INTRODUCTION

 

As used in this Report on Form 20-F, first person personal pronouns such as “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Enersis S.A.  (“Enersis” or the “Company”) and our consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.  Unless otherwise noted, our interest in our principal subsidiaries and affiliates is expressed in terms of our economic interest as of December 31, 2008.

 

We are a Chilean company with subsidiaries engaged primarily in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.  As of the date of this Report, we own 60.0% of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“Endesa Chile”) and 99.1% of Chilectra S.A.  As of December 31, 2008 Endesa, S.A. (“Endesa Spain”), a Spanish electricity generation and distribution company, owned 60.6% of Enersis.

 

Financial Information

 

In this Report on Form 20-F, unless otherwise specified, references to “dollars” or “$” are to dollars of the United States of America; references to “pesos” or “Ch$” 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 the Brazilian real, the legal currency of Brazil; references to “soles” are to soles, the legal currency of Peru; references to “CPs” or Colombian pesos are to the legal currency of Colombia; references to “€” or “Euros” are to the legal currency of the European Union; 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, 2008, UF 1 was equivalent to Ch$ 21,452.57.  The dollar equivalent of UF 1 was $ 33.71 at December 31, 2008, using the Observed Exchange Rate, reported by the Banco Central de Chile (the “Chilean Central Bank” or the “Central Bank”) as of December 31, 2008, of Ch$ 636.45 per $ 1.00.  As of May 29, 2009, UF 1 was equivalent to Ch$ 20,992.00.  The dollar equivalent of UF 1 was $ 37.45 as of May 29, 2009, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank of Ch$ 560.58 per $ 1.00.

 

Our audited consolidated financial statements and, unless otherwise indicated, other financial information concerning us and our subsidiaries included in this Report are presented in constant pesos in conformity with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles (“Chilean GAAP”) and the rules of the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, or SVS.  Data expressed in pesos for all periods in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 are expressed in constant pesos as of December 31, 2008 (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 monthly by Chile’s Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the “National Bureau of Statistics”).  For example, the inflation adjustment applicable for the 2008 calendar year is the percentage change between the November 2007 Chilean CPI and the November 2008 Chilean CPI, which was 8.9%. On the other hand, economic inflation for 2008 is based on the CPI change between December 31, 2007 and 2008, which amounted to 7.1%, and was lower than the figure used in accordance with accounting norms.  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 for a description of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to us, and for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of stockholders’ equity and net income as of and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

 

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 such company; or

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2008, we consolidated Endesa Chile, 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 Ltda., or IMV, Synapsis Soluciones y Servicios IT Ltda., or Synapsis, Compañía Americana de Multiservicios Ltda., or CAM, and Codensa S.A. E.S.P., or Codensa.  Through Endesa Brasil S.A., or Endesa Brasil, we consolidated Ampla Energia e Serviços S.A., or Ampla, Investluz (which in turn consolidated Companhia Energética do Ceará S.A., or Coelce), Central Geradora Termelétrica Fortaleza  S.A., or Endesa Fortaleza, Centrais Elétricas Cachoeira Dourada S.A., or Cachoeira 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 operating Chilean subsidiaries.  In Argentina, Endesa Chile consolidated Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., or El Chocón, and Endesa Costanera S.A., or Endesa Costanera.  In Colombia, Endesa Chile consolidated Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., or Emgesa.  Endesa Chile also consolidated Edegel S.A.A., or Edegel, in Peru.

 

For the convenience of the reader, this Report contains translations of certain peso amounts into dollars at specified rates.  Unless otherwise indicated, the dollar equivalent for information in pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate, as defined in “Item 3.  Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data — Exchange Rates” at December 31, 2008.  The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for pesos.  No representation is made that the peso or dollar amounts shown in this Report could have been or could be converted into dollars or 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 gigawatts 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 Report with respect to electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW, in the case of the installed capacity of such facilities.  One GW equals 1,000 MW, and one MW equals 1,000 kW.

 

Statistics relating to aggregate annual electricity production are expressed in GWh and based on a year of 8,760 hours, except for 2008, a leap year, based on 8,784 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 us from our generators.

 

Energy losses during transmission are calculated by subtracting the number of GWh of energy sold from the number of GWh of energy purchased and generated (that excludes own energy consumption and losses of the power plant), within a given period.

Calculation of Economic Interest

 

References are made in this Report to the “economic interest” of Enersis in its subsidiaries or affiliates.  In circumstances where we do not directly own an interest in a subsidiary or affiliate, our economic interest in such ultimate subsidiary or affiliate is calculated by multiplying the percentage economic interest in a directly held subsidiary or affiliate by the percentage economic interest of any entity in the ownership chain of such subsidiary or affiliate.  For example, if we own 60% of a directly held subsidiary and that subsidiary owns 40% of an affiliate, our economic interest in such affiliate would be 24%.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Report contains statements that are or may constitute forward-looking statements.  These statements appear throughout this Report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations, including but not limited to any statements concerning:

 

·                  our capital investment program;

·                  other statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Report regarding matters that are not historical facts.

 

Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to:

 

·                  changes in the regulatory framework of the electric industry in one or more of the countries in which we operate;

 

·                  our ability to implement proposed capital expenditures, including our ability to arrange financing where required;

 

·                  the nature and extent of future competition in our principal markets;

 

·                  political, economic and demographic developments in the emerging market countries of South America where we conduct our business; and

and, accordingly, do not provide any assurance with respect to such statements.  You should consider these cautionary statements together with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may issue in the future.  We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements contained in this Report to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

(1)              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.

 

(2)              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.  Ampla had generation facilities which were sold in 2006.

 

(3)              Energy production is defined as total generation minus energy consumption and technical losses within our own power plants.

 

(4)              Endesa Chile consolidated Cachoeira Dourada’s generation only through September 2005.

Exchange Rates

 

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the peso and the dollar will affect the dollar equivalent of the peso price of our shares of common stock, without par value (the “Shares” or the “Common Stock”), on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), the Bolsa Electrónica de Chile (the “Chilean Electronic Exchange”) and the Bolsa de Corredores de Valparaíso (the “Valparaíso Stock Exchange”) (collectively, the “Chilean Exchanges”).  These exchange rate fluctuations will likely affect the price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and the conversion of cash dividends relating to the Shares represented by ADSs from pesos to dollars.  In addition, to the extent financial liabilities of the Company are denominated in foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant impact on earnings.

 

The Ley Orgánica del Banco Central de Chile 18,840 (the “Central Bank Act”), provides that the Central Bank may require that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Formal (the “Formal Exchange Market”), a market formed by banks and other entities explicitly authorized by the Central Bank.  Purchases and sales of foreign currency, which can take place outside the Formal Exchange Market, can be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Informal (the “Informal Exchange Market”), which is a recognized currency market in Chile.  Free market forces drive both the Formal and Informal Exchange Markets.  Foreign currency for payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs may be purchased in either the Formal or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments and distributions must be remitted through the Formal Exchange Market.  The Central Bank publishes daily the dólar observado (the “Observed Exchange Rate”), which is computed by taking the weighted average of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market.

 

Since 1993, the Observed Exchange Rate and the Informal Exchange Rate have typically been within less than 1% of each other.  The Informal Exchange Rate means the average rate at which transactions are made in the Informal Exchange Market.  On December 31, 2008, the Informal Exchange Rate was Ch$ 638.50, or 0.3% higher than the published Observed Exchange Rate of Ch$ 636.45 per $ 1.00.  On May 29, 2009, the informal exchange rate was Ch$ 561.45 per $ 1.00, 0.16% higher than the Observed Exchange Rate corresponding to such date of Ch$ 560.58 per $ 1.00.  Unless otherwise indicated, amounts translated to dollars were calculated based on the exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2008.

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods and dates indicated, certain information concerning the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank.

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

 

All of our operations are located in five South American countries.  Accordingly, our consolidated revenues are sensitive to the performance of South American economies as a whole.  If local, regional or worldwide economic trends adversely affect the economy of any of the five 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 may have a significant effect on the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile.  Chilean financial and securities markets may be affected adversely by events in other countries and such effects may affect the value of our securities.  Moreover, we have significant investments in relatively risky countries such as Argentina.  Generation and distribution of cash from such 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 adversely affect our business.

 

Governmental authorities have changed monetary, credit, tariff and other policies to influence the course of the economies of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.  These governmental actions intended to control inflation and affect other policies have often involved wage, price and tariff rate controls as well as other interventionist measures, which in Argentina included freezing bank accounts and imposing capital controls in 2001 and the nationalization of the private sector pension funds in 2008. Changes in the policies of these governmental authorities with respect to tariff rates, exchange controls, regulations and taxation could adversely affect our business and financial results, as could inflation, devaluation, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments, including the response by governments in the region to these circumstances.  If governmental authorities intervene materially in any of the countries in which we operate, it could cause our business to become less profitable, and our results from operations may be affected adversely.

 

The worldwide financial crisis will have a significant adverse effect on our access to bank loans and, to a lesser degree, the capital markets and a prolonged recession would likely affect our results of operations.

 

The worldwide credit crisis and its disruptive effect on the financial industry is likely to have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain new bank loans under the terms and conditions that have been available to us until now.

 

Our ability to tap the capital markets in the five countries where we operate, as well as the international capital markets for other sources of liquidity, may also be diminished during the crisis, or such financing may be available only at interest levels higher than those we have experienced until now, leading to an increase in interest expense and reduced cash flows.   Reduced liquidity could, in turn, affect our capital expenditures, our long-term investments and acquisitions, our growth prospects, as well as our dividend payout policy.

 

In addition, to the extent that the five countries in which we operate experience a prolonged recession, it is likely that our customers will demand less electricity than in the past, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition adversely.  Furthermore, some of our customers may experience difficulties in paying their electricity bills, and an increase in uncollectible accounts would also affect our results adversely.

 

We are subject to refinancing risk and to financial debt covenants that could affect our liquidity.

 

As of December 31, 2008, our debt in financial terms was $ 7,920 billion while, under accounting terms it totaled $ 7,419 billion.  These amounts differ since financial debt does not include accrued interests which accounting debt includes, and considers other items that accounting debt does not include such as leasings, derivatives’ spot effects and accounts payable.

 

Our financial debt had the following maturity timetable:

 

·                  $ 1,833 million in 2009;

 

·                  $ 867 million in 2010;

 

·                  $ 2,362 million in the period 2011-2013; and

 

·                  $ 2,858 million thereafter.

Table of Contents

 

Of the $ 1,833 million of financial debt maturing in 2009:

 

·                  $ 868 million is in Chile;

 

·                  $ 135 million in Argentina;

 

·                  $ 358 million in Brazil;

 

·                  $ 308 million in Colombia; and

 

·                  $ 165 million in Peru.

 

Our debt agreements are subject to certain fairly standard debt to EBITDA and debt to equity financial covenant ratios, among others.  They also contain common affirmative and negative covenants, as well as events of default, and in some cases, mandatory prepayment events.

 

A substantial portion of our indebtedness contains cross payment default provisions.  In the case of our Yankee Bond indentures, the cross payment default may be potentially triggered by a default in any amount on our other debt, or on that of any of our subsidiaries, as long as the principal on the debt giving rise to the cross payment default exceeds $ 30 million.  For our syndicated bank credit agreements under the laws of the State of New York, the materiality threshold for the principal on the debt potentially giving rise to the cross payment default increases to $ 50 million, and there is an additional clause requiring that at least $ 50 million must be in default as well.  Furthermore, the bank debt facilities do not apply to all subsidiaries, as is the case with the Yankee Bonds.  In both the Yankee indentures and the syndicated loan contracts, the cross default is not automatic; instead, a certain minimum quorum of debt holders need to formally request acceleration.  Our local Chilean bonds, denominated in UF, on the other hand, have cross default clauses with much higher materiality thresholds than the ones detailed here.  Our non Chilean risk debt facilities normally carry relatively low cross default materiality thresholds, in line with market practice in those countries.

 

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, 2008, the third-party financial debt of our Argentine subsidiaries amounted to $ 400 million.  As a matter of policy for all of our Argentine subsidiaries as long as fundamental issues concerning the electricity sector remain unresolved, we are rolling over most of our Argentine outstanding debt.  If our creditors do not continue to accept rolling over debt principal when it becomes due, we may be unable to refinance such indebtedness on terms otherwise acceptable to us.

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

 

Approximately 65% of our consolidated installed generation capacity is hydroelectric.  Accordingly, extreme hydrological conditions affect our business and may have a substantial influence over our results.

 

During periods of drought, thermal plants, such as ours 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 generators 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.

 

Our generation subsidiaries have a commercial policy in place to limit the potential impact of interruptions to our ability to supply electricity to our customers, including those caused by droughts, interruptions in gas supply and prolonged plant stoppages.  Pursuant to this policy, a level of contracts is determined for each generation company by reducing the hydrological risk to 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 and its related costs to the customers.  Notwithstanding this risk-reduction policy, a prolonged drought will adversely affect our results.

 

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 five countries in which we operate, and these regulations may adversely affect our profitability.  In addition, changes in the regulatory framework, including changes that if adopted would significantly affect our operations, are often submitted to the legislators and administrative authorities in the countries in which we operate and could have a material adverse impact on our business.  For instance, in 2005 there was a change in Water Rights Law in Chile that requires us to pay for all the unused water rights.

 

The Chilean government can impose electricity rationing during drought conditions or prolonged failures in power 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 even a severe drought does not 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 National Energy Commission, or the CNE.  The “cost of failure” is determined semiannually 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 of our contractual obligations, then we would have to compensate our regulated customers for the electricity we failed to provide at the rationed price.  If material rationing policies are imposed by regulatory authorities in Chile, our business, financial condition and results from operations may be affected adversely in a material way.

 

Similarly, if material rationing policies are imposed by any regulatory authority as a result of adverse hydrological conditions in the other 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.

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.  Such fines may range from 1 Unidad Tributaria Mensual (“UTM”), or $ 59, to 10,000 Unidades Tributarias Anuales (“UTA”), or $ 7.1 million, in each case using the UTM, UTA and foreign exchange rate as of December 31, 2008.  Any electricity company supervised by the Chilean Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels, or SEF, may be subject to these fines in cases where, in the opinion of the SEF, operational failures that affect the regular energy supply to the system are the fault of the company; for instance, when the coordination duty of the system agents is not fulfilled, even when it is not within the company’s control to prevent such failures.

 

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.

 

In 2003, the SEF imposed fines on some of our Chilean generation subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of UTA 5,330, or $ 3.8 million, because of their failure to transmit energy in 2002.

 

In 2004, the SEF imposed fines on Chilectra and Endesa Chile in the amount of UTA 1,830, or $ 1.3 million and UTA 2,030, or $ 1.4 million, respectively, due to a blackout that occurred in the Metropolitan Region in 2003.

 

In 2005, the SEF imposed fines of UTA 1,260, or $ 0.9 million, on Endesa Chile due to a blackout that occurred in the Metropolitan Region in 2003.

 

In February 17, 2009, the SEF imposed fines on Endesa Chile, Pehuenche and San Isidro for UTA 200, UTA 200 and UTA 100, respectively, or $ 0.3 million in total.  Also in 2009, the SEF fined Chilectra for UTA 700, or $ 0.5 million, due to billing management procedures challenged by our customers.

 

We are currently appealing all these fines, but these appeals may be unsuccessful.

 

We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries and affiliates to meet our payment obligations.

 

We have 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 and equity affiliates, 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 and equity affiliates 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 they operate.

 

Historically, we have been able to access the cash flows of our Chilean subsidiaries, but we have not been similarly able to access at all times the cash flows of our non-Chilean operating subsidiaries due to government regulations, strategic considerations, economic conditions and credit restrictions.

 

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 flows from operations in those entities to repay our debt.

Table of Contents

 

Dividend Limits and Other Legal Restrictions.  Some of our non-Chilean subsidiaries are subject to legal reserve requirements and other restrictions on dividend payments.  In addition, the ability of any of our subsidiaries which are not wholly owned to distribute 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 distributing cash to us.

 

Contractual Constraints.  Distribution restrictions in our subsidiaries’ contractual agreements include the following:  prohibitions against dividend distributions by many companies in the case of default, and in the case of Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A., or Pangue, one of our Chilean generation subsidiaries, if it is not in compliance with certain debt-to-equity ratio and debt coverage ratio requirements (in each case, as defined in Pangue’s credit agreements that mature in January 2010); and prohibitions against dividend distributions, capital reductions, intercompany interest payments and debt repayment by Ampla and Coelce in Brazil, and Endesa Costanera and El Chocón in Argentina, 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 Currency 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 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 of 2001, the Central Bank of Argentina imposed restrictions on the transfer of funds outside Argentina.

 

Foreign exchange risks may adversely affect our results, and the dollar value of dividends payable to ADS holders

 

The South American currencies in which we and our subsidiaries operate have been subject to large devaluations and appreciations against the dollar and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.

 

Historically, a significant portion of our consolidated indebtedness has been denominated in dollars and, although a substantial portion of our revenues are linked to 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 the local currencies devalue against the dollar.  Future volatility in the exchange rate of the currencies in which we receive revenues or incur expenditures, may affect our financial condition and results from operations.  For more information on the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, see “Item 11(a) and 11(b). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

 

As of December 31, 2008, using financial instead of accounting conventions, Enersis’ total consolidated financial debt was $ 7,920 million (net of currency hedging instruments).  Of this amount $ 3,091 million, or 39%, was denominated in dollars and $ 1,537 million in pesos.  In addition to the dollar and the peso, our foreign currency denominated consolidated indebtedness included the equivalent of:

 

·                  $ 97 million in Argentine pesos;

·                  $ 1,352 million in Brazilian reais;

·                  $ 1,420 million in Colombian pesos; and

 

21



Table of Contents

 

·                  $ 423 million in soles.

 

for an aggregate of $ 3,292 million in currencies other than dollars or pesos.

 

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, our operating revenues amounted to $ 11,566 million (before consolidation adjustments) of which:

 

·                  $ 744 million, or 6%, was denominated in dollars; and

·                  $ 2,079 million, or 18%, was linked in some way to the dollar.

 

In the aggregate, 24% of our operating revenues (before consolidation adjustments) was either in dollars or tied to dollars through some form of indexation, while 17% were in pesos.

 

Revenues, before consolidation adjustments, in other currencies for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, included the equivalent of:

 

·                  $ 1,224 million in Argentine pesos;

·                  $ 2,970 million in Brazilian reais;

·                  $ 1,904 million in Colombian pesos; and

·                  $ 621 million in soles.

 

Despite the fact that we generate revenues and incur 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 dollars while our revenues are mostly in Argentine pesos.

 

Furthermore, trading in the shares of our common stock underlying American Depositary Shares (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 bank will convert such pesos to dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate to make dividend and other distribution payments in respect of ADSs.  If the peso depreciates against the dollar, the value of the ADSs and any dollar distributions ADS holders receive from the depositary bank will decrease.

 

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

 

Factors that may adversely affect our ability to build new facilities include: delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits;  shortages or increases in the price of equipment, materials or labor; opposition by local or international political, environmental and ethnic groups; strikes; adverse changes in the political and regulatory environment in the five countries where we operate; adverse weather conditions, 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 investment program and may increase the cost of the projects.

 

We are involved in litigation proceedings.

 

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

 

22



Table of Contents

 

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 adversely affected in a material way if certain of these material claims are resolved against us.  See Note 30 of our audited consolidated financial statements.

 

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, we have material obligations as selling parties under long-term energy supply contracts with prices that vary in accordance with the market price of electricity, which, in turn, depend on water levels in reservoirs, the market prices of commodities such as natural gas, oil, coal and other energy-related products, as well as the dollar exchange rate. Changes in the market price of these commodities and in the dollar 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.  For further discussion, please refer to “Item 11(a) and 11(b) - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Commodity Price Risk”.

 

Our controlling shareholders may have conflicts of interest relating to our business.

 

Enel SpA (“Enel”) and ACCIONA, S.A. (“Acciona”) jointly hold 92.1% of Endesa, S.A. (“Endesa Spain”) which owns 60.6% of Enersis’ share capital (Enel, Acciona and Endesa Spain, collectively, the “Controllers”).  The Controllers have the power to determine the outcome of most material matters that require shareholder’ votes, such as the election of the majority of our board members and, subject to contractual and legal restrictions, the distribution of dividends.  The Controllers also can exercise influence over our operations and business strategies.  Our Controllers’ interests may in some cases differ from those of our other shareholders.  The Controllers conduct their business in South America primarily through us and also through entities not consolidated by us or in which we have no interest.

 

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.  In addition, public opposition may cause 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”.

The Argentine natural gas crisis has increased the vulnerability of electricity generation 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 impacted the short and medium-term availability of natural gas, both in Chile and in Argentina.  The low price has also induced Argentine customers to increase their demand.  A natural gas shortage has forced electricity generation companies, including ours, to use more expensive fuel oil, thus substantially increasing production costs.  Energy demand in Chile’s central region decreased by 0.9% in 2008 but it is expected to increase in the long term.  Increasing demand, combined with a low level of mid-term investment in the electricity sector, particularly exposes the Chilean electricity sector to the adverse effects of the Argentine natural gas crisis.  Since 2004, Chile has been affected by increasing restrictions in the supply of natural gas from Argentina despite the existence of long-term contracts.

 

Our combined cycle plant, San Isidro, and both units in Tal-Tal operate with natural gas and diesel oil.  Our related company, GasAtacama S.A. (“GasAtacama”), also operates with natural gas and diesel oil.  Each company has gas contracts with Argentine suppliers and has been affected adversely by restrictions of natural gas from Argentina.  The materiality of the impact in the future will depend on the level of natural gas restrictions, the contractual commitments of each company and the availability of alternative sources such as LNG.  Currently a 9.6 million m3/d (2.5 mtpa) LNG regasification terminal is being developed in Chile and is expected by its promoters to start operations during the second half of 2009; however, no assurances can be given as to when the LNG plant will come on line, the level of its actual production, or whether it will have a material positive effect our operating costs.  One of the promoters of this project is Endesa Chile.  For additional information, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company —  History and Development of the Company — Investments, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures.”

 

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

 

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.  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.

 

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

 

Approximately 32% of our consolidated debt outstanding obligations have “change of control” contractual provisions.  As of December 31, 2008, $ 1,397 million of Enersis’ consolidated indebtedness (excluding Endesa Chile on a consolidated basis) and  $ 1,145 million of Endesa Chile’s consolidated indebtedness featured some kind of “change of control” provision either in the form of a negative covenant, a mandatory prepayment or otherwise.  However, in contracts of Enersis’ subsidiaries, totaling $ 174 million in debt, certain previous conditions must be met, typically a merger or spin-off, that would then result in a change of control before triggering a change of control provision.  Similarly, $ 378 million in Endesa Chile’s subsidiaries’ contracts either (a) require a preliminary merger or spin-off prior to triggering such change of control provision or (b) the change of control does not apply to Endesa Spain but to other companies instead.

 

A total of $ 183 million in Enersis’ and its consolidated subsidiaries’ indebtedness, other than Endesa Chile, and a total of  $ 766 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

 

24



Table of Contents

 

of control were to occur, and  we are not successful in obtaining certain waivers or amendments, then the lenders under these facilities would have the ability to accelerate such debt and make it immediately due and payable.

 

As of December 31, 2008, $ 650 million of Endesa Chile debt and $ 150 million of Enersis debt are to be found in revolving and term credit facilities governed by laws of the State of New York.  Lenders under such facilities, on an individual basis, have rights to accelerate payment if Endesa Spain is no longer, directly or indirectly, in the chain of control, provided that the new controlling entity does not satisfy certain minimum risk rating standards, which vary among the different debt facilities.  Enersis’ subsidiaries in Brazil have credit facilities for an aggregate of $ 1,228 million with some kind of “change of control” language, some of them involving standard Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) clauses.  BNDES is a state-owned development bank.

 

If a tender offer for Endesa Spain were to occur, and if another change of control were to take place, we would not be able to 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 more detailed information on Enersis and Endesa Chile contractual provisions, see “Item 5.  Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 

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

 

All of our assets are located outside of the United States.  All of our directors and officers reside outside of 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.

 

New shares issuances may not have the rights granted by former Chapter XXVI

 

The Chilean Central Bank Decision 1333-01-070510 adopted on May 10, 2007 extended the effects of the former Chapter XXVI to capital increases approved after April 18, 2001.  Under the former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contracts, the Chilean Central Bank agreed to grant access to the formal exchange market to convert pesos into dollars (See “Item 10. Additional Information. D — Exchange Rate Controls” for further detail).

 

Enersis formally requested to the Central Bank for permission to enter into a new Foreign Investment Contract to include its capital increase approved by Enersis’ shareholders’ meeting held on March 31, 2003, which was granted by the Central Bank on September 7, 2007, subject to the execution and delivery of a new Foreign Investment Contract, dated September 24, 2008. Nevertheless, the Central Bank’s approval, aimed at extending the effects of the former Chapter XXVI to the last capital increase of Enersis, is subject to the condition that Enersis previously inform the Central Bank with respect to the measures adopted in the issuance of new shares of a future capital increase in order to sufficiently differentiate new shares from the shares issued previously, under the former Chapter XXVI, so that the shareholders would have the necessary information to learn about such difference.  If Enersis does not comply with this condition, the Central Bank could revoke its approval and the benefits granted to the shares issued in the last capital increase of Enersis by the former

Chapter XXVI. Furthermore, it is not certain, 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 will not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.

We are an electric utility company primarily engaged, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

 

We are one of the largest private sector companies in the electricity sector in South America.

 

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. (“Gener”), and two distribution companies, one with a concession in the Fifth Region, 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.AIn 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, an

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.

 

In 2005, Endesa Brasil was formed as a company to manage all generation, transmission and distribution assets that Endesa Latinoamérica (formerly known as Endesa Internacional), Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra held in Brazil, namely, through Ampla, Endesa Fortaleza, Investluz, CIEN, Cachoeira Dourada and Coelce.  Enersis began consolidating Endesa Brasil in October 2005.  In 2006, the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) became a new shareholder in Endesa Brasil, contributing $ 50 million or 2.7% of share of capital of Endesa Brasil.  As of December 31, 2008, Enersis directly and indirectly controlled 53.6% of Endesa Brasil’s share capital.

 

In order to optimize taxes, simplify the organizational structure and diminish corporate costs, on April 2006, Enersis decided to merge Elesur and Chilectra in Chile.  As a consequence of this merger, Elesur absorbed Chilectra; the surviving company retained the name of Chilectra.

 

In order to achieve synergies in Peru, in 2006, we conducted the merger of Edegel and Etevensa (60% owned by Endesa Spain), which had a 457 MW thermoelectric generation company.

 

In September 2007, we merged our subsidiaries in Colombia, Emgesa and Betania, resulting in a new company which retained the name Emgesa.  Following the merger, as of December 31, 2008, Enersis controlled 16.1% of Emgesa’s share capital.

 

As of December 31, 2008 we had 13,893 MW of installed capacity with 53 power plants in the five countries in which we operate, 12.4 million distribution customers representing 45 million persons, consolidated assets of $ 22.6 billion and our operating revenues were $ 10.4 billion.

 

Recent Developments

 

Since October 10, 2007, the Italian energy company, Enel, and the Spanish construction company, Acciona, jointly hold 92.1% of the share capital of Endesa Spain, which in turns owns 60.6% interest in Enersis.

 

On February 20, 2009, Acciona and Enel, announced that they had reached an agreement pursuant to which Acciona, directly and indirectly, will transfer to Enel Energy Europe Srl, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enel, a 25.0% equity interest in Endesa Spain.  The transfer is subject to approval by relevant authorities and various other conditions.  Assuming the conditions are satisfied, Enel Energy Europe Srl will hold a 92.1% equity interest in Endesa Spain.

 

Under the agreement, Enel committed to pay Acciona € 11,107 million for the equity interest.  Additionally, Endesa Spain agreed to transfer to Acciona wind and hydroelectric energy assets located in Spain and Portugal valued at € 2,890 million.  The transfer of shares and assets is expected to be completed by the end of August, 2009.  The agreement between Enel and Acciona was filed with the Spanish CNMV (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) as an “essential fact” on February 20, 2009, and may be found on the CNMV web site (www.cnmv.es).

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 plan capital expenditure financed by internally generated funds or direct financings.  One of our goals is to focus on investments that will provide long-term benefits, 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. Although we have considered how these investments will be financed as part of the Company’s budget process, we have not committed to any particular financial structure, and investments will depend on the market conditions at the time the cash flows are needed.

 

For the period between 2009 and 2013, we expect to make capital expenditures of Ch$ 3,365 billion (or $ 5.3 billion) in our majority-owned subsidiaries.  The table below sets forth the capital expenditures made by our subsidiaries between 2006 and 2008 and the expected capital expenditures for the period 2009-2013.

Investments in Chile

 

As part of its strategy for ensuring reliable and diversified energy sources, Endesa Chile is actively taking part in the Chilean government-promoted initiative to diversify the energy matrix through GNL Quintero S.A., or “GNLQ”, with a 20% holding in the ownership of the re-gasification terminal, together with Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (“ENAP”), Metrogas and British Gas as gas supplier.  Its estimated investment cost is approximately $ 1.1 billion and commercial operations are scheduled to start by mid 2009.

 

In mid January 2008, two months ahead of schedule, the San Isidro II plant completed the construction of the combined cycle and achieved a total capacity of 353 MW.  Taking into account both the open and combined cycle stages, the project required a total investment of $ 233 million.  Once liquefied natural gas (LNG) is available in Chile, the plant will reach its full capacity of 377 MW by mid 2009.  The early start-up of this plant helped provide support for the complex energy supply situation experienced in Chile in early 2008 as a result of the Argentine natural gas crisis.

Endesa Chile began the operation of unit 1 of the Tal-Tal plant, with an additional installed capacity of 120 MW operating with diesel, obtained from a unit that was originally designed to operate with Argentine natural gas.

 

On June 27, 2008, Endesa Eco, a subsidiary of Endesa Chile, started operating its Ojos de Agua pass through hydroelectric plant, located close to the Cipreses power station, downstream from La Invernada reservoir.  The investment cost of this 9 MW plant was $ 28 million.

 

Reinforcing Endesa Chile’s commitment to sustainability and non-conventional renewable energy (“NCRE”) development initiatives, following the commercial start-up in December 2007 of the Canela 18 MW wind farm, our subsidiary, Endesa Eco, acquired adjoining land and entered into a supply agreement with ACCIONA Windpower for 40 wind-generators that will produce an additional 60 MW with an estimated investment of $ 150 million.  The environmental impact declaration (“EID”) received favorable qualification resolution from Corema, the regional environmental authority.  We expect the wind farm should start operations in the last quarter of 2009.

 

Construction works have continued on the Bocamina II coal-fired plant in the town of Coronel in Chile’s Eighth Region.  With a capacity of 370 MW, this plant will have the latest technologies for reducing emissions and is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2010.  The estimated investment is $ 700 million.

 

On April 16, 2008, the Maule regional environmental authority approved the environmental impact assessment of the Los Cóndores pass through hydroelectric project, with a capacity of approximately 150 MW and an average annual generation of 560 GWh.  This plant will use the waters of the Maule reservoir and will be located to the east of Cipreses and Isla power stations, in San Clemente, Talca.  The estimated investment is approximately $ 400 million and its start up is planned for the first quarter of 2013.  Construction work began in the first quarter of 2009.

 

Investments in Argentina

 

In Argentina, Endesa Chile has been taking part since 2005 in the Argentine fund created to increase electricity supply, or “Foninvemem”, in the wholesale electricity market in Argentina or “MEM”, that is building two thermal plants of 800 MW each.  Endesa Chile will hold a 21% equity interest through Endesa Costanera and El Chocón.  At the end of 2008, 1,125 MW were operating in open cycle.  The project is expected to start operations in combined cycle during 2009.

 

Investments in Colombia

 

The Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy selected the assignment of El Quimbo hydroelectric project to Emgesa.  With an estimated investment of over $ 650 million, El Quimbo project will have an installed capacity of 400 MW and will be built in Huila on the river Magdalena, upstream from the Betania plant, and should start operations by December 2014.

 

Investments in Peru

 

In Peru, a turnkey contract was signed in January 2008 with Siemens Power Generation for the installation of a 188 MW turbine at the Santa Rosa plant, which will operate with gas from Camisea.  The project will require an investment of approximately $ 90 million and is planned to come into service by the end of 2009The project will increase Edegel’s installed capacity from 1,467 MW to 1,654 MW.

In Chile, Chilectra allocated a considerable portion of investments to projects related to quality service, environment, safety, and information and remote control systems.  Significant progress has been made with the Intelligent Network plan which aims to integrate electric power infrastructure with new technology.

 

In terms of quality service and ISO Certification, Chilectra engaged in developing several projects in the area of environmental care and public health.  It also planted trees and green areas at several substations.  Equipment was purchased to measure the potential radio interference developed by the high and medium-tension lines.  Noise measurements were carried out as a cautionary measure and to comply with current legislation.  Three oil collection centers were built at the El Manzano substation in order to mitigate pollution in the event of a spill.

 

The SDAC project (Load Release System), aimed to keep potential failures on Chilectra’s sub-transmission system from spreading to the Central Interconnected System (SIC), was completed in 2008.  The capacity of the sub-transmission lines was increased and the supply safety improved along several sections.  In addition numerous projects were carried out on the power transformers in order to meet growing demand.  New feeders were built at several substations on the medium-tension networks.  Furthermore, new 50 Million Volt-Amperes (MVA) units were added to the 110/23 KV system as part of the project to change the tension level.

 

In Argentina, Edesur sought to maintain quality service and protect public safety.  To this end, the following projects were undertaken:

 

The capacity of the Héroes de Malvinas substation was increased from 36 MVA to 80 MVA and the substation was modernized.  A new substation, called Glew, with 80 MVA of installed capacity—one of our most important investments in 2008.  The installed capacity of the Monte Chingolo substation was increased from 80 MVA to 160 MVA to satisfy increasing demand for electricity in the south of Buenos Aires.  New high- and medium-tension switches were installed at substations to maintain the network’s operational safety.  Medium- and low-tension networks were expanded and renovated.

Edesur kept its certification from Instituto Argentino de Normalización y Certificación, the Argentine Certification Institute, or IRAM,  for its “General Contingency Plan” and the “Public Safety Management System.”  The audit did not reveal any “non compliance.” The “Plans” module was launched, allowing for scheduling maintenance strategies for low- and medium-tension activities and thereby improving data quality.

 

Edesur also launched a project called “PTE_Map” which is a web application with geo-referenced representations of the high-, medium- and low-tension networks.  It provides a real-time geographical view of the service problems and streamlines the analysis of complaints received through the Emergency Service System (SAE).

 

In Brazil, Ampla invested in the improvement of its distribution network and obtained an 8.7% rating in 2008 (up from 5.5% in 2007) in terms of quality of energy supply.  The Equivalent Duration of Interruptions per Consumption Unit (DEC) in 2008 was 13.21 hours, compared to 14.47 hours in 2007.  The Equivalent Frequency of Interruptions per Consumption Unit (FEC) in 2008 was 10.06 compared to 10.64 in 2007.

 

Since 2003, the DEC and FEC indicators had improved significantly by 40.6% and 41.3%, respectively.  As a consequence of investments aimed to improve the quality of its services.  As a result, the level of customer satisfaction recorded by the Satisfaction of Perceived Quality Index (ISQP) reported by Abradee (the Brazilian Association of Electric Power Distributors) increased by 21% since 2003 to 72.5% in 2008.

 

Coelce, another Brazilian subsidiary of Enersis, connected approximately 148,000 new customers to the low-tension electric power network.  To make ongoing improvements to the quality of its service and the reliability of the system, the company made several investments in its low-, medium- and high-tension networks in order to reinforce expansion of the electric power system.  In 2008, the company pursued the Light for All project with the federal and state government under which the parties seek to provide service and energy to customers in rural areas.  This project is financed in part by the federal and state governments.

 

In Colombia, our subsidiary Codensa made several investments to improve the reliability of distribution systems in Bogotá, Cundinamarca and the National Interconnected System. It provides service to the areas with increased demand for electricity and  improves the  quality of service.  A total of 1,145 projects were carried out for new customers in order to meet the energy demand of 44,949 industrial, commercial, and residential customers with an aggregated annual consumption estimated at 95.5 GWh.  Some of the projects include services to large customers such as the connection of 115 kV to the steel company Diaco, shopping centers, industrial parks and large residential areas.

 

In 2008, Codensa:

 

·                  completed the expansion of four substations with 141 MVA in installed capacity;

 

·                  replaced two 30 MVA transformers with 40 MVA transformers, thereby increasing their capacity by 20 MVA;

 

·                  modernized one of its substations by installing geographical information system (“GIS”) technology to increase reliability and meet the growing demand in the central part of Bogotá;

 

·                  completed 75% of a total project aimed to modernize a substation in the institutional and governmental sector;

·                  modernized 88 kilometers of network and installed protective equipment, primarily along the circuits located in the southern sector of Bogotá under the standardization and quality improvement project for the medium-tension network;

 

·                  continued expansion of public lighting in the capital district and installed 4,832 light poles.  Additional 1,274 light poles were installed in other municipalities;

 

·                  launched a project to enhance the brown sugarloaf production process and to modernize dairy production process, resulting in the identification of 30 new possible projects in order to promote the socioeconomic development of the rural population;

 

·                  improved the precision and timing of the execution of technical customer service operations and commercial operations for reading meters, distribution, and other commercial processes the first phase in the Rural Operations Optimization System, which considers purchasing 100 GPS for establishing georeference positions of its rural customers; and

 

·                  replaced 1,147 distribution transformers in rural areas and 706 transformers in urban sectors.

