INTRODUCTION

 

Financial Information

 

As used in this annual report on Form 20-F, first person personal pronouns such as “we,” “us” or “our” refer to ENERSIS S.A. (“Enersis”) and our consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, our interest in our principal subsidiaries and related companies is expressed in terms of our economic interest as of December 31, 2005.

 

In this annual report on Form 20-F, unless otherwise specified, references to “dollars,” “$,” “U.S. dollars” or “U.S.$” are to U.S. dollars, references to “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of Chile, references to “Ar$” or “Argentine pesos” are to the legal currency of Argentina, references to “R$,” or “reais” are to Brazilian reals, the legal currency of Brazil, references to “soles” are to Peruvian soles, the legal currency of Peru, references to “CPs” or Colombian pesos are to the legal currency of Colombia and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The Unidad de Fomento is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily in advance based on changes in the previous month’s inflation rate. As of December 31, 2005, 1 UF was equivalent to Ch$ 17,974.81. The U.S. dollar equivalent of 1 UF was U.S.$ 35.07 at December 31, 2005, using the Observed Exchange Rate, reported by the Banco Central de Chile (the “Chilean Central Bank” or the “Central Bank”) as of December 31, 2005, of Ch$ 512.50 per U.S.$ 1.00. As of February 28, 2006, 1 UF was equivalent to Ch$ 17,922.63. The U.S. dollar equivalent of 1 UF was U.S.$ 34.64 as of February 28, 2006, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank of Ch$ 517.33 per U.S.$ 1.00.

 

Our consolidated financial statements and, unless otherwise indicated, other financial information concerning us and our subsidiaries included in this annual report are presented in constant Chilean pesos in conformity with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles (“Chilean GAAP”) and the rules of the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, or SVS. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 are expressed in constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2005. See note 2(c) to our consolidated financial statements. For Chilean accounting purposes, inflation adjustments are calculated based on a “one-month lag” convention using an inflation adjustment factor based on the Indice de Precios al Consumidor (Chilean consumer price index or “Chilean CPI”). The Chilean CPI is published by Chile’s Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the “National Bureau of Statistics”). For example, the inflation adjustment applicable for the 2005 calendar year is the percentage change between the November 2004 Chilean CPI and the November 2005 Chilean CPI, which was 3.6%. Chilean GAAP differs in certain important respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). See note 36 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this annual report for a description of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to us, and for a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of stockholders’ equity and net income as of, and for the three years in the period ended, December 31, 2005.

 

Under Chilean GAAP, we consolidate the results from operations of a company defined as a “subsidiary” under Law No. 18,046 (the “Chilean Companies Act”). In order to consolidate a company, we must generally satisfy one of two criteria:

 

      control, directly or indirectly, more than a 50% voting interest in that company; or

 

      nominate or have the power to nominate a majority of the Board of Directors of that company if we control 50% or less of the voting interest of that company.

 

As of December 31, 2005, we consolidated Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A., or Endesa Chile, Enersis Internacional, or Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., or Chilectra, Inversiones Distrilima S.A. (which in turn consolidated Empresa de Distribución Eléctrica de Lima Norte S.A.A. or Edelnor), Empresa Distribuidora Sur S.A., or Edesur, Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco Limitada, or IMV, Synapsis Soluciones y Servicios IT Ltda., or Synapsis, Compañía Americana de Multiservicios Ltda., or CAM, Codensa S.A. E.S.P. or Codensa and Elesur S.A. or Elesur. Through Endesa Brasil, S.A. or Endesa Brasil, we consolidated Ampla Energía e Servicos S.A., or Ampla, Investluz (which in turn consolidated Companhia Energética do Ceará S.A., or Coelce), Central Geradora Termelétrica Endesa Fortaleza S.A., or Endesa Fortaleza, Centrais Eléctricas Cachoeira Dourada S.A. or CDSA or Cachoeira

 

3



 

Dourada and Companhia de Interconexão Energética S.A. or CIEN (which in turn consolidated Compañía de Transmisión del Mercosur or CTM and Transportadora del Energía de Mercosur S.A. or TESA).

 

Endesa Chile, in turn, consolidated all of its operational Chilean subsidiaries. In Argentina, Endesa Chile consolidated the hydroelectric company Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., or El Chocón, and thermoelectric companies Endesa Costanera S.A., or Endesa Costanera or ENCO. In Colombia, Endesa Chile consolidated generation companies Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P., or Betania, and Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., or Emgesa. Endesa Chile also consolidated the hydroelectric company Edegel S.A.A., or Edegel, in Peru.

 

For the convenience of the reader, this annual report contains translations of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates. Unless otherwise indicated, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information in Chilean pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate, as defined in “Item 3. Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data — Exchange Rates” at December 31, 2005. No representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar amounts shown in this annual report could have been or could be converted into U.S.$ or Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at such rate or at any other rate. See “Item 3. Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data — Exchange Rates.”

 

Technical Terms

 

References to “GW” and “GWh” are to gigawatts and gigawatt hours, respectively; references to “MW” and “MWh” are to megawatts and megawatt hours, respectively; references to “kW” and “kWh” are to kilowatts and kilowatt hours, respectively; and references to “kV” are to kilovolts. Unless otherwise indicated, statistics provided in this annual report with respect to electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW, in the case of the installed capacity of such facilities, and in GWh, in the case of the aggregate annual electricity production of such facilities. One GW = 1,000 MW, and one MW = 1,000 kW. Statistics relating to aggregate annual electricity production are expressed in GWh and are based on a year of 8,760 hours. Statistics relating to installed capacity and production of the electricity industry do not include electricity of self-generators. Statistics relating to our production do not include electricity consumed by our generators.

 

Energy losses are calculated by:

 

      subtracting the number of GWh of energy sold from the number of GWh of energy purchased and self-generated within a given period; and

 

      calculating the percentage that the resulting quantity bears to the aggregate number of GWh of energy purchased and self-generated within the same period.

 

Calculation of Economic Interest

 

References are made in this annual report to the “economic interest” of Enersis in its subsidiaries or related companies. In circumstances where Enersis does not own its interest in a subsidiary or related company directly, the economic interest of Enersis in such ultimate subsidiary or related company is calculated by multiplying the percentage ownership interest of Enersis in a directly held subsidiary or related company by the percentage ownership interest of any entity in the chain of ownership of such ultimate subsidiary or related company. For example, if Enersis owns 60% of a directly held subsidiary and that subsidiary owns 40% of a related company, Enersis’ economic ownership interest in such related company would be 24%. References are also made in this annual report to the economic interest of Endesa Chile in its subsidiaries and related companies. Calculation of Endesa Chile’s economic interest is made based on the same method used to calculate the economic interest of Enersis.

 

We are a holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. As of the date of this annual report, we beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 60.0% of Endesa Chile’s outstanding capital stock and 98.3% of Chilectra’s outstanding capital stock. ENDESA, S.A. (“Endesa-Spain”), the largest electricity generation and distribution company in Spain, owned a 60.6% beneficial interest in Enersis as of December 31, 2005.

(1)   Energy sold by Chilectra includes sales to Río Maipo up to 2003, in which year we sold this company.

 

(2)   Energy losses are calculated by (a) subtracting the number of GWh of energy sold from the aggregate GWh of energy purchased and self-generated within a period and (b) calculating the percentage that the resulting sum bears to the aggregate number of GWh of energy purchased and self-generated within the same period. Energy losses arise from illegally tapped energy as well as technical failures.

 

(3)   As a result of the creation of Endesa Brasil, Cachoeira Dourada became a subsidiary of Enersis as of October 2005. As of the same date, Enersis also started to consolidate Endesa Fortaleza. As of December 31, 2005, Ampla had small generation facilities with a maximum capacity of 62 MW, however a sales agreement for these facilities has been signed as of the same date. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment”.

EXCHANGE RATES

 

To the extent our financial liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the foreign currencies may have a significant impact on our earnings.

 

Chile’s Ley Orgánica del Banco Central de Chile No. 18,840, or the Central Bank Act, enacted in 1989, liberalized the ability to buy and sell foreign currencies in Chile. Prior to 1989, the law authorized the purchase and sale of foreign currencies only in those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank. The Central Bank Act currently provides that the Central Bank may require that certain purchases and sales of foreign exchange be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Formal, or the formal exchange market, a market formed by banks and other entities explicitly authorized by the Central Bank. Purchases and sales of foreign currencies which are generally permitted to be transacted outside the formal exchange market can be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Informal, or the informal exchange market, which is a recognized currency market in Chile. Both the formal and informal exchange markets are driven by free market forces.

 

For the purposes of the operation of the formal exchange market, the Central Bank sets a reference exchange rate (dólar acuerdo). The reference exchange rate is reset daily by the Central Bank, taking into account internal and external inflation and variations in parties between the Chilean peso and each of the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the Euro in a ratio of 80:5:15, respectively. In order to keep the average exchange rate within certain limits, on rare occasions the Central Bank intervenes by buying or selling foreign exchange in the formal exchange market. The daily observed exchange rate (dólar observado) reported by the Central Bank and published daily in Chilean newspapers is computed by taking the weighted average of the previous business day’s transactions in the formal exchange market.

 

The informal exchange market reflects transactions carried out at informal exchange rates by entities not expressly authorized to operate in the formal exchange market (e.g., certain foreign exchange houses, travel agencies and others). There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the informal exchange market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate. Since 1993, the observed exchange rate and the informal exchange rate have typically been within less than 1% of each other. On December 31, 2005, the informal exchange rate was Ch$ 512.30, or 0.04% greater than the published observed exchange rate of Ch$ 512.50 per U.S.$ 1.00. On February 28, 2006, the informal exchange rate was Ch$ 517.50 per U.S.$ 1.00, 517.33 as the observed exchange rate corresponding to such date. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts translated to U.S. dollars were calculated based on the exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2005.

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods and dates indicated, certain information concerning the observed exchange rate reported by the Central Bank. No representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar amounts referred to herein could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at the rates indicated or at any other rate. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos.

Risks Relating to Our Operations

 

Since our business depends heavily on hydrological conditions, drought conditions may hurt our profitability.

 

Approximately 68% of our consolidated installed capacity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru is hydroelectric. Accordingly, adverse hydrological conditions affect our business and have a substantial influence over our results.

 

During periods of drought, thermal plants, including those that use natural gas, fuel oil or coal as a fuel, are dispatched more frequently. Our operating expenses increase during these periods and, depending on the size of our commitments, we may have to buy electricity from other parties in order to comply with our contractual supply obligations. The cost of these electricity purchases in the spot market may exceed the price at which we sell contracted electricity, thus producing losses from those contracts.

 

In 2000, our generation subsidiaries established a commercial and risk-reduction policy in order to mitigate the potential impact of interruptions to our ability to supply electricity, including those caused by droughts, interruptions in gas supply and prolonged plant stoppages. Pursuant to this policy, a volume of contracts is determined for each generation company that reduces the risks to acceptable levels, assured by a degree of statistical reliability of 95%. Any contracts for volumes that exceed this 95% level are required to include clauses transferring the risk of interruptions to the customers. Notwithstanding this risk-reduction policy, a prolonged drought could adversely affect our results.

 

Regulatory authorities may impose fines on our subsidiaries.

 

In Chile, our electricity businesses may be subject to regulatory fines for any breach of current regulations, including energy supply failure. As of December 31, 2005, such fines may range from 1 Unidad Tributaria Mensual (“UTM”), equivalent to approximately U.S.$ 62, to 10,000 Unidades Tributarias Anuales (“UTA”), equivalent to approximately U.S.$ 7.4 million. Any electricity company supervised by the Chilean Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels, or SEF, may be subject to these fines, which apply in cases where, in the opinion of the SEF, operational failures that affect the regular energy supply to the system are the fault of such company. These fines may be appealed. An electricity company supervised by the SEF may be subject to fines when the electricity system is affected by operating failures, even when it is not within such company’s power to react to prevent such failures.

 

10



 

Our generation and distribution subsidiaries may be required to pay fines or to compensate customers if those subsidiaries are unable to deliver electricity to them even if such failure is due to forces outside of our control. For example, in 1999 Argentine regulators required us to pay approximately U.S.$ 59 million in fines as a consequence of electricity outages resulting from a fire in one of our distribution substations belonging to Edesur. The imposition of these penalties in Argentina increased our operating costs significantly and was not accounted for under the tariff structure that determines our revenues. Although we received compensation from the contractor responsible for the fire, there can be no assurance that we will receive compensation from third parties in the event of any future delivery failure. Our profitability will be affected adversely if we are required to pay penalties and fines.

 

On August 14, 2003, the SEF imposed fines on some of our Chilean generation subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of 5,330 UTA, equivalent to approximately U.S.$ 3.9 million, due to a failure in the transmission of energy in the Metropolitan Region on September 23, 2002. On April 27 and May 3, 2004, the SEF imposed fines on both Endesa Chile and Chilectra in an aggregate amount of 3,860 UTA, equivalent to approximately U.S.$ 2.9 million, due to a blackout that occurred in the Metropolitan Region on January 13, 2003. On July 4, 2005, the SEF imposed fines of 1,260 UTA, equivalent to approximately to U.S.$ 0.9 million, on Endesa Chile due to a blackout that occurred in the Metropolitan Region on November 7, 2003. Our subsidiaries are currently appealing these fines, but these appeals may not be successful.

 

Governmental regulations may impose additional operating costs which may reduce our profits.

 

We are subject to extensive regulation of tariffs and other aspects of our business in the countries in which we operate, and these regulations may affect our profitability adversely. In addition, changes in the regulatory framework, including changes that if adopted would significantly affect our operations, are frequently submitted to the legislators and administrative authorities in the countries in which we operate, and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

Electricity rationing in Chile. If our Chilean generation subsidiaries are unable to comply with their contractual obligations during electricity rationing periods, we may be subject to higher operating costs. The Chilean government can impose electricity rationing during drought conditions or prolonged failures in the country’s thermoelectric facilities. If, during rationing, we are unable to generate enough electricity to comply with our contractual obligations, we may be forced to buy electricity in the pool market at the spot price, since a drought can no longer constitute a force majeure event. The spot price may be significantly higher than our costs to generate the electricity and can be as high as the “cost of failure” set by the Comisión Nacional de Energía (National Energy Commission), or the CNE. The “cost of failure” is determined by the CNE’s economic models as the highest cost of electricity during periods of electricity deficit. If we are unable to buy enough electricity in the pool market to comply with all our contractual obligations, then we would have to compensate our regulated customers for the volume we failed to provide at the “rationed end-consumer price.”  If rationing policies are imposed by regulatory authorities in Chile, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected adversely in a material way.

 

In similar way, if rationing policies are imposed by any regulatory authority as a result of adverse hydrological conditions in the countries in which we operate, our business, financial condition and results from operations may be affected adversely in a material way. Rationing periods may occur in the future, and consequently our generation subsidiaries may be required to pay regulatory penalties if such subsidiaries fail to provide adequate service under such conditions.

 

Approximately 76% of the installed capacity of our Chilean generation subsidiaries is hydroelectric. These generation companies own unlimited duration unconditional and absolute property water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority. However, in March 2005, Chilean Congress approved a modification to the current laws governing unused water rights. Under the amended law, beginning on January 1, 2006, Chilean generation companies will have to pay an annual license for unused water rights. We are constantly analyzing which water rights we will maintain for the future and which we will disregard. If we determine that some water rights will not be used for a future project, we will abandon such water rights in order to avoid liability for license payments. We estimate that in the event that we do not abandon any water rights in the SIC, we will have to pay license fees aggregating no more than 5,773 UTA (or U.S.$ 4.3 million per year). License fee payments carried out during the

 

11



 

eight years before the commencement of any project, or the use of such water rights, may be recovered through a tax credit that is applied monthly until the license fee payments are recovered in full.

 

In the case of water rights located in the extreme south of Chile (in particular, the Eleventh and Twelfth Regions, outside the area comprised by the SIC), the license payments will be paid starting as of January 1, 2012, using the same tax refund regime mentioned above for the SIC.

 

In May 2001, the Ministry of Economy issued Resolution 88, under which electricity generators such as ours are required to provide electricity to distribution companies that have been unable to contract an adequate supply to deliver to their customers. The last amendment to the electricity law, called Short Law II, established a mechanism of transitory compensations, under which until December 31, 2008, energy sales derived from Resolution 88 must be carried out at the spot price. Short Law II therefore temporarily alleviates for our subsidiaries some of the pricing risks implicit in Resolution 88. For a more complete discussion of this topic, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

 

Environmental regulations in the countries in which we operate may increase our costs of operations.

 

Our operating subsidiaries are also subject to environmental regulations, which, among other things, require us to perform environmental impact studies for future projects and obtain permits from both local and national regulators. Approval of these environmental impact studies may be withheld by governmental authorities, public opposition may result in delays or modifications to any proposed project and laws or regulations may change or be interpreted in a manner that could adversely affect our operations or our plans for companies in which we hold investments. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview —Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

 

Foreign exchange risks may affect our results from operations and financial condition adversely.

 

The Chilean peso and the other South American currencies in which we and our subsidiaries operate have been subject to large devaluations and appreciations against the U.S. dollar in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. Historically, a significant portion of our consolidated indebtedness has been denominated in U.S. dollars and, although a substantial portion of our revenues are linked in part to U.S. dollars, we generally have been and will continue to be materially exposed to fluctuations of our local currencies against the dollar because of time lags and other limitations in the indexation of our tariffs to the dollar.

 

Because of this exposure, the cash generated by our subsidiaries can be diminished materially when our local currencies devalue against the dollar. For example, in the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, regulatory changes introduced in 2002 eliminated dollar indexation of our tariffs altogether, which together with a devaluation of approximately 71% of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar and “pesification” of our contractual rates, resulted in a reduction of net cash generation. Future volatility in the exchange rate of the Chilean peso, and the other currencies in which we receive revenues or incur expenditures, to the dollar, may affect our financial condition and results from operations. For more information on the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

 

As of December 31, 2005, Enersis had total consolidated indebtedness of U.S. $6,867 million, which includes the effect of currency hedging instruments. This amount is different from the accounting figure, as it reflects financial debt. From this amount, U.S.$ 3,402 million, or approximately 50%, was denominated in U.S. dollars. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, our revenues amounted to U.S.$ 7,036 million (before consolidation adjustments) of which U.S.$ 402 million, or approximately 6%, were denominated in U.S. dollars, and U.S.$ 1,036 million, or approximately 15%, were linked in some way to the dollar. In the aggregate, approximately 20% of our revenues (before consolidation adjustments) were either in U.S. dollars or correlated to such currency through some form of indexation. On the other hand, the equivalent of U.S.$ 1,514 million were revenues in pesos, which represents approximately 22% of our 2005 revenues (before consolidation adjustments).

 

In addition to the dollar and the Chilean peso, our foreign-currency denominated consolidated indebtedness included the equivalent of U.S.$ 745 million in Brazilian reais (including the effect of a U.S.$/R$ swap contract), U.S.$ 728 million in Colombian pesos, U.S.$ 308 million in Peruvian soles, and U.S.$ 76 million in Argentine pesos, for an aggregate of U.S.$ 1,856 million in currencies other than Chilean pesos and U.S. dollars. At the same

time, revenues before consolidation adjustments in these other currencies for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, included the equivalent of U.S.$ 1,767 million in Brazilian reais, U.S.$ 1,077 million in Colombian pesos, U.S.$ 752 million in Argentine pesos, and U.S.$ 489 million in Peruvian soles. Despite the fact that we have both revenues and debt in these same currencies, we believe that we are subject to risk in terms of our foreign exchange exposure to these four currencies. The most material case is that of Argentina, where most of our debt is denominated in U.S. dollars while our revenues are mostly in Argentine pesos.

 

We may be subject to refinancing risk.

 

As of December 31, 2005, on a consolidated basis, we had U.S.$ 1,436 million of indebtedness maturing in 2006, U.S.$ 424 million in 2007, and U.S.$ 1,892 million of indebtedness maturing in the period 2008-09 and U.S.$ 3,115 million maturing thereafter.

 

As of the same date we had short-term indebtedness of U.S.$ 122 million in Argentina, U.S.$ 274 million in Brazil, U.S.$ 120 million in Colombia, U.S.$ 168 million in Peru, and U.S.$ 751 million in Chile.

 

We are subject to certain fairly standard financial covenants related to maximum ratios of indebtedness to adjusted cash flow, indebtedness to EBITDA, debt to equity and minimum ratios of adjusted cash flow to interest expense. In addition, substantially all of our indebtedness contains cross-default provisions, generally triggered by default on other indebtedness in amounts exceeding U.S.$ 30 million on an individual basis. In the event that any of our cross-default provisions are triggered and our existing creditors demand immediate repayment, a significant portion of our indebtedness could become due and payable. For more information on covenants and relevant provisions for these credit facilities, see “Item 5 — Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness or obtain such refinancing on terms acceptable to us. In the absence of such refinancing, we could be forced to dispose of assets in order to make up for any shortfall in the payments due on our indebtedness under circumstances that might not be favorable to obtaining the best price for such assets. Furthermore, assets may not be sold quickly enough, or for amounts sufficient to enable us to make such payments.

 

As of the date of this report, Argentina is the country with the highest refinancing risk. As of December 31, 2005, the third-party financial debt of our Argentine subsidiaries amounted to U.S.$ 377 million. As a matter of policy for all of our Argentine subsidiaries, as long as the foreign currency restrictions remain in Argentina, and as long as fundamental issues concerning the electricity sector remain unresolved, we are primarily making interest payments when due and we are rolling over most of our outstanding debt. Our international creditors have understood the extraordinary circumstances that have led us to take these steps and to date have accepted these refinancing arrangements. If our creditors do not continue to accept, or the Argentine Central Bank will not continue to permit, rolling over debt principal when it becomes due, we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms that would otherwise be acceptable to us.

 

We are a holding company and depend on payments from our subsidiaries and related companies to meet our payment obligations.

 

We are a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries. In order to pay our obligations, we rely on cash from dividends, loans, interest payments, capital reductions and other distributions from our subsidiaries, as well as cash from proceeds of the issuance of new securities. Our ability to pay our obligations will depend on the receipt of distributions from our subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, interest payments, loans and other distributions to us is subject to legal constraints such as dividend restrictions, fiduciary duties, contractual limitations, and foreign exchange controls that may be imposed in any of the five countries where our subsidiaries operate. Our subsidiaries and equity affiliates may be additionally limited by their operating results.

 

We have generally been able to access the cash flows of our Chilean subsidiaries. We have not been similarly able to access the cash flows of our non-Chilean operating subsidiaries due to government regulations, strategic considerations, economic conditions, and credit restrictions.

 

13



 

Our future results from operations outside Chile may continue to be subject to greater economic and political uncertainties than what we have experienced in Chile, thereby reducing the likelihood that we will be able to rely on cash flow from operations in those entities to repay our debt.

 

Dividend Limits and Other Legal Restrictions. Our Chilean subsidiaries are subject to customary legal restrictions limiting the amount of dividend distributions. Some of our non-Chilean subsidiaries are also subject to legal reserve requirements and other restrictions on dividend payments. In addition, the ability of any of our less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries to upstream cash to us may be limited by the fiduciary duties of the directors of such subsidiaries to their minority shareholders. As a consequence of such duties, our subsidiaries could, under certain circumstances, be prevented from upstreaming cash to us.

 

Contractual Constraints. Upstreaming restrictions in our subsidiaries’ contractual agreements include:

 

      prohibitions against dividend distributions by Endesa Chile in the case of default, and Pangue, our Chilean generation subsidiary, if it is not in compliance with certain debt to equity ratios and debt coverage ratios (each as defined in Pangue’s credit agreements);

 

      prohibitions against dividend distributions by Edelnor and Edegel in Peru, and Betania in Colombia in the case of default of certain loans;

 

      prohibitions against repayments by Betania of intercompany debt unless it raises additional funds from the sale of assets or capital reductions of Emgesa, and against payments of interest on intercompany debt if any scheduled payment of Betania’s syndicated loan is due and not paid;

 

      prohibitions against dividend distributions, capital reductions, intercompany interest payments and debt repayment by Ampla and Coelce in Brazil, and Endesa Costanera in Argentina, in each case in the case of default and if not in compliance with certain financial ratios.

 

Operating Results of Our Subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries and equity affiliates to pay dividends or make loan payments or other distributions to us is limited by their operating results. To the extent that the cash requirements at any of our subsidiaries exceed available cash, such subsidiary will not be able to make cash available to us.

 

Foreign Exchange Controls. The ability of our non-Chilean subsidiaries and equity affiliates to pay dividends and make loan payments or other distributions to us may be subject to emergency restrictions that may be imposed by Central Banks or other governmental authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. For example, during the economic crisis in Argentina, the Central Bank of Argentina imposed restrictions on the transfer of funds outside of Argentina.

 

The Argentine natural gas crisis has increased the vulnerability of the electricity sector in Chile.

 

In Argentina, the low price imposed by regulators on natural gas has directly affected production and investment in natural gas fields, which has in turn impacted the short and medium-term availability of this fuel in Chile. A natural gas shortage may force electricity generation companies, including ours, to use more expensive fuel oil, thus substantially increasing production costs. Strong demand for electricity in Chile’s central region, which increased by 4.5% in 2005 and is expected to continue to increase significantly in the foreseeable future, combined with a low level of investment in the electricity sector, makes the Chilean electricity sector particularly exposed to the adverse effects of the Argentine natural gas crisis.

 

In Chile’s central region, Endesa Chile’s thermal plants San Isidro and Taltal use natural gas for thermal generation and have gas contracts with Argentine suppliers. The Argentine government has adopted a resolution allowing governmental authorities to partially suspend natural gas exports and giving the President of Argentina the power to temporarily suspend the long-term supply contracts of Argentine exporters. Since then, Argentina has significantly curtailed its natural gas exports to Chile. As a result, the Chilean electricity sector is more vulnerable than in the past.

Construction of new facilities may be affected adversely by factors associated with new construction projects.

 

Factors that may adversely affect our ability to build new facilities include:

 

      delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits;

 

      shortages or changes in the prices of equipment, materials or labor;

 

      local opposition of political, environmental and ethnic groups;

 

      adverse changes in the political and regulatory environment in the countries where we and our related companies operate;

 

      adverse weather conditions, which may delay the completion of power plants or substations, or natural disasters, accidents or other unforeseen events; and

 

      the inability to obtain financing at affordable rates.

 

Any of these factors may cause delays in the completion of all or part of our capital investments program and may increase the cost of the projects.

 

We are currently involved in various litigation proceedings, which could result in unfavorable decisions or financial penalties for us, and we will continue to be subject to future litigation proceedings, which could have material adverse consequences to our business.

 

We are a party to a number of legal proceedings, some of which have been pending for several years. Some of these claims may be resolved against us. Our financial condition or results from operations could be affected adversely to a material extent if certain of these material claims are resolved against us. See note 30 of “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

 

There may be potential conflicts of interest with our affiliates which could affect our business adversely.

 

Endesa-Spain currently owns 60.6% of Enersis’ share capital. Therefore, Endesa-Spain has the power to determine the outcome of most material matters to be decided by a vote of our shareholders, such as the election of the majority of our board members and, subject to contractual and legal restrictions, the distribution of dividends. Endesa-Spain can also exercise influence over our operations and business strategies. Endesa-Spain conducts its business in South America through us and through affiliates not consolidated by us.

 

Certain of our directors are officers of Endesa-Spain and officers and directors of certain subsidiaries of Endesa-Spain. For more information about these directors, please refer to “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A. Directors and Senior Management.”

 

Our subsidiaries sell electricity to other companies controlled by Endesa-Spain at regulated prices and have entered into contracts for other services with other companies controlled by Endesa-Spain.

 

To the extent any conflict arises between our interests and those of Endesa-Spain’s other businesses in any jurisdiction in South America, Endesa-Spain may have a conflict of interest, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

We have outstanding credit facilities with “change of control” provisions which could result in some acceleration rights on such indebtedness.

 

At the time of this report, two companies have made tender offers for the control of our current parent company, ENDESA, S.A., (Endesa-Spain). In this context, some of our credit facilities have “change of control” contractual provisions. As of December 31, 2005, U.S.$ 1.1 billion of Enersis’ consolidated indebtedness (excluding Endesa Chile on a consolidated basis) and U.S.$ 600 million of Endesa Chile’s consolidated indebtedness, had some kind of “change of control provision” either in the form of a negative covenant, a mandatory prepayment or otherwise. However, U.S.$ 176 million of Enersis’ subsidiaries’ contracts require a preliminary condition prior to

 

15



 

triggering such change of control provision, typically a merger or spin-off that would then result in a change of control. Similarly, U.S.$ 458 million in Endesa Chile’s subsidiaries’ contracts either (a) require a preliminary merger or spinoff prior to triggering such change of control provision, or (b) the change of control does not apply to Endesa-Spain but to the other companies instead.

 

A total of U.S.$ 935 million in Enersis and its consolidated subsidiaries other than Endesa Chile, and a total of U.S.$ 130 million in bank indebtedness incurred by Endesa Chile have “change of control provisions” which specifically refer to Endesa-Spain, directly or indirectly, as the controlling entity. If a change of control were to take place, both Enersis and Endesa Chile, and our subsidiaries, would need to seek the appropriate contractual waivers or amendments.

 

The U.S.$ 130 million of Endesa Chile debt and U.S.$ 65 million of Enersis debt are to be found in revolving credit instruments governed by the laws of New York, in which lenders under both facilities, on an individual basis, would be given rights to accelerate payment in the event that Endesa-Spain is no longer, directly or indirectly, the ultimate controlling parent, and the new controlling entity would have a lower rating (including with respect to outlook) than the unsecured long-term foreign currency rating of Endesa-Spain, as rated by each of S&P and Moody’s immediately prior to giving effect to a transaction involving a change of control, as defined. Endesa-Spain’s current ratings are “A3 with negative outlook” from Moody’s, “A with negative outlook” from S&P and “A with negative watch” from Fitch.

 

Enersis’ subsidiaries in Brazil have credit facilities for an aggregate of U.S.$ 840 million with some kind of “change of control language,” most of them involving standard BNDES clauses. BNDES is a state-owned development bank. Although we believe that BNDES would ultimately waive any potential change of control provision, especially if the ultimate controlling entity had good credit ratings, we can not give assurances that this would happen.

 

If a tender offer for Endesa-Spain is successful, and if a change of control were to take place, we cannot give assurances that our lenders and relevant governmental entities such as BNDES in Brazil would waive any acceleration rights that they might otherwise have under such credit agreements. For information on the recent tender offers over Endesa-Spain, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments.”  For more detailed information on Enersis and Endesa Chile contractual provisions, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

The values of our subsidiaries’ long-term energy supply contracts are subject to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities.

 

We have economic exposure to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities as a result of the long-term energy sales contracts we have entered into. Our subsidiaries have material obligations under long-term fixed-price electricity sales contracts, the values of which fluctuate with the market price of electricity. In addition, our generation subsidiaries have material obligations as selling parties under long-term energy supply contracts with prices that vary in accordance with the market price of electricity, water levels in our reservoirs, the market prices of primary materials such as natural gas, oil, coal and other energy-related products, as well as the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. Changes in the market price of these commodities and in the exchange rate do not always correlate with changes in the market price of electricity or with our cost of production of electricity; accordingly, there may be times when the price paid to us under these contracts is less than our cost of production or acquisition of electricity. We do not carry out transactions in commodity derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. Under Chilean GAAP, our income statement does not reflect fluctuations in the fair value of our long-term energy contracts, although we are required to do so under U.S. GAAP. Our policy is not to enter into supply contracts for amounts exceeding our firm capacity under adverse hydrological conditions. For further discussion, please refer to “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk — Commodity Price Risk.”

Risk Factors Relating to Chile

 

Our business is dependent on the Chilean economy and our revenues are sensitive to its performance.

 

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in Chile and, accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are to a certain extent dependent upon economic conditions prevailing in Chile. In 2005, the Chilean economy grew by an estimated 6.3% compared to a 6.1% increase in 2004. The latest Chilean Central Bank estimate for growth in 2006 is in the range of 5.25%-6.25%. There is no assurance that such growth will be achieved, that the growth trend will continue in the future, or that future developments in the Chilean economy will not impair our ability to proceed with our strategic plans or impact our financial condition or results from operations adversely. Our financial condition and results from operations could also be affected by changes in economic or other policies of the Chilean government, which has exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector. In addition, our financial condition and results from operations could also be affected by other political or economic developments in Chile, a well as regulatory changes or administrative practices of Chilean authorities, over which we have no control.

 

Increased inflation in Chile may affect our results from operations adversely.

 

Although Chilean inflation has been low in recent years, Chile has experienced high levels of inflation in the past. High levels of inflation in Chile could affect the Chilean economy adversely and, indirectly, the value of shares of our common stock and ADSs. The Chilean Consumer Price Index, or Chilean CPI, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, was 3.7%, and the Chilean Central Bank estimates Chilean CPI to be approximately 3.2% and 2.8% for 2006 and 2007, respectively. Historically, a substantial part of our expenses have been denominated in Chilean pesos, and future increases in Chilean inflation could cause our expenses to rise significantly. As a result, the level of Chilean inflation may affect our financial condition and results from operations.

 

We believe that moderate inflation will not materially affect our business in Chile. Electricity tariffs in Chile, both for generation and distribution, contain indexing mechanisms that are intended to neutralize the effects of inflation. However, we believe that the performance of the Chilean economy, our operating results, and the value of securities issued by us, could be affected adversely if inflation levels were to rise significantly.

 

Lawsuits against us brought outside Chile or complaints against us based on foreign legal concepts may be unsuccessful.

 

We are governed by the laws of Chile and all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States as well. If any shareholder were to bring a lawsuit against our directors, officers or experts in the United States, it may be difficult for them to effect service of legal process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them, in United States courts or Chilean courts, judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is doubt as to whether an action could be brought successfully in Chile on the basis of liability based solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.

 

Foreign exchange risks may affect the U.S. dollar amount of dividends payable to holders of our ADSs adversely.

 

Chilean trading in the shares of common stock underlying the ADSs is conducted in pesos. Our depositary bank will receive cash distributions that we make with respect to the shares underlying the ADSs in pesos. The depositary will convert such pesos to U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate to make dividend and other distribution payments in respect of ADSs. If the Chilean peso depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of the ADSs and any distributions ADS holders receive from the depositary may decrease.

 

17



 

The relative illiquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets could affect the price of our ADSs and common stock adversely.

 

Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller and less liquid than the major securities markets in the United States. In addition, Chilean securities markets may be affected materially by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in South America. The low liquidity of the Chilean market may impair the ability of holders of ADSs to sell shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADS program into the Chilean market in the amount and at the price and time they wish to do so.

 

Risk Factors Relating to the Rest of South America

 

South American economic fluctuations are likely to affect our results from operations.

 

All of our operations are located in South America. Although we originally operated only in Chile, we have, through strategic acquisitions and investments, expanded our operations throughout South America. In 2005, we generated approximately 65% of our consolidated operating revenues and approximately 63% of our consolidated operating income outside Chile (before consolidation adjustments). Accordingly, our consolidated revenues are sensitive to the performance of the South American economies as a whole. If local, regional or worldwide economic trends adversely affect the economy of any of the countries in which we have investments or operations, our financial condition and results from operations could be affected adversely.

 

The South American financial and securities markets are, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and market conditions in other emerging market countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investor reaction to developments in one country can have significant effects on the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile. Chilean financial and securities markets may be affected adversely by events elsewhere, especially in other emerging markets, and such effects may affect the value of our securities. Moreover, we have significant investments in relatively risky non-Chilean countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Generation and upstreaming of cash from subsidiaries in these countries have proven to be volatile.

 

Certain South American economies have been characterized by frequent and occasionally drastic intervention by governmental authorities, which may affect our business adversely.

 

Governmental authorities have often changed monetary, credit, tariff and other policies to influence the course of the economy of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. These governments’ actions to control inflation and effect other policies have often involved wage, price and tariff rate controls as well as other interventionist measures, which have included freezing bank accounts and imposing capital controls. Changes in the policies of these governmental authorities with respect to tariff rates, exchange controls, regulations and taxation could affect our business and financial results adversely, as could inflation, devaluation, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments, including the response by governments in the region to such circumstances. If governmental authorities intervene in any of the countries in which we operate, it could cause our business to be less profitable, and our results from operations may be affected adversely.

 

Risk Factors Related to Brazil

 

Energy losses in Brazil may affect our financial results adversely.

 

Our Brazilian distribution subsidiaries experience materially higher energy losses than those of the rest of our distribution operations, with Coelce and Ampla experiencing average loss rates for 2005 of 14.0% and 22.4%, respectively, compared with an average loss rate of 8.9% for the rest of our distribution operations. Elevated energy loss rates in our Brazilian distribution subsidiaries are due principally to energy theft, which is particularly acute in areas with high concentrations of low-income customers and in periods of economic downturn. Energy losses affect our financial results because lost energy could otherwise have been distributed to customers or sold to other distributors in return for payment.

 

18



 

Delays in the yearly tariff-review process may adversely affect our profitability.

 

In April 2005, our distribution subsidiary, Coelce, went through its yearly tariff review process and obtained a tariff increase of 23.6%. However, part of the process was contested in court, which delayed its effective application until mid-October, thereby reducing our expected revenues. A final legal decision has yet to be taken. If the courts eventually reverse these new tariffs for Coelce, the result may have an adverse effect on our profitability.

 

Future governmental initiatives may affect our operations adversely.

 

Program for Regulatory Losses in Brazil. In connection with the next distribution tariff-setting process in 2008, we expect the government to reduce the provision for energy losses in tariffs. This represents a risk for our companies, Ampla and Coelce, because tariffs today recognize a level of losses close to the real level of each company. Consequently, any future tariff reduction will negatively affect Brazilian operations if we are not able to reduce the high level of energy theft.

 

Brazilian social low-income program. The Brazilian authorities have designed a program that will ensure electricity to those who cannot afford it. The program provides a subsidy to the distributor supply in order to allow residential consumers to pay a lower tariff for energy if they satisfy certain requirements. Consumers have faced difficulties enrolling in government programs of this kind. To solve this problem, ANEEL enacted Resolution No. 148/05, which allows consumers to enjoy the benefits of the government program by making a simple declaration agreeing to deliver the documentation that proves compliance with the applicable requirements of the program until February 2007. It is uncertain whether ANEEL will extend the deadline beyond such date, or whether consumers who have not delivered the required documentation by that date will lose the benefit of the electricity subsidy. Approximately 40% of Ampla’s customers require this benefit in order to pay their electricity bills. If these customers are unable to participate in this program, they may be unable to pay amounts owing to us in a timely manner, if at all, and electricity theft may increase, any of which may affect our operating results adversely.

 

Risk Factors Related to Argentina

 

The Central Bank of Argentina lifted, but may reinstate, restrictions on the transfer of funds outside of Argentina that could prevent our Argentine subsidiaries from distributing dividends and paying principal on certain of their external debt as it comes due.

 

From December 3, 2001 to May 6, 2003, the Argentine government imposed a number of monetary and currency exchange control measures that included restrictions on the free transfer of funds deposited with banks and severe restrictions on transferring funds abroad (including payments of dividends, principal and interest on debt), with certain exceptions for transfers related to foreign trade and other authorized transactions. The restrictions, requiring the Argentine Central Bank’s prior authorization for the transfer of funds abroad in order to make payments of principal and/or interest, were gradually relaxed from January to May 2003.

 

Currently, funds may be transferred abroad without the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank in order to pay dividends corresponding to prior periods provided that independent accountants have certified the financial statements for such period.

 

There can be no assurance, however, that the Argentine Central Bank will not once again require its prior authorization for the transfer of funds abroad for principal and/or interest payments by any of our Argentine subsidiaries to their foreign creditors or for dividend payments by our Argentine subsidiaries to their shareholders.

 

Should the Argentine Central Bank reimpose restrictions on the transfer of funds outside of Argentina that prevent our Argentine subsidiaries from paying principal on certain of their external debt, a substantial portion of their debt obligations may become due and payable, unless new financing is funded outside Argentina or our subsidiaries are able to renegotiate, or obtain a waiver with respect to the indebtedness that would be subject to such restrictions. If similar restrictions are imposed again, our Argentine subsidiaries may not be able to obtain new financing or be able to renegotiate or obtain waivers with respect to indebtedness subject to foreign exchange restrictions. In addition, such restrictions may impede the ability of our Argentine subsidiaries to make cash distributions to us.

 

19



 

Argentine authorities have implemented a number of monetary and currency-exchange control measures that have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our results from operations and financial condition in Argentina.

 

The Economic Emergency Law has affected Edesur adversely by repealing the provisions of Edesur’s concession contract that permitted its distribution tariffs to be pegged to the dollar, and that provided for certain price indexation mechanisms. Since Edesur’s invoices to its clients are no longer pegged to the dollar, the dollar value of such receivables declined significantly in the wake of the devaluation of the Argentine peso. Because Edesur’s indebtedness is largely dollar-denominated, the above-mentioned factors have had, and may continue to have, a significant negative impact on Edesur’s net income.

 

The Argentine public debt was restructured in a substantial portion on March 2005, but such restructuring continues to be subject to litigation. The Argentine government used its financial reserves in order to prepay a portion of U.S.$ 9.5 billion in debt held with the International Monetary Fund. This significant reduction in reserves could affect the government’s capacity to react to local or foreign risks in the short- and medium-term.

 

Electricity shortfalls in Argentina adversely affect our transmission and trading business in Brazil as well as our Argentine generation export business.

 

The insufficient electricity available in Argentina did not allow Argentine generators to fully comply with export contracts to Brazil in 2005, and created conflicts for generators who export electricity to CEMSA and CIEN, our transmission companies, as well as conflicts between CIEN and its Brazilian clients. Our Argentine generation subsidiary, Endesa Costanera (or ENCO), requested from CIEN and CEMSA, either a contractual amendment in order to restore the financial and economic equilibrium provisions which would result in a price increase, or alternatively, the rescission of the export contracts.

 

CIEN has been unable to comply with its clients, Furnas and Tractebel, given that those contracts call exclusively for Argentine electricity. Those clients retained some payments to CIEN, and CIEN in turn stopped certain payments to Endesa Costanera. Since both the Argentine and Brazilian regulators are directly involved in the conflict solution, Furnas and Tractebel have not initiated legal actions against CIEN. However, CIEN is contractually required to comply with its other clients, Copel and Ampla, and has in this case been forced to buy Brazilian-sourced electricity at the spot market. In so doing, CIEN’s short position has been only partially covered for 2006. As of the date of this report, CIEN’s operations under these contracts have been normal.

 

On December 9, 2005, the Argentine and Brazilian governments signed an Memorandum of Understanding, which facilitates the operation of export contracts without the imposition of fines for any incompliance, through a transitional period ending December 31, 2008. By that time, the assumption is that the full Argentine electricity supply should be reestablished. Under this Memorandum of Understanding, Endesa Costanera, CEMSA and CIEN are negotiating new conditions for the Argentine export contracts which would include new prices and a volume adjustment. CIEN is also under negotiations with Brazilian regulators, as well as Furnas and Tractebel.

 

Nevertheless, CIEN is currently short on its contracts with Copel and Ampla, which may be costly in poor hydrological conditions. In addition, we cannot give assurances that CIEN will reach a satisfactory resolution with Furnas and Tractebel, nor that Endesa Costanera will be able to achieve a desired financial and economic equilibrium or otherwise rescind its export contracts.

 

Risks Related to Distribution in Argentina

 

Since 2002, the Argentine electricity system has been operating under very tight conditions as a result of growth in demand, which has not been met with increased generation capacity. This situation may adversely impact our subsidiary Edesur, as distribution companies are obligated to supply to regulated customers in their concession area regardless of cost. Although the agreement signed in August 2005 establishes a waiver of this obligation until July 31, 2006, we do not know whether the waiver will be extended in the event that the generation of electricity proves to be insufficient for Edesur’s needs.

 

In August 2005, Edesur and the UNIREN (“Unidad de Renegociación y Análisis de Contratos de Servicios Públicos”), a government authority in charge of amending public service contracts, signed an agreement which

 

20



 

established conditions for a new tariff setting process to be implemented during 2006. There is a risk that the tariff setting could take considerable time in its implementation.

 

Risk Factors Related to Colombia

 

Formation of an electronic contract system could affect our business in Colombia.

 

The Commission for the Regulation of Energy and Gas (CREG) is promoting the creation of an electronic electricity exchange similar to a financial market. This would serve to increase the levels of competition and transparency in energy transactions between the different market players. However, according to preliminary documentation, the contracting parties would not be able to evaluate the creditworthiness of their counterparts. If, in the future, we are forced to conduct transactions through an electronic electricity exchange which does not allow us to assess counterparty credit risk, we will be exposed to a greater risk of payment and non-performance default, which may affect our revenues adversely.

 

Risk Factors Related to Peru

 

We may suffer losses as a result of satisfying non-contracted demand from regulated customers at the node price instead of the spot price of electricity.

 

In 2004, generators in Peru agreed to satisfy the non-contracted demand of the regulated market at the node price through 2007. Each generator would supply energy in proportion to its share of the country’s installed capacity. This agreement exposes the company to possible losses as a result of differences between the node price and the marginal cost of electricity because the company may be required to purchase electricity at higher prices in the spot market and resell it at fixed node prices. The average spot market price in 2005 reached approximately 63 U.S. dollars per MWh while the node price averaged approximately 40 U.S. dollars per MWh. The problem persisted in 2005, although distributors have increased the amount of contracted demand. Consequently, the total amount of non-contracted electricity demand from regulated customers has declined since 2004. The “Comité de Operación Económica del Sistema” (COES) has continued to allocate generators the demand in excess of contracted energy and capacity which distribution companies withdraw from the system. There is no assurance as to what the price difference will be between the average spot price in the electricity market and the node price in the future nor what amount of non -contracted electricity will be absorbed by our Company.

 

Future tariff reductions may adversely affect our business adversely.

 

The tariff setting process for secondary transmission systems (grids which are not part of the principal systems and are used to link generators or customers with the main grid) began in October 2005. This process will give rise to new tariffs in April 2007, and may have an adverse effect on Edelnor as owner of secondary transmission systems.

We are an electricity utility company primarily engaged, through our principal subsidiaries and related companies, in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. We are one of the largest private sector electricity companies in South America in terms of consolidated assets and operating revenues, with over 11.2 million customers, and the largest electricity company in Chile. Through Endesa Chile, we are one of the largest private sector electricity generation companies in South America in terms of installed capacity. We also have smaller operations in other non-electricity businesses. Endesa-Spain, Spain’s largest electricity generation and distribution company, acquired control of our company in April 1999 and owned 60.6% of our outstanding shares as of December 31, 2005.

 

For the nine years ended December 31, 2005, we have ranked as the largest private sector electricity company in Chile, measured by consolidated assets and consolidated operating revenues. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, our consolidated assets were Ch$ 10,253.6 billion and our consolidated operating revenues were Ch$ 3,215.8 billion.

 

We trace our origin to Compañía Chilena de Electricidad Ltda., or CCE, which was formed in 1921 as a result of the merger of Chilean Electric Tramway and Light Co., founded in 1889, and Compañía Nacional de Fuerza Eléctrica, with operations dating back to 1919. In 1970, the Chilean government nationalized CCE. In 1981, CCE’s operations were divided into one generation company, the current AES Gener S.A., and two distribution companies, one with a concession in Region V, the current Chilquinta S.A., and the other with a concession in the Santiago metropolitan region, Compañía Chilena Metropolitana de Distribución Eléctrica S.A. From 1982 to 1987, the Chilean electric utility sector went through a process of re-privatization. On August 1, 1988, Compañía Chilena Metropolitana de Distribución Eléctrica S.A. changed its name to ENERSIS S.A. and became the new parent company of Distribuidora Chilectra Metropolitana S.A., later renamed Chilectra S.A. In 1989, Río Maipo was spun off from Chilectra, and Río Maipo has since operated the electricity distribution concession in the more rural southern and western portions of the Santiago metropolitan region. Enersis sold Río Maipo on April 30, 2003. In the 1990s, we diversified into electricity generation and transmission through our increasing equity stakes in Endesa Chile. We began our international operations with the 1992 investment in Edesur, the Argentine electricity distribution company. We then expanded primarily into electricity generation, transmission and distribution businesses in four South American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. We remain focused on the electricity sector, although we also have small operations in other businesses.

 

We continually evaluate potential asset reorganizations with the purpose of optimizing operating, financing and tax considerations. We expect to undertake such transactions, with a focus on the reorganization of Enersis, Endesa Chile and our subsidiaries in Chile and Peru.

 

The goal of the Peruvian project is to achieve generation synergies through the merger of Edegel and Empresa de Generación Termoeléctrica Ventanilla S.A. (“Etevensa”), a 342 MW thermoelectric generation company 60%-owned by Endesa-Spain. On January 17, 2006, this project was approved by the shareholders of both companies. Following the merger, Endesa Chile will consolidate Etevensa through Edegel.

 

On May 24, 2005, Enersis’ Board of Directors approved the creation of the holding company, Endesa Brasil S.A. (“Endesa Brasil”) through which a reorganization was carried out of all generation, transmission and

 

22



 

distribution assets that Endesa Internacional, Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra held in Brazil, namely through Ampla, Endesa Fortaleza, Investluz, CIEN, Cachoeira Dourada and Coelce. This reorganization, completed in October 2005, simplifies the ownership structure of these assets in Brazil, creates greater stability for local cash flows, improves access to third-party financing and improves the Group’s position to attain new business opportunities and operating synergies. As of December 31, 2005, the direct and indirect ownership of Endesa Internacional, Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra in Endesa Brasil was 61.0%, 53.6%, 37.8% and 9.0%, respectively. As of October 2005, Enersis began consolidating Endesa Brasil. For more information, please see note 11 of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Regarding Chile, in order to simplify its organizational structure, diminish corporate costs, improve performance and optimize taxes, Enersis has decided to merge Elesur S.A. (“Elesur”) and Chilectra. Enersis is the parent company of Elesur, a privately owned company domiciled in Chile. As a consequence of this merger, Elesur would absorb Chilectra. This was approved by Enersis’ Board of Directors on October 6, 2005, and is subject to the approval of Elesur’s and Chilectra’s shareholders at their General Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, expected to take place on March 31, 2006.

 

Recent Developments

 

On September 5, 2005, Gas Natural SDG, S.A. (“Gas Natural”), a Spanish natural gas supplier, requested authorization from the Spanish Securities Market Commission (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, or “CNMV”) to tender for 100% of the share capital of Endesa-Spain, our parent company. As of the date of this report, the consideration offered to Endesa-Spain shareholders is € 7.34 in cash and 0.569 newly-issued Gas Natural shares for each Endesa-Spain share. The offer is conditional upon Gas Natural acquiring shares representing 75% of the share capital of Endesa-Spain. In addition, the offer is conditional on the modification by the Endesa-Spain shareholders of a number of Articles in its by-laws, including Article 32, which sets forth a limitation in respect of the maximum number of votes capable of being exercised by Endesa-Spain shareholders. On February 3, 2006, the Spanish Government’s Consejo de Ministros approved the potential economic concentration transaction arising from the tender offer subject to certain conditions.

 

On February 21, 2006, E.ON, the German multinational power and gas utility, announced a competing tender offer for 100% of the share capital of Endesa-Spain at a price of € 27.50 per share in cash. The offer is conditional on having E.ON acquire at least 529,481,934 shares of Endesa-Spain, representing 50.01% of our parent company’s share capital, and Endesa-Spain shareholder modifications to Articles 32, 37, 38, and 42 of the by-laws.

 

At the time of this report, we cannot predict if one of the tender offers above, possibly in some modified manner, will ultimately be successful, nor can we predict whether other potential parties will offer competing tender offers for the control of our parent company. Furthermore, we cannot forecast eventual credit ratings for any company that may prove successful in a tender offer over Endesa-Spain. We have outstanding credit facilities with “change of control” provisions which could result in some acceleration rights on such indebtedness. See “Item 3. — Key Information — D. Risk Factors.”

 

Capital Investment Program

 

We coordinate the overall financing strategy of our subsidiaries and intercompany advances to optimize debt management as well as the terms and conditions of our financing. Our operating subsidiaries independently develop capital expenditure plans financed by internally generated funds or direct financings. One of our aims is to focus on investments that will provide a long-term benefit, such as energy loss reduction projects. Additionally, by focusing on Enersis as a whole and seeking to provide services across the group of companies, we are aiming to reduce the level of investment necessary at the individual subsidiary level in items such as procurement, telecommunication and information systems.

 

For the period between 2006 and 2010, we expect to make capital expenditures of approximately Ch$ 2,353 billion in our majority-owned subsidiaries, including Endesa Chile. The table below sets forth the capital expenditures made by our subsidiaries between 2003 and 2005 and the expected capital expenditures for the period 2006-2010.

Electricity Generation and Transmission

 

The electricity generation and transmission businesses had total capital expenditures of Ch$ 59 billion in 2005. For the period between 2006 and 2010, we expects to make further capital expenditures of approximately Ch$ 812 billion in maintenance of existing operating plants and expand installed capacity.

 

In 2005, Endesa Chile began the construction of San Isidro II, a 377 MW thermal power plant, which will be located beside San Isidro I. The total investment is expected to be approximately Ch$ 115 billion.

 

In addition, Endesa Chile began the construction of Palmucho, a 32 MW hydroelectric plant located beside Ralco, which will take advantage of the flow that the Ralco plant must release under the conditions of Ralco’s Environmental Impact Assessment. Total investment is expected to be Ch$ 20 billion. The plant is scheduled to begin operating during the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

In August 2005, we began to evaluate the construction of the Ojos de Agua mini hydroelectric plant to be located some 100 kilometers from the city of Talca, in the valley of the River Cipreses, downstream from the La Invernada Lake. This small plant will have a capacity of 9 MW, and the investment is expected to be Ch$ 9 billion.

 

On November 16, 2005, Gestora del Proyecto GNL S.A. (“GNL Project”) was constituted, formed jointly by Endesa Chile, ENAP, Colbún, Metrogas and AESGener. The purpose of the GNL Project is to develop a liquefied natural gas industry in Chile. Endesa Chile has a 23.6% ownership of this new company.

 

Endesa Chile has begun on-site inspections and contacts with local communities and regional authorities for the development of the Aysén plants located in the 11th Region (southern zone) of Chile. These Aysén plants, involving a total installed capacity of 2,430 MW, would require an investment of around Ch$ 1.2 trillion.