 

In Peru, our subsidiary Edelnor invested primarily in expanding and reinforcing its medium- and low-tension  networks.  It also increased its medium- and low-tension feeders to satisfy demand for electricity that increased by 7.8% compared to 2007.

 

The company also completed and commissioned the Chillón substation, its most important project undertaken in Lima in the last 30 years.  Edelnor modernized and expanded electric power system to meet growing demand in the areas north of Lima.  Edelnor also invested in expanding the electricity networks to areas not connected, allowing more than 15,000 families to gain access to electricity.

 

Capacity expansion on the Chavarría, Infantas and Mirones substations reduced the traffic and overloading of the transformers.

Generation and Distribution Strategies

 

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. We seek to take advantage of our know-how and market position as a leading private sector electricity company in the region to:

 

·                  enhance earnings through expansion of our unregulated client base;

 

·                  reduce our exposure to hydrological risk with commercial policies that determine a volume of contracts for each generation company by reducing the hydrological risk to a degree of statistical reliability of 95%; and

 

·                  improve our operating margins by reducing operating costs of our existing businesses.

 

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

 

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

 

·                  building and operating efficient generation facilities;

 

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

 

·                  increasing workforce productivity while maintaining good labor relations; and

 

·                  implementing proprietary billing and accounts receivable management systems.

(1)        For details on generation facilities, see “ —D. Property Plants and Equipment.”

(2)        Total installed capacity is defined as the maximum MW capacity of generation units, under specific technical conditions and characteristics, in most cases confirmed by satisfaction guarantee tests performed by equipment suppliers certified by Bureau Veritas, an international independent certification company.  Figures may differ from installed capacity declared to regulating authorities and customers in each country, according to criteria defined by each authority and corresponding contractual frameworks. We have decided not to make a restatement of capacities based on this certification.

(3)        Energy generated defined as total generation minus own power plant consumption and technical losses.

 

In the electricity industry, it is common to segment the business into hydroelectric and thermoelectric generation, because each method of generation has different variable costs.  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, 65% was from hydroelectric sources while the remaining 35% came from thermal sources, wind energy represented less than 1%.

Generation in Chile

 

We accounted for 38% of Chile’s physical sales, 35% of generation and  36% of total installed capacity, as of December 31, 2008, measured by the maximum capacity calculated by the SIC’s CDEC. CDEC is the electricity dispatch center in the corresponding electric system (See “Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework — Chile- Industry Structure”).  Our hydroelectric installed capacity represents 70% of our total installed capacity in Chile.

 

We own and operate, through our subsidiary, Endesa Chile, 26 generation facilities in Chile with an aggregate installed capacity of 4,893 MW as of December 31, 2008, compared to 4,779 MW in 2007.  The increase in our total installed capacity in Chile is due to additional 105 MW generated at San Isidro II.  The first stage of this project had started operations in April 2007, in open cycle using diesel and the second stage started operations in January 2008, in combined cycle. The increase is also due to the incorporation of Ojos de Agua (9 MW, mini-hydro) in June 27, 2008.

Our thermal electric generation facilities are either gas, coal or oil-fired.  In order to satisfy our natural gas and transportation requirements, we enter into long-term gas contracts with suppliers that establish maximum supply amounts and prices and long-term gas transportation agreements with the pipeline companies, currently Gas Andes and Electrogas (the latter a related company of Endesa Chile).  Since March 2008, all natural gas units of Endesa Chile can operate with natural gas and diesel.  We obtain our coal and fuel oil requirements through competitive auctions with major domestic and international suppliers.

 

Since 2006, Endesa Chile increased the use of diesel from 23,000 tons in 2006 to 591,000 tons in 2007 and to 728,000 tons in 2008.  The use of coal increased from 438,000 tons in 2006 to 851,000 tons in 2007 and to

774,000 tons in 2008.  In 2005, 2006 and 2007, San Isidro entered into swap contracts with Endesa Costanera, which allowed San Isidro to temporarily generate electricity with natural gas, using Endesa Costanera’s share, by paying Endesa Costanera the additional cost incurred through generation with fuel oil, plus a fee.

 

In May 2007, as part of a consortium with ENAP, Metrogas and British Gas, in which Endesa Chile’s participation is 20%, we agreed to build a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) regasification facility in Quintero Bay.  Partial commercial operations of the plant are expected to begin by July 2009 while full commercial operations should occur in April 2010.

 

In July 2008, we started construction of a pipeline that will supply the gas obtained at the regasification plant in Quintero to Quillota and further to San Isidro and other off takers.  The pipeline is 28 kilometer long and has a capacity of 19 million of cubic meters per day. It was finished in February 2009 and commercial operations are expected to start on July 2009.

Our physical energy sales in Chile reached 20,923 GWh in 2006, 19,212 GWh in 2007 and 19,808 GWh in 2008 which represent a 41.6%, 36.5% and 37.5% market share, respectively.  The percentage of the energy purchases to satisfy our contractual obligations to third parties has declined from 6.2% in 2006 to 2.0% in 2008 as a result of our commercial strategy to reduce contracted sales.  This commercial strategy is primarily influenced by our decision to reduce hydrological exposure because of current regulations (See “— B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry and Regulatory Framework”).

 

We attempt to minimize the effect of poor hydrological conditions on our operations, in any given year, primarily by limiting contractual commitments to an amount below the estimated production in a dry year.  Governmental regulations have had the direct effect of increasing failure costs, which is the cost that we have to pay when we are unable to satisfy our contractual commitments and the indirect effect of discouraging investment in generation assets.  Given the effect of the government regulations, energy supply has not increased as much as energy demand, which has the effect of 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 pool market.  Commercial relationships with customers are usually governed by contracts.  Supply contracts with distribution companies must be auctioned in bidding processes, 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 the conditions are agreed upon between both parties and reflect competitive market conditions.

 

In 2006, 2007 and 2008, Endesa Chile had forty-six, thirty-five and thirty-three customers with contracts, respectively, including seven main distribution companies in the SIC and twenty-six unregulated industrial customers during 2008.  There were nineteen distribution companies without contracts which presented energy withdrawals, under the provisions of Resolution 88, accounting for 14.0% of total sales.  (See “ — B. Business Overview—Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework”).  Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A., or Saesa, a non-related Chilean distribution company, was the largest withdrawal representing purchases of 766 GWh per year.

Endesa Chile’s most significant supply contracts with regulated customers are with our subsidiary Chilectra S.A. (“Chilectra”), and Compañía General de Electricidad S.A. (“CGE”), the two largest distribution companies in Chile in terms of sales.  Its current contracts with Chilectra and CGE expire in December 2010 and December 2009, respectively.

 

In March 2008, Chilectra and other distributors allocated the third long-term energy bid for 1,800 GWh for the period 2011-2021 and 1,500 GWh for the period 2022-2023, in both cases to Gener. In January 2009,  Chilquinta, Saesa and CGE were allocated 8,010 GWh, divided in four blocks (BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4) to be delivered from January 2010 for fourteen, twelve, fourteen and fifteen years respectively.  The energy allocated was 7,110 GWh and represented 88.7% of the bidders’ demand.  The energy allocation per company and per block was as follows:

Endesa Chile’s contracts with unregulated customers are generally long term and typically range from five to fifteen years.  Such contracts are usually automatically extended at the end of the applicable term unless terminated by either party upon prior notice.  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 regarding power sources and equipment, which may be provided at special rates, as well as provisions for technical assistance to the customer.  Endesa Chile has not experienced any supply interruptions under its contracts.  In case of force majeure, as contractually defined with non-regulated customers, Endesa Chile is also allowed to reject purchases and is required to supply electricity.  Disputes are typically subject to binding arbitration between the parties, subject to limited exceptions.

(1)          We do not have a contract with Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A. (“Saesa”).  Sales are the result of government Resolution 88 that forces the generators of the CDEC-SIC system to supply distribution companies without contracts.  This situation will remain until December 2009, when this Resolution is set to expire.

(2)          Until December 2007, Empresa Eléctrica de la Frontera S.A., Frontel, was a party to two contracts, one with Endesa Chile and one with Pangue.  In 2008 the contract with Endesa Chile expired.

(3)          In 2008 we agreed on a reduction of energy consumption with some costumers, including CMPC and Codelco.

 

Endesa Chile competes in the SIC primarily with two generation companies, Gener and Colbún S.A. (“Colbún”).  According to the maximum power considered by CDEC-SIC in the calculation of firm power in 2008, Gener and its subsidiaries in the SIC counted on an installed capacity of 1,587 MW, of which 82% was thermal, and Colbún on 2,018 MW, of which 59% was thermal.  In addition to these two large competitors, there are a number of smaller entities that generate electricity in the SIC.

 

Endesa Chile’s primary competitors in the SING are Electroandina, Empresa Eléctrica del Norte Grande S.A. and Gener, which have 1,000 MW, 693 MW and 643 MW of installed capacity, respectively.  Endesa Chile’s direct participation in the SING, includes a 182 MW Tarapacá thermal plant, owned by its subsidiary Celta and our indirect participation through our affiliate company, GasAtacama, whose power plant has 781 MW of installed capacity (See “— 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, because 73.5% of our installed capacity in the SIC derives from hydroelectric power plants, we have lower production costs than companies generating electricity with 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.

 

We have equity investments in GasAtacama and Electrogas.  GasAtacama 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.  Electrogas produces transportation income derived from the pipeline supplying San Isidro and Nehuenco combined-cycle plants at Quillota.

We, directly and through our subsidiaries Pehuenche, Pangue, San Isidro and Endesa Eco, are the principal operators in the SIC, with 48.0% of the total installed capacity and 47.3% of the physical energy sales of this system in 2008.

 

Celta, our subsidiary, has a two-turbine 182 MW thermal power plant connected to the SING, which represents 5% of the total capacity of the SING.  Through our affiliated company, GasAtacama, we have an additional 781 MW participation in the SING.  The following table sets out information relating to Endesa Chile’s electricity generation capacity in Chile:

Generation in Argentina

 

We participate in electricity generation in Argentina through our subsidiaries Endesa Costanera and El Chocón, with a total of five power plants.  El Chocón owns two hydroelectric power plants, with total installed capacity of 1,328 MW and Endesa Costanera owns three thermal plants, with a total installed capacity of 2,324 MW.  In 2008, our hydro and thermal generation plants in Argentina represented 13.9% of the MEM’s generation capacity in 2008.

 

Our Argentine subsidiaries participate in two new companies, Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A. (“Manuel Belgrano”) and Termoeléctrica José de San Martin S.A. (“San Martín”).  These companies were formed to undertake the construction of two new generation facilities under Foninvemem.  This fund was created by the Secretary of Energy to allow the financing and management of all investment aimed at increasing the electric power supply within the MEM.  These power plants started up operations using gas turbines in 2008, with 1,125 MW of aggregate capacity, and operation as combined cycles is expected to be launched by the second half of 2009, with and additional 600 MW of total aggregate capacity.  Since 2002, government intervention and energy industry authority actions, including limiting the spot price of electricity by considering the variable cost of generating electricity with natural gas without the hydrological conditions of rivers and reservoirs or the use of more expensive liquid oil, have led to the lack of investment in the electric power sector.  (See “— Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework” and “ — A. History and Development of the Company” for further detail).

 

As of December 31, 2008, Endesa Costanera’s installed capacity accounted for 8.9% of the total installed capacity in the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the “Argentine MEM”).  Endesa Costanera’s second combined cycle plant can operate with natural gas and diesel.  Our 1,138 MW steam turbine power plant can operate with either natural gas or fuel oil.

 

El Chocón accounted for 5.1% of the installed capacity in the Argentine MEM as of December 31, 2008.  El Chocón has a 30-year concession, ending in 2023, for two hydroelectric generation facilities with an aggregate of 1,328 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 MEM’s major peak suppliers. Variations in El Chocón’s water discharge are moderated by El Chocón’s Arroyito facility, a downstream dam with 128 MW of installed capacity.  In November 2008 we finished construction works for the Arroyito dam increasing the reservoir water level, and allowing us to release 3,750 cubic meters of water per second, 1,150 cubic meters of water per second more than before.  The additional energy (69 GWh per year) will be sold on the spot market until April 2009 and on the “Energy Plus” market thereafter.  For more information about the Energy Plus Service please see “Item 4.  A - Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework - Argentina - Incentive Programs”.

Sales to the pool market increased from 7,427 GWh in 2007 to 7,511 GWh in 2008.

 

The Argentine energy crisis, which began in 2004, continues as of the date of this Report, but the effects of the restrictions on export of gas abroad were reduced during 2008. In accordance with the open season regulations, in 2008 the Argentine government expanded capacity of gas transportation by 3.7 million cubic meters per day.  In June 2008, LNG ships injected incremental capacity of 8 million cubic meters per day.  On average, the new injections into the system amounted to 4.2 million cubic meters per day.

 

During 2008, Endesa Costanera, through its subsidiary Cemsa, negotiated with a number of gas producers which allowed Endesa Costanera to diversify and increase the availability of gas supply to Endesa Costanera’s units and to trade with other generators.

Generation in Colombia

 

Until August 2007, we controlled two electricity generation companies in Colombia, Betania and Emgesa.  Thereafter they were merged into Betania, which then changed its name to Emgesa S.A. E.S.P. (“Emgesa”).  As of December 31, 2008, we had a 16.1% economic interest in Emgesa, which we control pursuant a shareholders’ agreement.

 

As of December 31, 2008, our Colombian subsidiary operated eleven generation plants in Colombia, with a total installed capacity of 2,895 MW.  Emgesa has 2,451 MW in hydroelectric plants and 444 MW in thermoelectric plants. In April 2008, Emgesa launched commercial operations of the second unit of Cartagena

that has an installed capacity of 66 MW.  The unit has been out of service since 2006 for maintenance works.

 

Our hydroelectric and thermal generation plants in Colombia represent 21.4% of the country’s total electricity generation capacity as of December 2008.

(3)          As of December 31, 2008, Emgesa owned and operated five minor plants: Charquito, Limonar, La Tinta, Tequendama and La Junca.

 

Approximately 84.7% of our installed capacity in Colombia is hydroelectric.  As a result, our physical generation depends on the reservoir levels and rainfalls.  Our generation market share in Colombia was 24% in 2006, 22% in 2007 and 24% in 2008.  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 dispatched by a centralized operating entity.

Table of Contents

 

Hydrological conditions in 2008 translated into higher generation for Emgesa when compared to 2007.  The main increases were in Cadena Nueva and in Betania, two pass through units.  During 2008, thermal generation represented 3.9% of total generation and hydroelectric generation the remaining 96.1% of our generation in Colombia.  However, the two thermal facilities, Termozipa and Cartagena represent 15.3% of our total installed capacity in Colombia.  The variable cost of generation for those plants was higher than the average spot market price, given the level of supply and demand of electricity during the year.

The sole interconnected electricity system in Colombia is the Colombian National Interconnected System the “Colombian NIS”.  Electricity demand in the Colombian NIS increased 1.9% during 2008.  The total electricity consumption was 50,813 GWh in 2006, 52,851 GWh in 2007 and 53,870 GWh in 2008.

 

The demand in Colombia’s electricity market has been affected by the agreement on International Transactions of Energy governing the interconnection with Ecuador’s electric system, which began operations in 2003.  During 2008, physical sales to Ecuador reached 510 GWh, 58% less than the 877 GWh reached in 2007.

Hydrological generation represented 51.7% of Edegel’s total production in 2008.  The portion of electricity supplied by Edegel’s own generation was 93.9% of total physical sales, requiring only a small amount of purchases to satisfy contractual obligations to customers.

 

For the gas supply for Ventanilla and Santa Rosa, Edegel has supply, transportation and distribution contracts.  During 2007, the gas pipeline Camisea-Lima, owned by Transportadora de Gas del Perú, or TGP, reached its full capacity.  However, since May 2008, TGP started restrictions on the gas transferred through the pipeline.  In order to guarantee the transportation capacity for its natural gas demand, Edegel modified its agreements in the Open Season during 2007 and 2008, shifting from interruptible to firm mode, with a capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters daily (from August 2008 to July 2009) and 2.7 million cubic meters daily (from August 2009 to July 2019).

(2) Figures for 2006 include Ventanilla’s sales since January 2006.

 

Edegel’s physical sales in 2008 increased 5.8% compared to sales in 2007.  Sales in the spot market decreased 44% and contracted sales increased 9%.  The increase in contracted sales is primarily due to the increase in Ventanilla’s generation which is sold to ElectroPerú, and the increase in sales to distributors for the bids realized during 2006 and 2007.  During 2008, Edegel had seven regulated customers.  Edegel has had contracts since 1997 with Luz del Sur and Edelnor, our distribution company in Peru.  Edegel also won the bids launched by other distributors during 2006 and 2007.  The company has twelve non-regulated customers.  Sales to non-regulated customers represented 56.5% of Edegel’s total contracted sales in 2008, compared to 56.0% in 2007.

Our most important competitors in Peru are ElectroPerú, Enersur and Egenor, whose capacity is approximately 908 MW, 836 MW and 507 MW, respectively.

 

Electricity Transmission Business Segment

 

CIEN

 

CIEN is wholly-owned by Endesa Brasil, and we hold a 53.6% economic interest in CIEN. CIEN consolidates CTM and TESA, which operate the Argentine side of the interconnection line with Brazil. CIEN  represented 1.3% of our 2008 operating revenues and 3.1% of our operating income, both before consolidation adjustments.

 

CIEN permits the energy integration of Mercosur and the import and export of electricity between Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.  It has two transmission lines covering a distance of about 500 kilometers between Rincón in Argentina and the Santa Catarina substation in Brazil, and a total installed capacity of 2,100 MW.

 

During 2008, CIEN received toll payments from Argentina for using the transmission lines from May through November and we expect a similar payment in 2009.

 

Electricity Distribution Business Segment

 

Electricity distribution revenues represent 57% of our 2008 operating revenues and 44% of our operating income, both before consolidation adjustments.  Our consolidated physical sales were 62,806 GWh in 2008, a 1.9% higher compared to 61,610 GWh in 2007.  Our customer base increased by 4% to 12.4 million clients.

 

Our electricity distribution business has been conducted in Chile through Chilectra, in Argentina through Edesur, in Brazil through Ampla and Coelce, in Colombia through Codensa and in Peru through Edelnor.  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.

 

In the electricity distribution business, each of our subsidiaries is a natural monopoly in its concession area.  There are natural, although not legal, barriers to entry, since it is not economically efficient for more than one distribution company to operate in the same concession area.  However, the long-term trend in many of our markets has been toward increased competition of trading companies competing 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.  As of the date of this Report, Colombia is the only country with a trading market.  If trading companies will be allowed in other countries through regulatory changes, we expect to compete effectively with our own trading companies.

 

Distribution in Chile: Chilectra

 

Chilectra is the largest electricity distribution company in Chile as measured by the number of regulated clients, distribution assets and energy sales.  Chilectra had consolidated operating income of Ch$ 171 billion for

 

55



Table of Contents

 

the year ended December 31, 2008.  Our economic interest in Chilectra is 99.1%.  Chilectra operates in a concession area of 2,118 square kilometers.

 

Chilectra transmits and distributes electricity in 33 municipalities of the Santiago metropolitan area.  Chilectra’s service area is defined primarily as a high density area under the Chilean tariff regulations governing electricity distribution companies and includes all residential, commercial, industrial, governmental and toll customers.  The Santiago metropolitan area is Chile’s most densely populated area and has the highest concentration of industries, industrial parks and office facilities in the country.  As of December 31, 2008, Chilectra served more than 1.5 million customers.

 

Chilectra currently owns a 34.0% interest in Edesur and, as its operator through 2008, received management fees pursuant an operation agreement between Chilectra and the stockholders of Edesur.  In November 2004, the agreement was amended to change the calculation of Chilectra’s management fees. However, in 2008, Chilectra’s agreement with Edesur expired and no management fees are received since then.  As of December 31, 2008, Chilectra had a 9% interest in Endesa Brasil.  Chilectra holds a 35.6% direct and indirect interest in Ampla and a 10.8% interest in Coelce through Investluz and Endesa Brasil.  Ampla and Coelce are described below.  Chilectra also owns a 9.9% interest in Codensa in Colombia and a 15.6% interest in Edelnor in Peru.  There are no operator fees associated with Chilectra’s involvement in these companies.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers, who are primarily public and municipal, represented 26.6%, 25.6%, 24.8% and 23.0%, respectively, of Chilectra’s total energy sales of 12,535 GWh.  For the five-year period ended December 31, 2008, physical energy sales increased at a compounded annual rate of 3.2%. For the year ended December 31, 2008, revenues from electricity sales were Ch$ 997.4 billion.

 

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 similarly sized electricity distribution companies to improve operating efficiency, reduce distribution energy losses and increase operating margins.

 

Distribution and transmission companies are required to allow any interested party to access 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 any customers in our concession area that have installed their own lines from a generation company as of the date of this Report.  There is currently no significant self-generation or co-generation within Chilectra’s concession area.

Distribution in Argentina: Edesur

 

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

 

Edesur is the second largest electricity distribution company in Argentina as measured by energy purchases.  Our economic interest in Edesur is 65.4%.  Edesur operates in a concession area of 3,309 square kilometers.

 

Edesur distributes electricity in the major business district and several residential areas of the southern part of Buenos Aires.  As of December 31, 2008, Edesur distributed electricity to 2.2 million customers.  Residential, commercial, industrial and other customers, primarily public and municipal, represented 40.2%, 32.7%, 20.1% and 7.0%, respectively, of Edesur’s total energy sales.  It had energy losses of 10.6%.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, revenues from electricity sales amounted to Ch$ 382.9 billion.

 

In 2008, Edesur’s physical energy sales increased by 2.1%, to 16,160 GWh, compared to 15,833 GWh in 2007.

 

Distribution in Brazil: Ampla & Coelce

 

Our electricity distribution business in Brazil is conducted through Ampla and Coelce.  The concessions for Ampla and Coelce are non-exclusive in their respective territories.  Physical sales in Brazil represented 27% of our consolidated energy sales in distribution and Brazilian customers represent 43% of our consolidated customer base.

 

Ampla

 

We hold a 69.9% economic interest in Ampla as of December 31, 2008.  Chilectra is the technical operator of Ampla but does not receive 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 2.5 million customers in a concession area of 32,054 square kilometers, where an estimated 8.0 million people live. As of December 31, 2008, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers represented 36.9%, 18.7%, 26.1% and 18.3%, respectively, of Ampla’s total sales of 9,119 GWh. It represents a 1.5% increase compared to 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, revenues from electricity sales amounted to Ch$ 837.6 billion.  As of December 31, 2008, Ampla’s energy losses were 20.2% compared to 21.4% in 2007.

 

Coelce

 

We hold a 34.9% economic interest in Coelce, the sole electricity distributor in the State of Ceará, in northeastern Brazil, through a 56.6% interest in Investluz, which owns 56.6% of the capital stock of Coelce.  Chilectra is Coelce’s technical operator but does not receive fees for such role.  As of December 31, 2008, Coelce served over 2.8 million customers within a concession area of 148,825 square kilometers.  During 2008, Coelce had annual sales of 7,571 GWh of energy, which represents a 4.8% increase compared to 2007.  These sales represented Ch$ 626.8 billion.

 

57



Table of Contents

 

Coelce has a relatively stable client base with residential clients representing 33.2% of energy sold.  In 2008, Coelce bought 33% of its energy from Endesa Fortaleza, 24% from CCEARs, 20% from Furnas, 15% from CHESF and 8% from other suppliers.

 

As of December 31, 2008, residential, commercial, industrial and other customers represented 33.1%, 18.7%, 25.8% and 22.4%, of Coelce’s total energy sales.  As of December 31, 2008, Coelce’s energy losses were 11.7% compared to 12.5% in 2007.

 

Distribution in Colombia: Codensa

 

We distribute electricity in Colombia through our subsidiary Codensa in which we hold a 21.7% economic interest.  Most of the other distribution companies in Colombia are state owned.  On the other hand, the possibility of trading energy in Colombia makes that country’s electricity market quite competitive.

 

Codensa serves a region of 41,740 square kilometers in the capital, Bogotá, and 96 other municipalities in the Department of Cundinamarca, Tolima and Boyacá. More than 9.6 million people, or 23% of the Colombian population, live in Codensa’s service area, where it serves approximately 2.3 million customers.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, revenues from electricity sales amounted to Ch$ 608.5 billion.

 

During 2008, Codensa’s annual sales reached 11,822 GWh, reflecting a 3.3% increase compared to 2007.  Of these sales, residential, commercial and industrial represented 88.2%, 9.9% and 1.7%, respectively.  Codensa purchased 46% of its energy in 2008 from Emgesa, a generating company controlled by Endesa Chile, and 54% from other suppliers.  Since 2001, Codensa only services regulated clients.  The unregulated market is serviced directly by our generation subsidiary, Emgesa, with the exception of the public lighting in Bogotá.  Codensa’s energy losses in 2008 were 8.1%, compared to 8.7% in 2007.

 

Distribution in Peru: Edelnor

 

Our electricity distribution business in Peru is conducted through Edelnor, in which we have a 33.5% economic interest through  Distrilima, in which we hold a 55.9% interest. Distrilima owns a 60% interest in Edelnor.

 

Edelnor operates in a concession area of 2,440 square kilometers. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the company had revenues from electricity sales of Ch$ 294.2 billion. Edelnor has an exclusive concession to distribute electricity in the northern part of the capital city, Lima, some provinces of the Lima department such as Huaral, Huaura, Barranca and Oyón, and in the adjacent province of Callao.  As of December 31, 2008, Edelnor distributed electricity to approximately 1.0 million customers, an increase by 4.2% from December 31, 2007.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Edelnor had total energy sales of 5,599 GWh.  The compounded annual growth rate in energy sales from 2003 to 2008 was 7.7%.  Edelnor’s energy losses in 2008 were 8.2% , compared to 8.1% in 2007.

 

Edelnor’s concession agreement is exclusive in its territory.  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. Chilectra is Edelnor’s operator but does not receive fees for such role.

Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework

 

Chile

 

Industry Structure

 

The electricity industry in Chile is divided into three business segments: generation, transmission and distribution.  The generation segment consists of companies that produce electricity.  They sell their production to distribution companies and unregulated customers through contracts or to other generation companies through the spot market.  The transmission segment consists of companies that transmit at high voltage the electricity produced by generation companies.  Finally, the distribution segment is defined for regulatory purposes to include all electricity supply to end users at a voltage no higher than 23 kV.

 

The electricity sector in Chile is regulated pursuant to Decree with force of Law No.1 of 1982, as amended, and the regulations under Decree No.327 of 1998, as amended, collectively known as the Chilean Electricity Law.

 

In Chile there are four separate interconnected electricity systems.  The main systems that cover the most populated areas of Chile are the Sistema Interconectado Central, or SIC, servicing the central and south central part of the territory, where 93% of the Chilean population lives, and the Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande, or SING, which operates in the northern part of the country.  According to the 2002 census, 6.1% of

the Chilean population lives in the territory serviced by the SING.  In addition to the SIC and the SING, there are two smaller systems in southern Chile that provide electricity in remote areas.  The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major interconnected electricity systems is coordinated by their respective dispatch center, Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga, (“CDEC”), an autonomous entity that involves industry groups and transmission companies.  CDECs coordinate the operation of their system as 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 at any moment.  Certain major industrial companies own and operate generation systems to satisfy their own needs.

 

Chilean Electricity Law

 

General

 

The goal of the Chilean Electricity Law is to provide incentives to maximize efficiency and to provide a simplified regulatory scheme and tariff-setting process which limits the discretionary role of the government by establishing objective criteria for setting prices.  The expected result is an economically efficient allocation of resources.  The regulatory system is designed to provide a competitive rate of return on investment to stimulate private investment, while ensuring the availability of electricity service to all who request it.

 

Three governmental entities have primary responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of the Chilean Electricity Law.  The National Energy Commission, or CNE, calculates retail tariffs and wholesale, or node prices, which require the final approval of the Ministry of Economy and prepares the indicative plan, a ten-year guide for the expansion of the system that must be consistent with the calculated node prices.  The Superintendent of Energy and Fuels, or SEF, sets and enforces the technical standards of the system and the proper compliance with the law.  In addition, the Ministry of Economy grants final approval for tariffs and node prices set by the CNE and regulates the granting of concessions to electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies.

 

Generation companies must coordinate their operations through the CDECs to minimize the operating costs of the electricity system and monitor the quality of service provided by generation and transmission companies.  Generation companies fulfill their contractual sales obligations with dispatched electricity, whether produced by them or purchased from other 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.  Since 70% of our generation is hydroelectric and therefore our marginal cost of production is generally the lowest, our electricity capacity in the SIC is generally dispatched first 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 each CDEC, based on the marginal cost of production of the next kWh to be dispatched.

 

Sales by Generation Companies

 

Sales may be made to final customers under contracts or to other generation companies on a spot basis.  Generation companies may also be engaged in contracted sales among each other at negotiated prices.  Contract terms are freely determined.

Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers

 

Historically, sales to distribution companies for resale to regulated customers have been made through contracts at regulated prices (“node prices”) in effect at the relevant locations (“nodes”) on the interconnected system through which such electricity is supplied. Nevertheless, since 2005 all new contracts between generation and distribution companies for the supply to regulated customers must be the result of international auctions which have a maximum regulated offer energy price equal to 120% of the average price paid by the unregulated customers at the time that the bid is made.  If the first bid is unsuccessful, authorities may increase the maximum energy price by an additional 15%.  The bids are awarded on a minimum price basis.  The price associated with these bids will be transferred directly to final users, replacing the current regulated price regime.  During the life of the contract, the energy and capacity prices will be indexed according to formulas set forth in the bid documentation and linked to fuel, investment and other costs of energy generation.  From 2010 onwards, under the bid system all distribution companies will have electricity contracts.

 

Regulated customers are those with a maximum consumption capacity not exceeding 0.5 MW.  Customers between 0.5 MW and 2 MW may choose their status as regulated or unregulated. Customers with capacity needs over 2 MW are unregulated.  Two node prices are paid by distribution companies: one for capacity and the other for energy consumption.  Node prices for capacity are calculated based on the marginal cost of increasing the existing capacity of the electricity system with the least expensive dispatch by any generating facility.  Node prices for energy consumption are calculated based on the projected marginal cost of satisfying the demand for energy at a given point in the interconnected system, during the next 48 months in the SIC and during the next 24 months in the SING.  The determination of such marginal cost takes into account the principal variables in the cost of energy over the ten-year period, including projected growth in demand, reservoir levels, fuel costs for thermal electricity generation facilities, planned maintenance schedules and other factors that could affect the availability of existing generation capacity and scheduled additions to generation capacity during the ten-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.  Although node prices are quoted in pesos, the calculations are made in dollars.  Node prices may be adjusted during such period depending on the fluctuations of the average prices on sales by generators to their unregulated clients.

 

International Bids for Supplying Regulated Customers

 

The first international auction for the supply to distribution companies’ regulated customers took place in 2006.  This auction met 100% of the energy needs required by participating distribution companies.

 

During 2008 Chilectra launched a bidding process for the supply of its regulated customers and contracted a total of 1,800 GWh from 2011 onwards.  These contracts let Chilectra meet the demand of its regulated customers until 2013.

 

Sales to Other Generation Companies

 

Each CDEC annually determines a firm capacity for each power plant.  The generation company is allowed to sell capacity up to its ‘firm capacity’.  Firm capacity is the highest capacity which a generator may supply to the system at certain peak hours, taking into consideration statistical information regarding the time it is out of service such as downtime due for maintenance.

 

61



Table of Contents

 

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 and to its firm capacity.

 

Transmission

 

Since transmission assets are built pursuant to concessions granted by the government, the law requires transmission companies to operate on an “open access” basis, in which consumers may obtain access to the system by contributing toward 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 and distribution companies in the proportion 80% to generators and 20% to distributors.  Transmission tariffs are determined every four years by a decree of the Ministry of Economy.

 

Distribution Tariff to Final Customers

 

The tariff charged by distribution companies to final customers is determined by the sum of the cost of electricity purchased by the distribution company, a transmission charge and the “value added by the distribution network”, or VAD, which allows distribution companies to recover their operating costs.  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 for transmitting and transforming electricity.  The VAD includes an allowed return on investment.

 

VAD Tariff

 

VAD is based on a “model company” and includes: selling, general and administrative distribution costs; maintenance and operating costs of distribution assets; energy cost and losses; and an expected return on investment, before taxes, of 10% per year in real terms based on the replacement cost of assets employed in distribution.

 

To this end the CNE selects a company, to which it applies efficiency guidelines which results in a cost structure for the “model company” for each Typical Distribution Area (see next paragraph).  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 for the model company, which is used as a benchmark.

 

Distribution Tariff-Setting Process

 

VAD is set every four years.  The CNE classifies companies into groups, according to Typical Distribution Areas, based on economic factors that group companies with similar distribution costs due to population density which determines equipment density in the network.

 

Actual return on investment of a distribution company depends on its performance relative to the standards chosen by the CNE for the model company.  The tariff system allows for a greater return to distribution companies that are more efficient than the model company.  Tariff studies are performed by the CNE and distribution companies.  Tariffs are estimated as a weighted average of the results of the CNE-commissioned study and the companies’ study, with the results of the CNE’s study bearing twice the weight of the companies’ results.  Preliminary tariffs are tested to ensure that they provide an average actual annual internal rate of return between 6% and 14% on the replacement cost of electricity-related assets for the entire distribution segment.

The last process for setting distribution tariffs was held in 2008.

 

Concessions

 

The law permits generation without a concession.  However, generation companies may apply for a concession to facilitate access to third-party properties.  Third-party property owners are entitled to compensation, which may be agreed to by the parties or, if there is no agreement, may be determined by an administrative proceeding that may be appealed in the Chilean courts.

 

Fines and Compensations

 

If a rationing decree is enacted in response to prolonged periods of electricity shortages, severe penalties may be imposed on generation companies that violate the decree.  A severe drought is not considered a force majeure event.

 

Generation and distribution companies may also be required to pay fines to the regulatory authorities, related to blackouts due to a generator’s operational failure, including failures related to the coordination duties of all the system’s agents as well as to make compensatory payments to final consumers affected by shortages.  If generation companies cannot meet their contractual obligations to deliver electricity during periods when a rationing decree is in effect and there is no energy available to purchase in the system, the generation company must compensate customers at the failure cost determined by the authority in each tariff setting.  Failure costs correspond to the average cost incurred by final consumers in providing a kWh by their own means.

 

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.

 

Along with the VAD tariff process for 2008, the CNE published a report on associated electrical services.  Agents, generation, transmission and distribution companies submitted their comments.  Final tariffs are expected be effective in 2009.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The Chilean Constitution grants all citizens the right to live in a pollution-free environment.  It establishes that other constitutional rights may be limited in order to protect the environment.  Chile has numerous laws, regulations, decrees and municipal ordinances that may raise environmental considerations.  Among them, are regulations relating to waste disposal (including the discharge of liquid industrial waste), the establishment of industries in areas in which they may affect public health, and the protection of water for human consumption.

 

Environmental Law No.19,300, was enacted in 1994 and implemented by “Reglamento 30” issued in 1997.  This law requires generation and transmission companies to conduct environmental impact studies of any future projects and to submit such studies for approval by the Chilean Environmental Commission, or Conama.  It also requires an environmental impact evaluation by the Chilean government or obtaining an environmental insurance policy insuring compliance with standards for emissions, noise, waste and disposal and authorizes the relevant ministries to establish emission standards.  Our Chilean subsidiaries apply the guidelines set out in Reglamento 30 when analyzing future projects.

 

On April 1, 2008, Law 20,257, which is an amendment to the General Services Law, was enacted.  The purpose of this law is to promote the use of non-conventional renewable energy, or NCRE.  This law defines the different

 

63



Table of Contents

 

types of technologies considered as NCRE, and establishes the obligation of generators between 2010 and 2014, to supply 5% of their total energy contracted from August 31, 2007, to be of such type, and to progressively increase this percentage from 0.5% on that date up to 10% in 2024.  Our power plants that meet the requirements to be considered as NCRE generators are: Palmucho (32 MW), Canela (18 MW) and Ojos de Agua (9 MW) representing 1.2% of our installed capacity as of December 2008.  Additionally, the law sets forth fines for the generators that do not comply with this obligation.  Our generation subsidiary Endesa Chile estimates that it will be able to fully comply with this obligation by 2010 and even generate excess NCRE energy, which could be sold to other generators.  The additional cost of generating electricity with NCRE, as compared to conventional sources, will be charged to the new contracts, thus eliminating the impact on revenues.

 

Water rights

 

Endesa Chile owns unlimited duration, unconditional and absolute property water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority.  Chilean generation companies must pay an annual fee for unused water rights.  Endesa Chile permanently analyzes which water rights it will maintain or disregard.  During 2008, we paid and recovered fees in the amount of Ch$ 2,501 million ($ 3.9 million using the 2008 year-end exchange rate).  This amount may vary in the future according to the water rights we may hold each year.  We estimate that in 2009 we will pay fees in the amount of Ch$ 1,802 million ($ 3.0 million).  We estimate that if we do not abandon any water rights in the SIC, we will have to pay license in the amount up to $ 4.9 million per year until 2011.    Thereafter, this amount will be doubled and remain constant for five years, at which point the license fees will be doubled again.  In the case of water rights located in southern Chile, outside the area comprised by the SIC, the license fees will be paid starting as of January 1, 2012.  They may be recovered through monthly tax credits, until the license fee payments are recovered in full.

 

Argentina

 

Introduction

 

Law No.15,336 of 1960 and Law No.24,065 of 1992 (together, the “Argentine Electricity Act”) set the regulatory framework for the electricity sector.

 

Under the Argentine Electricity Act the Federal Government:

 

·                  divided the industry into three business segments: generation, transmission and distribution to enable the electric market development under free competition for generation with reduced tariffs, requirements for certain quality standards, and to avoid ownership concentration;

 

·                  created the Wholesale Power Market, or “MEM”, where four categories of agents (namely, generators, transmitters, distributors and large users) are allowed to buy and sell electricity and related products;

 

·                  decreed Administrative Company for the Wholesale Electricity Market, or “Cammesa”, responsible for the dispatch coordination, administration of the agents’ transactions in the MEM and the calculation of spot prices.  The agents participate as shareholders in Cammesa through their corresponding associations with the Secretariat of Energy, the owner of the remaining 20% of Cammesa’s capital stock.  The Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investments and Services, “Ministerio de Planificación Federal, Inversión Pública y Servicios”, appoints the chairman of Cammesa’s board of directors; and

 

64



Table of Contents

 

·                  created the Electric Power National Regulatory Agency, or “ENRE”, empowered to regulate public service activities in the electricity sector and impose jurisdictional decisions.

 

The Secretariat of Energy is primary responsible for the implementation of the Argentine Electricity Law. Resolution SEE No.61/1992, as amended, established the Procedures for Operation, Dispatch of Charges and Price Calculation Program, or “Procedures”, which regulate the dispatch of the system and the activities in the MEM.  Resolution SE No.21/1997 regulates the procedure to grant the concessions of international interconnected transmission systems.

 

Industry structure

 

The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis, with independent generators selling their production on the MEM’s spot market or through private contracts to purchasers; on the term market of the MEM.

 

Transmission operates under monopoly conditions by several companies to whom the Federal Government grants concessions.  Our concessionaire operates and maintains the highest voltage facilities and eight concessionaires operate and maintain their high and medium voltage facilities, to which facilities of generation plants, distribution systems and big clients are connected.  The international interconnected transmission systems also require concessions granted by the Federal Government.  Transmission companies are authorized to charge different tolls for their services.

 

Distribution is a public service that works under monopoly conditions and is provided by companies who have been granted concessions.  Distribution companies have the obligation to make electricity available to the final customers within a specific concession area, regardless whether the final customer has contracts with the distributor or a generator.  Accordingly, these companies are regulated with respect to tariffs and are subject to service quality standards.  Distribution companies may obtain electricity either in MEM spot market at a price called seasonal price, or in MEM term market through contracts with generators.  The seasonal price defined by the Secretariat of Energy is the cap for the costs of electricity bought by distributors, and passed through to regulated customers.

 

There are three electricity distribution areas subject to federal concessions.  The concessionaires are Edelap, Edesur and Edenor.  The local distribution areas are subject to concessions granted by the provincial or municipal authorities.  Nonetheless, all distribution companies acting in the MEM must operate under its rules.

 

Electricity final customers are regulated customers supplied by distributors at regulated tariffs, unless they have a demand of at least 30 kW, and choose to contract their supply from generators in MEM’s spot market, in which case they are considered large clients.

 

Traders are also authorized participate in the MEM.  They buy and sell energy and related products from and for agents of the MEM, including such received by the provinces as payments for electricity royalties.

 

No generator, distributor, big client, nor any company controlled by some of them or controlling the same, may either be owner or major shareholder of a transmission company or of its controlling company.  Transmission companies are prohibited from generating, distributing, purchasing and/or selling electricity.  Distribution companies are prohibited from owning generation units.

 

Dispatch and Pricing

 

The coordination of dispatch operations, fixing of spot prices and administration of economic transactions in the MEM are controlled by Cammesa.  All generators that are MEM agents should be connected to the Argentine Interconnected System, or “Argentine NIS”, and are obliged to comply with the dispatch order to generate and

 

65



Table of Contents

 

deliver the energy to the Argentine NIS in order to be sold either in MEM’s spot or term markets.  Distribution companies, traders and big clients that have entered into private supply contracts with generation companies pay the contractual price directly to the generator and also pay a toll to distribution companies for the use of their systems.

 

The spot price is calculated on an hourly basis by Cammesa according to the cost of the marginal kW to be dispatched in the Argentine NIS and is paid to generators and sellers of energy at the spot market.  The Argentine Electricity Act sets that electricity prices in the spot market are determined on a marginal cost basis.  Since 2002, the Secretariat of Energy started to modify several criteria around the spot prices and imposed, among other restrictions, caps for spot prices to be paid to generators. It also recognized the costs of natural gas according to the Federal Government’s estimates, even though additional costs are collected by the market and paid to the generator with such costs.

 

In order to stabilize distribution tariffs, the market has a seasonal price as the price to be paid by distributors for their purchases of electricity traded in the spot market.  It is a fixed price determined every six months by the Secretariat of Energy after Cammesa recommends the seasonal price level for next period according to its estimated spot price based on its evaluation of the expected supply, demand and available capacity as well as other factors.  The seasonal price is maintained for at least 90 days.  Since 2002, the Secretariat of Energy has been approving seasonal prices lower than those recommended by Cammesa.  Effective from October 1, 2008,  Resolution 1169/08 imposed an increase in the seasonal price to residential, commercial and industrial customers with high demand.

 

Regulatory Developments: the industry after the Public Emergency Law

 

General

 

Law No.25,561, titled Public Emergency Law, was enacted in 2002 to manage the public emergency . It forced the renegotiation of public service contracts (such as electricity transmission and distribution concession contracts), imposed the conversion of dollar denominated obligations into Argentine pesos at a rate of Ar$ 1 per $ 1 and empowered the Federal Government to implement additional monetary, financial and exchange rate measures to overcome the economic crisis that affected Argentina.  The effects of these measures have been periodically extended.  Law No.26,456, enacted in December 2008, extended its effects until December 31, 2009.

 

Following that law, the Secretariat of Energy introduced several regulatory measures aimed to correct the effects of the devaluation into the costs and prices in the MEM and to reduce the price to be paid by the final customers.

 

Generation

 

The mandatory conversion of transmission and distribution tariffs in Argentine pesos from dollars at a pegged rate of Ar$ 1 per $ 1 while the market exchange rate had been approximately Ar$ 3 per $ 1 and the regulatory measures to cap and reduce the spot and seasonal prices hindered the transfer of variable costs of generation into the transmission and distribution tariffs to final customers.

 

These measures reduced revenues of the generators since the authority — through Resolution SE No.406/2003 — only allows payments to them for the remaining amounts collected from the purchasers in the spot market after the payment of other obligations in the MEM and discouraged savings in electricity consumption as well as investments to satisfy the increase in demand, including the transmission capacity.

 

Additionally, generators suffered an income reduction from contracted prices because they were reduced as a

 

66



Table of Contents

 

consequence of the spot price level.

 

The obligation to settle the unpaid spot electricity with generators, led authorities to fund investments in new capacity within the MEM, through Foninvemem, a fund managed by Cammesa.  Funds in Foninvemem have been used to install two combined cycle generation plants of 800 MW each.

 

Resolution SE No.240/2003 changed the way to fix spot prices with natural gas tariffs by imposing a cap on generation costs and decoupling the spot price from the marginal costs of the generation company also operating with fuel.  The resolution also imposed additional capped prices for hydroelectric generators.  Although generation dispatch is still based on fuels used, the spot price calculation under the resolution is defined as whether all dispatched generation units did not have restrictions on their natural gas supply, even though they have had restrictions, additionally water value is not considered if its opportunity cost is higher than the cost of natural gas generation.

 

Resolution SE No.724/2008 gave thermal generators the opportunity to reduce some of the effects of Resolution SE No.406/2003 by allowing Supply Commitment Contracts or “CCAM” into the MEM. Thermal generators with CCAM can supply energy to the Argentine autonomous entity in charge of the MEM’s operation, or “Cammesa”, for up to 36 months, renewable only for an additional period of six month, and charge spot prices.

 

Transmission and distribution

 

Transmission and distribution companies have been renegotiating contracts since 2005 and although tariffs were partially and temporarily adjusted, definitive tariffs were still pending as of December 2008.

 

As a result, although the terms to define energy prices pursuant to the Argentine Electricity Act are still in force, their implementation reflects the intervention of the authorities to reduce compensation for all electricity companies.

 

During 2006, our subsidiary Edesur entered into an Agreement for Renegotiation of Concession Contract, which concluded during 2008 when the Federal Government imposed two increases in tariffs, one from July 2008 and one from October 2008.

 

Natural gas market

 

There has been a shortage of natural gas to supply power plants for several years.  In order to secure internal demand, the Argentine government entered into an agreement with Venezuela for supply of fuel until 2010.  Although the fuel oil is used as a last recourse, the national regulatory policy supported the acquisition of liquid fuel by the electric generators and provided financing from the Stabilization Fund.  Generation companies also agreed to purchase a fixed amount of fuel oil of instant availability in order to cover any generator’s potential stock shortages.  Generators are normally allowed to buy diesel and fuel at subsidized prices.

 

Since 2004, the Federal Government has been importing natural gas from Bolivia.  On June 29, 2006, Argentina and Bolivia entered into a 20-year agreement under which Argentina has the right to receive up to 28 million cubic meters daily.

 

One of the measures relating to natural gas in recent years was the creation of the Electronic Gas Market (“MEG”).  Through the MEG, the regulatory authorities increased the transparency of physical and commercial operations in the spot market.

Electricity Exports and Imports

 

In order to give priority to the internal market supply, the Secretariat of Energy adopted additional measures that restricted electricity exports.  Resolution SE No.949/2004 established measures that allowed agents to export and import energy under very restricted conditions.  This resolution prevented generators from satisfying their export commitments.

 

Foninvemem

 

Resolution SE No.712/2004 created a fund, called Foninvemem, to increase electricity capacity/generation within the MEM.  Pursuant to Resolution SE No.406/2003 the Secretariat of Energy decided to pay the generators the spot prices up to the amount available at the Stabilization Fund after collecting the funds from the purchasers in the spot market at seasonal prices lower than spot prices for the same period.  Cammesa was appointed to manage Foninvemem.

 

Pursuant to Resolution SE No.1,193/2005 all private generators of the MEM were called to participate in the construction, operation and maintenance of the electric energy generation plants to be built with Foninvemem, consisting of two combined cycle generation plants of 800 MW each.

 

Incentive programs

 

In order to provide incentives for the installation of new capacity in the NIS, Resolution 1,281/2006 created the Servicio Energía Plus, or “Energy Plus Service”, which is the offer of new electricity capacity to supply the growth in electricity demand over the “Base Demand” which was the demand for electricity in 2005.  The Energy Plus Service, which started on November 1, 2006, is supplied by generators that install new capacity or that offer existing generation capacity not connected before to the NIS.  All big clients that, had a higher demand than their Base Demand can contract excess demand with the Energy Plus Service.  The price of the contracts for Energy Plus Service should be approved by the relevant authorities.  Consumptions that cannot be secured by an Energy Plus Service contract, may request Cammesa to conduct an auction to satisfy such demands.

 

Regulation for the promotion of Energy Infrastructure projects

 

Law No.26,095 and National Decree No.1,216/2006 imposed charges to be paid by final customers of electricity and natural gas in order to finance new electricity and gas infrastructure projects, to complete new investments in the electricity sector and to expand natural gas and electric power transport capacity.  In addition, the Federal Government enacted some regulations to promote the rational and efficient use of electric power.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

Electricity facilities are subject to federal and local environmental laws and regulations, including Law No.24,051, or “Hazardous Waste Law”, and its ancillary regulations.

 

68



Table of Contents

 

Certain reporting and monitoring obligations and emission standards are imposed on the electricity sector.  Failure to meet these requirements entitles the government to impose penalties, such as suspension of operations, which, in case of public services, could result in the cancellation of concessions.

 

Brazil

 

Industry Structure

 

Brazil’s electricity industry is organized into one large interconnected electricity system, which is known as the Sistema Interligado Nacional (the “Brazilian NIS”), which comprises most of the regions of Brazil and several other small, isolated systems.

 

Generation, transmission and distribution are legally separated activities in Brazil.  Non-regulated customers in Brazil are currently those customers: (i) who demand at least 3,000 kW and choose to contract the energy supply directly with generators or retailers; or (ii) who demand at least 500 kW (and less than 3,000 kW) and choose to contract the energy supply directly with the alternative generators or traders, according to the specifications set forth in Law 9,427/96.

 

The electricity industry in Brazil is regulated by the Federal Government, acting through the Ministry of Mines and Energy, or MME, which has exclusive authority over the electricity sector and whose primary role is to establish the policies, guidelines and regulations for the sector.  Regulatory policies are implemented by the ANEEL (National Agency of Electric Power), whose main responsibilities include, among others: (1) supervision of the concessions for electricity sale, generation, transmission and distribution activities, and approval of electricity tariffs; (2) enactment of regulations for the electricity sector; (3) implementation and regulation of the exploitation of electricity resources, including the use of hydroelectricity; (4) promotion of a bidding process for new concessions; (5) resolution of administrative disputes between electricity sector agents; and (6) setting of the criteria and methodology for determining distribution and transmission tariffs.

 

Other regulatory authorities include: (i) the Brazilian Electricity System Operator (ONS), comprised of generation, transmission and distribution companies, and independent consumers, responsible for coordination and control of the generation and transmission operations of the Brazilian NIS; (ii) the Electricity Trading Board (CCEE), a company in which Agents are gathered in four categories: Generation, Distribution, Trading and Consumers and whose main purpose is to carry out the wholesale transactions and trading of electric power within the Brazilian NIS; and (iii) the Brazilian Energy Policy Council (CNPE) in charge of  developing a national electricity policy.

 

Deregulation and Privatization

 

The Concessions Law (No.8,987) and the Power Sector Law (No.9,074), both enacted in 1995,  intend to inject competition and attract private capital into the electricity sector.  Since then, several assets owned by the Federal Government of Brazil and/or states governments were privatized.

 

Independent Power Producers and Self-Producers

 

The Power Sector Law also introduced the concept of independent power producers, or IPPs , to open the electricity sector to private sector investment.  IPPs are individual agents or agents acting in a consortium who

 

69



Table of Contents

 

receive a concession, permit or authorization from the Brazilian government to produce electricity for sale on its own account.

 

The Concessions Law also provides that, upon receiving a concession, IPPs, self-producers, suppliers and consumers will have access to the distribution and transmission systems owned by other concessionaires, provided that they are reimbursed for their costs determined by ANEEL.

 

Law No.9,648/98 created the Wholesale Energy Market, formed by the generation and distribution companies.  According to this model, the purchase and sale of electricity was freely negotiated.

 

Pursuant to Law No.10,433/2002, the Wholesale Energy Market structure changed to be closely regulated and monitored by ANEEL.  As a result, ANEEL is now responsible for setting Wholesale Energy Market governance rules.  This restructuring seeks to reorganize the electricity system model to allow for continued external investment.

 

Law No.10,848/04 seeks to maintain public service for the production and distribution of electricity to consumers within each concession area, restructures planning system, guarantees transparency in the auction and bidding process for public projects to mitigate the systemic risks, to maintain centralized and coordinated operations of the energy system and to grant universal use and access to electricity throughout Brazil and it also modifies the bidding process of public service concessions.

 

Structure of the Electricity Sector

 

The model established pursuant to Laws No.10,847 and 10,848 seeks to provide cheaper tariffs for consumers and guarantees the expansion of the system, with the Power Research Company (EPE), a governmental body, responsible for the planning of generation and transmission activities.  This model has defined an unregulated contracting environment and a regulated environment.

 

In the unregulated contracting environment, the conditions for purchasing energy are negotiable between suppliers and their customers.  In relation to the regulated environment, where distribution companies operate, the purchase of energy must be executed pursuant to a bidding process coordinated by ANEEL.

 

Pursuant to the model, 100% of the energy demand from distributors must be satisfied through long-term contracts in advance of the expiration of current contracts in the regulated environment.

 

Another change imposed on the electricity sector is the separation of the bidding process for “previously existing power” and “new power project.”  Power plants that were in existence prior to 2000 are considered “previously existing power” and those that were developed after 2000 are considered “new power project.”  The government believes that “previously 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 power project companies.  Under the new regime, this priority will be in the form of more favorable contractual terms.  For example, a generator considered new power project is guaranteed a power purchase agreement with a 20-year term if it wins the bidding process, while an existing power is not necessarily even guaranteed participation in the bidding process.

 

Distribution

 

The Concessions Law establishes three kinds of revisions to final consumer tariffs which are annual tariff resetting, ordinary tariff revision and extraordinary tariff revisions.

 

Distribution companies’ pricing aims to maintain a concessionaire’s operating margins constant by allowing for tariff gains due to costs beyond management’s control and permitting the concessionaire to retain any efficiency

gains achieved for defined periods of time.  Tariffs to end users are also adjusted according to the variation of costs incurred in purchasing electricity.

 

Ordinary 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.  Under their concessions it occurs every four years for Coelce and every five years for Ampla.  The asset base consists of the market replacement value depreciated during their useful life from an accounting point of view and the rate of return for the assets is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, or WACC, of a model company.  The operating and maintenance costs reflected in the tariff are calculated based on the model company which considers the singular characteristics of the concession area of distributors.

 

The 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 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, the concessionaire may make a request to ANEEL to charge those costs to final customers.

 

2008 Tariff revision

 

A tariff revision applicable to Ampla was introduced on March 15, 2008, with an average 11.0% increase in prices for all consumers and 10.9% for residential customers.  The tariff revision for Coelce was effective on April 22, 2008.  The average increase in prices for customers was 6.7%, lower than the IGPM, the general price index.

 

Recognition of investments for the reduction of non-technical losses

 

In response to a request from Ampla, ANEEL determined that projects intended to combat energy theft and decrease electrical losses, which consider the efficiency, effectiveness will be considered in tariff revisions after auditing processes.

 

Concessions

 

Companies or consortia that intend to build or operate hydroelectric generation facilities with a capacity in excess of 30 MW, or transmission networks in Brazil, have to use a public tender process.  Concessions granted to the holder give the right to generate, transmit or distribute electricity, as the case may be, in a specified area for a given period of time.

 

The period of time is limited to 35 years for new generation concessions and to 30 years for new transmission or distribution concessions.  Existing concessions may be renewed at the discretion of the Brazilian government, for a period equal to their initial term.

 

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 enact environmental regulations, state governments have the power to enact more stringent environmental regulations.  Most of the environmental regulations in Brazil are at the state and local level rather than at the level of the federal government.

 

71



Table of Contents

 

Hydroelectric facilities are required to obtain concessions for water rights and environmental approvals.  Thermal electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies are required to obtain environmental approvals from environmental regulatory authorities.

 

Electricity Sales

 

In the Regulated Environment (ACR), electricity distribution companies buy the electricity through auctions that are regulated by ANEEL and organized by CCEE.  Distributors must buy electricity at public auctions.

 

There are two types of regulated auctions at which distributors buy electricity, one at which existing contracts can be renewed, and one at which new contracts are entered into.  The government has also the right to call special auctions for renewable electricity (biomass, small hydro, solar and wind).  ANEEL and CCEE hold the auctions annually.

 

Unregulated contracts, or ACL, include the sale of electricity between generation concessionaires, independent producers, self-producers, sellers of electricity, importers of electricity, unregulated and special consumers.  The ACL also includes current bilateral contracts in place between generators and distributors until their expiration, at which point new contracts may be entered into under the terms of the new regulatory framework.

 

Energy Bids

 

The sale of electricity in the ACR occurs through new electricity bids, existing electricity bids and adjustment bids.  The contracting system is multilateral, with generators entering into contracts with all distributors who submit bids.

 

Settlement Spot Price

 

The Settlement Price for the Differences is used to value the purchase and sale of electric power in the short term market.  According to the New Industry Model Law, CCEE is responsible for the setting of the electricity price in the spot market.

 

Fines applicable to agents in the electricity industry

 

Selling agents are responsible to the buying agent for payments if they are unable to satisfy their delivery obligations.  ANEEL regulation sets forth the fines applicable to electricity agents based on the nature and the materiality of the violation (including warnings, fines, temporary suspension of the right to participate in bids for new concessions, licenses or authorizations and forfeiture).  For each violation, fines may be imposed for up to 2.0% of the concessionaire’s revenues arising from the sale of electricity and services provided (net of taxes) in the 12-month period immediately preceding any assessment notice.

 

ANEEL may also impose restrictions on the terms and conditions of agreements between related parties and, in extreme circumstances, terminate such agreements.

 

A party defaulting on payment of contributions to RGR (Global Reversal Reserve), Proinfa, Energy Development Account, or CDE, Fossil-fuel Consumption Account, or CCC, or any other payments due by virtue of the purchase of electricity in the ACR or from Itaipu cannot use tariff adjustments (except for the extraordinary

revision) or any proceeds from the RGR, CDE or CCC.  CDE was created by Law No.10438 in 2002 to grant subsidies to power plants using Brazilian mineral coal and to support the production of electricity from alternative sources.  The CCC was created in 1973 with the intent to grant subsidies to cover the cost of fuel used by thermoelectric plants located in isolated systems.

 

Incentives for the Development of Alternative Sources of Energy

 

Law 10,438/2002 created certain incentive programs for the use of alternative sources in the generation of electricity.  Proinfa assures the purchase of the electricity generated by Eletrobrás for a period of 20 years, and financial support from the BNDES.  Other programs include a discount up to 50% on the distribution or transmission tariffs and a special exception for those consumers with electricity consumption volumes ranging from 500 kV to 3 MW (special consumers) who decide to migrate to ACL, provided that such consumers purchase electricity from generating companies using alternative sources of electricity.

 

Industry Charges

 

The Power Industry Law requires that holders of a concession to use water resources pay a fee from 6.00% to 6.75%, depending on the size of the generation plant, of the amount of the electricity they produce.

 

The electricity service inspection fee, is an annual fee of approximately 0.5% of the annual benefit obtained by the company and varies according to the type of service and in proportion to the size of the concession, permit or authorization.

 

With regard to the subsidy of fuel costs to SIN-connected thermoelectric plants using Brazilian coal, CDE succeed the CCC (Fuel Consumption Account).  The CDE is funded by all electricity consumers and was created to support: (1) the development of electricity production throughout the country; (2) production of electricity from alternative sources (wind, mineral coal, gas and biomass); and (3) social objectives, such as the availability of electricity services throughout the country, reduction of the cost of electricity to low-income residents and preservation of the coal industry in southern Brazil.

 

For existing thermoelectric plants that use coal produced in Brazil, the law requires that the CDE be used to subsidize up to 100% of the cost of the coal.  In accordance with the applicable legislation, power plants must make a minimum purchase of coal in order to guarantee certain levels of production of Brazilian coal to benefit from the subsidy.  However, self-producing consumers do not pay the CDE charge, which is a significant advantage for these kinds of projects.

 

Until December 2003, all power industry agents, whether distribution companies, generation companies or dealers, who negotiated electricity with final consumers, made monthly contributions to the Fossil-fuel Consumption Account — CCC, an economic subsidy to cover the cost of fuel used by thermoelectric located in isolated systems, for a period of 20 years, in order to promote the generation of electricity in these regions.

 

Contribution for Research and Development

 

Companies holding concessions, permits and authorizations for the distribution, generation and transmission of electricity must invest every year at least 1% of their net operating revenues in research and development of the power industry.  Mini-hydro power stations, solar and wind electricity and biomass projects are exempt from these requirements.

Colombia

 

Two pieces of legislation regulate the electricity business in Colombia: Law 142 (the “Colombian Public Utilities Law”) sets the regulatory framework for the supply of public residential services, including electricity, and Law 143 (the “Colombian Electricity Law”) establishes the framework for the generation, trading, transmission and distribution of electricity.  Law 142 states that the provision of electricity is an essential public service that must be provided by government and private sector entities.

 

Utility companies are required to ensure continuous and efficient service, facilitate the access of low-income users to subsidies granted by the government, inform users regarding efficient and safe use of the services, protect the environment, allow access and interconnection to other public service companies and large users, cooperate with the authorities in the event of an emergency to prevent damage to users, and report to the authority any commercial start-up of operations.

 

The Colombian Electricity Act sets out the principles for the electricity industry, which are implemented through the resolutions enacted by the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission, or “CREG”.  Such principles are: efficiency - the correct allocation and use of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum cost;  quality - compliance with technical requirements;  continuity - continuous electricity supply without unjustified interruptions;  adaptability — the incorporation of modern technology and administrative systems to promote quality and efficiency; neutrality — impartial treatment to all electricity consumers;  solidarity — the provision of funds by higher-income consumers to subsidize the subsistence consumption of lower income consumers; and equity — an adequate and nondiscriminatory supply of electricity to all regions and sectors of the country.

 

The Colombian Electricity Act regulates the generation, transmission, distribution, and trading (the “Activities”) of electricity.  Under the 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.

 

The market share for generators and traders is limited.  The limit for generators is 25% of the Colombian system’s Firm Energy.  Firm Energy for the Reliability Charge refers to the maximum electric energy that a generation plant is able to deliver on a continuous basis during a year, in extremely dry conditions, for instance, in the case of the El Niño phenomenon.  A generator’s share in the activity of power generation can reach up to 30%, when the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is greater or equal to 1800, under overseeing of the Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios (SSPD).

 

Similarly, a trader may not account for more than 25% of the trading activity in the Colombian National Interconnected System (Colombian NIS).  Limitations for traders take into account international energy sales.  Market share is calculated on a monthly basis and traders have up to six months to reduce their share when the limit is exceeded.

 

Such limits are applied to economic groups, including 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.

 

A generator, distributor, trader or an integrated company, i.e. a firm combining generation, transmission and distribution activities, cannot own more than 15% of the equity in a transmission company if the latter represents more than 2% of the national transmission business in terms of revenues.  A distribution company can have more

 

74



Table of Contents

 

than 25% of an integrated company’s equity if the market share of the last company is less than 2% of the national generation business.  A company created before enactment of Law 143 is banned from merging with another company created after Law 143.

 

The Ministry of Mines and Energy defines the government’s policy for the energy sector.  Other government entities which play an important role in the electricity industry are: Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios, which is in charge of overseeing and inspecting the utility companies; CREG, which is in charge of regulating the energy and gas sectors; and the Mining and Energy Planning Agency, which is in charge of planning the expansion of the generation and transmission network.

 

CREG is empowered to issue regulations to govern technical and commercial operations and to set charges for regulated activities.  CREG’s main functions are to establish conditions for gradual deregulation of the electricity sector toward an open and competitive market, approve charges for transmission and distribution networks and charges for retailing to regulated customers, establish the methodology for calculating and establishing maximum tariffs for supplying the regulated market, establish regulations for planning and coordination of operations of the Colombian NIS and establish technical requirements for quality, reliability and security of supply and the protection of customers’ rights.

 

Generation

 

The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis with companies selling their production on the electricity pool market, the Energy Exchange, or the Bolsa, at the spot price or by long-term private contracts with other participants and non-regulated users at freely negotiated prices.  The Colombian NIS is the system formed by generation plants, the interconnection grid, regional transmission lines, distribution lines and consumer loads.  The spot price is the price paid by the participant in the wholesale market for energy dispatched under the direction of the Dispatch National Center (“CND”).  The hourly spot price paid for energy reflects prices offered by generators in the Bolsa and the respective supply and demand conditions.

 

Generators connected to the Colombian NIS can also receive “reliability payments” which are a result of the Firm Energy Obligation that they provide to the system.  The Firm Energy Obligation (OEF) is a commitment on the part of generation companies backed by its physical resource capable of producing firm energy during scarcity periods.  The generator that acquires an OEF will receive a fixed remuneration during the commitment period; whether or not the fulfillment of its obligation is required.  To receive reliability payments, generators have to participate in firm energy bids by declaring and certifying their firm energy.  Until November 2012, the transition period, the firm energy supply for reliability purposes will be assigned proportionally to the declared firm energy of each generator.  Beyond the transition period, the additional firm energy required by the system will be allocated by bids.  The first auction for this period took place in May 6, 2008, where existing generators participated with new generation projects while meeting the established market share limits.

 

CREG recently ordered that starting February 2009, the offer prices and dispatch information must be kept confidential for three months.

 

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 for new entrants into the market as long as the participants comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

 

The Energy Exchange facilitates the sale of excess energy that has not been committed under contracts.  In the

 

75



Table of Contents

 

Energy Exchange, an hourly spot price for all dispatched units is established based on the offer price of the highest priced generating dispatched unit for that period.  The CND receives price bids each day from all the generators participating in the Energy Exchange.  These bids indicate prices and the hourly available capacity for the following day.  Based on this information, the CND guided by “optimal dispatch” principle (which assumes an infinite transmission capacity through the network), ranks the generators according to their offer price, starting with the lowest bid, and establishing the merit order, on an hourly basis, determining which generator will be dispatched the following day to meet expected demand.  The price for all generators is set as the less expensive generator dispatched in each hourly period under the optimal 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.  Additionally, the CND performs the “planned dispatch,” which takes into account the limitations of the network as well as every other condition necessary to meet the energy demands expected for the following day, in a secure, reliable and cost-efficient manner.

 

If a generator delivers less energy than that assigned by the optimal dispatch, it is charged with the average of the market price and their offer prices.  On the other hand, those generators that deliver energy in excess are credited with the difference.  The net value of these restrictions is assigned proportionally to all the traders within the Colombian NIS, according to their demands of energy.  Some generators have initiated legal proceedings arguing that recognized prices do not cover the costs associated with these restrictions.

 

Transmission

 

Transmission companies which operate at least at 220 kV make up the National Transmission System, or NTS.  They are required to provide access to third parties on equal conditions and are authorized to collect a tariff for their services.  The transmission tariff includes a connection charge that underwrites the cost of operating the facilities, and a usage charge, which applies only to traders.

 

CREG guarantees an annual fixed income to transmission companies.  Income is determined by the new replacement value of the networks and equipment, and by the resulting value of bidding processes awarding new projects for the expansion of the NTS.  This value is allocated among the traders of the NTS in proportion to their energy demand.

 

The expansion of the NTS is conducted according to model expansion plans designed by the Mining and Energy Planning Agency and pursuant to bidding processes opened to existing transmission companies and new companies, which are handled by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in accordance with the guidelines set by CREG.  Accordingly, the construction, operation and maintenance of new projects is awarded to the company that offers the lowest present value of cash flows needed for carrying out the project.  Transmission charges are expected to be updated by CREG in 2009.

 

Distribution

 

Distribution is defined as the operation of local networks below 220 kV.  Any user may have access to a distribution network for which it pays a connection charge.  CREG regulates distribution prices that should permit distribution companies to recover costs, including operating, maintenance and capital costs operating efficiently.  Distribution charges are set by CREG for each company based on the replacement cost of the existing distribution assets, cost of capital, as well as operational and maintenance costs that vary depending on the voltage level.

 

A new remuneration methodology for the distribution was defined by CREG in 2008 which set the Weighted Average Cost of Capital at 13.9% before taxes, for assets operating at 34.5 kV or less, and 13%

 

76



Table of Contents

 

before taxes for assets operating above 34.5 kV.  CREG also defined a new methodology for the calculation of distribution charges, defining an incentive scheme for administrative, operational and maintenance costs, service quality and energy losses.   CREG is expected to apply in the first semester of 2009, the resolutions to determine new distribution charges applicable to the years 2009-2013.

 

Trading

 

The retail market is divided into regulated and unregulated customers.  Customers in the unregulated market may freely contract for electricity supply directly from a generator or a distributor, acting 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 currently represent about 32% of the market.

 

Trading is the resale to end users of electricity purchased in the wholesale market.  It may be conducted by generators, distributors or independent agents, which comply with certain requirements.  Parties freely agree upon trading prices for unregulated users.

 

Trading to regulated users is subject to the “regulated regime” under which tariffs are set by each trader using a combination of general cost formulas given by CREG and individual trading costs approved by CREG for each trader.  Since CREG approves limits on costs, traders in the regulated market may set lower tariffs for economic reasons.  Tariffs include, among other things, energy procurement costs, transmission charges, distribution charges and a trading margin.  Trading charges for regulated users are expected to be updated in 2009.

 

The tariff formula became effective on February 1, 2008.  The main changes in the new formula are the establishment of a fixed monthly charge, and the introduction of reduction costs of non-technical energy losses in the trading charges.  In addition, CREG allows traders in the regulated market to offer tariff options to their users.

 

In order to improve wholesale price formation, CREG is designing a new energy procurement scheme based on long term energy bids.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

Law 99 of 1993 provided the framework for environmental regulation and established the Ministry of the Environment as the authority for determining environmental policies.  The Ministry defines, issues and executes, policies and regulations that focus on the recovery, conservation, protection, organization, administration and use of renewable resources.  Therefore, 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 and the establishment of environmental management plans.  The law particularly seeks to prevent environmental damage by entities in the energy sector.  Any 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.

 

According to Law 99, generators which have a total installed nominal capacity above 10 MW are required to contribute to the conservation of the environment through a payment for their activities.  Hydroelectric power plants must pay 6% of their energy sales; thermoelectric plants must pay 4% of their energy sales.  This payment is made monthly to the municipalities and environmental corporations where these facilities are located.

Peru

 

Industry Structure

 

The main regulations of the Peruvian electricity industry are: the Law of Electricity Concessions (Decree Law 25,844) and its ancillary regulations, the Law to Secure the Efficient Development of Electricity Generation (Law 28,832), the Technical Regulation on the Quality of the Electricity Supply (Supreme Decree 020-97), the Electricity Import and Export Regulation (Supreme Decree 049-2005), the Antitrust Law on the Electricity Sector (Law 26,876), Law 26,734, which regulates the investments in energy, in addition to the supplementary Law 27,699 of the Energy and Mining Investment Supervisor Authority, or Osinergmin, the Peruvian regulatory electricity authority, and the regulation for resolution of controversies that arise within this institution.

 

Some of the characteristics of the regulatory framework are (i) the separation of the three main activities: generation, transmission and distribution; (ii) freedom of prices for the supply of energy in competitive market conditions; (iii) a system of regulated prices based on the principle of efficiency shared with a bidding regime; and (iv) private operation of the interconnected electricity systems subject to the principles of efficiency and quality of service.

 

There is one interconnected system, the SEIN, and several isolated regional and smaller systems that provide electricity to specific areas.

 

The Ministry of Energy and Mining, or the MINEM, defines the energy policies, regulates environment matters, and oversees the granting, supervision, maturity and termination of licenses, authorizations and concessions for generation, transmission, and distribution activities.

 

Osinergmin is an autonomous public regulatory entity that controls and enforces compliance with legal and technical regulations related to electrical and hydrocarbon activities, compliance of the obligations stated in the concession contracts, as well as the preservation of the environment in connection with the development of these activities.  Osinergmin’s Tariff Regulatory Bureau has the authority to publish the regulated tariffs.  The Committee of the Economic Operation of the System, or the COES, coordinates the operation and dispatch of electricity of the SEIN and prepares the technical and financial study that serves as a basis for the annual bus bar tariff calculations.  The COES includes as members the generation, transmission and distribution companies, as well as users with a capacity need higher than 1 MW, the threshold for non-regulated customers.

 

Service provided by electricity companies has to comply with technical standards, otherwise companies may be charged with fines imposed by Osinergmin.

 

Dispatch and Pricing

 

Customers with a monthly demand less than 0.2 MW are considered regulated customers, and their energy supply is defined as a public service.  Nevertheless, according to Law 28,832, regulated customers whose monthly demand is within 0.2 MW and 1.5 MW will be capable of choosing to be unregulated customers.  Customers whose demand is greater than 1.5 MW are considered unregulated customers.

 

The access to the spot market is permitted to generating and distribution companies, as well as to users with a contracted capacity in excess of 10 MW.

 

Transmission

 

Transmission lines are divided into principal, those for the common use and trading of all generators; or

 

78



Table of Contents

 

secondary, those lines that connect a power plant with the system or a substation with a distribution company or a final consumer. Law 28,832, enacted in 2006, defined also guaranteed and complementary systems applicable to projects commissioned after the enactment of that law.  Guaranteed lines are the result of a public bid and complementary lines are freely constructed and exploited as private projects.  The principal and guaranteed system lines are accessible to all generators and allow electricity to be delivered to all customers.  The transmission concessionaire receives an annual fixed income and receives tariff revenues and connection tolls reflecting a charge per kW.  The secondary and complementary system lines are accessible to all generators, but are used to serve only certain customers who are responsible for making payments related to their use of the system.

 

Distribution

 

The Efficient Development Law establishes a bidding regime for the acquisition of energy and capacity by distributors establishing a mechanism to determine prices during the life of a contract.  The approval of this mechanism is important to generators, because it establishes a mechanism for determining price for the duration of a contract that is not fixed by the regulator.

 

Sales to distribution companies for resale to regulated customers must be made at bus bar prices set by Osinergmin or at fixed prices determined by bids.  Bus bar prices are set annually.  Bus bar prices are the maximum prices for electricity purchased by distribution companies that can be transferred to regulated customers, except in the case of contracts entered into as a result of a public bid, where the prices that will be transferred to regulated customers will be the price defined in the bid.

 

The electricity tariff for regulated clients includes charges for capacity and energy for generation and transmission (bus bar prices) and for the VAD (value added by distribution), which considers a regulated return over capital investments, operating and maintenance fixed charges and a standard percentage for energy distribution losses.