 

Electricity Distribution

 

All of our distribution companies expect to fund capital expenditures through internally generated funds. In 2005, we incurred total capital expenditures of Ch$ 261 billion, principally to support demographic growth, new clients and the reduction of energy losses.

 

In 2005, Chilectra incurred capital expenditures of Ch$ 49 billion, which were principally to support demographic growth and new clients. Edesur incurred capital expenditures of Ch$ 29 billion, principally due to maintenance and expansion of existing facilities to support new clients, security and to improve quality. Codensa incurred capital expenditures of Ch$ 26 billion, principally to support demographic growth, new clients and security aspects. During 2005, Endesa Brasil’s distribution companies incurred capital expenditures of Ch$ 140 billion, including Ampla with capital expenditures of Ch$ 87 billion to expand existing facilities and reduce energy losses, and Coelce with capital expenditures of Ch$ 53 billion to support new clients, reduce energy losses and to satisfy regulatory requirements.

B.    Business overview.

 

Business Strategy

 

We believe that there is long-term potential for significant growth in per capita energy demand in South America, as well as for significant growth attributable to demographic trends, and we seek to take advantage of our know-how and market position as the leading private sector electricity company in the region to:

 

      enhance earnings through expansion of our unregulated client base;

 

      improve our operating margins by reducing the operating costs of our existing businesses; and

 

      take advantage of the continued demographic growth in the regions where we operate.

 

We believe that we have considerable expertise in managing utilities, including:

 

      reducing energy losses associated with distribution businesses over the long term;

 

      building and operating efficient generation facilities;

 

      implementing proprietary billing and accounts receivable management systems;

 

      increasing work force productivity while maintaining good labor relations;

 

      operating under a range of tariff and regulatory frameworks that reward efficient operations; and

 

      maximizing our return on actively managed subsidiaries

 

Electricity Generation

 

Our electricity generation business is conducted primarily through Endesa Chile, which has operating subsidiaries in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru. As of October 2005, the generation business in Brazil is managed through our newly created holding company, Endesa Brasil. Through Endesa Brasil, as of October 2005, Enersis began consolidating the generation company Endesa Fortaleza. As a whole, total installed capacity reached 12,765 MW as of December 31, 2005.

 

Our consolidated electricity production reached 54,076 GWh in 2005, 14.2% greater than the 47,366 GWh produced in 2004. In the electricity industry it is common to segment the business into hydroelectric and thermoelectric generation. This is done because each method of generation has different variable costs for generating electricity. Thermoelectric generation requires the purchase of fuel rather than the use of water from reservoirs or rivers, thereby increasing the variable costs of generation. Of our total consolidated generation, 77% was from hydroelectrical sources while the remaining 23% from thermal sources.

 

The following table summarizes the information relating to Enersis’ total electricity generation:

Endesa Chile’s main business is electricity generation and is the largest electricity company in Chile measured by installed capacity. It also participates in engineering services. The low proportion of non-generation revenues does not justify the breakdown of revenues per activity. We own 60% of Endesa Chile.

 

Operating income from our business in Chile represented 49.8%, 45.3%, and 48.8% for years 2003, 2004 and 2005 of Endesa Chile’s total operating income. Operating revenues and expenses for the three years are shown in the following table:

Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries Empresa Eléctrica Pehuenche S.A., or Pehuenche, Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A., or Pangue, Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A., or San Isidro, and Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A., or Celta, own and operate a total of twenty-two generation plants in Chile. Fourteen of these plants are hydroelectric, with a total installed capacity of approximately 3,416 MW. This represents 76% of our total installed capacity in Chile. The remaining eight plants are gas-, coal- or oil-fired thermal plants with a total installed capacity of approximately 1,061 MW. Our power plants are connected to the country’s major interconnected electricity systems, Sistema Interconectado Central, or the SIC, and Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande, or the SING, which together supply energy to over 98% of Chile’s population.

Endesa Chile’s thermal electric generation facilities are either gas-, coal- or oil-fired.  For our natural gas and transportation requirements, we enter into long-term gas contracts that establish maximum amounts and price of supply and long-term gas transportation agreements with the pipeline companies, Gas Andes and Electrogas.  We have a 42.5% interest in Electrogas.  We obtain our coal and fuel oil requirements through competitive bidding using major domestic and international suppliers.

 

During the second and third quarter of 2005, our thermal plants San Isidro and Taltal were affected by natural gas restrictions from Argentina.

 

San Isidro and Taltal, located in Chile’s central region, use natural gas for thermal generation and have gas contracts with Argentine suppliers.  The Argentine government adopted a resolution allowing governmental authorities to partially suspend natural gas exports and gave the President of Argentina the power to temporarily suspend the long-term supply contracts of Argentine exporters.

 

The low price imposed by Argentine regulators on natural gas in Argentina adversely affected production and investment in natural gas fields, which has in turn impacted the availability of this fuel in Chile, forcing San Isidro and Taltal and other electricity generation companies in Chile to use more expensive fuel oil.

 

This condition resulting from Argentine natural gas restrictions increased the production costs for both San Isidro and Taltal, and led to the signing of swap contracts between San Isidro and Endesa Chile’s subsidiary in Argentina, Endesa Costanera.  Considering the greater efficiency of generating in San Isidro’s power plant with natural gas rather than liquid fuel, San Isidro entered into an energy swap agreement in 2005 with Endesa Costanera.  This agreement allowed San Isidro to generate with natural gas at the cost of liquid fuel in Argentina.  In January 2006, both companies reached a new agreement in order to continue this swap operation.

 

In 2005, Taltal was affected by the reduction in the readiness of natural gas to only 50% of its required volume.  During the first quarter of 2005, Taltal was able to operate with diesel petroleum in addition to scarce natural gas.

 

Physical energy sales in Chile reached 18,681 GWh in 2003, 18,461 GWh in 2004 and 20,730 GWh in 2005 which represent a 44%, 40% and 44% market share, respectively.  Our physical generation in Chile has increased since 2003 and the percentage of the energy purchases to meet contractual obligations to third parties has declined from 13% in 2003 to 11% in 2005, as a consequence of our commercial strategy of reducing contracted sales.  This commercial strategy is strongly driven by our decision to reduce hydrological exposure as well as by government regulations implemented in 2000 and 2001.  We attempt to minimize the effect of poor hydrological conditions on

 

27



 

our operations, in any given year, primarily by limiting contractual commitments to an amount below the estimated production in a dry year.  Government regulations have had the direct effect of increasing contract failure costs, which is the cost that we pay when we are not able to satisfy our contractual commitments, and the indirect effect of discouraging investment in generation assets.  Given the effects of the government regulations, energy supply has not increased at the same rate as energy demand, increasing the spot price in the electricity pool market and making it a relatively more attractive commercial alternative.

Endesa Chile supplies electricity to the major regulated electricity distribution companies, large unregulated industrial firms (primarily in the mining, pulp and steel sectors) and the market pool.  Commercial relationships with customers are normally governed by formal contracts.  Supply contracts with distribution companies must be adjudicated in a bidding process, have a price fixed by governmental authorities, are generally standardized and have an average term of ten years.  Supply contracts with unregulated customers (large industrial customers) are specific to the needs of each client and all the conditions are agreed upon between both parties and reflect competitive market conditions.

 

In 2003, 2004 and 2005, Endesa Chile had 60, 56 and 53 customers in Chile respectively, including the main distribution companies of the SIC and the major unregulated industrial customers.  During 2003 and 2004 sales to unregulated customers represented 31% and 26%, respectively, of our total energy sales as opposed to 23% in 2005.

Endesa Chile’s most significant supply contracts with regulated customers are with Chilectra S.A. (“Chilectra”) and Compañía General de Electricidad S.A. (“CGE”), the two largest distribution companies in Chile.  Our contract with Chilectra expires in 2010 and our contract with CGE expires in 2009.  Upon expiration of each contract, a new bidding process will be conducted as required by the regulation.

Customarily, contracts with unregulated customers for the sale of electricity in Chile are long-term, generally ranging from five to fifteen years.  Such contracts are normally extended automatically at the end of the applicable term unless terminated by either party upon prior notice.  Such contracts generally provide that the purchase price be reset periodically following the market price and some of them include a price adjustment mechanism in the case of high marginal costs, which also reduces the hydrological risk.  Contracts with unregulated customers may also include specifications as to back-up power sources and equipment, which may be provided at special rates, as well as the provision of technical assistance to the customer.  Endesa Chile has not experienced any supply interruptions under our contracts.  However, Endesa Chile did negotiate short-term arrangements with certain customers to reduce supply requirements to them due to the effects of a severe drought in 1999.  In cases of force majeure, as contractually defined with non-regulated customers, we are also allowed to refuse purchases and are not required to supply electricity.  Contracts with unregulated customers generally do not impose any limitations on our ability to resell output not purchased under those contracts.  Disputes are typically subject to binding arbitration between the parties, subject to limited exceptions.

(1)   Even though Endesa Chile did not have a contract with Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A. (“Saesa”), Endesa Chile sold electricity to it due to a government resolution (RM88) that forces the generators of the CDEC-SIC system to supply distribution companies unable to get sufficient contracts to supply their customers.

 

(2)   In 2004 and 2005, Endesa Chile provided energy to both, Codelco, División El Teniente, and Codelco, División Salvador.  Codelco is one of the world’s largest copper producers.

 

(3)   Industrias Forestales S.A. (“Inforsa”) is part of the CMPC Group, the largest Chilean pulp and paper manufacturer.

Endesa Chile competes in the SIC primarily with two other electricity generation companies, AES Gener S.A. (“AESGener”) and Colbún S.A. (“Colbún”).  According to the maximum power considered by CDEC-SIC in the calculation of “firm power” in 2005, AESGener and subsidiaries in the SIC had an installed capacity of 1467 MW, of which 80% was thermal electric, and Colbún had an installed capacity of 1,819 MW, of which 59% was thermal electric.  In addition to these two large competitors, there are a number of smaller entities that generate electricity in the SIC.

 

Endesa Chile’s main competitors in the SING are Electroandina, Empresa Eléctrica del Norte Grande S.A. (“Edelnor”), AESGener and Norgener S.A., which have 992, 719, 643 and 277 MW of installed capacity, respectively, and significantly larger operations than our direct operations in the SING, 182 MW through Tarapacá, Celta’s thermal power plant.  However, by including our indirect participation in the SING through our unconsolidated company, GasAtacama, whose power plant has 781 MW of installed capacity, our market position increases significantly to 26.8%.  See “Item 4. Information on the Company — C. Organizational Structure” for details on related companies.

 

Electricity generation companies compete largely on the basis of technical experience and reliability and, in the case of unregulated customers, on price.  In addition, as 76% of our installed capacity derives from hydroelectric power plants, we generally have lower production costs than companies generating electricity in the SIC from thermal plants.  During periods of extended droughts, however, we may be forced to buy more expensive electricity from thermoelectric generators at spot prices in order to satisfy our contractual obligations.

 

Our main sources of non-operating income are (i) our GasAtacama business, which has the ability to transport up to 8.5 million cubic meters of gas daily and has a gas-fired combined cycle plant with a total installed capacity of approximately 781 MW in Mejillones, and (ii) our 42.5% ownership interest in Electrogas, which produces transportation income derived from the pipeline supplying San Isidro and Nehuenco combined-cycle plants at Quillota.  See “Item 4. Information on the Company — C. Organizational Structure” for details on related companies.

 

Operations in Argentina

 

Our generation operations in Argentina are consolidated through Endesa Chile.  Operating income from Argentina represented 12.1%, 14.4%, and 14.0% for years 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, of Endesa Chile’s total operating income.  Operating revenues and expenses for these three years are shown in the following table:

Endesa Chile participates in electricity generation in Argentina through its subsidiaries Endesa Costanera and El Chocón, with a total of 5 power plants, two of which are hydroelectric plants, with total installed capacity of 1,320 MW, and three of which are thermal plants, with a total installed capacity of 2,304 MW.  In 2005, Endesa Chile’s hydro and thermal generation plants in Argentina represented 16% of the MEM’s generation capacity, in accordance with the Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico S.A., or CAMMESA.

 

Endesa Chile also participates in the transmission and trading of electricity in Argentina through its related companies, Compañía de Transmisión del Mercosur S.A. (“CTM”), which owns the Argentine side of a transmission interconnection line with Brazil, and CEMSA, a trading company that has signed contracts with generators in

 

30



 

Argentina to export electricity from Argentina to Brazil and Uruguay.  Through September 30, 2005, Endesa Chile owned a 45% share in both CTM and CEMSA through its affiliates, CIEN and Endesa Argentina S.A., respectively.  As of October 1, 2005, Endesa Chile’s ownership share in CIEN and CTM was contributed to Endesa Brasil, leading Endesa Chile’s indirect share in both companies to a 37.85%.  Endesa Chile’s share in CEMSA has not been modified.  See “Item 4. Information on the Company — C. Organizational Structure” for details on associated companies.  As of December 13, 2005, Endesa Chile’s Argentine subsidiaries Endesa Costanera and El Chocón participate in two new companies, “Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A.” and “Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A.”, created to undertake the construction of new generation facilities in connection with FONINVEMEM. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Generation in Argentina”; see also “—Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework” for further detail.  El Chocón has a 15.4% direct share in each of these new companies and Endesa Costanera has a 5.5% direct share of each new company.

 

Endesa Costanera’s installed capacity is thermal and accounted for approximately 10% of the total installed capacity in the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the “Argentine MEM”), Argentina’s major interconnected grid system, as of December 31, 2005.  Endesa Costanera’s combined cycle II 851 MW plant is the largest combined cycle in Argentina that can operate with natural gas and diesel.  Its 1,131 MW steam turbine power plant can operate with either natural gas or fuel oil.

 

El Chocón is currently the second largest private hydroelectric facility in Argentina, accounting for approximately 6% of the installed capacity in the Argentine SIN as of December 31, 2005.  El Chocón has a 30-year concession for two hydroelectric generation facilities with an aggregate of 1,320 MW of installed capacity.  The larger of the two facilities for which El Chocón has a concession has 1,200 MW of installed capacity and is the primary flood control installation on the Limay River.  The facility’s large reservoir, Ezequiel Ramos Mejía, enables El Chocón to be one of the Argentine SIN’s major peak suppliers.  Variations in El Chocón’s discharge are moderated by El Chocón’s Arroyito facility, a downstream dam with 120 MW of installed capacity.

(1)   Energy production plus energy purchases differs from electricity sales in 2005 due to 61 GWh of energy not billed in that year, given that own power plant consumption and technical losses have already been deducted.

 

Endesa Chile’s market share in terms of physical sales was 12% in 2003 and increased to 14% in both 2004 and 2005.  Contracted sales in 2005 represented 14% of total physical sales and pool market sales accounted for the remaining 86%.  The increase in contracted sales in 2005 compared to contracted sales in 2004 responds to the increase in sales to unregulated customers, considering the operating conditions of the Wholesale Electricity Market (“WEM”).

 

Endesa Costanera’s physical sales reached 8,466 GWh in 2005, compared to 7,973 GWh in 2004 and 4,583 GWh in 2003.  The increase in 2005 reflects the increase in Endesa Costanera’s generation.  Endesa Costanera’s ability to operate with either natural gas or liquid fuel oil in addition to a strong and growing electricity demand and the lack of investment in both natural gas and electricity generation facilities, has explained the company’s increased generation.  Due to the lack of investment in the electric power sector arising from a governmental policy that does not allow for realistic increases in electricity prices, the Secretary of Energy, through Resolution No. 712/2004, created a fund (“FONINVEMEM”) to allow for the financing and management of all investment aimed at increasing the electric power supply within the Wholesale Energy Market (WEM).  See below “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework” for further detail.

 

Until August 2005, Endesa Costanera had gas supply long-term contracts, but these are currently not in effect due to Resolution No. 752/05 prohibiting gas distribution companies from selling to large consumers including electricity generation companies which should purchase directly from natural gas producers.  Since September 1, 2005 Endesa Costanera has been renewing its contracts on a monthly basis.  This situation is expected to be solved

 

32



 

in the short term, allowing the purchase of gas with a medium term horizon.  The liquid fuel supply is carried out in the spot market under competitive conditions.

 

In 2005 the Argentina-Brazil Interconnection line was dispatched with 525 GWh of electricity.  The energy sold by Endesa Costanera for the Interconnection was 289 GWh.  From February 2002 until February 2005 the line was not dispatched given the conditions of electricity supply in the Brazilian market during that period.  Because of the scarcity of electricity in Argentina, governmental authorities have operated the electricity industry under special conditions; that is, since 2002 they have limited the spot price of electricity to the variable cost of generating electricity with natural gas, without considering the hydrological conditions of rivers and reservoirs or the use of more expensive liquid oil.  The authorities have also limited the access to the electricity spot market and the use of natural gas to export energy to Brazil, which affected the normal operations of the export contracts.  Endesa Costanera was not able to fully comply with its export contracts to Brazil.  On December 9, 2005, the Argentine and Brazilian governments signed an agreement to facilitate the operation of export contracts without the imposition of fines for any non-compliance, through a transitional period ending December 31, 2008.  By that time, the assumption is that the full Argentine electricity supply should be reestablished.  At the time of this report, Endesa Costanera, CEMSA and the companies in Brazil are, based on the previously mentioned agreement, working on restructuring the electricity export contracts.

 

Physical sales of El Chocón were 4,113 GWh in 2005, 3,630 GWh in 2004, and 4,676 GWh in 2003.  The relatively rainy conditions in 2005 explain the 13% increase of physical sales compared to 2004.  Contracted sales increased from 989 GWh in 2004 to 1,145 GWh in 2005.  Contracted sales to the mining firm Minera Alumbrera represented 42% of total contracted sales in 2005, Profertil represented 20%, MASSUH 11%, Petroken 3% and other contracted sales represented 24%.  The remaining 2,968 GWh in sales were delivered to the pool market.

Endesa Chile operates El Chocón for a fee pursuant to an operating agreement with a term equal to the duration of the concession (30 years beginning August 1993).  El Chocón does not have the right to terminate the operating agreement, except following the non-performance of our obligations.  Under the terms of the operating agreement, we are entitled to a fee payable in U.S. dollars based on El Chocón’s annual gross revenues, payable in monthly installments.

 

Our Argentine power plants compete with all the major power plants connected to the SIN.  Our major power plant competitors in Argentina include Piedra del Aguila (hydro capacity 1,400 MW) and Central Puerto (thermal capacity 2,152 MW) owned by Totalfina, the three plants owned by the AESGener, San Nicolás (thermal capacity 675 MW), Paraná (thermal capacity 845 MW) and Alicura (hydro capacity 1,040 MW) and Petrobras Energía S.A. which competes with us through two power plants, Genelba (thermal capacity 674 MW) and Pichi Picún Leufú (hydro capacity 285 MW).  Another significant power plant is TermoAndes (thermal capacity 600 MW) owned by AESGener but which is not connected to the SIN.

Operations in Brazil

 

As of October, 2005, Enersis consolidates its generation and distribution companies in Brazil through Endesa Brasil S.A.

 

In Brazil, we have an installed capacity as of December 2005 of 658 MW that corresponds to Cachoeira Dourada and 319 MW to Endesa Fortaleza.  As of December 31, 2005, Ampla also had various small generation facilities with total maximum installed capacity amounting to 62 MW.  However, as of December 31, 2005 a sales agreement for these facilities has been signed, thus we will not make reference to their operations in this section.

Operating income of Cachoeira Dourada reached Ch$ 23,405 million in 2005, Ch$ 8,576 million higher than in year 2004.  Favorable hydrology in the south-east-center region permitted the production of Cachoeira to increase by 10.5%, thus reducing its energy purchase needs.  Revenues increased by 18.9% as a result of higher physical sales, the tariff adjustment and higher average sales price.  The cost of sales in 2005 were reduced by 3.5% to Ch$ 25,946 million.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2005, Endesa Fortaleza had Ch$ 30,287 in operating revenues.  Enersis included Ch$ 15,363 million in operating income from Endesa Fortaleza for the fourth quarter of 2005.

Cachoeira Dourada has a long-term take-or-pay contract, which was executed in September 1997 when Endesa Chile acquired the concession of Cachoeira Dourada with Companhia Elétrica de Estado de Goiás S.A. (“CELG”), a regional state-owned distribution company.  The contract has a term of 15 years.  During the first five years, CELG purchased all of the contracted capacity of Cachoeira Dourada (415 MW).  That amount was reduced by 10% (42 MW) per year beginning in September of the sixth year.  The electricity generated monthly in excess of Cachoeira Dourada’s contractual commitment to CELG is sold to third parties, including the pool market.

 

Electricity demand in Brazil increased 3.9% during 2005, 5.0% during 2004 and 5.3% during 2003.

Endesa Fortaleza is fully owned by Endesa Brasil S.A., which in turn is owned (directly and indirectly) by Enersis, which holds a 53.6% interest.  Endesa Fortaleza owns a combined cycle generating plant, located 50 kilometers from the capital of the Brazilian state of Ceará, which began commercial operations in December 2003.

 

On January 28, 2004 the National Agency for Electric Energy (ANEEL) issued Resolution N° 40, which reduced firm capacity of the plants in the northeast, including Endesa Fortaleza, as a result of the problems with the supply of gas in the region.  On November 18, 2004, an agreement was signed by Endesa Fortaleza, other plants in the Thermo Electricity Priority Program (PPT) in the northeast and by Petrobrás, including the governmental entities ONS and CCEE.  This agreement re-established the original firm capacity for such plants.  This operating procedure was approved by ANEEL on December 24, 2004.

 

Endesa Fortaleza’s market share is 0.5% of the total installed capacity of the National Integrated System (SIN) and 3.2% of the thermoelectric generators.  This is a combined cycle plant that can utilize natural gas or fuel oil.

Endesa Chile controls two electricity generation companies in Colombia, Betania and Emgesa.  Endesa Chile has 100.0% ownership interest in Betania, and a 23.4% economic interest in Emgesa.  Betania is the operator of Emgesa, although it receives no compensation in return.

 

As of December 31, 2005 Endesa Chile’s Colombian subsidiaries, operated a total of eleven generation plants in Colombia, with a total installed capacity of 2,657 MW as of December 2005, of which 91.1% is hydroelectric.  Betania has one 541 MW hydroelectric facility located in Huila.  Emgesa had a total installed capacity of 2,116 MW as of December 31, 2005, 88.9% of which is hydroelectric.  Emgesa’s main facilities are located in the Cundinamarca region of Colombia.  In January, 2005, Emgesa added a new power plant along the Bogota River called La Junca, with an installed capacity of 19.5 MW.

 

Endesa Chile’s hydroelectric and thermal generation plants in Colombia represent approximately 20% of the country’s total electricity generation capacity, according to the official statistics at December 2005.

Approximately 91% of Endesa Chile’s total installed capacity in Colombia is hydroelectric.  As a result, our physical generation depends on the reservoir levels and yearly rainfalls.  Its electricity generation in Colombia reached 11,864 GWh in 2005 compared to 11,881 GWh in 2004 and 10,794 GWh in 2003.  Endesa Chile’s generation market share in Colombia in 2005 was approximately 24%.  In addition to hydrological conditions, the amount of generation depends on our commercial strategy.  Colombia’s electricity market is less regulated than the markets of the other countries in which we operate.  Companies are free to offer their electricity at prices driven by market conditions, as opposed to being forced by a centralized operating entity to generate according to the minimum marginal costs of the system.  Betania and Emgesa sold approximately 65% of their electricity under contracts in 2005, with the remainder sold in the spot market.

Hydrological conditions in 2005 translated into less generation for Emgesa due to reduced rainfall in its geographic area, resulting in a decrease in the level of physical energy sales when compared to 2004.  Considering that thermal generation is not significant, accounting for only 8.9% of our total installed capacity in Colombia at December 2005 and 2% of total generation in Colombia during 2005, maintaining long-term contracts with coal suppliers to assure coal supply is not critical and these contracts are therefore negotiated annually.  In 2005, hydroelectric generation comprised over 98% of our total generation in Colombia.

The sole interconnected electricity system in Colombia is the Colombian National Interconnected System, or the Colombian SIN.  Electricity demand in the Colombian SIN, increased by 3.8% during 2005.  The electricity consumption in the Colombian SIN was 45,711 GWh in 2003, 47,020 GWh in 2004 and 48,829 GWh in 2005.

 

The demand in Colombia’s electricity market has also been affected by the interconnection with the electricity system of Ecuador, which began operations in March 2003, referred to as International Transactions of Energy (“TIE”).  During 2005, physical sales to Ecuador reached 1,758 GWh.  Also in 2005 a physical connection between Ecuador and Peru was carried out, but there were no energy exchanges because the framework for operations are not yet completely defined.  Both interconnections with transmission lines represent a potential for greater competition, because generators in Ecuador may generate and export electricity to Colombia.  However, based on the level of

 

37



 

capacity and price levels in each country, it is more likely that Colombian generators will be exporting electricity to Ecuador.

 

During 2005, Emgesa served an average of 887 non-regulated customers and 13 distribution companies, and Betania served a total of eight distribution companies.  Our sales to the distribution company Codensa accounted for 40% of our total contract sales in 2005.  Physical sales to the six largest non-regulated customers altogether reached 4.3% of total contracted sales.

Hydrological generation represented 90.7% of Edegel’s total production in 2005.  The portion of electricity supplied by Edegel’s own generation was 94.8% of total physical sales, requiring only a small amount of purchases to satisfy contractual obligations to customers.

 

Santa Rosa’s TG7 unit was converted to natural gas in 2005.  For the supply of gas, Edegel signed a flexible gas contract with Camisea until year 2009 to a rate fixed in U.S. dollars and indexed according to a fuel basket.  Additionally, there were contracts for transport and distribution over the same period.

In Peru there is only one interconnected system, Sistema Electrico Interconectado Nacional, or the SEIN. Electricity generation in the SEIN increased 5.0% during 2005 when compared to 2004, reaching a total yearly generation of 23,001 GWh.  Increased demand in Peru is partially a consequence of larger electricity demand by the mining industry whose growth in electricity demand has been driven by increasing copper and gold production due to higher international prices for copper and gold.

 

Edegel’s physical sales in 2005 increased nearly 6.3% compared to sales in 2004.  Sales in the spot market decreased nearly 15%, while contracted sales increased 12% in 2005 compared to 2004.  The increase in contracted sales is mainly explained by greater sales to regulated distribution companies.  During 2005, Edegel’s regulated customers increased from two to eight as a consequence of the agreements reached between generation companies and the M.M.E. (Ministerio de Minas y Energía) to solve the situation of distribution companies without electricity supply contract.  Sales through these six new contracts represented 15% of the contracted sales in 2005.  The company maintains nine non-regulated customers, whose purchases represent 47% of Edegel’s total contract sales in 2005 compared to 53% in 2004.

Electricity Transmission

 

CIEN

 

Due to the reorganization of the Brazilian assets, as of October 2005, CIEN is fully owned by Endesa Brasil, which in turn is owned (direct and indirectly) by Enersis, which holds a 53.6% interest.  CIEN is consolidated by Enersis as of October 1, 2005.  CIEN, in turn, consolidates CTM and TESA, which operate the Argentine side of a transmission interconnection line with Brazil.

 

CIEN permits the energy integration of Mercosur and the import and export of electricity between Argentina and Brazil in either direction.  It has two 500 Kv transmission lines covering a distance of about 500 kilometers between Rincón in Argentina and the Santa Catarina substation in Brazil, and has a total capacity of 2,000 MW.

 

CIEN’s annual operating results as of December 31, 2005 amounted to Ch$ 33,163 million, reflecting a 45% decrease from year 2004.  The latter is basically explained by the reduction of physical sales by 14% due to the lack of electricity supply from Argentina to Brazil and due to lower average margins.  Enersis only included CIEN’s fourth quarter operating results in its income statement as of December 31, 2005.

 

The insufficient electricity available in Argentina did not allow Argentine generators to fully comply with export contracts to Brazil in 2005, and created conflicts for generators who export electricity to CEMSA and CIEN, our transmission companies, as well as conflicts between CIEN and its Brazilian clients.

 

CIEN has been unable to comply with its contractual obligations owed to its clients Furnas and Tractebel.  These two clients stopped partial payments to CIEN, and CIEN in turn stopped certain payments to Endesa Costanera.

 

On December 9, 2005, the Argentine and Brazilian governments signed an Memorandum of Understanding, which facilitates the operation of export contracts through a transitional period ending December 31, 2008. Under this Memorandum of Understanding, Endesa Costanera, CEMSA and CIEN are negotiating new conditions for Argentine export contracts which would include new prices and a volume adjustment. CIEN is also under negotiations with Brazilian regulators, as well as with Furnas and Tractebel.

 

Electricity Distribution

 

Our electricity distribution business has been conducted in Chile through Chilectra, in Argentina through Edesur, in Brazil through Ampla and Coelce (owned by Endesa Brasil), in Colombia through Codensa and in Peru through Edelnor.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, our principal subsidiaries and related companies sold approximately 55,247 GWh of electricity.  For more information on energy sales by our distribution subsidiaries for the past five fiscal years, see “Item 3. Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data.”  Currently, Chilectra is the technical operator of Edesur, Edelnor, Ampla and Coelce.

 

Chilectra

 

Chilectra is the largest electricity distribution company in Chile in terms of regulated clients, distribution assets and energy sales.  Chilectra had consolidated operating income of Ch$ 115.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005.  Our economic interest in Chilectra is 98.2%.  Chilectra operates in a concession area of 2,118 square kilometers.

 

Chilectra transmits and distributes electricity in 33 municipalities of the Santiago metropolitan region.  Chilectra’s service area is defined mainly as a high density area under the Chilean tariff regulations governing electricity distribution companies and includes all residential, commercial, industrial, governmental and toll customers, as well as Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A., among others.  The Santiago metropolitan region is Chile’s most densely populated area and has the highest concentration of industries, industrial parks and office facilities in Chile.  As of December 31, 2005, Chilectra served approximately 1.4 million customers.

 

Chilectra currently owns a 34% interest in Edesur and, as the operator of Edesur through 2007, receives management fees pursuant to the terms of an operating agreement between Chilectra and the stockholders of Edesur.

In November 2004, this agreement was amended to change the composition of Chilectra’s management fees.  Chilectra will receive fixed income of U.S.$ 50,000 per month, plus a variable fee, which will be calculated based on the number of effective hours in which Chilectra assisted Edesur.

 

As of December 31, 2005 Chilectra had an economic interest of 9.0% in Endesa Brasil.  Chilectra holds a 35.6% economic interest (direct and indirect) in Ampla and a 10.8% in Coelce through Investluz and Endesa Brasil.  Ampla and Coelce are described further below.

 

Chilectra also owns a 9.9% interest in Codensa in Colombia and a 15.6% interest in Edelnor in Peru.  Chilectra is the operator of Ampla, Coelce and Edelnor, although there are no operator fees associated with these arrangements.

 

Chilectra has significantly improved its operating efficiency by steadily reducing energy losses from both theft and technical factors from 22.4% in 1983, at the time of Chilectra’s privatization, to 5.5% as of December 31, 2005.  Chilectra has also implemented proprietary billing and accounts receivable management systems, increased labor productivity and improved information systems.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers, primarily public and municipal, represented approximately 27.6%, 24.1%, 25.8% and 22.5%, respectively, of Chilectra’s total energy sales of 11,851 GWh.  For the five-year period ended December 31, 2005, physical energy sales increased at a compounded annual rate of 5.5%.  For the year ended December 31, 2005, revenues from electricity sales were Ch$ 593.2 billion.

 

Edesur

 

Edesur is the second largest electricity distribution company in Argentina as measured by energy purchases.  Pursuant to an agreement entered into with Edesur, Chilectra is and will remain the technical operator of Edesur until 2007.  Our economic interest in Edesur is 65.1%.  Edesur operates in a concession area of 3,309 square kilometers.

 

Edesur distributes electricity in the south-central part of the greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area.  Edesur’s service area comprises the major business district of Buenos Aires and several residential areas of the southern part of Buenos Aires.  As of December 31, 2005, Edesur distributed electricity to 2.2 million customers.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers, primarily public and municipal, represented approximately 38.0%, 26.3%, 10.2% and 25.4%, respectively, of Edesur’s total energy sales of 14,018 GWh.  Edesur had energy losses of 11.4% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, compared to 11.8% in 2004.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Edesur’s physical energy sales increased by approximately 5.2%, to 14,018 GWh, compared to 13,322 GWh in 2004 and 12,656 GWh in 2003.  Energy sales at Edesur in 2002 included toll revenues received from other companies for the use of Edesur’s distribution network.

 

Ampla (through Endesa Brasil)

 

Ampla is the second largest electricity distribution company in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  As of December 31, 2005, we had a 69.6% interest in Ampla, which is lower than the interest held at December 31, 2004 due to the restructuring through Endesa Brasil.  Chilectra is Ampla’s technical operator but does not receive any fees for such role.

 

Ampla is engaged principally in the distribution of electricity to 66 municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro and serves 2.2 million customers in a concession area of 32,054 square kilometers, where an estimated 8.0 million people live.  As of December 31, 2005, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers represented approximately 37.7%, 18.3%, 11.8% and 32.3%, respectively, of Ampla’s total sales of 8,175 GWh. For the year ended December 31, 2005, revenues from electricity sales amounted to Ch$ 475.8 billion.  As of the same date, Ampla owned small power plants in the State of Rio de Janeiro with a total installed capacity of 62 MW, which in turn were sold pursuant to a sales agreement for these facilities.  As of December 31, 2005, Ampla’s energy losses were 22.4% compared to 22.8% in 2004.

Coelce (through Endesa Brasil)

 

We hold a 34.9% economic interest in Coelce, the sole electricity distributor in the State of Ceará, in northeastern Brazil, through a 59.4% interest in Investluz, which owns 56.6% of the capital stock of Coelce.  Our interests in Investluz and in Coelce are different than the interests held at December 31, 2004 due to the restructuring through Endesa Brasil.  We acquired our interest in Coelce in the second quarter of 1998.  Chilectra is Coelce’s technical operator but does not receive fees for such role.  As of December 31, 2005, Coelce served over 2.4 million customers within a concession area of 148,825 square kilometers.  During 2005, Coelce had annual sales of 6,580 GWh of energy, which represents a 7.1% increase compared to 2004; such sales represented Ch$ 336.4 billion.

 

Coelce has a relatively stable client base with residential clients representing approximately 31.5% of energy sold.  In 2005, Coelce bought 36.8% of its energy from Companhia Hidroelétrica do São Francisco, 34.4% from CGTF and 28.8% from other suppliers.

 

As of December 31, 2005, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers represented approximately 31.5%, 18.1%, 23.4% and 27.0%, respectively, of Coelce’s total energy sales.

 

As of December 31, 2005, Coelce’s energy losses were 14.0% compared to 13.9% in 2004.

 

Codensa

 

We hold a 21.7% economic interest in Codensa, an electricity distribution company that serves a region of approximately 14,087 square kilometers in Bogotá, and 96 other municipalities in the Department of Cundinamarca, Tolima and Boyacá.  More than 9.5 million people, or approximately 20.7% of the Colombian population, live in Codensa’s service area.  Codensa serves approximately 2.1 million customers in its service area.  Operating income was Ch$ 102.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005.  During 2005, Codensa’s annual sales reached 10,094 GWh, reflecting a 4.5% increase compared to 2004.  From these sales, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers represented approximately 36.3%, 14.1%, 5.7% and 43.9%, respectively.  Codensa purchased 41% of its energy in 2004 from Emgesa, a generating company controlled by Endesa Chile, and 59% from other suppliers.  Since 2001, Codensa only services regulated clients.  The unregulated market is serviced directly by our generation company, Emgesa, with the exception of the public lighting in Bogotá.

 

In 2005, Codensa had energy losses of 9.4% compared to 9.7% in 2004 and 10.2% in 2003.  We will continue implementing the same energy loss reduction measures that we have been applying in Chile, Argentina and Peru.

 

Edelnor

 

Edelnor is a Peruvian electricity distribution company that is 60% owned by Distrilima.  Chilectra is Edelnor’s operator but does not receive any fees for such role.  As of December 31, 2005, we owned an equity interest of 55.7% in Distrilima which represents a 33.4% interest in Edelnor.  Edelnor operates in a concession area of 2,440 square kilometers and its operating income was Ch$ 28.3 billion as of December 31, 2005.

 

Edelnor has an exclusive concession to distribute electricity in the northern part of the Lima metropolitan area, some provinces of the Lima department such as Huaral, Huaura and Barranca, and in the adjacent province of Callao.  As of December 31, 2005, Edelnor distributed electricity to approximately 925,000 customers, a 1.4% increase from December 31, 2004.

 

Edelnor had energy losses of 8.6% in 2005, compared to 8.4% in 2004.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Edelnor had total energy sales of 4,530 GWh.  The compounded annual growth rate in energy sales from 2001 to 2005 was 5.3% per annum.

Other Businesses

 

IMV

 

IMV, our wholly owned subsidiary, develops real estate projects in Chile.  Among other projects, IMV has a 55% interest in ENEA, a long-term project involving 2,594 acres near Santiago’s international airport.  The goal of this project is to create both industrial and residential lots.  The real estate business is not a core business of Enersis.

 

CAM

 

CAM is engaged in the electrical parts procurement business and is the entity in charge of giving continuity to our engineering and electrical service activities, both in Chile and abroad, and concentrates on managing large-scale services for public utility companies, especially in the electricity, telecommunications, gas and water distribution sectors.  The services provided by CAM include maintaining and calibrating electricity meters and other precision equipment, connecting electricity to final users, and constructing electrical facilities and distribution network connections.  The company is able to provide improved value in turnkey solutions with reduced transaction costs by integrating the procurement of materials as part of the services.

 

Synapsis

 

Synapsis, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enersis, is engaged in the computer services business.  Synapsis provides support services to our electric utility businesses, both in Chile and abroad, and also operates with unrelated third parties.  Synapsis is the main provider of information systems to Enersis and its subsidiaries and supplies services and equipment relating to computers and data processing.

 

Others

 

Endesa Chile’s non electricity Chilean businesses consist of operating a concession for a private tunnel, as well as engineering services.  Endesa Chile has decided to discontinue further expansion of its involvement in infrastructure projects.

 

Competition

 

In the electricity generation business, companies compete largely on the basis of technical experience and reliability and, in the case of unregulated customers, price.

 

Our Chilean subsidiary, Endesa Chile, competes in the SIC primarily with two other electricity generation companies, AESGener and Colbún S.A. (“Colbún”).  According to statistics published by autonomous generating industry groups, known as Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga (“CDEC”), as of December 31, 2004, in Chile Gener had an installed capacity of 1,498 MW, of which approximately 82% was thermal electric, and Colbún had an installed capacity of 1,651 MW, of which approximately 52% was thermal electric.  Colbún increased its capacity during 2004 with the steam turbine of Nehuenco II.  In addition to these two large competitors, there are a number of smaller entities that generate electricity in the SIC.  Endesa Chile believes that it has considerable competitive strength in the SIC due to its large diversified capacity, extensive geographic coverage, technical expertise, customer service and established commercial relationships.  In addition, 76% of Endesa Chile’s installed capacity is derived from hydroelectric power plants.  Endesa Chile generally has lower production costs than companies generating electricity in the SIC from thermal plants.  During periods of extended droughts, however, Endesa Chile is often forced to buy more expensive electricity from thermoelectric generators at spot prices in order to satisfy its contractual obligations.

 

Endesa Chile, through its subsidiary Celta, has one 182 MW thermal power plant connected to the SING, which represents approximately 5% of the total capacity of the SING.  Through its associate company GasAtacama Generación Limitada, Endesa Chile has an additional participation in the SING, with a total 26.8% of the SING’s total installed capacity in 2004.  The main generation companies operating in the SING are Electroandina (formerly Corporación Nacional del Cobre División Tocopilla), Empresa Eléctrica del Norte Grande S.A. (“Edelnor”), and Norgener S.A.

Also within our electricity generation business segment, our Argentine subsidiaries, Endesa Costanera and El Chocón, compete against other important operators in the Argentine market such as AESGener, Pluspetrol, PECOM Energia and TotalFinaElf.  Our Peruvian subsidiary, Edegel, competes within the Peruvian market against Electroperú, Egenor, Enersur, Eepsa and Etevensa.  Our Colombian subsidiaries, Betania and Emgesa compete against AESGener and Unión Fenosa within the Colombian market.  Finally, our Brazilian subsidiary, Cachoeira Dourada, competes against other important private operators in the Brazilian market, including Tractebel, AESGener, Duke and state-owned Electrobrás.

 

In the electricity distribution business segment, each one of our subsidiaries is a natural monopoly in its respective concession area.  There are natural, although not legal, barriers to entry since it is uneconomic for more than one distribution company to operate in the same concession area.  However, the long-term trend in many of our markets is toward increased competition through the incorporation, among other matters, of trading companies that compete with distribution companies for certain customers.  In addition, distribution companies are normally allowed to charge trading companies a toll for the use of their lines.  At the date of this annual report, the only such country where there is a trading market is Colombia.  At the same time, if such trading companies are allowed in other countries by future regulatory changes, we would expect to form such trading companies ourselves in order to compete effectively with our existing technical and commercial know-how.

 

Utility Business

 

Chile

 

In accordance with Chile’s regulatory framework for electricity distribution, more than one concession may be granted for the same territory.  However, barriers to entry are high because electricity distribution requires an extensive distribution network and significant capital outlays.  To date, the Ministry of Economy has not granted any significant overlapping concessions.  Nevertheless, the existing tariff system for distribution companies, which sets tariffs by applying efficiency guidelines to a selected actual company of similar size, the model company, has the inherent effect of creating competition between similar-sized electricity distribution companies to improve operating efficiency, reduce distribution energy losses and increase operating margins.

 

Electricity generation companies compete with each other to obtain long-term contracts with distribution companies, and they compete with each other and with distribution companies to provide service to unregulated (high-usage) customers.  All sales to regulated customers are subject to tariffs that fix the maximum prices that can be charged.

 

By law, distribution and transmission companies must permit the use of their lines and ancillary facilities for the transmission of electricity upon payment of a toll.  Unregulated customers have several electricity supply alternatives, including:

 

      installing their own lines directly from a generation company;

 

      arranging a supply contract with a generation company, which pays a toll to a transmission company and a distribution company;

 

      negotiating a contract with a distribution company; and

 

      generating their own electricity.

 

We are not aware of customers in our concession area that have installed their own lines from a generation company as of the date of this annual report.  We believe there is presently no significant self-generation or co-generation within Chilectra’s concession area.

 

Argentina

 

Our electricity distribution operations in Argentina are conducted through Edesur, which holds a concession from the Argentine government to transmit and distribute electricity in its territory.  The concession agreement precludes third parties from constructing distribution assets within Edesur’s territory.

 

45



 

Electricity transmission companies are required by law to provide generators, distributors and large users access to available transmission capacity upon payment of a toll.

 

Our electricity generation operations in Argentina are carried out by El Chocón and Endesa Costanera.  Generation companies compete with each other in the wholesale electricity market for sales to distribution companies and large users.  The prices received by electricity generation companies in the wholesale market are determined primarily by the marginal cost of supplying additional capacity on the system.

 

Brazil

 

As of December 31, 2005, our electricity distribution business in Brazil was conducted through Ampla and Coelce.  The concession agreements for Ampla and Coelce are non-exclusive for their respective territories.  Brazil’s electricity sector is mainly comprised of government-owned generation and transmission companies.  Currently, Brazil’s electricity generation needs are supplied primarily by approximately 70 companies.  Substantially all of the country’s generating capacity is controlled by either states or the federal government.

 

As a means to promote the integrated development of the electricity sector, Brazil was divided into four regions: the Southeast (including the State of Rio de Janeiro and Ampla’s concession area), the South, the North and the Northeast (including Coelce’s concession area).  Each of these regions is supplied primarily by a federally-owned generation company which is charged with promoting the development of electricity power generation and transmission in its region.  The main federal generating company for the Southeast region is Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A., or FURNAS.  Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras, or Eletrobrás, a company controlled by the Brazilian federal government, owns three of the four regional generating companies and is generally responsible for implementing policy with respect to the operation of the electricity sector as well as coordinating its planning, financing and operations together with the Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétricos, or ONS.  Our electricity generation in Brazil is conducted through Cachoeira Dourada, Endesa Fortaleza (CGTF or Central Geradora Termeletrica Endesa Fortaleza) and Companhia de Interconexao Energetica.  As of December 31, 2005, Ampla owned small electricity generation facilities with a total installed capacity of 62 MW; however, a sales agreement for these facilities has been signed as of the same date.

 

Colombia

 

Enersis conducts its Colombian electricity distribution business through Codensa, the second such company to be privatized in Colombia.  Since most of the other distribution companies are state owned, there is a very limited level of competition in the electricity distribution business.  On the other hand, the possibility of trading energy in Colombia makes that country’s electricity market quite competitive.

 

Our electricity generation business in Colombia is conducted through Betania, one of the first electricity generation facilities to be privatized in Colombia and through Emgesa.

 

Peru

 

Our electricity distribution business in Peru is conducted through Edelnor.  Edelnor’s concession agreement is exclusive for its territory.  As in Chile, the Peruvian regulatory authority sets tariffs for distribution companies by using the “model” company approach, which entails applying efficiency guidelines to a selected actual company of comparable size.  This approach to setting tariffs has the inherent effect of encouraging distribution companies to improve operating efficiency, reduce distribution losses and increase operating margins.

 

Our electricity generation business in Peru is conducted through Edegel, the largest privately-owned electricity generation company in the country.  Electricity generation companies compete with each other and with distribution companies to provide service to unregulated large users.  Edegel is located in the geographic area covered by the SICN electricity grid system, but competes with the generation companies in both the northern and southern electricity systems.  Competition for sales to unregulated customers may affect the tariff for regulated sales.  As is the case in Chile, distribution and transmission companies are required by law to permit the use of their lines and ancillary facilities for the transmission of electricity upon payment of a toll.

ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

 

Chile

 

Industry Structure

 

The electricity industry in Chile is divided into three sectors: generation, transmission and distribution.  The generation sector consists of companies that produce electricity.  They sell their production to distribution companies, unregulated customers and other generation companies through private contracts and through the spot market.  The transmission sector consists of companies that transmit at high voltage the electricity produced by generation companies.  The third sector consists of distribution companies that purchase electricity from generation companies for sale to their regulated and unregulated customers.  Distribution is defined for regulatory purposes to include all supply of electricity at a voltage up to and including 23 kV.

 

The electricity sector in Chile is regulated pursuant to DFL No. 1, as amended, which was first enacted in 1982, and the regulations under Decree No. 327 of 1998, as amended from time to time, collectively known as the Chilean Electricity Law.  Under the Chilean Electricity Law, the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity are supervised by the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles, or the SEF, and the Ministry of Economy acting through the Comisión Nacional de Energía, or NEC.  The Ministry of Economy grants concessions to generation companies for hydroelectric facilities and to transmission and distribution companies for networks.  The NEC calculates maximum prices for electricity sales to regulated end users.

 

Chile’s electricity industry is organized into separate interconnected electricity systems which facilitate the coordination of generation, transmission and distribution activities within a given geographic area.  The largest generation companies in Chile, including Endesa Chile, sell electricity through interconnected electricity systems.  In addition to the SIC and the SING, there are several other isolated and less significant systems, including systems in the Aysén and Magallanes regions of southern Chile that provide electricity in remote areas outside the interconnected electricity systems.  The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major interconnected electricity systems in Chile, the SIC and the SING, is coordinated by autonomous generating industry groups and transmission companies, the dispatch center, known as the Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga, or CDEC.  The SIC and the SING are intended to be efficient markets for the sale of electricity in which the lowest marginal cost producer is used to satisfy demand.  As a result, at any specific level of demand, the appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest possible cost of production available in the system.  In addition, certain major industrial companies own and operate generation systems to meet their own demand.

 

Chilean Electricity Law

 

General

 

The goal of the Chilean Electricity Law is to provide sufficient incentives toward maximizing efficiency and a simplified regulatory scheme and tariff-setting process which limits the discretionary role of the government through the establishment of objective criteria for setting prices.  The expected result is an economically efficient allocation of resources to and within the electricity sector.  The regulatory system is designed to provide a competitive rate of return on investments in order to stimulate private investment, while ensuring the availability of electricity service to all who request it.  We are subject to regulation of our prices and other aspects of our business in Chile under the Chilean Electricity Law.  Three governmental entities have primary responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of the Chilean Electricity Law.  The NEC calculates retail tariffs and wholesale, or node prices, which require the final approval of the Ministry of Economy, and prepares the indicative plan, a 10-year guide for the expansion strategy of the electricity system that must be consistent with the calculated node prices.  The SEF sets and enforces the technical standards of the system and the correct compliance of the law.  In addition, the Ministry of Economy grants final approval of tariffs and node prices set by the NEC and regulates the granting of concessions to electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies.

 

Pursuant to the Chilean Electricity Law, companies engaged in the generation of electricity in Chile must coordinate their operations through the CDECs to minimize the operating costs of the electricity system and monitor the quality of service provided by the generation and transmission companies.  Generation companies meet their contractual sales requirements with dispatched electricity, whether produced by them or purchased from other

 

47



 

generation companies in the spot market.  The principal purpose of a CDEC in operating the dispatch system is to ensure that only the most efficiently produced electricity is dispatched to customers.  However, the CDEC also seeks to ensure that every generation company has enough installed capacity and can produce enough electricity to meet the demand of its customers.  Because Endesa Chile’s production in the SIC is primarily hydroelectric, and therefore its marginal cost of production is generally the lowest in that interconnected system, its electricity capacity in the SIC is generally dispatched under normal or abundant hydrological conditions.  Generation companies balance their contractual obligations with their dispatch by buying electricity at the spot market price, which is set hourly by the CDECs, based on the marginal cost of production of the next kWh to be dispatched.  This is known as the spot marginal cost.

 

Sales by Generation Companies

 

Sales may be made pursuant to short- or long-term contracts or, in the case of sales to other generation companies, on a spot basis.  Generation companies may also be engaged in contracted sales among each other at negotiated prices.  Generation companies are free to determine whether and with whom to contract, the duration of the contracts and the amount of electricity to be sold.

 

Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers

 

Under the Chilean Electricity Law and regulations thereunder, current sales to distribution companies for resale to regulated customers are made through contracts with regulated prices (“node prices”) in effect at the relevant locations (nodes) on the interconnected system through which such electricity is supplied.  Since the enactment of “Short Law II” in 2005, all new contracts between generation companies and distribution companies, for the supply of regulated customers must be the result of international auctions which have a maximum regulated offer price equal to the node price increased by 20%. If a first auction is declared not successful, authorities may increase this maximum price by an additional 15%. Currently, distribution companies are preparing the first auctions for the supply of their regulated customers.  Until March 2006, two years after approval of the “Short Law I,” regulated customers are those with a maximum consumption capacity not in excess of 2 MW.  After March 2006, those clients with maximum consumption capacity between 0.5 MW and 2 MW will be able to choose their status as a regulated or unregulated customer.  Two node prices are paid by distribution companies under the current contracts: node prices for capacity and node prices for energy consumption.  Node prices for capacity are determined by making a calculation of the marginal cost of increasing the existing capacity of the electricity system with the least expensive generating facility.  Node prices for energy consumption are calculated based on the projected short-term marginal cost of satisfying the demand for energy at a given point in the interconnected system, during the succeeding 48 months in the SIC and during the succeeding 24 months in the SING.  The determination of such marginal cost in the SIC takes into account the principal variables in the cost of energy over the 10-year period, including projected growth in demand, reservoir levels (which are important in determining the availability and price of hydroelectricity), fuel costs for thermal electricity generation facilities, planned maintenance schedules and other factors that would affect the availability of existing generation capacity and scheduled additions to generation capacity during the 10-year Indicative Electricity Development Plan.  The same general principles are used to determine marginal cost in the SING.

 

Node prices for capacity and energy consumption are established every six months, in April and October, by a decree issued by the Ministry of Economy.  Although node prices are quoted in Chilean pesos, the calculations used to determine node prices are mainly effected in U.S. dollars.  Node prices so established become effective in May and November.  Node prices are adjusted during a six-month period only if changes in the underlying variables in the formula used to project a node price then in effect would result in a variation in excess of 10% with respect to the initially calculated price.  Distribution companies are required to pay generation companies for each month’s electricity purchases on the 21st day of the following month, at the applicable node prices in effect at the time.

 

The Chilean Electricity Law provides that if a generation company sells directly to a regulated customer outside the concession area of a distribution company, then the generation company must apply the same price as the nearest distribution company would be required to apply.

 

48



 

Sales to Other Generation Companies

 

To accomplish its objective of operating the dispatch system to ensure that only the most efficiently produced electricity reaches customers, each CDEC annually determines “Firm Capacity.”

 

Firm Capacity is the total probable capacity of all generating units in an interconnected system at any point in time, calculated using historical data, statistical analyses and certain assumptions regarding hydrology.  Each CDEC compares Firm Capacity to the maximum anticipated peak demand for capacity at peak hours on the system.  The amount by which the system-wide probable capacity exceeds the maximum anticipated demand at peak hours is prorated for each generating unit in the system based on the installed capacity of such unit.  Installed capacity of each unit is reduced by such pro rata amount to determine “Allocated Firm Capacity.”  If the Allocated Firm Capacity of any generation company exceeds its peak hour contracted commitments to customers, such generation company will be paid for its excess Allocated Firm Capacity by generation companies with peak hour commitments to customers in excess of their Allocated Firm Capacity, based on the prevailing node price for capacity.

 

A generation company may be required to purchase or sell energy or capacity in the spot market at any time, depending upon its contractual requirements in relation to the amount of electricity to be dispatched from such company.  Purchases and sales made in the spot market are transacted at the spot marginal cost of the interconnected system in which the companies are located, which is the marginal cost of the next kWh to be dispatched.  Generation companies making sales in the spot market are paid for each month’s sales on the 22nd day of the following month at the spot marginal cost in effect at the time of sale.

 

Transmission

 

To the extent that a company’s transmission assets were built pursuant to concessions granted by the Chilean government, the Chilean Electricity Law requires such company to operate the covered transmission system on an “open access” basis in which users may obtain access to the system by contributing towards the costs of operating, maintaining and, if necessary, expanding the system.  Transmission companies recover their investment in transmission assets through tolls, or “wheeling rates”, which are charged to generation companies and final customers according to the following proportion defined by law: 80% to generators and 20% to customers in the central part of the network (the “Common Influence Area”, initially located between both nodes that includes at least 75% of the system’s energy injection and demand) and in the rest of the transmission system, 100% to either generators or customers, according to the direction of the power flows.  According to the “Short Law I” the transmission companies become public service companies and their tariffs are determined every 4 years by Decree of the Ministerio de Economía, Fomento y Reconstrucción.