 

Our subsidiary, Edelnor, submitted successfully two bids in 2008 and secured its supply contracts until 2011.

 

Concessions

 

A concession for electricity generation activity is required when a power plant has an installed capacity in excess of 500 kW.

 

A concession for electricity generation activity is an agreement between the generator and MINEM, while an authorization is merely a unilateral permit granted by the Ministry.  Authorizations and concessions are granted by MINEM  for an unlimited period of time, although their termination is subject to the same considerations and requirements as the termination of a concession under the procedures set forth in the Law of Electrical Concessions and related regulations.

 

Cogeneration Regulation

 

Supreme Decree 037/2006 establishes the basic rules for the use of the energy produced as a result of any industrial activity, i.e., cogeneration plants.  They are eligible to be part of the COES and trade their energy in the SEIN.  Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation of heat and power, in a single thermodynamic process.

Table of Contents

 

Environmental Regulation

 

The environmental legal framework applicable to energy related activities in Peru is set forth in the Environmental Law (Law 28,611) and in the Regulation for Environmental Protection regarding Electricity Activities (Supreme Decree 029-94-EM).  The MINEM dictates the specific environmental legal dispositions for the activities within the electricity industry, and the Osinergmin is in charge of supervising their application and implementation.  According to the Environmental Law, the Ministry of Environment is in charge of (i) designing the general environmental policies to every productive activity and (ii) establishing the main guidelines of the different government authorities on their specific environmental sector regulations, as its principal duties.

A significant damage to one or more of the main electricity generation facilities or interruption in the production of electricity, would have a material adverse effect on Enersis’ operations.  Enersis insures all of its electricity generation facilities against damage from earthquakes, fires, floods and other similar occurrences and 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, we believe that the risk of such an event is remote.  Claims under Enersis’ insurance policies are subject to customary deductibles and other conditions.  Enersis also maintains business interruption insurance which provides up to 18 months’ coverage for failure of any of its facilities, starting after the deductible period.

 

We also have significant interests or investments in electricity distribution.  The description of each distribution company is included in this “Item 4.  Information on the Company”.  The table set forth hereunder describes Enersis’ main equipment used for its distribution businesses, such as transmission lines, substations, distribution networks and transformers. Our distribution facilities are insured 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 protect 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.

 

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

Canela II wind farm includes the expansion of the existing 18 MW wind farm with the installation of additional 60 MW on an adjoining site.  Commercial operations are planned to begin by the end of 2009.

 

Chile: Quintero to Quillota Pipeline

 

The project was developed by Electrogas and involves the installation of a 28 kilometer pipeline to transport the natural gas that will be obtained in the LNG Receiving Terminal at Quintero.  The approval of the environmental authority has been obtained.  In 2007, we entered two contracts with GNLQ, one for the firm transportation of 15 million cubic meters daily from 2009 through 2029, and one for the interconnection between natural gas production and transport installations.  Construction was finished in February 2009 and the pipeline is expected to start commercial operations by mid 2009.

 

Chile: LNG Receiving Terminal at the Quintero Bay (“GNLQ”)

 

GNLQ, which is owned by British Gas (40%), ENAP (20%), Metrogas (20%) and Endesa Chile (20%), was incorporated in Chile on March 9, 2007.  GNLQ intends to develop, build, finance, own and operate an LNG regasification facility at Quintero Bay whereby LNG will be unloaded, stored and regasified.

 

The project is under construction by Chicago Bridge & Iron.  The commercial operation of the facility is guaranteed by the EPC contractor, with a first stage of 6 million cubic meters daily by mid 2009, and final LNG capacity of 9.6 million cubic meters daily (2.5 million tons per year), and two 160,000 cubic meters full containment LNG tanks, in 2010.

 

Chile: Bocamina Plant Expansion, Second Unit

 

Located in the district of Coronel, Bío-Bío Region, the project benefits from the existing harbor services, as well as some ancillary facilities of the first unit, built for coal storing and disposal of ashes.  This second unit will use pulverized coal and the latest technology for reduction of emissions.  Its installed capacity is estimated to be 370 MW.  Start-up of the project is planned for 2010.

 

Argentina:  Manuel Belgrano and José de San Martín Power Plant Projects

 

Two power plant projects are being developed by Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A. and Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A, both related to Endesa Chile through its subsidiaries, Endesa Costanera and El Chocón.  Each project consists of the installation of a combined cycle gas turbine of 823 MW, the first located next to Campana (80 kilometers north from Buenos Aires), and the second, in Timbúes (35 kilometers north of Rosario).  During 2008, both gas turbines started commercial operation in open cycle with natural gas.  A couple of months later they were also enabled to use gas oil as alternative fuel.  During 2008, Manuel Belgrano produced 435.9 GWh and Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A. 568.3 GWh.  Commercial operations under combined cycle are expected for the second half of 2009.

 

Peru: Santa Rosa Thermal Plant Expansion Project

 

This project consists of the expansion of the Santa Rosa 227 MW thermal plant by the construction of a gas turbine in open cycle. The new unit will have a capacity of approximately 188 MW and will use natural gas

from Camisea as fuel.  In January 2008, a turn-key contract was signed with Siemens Power Generation for its installation.  Start-up is planned for December 2009.

 

Projects under Development

 

Chile: Los Cóndores

 

The project is located in the Maule river’s basin, and consists of a hydroelectric power station of 150 MW that will use the water flows from the Maule reservoir, with a 4 kilometer long concrete pipe and 9 kilometer long tunnel.  During 2008, civil work and electromechanical equipment supply bidding processes were held.

 

Chile: Piruquina Mini-Hydro

 

Developed by Endesa Eco, the project is located in the island of Chiloé.  It consists of a run-of-river hydro plant which will use water flow from the Carihueico river. According to the feasibility study, the installed capacity will be 7.6 MW.  During 2008, we continued the preparation of Environmental Impact Study and basic engineering documentation, necessary to call for civil work and equipment bids.

 

Chile: Neltume and Choshuenco

 

The Neltume and Choshuenco projects are located in Los Ríos region, on the upper part of the Valdivia river’s basin.  The Neltume project consists of a 473 MW hydro plant with regulation in Lake Pirihueico.  The Choshuenco project uses the flows of the Llanquihue river at its source, at the junction with the Fuy and Neltume rivers, with the possibility of building a run-of-river hydro plant of 128 MW.

 

During 2008 there was progress in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study and basic engineering necessary to call for civil works and equipment bids.

 

Chile: HidroAysén

 

The HidroAysén hydropower project consists of five hydroelectric power stations, with an aggregate capacity of 2,750 MW, two stations in the Baker river (660 MW and 360 MW) and the other three in the Pascua river (500 MW, 770 MW and 460 MW).  Connection to the SIC electric grid consists of a nearly 2,000 kilometer, 500 kV high-voltage direct current transmission line, or “HVDC”.

 

On August 14, 2008, HidroAysén presented its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the Aysén Region’s Corema, beginning the formal evaluation process, which permitted certain work to start.  In October 2008, public hearings started, introducing the project in the relevant communities.

 

In November, HidroAysén received from Corema the consolidated report of requests for clarifications, and amendments for its EIA which includes extensive comments from public services and the community; subsequently HidroAysén requested a nine month extension of the deadline to answer such report.

 

Works at HidroAysén have been mainly concentrated in engineering and environmental studies.  The company developed direct contact with local communities through round table meetings, attended by residents and their representatives.

HidroAysén commissioned the design and route studies for the HVDC line that will carry the energy to the SIC, to Transelec, an unrelated transmission company.

 

Colombia: El Quimbo Hydroelectric Project

 

El Quimbo hydroelectric project will be located in the department of Huila, on the river Magdalena, upstream of the Betania power plant.  Its installed capacity will be 400 MW through two generator units.  Emgesa presented this project to the auction “subasta del cargo por confiabilidad”, or GPPS, and was awarded the right to offer firm energy from El Quimbo starting December 2014.

 

During 2008, the Ministry of the Environment made it possible to start the Environmental Impact Study.  Besides this, definitive pre-feasibility studies were completed and the basic design began.  The award of the contract for deviation works is expected for 2009, once the environmental license and building permission are approved.

Climate Change

 

The Company has been involved for a long time in efforts to develop non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) projects and committed to the reduction of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emissions.  These projects in Chile include the Canela I (in operation) and II (in construction) wind farms, and mini-hydro units, such as Ojos de Agua (in operation) and Piruquina (in evaluation by the environmental authorities).  These power stations and projects are the first step to develop similar environmentally-friendly power plants in the rest of the countries in which we operate.

 

NCRE power stations and projects not only provide clean energy, but also allow the Company to trade so-called “carbon bonds” in the international market, associated with greenhouse gases (“GHG”).  The Ojos de Agua mini-hydro power station was registered as a Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) in April 2007 in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Canela I wind farm was registered in April 2009.  As of the date of this Report, an independent consultant is verifying the amount of tons of CO2 equivalent associated with the Ojos de Agua plant for its initial period during the second semester of 2008, in order to allow the Company to trade those emissions. The estimated amount for this period is 8,000 tons of CO2 equivalent; however, going forward, we estimate 20,870 tons of CO2 equivalent per year.  Since Canela I was not registered as CDM in 2008, it is in the process of verifying and then trading the tons of CO2 equivalent for 2008 in the open market.  The estimated amount for Canela I in 2008 is 18,000 tons of CO2 equivalent.

 

The Company is also aware that hydroelectric generation is the cleanest source of electricity for the environment in Chile.  Approximately 62% of the Company’s consolidated installed capacity is hydroelectric while in Chile hydroelectricity represents 71% of our installed capacity.  Additionally, the Company is actively involved in developing new power stations based on hydroelectric capacity, such as Chile’s HidroAysén, that will have an installed capacity of 2,750 MW and Colombia’s El Quimbo, with a projected installed capacity of 400 MW.

 

The CO2 (GHG) emissions of the Company for the three years ended December 31, 2008, were 7.6 million tons in 2006, 11.5 million tons in 2007 and 11.6 million tons in 2008.

 

Major Encumbrances

 

Chile

 

Pangue executed a first mortgage on the property where its power plant is located, including the water rights and the concession to establish the power plant.  There is also a lien on the electricity lines, machinery and equipment of the power plant.  Both include the prohibition to sell, transfer or further encumber such assets.  The value of the pledged assets was Ch$ 107 billion as of December 31, 2008.  These encumbrances and prohibitions guarantee the obligations of Pangue with its lenders: Export Development Canada and Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau.

 

The GNLQ project required the sponsors, including Endesa Chile, to pledge their GNLQ’s shares as guarantee for the lenders.

Item 5.   Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

 

A.            Operating Results

 

Introduction

 

We own and operate electric power generation, transmission, and distribution companies in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.  Most of our revenues, income, and cash flow come from the operations of our subsidiaries and equity affiliates in these five countries.

 

Factors such as regulatory developments, economic conditions and hydrologic conditions in each country in which we operate are important in determining our financial results.  In addition, the results from operations and financial condition are affected by variations in exchange rates between the dollar and the peso and the currencies of the other four countries in which we operate.  Such exchange rate variations may have a significant non-cash effect due to Chilean GAAP’s Technical Bulletin No.64, or BT 64, “Accounting for Permanent Foreign Investments” as it relates to the consolidation of the results of our companies outside of Chile.  Lastly, our other critical accounting policies also have an effect on our consolidated results from operations.

 

Regulatory Developments

 

The regulatory structure governing our business has a material effect on our results from operations.  In particular, regulators in the countries where we operate set (i) distribution tariffs taking into account the costs of energy purchases paid by distribution companies (which distribution companies pass on to their customers) and the “Value Added from Distribution,” or VAD, and (ii) generation tariffs taking into consideration principally

 

93



Table of Contents

 

the costs of fuels, reservoir levels, exchange rates, 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 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 on the regulatory frameworks in the countries where we operate, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework”.

 

Economic Conditions

 

Macroeconomic conditions 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 losses decrease.  Other macroeconomic factors such as devaluation of the local currency may have a negative impact on our results from operations because although most of our revenues are denominated in the currency of the countries in which we operate, our financing costs and other important costs such as depreciation are denominated in dollars.  As a result, devaluation of local currencies against the dollar shrinks our operating margins and increases the cost of capital expenditure plans.  For additional information, see “Item 3.  Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Exchange rate risks may have a negative impact on our results from operations and financial situation” and—“Fluctuations in South American economies may affect our operating results.”

 

Hydrologic Conditions: Generation Business

 

In 2008, 65% of our generation business depended upon the hydrologic 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 to cover any shortfalls experienced by our hydroelectric plants due to insufficient water resources.  In our generation business, we are in a position to offset, through thermal generation and purchases, the impact of physical and monetary sales resulting from poor hydrologic conditions (low reservoirs levels, rain and snowfall) in the geographical areas where our generating plants operate.  Our thermal generation capacity and its ability to purchase electricity from other generating companies enable us to boost thermal generation and/or electricity purchases from the competition in order to satisfy our commitments.  Additionally, given the industry structure and the percentage of hydroelectric power generation capacity in the countries where we operate, when hydrologic conditions are poor, the market price of electricity generally increases, which could potentially lead to greater revenue for the company.

 

Operating costs of thermal generation and electricity purchases are greater than the variable cost incurred by the company for hydroelectric generation.  The cost of thermal generation does not depend directly on water levels, but the cost of electricity purchases on the spot market does.  For additional information regarding the effects of hydrologic conditions on our results from operations, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — “Risk Relating to Our Operations.”

 

Chilean GAAP: Technical Bulletin No. 64 (BT 64)

 

Consolidation of the results of our non-Chilean subsidiaries was governed by BT 64 through the year ended December 31, 2008.  BT 64 establishes a mechanism to consolidate the financial results of a non-Chilean company prepared in its local non-Chilean GAAP and denominated in its local currency into the financial results of its Chilean parent company, which are prepared in Chilean GAAP and denominated in pesos.  BT 64

 

94



Table of Contents

 

affects the reporting of our results from operations.  In particular, exchange rate variations, if significant, can materially affect the operating revenues and expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements in Chilean GAAP and may trigger non-operating gains and losses.  As of January 1, 2009 we are adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As a result the accounting effect of BT 64 will no longer be recorded as an adjustment to our results from operations.

 

BT 64—Conversion Effect

 

BT 64 requires Enersis to convert the denomination of the financial statements of its non-Chilean subsidiaries from local currency to dollars and to restate such financial statements in Chilean GAAP after such conversion, including the conversion of those dollar amounts into pesos.  We refer to the gain or loss resulting from this balance sheet conversion as the “conversion effect.” In order to convert the monetary assets and liabilities of its non-Chilean subsidiaries into dollars, Enersis must use the dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at period-end.  In order to convert into dollars Enersis’ equity interests in such subsidiaries as well as such subsidiaries’ non-monetary assets and liabilities, Enersis must use the dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at the time when such equity interests or non-monetary assets or liabilities were acquired or incurred.

 

In addition, BT 64 requires income and expense accounts (except for expenses incurred in connection with depreciation and amortization) of foreign subsidiaries to be converted into dollars at the average exchange rate of the month during which such results or expenses were booked.  All amounts converted from local currency into dollars are then converted from dollars into pesos at the exchange rate applicable at the end of the reporting period.  When both local currencies and the peso depreciate or appreciate against the dollar, the BT 64 conversion effect is inversely related to such respective movements and will have a lesser net effect than it would if it were expressed in the aggregate.  If the local currency and the peso diverge in their appreciation or depreciation against the dollar, as the case might be, application of BT 64 to each movement under Chilean GAAP is directly related and will have a greater effect than it would otherwise have.

 

BT 64 may cause to exclude, from our reported financial condition, the effect devaluation has on non-monetary assets in the countries in which our subsidiaries and investments are located.

 

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

 

BT 64—Equity Hedge

 

BT 64 permits a company to hedge dollar-denominated debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of equity in non-Chilean subsidiaries located in unstable countries, against the book value of such equity investments.  For purposes of BT 64, all the countries where we have investments—Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru—are considered unstable countries.  This hedge eliminates 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 dollar-denominated debt, the results of the exchange rate fluctuations affecting the amount of

 

95



Table of Contents

 

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 dollar denominated debt, 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 FR-60 encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of 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 and does not allow for management’s judgment to enter into its application.  For a summary of significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of financial statements, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plants and equipment and other long-lived assets to determine impairment in relation to the recoverable value (calculated on the basis of operating performance and future non-discounted cash flows of the underlying business), assessed individually for each entity to determine the possibility of an impairment.  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.  An impairment is recorded based on a “useful value,” which is the present value of future cash flows as they compare to current carrying amounts.  The most relevant estimates made in determining the recoverability of long-lived assets depend on expectations surrounding the company’s business plan, including macroeconomic framework and assumptions regarding GDP growth, inflation and interest rates, growth estimates for energy demand, estimated installed capacity, hydrology, regulations and frameworks governing tariffs, fixed and variable costs, etc, all of which have an important impact on the calculations.

 

Impairment of our property, plants and equipment and other long-lived assets may have a material negative impact on our operating profit in any period, depending on the outcome of impairment tests.  For years ending on December 31st, 2008, 2007 and 2006, management concluded that the book value of our assets did not exceed their carrying value.  Given certain key economic factors subject to fluctuations, climatic conditions and global prices of fuels used in energy production, it is likely that the expected operating conditions may change significantly from period to period.

 

Impairment of Goodwill

 

Under Chilean GAAP, accounting treatment of goodwill requires management to estimate an adequate goodwill amortization period and assess recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill in situations where there may be a loss.  The maximum amortization period permitted for goodwill under Chilean GAAP is 20 years.  The following factors are taken into account when estimating the appropriate goodwill amortization period:

 

96



Table of Contents

 

·                  Expected useful life of the business and expectations regarding future benefits associated with the business or unidentifiable assets;

 

·                  Expected actions to be taken by existing and prospective competitors; and

 

·                  Legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that may have an impact on useful life.

 

An assessment on the recoverability of goodwill is conducted systematically at the end of each year or more frequently if deemed necessary after the initial assessment.

 

We have used the “useful value” when calculating recoverability of goodwill.  Forecasts of future cash flows before taxes are determined on the basis of macroeconomic frameworks that take into account GDP growth estimates, inflation, interest and exchange rates, anticipated growth in energy demand, forecasts of installed capacity, hydrology, regulatory and tariff frameworks, variable and fixed costs, etc., all of which have a material impact on the calculation.  Accordingly, calculations include the best possible cost and revenue estimates for the various companies, using industrial forecasts, past experience and future expectations for upcoming years, in addition to reasonable growth rates for those years.

 

Based on the outcome of these estimates for the various cash generating units, management believes that as of December 31, 2008, the goodwill recorded will be entirely recoverable in the future.

 

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, 2008, we have come to an estimate of the likely costs for the resolution of these claims.  We arrived at this estimate in consultation with legal and tax counsel handling our defense in these matters and an analysis on potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies.

 

Except for the case of the material proceedings described in Note 30 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, as of December 31, 2008 we do not know when these legal or tax proceedings will come to an end.

 

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits Liabilities

 

We sponsor several benefit plans for our employees.  These plans pay benefits to employees at retirement using formulas based on employee 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.  The accounting applied to these benefit plans involves actuarial calculations, which contain key assumptions, including: employee turnover, life expectancy 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.

 

The following table shows the effect of a 1% decrease in the discount rate on our projected benefit obligation for the periods indicated.

Generation Business: Operating Revenues

 

Total 2008 revenues in Chile increased by 31.8% in 2008 to Ch$ 1,360.7 billion as a result of greater average sales prices (both regulated and non-regulated) compared to 2007.  These improved results reflect the Chilean system’s higher generating costs.  In addition, physical sales increased by 3.1% to 19,808 GWh, triggered by a 36.5% increase of the spot market for a total of 3,317 GWh.  Endesa Chile’s average sales price in Chile increased by 41.9% as measured in pesos, from Ch$ 49.9 per kWh in 2007 to Ch$ 70.9 per kWh in 2008.

 

In Argentina, Costanera’s revenues increased by Ch$ 71.1 billion, or 31.2%, primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect, which resulted from the net impact of a 2.1% depreciation of the Argentine peso and a 21.9% depreciation of the Chilean peso vis-à-vis the dollar, which resulted in an additional Ch$ 34.6 billion in revenues. In 2008, average sales prices, as measured in local currency, rose by 11.4% and physical sales grew by 1.1%, for a total of 8,543.4 GWh.

 

In Argentina, El Chocón’s revenues fell by 11.0%, or of Ch$ 6.6 billion, primarily due to a 35.4% drop in physical sales as a result of lower reservoir levels and poor hydrologic conditions in the Comahue region, which was offset in part by a 22.0% increase in the average sales price in local currency.  The BT 64 conversion effect increased revenues in Chilean pesos by Ch$ 9.2 billion.

 

In Colombia, Emgesa’s revenues increased by Ch$ 146.8 billion, or 42.4%, primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect, which increased revenues by Ch$ 83.9 billion due a 5.6% appreciation of the average Colombian peso in 2008 and a 21.9% depreciation of the Chilean peso.  Furthermore, there was a 755 GWh increase (4.8% compared to 2007) in physical sales during the period along with an 11.0% increase in average sales prices as expressed in local currency.

Table of Contents

 

In Brazil, Cachoeira Dourada’s revenue increased  by Ch$ 56.1 billion or 44.7%. The change is primarily due to the effect of converting to Chilean GAAP under BT 64 because of average Brazilian reais/dollar exchange rates and the devaluation of the Chilean peso, which resulted in an additional Ch$ 31.2 billion in revenue and a 23.6% increase in the average sales price during the period.  The latter is offset in part by a 5.2% drop in physical sales for a total of 4,403 GWh sold.

 

In Brazil, Endesa Fortaleza’s revenues grew by Ch$ 25.9 billion or 23.0% mainly due to the effect of converting to Chilean GAAP under BT 64, which resulted in Ch$ 28.0 billion in additional revenue, partially offset by a 3.8% decrease in the average sales price in local currency.  Physical sales dropped 0.6 % to 2,690.1 GWh.

 

In Peru, Edegel revenues increased by Ch$ 64.8 billion, or 35.5%, primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect as a result of a 7.0% appreciation of the Peruvian sol against the dollar, in addition to a 21.9% devaluation of the Chilean peso against the dollar, resulting in Ch$ 47.2 billion in additional revenue.  Physical energy sales increased by 5.8% totaling 8,461 GWh, and the average sales price in local currency dropped 4.7%

 

Transmission Business: Operating Revenues

 

Revenue from CIEN in 2008 were Ch$ 93.2 billion, a 1.9% decrease from 2007.  In 2008, CIEN signed an agreement with Cammesa to supply energy to Argentina, and is currently waiting for the Ministry of Mining and Energy and ANEEL to define the directives concerning fixed compensation.

 

Distribution Business: Operating Revenues

 

In Chile, Chilectra’s 2008 operating revenues increased 23.6%, primarily due to greater average prices related with increases in the node price.  Energy demand decreased by 2.9% compared to 2007.  The decrease in demand, compared to a 4.9% increase in demand in 2007, was triggered by measures taken by the Chilean government in the first quarter 2008 to prevent a potential energy shortage in Chile.  These actions included the reduction in voltage until August 2008, which encouraged generators and regulated customers to limit consumption and media campaigns.  Physical sales amounted to 12,535 GWh with a 3% decrease from the previous fiscal year and a 3.4% increase in the number of customers (50,626 additional customers).  On January 9, 2008, the government issued Decree 320 setting forth sub transmission tariffs and indexation formulas, effective as of January 13, 2009.  These tariffs were not retroactive and therefore resulted in a Ch$ 25.1 billion reversal in the provision held by Chilectra during fiscal year 2008.

 

Income from non-energy related sources, related services, and electrical equipment sales increased by Ch$ 10.4 billion or 14.2%, to Ch$ 83.7 billion in 2008, compared to Ch$ 73.3 billion in 2007, primarily due to more network transfers and the construction of underground connections.

 

In Argentina, Edesur’s  operating revenues increased by Ch$ 96.9 billion or 30.3% compared to 2007, primarily due to a increase in the VAD adopted in July 2008 and a 2.1% increase in physical sales.  Average per capita consumption increased by 0.5% and the total number of customers rose by 1.6% (an additional 34,489 customers).  Furthermore, the BT 64 conversion effect added Ch$ 48.6 billion in revenues in Chilean pesos.

 

In Brazil, Ampla’s revenues increased by Ch$ 263.2 billion or 43.8%, primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect which resulted in Ch$ 149.4 billion in additional revenue.  Physical sales increased by 1.5% to 9,119 GWh, as did the number of customers, which increased by 87,878 or 3.7%, to 2.5 million, along with a 9.7% increase in the average sales price in local currency. Income from ancillary services and electricity equipment sales increased by Ch$ 12.7 billion or 94.6%, to Ch$ 26.1 billion in 2008, primarily due to new grid connections and meter sales.

 

In Brazil, Coelce’s revenues increased by 38.4% primarily as a result of the BT 64 conversion effect which resulted in an increase in revenues by Ch$ 119.2 billion.  Average sales prices in local currency and physical

sales increased  2.0% and 4.8%, respectively.  Other revenues increased by Ch$ 12.3 billion primarily as a result of higher electricity and non-electricity equipment sales carried out by Coelce Plus, a division which develop services such as energy efficiency, maintenance and installations for corporate customers.  The number of Coelce’s clients increased by 5.7%, from 2.7 million customers in 2007 to 2.8 million in 2008.

 

In Colombia, Codensa’s 2008 revenues increased by 45.7%, or Ch$ 259.7 billion, due to a 3.3% rise in physical sales to 11,822 GWh, a 12.3% increase in the average sales price in local currency, and the effect of BT 64 conversion, which led to Ch$ 137.6 billion in additional revenues as a result of the appreciation of the Colombian peso and a 21.9% devaluation of the Chilean peso.  An additional Ch$ 67.6 billion in other operating income was mainly generated by Codensa Hogar, Codensa’s insurance and credit division.  The number of Codensa’s clients increased by 3.4% to 2.3 million in 2008 while average per capita electricity consumption remained stable at 5,200 kWh per year.

 

In Peru, operating revenues of our subsidiary Distrilima, which consolidates Edelnor, increased 34.1% in 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to a 7.7% increase in physical sales, which totaled 5,599 GWh and to the BT 64 conversion effect, resulting in Ch$ 60.5 billion in additional revenues.  The total number of customers increased to 41,289 (a 4.2% increase) and average per capita consumption increased by 3.3%.  Income from ancillary services, increased by Ch$ 2.6 billion or 15.5%, to Ch$ 19.1 billion in 2008, compared to Ch$ 16.5 billion in 2007, primarily due to increased maintenance and improvement of the electric network.

 

Non-Electricity Subsidiaries: Operating Revenues

 

Revenues from non-electricity subsidiaries grew by Ch$ 50.7 billion or 18.1% compared to 2007, due to an additional Ch$ 42.4 billion in revenues from CAM, due to higher sales of materials and services by Ch$ 37.6 billion, and Ch$ 14.3 billion in additional revenues booked by Synapsis, partially offset by a Ch$ 12.6 billion decrease in IMV’s results, due to a decrease in property sales related with the ENEA project.

Generation Business: Operating Costs

 

Operating costs in Chile rose 21.3% in 2008 compared to 2007 totaling Ch$ 786.7 billion, in great part due to a Ch$ 144.4 billion increase in fuel costs given increased use of oil-fired thermal generation and the high market prices for this fuel in 2008.  The latter was partially offset by Ch$ 10.1 billion lower toll costs and Ch$ 8.3 billion lower in energy purchases due to a 647 GWh decrease in physical purchases triggered by a 982 GWh increase in production during the period.  The latter was offset in part by higher prices for energy purchases.

 

Operating costs in our subsidiary Costanera in Argentina increased by Ch$ 63.8 billion, or 28.4%.   This is largely due to the BT 64 conversion effect, resulting from the net effect of a 2.1% depreciation of the Argentine peso and a 21.9% depreciation of the Chilean peso vis-à-vis the dollar, which resulted in  Ch$ 34.6 billion in

higher costs, plus additional fuel purchases during the period.  El Chocón’s operating costs increased by Ch$ 8.7 billion, or 27.2%, mostly due to the effect of converting Ch$ 5.1 billion to Chilean GAAP under BT 64 and additional physical purchases of 354 GWh, due to low reservoirs levels from March to August 2008.

 

In Colombia, Emgesa’s operating costs increased by Ch$ 56.9 billion, or 34.2%, mainly due to the effect of BT 64 conversion resulting of a 5.6% appreciation of the average Colombian peso in 2008 and a 21.9% devaluation of the Chilean peso, which resulted in Ch$ 38.0 billion in additional costs.  Emgesa also had Ch$ 6.4 billion in additional fuel costs, due to increased levels of thermal generation and the high price of oil, as well as a Ch$ 17.7 billion increase in tolls and energy transportation.

 

Operating costs of Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil decreased by 3.4% to Ch$ 2.3 billion in 2008.  The decrease is due to Ch$ 18.9 billion less expenses for energy purchases given the lower purchase price, which was partially offset by the effect of converting to Chilean GAAP under BT 64 because of the appreciation of the reais against the dollar and the devaluation of the Chilean peso, which meant an additional Ch$ 15.8 billion in costs.

 

Operating costs of Endesa Fortaleza  in Brazil increased by Ch$ 33.7 billion, or 54.0%, mostly due to the effect of converting to Chilean GAAP under BT 64 due to the appreciation of the reais against the dollar and the devaluation of the Chilean peso, which meant an additional Ch$ 15.2 billion in costs, as well as higher expenses in energy purchases given the higher average purchasing price, which grew 48.9% in 2008.

 

Operating costs in Peru increased by Ch$ 58.9 billion, or 48.2%, largely due to the conversion effect to Chilean GAAP under BT 64, which resulted in Ch$ 28.8 billion in higher costs, in addition to an increase in the cost of energy purchases and higher fuel expenses, given the increase in using thermal generation during the period, for a total of Ch$ 29.3 billion.

 

Transmission Business: Operating Costs

 

In Brazil, CIEN’s operating costs for 2008 were  Ch$ 27.6 billion, down 57.6% from 2007, primarily due to Ch$ 43.6 billion less in energy purchase costs resulting from a change in the line of business, from trading to transportation.  The latter was partially offset by the BT 64 conversion effect on CIEN as a result of the appreciation of the reais against the dollar and the devaluation of the Chilean peso vis-à-vis the dollar, which resulted in additional Ch$ 15.2 billion in costs.

 

Distribution Business: Operating Costs

 

Operating costs in Chile increased by Ch$ 169.9 billion, or 24.7%, in 2008, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with energy purchases that rose by Ch$ 162.2 billion. The rise in energy purchase costs can be explained by an increase in the average price of purchases of 48.2% due to an increase in the node price paid to generators.  Furthermore, an increase in the final price of energy led to both lower consumption and higher energy thefts, which in turn explained an increase in the level of physical energy losses, from 5.9% in 2007 to 6.0% in 2008, despite efforts and investments carried out by Chilectra in 2008.

 

Operating costs for Edesur, in Argentina, increased by Ch$ 68.2 billion, or 28.1%. This is primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect which led to Ch$ 37.8 billion in greater costs in Chilean pesos.  There was a 3.6% increase in the average energy purchase cost in local currency, Ch$ 10.1 billion in extra personnel expenses, and Ch$ 12.2 billion more in third-party services.  Physical losses declined from 10.7% in 2007 to 10.6% in 2008.

Operating costs for Ampla, in Brazil, increased by Ch$ 191.8 billion, or 46.3%.  The BT 64 conversion effect led to Ch$ 100.4 billion in higher costs in Chilean pesos, plus an additional 167 GWh in physical purchases and a 12.7% increase in the average energy purchase price in local currency during this period.  Physical losses declined from 21.4% in 2007 to 20.2% in 2008.

 

In Brazil, Coelce’s operating costs increased by Ch$ 133.8 billion or 39.0% in 2008, mainly due to the BT 64 conversion effect which resulted in Ch$ 82.4 billion in additional costs in Chilean pesos, plus an additional 318 GWh in physical energy sales amounting to 8,575 GWh in 2008, as well as a 5.3% increase in the average price of energy purchased in local currency.  Energy losses declined to 11.7% in 2008 from 12.5% in 2007.

 

Operating costs for Codensa in Colombia increased by 43.1% in fiscal year 2008 primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect of Ch$ 89.4 billion in greater costs in Chilean pesos.  In addition, the company recorded an additional 327 GWh in energy purchases in order to satisfy growing demand, and the average purchase price in local currency increased 16.3%.  Physical energy losses amounted to 8.1% in 2008, compared to 8.7% in 2006.

 

Operating costs for Edelnor, in Peru, increased by Ch$ 50.9 billion or 30.7%. This is primarily due to the BT 64 conversion effect which led to Ch$ 41.9 billion in higher operating costs in Chilean pesos.  There was an increase in physical energy sales due to a 7.8% increase in demand 2008 to 6,100 GWh.  Physical losses increased from 8.1% in 2007 to 8.2% in 2008.

 

Non-Electricity Subsidiaries: Operating Costs

 

Operating costs for our non-electricity subsidiaries increased by Ch$ 45.4 billion, or 20.5%, in 2008, primarily due to Ch$ 41.3 billion and Ch$ 8.3 billion in higher costs at CAM and Synapsis, respectively, resulting from a rise in the selling cost of materials and services in 2008.

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by 0.4% as a result of the higher level of debt during the year, primarily at our Colombian subsidiary Codensa, and also due to higher interest rates affecting at our Brazilian subsidiaries Ampla, Coelce and CIEN—partially offset by Ch$ 5.4 billion in lower interest expenses at Edesur (Argentina), resulting of  revaluation of service quality fines’ , and also due to higher interest incomes resulting from an increase in short-term deposits and financial instruments.

 

Related companies’ income increased by Ch$ 57.3 billion, primarily due to Ch$ 58.3 billion less in losses at GasAtacama, which included a non-recurring impairment provision for Ch$ 53.2 billion in 2007 resulting of the shortage of natural gas from Argentina and the higher generation costs experienced in 2007, partially offset by Ch$ 0.8 billion higher losses incurred by HidroAysén and Ch$ 0.5 billion incurred by GNLQ.

 

Other non-operating income (expense) decreased by Ch$ 291.6 billion mostly due to:

 

·                  An additional Ch$ 362.1 billion in net income (Ch$ 136.0 billion, net of minority interest) resulting from the conversion to Chilean standards, as a result of applying BT 64, primarily at our Brazilian and Colombian subsidiaries.

·                  A reversal of Ch$ 40.6 billion in sub-transmission provision.

·                  Ch$ 10.0 billion fewer expenses related to the Colombian tax on equity, due to the equity decrease and significant dividend payments.

 

The aforementioned was partially offset by:

 

·                  A non-recurrence of Ch$ 43.6 billion in higher non-operating income in 2007 derived from that same year’s reversal of provisions for contingencies and litigation, among others, primarily at CIEN and Ampla.

·                  A non-recurring tariff adjustments in previous fiscal years in Edesur for a total amount of Ch$ 30.3 billion, booked in first quarter 2007.

Table of Contents

 

·                  Higher tax expenses in Chile (stamp taxes) and in Peru (capital gains tax) for closing of our Cayman Islands’ branches and the dissolution of ConoSur, for a total amount of Ch$ 23.1 billion.

·                  Fewer revenues at CIEN for having liquidated its contract with CEMSA for Ch$ 8.9 billion, recorded in 2007.

·                  Higher expenses for energy and capacity adjustments for Ch$ 6.2 billion.

 

Monetary correction restatement recorded a negative change of Ch$ 12.3 billion, mainly due to the effect of higher inflation rate in Chile of 8.9% compared to 7.4% in 2007.  This change also has an impact on both monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities (primarily UF denominated bonds), as well as impacting updated income accounts.

 

Exchange rate difference for the period ending on December 31, 2008 increased by Ch$ 8.9 billion, from a positive Ch$ 7.4 billion in 2007 to a positive Ch$ 16.3 billion in 2008, as a result of an active mismatch in dollars in both periods and a derivatives-based hedge policy, in addition to variations in the dollar/peso parity.  In the previous period, the exchange rate dropped Ch$ 35.5, from Ch$ 532.39 to Ch$ 496.89, while in 2008 increased Ch$ 139.56 from Ch$ 496.89 to Ch$ 636.45.

Income tax expense increased by Ch$ 128.0 billion, which is primarily explained by the higher income tax provisions of our subsidiaries Emgesa (Ch$ 42.2 billion), Codensa (Ch$ 24.5 billion), Ampla (Ch$ 20.3 billion), Endesa Chile (Ch$ 15.3 billion), Pehuenche (Ch$ 13.9 billion), Pangue (Ch$ 6.5 billion), Chilectra (Ch$ 6.0 billion), Edelnor (Ch$ 3.9 billion) and Edesur (Ch$ 3.7 billion).  This was partially compensated by fewer taxes at CIEN (Ch$ 6.7 billion), El Chocón (Ch$ 6.1 billion) and Enersis (individual basis) (Ch$ 3.0 billion).

Table of Contents

 

Non Cash deferred tax expense, increased by Ch$ 47.2 billion primarily due to the effect booked by Enersis on a stand alone basis of (Ch$ 27.8 billion), Chilectra (Ch$ 24.9 billion), Coelce (Ch$ 13.2 billion), CIEN (Ch$ 11.6 billion), San Isidro (Ch$ 6.0 billion), and Edelnor (Ch$ 3.7 billion).  This was partially compensated by the negative variation in Edegel (Ch$ 9.4 billion), Ampla Investimento (Ch$ 9.2 billion), Codensa (Ch$ 5.9 billion) and Edesur (Ch$ 5.6 billion).