 

Sub-transmission

 

A new tariff setting process for all sub-transmission systems in Chile began in 2005 and will conclude by the end of 2006.  The tariff setting process will affect Chilectra’s high voltage grid, which connects its distribution network with the main transmission system of the SIC.  Up to now, this grid was remunerated by non-regulated distance charges; the new tariff setting process will be based on an adjusted economic model and will regulate the related prices.  The latter is expected to be applied starting November 2006 and we are uncertain of the effect on the company’s business.

 

Sales to Unregulated Customers

 

The Electricity Law distinguishes between regulated and unregulated prices for electricity supply.  Electricity supply prices are unregulated for:

 

      final customers with a connected capacity greater than 2MW, commonly known as large customers;

 

      temporary customers; and

 

      customers with special quality requirements.

 

49



 

From March 2006, final customers with a connected capacity between 0.5 MW and 2 MW may voluntarily decide to leave their status as regulated customers by informing the distribution company 12 months in advance.  However, these customers must remain at their chosen status for the next four years.

 

Customers not subject to regulated prices, commonly known as unregulated customers, may negotiate prices freely with distribution and/or generation companies.  All other customers are subject to the maximum prices established by the tariffs.

 

Distribution Tariff to Final Customers

 

The tariff charged by distribution companies to their final customers is determined by the sum of the cost of electricity purchased by the distribution company (the node prices for capacity and energy consumption at the point of purchase from the generation company), a transmission charge and sub-transmission surcharge, and the value added by the distribution network, or the VAD.  The price for both generation and distribution capacity sold to customers includes a factor which reflects the simultaneous contribution of each customer to peak capacity demand of the system as a whole.  The transmission charge reflects the cost paid to transmission companies and sub-transmission surcharge reflects the cost of transmitting and transforming electricity from a node on the interconnected system to a substation at the distribution level.  The VAD includes an allowed return on investment.

 

VAD Tariff

 

The Chilean tariff system allows distribution companies to recover the operating costs, including allowed losses, and a return on investment, of a “model company”.  Recovery is primarily made through capacity charges and, in the case relating to the lowest voltage tariff rate (“BT-1”), through sales of energy.  The BT-1 tariff rate is designed for customers with connected capacity not greater than 10 kW for whom capacity usage is not metered.  This tariff only measures energy consumed and the capacity usage by such customers is determined based on energy (kWh) used.  The distribution costs associated with all other customers are recovered through either measured or contracted capacity (kW) sales.

 

The VAD, which is based on a “model company,” includes the following costs: selling, general and administrative costs of distribution; maintenance and operating costs of distribution assets; cost of energy and energy losses; and an expected return on investment, before taxes, of 10% per annum in real terms based on the new replacement cost of assets employed in distribution.  The new replacement cost of assets includes the cost of renewing all the facilities and physical assets used to provide the distribution services, including interest expense, intangible assets and working capital.

 

Distribution Tariff-Setting Process

 

The distribution tariffs are set every four years.  During the tariff-setting process, the NEC classifies companies into groups, hereinafter referred to as the Typical Distribution Areas or TDAs, based on economic factors that classify like-companies with similar distribution costs.

 

By applying efficiency guidelines established by the NEC to a selected actual company, the NEC chooses a “model company” for the purpose of setting a tariff.  The tariff is not based on actual costs incurred by any given distribution company, but on investment, operating, maintenance and general administrative standards and overall efficiency of operations of the model company, which is used as a benchmark.

 

A given distribution company’s actual return on investment is dependent on its performance relative to the standards chosen by the NEC for the model company.  The tariff system allows for a greater return to distribution companies that are more efficient than the model company.  For the four-year period beginning November 2004, Chilectra was the only company classified in the high-density TDA, and CGE was chosen for the medium-density TDA.  Tariff studies are performed both by the NEC and by the distribution companies.  Each party typically retains specialized consultants to perform a parallel tariff study.  The tariffs are calculated as a weighted average of the results of the NEC-commissioned study and the companies’ study, with the results of the NEC’s study bearing twice the weight of the companies’ results.  Preliminary tariffs are tested to ensure that they provide an average real annual internal rate of return between 6% and 14% on the replacement cost of assets for the entire distribution industry.

The distribution tariffs are enacted by the Ministry of Economy and are valid for four years, unless:

 

      the cumulative variation in the consumer price index exceeds 100% within the four-year period; or

 

      the annual internal real rate of return for the electricity distribution industry as a whole falls below 5%, or increases above 15%.

 

In addition, the tariff formulas can be modified before their expiration date by agreement between all of the companies and the NEC.  As required by the Chilean Electricity Law, distribution tariffs have been reset every four years, starting in 1984.  The last tariff setting process finished in 2004 (issued in February 2005 with Decree No. 276), resulting in a 4.5% tariff reduction for Chilectra.  Tariff formulas allow monthly indexing based on variations in node prices and distribution costs, including the consumer price index, the wholesale price index for domestic goods, copper prices, currency exchange rates and import duties.  The indexed tariffs are the maximum prices that distribution companies may charge regulated customers for supplying electricity.

 

Concessions

 

In certain cases, the Chilean Electricity Law permits the generation and transmission of electricity without the need to obtain a concession from the Chilean government.  However, companies may apply for a concession from the Chilean government, particularly to facilitate the use of and access to third-party properties.  Third-party property owners are entitled to compensation, which may be agreed to by the parties or, absent agreement, determined by an administrative proceeding that may be appealed to the Chilean courts.

 

Concessions for the operation of distribution networks are granted by the Ministry of Economy pursuant to the Chilean Electricity Law.  Concessions are non-exclusive and of indefinite duration but may be revoked by the President of Chile if certain quality and safety standards are not met.  In such case, the distribution company’s assets will be liquidated in a public auction.  The net proceeds from such auction will be paid to the concession holder after all associated expenses are reimbursed.  Government approval is required for the transfer of concessions and for the territorial expansion of a concession.  The concession holder has the right to use public rights-of-way to install overhead and underground lines for the distribution of electricity within its territory.

 

Distribution companies are required to provide service within their concession area at applicable tariffs, and may provide service to customers outside the concession area connected to the distribution facilities through their own lines or lines of third parties at applicable tariffs.  The Chilean Electricity Law permits a distribution company to demand that a customer finance the capital investment required to extend the transmission and distribution facilities necessary to provide service.  Such law requires that customer financing be repaid by the distribution company, but gives the distribution company the discretion to determine the form of repayment over a period not to exceed 15 years.  Repayment may be made by delivery of promissory notes, electricity, common shares or other form of consideration agreed to by both parties.

 

Changes to Electricity Law, Potential Fines, Compensations and Regulatory Payments

 

Chilean Congress amended the Chilean Electricity Law, effective as of June 8, 2000, placing severe penalties on deficit generation companies in the event of prolonged periods of electricity shortages.  Electricity rationing may be enforced by the enactment of a rationing decree which is subject to the prior approval by the NEC and the Ministry of Economy.  Such approval is contingent upon the severity of the prevailing conditions causing the electricity shortage.

 

The Chilean Electricity Law, as amended, no longer exempts deficit generation companies from fines if power shortages are due to severe drought and states that such weather conditions will no longer be considered a force majeure event.  In addition, the Chilean Electricity Law, as amended, requires that generation companies compensate consumers during periods of rationing as compared to the law prior to amendment, which only compensated surplus generators but did not penalize deficit generators during power shortages.  Companies penalized under the legislation will have the right to appeal but only after they have made a prepayment equal to 25% of the fine.

 

51



 

Under the Chilean Electricity Law, as currently in effect, we may be required to pay fines to the regulatory authorities, make compensatory payments to electricity consumers affected by the shortage of electricity and make payments to generation companies from whom we are forced to purchase electricity in order to meet contractual commitments.  These types of penalties or payments are described below.

 

      Fines.  The fines, that could apply to any electricity company supervised by the NEC and the SEF, including generation, transmission and distribution companies, range from the equivalent of approximately U.S.$ 62 to a maximum of the equivalent of approximately U.S.$ 7.4 million.  Companies penalized under the legislation will have the right to appeal but only after they have made a prepayment equal to 25% of the fine.

 

      Compensatory payments by generation companies.  If the Ministry of Economy issues a rationing decree, generation companies may be required to reimburse distribution customers on a pro rata basis for credits given to final consumers in an amount equal to the product of: (i) the difference between the rationed end-consumer price specified in the rationing decree and the applicable node price, and (ii) the difference between the consumer’s actual energy consumption during the rationing period (taking into account only the hours of effective interruptions of service) and during the same period in the prior year, with certain adjustments.

 

      Failure cost.  Chile’s Electricity Law calls for a “failure cost” to be imposed on generation companies that cannot meet their contractual commitments to deliver electricity during periods when a rationing decree is in effect.  If there is no energy available to purchase in the system, the generation company must pay compensation to the customer.

 

      Compensatory payments by distribution companies.  Distribution companies may be required to compensate final customers if there are shortages of electricity that exceed the authorized standards.  These compensatory payments shall be at an amount equal to double the non-supplied energy at failure cost.

 

On March 21, 2001, the Chilean Antitrust Commission issued Resolution No. 525, which established a list of 25 services related to the supply of electricity, such as the lease of meters that should be regulated.  In June 2005, the National Commission of Energy issued the Final Technical Report setting tariff reductions for such related services.  Chilectra and the main electricity distribution companies appealed this resolution to the Commission of Experts, the judicial authorities and the Contraloría General de la República.  This last entity declared in January 2006 that the tariffication process had been illegal and therefore the new tariffs for associated services shall be set during the VAD tarification process of 2008. On May 30, 2001, the Ministry of Economy issued Resolution No. 88, which stated that generation companies are required to supply electricity to SAESA, a distribution company which was not able to renew its electricity supply contracts.  Such resolution also stated that the electricity supply shall be provided at the node price and on a pro rata basis, considering the firm capacity of each generation company.

 

The “Short Law I”

 

In March 2004, Chilean Congress enacted Law No. 19,940, (“Short Law I”).  This law established a new framework for electricity companies, which allows us to better evaluate new investment opportunities.  The principal changes implemented by the Short Law I include:

 

      a new methodology concerning compensation to, and expansion of, transmission systems, reducing generators’ transmission costs by transferring part of the cost to final customers;

 

      regulation on the subject of ancillary services (including frequency regulation, among others);

 

      reduction of the regulated node price band with respect to the unregulated customer contract price from 10% to 5%, later modified by Short Law II;

 

      regulation of the distribution toll (wheeling rate), requiring electricity distributors to provide service to third parties;

 

52



 

      a change in the definition of unregulated customer, reducing power capacity needs from 2 MW to 0.5 MW, starting two years after the law was declared effective.  The newly eligible customers will be given the option to decide whether to remain as regulated or to change their status to unregulated;

 

      a permanent Commission of Experts will be established to resolve discrepancies that arise in each of the tariff and toll setting processes.

 

The “Short Law II”

 

On May 19, 2005, the Chilean Congress approved a new modification to the Electricity Law, through the Law No. 20,018, (“Short Law II”).  Of the modification that were introduced, the following are the most relevant for us:

 

      the flexibility of the node price band that relates theoretical node prices to non-regulated customer prices: under the regulation approved by Short Law I, the node prices could only be 5% above or below the non-regulated prices, despite the fact that theoretical prices could be significantly different.  Under the amendment, if the difference between the average contracted market price (which included the price of long term contracts with distribution companies) and the theoretical price is lower than 30%, the regulated price will be equal to the average contract market price +/-5%.  If the difference is greater than 80%, the regulated price will be equal to the average contract market price +/- 30%.  If the difference is between 30% and 80%, the adjustment will be calculated according to an equation leading to a node price within 5% and 30% of the average contracted market price;

 

      the obligation for the distribution companies to permanently cover future electricity requirements of their regulated clients for the following three years beginning in 2009;

 

      the approval of long-term contracts at fixed prices between distribution companies and generation companies for the regulated market: distribution companies must launch bidding processes for contracting electricity for up to 15 years, and are allowed to buy at prices which may increase by up to 20% above the prevailing node prices; in case of unsuccessful auctions, prices may increase by an additional 15%;

 

      the elimination of the treatment of natural gas scarcity as a force majeure event; and

 

      the approval of a process that allows distribution companies without long-term electricity supply contracts to buy electricity at spot marginal costs, for a period which ends in December 2008 (Congress may extend this period by one more year).

 

The approval of these laws has been interpreted in a positive way by our generation subsidiaries because they pave the way for potentially undertaking long-term investments.

 

Distribution tolls

 

In May 2005, the Ministry of Economy issued Decree No. 99, setting distribution tolls for the next four years, equal to VAD calculated in each distribution tarification process.  The methodology applied prevents the possibility of discrimination, since the unregulated customer pays the same amount for the toll of the distribution facilities as a regulated customer.

 

Sub-transmission tolls

 

During 2005, the National Commission of Energy prepared the documentation for the Subtransmission Tarification Study, which will set tolls in all sub-transmission systems in Chile.  The study started in February 2006 and the new tariffs will be applied by November 2006.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The Chilean Constitution of 1980 grants to all citizens the right to live in an environment free of pollution.  It further provides that other constitutional rights may be limited in order to protect the environment.  Although environmental regulation is not as well developed in Chile as in the United States and certain other countries, Chile has numerous laws, regulations, decrees and municipal ordinances that may raise environmental considerations.

 

53



 

Among them are regulations relating to waste disposal (including the discharge of liquid industrial wastes), the establishment of industries in areas in which they may affect public health and the protection of water for human consumption.

 

Our operations in Chile are also subject to Ley No. 19,300, or the Chilean Environmental Law, which was enacted in 1994.  The Chilean Environmental Law requires Endesa Chile to conduct environmental impact studies of any future generation or transmission projects or activities that may affect the environment and to arrange for the review of such studies by the Chilean Environmental Commission, or CONAMA.  It also requires an evaluation of environmental impact by the Chilean government or the posting of an environmental insurance policy insuring compliance with standards for emissions, noise, waste and disposal, and authorizes the relevant ministries to establish emission standards.  The Chilean Environmental Law was implemented by Reglamento No. 30 del Ministerio Secretaria General de la Presidencia (“Reglamento No. 30”) on March 20, 1997.  Endesa Chile applies the guidelines set out in Reglamento No. 30 when analyzing the development of future projects.  Prior to the enactment of the Chilean Environmental Law and its implementation through Reglamento No. 30, Endesa Chile applied similar guidelines to its projects.  Chilectra’s transmission lines may be also affected by regulations under the Chilean Environmental Law issued on April 3, 1997, which require environmental impact studies for projects involving high-voltage transmission lines and their substations.

 

Water rights

 

Endesa Chile owns unlimited duration unconditional and absolute property water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority.  However, in March 2005, Chilean Congress approved a modification to the current laws governing unused water rights.  Under the amended law, beginning on January 1, 2006, Chilean generation companies will have to pay an annual license for such unused water rights.  By the end of 2005, Endesa Chile will have to determine which water rights are likely to be eventually utilized for a hydroelectric project and which will not.  Endesa Chile continuously analyzes which water rights it will maintain for the future and which it will disregard.  We estimate that in the event that Endesa Chile does not abandon any water rights in the SIC, it will have to pay license fees aggregating no more than 5,773 UTA (or U.S.$ 4.3 million per year).  License fee payments carried out during the eight years before the commencement of any project, or the use of such water rights, may be recovered through a tax credit that is applied monthly until the license fee payments are recovered in full.

 

In the case of water rights located in the extreme south of Chile (in particular, the Eleventh and Twelfth regions, outside the area comprised by the SIC), the license payments will be paid starting as of January 1, 2012, using the same tax refund regime mentioned above for the SIC.

 

General Regulation Applicable to Non-Chilean Operating Companies

 

Enersis’ and Endesa Chile’s non-Chilean operating companies were acquired through the privatization of formerly government-owned and controlled companies.  In certain cases, the privatization bidding terms established limitations on the winning bidders’ ability to transfer their shares without prior regulatory approval or expiration of prescribed waiting periods.  Accordingly, Enersis’ and Endesa Chile’s ability to transfer interests in their non-Chilean operating entities is subject to compliance with such requirements.

 

Argentina

 

Industry Structure

 

Federal Law No. 24,065 of January 1992, or the Argentine Electricity Act, divides the electricity industry into three sectors: generation, transmission and distribution.  The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis with independent generation companies selling their production in the spot market of the Wholesale Electricity Market, or the WEM, or by private contracts with certain other market participants in the term market of the WEM.  Transmission is organized on a regulated basis.  Transmission companies are required to operate, maintain and provide third parties access to the transmission systems they own and are authorized to collect a toll for transmission services.  Transmission companies are prohibited from generating or distributing electricity.  The major transmission company is Compañía de Transporte de Energía Eléctrica en Alta Tensión S.A., or Transener.  Distribution involves the transfer of electricity from the supply points of transmitters to customers.  Distribution companies operate as geographic monopolies, providing service to almost all customers within their specific region.  Accordingly,

 

54



 

distribution companies are regulated as to rates and are subject to service specifications.  Although distribution companies may acquire the electricity needed to meet the demand either in the WEM at seasonal prices or through contracts with generation companies, all of them prefer to buy electricity in the WEM because distribution companies are allowed to pass through only the seasonal prices reflecting the average spot energy price.

 

The WEM classifies large users of energy into three categories: Major Large Users, or GUMAs in its Spanish acronym; Minor Large Users, or GUMEs in its Spanish acronym; and Large Particular Users, or GUPAs in its Spanish acronym.  Users in each of the three categories may freely negotiate their supply contract prices with generating companies.  GUMAs are all users with a peak capacity demand of at least 1.0 MW and a minimum annual energy consumption of 4.38 GWh.  GUMAs must contract to purchase at least 50% of their demand and purchase the rest in the spot market.  GUMEs are all users with peak capacity demand ranging between 0.03 MW and 2.0 MW.  GUPAs are all users with a peak demand ranging between 0.03 MW and 0.1 MW.  GUMEs and GUPAs are not required to have a minimum annual energy consumption.  GUMEs and GUPAs must contract to purchase all of their demand and do not effect any transactions in the spot market.

 

The regulation also recognizes the following entities as participants in the WEM:

 

      power traders, who market generation capacity and energy demand by entering into contracts with generation companies and large consumers;

 

      provinces which can sell the energy received under royalty rights; and

 

      foreign companies that are part of import/export energy contracts.

 

Dispatch and Pricing

 

The Argentine electricity dispatch system, like the Chilean system, is designed to ensure that the lowest cost electricity reaches customers.  The National Interconnected System, or NIS, coordinates the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.  Generation companies sell their electricity to distribution companies, power traders and large users in the competitive WEM through freely negotiated supply contracts or through the spot market at prices set by the Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico S.A., or CAMMESA.  The operation of the WEM is the responsibility of CAMMESA.  CAMMESA’s stockholders are generation, transmission and distribution companies, large users (through their respective associations) and the Secretariat of Energy.

 

All generation companies that are in the NIS pool operate in the WEM.  The contractual price is paid by distribution companies, power traders and large users that have entered into supply contracts with generation companies.  Large users who contract directly with generation companies must also pay their distribution companies a toll for the use of their distribution networks.  The average spot price is the price paid by distribution companies for electricity from the pool and is a fixed price reset every six months and revised every three months by CAMMESA and approved by the Secretariat of Energy according to supply, demand, available capacity and other factors.  The spot price is the price paid to generation companies, or by power traders marketing generation capacity, for energy dispatched under CAMMESA’s direction and for capacity required by CAMMESA to maintain adequate reserves.  This hourly price paid for energy reflects the marginal cost of generation.

 

The actual operation of CAMMESA involves the dispatch of generating resources without regard to the contracts among generation companies, power traders and distribution companies or large users.  Consequently, a generation company’s capacity may be dispatched to provide more or less energy to the pool irrespective of its contractual commitments.  Under these circumstances, the generation company will be obligated to buy or sell excess energy from or to the pool at spot prices.

 

Transmission Tariff

 

The transmission tariff that must be paid by generation companies, distributors and large users can be broken down into:

 

55



 

      a connection charge that underwrites the costs of operating and maintaining the equipment that links them to the transmission system;

 

      a capacity charge that underwrites costs of operating and maintaining lines; and

 

      a variable charge based on the aggregate amount of electricity energy transported to cover losses that occur during transmission.

 

Regulation of Hydroelectric Operations

 

The Basin Authority.  Ley Nacional No. 23,896 of 1990 created the Basin Authority of the Limay, Neuquén and Negro Rivers, or the Basin Authority.  The Basin Authority is responsible for the administration, control, use and preservation of the basin of the Limay, Neuquén and Negro Rivers, and for the adequate management of related water resources.  The Basin Authority monitors compliance by El Chocón, one of the largest hydroelectric generation facilities in Argentina, and other hydroelectric concession holders in the region with the provisions of their respective concession agreements, environmental laws and the Basin Authority’s resolutions.  The Basin Authority also serves as a forum for public hearings at which complaints against those holding concessions can be heard and resolved.

 

ORSEP.  The Entity for Safety of Dams, or ORSEP in its Spanish acronym, is in charge of supervising the safety of El Chocón’s dams, and of any additional works performed by El Chocón.  ORSEP supervises and inspects the construction, operation, maintenance, repair or modification of the works related to the dams and related structures in order to monitor their safety and to protect persons and assets.  ORSEP is empowered to:

 

      inspect and verify the functioning of any part of the dams or related structures;

 

      require reports on the design, construction, operation, maintenance, use, repair or modification of dams and related structures; and

 

      monitor any situation which may cause risk to the dam or any death or injury caused by such dams or related structures.

 

ORSEP also handles the approval of quality control programs submitted by El Chocón, the determination of specifications to prevent accidents and the maintenance of public safety within the area of the dams and related structures.

 

Distribution Tariff to Final Customers

 

In general, Edesur’s distribution tariff is comprised of:

 

      a fixed charge applicable to small users who are generally residential, small industrial and commercial customers (up to 10 kW), or a charge per unit of maximum demand for medium (10 to 50 kW) or large (over 50 kW) users who are generally commercial, industrial or governmental customers; and

 

      a variable energy charge per unit of energy consumed applicable to small and medium customers, or a peak/off peak hours variable charge for large users.

 

Tariffs include two components:

 

      the cost of capacity in the WEM which includes generation and transmission costs for a six-month period; and

 

      the valued added distribution component (VAD), including investment and operation costs of distribution networks.

 

A tariff revision process which was scheduled to begin in 2002 was not applied as a result of Emergency Law No. 25,561.

 

56



 

Emergency Measures

 

In January 2002, the Argentine Congress approved the Public Emergency and Reform of the Exchange Regulation Law 25,561 (the “Economic Emergency Law”).  This law authorized the forced renegotiation of public service contracts, imposed the conversion of dollar denominated obligations into Argentine pesos at a rate of AR$ 1 per U.S.$ 1 (with some exceptions) and empowered the Federal Executive Power to implement, among other things, additional monetary, financial and exchange measures to overcome the economic crisis in the medium term, such as the creation of a system for determining the rate at which the Argentine peso is to be exchanged into foreign currencies.

 

The “Unidad de Renegociación y Análisis de Contratos de Servicios Públicos” (UNIREN), the governmental institution in charge of renegotiation, and Edesur signed an Act of Agreement in August 2005, which establishes new terms and conditions in the Concession Contract of Edesur.  The Act of Agreement must be ratified by the National Executive Power.  This document establishes a transition period starting once the Act of Agreement has been enacted, which sets forth the following:

 

      an average tariff increase of 28% to be applied only to non-residential customers (estimated impact in this segment is a 38% increase in tariff) beginning November 2005;

 

      quality services requirements are imposed, based on indices registered in the period 2002-2003;

 

      Edesur must comply with an explicit investment plan for the reinforcement of its distribution network;

 

      a revision of the tariff setting process to become effective August 1, 2006; and

 

      Edesur and its shareholders must suspend any current legal actions taken against the Argentine government, and refrain from initiating any new procedures related to the Economic Emergency Law.  Ten days after the enactment of the new tariffs, Edesur and its shareholders must withdraw such legal actions.

 

Concessions

 

Edesur holds an exclusive concession to distribute electricity within the concession area for a period of 95 years from August 31, 1992.  The concession consists of an initial 15-year period and eight additional ten-year periods.  This exclusive concession may expire, or the area of concession may be changed, if technical advances permit new methods of electricity distribution.  The government must notify Edesur at least six months before the expiration of the first concession period, August 31, 2007, or any subsequent concession period, if it intends to exercise its right to modify the concession area.

 

On March 25, 1997, the ENRE approved an amendment to Edesur’s by-laws passed by stockholders at a meeting held on March 14, 1997, allowing Edesur to participate in other energy distribution companies, to act as a broker in the electricity market, and to provide services to third parties.

 

Edesur is required under the concession contract to supply electricity upon request by owners or occupants of premises in its concession area, meet certain quality standards relating to electricity supplied, meet certain operating requirements relating to the maintenance of distribution assets and bill customers based on actual readings.  As a condition of the concession, and to ensure its performance under the terms thereof, Distrilec, the direct owner of 56.4% of the shares of Edesur and the entity through which we hold part of our beneficial ownership in Edesur, has pledged its shares of Edesur to the Argentine government.  The Argentine government may sell the pledged shares if, for instance:

 

      Edesur does not comply with the quality standards established in the concession agreement or accumulates penalties in any given year in an amount greater than 20% of its invoices after taxes and contributions; and

 

      Distrilec transfers its shares of Edesur without authorization or allows another person to pledge its shares in Edesur.

 

57



 

The Argentine government may also cancel the concession if Edesur does not comply with its obligations and thereby prevents or materially affects the concession service for more than 90 days after compliance is required.

 

The concession agreement also provides that, before the end of each concession period, the ENRE will arrange for a public auction of the shares of Edesur owned by Distrilec.  Distrilec will participate in the auction, and its bid will establish the minimum price for the shares.  If a bid is made that exceeds Distrilec’s bid, Distrilec must sell its Edesur shares to the bidder for the bid price.  If no bid exceeds Distrilec’s bid, Distrilec will retain the concession but will not be obligated to make any payment.

 

The Economic Emergency Law enacted on January 6, 2002, has affected Edesur adversely by repealing the provisions of Edesur’s concession contract that permitted its distribution tariffs to be pegged to the dollar, and that provided for certain price indexation mechanisms.  Since Edesur’s invoices to its clients are no longer pegged to the dollar, the dollar value of such receivables has declined significantly in the wake of the devaluation of the Argentine peso.  Because Edesur’s indebtedness is largely dollar-denominated, the above-mentioned factors have had a significant negative impact on Edesur’s net income.

 

The Economic Emergency Law also authorized the Argentine Federal Executive Branch to renegotiate all public service contracts, and establishes certain guidelines dealing with potential impacts on the Argentine domestic economy, quality of service and capital expenditure plans, consumer interests, the security of the systems, and the profitability of the companies providing such services.  On March 20, 2002, the government listed the set of contracts to be renegotiated, as well as the general procedures to be used as guidance in such negotiations.  Among these contracts is Edesur’s concession contract, in which we are appealing for improved tariffs.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The operations of electricity generation facilities are subject to federal and local environmental laws and regulations, including Ley Nacional No. 24,051 enacted in January 1992, or the Hazardous Waste Law, and its implementing decree, Decree No. 831/1993, which regulate the disposal of hazardous waste in Argentina.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Argentine government for the concession relating to El Chocón’s hydroelectric facilities and the purchase of Endesa Costanera, El Chocón and Endesa Costanera must comply with certain reporting and monitoring obligations and emission standards.  The failure by El Chocón and Endesa Costanera to comply with these requirements and federal and local environmental legislation entitles the Argentine government to impose penalties, and in certain cases, cancel the concession agreement of El Chocón or order the suspension of operations of Endesa Costanera.  Endesa Costanera and El Chocón have filed reports pursuant to the Hazardous Waste Law and its implementing decree, Decree 831/1993, which regulate the disposal of hazardous waste.  El Chocón and Endesa Costanera have been classified as “eventual” generators of hazardous waste.  Endesa Chile believes that El Chocón and Endesa Costanera are in compliance with all material obligations relating to environmental matters.  Pursuant to the regulations established by the Argentine government, Edesur must comply with requirements relating to environmental protection, human health and safety, handling, use and release of hazardous substances, and pollution.  We believe that Edesur is in compliance with all material obligations relating to environmental matters, except for Resolution SPA No. 1118/2002 and the related regulations of the Province of Buenos Aires, relating to polychlorated biphenyl (PCB), which has been objected to by administrative proceeding and which has also caused us to file a claim before the Argentine Federal Supreme Court seeking a declaration of unconstitutionality and an injunction, based on our belief that the resolution and regulations, among other things, are contrary to the applicable federal regulatory framework.  Edesur complies with the provisions set forth by Federal Law of Minimum Budgets No. 25,670 regarding PCB and is currently in the process of obtaining some necessary environmental permits in the Province of Buenos Aires.

 

With respect to electromagnetic fields, Edesur complies with the current regulation (Resolution SE No. 77).  This compliance was ratified by the Federal Court of the city of La Plata, in the Province of Buenos Aires, which decided that, even as Edesur remains in compliance with the current regulation, it must still avoid causing damage to the public health.

Brazil

 

Industry Structure

 

Brazil’s electricity industry is organized into one large interconnected electricity system, which is known as the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the “Brazilian SIN”), which is comprised of electricity companies in the southern, southeast, central-western, northeast and other parts of the northern regions of Brazil, and several other small, isolated systems.

 

Generation, transmission, distribution and supply activities are legally separated in Brazil.  Non-regulated customers in Brazil are currently those customers who demand 3,000 kW or more annually, though this threshold is under discussion.

 

Under the present regulatory structure, the electricity industry in Brazil is comprehensively regulated by the União (Union), acting through the Ministry of Mines and Energy, or MME, which has exclusive authority over the electricity sector through its concessionaire and regulatory powers.  Regulatory policy for the sector is implemented by the National Agency of Electric Energy, or ANEEL, established pursuant to Law No. 9,427/96.  ANEEL is responsible on behalf of the União for, among other things:

 

      granting and supervising concessions on behalf of the União for electricity generation, transmission, trading and distribution, including approval of applications for the setting of tariff rates;

 

      supervising and auditing the concessionaire companies;

 

      issuing regulations for the electricity sector;

 

      granting decisions in order to solve, as an administrative matter, the differences among concessionaires, independent producers, consumers and other industry participants;

 

      establishing the criteria to calculate transmission prices;

 

      imposing contractual and regulatory penalties;

 

      implementing public policies (such as low-income program) pointed out by the Federal Government;

 

      establishing the tariff rate for consumers;

 

      managing the process of tariff adjustments;

 

      managing the bidding process for the wholesale of energy;

 

      managing the concession contracts; and

 

      terminating a concession, in those cases contemplated in the law and/or a concession agreement.

 

Privatized electricity companies have executed concession contracts with ANEEL. Planning functions were executed by two executive committees coordinated by Eletrobrás (the federally-owned electric utility company), the Grupo Coordenador de Planejamento dos Sistemas, or the GCPS, and the Grupo Coordenador de Operações Interligadas, or the GCOI, which include representatives of each of the major concessionaires.

 

As of March 1999, pursuant to the terms of Law No. 9,648/98, the GCOI’s coordination and supervisory role over the generation and transmission of energy in the interconnected systems has been transferred to the Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico, or the ONS, which is a nonprofit private entity in which the concession holders and the unregulated consumers participate as members with voting rights and the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the board of consumers participate as members with no voting rights.  The ONS is responsible for:

 

      the planning and coordination of the operations and dispatch of electricity in order to optimize the electricity produced in the interconnected systems;

 

59



 

      the supervision and coordination of the operation centers of the electricity systems; and

 

      the definition of rules for the transmission of energy in the interconnected systems.

 

Law No. 8,631 (1993) fundamentally changed the regulatory structure governing electricity rates in Brazil.  This law abolished utilities’ guaranteed annual real rate of return (“Guaranteed Return”) and the system of uniformity of electricity rates throughout the country.  This law called for automatic inflation tariff adjustments according to a complex multivariable parametric formula, Law No. 8,631 (1993) established that electricity tariffs were expected to reflect the operating costs of each company plus a certain return on capital, which is not a predefined return, but instead it is obtained through a financial/economic equilibrium.

 

In December 1994, the Brazilian government introduced the “Real Plan.” Specifically in the electricity industry, the Real Plan superseded previous rate-setting laws.  Under the Real Plan, rate increases for public utilities due to inflation are no longer granted automatically.  In an attempt to curtail inflation, the Real Plan prohibited price adjustments for periods of less than one year in any and all contracts.  Under the Real Plan, prices are reviewed and corrected on an annual basis.

 

Deregulation

 

Brazil’s concessions regulations were replaced by two statutes enacted in 1995, Law No. 8,987 of February 13, 1995 (the “Concessions Law”), and Law No. 9,074 of July 7, 1995 (the “Power Sector Law”).  The Concessions Law and the Power Sector Law gave rise to substantial changes in both the regulations for public service concessions and the rule for renewal and approval of concessions.  The objectives of these laws with respect to the electricity sector include the injection of competition into what had been a government monopoly, the infusion of private capital into the sector, the creation of incentives to complete projects on which work was suspended or delayed due to financial and macroeconomic difficulties and the laying of the groundwork for privatizations in the sector.

 

Independent Power Producers and Self-Producers

 

The Power Sector Law also introduced the concept of the independent power producers, or IPP, as a further factor in opening up the electricity sector to private investment.  The Power Sector Law provides for the formation of consortia to generate power for public utilities, for use by consortium members, for independent power production or for any one or more of these, in each case governed by applicable rules.  Self-producers (producers who generate power primarily for their own use) may:

 

      contribute or exchange energy with other self-producers within a consortium;

 

      sell excess energy to the local distribution concessionaire; or

 

      exchange energy with the local distribution concessionaire to allow for consumption by industrial plants owned by the self-producer and located somewhere other than in the area of generation.

 

Decree No. 2,003 (1996) sets forth the regulatory framework for IPPs and self-producers.  Pursuant to such decree, the development of hydroelectric power plants by an IPP or a self-producer requires a concession (awarded following a bidding process) only when the project will generate power in excess of 1 MW in the case of an IPP and 10 MW in the case of a self-producer.  In all other cases, including development of thermoelectric plants, the IPP or self-producer is only required to obtain authorization from, or to register with, ANEEL.  Decree No. 2,003 also provides that concessions and authorizations granted thereunder have terms of 35 and 30 years, respectively, with the possibility of extensions for periods equal to the initial terms.

 

As part of the former federal government’s attempt to abolish the monopolies enjoyed by most power companies, the Concessions Law also provides that, upon receiving a concession, IPPs, self-producers, suppliers and consumers will be permitted access to the distribution and transmission systems of all concessionaires, provided that the concessionaires are reimbursed for their related costs.  The basis on which such costs will be reimbursed has been determined by ANEEL.

The power industry was reviewed by the Cardoso administration and was subject to additional significant changes, including, but not limited to, restructuring and privatization of assets owned by the Federal Government of Brazil in addition to those which were already privatized (mostly in distribution area).  Such changes attempt to result in the creation of a more competitive electricity industry.

 

The former federal government requested recommendations from independent consultants for a restructuring regime in anticipation of the privatization of the Brazilian electricity sector.  Such recommendations were contemplated by Law No. 9,648/98 whereby the federal government has determined the creation of a Wholesale Energy Market formed by the generation and distribution companies.  The price offered at the Wholesale Energy Market for energy contracts is determined according to market conditions, and therefore the spot price derived from the operation of the market system is independent of the contractual relationships of the agents.  According to this model, the purchase and sale of electricity was going to be negotiated freely.  However, in order to facilitate the transition to this competitive model, the contracts already in effect at the time of the creation of the Wholesale Energy Market (called “Initial Contracts”) were to remain in effect until 2002 and afterward be reduced annually at the rate of 25%.  The first bundle of energy was liberalized in January 1, 2003, previously having been auctioned among generation companies in September 2002.  The auction had little success, with only 33% of the energy offered successfully auctioned.  The lack of interest was due in part to the decline in energy demand in Brazil and in part to consumption pattern changes after rationing, whereby consumers continue to save energy as they were legally required to do during the rationing period.

 

Former President Cardoso announced a significant restructuring of the Brazilian power industry.  Pursuant to Law No. 10,433, dated April 24, 2002, the Wholesale Energy Market structure changed to be closely regulated and monitored by ANEEL.  As a result of Law No. 10,433, ANEEL will be responsible for setting Wholesale Energy Market governance rules.  Under the former regime, such rules were primarily established by the market players, subject only to ANEEL’s ratification.  This restructuring seeks to reorganize the electricity system model to allow for continued external investment.

 

On April 26, 2002, former President Cardoso issued another relevant rule to the sector (Law No. 10,438), with the objective of recovering revenues lost due to the rationing decree which occurred between June 2001 and February 2002, expanding the emergency energy supply and increasing the alternative energy sources and producing modifications of some important rules to the electricity sector.

 

During its first year in office, the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva recognized that Cardoso’s regulatory regime had not been successful in stimulating growth in the electricity generation industry or with respect to the maintenance of low tariffs.  As a result, in February 2003, the Ministry of Mines and Energy created a committee to work on institutional reform.  The committee published a “Proposal of an Institutional Model for the Electricity Sector.”  The basic guidelines or goals of this proposal, which were approved by the CNPE (Resolution No. 5, July 21, 2003), consist of:

 

      maintaining the public service concept for the production and distribution of the electricity to consumers within our concession area;

 

      restructuring the system planning;

 

      transparency in the auction and bidding process for public projects;

 

      mitigating the systemic risks;

 

      maintaining centralized and coordinated operations of the Brazilian energy system;

 

      granting universal use and access to electricity services throughout Brazil; and

 

      modifying the bidding process of public service concessions.

 

The new Law (No. 10,848/04) of the electricity sector has maintained this restructuring.  Nevertheless, this law has revoked Law No. 10,433/02 and replaced the Wholesale of Energy Market (MAE) with the Chamber of

 

61



 

Commercialization of Energy — CCEE, which is now responsible for the activities of MAE.  According to the new model, ANEEL continues to be responsible for setting governance rules for CCEE (ex-MAE).

 

Contract Level Rule

 

Following the enactment of Law N° 10,848/04 in 2004, the demand from distribution companies must now be contracted completely.

 

Intercompany Contracts Approval

 

ANEEL approval is required for related company contracts.  The contracts between companies of the Enersis Group, Ampla-CIEN, Coelce-CIEN, Coelce-Synapsys, Ampla-Synapsis and Ampla-CAM were approved by ANEEL.

 

The modifications to the contract between Ampla and Enertrade (subsidiary of Electricidad de Portugal EDP and a shareholder of Ampla) determined by ANEEL are still in the process of being questioned in court by Enertrade.

 

Structure of the New Electricity Sector

 

The power industry was reviewed by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s administration and it has been subject to significant changes.  The federal Laws No. 10,847 and 10,848 of March 2004 established a new model for the Brazilian electricity sector.  The new model seeks to provide cheaper tariffs for consumers and guarantee the expansion of the system, with the EPE (Power Research Company), a governmental body, responsible for the planning of generation and transmission activities.  This new model has defined two contracting environments: the free contracting and the regulated environment.

 

In the free contracting environment the conditions for purchasing energy are negotiable between suppliers and their customers, maintaining essentially the same characteristics as the old model.  In relation to the regulated environment, where energy distributors operate, the new model has introduced significant changes.  Whereas the old model allowed self-dealing and allowed distributors to conduct their own auctions for their energy purchases, under the new model the purchase of energy in the regulated environment must be executed pursuant to the bidding process coordinated by ANEEL.

 

The new Brazilian model for the electricity sector creates a regulatory framework based on the principle of stability and low tariffs for consumers.  It also seeks to guarantee the expansion of installed capacity to satisfy demand growth.  Pursuant to this model, 100% of the energy demand of distributors must be satisfied through long-term contracts.  Accordingly, several bidding processes have been and will be called by ANEEL and the Chamber of Energy Sales in advance of the expiration of current contracts in the regulated environment.

 

In the unregulated environment, participants may negotiate price, indexing, tenor of the contracts and energy volume.

 

Another change imposed on the electricity sector is the separation of the bidding process for “existing power” and “new project power”.  Power plants that were in existence prior to 2000 are considered “existing power” and those that were developed after 2000 are considered “new power project”.  Cachoeira Dourada and CIEN are considered existing powers.  The government believes that existing power plants are able to provide power at more competitive prices, and therefore it should give priority in the bidding process to power generated by new project power companies.  Under the new electricity sector, this priority will be in the form of more favorable contractual terms.  For example, a generator considered a new project power is guaranteed a power purchase agreement with a twenty-year term if it wins the bidding process, while an existing power is not necessarily even guaranteed participation in the bidding process.  Brazil has an excess supply of energy, and therefore existing power generators are adversely affected by the priority given to the new project power.

 

Additionally, the new model forces the creation of new sector agents, like Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (Power Research Company), or EPE, bound to Ministry of Mines and Energy.  EPE will have the objective of researching the Brazilian Power Sector Planning.  Other new sector agents will be the Cámara de Comercialização

 

62



 

de Energia Elétrica (Power Commercialization Chamber), or CCEE, which will be the MAE’s substitute in contract administration and monitoring contractual warranties; and Comitê de Monitoramento do Setor Elétrico (Monitoring Committee of the Electricity Sector) or CMSE, which will monitor and evaluate the safety and security in the energy supply industry.

 

Moreover, the new model has established the separation of the sector activities by forbidding distribution companies to participate in generation and transmission activities and in other companies.  This prohibition on vertical and horizontal integration in the electricity sector affected Ampla’s generation activities and its ownership in Coelce through Investluz.  Ampla adjusted its structure, complying with this new requirement by separating its generation assets, as well as its ownership of Coelce, another distribution company.

 

Finally, the contracts in effect at the time of the enactment of the law will be respected, but amendments changing term, price and quantities to the mentioned contracts is forbidden.

 

As part of the regulations of the new model, energy contracting by distribution companies for supplying regulated customers must be performed through a centralized auctioning process.

 

The first auction took place in December 2004, in which energy to be produced by existing generating plants was contracted with distribution companies for a period of five to eight years.  The first auction for energy to be produced by future plants took place in December 2005.

 

Also, during 2005, pending regulations were published concerning procedures to net complementary contractual positions among distribution companies (Mecanismo de Compensação de Sobras e Déficits).  This procedure reduces the risk of paying penalties for distribution companies.

 

Finally, other regulations were also published specifying the pass through of costs when a new plant does not start its supply at the established date.  In this case, the producer must cover its short-term position with a back-up contract, and the price to be charged to the distribution company will be the lowest of the original contract price, the spot price or the back-up contract price.

 

Distribution Pricing

 

The Concessions Law establishes three kinds of revisions related to the energy supply to final consumers.  These are: Annual Tariff Resetting, Ordinary Tariff Revision and Extraordinary Tariff Revisions.

 

Annual Tariff Resetting

 

Distribution company pricing aims to maintain constant a concessionaire’s operating margins by:

 

      allowing for tariff increases related to costs beyond management’s control; and

 

      permitting the concessionaire to retain any efficiencies achieved, such as energy loss reductions, for defined periods of time, beyond which such efficiencies are expected to be transferred to the final consumer.

 

The tariff formula assumes that the company is breaking even at the time that it was purchased by the consortium and that revenues are exactly sufficient to cover the costs of the concessionaire.  Costs are divided into two broad categories: those over which management has an influence, such as wages, or VPB, and those over which management does not have an influence, or VPA.  Since the tariff formula assumes a break-even equilibrium, VPB costs, in contrast, are defined as the difference between revenues and VPA costs.  In practice, the financial losses which result from increases between tariff settings of the VPA costs were at first difficult to transfer to final distribution tariffs.  The problem has been partially solved with the creation of a compensatory tracking account.  Resolution No. 361/04 of the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) and the Ministry of Fazenda (Ministry of Finance) established that not only should the tariff charges be compensated but also the cost of purchasing energy.  The tariff adjustment formula that applies to utilities keeps VPA costs as actually incurred, indexes VPB by inflation, and divides the sum of those two components for the following year by annual revenues for the previous year, assuming constant demand in each year.  The established convention for “annual revenues” is the aggregate of

 

63



 

the last twelve months’ revenues as accounted for in the company’s books.  Every year within a tariff-setting period, the parameters of the formula are updated to arrive at break-even equilibrium for the previous year.  Application of this tariff formula to Ampla resulted in a nominal local currency increase of 24.0% for the 1999-2000 period, 17.6% for 2001, 18.6% as of January 2002, 28.6% as of January 2003, 16.5% as of December 2004.  ANEEL approved extending Ampla’s annual tariff setting process date from December 31, 2005 to March 15, 2006.  In the future, all tariff resetting processes will take place in March instead of December.

 

For Coelce, the tariff adjustments in nominal local currency were 10.6% for 1997, 11.4% for 1999, 11.3% in 2000, 15.0% for 2001 and 14.3% for 2002.  In 2003, Coelce and Ampla had their first ordinary tariff revision, explained below.  For 2004 the tariff adjustment was 11.1% and for 2005 the tariff adjustment for Coelce was 23.6%.

 

In March 2005, the ANEEL published a procedure to adjust tariffs to end users according to the variation of costs incurred by distribution companies in purchasing their electricity supply.

 

The compensation covers the difference in costs incurred with respect to the calculation of the current tariff during the previous tariff resetting.  The payment shall occur during the next twelve months, and includes financial interest calculated based on the SELIC daily interest rate.  This allows the company to fully recover energy purchasing costs, which may vary every year.

 

Also in 2005, ANEEL excluded from the annual tariff setting process the PIS & COFINS taxes, which will be charged by distribution companies to the final customers.

 

Ordinary Tariff Revision

 

A tariff revision is different than a tariff resetting because a tariff revision takes into account the entire tariff-setting structure of the company, including the costs of providing services, the costs of purchasing energy and the remuneration of the investor, which occurs every four years for Coelce and every five years for Ampla, according to their concession contracts.  During 2002, the ANEEL established, through Resolution No. 493, a methodology to determine the asset base to be remunerated.  This asset base consists of the market value of the assets or the replacement value of the depreciated assets during their useful life from an accounting point of view.

 

During 2003, ANEEL set the rate of return for the distribution assets based on the use of weighted average cost of capital, or WACC, on a model company, considering efficient capital costs of equity, debt and an efficient leverage level.  The operating and maintenance costs that are reflected in the tariff are calculated based on the model company that considers the unique characteristics of the concession area for each distributor.

 

Coelce had its first ordinary tariff revision adjustment on April 22, 2003, resulting in an increase of 31.3%.  Ampla had its first ordinary tariff revision adjustment on December 31, 2003, resulting in an increase of 15.5%.

 

These ordinary tariff revisions were provisional, as the final value recognized for the basis of the definitive compensation and the quota of regulatory reintegration still needed to be determined.  For Ampla, the recalculation occurred in December 2004 and the ordinary tariff revision decreased from 15.5% to 13.9%.  For Coelce the ordinary tariff revision was recalculated in April 2005 to 34.65%.

 

For Ampla, as a result of this reduction of the ordinary tariff revision, which is included in the annual tariff resetting, the net increase of the tariff was 14.8% instead of 16.5%.

 

Extraordinary Tariff Revision

 

The Concessions Law guarantees an economic and financial equilibrium for a company in the event that there is a substantial change in its operating cost.

 

In the event that VPA, the cost components over which management does not exert influence (such as energy purchases and taxes), increases significantly within the period between two annual tariff adjustments and the concessionaire makes a formal request, ANEEL may permit those costs in the tariff to be charged by the distribution company to be adjusted.

Concessions

 

Under the current Brazilian Concessions Law, concessions are exclusive with respect to generation, transmission and distribution assets that, in the opinion of ANEEL, will permit the concessionaire to recover its investment.  However, trading is permitted subject to payment of tolls.  Such time period is limited to 35 years in the case of concessions for power generation and 30 years in the case of concessions for transmission or distribution.  Concessions may be renewed at the discretion of ANEEL for a period equal to their initial term.  Concessionaires may apply for further extensions, but the terms under which such extensions may be granted in cases in which the concessionaires may be deemed to have recovered their investments are unclear under the Concessions Law.

 

The consortium and the company that were awarded controlling interests in Ampla and Coelce, respectively, signed 30-year concession agreements with the Brazilian government for distribution on November 20, 1996 and May 13, 1998, respectively.  The two concession agreements establish the norms applicable for operations, marketing and purchase of electricity from generation companies.  They also impose certain restrictions on investments to be carried out and require Ampla and Coelce to participate in certain studies.  The concession agreements establish a mathematical formula for tariffs, taking into consideration the rights and responsibilities of both the concessionaire and ANEEL.  Subject to the terms of the concession agreements, ANEEL has substantial discretion to set Ampla’s and Coelce’s tariffs beginning in 2003.

 

Concessions for the operation of electrical distribution networks in each concession area are granted by the MME on an exclusive basis, with the exception that large users are free to negotiate their supply of electricity with any generating company, in accordance with Articles 15 and 16 of Law No. 9,074 (1995).  Ampla and Coelce are required to supply electricity for public services at the established prices, on a continuous basis, in sufficient quantity and within certain standards of quality.  The concessions may be revoked by the MME in the event of noncompliance with certain commercial, operating and quality standards.  The concession agreements also provide for ANEEL to levy fines and penalties in the event of noncompliance as previously defined in each concession agreement.

 

Cachoeira Dourada also executed a 30-year generation concession agreement with the Brazilian government as of September 30, 1997.

 

If a concession is revoked, all the property and the facilities used in connection with the concession revert to the federal government against payment of compensation to the electricity utility.  Until the end of 2010, electricity utilities are required to make monthly contributions to the Reserva Global de Reversão, or RGR, a reserve fund designed to provide funds for such compensation to such utilities.  As disposed on ANEEL’s Resolution 23/99 the monthly contributions are at an annual rate equal to 2.5% of Revertible Assets.  The amount of contributions is capped at an amount equal to 3% of total revenues.  If a concession is revoked or not renewed, the electricity utility is entitled to receive compensation from the reserve fund in an amount equal to the value of its Revertible Assets as stated on its balance sheet.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The Brazilian Constitution gives both the federal and state governments power to enact laws designed to protect the environment and to issue regulations under such laws.  While the federal government has power to promulgate environmental regulations, state governments have the power to enact more stringent environmental regulations.  Most of the environmental regulations in Brazil are thus at the State and local level rather than at the level of the federal government.

 

In Brazil, hydroelectric generation companies are required to obtain the use of water concessions and environmental approvals, and thermal electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies are required to obtain environmental approvals from ANEEL and the environmental regulatory authorities.

 

Recent Changes in the Tax Law

 

Recent tax changes may affect results of Brazilian operations.  On December 29, 2003 the Federal Government issued Law No. 10,833/03.  Under the new methodology, the tax rate increases from 3.6% to 9.3% of gross revenues, but permits the compensation of some costs through tax credits.  This changes the previous tax regime,

 

65



 

and CIEN revenues arising from long-term agreements will now be impacted by this new legal framework.  For 2004, CIEN will have to pay an additional R$ 28 million.  Cachoeira Dourada is not affected by this new tax regime, since Cachoeira Dourada is subject to the presumed income tax regime.

 

Another relevant change in tax legislation was Law No. 10, 865/04 (conversion of Provisional Measure 164/04), which creates a tax to be applied to imports of movable assets, the “Imports PIS/COFINS”, effective as of May 2004.  This new rule follows the general terms and conditions of Law No. 10.833/03 and also foresees the possibility of a tax credit The tax rate for “Imports PIS/COFINS” is 9.25% (7.6% of COFINS and 1.65% of PIS).  Cachoeira Dourada is not involved in the import of goods and services and therefore is not subject to this tax regime.  However, CIEN’s main activity is the import of electricity from Argentina and therefore it could be affected by this new legislation.  We cannot determine at this time whether CIEN will be affected by “Imports PIS/COFINS”, since CIEN’s import activity is very specific and unique.  A group of electricity import companies intends to propose changes to the legislation in order to clarify the applicability of Law No. 10,865/04 to import operations such as those conducted by CIEN.

 

Colombia

 

The Colombian constitution provides that it is the government’s duty to ensure that public services are made available in an efficient manner to everyone.  Ley Número 142 of 1994 (“Law 142”) provides the broad regulatory framework for the provision of residential public services, including electricity, and Ley Número 143 of 1994 (the “Colombian Electricity Act”) provides the regulatory framework for the generation, trading, transmission and distribution of energy.

 

Law 142 establishes that the provision of electricity services is an essential public service that may be provided by government and private sector entities.  Utility companies are required to: (1) ensure continuous and efficient service without abuse of a dominant position; (2) facilitate low-income users’ access to subsidies granted by the authorities; (3) inform users regarding efficient and safe use of the services; (4) protect the environment; (5) allow access and interconnection to other public service companies, their large users, or to their services; (6) cooperate with the authorities in the event of emergency to prevent damage to the users; and (7) report the commencement of their activities to the appropriate regulatory commission and the Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios (Superintendency of Public Services) (“SSP”).

 

The Colombian Electricity Act sets out the following principles for the electricity industry, which are implemented in the resolutions promulgated by the Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas (“CREG”) and other regulatory bodies governing the electricity sector: (1) efficiency – the correct allocation and use of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum cost; (2) quality – compliance with the technical requirements established in regulations affecting the sector; (3) continuity – a continuous electricity supply without unjustified interruptions; (4) adaptability – the incorporation of modern technology and administrative systems to promote quality and efficiency; (5) neutrality – the impartial treatment of all electricity consumers; (6) solidarity – the provision of funds by higher-income consumers to subsidize the subsistence consumption of lower income consumers; and (7) equity – an adequate and non-discriminatory supply of electricity to all regions and sectors of the country.

 

Prior to the passage of the Colombian Electricity Act, the Colombian electricity sector was extensively vertically integrated.  The Colombian Electricity Act separately regulates generation, transmission, trading and distribution (the “Activities”).  Under this law, any company, domestic or foreign, may undertake any of the Activities.  New companies, however, must engage exclusively in one of the Activities.  Trading can be combined with either generation or distribution.  Companies which were vertically integrated at the time the Colombian Electricity Act became effective may continue to engage in all the Activities in which they were engaged prior to the effectiveness of the Colombian Electricity Act but must maintain separate accounting records for each Activity.

 

The CREG 001-2006 Resolution modifies market share calculation methodology for generation, trading and distribution activities but eliminates the 25% market share limit for the distribution activity established that as of July, 2007; the market share of generators, traders have been limited as follows:

 

      a generator may not own more than 25% of the installed generating capacity in Colombia;

 

66



 

      a trader may not account for over 25% of the trading activity in the Colombian National Interconnected System, or the Columbian SIN;

 

Both limitations described above on generators and traders include capacity of international interconnections.

 

In order to calculate these limits, the CREG 001-2006 resolution established that the participation of a given company is added to those of other companies that are controlled by, or under common control with, other companies.  In addition, generators may not own more than a 25% interest in a distributor, and vice versa; however, this limitation only applies to individual companies and does not preclude cross-ownership by companies of the same corporate group, nor by its parents, affiliates or subsidiaries.  In 1999, CREG issued Resolution 42 which established that no generator may increase, directly or indirectly, its participation in the Generation Market pursuant to acquisitions or mergers, if the total MW of Net Effective Capacity resulting therefrom exceed the so-called “Capacity Band” as set by the CREG.  Through Resolution 5 of 2002, CREG set the Capacity Band at 4,250 MW.  The CREG
042-1999 Resolution also includes rules to determine the participation of a company and its investors in the generation, distribution and trading businesses.

 

The Ministry of Mines and Energy defines the government’s policies for the energy sector.  Other government entities which play an important role in the electricity industry are: (1) the Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios (“SSPD”), which is in charge of overseeing and inspecting the companies incorporated as public services companies; (2) the CREG, which is in charge of regulating the energy and gas sectors; and (3) the Unidad de Planeación Minera y Energética (Mining and Energy Planning Agency), which is in charge of planning the expansion and along with the Comité Asesor para el Planeamiento de la Transmisión (“CAPT”), determines the expansion of the generation and transmission network, among other tasks.

 

Under the Colombian Electricity Act, the CREG is empowered to issue mandatory regulations governing the technical and commercial operation of the sector and the setting of charges for regulated activities.  The CREG’s main functions are as follows: (1) establish the conditions for the gradual deregulation of the electricity sector toward an open and competitive market; (2) approve charges for the transmission and distribution networks and charges for trading to regulated customers; (3) establish the methodology for calculating and establishing maximum tariffs for supplying the regulated market; (4) establish the operation’s regulations for the planning and coordination of the operation of the Colombian National Interconnected System; (5) establish technical requirements for the quality, reliability and security of supply; and (6) protect customers’ rights.

 

CREG Resolutions do not require Congressional approval.  Law No. 142 of 1994 establishes that any CREG Resolution that gives rise to a right or obligation of an individual utility may be contested first through a recurso de reposición, an appeal filed with the CREG which makes a decision or promulgates an administrative act, requesting reversal, modification or clarification of its decisions or Resolutions, and secondly through lawsuits before administrative courts.  Resolutions of a general nature may be directly contested through a lawsuit before an administrative court.  CREG also has the authority to resolve disputes between participants in the electricity and gas sectors, per their request, through arbitration, when the dispute involves the interpretation of operational or commercial rules.

 

The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis with generation companies selling their production on the electricity pool market in an energy pool known as the Bolsa de Energía (the “Bolsa”) at the spot price or by long-term private contracts with certain other market participants and non-regulated users at freely negotiated prices.  The Colombian SIN is the Colombian electricity system formed by the following elements: the generation plants, the interconnection grid, the regional and inter-regional transmission lines, the distribution lines and the electrical loads of the users.  Betania and Emgesa are part of the SIN.  The spot price is the price paid by the participant in the wholesale market for energy dispatched under the direction of the Centro Nacional de Despacho (“CND”).  The hourly spot price paid for energy reflects prices offered by generators in the Bolsa and the respective supply and demand.  Generators connected to the SIN also receive a capacity charge provided they meet certain conditions established in the CREG Resolution 116 of 1996 (“Resolution 116”), as amended by several other resolutions, including Resolution 074 of 2002.  The capacity charge is calculated pursuant to formulas also included in such Resolutions.  Since the creation of the wholesale electricity market in July of 1995, relatively stable amounts of energy have been exchanged between generators and distribution companies, acting in their capacity as traders.  Initially, distribution companies were required to enter into contracts to supply 100% of their regulated market and,

 

67



 

although this requirement has gradually been reduced, they have still tended to secure contracts for a large proportion of their regulated market.

 

Dispatch and Pricing

 

The purchase and sale of electricity can take place between generators, distributors acting in their capacity as traders, traders (who do not generate or distribute electricity) and unregulated consumers.  There are no restrictions limiting new entrants into the market as long as the participants comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

 

The principal function of the Bolsa is to allow for the sale of excess energy not committed under contracts and for spot sales of electricity.  Its operations are similar to the electricity pools which operated in England and Wales.  In the Bolsa an hourly spot price for all units dispatched is established based on the offer price of the highest priced generating unit dispatched for that period.  Every day the CND receives price bids from all the generators that participate in the Bolsa.  These bids indicate the daily prices at which the generators are willing to supply electricity and the hourly available capacity for the following day.  Based on this information, the CND following the principle known as “optimal dispatch” (which assumes an infinite transmission capacity through the network) ranks the generators according to their offer price, starting with the lowest bid, thereby establishing on an hourly basis the merit order in which generators would be dispatched in the following day to meet expected demand.  The price in the Bolsa for all generators is set by the costliest generator dispatched in each hourly period under the optional dispatch.  This price ranking system is intended to ensure that national demand, increased by the total amount of energy exported to other countries will be satisfied by the lowest cost combination of available generating units in the country.  During 2003, international short-term electricity transactions were regulated through Resolution CREG 004 and some other amending resolutions, which became effective when trade with Ecuador began.  Also, the CND performs the “planned dispatch,” which takes into consideration the limitations of the network as well as every other condition necessary to attend energy demands expected for the following day, in a secure, reliable and cost-efficient manner.  The planned dispatch is revised continuously by the CND in response to any changes affecting the system (e.g., demand, actual plant availability, system restrictions, etc.) that may take place throughout the day.

 

Differences among real dispatch and “optimal dispatch” give rise to what are known as “restrictions,” which are settled for each generator in the following way: restricted generators (those whose real generation is lower than optimal dispatch) are charged with the average of the market price and their offer prices; and out-of-merit generators (those whose real generation is greater than optimal dispatch) are credited with the difference, also appraised according to regulated prices (CREG 034-2001 and others).  The net value of these restrictions are assigned proportionally to all the traders within the Colombian SIN, according to their demands of energy.  The attacks by guerrillas on the transmission infrastructure gave rise to a significant increase in restrictions, which in turn gave rise to claims from users given the subsequent increase of tariffs.  This situation forced CREG to issue Resolution 34 (2001) and some other amending resolutions, in order to intervene in the settlement of the restrictions, in such a manner that for the restricted generators, the difference is appraised with the average of the offer price and the spot price.  The out-of-merit generators have a maximum cap on the recognized price, in accordance with pre-established values.  This Resolution, which is still in force, despite the fact that it had been announced as a temporary measure, has been challenged, and in certain cases, has resulted in legal proceedings initiated by the generators, who consider that the recognized prices do not cover the costs associated with these restrictions.

 

The dominance of hydroelectric generation and the marked seasonal variations in Colombia’s hydrology result in a high degree of price volatility in the Bolsa.  In order to enhance predictability and mitigate the volatility of spot sale prices, CREG introduced a new firm capacity charge pursuant to Resolution 116 (the “Capacity Charge”), effective as of December 1, 1997, amended by several other resolutions including Resolution 074 of 2002.  The Capacity Charge is a fixed monthly charge intended to be equivalent to the capital costs of an open-cycle gas turbine.  The Capacity Charge remunerates generators for the firm capacity made available to the Colombian SIN in periods of critical hydrology.  Generators receive the Capacity Charge payment regardless of actual plant dispatch, provided that their declared availability exceeds certain limits and that they meet other conditions set forth in Resolution 116 as amended.  The Capacity Charge provides generators with a source of fixed revenue which is dependent primarily on the generator’s own firm energy.  The CND can verify a generator’s declared availability and the SSPD can impose sanctions if the actual availability is lower than the declared availability.  If a generator’s availability is less than the minimum limit, the generator does not receive the total amount of the Capacity Charge.

If a generator’s availability is less than the minimum limit during the dry season, between December 1 and April 30 of each year, the generator only receives the Capacity Charge equivalent to its actual availability.  Also, the minimum limit for the rainy season (between May 1 and November 30 of each year) is determined by the lowest value between the minimum limit and the average actual availability during the dry season.

 

In particular, Resolution 111 (2000) modified the calculation of the Capacity Charge for generation companies, shifting the balance in favor of thermal generators over hydroelectric generators.  The Capacity Charge of a given power plant is calculated on the basis of the firm energy that could be supplied during a hypothetical 24-month drought period assuming for each month the minimum hydrological conditions that prevailed during different “El Niño” phenomena that occurred during history.  A new proposal for the calculation of the Capacity Charge for generation companies is currently being discussed.

 

In March 2003, the Colombian pool market started the TIE (Energy International Transactions) with Ecuador and exported 1,129 GWh of energy and imported 67 GWh of energy.  During 2005, Colombia exported 1,757 GWh of energy and imported 16 GWh of energy.

 

Transmission

 

Transmission companies (defined as those that operate networks of voltages of at least 220 kV, which in turn make up the National Transmission System, or NTS) are required to provide third-party access to the transmission system under equal conditions and are authorized to collect a tariff for transmission services.  If the parties do not agree upon the conditions of such access, the CREG is entitled to impose an easement of access.  The transmission tariff that must be paid by generators, distribution companies and traders is composed of:

 

      a connection charge that underwrites the cost of operating the equipment that links the user to the transmission system, which is not charged if the generator is the owner of the connecting equipment; and

 

      a usage charge, applicable only to traders.

 

The NTS regulates income for transmission companies by means of a guaranteed annual fixed income, subject to the compliance of certain minimum availability, which is determined by the new replacement value of the networks and equipment existing as of January 1, 2000, and in the case of new projects, by the resulting value of the bidding processes awarded for the expansion of the NTS.  Such value has been allocated 100% among the traders of the NTS in proportion to the energy demand registered by all of its clients.

 

The expansion of the NTS is carried out according to model expansion plans designed by Unidad Planeación Minero-Energética (“UPME”) and pursuant to bidding processes opened to existing transmission companies and new companies, which are handled by the Ministry of Mines and Energy following the guidelines set forth in CREG Resolution 51 of 1998.  According to such Resolution, the construction, operation and maintenance of new projects is awarded to the Company that demands the lowest present value of cash flows needed for carrying out the project.  CREG has enacted subsequent resolutions which modify and replace CREG 051 of 1998 by improving the plan of expansion of STN but conserving the same conceptual framework.

 

Distribution

 

Distribution is defined as the operation of local networks at below 220 kV.  Any user may have access to a distribution network provided the user pays a connection charge.  The CREG regulates distribution prices and operations.  Distribution prices should permit distribution companies to recover their reasonable costs, including operating, maintenance and capital costs.  The use of the system charges (“DUOS charges”) for each company is approved by CREG and varies depending on the voltage level.

 

The CREG must calculate DUOS charges for each company.  By means of Resolution 082 from 2002, the CREG changed the new distribution charges methodology, replacing the methodology contained in Resolution 99 of 1997.  The distribution charges are calculated based on the replacement cost of the distribution assets prevailing at the moment the charges are being calculated (the calculation method assumes that the marginal cost for new projects is lower than or equal to the approved average cost, and allows any excess over the average cost to be charged to the

users interested in projects that do not meet such condition) and an assumed opportunity cost of capital, as well as operation and maintenance costs.

 

Trading

 

Trading is the direct resale to end users of electricity purchased in the wholesale market and may be conducted by generators, distributors or independent agents which must comply with the requirements of CREG.  The parties freely agree upon trading prices for deregulated users.  Trading to regulated users is subject to a “regulated freedom regime” under which the tariffs are set by each trader using tariff options based on a formula established by CREG in Resolution 31-1997.  Tariffs are determined pursuant to a combination of:

 

      general cost formulas given by CREG; and

 

      individual trading costs approved by CREG for each trader.

 

The approved costs are maximum costs.  Thus the traders may set tariffs applying lower costs supported by economic reasons, duly evidenced.  Tariffs include, among other things, the costs for the purchase of electricity by the trader, transmission charges, distribution charges and a margin to cover the risks of the activity and the return on the investment.

 

The distribution market is divided into regulated and unregulated customer markets.  Customers in the unregulated market are free to contract electricity supplies directly from a generator or distributor, acting in their capacities as traders, or from a pure trader.  The unregulated customer market consists of customers with a peak demand of more than 0.1 MW or a minimum monthly consumption of 55 MWh, which corresponds to approximately 3,500 large industrial and commercial customers and represents about 32% of the supply market.

 

Because CREG did not decide on the new tariff formula to be applied in the next tariff period, the current methodology remained in effect for 2005.  It is expected that the new tariff formula, the regulated margin for trading activities and the conditions of competition of the industry will be determined by the CREG during 2006.

 

It is expected that certain elements in retail trading regulation which grant artificial competitive advantages to independent traders will be corrected by the new retail trading scheme.  The bulk of National Development Plan regulation regarding the electric retail business is published in decree 3734, published by the Ministry of Mines in December 2003.  Under this decree, independent traders are forced to have the same market composition, in terms of average energy consumption per customer, as the established trading and distribution company.  This decree also imposes an obligation to recognize costs associated with being the last resort supplier.  However, the contents of this decree have not yet been fully enforced.  At a wholesale level, the new long-term energy supply scheme—SEC (Sistema Electrónico de Comercialización)—is expected to become fully operative in 2006.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

Law No. 99 of 1993 provides the legal framework for environmental regulation and, among other actions, created the Ministry of the Environment as the authority for establishing environmental policies, which has a specific focus on the definition, issuance and execution of policies and regulations seeking the recuperation, conservation, protection, organization, administration and use of renewable resources.  Thus, the use of natural resources or any impact to them as a result of any activity or project will require the issuance of permits and environmental licenses or the establishment of environmental management plans.  The law places particular attention on environmental impact prevention by entities in the energy sector.  Any such entity planning to undertake projects or activities relating to generation, interconnection, transmission or distribution of electricity which may result in environmental deterioration, must first obtain an environmental license.

 

Since 1993, Colombia has experienced a significant expansion in its environmental regulations as a result of Law No. 99, which requires generators to contribute to the conservation of the environment by means of a payment for the use of electricity generation.  Hydraulic plants with total installed nominal capacity above 10,000 kilowatts, must pay 6% of their energy sales; in the case of thermoelectric plants, those with total installed nominal capacity above 10,000 kilowatts must pay 4% of their energy sales.  This payment is made to the municipalities and environmental corporations where facilities are located.

Inspection and Control

 

According to the National Constitution and the Public Utilities Law, the Superintendency of Public Utilities exercises supervision of public services companies involved in the aforementioned electricity activities.  In 2003, the Superintendency of Public Utilities implemented a central information system in order to consolidate all the information of public utilities for both control and information purposes.  In early 2006, the Superintendency of Public Utilities issued a resolution modifying the effects of inflation in the book value of public utility assets.  It is not yet possible to estimate the impact of such resolution on our business.

 

Peru

 

Industry Structure

 

The regulatory framework for the electricity industry in Peru was modeled after the regulatory framework in Chile.  Its main regulations are: Law of Electrical Concessions (Law Decree No. 25,844) and its regulation (Supreme Decree No. 009-93 EM), Technical Regulation on the Quality of the Electrical Supply (Supreme Decree No. 020-97 EM), Antitrust Law on the Electrical Sector (Law No. 26,876) and its regulation (Supreme Decree No. 017-98-ITINCI), Law No. 26,734 which created the regime that supervises Investments in Energy and its Regulation (Decree No. 54-2001 PCM), in addition to the supplementary Law 27,699 of OSINERG, and the regulation for resolution of controversies that arise within this institution (Resolution No. 0826-2002-OS/CD).

 

Some of the most important characteristics of the regulatory framework for the electricity industry in Peru are: (i) vertical disintegration, or separation of the three main activities: generation, transmission and distribution; (ii) freedom of prices for the supply of energy in competitive markets, and a system of regulated prices based on the principle of efficiency (correct allocation and utilization of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum costs); and (iii) private operation of the interconnected electricity systems subject to the principles of efficiency and service quality (compliance with the technical requirements established in regulations affecting the sector).

 

The electricity sector in Peru consists of one interconnected system, the Sistema Eléctrico Interconectado Nacional, or the SEIN, plus several isolated regional and smaller systems which provide electricity to rural areas.  In Peru, the Ministerio de Energía y Minas, or the Ministry of Energy and Mines, defines energy sector policies, and regulates matters relating to the environment, and the granting, supervision, maturity and termination of licenses and concessions for generation, transmission, and distribution activities, among others.  OSINERG is an autonomous public regulatory entity established in 1996 to control the compliance with legal and technical regulations related to electrical and hydrocarbon activities, as well as the conservation of the environment in connection with the development of these activities.  One of OSINERG’s functions is the publication of the regulated tariffs.  The Comité de Operación Económica del Sistema, or the COES, coordinates the dispatch of electricity of Peru’s SEIN in a manner similar to the CDECs in Chile and prepares the technical and financial study that serves as a basis for the semi-annual node tariff calculations.

 

As of October 1997, there are established technical norms against which to compare the quality and conditions of the service provided by electricity companies.  As of October 1999, those companies that do not meet the minimum quality standards are subject to fines and penalties imposed by OSINERG, as well as to compensatory mechanisms for those customers who received substandard service.

 

Dispatch and Pricing

 

The dispatch methodology and pricing at the generation level in Peru are virtually identical to the dispatch methodology and pricing in Chile and unregulated customers in Peru are those with demand for capacity of greater than 1 MW.  Supplies for demand capacity lower than 1 MW are considered a public service supply and served by electricity distribution companies.

 

Edelnor, as a distribution company is required to supply electricity within its concession area for public service supplies at regulated prices on a continuous basis in sufficient quantity and within certain quality standards.  In addition, it is responsible for supplying electricity for public lighting.  Until December 22, 1999, electricity provided to non-public service customers was supplied at negotiated prices.  Currently, in the case of both electricity sold to the public and private service customers, the transmission and distribution tariffs are regulated by OSINERG.

 

71



 

Transmission

 

At the transmission level in Peru, transmission lines are divided into principal and secondary systems.  The principal system lines, all of which form part of the main grid, are accessible to all generation facilities connected to the grid and allow electricity to be carried to all customers.  The transmission concessionaire of facilities that form part of the main transmission system receives tariff revenues and connection tolls reflecting a charge determined in accordance with the respective concession agreement.  The secondary system lines typically link generation facilities or unregulated customers with the grid.

 

Distribution Pricing

 

Sales by generation companies to distribution companies of capacity or energy for resale to regulated customers must be made at node prices set by OSINERG.  Node prices for capacity and energy have been published every six months, in April and October, and become effective the first day of May and November, respectively; but in 2005, this publication will be made annually, in April of each year, in accordance with a recent amendment to the law.  Node prices are the maximum prices for electricity purchased by distribution companies that can be transferred to regulated customers.  Although these prices are quoted in Peruvian soles, the calculations are mainly effected in U.S. dollars.  Other conditions of distribution pricing are similar to those in Chile.

 

The electricity tariff for a customer of the Servicio Público de Electricidad (regulated clients) includes charges for capacity and energy from generation and transmission (node prices) and from the VAD which considers a regulated return over capital investments, operating and maintenance fixed charges and a standard for energy distribution losses.

 

Distribution electricity tariffs are set on the basis of voltage levels.  Regulated customers have a range of tariff options that allow them to manage the charges based on consumption in peak hours (between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.) or non-peak hours (all the remaining hours of the day).  However, the majority of the regulated clients of Edelnor are within the tariff category that simply measures the energy consumed without any reference to capacity or division of consumption between peak and non-peak hours (Tarifa BT-5).  Regulated customers subject to Tarifa BT-5 represented 99.6% of Edelnor’s clients and 45.3% of total sales of electricity during 2002.  Unregulated customers can choose to pay for energy consumed or capacity or consumption distinguishing between peak and non-peak hours, or a combination of these factors according to stipulations on their contracts.

 

Value Added from Distribution

 

Value Added from Distribution (VAD) includes the following distribution costs: (a) general, administrative and selling costs; (b) maintenance and operation costs for distribution equipment; (c) a margin for standard energy and capacity losses; and (d) a return on investment based on the net replacement value (VNR in its Spanish acronym) of the equipment used in distribution.  VNR equipment includes costs for renewal of all the installations and equipment used to provide distribution services, including intangible assets and working capital.

 

The process to set the VAD gathers distribution companies in groups hereinafter referred to as Typical Sectors or ST, which are established by The Ministry of Energy and Mines based on factors such as energy consumer density or equipment density in the distribution network.  Different efficiency standards are applied depending on the ST.

 

Based on the efficiency standards obtained from a selected real company, OSINERG chooses a “model company” for purposes of setting the VAD.  A given distribution company’s actual return on investment is dependent on its performance relative to the standards chosen by OSINERG for the model company.  The tariff system allows for a greater return to distribution companies that are more efficient than the model company.

 

Once OSINERG has established the performance standards, the distribution companies retain specialized consultants who perform a parallel tariff study subject to OSINERG guidelines.  Preliminary tariffs established by OSINERG are tested to ensure that they provide an average real annual internal rate of return between 8% and 16% on the VNR of assets for the entire distribution industry.

 

72



 

Once the component of the VAD for the tariff has been set, it will remain in effect for a period of four years unless the adjustment tariff index has doubled during such period.  The VAD index allows adjustments based on variations on node prices and distribution costs, including wages, the wholesale price index for domestic products, aluminum prices, copper prices, currency exchange rates and import duties.  The VAD index is adjusted when the underlying variables in the formula to project the VAD then in effect would result in a variation in excess of 1.5%.  The current VAD component of the tariff was set in November 2005 and should be valid until October 2009.

 

Concessions

 

Concessions for the operation of distribution networks are granted by the Ministry of Energy and Mines.  Edelnor holds exclusive concessions to distribute electricity within its concession areas for an indefinite period of time.  The concession areas may be expanded by the holder of the concession upon prior notice to the Ministry of Energy and Mines every two years.  The concession area may not be reduced without the authorization of the Ministry of Energy and Mines.  The concessions may be revoked by the Ministry of Energy and Mines in the event of non-compliance with certain commercial operating and quality standards.  Edelnor may give up its concession with one year’s prior notice to the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

 

A concession for electricity generation activities is required when a hydroelectric or geothermal power plant has an installed capacity in excess of 10 MW while an authorization for electricity generation activities is required when a thermoelectric, hydroelectric or geothermal power plant has an installed capacity in excess of 500 kW.

 

Neither an authorization nor concession is required for electricity generation activities when the hydroelectric, geothermal or thermoelectric power plant has an installed capacity below 500 kW.

 

A concession for electricity generation activities constitutes an agreement between the generation company and Ministry of Energy and Mines while an authorization is merely an unilateral permission granted by the ministry.  Authorizations and concessions are granted by the ministry under the procedures set forth in the Electricity Concessions Law and its regulations and amendments.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

In Peru, electricity distribution companies are subject to the general environmental and penal laws which govern environmental matters and to the Reglamento de Protección Ambiental de las Actividades Eléctricas, a regulation which specifically governs the protection of the environment by electricity companies and maximizes the emission standards set from time to time by the governmental authority.  The regulation establishes a number of requirements that need to be satisfied by electricity companies, including reporting requirements, environmental audits and record-keeping of emissions.  Companies that do not comply with the regulation are subject to penalties.  The authorities governing environmental matters are the Dirección General de Asuntos Ambientales, or the General Office of Environmental Matters, which is dependent on the Ministry of Energy and Mines and OSINERG.

 

Electricity distribution companies that were in operation prior to 1994 are required to have a Programa de Adecuación y Manejo Ambiental, or PAMA, or a set of environmental compliance standards to conduct their operations within the maximum allowed limits for gas and liquid emissions and to comply with environmental regulations.  Distribution companies and companies that meet certain minimum standards set by the applicable laws, that began operations after 1994, are required to prepare and obtain the approval by the Ministry of Energy of an environmental impact study that, among others things, meets certain emission limits and other rules applicable to the company.

 

Changes to Electricity Law

 

A Commission created by Law No. 28,447 on December 30, 2004, with representatives from the Energy and Mines Ministry and OSINERG, proposed the “Project of Law to Assure the Efficient Development of Electrical Generation” which was presented to the Peruvian Congress.  We cannot predict the final result of this proposal.

 

73



 

Other Recent Regulatory Changes

 

Article 176 of Electricity Concession Rules and Regulations was modified on March 21, 2003 to establish the maximum interest rate that a distribution company may charge for supplies to regulated consumers that are not paid when due.

 

Article 180 was also modified on November 13, 2003 to establish the maximum costs of interruption of supply for public service that OSINERG could approve.

 

On January 5, 2004, Articles 1 and 5 were modified to establish certain OSINERG functions.  Pursuant to Article 1 of Law 26,734, OSINERG will regulate and supervise the electricity sector’s compliance with technical and legal regulations on public safety.  OSINERG will also inform the appropriate entity or regulator of any violations and sanctions imposed.

 

Articles No. 36, 46, 47, 50, 51 and 52 of the Electrical Concessions Law were modified on December 30, 2004 by the Law 28,447.  The principal changes were:

 

      The node prices will be settled during May of each year.

 

      For the establishment of energy’s node prices, a period of 36 months is considered: 24 future months and twelve historic months.

 

      The projection of the 24 future months considers the offer and demand of foreign interconnections.

Business and Subsidiaries Description

 

Enersis controls subsidiaries engaged in the electricity generation and distribution businesses in South America and wholly owns subsidiaries that provide support services to related and unrelated companies.  The following chart represents Enersis’ economic ownership participation in its main operating subsidiaries and affiliates as of December 31, 2005.

Description of Property

 

In April 2002, Enersis relocated to its new corporate headquarters in Santa Rosa 76, Santiago, Chile, shared with Endesa Chile (see further below) and Chilectra.  In addition, we own 58 properties in Santiago with a total of 64,177 square meters.  Through IMV, we own 19 office buildings and properties in Santiago, a two-acre property in Viña del Mar and a 55% interest in a 2,594 acre plot of land outside of Santiago.

 

We also have significant interests or control of investments in electricity distribution companies in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, where Enersis maintained a total concession area of over 200,000 square kilometers as of December 31, 2005.  The description of each distribution company is included in “Item 4. Information on the Company”.  The table set forth hereunder describes Enersis’ main equipment used for its distribution business, such as transmission lines, power and interconnection substations, distribution networks and transformers.

 

Our distribution facilities are insured, according to international standards, against damage to substations and administration buildings.  Risks covered include losses caused by fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, lightning, damage to machinery and others.  Insurance policies include third-party liability clauses, which cover our companies from complaints made by third parties.  Transmission lines and the equipment attached to them do not qualify as insurable assets in the standard market.

 

Endesa Chile’s main properties in Chile are its 22 electricity generation facilities (detailed in “— Business Overview—Operations in Chile”), in addition to its 27,793 square meter headquarters buildings in Santiago.

 

A substantial portion of Endesa Chile’s cash flow and net income is derived from the sale of electricity produced by its electricity generation facilities.  Significant damage to one or more of Endesa Chile’s main electricity generation facilities or interruption in the production of electricity, whether as a result of an earthquake, flood, volcanic activity or other cause, would have a material adverse effect on Endesa Chile’s operations.  Endesa Chile insures all of its electricity generation facilities against damage due to earthquakes, fires, floods and other similar occurrences and from damage due to third-party actions, based on the appraised value of the facilities as determined from time to time by an independent appraiser.  Based on geological, hydrological and engineering studies, however, Endesa Chile’s management believes that the risk of such an event is remote.  Claims under Endesa Chile’s insurance policies are subject to customary deductibles and other conditions.  Endesa Chile also maintains business interruption insurance providing for coverage for failure of any of its facilities for a period of up to 18 months, commencing after the deductible period.  However, there can be no assurance that such insurance proceeds would be available on a timely basis or would be sufficient to fully compensate for any losses.

 

Endesa Chile also has investments in generating companies in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, which involve a total of 24 generation power plants (detailed in “Item 4B— Business Overview” above).  The insurance coverage taken abroad is approved by the management of each affiliate, taking into account the quality of the insurance companies and the needs, conditions and risk evaluations of each generating facility, and are based on general corporate guidelines given by Endesa Chile.

 

All insurance policies are purchased from reputable international insurers.  The Company continuously monitors the insurance industry in order to obtain what we believe to be the most commercially reasonable coverage and premiums available on the market.

 

The following table identifies the power plants that Endesa Chile is currently operating and their basic characteristics:

Item 5.    Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

 

A.            Operating results.

 

Introduction

 

We are a holding company that owns and operates electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Substantially all of our revenues, income and cash flow comes from our subsidiaries and equity affiliates’ operations in these five countries.

 

Factors such as hydrological conditions, extraordinary actions by government authorities, regulatory developments and economic conditions in each country in which we operate are important in determining our financial results. In addition, our reported results from operations and financial condition are significantly affected by variations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso and other currencies of the countries in which we operate. Such exchange rate variations have a significant non-cash effect due to the implementation of Chilean GAAP’s Technical Bulletin No. 64, “Accounting for Permanent Foreign Investments” in connection with the consolidation of the results of our companies outside of Chile. Lastly, our other critical accounting policies also have a significant effect on our consolidated results from operations.

 

                  Hydrological conditions. A substantial portion of our generation business is dependent upon the hydrological conditions prevailing in the countries where we operate. Our thermal generators, which are fueled with natural gas, coal or diesel, are dispatched to cover peaks in energy demand and any shortfalls of our hydroelectric plants because of insufficient water resources. The use of fuels for the generation of electricity results in higher costs of operations that we would not have to incur otherwise. Accordingly, our results of operation may be adversely affected by low rainfall, although only extreme hydrological conditions actually materially affect our operating results and financial condition. In addition, adverse hydrological conditions at times have led governments to take affirmative steps to regulate the electricity business. (For additional information regarding the effects of hydrological conditions on our results from operations, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — “Risk Relating To Our Operations.”

 

                  Extraordinary actions by government authorities. Our operations are materially affected by extraordinary actions taken by the governments of the countries in which we operate. In the past few years the results from operations of our Argentine, Brazilian and Colombian subsidiaries were affected by actions taken by the governments of those countries. Following are some examples:

 

                    In Argentina, electricity tariffs historically were expressed in U.S. dollars at an exchange of Ar$ 1.00 to U.S.$ 1.00. However, following a devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar from Ar$ 1.00 per U.S.$ 1.00 to Ar$ 3.37 per U.S.$ 1.00 as of December 31, 2002, the Argentine government converted

 

80



 

electricity tariffs to Argentine pesos at the old exchange rate of Ar$ 1.00 to U.S.$ 1.00. As a result of this devaluation and the tariff conversion rate dictated by the Argentine government, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our Argentine revenues declined significantly.

 

                  As a consequence of a severe drought in Brazil, during 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, the Brazilian government imposed restrictions limiting the consumption of electricity in certain provinces where our distribution companies operate. As a result of these restrictions on electricity consumption our distribution subsidiaries experienced a reduction in their revenues.

 

                  In 2002, the Colombian government imposed an extraordinary tax to finance Colombia’s antiterrorist campaign and in 2004, it imposed, for the first time, a 1.2% tax on shareholders’ equity on all Colombian companies which also applied in the year 2005.

 

                  Regulatory developments. The regulatory structure governing our distribution and generation business has a material effect in our results from operations. In particular, regulators in the countries in which we operate set (x) distribution tariffs taking into consideration the costs of energy purchases paid by distribution companies (which distribution companies pass on to their customers) and the “Distribution Added Value”, or VAD and (y) generation tariffs taking into consideration principally the costs of fuels, level of reservoirs, exchange rate, future investments in installed capacity and growth in demand, all of which is intended to reflect investment and operating costs incurred by distribution and generation companies and is meant to allow such companies to earn a regulated level of return on their investments. Accordingly, the earnings of our electricity subsidiaries are determined in significant part by the actions of government regulators. For additional information relating to the regulatory frameworks in the countries in which we operate, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework” included in this annual report.

 

                  Economic conditions. Macroeconomic conditions in the countries in which we operate have a significant effect on our results from operations. For example, when a country experiences sustained economic growth, consumption of electricity by industrial and individual consumers of electricity increases while electricity theft decreases. Other macroeconomic factors such as a devaluation of the local currency in the countries in which we operate may have a negative impact in our results from operations because while most of our revenues are denominated in the currency of the countries in which we operate, our financing and significant other costs such as depreciation are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, devaluation of local currencies against the dollar shrinks our operating margins and increases the cost of capital expenditure plans.

 

Technical Bulletin No. 64

 

Our consolidation of the results of our non-Chilean subsidiaries is governed by Technical Bulletin No. 64. Technical Bulletin No. 64 establishes a mechanism to consolidate the financial results of a non-Chilean company prepared in local GAAP and denominated in local currency into the financial results of its Chilean parent which are prepared in Chilean GAAP and denominated in Chilean pesos. The implementation of Technical Bulletin No. 64 affects the reporting of our results from operations. In particular, exchange rate variations, if significant, can materially affect the amounts of operating revenues and expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements in Chilean GAAP as well as generate material non-operating gains and losses.

 

Technical Bulletin No. 64—Conversion Effect. Technical Bulletin No. 64 requires Enersis to convert the denomination of the financial statements of its non-Chilean subsidiaries from local currency to U.S. dollars and to restate such financial statements into Chilean GAAP after such conversion, including by converting such U.S. dollar amounts into Chilean pesos. We refer to the gain or loss resulting from this balance sheet conversion as the “conversion effect.” In order to convert monetary assets and liabilities of its non-Chilean subsidiaries to U.S. dollars, Enersis must use the U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at period-end. In order to convert Enersis’ equity interests in such subsidiaries as well as such subsidiaries’ non-monetary assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars, Enersis must use the U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at the time when such equity interests or non-monetary assets or liabilities were acquired or incurred.

 

81



 

In addition, Technical Bulletin No. 64 requires income and expense accounts (except for the expenses incurred in connection with depreciation and amortization) of foreign subsidiaries to be converted into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate of the month during which such results or expenses were recorded. All amounts converted from local currency to U.S. dollars are then converted from U.S. dollars to Chilean pesos at the exchange rate applicable at the end of the reporting period. Technical Bulletin No. 64 may have the effect of excluding from our reported financial condition the effect on non-monetary assets of devaluation in the countries in which our subsidiaries and investments are located. For example, the carrying value of our Argentine and Brazilian non-monetary assets increased in 2002 notwithstanding the devaluation of Argentine peso and Brazilian real because these assets are carried at historical dollar value and the dollar appreciated against the Chilean peso in 2002.

 

The currency conversion from local currencies to U.S. dollars can have different effects depending on a foreign subsidiary’s structure of monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities. For example, when a foreign subsidiary has more monetary assets than monetary liabilities, a devaluation of the applicable local currency against the U.S. dollar may result in a loss due to the effects of the currency conversion. On the other hand, the appreciation of the applicable local currency results in a gain. The reverse is also true for foreign subsidiaries with more monetary liabilities than monetary assets, where a devaluation of the applicable local currency against the U.S. dollar may result in a gain, whereas an appreciation may result in a loss. The fluctuations of the exchange rates between the currencies of the countries where we operate and the U.S. dollar, as well as in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar, have materially affected the comparability of our results from operations during the periods discussed below because of this conversion effect.

 

Technical Bulletin No. 64—Equity Hedge. Technical Bulletin No. 64 allows U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of equity in non-Chilean subsidiaries located in unstable countries, to be hedged by the investing company against and limited to the book-value of such equity investments. For purposes of Technical Bulletin No. 64 all the countries where we have investments—Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru—are considered unstable countries. This hedge results in the elimination of the effects of exchange rate variations on the debt incurred in connection with such investments. If the book-value of an equity investment is lower than the U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with its acquisition, the results of the exchange rate fluctuations affecting the amount of U.S. dollar denominated debt that is not hedged are included in determining net income. On the other hand, if the book-value of an equity investment is higher than the U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with its acquisition, then the results of the exchange rate fluctuations affecting the book-value of the equity that is not hedged are recorded in cumulative translation adjustment in a reserve account as part of shareholders’ equity.

 

Critical accounting policies

 

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, which would potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies in the preparation of our Chilean GAAP financial statements are limited to the policies described below. In many cases, Chilean GAAP specifically dictates the accounting treatment of a particular transaction, with no need for management’s judgment in its application. For a summary of significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements, see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company evaluates for impairment the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets, in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. These standards require that an impairment loss be recognized in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows, as compared to current carrying amounts. The most significant estimates made in determining discounted future net cash flow include the selection of appropriate discount rates and the number of years on which to base the cash flow projection, as well as appropriate adjustments to historical results for anticipated operating conditions. As described in greater detail

 

82



 

below, these estimates are subject to meaningful variation from period to period, which could materially affect our analysis of the impairment of our long-lived assets.

 

The number of years included in determining discounted cash flow, in our opinion, is estimable in the case of our generating companies because the number is closely associated with the useful lives of the plants and their equipment. These useful lives are readily determinable based on historical experience and type of power generated. The discount rates used in the analysis vary by country and fluctuate as economic conditions in these countries vary. Therefore, the likelihood of a change in estimate in any given period is high. Adjustments to historical results based on anticipated operating conditions are estimated in light of the current competitive market in the countries in which we do business. These conditions change periodically; therefore, the likelihood of a change in estimate in any given period is high.

 

On the distribution side of our business, the probability of a change in the number of years included in discounted cash flow and the discount rate would be based on the same factors as the generation business.

 

Adjustments to historical results based on anticipated operating conditions in the distribution business depend on underlying assumptions about the tariff regulatory scheme to which our distribution companies are subject. Tariff-setting procedures vary from country to country in the countries in which we do business. Because underlying economic factors and weather conditions affecting the availability of power and global prices for fuel used in producing power may be relatively volatile, it is highly likely that assumptions about anticipated operating conditions may change significantly from period to period.

 

Impairment of goodwill

 

Goodwill includes the cost of acquired subsidiaries and equity investees in excess of the book value of the net assets recorded in connection with acquisitions. Accounting for goodwill requires management to estimate the appropriate amortization period and the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill. The maximum amortization period under Chilean GAAP is 20 years. Factors that are considered in estimating the appropriate amortization period of goodwill include:

 

                  the foreseeable life of the business;

 

                  expected actions by competitors and potential competitors; and

 

                  legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions affecting the useful life.

 

Estimates of these factors are necessarily uncertain and subject to change, which could cause our determination of the appropriate amortization period to change. Under Chilean GAAP, we test goodwill for impairment in the same way as any other long-lived asset. The likelihood of materially different reported results under different conditions or assumptions is similar to that disclosed under Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” for both the generation and the distribution business.

 

Regulatory Asset and Deferred Costs

 

Under Brazilian law Enersis’ distribution subsidiaries in Brazil have recognized as of December 31, 2001 a regulatory asset based on extraordinary tariffs expected to be in effect over a period of approximately three years in order to allow electricity companies to recover losses experienced during the period of energy rationing from June 1, 2001 to March 1, 2002.

 

The regulatory asset recorded by the Company’s distribution subsidiaries (Ampla and Coelce) was Ch$ 34.4 billion as of December 31, 2002 and Ch$ 103.6 billion as of December 31, 2001, each expressed in Ch$ as of December 31, 2005 and recorded as revenue during 2002 and 2001. In order to record this asset, our subsidiaries and other companies in the energy sector have agreed to forfeit any future claim related to the events and regulations derived from the rationing program and increases through the extraordinary tariff.

 

83



 

Additionally, certain costs, including fuel costs, energy transfer costs, and generator transmission costs were deferred by Ampla and Coelce for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively and amounted to Ch$ 25.5 billion and Ch$ 33.9 billion, respectively. These costs will be recovered through future billings.

 

We assume that the remaining regulatory asset and deferred costs will be collected through future billings during the established period of recovery. That assumption is based on an historical analysis of the costs recovered to date in relation to the period of recovery expired compared to the unrecovered costs and the period remaining to recover them, assuming these events will occur ratably over time. Tariff-setting regulation changes could materially affect our assumptions about recovery.

 

Estimation of fair value of certain energy contracts under U.S. GAAP

 

Certain of our generation and distribution commodity contracts are accounted for as derivatives under U.S. GAAP and are required to be accounted for at fair value. Estimates of fair values of these contracts, for which no quoted prices or secondary market exists, are made using valuation techniques such as forward pricing models, present value of estimated future cash flows, and other modeling techniques. These estimates of fair value include assumptions made by the Company about market variables that may change in the future. Changes in assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimate of fair values disclosed. As a result, such fair value amounts are subject to significant volatility and are highly dependent on the quality of the assumptions used.

 

Our purchase and sale interconnection contracts are for periods up to 20 years in complex markets, where no similar-term forward market information is available. We have estimated the fair values of these contracts based on the best information available; however, with different assumptions regarding interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, electricity rates and cost trends, materially different fair values could result. As a result, such estimates are highly volatile and dependent upon the assumptions used.

 

Litigation and Contingencies

 

The Company is currently involved in certain legal and tax proceedings. As discussed in note 30 of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims. This estimate has been developed by consulting legal and tax counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Pension and post-retirement benefits liabilities

 

We sponsor several defined benefit plans for employees. These plans pay benefits to employees at retirement using formulas based on participants’ years of service and compensation. We provide certain additional benefits for certain retired employees as well.

 

Recorded pensions and other post-retirement benefit liabilities reflect our best estimate of the future cost of honoring our obligations under these benefit plans. In accounting for defined benefit plans, actuarial calculations are made. These calculations contain key assumptions, which include: employee turnover, mortality and retirement ages, discount rates, expected returns on assets, future salary and benefit level, claim rates under medical plans and future medical cost. These assumptions change as market and economic conditions change and any change in any of these assumptions could have a material effect on our reported results from operations. Once every three years we review the key assumptions used in the determination of the pension obligation plan assets and net periodic pension cost as prescribed by Technical Bulletin No. 8.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets” effectively amending Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and eliminates the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, replacing APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless impracticable. The statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used and redefines restatement as revising previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. The new standard is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments

 

On November 2, 2005, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which nullifies certain requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” and supersedes EITF Abstracts Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Upon the Planned Sale of a Security whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.”  The guidance in this FSP will be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination

 

At the June 15 and 16 EITF meeting, and further modified at the September 15, 2005 meeting, the EITF discussed Issue 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination,” (“EITF 05-6”), and concluded on the appropriate amortization periods for leasehold improvements either acquired in a business combination or which were not preexisting and were placed in service significantly after, and not contemplated at, the beginning of the lease term. This Issue is effective for leasehold improvements (that are within the scope of this Issue) that are purchased or acquired in

 

85



 

reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of EITF 05-6 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrument—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” The new statement:

 

a)             permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;

 

b)            clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”;

 

c)             establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;

 

d)            clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and

 

e)             amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

 

SFAS 155 generally is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Enersis’ Results from Operations for the Years Ended

 

December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005

 

Overview

 

Our 2005 results, when compared to those of 2004, were mainly affected by the following factors:

 

                  Physical sales in our distribution companies increased by 5.6% to 55,248 GWh in 2005. Physical sales in generation increased by 10.4% to 59,017 GWh. These increases reflect a continued economic recovery in all the economies of the countries in which we operate. Our number of distribution clients increased by 3.1% to 11.2 million in 2005.

 

                    Our operating income increased by Ch$ 132.4 billion, or 19.7%, to Ch$ 805.3 billion in 2005, primarily due to improved results of our distribution subsidiaries in Colombia and Brazil, as well as our generation companies in Chile and Brazil. If we were to eliminate the negative impact in Chilean pesos of the 8.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the United States dollar (from Ch$ 557.40 per dollar as of December 31, 2004 to Ch$ 512.50 per dollar as of December 31, 2005), operating income would have increased by 28.6%. As of October 2005, with the creation of the Endesa Brazil holding company, Enersis began consolidating Endesa Fortaleza and CIEN. If we were to give pro forma effect to such consolidation as of a year earlier for comparative purposes, operating income would have increased by 17.6%. See note 2(a)(iii) to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, had it not been for the appreciation of the Chilean peso mentioned above, operating income would have increased by 23.6%. Other regional currencies with important exchange rate fluctuations include the Colombian peso, which appreciated 11.7%, and the Brazilian real, which appreciated 16.8%, in both cases against the U.S. dollar. These changes offset in part the negative effect of the Chilean peso appreciation. We believe that it is helpful to eliminate the effects of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar and to give pro forma effect to the formation of Endesa Brasil in order to understand the underlying trends in our operating

income. (For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP” below.)

 

                  Tax expenses increased by Ch$ 36.1 billion, from Ch$ 142.2 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 178.3 billion in 2005, partly due to incremental Ch$ 64.3 billion in tax expenses, primarily attributed to additional taxable income arising from our foreign subsidiaries, which was partially offset by Ch$ 28.2 billion of non-cash deferred tax expense.

Revenues from operations

 

Our revenues from operations are derived principally from electricity generation and distribution. Generation revenues are derived mainly from the sale of electricity that we generate. Distribution revenues are derived primarily from the resale of electricity purchased from generators. Resale of electricity revenues consist of revenues related to the recovery of the cost of wholesale electricity purchased from electricity generation companies and Value Added from Distribution, or VAD, revenues, which relate to the recovery of costs and return on investment with respect to distribution assets as well as allowed losses under tariff regulations. Other revenues from our distribution services consist of charges related to new connections and maintenance and leases of meters.

 

The table below presents the distribution business segment breakdown for physical sales of electricity by our subsidiaries, arranged by country, and their corresponding changes for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.

Distribution business revenues from operations

 

In Chile, Chilectra’s 2005 operating revenues were Ch$ 593.2 billion, an increase of Ch$ 74.0 billion, or 14.3% compared to 2004, primarily because energy-related average prices increased 14.0% due to the increase in the node price. In addition there was a 4.7% increase in physical sales, which reached 11,851 GWh in 2005. Non-energy revenues associated with ancillary services decreased by Ch$ 2.5 billion, or 5.2%, to Ch$ 44.9 billion in 2005 compared with Ch$ 47.4 billion in 2004, due to the tariff-setting process for such services. Our Chilean electricity regulators also establish prices for ancillary services associated with electricity companies like ours. The increase in physical sales is partially attributable to a 2.2% increase in average consumption in Chilectra’s concession area.

 

In Argentina, Edesur’s 2005 operating revenues were Ch$ 234.5 billion, an increase of Ch$ 18.0 billion, or 8.3%, compared to 2004, primarily because of a 19.2% increase in the average sales price in local currency, as well as due to a 5.2% increase in physical sales, which reached 14,018 GWh in 2005. Average per capita consumption increased by 4.1%, and the total number of customers increased by 26,000 customers, or 1.2%. The 8.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar had the effect of lowering operating revenues by Ch$ 23.5 billion when expressed in Chilean GAAP.

 

In Peru, our subsidiary Distrilima, which consolidates Edelnor, reflected operating revenue increases of Ch$ 3.3 billion, or a 1.8% increase, in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily because of a 6.6% increase in physical sales, which

 

89



 

reached 4,530 GWh in 2005. Average per capita consumption increased by 5.0% in 2005 while the average sales’ prices increased by 4.0% in local currency. When expressed in Chilean GAAP, these positive factors were partially offset by the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar, which in turn was partially offset by the appreciation of the Peruvian sol against the dollar. The net effect of these currency accounting adjustments was a reduction of Ch$ 14.6 billion in 2005.

 

In Brazil, revenues associated with Ampla increased by Ch$ 108.4 billion in 2005, or 29.5%, primarily due to a 10.1% increase in the average sales price in local currency, in addition to an increase of 7.2% in physical sales, reaching 8,175 GWh. In addition, Ampla’s 2005 revenues expressed in U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate convention, subsequently converted into Chilean pesos at the year-end exchange rate in accordance with Chilean GAAP, increased due to the 16.8% appreciation of the real against the dollar, which was partially offset by the concurrent 8.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar. The net effect of these accounting adjustments was higher revenues of Ch$ 38.5 billion in 2005. Ampla’s customer base increased by 4.8%, from 2.1 million customers in 2004 to 2.2 million in 2005.

 

Also in Brazil, Coelce’s 2005 revenues increased by Ch$ 62.6 billion, or 22.8%, primarily because of a 10.9% increase in the average sales price in local currency as well as a 7.1% increase in physical sales, which reached 6,580 GWh. As with Ampla, Coelce’s results after giving effect to exchange rate changes in accordance with Chilean GAAP include a net positive increase of Ch$ 25.6 billion. Ampla’s clients increased by 4.5%, from 2.3 million customers in 2004 to 2.4 million in 2005.

 

In Colombia, Codensa’s 2005 revenues increased by Ch$ 14.8 billion, or 3.9%, primarily because of a 4.5% increase in physical sales, to 10,094 GWh in 2005, as well as to a 0.4% increase in average sales’ prices in local currency. When expressed in Chilean GAAP, these figures were increased due to the 11.7% appreciation of the Colombian peso against the dollar, but partially offset by the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar, and the net positive effect was Ch$ 3.4 billion. Codensa’s clients increased by 2.9%, to 2.1 million in 2005, while average per capita electricity consumption increased by 2.1% from 4.84 MWh in 2004 to 4.94 MWh in 2005.

 

Generation business revenues from operations

 

Revenues from 2005 sales in Chile increased by Ch$ 70.2 billion, or 15.1%, primarily because of a 12.3% increase in physical sales, reaching 20,731 GWh, as well as 0.3% increase in average sales’ prices. The increase in prices is attributable primarily to the increase in the regulated node price and to the average market spot prices. The higher sales’ volume is due mostly to the good hydrological conditions prevailing in the second half of 2005, which permitted an increase in hydroelectric generation.

 

In Argentina, Endesa Costanera’s revenues decreased by 4.6%, from Ch$ 122.9 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 117.3 billion in 2005. The decrease in revenues is attributable primarily to lower capacity-related revenues from our interconnection business with Brazil, partially offset by a 6.2% increase in physical sales, which reached 8,466 GWh in 2005. The effect of the 8.1% Chilean peso appreciation against the dollar, partially offset by the concurrent 0.3% appreciation of the Argentine peso against the dollar, had a net effect of Ch$ 13.4 billion in lower revenues in 2005, in accordance with Chilean GAAP.

 

Argentina’s El Chocón increased revenues by Ch$ 8.8 billion, or 28.8%, primarily because physical sales increased by 13.3%, reaching 4,113 GWh in 2005, which in turn is explained by the improved hydrological conditions of the Comahue zone, as well as to 2005 prices that increased over those in 2004. The net effect for El Chocón of the appreciation of both the Chilean peso and the Argentine peso against the dollar was a decrease of Ch$ 3.3 billion in 2005 revenues.

 

In Colombia, Emgesa’s revenues decreased by 1.5%, from Ch$ 223.2 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 219.9 billion in 2005, primarily due to a 2.0% decrease in physical sales and to slightly lower average sales prices in local currency. The net currency effect was Ch$ 0.6 billion in higher revenues under Chilean GAAP.

 

Also in Colombia, Betania’s 2005 revenues increased by Ch$ 1.7 billion, or 4.6%, because of an 8.0% increase in physical sales, reaching 2,737 GWh in 2005, partially offset by lower average sales prices. The accounting effect of the foreign currency conversions amounted to Ch$ 0.4 billion in higher revenues.

 

90



 

In Brazil, Cachoeira Dourada’s revenues increased by 24.4%, from Ch$ 43.5 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 54.1 billion in 2005, primarily because of a 11.7% increase in sales prices in local currency terms, which in turn were attributable to a tariff adjustment for CELG in September 2005, partially offset by physical sales which decreased by 0.9%, reaching 3,867 GWh. The net currency effect under Chilean GAAP amounted to an increase of Ch$ 4.2 billion in revenues.

 

Commencing October 2005, with the creation of our holding company, Endesa Brasil, Enersis consolidates Central Geradora Termeléctrica Endesa Fortaleza S.A. (“CGTF”), among others. CGTF’s 2005 operating revenues amounted to Ch$ 104.2 billion, an increase of 9.1% over Ch$ 92.2 billion in 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to the 16.8% appreciation of the real against the dollar, partially offset by the 8.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar. Physical sales amounted to 2,690 GWh for all of 2005, unchanged since 2004 because CGTF has only one contract with its client Coelce. The average sales price decreased in 2005. Enersis recognized consolidated operating income of Ch$ 30.3 billion only for the last quarter of 2005, with 678 GWh in sales.

 

In Peru, Edegel’s revenues decreased by 7.9%, from Ch$ 127.8 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 117.7 billion in 2005, primarily due to a decrease in average prices, partially offset with an increase of 6.3% in higher physical sales, reaching 4,600 GWh in 2005. The net effect of the appreciation of both the Chilean peso and the Peruvian sol against the dollar was a 2005 revenue reduction of Ch$ 10.3 billion under Chilean GAAP.

 

Transmission business operating revenues

 

As with CGTF, Enersis also began consolidating CIEN through Endesa Brasil in the last quarter of 2005. For all of 2005, CIEN’s revenues for 2005 amounted to Ch$ 144.2 billion, a 31.5% reduction in relation to the prior year. CIEN sold 6,567 GWh, 16.2% less than in 2004 as a consequence of the Argentine decrease in energy exports, as well as due to lower average sales prices. For the last quarter of 2005, Enersis recognized consolidated operating income arising from CIEN for an amount of Ch$ 28.0 billion, and physical sales of 1,467 GWh.

 

Revenues from non-electricity subsidiaries

 

Revenues arising from our non-electricity subsidiaries increased by Ch$ 21.1 billion in 2005, an 11.3% increase compared to 2004, primarily explained by Ch$ 21.1 billion in higher income from CAM, which was explained by new infrastructure projects including a Ch$ 5.6 billion project with the government-owned railroad, a Ch$ 4.6 billion project with the Santiago subway, and a Ch$ 2.3 billion project with Spence. In addition, CAM posted Ch$ 6.3 billion in higher revenues from electricity engineering services, and Ch$ 2.0 billion in revenues from measurement systems and rental of electricity meters.