 

Minority interest increased by Ch$ 414.3 billion for a total of Ch$ 697.0 billion, due to a significant increase in the results of some of our subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, including: Ch$ 93.3 billion in Endesa Chile; Ch$ 85.0 billion in Emgesa; Ch$ 75.3 billion in Codensa; Ch$ 48.0 billion in Endesa Brasil; Ch$ 49.6 billion in Coelce; Ch$ 17.8 billion in Edegel, and Ch$ 13.5 billion in Ampla.  The increase was partially offset by a Ch$ 3.8 billion decrease in El Chocón and a Ch$ 3.1 billion decrease in Edesur.  See Note 21.b of our financial statements for additional information.

 

The gain from amortization of negative goodwill increased by Ch$ 1.4 billion 2008.  The amortization gain is primarily due to the effect of a higher dollar/peso exchange rate.  The dollar constitutes the currency in which negative goodwill is carried in foreign companies.

 

As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated net income increased by Ch$ 365.7 billion, or 178.3%, for a total amount of Ch$ 570.8 billion in 2008.

Distribution business

 

Our distribution operating revenues mainly arise from the sale of the electricity that we buy from generators.  Revenues associated with distribution include the recovery of the cost of electricity bought wholesale from generating companies and revenues generated by the Valor Agregado de Distribución (Added Value from Distribution), or VAD, which corresponds to the recovery of the costs and the return on the investment with respect to the distribution assets, plus the losses allowed under tariff regulations.  Other revenues generated by our distribution services consist of charges related to new connections and the maintenance and rental of meters.

 

The following table details the distribution of physical electricity sales by our subsidiaries, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Operating revenues of the generation business

 

Total revenues in Chile in 2007 increased by 39.7% from Ch$738.7 billion in 2006 to Ch$1,032.2 billion in 2007, as a result of higher regulated prices and spot prices, on average.  Endesa Chile and its Chilean subsidiaries sold 2,430 GWh on the spot market, where the average energy market price was $187.9 per MWh.  The decline in physical sales was 8.2%, mainly resulting from a 51.3% decrease in energy sales to the spot market, partially compensated by a 6.9% increase of energy sales to regulated customers to 11,502 GWh, at a node price which is the result of a price-setting system that reflects the new energy matrix in Chile.  The prices for non-regulated customers, during 2007 compared with 2006, showed an increase in value, which positively affected the company’s revenues, reflecting the higher costs of generation of the system.  The total average sales price of Endesa Chile’s in Chile increased by 58.3%, from Ch$33.3 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$52.8 per kWh in 2007.

 

In Argentina, operating revenues for Costanera rose by 12.1%.  This was mainly due to a 35.5% increase in sales prices in local currency terms as a result of the recognition of higher costs related to fuel prices.  This was partially offset by a fall in physical energy sales of Costanera, which declined by 3.3% in 2007.  The effect of the BT64 conversion, as a result of a 1.3% depreciation of the Argentine peso, increased further by the 7.1% appreciation of the peso against the dollar in real terms in 2007, resulted in Ch$29.5 billion of reduced revenues.

 

The revenues for El Chocón decreased by 15.9%, mainly due to the 23.8% reduction in physical sales because of the dryer hydrology in the Comahue region, partly compensated by a 28.9% increase in the average sales price.  The effect of the BT64 conversion decreased revenues by Ch$10.2 billion.

 

Total revenues in Colombia (Emgesa) increased by 8.2%, primarily due to the new reliability charge which became effective in 2007 and positively affected revenues by approximately $43.6 million.  The sales mix in 2007 at regulated, non-regulated and spot prices was 51.5%, 16.0% and 32.5%, respectively.  Our Colombian subsidiaries average price rose by 6.2%, from Ch$20.8 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$22.1 per kWh in 2007, expressed in pesos, in accordance with BT 64.  When expressed in local currency, the nominal average sales price increase was 13.8% in 2007.

 

In Brazil, the revenues for Cachoeira Dourada increased by 71.5%, mainly due to an increase of 11.2% in physical sales which reached 4,643 GWh, and 15.1% higher sales prices, in local currency terms.  The effect of the application of the BT64 conversion, which used an average exchange rate for the Reais against the dollar, which was then converted into Chilean pesos based on the year-end exchange rate as a result of the 7.1% appreciation of the peso against the dollar in real terms in 2007, compensated partly by the 11.7% appreciation of the real, resulted in Ch$3.6 billion of increased revenue.

 

Operating revenues of Endesa Fortaleza in 2007 declined by 3.9%, mainly because of a 2.1% fall in the average sales price in local currency, partially offset by the 0.6% increase in physical sales, to 2,705 GWh.  The

effect of BT64 was Ch$3.5 billion of reduced revenues.

 

Revenues of Edegel, our electricity generator in Peru,  decreased by 7.3% in 2007, primarily due to a 21.6% lower average sales price, which offset the 18.1% increase of physical energy sales.  The drop in average prices was a consequence of the good hydrology and the reduction of the regulated price due to the indexation to the exchange and to the lower price of natural gas.  The sales mix at regulated, non-regulated and spot prices was 41.7%, 53% and 5.3%, respectively.  The company’s average sales price declined from Ch$28.9 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$22.7 per kWh in 2007, expressed in pesos according to the convention of BT 64.  The effect of the BT64 conversion, using the average exchange rate for the Peruvian sol against the dollar and then converting to pesos at the year-end exchange rate, as a result of the 7.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar in real terms, partly compensated by the 4.7% appreciation of the Peruvian sol against the dollar, resulted in Ch$17.6 billion of reduced revenues.  When expressed in local currency, the nominal average sales price decreased by 13.1% in 2007.

 

Operating revenues of the transmission business

 

The revenues for CIEN in 2007 were Ch$95.0 billion, showing a rise of 43.5% compared to 2006.  The previous is product of the change of business from trading energy to transport of energy. There were additional energy sales from Brazil to Argentina, and consequently, our new toll fee reached Ch$38.6 billion.

 

Operating revenues of the distribution business

 

In Chile, operating revenues of Chilectra in 2007 increased by 12.4% in relation to 2006, mainly because average energy-related prices increased by 24.3% due to successive rises in the node price.  There was also a 4.4% rise in physical sales, to 12,923 GWh.  Revenues from non-energy sources, related to ancillary services and sales of electrical appliances, increased by Ch$15.9 billion, or 27.7%, to Ch$73.3 billion in 2007, compared to Ch$57.4 billion in 2006, mainly the result of more network transfers and construction of underground junctions.  The increase in physical sales is attributed to the 1.2% increase in average per capita consumption in Chilectra’s concession area, and to the increase of 45,859, or 3.2%, in the total number of customers.

 

In Argentina, operating revenues of Edesur increased in 2007 by 10.0% in relation to 2006, mainly due to the 34.2% increase in the average sales price in local currency, as a result of the increase in the VAD approved in February 2007 and a 6.7% increase in physical sales.  Average per capita consumption increased by 5.2% and the total number of customers increased by 31,828, or 1.4%.  This is partially compensated for by the effect of the BT64 conversion in 2007 that represents Ch$41.6 billion of reduced revenues in Chilean pesos.

 

In Peru, the operating revenues for our subsidiary Distrilima, which is consolidated with Edelnor, declined by 6.8% in 2007 compared to 2006, mainly due to a 2.8% reduction in the average sales price in local currency and the effect of the BT64 conversion in 2007, leading to Ch$22.4 billion of reduced revenue.  This is partially offset by a 6.7% increase in physical sales, which reached 5,201 GWh in 2007 and the 2.9% rise in average per capita consumption.  The total number of customers rose by 34,901, or 3.7%.

 

In Brazil, Ampla’s revenues declined by Ch$24.4 billion (3.9%) in 2007, mainly due to the effect of the BT64 conversion resulting in Ch$18.8 billion of reduced revenue.  On the other hand, physical sales increased by 3.7% to 8,985 GWh in 2007, the number of customers rose by 62,339, or 2.7%, to 2.4 million in 2007 and the average sales price increased by 8.2% in local currency.

The revenues for Coelce declined by 2.1%, principally due to the BT64 effect of changes in the exchange rates of the Reais and Chilean peso against the dollar in the conversion to Chilean GAAP which meant reduced operating revenues of Ch$13.8 billion.  This was offset by a 0.6% rise in the average sales price in local currency and a 6.8% rise in physical sales, plus an increase in other revenues of Ch$11.7 billion derived mainly from selling electric and non-electric appliances (Coelce Plus).  Coelce’s customers rose by 5.7%, from 2.5 million in 2006 to 2.7 million in 2007.

 

In Colombia, the revenues for Codensa in 2007 increased by 8.0%, mainly due to a 6.4% increase in physical sales to 11,441 GWh, and a 0.6% rise in the average sales price in local currency, plus an increase of Ch$18.4 billion mainly from Codensa Hogar.  The effect of BT64 in 2007 with respect to the 13.5% appreciation of the Colombian peso and the 15.1% appreciation of the Chilean peso, in real terms, had a net impact of Ch$1.2 billion of reduced operating revenue.  The number of customers of Codensa increased by 3.2% to 2.21 million in 2007, while the average per capita electricity consumption rose by 3.0%, from 5.03 MWh in 2006 to 5.18 MWh.

 

Revenues of non-electrical subsidiaries

 

The revenues earned by our non-electrical subsidiaries declined by 4.0% compared to 2006, mainly explained by the Ch$14.0 billion of reduced revenues by CAM due to lower sales of Ch$11.8 billion because of the conclusion of projects with Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE) (state railway) and Metro (urban subway).  This is partially offset by the higher revenues from Synapsis of Ch$1.1 billion and IMV of Ch$0.7 billion, the latter, explained by the increase in sales of real estate of the ENEA project.

 

Operating costs

 

Operating costs mainly refer to purchases of electricity from other parties, depreciation and amortization, tolls paid to transmission companies, maintenance costs, wages and fuel purchases.

Operating costs of the generation business

 

Operating costs in Chile increased by 70.9% in 2007 compared to 2006, given lower hydroelectric generation and higher thermal generation using diesel instead of natural gas, as natural gas restrictions from Argentina continued during 2007.  Fuel costs increased by Ch$243.2 billion during the year.  The average variable cost of generation, excluding the cost of electricity purchases, rose by 139.4%, from Ch$10.2 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$24.5 per kWh in 2007, as a result of the 97.9% increase in thermoelectric generation.  The cost of electricity purchases, including energy and capacity, increased from Ch$62.9 billion in 2006 to Ch$65.1 billion in 2007, despite a 20.9% decrease in physical energy purchases.  The average price of purchases increased from Ch$47.8 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$62.5 per kWh in 2007.

Operating expenses in Argentina increased by Ch$26.1 billion, from Ch$230.3 billion in 2006 to Ch$256.5 billion in 2007.  Hydro and thermoelectric generation decreased by 26.7% and 3.3%, respectively.  The cost of fuel increased by Ch$26.1 billion in 2007, due to higher prices of fuel in the generation of electricity when compared to the price of fuels in 2006.  The average variable generating cost increased from Ch$12.4 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$16.0 per kWh in 2007.  Electricity purchases, including energy and capacity, rose by Ch$771.0 million in 2007, due to an increase in physical energy purchases in the spot market, while the average purchase price decreased from Ch$25.3 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$19.7 per kWh in 2007.  The combination of the appreciation of the peso against the dollar and the depreciation of the Ar$ against the dollar decreased total operating expenses in 2007 when compared to 2006 by Ch$33.0 billion.

 

Colombia’s operating expenses decreased by 3.8%.  The average variable generation cost, excluding the cost of electricity purchases, raised from Ch$4.5 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$10.0 per kWh in 2007.  Tolls and energy transportation costs increased by Ch$9.5 billion.  The 54.2% increase in thermal generation caused fuel costs to increase by Ch$2.9 billion.  Electricity purchases, including energy and capacity, decreased by Ch$15.0 billion in 2007, due to lower energy costs and energy trading operations.  Average purchase price dropped from Ch$21.2 per kWh in 2006 to Ch$12.1 per kWh in 2007.  The combination of the appreciation of the peso and the appreciation of the Colombian Peso appreciations against the dollar led to a net decrease of Ch$7.0 billion.

 

The operating costs of Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil increased by 86.2% to Ch$67.5 billion in 2007.  This was mainly due to higher energy-purchase costs of Ch$32.9 billion to satisfy demand.  Production declined by 8.3% to 3,888 GWh in 2007.

 

The operating costs of Endesa Fortaleza in Brazil increased by Ch$8.6 billion (15.9%) from Ch$53.9 billion in 2006 to Ch$62.5 billion in 2007, mainly due to higher energy-purchase costs of Ch$13.4 billion, were partially offset by reduced fuel purchases of Ch$2.8 billion.  Production fell by 73.4% to 66 GWh in 2007.

 

Operating expenses in Peru increased by 3.8%.  This was primarily due to an increase of Ch$8.2 billion of energy purchases as a consequence of higher physical energy purchases in the spot market due to a capacity constraint in the transmission line in the northern region of the country.  This was offset by lower fuel costs of Ch$7.0 billion due to lower cost of natural gas, despite the fact that thermal generation increased by 32.7% in 2007.  The average variable generating cost, excluding the cost of electricity purchases, was Ch$8.9 per kWh in 2006 compared to Ch$6.8 per kWh in 2007.  The combination of the appreciation of the peso and the appreciation of the Sol against the dollar led to a net decrease in operating expenses of Ch$11.5 billion.

 

Operating costs of the transmission business

 

The operating costs for CIEN in 2007 were Ch$65.0 billion, 60.0% less than in 2006.  The diminution reflects the change of business from trading energy to transport of energy..  The BT64 effect on CIEN of the appreciation of the Reais and the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the dollar resulted in Ch$4.0 billion in higher costs.

Operating costs in Chile increased by 17.2%, mainly due to an increase related to energy purchases that rose by Ch$95.7 billion.  The rise in energy-purchase costs is explained by (i) an increase in physical purchases of 641 GWh (4.9%) and (ii) a 31.9% increase in the average price of purchases following the rise in the node price.  Physical losses in Chile rose from 5.4% in 2006 to 5.9%, mainly because of the sharp increase in energy prices that led more customers to resort to illicit practices such as theft.

 

The operating costs for Edesur in Argentina declined by 4.2%.  This is mainly explained by the effect of the BT64 conversion that provided Ch$35.8 billion of lower costs in Chilean pesos.  This causes costs to fall despite the 2.7% rise in the average price of purchases in local currency and the 7.0% increase in physical

energy purchases, amounting to 17,739 GWh in 2007.  Energy losses attributable to theft and vandalism rose slightly from 10.5% in 2006 to 10.7% in 2007.

 

The operating costs for Edelnor in Peru fell by 9.1%, mainly due to a 7.2% fall in the average price of energy bought, in local currency terms, and the effect of the BT64 conversion which represents a decrease in operating costs of Ch$17.1 billion in Chilean pesos.  This was partially offset by the 6.5% increase in physical energy purchases which amounted to 5,657 GWh in 2007.  Physical losses declined from 8.2% in 2006 to 8.1% in 2007.

 

The operating costs for Ampla in Brazil decreased by Ch$78.5 billion (15.9%).  The BT64 effect produced Ch$25.2 billion of reduced costs.  The charge for depreciation of fixed assets declined by Ch$11.8 billion in 2007 and the cost of services provided to third parties decreased by Ch$52.4 billion as, according to a resolution by ANEEL, the accounts of CCC, CDE and PROINFA (specific taxes applicable to the electric sector in Brazil), which in 2006 were classified as costs, are deducted from income effective from 2007.  This is partially offset by larger physical purchases of 339 GWh and a 1.9% rise in the average purchase price in local currency.  Physical energy losses fell from 21.9% in 2006 to 21.4% in 2007 as a result of various projects that the Company is promoting to reduce such losses.

 

The operating costs for Coelce decreased by 1.3%, in 2007, mainly due to the BT64 effect which represents a fall of Ch$13.9 billion, partially offset by an increase in energy purchases of Ch$14.9 billion due to a 6.2% rise in physical purchases, amounting to 8,257 GWh, and a 5.2% rise in the average price of bought energy in local currency.  Physical energy losses were 12.5% in 2007, down from 13.0% in 2006.

 

The operating costs of Codensa in Colombia increased by 8.3% in 2007, mainly due to a rise of Ch$25.3 billion in the cost of energy because of the 6.2% increase in purchases of energy and the 7.8% increase in the average purchase price in local currency, and an increase in other operating costs of Ch$8.6 billion.  The effect of BT64 was a net Ch$6.0 billion of lower costs.  Physical energy losses were 8.7% in 2007, compared to 8.9% in 2006.

 

Operating costs of non-electrical subsidiaries

 

The operating costs of our non-electrical subsidiaries declined by 7.6% in 2007, mainly due to the reduction in costs of Ch$17.1 and Ch$4.5 billion respectively by CAM and Synapsis, following the termination of projects carried out in 2006.

The interest expense, net of interest income, increased by 4.0% as a result of the higher level of debt during the year, principally in our subsidiaries Ampla, Codensa and Edelnor, and lower interest income due to reduced deposits and negative restating due to lower applicable rates in Brazil.  There was also an increase of Ch$8.1 billion of interest due to fines for quality service in our subsidiary Edesur, which have been restated for both tariff increases and accrued interests.

 

The results of our equity investments show a decrease of Ch$65.6 billion, mainly due to the impairment provision of Ch$53.3 billion (Ch$40.0 billion net of minority interest) plus the recognition of the loss in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding of Ch$11.1 billion, as a result of the non-receipt of gas from Argentina and the high costs of generation that the company has had to withstand.

 

Other non-operating expenses show an increased loss of Ch$41.7 billion due to:

 

·                  Net losses of Ch$124.7 billion from the conversion adjustment according to Chilean regulations as contained in BT 64, principally of the subsidiaries in Brazil, Colombia and Peru (Ch$39.0 billion, net of minorities); and

·                  Reduced gain on sales of fixed assets of Ch$23.0 billion, which relates to the sale made in 2006 by Ampla of former generation assets and a higher equity tax charge in Colombia of Ch$20.3 billion.

 

The above was partly offset by:

 

·                  Reduced write-off of receivables in CIEN made in 2006 on the renegotiation of the contract with Copel for Ch$35.7 billion;

·                  Income from previous years’ tariff adjustment in Edesur for Ch$30.3 billion;

·                  Reduced provisions for contingencies and litigation of Ch$23.0 billion, principally in Ampla, Coelce and CIEN;

·                  Reduced expenses, related to energy efficiency programs of Brazilian subsidiaries, of Ch$13.0 billion;

·                  Gain in CIEN for settlement of contract with Cemsa for Ch$8.8 billion; and

·                  Reduced allowance for obsolescence and write-offs of fixed assets for Ch$7.1 billion.

 

Price-level restatements show a negative change of Ch$13,187.8 million, mainly due to the effect of higher inflation in 2007 of 7.4%, compared to 2.1% the year before.  This change has an effect on the non-monetary assets and liabilities and those monetary items, mainly debt, denominated in U.F., plus the restatement of income statement accounts.

Exchange differences as of December 31, 2007 show a positive change of Ch$1,158.7 million, passing from Ch$6,231.3 million in 2006 to Ch$7,390.0 million in 2007.  This is the result of the Company’s mismatched position in Chile of dollar-denominated Assets/Liabilities in both years.

Income tax expense decreased by Ch$52.6 million, mainly due to reduced provisions for income tax in Enersis on a stand-alone basis (Ch$15.1 billion), and our subsidiaries Emgesa (Ch$21.7 billion), Endesa Chile (Ch$23.5 billion), Codensa (Ch$16.1 billion), Coelce (Ch$7.6 billion) and Ampla (Ch$7.0 billion), partially offset by increases in Edesur (Ch$16.9 billion), Pehuenche (Ch$14.7 billion) and El Chocón (Ch$6.3 billion).

 

Deferred taxes, which do not represent cash flows, show a negative change mainly derived from the effect recognized in 2006 in Chilectra (formerly Elesur) for Ch$153.3 billion, following the merger between Elesur and Chilectra, and the sale of the offices of Elesur, which led to the reversal of the valuation provision for its tax losses accumulated in previous years.  Other important changes were in Ampla (Ch$33.5 billion), CIEN (Ch$23.5 billion), Emgesa (Ch$15.5 billion) and Codensa (Ch$14.2 billion), partially offset by El Chocón (Ch$8.7 billion), Edegel (Ch$7.8 billion), Endesa Chile (Ch$3.6 billion) and Coelce (Ch$2.8 billion).

 

The gain from the amortization of negative goodwill declined to Ch$4.8 billion as of December 31, 2007.  The reduced amortization is mainly due to the end of the negative goodwill generated on the first purchase of shares in Emgesa (Betania), which effect is a reduced amortization of Ch$2.0 billion.

 

As a result of the above, our consolidated net income declined from Ch$334.5 billion in 2006 to Ch$205.2 billion in 2007, a decrease of Ch$129.3 billion, or 38.7%.

B.            Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a company with no significant assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries.  The following discussion of cash sources and uses reflects the key drivers of cash flow for Enersis, as they are regularly described to the holders of Enersis’ debt and included in the calculation of financial covenant ratios.  The discussion is relevant to the holders of Enersis’ debt, because it presents the financial effects, which vary regarding the accounting effects as a consequence of time lag between certain cash flows and actual accounting effects. For information on cash flows from an accounting rather than a financial perspective, please see “Item 18.  Financial Statements — Consolidated Financial Statements — Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.”

 

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 satisfy our needs for working capital, debt service, dividends and routine capital expenditures.

 

We consider cash flows generated by our wholly-owned subsidiaries (CAM, Synapsis, IMV and investment vehicles) as our own operating inflows and outflows, given that we have always had access to these wholly-owned Chilean subsidiaries’ cash flows.

 

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

For a description of liquidity risks related to our company status, please see “Item 3.  Key Information — D. Risk Factors — We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries and affiliates to meet our payment obligations” in this Report.

 

We coordinate the overall financing strategy of our majority-owned subsidiaries.  Our operating subsidiaries independently develop capital expenditure plans and generally our strategy is to have the operating subsidiaries independently finance its capital expansion programs through internally generated funds or direct financings.  We also coordinate acquisition financing with respect to distribution operations of 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.

 

On July 3, 2007, Standard & Poor’s upgraded our rating and also the rating for Endesa Chile, to BBB from BBB- both with “Stable Outlook.”  . We maintained the upgrade rating throughout 2008, all of them with “Stable Outlook”.

 

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 United States, for Enersis and Endesa Chile.  Enersis issued $800 million in Yankee Bonds in November 1996, and $350 million in November 2003.  Endesa Chile and its consolidated subsidiaries have also issued Yankee Bonds between 1996 and 2003, of which $1.5 billion were outstanding as of December 31, 2008.

Between November 2004 and December 2006, Enersis entered into two senior unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities through its former Cayman Island’s Branch.  In the same period, Endesa Chile, acting through its former Cayman Island’s Branch, entered into three senior unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities.  These facilities were structured with various banks, for an aggregate amount of $550 million for Enersis and $650 million for Endesa Chile, with maturity dates between 2009 and 2010. In June 2008, Endesa Chile entered into a US$ 200 million senior unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility and a 6-year term loan for $ 200 million with the same banks. Use of proceeds for the term loan facility was to refinance the maturity of a $ 400 million Yankee bond in July 2008.

 

The lenders under these facilities may have recourse to a Mandatory Prepayment in the event there is a “Change of Control,” as defined in the agreements.  A Change of Control will not be triggered if Endesa Spain remains in the chain of control over Enersis or Endesa Chile.  If Endesa Spain is no longer in the chain of control, each lender may demand prepayment subject to certain conditions: under the 2004 facilities, the new controlling entity must have a lower credit rating than Endesa Spain subsequent to the launching of a transaction that would end in an effective Change of Control.  In that facility, either the S&P or Moody’s rating for the new controlling entity would have to be worse than that of Endesa Spain.  In the 2006 and 2008 facilities, however, the new controlling entity could have a rating lower than that of Endesa Spain before the initial announcement of the transaction, and no Change of Control Mandatory Prepayment could be triggered unless all of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch rated the new controlling company by more than one notch, including with respect to outlook, below Endesa Spain’s ratings at such time.  In all cases described in this paragraph, a Mandatory Prepayment for Change of Control could only be triggered if lenders representing more than 50% of the corresponding facility so request.

 

The December 2006 and June 2008 revolving credit facilities were amended to exclude a condition precedent requirement that there should not have occurred any “material adverse effect” (as defined contractually) prior to a disbursement, allowing the companies the flexibility to draw on such revolving facilities under any circumstances.

 

The undrawn amount of Enersis’ two revolving credit facilities is $400 million as of December 31, 2008.  The undrawn amount of Endesa Chile’s four revolving credit facilities is $400 million.

 

All of Enersis and Endesa Chile’s credit facilities include various financial covenants.  Enersis and Endesa Chile were in compliance with such financial covenants at the time of this report.  Enersis and Endesa Chile’s Yankee Bonds, on the other hand, are not subject to financial covenants.

 

As is customary for certain credit and capital market debt facilities, a significant portion of Enersis and Endesa Chile’s financial indebtedness is subject to cross default provisions.  Each of the revolving credit facilities described above, as well as all of Enersis and Endesa Chile’s Yankee Bonds, have cross default provisions with different definitions, criteria, materiality thresholds, and applicability as to the subsidiaries that could give rise to a cross default.

 

The cross default provision of the revolving credit facilities for Enersis and Endesa Chile refer only to so-called “Relevant Subsidiaries,” a contractually defined term that refers to our most important subsidiaries.  Under all of Enersis’ credit facilities, only matured defaults exceeding $ 50 million qualify for a potential cross default when the principal exceeds $ 50 million, or its equivalent in other currencies.  The cross default provision for bank loan indebtedness for Enersis in its Chilean-risk debt refers only to so-called “Relevant Subsidiaries,” a contractually defined term that refers to the most important subsidiaries.  There is a complex mathematical determination to determine the list of Relevant Subsidiaries, which vary somewhat from year to year.  As of December 2008, Enersis’ Relevant Subsidiaries are Chilectra, Endesa Chile, Endesa Brasil and Ampla, and the Endesa Chile Relevant Subsidiaries are Endesa Argentina, Generandes and Emgesa.  In the case of a matured default above the materiality threshold, revolving credit facility’s lenders would have the option to accelerate if the lenders representing more than 50% of the aggregate debt of a particular facility then outstanding choose to do so.

Table of Contents

 

Yankee Bonds are the most restrictive in terms of cross default provisions, as any matured default of either Enersis, Endesa Chile or any subsidiary could result in a cross default to Enersis and Endesa Chile’s Yankee Bonds if the matured default, on an individual basis, has a principal exceeding $30 million, or its equivalent in other currencies.  In the case of a matured default above the materiality threshold, Yankee bondholders would have the option to accelerate if either the Trustee or bondholders representing no less than 25% of the aggregate debt of a particular series then outstanding choose to do so.

 

Certain other customary events of default 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 by the required lenders there under or otherwise pursuant to its terms, after expiration of grace periods if applicable, and after formal notices have been granted.

 

At the time of this report, our Argentine subsidiary, Costanera, had not paid the installment due  March 2009 for its supplier credit with MC dating back to 1996.  However, on March 31, 2009 MC sent a waiver of the payment due to Costanera. The waiver also states MC’s willingness to discuss a new payment date for the amount past due.

 

Most of our companies have access to existing credit lines sufficient to satisfy all of our present working capital needs.

 

Payment of dividends and distributions by our subsidiaries and affiliates represent an important source of funds for us.  The payment of dividends and distributions by certain subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to legal and contractual restrictions, such as legal reserve requirements, capital and retained earnings criteria and other restrictions.  We have been advised by legal counsel in the various geographical locations where our subsidiaries and affiliates operate that there currently are no other legal restrictions on the payment to Enersis of dividends or distributions to us in the jurisdictions where such subsidiaries or affiliates are incorporated.  Certain credit facilities and investment agreements of our subsidiaries restrict the payment of dividends or distributions in certain circumstances.  For a description of liquidity risks resulting from our company status, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk factors —We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries and affiliates to meet our payment obligations.” in this Report.

 

In addition to available cash and the undrawn amount of revolving credit facilities mentioned above, as of  the date of this Report, currently we can draw up to $257 million from unused lines of credit granted by Chilean banks, and Endesa Chile can draw up to another $196 million from similar sources.  Our level of consolidated indebtedness decreased by 6%, from $8.4 billion as of December 31, 2007, to $7.9 billion as of December 31, 2008.  This decrease is primarily due to the depreciation during the year of most of the South American exchange rates against the dollar and a growth in cash generation on a consolidated basis.

 

We do not currently anticipate liquidity shortfalls affecting our ability to satisfy the obligations described in this report.  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.

 

Transactions that most significantly affected Enersis foreign subsidiaries’ liquidity in 2008 included:

 

·                  Edegel: leasing agreement for $ 90 million to finance Santa Rosa project. Edegel also made bond issuances in the Peruvian market for approximately $ 29 million. Finally, the company obtained loans for $ 96 million, which were used to refinance and prepay debt.

 

·                  Edelnor: local bonds for approximately $ 63 million with maturities between 3 years and 5 years, which were used to refinance and prepay debt.

·                  Edelnor: local bonds for approximately $53 million equivalent in local currency with maturities between 5 years and 8 years, which were used to refinance debt.  Also, Edelnor signed short-term loans for $195 million, including renovations and new debt, taking advantage of low interest rates.

D.            Trend Information.

 

Enersis is a company with subsidiaries engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in five different countries. Therefore, our businesses are subject to a wide variety of conditions that may result in variability in our earnings and cash flows from year to year. In general, our net income is a product of our operating income from our generation and distribution businesses and other factors such as income from unconsolidated related companies, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and taxes.

 

Regarding our generation business, our operating income for 2008 increased by 44.3% as compared to 2007. This increase in the generation segment operating income from 2007 to 2008 varies in each of the five countries where we operate and is due to numerous factors, including hydrological conditions, the price of fuel used to generate electricity and the prevailing spot market and regulated prices for electricity in each of the countries in which we operate. Our generation operations in the five different countries allow us to somewhat offset and counterbalance variations with respect to these factors, but in light of the variability of these factors over time and across the countries in which we operate, we cannot ascertain the likelihood or the extent to which past performance will be indicative of future performance with respect to our generation business. A significant change with respect to hydrological conditions, fuel price or the price of electricity could affect our operating income.

 

With respect to our distribution business, our operating income for 2008 increased by 42.8% as compared to 2007. This increase in the distribution segment operating income from 2007 to 2008 varies in each of the five countries where we operate due to numerous factors, including improved operational efficiency and growth in population and gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the countries in which we operate. Technological advances have enabled us to reduce the amount of electricity lost in our distribution operations, while increases in population and GDP in the countries in which we operate have resulted in increased demand for electricity, all of which have had a positive effect on our operating income.

 

While GDP and population growth have trended upward in Latin America, future decreases in each of such variables could negatively affect our operating income. Also, while the regulatory regimes in the countries in which we operate remain fairly stable, additional regulation, especially regulations concerning the price at which we may sell electricity, could affect our operating income.  Variability in our earnings and cash flows can also arise from non-operating factors as well, such as foreign currency exchange rates.  For further information regarding 2008’ results of the Company compared with those recorded on previous periods, please see “ — A. Operating Results - Enersis’ Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008” and “— A. Operating Results - Enersis’ Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007” above.

 

Investors should not look at our past performance as indicative of future performance.

(3)          Includes Endesa Chile’s capital lease obligations for a total of Ch$ 27.5 billion.

 

(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 $ 98 million in the “After 2013” 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 equal to $ 24,913 million per annum).  However, we have estimated that we will have $ 24,913  million in cash flow commitments in connection with such 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 related to such plans after 2013 would not accurately represent our year-to-year cash commitments.

(1)           Mr. De la Mata ceased to be a Director of Enersis in March 2008.

 

We do not disclose, to our shareholders or otherwise, information on individual executive officers’ compensation.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the aggregate gross compensation paid or accrued (including performance-based bonuses) of the Executive Officers of Enersis, was Ch$2.198 million.  Enersis’ Executive Officers are eligible for variable compensation under a 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 March 2009 was Ch$558 million, and is included in the aggregate compensation figure.  Of this variable compensation, Ch$312 million were deposited in pension funds, and Ch$246 million were paid to the Executive Officers.

 

The amount set aside or accrued by the Company to provide severance indemnities to its executive officers amounts Ch$ 344 million, of which Ch$52 million were accrued during 2008.

 

All of our executive officers have severance indemnity agreements with the Company in the event of voluntary resignation, mutual agreement among the parties, or death.  They do not have a right to severance indemnity if the relationship with the Company is terminated due to willful misconduct, prohibited negotiations, unjustified absences, abandonment of duties, among other causes, as defined in article 130 of the Chilean Code of Labor.  All of the Company’s employees are entitled to legal severance pay if dismissed due to needs of the Company, as defined in article 161 of the Chilean Code of Labor.

 

C.            Board Practices.

 

The current Board of Directors was elected for a period of three years at the GSM of April 1, 2008. For information as to the years in which each director began his service at the board, please see “ — A. Directors and Senior Management” above.  The members of the Board of Directors do not have service contracts with Enersis or any of its affiliates that provide benefits upon termination of employment.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Enersis is managed by its Executive Officers under the direction of its Board of Directors which, in accordance with its bylaws, consists of seven directors who are elected at an annual GSM.  Each director serves for a three-year term and the term of each of the seven directors expires on the same day. The directors can be reelected indefinitely. 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.  A vacancy will trigger an election for every seat on the board of directors at the next GSM.  The current board of directors was elected in April 2008 and its term expires in April 2011.

 

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 bylaws and the stockholders’ resolutions.  In addition to the bylaws, the Board of Directors of Enersis has adopted regulations and policies that guide our corporate governance principles.  The Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets, approved by the Board on January 31, 2002, defines 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 and 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, approved by the Board on May 28, 2003, and the Employee Code of Conduct, explain our principles and ethical values, establish the rules governing dealing with customers and

 

137



Table of Contents

 

suppliers, and establish the principles that should be followed by employees, 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.

 

In order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Market Law 18,045 and other legal rules, imposed by the SVS and the instructions contained in Norma de Carácter General No. 211,issued by the SVS, on May 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a document denominated “Manual de Manejo de Información de Interés para el Mercado”, or Manual,  which among others, addresses the following issues:  applicable standards to the information of transactions of the Company’s securities or those of its affiliates by directors, principal executives and other related parties; existence of blackout periods for such transactions by directors, principal executives and other related parties; existence of mechanisms for the continuous revelation of information that is of interest to the market; and mechanisms that provide protection for confidential information.  Such Manual was informed to the market on May 30, 2008 and posted on the company’s website www.enersis.cl.

 

The provisions of this Manual shall be applied to the members of the board, as well as executives and employees of Enersis who have access to privileged information or are able to access it and especially those who work in areas related to the securities markets.

 

The regulations and rules mentioned above 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

 

The 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 have been subject to this requirement since July 31, 2005.

 

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the audit committee of a U.S. company must perform the functions detailed in, and otherwise comply with the requirements of 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 did comply with 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.  The current members of this Committee, who satisfy the requirements of independence of NYSE, are: Messrs. Juan Eduardo Errázuriz, Patricio Claro and Hernán Somerville. As required by Chilean Law, Enersis also has a Directors’ Committee composed of three directors.  Although Chilean Law requires that the majority of the Directors’ Committee (two out of three members) be composed of directors who were not nominated by the votes of the controlling shareholder or, if excluding the votes from the controlling shareholders would have been elected nevertheless (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

 

138



Table of Contents

 

Directors’ Committee is composed of one non-control director and two directors nominated with the votes of the controlling shareholder.

 

Our Directors’ Committee 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 compensation framework and plans for managers and executive officers; and

 

·             any other function mandated to the committee by the bylaws, the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Company.

 

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 Patricio Claro.

 

The Audit Committee is composed of three independent members who also serve as directors of the Company.  It performs the following functions:

 

·             submits a proposal for the appointment and compensation of independent auditors at GSM;

 

·             oversees the work of independent auditors;

 

·             pre-approves audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors; and

 

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

 

Corporate Governance Guidelines

 

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules require U.S.-listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.  Although Chilean law does not contemplate this practice (except for the Manual), the Company has adopted the codes of conduct described above, and its GSM held on March 2006, approved the inclusion of articles in its bylaws that govern the creation, composition, attributions, functions and retribution of the Directors’ Committee and the Audit Committee.

As of December 31, 2008, Edesur had 2,590, Costanera 274 and El Chocón 51 employees.  Five collective bargaining agreements are still valid, and during 2008 no new agreements were signed because the aforementioned agreements are currently valid until a new agreement is signed, despite having expired.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of Enersis’ directors or officers owns more than 0.1% of the shares of the Company.  None of Enersis’ directors and officers has any stock options, which are not permitted under Chilean securities laws and regulations. It is not possible to confirm whether any of our directors or officers has a beneficial, rather than direct, interest in the shares of Enersis. To the best of our knowledge, any shareholding by all of the directors and officers of Enersis, in the aggregate, amount to significantly less than 10% of our outstanding shares.

 

Item 7.    Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

 

A.            Major Shareholders.

 

Enersis’ only outstanding voting securities are shares of common stock.  As of March 31, 2009, our 32,651,166,465 shares of common stock outstanding were held by 8,194 stockholders of record.