Distribution business operating costs

 

Operating costs in Chile increased by Ch$ 74.9 billion, or 20.8%, during 2005, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with energy purchases which rose by Ch$ 72.4 billion, explained by (i) an increase in physical sales of 12,547 GWh, or 6.1% and (ii) an increase in the average price of purchases of 21.0% due to the node price increase. Physical losses increased from 5.2% in 2004 to 5.5% in 2005.

 

92



 

Operating costs of Edesur, in Argentina, increased by Ch$ 13.7 billion, or 7.3%, explained primarily by energy purchase cost increases, which in turn was driven by 4.7% in higher energy purchases, which amounted to 15,813 GWh in 2005, in addition to a 30.7% average price increase in electricity purchased, measured in local currency. These cost increases were partially offset by a Ch$ 6.4 billion reduction in fixed asset depreciation. Energy losses arising from theft and vandalism decreased from 11.8% in 2004 to 11.4% in 2005. Edesur’s cost increases were partially offset, in Chilean GAAP terms, by the 8.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar, whose effect was to decrease operating costs by Ch$ 20.6 billion.

 

Operating costs for Distrilima, in Peru, increased by Ch$ 3.5 billion, or 2.4%, primarily because of the higher costs of energy purchased, which rose by Ch$ 4.3 billion as a result of a 6.8% increase in physical energy purchases, reaching 4,956 GWh in 2005, and a 5.3% increase in the average price of energy purchased in terms of local currency. The net effect of the foreign currency adjustments under Chilean GAAP came to a cost reduction of Ch$ 11.4 billion in 2005. Depreciation expenses decreased by Ch$ 0.9 billion as well. Physical energy losses were 8.6% in 2005, higher than the 8.4% level achieved in 2004.

 

Operating costs for Ampla, in Brazil, increased by Ch$ 69.9 billion, or 23.0%, primarily due to an increase in the cost of energy purchased, which in turn is attributable to an 11.1% increase in average purchase prices in local currency, as well as to a 6.6% increase in physical purchases. The net foreign currency accounting adjustment represented an increase in costs of Ch$ 22.0 billion. Physical energy losses fell from 22.8% in 2004 to 22.4% in 2005 as a result of management’s efforts to reduce such losses.

 

Operating costs in Coelce, also in Brazil, decreased by Ch$ 0.6 billion, or 0.3%, in 2005, due to a Ch$ 6.2 billion decrease in the costs of energy purchased, which was driven by a 10.5% decrease in the average price of energy purchased, in local currency, partially offset by a 7.3% increase in physical energy purchases. The foreign exchange adjustments led to Ch$ 8.0 billion in higher costs under Chilean GAAP. Depreciation expenses decreased by Ch$ 3.3 billion. Physical energy losses were 14.0% in 2005 compared to 13.9% in 2004. Despite the increase in energy losses, the absolute level is significantly lower than for Ampla. Coelce’s concession area does not have the same socioeconomic difficulties as that of Ampla, but its area is so large that significant loss reductions are difficult to achieve for technical reasons.

 

Operating costs in Codensa, in Colombia, decreased by Ch$ 10.5 billion, or 3.7%, in 2005, primarily because of the Ch$ 1.8 billion decrease in the cost of energy purchased as a consequence of the 4.9% reduction in average prices, partially offset by an increase of 4.3% in physical energy purchases. Depreciation expenses decreased by Ch$ 5.8 billion. The effect of foreign exchange adjustments under Chilean GAAP amounted to a decrease in costs of Ch$ 4.5 billion. Energy losses fell from 9.7% in 2004 to 9.4% in 2005.

 

Generation business operating costs

 

Operating costs in Chile in 2005 increased by Ch$ 29.8 billion, or 10.2% compared to 2004, primarily due to higher costs of fuels because of the impact of natural gas export shortfalls from Argentina, compounded by a delay in the arrival of the rainy period, which commenced in June. The costs of energy and power purchased increased by Ch$ 10 billion, from Ch$ 55.0 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 65 billion in 2005, as a consequence of the increase in physical energy purchased, which rose 18.5%, or 354 GWh.

 

Operating costs for Endesa Costanera, in Argentina, increased by 27.5% in 2005, to Ch$ 117.5 billion, primarily due to a 6.9% increase in thermal generation, reaching 8,402 GWh in 2005, which caused an increase in variable costs of Ch$ 28.3 billion, reaching Ch$ 87.5 billion as of December 2005. The increase in variable costs is explained by Ch$ 25.7 billion in higher costs due to fuel purchases. This was partially compensated by the foreign exchange accounting adjustment of a reduction of Ch$ 10.0 billion in costs.

 

Operating costs for Emgesa, in Colombia, decreased by 3.6%, to Ch$ 111.2 billion in 2005 from Ch$ 115.3 billion in 2004. Total physical generation was 2.6% lower in 2005, equivalent to a reduction of 256 GWh, which comes from a reduction of 425 GWh in hydroelectric energy and a 160 GWh increase in thermoelectric generation.  This explained an increase in the cost of fuels of Ch$ 1.5 billion, as well as Ch$ 5.4 billion in incremental transport and toll expenses. Energy purchase costs decreased by Ch$ 8.3 billion as a result of the lower average prices in the spot market, notwithstanding a 16 GWh increase in purchases, for a total of 2,703 GWh purchased in 2005. Foreign

 

93



 

exchange adjustments for Emgesa, under Chilean GAAP, contributed to a decrease of Ch$ 2.8 billion in operating costs.

 

Operating costs for Betania, also in Colombia, increased by Ch$ 3.5 billion, or 18.6%, reaching Ch$ 22.1 billion in 2005. This is primarily due to greater energy purchases for Ch$ 3.9 billion and greater toll and transport charges for Ch$ 0.4 billion. Foreign exchange adjustments for Betania amounted to Ch$ 0.5 billion.

 

Operating costs for CGTF, in Brazil, decreased by Ch$ 11.6 billion, or 18.7%, from Ch$ 61.8 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 50.2 billion in 2005 primarily due to lower variable costs, which decreased by Ch$ 10.5 billion as a result of the decrease in production of 73.8%, going from generation of 1,322 GWh in 2004 to 347 GWh in 2005. Enersis recognized operating costs for CGTF for the last quarter of 2005 of Ch$ 14.4 billion.

 

Operating costs in Edegel, in Peru, decreased by 16.1%, or Ch$ 10.7 billion, reaching Ch$ 55.4 billion in 2005 compared to Ch$ 66.1 billion in 2004, primarily due to the decrease of costs associated with fuel purchases, of Ch$ 8.3 billion, which in turn is explained by the use of Camisea natural gas in lieu of diesel, with an important reduction in thermal fuel costs. Production increased by 9.2%, or 380 GWh, reaching 4,516 GWh in 2005. The costs associated with purchases of energy and power decreased by Ch$ 2.3 billion because of the decrease in average purchase prices. Net foreign exchange adjustments had an effect of lowering costs by Ch$ 6.1 billion in 2005.

 

Transmission business operating expenses

 

CIEN’s operating expenses for all of 2005 were Ch$ 112.1 billion, a 25.8% decrease when compared to 2004, primarily due to a 13.2% reduction in physical electricity purchases, reaching 6,625 GWh in 2005. CIEN purchased less energy primarily because of the interconnection problem arising from Argentine export contracts. CIEN purchased less energy because of the lower amount of export electricity available from Argentina. Enersis recognized Ch$ 13.7 billion in operating costs for CIEN during the last quarter of 2005.

 

Operating costs for non-electricity subsidiaries

 

Operating costs for our non-electricity subsidiaries increased Ch$ 20.5 billion, or 13.7%, in 2005, primarily due to a Ch$ 19.1 billion increase for CAM. CAM’s higher costs reflect the new projects undertaken in 2005, as well as the higher level of engineering services.

 

Selling and administrative expenses

 

Selling and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries, general administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, uncollectible accounts and materials and office supplies.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased 23.1%, or Ch$ 42.3 billion, from Ch$ 183.0 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 225.3 billion in 2005. This is primarily due to increases in Coelce for Ch$ 20.1 billion, in Codensa for Ch$ 10.4 billion, in Ampla for Ch$ 7.0 billion, and in Cachoeira Dourada for Ch$ 3.0 billion. The increases are primarily due to provisions for uncollectible amounts, which in the case of Coelce, represented an increase of Ch$ 15.2 billion, which affected management’s annual assessment as to the recoverability of regulatory assets recorded in 2001. In the case of Codensa, the increase in uncollectible debt related to public lighting for several years reached Ch$ 8.3 billion. The uncollectible amount increases also include Ch$ 6.2 billion for Ampla, and Ch$ 2.8 billion for Cachoeira Dourada.

Non-operating expenses increased by Ch$ 7.1 billion, or 1.8%, from Ch$ 397.9 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 405.0 billion in 2005.

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased from Ch$ 296.8 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 260.5 billion in 2005, a reduction of Ch$ 36.3 billion, or 12.2%. Lower interest expense is primarily due to lower charges associated with fees on our refinancing or with credit prepayments that had been amortized over a longer period. In addition, we had more interest income as a result of investing surplus cash.

 

Income from our unconsolidated related companies decreased by Ch$ 25.5 billion, from net income of Ch$ 32.3 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 6.7 billion in 2005, primarily due to lower income recognized by CIEN for Ch$ 14.4 billion and by CGTF for Ch$ 6.4 billion since we started consolidating those companies in the last quarter of 2005, and therefore this line item reflects only the first nine months of the year. In addition, Inversiones Eléctricas Quillota had Ch$ 3.4 billion in lower income.

 

Other non-operating income includes a cost reduction of Ch$ 7.5 billion, which contributed to a change in net loss from Ch$ 92.3 billion in 2004 to a net loss of Ch$ 84.8 billion in 2005. The primary reasons for this change are detailed below:

 

                  Higher income arising from adjustment to Chilean accounting norms, in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 64, and in particular the currency conversion adjustment, primarily arising from our subsidiaries in Colombia, Brazil and Peru, for an amount of Ch$ 34.1 billion. The Brazilian and Colombian local currencies appreciated significantly against the dollar.

 

                  Higher compensations received of Ch$ 4.6 billion.

 

                  Lower losses associated with provisions for fixed asset obsolescence, for Ch$ 10.6 billion.

 

                  Lower losses due to power and energy invoice adjustments of Ch$ 13.2 billion.

 

All of the above were partially offset by the following:

 

                  Lower reversals for provisions for Ch$ 43.1 billion.

 

                  Non-recurrence of the Alstom-Pirelli reimbursement associated with Edesur’s Azopardo substation fire incident several years before, for Ch$ 7.9 billion received in 2004.

 

                  Higher taxes due to a social integration program (“PIS”) and a social security program (“Cofins”) in Brazil for Ch$ 3.0 billion.

 

Net monetary exposure consists of the effects of foreign exchange movements and price level restatement on the balance sheet of Enersis and its consolidated subsidiaries. Net monetary exposure led to losses of Ch$ 11.2 billion in 2005 compared to a gain of Ch$ 14.1 billion in 2004. This is due to the exchange rate differences which reveal a net negative variation of Ch$ 21.2 billion, decreasing from a gain of Ch$ 14.9 billion in 2004 to a loss of Ch$ 4.0 billion in 2005. This variation is primarily due to the income in the first half of 2004 related to settling of forwards for Ch$ 4.0 billion and to the effect of remaining in a long position in U.S. dollars during 2005. Monetary correction in the balance sheet presents a decline of Ch$ 4.1 billion primarily due to the effect of the inflation

adjustment of the U.F. in debt denominated in such currency, and of U.F./U.S.$ swap contracts executed in the second quarter of 2004, which led to higher UF-linked debt during 2005.

Accrued 2005 income taxes payable in 2006 increased by Ch$ 64.3 billion to Ch$ 132.0 billion compared to Ch$ 67.7 billion in 2004 as a result of improved results by our subsidiaries, and are broken down as follows: Ch$ 7.8 billion for CGTF, Ch$ 5.7 billion for Edesur, Ch$ 5.5 billion for Chilectra, Ch$ 5.1 billion for Coelce, Ch$ 5.0 billion for Ampla, Ch$ 4.7 billion for CIEN, Ch$ 4.2 billion for Codensa, Ch$ 3.6 billion for Edelnor, Ch$ 3.7 billion for Elesur and Ch$ 2.3 billion for Edegel, all of which were partially offset by a tax recovery of Ch$ 12.6 billion for Enersis.

 

Deferred taxes, which are non-cash items, decreased by Ch$ 28.2 billion, and led to positive variations of Ch$ 12.2 billion for Edelnor, Ch$ 11.8 billion for Endesa Costanera, Ch$ 9.5 billion for Edegel, Ch$ 7.8 billion for Edesur, Ch$ 5.5 billion for CIEN and Ch$ 2.1 billion for CGTF, all of which were partially offset by an increase in deferred taxes of Ch$ 19.0 billion for Chilectra and Ch$ 8.7 billion for Endesa Chile.

 

The gain due to the amortization of negative goodwill decreased by Ch$ 2.2 billion in 2005, going from Ch$ 17.7 billion in 2005 to Ch$ 15.5 billion in 2004. The reduced amortization is primarily due to the effect of the exchange rate of the dollar against the Chilean peso for foreign subsidiaries carried in U.S. dollars, and which have negative goodwill.

 

97



 

As a result of all the foregoing, our consolidated net income increased from Ch$ 45.9 billion in 2004 to Ch$ 68.0 billion in 2005, an increase of Ch$ 22.1 billion, or 48.2%.

 

Enersis’ Results from Operations for the Years Ended
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004

 

Overview

 

Our 2004 results, when compared to those of 2003, were mainly affected by the following factors:

 

                  our operating income increased by Ch$ 91.2 billion, or 15.7 %, to Ch$ 673.0 billion in 2004, principally reflecting increased operating income at our generation subsidiaries in Colombia and Brazil, and our distribution companies in Colombia and, to a lesser extent, Argentina. If we eliminate the negative impact of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the United States dollar in 2004, operating income would have increased by 21.0 %. In 2004, the Colombian peso appreciated by 8.6%, the Brazilian real appreciated by 4.9% and the Peruvian sol appreciated by 1.9%, all against the U.S. dollar, which offset in part the negative impact of the appreciation of the Chilean peso. We believe that it is helpful to eliminate the effects of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in order to understand the underlying trend in our operating income. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP, see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP” below.

 

                  Physical sales in our distribution operations increased by 5.5% to 52,314 GWh in 2004. Physical sales in generation also increased by 5.5% to 53,444 GWh in 2004. These increases reflect an economic recovery in all the economies of the countries in which we operate. Our number of distribution clients increased by 4.2% to 11.3 million at the end of 2004.

 

                  Our non-operating results improved by Ch$ 85.2 billion, or 17.6%, from a loss of Ch$ 483.1 billion in 2003 to a loss of Ch$ 397.9 billion in 2004. This is attributable primarily to lower interest expense, the effects of foreign exchange movements, and income from unconsolidated investments.

 

                  Tax expenses increased by Ch$ 98.0 billion, from Ch$ 44.1 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 142.2 billion in 2004, partly due to an increase of Ch$ 137.3 billion of non-cash deferred tax expense. This increase was partly offset by Ch$ 39.3 billion in tax expense.

Revenues from operations

 

Our revenues from operations are derived principally from electricity generation and distribution. Generation revenues are derived mainly from the sale of electricity we generate. Distribution revenues are derived primarily from the resale of electricity purchased from generators. Resale of electricity revenues consist of revenues related to the recovery of the cost of wholesale electricity purchased from electricity generation companies and Value Added from Distribution, or VAD, revenues, which relate to the recovery of costs and return on investment with respect to distribution assets as well as allowed losses under tariff regulations. Other revenues from our distribution services consist of charges related to new connections and maintenance and leases of meters.

Distribution business revenues from operations

 

In Chile, revenues from operations from our electricity distribution subsidiary, Chilectra, increased by Ch$ 43.4 billion, or 9.1%, in 2004 from 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to a 7.6% increase in physical sales which, in turn, reflected a 5.2% increase in average consumption per customer in the two periods under comparison. The average price of electricity sold by Chilectra increased 0.7% in 2004.

Revenues from our non-electric subsidiaries increased by Ch$ 4.3 billion, principally reflecting a Ch$ 6.6 billion increase in revenues of CAM due to higher sales of materials and services. This effect was offset in part by decreases at Manso de Velasco of Ch$ 1.3 billion, and at Synapsis of Ch$ 1.0 billion. Revenues at Manso de Velasco declined in 2004 because certain real estate projects came to an end, and Synapsis’ revenues declined principally because we did not provide services to INP in 2004.

 

Revenues from our Argentine distribution subsidiary, Edesur, increased by Ch$ 21.2 billion, or 10.8%, reaching Ch$ 216.5 billion in 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to a 10.8% increase in the average price of sales in local currency, and a 5.3% increase in physical sales, to 13,322 GWh in 2004. Average electricity consumption per customer increased by 4.2%. The benefit of these increases was partly offset by a Ch$ 15.9 billion reduction in revenues as a result of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso in 2004.

 

Revenues from our Peruvian holding company, Distrilima, which consolidates our Peruvian distribution company Edelnor, increased by Ch$ 2.1 billion, or 1.1%, in 2004 as compared to 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to a 7.1% increase in physical sales, to 4,250 GWh in 2004. In addition, Distrilima’s 2004 revenues expressed in U.S. dollars, using the average exchange rate convention of Technical Bulletin 64, increased as a consequence of the 1.9% appreciation of the Peruvian sol, when compared to 2003. Average per capita consumption of electricity increased 4.7% in 2004. These positive factors were partly offset by the adverse effect of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar, which amounted to Ch$ 15.7 billion in 2004.

 

Revenues from our Brazilian electricity distribution company, Ampla, increased by Ch$ 30.2 billion in 2004, or 8.9%, primarily due to a 16.2% increase in the average price of sales in 2004 in local currency terms, as well as higher physical sales, which grew from by 4.8% to 7,628 GWh in 2004. In addition, Ampla’s 2004 revenues expressed in U.S. dollars, using the average exchange rate convention increased as a consequence of the 4.9% appreciation of the Brazilian real, when compared to 2003. The number of customers increased by 5.1%, from 2.0 million in 2003 to 2.1 million in 2004. These positive factors were partly offset by the adverse effect of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar during 2004, which amounted to Ch$ 28.4 billion.

 

Operating revenues from our other Brazilian distribution company, Coelce, increased by Ch$ 53.7 billion, or 24.4%, in 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to a 28.9% increase in the average price of sales in local currency, and a 4.0% increase in physical sales, to 6,141 GWh in 2004. In addition, as with Ampla, Coelce’s 2004 revenues expressed in U.S. dollars, increased as a consequence of the 4.9% appreciation of the Brazilian real against the dollar, when compared to 2003. These positive factors were partly offset by the adverse effect of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar during 2004, which amounted to Ch$ 18.5 billion.

 

In Colombia, revenues from our electricity distribution company, Codensa, increased by Ch$ 68.4 billion, or 22.1%, over 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to a 12.1% increase in the average price of sales in local currency, and a 4.3% increase in physical sales, to 9,656 GWh in 2004. In addition, our 2004 revenues expressed in U.S. dollars, using the average exchange rate convention increased as a consequence of the 8.6% appreciation of the Colombian peso, when compared to 2003. The number of customers increased by 2.2%, to 2.0 million in 2004, while average electricity consumption rose by 2.1%. These positive factors were partly offset by the adverse effect of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar during 2004, which amounted to Ch$ 26.1 billion.

 

Generation business revenues from operations

 

Revenues from sales in Chile accounted for 45.3% and 49.8% of our consolidated revenues in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Revenues from sales of electricity in Argentina accounted for 14.4% of our consolidated revenues in 2004 as compared to 12.1% in 2003. Revenues from sales of electricity in Colombia accounted for 24.3% in 2004 as compared to 22.6% in 2003 and revenues from sales of electricity in Brazil accounted for 4.1% in 2004 as compared to 3.3% in 2003. In addition, revenues from sales of electricity in Perú accounted for 11.9% in 2004 as compared to 12.1% in 2003. Other, non-core business revenues accounted for less than 5% of total consolidated revenues in both 2003 and 2004.

 

Total revenues in Chile decreased 0.4% in 2004 due to lower sales of non generation businesses, mainly at Ingendesa, our engineering services subsidiary in Chile. Revenues from sales of electricity increased by 0.2% to Ch$ 456.6 billion in 2004 from Ch$ 455.7 billion in 2003. The increase in electricity sales reflected a 1.3% increase

 

101



 

in the average sales price, from Ch$ 24.4 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 24.8 per kWh in 2004, due to increases in the regulated node price and the average spot market price. The price increase effect was offset by the reduced volume of electricity sales, which declined 1.2% in 2004. The lower level of volume sales was a consequence of the level of contractual commitments and hydrology. The lower hydro generation due to the level of hydrology in reservoirs and rivers was partly offset by thermal generation and the successful start up of the 690 MW Ralco power plant, which began operations in September 2004 and supplied nearly 1,300 GWh at December 31, 2004. Spot market GWh sales increased 9.3% from 2,920 GWh in 2003 to 3,192 GWh in 2004 while sales to contracted customers declined 3.1%.

 

Revenues in Argentina increased by 30.0%, from Ch$ 118.2 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 153.6 billion in 2004. The increase in revenues was primarily due to 25.3% increase in the volume of electricity sales. The main drivers of this increase are greater demand for electricity in the Argentine market and Endesa Costanera’s ability to generate electricity with liquid fuels as an alternative to natural gas when the natural gas supply in Argentina is in crisis. Volume sales at our Chocón plant in 2004 were 22.4% lower than in 2003 due to less favorable water levels. The Company’s average sales price in Argentina expressed in Chilean pesos according to the convention of Technical Bulletin 64 increased 4%, from Ch$ 12.7 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 13.3 in 2004. However, when expressed in Argentine local currency, the nominal average sales price increased 13% in 2004 due to an increase in the wholesale market spot price.

 

Revenues in Colombia increased by 17.6%, from Ch$ 221.5 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 260.4 billion in 2004. Physical electricity sales increased 4.6% due to higher sales at Emgesa which were driven by market demand and hydrology. Both spot market and contracted energy sales increased in both 2004 and 2003, representing 36% and 64%, respectively, of our total sales in Colombia. The average sales price increased 12.2%, from Ch$ 15.3 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 17.2 per kWh in 2004, expressed in Chilean pesos according to the convention of Technical Bulletin 64. When expressed in local currency, the average sales price increase was 7.8% in 2004.

 

Revenues from our Brazilian subsidiary, Cachoeira Dourada, increased by 33.1% from Ch$ 32.7 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 43.5 billion in 2004. This revenue increase is due to a 3.5% increase in physical sales, which reached 3,902 GWh in 2004, and higher electricity prices. Volume increased due to greater demand and favorable hydroelectric conditions in the southeast. Sales prices were higher in both the spot market and the contracted market. Revenues from Cachoeira Dourada’s main customer, CELG, increased according to the terms of their contractual agreement and also as a result of 14 million reales recognized in June 2004 following the conclusion of a legal dispute regarding revenues not billed during the second semester of 2003. The Company’s overall average sales price increased 20.4% from Ch$ 8.7 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 10.5 per kWh in 2004, expressed in Chilean pesos according to the convention of Technical Bulletin 64 (after adjusting for income in arrears from 2003). In Brazilian local currency, the Company’s average sales price increased by 26.2% during 2004.

 

Revenues from sales of our Peruvian electricity generation company, Edegel, increased by 7.7%, from Ch$ 118.7 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 127.8 billion in 2004. The volume of electricity sales declined due to lower hydro generation as a consequence of poor hydrology in the region, mainly during the first semester of 2004. The average sales price increased from Ch$ 26.5 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 29.3 per kWh in 2004, equivalent to a 10.4% increase, expressed in Chilean pesos according to the convention of Technical Bulletin 64. The average sales price increase in local currency was 18.2% in 2004.

Distribution business operating costs

 

Operating costs in Chile increased by Ch$ 32.8 billion, or 10.0%, during 2004, mainly due to (i) a higher level of energy purchases, which increased by 7.2% to 11,937 GWh in 2004, reflecting higher demand, and (ii) an average purchase price increase of 3.8%. Physical losses decreased 7.1%, from 5.6% in 2003 to 5.2% in 2004. Our non-electricity subsidiaries also experienced an increase in costs of Ch$ 10.7 billion, arising primarily from CAM, explained by an increase in the costs of materials of Ch$ 5.1 billion, and higher wages of Ch$ 2.2 billion.

 

Operating costs of our Argentine subsidiary Edesur increased by Ch$ 16.8 billion, or 9.8%, explained primarily by a 5.2% increase in energy purchased to 15,097 GWh in 2004, as well as a 27.7% increase in the average price of electricity purchased in local currency terms. These cost increases were partly offset by a Ch$ 5.6 billion decrease in depreciation of fixed assets, and a Ch$ 2.2 billion decrease in operation and maintenance costs. Energy losses, arising from theft and vandalism, remained at 11.8% in 2004, the same level as 2003. The increase in average

 

103



 

purchase price was also partly offset by the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in 2004, which led to a decrease in operating costs of Ch$ 14.4 billion.

 

Operating costs of our Peruvian company, Distrilima, which consolidates our electricity distribution company Edelnor, increased by Ch$ 2.2 billion, or 1.5%, primarily because of a 7.2% increase in energy purchases to 4,641 GWh in 2004, and an increase of 1.0% in the average price of energy purchased in local currency forms. In addition, Distrilima’s 2004 operating costs expressed in U.S. dollars, using the average exchange rate convention of Technical Bulletin 64, increased as a consequence of the 1.9% appreciation of the Peruvian sol, when compared to 2003, with the exception of the depreciation of fixed assets, which is carried in nominal U.S. dollars. These factors were partly offset by a Ch$ 0.5 billion reduction in operating and maintenance costs, a Ch$ 0.4 billion decline in fixed asset depreciation, a Ch$ 0.4 billion reduction in costs of services and the effect of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in 2004, which led to a decrease in operating costs of Ch$ 11.8 billion. Energy losses remained constant at 8.4% during the two periods under comparison.

 

Operating costs at Ampla increased by Ch$ 4.1 billion, or 1.4%, primarily because of an 8.4% increase in the average price of energy purchased in local currency terms, a Ch$ 9.9 billion increase in operating and maintenance costs, and a Ch$ 1.5 billion rise in wages and social welfare benefits. Ampla’s 2004 operating cost expressed in U.S. dollars, using the average exchange rate convention of Technical Bulletin 64, increased as a consequence of the 4.9% appreciation of the Brazilian real, when compared to 2003, with the exception of the depreciation of fixed assets carried in nominal U.S. dollars. These increases were partly offset by a Ch$ 3.8 billion decline in depreciation, a 473 GWh reduction in energy purchases and the effect of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in 2004, which led to a decrease in operating costs of Ch$ 25.2 billion. Energy losses decreased from 23.6% in 2003 to 22.8% in 2004, reflecting management’s focus on reducing such losses.

 

Operating costs at Coelce, our second Brazilian distribution company, increased by Ch$ 70.1 billion in 2004, a 41.8% increase when compared to 2003, primarily due to a 74.5% increase in the average price of energy purchased expressed in local currency terms which is distorted in 2004 because of the first-time purchases from CGTF. Coelce signed a long-term contract with CGTF in order to assure its electricity supply, and CGTF’s prices are higher because it is a combined cycle plant. Physical energy purchases increased by 3.8%. Additionally, Coelce’s 2004 operating cost expressed in U.S. dollars, increased as a consequence of the 4.9% appreciation of the Brazilian real, when compared to 2003, with the exception of the depreciation of fixed assets. These increases were partly offset by Ch$ 2.8 billion in lower depreciation expense and the effect of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in 2004, which reduced costs by Ch$ 13.9 billion. Energy losses increased by 3.0%, reaching 13.9% in 2004. Despite the increase in energy losses, the absolute level is significantly lower than for Ampla. Coelce’s concession area does not have the same socioeconomic difficulties as that of Ampla, but it is so large that significant loss reductions are difficult to achieve for technical reasons.

 

Operating costs arising from Codensa, our Colombian distribution company, increased by Ch$ 23.4 billion, or 9.0%, in 2004, principally reflecting a 2.1% increase in physical energy purchases, a salary expense increase of Ch$ 6.3 billion, and an operating and maintenance expense increase of Ch$ 2.6 billion. Our 2004 operating costs expressed in U.S. dollars, increased as a consequence of the 8.6% appreciation of the Colombian peso, when compared to 2003. These increases were partly offset by a Ch$ 5.6 billion decline in depreciation expense and the effect of the 6.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso in 2004, which reduced costs by Ch$ 21.9 billion. Energy losses decreased from 10.2% in December 2003 to 9.7% in December 2004.

 

Generation business operating costs

 

The 2.2% increase in operating costs in Chile during 2004 when compared to 2003 is due to greater thermal generation fuel expenses and electricity purchases. Weaker hydro conditions during the first semester of 2004 led to a 26% increase in thermal generation, resulting in an average variable cost of generation, excluding electricity purchases, of Ch$ 9.2 per kWh in 2004, compared to Ch$ 8.8 per kWh in 2003. Electricity purchases, both energy and capacity, increased from Ch$ 51.5 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 55.0 billion in 2004. Physical GWh purchases declined, but a higher average price, which grew from Ch$ 21.3 in 2003 to Ch$ 28.7 in 2004, increased total cost. These greater costs were partly offset by a 7% reduction in asset depreciation, from Ch$ 73.2 in 2003 to Ch$ 68.1 in 2004.

 

104



 

Costs of operations in Argentina increased by 41.0% to Ch$ 115.4 billion in 2004. Total physical generation increased by 41%. Thermal generation increased 99% and hydro generation declined 15%. As a result of the natural gas shortage in Argentina, Endesa Costanera increased its use of liquid fuel in thermal generation, which is relatively more expensive than natural gas. As a result of the increase in volume and price, fuel costs increased by 237.6% to Ch$ 40.2 billion in 2004. The average variable cost of generation, excluding the cost of electricity purchases, increased from Ch$ 3.2 per kWh in 2003 to Ch$ 5.9 per kWh in 2004 due to the higher cost of fuel. Physical electricity purchases declined in 2004, reducing purchase expenses from Ch$ 9.9 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 6.1 billion in 2004. The cost of asset depreciation increased 7.3%. The appreciation of the Chilean peso in terms of the U.S. dollar reduced total operating expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003 by Ch$ 7.0 billion.

 

Costs of operations in Colombia increased by 5.1% to Ch$ 133.8 billion in 2004 from Ch$ 127.3 billion in 2003. Physical generation was 10.1% greater in 2004 than 2003 as a consequence of favorable hydrology, which, although leading to higher tolls and energy transportation costs, reduced electricity purchases. The variable cost per kWh generated in 2004, excluding the cost of energy purchases, was Ch$ 3.7 compared to Ch$ 4.5 in 2003. The volume of electricity purchases declined 11% and the cost of purchases expressed in Chilean pesos declined 1% affected by the 8% appreciation of the yearly average Colombian peso U.S. dollar exchange rate. Asset depreciation declined 8.4%. The appreciation of the Chilean peso in terms of the U.S. dollar reduced total operating expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003 by Ch$ 11.5 billion.

 

Costs of operations in Brazil remained stable, reaching Ch$ 26.9 billion in 2004 as compared to Ch$ 26.8 billion in 2003. Physical generation was 8.4% greater in 2004 than 2003 as a consequence of favorable hydrology, which increased transportation costs, but reduced the volume of electricity purchases. The volume of electricity purchases declined 14.1%, but the cost of purchases increased due to the increase in the price of purchases. The average variable cost per kWh generation in 2004, excluding the cost of energy purchases, was Ch$ 1.9 in 2004 and Ch$ 2.0 2003. Asset depreciation expense declined. The appreciation of the Chilean peso in terms of the U.S. dollar reduced total operating expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003 by Ch$ 2.3 billion.

 

Costs of operations in Perú increased by 44.6% to Ch$ 66.1 billion in 2004 from Ch$ 45.7 billion in 2003, mainly due to an increase of Ch$ 14.5 billion in fuel expenses and a Ch$ 4.4 billion increase in energy purchases. The increase in these expenses was due to the lack of rainfall, mainly during the first semester of 2004, which caused total thermal generation in 2004 to be 15 times greater than 2003 and also required an increase in physical energy purchases of 26.6%. The variable cost of generation per kWh, excluding electricity purchases, was Ch$ 7.9 in 2004 compared to Ch$ 3.6 in 2003. The cost of asset depreciation declined 4.6%. The appreciation of the Chilean peso in terms of the U.S. dollar reduced total operating expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003 by Ch$ 3.8 billion.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased slightly, from Ch$ 180.0 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 183.0 billion in 2004, an increase of 1.7%. The largest increases in selling and administrative expenses arose from Chilectra, our Chilean electricity subsidiary, with an increase of Ch$ 7.4 billion, or 20.1% over 2003, and expenses in Ampla, which increased by Ch$ 3.5 billion, or 30.4%, over 2003. Chilectra’s expenses are attributable primarily to application of a more conservative discount rate applied to its future pension benefit liability, which increased expenses by Ch$ 2.9 billion, higher marketing-related expenses of Ch$ 2.5 billion and Ch$ 1.6 billion in increased expenses associated with employee severance indemnity. Ampla’s increase in selling and administrative expenses is explained primarily by a Ch$ 4.4 billion increase in provisions for uncollectible amounts, partly offset by a decrease in salary expense. These increases in selling and administrative expenses were partly offset by decreases in the selling and administrative expenses of other subsidiaries, particularly Codensa, which had a Ch$ 10.0 billion decrease in selling and administrative expenses in 2004, caused primarily by Ch$ 4.2 billion in lower wages, benefits and compensations, Ch$ 2.9 billion in general reductions, and Ch$ 0.5 billion in the reduction of provisions for uncollectible amounts.

Non-operating expenses decreased by Ch$ 97.7 billion, from Ch$ 495.5 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 397.9 billion in 2004, a decrease of Ch$ 97.7 billion, or 19.7%, primarily because of reduced interest expense, beneficial exchange rate differences, and higher income from related companies.

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased from Ch$ 375.1 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 296.8 billion in 2004, a reduction of Ch$ 78.2 billion, or 20.9%. The lower interest expense is a consequence of lower indebtedness and lower interest rates in existing and refinanced debt. Average level of indebtedness, translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, decreased by 15.4% in 2004, from U.S.$ 8,238 million in 2003 to U.S.$ 6,966 million in 2004.

 

Income from unconsolidated entities increased by Ch$ 13.7 billion, or 73.5%, primarily due to Ch$ 12.3 billion in income from Central Generadora de Endesa Fortaleza, which started operations in 2004, as well as Ch$ 6.7 billion in increased income from GasAtacama, partly offset by Ch$ 5.2 billion in lower income from CIEN.

 

Other net non-operating expenses increased by Ch$ 21.0 billion, and are mainly attributable to:

 

      non-recurrence in 2004 of the disposition of investments (Río Maipo and Infraestructura 2000) carried out in 2003 that generated Ch$ 94.8 billion in gains in that period;

 

      higher net incremental expenses of Ch$ 13.0 billion associated with the need to pay other electricity generators as a consequence of new calculations carried out by the CDEC-SIC and their corresponding claim that some of our generators needed to compensate for firm capacity in accordance with the Panel of Experts’ interpretation of the Short Law. These payments are being contested by Endesa. See “Item 8. Financial Information — A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Legal Proceedings” for further information;

 

      net losses of Ch$ 5.4 billion on derivative contracts;

 

      a greater tax on shareholders’ equity (1.2%) in Colombia, which applies for the first year for all Colombian companies, amounting to Ch$ 4.7 billion; and

 

      a Ch$ 2.5 billion decrease in dividends received from Empresa Eléctrica de Bogotá, an unconsolidated equity investment.

 

Non-operating expense increases were partially offset by:

 

      a Ch$ 12.6 billion decline in losses arising from the Technical Bulletin 64 conversion adjustments, primarily from Ampla and Coelce as a result of the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the United States dollar, and the excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities at these companies;

 

      lower provisions for legal claims against us and the reversal of prior legal provisions, for Ch$ 45.6 billion;

 

      lower pension plan expenses in Brazil, for Ch$ 16.8 billion; and

 

      indemnity payment received by Edesur related to the Azopardo fire incident in 1999 for Ch$ 8.0 billion.

 

Net monetary exposure consists of the effects of foreign exchange movements and price level restatement on the balance sheet of Enersis and its consolidated subsidiaries. Net monetary exposure led to gains of Ch$ 14.1 billion in 2004 compared to an expense of Ch$ 11.2 billion in 2003. The 2004 gains were attributable primarily to holding a long position in U.S. dollars during the first semester, when the dollar reached its peak levels against the Chilean peso, while taking a neutral position in the second semester, when the Chilean peso appreciated significantly against the dollar. In 2004, the Chilean peso appreciated 6.1% against the dollar as compared to 2003. In 2003, the 17.4% appreciation of the peso against the dollar led to losses.

Income tax paid for fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 decreased by Ch$ 39.3 billion as compared to 2003, primarily due to the non-recurrence in 2003 of income tax arising from the sale of Río Maipo, Canutillar and Infraestructura 2000, which amounted to Ch$ 23.1 billion. This amount was offset by more taxes paid during 2004 due to our companies’ higher taxable results, including tax increases of Ch$ 9.0 billion in Emgesa, Ch$ 6.6 billion in Codensa, Ch$ 3.5 billion in Edelnor and Ch$ 3.3 billion in Ampla.

 

Deferred taxes, which are non-cash items, increased by Ch$ 137.4 billion, primarily due to an increase of Ch$ 49.7 billion at our generation companies in Argentina, Endesa Costanera and Chocón. During 2003, these companies registered important tax losses due to the original devaluation of the Argentine peso. These losses were eliminated in 2004 because of the appreciation of the Argentine peso against the dollar. To a lesser extent, other companies with an increase in deferred taxes include Ampla with Ch$ 28.8 billion, Enersis with Ch$ 13.4 billion, Endesa with Ch$ 8.7 billion, Edegel with Ch$ 5.5 billion, and Edelnor with Ch$ 5.3 billion.

 

Gains arising from amortization of negative goodwill decreased by Ch$ 36.6 billion in 2004, from Ch$ 54.3 in 2003 to Ch$ 17.7 billion in 2004. The purchase of our increased equity interest in Ampla in early 2003 for an amount below book value created negative goodwill, which was amortized completely during such year, in compliance with accounting norms.

 

As a consequence of all of the above, our net income increased from Ch$ 13.3 billion in 2003 to Ch$ 45.9 billion in 2004, an increase of Ch$ 32.7 billion, or 247%.

 

B.    Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries. The following discussion of our cash sources and uses reflects the key drivers of cash flow for Enersis, as they are regularly reported to the holders our debt and included in financial covenant ratios. (For more information on cash flows from an accounting rather than a financial perspective, please see “Item 18. Financial Statements — Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.”

 

108



 

We believe that cash flow generated from operations, cash balances, assets sales, borrowings from commercial banks and access to both domestic and foreign capital markets will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, debt service, dividends and routine capital expenditures.

 

Cash flows generated from subsidiaries in which Enersis has a 100% interest (that is: Cam, Synapsis, IMV and investment vehicles) are considered by Enersis as its own operational inflows and outflows, given that Enersis has always had access to these wholly-owned subsidiaries’ cash flows.

 

Cash flows received from non wholly-owned subsidiaries and related companies are considered financial investments, and are included as dividends, capital reductions, interest income and intercompany debt amortization.

For a description of liquidity risks resulting from our holding company status, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Operations — We are a holding company and depend on payments from our subsidiaries and related companies to meet our payment obligations” in this annual report.

 

We coordinate the overall financing strategy of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Our operating subsidiaries independently develop capital expenditure plans and our strategy is generally to have the operating subsidiaries independently finance capital expansion programs through internally generated funds or direct financings. We also coordinate acquisition financing in respect of distribution operations with Chilectra. We coordinate all generation and transmission acquisition financing with Endesa Chile. For information regarding our commitments for capital expenditures, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Capital Investment Program” and our contractual obligations table set forth below.

 

We have accessed the international equity capital markets, with three SEC-registered ADS issuances in October 1993, February 1996 and September 2000 for Enersis and once in 1994 for Endesa Chile. We have also frequently issued bonds in the international capital markets, or Yankee Bonds, for both Enersis and Endesa Chile, as well as for Pehuenche, a subsidiary of Endesa Chile. Enersis issued U.S.$ 800 million in Yankee Bonds in November 1996, and U.S.$ 350 million in November 2003. Endesa Chile and its consolidated subsidiaries have also issued Yankee Bonds between 1996 and 2003, of which U.S.$ 2.20 billion are currently outstanding. In June 2000, both Enersis and Endesa Chile established Euro medium-term note programs, or EMTN Programs, for an aggregate amount of € 1 billion each. In July 2000, Endesa Chile issued € 400 million in three-year floating rate notes under its EMTN Program.

 

The following table lists the Yankee Bonds of Enersis and consolidated subsidiaries outstanding at December 31, 2005. The weighted average annual interest rate for Yankee Bonds issued by Enersis and its consolidated subsidiaries, of which an aggregate principal amount U.S.$ 3.2 billion is outstanding as of the date of this report, is approximately 7.8%.

Both Enersis and Endesa Chile, as well as our subsidiaries in the five countries in which we operate, also have access to local capital markets, where we have issued debt instruments including commercial paper and medium- and long-term bonds that are primarily sold to pension funds, life insurance companies and other institutional investors. As of the date of this report, we are in compliance with our material covenants contained in our debt instruments. In 2001, Endesa Chile issued UF 7.5 million (approximately U.S.$ 180 million at the time of issuance) in 5-year and 21-year local bonds, in each case with an interest rate of 6.2% per annum. In 2001, Enersis also issued UF 6.5 million (approximately U.S.$ 169 million at the time of issuance) in 8-year and 21-year local bonds, each with interest rates of 5.5% and 5.75% per annum, respectively. On October 24, 2003, Endesa Chile issued UF 4 million in 7-year UF denominated bonds with an interest rate of 5.65% per annum, and another UF 4 million in 25-year UF denominated bonds with an interest rate of 6.20% per annum, for an aggregate principal amount of UF 8 million (U.S.$ 214 million at the time of issuance). For a full description of the local bonds issued by Enersis and Endesa Chile, see “Item 18. Financial Statements — Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2005 — note 18 — Bonds Payable.”

 

Our companies are also frequent borrowers in the commercial bank markets, both in the form of bilateral loans as well as in syndicated loans. In 1999, we entered into U.S.$ 3.5 billion in 2-year bilateral loans with a group of relationship banks. The loans were extended for two additional years, and were scheduled to mature in 2003, but were paid with the proceeds of syndicated credit facilities that we entered into in May 2003. We have also entered into several syndicated loans over the last few years, including, among others, an aggregate of U.S.$ 400 million 3-year bullet syndicated facility for Enersis in March 2001 and two 3-year bullet U.S.$ 500 million syndicated facilities, one for Enersis and one for Endesa Chile, in July 2001. These loans were also paid before their stated maturity with the proceeds of syndicated credit facilities that we entered into in May 2003.

 

On March 31, 2003, at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, our shareholders approved the issuance of up to 24,382,994,488 shares in a capital increase, including two pre-emptive rights offering periods. The first pre-emptive rights period ended on June 30, 2003 and the second pre-emptive rights period took place between November 20 and December 20, 2003.

 

ENDESA, S.A. (“Endesa-Spain”), acting through an intermediary, exercised a portion of its pre-emptive options corresponding to 14,406,840,511 new shares, which was paid by the extinguishment of a Ch$ 1.0 trillion (approximately U.S.$ 1.4 billion at the exchange rate applicable at that time) intercompany loan that had previously been granted to Enersis by Elesur (the “Loan”). As required by Chilean law, an independent appraiser valued the Loan exclusively for purposes of the capital increase at 86.84% of its par value. Endesa-Spain subscribed for 59.09% of the new shares at a value of approximately Ch$ 870.5 billion, the appraised value of the Loan.

 

Endesa-Spain and its wholly-owned subsidiaries did not exercise all their pre-emptive options during the first pre-emptive rights period in order to make shares available for a possible exchange offer to local bondholders and voluntarily excluded themselves from the second pre-emptive rights period in order to permit minority shareholders to participate with higher pro rata shares in that period.

 

Minority shareholders subscribed 31.61% of the shares available to third parties in the first pre-emptive rights period for a total cash subscription of approximately Ch$ 465.6 billion. During the second pre-emptive rights period, minority shareholders subscribed an additional 5.55% for a total cash subscription of approximately Ch$ 81.8 billion. Additionally, 3.66% of the new shares were subscribed as part of the local bond exchange offer, which took place between the first and the second pre-emptive rights periods of the capital increase. As a result, the total amount of local bonds exchanged was equivalent to approximately Ch$ 54 billion.

 

In summary, the total number of shares subscribed was 24,360,123,331 for an aggregate capital increase of U.S.$ 2,106 million. Of this amount, 59.1% were subscribed by Endesa-Spain and 40.9% were subscribed by minority shareholders. As a result of the foregoing, since December 20, 2003, Endesa-Spain’s ownership interest in Enersis has been 60.6% decreasing from 65.0% prior to the capital increase.

 

Our capital increase during 2003 resulted in an increase of our outstanding shares from 8,291,020,100 to 32,651,166,465. The increase in the number of outstanding shares resulted in a dilution of 75% of the holdings that did not participate in the subscription of new shares. The capital increase allowed us to significantly reduce our

indebtedness as a result of the extinguishment of the Ch$ 1.0 trillion intercompany loan from Elesur and the application of cash proceeds from the capital increase to repay U.S.$ 741 million of indebtedness.

 

As of December 31, 2005, Endesa-Spain’s ownership interest in Enersis remained at 60.6%, the same level as at December 31, 2004.

 

On May 15, 2003, Enersis entered into credit facilities for an aggregate amount of approximately U.S.$ 1,588 million and Endesa Chile entered into a credit facility for U.S.$ 743 million. These facilities refinanced most of Enersis’ and Endesa Chile’s indebtedness under outstanding syndicated and bilateral credit agreements, which otherwise would have matured in 2003 and 2004. The total outstanding amounts under both these credit facilities have been prepaid in full as described below.

 

On November 14, 2003, we entered into an agreement with a syndicate of banks to provide a new U.S.$ 800 million senior unsecured term loan facility through our Cayman Islands branch (the “Enersis November 2003 Facility”), consisting of a U.S.$ 500 million tranche and a U.S.$ 300 million tranche. The U.S.$ 500 million tranche was drawn on November 19, 2003. The period for drawing the U.S.$ 300 million tranche expired on the closing date upon the issuance of 7.375% notes due 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of U.S.$ 350 million. The proceeds of the Enersis November 2003 Facility and the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 7.375% notes, together with cash from other sources, were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the U.S.$ 1,588 million credit facilities dated May 15, 2003.

 

On April 14, 2004, we made a voluntary repayment of U.S.$ 150 million under the Enersis November 2003 Facility, reducing the outstanding amount of the loans to U.S.$ 350 million. On the same date, we amended and restated the Enersis November 2003 Facility (the “Amended Enersis Facility”). The margin over LIBOR at which interest accrues under the Amended Enersis Facility is determined by reference to our foreign currency issuer credit rating by S&P. Such margin ranges from 75 basis points for an A- or higher rating to 275 basis points for a rating lower than BB+. At the time of this filing, the current interest rate applicable to the Amended Enersis Facility is LIBOR plus 115 basis points.

 

On November 10, 2004, we refinanced the Amended Enersis Facility with a syndicated loan of U.S.$ 350 million through Enersis’s Cayman Islands branch. The new facility operates as a credit line or revolving facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). This revolving structure allows us to prepay or obtain funds several times while the facility is outstanding, as long as the total indebtedness under this facility does not exceed U.S.$ 350 million. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 10, 2008. The margin over LIBOR is 37.5 basis points. In addition to the margin, the facility accrues a commitment fee with interest payable on the unused portion of the total commitment of U.S.$ 350 million. The accrued interest is 15 basis points if the used amount of the revolving is higher than 66% of the total amount; 20 basis points if the used amount is between 33% and 66% or 25 basis points if utilization is lower than 33%.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility ranks pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Enersis and requires us to be in compliance on the last day of any fiscal quarter with specified financial covenants related to maximum ratios of indebtedness to adjusted cash flow (ranging from 7.00:1 in 2005 to 6.00:1 in 2008), indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement, which may differ from the manner in which EBITDA may be commonly calculated) (ranging from 5.00:1 in 2005 to 3.00:1 in 2008), debt to equity (ranging from 80% in 2005 to 70% in 2008) and minimum ratio of adjusted cash flow to interest expense (ranging from 1.60:1 in 2005 to 2.20:1 in 2008).

 

Due to voluntary prepayments made during 2005, for an aggregate amount of U.S.$ 265 million, as of December 31, 2005, the outstanding amount of this Revolving Credit Facility was U.S.$ 85 million.

 

On February 4, 2004, Endesa Chile entered into an agreement with a syndicate of banks to provide a new U.S.$ 250 million senior unsecured term loan facility through Endesa Chile’s Cayman Islands branch (the “Endesa Chile Facility”). Endesa Chile borrowed the full amount under this facility and used the proceeds of the borrowing plus the proceeds of the issuance of U.S.$ 600 million Yankee Bonds on July 18, 2003 to repay all amounts under another Endesa Chile credit facility dated May 15, 2003 for an original amount of U.S.$ 743 million. The margin over LIBOR at which interest accrues under the Endesa Chile Facility is determined by reference to the

 

113



 

S&P rating of Endesa Chile’s senior unsecured long-term foreign currency denominated debt; such margin ranges from 75 basis points for an A- or higher rating to 275 basis points for a rating lower than BB+.

 

On November 10, 2004, Endesa Chile refinanced the Endesa Chile Facility with a syndicated loan of U.S.$ 250 million. The new facility operates as a credit line or revolving facility (the “Endesa Chile Revolving Credit Facility”). This revolving feature allows the company to prepay or obtain funds several times while the facility is outstanding, as long as the total indebtedness under this facility does not exceed U.S.$ 250 million. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 10, 2008. The margin over LIBOR is 37.5 basis points. In addition to the margin, the facility accrues a commitment fee with interest payable on the unused portion of the total commitment of U.S.$ 250 million. The accrued interest is 15 basis points if the used amount of the revolving is higher than 66% of the total amount; 20 basis points if the used amount is between 33% and 66%; or 25 basis points if the utilization is lower than 33%.

 

The Endesa Chile Facility ranks pari passu with all other unsubordinated debt of Endesa Chile and matures on November 10, 2010. The Endesa Chile Facility requires Endesa Chile to maintain specified financial covenants related to maximum ratios of indebtedness to adjusted cash flow (ranging from 9.40:1 in 2005 to 7.50:1 in 2010), indebtedness to EBITDA (ranging from 6.30:1 in 2005 to 4.20:1 in 2010), debt to equity (ranging from 112.5% in 2005 to 100.0% in 2010) and minimum ratio of adjusted cash flow to interest expense (ranging from 1.50:1 in 2005 to 2.0:1 in 2010).

 

Due to voluntary prepayments made during November and December 2005, for an aggregate amount of U.S.$ 120 million, as of December 31, 2005, the outstanding amount of the Endesa Chile Facility was U.S.$ 130 million.

 

On January 26, 2006, Endesa Chile, through Endesa Chile’s Cayman Islands branch, entered into a new credit agreement pursuant to which a syndicate of banks agreed to provide a new U.S.$ 200 million senior unsecured revolving loan facility (the “Endesa Chile New Facility”). This committed revolving facility shall be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the 7.2% Yankee Bond Notes maturing in April 1, 2006.

 

The Endesa Chile New Facility ranks pari passu with all other unsubordinated debt of Endesa Chile. No principal repayments are required under the Endesa Chile New facility until its maturity on July 28, 2011. Prior to maturity, Endesa Chile is required to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of all loans under the Endesa Chile New Facility, subject to mandatory prepayment of all amounts owed to any lender, at the option of such lender. The mandatory prepayments are produced if Endesa Chile ceases to be a public company, in the event of a change of control, if Endesa Chile repurchases or redeems its capital stock (other than the minimum required by law) or if any Government Agency of Chile imposes currency restrictions. These “change of control” provisions are harder to trigger than those of our prior bank debt.

 

The Endesa Chile New Facility requires Endesa Chile to maintain two specified financial covenants related to Consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA (ranging from 6.40:1 in 2005 to 5.90:1 in 2010) and debt to equity (ranging from 112.5% in 2005 to 102.0% in 2011).

 

The Enersis and Endesa Chile Yankee Bonds contain covenants that place restrictions on the extent to which Enersis and Endesa Chile and certain of their subsidiaries (i) create or incur liens on properties and assets and (ii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

 

As is customary for certain credit and capital market debt facilities, a significant portion of Enersis’ financial indebtedness is subject to cross-default provisions. The Enersis Revolving Credit Facility, the Endesa Chile Revolving Credit Facility and the Yankee Bonds represent the Company’s most material indebtedness, and contain the most material cross-default provisions. Other outstanding indebtedness is for less significant amounts, and their cross-default provisions, if any, have higher thresholds.

 

Payment defaults in relation to any individual indebtedness of Endesa Chile or its relevant subsidiaries, subject to expiration of applicable grace periods (if any) and materiality thresholds of U.S.$ 30 million outstanding (and U.S.$ 50 million in the case of the Endesa Chile New Facility), on an individual basis, could give rise to a cross default under these respective facilities. Endesa Chile’s relevant subsidiaries that have indebtedness in excess of U.S.$ 30 million as of December 31, 2005 are Endesa Chile Internacional and Betania.

 

114



 

Likewise, payment defaults in relation to any individual indebtedness of Enersis, or certain of its more relevant subsidiaries, including Endesa Chile, subject to expiration of applicable grace periods (if any) and a materiality threshold of U.S.$ 30 million (on an individual basis), could give rise to a cross default under the Enersis Revolving Credit Facility. Enersis’ relevant subsidiaries which indebtedness exceeds U.S.$ 30 million as of December 31, 2005 are Endesa Chile, Endesa Chile Internacional and Betania.

 

If Enersis or any of its subsidiaries defaults in the payment on any individual indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of U.S.$ 30 million, our Yankee bondholders would have cross acceleration rights. Enersis’ subsidiaries, which include certain subsidiaries of Endesa Chile, and have indebtedness in excess of U.S.$ 30 million as of December 31, 2005 are Endesa Chile, Coelce, Endesa Fortaleza, CIEN, Edelnor and Codensa.

 

In addition, if Endesa Chile or any of its subsidiaries defaults in the payment on any individual indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of U.S.$ 30 million, Endesa Chile Yankee bondholders would have cross acceleration rights. Endesa Chile’s subsidiaries which have indebtedness in excess of U.S.$ 30 million as of December 31, 2005 are Endesa Chile Internacional, Endesa Costanera, Betania and Emgesa. Any event of default arising out of Endesa Chile’s or Enersis’ Yankee Bonds would trigger a cross default under most of the existing bank credit agreements.

 

In addition to the payment cross-default provisions described in the previous paragraphs, certain Enersis and Endesa Chile indebtedness is subject to (a) cross-acceleration provisions, again subject to a materiality threshold of U.S.$ 30 million (U.S.$ 50 million in certain cases) on an individual basis, and (b) certain other customary events of default. Some of the more material examples of such customary event of default triggers include bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, material adverse judgments, and certain governmental actions such as nationalization, seizure, or expropriation of assets. The general cross acceleration provisions give rise to an event of default only when other material indebtedness has been accelerated at the direction of the required lenders thereunder or otherwise pursuant to its terms, after expiration of grace periods where applicable.

 

Payment of dividends and distributions by our subsidiaries and related companies represent an important source of funds for Enersis. The payment of dividends and distributions by certain subsidiaries and related companies are subject to legal and contractual restrictions, such as legal reserve requirements, capital and retained earning criteria and other restrictions. Enersis has been advised by legal counsel in the various geographical locations where its subsidiaries and related companies operate that there are currently no other legal restrictions on the payment to Enersis of dividends or distributions from the jurisdictions where such subsidiaries or related companies are incorporated.

 

At the time of this filing, our Argentine subsidiary Endesa Costanera has not yet paid the December 2005 installment of its credit with Mitsubishi Corporation. However, through an acceptance letter, Mitsubishi Corporation has confirmed its willingness to discuss with Endesa Costanera a new debt payment schedule for the U.S.$ 4.8 million owed, which accounts for capital and accrued interest.

 

We will probably need to access external credit in order to refinance Enersis’ and Endesa Chile’s stand-alone indebtedness starting in 2006. We expect that we will continue to have access to sufficient sources of liquidity, principally local and international bond markets and bank loans.

 

In addition to available cash, as of this filing, Enersis currently has the ability to draw up to approximately U.S.$ 196 million from unused lines of credit granted by Chilean banks, and Endesa Chile has the ability to draw up to approximately another U.S.$ 180 million from similar sources. Our levels of consolidated indebtedness increased by 3%, from U.S.$ 6.7 billion as of December 31, 2004, to U.S.$ 6.9 billion as of December 31, 2005. The Company does not currently anticipate liquidity shortfalls affecting its ability to meet the obligations outlined previously. We expect to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due, fund our purchase obligations outlined previously with internally generated cash, and fund capital expenditures with a mixture of internally generated cash and borrowings.

D.    Trend Information.

 

In general, trends cannot be easily established for the energy business in the five countries in which we operate. However, we have identified the following:  there is a tendency toward greater competition in some countries, combined with a liberalization of regulated markets, and a proposed introduction of trading companies that will market energy to final clients. In addition to increasing competition, this would give us access to a wider universe of customers, allowing us to compete to serve higher margin clients. There is also a general trend toward the interconnection of electricity systems, including systems that cross international borders, increasing competition in the markets served by interconnection projects and at the same time opening new markets for our current installed capacity.

 

In addition, our ability to rely on natural gas from Argentina is increasingly uncertain, because of natural gas restrictions applied by the Argentine government. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risk Factors Related to Argentina.”

(1)   Includes net payment from Endesa Chile’s Currency Swap of U.S.$ 22.9 million.

 

(2)   Includes net payment of Enersis’ Currency Swaps for a total of U.S.$ 210.1 million.

 

(3)   Includes Endesa Chile’s capital lease obligations for a total of U.S.$ 47.7 million.

 

(4)   We have funded and unfunded pension and post-retirement benefit plans. Our funded plans have contractual annual commitments for contributions which do not change based on funding status. Cash flow estimates in the table are based on such annual contractual commitments including certain estimable variable factors such as interest. Cash flow estimates in the table relating to our unfunded plans are based on future undiscounted payments necessary to meet all of our pension and post-retirement obligations. The amount of U.S.$ 269 million in the “After 2009” column includes all of our cash flow estimates relating to our unfunded plans plus one year’s estimate of our contractual commitment for our funded plans (we estimate that our contractual commitments for our funded plans are approximately equal to U.S.$ 31 million per annum). However, you should assume that for every year after 2009, we have estimated that we will have an approximate U.S.$ 31 million cash flow commitment in connection with our funded plans. We have only included one year of cash flow estimates for our funded plans in this column because such plans do not have an expiration or settlement date and therefore the aggregate of our obligations relating to such plans after 2008 would not accurately represent our year-to-year cash commitments.

 

(5)   Includes generation and distribution business purchase obligations comprised mainly of energy purchases, operating and maintenance contracts and other services. In addition to the contractual operational obligations set forth above, annual payments of electricity purchase contacts that correspond to derivative instruments are quantified in Item 11. Market Risks — Commodity Price Risk.

 

(6)   We do not have any material operating lease obligations.

 

(7)   In addition to the contractual obligation set forth above, we expect to make capital expenditures of U.S.$ 635 million in 2005, U.S.$ 969 million in 2006 and U.S.$ 827 million in 2007.

We do not disclose, to our shareholders or otherwise, information on individual executive officers’ compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the aggregate gross compensation paid or accrued (including performance-based bonuses) of the executive officers of Enersis, was Ch$ 1,546,408,532. Executive Officers are eligible for variable compensation under a bonus plan. Enersis provides for its executive officers an annual bonus plan for meeting company-wide objectives and for their individual contribution to the Company’s results. The annual bonus plan provides for a range of bonus amounts according to seniority level. The bonuses eventually paid to executives consist of a certain number of gross monthly salaries. The total variable compensation paid in April 2005 was Ch$ 503,548,167, and is included in the aggregate compensation.

 

The amounts set aside or accrued by the Company in 2005 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits totaled Ch$ 442,250,466. No severance indemnities were paid to the company’s executive officers in 2005.

 

C.    Board practices.

 

The current Board of Directors was elected at the Shareholders’ meeting dated March 31, 2003 for a period of three years. For the period during which that person has served, please see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A. Directors and Senior Management” above. Directors have no service contracts with Enersis.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Enersis is managed by its Executive Officers under the direction of its Board of Directors which, in accordance with the estatutos, or articles of incorporation or bylaws, of Enersis, consists of seven directors who are elected at an annual regular shareholders’ meeting. Each director serves for a three-year term and the term of each of the seven directors expires on the same day. Staggered terms are not permitted under Chilean law. If a vacancy occurs on the board during the three-year term, the Board of Directors may appoint a temporary director to fill the vacancy. In addition, the vacancy will trigger an election for every seat on the Board of Directors at the next Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to be held. The current Board of Directors was elected in March 2003 and their terms expire in March 2006. On June 29, 2005, Directors Messrs. José Luis Palomo and Alfonso Arias resigned from the Board of Directors, and Messrs. Juan Ignacio de la Mata and Rafael Español were elected by the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies until the next Ordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on March 31, 2006, when an entire new Board of Directors will be elected. The members of the Board of Directors do not have service contracts with Enersis or any of its subsidiaries that provide benefits upon termination of employment.

 

Chilean corporate law provides that a company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the management, administration and representation of a company in all matters concerning its corporate purpose, subject to the provisions of the company’s estatutos and the stockholders’ resolutions. In addition to the estatutos, the Board of Directors of Enersis has adopted regulations and policies that guide our corporate governance principles. The most important of these regulations and policies are the following:

 

The Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets, approved by the Board on January 31, 2002, which determine the rules of conduct that must be followed by members of the Board of Directors, senior management and other executives and employees who, due to the nature of their job responsibilities, may have access to sensitive or confidential information, with a view to contributing to transparency and to the protection of investors. These regulations are based on the principles of impartiality, good faith, placing the company’s interests before one’s own, and care and diligence in using information when acting in the securities markets.

 

The Charter Governing Executives (“Estatuto del Directivo”), approved by the Board on May 28, 2003, and the Employees Code of Conduct, which develop our principles and values, establish the rules governing dealings with customers and suppliers, and establish the principles that should be followed by employees in their work, including ethical conduct, professionalism and confidentiality. They also impose limitations on the activities that our senior executives and other employees may undertake outside the scope of their employment with us.

 

The above regulations and rules reflect our core principles of transparency, respect for stockholders’ rights, and the duty of care and loyalty of the directors imposed by Chilean law.

Compliance with NYSE Listing Standards on Corporate Governance

 

Following is a summary of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those applicable to domestic issuers under the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Because we are a “controlled company” under NYSE rules (a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company), we would not, were we to be a U.S. company, be subject to the requirement that we have a majority of independent directors, or nomination and compensation committees.

 

Independence and Functions of the Audit Committee

 

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent. We are subject to this requirement as of July 31, 2005.

 

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the audit committee of a U.S. company must perform the functions detailed in the NYSE Listed Company Manual Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07. Non-U.S. companies have been required to comply with Rule 303A.06 beginning July 31, 2005, but are not required to comply with Rule 303A.07. We do not currently comply with Rule 303A.07, but as of July 31, 2005, we do comply with both the independence and the functional requirements of Rule 303A.06. As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the NYSE corporate governance rules, on June 29, 2005 the Board of Directors of Enersis created an Audit Committee, composed of three directors meeting the independence requirements of the NYSE: Mr. Juan Ignacio de la Mata (Chairman), Mr. Rafael Español and Mr. Ernesto Silva. Mr. Español is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(B), but otherwise meets the independence requirements of the NYSE.

 

As required by Chilean Law, Enersis also has a Directors’ Committee composed of three directors. Although Chilean Law requires that a majority of the Directors’ Committee (two out of three members) must be composed of directors who were not nominated by the controlling shareholder and did not seek votes from the controlling shareholder (a “non-control director”), it permits the Directors’ Committee to be composed of a majority or even a unanimity of control directors, if there are not sufficient non-control directors on the board to serve on the committee. Currently, our Directors’ Committee is composed of one non-control director and of two directors appointed by the controlling shareholder.

 

Corporate Governance Guidelines

 

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules require U.S.-listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Chilean law does not contemplate this practice, other than with respect to the codes of conduct described above.

 

Committees and Other Advisory Bodies

 

Directors’ Committee (Comité de Directores)

 

The Directors’ Committee is composed of three members who are simultaneously directors of the Company. It performs the following functions:

 

      examination of Annual Report, Financial Statements and the Reports of the External Auditors and Inspectors of the Accounts;

 

      formulation of the proposal to the Board of Directors for the selection of external auditors and private rating agencies;

 

      examination of information related to operations by the Company with related parties and/or related to operations in which the Company board members or relevant executive officers may have personal interest;

 

      examination of the remuneration framework and compensation plans for managers and executive officers; and

 

      any other function mandated to the committee by the estatutos, the board of directors or the shareholders of the company.

 

122



 

Pablo Yrarrázaval, chairman of the board, has also served as chairman of this committee since July 31, 2002. The other members are Hernán Somerville and Ernesto Silva.

 

The Audit Committee (Comité de Auditoría)

 

The Audit Committee is composed of three independent members who are simultaneously directors of the Company. It performs the following functions:

 

      it is one of the committees responsible for the proposal of the appointment and compensation of independent auditors at the Shareholders’ Meeting;

 

      it is responsible for the oversight of the work of independent auditors;

 

      it pre-approves of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors;

 

      it establishes of procedures for receiving and dealing with complaints regarding accounting, internal control and auditing matters.

As of December 31, 2005, Endesa-Spain beneficially owned 60.6% of the shares of Enersis. Chilean private pension funds, or AFPs, owned 17.1% in the aggregate, with the highest AFP shareholding being AFP Provida, with 5.5%. Chilean stockbrokers, mutual funds, insurance companies, foreign equity funds, and other Chilean institutional investors collectively owned 8.0% of our equity. ADR holders own 9.4% of the equity. Approximately 9,097 minority shareholders own the remaining 4.8% of shares.

B.    Related party transactions.

 

Article 89 of the Chilean Companies Act requires that our transactions with our parent company, subsidiaries and/or their related parties be on equitable conditions, similar to those customarily prevailing in the market.

 

Directors and executive officers of companies who violate Article 89 are liable for losses resulting from such violation. In addition, Article 44 of the Chilean Companies Act, as amended, provides that a corporation may only execute transactions in which one or more directors have a personal interest or an interest as a representative of another person, when such transactions are previously examined and reported to the Board of Directors by the Directors’ Committee and then approved by the Board of Directors prior to execution by the company, and the terms of such transactions are adjusted to equitable conditions similar to those customarily prevailing in the market. Resolutions approving transactions under Article 44 must be reported to our stockholders in the next stockholders’ meeting. If the transactions involve a material amount, the board of directors must determine in advance if the transactions are adjusted to equitable conditions similar to those customarily prevailing in the market or not. If the board decides that it is not possible to ascertain such conditions, the board of directors, with the exclusion of interested directors, may approve or reject the transaction, or appoint two independent appraisers. The appraisers’ report will be available to the shareholders and the board of directors for a period of 20 business days. Once such term has expired, the board of directors may approve or reject the transaction, with the abstention of interested directors. If shareholders representing 5% or more of the voting shares consider that the terms and conditions of the transactions are not favorable to the interests of the company, or that the appraisers’ reports are substantially different, they may request that the board convoke an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to approve or reject the transaction with a majority of two-thirds of the voting shares. Violation of Article 44 may result in administrative and criminal sanctions and civil liability to us, our shareholders or interested third parties who suffer losses as a result of such violation. We, our shareholders and interested third parties, however, may ask the interested director

 

to reimburse the company in an amount equivalent to the benefits that the transaction in violation of Article 44 represented to the interested director, relatives and/or representatives.

 

It is common practice in Chile to transfer surplus funds of one company to another related company that has a cash deficit. These transactions are carried out through short-term intercompany loans. Under Chilean law and regulation, such transactions must be carried out on an arm’s length basis. It is our policy to manage all cash inflows and outflows of our wholly-owned Chilean subsidiaries, Endesa Chile and Endesa Chile’s Chilean subsidiaries by way of a centralized cash management policy. Such centralized cash management is more efficient for both financial and tax reasons. All of these operations are subject to the supervision of our Directors’ Committee.

 

In other countries in the regions in which we do business, these intercompany transactions are permitted but they have adverse tax consequences. Accordingly, we do not similarly manage the cash flows of our non-Chilean subsidiaries.

 

Enersis has made structured loans to Chilean subsidiaries, at the same cost of funds for Enersis, primarily in order to finance foreign investments. As of December 31, 2005, the outstanding net balance for such loans was

 

125



 

U.S.$ 762 million, the largest amount outstanding during 2004 was U.S.$ 855 million. Additionally, Enersis lent to its foreign subsidiaries an amount of U.S.$ 109 million as of December 31, 2005. The largest net amount outstanding during 2005 for such loans to its foreign subsidiaries was U.S.$ 109 million.

 

The interest rate on these intercompany loans to Enersis’ subsidiaries ranges from 1.7% to 7.0% in Chile, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.6%. The interest rate on these intercompany loans to Enersis’ foreign subsidiaries ranges from 9.1% to 10.5%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.9%.

 

Endesa Chile has also made structured loans to its subsidiaries in Chile, primarily to finance projects and refinance existing indebtedness. As of December 31, 2005, the outstanding net balance for such loans was U.S.$ 544 million. The largest amount outstanding during 2005 for such loans to its Chilean subsidiaries was U.S.$ 559 million. Additionally, Endesa Chile lent money to its foreign subsidiaries in order to finance foreign investments, in an amount of U.S.$ 458 million as of December 31, 2005. The largest amount outstanding during 2005 for such loans to its foreign subsidiaries was U.S.$ 501 million.

 

The interest rates on these intercompany loans to Endesa Chile’s Chilean subsidiaries range from 2.3% to 7.0%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.0%. The interest rates on these intercompany loans to Endesa Chile’s foreign subsidiaries range from 6.9% to 10.1%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.7%.

Legal Proceedings

 

We and our principal subsidiaries and related companies are routinely parties to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business that are not material to our consolidated results from operations. For more information on all of our legal proceeding please refer to note 30 of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Dividends

 

As determined by Enersis’ Board of Directors, the dividend policy for fiscal year 2005 was not to pay provisional dividends to stockholders and to propose at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held during the first four months of 2006, a definitive dividend payment of Ch$ 1.0 per share, which is equivalent to 62.2% of the annual net income of fiscal year 2005 before negative goodwill amortization.

 

In addition, the board generally proposes to the shareholders a “definitive dividend” payable each year, and attributable to the prior year, which cannot be less than the legal minimum, which is 30% of annual net income before negative goodwill amortization. At a Board of Directors meeting held on February 28, 2006 the Board agreed to propose at the general shareholders’ meeting the payment of a definitive dividend attributable to fiscal year 2005, equivalent to 62.2% of the annual net income before negative goodwill amortization.

 

The Board of Directors also approved a dividend policy for fiscal year 2006, which includes paying a provisional dividend to stockholders equivalent to 15% of the net income accumulated up to October 31, 2006 before negative goodwill amortization, to be paid on December 2006, and to propose to the general shareholders’

 

126



 

meeting to be held during the first four months of 2007, a definitive dividend payment equivalent to 60% of the annual net income of fiscal year 2006 before negative goodwill amortization. Such definitive dividend policy reflects the Board of Director’s intention; however, actual dividends will be subject to net profits actually obtained in each period, as well as to expectations of future profit levels and other conditions that may exist at the moment of such dividend declaration.

 

Enersis, as a holding company, is primarily dependent upon cash inflows from its operating subsidiaries in the form of dividend payments, interest payments, management fees and capital reductions for servicing its debt obligations. The principal operating subsidiaries and related companies of Enersis are Endesa Chile and Chilectra in Chile, Edesur in Argentina, Edelnor in Peru, Ampla and Coelce in Brazil (through Endesa Brasil) and Codensa in Colombia. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — C. Organizational Structure — Principal Subsidiaries and Related Companies.”

 

Stockholders set dividend policies at each subsidiary and related company. There are currently no material currency controls which prohibit Enersis from repatriating the dividend payments from its non-Chilean principal subsidiaries and related companies.

Trading

 

The Santiago Stock Exchange was established in 1893 and is a private company whose equity consists of 48 shares held by 46 stockholders as of the date of this filing.  As of December 31, 2005, 245 companies had shares listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange.

 

Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold and U.S.$ are traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange.  In 1990, the Santiago Stock Exchange initiated a futures market with two instruments, U.S. dollar futures and Selective Shares Price Index, or IPSA, futures.  Securities are traded primarily through an open voice auction system, a firm offers system or the daily auction.  Trading through the open voice system occurs on each business day from 9:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m., Santiago time, which varies from New York City time depending on the season.  The Santiago Stock Exchange has an electronic trading system called Telepregón, which operates continuously from 9:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m. on each business day.  On days in which auctions are scheduled, there are three times available for such auctions: 9:15 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

 

There are two share price indices on the Santiago Stock Exchange: the General Share Price Index, or IGPA, and the IPSA.  The IGPA is calculated using the prices of over 160 issues and is broken into five main sectors: banks and finance; farming and forest products; mining; industry and miscellaneous.  The IPSA is calculated using the prices of the 40 most actively traded shares.  The shares included in the IPSA are weighted according to the value of the shares traded.  As of December 31, 2005, Enersis and Endesa Chile shares were included in the IPSA.

 

Shares of Enersis were first listed and began trading on the Bolsa de Valores Latinoamericanos de la Bolsa de Madrid, or Latibex, as of December 17, 2001.  One trading unit is the equivalent of 50 common shares (the same unit conversion of 50:1 as an ADS) and the trading ticker symbol is “XENI.” Banco Santander Central Hispano Bolsa S.A. S.V.B. acts as the liaison entity, and the Banco Santander as the depositary in Chile.  Trading of our shares in the Latibex amounted to approximately 2.1 million units in 2005, which in turn was equivalent to € 16.6 million.  The stock closed at € 9.30 on the last day of trading in Latibex in 2005.

Description of Share Capital

 

Set forth below is certain information concerning our share capital and a brief summary of certain significant provisions of our by-laws and Chilean law.

 

General

 

Shareholders’ rights in Chilean companies are governed by a company’s by-laws, which effectively serve the purpose of both the articles, or certificate, of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the United States, and by the Chilean Companies Act.  In accordance with the Chilean Companies Act, legal actions by shareholders against us to enforce their rights as shareholders must be brought in Chile in arbitration proceedings or at the option of the plaintiff before the ordinary courts of Chile.

 

The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros or SVS) under the Securities Market Law (Ley de Mercado de Valores No. 18,045) and the Chilean Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades Anónimas No. 18,046).  These two laws provide for disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, and protection of minority investors.  The Securities Market Law sets forth requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers, and outlines disclosure requirements for companies that issue publicly offered securities.  On December 20, 2000, Law 19,705 was enacted, introducing important amendments to the Chilean Companies Act and the Securities Market Law.  Among other things, it provides a new definition for publicly held limited liability stock companies and new rules regarding takeovers, tender offers, transactions with directors, qualified majorities, share repurchase, director’s committee, stock options and derivative actions.  Publicly held limited liability stock companies are those with 500 or more shareholders, or companies in which 100 or more shareholders own at least 10% of the subscribed capital, excluding those whose individual holdings directly or indirectly exceed such percentage, and all other companies whose shares are registered voluntarily with the SVS, regardless of the number of their shareholders.  Enersis is a publicly held limited liability stock company (sociedad anónima abierta).

 

Reporting Requirements Regarding Acquisition or Sale of Shares.

 

Under Article 12 of the Securities Market Law and Section II of Circular 585 of the SVS, certain information regarding transactions in shares of publicly held limited liability stock companies must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges.  Since the ADRs are deemed to represent the shares of common stock underlying the ADRs, transactions in ADRs will be subject to these reporting requirements and those established in Circular 1,375 of the SVS.  Shareholders of publicly held limited liability stock companies are required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges:

 

      any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares that results in the holder’s acquiring or disposing, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of a publicly held limited liability stock company’s subscribed capital; and

 

      any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, if made by a holder of 10% or more of a publicly held limited liability stock company’s subscribed capital.

 

Any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares or options to buy or sell shares, in any amount, made by a director, receiver, principal executive, general manager or manager of a company whose shares are registered with the SVS must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges.

 

In addition, the majority shareholders must inform the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges if the above-mentioned acquisitions are done with the intention to obtain the control of the company or only as passive investment.

 

Under new Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and Norma de Carácter General No. 104 enacted by the SVS on January 5, 2001, any person who directly or indirectly intends to take control of a publicly held limited liability stock company must disclose his intent to the market at least 10 business days in advance of the change of

 

131



 

control and, in any event, as soon as the negotiations for the change of control have started.  If the change of control shall occur by means of a tender offer, the new provisions on tender offers will apply.

 

Law 19,705 introduces a new chapter to the Securities Market Law, establishing a comprehensive regulation on tender offers.  The law defines a tender offer as the offer to purchase shares of corporations which publicly offer their shares or securities convertible into shares and which offer is made to shareholders to purchase their shares on conditions which allow the bidder to reach a certain percentage of ownership of the corporation within a fixed period of time.  The new provisions apply to both voluntary and mandatory tender offers.

 

Register

 

Enersis is registered with the SVS and its entry number is 0175.

 

Corporate Objective and Purpose

 

Article 4 of our by-laws states that our corporate objective and purpose are, among other things, to conduct the exploration, development, operation, generation, distribution, transmission, transformation, or sale of energy in any form, directly or through other companies, as well as to provide engineering-consultancy services related to these objectives, in Chile and abroad.

 

In the Enersis Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 11, 2002, an amendment to the corporate objective and purpose of the company was approved in order to allow Enersis, directly or through its subsidiaries, to participate in the telecommunications business.  Other amendments to the aforementioned article of our by-laws were approved in order to clarify some aspects of our corporate object and purpose.

 

Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors is made up of seven members who may or may not be shareholders of Enersis.  Members of the board are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders and are elected for a period of three years at the end of which they will be re-elected or replaced.

 

The seven directors elected at the shareholders’ meeting are those seven individual nominees who receive the most votes.  Each shareholder may vote all of his shares in favor of one nominee or may apportion his shares among any number of nominees.  These voting provisions ensure that a shareholder owning more than 12.5% of our shares outstanding will be able to elect a member of the Board of Directors.

 

The compensation of the directors is set annually by the general meeting of shareholders.  The Chairman is entitled to receive twice the compensation paid, and the Vice Chairman 50% more than that paid, to each director.  Thus, the Board of Directors does not have power to vote compensation for themselves or any members of their body.

 

Certain Powers of the Board of Directors

 

In addition, our by-laws do not contain provisions relating to:

 

      borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied; or

 

      retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement.

 

Certain Provisions Regarding Shareholder Rights

 

As of the date of the filing of this annual report, Enersis’ capital is comprised of only one class of shares, all of which are ordinary shares and have the same rights.

 

Our by-laws do not contain any provisions relating to:

 

      redemption provisions;

 

132



 

      sinking funds; or

 

      liability to further capital calls by the company.

 

Under Chilean law, the rights of holders of stock may only be changed by an amendment to the by-laws of the company that complies with the requirements explained below under “— Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights.”

 

Capitalization

 

Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a company, acting at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in its capital.  When an investor subscribes for shares, the shares are officially issued and registered in his name, and the subscriber is treated as a shareholder for all purposes except receipt of dividends and for return of capital in the event that the shares have been subscribed but not paid for.  The subscriber becomes eligible to receive dividends once he has paid for the shares, or, if he has paid for only a portion of such shares, such subscriber is entitled to receive a corresponding pro rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such shares unless the company’s by-laws provide otherwise.  If a subscriber does not fully pay for shares for which he has subscribed on or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, the company is entitled to auction the shares on the stock exchange where such shares are traded and has a cause of action against the subscriber for the difference, if any, between the subscription price and the price received at auction.  However, until such shares are sold at auction, the subscriber continues to exercise all the rights of a shareholder, except the right to receive dividends and return of capital.  Authorized shares, and issued shares for which full payment has not been made within the period fixed by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting at which their subscription was authorized, which in no case may exceed three years from the date of such meeting, are canceled and are no longer available for issuance.

 

On April 30, 1999, our shareholders approved a capital increase of 2.58 billion shares, In 2000, the Company issued a Pre-Emptive Rights’ Offering, including an ADS Offering, in which approximately 1.49 billion common shares were fully subscribed and paid under this capital increase.  On April 30, 2002, the three-year period, granted by the Company’s shareholders in order to carry out the remainder of the authorized capital increase, expired.  Therefore, the shares of the Company were reduced to the number which until now have been fully subscribed and paid.

 

On March 31, 2003, at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, Enersis’ shareholders approved the issuance of 24,382,994,488 shares, at a market value of approximately U.S.$ 2 billion.  The capital increase allowed Endesa-Spain, acting through a subsidiary, to exercise a portion of its pre-emptive options corresponding to 14,406,840,511 new shares, which were paid by the extinguishment of a Ch$ 1.0 trillion (approximately U.S.$ 1.4 billion at the exchange rate applicable at that time) intercompany loan that had previously been granted to Enersis.  As required by Chilean law, an independent appraiser valued the loan exclusively for purposes of the capital increase at 86.8% of its par value.  Endesa-Spain, acting through a subsidiary, subscribed for 59.1% of the new shares at a value of approximately Ch$ 870.5 billion, the appraised value of the loan.  Additionally, the capital increase allowed the subscription for 3.7% of the new shares as part of the local bond exchange offer, which took place in between the first and the second pre-emptive rights periods of the capital increase.  The total amount of local bonds exchanged was equivalent to approximately Ch$ 54 billion.

 

At the same Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 31, 2003, the shareholders approved the elimination of the 65% by-laws’ restriction on the maximum shareholding by any party.  On March 26, 2004, our shareholders approved a new amendment to our by-laws to reinstate, among other things, the 65% maximum shareholding restriction set forth above.

 

Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital

 

The Chilean Companies Act requires Chilean companies to grant shareholders the preemptive right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage of such company whenever such company issues new shares.

 

Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are exercisable or freely transferable by shareholders during the 30-day period following the granting of such rights.  During such 30-day period, and for an additional 30-day period,

 

133



 

Chilean publicly held limited liability stock companies are not permitted to offer any unsubscribed shares to third parties on terms which are more favorable than those offered to their shareholders, but they may be freely sold after the 30-day period following the granting of such rights to third parties on terms less favorable for the purchaser than those offered to shareholders.  At the end of such additional 30-day period, a Chilean publicly held limited liability stock company is authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third parties on any terms, provided they are sold on one of the Chilean stock exchanges.

 

Under the last capital increase, the first preemptive rights period ended on June 30, 2003 and the second period was from November 20 and December 20, 2003.  Between the two preemptive rights periods, there was also a preferred opportunity for Enersis’ local bondholders to tender their bonds in exchange for shares of common stock.

 

Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

 

A modification of our by-laws requires the affirmative vote of shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote.

 

An ordinary annual meeting of our shareholders is held within the first four months following the end of our fiscal year, generally in March or April.  The last ordinary annual meeting was held on April 8, 2005.  Extraordinary meetings may be called by the Board of Directors when deemed appropriate or when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of the issued voting shares or by the SVS.  To convene an extraordinary meeting, or an ordinary annual meeting, notice must be given by three publications in a prescribed manner in a newspaper of our corporate domicile.  The newspaper designated by our shareholders is the Santiago edition of El Mercurio.  The first notice must be published not less than 15 days nor more than 20 days in advance of the scheduled meeting.  Notice must also be mailed to each shareholder and given to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges.  The last extraordinary meeting of shareholders was held on March 26, 2004.

 

Under Chilean law, a quorum for a shareholders’ meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least a majority of the issued voting shares of a company.  If a quorum is not present at the first meeting, a reconvened meeting can take place at which the shareholders present are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the shares represented.  The second meeting must take place within 45 days following the scheduled date for the first meeting.  Shareholders’ meetings adopt resolutions by the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of those shares present, or represented, at the meeting.  Additionally, if a shareholders’ meeting is called for the purpose of considering:

 

      a transformation of the company into a different form of entity, a merger or division of the company;

 

      an amendment to the term of duration or early dissolution;

 

      a change in the corporation’s domicile;

 

      a decrease of corporate capital;

 

      approval of capital contributions in kind and assessment of such assets;

 

      modification of the authority reserved to shareholders or limitations on the Board of Directors’ powers;

 

      reduction in the number of members of the Board of Directors;

 

      disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the approval or the amendment of the business plan which contemplates the disposition of assets for such amount;

 

      the form of distributing corporate benefits;

 

      issue of guarantees for third parties’ liabilities which exceed 50% of the assets, but if the third party is a subsidiary of the company, the approval of the Board of Directors is sufficient;

 

      the purchase of the corporation’s own shares; or

 

134



 

      certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate by-laws.

 

Regardless of the quorum present, the vote required for the action is a two-thirds majority of the issued voting shares.

 

By-law amendments for the creation of a new class of shares, or an amendment to or an elimination of those classes of shares that already exist, must be approved by two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the affected series.

 

Shareholders are entitled to examine the books of the company within the 15-day period before the scheduled shareholders’ meeting.  Under Chilean law, a notice of a shareholders’ meeting listing matters to be addressed at the meeting must be mailed at least 15 days prior to the date of such meeting, and, in cases of an ordinary annual meeting, shareholders must be sent an annual report of the company’s activities which includes audited financial statements.  Limitations on the distribution of annual reports are established for the SVS in Circular No. 1,108.  In addition to these requirements, we regularly provide, and management currently intends to continue to provide, together with the notice of the ordinary shareholders’ meetings, a proposal for the final dividend and an explanation of the dividend policy for interim dividends for that current year, previously approved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Chilean Companies Act provides that, upon the request by shareholders representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares, a Chilean company’s annual report must include, in addition to the materials provided by the Board of Directors to shareholders, such shareholders’ comments and proposals in relation to the company’s affairs.  Similarly, the Chilean Companies Act provides that whenever the Board of Directors of a publicly held limited liability stock company convenes an ordinary meeting of shareholders and solicits proxies for the meeting, or circulates information supporting its decisions or other similar material, it is obligated to include the pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the company’s voting shares who request that such comments and proposals be so included.

 

Only shareholders registered as such with Enersis five business days prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote their shares.  A shareholder may appoint another individual, who need not be a shareholder as his proxy to attend and vote on his behalf.  Proxies for such representation shall be given in writing for all the shares held by the owner.  Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders’ meeting shall have one vote for every share subscribed.

 

Dividends and Liquidation Rights

 

In accordance with Chilean law, we are required to pay cash dividends equal to at least 30% of annual audited net income, calculated in accordance with Chilean GAAP (before negative goodwill amortization).  If there is no net income in a given year, we may, but are not legally obligated to, distribute dividends out of retained earnings.

 

Any dividend in excess of 30% of such net income may be paid, at the election of the shareholder, in cash, in Enersis’ shares or in shares of publicly held limited liability stock corporations held by Enersis.  Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have decided to receive the dividend in cash.

 

Dividends which are declared but not paid or held available to shareholders within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Companies Act — as to minimum dividends, 30 days after declaration; as to additional dividends, the date set for payment at the time of declaration — are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of UF, a Chilean inflation adjusted currency, from the date set for payment to the date such dividends are actually paid.  Such dividends also accrue interest at the then prevailing rate for UF-denominated deposits during such period.  The right to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date such dividend is payable.

 

In the event of a liquidation of Enersis, the holders of shares would participate in the assets available in proportion to the number of paid-in shares held by them, after payment of all creditors.

 

Approval of Financial Statements

 

The Board of Directors is required to submit Enersis’ financial statements to the shareholders annually for their approval.  If the shareholders by a vote of a majority of shares present (in person or by proxy) at the shareholders’

 

135



 

meeting reject the financial statements, the Board of Directors must submit new financial statements no later than 60 days from the date of such meeting.  If the shareholders reject the new financial statements, the entire Board of Directors is deemed removed from office and a new board is elected at the same meeting.  Directors who individually approved such financial statements are disqualified for re-election for the following period.  Our shareholders have never rejected the financial statements presented by the Board of Directors.

 

Change of Control

 

Our by-laws do not contain any provisions that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of Enersis.  Under new Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and Norma de Carácter General No. 104 enacted by the SVS on January 5, 2001, any person who directly or indirectly intends to take control of a publicly held limited liability stock company must disclose his intent to the market at least 10 business days in advance of the change of control and, in any event, as soon as the negotiations for the change of control have started.  If the change of control shall occur by means of a tender offer, the new provisions on tender offers will apply.

 

Acquisition of Shares

 

There are no provisions in our by-laws that discriminate against any existing or prospective holder of shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares, except for the maximum concentration limit of shares to be held or voted, which currently is set at 65%, and provided for in Articles 5 Bis and 27 Bis of our by-laws.

 

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares

 

The Chilean Companies Act provides that upon the adoption of any of the resolutions enumerated below at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders, dissenting shareholders acquire the right to withdraw from the company and to compel the company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions.  In order to exercise such rights, holders of ADRs must first withdraw the shares represented by their ADRs pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement.

 

“Dissenting” shareholders are defined as those who vote against a resolution that results in the withdrawal right, or who if absent from such meeting, state in writing their opposition to the respective resolution, within 30 days following the shareholders’ meeting where the resolution giving rise to the withdrawal right was approved.  The price paid to a dissenting shareholder of a publicly held limited liability stock company, the shares of which are quoted and actively traded on one of Chilean stock exchanges, is the greatest among (i) the weighted average of the sales prices for the shares as reported on the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are quoted for the two-month period preceding the shareholders’ meeting giving rise to the withdrawal right, and (ii) the market price resulting from the average price of transactions on such day.  If, because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and sellers, the SVS determined that the shares are not actively traded on a stock exchange, the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the book value.  Book value for this purpose shall equal paid capital plus reserves and profits, less losses, divided by the total number of subscribed shares, whether entirely or partially paid.  For the purpose of making this calculation, the last annual balance sheet is used, as adjusted to reflect inflation up to date of the shareholders’ meeting which gave rise to the withdrawal right.

 

The resolutions that result in a shareholder’s right to withdraw include, among others, the following:

 

      the transformation of the company into another type of entity;

 

      the merger of the company with another company;

 

      disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the approval or the amendment of the business plan which contemplates the disposition of assets for such amount;

 

      issue of guarantees for third parties’ liabilities which exceed 50% of the assets, but if the third party is a subsidiary of the company, the approval of the Board of Directors is sufficient;

 

136



 

      the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an amendment to the existing ones.  In this case the right to withdraw only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;

 

      certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate by-laws; and

 

      such other causes as may be established by a company’s by-laws.

 

Investments by AFPs

 

Title XII of DL-3500 permits AFPs to invest their fund assets in companies that are subject to Title XII and, subject to greater restrictions, in other companies.  The determination of which stocks may be purchased by AFPs is made by the Comisión Clasificadora de Riesgo, or the CCR.  The CCR establishes investment guidelines and is empowered to approve or disapprove those companies that are eligible for AFP investments.  Except for the period from March 2003 to March 2004, Enersis has been a Title XII Company since 1985 and is approved by the CCR.

 

Registrations and Transfers

 

The shares are currently registered by Enersis through an Administrative Agent named DCV Registros S.A.  This entity is responsible for Enersis’ shareholders registry as well.  In the case of jointly owned shares, an attorney-in-fact must be appointed to represent the joint owners in dealing with Enersis.

 

C.    Material contracts.

 

None.

 

D.    Exchange controls.

 

The Central Bank is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile.

 

On January 23, 2002, the Chilean Central Bank approved a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations that replaced the existing one.  The new Compendium is in effect since March 1, 2002.

 

With these new rules, the Central Bank ends a process of gradual deregulation of the foreign exchange market,

 

      This new Compendium enhances the information gathered by the Central Bank and the quality of such information.  In addition, this new Compendium includes the main rules that modified the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations in April 1991.  In other words, new cross-border investing and financing decisions will no longer be subject to any restrictions set forth in both Articles 42 and 49 of the Central Bank Law such as:

 

      the prior Central Bank authorization requirement for the entry of capital associated with foreign loans, investments, capital contributions, bonds and ADRs;

 

      the prior Central Bank authorization for capital remittances associated with returns of capital, dividends, and other benefits related to capital contributions, investments and prepayment of foreign loans;

 

      the prior Central Bank authorization for the return of capital, profits and other benefits associated with investments made by Chilean residents abroad;

 

      the limitations to the special prepayment and acceleration clauses contained in foreign loans;

 

      the restrictions of minimum risk classification and the weighted duration for the issuance of bonds;

 

      the limitations with respect to the currencies in which external debt can be issued or contracted;

 

      the restrictions to the issue of ADRs; and

 

137



 

      the reserve requirement on funds coming from abroad (which was already 0%).

 

The Compendium and International Bond Issuances

 

Chilean issuers may offer bonds internationally under Chapter XIV, as amended, of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “Compendium”), issued by the Central Bank.

 

Prior to September 17, 1998, foreign loans (including international bond offerings) granted to individuals or companies in Chile were subject to a mandatory deposit (“encaje”) of an amount equal to 10% (reduced from a prior level of 30%) of the proceeds of the loan (or bond offering) in a one-year, non-interest-bearing U.S. dollar account with the Central Bank (or to payment of a charge to the Central Bank on the next working day after the date of conversion of foreign currency into Chilean pesos in an amount equal to interest on such deposit at the rate of the twelve-month LIBOR for U.S. dollar deposits plus a market spread that currently approximates 4%).  On September 17, 1998, the encaje deposit requirement was reduced to 0%, and on April 19, 2001, the encaje was eliminated.  Despite this elimination, the Central Bank may at any time reinstate the encaje.

 

Foreign Investment Contract and Chapter XXVI

 

In connection with our initial offering of ADSs in 1993, we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Central Bank and Citibank N.A., New York, the Depositary, pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and Chapter XXVI of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank (“Chapter XXVI”), which governed the issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company.  Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract, the foreign exchange for payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs may be purchased in either the Formal Exchange Market or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments must be necessarily remitted through the Formal Exchange Market.  A new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations in force since April 19, 2001 eliminated Chapter XXVI.  This Compendium was restated and has been in force since March 1, 2002.  As a result of the elimination of Chapter XXVI, there is no longer assured access to the Formal Exchange Market.  However, because the Foreign Investment Contract was entered into pursuant to Chapter XXVI, the principles of Chapter XXVI still apply to its terms.  Foreign investors who have purchased their shares under a Foreign Investment Contract pursuant to Chapter XXVI continue to have access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of converting Chilean pesos to U.S.$ and repatriating from Chile amounts received with respect to the deposited shares of common stock or shares of common stock withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying shares of common stock and any rights with respect thereto).  The Foreign Investment Contracts cannot be modified or terminated without the consent of all parties, and therefore foreign investors who have purchased their shares under a Foreign Investment Contract will continue to have access to the Formal Exchange Market.  However, foreign investors who did not deposit their shares of common stock into our ADS facility will not have the benefits of our foreign investment contract with the Central Bank but instead will be subject to the normal foreign investment rules.

 

The following is a summary of certain provisions which were contained in Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, and which therefore remain relevant.  This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract.

 

Under Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing or domiciled in Chile who withdraws common stock upon delivery of ADRs (such shares of common stock being referred to herein as “Withdrawn Shares”) access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars (and to remit such U.S. dollars outside of Chile), including amounts received as:

 

      cash dividends;

 

       proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares subject to receipt by the Central Bank of a certificate from the holder of the Withdrawn Shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank) that such holder’s residence and domicile are outside Chile and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that such Withdrawn Shares were sold on a Chilean stock exchange;

 

138



 

      proceeds from the sale in Chile of rights to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock;

 

      proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of our company; and

 

      other distributions, including without limitation those resulting from any recapitalization, as a result of holding shares of Common Stock represented by ADSs or Withdrawn Shares.

 

Transferees of Withdrawn Shares were not entitled to any of the foregoing rights under Chapter XXVI.  Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADRs had the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that certain conditions relating to redeposit were satisfied.

 

Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments was conditioned upon certification by us to the Central Bank that a dividend payment has been made and any applicable tax has been withheld.  Chapter XXVI also provided that the access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares or distributions thereon was conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of certification by the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such Shares have been withdrawn in exchange for ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect thereto until such Withdrawn Shares were redeposited.

 

The Foreign Investment Contract provides that a person who brings foreign currency into Chile to purchase shares of common stock with the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract must convert it into Chilean pesos on the same date and has five banking business days within which to invest in shares of common stock in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract.  If such person decides within such period not to acquire shares of common stock, such person can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire U.S.$, provided that the applicable request is presented to the Central Bank within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos.  Shares acquired as described above may be deposited for ADRs and receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of a certificate from the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such deposit has been effected and that the related ADRs have been issued and receipt of a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited shares of common stock.

 

Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic.  Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access required approval of the Central Bank based on a request therefore presented through a banking institution established in Chile.  The Foreign Investment Contract provides that if the Central Bank has not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

 

In November 1995, the Central Bank amended Chapter XXVI to regulate secondary offerings of ADSs by companies that have previously entered into a Foreign Investment Contract.  In accordance with the new regulations, we entered into an amended Foreign Investment Contract in connection with its offering of ADSs completed in February 1996 to comply with the rules in effect on the date of Central Bank approval of the new issuance of ADSs.

 

On November 16, 1999, the Central Bank issued new regulations which amended Chapter XXVI.  Among the amendments, Chapter XXVI required that foreign currency that entered Chile pursuant to Chapter XXVI be converted into Chilean pesos in the Formal Exchange Market, and the shares evidencing ADRs only be paid in Chilean pesos.  In addition, foreign currency required to remit the proceeds of the sale of the underlying shares be acquired alternatively in the Formal or in the Informal Exchange Market, although remittance of such amounts necessarily was to be made through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., through a bank).  On May 12, 2000, the rule that required that the invested capital remain in the country for at least one year before being repatriated was eliminated.

 

In connection with our capital increase approved in our shareholders’ meeting of April 30, 1999, we first amended our Foreign Investment Contract on September 7, 2000 and subsequently entered into a new Foreign Investment Contract on October 12, 2000.

 

Under current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be changed unilaterally by the Central Bank.  It is not certain, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of underlying shares of Common Stock or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition could

 

139



 

not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.

 

E.     Taxation.

 

Chilean Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion summarizes material Chilean income and withholding tax consequences to beneficial owners arising from the receipt, the exercise and/or the sale of ADS rights as well as from the purchase, ownership and disposition of the shares and ADSs.  The summary which follows does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares or ADSs and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules.  Holders of shares and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean and other tax consequences of the ownership of shares or ADSs.

 

The summary which follows is based on Chilean law, as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to any changes in these or other laws occurring after such date, possibly with retroactive effect.  Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another law.  In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of Chilean tax law.  Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change their rulings, regulations and interpretations prospectively.  The discussion which follows is also based, in part, on representations of the depositary, and assumes that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreements will be performed in accordance with its terms.  There is no income tax treaty in force between Chile and the United States.

 

As used in this annual report, the term “foreign holder” means either:

 

      in the case of an individual, a person who is not a resident in Chile; for purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual holder is resident in Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year, or a total of more than six months in two consecutive fiscal years; or

 

      in the case of a legal entity, an entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, unless the shares or ADSs are assigned to a branch, agent, representative or permanent establishment of such entity in Chile.

 

Taxation of Shares and ADSs

 

Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions

 

Cash dividends paid with respect to the shares or ADSs held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld and paid over by the company.  A credit against the Chilean withholding tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax actually paid by the company on the income to be distributed; however, this credit does not reduce the Chilean withholding tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Chilean withholding tax is imposed.  In addition, if the company distributes less than all of its distributable income, the credit for the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company is proportionately reduced.  On September 28, 2001, the Chilean corporate tax rate was amended.  Until December 31, 2001, the corporate tax rate was 15%.  For 2002, the corporate tax rate increased to 16%.  For 2003, the corporate tax rate increased to 16.5% and since 2004 it has been 17%.  The example below illustrates the effective Chilean withholding tax burden on a cash dividend received by a foreign holder, assuming a Chilean withholding tax rate of 35%, an effective Chilean corporate income tax rate of 17% and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the company distributable after payment of the Chilean corporate income tax:

In general, the effective dividend Chilean withholding tax rate, after giving effect to the credit for the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company, can be computed using the following formula:

 

Effective Dividend

 

=

 

(Withholding tax rate) – (Chilean corporate income tax rate)

Withholding Tax Rate

 

 

1 – (Chilean corporate income tax rate)

 

Dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of the Company’s oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of Chilean corporate income tax that was paid by the Company.  For information as to the retained earnings of the Company for tax purposes and the tax credit available on the distribution of such retained earnings, see note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Under Chilean tax law, dividend distributions made in property are subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.  Stock dividends are not subject to Chilean taxation.

 

Taxation on Sale or Exchange of Shares or ADSs

 

Gains obtained by a foreign holder from the sale or exchange of ADSs, or ADRs evidencing ADSs, outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation.

 

Taxation on shares acquired on or before April 19, 2001

 

Gain recognized on a sale or exchange of shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares) will be subject to both a 17% Chilean income tax and the 35% Chilean withholding tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if either the foreign holder:

 

      has held the shares for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the shares; or

 

      acquired and disposed of the shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a habitual trader of shares.

 

In all other cases, gain on the disposition of shares will be subject to a 17% Chilean income tax but will not be subject to the 35% Chilean withholding tax.

 

Taxation on shares acquired after April 19, 2001

 

On November 7, 2001, the income tax law was amended in order to create a tax exemption on capital gains arising from the sale of shares of listed companies traded in the stock markets.  Although there are certain restrictions established in the amended income tax law, in general terms, the amendment provides that in order to have access to the capital gain exemption: (i) the shares must be of a public stock corporation with a certain minimum level of trading in a stock exchange; (ii) the sale must be carried out in a Chilean stock exchange, or in another stock exchange authorized by the SVS, or in a tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law; (iii) the shares which are being sold must have been acquired on a stock exchange, or in a tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, or in an initial public offering (due to the creation of a company or to a capital increase), or due to the exchange of convertible bonds; and (iv) the shares must have been acquired after April 19, 2001.

 

The tax basis of shares received in exchange for ADSs will be the acquisition value of the shares.  The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which values shares at the highest price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, will determine the acquisition value for this purpose.  Consequently, the conversion of ADSs into shares and the immediate sale of the shares for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile.

 

141



 

Taxation of Rights and ADS Rights

 

For Chilean tax purposes, the receipt of rights or ADS rights by a foreign holder of shares or ADSs pursuant to a rights offering is a non-taxable event.  In addition, there are no Chilean income tax consequences to foreign holders upon the exercise or the lapse of the rights or the ADS rights.  Any gain on the sale, exchange or transfer of the rights by a foreign holder is subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax.

 

Other Chilean Taxes

 

There are no gift, inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of ADSs by a foreign holder, but such taxes will generally apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the shares by a foreign holder.  There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of shares or ADSs.

 

United States Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ADSs or shares to a beneficial owner that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, or (iii) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.  The discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect or proposed, any of which is subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.

 

This discussion deals only with our ADSs or shares held by you as capital assets as defined in Section 1221 of the Code and does not address the tax treatment to you, if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws such as:

 

      certain financial institutions;

 

      a dealer in securities or foreign currencies;

 

      a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;

 

      an insurance company;

 

      a tax-exempt entity;

 

      a person subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

      partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

      a person who will hold our ADSs or shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;

 

      a person that has a principal place of business or “tax home” outside the United States, or a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

      a person who acquired our ADSs or shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and

 

      a person owning directly, indirectly or by attribution 10% or more of our capital stock.

 

Moreover, the effect of any applicable U.S. state or local tax laws as well as of any foreign taxing jurisdiction is not discussed herein.

 

142



 

In general, if you hold ADSs, you will be treated as the holder of underlying shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if you exchange ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs.

 

Unless otherwise stated, this discussion assumes that we are not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described more fully below.  This discussion also assumes that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms and that the representations made by the Depositary regarding the pre-release of our ADRs are true.  The U.S. Treasury has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits.  Such actions would also be inconsistent with claiming the 15% rate described below applicable to certain dividends received by non-corporate holders.  Accordingly, the creditability of Chilean taxes and the availability of the 15% rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by parties to whom ADSs are pre-released.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

To the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles), distributions made in respect of our ADSs or shares, other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares (including amounts withheld by us in respect of Chilean taxes) will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to you and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.  Subject to applicable limitations and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009, will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15%.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of this rate in their particular circumstances.  The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of the property on the date of distribution.

 

Dividends paid in Chilean pesos will be includeable in income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date you (or in the case of ADSs, the depositary) actually or constructively receive such dividends, regardless of whether the pesos are in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time.  If you hold shares, dividends are treated as received on the date you receive your distribution.  If you hold ADSs, that date would be the date on which the Depositary receives the distribution.  If items received in pesos are not converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received, you may be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss (which will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss, as the case may be) upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the pesos.

 

Effect of Chilean withholding taxes

 

Payments of dividends on our ADSs or shares to foreign investors are subject to Chilean withholding taxes.  For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will be treated as having received the gross amount of any dividend paid, including the net amount of Chilean taxes withheld by us, and then as having paid over the withheld taxes to the Chilean tax authorities.  As a result, the amount of dividend income includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes by you in connection with a payment of dividends will be greater than the amount of cash actually received by you.

 

However, subject to generally applicable limitations and restrictions, which may vary depending upon your circumstances, and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, you will be entitled to a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, or a deduction in computing your U.S. federal taxable income, for the net amount of Chilean income taxes withheld by us.  The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately for specific classes of income.  The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the extent to which you are entitled to foreign tax credits with respect to dividends paid on our ADSs or shares.

 

Sale or other disposition

 

Upon a sale or other disposition of our ADSs or shares, you generally will recognize a capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or disposition and

 

143



 

your adjusted tax basis in the ADSs or shares.  This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held our ADSs or shares for more than one year on the date of disposition.  Capital losses are subject to limitations.  Any gain or loss will generally be U.S-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.  Certain gains recognized upon a sale or exchange of our shares (but not ADSs that are disposed of outside Chile) are subject to Chilean income taxes.  Due to generally applicable limitations and restrictions, those taxes may not be creditable against your U.S. federal income tax liability.  You are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the extent to which you may be entitled to foreign tax credits with respect to taxes paid with respect to gains recognized upon sale or exchange of our shares or ADSs.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company rules

 

We believe that we will not be considered a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the 2005 taxable year.  We believe that we have never been a PFIC and that it is unlikely that we will become a PFIC in the foreseeable future.  However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets (including, among others, less-than-25-percent-owned equity investments) from time to time, and because it is unclear whether certain types of our income constitute passive income for PFIC purposes, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.

 

If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which you held an ADS or a share, certain adverse consequences could apply to you, including the imposition of higher amounts of tax than would otherwise apply and additional tax form filing requirements.  You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the consequences to you if we were considered to be a PFIC, as well as the availability and advisability of making an election to avoid the adverse United States federal income tax consequences of PFIC status should we be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year.

 

Backup withholding and other reporting requirements

 

Payment of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless (i) you are a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, you provide a correct taxpayer identification number and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding.  Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Enersis is exposed to various market volatilities; the most important are volatilities in (i) commodity price, as a result of long-term energy sale contracts; (ii) interest rate, since we have debt which bears floating interest rates and (iii) foreign currency, since part of our debt is denominated in currencies different than the currencies of own cash flows from assets.  These risks are monitored and managed by our finance department and finance committee, which in turn report directly to the Board of Directors.  The Company has standardized norms and procedures that regulate the management of foreign exchange and interest rate risks.  These norms and procedures are obligatory for each of the Company’s subsidiaries.  In addition, each subsidiary has its own hedging policies that are reviewed by the finance department of Enersis, and comply with Enersis policies.  The tables included in this section show the net debt position of Enersis after cross-currency swaps, interest rate collars and interest rate swaps.