 

Endesa Spain beneficially owns 60.62% of the shares of Enersis.  Chilean private pension funds, Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones, or AFPs, owned 17.05% in the aggregate. Chilean stockbrokers, mutual funds, insurance companies, foreign equity funds, and other Chilean institutional investors collectively owned 7.62 % of our equity.  ADR holders own 11.72% of the equity.  The remaining 2.99% is held by 8,052 minority shareholders.

 

AFP Provida owns Enersis common stock held exclusively on behalf of personal pension fund contributions. The shares are managed through four investment funds (the legal names of such funds being Fund Type A, Fund Type B, Fund Type C, and Fund Type D) which have different risk profiles. Under Chilean Pension Law, each fund is a separate legal entity from AFP Provida, and such fiduciary funds are not affected by AFP Provida’s financial situation as a fund management company.  AFP Provida holds a 5.39% ownership interest in Enersis through these funds with each fund’s ownership, as of March 31, 2009, as follows: Fund Type A (1.10%), Fund Type B (1.13%), Fund Type C (2.66%) and Fund Type D (0.51%).

 

As of December 31, 2008, six out of seven members of our Board of Directors were elected with shares voted by of Endesa Spain.  Endesa Spain has exerted majority control over Enersis since April 1999.  However, Endesa Spain does not have different voting rights than the other shareholders of Enersis.

On February 20, 2009, Acciona and Enel announced that they had reached an agreement through which Acciona, directly and indirectly, will transfer to Enel Energy Group Srl, a wholly-owned Enel subsidiary, 25.01% of Endesa Spain’s share capital.  The transfer is subject to legal authorizations and approval by relevant authorities.  As a result, Enel Energy Group Srl will hold 92.06% of Endesa Spain’s share capital.  Enel’s 25.01% additional stake in Endesa Spain will be exchanged for approximately € 11.1 billion in cash, as well as wind and hydroelectric assets located in Spain and Portugal which are valued at approximately € 2.9 billion.  The transfer of shares and assets is expected to take place by August 31, 2009. When the transaction is completed, Enel will hold a 55.8% beneficial interest in Enersis.

 

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 with the abstention of interested directors may approve or reject the transaction.  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 convene a Special 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 our policy that all cash inflows and outflows of our Chilean subsidiaries are managed through our centralized cash management policy. It is a common practice in Chile to transfer surplus funds from one company to another affiliate that has a cash deficit.  These operations are carried out through either short-term loans or through structured inter-company loans.  Under Chilean law and regulation, such transactions must be carried out on an arm’s-length basis.  Our 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. As of December 2008, then operations were priced at TIP (Chilean variable interest rate) + 0.05% per month.

 

In other countries in which we do business, these inter-company 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 also made structured loans to its Chilean subsidiaries, at the same cost of funds for Enersis, primarily to finance foreign investments.  As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding net balance for such loans was $504 million, and the largest amount outstanding during 2008 and 2007 was $674 million and $723 million, respectively.  Additionally, there were no outstanding loans granted by Enersis to its foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008.  The largest net amount outstanding during 2008 and 2007 for such loans was $27 million.

 

The currency denomination of the structured loans granted by Enersis to its Chilean subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 is the US dollar.  The interest rate on these intercompany loans to Enersis’ Chilean subsidiaries ranges from Libor plus 0.5% to Libor plus 5.35%, with a nominal weighted average interest rate of Libor plus 3.7%.  The interest rate on the intercompany loans to Enersis’ foreign subsidiaries ranges during 2008 from Libor plus 5% to Libor plus 8.5%, with a nominal weighted average interest rate of Libor plus 6.9%.

 

Endesa Chile has also made structured loans to its subsidiaries in Chile, primarily to finance projects and refinance existing indebtedness. As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding net balance for such loans was US$ 302 million. The largest amount outstanding during 2008 and 2007 was US$ 521 million and US$ 519 million respectively.  Endesa Chile has only one outstanding loan granted to a foreign subsidiary. The outstanding net balance of this loan was of US$ 7.1 million as of December 31, 2008.  The largest net amount outstanding during 2008 and 2007 for such loans was US$ 7.1 million and US$ 165 million, respectively.

 

The interest rates on these intercompany loans to Endesa-Chile’s Chilean subsidiaries range from Libor plus 0.75 % to Libor plus 5.7%, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately Libor plus 3.88%.  The interest rates on these intercompany loans to Endesa-Chile’s foreign subsidiaries were during 2008 Libor plus 4.9%.

 

As of the date of this report, the above-mentioned transactions have not suffered material changes.  For more information regarding transactions with affiliates, refer to note 6 of our consolidated financial statements.

Dividend Policy

 

The Board generally establishes a definitive dividend payable each year, and attributable to the prior year, which cannot be less than the legal minimum of 30% of annual net income before negative goodwill amortization. As agreed at a meeting held on March 25, 2009, the Board of Directors informed at the GSM held on April 15, 2009 the payment of a definitive dividend of Ch$6.1 per share for fiscal year 2008, equal to a payout ratio of 35.27% (based on annual net income before negative goodwill amortization).  The provisional dividend of Ch $1.5391 per share paid on December 2008 was deducted from the definitive dividend paid on April 30, 2009, as agreed by the GSM.

 

The Board of Directors also approved a dividend policy for fiscal year 2009 according to which a provisional dividend will be paid to stockholders equal to 15% of the net income accumulated up to September 30, 2009 and will propose a definitive dividend payout equal to 60% of the annual net income of fiscal year 2009.  Actual dividend payments will be subject to net profits obtained in each period, as well as to expectations of future profit levels and other conditions that may exist at the time of such dividend declaration.

 

The fulfillment of the aforementioned dividend policy will depend on actual 2009 net income. The proposed dividend policy is subject to the Board of Director’s prerrogative to change the amount and timing of the dividend under the circumstances at the time of the payment.  Currently, there are no restrictions on the ability of Enersis or any of its subsidiaries to pay dividends, other than the customary legal restriction of limiting the amount of dividends to net income and retained earnings and in the event of specific circumstances given the conditions of certain credit agreements, except for the following: Pangue may not pay dividends unless it complies with certain financial covenants relating to leverage and debt service coverage ratios; Costanera is prohibited from paying dividends while certain debt is outstanding; and dividend payments by El Chocón are limited by a credit agreement executed in 2006.  In general terms companies may noy pay dividends in case of default on credit agreements. (See. “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and capital resources” for further detail on Enersis debt instruments).

 

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

 

The Company pays dividends to shareholders of record as of five business days before the payment date.  Holders of ADSs on the applicable record dates will be entitled to participate in all future dividends.

Market Price and Volume Information

 

The shares of our common stock currently trade on the Chilean, United States and Spanish exchanges.  Transactions in Chile take place on three exchanges: the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Electronic Stock Exchange and the Valparaíso Stock Exchange.

 

Shares of our common stock have traded in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since October 19, 1993 in the form of ADSs under the ticker symbol “ENI.”  Each ADS represents 50 shares of common stock, with the ADSs in turn evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).  The ADRs are outstanding under a Deposit Agreement dated as of October 18, 1993, among us, Citibank, N.A., as Depositary, and the holders from time to time of ADRs issued there under.  Only persons in whose names ADRs are registered on the books of the Depositary are treated by the Depositary as owners of ADRs.

 

As of December 31, 2008, there were 71,267,055 ADSs (equivalent to 3,563,352,750 common shares) outstanding of Enersis.  Such ADSs represented at such date 10.9% of the total number of outstanding shares.  It is not practicable for us to determine the proportion of ADRs beneficially owned by U.S. persons.

 

During 2008, volume traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange amounted to 9,609,067,583 shares.

C.           Markets.

 

In Chile, the Company’s stock is traded on three stock exchanges.  The largest exchange in the country, the Santiago Stock Exchange, was established in 1893 as a private company.  Its equity consists of 48 shares held by 45 stockholders as of the date of this Report.  As of December 31, 2008, 235 companies had shares listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange. For the year ended 2008, the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for 87.6% of Enersis’ total equity traded in Chile.  In addition, approximately 11.9% of Enersis’ equity trading was conducted on the Electronic Exchange, an electronic trading market that was created by banks and non-member brokerage houses, and 0.5% was traded on the Valparaíso Exchange. Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold and dollars are traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange.  In 1990, the Santiago Stock Exchange initiated a futures market with two instruments, dollar futures and Selective Shares Price Index, or IPSA, futures.  Securities are traded primarily through an open-voice auctions 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., from April to October, and from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from

November to March, Santiago time, which differs from New York City time up to two hours, 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.  For days on 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 Index, or IGPA, and the Selective Index, or IPSA.  The IPSA is calculated using the prices of the 40 most actively traded shares. The IGPA is calculated using the prices of all shares that are publicly traded. The shares included in the IPSA are weighted according to the value of the shares traded.  As of December 31, 2008, Enersis and Endesa Chile has been included in the IPSA. Enersis has been included in the IPSA since the last quarter of 1988, while Endesa Chile has been included since its privatization in the 1980’s.

 

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 1.5 million units in 2008, which in turn was equivalent to €16 million.  The stock closed at € 9.11 on the last day of trading in Latibex in 2008.

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 company’s by-laws, which effectively serve the purpose of either the articles or certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the United States, and by the Law 18,046, or 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 Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, or SVS, under the Law 18,045, or the Securities Market Law, and the Chilean Companies Act.  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.  Law 19,705 introduced 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, directors’ 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 ADSs 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, liquidator, principal executive, chief executive officer or officer of a publicly held limited liability stock company whose shares are registered with the SVS must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges.

 

148



Table of Contents

 

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

 

Under Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and Norma de Carácter General 104 enacted by the SVS in 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 provisions on tender offers will apply.

 

Law 19,705 introduced a chapter to the Securities Market Law, establishing a comprehensive regulation on tender offers.  The law defines a tender offer as an 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.  These 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 and to participate in the telecommunications business.

 

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 elected at the GSM for a period of three years at the end of which they will be re-elected or replaced.

 

The seven directors elected at the GSM are those seven individual nominees who receive the most votes.  Each shareholder may vote 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 is able to elect a member of the Board of Directors.

 

The compensation of the directors is set annually at the general ordinary meeting of shareholders.  The Chairman is entitled to receive twice the compensation paid to each director, 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.

 

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 Report, Enersis’ capital is comprised of only one class of shares, all of which are ordinary shares and have the same rights.

 

Our bylaws do not contain any provisions relating to redemption provisions, sinking funds or liability to further capital calls by the Company.

 

149



Table of Contents

 

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 a general 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 subscribed shares have not been 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, the 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, 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 the auction, the subscriber continues to have all the rights of a shareholder, except the right to receive dividends and return of capital.  Authorized and issued shares, for which full payment has not been made within the period fixed by the general extraordinary shareholders’ meeting at which their subscription was authorized, which may not exceed three years from the date of such meeting, are canceled and are no longer available for issuance.

 

In 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 for under this capital increase.  In 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.

 

In 2003, at a General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, Enersis’ shareholders approved the issuance of 24,382,994,488 shares, at a market value of approximately $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 cancellation of a Ch$1.0 trillion (approximately $1.4 billion at the exchange rate applicable at that time) inter-company 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 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 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.

 

The shareholders also approved in that meeting, the elimination of the 65% by-laws’ restriction on the maximum shareholding by any party.  In 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 preemptive rights to purchase a number of shares sufficient 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, Chilean publicly held limited liability stock companies are not permitted to offer any unsubscribed

 

150



Table of Contents

 

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 to 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

 

An amendment to our by-laws requires the affirmative vote of shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote.

 

A GSM 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 15, 2009.  Extraordinary shareholders’ 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 shareholders’ meeting, or a GSM, notice must be given in three opportunities 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 Enersis’ shareholders was held on March 21, 2006.

 

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 of 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 the following list, regardless of the quorum present, then the vote required for the action is a two-thirds majority of the outstanding shares with voting rights:

 

·

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;

 

151



Table of Contents

 

·

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-party 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;

 

 

·

certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate by-laws.

 

Bylaw 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 majority 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 a GSM, the annual report of the Company’s activities which includes audited financial statements, must be made available to shareholders and published on the Company’s website: www.enersis.cl.  In addition to these requirements, we regularly provide, and management currently intends to continue to provide, together with the notice of the GSM, 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, as well as a proposal of the Investment and Financing Policy to be approved by the shareholders for the current year.

 

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

 

According to the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of its issued shares eligible to vote, all companies must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of their consolidated net income, before amortization and negative goodwill for each year (on a Chilean GAAP basis), except to the extent the company has carried forward losses.  The law provides that the Board of Directors has to propose the dividend policy to the shareholders at the GSM.

 

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.

 

152



Table of Contents

 

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 made 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; payments not collected in such period are transferred for the benefit of firemen, who are volunteers.

 

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 to 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’ 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

 

Law 19,705, enacted in 2000 establishes a comprehensive regulation for tender offers.  The law defines a tender offer as the intent to purchase shares or convertible bonds of publicly traded companies and which offer is made to investors to purchase their securities in conditions which allow the bidder to reach a certain percentage of ownership of the corporation within a fixed period of time.  These provisions apply to both friendly and hostile takeovers.

 

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 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 the 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 an entity which is not a publicly held limited liability stock company governed;

 

 

·

the merger of the company with another company;

 

 

·

the disposition of at least 50% of the company’s assets, 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;

 

 

·

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;

 

 

·

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 funds 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

 

Enersis’ shares are currently registered through an Administrative Agent named DCV Registros S.A.  This entity is responsible for Enersis’ shareholders registry as well.

D.            Exchange controls

 

The Chilean Central Bank has a series of operating functions and attributes regarding the following areas: the issue of bank notes and coins, the regulation of the amount of money in circulation and credit, the regulation of the financial system and the capital market, faculties to preserve financial system stability, functions as part of its role as fiscal agent, attributes in terms of international questions, attributes regarding foreign currency operations and statistical functions.

 

a)            Foreign Investments Contracts and Chapter XXVI

 

In connection with Enersis initial offering of ADSs in 1993, on October 15, 1993, Enersis 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. After the Enersis capital increase approved in the shareholders’ meeting of April 30, 1999, Enersis and the Central Bank agreed to amend the Foreign Investment Contract on September 7, 2000, and subsequently entered into a new Foreign Investment Contract on October 12, 2000.

 

In November 1995, the Central Bank amended the former Chapter XXVI to regulate secondary offerings of ADSs by companies that have previously entered into a foreign investment contract.  In accordance with these new regulations, Enersis entered into an amendment to the 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, the former Chapter XXVI required that foreign currency that entered into Chile pursuant to the former Chapter XXVI be converted into Chilean pesos through 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 Exchange Market 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 local 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.

 

The Chapter XXVI was abrogated on April 19, 2001. However, the Foreign Investment Contracts cannot be modified or terminated without the consent of all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, foreign investors who did not deposit their shares of common stock into Enersis ADS facility will not have the benefits of Enersis’ Foreign Investment Contracts with the Central Bank, being subject to the normal foreign investment rules.

 

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contracts. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the former Chapter XXVI, the Foreign Investment Contracts, the Central Bank Decision 1333-01-070510 adopted on May 10th, 2007 and the Central Bank Rule 1228 issued on May 23, 2007.

 

Under the former Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contracts, 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 under Foreign Investment Contracts pursuant to the former Chapter XXVI, upon delivery of ADRs (such shares of common stock being referred to herein as “Withdrawn Shares”), access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert pesos into dollars (and to remit such dollars outside Chile, but necessarily through the Formal Exchange Market),  including amounts received as:

 

155



Table of Contents

 

·

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;

 

 

·

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 the former Chapter XXVI.  Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADRs have the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that certain conditions relating to redeposit are satisfied.

 

Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments was conditioned upon certification by Enersis to the Central Bank that a dividend payment had 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 had 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 redeposit.

 

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 pesos on the same day 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 dollars 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 the former 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 Contracts provide that if the Central Bank does not answer on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

 

b)            Central Bank Decision 1333-01-070510 and New Foreign Investment Contract

 

The Central Bank Decision 1333-01-070510 adopted on May 10th, 2007 agreed to extend the effects of the former Chapter XXVI to capital increases approved after April 18, 2001.  As a consequence of such Central Bank’s decision, Enersis formally requested to the Central Bank to be allowed to enter into a new Foreign Investment Contract to include its capital increase approved by Enersis’ shareholders’ meeting held on March 31, 2003,

which was granted by the Central Bank on September 7, 2007, subject to the execution and delivery of a new Foreign Investment Contract, dated September 24, 2008. Nevertheless, the Central Bank’s approval aimed to extend the effects of the former Chapter XXVI to the last capital increase of Enersis, is subject to the condition that Enersis previously inform the Central Bank with respect to the measures adopted in the issuance of new shares of a future capital increase in order to sufficiently differentiate said new shares from those shares under the umbrella of the former Chapter XXVI, thus the shareholders would have the necessary information to learn about such difference.  If Enersis does not comply with the above mentioned condition, the Central Bank could revoke its approval, depriving the shares of said capital increase of the rights granted by the former Chapter XXVI. Furthermore, 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 not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed.

 

c)            New Compendium

 

On January 23, 2002, the Chilean Central Bank approved a new Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations that replaced the existing one. The new Compendium has been in effect since March 1, 2002. With these new rules, the Central Bank effectively concluded 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’s authorization requirement for the entry of capital associated with foreign loans, investments, capital contributions, bonds and ADRs;

 

 

·

the prior Central Bank’s 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’s 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 loan documents;

 

 

·

the restrictions of minimum risk rating and the weighted duration for the issuance of bonds;

 

 

·

the limitations with respect to currencies in which external debt can be issued or contracted;

 

 

·

the restrictions to the issue of ADRs; and

 

 

·

the reserve requirement on funds coming from abroad (which was already 0%).

d)            The Compendium and International Bond Issuances

 

Chilean issuers may offer bonds internationally under Chapter XIV, as amended, of 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 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 pesos in an amount equal to interest on such deposit at the rate of the twelve-month LIBOR for dollar deposits plus a market spread).  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.

Chilean Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion summarizes material Chilean income and withholding tax consequences to beneficial owners arising from the 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 that 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 in the future.  The discussion that 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 of Chile; for purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual holder is resident of 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

 

General Rule: 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 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.  As of January 1, 2004, the Chilean corporate tax rate is 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 are generally 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 income 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.

 

Exceptions: Despite the general rule previously examined, there are special circumstances under which a different tax treatment would apply depending on the source of the income or due to special circumstances existing at the date of the dividend distribution.  The special cases of most common occurrence are briefly described below:

 

1)                                     Circumstances where there is no credit against the Chilean withholding tax:  Dividends distributed by the company to foreign holders may not receive a credit against the Chilean withholding tax.  Such is the case, for instance, when dividend distributions exceed the company’s taxable income or when the income was not subject to corporate income tax due to an exemption.  In these cases, the foreign holder will be subject to the Chilean withholding tax rate of 35%, without any credit whatsoever.

 

2)                                     Circumstances where dividends have been imputed to income exempted of all Chilean income taxes: In

 

159



Table of Contents

 

these cases, dividends distributed by the company to the foreign holder will not be subject to Chilean withholding tax.  Income exempted of all Chilean income taxes is expressly listed in the Chilean Income Tax Law.

 

3)                                     Circumstances where dividends are subject to a provisional withholding tax: In the event that on the date of the dividend distribution there are no earnings on which income tax has been paid and no tax-exempt earnings, a provisional withholding must be made on the dividends at the time of payment to the foreign holders.  This provisional withholding is calculated as if the dividends were paid from taxable income with corporate tax credit.  In other words, dividends will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax rate, but they will provide a general corporate tax credit of 17%, which results in an effective dividend withholding rate of 21.69%.

 

The provisional withholding tax must be confirmed by December 31 of the year in which the dividend was paid.  This confirmation must be based on the company’s effective income up to December 31.  As a result of such confirmation the following circumstances may arise:

 

a)              That part or the total amount of the dividend corresponds to taxable income without tax credit, in which case the excess credit must to be refunded to the Chilean Treasury by April of the year following the dividend payment date.  The excess credit will be deducted from the next dividend to be paid to the foreign holder.

 

b)             That part or the total amount of the dividend corresponds to tax-exempted earnings.  In such cases, a refund of the excess taxes paid must be requested from the Chilean treasury by April of the year following the dividend payment.

 

a.                                       Circumstances when it is possible to use in Chile credit against income taxes paid abroad or “tax credit”:  This occurs when dividends distributed by the Chilean company have as their source income generated by companies resident in third countries.  If that income was subject to withholding tax or corporate income tax in those third countries, such income will have a credit or “tax credit” against corresponding Chilean taxes, which can be proportionally transferred to the shareholders of the Chilean company.

 

Taxation on Sale or Exchange of ADSs

 

Gains obtained by a foreign holder from the sale or exchange of ADSs outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation.

 

Taxation on sale or exchange of Shares where shares or ADSs were 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 common 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 the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the shares in the ordinary course of its business or as a trader.  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.  The date of acquisition of the ADSs is considered to be the date of acquisition of the shares for which the ADSs are exchanged.

 

Taxation on sale or exchange of Shares where shares or ADSs were acquired after April 19, 2001

 

The income tax law includes 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, in general terms, the amendment provides that to access to the capital gain exemption: (i) the shares must be of a public stock company with a

 

160



Table of Contents

 

certain minimum level of trading on a stock exchange; (ii) the sale must be carried out in a Chilean stock exchange, or on 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.  If the shares do not qualify for the exemption, capital gain on their sale or exchange, if any, will be taxed in accordance with the rules described in the preceding paragraph. In addition, if the exemption does not apply and the foreign holder has held the shares for less than one year, gains from the disposition of shares will be subject to both income and withholding tax as described in the preceding paragraph.  The date of acquisition of the ADSs is considered to be the date of acquisition of the shares for which the ADSs are exchanged.

 

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 nontaxable 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 is 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 is no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of shares or ADSs.

 

Material U.S. Income Tax Considerations

 

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof.  These authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.  This discussion is also based in part on representations by the Depositary and assumes that each obligation under the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

 

The following are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders described herein of owning and disposing of shares or ADSs, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person’s decision to hold such securities.  The discussion applies only if you hold shares or ADSs as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and it does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant in light of your particular circumstances, such as:

 

·

certain financial institutions;

·

insurance companies;

·

dealers and traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;

·

persons holding shares or ADSs as part of a hedge, “straddle,” integrated transaction or similar transaction;

·

persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

·

partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

·

persons liable for the alternative minimum tax;

·

tax-exempt organizations;

·

persons holding shares or ADSs that own or are deemed to own ten percent or more of our voting stock;

 

161



Table of Contents

 

·

persons who acquired our shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or

·

persons holding shares or ADSs in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States.

 

If an entity is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership.  Partnerships holding shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the shares or ADSs.

 

You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs and if you are, for U.S. federal tax purposes:

 

·

a citizen or individual resident of the United States, or,

·

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

·

an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

 

In general, if you own ADSs, you will be treated as the owner of the 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.

 

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom American depositary shares are released before shares are delivered to the Depositary (“pre-release”) or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between holders and the issuer of the security underlying the American depositary shares may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for holders of depositary shares.  Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced tax rate, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate holders.  Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of Chilean taxes, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

 

This discussion assumes that the Company is not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company, as described below.

 

The summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences set out below is intended for general informational purposes only.  You should consult your tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to you of owning or disposing of shares or ADSs, including the applicability and effect of state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws and the possibility of changes in tax laws.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

Distributions paid on shares or ADSs other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares will be treated as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles).  Because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. holders as dividends.

 

Subject to applicable limitations and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, dividends paid by qualified foreign corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. holders in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011 are taxable at a maximum rate of 15%.  A foreign company is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on stock that is readily tradable on a securities

 

162



Table of Contents

 

market in the United States, such as the New York Stock Exchange where our ADSs are traded.  You should consult your tax advisors to determine whether the favorable rate will apply to dividends you receive and whether you are subject to any special rules that limit your ability to be taxed at this favorable rate.

 

The amount of a dividend will include the net amount withheld by us in respect of Chilean withholding taxes on the distribution.  The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to you and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code.  Dividends will be included in your income on the date of your, or in the case of ADSs, the Depositary’s, receipt of the dividend.  The amount of any dividend paid in Chilean pesos will be a dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate for converting Chilean pesos into dollars in effect on the date of such receipt regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into dollars.  If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.  You may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into dollars on a date after the date of receipt.

 

Subject to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon your circumstances and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, the net amount of Chilean withholding tax (after reduction for the credit for Chilean corporate income tax, as discussed above under “—Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of Shares and ADSs — Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions”) withheld from dividends on shares or ADSs will be creditable against your U.S. federal income tax liability.  The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in your particular circumstances.  Instead of claiming a credit, you may, at your election, deduct such Chilean taxes in computing your taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law.  An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits must apply to all taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year to foreign countries and possessions of the United States.

 

Sale or Other Disposition of Shares or ADSs

 

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gain or loss you realize on the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs will be a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the shares or ADSs for more than one year.  The amount of your gain or loss will equal the difference between your tax base in the shares or ADSs disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition, in each case as determined in dollars.  Such gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

 

In certain circumstances, Chilean taxes may be imposed upon the sale of shares.  See “Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of Shares and ADSs.”  If a Chilean tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of shares, and a U.S. holder does not receive significant foreign source income from other sources, such U.S. holder may not be able to credit such Chilean tax against his U.S. federal income tax liability.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

We believe that we were not a “passive foreign investment company” (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2008 taxable year.  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% 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 a PFIC for any taxable year during which you held shares or ADSs, certain adverse consequences could apply to you, including the imposition of higher amounts of tax than would otherwise apply, and additional filing requirements.  You should consult your tax advisors regarding the consequences to you if we were a PFIC, as well as the availability and advisability of making any election, which may mitigate the adverse consequences of PFIC status.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Payments 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.

 

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Item 11(a) and 11(b)           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.  These risks are monitored and managed by the Company.  The Company’s Board of Directors approves risk management policies at all levels.

 

The Company does not enter into financial instruments for non-trading or speculative purposes.  As a result, the Company’s market risk is limited to trading risks.

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

In our electricity generation business, we are exposed to market risks arising from the volatility of electricity, natural gas, diesel oil and coal prices.  In order to manage these exposures, we enter into long-term contracts with suppliers and customers.

 

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, 2008 and 2007, we did not hold any contracts classified as derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments related to natural gas.

 

We are partially exposed to the volatility of coal and diesel oil prices.  In the countries where we operate, the dispatch mechanism allows the thermal power plant to cover its variable cost.  On the other hand, under certain circumstances, fuel price fluctuations might affect marginal costs.  Additionally, through adequate commercial risk mitigation policies, and a hydrothermal mix, we seek to naturally protect the commodity price volatility over our operating margin.  As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not hold any contracts classified as derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments related either to coal or to diesel oil.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we did not hold electricity price-sensitive instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

 

Of our total outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2008, 31.7% of such debt bore interest at floating rates compared to 31.4% in 2007.

 

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 derivatives.  The above percentages include the effect of interest rate derivatives (swaps or collars) that hedge part of our debt.

 

The recorded values for accounting purposes of our financial debt as of December 31, 2008, and the corresponding fair values of the significant financial instruments exposing us to interest rate risk are detailed below, according to the date of maturity.  Total values do not include interest rate derivatives.

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-term debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which is in dollar.  This risk is mitigated, as a substantial portion of our revenues is linked to the dollar either directly or indirectly.  Additionally, we manage this risk through the use of dollar/UF exchange currency swaps and dollar/peso forward foreign exchange contracts.  As of December 31, 2008, Enersis’ total consolidated indebtedness reached $7.9 billion, which includes the effect of currency hedging instruments.  From this amount, $3,091 million, or 39%, was denominated in dollars.  For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, our revenues amounted to $10,579 million of which $661 million, or 6%, were denominated in dollars, and $1,874 million, or 18%, were linked in some way to the dollar.  In the aggregate, 24% of our revenues were either in dollars or correlated to such currency through some form of indexation.  On the other hand, the equivalent of $2,097 million was revenues in pesos, which represents 20% of our 2008 revenues.  The revenue figures discussed in this context are all prior to consolidation adjustments.

 

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 peso and the change in the trend in which the UF began to devaluate against the 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.

 

167



Table of Contents

 

As of December 31, 2008, 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 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 peso, for accounting purposes our results from operations are affected by variations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the peso, due to the application of BT 64.  For further detail, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating results — Introduction — Technical Bulletin 64 (BT 64).

 

Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the results from operations for the period together with price-level restatement.

 

As of December 31, 2008, 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:

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13 (a) - 15 (e) and 15 (d) - 15 (e) under the Exchange Act) for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Based upon the Company’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is gathered and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Enersis’ Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining “adequate internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13 (a)-15 (f) under the Exchange Act).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted.

Table of Contents

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not necessarily prevent or detect some misstatements.  It can only provide reasonable assurance regarding financial statement preparation and presentation.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework “Internal Controls — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on the assessment, Enersis’ Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

(c) Attestation Report

 

Deloitte Auditores y Consultores Ltda., the independent registered accounting firm that has audited our Consolidated Financial Statements, has issued an attestation report on the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  This attestation report appears on page F-3.

 

(d) Changes in internal control

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 16A.        Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

On April 12, 2008, the Board of Directors determined that Patricio Claro 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 currently governed by means of three corporate rulings or policies: the Charter Governing Executives (Estatuto del Directivo) the Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets and the “Manual de Manejo de Información de Interés para el Mercado”.

 

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 officers of the Company, and to all senior management 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 our behavior in 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.

 

The Manual de Manejo de Información de Interés para el Mercado, was adopted by Enersis’ Board of Directors in May 2008 and addresses the following issues:  applicable standards to the information of transactions of the Company’s securities or those of its affiliates by directors, principal executives and other related parties; existence of blackout periods for such transactions by directors, principal executives and other related parties; existence of mechanisms for the continuous revelation of information that is of interest to the market; and mechanisms that provide protection for confidential information..

During fiscal year 2008, there have been no amendments to any provisions of the Charter Governing Executives, the Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets or the Manual de Manejo de Información de Interés para el Mercado.

 

No waivers from any provisions of the Charter Governing Executives, the Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets or the Manual de Manejo de Información de Interés para el Mercado, were expressly or implicitly granted to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or any other senior financial officer of the Company in fiscal year 2008.

The amounts included in the table above and the related footnotes have been classified in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) guidance, which are different in certain respects from the classifications made under our consolidated financial statements prepared for our parent company, Endesa Spain, in accordance with IFRS.

 

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 located in countries where applicable law and regulation so establishes, appoint their own external auditors. Enersis’ Audit Committee submits a proposal to the Board of Directors and to the Shareholder Meeting for the appointment of its external auditors.

 

The Audit Committee 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 related matters.

 

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. Since July 2005, all professional services including audit and non-audit services provided to Enersis or any of our subsidiaries are subject to such policy.

 

Fees payable in connection with recurring audit services are pre-approved by the Audit Committee and then approved as part of our annual budget. Fees payable in connection with non-recurring audit services, once they have been analyzed by the corporative audit department, are submitted to the Audit Committee for its pre-approval or denial.

 

The pre-approval policy established by the Audit Committee for non-audit services is as follows:

 

·

 

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.

·

 

At that point, the corporate audit department analyzes the request and requires 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 approval or denial.

 

All services described in footnote (1) to the table above were approved in line with the procedure described immediately above.

 

In addition, due to the SEC-PCAOB release number 34-53677 (Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Certain Tax Services), the Audit Committee has designed, approved and implemented the necessary procedures to fulfill the new requirements described by this rule.

Item 16G.                        Corporate Governance

 

The 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, and otherwise comply with the requirements of 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 did comply with 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.  The current members of this Committee, who satisfy the requirements of independence of NYSE, are: Messrs. Juan Eduardo Errázuriz, Patricio Claro and Hernán Somerville. As required by Chilean Law, Enersis also has a Directors’ Committee composed of three directors.  Although Chilean Law requires that the majority of the Directors’ Committee (two out of three members) be composed of directors who were not nominated by the votes of the controlling shareholder or, if excluding the votes from the controlling shareholders would have been elected nevertheless (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 two directors nominated with the votes of the controlling shareholder.

 

Our Directors’ Committee performs the following functions:

 

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

 

174



Table of Contents

 

·             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 compensation framework and plans for managers and executive officers; and

 

·             any other function mandated to the committee by the bylaws, the Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Company.

 

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 Patricio Claro.

 

The Audit Committee is composed of three independent members who also serve as directors of the Company.  It performs the following functions:

 

·             submits a proposal for the appointment and compensation of independent auditors at GSM;

 

·             oversees the work of independent auditors;

 

·             pre-approves audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors; and

 

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

 

Corporate Governance Guidelines

 

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules require U.S.-listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.  Although Chilean law does not contemplate this practice (except for the Manual), the Company has adopted the codes of conduct described above, and its GSM held on March 2006, approved the inclusion of articles in its bylaws that govern the creation, composition, attributions, functions and retribution of the Directors’ Committee and the Audit Committee.

Item 18.                 Financial Statements

 

Since October 10, 2007, the Italian energy company, Enel SpA (“Enel”), and the Spanish construction company, ACCIONA, S.A. (“Acciona”), jointly hold 92.06% of the share capital of Endesa, S.A. (“Endesa Spain”).  As of the date of this Report, Endesa Spain owns a 60.6% beneficial interest in Enersis, which is a Chilean publicly held limited liability stock company with subsidiaries engaged primarily in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

 

On February 20, 2009, Acciona and Enel announced that they had reached an agreement through which Acciona, directly and indirectly, will transfer to Enel Energy Group Srl, a wholly-owned Enel subsidiary, 25.01% of Endesa Spain’s share capital.  The transfer is subject to legal authorizations and the approval by relevant authorities.  As a result, Enel Energy Group Srl will hold 92.06% of Endesa Spain’s share capital.  Enel’s 25.01% additional stake in Endesa Spain will be exchanged for approximately € 11.1 billion in cash, as well as wind and hydroelectric assets located in Spain and Portugal which are valued at approximately € 2.9 billion.  The transfer of shares and assets is expected to take place by August 31, 2009. When the transaction is completed, Enel will hold a 55.8% beneficial interest in Enersis.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Enersis S. A.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enersis S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 (expressed in constant Chilean pesos). 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., certain of its consolidated subsidiaries and certain of its equity method investees (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Endesa-Chile”), which statements reflect total assets constituting 36.78% and 34.60% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and total revenues constituting 23.04%, 33.05% and 30.05% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and Empresa Distribuidora Sur, S.A. (“Edesur”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, which statements reflect total assets constituting 5.84% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2008, and total revenues constituting 6.26% of consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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 37, the financial statements of Endesa-Chile’s reflect 16.88% and 17.99% of the Enersis consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and 7.00%, 6.88% and 21.46% of the Enersis consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, while the financial statements of Edesur reflect 0.09% of the Enersis consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2008, and 0.13% of the Enersis consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to net income for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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 Endesa-Chile and Edesur, 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, 2007 and 2008, and the results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, 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, 2008, and the determination of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, to the extent summarized in Note 37 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

As discussed in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), effective January 1, 2009.

 

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.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 29, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit and the report of the other auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Enersis S.A.:

 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Enersis S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We did not examine the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and certain subsidiaries (collectively hereinafter referred to as “Endesa-Chile”), whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 34.60% and 30.05% percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The effectiveness of Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting was audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the effectiveness of Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 of the Company and our report dated May 29, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements based on our audit and the report of the other auditors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.(Endesa-Chile):

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries and nonsubsidiary investees carried on the equity method of accounting, which statements reflect total assets constituting 30.25 percent and total revenues constituting 24.46 percent of the Company’s related 2008 consolidated totals. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports were 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 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. An audit 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, 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. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 36 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader. We have audited the translation and, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements expressed in thousands of Chilean pesos, as restated for general price-level changes, have been translated into United States dollars on the basis set forth in note 2 b) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 35 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective January 1, 2009.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 29, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.(Endesa-Chile):

 

We have audited Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Endesa-Chile’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile):

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. 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 31.39 percent as of December 31, 2007 and total revenues representing of 38.08 percent and 33.76 percent for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, respectively. We also did not audit the consolidated financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method, which represented 6.84 percent of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2007 and the equity in their net results represented 19.6 percent and 9.5 percent of the consolidated net income for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, 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. An audit 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, 2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007 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 36 to the consolidated financial statements).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Emgesa S.A. E.S.P.:

 

We have audited the balance sheets of Emgesa S.A. E.S.P. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, all expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars (not separately 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 considerations 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

 

As described in greater detail in Note 1 to the financial statements, on August 17, 2007, the Office of the Superintendent of Corporations in Colombia authorized the merger through absorption between Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P. and Emgesa S.A. E.S.P.

 

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, 2008 and the determination of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 and 2007 to the extent summarized in Note 28.

 

Our audits also comprehended the translation of U.S. dollar amounts into constant Chilean Peso amounts and, in our opinion; such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 c). Such constant Chilean Peso amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in Chile.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Endesa Brasil S.A.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. 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 certain of its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries”), which statements reflect total assets constituting 30.63% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2007 and total revenues constituting 27.21% and 36.32% of consolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, 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 25, these financial statements reflect 54.43% of the Endesa Brasil consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 and 56.77% and 55.31% of the Endesa Brasil consolidated U.S. GAAP adjustments to net income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, 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 the Companies, 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, 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, 2008, and the determination of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, to the extent summarized in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the President and Board of Directors of

Transportadora de Energía S.A.:

 

We have audited the balance sheet of Transportadora de Energía S.A. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and the statements of operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007 (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 of America). 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transportadora de Energía S. A. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007 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 two years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and the determination of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 to the extent summarized in Note 20.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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.