 

Our core businesses are the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.  We do not enter into financial instruments for non-trading or speculative purposes.  As a result, all market risks are trading risks.

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

In our electricity generation business we are exposed to market risks arising from the volatility of electricity, fuel oil, natural gas and coal prices.  In order to manage these exposures, we enter into long-term contracts with suppliers and customers.  In Brazil and Argentina we also enter into contracts to secure long-term supplies of electricity for our interconnection business between Argentina and Brazil.  All contracts that constitute commodity-price sensitive instruments held as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 related to electricity were entered into for trading purposes.

 

We are exposed to the volatility of natural gas prices in the Chilean and Argentine markets.  We seek to ensure our supply of this commodity by securing long-term contracts with our suppliers for terms that are expected to match the lifetime of our generation assets.  These contracts generally provide for us to purchase gas at market prices prevailing at the time the purchase occurs.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 we did not hold any contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments related to natural gas.

 

We are exposed to the volatility of coal prices in the Chilean and Colombian market.  We manage our exposure to this commodity by entering into short-term contracts with our suppliers.  We believe that our exposure to this commodity is immaterial.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 we did not hold any contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments related to coal.

 

The following tables set forth certain information with respect to electricity price-sensitive instruments issued or held by the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 differentiated by power market and company.  These electricity price-sensitive instruments are power forward contracts with multiple delivery dates and require physical delivery.  Net settlement is not allowed for any of the contracts.  Most contracts have optionality features in quantities and prices with indexation clauses to factors such as inflation indices, foreign currencies and natural gas prices in Argentina.  In the construction of these tables management makes assumptions using available market data and pricing models.  Inputs to pricing models include estimated forward prices of electricity and natural gas, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation indices, transmission costs and others.  These inputs become more difficult to predict and the estimates less precise as the term of the contract increases.  As a result, fair values are highly

 

dependent upon the assumptions being used. Intercompany amounts have not been eliminated in the following tables.

Interest Rate Risk

 

Of our total outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2005, 19% of such debt bore interest at floating rates compared to 16% in 2004.

 

We manage interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of both variable and fixed rate debt. Additionally, we manage interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps and collars. The above percentages include the effect of interest rate derivatives (swaps or collars) that hedge part of our debt.

 

As of December 31, 2005, the recorded values of our financial debt for accounting purposes, and the corresponding fair values of the significant financial instruments exposing us to interest rate risk are as follows, according to the date of maturity:

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-term debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which is the dollar. This risk is mitigated, as a substantial portion of our revenues is linked to the dollar either directly or indirectly. As of December 31, 2005, Enersis had total consolidated indebtedness of U.S.$ 6,867 million, which includes the effect of currency hedging instruments. From this amount, U.S.$ 3,402 million, or approximately 50%, was denominated in U.S. dollars.  For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, our revenues amounted to U.S.$ 7,036 million (before consolidation adjustments) of which U.S.$ 402 million, or approximately 6%, were denominated in U.S. dollars, and U.S.$ 1,036 million, or approximately 15%, were linked in some way to the U.S. dollar.  In the aggregate, approximately 20% of our revenues (before consolidation adjustments) were either in U.S. dollars or correlated to such currency through some form of indexation.  On the other hand, the equivalent of U.S.$ 1,514 million were revenues in pesos, which represents approximately 22% of our 2005 revenues (before consolidation adjustments).  Accordingly, we remain subject to such exchange rate fluctuations between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar, which we manage through the use of U.S. dollar/UF

 

147



 

(inflation-indexed Chilean peso) exchange currency swaps and dollar/Chilean peso forward foreign exchange contracts.

 

Prior to our acquisition of a controlling interest in Endesa Chile, we did not manage foreign exchange rate risk. This risk management became active in 1999 due to the instability of the Chilean peso and the change in the trend in which the UF, or inflation-indexed peso, began to devaluate against the United States dollar.  Moreover, during 2004, we changed our corporate currency risk policy from a pure accounting hedge to a cash flow hedge.  This policy takes the level of operating income of each country that is indexed to the United States dollar and seeks to hedge them with liabilities in the same currency.

 

In addition, our currency risk policy determines a maximum level of consolidated accounting mismatch.  We manage that accounting risk through short-term hedging instruments until the difference between assets and liabilities in U.S. dollars returns to levels below the maximum permitted.

 

Although the actual foreign currency exchange risk to which we are exposed depends upon the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in which monetary assets and liabilities are maintained as compared to the Chilean peso, for accounting purposes our results from operations are affected by variations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso, due to the application of Technical Bulletin No. 64.  Under this Chilean accounting standard, the effects of re-measuring many of our non-Chilean investments into U.S. dollars are recorded in income, while the accumulated effects of Chilean peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in equity, net of any price-level restatement, due to the effects of Chilean inflation on such foreign investment amounts.

 

Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the results from operations for the period together with price-level restatement.

 

As of December 31, 2005, the recorded values of our financial debt for accounting purposes and the corresponding fair values of the significant financial instruments exposing us to foreign currency risk are as follows, according to the date of maturity:

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

 

In order to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in 2003 Enersis began to implement a system of controls within the parameters of Sections 404 and 302.  The critical areas in which the standards of control required improvement were detected in the first stage of this project, which was completed in 2003.  The improvements recommended were implemented during 2004 and 2005 and the results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of control and procedures have not revealed any material weakness.

 

Enersis’ management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of Enersis’ disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2005.

 

Based on this evaluation, Enersis’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Enersis’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information Enersis is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Enersis’ management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

 

There have been no significant changes in Enersis’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 16. [Reserved]

 

Item 16A.      Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

On June 29, 2005 the Board of Directors determined that Rafael Español is an audit committee financial expert as defined under Item 16A of Form 20-F, is serving on the audit committee and is an independent member of the Audit Committee.

 

Item 16B.      Code of Ethics

 

The standards of ethical conduct at Enersis are governed by means of two corporate rulings or policies: the Charter Governing Executives (estatutos del directivo) and the Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets.

 

The Charter Governing Executives, approved as a corporate statute, was adopted by the Board of Directors in May 2003 and is applicable to all managers contractually related to Enersis, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior financial officers of the Company, and to all controlled subsidiaries in which Enersis is the majority shareholder, both in Chile and internationally.  The objective of this statute is to establish standards for the governance of our management’s actions.

 

The Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets, adopted by Enersis’ Board of Directors in January 2002, sets the criteria to be followed in market operations in order to make the market more transparent and to protect market investors.  It is applicable to members of the Board of Directors, the senior executives and the

 

executives and employees of Enersis determined by the Chief Executive Officer, and known to the Chairman, who work in areas related to the securities market or have access to privileged information.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

Enersis’ external auditors are appointed by its shareholders at the annual shareholders’ meeting.  Similarly, the shareholders of our subsidiaries abroad appoint their respective external auditors, according to the applicable law and regulations established in each country.

 

The Audit Committee, through Enersis’ internal audit department, manages appointment proposals, review of engagement letters, fee negotiations, quality control in respect of the services provided, review and control of independence issues, and other matters.

 

Fees payable in connection with recurring audit services are approved as part of our annual budget.  Fees payable in connection with non-recurring audit services, once they have been analyzed by the internal audit department, are submitted to the Audit Committee for approval or denial.

 

The Audit Committee has a pre-approval policy regarding the contracting of Enersis’ external auditor, or any affiliate of the external auditor, for professional services.  The professional services covered by such policy include audit and non-audit services provided to Enersis.

 

The pre-approval policy established by the Audit Committee for non-audit services is as follows:

 

151



 

      The business unit that has requested the service and the audit firm requested to perform the service must request that the corporate audit manager review the nature of the service to be provided.

 

      The corporate audit department must analyze the request and require the audit firm that has been requested to provide the service to issue a certificate signed by the partner responsible for the audit of our consolidated financial statements confirming such audit firm’s independence.

 

      Finally, the proposal is submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval.

 

Since July 2005, all services described in footnotes (1), (2) and (3) above were approved in accordance with the procedures described immediately above.  Prior to July 2005, any services provided by Deloitte that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit were required to be pre-approved by the Board of Directors prior to any engagement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders of Enersis S.A.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enersis S.A. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 (expressed in constant Chilean pesos).  Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index to Item 18. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We did not audit the financial statements of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (a subsidiary) and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries and certain of its equity method investees, which statements reflect total assets constituting 31.19% and 29.93% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively, and total revenues constituting 30.40%, 23.72% and 22.00% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.  With respect to the consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income information stated on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in Note 36, these financial statements reflect total shareholders’ equity constituting 18.80% and 21.22% of consolidated U.S. GAAP basis shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and total net income constituting 58.46%, 33.72% and 44.98% of consolidated U.S. GAAP basis net income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been provided to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these companies, is based solely on the reports of such other auditors.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Enersis S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations, changes in their shareholders’ equity and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.  Also, in our opinion and (as to the amounts included for the companies which we did not audit as discussed in the first paragraph herein) the reports of other auditors, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of net income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, and the determination of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, to the extent summarized in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Our audits also comprehended the translation of constant Chilean Peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 (c). Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in the United States of America.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

(Translation of report originally issued in Spanish-See Note 2 (a))

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile):

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endesa-Chile and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets representing 38.87 percent and 40.89 percent as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and total revenues representing of 39.38 percent, 38.78 percent and 37.39 percent for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, respectively. We also did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method, which represented 0.18 percent and 7.7 percent of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and the equity in their net results represented 14.87 percent, 0.74 percent and 11.7 percent of the consolidated net income for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (see Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements). Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

As described in Notes 3 and 32(d), beginning on January 1, 2004 the Company changed its method of accounting for staff severance indemnities to record the future obligation using an actuarial valuation.

Central Hidroelectrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P. and subsidiaries:

 

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Central Hidroelectrica de Betania S.A.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Central Hidroelectrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of net income for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 and the determination of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 and 2004 to the extent summarized in Note 27.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the President and Board of Directors of

Endesa Argentina S.A.:

 

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Endesa Argentina S.A. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 (none of which are presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endesa Argentina S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of net income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and the determination of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004 and 2005, to the extent summarized in Note 39.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders of Endesa Brasil S.A.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three month period then ended (expressed in constant Chilean pesos) (none of which are presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements for the three month period ended December 31, 2005 of certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets constituting 35.95% of consolidated total assets at December 31 2005 and total revenues constituting 9.92% of consolidated total revenues for the three month period then ended. With respect to the consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income information stated on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in Note 24, these financial statements reflect total shareholders’ equity constituting 48.04% of consolidated U.S. GAAP basis shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 and total net income constituting 12.25%, of consolidated U.S. GAAP basis net income for the three month period then ended. Such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been provided to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these companies, is based solely on the reports of such other auditors.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations, changes in their shareholders’ equity and their cash flows for the three month period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile vary in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of net income for the three months period ended December 31, 2005, and the determination of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2005, to the extent summarized in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant

Chilean pesos of December 31, 2005, except as stated)

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005

 

As used in these financial statements

 

Note 1.                            Description of Business

 

ENERSIS S.A. (the “Company”) is registered in the Securities Register under No.0175 and is regulated by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (the “SVS”). The Company issued publicly registered American Depositary Receipts in 1993 and 1996. ENERSIS S.A. is a reporting company under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, Chilectra S.A. (“Chilectra”) and Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“Endesa Chile”) are registered in the Securities Register under No.0321 and 0114, respectively.

 

Note 2.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a)              General

 

(i)             The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile and the regulations established by the SVS (collectively “Chilean GAAP”), and the specific corporate regulations of Law No.18,046, related to the formation, registration and liquidation of Chilean corporations, among others. Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Chilean GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In certain cases generally accepted accounting principles in Chile require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold or the amount at which a liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Where available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for the measurement; however, where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company has estimated such values based on the best information available, including using modeling and other valuation techniques.

(1)     Investluz is Parent Company of Companhia Energética do Céará S.A. Coelce.

 

(2)     On April 30, 2003, Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A. was sold to Compañía General de Electricidad Industrial S.A. and, as a result that company was desconsolidated as of January 1, 2003 and was accounted for as equity method investee until the sale was completed.

 

(3)     Enersis de Argentina S.A. and Enersis Energía de Colombia S.A. were dissolved during 2003.

 

(4)     On May 27, 2004, 99.9989% of Elesur S.A. was purchased, therefore, as from that date it is consolidated into ENERSIS S.A. financial statements.

 

(5)     On July 9, 2004 the subsidiary Luz de Bogotá S.A., which had investment in Codensa, was liquidated. As a result of the liquidation, the Enersis and Chilectra agencies that owned Luz de Bogotá S.A. shares have direct investment in Codensa S.A.

 

Codensa S.A. is consolidated because of the majority presence on the board of directors, obtained through the shareholders’ agreement of January 27, 2004, between Endesa Internacional and subsidiaries of ENERSIS S.A.

 

(6)     As a result of the creation of the Brasilian holding company, Endesa Brasil S.A. (“Endesa Brasil”) (see Note 11.n), this company and its subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements of ENERSIS S.A. The following pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the additional shareholding in Compañía de Interconexion Energética S.A. and Central Geradora Termelectrica Fortaleza S.A., as if this additional shareholding occurred as of December 31, 2004. The following pro forma income statement information for the year ended December 31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition of additional shareholding in these subsidiaries as if it took place on October 1, 2004. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

b)              Years covered

 

These financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the results of its operations, the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

 

c)              Constant currency restatement

 

The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Chilean Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 was approximately 7.1%.

 

Chilean GAAP requires that the financial statements be restated to reflect the full effects of gain or loss in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso on the financial position and results of operations of reporting entities. The method described below is based on a model that enables calculation of net inflation gains or losses caused by monetary assets and liabilities exposed to changes in the purchasing power of local currency. The model prescribes that the historical cost of all non-monetary accounts be restated for general price-level changes between the date of origin of each item and the year-end.

 

The financial statements of the Company have been price-level restated in order to reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean currency during each year. All non-monetary assets and liabilities, all equity accounts and income statement accounts have been restated to reflect the changes in the CPI from the date they were acquired or incurred to year-end (see also Note 24).

 

The purchasing power gain or loss included in net income reflects the effects of Chilean inflation on the assets and liabilities held by the Company.

 

The restatements were calculated using the official consumer price index of the National Institute of Statistics and based on the “prior month rule,” in which the inflation adjustments are based on the CPI at the close of the month preceding the close of the respective year or transaction. This index is considered by the business community, the accounting profession and the Chilean government to be the index that most closely complies with the technical requirement to reflect the variation in the general level of prices in Chile, and consequently it is widely used for financial reporting purposes.

The above-mentioned price-level restatements do not purport to represent appraisal or replacement values and are only intended to restate all non-monetary financial statement components in terms of local currency of a single purchasing power and to include in net income or loss for each year the gain or loss in purchasing power arising from the holding of monetary assets and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation.

 

Index-linked assets and liabilities

 

Assets and liabilities that are denominated in index-linked units of account are stated at the year-end values of the respective units of account. The principal index-linked unit used in Chile is the Unidad de Fomento (“UF”), which is adjusted daily to reflect the changes in Chile’s CPI. Certain of the Company’s investments are linked to the UF. As the Company’s indexed liabilities exceed its indexed assets, the increase in the index results in a net loss on indexation. Values for the UF are as follows (historical Chilean pesos per UF):

Comparative financial statements

 

For comparative purposes, the 2003 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and the amounts disclosed in the related Notes have been restated in terms of Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2005, purchasing power.

 

This updating does not change the prior years’ statements or information in any way except to update the amounts to constant Chilean pesos of similar purchasing power.

 

F-24



 

Convenience translation to U.S. dollars

 

The financial statements are stated in Chilean pesos. The translations of Chilean pesos into US dollars are included solely for the convenience of the reader, using the observed exchange rate reported by the Chilean Central Bank as of December 31, 2005 of Ch$512.50 to US$1.00. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the Chilean peso amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into US dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

e)     Time deposits and marketable securities

 

Time deposits are presented at original placement plus accrued interest and UF indexation adjustments, as applicable. Marketable securities include investments in quoted shares that are valued at the lower of cost or market value. The investments are in both short-term highly liquid fixed rate investment shares and mutual fund units valued at cost plus interest and indexation or redemption value as appropriate (Note 4).

 

f)     Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts have been made considering the aging and nature of the accounts receivables. Accounts receivable are classified as current or long-term, depending on their collection terms. Current and long-term trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts (see Note 5). The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to ThCh$110,846,643, ThCh$108,102,126 and ThCh$130,679,435 as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In addition, the total sum owed by companies that have gone into bankruptcy amounting to ThCh$872,318 in 2003, ThCh$941,279 in 2004 and ThCh$1,562,301 in 2005 is included in the bad debt allowance estimation.

 

F-22



 

g)    Inventories

 

Inventory of materials in transit, and operation and maintenance materials on hand, are valued at the lower of price-level restated cost or net realizable value.

 

Real estate projects’ under development inventory includes the cost of land, demolition, urbanizing, payments to contractors and other direct costs.

 

h)    Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are valued at net replacement cost as determined by the former Superintendency of Electric and Gas Services (SEG) adjusted for price-level restatement in accordance with D.F.L. No.4 of 1959. The latest valuation under the D.F.L. 4 was in 1980.

 

Property, plant and equipment acquired after the latest valuation of net replacement cost are shown at cost, plus price-level restatement. Interest on debt directly obtained to finance construction of power generation projects is capitalized during the term of construction.

 

In 1986, an increase based upon a technical appraisal of property, plant and equipment was recorded in the manner authorized by the SVS in Circulars No.’s 550 and 566 dated October 15 and December 16, 1985, respectively, and Communication No.4790, dated December 11, 1985.

 

Under Bulletin 33, the Company is required to evaluate the recoverability of its property, plant and equipment when certain indicators of impairment exist. The Company has not identified any impairments to property, plant and equipment as a result of applying Technical Bulletin No. 33.

 

i)     Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense is calculated on the revalued balances using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The table below provides the useful life range for our most significant fixed assets classes.

j)     Leased assets

 

The leased assets, whose contracts have financial lease characteristics, are accounted for as an acquisition of property, plant and equipment, recognizing the total obligation and the unrecorded interest. Said assets do not legally belong to the Company, for this reason, as long as the purchase option is not exercised, it will not be able to freely dispose of them.

 

F-23



 

k)    Power installations financed by third parties

 

As established by D.F.L. 1 of the Ministry of Mines dated September 13, 1982, power facilities financed by third parties are treated as reimbursable contributions. As such facilities form part of the Company’s plant and equipment.

 

Contributions completed prior to D.F.L. 1 are deducted from Plant and equipment and their depreciation is charged to Power facilities financed by third parties.

 

l)     Investments in related companies

 

Under the provisions of Technical Bulletin 72, the Company is required to evaluate investments in related companies for impairment when certain indicators exist. Impairment is measured based on the excess carrying amount over the estimated recoverable amount of investments.

 

Investments in foreign affiliates are recorded in accordance with Technical Bulletin No.64 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. Under Technical Bulletin No.64 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, investments in foreign subsidiaries are price-level restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of the foreign exchange gains or losses between the Chilean peso and the US dollar on the foreign investment measured in US dollars, are reflected in equity in the account “Cumulative Translation Adjustment”.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluate the recoverability of their foreign investments as required by Technical Bulletin No.72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries have not identified impairments in the net book values of its investments.

n)    Severance indemnities

 

The severance indemnity that the Company is obliged to pay to its employees under collective bargaining agreements is stated at the present value of the benefit under the vested cost method, discounted at 6.5% in 2005 and 2004, and 9.5% in 2003 and assuming an average employment span which varies based upon years of service with the Company.

 

o)     Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from electric power generation and distribution services, and include energy supplied and unbilled at each year-end. Revenues are valued using rates in effect when services are provided to customers. Accrued unbilled revenues are presented in current assets as trade receivable and the corresponding cost is included in cost of sales.

 

The Company also recognizes revenues for amounts received from highway tolls for motorized vehicles, income related to computer advisory services, engineering services, sale of materials and sale of real estate.

 

F-24

The Company records deferred income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No.60 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, and with Circular No.1466 issued on January 27, 2000 by the SVS, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities using the tax rates estimated to be in effect at the time of reversal of the temporary differences that gave rise to them.

 

r)     Accrued vacation expense

 

In accordance with Technical Bulletin No.47 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, employee vacation expense is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

s)     Reverse repurchase agreements

 

Reverse repurchase agreements are included in “Other current assets” and are stated at cost plus interest and indexation accrued at year-end, in conformity with the related contracts.

 

t)     Statements of cash flows

 

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been prepared in accordance with the indirect method.

 

Investments considered as cash equivalents, as indicated in point 6.2 of Technical Bulletin No.50 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, include time deposits, investments in fixed income securities classified as marketable securities, repurchase agreements classified as other current assets, and other cash balances classified as other accounts receivable with maturities less than 90 days.

 

For classification purposes, cash flows from operations include collections from clients and payments to suppliers, payroll and taxes.

 

u)    Financial derivative contracts

 

As of December 31, 2004 and 2005 the Company and its subsidiaries have forward contracts, currency swaps, and interest rate swaps and collars with several financial institutions, to hedge against mainly foreign currency and interest risk exposures, which are recorded according to Technical Bulletin No.57 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. If the derivative foreign exchange contract qualifies for hedge accounting, it is recorded at estimated fair value, and the corresponding gain or loss is deferred and recorded as an offsetting asset or liability until settlement, at which time it is recognized in earnings as “Other non-operating income and expense”.

 

F-25



 

v)     Goodwill and negative goodwill

 

Goodwill and negative goodwill are determined according to Circular No.1697 of the SVS (which superseded Circular 368 as of December 30, 2003). Amortization is determined using the straight-line method, considering the nature and characteristic of each investment, foreseeable life of the business and investment return, not to exceed 20 years.

 

As of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 the Company evaluated the recoverability of its goodwill and negative goodwill value arising from investments abroad and under the guidance of Technical Bulletin No.72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants. The Company has not identified any impairment as a result of that evaluation.

 

w)    Pension and post-retirement benefits

 

Pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded in accordance with the respective collective bargaining contracts of the employees based on the actuarially determined projected benefit obligation, and using an annual discount rate of 6.5%.

 

x)     Bonds

 

Bonds payable are recorded at the face value of the bonds. The difference between the face value and the placement value, equal to the premium or discount, is deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds.

 

y)     Investments in other companies

 

Investments in other companies are presented at acquisition cost adjusted for price-level restatement, as they do not trade in an organized market and because the Company does not exercise significant influence.

 

z)     Research and development costs

 

Costs incurred by the Company in research and development relate mainly to water-level studies, hydroelectric research, and seismic-activity surveys which are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in performing studies related to specific construction projects are capitalized. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 no such costs were incurred.

 

aa)   Cost of share issue

 

Costs incurred to date associated with issuing and placing shares are recorded according to the provisions of Circular No.1370 of 1998 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. The amounts are deducted from the share premium account. A breakdown of the costs is shown in Note 27.

 

ab)   Litigation and other legal action

 

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has established accruals for probable losses in the aggregate amount of ThCh$13,018,734 (ThUS$25,402), including accruals Endesa Chile has established in the amount of ThCh$8,691,873 (ThUS$16,960). See Note 30 for detail of claims to which such accruals relate to.

 

The Company has not recognized any assets for expected recoveries, through insurance or from others, related to litigation and other legal actions, in the periods presented. The Company records such recoveries only in the case that it is virtually certain such recoveries will be realized. In the case that the Company does record expected recoveries, the Company’s policy is to record such amounts as an asset in our consolidated balance sheet, unless a right of offset clearly exists.

 

F-26



 

Note 3.         Change in Accounting Principles

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company modified its accounting estimate for recording exchange derivatives associated with certain liabilities expressed in foreign currency, from hedges of existing items to hedges of expected transactions.  The change seeks to better show the transaction’s economic and financial implications, fully implementing the policy of hedging exchange risk set forth by the company as well as Technical Bulletin No.57 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants as regards hedges over expected transactions. As of December 31, 2005, the application of this policy led to the deferral of income amounting to ThCh$8,661,217.

 

Except as indicated above, there were no changes in accounting principles during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 that would affect the comparison with the prior year financial statements.

 

      As of January 1, 2004, the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, through Circular Letter 1697, has made effective the adoption of Technical Bulletin No. 72 on Business Combinations issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants. These regulations have been applied by the Company and pertain to the nature of permanent investments and financial statement consolidation.

 

      Regarding indemnity for years of service, the Company modified the discount rate from 9.5% in 2003 to 6.5% in 2004 and its workers’ estimated service lives. These changes resulted in the acknowledgment of a larger net charge of ThCh$22,854 to income during the current year.

 

In addition, in the provision for post-retirement benefits, the discount rate was also modified from 9.5% in 2003 to 6.5% in 2004, which resulted in a charge to income of ThCh$3,534,100.

m)          On April 18, 2005, Endesa Chile and its subsidiary Enigesa executed the incorporation deed of a new subsidiary, bearing the corporate name of Endesa Eco S.A. whose purpose is to promote and develop projects associated with renewable energies.  Eco S.A.’s capital amounts to ThCh$580,000 and is divided into 5,800,000 nominative, no par value shares.  Endesa Chile subscribed to 5,799,420 shares, representing 99.99% of the corporate capital and paid in ThCh$179,982, representing 1,799,820 shares while Enigesa subscribed 580 shares, representing 0.01% of the corporate capital and paid in ThCh$18, representing 180 shares.  Each shareholder will pay in its part of the balance of the capital over three years as from the date of incorporation.

 

On August 11, 2005, the Company and its subsidiary Endesa Inversiones Generales S.A. acquired 99.999% and 0.001% of the ownership rights in Inversiones Lo Venecia Ltda., for ThCh$8,360,472 and ThCh$82, respectively.  Inversiones Lo Venecia Ltda. is the indirect owner of 25.001% of the paid-in capital in Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A., and as a result Endesa Chile S.A. has become the owner, directly and indirectly, of 100% of the stock capital in Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A.

The difference determined by the Company between the fair value and the book value of the shareholders’ equity in Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A. at the acquisition date amounted to ThCh$6,645,776 and is due to the greater economic value of the fixed assets relative to their book value.  The amount allocated to fixed assets will be depreciated over 18 years, which is the remaining useful life of such assets.

 

As a result, the assets and liabilities of Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A. stated at book value (for 74.999% of the interest) and at fair values (for 25.001% of the interest) which have been included in the consolidation of the Company at December 31, 2005, are as follows:

The debt refunding plan completed in May 2003, meant to incur in expenditures required to obtain the loans, which are amortized over the same term as the debt.  Disbursements for this item amounted to ThCh$57,503,327 classified in the statements of cash flow under “Disbursements for Financing” within cash flows for financing activities.

 

Continuing with such refunding plan, ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiary Chile prepaid US$2,045 million of the last loan obtained in May 2003.  These payments were made with funds from sale of assets, capital increases, issuance and placements of bonds and obtaining new loans.

 

As a result of these pre-payments, accelerated amortization of deferred expenses for ThCh$40,072,596 were made and charged to financial expenses.

 

This operation will be documented during 2005 and 2006, when the mandatory legal processes defined by both parties before the handing over of the corresponding assets ownership are executed.

 

With this operation, the Group will hand over to Corfivalle the Betania S.A. power sub-station and 3.81% of the ownership interest in the Empresa de Eléctrica de Bogotá S.A. in exchange for the ownership interest Corfivalle has in the Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. (14.3% of the company.)

 

The parties understand that the steps to perfect the above-mentioned Memorandum of Understanding will be gradually executed, and have agreed the economic and political right beneficial interest of the assets that will be exchanged as from January 1, 2004.  According to this, the Empresa Eléctrica de Bogotá S.A. 3.81% ownership interest that is subject to this agreement is included under the Others item.

On May 15, 2003, ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiary Endesa Chile subscribed syndicated loans to refinance bank debts in an amount of US$2,330 million with 32 banks.

 

Due to this refinancing, obligations with original maturities in 2003 and 2004, now come due in 2008, with principal payments starting in 2005.

 

The covenants which regulate these loans do not trigger prepayment of the obligations if the Company or its subsidiary Endesa Chile risk rating falls below investment grade.

 

On July 28, 2003, ENERSIS S.A. prepaid US$582 million of bank debt with resources from the sale of Río Maipo and its own capital increase.

 

On November 24, 2003, ENERSIS S.A. prepaid all the subscribed loan refinancing of May 2003; this prepayment was made mainly with funds from a new loan of US$500 million subscribed with six banks on November 14, 2003 and from the issuance and placement of bonds worth US$350 million on the United States market and a further US$155 million from other cash sources.  This final payment released all the securities pledged to the first thirty two syndicated banks.

 

Similarly, in 2004 Endesa Chile has prepaid US$458 million with resources from the sale of assets and issuance and placement of bonds issued on October 3, 2003, and a new US$250 million credit agreement signed on February 4, 2004.

 

Endesa Chile’s new credit agreement includes a 3.5 year term with repayment when due and a 1.15% libor spread.

 

The operation was carried out without warranties, endorsements, or investment or indebtedness restrictions.

 

On April 15, 2004, ENERSIS S.A. prepaid US$150 million of the syndicated loan obtained in November, 2003, for US$500 million from the banks BSCH, Banco Bilbao Viscaya Argentaria, San Paolo IMI, Bank of Tokio Mitsubishi, Caja Madrid, and Deutsche Bank.

 

The remaining US$350 million balance was refinanced in November, 2004, through revolving overdraft lines whose term is 4 years.  It is possible to prepay and draw down funds throughout the contract period.  The interest (spread) depends on the corporate rating given by S & P.  Currently, at BBB-, the interest spread is 0.375%.  Later on, on March 4, 2005, US$80 million were prepaid.

 

On November 10, 2004, Endesa Chile entered into a new credit for MUS$250 million, with which it prepaid the loan entered into on February 4, 2004.

 

The new Endesa Chile loan matures on November 11, 2010, and has a 0.375% Libor spread.

 

The operation was carried out without warranties, endorsements, or investment or indebtedness restrictions.

(3)              The amount recorded in 2004 corresponds to the result of re-liquidations of balances of power on a firm basis corresponding to 2000 April - 2004 March period.  The amount recorded in 2003 corresponds to interim re-liquidations of Energy and Power for transactions carried out in prior years.

(4)              In 2004, as the result of a change in the tax law in Brazil, the foreign exchange gains or losses generated by certain assets and liabilities were eliminated from the base upon which PIS and COFINS tax were calculated.  Therefore, as the Company had accrued for these taxes in prior years including the foreign exchange gains/losses as part of the base and as, in the opinion of Company management and Company legal counsel it was appropriate to do so, the Company reversed the portion of its tax accrual for PIS and COFINS generated by the foreign exchange gains/losses.

(CIADI Case ARB/03/21)

 

Compensation for losses caused to the Plaintiff’s investment in the Republic of Argentina is requested in connection with the participation of the power distribution concessionaire Edesur S.A. on the grounds of violation of the Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement entered into by the Republics of Chile and Argentina, and the Argentinean Government behavior through the passing of Public Emergency Law 25,561, dated January 6, 2002.  The said behavior has also seriously affected the economic and financial balance of the Concession Contract between Edesur S.A. and the Argentinean National State.  The said Law authorized a re-negotiation process of the Concession Contracts with the purpose of re-composing the economic-financial equation affected by the conversion to pesos, at US$1 = $1, of tariff values calculated in American dollars, and the prohibition to apply biased tariff updating.  In the practice, this process has not been promoted by the Government, and no measures to prevent losses for the Plaintiff have been formalized.  Edesur S.A. has been deprived of receiving the tariffs indicated in the regulations and in the said Concession Contract, therefore being harmful to the investment the Plaintiff companies have made.

 

Process status: On October 18, 2004, a copy of the lack of jurisdiction petition filed by the Republic of Argentina was received.  On December 17, 2004 the said petition was answered and confirmation of the CIADI jurisdiction was requested.

 

On April 6, 2005, the allegations of the parties regarding this jurisdiction issue took place.  The court decided to accept the re-complaint and re-answer of the parties, setting a brief term for them.  On June 17, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered with the Unit for Renegotiation and Analysis of Public Services Contracts (UNIREN) into an Understanding Letter within the framework of the process for renegotiating Edesur S.A.’s Concession Contract, envisaged in Law No.25,561 and supplementary regulation.  The Understanding Letter contains the terms and conditions that, provided the other statutory Argentinean procedures are met, will constitute the basis for the Agreement for the Full Renegotiation of the Concession Contract between the Argentinean State and Edesur S.A. In addition, the Understanding Letter imposes the obligation of initially suspending, and subsequently dropping, all actions filed against the Argentinean State by Edesur S.A. and its shareholders.  Such requirement would cause ENERSIS S.A. to suspend the international arbitration started on April 25, 2003 with the International Center for the Settlement of Disputes regarding Investments between States and Nationals of Other States (CIADI), seeking from the Republic of Argentina the payment of damages caused by the actions taken by the Republic of Argentina starting with the Public Emergency Law and the Reform of the Foreign Exchange Regime and their statutory and regulatory norms, to ENERSIS S.A.’s investment in Edesur S.A..  After publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina of the resolution approving the rates arising from the Full Rates Revision, ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiaries Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., Chilectra Internacional, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Elesur S.A. would drop the abovementioned international arbitration started with the CIADI.

 

On August 29, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered into the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy, which formalizes, in essence, the agreement reached in the Understanding Letter.  This Minutes of Agreement must be approved by the Argentinean Congress and ratified by the Argentinean government.  The suspension of the aforementioned actions is a prerequisite for ratification.  On September 16, 2005 the Republic of Argentina made a filing requesting the suspension of the proceedings.  It was answered on September 22, 2005 by the plaintiffs, who opposed the suspension.  On September 30, 2005 the court rejected the Argentinean request, for lack for consent.  On October 7, 2005, Argentina made a new filing on the same issue, which the court communicated to us on October 11, 2005, and we answered the filing on October 18, 2005.  The Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy is now being studied by the Argentinean Congress.

 

Amount involved: US$574,739,500.

Compensation of losses caused to the Plaintiff’s investment in the Republic of Argentina is requested in connection with the participation in the power distribution concessionaire Edesur S.A. on the grounds of non-fulfillment of the Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement entered into by the Republics of Chile, and Argentina and the Argentinean Government behavior through the passing of Public Emergency Law 25,561, dated January 6, 2002.  The said behavior has also seriously affected the economic and financial balance of the Concession Contract between Edesur S.A. and the Argentinean National State.  The said Law authorized a re-negotiation process of the Concession Contracts with the purpose of re-composing the economic-financial equation affected by the conversion to pesos, at US$1 = $1, of tariff values calculated in American dollars, and the prohibition to apply biased tariff updating.  In the practice, this process has not been promoted by the Government, and no measures to prevent losses for the Plaintiff have been formalized.  Edesur S.A. has been deprived of receiving the tariffs indicated in the regulations and in the said Concession Contract, therefore being harmful to the investment the Plaintiff companies have made.

 

Process status: On October 18, 2004, a copy of the lack of jurisdiction petition filed by the Republic of Argentina was received.  On December 17, 2004 the said petition was answered and confirmation of the CIADI jurisdiction was requested.

 

On April 6, 2005, the allegations of the parties regarding this jurisdiction issue took place.  The court decided to accept the re-complaint and re-answer of the parties, setting a brief term for them.  On June 17, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered with the Unit for Renegotiation and Analysis of Public Services Contracts (UNIREN) into an Understanding Letter within the framework of the process for renegotiating Edesur S.A.’s Concession Contract, envisaged in Law No.25,561 and supplementary regulation.  The Understanding Letter contains the terms and conditions that, provided the other statutory Argentinean procedures are met, will constitute the basis for the Agreement for the Full Renegotiation of the Concession Contract between the Argentinean State and Edesur S.A. In addition, the Understanding Letter imposes the obligation of initially suspending, and subsequently dropping, all actions filed against the Argentinean State by Edesur S.A. and its shareholders.  Such requirement would cause ENERSIS S.A. to suspend the international arbitration started on April 25, 2003 with the International Center for the Settlement of Disputes regarding Investments between States and Nationals of Other States (CIADI), seeking from the Republic of Argentina the payment of damages caused by the actions taken by the Republic of Argentina starting with the Public Emergency Law and the Reform of the Foreign Exchange Regime and their statutory and regulatory norms, to ENERSIS S.A.’s investment in Edesur S.A..  After publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina of the resolution approving the rates arising from the Full Rates Revision, ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiaries Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., Chilectra Internacional, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Elesur S.A. would drop the abovementioned international arbitration started with the CIADI.  On August 29, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered into the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy, which formalizes, in essence, the agreement reached in the Understanding Letter.  This Minutes of Agreement must be approved by the Argentinean Congress and ratified by the Argentinean government.  The suspension of the aforementioned actions is a prerequisite for ratification.  On September 16, 2005 the Republic of Argentina made a filing requesting the suspension of the proceedings.  It was answered on September 22, 2005 by the plaintiffs, who opposed the suspension.  On September 30, 2005 the court rejected the Argentinean request, for lack for consent.  On October 7, 2005, Argentina made a new filing on the same issue, which the court communicated to us on October 11, 2005, and we answered the filing on October 18, 2005.  The Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy is now being studied by the Argentinean Congress.

 

Amount claimed by Chilectra S.A.: US$624,238,650.

Summary of proceedings: Compensation of losses caused to the Plaintiff’s investment in the Republic of Argentina is requested in connection with the participation in the power distribution concessionaire Edesur S.A. on the grounds of non-fulfillment of the Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement entered into by the Republics of Chile and Argentina, and the Argentinean Government behavior through the passing of Public Emergency Law 25,561, dated January 6, 2002.  The said behavior has also seriously affected the economic and financial balance of the Concession Contract between Edesur S.A. and the Argentinean National State.  The said Law authorized a re-negotiation process of the Concession Contracts with the purpose of re-composing the economic-financial equation affected by the conversion to pesos, at US$1 = $1, of tariff values calculated in American dollars, and the prohibition to apply biased tariff updating.  In the practice, this process has not been promoted by the Government, and no measures to prevent losses for the Plaintiff have been formalized.  Edesur S.A. has been deprived of receiving the tariffs indicated in the regulations and in the said Concession Contract, therefore being harmful to the investment the Plaintiff companies have made.

 

Process status: On October 18, 2004, a copy of the lack of jurisdiction petition filed by the Republic of Argentina was received.  On December 17, 2004 the said petition was answered and confirmation of the CIADI jurisdiction was requested.

 

On April 6, 2005, the allegations of the parties regarding this jurisdiction issue took place.  The court decided to accept the re-complaint and re-answer of the parties, setting a brief term for them.  On June 17, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered with the Unit for Renegotiation and Analysis of Public Services Contracts (UNIREN) into an Understanding Letter within the framework of the process for renegotiating Edesur S.A.’s Concession Contract, envisaged in Law No.25,561 and supplementary regulation.  The Understanding Letter contains the terms and conditions that, provided the other statutory Argentinean procedures are met, will constitute the basis for the Agreement for the Full Renegotiation of the Concession Contract between the Argentinean State and Edesur S.A. In addition, the Understanding Letter imposes the obligation of initially suspending, and subsequently dropping, all actions filed against the Argentinean State by Edesur S.A. and its shareholders.  Such requirement would cause ENERSIS S.A. to suspend the international arbitration started on April 25, 2003 with the International Center for the Settlement of Disputes regarding Investments between States and Nationals of Other States (CIADI), seeking from the Republic of Argentina the payment of damages caused by the actions taken by the Republic of Argentina starting with the Public Emergency Law and the Reform of the Foreign Exchange Regime and their statutory and regulatory norms, to ENERSIS S.A.’s investment in Edesur S.A..  After publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina of the resolution approving the rates arising from the Full Rates Revision, ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiaries Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., Chilectra Internacional, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Elesur S.A. would drop the abovementioned international arbitration started with the CIADI.  On August 29, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered into the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy, which formalizes, in essence, the agreement reached in the Understanding Letter.  This Minutes of Agreement must be approved by the Argentinean Congress and ratified by the Argentinean government.  The suspension of the aforementioned actions is a prerequisite for ratification.  On September 16, 2005 the Republic of Argentina made a filing requesting the suspension of the proceedings.  It was answered on September 22, 2005 by the plaintiffs, who opposed the suspension.  On September 30, 2005 the court rejected the Argentinean request, for lack for consent.  On October 7, 2005, Argentina made a new filing on the same issue, which the court communicated to us on October 11, 2005, and we answered the filing on October 18, 2005.  The Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy is now being studied by the Argentinean Congress.

Summary of proceedings: The said institution filed a measure through which it expects ENRE and EDESUR to be ordered to suspend cabling works in Quilmes, Province of Buenos Aires, as well as the company’s “Sobral” sub-station due to the damage the installations may cause to the population health.

 

Process status: A Resolution from La Plata Civil and Commercial Federal Chamber of Appeal instructs that the First Instance Judge must order EDESUR to report on the situation regarding electromagnetic fields in connection with other sub-stations.  Also, the company must report regarding use of PCB, adjust the equipment containing it, as well as the storage locations.  Finally, the company must identify the equipment and containers.  The case file passed to first instance for the above mentioned purposes, but EDESUR has not been notified yet on the said requirement.

 

The court decided to summon the Secretary of Energy, the Ministry of Health and the Environment, and the Provincial Agency for Environmental Control and Urban Sanitation of the Environmental Policy Secretary of the Province of Buenos Aires, so that they may take part in the proceedings.

Summary of proceedings: Edesur promoted an action to declare settlements in public property free-of-charge, taking into consideration that the company Transportes Metropolitanos General Roca S.A. (T.M.R.) intends to charge an annual rent for every crossing or power line wiring along the rails (existing or future) over land designated as railroad service property.

 

Process status: Edesur obtained from the corresponding Court a precautionary measure through which the company is not obliged to pay rent while the procedure is pending resolution.  Taking into consideration that the company Transportes Metropolitanos General Roca S.A. attended in caution and, since this is a procedure related to property, the proceedings were brought to the Commercial Court, where the process still continues.  It is worth pointing out that, after the term for submitting evidence had expired, the company made its allegation, and recently the Receiver has been notified that the trial is in the status in which the judge must issue a sentence.

Summary of proceedings: The provision through which the Buenos Aires City Government tries to charge an annual rent for each underground transformation center installed by Edesur in public roads is contested.  At the same time, the provision tries to force Edesur to cover the costs resulting from the removal of the said centers whenever removal is necessary.  The contested provision violates the Concession Contract.

 

Process status: First instance favorable ruling was appealed against by the GCBA.  Parallel to the main procedure, Edesur filed an extraordinary appeal to the Supreme Court sustaining the lack of competence of the Buenos Aires City Courts and the competence of federal courts.  The Supreme Court of Justice ruled in favor and determined that the Federal Administrative Court is competent to continue with the lawsuit.  Therefore, the proceedings are being transferred procedure to the latter Court.

Summary of proceedings: In accordance with a provision in Power Law 24065, the power sector concessionaire companies must pay a significant rate to the Power Regulating National Agency with the purpose of financing its controlling and regulating activities (the rate is paid by EDESUR, among other concessionaires.) These expenses must not exceed annually the amount of the rate paid, thus giving rise to a financial surplus which, instead of being allocated to the Argentinean government, must be refunded to the companies.  In this regard, the action was filed to nullify a resolution of the General Agency for Management of the Economy Ministry, which allocates to the Argentinean Treasury these financial surpluses.  Obviously, this resolution is confiscatory in nature, because the rate must always be a payment for a service provided, and no portion of it must become income for the government.

Summary of Proceedings: Towards the end of 2002, there was a tax destined to finance the public lighting of towns and cities, referred to as the “Lighting Network Maintenance Tax” (TMRI).  Ampla had made agreements with towns within its concession area to collect said tax by including it in its invoices.  The constitutionality of this tax has been contested by some parties; therefore Ampla, a mere collector of the tax, has been involved in the suit.  Ampla has maintained in its defence that it should not be included in the suit, and ABRACON strives to force Ampla to stop collecting the tax and to notify the consumers of the elimination of the tax.

 

Process status: On November 18, 2005, this trial was annexed to Trial No.2000.020.012627-9, Public Civil Action.

Summary of Proceedings: Request for concession of power in advance to require that Ampla issue invoices, within a period of 60 days, for electrical energy with two different bar codes, one for actual consumption of electrical energy and the other for the tax to finance public lighting by all customers.  Confirmation of power in advance.  Input was required from Attorney General’s Office and the losing party was ordered to pay court costs.

 

Process status: Power in advance was required to force Ampla, within 60 days beginning June 8, 2005, to include two bar codes in invoices for electrical energy issued to all its customers (one only for the CIP and the other for consumption).  Ampla issued a plea for relief from its difficulties, to the 3rd Civil Chamber of the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, under trial No.2005.002.15305, which granted its request for suspension of the order.  Taking into account the existence of another identical action proposed by the Idecon before the 5th Business chamber of the County of Rio de Janeiro, the judge of the 4th Civil Chamber of Petrópolis ordered that the two trials be combined into one trial before the 5th Business chamber.  The proceedings were sent to the Attorney General’s Office for its comments about whether or not the 5th Business chamber had jurisdiction over the case.  The Attorney General’s Office responded by demanding that the proceedings be examined again in conjunction with the other ongoing Public Civil Action handled by the Attorney General’s Office since September 28, 2005.

Summary of Proceedings: Ampla seeks to obtain the declaration that the tax-legal relationship (tax immunity) does not exist as regards the payment of the tax called FINSOCIAL on its gross monthly revenue.  It also seeks to have the Union forced to refund the total amount collected in the last five years, starting from October 1996 and, as a side effect of the foregoing, that the Union be made to refund the difference between the amount paid in accordance with Laws 7.787/89 , 7:784/89 and 8.147/90, and that due in accordance with Decree Law No.1.940/82, in the same period referred to above..

Summary of Proceedings: The Federal Union launched a rescission action against Ampla before the TRF 2nd region in order to get the decision (Security Mandate No.92.0113589-4) recognising tax immunity related to the withholding of COFINS tax rescinded.  The rescission action is based on very restricted causes that we estimate are not really well grounded.  The first court ruling on the rescission action was favourable to Ampla.  In the case where Federal Union’s rescission action is accepted by the court, Ampla will have to collect for public coffers all the COFINS which it did no collect following the decision in Security Mandate No.92.0113589-4, which recognised Ampla’s immunity from the tax in question.

Summary of Proceedings: A demand for tax credit relating to the PIS contribution, with the objective of preventing the prescription of amounts entered judicially plus interest due on arrears.

 

Process status: On June 7, 1999, Ampla presented its opposition to the Infraction Proceeding, which was accepted by the Federal “Receita” court.  As a result of this, Ampla tabled a voluntary action, which was partially recognised by the 3rd Chamber of the 2nd Council of taxpayers of the Ministry of Finance, at least to exclude the interest charged on arrears by the Federal “Receita” (IRS) Court.  Currently the proceedings are in the Federal “Receita” court of Niteról.

Summary of Proceedings: The objective of the current collective civil action is to force the company to issue billing documents with two bar codes, one for the amount of the electricity supply service and the other for the tax public lighting.  We oppose the suits that object to this tax, not only because they include us as Defendants but also because the city government uses the tax money to finance the lighting and electricity consumed by everybody.

 

Process status: Due to the Petrópolis trial having declared itself incompetent, this trial has been linked to Collective Civil Action No.2005.001.069542-2 (see below).  This trial is suspended for judgement of the pleas filed by Ampla and by Light.

Summary of Proceedings: The IRS sued Ampla for having proceeded to compensate itself for the totality of tax damages in order to adjust the taxable income for the purpose of the IRPJ, as would appear warranted judging by the decisions handed down in trials numbers 98.02.07129-3 and 98.02.02033-89 (items 45, 46 cited above).  The lawsuit was launched by plaintiff to avoid decadence (Ampla’s right to claim tax credits even if the court decision is unfavourable to Ampla).

 

Process status: Once it learned of the Infraction Proceeding, Ampla presented the opposing argument on September 14, 2005, with the aim of securing the reduction of the Infraction Proceeding by the portion related to the profit from the Worker - PAT feeding program, which currently is pending judgement.

Summary of Proceedings  : Infraction proceeding prepared by the IRS on July 1, 2005 despite the supposed lack of withholding and collection by IR payable on the remittance of moneys abroad.

 

The SRF put together the above Proceeding because it understood that the contracts signed by Ampla and Cerj Overseas constitute a simulation of what in fact is to be a payment (amortisation) of the Fixed Rate Notes - FRNs.  With this understanding, the SRF concluded that the average time period required by the law of 96 months for the application of the Income Tax quota - IR 0, was not fulfilled, and Ampla is thus obliged to withhold and collect the Income Tax payable on the remittances of employees abroad as an amortisation of FRNs.

 

Process status:     Infraction Proceeding prepared July 1, 2005.  We are awaiting judgement of the opposing arguments presented by Ampla .

Summary of proceedings: The Circo Victoria transmission line I and II was built by Empresa Eléctrica de Bogotá in 1962, when the site in which the towers holding it are located, was not populated.  However, when Codensa was born as a legal entity, on October 23, 1997, one of those towers (No.731) was surrounded by buildings put up after 1983 but prior to 1996.  The plaintiff demands protection for the following collective rights: a healthy environment; sanitization, security and prevention of technically foreseeable disasters; that buildings abide by statutory regulations.

 

Process status: A lower court sentence was issued on November 11, 2005.  The lower court did not find any violation, either by Codensa or by Alcaldía Local de San Cristóbal, of the collective rights called to bear by the plaintiff.  However, to prevent possible hazards to the security of the people living in the vicinity of the tower, the court ordered Codensa to take all necessary steps to avoid hazards for the community resulting from the transmission of energy, steps such as implementing minimum statutory intervals, acquire or rent the land surrounding the tower, isolating the tower, and any other measure that Codensa might deem necessary.  Both the plaintiff and Codensa filed appeals, which were granted.  The folder was sent to the State Council.

Summary of proceedings: Codensa S.A. ESP was providing the service of public lighting to the Soacha district since the inception of the company (on October 23, 1997).  The public lighting infrastructure in the Soacha district is mostly owned by Codensa, through a contribution from Empresa Eléctrica de Bogotá (together with other assets).

 

F-101



 

Soacha district called on bidders for the service of public lighting, the winner being “Soacha Ciudad Luz”, a temporary entity with which district representatives entered into concession contract No.004 on January 19, 1999. Codensa did not take part in the concession contract. However, after that contract had been executed, Sociluz hired Codensa to supply electricity, and rented the Codensa infrastructure, billing and collection systems. These are the conditions under which Codensa is related to the rendering of public lighting services in Soacha.

 

Process status: A lower court sentence was issued on September 26, 2005. The court decided to protect the collective rights to administrative morality, the public wealth, the access to public services and the fact that they be provided timely and efficiently. As a result, the court ordered: (a) the termination of the concession contract and its liquidation; (b) Socieluz to refund to the city government the amounts received in exchange for the concession contract since February 11, 2005, after deducting the services actually rendered which must be properly substantiated at the time of the liquidation; c) that after the costs incurred in rendering the service have been deducted, which must be duly substantiated, the resulting amount be offset by Codensa to users on the bills; and (d) that the defendants pay the plaintiff an incentive consisting in 30 statutory minimum salaries distributed pro rata among the city government, Sociluz and Codensa. Appeals were filed by all defendants, which were granted. The folder was sent to the State Council.

Summary of proceedings: Codensa provides public lighting service to La Calera Municipality and another 90 municipalities in the Cundinamarca Province. With some of them, there is no written contract or authorization from the corresponding agency (Municipal Council and Mayor). The plaintiffs argue that there is no written contract for the service provision and, therefore, they demand reimbursement of the amounts collected. They also argue that the service to rural areas is invoiced although these areas have no public lighting.

 

Process status: Lower court issued sentence, which was not appealed against and became final. Sentence was favorable in that it released Codensa and condemned the city government, although it ordered stopping the collection of the public lighting service from users, there being no contract between the city government and Codensa.

Endesa Costanera S.A.

 

On July 25, 1990 the Italian Government authorized Banco Medio Crédito Centrale to grant the Argentinean Government a loan up to US$93,995,562 intended for financing the acquisition of assets and the rendering of Italian source services, used in the reconditioning of four groups of the steam-electric powerplant owned by Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires (“SEGBA”). Such loan financed the acquisition of assets and services indicated in the Work Order No.4322 (the Order) issued by SEGBA on behalf of a trust leaded by Ansaldo S.p.A., an Italian company. In virtue of the terms in the “Agreement regarding the Work Order No.4322”: i) SEGBA granted Endesa Costanera S.A. a mandate through which administered the rendering of then services included in the Order and performed the work and services that corresponded to SEGBA, in conformity with the Order; and ii) Endesa Costanera S.A. was obliged to pay the Energy Department the capital installments and interest related to the loan granted by Medio Crédito Centrale, at a 1.75% annual rate (the Agreement). To guarantee the compliance with the financial obligations assumed by Costanera S.A., the buyers (holders of class “A” shares of Endesa Costanera S.A.) pledged all their own class “A” shares. In the event of non-compliance resulting in executing the guarantee, the Energy Department could immediately sell the pledged shares through public bidding and could exercise the political rights applicable to pledged shares. In accordance with Law No.25,561, decreee No.214/02 and regulatory provisions, the payment obligation of Endesa Costanera S.A. as a result of the Agreement has become “pesified” to the peso exchange rate equivalent to one US dollar, plus the application of the reference stabilization coefficient and maintaining the original interest rate of the obligation. On January 10, 2003 the National Executive issued decree No.53/03, which modified decree 410/02 and added subsection j) in Article 1. In conformity with this regulation, the “pesification” is not applied to the obligation of the provincial states, city halls, private and public companies of giving sums of foreign money to the National Government as a result of subsidiary or other loans and guarantees, originally financed by multilateral credit entities, or as a result of liabilities assumed by the National Treasury and refinanced by other external creditors. Endesa Costanera S.A. considers that the loan resulting from the Agreement does not agree with any of the assumptions include in Decree No.53/03 and even though in the assumption that it agrees, there are strong arguments that determine the unconstitutionality of Decree No.53/03. It also violates the principle of equality and the right of property established by the National Constitution. The most significant contingency that could result, if the aforementioned assumption becomes real at December 31, 2004, would be a shareholders’ equity decrease, net of tax effects, of approximately US$22 million. To date the Energy Department has not filed a claim for the “pesified” payments made by Endesa Costanera S.A. In virtue of the above, the Company’s Management believes that the aforementioned situation will not result in a significant adverse impact on the Company’s equity position and results. At September 30, 2005, Costanera S.A.’s debt in regard to the Agreement on account of the principal and interest is US$21,252,410.