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, 2007, except as stated)

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008

 

Note 1.      Description of Business

 

ENERSIS S.A., “Enersis” or the “Company” is registered in the Securities Register under No.0175 and is regulated by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (the “SVS”). The Company issued publicly registered American Depositary Receipts with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 1993 and 1996. Enersis  is a reporting company under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, Chilectra S.A. (formerly Elesur S.A.), Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“Endesa Chile”), Pehuenche S.A. and Aguas Santiago Poniente S.A., are registered in the Securities Register under No. 0931, 0114, 0293 and 0972, 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.

(iii)   The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of operations of Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies in the development stage are accounted for using the equity method, except that income or losses are included directly in equity instead of being reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company consolidates the financial statements of companies in which it controls over 50% of the voting shares, provided there are no substantive minority participating rights that prevent control, as detailed as follows:

b)     Years covered

 

These financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the results of its operations, the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

 

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, 2008 was approximately 18.4%.

 

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 in 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, equity 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 price level restatement 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 values of the Chilean consumer price indices used to reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso (“price-level restatement”)for accounting purposes are as follows:

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. When the Company’s indexed liabilities exceed its indexed assets, the increase (decrease) in the index results in a net loss (gain) on indexation. Values for the UF are as follows (historical Chilean pesos per UF):

Comparative financial statements

 

For comparative purposes, the 2006 and 2007 consolidated financial statements and the amounts disclosed in the related Notes have been restated in terms of the purchasing power of Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2008.

 

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.

 

Convenience translation to U.S. dollars

 

The financial statements are stated in Chilean pesos. The translations of Chilean pesos into 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, 2008 of Ch$636.45 to $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 dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

e)     Time deposits and marketable securities

 

Time deposits are presented at cost 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 receivable. 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$157,729,911, ThCh$203,685,907 and ThCh$179,623,370 as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the total sum owed by companies that have gone into bankruptcy amounting to ThCh$1,471,479 in 2006, ThCh$ 1,512,322 in 2007 and ThCh$1,478,461 in 2008 is included in the bad debt allowance estimation.

 

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.

 

In the case of real estate projects under development, inventory includes the cost of land, demolition, urbanization, payments to contractors and other direct costs.

 

The costs and revenues of construction in progress are accounted for under the completed contract method in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 39 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and are included in current assets as their realization is expected in the short-term.

Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 

h)             Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are valued at net replacement cost as determined by the former Superintendence 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 Technical Bulletin Bulletin No. 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 impairment to property, plant and equipment as a result of applying Technical Bulletin No. 33.

 

i)                Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense is generally calculated on the price-level restated balances using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see note 10). Certain property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the unit-of-production method when this method better reflects the depreciation expenses of these assets.

 

j)                Leased assets

 

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 unaccrued 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.

 

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 subsidized 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

 

The Company classifies an investment as an investment in a related company when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of such company. Investments in related companies are included in “Other assets” using the equity method. This accounting method recognizes the Company’s proportionate share in the net income or loss of each investee on an accrual basis in income (Note 11).

 

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”.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in related companies whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable. Such assessment requires determining the fair values of the equity method investments. Fair value is determined using valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flows and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that justifies the carrying amount of the investment. In the case the fair value is less than the carrying value and such decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, a write down is recorded. As indicated in Note 11, during the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company recorded an impairment of its investment in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding Limitada amounting to ThCh$48,890,387 (historical Chilean pesos)  as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment of the investment. The impairment charge includes a write down of the investment to its recoverable value and an impairment of goodwill which was recorded over the investment.

 

m)          Intangibles, other than goodwill

 

Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost and are subsequently price-level restated. Such assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed twenty years. Intangibles other than goodwill correspond mainly to easements, rights of way and water rights.

 

n)             Severance indemnities

 

The Company is obliged to pay its employees severance indemnities under collective bargaining agreements in Chile. Such indemnity is stated at the present value of the benefit under the vested cost method, discounted at 6.5% . See Note 37 II l.

 

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 receivables 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, and sale of materials.

 

p)              Cost of sales and Administrative and selling expenses

 

The cost of sales line item includes: purchased energy and power, materials, fuel, tolls and energy transportation cost, direct production salaries, productive assets’ depreciation, amortization, and maintenance and operational costs. The purchase of power amounted to ThCh$1,381,025,723, ThCh$1,415,814,999 and ThCh$ 1,937,510,480 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The administrative and selling expense line item includes: general and administrative expenses, materials and office supplies, overhead salaries, bad debt expense, non-productive assets’ amortization and depreciation.

 

q)              Income tax and deferred income taxes

 

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company recorded current tax expense (net) determined in accordance with the laws and regulations in each country in which it operates of ThCh$279,379,996, ThCh$236,069,385 and ThCh$368,213,415, respectively.  Additionally, it recorded a deferred tax expense of ThCh$(168,022,416) in 2006, deferred tax expense ThCh$39,608,173 in 2007 and ThCh$82,761,120 in 2008. 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, using the liability method, recording deferred income taxes for effects of

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 

temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are calculated using  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)              Purchase with resale agreements

 

Purchase with resale 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, 2006, 2007 and 2008 the Company and its subsidiaries have forward contracts, currency swaps, and interest rate swaps and collars with several financial institutions.  Such contracts are mainly used by the Company to hedge against foreign currency and interest risk exposures, which are recorded according to Technical Bulletin No.57 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

 

v)               Goodwill and negative goodwill

 

Prior to January 1, 2004, goodwill arose from the excess of the purchase price of companies acquired over their net book value; negative goodwill arose when net book value exceeded the purchase price of companies acquired.

 

Beginning January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Technical Bulletin No.72 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, which changes the basis for determining accounting for goodwill and negative goodwill generated in transactions after January 1, 2004, based on an allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and identifiable liabilities assumed. Goodwill and negative goodwill are also generated with the purchase of equity method investees. Both goodwill and negative goodwill are normally amortized over the maximum period of twenty years considering the expected period of return of the investments.

 

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment of recorded goodwill, a goodwill impairment test is performed by the Company. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the level of cash generating units (“CGU”).

 

The testing of goodwill for impairment involves two steps:

 

F-33



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 

1.             The first step is to compare each CGU’s fair value with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The CGU’s fair value is determined using market prices, or, if not available, valuation techniques including discounted cash flow approaches. If a CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indicator for goodwill impairment exists and step two is performed.

2.             The second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. The implied fair value represents the excess of the CGU’s net identifiable assets over the CGU’s net assets at fair value. Any excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value is recorded as an impairment loss, writing down the carrying amount of goodwill to its implied fair value.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill over its equity method investment in Inversiones Gas Atacama Limitada amounting to ThCh$53,241,631. (See Note 11)

 

Goodwill related to investments accounted for under the equity method is tested for impairment together with the associated investment as though goodwill formed part of the carrying amount of the investment. See Note 2 l).

 

w)            Pension and post-retirement benefits

 

Pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded based on actuarially determined projected benefit obligations in accordance with the respective collective bargaining contracts of employees.  (See Note 37 II l.)

 

x)              Bonds

 

Bonds payable are recorded at the face value of the bonds. The difference between the face value and the issuance proceeds, 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.

 

aa)        Cost of shares issued

 

Costs incurred to date associated with issuance and placing of shares are recorded according to the provisions of Circular No.1370 of 1998 of the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance. The amounts are deducted from the share premium account.

 

bb)          Litigation and other legal action

 

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.

 

As of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the Company has established accruals for probable losses in the aggregate amount of ThCh$181,629,175 (ThUS$285,379) and ThCh$186,923,910 (ThUS$ 293,698), respectively.

Note 3. Changes in Accounting Principles

 

a)              On November 14, 2006 the SVS issued Circular 1819 with instructions on treating organizational and start-up costs, which superseded Circular 981, effective until December 31, 2006.  This change resulted in the recording of effects of the losses of investee companies in development and start-up phases in income as of January 1, 2007 and absorbtion of the accumulated deficit in the period of development at subsidiary Endesa Chile. As a result of adoption of Circular 1819, gains or losses associated with organizational and start-up costs previously accumulated in a special component of equity were reclassified as a transition adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2007. The amount reclassified as of January 1, 2007 amounted to ThCh$325,438, before minority interest. Pursuant to the transitional provision of Circular 1819, prior year income statement and balance sheet were not restated.

 

Except as indicated above, there were no others changes in accounting principles during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 that would affect the comparison with the prior year financial statements.

e)     Constitution of companies

 

i.      On September 4, 2006, Endesa Chile and its subsidiary Endesa Inversiones Generales S.A. executed the incorporation deed that gave birth to a new subsidiary, whose name is Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. and whose objective is the development, financing, ownership and operation of a hydroelectric project in the 11th Region (Aysén). The capital of the company is ThCh$1,169 divided into 100 ordinary, single-series, nominal, equivalent, no par-value shares. Endesa Chile subscribed 99 shares, representing 99% of the capital,

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

and paid the total amount, a sum of ThCh$1,169, while Endesa Inversiones Generales S.A. subscribed one share, representing 1% of the capital, and paid in ThCh$$12 for it.

 

On September 21, 2006 the First General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. was held and in it the increase in the paid-in capital of the Company to the new sum of ThCh$23,391,720 divided into 2 million nominal, single-series, no par value shares, was approved. This will be subscribed to and paid in within three years of the date of the above mentioned First Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting. In this way, of the 1,999,900 shares corresponding to the increase in paid-in capital, Endesa Chile would subscribe to 1,019,900 shares, representing 51% of the increase in capital and 50.99995% of the new capital of the Company, while the new shareholder Colbún S.A. would subscribe to 980,000 shares, representing 49% of the increase in paid-in capital and 49% of the new paid-in capital. Endesa Inversiones Generales S.A. will not exercise its preferential subscription right, and therefore its interest in the paid-in capital of the Company will be 0.00005%.

 

On October 10, 2006, Endesa Chile subscribed to 1,019,899 shares, paying in a total of ThCh$11,880,881 for them, or Ch$11,650 per share, a sum equivalent to the placement value agreed to in the First General Shareholders’ Meeting of Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A.. At the same time, it subscribed to an additional 1 share, paying in a total of Ch$11,650 for it, equivalent to the placement value agreed to in the First General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. However, the payment for this share was made in accordance with the terms set out in the public deed of “Payment of Shares Subscribed to for Transfer of Title and the Constitution of Usufruct on the Rights to Use the Water”, which was executed by the parties as of the same date, and according to which Ch$11,650 were paid in cash, plus a contribution for the ownership of the title to the rights to use the water that are identified in the above deed.

 

On October 16, 2007, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. was held. The shareholders increased its capital by ThCh$14,565,375 representing 1,337,500 single series, no par value shares, which shall be subscribed and paid in within 3 years after the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting. At the same time, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. subscribed 682,125 shares for a total of ThCh$7,428,341, of which it paid ThCh$1,219,136 by capitalizing credits and ThCh$2,106,746  in cash. On December 17, 2007, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. paid in ThCh$2,083,823 by means of a cash payment to the account of this capital increase.

 

ii.     On March 9, 2007, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. subscribed 200 of the 1,000 registered shares issued by public deed of the Company GNL Quintero S.A.. It paid for them by assigning, transferring and capitalizing in the Company accounts receivable of ThCh$2,190,919 from its investee GNL Chile S.A.. The ownership interest of Endesa Chile in GNL Quintero S.A. is 20%. On May 31, 2007 the pending contribution of ThCh$771 in GNL Chile S.A. was paid by capitalizing the account receivable.

 

iii.    On October 29, 2007, the company Central Eólica Canela S.A. was incorporated. Its shareholders are the subsidiary Endesa Eco S.A., which owns 75%, and Centinela S.A., which owns 25%. As of this date, this subsidiary forms part of the consolidated financial statements of the company.

 

By means of a shareholders’ agreement of November 23, 2007, Endesa Eco S.A. and Centinela S.A. stipulated the terms and conditions for the latter’s withdrawal 5 years after signing such agreement. The above agreement stipulates that Centinela S.A. will have the option of withdrawing from the company by selling its ownership interest to Endesa Eco S.A.. As a result of the above, minority interest has been recorded in sundry long-term creditors.

 

iv.    On April 15, 2008, the Company paid capital contributions of ThCh$2,108,778 in Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A., whose subscription was pending. This transaction served to pay off all the 682,125 shares subscribed on October 16, 2007.

 

v.     On April 30, 2008, the company purchased 1,667,700 shares of Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A., paying ThCh$7,236,710 for 685,950 shares on June 5, 2008. The balance of 981,750 shares will be paid within a period of three years.

f)                Reorganization of entities under common control

 

i.      On April 1, 2006, the subsidiaries Chilectra S.A. (formerly Elesur S.A.) and Chilectra S.A. merged, as was approved in a Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31, 2006. As a result of the merger and according to Technical Bulletin N°72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants, this business combination subject to common control was recorded under the pooling of interests methodology, causing an increase of ThCh$3,531,613 in shareholders’ equity

 

ii.     On August 3, 2007, Endesa Chile Internacional S.A. was subject to a takeover merger by Sociedad Compañía Eléctrica Cono Sur S.A., with the latter subsisting as the company making the takeover. This merger was approved and ratified in the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings of both companies on August 7, 2007.

 

This merger had no effect, since Endesa Chile was the main 100% shareholder of both companies

 

iii.    On September 1, 2007, the merger of the Colombian companies Emgesa S.A. and Central Hidroeléctrica Betania S.A., approved by the Shareholders’ Meetings of both companies of February 21, 2007, took place by Betania taking over Emgesa, with the former subsisting as the company making the take over and changing its name Emgesa S.A.

 

The above transaction has been recorded as stipulated in Technical Bulleting 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants as a combination of companies under common control based on the methodology of the unification of interests.

 

As a result of this merger Endesa Chile and its subsidiary Compañía Eléctrica Cono Sur S.A. hold a direct 26.87% (1.45% and 25.43%, respectively) share of this new company. This ownership interest eliminates the 99.99% previously held in Betania S.A.. Before the merger, Betania S.A. held a 23.45% ownership interest in Emgesa S.A.

 

As a result of the above, an equity reduction of reserves of ThCh$61,741,337  has been recognized

 

g)    Acquisitions

 

i.      On January 13, 2006, the Company purchased 5,500 shares in Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. for ThCh$6,594, increasing it direct ownership interest in such company to 94.97%.

 

On July 20, 2006, the Company acquired 3,500 shares of Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. for ThCh$4,110, increasing its direct ownership interest in that company to 94.975189%.

 

ii.     In Peru, on June 1, 2006, Empresa de Generación Termoeléctrica Ventanilla S.A. (Etevensa) was upstream merged into the subsidiary Edegel S.A.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

As a result of the merger and in accordance with Technical Bulletin N° 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants, this business combination subject to common control was recorded under the pooling of interests methodology and led to decreasing the interest in Edegel S.A. to 55.44% and recognizing a reduction in other reserves, under shareholders’ equity, by ThCh$6,734,291 (See note 22e).

 

iii.    Through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on October 5, 2004, the Corporación Financiera del Valle will stop being shareholder of the Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. through an asset exchange operation which will take place between the Corfivalle Group and Endesa Group when the legal processes defined by both parties prior to the delivery of the titles to the assets involved are completed. On December 29, 2006 the writ of the splitting of Betania was protocolized, and with that the transfer of ownership of the assets forming part of the Corfivalle group was formalized.

 

With this operation, the Endesa Chile Group gave to Corfivalle the electricity Sub-station of Betania S.A. E.S.P. and 3.81% of the ownership in Empresa de Energía de Bogotá S.A. E.S.P., in exchange for a 14.3% interest in Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P which at that date was owned by Corfivalle; thus Endesa Chile Group increased its interest in Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P from 85.62% to 99.99%.

 

In accordance with Technical Bulletin N° 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and Circular N°1697 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the Company evaluated the assets and liabilities acquired from Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. at their respective fair market values. As a result of this evaluation it was concluded that the fair market values do not differ substantially from the book values.

 

As a result, the above mentioned purchase of the minority interest was recorded in conformity with Technical Bulletin No. 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and involved recognizing negative goodwill amounting to ThCh$8,554,907. (See note 13b).

 

iv.    On February 27, 2007, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. proceeded to acquire 19,574,798 ordinary, registered, non-endorsable shares of Southern Cone Power Argentina S.A. for ThCh$5,995,273. These shares represent 100% of the capital of Southern Cone Power Argentina S.A., which is the holder of 8,081,160 class A shares of Endesa Costanera S.A., representatives of 5.5% of this Company’s capital stock, which is the only asset of Southern Cone Power Argentina S.A.. As a result of the above, Endesa Chile now directly and indirectly owns 69.77% of the stock of Endesa Costanera S.A..

 

v.     On March 08, 2007, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. finalized signature of a contract to purchase all the shares of Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., held directly or indirectly by CMS Generation S.R.L.. Endesa Chile made use of its “first refusal” option giving it the preferential purchase option under a shareholders’ agreement. The operation meant acquiring 2,734,110 class R shares and 1,733,390 class L shares equivalent to 25% of the stock capital of Hidroinvest S.A., the company which controls 59% of Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., as well as 7,405,768 shares of Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., equivalent to 2.4803% of the stock capital of the Company, which gave it the preferential purchase option under a shareholders’ agreement, for US$50,000,000 (ThCh$31,394,520). As a result of the above, Endesa Chile now directly and indirectly owns 67.67% of the stock capital of Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A.

 

According to the provisions of Technical Bulletin 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and the standards stipulated in 1.697 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the Company evaluated the assets and liabilities acquired from Endesa Costanera S.A. and Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. at their respective fair values. This evaluation showed that the fair values do not differ significantly from book values.

 

As a result of the above, the above minority interest was recorded as stipulated in Technical Bulletin 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and a negative goodwill of ThCh$2,216,425 was recognized in Endesa Costanera S.A. and ThCh$5,883,599 in Central Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. (See note 13b).

 

vi.    On March 27, 2007, Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel el Melón S.A. increased its paid-in capital by issuing 3,169,614,306 shares at a total amount of ThCh$34,893,978, with the Company concurring 100%, through a

cash payment of ThCh$18,433,872 and capitalization of loans in the amount of ThCh$16,460,040, thereby increasing the Company’s participation in that company by 0.01% to 100%

 

h)             Dissolution of related parties:

 

i.      As a company restructuring in Colombia, on January 30, 2006 Capital de Energía S.A. (Cesa), owner of 48.48% of Emgesa S.A. was liquidated.  51.00% of Cesa, in turn, was controlled by Central Hidroeléctrica Betania S.A.

 

As a result of such restructuring, as stipulated in Technical Bulletin 72 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants, this transaction by companies under common control was booked using the pooling of interests methodology, which meant reducing the ownership interest of Emgesa S.A. to 23.45% and recognizing an equity increase in reserves of ThCh$2,237,266 (see note 22e).

 

ii.     On September 1, 2008, Compañía Eléctrica Conosur S.A, a Panamanian subsidiary of Endesa Chile, was wound up. This winding-up was approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the wound-up company on September 1, 2008.

 

This winding-up did not result in material financial statement impact as Endesa Chile was the majority shareholder, with a 100% ownership interest in the company.  As a result, all related assets and liabilities were absorbed by Endesa Chile.

 

iii.    On December 22, 2008, Endesa Brasil Participacoes Ltda., a Brazilian subsidiary of Endesa Argentina S.A. and Endesa Chile Matriz., which had 95% and 5% ownership interests, respectively, was wound up. This winding-up did not result in material financial statement impact as Endesa Chile directly or indirectly had a 100% ownership interest in the company.

 

i)                Business Structure

 

CIEN sells electricity in Argentina and Brazil. Because of the reduction in the maximum availability of the generation and physical guarantee of energy and its associated power, the Company is focusing its business on a different compensation structure that is not based on the purchase and sale of energy between the countries.  Given the strategic importance of the Company’s assets in the relations between Brazil and Argentina, the Brazilian government has been presented with a new business plan model changing its selling activity to an electricity transmission activity with payment of a fixed compensation, which is in the process of being approved. This presupposes integrating its transmission lines with the Brazilian transmission grid operated by the Brazilian Government.

 

As in 2007, this year the Argentinean government formalized payment of usage charges with the Company for conveying energy between the two countries. Management considers that this situation further emphasizes the importance of the application made to the Brazilian government to approve the new business plan and considers that it will probably be approved. The Company expects to have the business structure defined in 2009.

 

j)                Impairment of investment accounted for under the equity-method

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of its investment in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding Limitada and subsidiaries, as the Company believes that the investment is other-than-temporary impaired.

 

Gas Atacama Holding Limitada and its subsidiaries operate gas pipelines between Argentina and Chile, as well as power generating thermoelectrical plants in the north of Chile.

 

In 2007, Gas Atacama’s subsidiary GasAtacama Generación S.A. (GAG), has been notified of the arbitration sentence in its dispute with the electricity distribution companies Empresa Eléctrica de Arica S.A., Empresa

 

F-53



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

Eléctrica de Iquique S.A. and Empresa Eléctrica de Antofagasta S.A., before the arbitrator Ricardo Peralta, in which GAG demanded the termination of the electricity supply contracts signed with those distributors.

 

The result of the arbitration has been unfavorable for GAG, thus further aggravating the entities’s delicate operative and financial situation.

 

Due to the facts and circumstances described above, the Company believes that the impairment of its investment in Gas Atacama is other-than-temporary as it is rather influenced by changes in the economical environment, situation of raw material supply and other circumstances which are not deemed to be temporary in nature.

 

The Company performed an impairment test by comparing the fair value of the investment in Gas Atacama (determined using a discounted cash-flow approach as no market value is available) to the respective carrying amount (including goodwill), resulting in the investment (including goodwill) being impaired.

 

Thus, as of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of ThCh$ 48,953,062 (historical Chilean pesos) in its Consolidated Statements of Income, which is comprised of ThCh$ 62,675 (historical Chilean pesos)  of impairment charge of goodwill recorded over the investment in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding and ThCh$ 48,890,387 (historical Chilean pesos) related to the impairment of the investment accounted for under the equity method. These amounts were recorded within the lines “Amortization of goodwill” and “Equity participation in losses of related companies”, respectively in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In November 2004 the Company obtained a syndicated loan of US$350 million through a revolving credit agreement, with a maturity in November 2009. The outstanding amount at the end of 2008 was US $150 million. The spread depends on the corporate rate provided by S&P. At December 31, 2008 the risk rating is BBB and the current spread is 0.375%. On December 7, 2006 Enersis signed a new revolving loan for US $200 million maturing on December 7, 2009 with a spread over Libor of 0,250%.  This second revolving facility has not been used.

 

On November 5, 2004, Endesa Chile entered into a revolving facility of US $250 million, which matures on November 11, 2010, and has a 0.375% spread over Libor, which had been completely drawn as of December 31, 2008.

 

On January 26, 2006, Endesa Chile entered into a second revolving facility for US $200 million, which matures on July 26, 2011 and has a 0.300% spread over Libor. This facility has also been completely drawn as of December 31, 2008.

 

On December 7, 2006  Endesa Chile signed a new revolving loan for US $200 million, due on December 7, 2009 with a spread of 0,250% over Libor.  As of December 31, 2008, no withdrawals have been made from this facility.

 

On June 16, 2008, Endesa Chile subscribed a fourth loan, with 50% fixed term and 50% revolving facility, totaling US$400 million and maturing on June 16, 2014, with a spread of 0.750% above Libor. US $200 million of this loan had been drawn as of December 31, 2008.

 

The revolving credits of Enersis and Endesa Chile may be paid down and drawn at any moment prior to expiration.

Interest is payable on a semi-annual basis and principal is due upon maturity. The tranche 3 bond holders had a put option in 2003, which was exercised by nearly all holders in November 2003 for US$149,142,000.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, UF/US$swap contracts were entered into for US$100,000,000 associated with the series the tranche 1 bond and US$250,000,000 associated with tranche 2.

 

During November, 2006 US$300 million from series one of the Yankee Bonds were paid off. This operation meant liquidating swap for US$100 million associated with this bond.

 

During November, 2001, Enersis Internacional a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enersis made a tender offer for total or partial cash purchase of the tranche 2 Yankee Bonds, with a par value of ThUS$350,000 maturing at 20 years in 2016.

 

As a result of this offer, tranche 2 bonds with par value of of ThUS$100,266 were bought in the amount of ThUS$95,536.

 

As a result of the liquidation of Enersis Internacional S.A. on September 21, 2006, the parent Enersis S.A. was allocated its assets and liabilities, which included such bonds among its assets.

 

Given the above, as of  December 31, 2008 the bonds are presented net of the repurchase.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 


(1)     On June 30, 2007, Endesa Chile notified CMS Enterprises Company (the entity controlling 50% of Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding and subsidiaries) of its decision to exercise its right of first offer to purchase the interest held by CMS Enterprises Company in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding for US$80 million. Included in this amount was the purchase of a sponser loan that CMS had grants to Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding and its subsidiaries.

 

On the same date, Endesa Chile and Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III L.P. (“Southern Cross”) subscribed a sale and purchase agreement for 50% of Endesa Chile s participation in Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries and in its sponsor loans to Southern Cross for the amount of US$80 million.

 

Endesa Chile, by exercising its right of first offer to purchase from CMS and selling this participation on the same date and in a linked transaction to Southern Cross acted as an agent and thus did not record any gains or losses related to the sale and purchase of the participation.

Case/Identification

:

(CIADI Case ARB/03/21)

 

Summary of proceedings: 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. (“Edesur”)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 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 = Arg$1, of tariff values calculated in American dollars, and the prohibition to apply biased tariff updating. In practice, this process has not been promoted by the Government, and no measures to prevent losses for the Plaintiff have been formalized. Edesur 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 International Center for the Settlement of Disputes regarding Investments between States and Nationals of Other States (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-petition and re-response of the parties, setting a brief term for them. And the parties met the term. On June 15, 2005, Edesur S.A. entered with the UNIREN into an Understanding Letter within the framework of the process for renegotiating Edesur’s Concession Contract, envisaged in Law No.25,561 and supplementary regulation. As a result of the Understanding Letter, on August 29, 2005, the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy were entered into. At the request of the Argentine Government, the Minutes of Agreement were executed again, on the same terms and conditions, on February 15, 2006, to include the new female Minister of Economy and Production. The Minutes envisage a Transitional Rate Regimen, retroactively effective beginning on November 1, 2005; require approval of the authorities for paying dividends during the life of the transitional regime; and include other aspects associated with investments, quality of service, penalties applied to Edesur, and unpaid penalties. Also, it establishes a Full Rate Revision, by which a new rate regime is to be set, which was scheduled to become effective on November 1, 2006, and for the next 5 years, under the supervision of the ENRE, in accordance with law 24,065. In addition, the Understanding Letter imposes the obligation of initially suspending, and subsequently dropping, all actions filed against the Argentinean State by Edesur and its shareholders. Such requirement would cause Enersis S.A. to suspend the international arbitration started on April 25, 2003 with the CIADI. After publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina of the resolution approving the rates arising from the Full Rates Revision, Enersis and its subsidiaries Chilectra S.A., Endesa Chile and Elesur S.A. (currently, Chilectra S.A.) would drop the abovementioned international arbitration started with the CIADI. 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. On March 28, 2006, the court ordered the suspension of the proceedings for a term of 12 months, after which it will call on the parties to report on the status of the negotiation conducted in accordance with the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy. Subsequently, the court will decide whether or not the proceedings should continue. The Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy, after being approved by the Congress of the Argentine Nation, were ratified by the Executive National Argentine Power through decree 1959 of 2006, published on the Official Gazette on January 8, 2007, and now their regulation by the ENRE is pending. ENRE Resolution 50/2007, of January 30, 2007, published in the Official Gazette on February 5, 2007, proceeded to comply with certain stipulations of the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy, approving the amounts of the new

Edesur Rate Table that reflects the increases in cost provided for in the Transition Rate Regimen, and issuing certain rules governing predictions contained in the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy. In particular, with regard to its most important effects, the ENRE adopted the following decisions among others: 1. Approval of the new Rate Table reflecting the Transition Rate Regimen: ENRE approved the amounts of Edesur’s Rate Table leading to the Transition Rate Regimen provided for in the Minutes of Agreement for the Adequacy of the Concession Contract for the Public Service of Distribution and Marketing of Electric Energy and, therefore implements the increase of 23% above typical distribution costs (which does not affect T1R1 and T1R2 rates), above connection costs and above service restoration costs incurred by Edesur, as well as also the additional average increase of 5% above the above typical distribution costs earmarked for executing a works plan. 2. Date of application of the new Rate Table reflecting the Transition Rate Regimen: ENRE Resolution 50/2007 decreed application of the above new Rate Table starting from the invoicing of the consumption recorded after zero hours of February 1, 2007. 3. Cost Monitoring Mechanism: ENRE Resolution No. 50/2007 stipulated application of a positive variation of 9.962% of the Cost Monitoring Mechanism Indices to the service costs, with such application being made starting from May 1, 2006 (on which date the first six-month period after November 1, 2005 for review of the prices provided for in the MMC ended). For invoicing the amounts of such variation, the Resolution also stipulated that it should be broken down and charged in 55 installments.  The plaintiffs petitioned the court to extend the stay of the proceedings for a further 12 month period. In this regard, on March 9, the Court issued Resolution SE No. 433/2007 whereby the Minister of Energy extended the Contractual Transition Period, provided for in the Heads of Agreement, to the date on which the rate table resulting from the Full Rate Annulment comes into force, which is February 1, 2008. The Resolution also indicated that the stay of actions provided for in the Heads of Agreement was extended through to the time when the above rate table comes into force, when actions could be taken again always provided that Edesur had fulfilled certain obligations. On August 1, 2007, the Court decided to maintain the stay through January 8, 2008, at the request of the parties. As the Court required the parties to inform in regard to the situation related to the process of negotiation in accordance with the Agreement Document, on January 19, 2008 the parties described the delay in the implementation of the Rate Review and requested the arbitrators to extend the current interruption for a 9 month period, notwithstanding that if there are doubts in regard to the approval of the Rate Review, they can urge to begin the process again before the end of the extension period. The Republic of Argentina did not have objections to the request. The decision of the Court informed on March 28, 2008 was to extend the interruption until November 19, 2008. On that date the Court would request the parties to inform about the situation of the process of negotiation in accordance with the Agreement Document and then it would decide in regard to the need to continue or not with the arbitration proceeding. After the expiration of the interruption of the proceeding that had been authorized until November 19, 2008, a communication from ICSID was received on November 20, 2008. Such communication stated a period until December 1, 2008 to inform about the status of the negotiations between the parties in order to solve on the interruption of the arbitration proceeding. On December 1, 2008 the plaintiffs informed the Court about the status of the actions that gave rise to the interruption of the arbitration proceeding and requested the extension of the interruption until June 30, 2009 in order to cover the period for the effective date of the Rate Review of Edesur; notwithstanding that, if the plaintiffs have doubts about the approval of the Rate Review as agreed, the plaintiffs reserved the right to request to start the proceeding again without the need for awaiting for the end of the period of extension of the interruption that the Court may agree. On December 3, 2008 the Republic of Argentina informed the Court that it is not opposed to continue the interruption of the proceeding. We are waiting for the Court’s confirmation and communication of the interruption requested.

Amounts:  Enersis, US$574.7 millions, Chilectra US$723 millions and Endesa Chile US$9.2 millions plus interest.

Summary of proceedings: On July 15, 2004, Mr. Alvaro Pérez Uz (linked to the Endesa, S.A:Group), liquidator of Luz de Bogotá S.A., registered minutes No. 26 of July 9, 2004, containing the final winding up count, in the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce. Payment for such registration was Col$48,000. The remainder that was distributed to the partners amounted to Col$1,764,208,721,394, which is the sum, according to the plaintiffs, making up the base to which 0.7% to be paid to the Department of Cundinamarca, should be applied, according to Ordinance  24 of 1997 and articles

226, 229 and 230 of Law 223 of 1995. The Chamber initially rejected the registration so that the liquidator should include the distribution of the surplus as a document with no value. Based on articles 89, 218 and 431 of the Commercial Code, the liquidator stated that the liquidation minutes did not need to state the amounts of the surplus. The Chamber accepted the argument and registered the minutes. According to the plaintiffs, the Department of Cundinamarca lost Col$12,349,461,050 as a result. Consequently, the plaintiff petitions for the Chamber to be ordered to pay that amount, plus penalty interest, plus a penalty of 160% for inaccurate declaration, plus 15% for the tax not paid as an incentive in affairs involving administrative morality. Mrs. Martha Teresa Briceño de Valencia bought the litigation rights of Mrs. Omayra Cely and Rosa Elvira Viracachá Tunarosa, who filed the original lawsuit.

Process status: The judicial decree dated May 6, 2008 resolved some evidence and rejected other evidence. For this reason, the representative of Endesa filed a resort that was favorable. Through judicial decree dated June 11, 2008 the Court ordered the submission of evidence for October 15, 2008 and the proof of private documents that it had rejected initially. On August 21, 2008 it was decided to withdraw the attestation of Dr. John Bayron Arango, who had stated that his possible contribution was not significant from a judicial point of view. On August 25, 2008 the Court accepted that withdrawal. On October 15, 2008 the attestations of Lucy Cruz de Quiñones, Rodrigo Hernández Estrada and Álvaro Cala Carrizosa took place. On October 22, 2008 the Court accepted the transfer of litigious rights to be activated on behalf of Martha Teresa Briceño de Valencia to Rosa Elvira Viracacha Tunarosa and Helder Navarro Carriazo. The proceeding is pending in regard to the end of the period allowed for producing evidence and transfer for pleadings of conclusion. At the same time on December 13, 2007 the Tax Authority of Cundinamarca issued a Tax Assessment to the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá for Col$44 billion, including a sanction for inaccuracy. The Chamber filed an appeal for reconsideration on February 13, 2008. The District of Cundinamarca has one year to solve the appeal. We do not exclude the possibility that this may result in a dispute relating to an action under administrative law, in which Endesa Internacional, Enersis Agencia and Chilectra Agencia may be involved as defendants.

Summary of proceedings: In accordance with a provision in Power Law 24065, the power sector concessionaire companies must pay a significant rate to the ENRE 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 Argentine Treasury these financial surpluses. The Company believes this resolution to be confiscatory in nature, because the rate represents a payment for a service provided, and no portion of it should become income for the government.

The installation was suspended by the defendant through Decree No.1207/05, of which the plaintiff is seeking that it be pronounced unconstitutional and inapplicable. Also, an injunction was requested from the court. The court granted the injunction, suspending the application of Decree No. 758/05, and ordering the district authorities to refrain from stopping the development and/or completion of the installation of the underground 132-KV line linking the sub-station located there, as well as the adequacy and remodeling of the line.

Process status: The Court decided favorably with regard to the petition for a precautionary measure, suspending application of the Decree and enabling Edesur to set up its facilities and then energize them with the intervention of ENRE and Universidad Nacional de La Plata. The community appealed against the precautionary measure. The Municipality filed a plea against the service of process. Since the above precautionary measure had become a self-gratifying measure, a petition was filed to have the proceeding disregarded.

Codensa did not take part in the concession contract.

Summary of Proceedings: Meridional - Mistral and Civel, represented by Meridional, claim they are creditors of the former state electricity distribution company CELF, resulting from the existence of contracts of jobs undertaken for said company. Meridional in its representation demands payment of invoices supposedly outstanding and the payment of contractual fines for rescission of the contracts for the above mentioned jobs, for the sum of R$136,085,827.20

Process status: On December 18, 2007 the court records returned from the prosecuting authority and were favorable to Ampla’s argument; therefore, the civil appeal of Meridional lost its purpose.

Case/Identification

: Arbitration procedure No. 03/2005

 

Summary of Proceedings: On December 22, 2002, Ampla and Enertrade signed a 20-year electric energy sales contract (40MW average). This contract was sent to ANEEL for its evaluation and resulting official approval. ANEEL approved the contract because certain conditions were fulfilled, among them, a 25% reduction in the price of the contracted energy (from R$97.4 R$72.6/MWh). Given this determination, Ampla only paid the value authorized by ANEEL. ENERTRADE sustained that the contract was tacitly approved by ANEEL due to the passage of time and obtained, through judicial demand No.2003.34.00.023785-2 against ANEEL, a provisional judicial measure that suspended the effects of the condition imposed by ANEEL, declaring the contract tacitly approved by that entity. ANEEL has not yet been able to have this provisional measure annulled. With the purpose of confirming the right assured by the provisional measure, Enertrade, in December 2005, established an arbitration procedure against Ampla, under nº 3/2005 in the Cámara de Conciliación y Arbitraje of the Fundación Getúlio Vargas/RJ. Ampla continued to pay the reduced rate because, in addition to not being part of the process, it was not authorized to transfer the full cost to its tariffs.

Process status: On February 29, 2008 the Arbitration Court delivered a judgment establishing a due date (March 24, 2008) for closing the investigation. On March 17, 2008 the Arbitration Court extended the closing of the investigation for 30 days. On March 20, 2008 the Arbitration Court delivered a judgment extending the period for completing the arbitration proceedings No.03/05 and No.04/06 to September 22, 2008. On April 28, 2008 Ampla filed a claim against the expert’s requirements. On May 16, 2008 the Arbitration Court deferred the extension of the period for 15 days for delivering the accounting expert’s finding. On June 10, 2008 the accounting expert filed his finding at the Arbitration Court and to the technical assistants of Ampla and Enertrade. On June 20, 2008 Ampla informed that it was opposed to some points in the expert’s finding. On June 27, 2008 the Arbitration Court fixed the date for the adjudicative hearing (July 22, 2008). The hearing took place on July 22, 2008. On August 29, 2008 the Arbitration Court turned down the claim for partial judgment filed by Enertrade. On December 19, 2008 the Court informed the extension of the period to issue the judgment for 60 days.