                      The ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for four consolidated quarters, not exceeding 6.40x in 2005, which evolves up to 4.2X in 2010;

                      The ratio of Endesa Chile and its Chilean subsidiaries cash flow to financial expenses for four quarters, not less than 1.5x in 2005, which evolves up to 2.00X in 2010;

                      The ratio of consolidated debt to shareholders’ equity plus minority interest not exceeding 112.50% in 2005, which evolves up to 100% in 2010;

                      Assets corresponding to companies whose business is regulated, is not to be less than 50% of the total consolidated assets;

                      Minimum shareholders’ equity at least equal to U.F.45 million.

 

As of December 31, 2005 all these obligations have been met.

 

Pehuenche S.A.

 

The Chase Manhattan Bank N.A., in relation to loans granted to the Company, place obligations and restrictions on Pehuenche S.A., some of which are of a financial nature, such as: long-term financial liabilities not exceeding 1.5 times the shareholders’ equity, and a minimum company equity of UF9,500,000.

 

As of December 31, 2005 all these obligations have been met.

 

Endesa Costanera S.A.

 

In virtue of the arrangement in Annex VI-A of the “Concurso Público Internacional para la Venta de las Acciones de Central Costanera Sociedad Anónima” (International Public Tender for the Sale of shares of Central Costanera Sociedad Anonima), the domain of Central Costanera S.A.’s land was transferred subject to the condition that it used as the location for an electric power plant for a term of twenty five years as of the date of possession.

 

If under any circumstance whatsoever the land ceases to be used for that purpose during the indicated year, its domain shall be considered revoked due to this cause, and return of such title will be effective immediately, and as a matter of law, to SEGBA S.A. or, as applicable, to the National State.

 

The most demanding requirements in respect to financial coefficients are those contained in the Syndicated loan, as amended at September 30, the Agent of which is BBVA Banco Francés, and in the bilateral with JP Morgan, which are the following: The long-term debt with third parties may not exceed US$215 million (excluding short-term debt, commercial debt, inter-company loans and balance of debt with MedioCrédito Italiano); the debt for less than 180 days may not exceed US$10 million. There are, also, clauses restricting the change of control of the company and clauses that restrict payments to shareholders, including subjecting the related debt to meeting certain financial indicators.

 

As of December 31, 2005 these obligations have been met.

 

F-113



 

Edegel S.A.

 

Financial indicators originated by credit contracts, Bonds Program and Short-term instruments:

 

                      Debt ratio no greater than 0.75

 

As of December 31, 2005 these obligations have been met.

 

Hidroeléctrica Betania S.A.

 

Covenants include limitations on the payment of related debt and limitations on change in control and the following financial ratios:

 

                      EBITDA/Senior Financial Debt no less than 1.3

                      Cash Flows plus Dividend Payments/Senior Financial Debt no less than 1.4

                      Shareholders’ Equity/Senior Debt no less than 2.5.

 

At December 31, 2005 these covenants have been fully met.

 

Other restrictions

 

As a common practice for bank loans and also in capital markets, a substantial portion of ENERSIS S.A.’s financial indebtedness is subject to cross-default provisions. Some defaults of relevant subsidiaries, if not corrected in time (as to those specific provisions allowing a year of time to correct the problem), might result in the cross-defaults at the Endesa Chile and ENERSIS S.A. level., and, in this case, a significant percent of ENERSIS S.A.’s consolidated liabilities might eventually become due on demand.

 

Non-payment default, after any applicable grace period, of these companies’ debts or of those corresponding to some of their most relevant subsidiaries for an individual amount exceeding the equivalent of 30 million dollars, would cause accelerated payment of syndicated credits contracted in 2004. Also, non-payment, after any applicable grace period, of these companies’ debts or of those corresponding to any of their subsidiaries for individual amounts exceeding the equivalent of 30 million dollars, would cause advanced payment of Yankee bonds. In addition, some credit agreements contain provisions according to which certain events different from non-payment in these companies or in any of their most relevant subsidiaries, such as bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse executed legal sentences for amounts larger than US$ 50 million, and expropriation of assets, may cause those credit acceleration clauses to be in effect.

 

There are no clauses in the credit agreements through which changes in these companies corporate or debt classification by risk classification agencies may cause an obligation to make debt prepayments. However, according to the Standard & Poor (S&P) risk classification agency, a variation in the foreign currency debt risk classification produces a change in the applicable margin of syndicated credits contracted in 2004.

 

As of December 31, 2005, these obligations and restrictions have been fully met.

Note 33.   Sanctions

 

Chilectra S.A.

 

On April 27, 2004, through Exempt resolution 814, the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuel (S.E.C.) penalized the Company for a total amount of 1,830 UTA (ThCh$665,564), as a result of the blackout which occurred on January 13, 2003, that affected the area between Tal Tal and Santiago. On May 7, 2004, the Company filed an appeal whose jurisdiction and solution belongs to the Superintendency of Electricity and Fuel (S.E.C.). The S.E.C. rejected the appeal and a claim petition was filed with the Santiago Court of Appeals.

 

The resolution issued by the Santiago Court of Appeal can be appealed against in the Supreme Court.

 

To this date, the Company cannot exactly forecast the effects the final resolution will have on its financial statements.

Elesur S.A.

 

1.               Fine levied by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS)

 

Through exempt resolution No 337, of October 31, 1997, the SVS fined Elesur S.A. a total of UF 100,000 for supposedly using insider information contained in the sixth clause of the Strategic Alliance Agreement reached on August 2, 1997. This information was not disclosed to the market and supposedly was capable of influencing the price of the stock quote of Series A shares of the Chispas companies, which were the object of a public offer to acquire shares formulated by Elesur S.A. in the month of August 1997.

 

In accordance with the terms of Decree Law 3538 (Internal Rules of the SVS), Elesur S.A. launched a suit against the SVS with the aim of overturning the fine levied by the SVS. By sentence of November 17, 2000, the lower court accepted Elesur’s claim and annulled the fine. The judgement basically holds that the information was not insider (“privileged”) because it was known by the parties to the contract. The SVS appealed against the form and content of this judgement and now the case is in the hands of the Santiago Court of Appeal (number 82-2001). Company management considers that it is likely that this court’s judgement will also favour the Company.

 

2.               Fines levied by Chilean Tax Authority (SII)

 

The fines levied by the SII arise from sanctions prescribed in Articles 53 and 97 of the Tax Code for late payment of taxes. As of December 2005, sanctions of ThCh$ 475,595 were paid, due to a tax assessment rendered by the SII on differences in paid taxes on share sales carried out in 2002. As of December 2004, sanctions of ThCh$ 88,404 were paid, due to tax differences applied by the SII to stock sale operations carried out in 1997.

 

The Company and the Board of Directors have not been the target of any other sanctions by the SVS or by any other administrative authorities.

Note 35.                     Subsequent Events

 

Endesa S.A.

 

On January 17, 2006, the General Shareholders’ Meeting of Edegel agreed to approve the merger of Edegel S.A.A. with the energy company Termoléctrica Ventanilla S.A., Etevensa (a related company), in which Edegel effectively will take over Etevensa.

 

The share swap agreement under the merger has been determined by the Board of Directors and the management of Edegel and Etevensa, based on valuations performed by investment banks; it has been established that the shareholders of Edegel and Etevensa will hold approximately 87.1% and 12.9% of the capital of the new company, respectively.

 

The merger is subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions:

 

                      That no more than 4% of the shareholders of Etevensa and no more than 2.2% of the shareholders of Edegel shall exercise the right of separation. However, if circumstances warrant, the Boards of Directors of Edegel and Etevensa may agree to carry out the merger even if the dissident shareholders exceed the above percentages.

 

                      Within five months of the project being approved by the general meeting of shareholders of Edegel and Etevensa, the National Institution for the Defense of Competition and Intellectual Property, and any other relevant entity, states in writing that the merger is not subject to government authorisation or, in the event that it is subject to such authorisation, grants the appropriate permission.

 

                      That the companies or entities that, in accordance with obligations assumed by Edegel or Etevensa, must give their consent for the purposes of carrying out the merger, consent to the merger or do not object to it.

 

In the period between January 1, 2006, and to the date of issue of these financial statements, no other significant facts have occurred that may affect their submission.

Note 36.                     Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 

Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown in the financial statements.

 

I.                     Differences in Measurement Methods

 

The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP are described below together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in the determination of the adjustments that affect net income and total shareholders’ equity. References below to “SFAS” are to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States.

 

(a)                      Inflation accounting

 

The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Consumer Price Index for the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 was approximately 7.1%. Pursuant to Chilean GAAP, the Company’s financial statements recognize certain effects of inflation. As allowed pursuant to Item 17 c (iv) of Form 20-F the reconciliation included herein of consolidated net income, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excludes adjustments attributable to the effect of differences between the accounting for inflation under Chilean GAAP versus U.S. GAAP.

 

(b)                      Reversal of revaluation of property, plant and equipment

 

In accordance with standards issued by the SVS, certain property, plant and equipment are recorded in the financial statements at amounts determined in accordance with a technical appraisal. The difference between the carrying value and the revalued amount is included in shareholders’ equity, beginning in 1989, in “Other reserves”, and is subject to adjustments for price-level restatement and depreciation. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. The effects of the reversal of this revaluation, as well as of the related accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(c)                      Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

 

Under Chilean GAAP, certain costs related to the acquisition of Edesur S.A., at the time of the acquisitions in 1992 and 1994 by Distrilec Inversora S.A., were charged to earnings as incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, these costs have been included in the purchase price and allocated to the net assets acquired based upon fair values. For purposes of the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, these costs were considered to be of part of property, plant, and equipment, the primary assets of Edesur S.A.

 

As discussed in paragraph (i), under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value is recorded as goodwill. Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. As part of the purchase of the majority ownership interest in Endesa-Chile, under U.S. GAAP, the cost of the purchase price would have been allocated to the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

 

The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

The company has considered the factors which could be considered changes in circumstances which would trigger an impairment review and, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposa1 of Long-Lived Assets” beginning in 2002, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets, in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. These standards require that an impairment loss be recognized in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is recorded based on the excess carrying amounts of long-live assets (or asset group) over fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded under Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

 

F-126



 

(d)                      Intangibles

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the intangible assets correspond mainly to rights of way. Additionally the Company has recorded  an intangible asset relating to the transfer of revalued assets which originate in the predecessor company, “Compañía Chilena de Distribución Eléctrica S.A.” at the time of the Company’s formation. Under U.S. GAAP, the balance of this intangible asset would have been recorded at the Predecessor Company’s carrying value which was zero. In 2004, this intangible asset was charged to income under Chile GAAP thereby zeroing out the GAAP difference for this item.

 

The estimated amortization expense for the intangible assets which, mainly consist of rights of way, for US GAAP purposes (which is equivalent under Chile GAAP) for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

 

Year

 

Amortization

 

 

 

ThCh$

 

 

 

 

 

2006

 

4,689,244

 

2007

 

4,339,313

 

2008

 

2,737,110

 

2009

 

1,417,583

 

2010

 

1,999,679

 

 

The effects of adjusting shareholders’ equity for this intangible asset net of accumulated amortization, inclusive of accumulated price-level restatement, and net income for the annual amortization expense and the write-off of the intangible asset in 2004 are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(e)                      Deferred income taxes

 

Under Chilean GAAP, until December 31, 1999, deferred income taxes were recorded based on non-recurring timing differences between the recognition of income and expense items for financial statement and tax purposes. Accordingly, there was an orientation toward the income statement focusing on differences in the timing of recognition of revenues and expenses in pre-tax accounting income and taxable income. Chilean GAAP also permitted not providing for deferred income taxes where a deferred tax asset or liability was either offsetting or not expected to be realized. Starting January 1, 2000, the Company recorded income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities. As a transitional provision, a contra (referred to as “complementary”) asset or liability has been recorded against the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized as of  January 1, 2000. Such complementary assets liabilities are being amortized to income over the estimated average reversal periods of the underlying temporary differences to which the corresponding deferred tax asset or liability relates.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, companies must account for deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, using the following basic principles:

 

i.                  A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards.

 

ii.               The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on the provisions of the enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not recognized prior to the period in which such changes are enacted into law.

 

iii.            Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, to the extent that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is deemed more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

F-127



 

Temporary differences are defined as any difference between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of an asset and liability that at some future date will reverse, thereby resulting in taxable income or expense. Temporary differences ordinarily become taxable or deductible when the related asset is recovered or the related liability is settled. A deferred tax liability or asset represents the amount of taxes payable or refundable in future years as a result of temporary differences at the end of the current year.

 

The principal difference between U.S. GAAP and Chile GAAP relates to the reversal of the complementary assets and liabilities recorded as a transitional provisión for unrecorded deferred tapes as of January 1, 2000 and their corresponding amortization into income. Additionally, under U.S. GAAP, temporary differences arising in connection with fair value adjustments on business combinations result in deferred taxes and a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. An adjustment is required in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP to record goodwill arising from deferred tax liabilities related to past business combinations. When required, the income tax effects of U.S. GAAP adjustments are recorded in our reconciliations to U.S. GAAP. The effect of these differences on the net income and shareholders’ equity of the Company is included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(f)                        Severance indemnity

 

As described in Note 2 n, under the Company’s employment contracts, it has committed to provide a lump sum payment to each employee in its Chilean entities at the end of their employment, whether due to death, termination, resignation or retirement. Until December 31, 2003, those obligations are calculated based on the present value of the liability determined at each year-end based on the current salary and average service life of each employee. The Company and its Chilean subsidiaries used a discount rate of 9.5% until December 31, 2003. As described in Note 3, starting January 1, 2004 the Company changed certain of its underlying assumptions related to its severance indemnities changing the discount rate of 6.5% and modifying the turnover rate.

 

Under US GAAP, this arrangement is considered to be a termination indemnity plan and should therefore be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”. The liability would be measured at the actuarial present value of all benefits attributed by the severance indemnity benefit formula to employee service rendered through the balance sheet date. The vested benefit obligation is measured using assumptions as to future compensation levels. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the discount rate has to be reassessed every year, to the relevant discount rate for the period between the date and the expected date of payment. In 2003, the Company, for US GAAP purposes, used a 6.5% discount rate in accordance with the above guidance. The impact of using the appropriate discount rates under US GAAP for 2003 would not have resulted in a material difference from the obligation recorded at the rate in use in accordance with Chilean GAAP.

 

Therefore, in 2004 and 2005, the accounting assumptions underlying the calculation of the obligation for staff severance indemnities were the same under Chile GAAP and US GAAP.

 

The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately for severance indemnity plans for both Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

 

The effects of accounting for severance indemnity benefits under US GAAP have been presented in paragraph (gg).

 

F-128



 

(g)                     Pension and post-retirement benefits accounting

 

The Company has obligations related to post-retirement benefits as stipulated in collective bargaining agreements and pension obligations as stipulated by contract for its subsidiaries in Brazil, Colombia and Chile under U.S. GAAP, post-retirement benefits are accounted for under SFAS 106 and pension obligations are accounted for under SFAS 87 which results in the following differences:

 

                                In 2000, the Company recorded its obligation for post-retirement benefits at our consolidated subsidiaries, Ampla (formerly Cerj) and Coelce under Chilean GAAP. Technical Bulletin 8 allows the Company to record a transition asset for post-retirement benefits and pension obligations, as calculated under Chilean GAAP, and to amortize the amount, on a straight-line basis, for up to five years. The Company is amortizing this amount over a period of three years. Ampla and Coelce had adopted U.S. GAAP for external reporting purposes prior to 2000 and there was no remaining unamortized transition obligation. Therefore, the amortization that is appropriately being recorded under Chilean GAAP for the transition asset related to post-retirement benefits and pensions is reversed in our reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

 

                                Under both Chilean GAAP and US GAAP, actuarial gains/losses are deferred over the average remaining service period when the cumulative amount of deferred actuarial gains and losses are less than 10% of the higher of the projected benefit obligation or fair value of plan assets.

 

Chilean GAAP recognizes an additional minimum liability, similar to that defined under SFAS 87, through the income statement. Under US GAAP, if the amount of the additional minimum liability required to be recognized exceeds the unrecognized prior service costs, the excess shall be reported as a separate component within other comprehensive income net of any tax benefits; if no excess exists, the additional minimum liability is recorded against an offsetting intangible asset.

 

                                The changes effected for the discount rate in Chile GAAP and US GAAP and their timing as described in (f) were also instituted for post-retirement benefits.

 

The effects of accounting for post-retirement benefits under US GAAP have been presented in paragraph (gg).

 

(h)                     Investments in related companies

 

Under Chilean GAAP, until December 31, 2003 for all investments accounted for by the equity method, the proportionate net book value of the investee company was recorded as an investment and the difference between the cost of investment and the proportionate net book value of the investee was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is to be amortized to income over a maximum period of twenty years. The investment account is adjusted to recognize the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee determined under Chilean GAAP subsequent to the date of the purchase. Technical Bulletin No. 72 issued by Chilean Association of Accountants requires using fair value of acquired assets and liabilities for the accounting for all acquisitions after January 1, 2004 and recording the differential between the cost and the fair value as goodwill/negative goodwill as well as prospectively designating all investments of 20% to 50% as having significant influence rather than the 10% to 50% level previously defined as having significant influence in Chilean GAAP. No retroactive changes or cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles were required under Technical Bulletin No. 72.

 

Under US GAAP, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “the Equity Method for Accounting for Investment in Common Stock” (“APB No. 18”), the carrying amount of an investment accounted for under the equity method is initially recorded at cost and shown as a single amount in the balance sheet of the investor. It is adjusted to recognize the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee determined under US GAAP subsequent to the date of investment. The investment reflects adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated financial statements, including adjustments to eliminate inter-company gains and losses and to account for the differences, if any, between the investor’s cost and the underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. The investment is also adjusted to reflect the investor’s share of change in the investee capital accounts.

 

F-129



 

The Company’s equity share of the effect of the adjustments from Chilean GAAP to U.S. GAAP for equity method investees is included in paragraph (gg) below. The principal U.S. GAAP adjustments affecting the Company’s equity investees are as follows:

 

(i)                  Reversal of capitalized foreign currency exchange differences related to capitalized interest.

(ii)               Reversal of complementary accounts (asset or liability) recorded as a transitional provision in connection with the adoption of Technical Bulletin N°60 as of January 1, 2000.

(iii)            Organizational costs deferred under Chilean GAAP that, under U.S. GAAP, should have been included in income.

(iv)           The recording of derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

(v)              The deferred income tax effects of adjustments (i), (iii) and (iv).

 

(i)                        Goodwill

 

(i)                 Under Chilean GAAP, for acquisitions completed through December 31, 2003 assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value are recorded as goodwill. Circular No. 1358, dated December 3, 1997 issued by the SVS, extended the maximum amortization period of goodwill to 20 years from the previous 10 years.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recorded as goodwill. Up until December 31, 2001, the Company amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 20 to 40 years. Goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 is not amortized. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued amortizing goodwill on January 1, 2002. The effects of recording the different amortization periods and reversing the amortization of goodwill are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

Technical Bulletin No. 72 issued by Chilean Association of Accountants requires using fair value of acquired assets and liabilities for the accounting for all acquisitions after January 1, 2004, and consequently after that date difference in accounting treatment related to the allocation of purchase consideration over assets acquired and liabilities assumed between Chilean GAAP and US GAAP no longer exists.

 

(ii)              Under Chilean GAAP, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment. The Company determines the impairment losses using a discounted cash flow approach and recent comparable transactions in the market. In order to estimate recoverable value, the Company makes assumptions about future events that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. The results of this analysis showed no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.

 

The following effects are included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (gg) below:

 

(i)                 differences in the amount of the impairment under US GAAP related to basis differences in the original determination and subsequent amortization methodology between Chilean GAAP and US GAAP;

(ii)              the reversal of negative goodwill impairment under Chilean GAAP, as under US GAAP negative goodwill is treated as an adjustment to the net book value of the related fixed assets to their fair value;

(iii)           the reversal of goodwill amortization recorded under Chilean GAAP.

 

(j)                                    Negative Goodwill

 

Under Chilean GAAP, until December 31, 2004, the excess of the carrying value of the assets assumed in a business combination over the purchase price is recorded as negative goodwill. Circular No. 1358, dated December 3, 1997 issued by the SVS, extended the maximum amortization period of negative goodwill to 20 years from the previous 5

 

F-130



 

years. Technical Bulletin No. 72 issued by Chilean Association of Accountants requires using fair value accounting for all acquired assets and liabilities for all acquisitions after January 1, 2004.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the net assets acquired in excess of the purchase price is allocated proportionately to reduce the values assigned to long-lived assets. If the allocation reduces the long-lived assets to zero, the remainder of the excess is recorded as an extraordinary gain to income.

 

The effect of reduced depreciation expense on the long-lived assets assets  (for which no circumstances changed requiring an impairment test under SFAS N°144)  to which negative goodwill had been allocated under U.S. GAAP net of reversals of both amortization and write-offs of negative goodwill recorded in Chilean GAAP (over the appropriate useful lives as defined in the first paragraph) are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(k)                    Capitalized interest and exchange differences

 

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has capitalized both interest on debt directly related to property, plant and equipment under construction and finance costs corresponding to exchange differences generated by the loans associated with such assets. The capitalization of interest costs associated with projects under construction is optional when incurred on debt that is not directly related to such projects. The Company has optioned for not capitalizing indirect interest cost under Chilean GAAP.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under construction is required, regardless of whether interest is associated with debt directly related to a project to the extent that interest cost would have been avoided if the project had not been done. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, foreign translation exchange differences may not be capitalized. The accounting differences between Chilean and U.S. GAAP for financing costs and the related depreciation expense are included in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

(l)                        Accumulated deficit during the development stage

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the losses incurred during the development stage of subsidiary companies are recorded directly in the parent company’s equity. Under U.S. GAAP, such costs must be charged to income as incurred. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, no company was classified as development stage company. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the effect of the adjustment is included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(m)                  Minimum dividend

 

As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by the unanimous vote of the holders of issued and subscribed shares, the Company must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of its net income for each year as determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP, unless and except to the extent the Company has unabsorbed prior year losses. Net income related to the amortization of negative goodwill can only be distributed as an additional dividend by the approval of the shareholders, and accordingly, is not included in the calculation of the minimum dividend to be distributed. Since the payment of the 30% dividend out of each year’s income is required by Chilean law, an accrual was made in the reconciliation in paragraph (gg) below to reflect the unrecorded dividend liability for 2004 and 2005.

 

(n)                                 Capitalized general and administrative expenses

 

Until 1993, under Chilean GAAP, Endesa-Chile capitalized a portion of its administrative and selling expenses as part of the cost of construction in progress because a substantial portion of the efforts of management were involved in the administration of major projects. Under U.S. GAAP, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense unless they can be directly identified with the supervision of the construction of specific projects. Under Chilean GAAP the Company has also capitalized other administrative expenses into other long-term assets, which is prohibited under US GAAP. The effects of eliminating capitalized general and administrative expenses and the related depreciation and amortization for U.S. GAAP purposes are shown below under paragraph (gg).

 

 

F-131



 

(o)                                  Involuntary employee termination benefits

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the Argentine subsidiaries, Central Costanera and Hidroelectricidad, recorded an accrual of certain involuntary employee termination benefits related to the restructuring plan announced in 1997. Since that date employees have continued to be made redundant pursuant to this plan. Additionally, during 2003 the Company increased the amount of the accrual recorded under Chilean GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, the criteria for liability recognition in connection with restructuring plans initiated on or prior to December 31, 2002 is set forth in EITF 94-7. Such criteria includes the requirement that the benefit arrangement is communicated to employees in sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive if they are terminated. As of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, this requirement had not been met.

 

The net effect of eliminating the accrued liability recognized under Chile GAAP is presented in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(p)                                  Revenue recognition in Edesur

 

During 2005, Edesur reached final agreement with the relevant Argentinean authorities regarding an increase in tariffs related to electricity distribution services. This increase is currently pending ratification via formal decree by the executive power of the Argentinean government (PEN). The Company believes it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the tariff increase will flow to the enterprise, and that all other revenue recognition criteria established by Chilean GAAP have been met. Accordingly, the effects of the rate increase have been included in revenues under Chilean GAAP. However, the effects of the increase in tariffs have not been included in revenues under U.S. GAAP, because management believes that the persuasive evidence of an arrangement criterion under SAB Topic 13 is not met until the agreement is formally ratified by the PEN.

 

The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in (gg) below.

 

(q)                                  Elimination of capitalized interest in Brazil

 

Until 1999, under Chilean GAAP, the Company capitalized interest to property, plant and equipment as a result of the creation of a legal reserve specifically permitted in Brazil for the electricity industry by crediting interest expense. Under U.S. GAAP, interest capitalized must be based on actual interest incurred, and as such the effects of the elimination of the interest capitalized to property, plant and equipment and the effects on depreciation expense are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(r)                      Organizational and start-up costs

 

Certain costs related to the organization and creation of certain subsidiaries of the Company are deferred and capitalized under Chilean GAAP and amortized.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, such organizational and start-up costs may not be deferred and must be included in income as incurred.

 

The effects of the difference are included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

(s)                      Translation of Financial Statements of Investments Outside of Chile

 

Under Chilean GAAP, in accordance with Technical Bulletin 64 (“B.T. 64”) the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries exposed to significant risks (“unstable” countries), and that are not considered to be an extension of the parent company’s operations, are remeasured into US dollars. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries in Argentina, Perú, Brazil, and Colombia all meet the criteria of foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries exposed to significant risks under BT 64, and are remeasured into US dollars. The Company has remeasured its foreign subsidiaries into US dollars under this requirement as follows:

 

                      Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.

 

F-132



 

                      All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholder’s equity are translated at historical rates of exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.

                      Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of exchange between the US dollar and local currency.

                      The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations between the local currency and the US dollar are included in the results of operations for the period.

 

Under BT 64, the investment in the foreign subsidiary is price-level restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of the foreign exchange gains or losses between the Chilean Peso and the US dollar on the foreign investment measured in US dollars, are reflected in equity in the account “Cumulative Translation Adjustment”.

 

The amount of foreign exchange gain (loss) included in income that is attributable to operations in unstable countries because these amounts have been remeasured into US dollars was ThCh$(71,690,649), ThCh$(58,997,728) and ThCh$(24,869,689) for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively (See Note 23). Company’s Management believes that, foreign currency translation procedures described above are part of the comprehensive basis of preparation of price-level adjusted financial statements required by Chilean GAAP. The AICPA International Practice Task Force has given Chile an exemption for application of SFAS No. 52 to investments outside Chile as established in Technical Bulletin No. 64 results in similar treatment to SFAS No. 52.

 

(t)                        Derivative instruments

 

The Company engages in derivative activity for hedging certain risks. These derivatives are considered accounting hedges under Chilean GAAP. Under Chilean GAAP the accounting treatment of hedging activity is similar to the accounting treatment of fair value hedges and cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. The documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements under Chilean GAAP though are not as burdensome as under SFAS 133. Under SFAS 133, to qualify for hedge accounting strict requirements need to be met, including hedge documentation and effectiveness tests. As of December 31, 2004, certain cross-currency swaps had by Enersis with a fair value of ThCh$(52,126,860) as of that date, qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 since all the documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements were fuefilled. All foreing currency and interest rate hedging instruments entered into during 2005 (total estimated fair value of ThCh$(99,264,019) as of December 31, 2005) fulfill the documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements to qualify for hedge accounting.

 

The Company has designated under Chilean GAAP certain non-derivative financial instruments as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of net investments in foreign operations. The gain or loss on the non-derivative financial instrument that is designated as a hedge is reported as a translation adjustment to the extent it is effective as a hedge, any ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. This accounting treatment is consistent with SFAS 133.

 

SFAS 133 also requires that certain embedded derivatives be separated and reported on the balance sheet at fair value and be subject to the same rules as other derivative instruments. Current Chilean accounting rules do not consider the existence of derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and therefore they are not reflected in the financial statements under Chilean GAAP.

 

The effects of the adjustment with respect to financial derivatives, commodity derivatives, and embedded derivatives for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

(u)                     Fair value of long-term debt assumed

 

As discussed in paragraph (i), under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value is recorded as goodwill. Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. As part of the purchase of the majority ownership interest in Endesa-Chile, under U.S. GAAP, a portion of the purchase price would have been allocated to the fair value of long-term debt.

 

The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in paragraph (gg) below.

 

F-133



 

(v)                       Effects on US GAAP of sale of subsidiary Río Maipo

 

The adjustment of the net gain obtained from the sale of the subsidiary Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A results from the reversal of the accumulated U.S. GAAP adjustments at the date of sale. As explained in Note 11f), this subsidiary was sold in April 2003. The reversal of these adjustment increased by ThCh$519,644 the gain obtained from the sale of this subsidiary. The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in (gg) below.

 

The operating income generated by Río Maipo until disposal date amounted to ThCh$2,930,162 (sales of ThCh$15,357,867 less cost of sales of ThCh$11,487,135 and administrative and selling expenses of ThCh$940,570) and was reclassified from non-operating income to operating income in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 36 II (k)).

 

(w)                    Deferred income

 

During 2000, fiber optic cable was contributed to the Company in return for granting the contributing company access to the fiber optic network after installation in the Company’s electricity distribution system. Under Chilean GAAP, the contributed assets were recorded at their fair market value, with a corresponding credit recognized as income in 2000. Under U.S. GAAP, the amount was deferred and amortized over the life of the related service contract. This adjustment reverses the gain under Chilean GAAP and records the amortization of the deferred income recognized under U.S. GAAP. The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in (gg) below.

 

(x)                      Regulated assets and deferred costs

 

The electricity sector in Chile and other Latin American countries is regulated pursuant to applicable laws. Most of the Company’s sales are subject to node price regulation, which is designed to ensure an adequate supply of energy at reasonable, determined prices, which considers a variety of factors. The marginal cost pricing model is not solely based upon costs incurred by the Company, and as a result, the requirements of U.S. GAAP under SFAS No.71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation”, related to a businesses whose rates are not regulated are not applicable, except for the Company’s operations in Brazil as described below.

 

As a result of changes in Brazilian Electricity Laws and Regulations, the Company’s distribution subsidiaries in Brazil, Ampla Energia e Serviços S.A. (AMPLA, ex CERJ) and Companhia Energética do Ceará (Coelce), are subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 71 beginning on January 1, 2001. With the new regulations issued by the National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL), the rate-setting structure in Brazil is now designed to provide recovery for allowable costs incurred, which will be recovered through future increases in energy tariffs in order to recover losses experienced during the period of Brazilian Federal Government mandated energy rationing from June 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001. The Company estimates remaining costs will be recovered over a period of three years, from the balance date.

 

Accordingly, the Company capitalizes incurred costs as deferred regulatory assets when it is probable that future revenue equal to the costs incurred will be billed and collected as a direct result of the inclusion of the costs in an increased rate set by the regulator. The deferred regulatory asset is eliminated when the Company collects the related costs through billings to customers. ANEEL perform a rate review on an annual basis. If ANEEL excludes all or part of a cost from recovery, that portion of the deferred regulatory assets is impaired and is accordingly reduced to the extent of the excluded cost. The Company has recorded deferred regulatory assets, which it expects to pass on to its customers in accordance with and subject to regulatory provisions.

 

The regulations also included certain VPA costs, which each distribution company is permitted to defer and pass on to their customers using future rate adjustments. VPA costs are limited by concession contracts to the cost of purchased power and certain other costs and taxes. Due to uncertainty in the Brazilian economy, ANEEL delayed the approval of such VPA rate increases. An Executive Order in October 2001 created a tracking account mechanism, in order to calculate the variation in the VPA costs for future rate adjustment calculation purposes. The Company has not recognized any regulatory assets for VPA costs incurred prior to 2001, because costs incurred prior to January 1, 2001, are not recoverable through the tracking account.

 

F-134



 

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company recognized revenue and deferred costs related to the regulated assets. Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with EITF 92-7, “Accounting by Rate Regulated Utilities for the Effects of Certain Alternate Revenue Programs”, revenue amounts not expected to be collected within 24 months, have been deferred.

 

The effect of deferring revenues expected to be collected after two years is included in (gg) below.

 

(y)                      Reorganization of subsidiaries

 

This adjustment corresponds to the reorganization of the Company’s subsidiaries Central Costanera S.A. and Central Buenos Aires (CBA) during 2001, in which Central Costanera acquired the minority interest in CBA from third parties and exchanged shares with Endesa Argentina S.A. Under Chilean GAAP, the Company recorded the transactions under the pooling method, using the book values of the net assets acquired under merger accounting.

 

Under U.S. GAAP the exchange of shares between entities under common control is recorded at book values. However, to the extent that shares in CBA were acquired from third parties, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value using purchase accounting together with the shares issued by the subsidiary Central Costanera S.A. The difference in property, plant and equipment basis between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP results in a greater depreciation expense to be recorded under U.S. GAAP over the remaining estimated useful life of 20 years.

 

The effect of this adjustment is included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

(z)                      Assets held for sale

 

Under Chilean GAAP the Company records divestitures of investments or assets in the year in which they occur. Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets for which there is a plan to sell the assets within the following year, shall be disclosed separately from the Company’s other assets, provided certain criteria are met. Additionally, long-lived assets classified as held for sale must be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Long-lived assets shall not be depreciated while they are classified as held for sale, while interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall continue to be accrued.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell a number of the Company’s assets during October 2002. The following assets to be sold meet the definition of reporting units or long-lived assets held for sale:

 

                  Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A.

                  Central Canutillar power plant

                  Gas Atacama transmission lines

                  CELTA transmission lines

                  Infraestructura 2000 S.A.

 

The Company evaluated the carrying values of all assets held for sale, recording a loss to the extent that one of the assets’ fair values less cost to sell was lower than the carrying value of those assets. Additionally, the Company ceased recording depreciation expense once the assets met the qualification criteria of held for sale, which occurred over various dates from October to December 2002.

 

During 2003, all of the designated assets had been sold therefore eliminating this difference in 2003.

 

The effect of these adjustments is included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

F-135



 

(aa)                Elimination of discontinued operations

 

Under Chilean GAAP, no restatement to the financial statement information presented in previous years is required after a divestiture has occurred. Under US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the discontinued operations of a component must be retroactively separated from the continuing operations of an entity, when the operations and cash flows of a component which will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of an entity as a result of a disposal transaction will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of a component after the disposal transaction.

 

The Company evaluated whether any of the assets held for sale met either criteria, noting that the transmission lines and power plant are not components, as they are included as a part of larger cash flow generating groups, and the operations of these assets cannot be separated from their respective groups. Additionally, Endesa-Chile plans to continue generating revenues from Canutillar through a purchase power agreement, management agreement, and a transmission leasing arrangement with the future buyer. Infraestructura 2000 S.A. met the conditions for being classified as a discontinued operation, because it has distinct and separable financial results from operations and cash flows. As a result of the disposal, the results of operations of the reporting unit have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of Enersis, as Enersis will not have any continuing involvement in the operations of Infraestructura 2000 S.A. after its was sold. The Rio Maipo facility was classified as “held for sale” on December 31, 2002. In April, 2003, the Company sold the facility. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company determined that the Rio Maipo did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operations as Enersis will have a significant continuing involvement through continuing sales to Rio Maipo’ though its subsidiary Endesa - - Chile.

 

The effect of reclassifying discontinued operations is included in the net income reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

(bb)                Effects of minority interest on the U.S. GAAP adjustments

 

The net income and shareholders’ equity under Chilean GAAP is adjusted in the U.S. GAAP footnote for the impact of the U.S. GAAP reconciling items on the allocation of income and loss to minority interests. The sum of this adjustment and the minority interest reflected in our consolidated income statement and balance sheet for each period presented under Chilean GAAP represents the allocation of our results and shareholders’ equity to our minority shareholders under U.S. GAAP.

 

The effect of this adjustment is included in net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

 

F-136



 

(cc)                Negative Goodwill AMPLA  (ex-CERJ)

 

In January 2003, AMPLA, one of our Brazilian subsidiaries approved a capital increase as a result of which our ownership interest in AMPLA increased, as certain minority shareholders, including certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Endesa-Spain, Enersis’ ultimate parent company did not participate.

 

Under Chile GAAP in accordance with BT No 42 and SVS Circular 368, the Company recognized the value of the difference between the amount contributed and the underlying net book value in the company as negative goodwill, to be amortized over a 20 year period. In accordance with the appropriate guidance, Enersis is allowed to fully amortize into income the amount of any negative goodwill, if during the first year subsequent to the capital increase the amount of the losses incurred by the subsidiary is in excess of the amount of negative goodwill. During 2003, AMPLA incurred losses, and, consequently Enersis fully amortized into income the negative goodwill originally recognized.

 

Under US GAAP, the transaction would be considered a transaction between entities under common control in which the minority interest did not participate, consequently in accordance with guidance in SFAS N°141, the transaction is accounted for as a capital transaction. Consequently the amount of the negative goodwill amortized into income in Chile GAAP is recorded directly as an increase to consolidated equity under US GAAP.

 

The effects in net income of the US GAAP adjustment are presented in note (gg) below.

 

(dd)                Extinguishment of debt

 

In March 2003, certain bondholders were granted an option to exchange between November 1, and 15, 2003, their bonds for shares of the Company at a fixed price of Ch$60.4202. Under Chilean GAAP the transaction was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity with the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the strike price of the conversion recognized directly in equity as share premium.

 

Under US GAAP the transaction should be recognized as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with APB No. 14, using as reacquisition price of the extinguished debt the value of the common shares issued or the value of the debt whichever is more clearly evident. As Enersis stock is publicly traded the fair value of the shares is considered to be more clearly evident. The average conversion price during November 2003, the conversion period was Ch$78 per share.

 

The effects in net income and shareholders’ equity of the US GAAP adjustment are presented in note (gg) below.

 

(ee)                Asset retirement obligations

 

Under Chilean GAAP, there is no requirement to record obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” effective January 1, 2003. Previously, the Company had not been recognizing amounts related to asset retirement obligations under U.S. GAAP.

 

This standard requires the Company to record the fair value of the legal obligation it has to make certain environmental restorations upon closure of its facilities. The fair value of the liability is estimated by discounting the future estimated expenditures related to the restoration. The Company then measures changes in the liability due to passage of time by applying an interest method of allocation to the amount of the liability at the beginning of the period. The interest rate used to measure that change is the credit-adjusted risk-free rate that existed when the liability, or portion thereof, was initially measured. That amount is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and the expense is classified as an operating item in the statement of income, referred to as accretion expense.

 

At the same time the standard requires the Company to capitalize the new asset retirement abligation costs arising as the result of additional liabilities incurred, such as the activation of a new generation facility, and subsequently allocate that asset retirement cost to expense over the life of the plant based on the useful life of the plant. The accumulated effect of adopting SFAS 143 as of January 1, 2003 is presented in paragraph (gg) below, net of taxes of ThCh$297,852 and minority interest of ThCh$159,935. At December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the adjustment to US GAAP income from

 

F-137



 

continuing operations represents the accreted interest expense and depreciation of the costs capitalized for the asset retirement obligations.

 

In Peru, where we have eight hydroelectric plants and one thermoelectric plant, existing legislation includes the requirement for entities with electrical assets to conduct retirement activities when operations cease. In Chile, under certain concession decrees governing four distribution lines, we are similarly required to conduct retirement activities upon cessation of operations.

 

The effects of this U.S. GAAP adjustment on net income and shareholders’ equity are presented in note (gg) below.

 

(ff)                    Creation of Endesa Brasil

 

On September 30, 2005, certain Brazilian affiliates under common control were reorganized under a newly created holding company, Endesa Brasil S.A. In connection with this reorganization, Enersis transferred its interest in certain investees to Endesa Brasil in exchange for a 53.61% direct and indirect interest therein (see Note 11). The Company began accounting for Endesa Brasil as a consolidated subsidiary as of that date. The difference between the Company’s U.S. GAAP basis carrying amount in net assets contributed, and U.S. GAAP basis carrying amount in the net assets received generated a charge to equity of ThCh$7,492,089. Although the Chilean GAAP accounting treatment for the reorganization is identical to that of U.S. GAAP, the amount of corresponding charge to equity in the Chilean GAAP financial statements differed from the U.S. GAAP amount, due to the differences in the bases of assets and liabilities contributed and received.

(1)              Tax loss carryforwards relate primarily to Peruvian, Chilean and Brazilian entities. In accordance with the current enacted tax law in Chile and Brazil, such tax losses may be carried-forward indefinitely, however Peruvian tax carryforwards expire after five years.

(2)              In September 2004, the Peruvian tax court ruled invalid the tax basis of certain assets held by Edegel S.A. Based on this ruling, the Company has increased the long-term deferred tax liability ThCh$80,429,245, in order to reflect the write-off of the corresponding tax-basis assets held in Peru. As such estimate of future deductible amounts was determined prior to the acquisition of Edegel in connection with the acquisition of Endesa-Chile in 1999, the Company has adjusted goodwill by a corresponding amount in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) and EITF 93-7 “Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Business Combination”.

(i)                Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

 

The following methods and assumption were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

                      Cash

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash is equal to its carrying value.

 

                      Time deposits

 

The fair value of time deposits approximates carrying value due to its relatively short-term nature.

 

                      Marketable securities

 

The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices of the mutual money market funds held and approximates carrying value.

 

                      Long-term accounts receivable

 

The fair value of long-term accounts receivable was estimated using the interest rates that are currently offered for loans with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

                      Long-term debt

 

The fair value of long-term debt was based on rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

F-150



 

                      Derivative instruments

 

Estimates of fair values of derivative instruments for which no quoted prices or secondary market exists have been made using valuation techniques such as forward pricing models, present value of estimated future cash flows, and other modeling techniques. These estimates of fair value include assumptions made by the Company about market variables that may change in the future. Changes in assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimate of fair values disclosed. As a result such fair value amounts are subject to significant volatility and are highly dependent on the quality of the assumptions used.

(j)                Derivative instruments

 

The Company is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, primary materials such as natural gas, petroleum, coal, and other energy-related products, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. The Company employs policies and procedures to manage its risks associated with these market fluctuation on a global basis through strategic contract selection, fixed-rate and variable-rate portfolio targets, net investment hedges, and financial derivatives. All derivatives that do not qualify for the normal purchase and sales exemption under SFAS No. 133 are recorded at their fair value. On the date that swaps, futures, forwards or option contracts are entered into, the Company designates the derivatives as a “hedge”, if the documentation is not appropriate to designate as a “hedge”, the derivative’s mark-to-market adjustment flows through the income statement.

 

The Company has classified its derivatives into the following general categories: commodity derivatives, embedded derivatives, and financial derivatives. Certain energy and other contracts for the Company’s operations in Chile are denominated in the US dollar. According to SFAS No. 133, an embedded foreign currency derivative should be separated from the host contract because none of the applicable exclusions are met (See Embedded Derivative Contracts below). For purposes of evaluating the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina, Perú, Brazil, and Colombia, the Company applied BT 64, consistent with the methodology described in Note 36 I paragraph (s), thus the functional currency of these subsidiaries was the US dollar as these subsidiaries were remeasured into US dollars because foreign subsidiaries operate in countries exposed to significant risks as determined under BT 64.

Certain Company’s generation and distribution commodity contracts could be seen as contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS No. 133 and would be required to be accounted for at fair value. These conditions are (i) have an underlying, which is the market price of power at the delivery location and a notional amount specified in the contract; (ii) have no initial payment on entering into the contract; and (iii) have a net settlement provision or have the characteristic of net settlement because power is readily convertible to cash, as it is both fungible and actively traded in the country of generation or country of distribution.

 

The Company assessed that its commodity contracts that are requirements contracts do not meet the above definition because the contracts do not have notional amounts, as they only have maximum amounts or no specified amounts, and do not include an implicit or explicit minimum amount in a settlement or a default clause. A requirements contract allows the purchaser to use as many units of power as required to satisfy its actual needs for power during the period of the contract, and the party is not permitted to buy more than its actual needs.

 

The Company concluded that all of its power is readily convertible to cash as energy is actively traded, or the Company has access, to markets where energy is actively traded. However, only certain electricity generators or distributors have access to the energy markets, thus determination as to whether energy could be considered readily convertible to cash was analyzed on a country by country basis. The Company has also concluded that multiple-delivery long-term power contracts meet the net settlement characteristic. Management believes that multiple-delivery long-term power contracts are readily convertible to cash because the Company operates in countries with active spot markets, that, although they contain varying levels of liquidity, can rapidly absorb the contract’s quantities at each delivery date without significantly affecting the price, and thus meet the definition of net settlement, consequently these contracts are accounted for as derivatives that under SFAS No.133.

 

Because both the purchases and sales interconnection contracts are for periods up to 20 years in complex markets, where no similar term forward market information is available, the Company has estimated such values based on the best information available, including using modeling and other valuation techniques. The Company has recorded the best estimate of fair value, however with different assumptions such as interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, electricity rates, and increases in cost trends, materially different fair values could result. As a result such estimates are highly volatile and dependent upon the assumptions used. The assumption to measure the fair value of these interconnection related contracts using the Argentine market prices may have a significant effect on the Company’s net income and shareholders’ equity.

 

Embedded Derivative Contracts

 

The Company enters into certain contracts that have embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract. As specified in SFAS No. 133, bifurcation analysis focuses on whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. In certain identified contracts, the host service contract and the embedded feature are not indexed to the same underlying and changes in the price or value of service will not always correspond to changes in the price of the commodity to which the contract is indexed. U.S. GAAP requires embedded features to be measured at fair value as freestanding instruments. Unless the embedded contracts are remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP, the embedded feature must be valued at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur.

 

Embedded foreign currency derivative instruments are not separated from the host contract and considered a derivative instrument if the host contract is not a financia1 instrument and it requires payments denominated in either: (1) the currency of any substantial patty to the contract. (2) the local currency of any substantial party to the contract, (3) the currency used because the primary economic environment is highly inflationary, or (4) the currency in which the good or service is routinely denominated in international commerce.

 

F-153



 

Financial Derivatives

 

Changes in interest rates expose the Company to risk as a result of its portfolio of fixed-rate and variable rate debt. The Company manages interest rate risk exposure on a global basis by limiting its variable rate and fixed-rate exposures to certain variable/fixed mixes set by policy.

 

The Company manages interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps and collars and cross-currency swaps. The Company does not enter into financia1 instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

The Company also uses short duration forward foreign currency contracts and swaps, and cross-currency swaps, where possible, to manage its risk related to foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts are considered “cover” contracts under Chilean GAAP. In accordance with Chilean GAAP the gain and losses on these contracts are deferred until realized as assets or liabilities.

 

For US GAAP purposes the Company has met all the requirements for designating all the derivative instruments subscribed during 2005 as “hedges” as well as the cross currency swaps held by Enersis since 2004. These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet with any gain and/or losses being recorded according to fair value or cash flow hedge accounting as stated in SFAS 133.

 

Net lnvestment Hedges

 

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-term debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which is the US dollar. This risk is mitigated, as a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues are either directly or indirectly linked to the US dollar. Additionally, the Company records the foreign exchange gains and losses on liabilities related to net investments in foreign countries which are denominated in the same currency as the functional currency of those foreign investments. Such unrealized gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders equity’, and in this way act as a net investment hedge of the exchange risk affecting the investments (see Note ll (c) and Note 22 (f) for further detail).

 

The accounting treatment for such operations is the same under Chile GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

 

(k)            Reclassification to U.S. GAAP

 

Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP income statement in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with presentation requirements under U.S. GAAP. For example, certain non-operating income and expenses under Chilean GAAP would be included in the determination of operating income under U.S. GAAP. Such reclassifications from non-operating to operating income and expense include the following:

 

                                         Losses arising from contingencies and litigation, and reversals thereof

                                         Gains and losses from sales of subsidiaries and related companies

                                         Gains and losses from disposals of fixed assets

                                         Taxes, other than income taxes, incurred in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru

                                         Pension plan expenses

                                         Penalties and fines

 

In addition to the above, recovered taxes included in other non-operating revenues under Chilean GAAP would be recorded as part of income tax expense under U.S. GAAP, and  equity in net income or loss of related companies included in non-operating results under Chilean would be presented after income taxes and minority interest under U.S. GAAP.

Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP balance sheet in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with presentation requirements under U.S. GAAP. Deferred taxes from depreciation differences that are recorded as short-term under Chilean GAAP would be recorded as long-term under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the regulated asset recorded during 2001 by Coelce and Ampla, Brazilian subsidiaries, has been partially recorded in trade receivables and an additional component was recorded in current assets by Coelce under Chilean GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP the presentation of these regulated assets should be classified as non-current assets as the recovery of these assets is not expected in the short term. Assets and liabilities related to financial derivatives have been recorded in the balance sheet at their gross amounts for Chilean GAAP purposes, whereas under US GAAP unrealized derivative gains and losses are recorded in earnings or directly to shareholders’ equity for qualifying cash flow hedges. Under U.S. GAAP, negative goodwill is allocated to long-lived assets instead of a separate line term in the other assets. These reclassifications exclude consolidation of development stage companies, the effect of which is immaterial.

(l)                Employee Benefit Plans

 

ENERSIS S.A. and its subsidiaries sponsor various benefit plans for its current and retired employees. A description of such’ benefits follows:

 

Severance indemnities

 

The provision for severance indemnities, included in the account “Accrued expenses” short and long-term is calculated in accordance with the policy set forth in Note 2 (n), using the current salary levels of all employees covered under the severance indemnities agreement, an assumed discount rate of 9.5% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 6.5% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, and an estimated average service period based on the years of services for the Company.

 

Benefits for Retired Personnel

 

Other benefits provided to certain retired personnel of Enersis include electrical service rate subsidies, additional medical insurance and additional post-retirement benefits. Descriptions of these benefits for retired personnel are as follows:

 

i) Electrical rate service

 

This benefit is extended only to certain retired personnel of Enersis. These electric rate subsidies result in the eligible retired employees paying a percentage of their total monthly electricity costs, with Enersis paying the difference.

 

ii) Medical benefits

 

This benefit provides supplementary health insurance, which covers a portion of health benefits not covered under the institutional health benefits maintained by employees of Enersis. This benefit expires at the time of death of the pensioner.

 

iii) Supplementary pension benefits

 

Eligible employees are able to receive a monthly amount designed to cover a portion of the difference between their salary at the point of retirement and the theoretical pension that would have been received had the employee reached the legal retirement age of the Institución de Previsión Social (Institute of Social Welfare). This benefit expires upon the death of the pensioner for the Enersis employee, however, continues to cover the surviving-spouse in the case of employees of the subsidiary Endesa-Chile.

 

iv) Worker’s compensation benefits

 

Employees that were entitled to Worker’s compensation insurance in prior years for work related injuries receive benefits from the Company when that insurance expires. This benefit continues at the time of death of the pensioner, to cover the surviving-spouse.

 

The Company has recognized liabilities related to complementary pension plan benefits and other postretirement benefits as stipulated in collective bargaining agreements. Under U.S. GAAP, post-retirement employee benefits have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106, with inclusion of prior-period amounts in current year’s income as the amounts are not considered significant to the overall financial statement presentation. The effects of accounting for post-retirement benefits under U.S. GAAP have been presented in paragraph (gg), above. The following data represents Chile GAAP amounts presented under FAS N°132 Revised 2003 Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and other Postretirement Benefits, for Company’s post-retirement benefit plans.

(n)             Goodwill and intangible assets

 

As discussed in Note 36 paragraph (i), ENERSIS S.A. adopted SFAS 142, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Instead, FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142, effective January 1, 2002 and annually thereafter. Under SFAS 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company’s reporting units are at the operating subsidiary level. This methodology differs from Enersis’s previous policy, as provided under accounting standards existing at that time of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill was recoverable. Subsequent to adoption ins 2002 of SFAS No. 142, due to changes in circunstances, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of ThCh$637,543,535 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.

 

In calculating the impairment charge, the fair value of the impaired reporting units underlying the segments were estimated using discounted cash flow methodology. The ThCh$637,543,535 goodwill impairment is associated entirely with goodwill associated with investments in Argentina and Brazil. The impairment reflects the decline in the Company’s revenues and forecasted cash flows in their Argentina and Brazilian subsidiaries and the increase in inflation and interest rates and decreasing expectations of the currencies in Argentina and Brazil. Prior to performing the review for impairment, SFAS 142 required that all goodwill deemed to be related to the entity as a whole be assigned to all of the Company’s reporting units, including the reporting units of the acquirer.

 

A summary of the changes in the Company’s goodwill under U.S. GAAP during the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, by country of operation and segment is as follows:

The Company’s intangible assets were ThCh$83,614,327 and ThCh$81,815,595 and related accumulated amortization were ThCh$45,598,343 and ThCh$48,423,446 as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. There is no difference between Chilean and U.S. GAAP in the amortization of intangible assets because all of the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization, since they relate to finite contracts or concessions.

 

(o)              Asset retirement obligations

 

As discussed in Note 36 paragraph (gg), the Company adopted SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. The following table describes all changes to the Company’s U.S. GAAP asset retirement obligation during the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2005:

(p)              Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The following new accounting standards have been adopted by the Company during the year-ended December 31, 2005 and the impact of such adoption, if applicable, has been presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

i)                     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 or SFAS No. 153, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

ii)                  In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless impracticable. The statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used and redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. The new standard is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

iii)               On November 2, 2005, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which nullifies certain requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” and supersedes EITF Abstracts Topic No. D-44, Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Upon the Planned Sale of a Security whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value. The guidance in this FSP shall be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The

 

F-163



 

Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

iv)              At the June 15 and 16 EITF meeting, and further modified at the September 15, 2005 meeting, the EITF discussed Issue 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination, (“EITF 05-6”), and concluded on the appropriate amortization periods for leasehold improvements either acquired in a business combination or which were not preexisting and were placed in service significantly after, and not contemplated at, the beginning of the lease term. This Issue is effective for leasehold improvements (that are within the scope of this Issue) that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of EITF 05-6 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

v)                 In February 2006 The FASB has issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” The new statement:

 

a)                   permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;

 

b)                  clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”;

 

c)                   establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;

 

d)                  clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and

 

e)                   amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

 

SFAS 155 generally is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after 15 September 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