Amount R$ 110.2 millions - US$ 46.5 millions.

Case/Identification

: Arbitration procedure No. 04/2006

Summary of Proceedings: Counterclaim by Ampla against Enertrade. The facts of this procedure are the same as arbitration procedure 03/2005. Bearing in mind that the arbitration rules of this Chamber do not consider counterclaims, Ampla petitioned for a new arbitration to be established, with a view to decreeing the nullity of the contract or, alternatively, its avoidance. In this case, the same arbitration court has jurisdiction for hearing the case, which shall be processed together with the other proceeding. On August 28, 2006, Ampla petitioned in the arbitration court for the nullity of the contract entered into with Enertrade, or, alternatively, vacating it, maintaining simply that the contract is null and void, since it was not ratified by ANEEL, as stipulated in the law, which was an essential condition for entering into the contract; also null and void because it infringes Law 8.884/94; it was entered into in unfair terms and conditions, typifying the abuse of the power of control; and the contract fails to comply with its business function.

Process status: Rebuttal and rejoinder presented. On January 12, 2007, the parties presented graphs showing the stock ownership of the companies involved in the arbitration, as well as also information about the companies that audited the parties and the companies linked to them. At the request of the Court of Arbitration, Ampla clarified the information presented, indicating the other auditing companies of the Endesa Spain Group. On February 12, 2007, the petition for expert accounting and technical testimony required by Ampla was ordered, as well as also for expert witnesses. On March 2, 2007, the technical assistants were appointed and the legal standing and role of the witnesses presented. Enertrade challenged the issues presented by Ampla. On March 16, 2007 Ampla filed a reply to the challenge. On April 2, 2007, the Court of Arbitration notified the extension of the deadline for concluding the arbitration proceedings by 178 days. The new deadline is September 28, 2007. On May 21, 2007, the experts for the technical and accounting expert

Case/Identification

: 2009655-3

Summary of Proceedings: COFINS — INMUNITY. In the nineties, a large number of the Brazilian public utility companies files resorts against the tax known as COFINS (Contribution for Financing Social Security) because they considered that the Brazilian Constitution exonerated them from that tax. Most of the companies lost the lawsuits. Ampla won the lawsuit (for the period from 1996 to 2001), because the Tax Administration forgot to file an appeal against the decision handed down by the court of appeal. However, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Federal Union brought an exceptional action known as “an action for annulment” to attempt to annul the unappealable judgment favorable to Ampla.

Process status: In December, 2003, the Regional Court of Rio de Janeiro (equivalent to the Court of Appeal) confirmed the inadmissibility of the action for annulment filed by the Federal Union. On December 21, 2007, the Federal Union filed a Special Resort against the decision of the Rio de Janeiro Court rejecting unanimously all of its previous appeals. This Special Resort is addressed to the Higher Court of Law (STJ), the court in Brasilia that rules on unconstitutional issues. On February 29, 2008 Ampla was notified to submit its reasons against the special resort filed by the Federal Union. The special resort was filed without the extraordinary resort and there is judicial practice that indicates that both resorts should be filed together. Therefore, there are arguments to consider that the extraordinary resort of the Federal Union has become null and void. On April 30, 2008 the Regional Federal Court (Court of Rio) decided not to accept the special resort of the Federal Union, whose objective was to take the discussion on the admissibility of the annulment action to the Superior Court (Court of Brasilia). On June 12, 2008 such decision was published. The Federal Union could still file a resort against this decision. The Federal Union filed a resort at the Superior Court on July 11, 2008. Ampla will be notified so that it files its pleadings within a 10 day period. The decision so that Ampla files its pleadings was published on September 11, 2008. Ampla filed its pleadings on September 22, 2008. The judgment of the resort has not been delivered yet.

Amount: R$ 387 millions - US$ 166 millions.

Summary of Proceedings: COFINS — Period after Immunity. In December, 2001, the article of the Federal Constitution on which Ampla had based its discussion of immunity with regard to the COFINS, pursuant to which Ampla did not pay this tax, was amended. There is an article in the constitution that states that legislative changes come into force 90 days after their publication. Based on this article, Ampla started paying the COFINS tax as of April, 2002. However, the SRF argues that this constitutional regulation only applies to changes to regulations involving laws, but not the Constitution itself, whose amendments should come into force immediately. The SRF also claims that, as a result of Ampla’s change

in tax regimen (from earned to accrued), the taxable amount of the COFINS tax increased during the first semester of 2002.

Process status: The action was notified in 2003. The decision of the 1st administrative instance went against Ampla and an appeal with the second administrative instance was filed on October, 2004. The resort was ruled on recently in the 2nd administrative instance, partly favorable to the Treasury in terms of the period when changes to the Constitution come into force and partly favorable to Ampla in terms of the tax on income due to the change in tax regimen from earned to accrue. Taxes in question are estimated to be 35%. Once the amount owed by the SRF is determined, it may be enforced. The part of the Document that was accepted by the Court of Appeal is R$87,040. This will have to be confirmed by the Secretaria SRF. Once the amount due by the SRF is calculated, this agency will be able to start the executory process, when Ampla will discuss the constitutional issue. On April 8, 2008 the Treasury Department filed a resort against this decision at the Court of Appeal. On September 19, 2008 Ampla was called upon to make its plea for the defense against the special resort filed by the Treasury Department. On October 6, 2008 Ampla made its plea for the defense against the aforementioned resort and also filed a resort at the Court of Appeal to try to change the part of the decision that was not favorable to Ampla. The judgment has not been delivered yet.

Amount: R$ 124.1 millions - US$ 53.1 millions.

  Trial 10730.003110/2005-55 (d.38)

Summary of Proceedings: FRNs — In order to finance its investment in Coelce, in 1998 Ampla issued FRNs (bonds) for $350 millions  maturing in 2008, which were subscribed by Cerj Overseas (an overseas subsidiary of Ampla, which former name was Cerj). The bonds have a special tax regimen consisting of no withholding tax (15% or 25%) being applied on payment of interest abroad, always provided that, among other requirements, there is no advanced amortization before the average term of 96  months. In order to acquire these bonds, Cerj Overseas obtained financing outside Brazil consisting of a six-month loan. At the end of the period (October, 1999) because of problems of access to other sources of financing, Cerj Overseas had to refinance with Ampla, which granted it a loan in reales. The Secretary of Federal Tax Collection argues that the tax concession had been lost in 1998, since the loans in reales granted to Cerj Overseas by Ampla were the equivalent of an advanced amortization of the debt before the average amortization period of 96 months. Currently there remain FRNs for $ 169 R$40.2 millions.   (The balance was capitalized in 2004).

Process status: The notice of infringement was notified in July, 2005. In August, 2005, Ampla filed a resort with the 1st administrative instance, and it was rejected. In April, 2006, a resort was filed with the Council of Taxpayers (2nd administrative instance). On December 6, 2007, the Council of Taxpayers issued its verdict completely favorable to Ampla. The period for executing the verdict and publishing the decision is estimated at about 6 months. After the publication of the decision, the SRF will have 30 days to file a resort.

Amount: R$ 557 millions - US$ 239 millions.

Summary of Proceedings: ICMS FINE. In 2002, the State of Rio de Janeiro stipulated via a decree that the ICMS should be calculated and paid on the 10th, 20th and 30th of the same month accrued. Because of cash problems, Ampla continued to pay the ICMS under the former system (payment until the 5th of the month after it accrued).

Process status: Notwithstanding an informal agreement with the State of Rio de Janeiro, and 2 amnesty laws, in October, 2004, the State of Rio de Janeiro brought a proceeding against Ampla to collect the fine for late payments; Ampla appealed against the fine in the same year. In February, 2007, Ampla was notified of the decision of the 1st administrative instance, which confirmed the proceeding brought by the State of Rio de Janeiro. On March 23, 2007, an appeal was lodged with the Council of Taxpayers of the State of Rio de Janeiro (2nd administrative instance). Ampla obtained a preliminary ruling in its favor that enabled it to bring this resort without having to make a deposit of furnish a guarantee for 30% of the value of the updated fine.

Court

: 8th Tax Court of the County of Río de Janeiro

Case/Identification

: 1995.001.065045-7

Summary of proceedings: Lawsuit dated June 14, 1995 in which it is argued that AMPLA infringed the rules of Statutory Decree 2283/86 which stipulated freezing of prices while the Cruzado Plan was in force. This plan corresponds to Porteria 45/86 of the DNAEE which increased the rate for electrical energy for industrial use by 20%. The plaintiff petitions for the charge to be declared illegal and for restitution of the amounts paid incorrectly with interest penalties.

Process status: The objection to the claim filed by Ampla on February 20, 2008 was rejected. Against the decision of harmonization of the expert’s finding issued on November 8, 2007, both parties filed resorts (seizures of statement); however, they were rejected and so new resorts were filed (torts) by Ampla and Electrovidro (file numbers 2008.002.02344 and 2008.002.02723). In regard to resort No.2008.002.02344 filed by the plaintiff, the Court of Rio de Janeiro issued the decision to establish that the calculations of the settlement sentence should include the wrong increase value until the invoices of December 2005, when the expert’s finding was completed, recognizing the “cascade effect”. After that, due to the decision of its resort (tort), the plaintiff required to notify Ampla to pay R$16,178,697.80 in accordance with Article 475-J of CPC (Brazilian Civil Code), in regard to the improper “cascade effect” of the refund of the amounts for wrong payments, which was deferred by the judge. The related decision was published on May 5, 2008. A special resort was filed to change the Court’s Decision. After that, a tort was filed to give leave for the special resort, which was distributed to the superior court and will be assessed by the Judge. Also, Ampla filed precautionary measure No.2008.014.00082. The precautionary measure was deferred by the 3rd Vice-Presidency of the Court of Rio de Janeiro, which determined the interruption of the executory process. After that, the special resort was rejected and the precautionary measure was annulled. Also, we filed a new precautionary measure at the superior court. This measure was abated without considering the merits of the case. A tort was filed. This tort has not been assessed yet. In first instance Electrovidro took up again the execution of the cascade effect in the restated amount of R$18.7 millions , including the 10% fine of Article 475-J of CPC, calculated by the Judge. Therefore, we filed a letter of bank hypothecation, which was accepted with guarantee of the appealable proceeding. The seizure of on line assets required by Electrovidrio was turned down. For this reason, a tort was filed. In this resort of Electrovidro, on October 1, 2008 the Court authorized the blocking of 5% of the billing of Amplia up to 18.7 million reales. Ampla requested the interruption

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

of the measure that authorized the seizure of 5% of the billing. This was approved by the Head Judge. Electrovidro filed a resort whose judgment has not been delivered yet. Also, the Supreme Court has not delivered a judgment of a resort in which Ampla tries to correct a material error of the final judicial decision arguing that this would give occasion for the execution of the cascade effect of Electrovidro. An objection to the serving of the judicial decision was filed in first instance in order to require the interruption of the serving until the final judicial decision on the incident. This was approved by the judge. Electrovidiro did not agree on the above and filed a resort. The judge approved to continue with the serving, that is the 5% seizure of Ampla’s billing. Therefore, Ampla requested to reconsider that decision. The responsible judge informed that he understands that the preliminary measure is also interrupted. We are waiting for the judgment of the objection to serve the judicial decision and the resorts at the Superior Court and Court of Rio de Janeiro.

On July 17, 2008 Ampla and Coelce filed a resort (tort) against the decision on the jurisdiction dispute that provided a precautionary measure. The judge of the 6th Civil Court of Goiás was appointed to process the emergency measures. On September 1, 2008 the decision of the Court was published.

On November 10, 2008 the Superior Court issued a decision, in which it rejected the resorts. As the lack of jurisdiction of the state justice of Goiânia to adjudicate the lawsuit was determined, we are waiting for the distribution of the proceeding to the Federal Court of the Federal District so that it continues with the proceeding.

Case/Identification

: 2000.0161.6981-7.

Summary of proceedings: The Plaintiff is the owner of a plot of land in Aracati/Ceará, where Coelce built several electrification networks, without having compensated the client. Thus, the plaintiff intends to prevent the construction of new electrification networks and have the existing ones removed. Coelce won the lawsuit in the first instance by having it dismissed. However, the sentence was revoked on appeal and Coelce was sentenced to remove the new networks in the process of being installed and pay about $3.3 millions as compensation. As a result of the above, the plaintiff filed for enforcement of the sentence, petitioning a credit based on a compensation of nearly $3.3 millions. In parallel, Coelce has appealed for the sentence by the Court of Appeal, in terms of the compensation granted beyond what was petitioned, to be voided. The plaintiff has already raised a plea against Coelce’s appeal and notification of the pleading was made to the other party for the rejoinder.

Process status: The plaintiffs succeeded in the legal action filed as they obtained a court order to make Coelce remove the posts located in their properties. However, instead of requiring Coelce to comply with the court order, the plaintiffs required a compensation for damages as a result of the setting up of the aforementioned posts, which was in the order of R$9,861,385.07 in accordance with their calculations at December 9, 1997. This request was considered as inadmissible by the judge. This decision was appealed by the plaintiffs. This appeal was rejected in July 2007.

Summary of proceedings: Popular Lawsuit — Lawsuit brought by a State Deputy and Federal Deputy against Coelce, CGTF, ANEEL and the Federal Union on April 23, 2007. They are petitioning for immediate recalculation of Coelce’s rate review ratio for 2007, replacing the thermal energy purchase price with the cheapest available energy; the avoidance of the contract signed by Coelce and CGTF because of its high cost (high cost of steam-electric energy compared to hydroelectric energy, which would de detrimental to the consumers of the State of Ceará); and for the additional income obtained by Coelce from May to October, 2005 to be included in the calculations of Coelce’s rate review. The latter refers to another lawsuit, where Coelce had a provisional precautionary measure limiting its rate adjustment revoked. During that proceeding, a precautionary measure was in force from May to October, 2005 and, despite it, Coelce charged this difference retroactively to the consumers. According to the plaintiffs, Coelce should wait for end of the case to charge these amounts.

Process status: In regard to the main lawsuit, on November 24, 2008 the judge issued a judgment which considered as inadmissible the plaintiff’s claims. On September 1, 2008 CGTF was notified in regard to this decision. We are waiting for the publication of this decision and the resort to personally notify the plaintiffs to file a possible resort.

Summary of proceedings: Fine for Lack of Import Documentation - On July 11, 2007, the Federal Tax Authorities (SRF) issued an “Infringement Proceeding” against CIEN for imports of energy in 2002. According to the Tax inspector formal requirements required by general regulations for tax documentation of imports were not met, so a fine equivalent to 100% of the value of the imports was being imposed. However, there was no approved law whatsoever regulating tax documentation to be prepared when importing electrical energy until May, 2006. Since May, 2006, CIEN has all the documentation required by the law.

Process status: On August 10, 2007, an appeal was filed with the first administrative instance. On September 14, 2007, the Claim was judged inadmissible. On the same date, the decision of the first administrative instance was sent to the second administrative instance (Council of Taxpayers) for a resolution. On December 6, 2007, the SRF published an Interpretative Declaratory Ruling stipulating that no penalty of fine whatsoever was imposed by reason of the non-existence of electrical energy import and export records for operations performed until May 2, 2006, the date on which Regulatory Instructions 649 of April 28, 2006 came into force. This ruling definitively resolves the administrative process dealing with the lack of import records, which has already been won in the first instance, in CIEN’s favor. A copy of the interpretative ruling was submitted to the Council of Taxpayers, asking for the proceeding to be closed. Waiting for the Council of Taxpayers to declare the proceeding closed. On February 27, 2008 the claim was sent to the Third Taxpayers Council. We expect the application of the interpretation favorable to us and that the proceeding is abated.

Summary of proceedings: As a result of the unbundling of CELG, one of whose successors was CDSA, and the privatization of CDSA, the Municipality of Cachoeira Dourada brought two proceedings against the company charging the ITBI (Tax on Conveyance of Real Estate).

Process status: 1. Proceeding regarding the conveyance of real estate. Arguments for the defense: The Federal Constitution and the Labor Code stipulate word for word that the ITBI does not apply to conveyance of real estate in unbundling operations. CDSA’s appeal against this proceeding is still pending a decision by the second administrative instance (The decision was unfavorable to CDSA in the first administrative instance - May, 2003).  2. Proceeding regarding the transfer of shares: Arguments for the defense: The ITBI does not apply to the transfer of movable property (shares), which as recognized by the Court of Goiás (Court of Appeal). In June, 2006, the Municipality filed for enforcement of the amount of this claim against CDSA, despite it having been declared null and void by the Court Goiás. CDSA filed a plea of prior judgment with effect of res judicata, and in June, 2007, the Court of Goias declared the legal enforcement abated since it understood that the writ of execution of the Municipality was not enforceable. On August 21, 2007, the Municipality of Cachoeira Dourada lodged an appeal against this decision. We lodged our rejoinder on October 1, 2008. On November 12, 2008 the proceeding was remitted to the Court. On September 23, 2008 the Court of Goiás delivered a judgment.

Summary of proceedings: ISS (Services Tax)  — The municipality of Cachoeira Dourada has notified CDSA, through a Claim, that the Company owes the Municipality the Services Tax (ISS) on generation of electrical energy produced between 1997 and 2000. The municipality understands that the generation of energy is a service. However, the generation of energy is not on the list of ISS taxable services (Federal legislation) and, therefore, cannot be considered a taxable event under that tax. The Brazilian Federal Constitution expressly prohibits application of any tax on electrical energy operations other than the ICMS (VAT), II (Import Tax) or IE (Export Tax).

Process status: Administrative proceeding: Waiting for the Municipality to make a decision regarding the appeal lodged. If lost, an appeal will be lodged with the second administrative process. Court proceedings: In parallel fashion, on September 12, 2007, a legal action was brought to void such administrative collection and declare it inadmissible. On September 28, 2007, the petition was approved provisionally by the judge and the requirement to pay tax was stayed until the admissibility of the administrative collection was resolved.  On February 13, 2008 the municipality made its plea for the defense and on February 29, 2008 CDSA made its plea for the defense. On July 21, 2008 there was an appealable decision favorable to CDSA. We are waiting for the opinion of the Municipality. On August 1, 2008 the decision was published. In the event of loss we will file a resort in the second administrative instance. The Municipality did not have an opinion (did not file a claim) against the appealable judgment and the period allowed for that expired. However, the judgment will be reviewed by the court of appeal. This review is an obligatory routine judicial procedure required by the Brazilian procedural law, when there is a judgment against the Treasury and the amount of the litigation is over 60 minimum wages.

Summary of proceedings: Generator Set — Endesa Fortaleza filed a lawsuit against the Federal Union towards the end of 2002, with a view to it recognizing that the goods imported for the turbo-generator sets are “Other Generator Sets”, so as to be able claim the 0% Import Tax (II) and Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI). The Federal Union argues that the imported goods are not generator sets. CGTF won an accessory resolution in its favor allowing it to clear the goods through customs at a 0% rate, subject to R$56 million (US$29 million) — updated at June, 2007 with the court. In order to prevent the taxes from becoming null and void, the Federal Tax Authorities brought an action requiring the suspension of the tax until the proceedings pending against the Federal Union are resolved.

Process status: The lawsuit against the Federal Union is pending resolution in the lower court. In parallel fashion, the Action brought by the Federal Tax Authorities (whose enforcement is suspended until the lawsuit against the Federal Union is resolved) was declared null and void in the first administrative instance because it did not comply with the requirements of form. The Tax Authorities may well bring another action correcting the errors.  On February 21, 2008 the Treasury expressed its opinion in regard to the resort filed by Endesa Fortaleza and the expert’s report prepared in 2005. On April 17, 2008 CGTF made its representations about the technical report filed by the Treasury. On May 12, 2008 the proceeding was remitted to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Treasury and it was returned with no representations or opinion of the Treasury. On September 19, 2008 the appealable judgment was delivered and it was favorable to Endesa Fortaleza. The aforementioned decision recognized the classification of the power generator in accordance with Endesa Fortaleza’s claim and determined that the judicial deposit should continue as guarantee of the proceeding until the final judicial decision. We are waiting for the filing of the resort by the Federal Treasury at the Regional Federal Court (RFC), which is the second judicial instance, against the appealable judgment favorable to Endesa Fortaleza. The period allowed for the Federal Treasury to file the aforementioned resort is 30 days starting from the publication of the appealable judgement. On September 29, 2008 the aforementioned judgment was issued. On November 10, 2008 the Treasury was notified about the appealable judgment favorable to Endesa Fortaleza. Therefore, the 30 calendar day period starts from that date (the period expires on December 10, 2008) so that the Treasury files the resort at the Regional Federal Court. We are waiting that it is informed whether the Treasury filed the resort at the Regional Federal Court within the period.

Summary of proceedings: CTM initiated a statement of certainty action against the Province of Corrientes, for the Supreme Court to declare that the activity carried out by the company in the province is under federal jurisdiction and therefore exempt from the Gross Income Tax that the Province of Corrientes currently demands. It also requested an injunction, to order the General Revenue Department of the Province of Corrientes to abstain from demanding CTM the payment of the mentioned tax.

Process status: The Supreme Court (the “Court”) on August 21, 2003, resolved

(i)

 

That it was competent to see the cause;

(ii)

 

Notify the Province of Corrientes of proceedings;

(iii)

 

Issue the injunction requested by CTM (to not innovate) in relation to the payment of the gross business income tax included in the Fiscal Code of the Province of Corrientes with regard to the activity carried our by CTM, in the following terms: “Decree the injunction requested, and consequently, orders the Province of Corrientes to abstain from pursuing the fiscal execution of the gross business income tax regarding the contract signed on June 14, 2000 between the National State and CTM for the construction, operation and maintenance of the second circuit for electric energy transport of the Nodo Rincón de Santa María-Nodo Frontera Garabí section (Province of Corrientes). The Province of Corrientes was notified of the demand and answered stating that there was no current and concrete requirement for the payment of the gross business income tax.

Likewise, it stated that according to express dispositions of the Provincial Fiscal Code, it corresponded that CTM pay the Gross Business Income Tax and the inapplicability Federal Pact for Employment, Production and Growth by which some provinces, including Corrientes, had committed to eliminate the Gross Business Income Tax. CTM rebutted each of the arguments invoked by the province in its presentation. Later, the Province of Corrientes requested the lifting of the injunction, presentation that was opportunely answered by CTM. On April 5, 2005, the Court rejected the request for the lifting of the injunction. On September 9, 2005, CTM requested the cause be opened to evidence and the CSJN set the conciliation audience for November 9, 2005. In the mentioned audience, the parties manifested that it was not possible to achieve conciliation. As a result, the case was opened to evidence. On March 13, 2006 the Court certified that the term for evidence was expired without any evidence pending and it instructed the parties to present their arguments regarding the evidence presented. Ctm argued on the evidence produced. The proceedings passed to the Attorneys Office on September 8, 2006. At December 27, 2006, the proceedings had not returned from the Attorneys Office.  The case records returned from the Public Prosecutor’s Office on April 30, 2004 with a negative verdict on the

Summary of proceedings:  Edegel Re-assessment (2000) — On September 10, 2004, the Tax Court notified a favorable resolution for Edegel confirming (i) Edegel’s right to depreciate the negative goodwill from the re-assessment because it had a legal stability agreement in force and also (ii) the non-application of Regulation VIII of the Tax Code to the unbundling (there is no fraud or simulation). However, the resolution stipulated that SUNAT has to check that the re-assessment of assets done by Edegel was not at a higher value than the market value. Since then, Edegel has been receiving a series of resolutions from SUNAT aimed at determining the excess of the re-assessment and the tax to be paid.

Process status: The claims against the resolutions (in the part that was considered to have rights) have been solved and on September 17, 2008 the first administrative instance resolution of Sunat was notified. The resolution was partly favorable to Edegel. On October 9, 2008 an appeal was filed at the court against the part of the resolution that did not accept our claim and that has not been accepted by the company. In regard to year 1999, an oral and written report of the pleadings was filed. We are waiting for the resolution by the court. In regard to years 2000 and 2001, on December 16, 2008 an answer was filed attaching the information requested by Sunat so that the appeal is accepted to be processed.

Endesa Costanera S.A.

 

In July 1990, the Italian Government authorized Medio Credito Centrale to grant a loan to the Argentine Government to finance purchases of goods and services of Italian origin, to renew four groups of the thermo-electric plant owned by

 

F-127



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires (“SEGBA”).  SEGBA granted to Endesa Costanera a mandate to administer the carrying out the corresponding works covered by a contract between SEGBA and a consortium led by Ansaldo S.p.A., Italy.

 

In accordance with Law No. 25.561, Decree No. 214/02 and their related regulations, the obligation to pay by Endesa Costanera contained in the contract were “pesified” at the rate of one peso to one dollar, plus a special stabilization coefficient (“CER”), with the original interest rate stated for the obligation.

 

On January 10, 2003, the Executive National Power dictated Decree No.53/03 that modified Decree No.410/02 by including exceptions to the “pesification” of the obligation to pay sums of money in foreign currency of provinces, municipalities, public and private sector companies to the state government arising from subsidiary or other loans and guarantees, originally financed by multilateral credit organisms or originated in liabilities assumed by the National Treasury and refinanced with foreign creditors.

 

Endesa Costanera considers that the loan resulting from the contract does not meet any of the assumptions foreseen in Decree No.53/03, plus there are solid arguments for determining the unconstitutionality of that decree as it violates principles of equity and property rights established in the National Constitution.  The maximum contingency that would be produced by complying with the assumption mentioned would, as of December 31, 2008, imply a patrimonial reduction, net of tax effects, of approximately US$19 millions. To date, the Secretary of Energy has presented no complaint against the “pesified” payments made by Endesa Costanera.

 

Restrictions

 

Enersis S.A. and some of its subsidiaries have the following restrictions:

 

Enersis S.A.

 

The Company must comply with financial covenants and requirements derived from loan agreements with financial institutions.  Some of the more restrictive covenants are summarized as follows:

·                  Ratio of consolidated debt to equity plus minority interest does not exceed 100%;

·                  At least 50% of the consolidated assets of Enersis should be regulated assets, i.e. companies whose business is the generation, transmission and trade of electric energy;

·                  Minimum shareholders’ equity plus minority interest of at least equal to UF27 million.

 

The covenants dealing with Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, as defined were eliminated by the amendments signed in October 2008

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 all these obligations have been met.

Endesa Chile

 

Endesa Chile must comply with financial covenants and requirements derived from loan agreements with financial institutions, among which are the following:

 

·                  The ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for four conssecutive fiscal quarters does not exceed 4.20.

·                  Ratio of consolidated debt to equity plus minority interest to be not greater than105%.

The covenants dealing with Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, as defined, were eliminated by amendments signed in October 2008.

 

At December 31, 2008 all of these obligations and restrictions have been met

 

As is customary in credit agreements and capital market transactions, a substantial portion of Enersis’ indebtedness is subject to cross-default provisions.  If a material default is not cured by applicable grace periods, it could result in a cross-default for Enersis and a significant part of Enersis’ liabilities could become due and payable subject to certain additional condictions.

 

Under the bank facilities entered into between 2004 and 2006, if Enersis or any of its Relevant Subsidiaries, as defined in such facilities, fails in the payment for an amount in excess of US$50 million in any indebtedness with an outstanding principal amount over US$50 million, or if any indebtedness of Enersis or any of its Relevant Subsidiaries is declared due and payable, lenders representing more than half of the amount outstanding would have the right to declare the loan due and payable.

 

Similarly, under the Indenture that governs Enersis’ Yankee Bonds, if Enersis or any of its Subsidiaries, fails in a payment of any indebtedness with an outstanding principal amount over US$30 million, the Trustee or bondholders representing at least 25% of any given series would have the right to declare the bonds due and payable.

 

Endesa Costanera S.A.

 

The most significant requirements in respect to financial covenants are those contained in the loan, as amended at September 30, 2005, with CSFBi, 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 subordination of the debt associated with certain financial indicators.

 

At December 31, 2008 all of these obligations have been met.

 

El Chocón S.A.

 

The loan dated of September 15, 2006 requires the Company to comply with the following financial covenants: ratio of Ebitda to financial expenses not lower than 3.5, debt to Ebitda not greater than 3.0; net shareholders’ equity not lower than 690 million Argentine pesos.

 

As of December 31, 2008 these obligations have been met.

The loan known as the Facility Operation Contract, assumed as a result of the merger with Etevensa, has the following indicators: interest hedge greater than 1.25; shareholders’ equity long-term debt ratio greater than 0.67 and debt to Ebitda of less than 4.0.

 

Bank loans include a debt to Ebitda of less than 4.0; interest hedge of more than 3.25 and level of indebtedness of less than 1.50.

 

There are no clauses in the credit agreements through which changes in these companies corporate or debt rating may cause an obligation to prepay the debt. However, a change in Standard & Poor (S&P) risk classification for debt denominated in foreign currencywould produce a change in the applicable margin of syndicated credits subscribed in 2004 and 2006.

 

At December 31, 2008, all of these obligations and restrictions have been fully met.

As a result of the entry into force of the new rate decree, and given the fact that such effects was established prospectively as of the decree enactment date, as the net tax provisions in Chilectra S.A. for ThCh$54,494 have been reversed.

 

Management is not aware of other significant events have occurred after year end that could materially affect the presentation of the financial statements.

 

Note 36.    Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

 

In accordance with the instructions of Circular No.427, issued by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS) on December 28, 2007 regarding the adoption of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and supplementing the instructions issued through Circular No.384 dated February 6, 2007, starting from 2009 Enersis S.A. should prepare its financial statements in accordance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The preliminary effects of this change on the Company’s financial statements have been measured and informed to the SVS in accordance with the instructions of Circular No.457 dated June 20, 2008.

 

Note 37.    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, 2008, was approximately 18.4%. 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

 

F-139



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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 (ee) 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 (ee) 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 grouping of assets at the lowest level which generates cash flow. 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.

 

(d)   Special obligations

 

At the end of 2006, the Brazilian National Electric Power Agency (“Agencia Nacional de Energia Eléctrica” —ANEEL) published the Normative Resolution N°234 that established general concepts, methodologies and procedures to carry out the second round of the periodic Tariff review for public concessionaires engaged in the electric distribution sector services. These modifications were incorporated into the regulation issued by ANEEL during the year 2007, which contain the provisional parameters of the fix Tariff model for the following years. According to this, for US GAAP purposes a regulatory liability has been recognized and a charge to current year earnings for ThCh$140,336,629, in accordance to the provisions of FAS No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types Regulation”.

 

Under Chilean GAAP, regulatory accounting described in FAS No 71, does not apply and therefore the adjustment above mentioned has not been recorded.

 

(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,

 

F-140



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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 and its related amendments issued by 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 and 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.

 

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 provision for unrecorded deferred taxes 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 (see note 37 II (c)). 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 (ee) below.

 

(f)    PIS-COFIN

 

Brazilian Tax Dispute — PIS and COFINS

 

In 1998, Brazilian Law 9718/98 was enacted, which increased the base for both PIS (Contribuição aos Programas de Integração Social — Contributions to Social Integration Programs) and COFINS (Contribuição para Financiamento da Seguridade Social — Contributions to the Financing of Social Security), which are social contributions taxation on revenues, beginning in 1999 to be levied on other revenue lines and not only sales, while at the same time, increasing the rate for COFINS from 2% to 3%.

 

The Company’s subsidiary in Brazil, Ampla, has decided not to pay such PIS and COFINS taxes under Law 9718/98 and has filed a tax lawsuit dispute challenging that the payment of PIS and COFINS on other revenues was unconstitutional.  During 2007, such subsidiary received a favorable verdict from local courts, agreeing with the Company and ruling in favor of it on the grounds of the unconstitutionality of Law 9718/98. Such ruling, however, could be appealed by the Brazilian Government and would only achieve a final resolution upon the final decision of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court.   In this respect, several other companies have filed similar lawsuits on the same basis and have obtained a favorable ruling on the matter from the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court.  Such cases have set a

 

F-141



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

base jurisprudence ground that makes virtually certain that the final verdict will be in favor of the Company and, therefore, reducing to a remote, if any, the probability of the Company to make any payment in relation to this tax dispute.

 

Under Chilean GAAP, after the favorable verdict by a local court of the Company’s dispute and considering the base jurisprudence, the Company considered that it is not probable that it will have to pay any amount in relation to PIS and COFINS taxes as a result of Law 9718/98. As such, we have reversed the provision in 2007.

 

Under US GAAP, the probability of payment is irrelevant if settlement of the liability is required by current law or by contract.  When the obligating event or transaction has occurred (in this instance, through sales or other revenues), the probability of payment is not relevant in determining whether a contractual or legal obligation is a liability or a loss contingency.  That is, when the obligating event or transaction has occurred, the enterprise has incurred a liability; and accordingly, there is no contingency. Therefore, until the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court announces a favorable and final ruling the amount should stay provisioned by not recording the reversal made under Chilean GAAP.

 

The effect of this difference on the net income and shareholder´s equity of the Company is included in paragraph (ee) below.

 

(g)   Pension and post-retirement benefits

 

During 2006, the Company adopted FAS 158 “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements N°87, 88, 106 and 132 (R)”. These statements required the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. It also requires the recognition as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, of the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period, but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to statements 87 or 106. The adoption resulted in the recognition through AOCI for accumulated effect through the 2006 year - end of prior service costs and related plan assets in the balance sheet of the certain Brazilian subsidiaries. The effects of the adoption of SFAS 158 are presented in paragraph (ee) below.

 

The effects of accounting for post-retirement benefits under US GAAP have been presented in paragraph (ee).

 

(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 assumed 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.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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 (ee) 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 that occurred until December 31, 2003 assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying value and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value is 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 US 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. Prior to January 1, 2002 under US GAAP, the Company amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 20 to 40 years.

 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142 and thus ceased amortizing goodwill under US GAAP. Instead, impairment tests are preformed at least annually on the level of reporting units.

 

Technical Bulletin No. 72 issued by Chilean Association of Accountants requires using fair value of acquired assets and liabilities assumed for the accounting for all acquisitions after January 1, 2004, and consequently after that date difference in accounting treatment related to the recognition of 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 on the level of cash-generating units. 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, 2007 and 2008, apart from the impairment of goodwill over the Company’s equity method investee Gas Atacama Holding.  See Note 11(j).

 

Under US GAAP, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually on the level of reporting units, which the Company defined to be as operation units. In addition, goodwill is evaluated for impairment between these annual tests if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The impairment test is performed based on a two-step approach:

 

1.     The first step is to compare each reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount including goodwill. If a reporting units carrying amount (including goodwill) exceeds its fair value, goodwill might be impaired and the second step is required

2.     The second step is to compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value is computed by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner that is similar to a purchase price allocation in a business combination accounted for in accordance with SFAS 141. The difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its net assets is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is written-down against income to the implied fair value of goodwill.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

The Company carried out the required annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year.

 

The following effects are included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (ee) below:

 

(i)            differences in the amount of goodwill 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, 2003, 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 years. Technical Bulletin No. 72 issued by Chilean Association of Accountants requires using fair value accounting for all acquired assets and liabilities assumed for all acquisitions after January 1, 2004. Technical Bulletin No. 72 states that whenever the negative goodwill exceeds the fair value of identified non-monetary assets, the excess must be recognized immediately as income.

 

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 (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 (ee) below.

 

Adjustments related to negative goodwill necessary to make the consolidated financial statements conform to US GAAP are included in paragraph (ee) below and are as follows:

 

·      The reversal of negative goodwill amortization and write-offs described in paragraph (i) above, which did not meet the US GAAP impairment criteria for long-lived assets under SFAS 144 and the reversal of negative goodwill amortization recorded under Chilean GAAP;

·      The effects of reducing depreciation expense, due to the proportionate allocation of the excess purchase price to property, plant and equipment and other effects on income.

 

(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 must 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 (ee) below.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

(l)    Accumulated deficit during the development stage

 

Prior to the adoption of Circular 1819 issued by the SVS on January 1, 2007, under Chilean GAAP, the net income (loss) incurred during the development stage of subsidiary companies are recorded directly in the parent company’s equity, rather than in income. Furthermore, companies in the development stage were not consolidated even if the Company owned the majority of voting rights.

 

Under US GAAP, such results must be included in the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2005 no company was classified as development stage company. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, the effects of the adjustment are included in paragraph (ee) below.

 

On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted Circular 1819 issued by the SVS (see note 3), requiring consolidation of subsidiaries in development stage and recording income derived from development stage companies in accordance with accounting principles for consolidation or investments in related companies, respectively. Thus, subsequent to the adoption of Circular 1819, the accounting treatment under Chilean GAAP is the same as under US GAAP

 

(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 or interim dividends have been paid to shareholders. 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 has been made in the reconciliation in paragraph (ee) below to reflect the unrecorded dividend liability for 2007 and 2008, whenever and to the extent the recorded interim dividends do not reach the 30% minimum dividend.

 

(n)   Capitalized general and administrative expenses

 

Under Chilean GAAP, Endesa Chile and certain Brazilian subsidiaries capitalize 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 under US GAAP would not be allowed. 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 (ee).

 

(o)   Involuntary employee termination benefits

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the Argentine subsidiaries, Endesa Argentina S.A., recorded an accrual of certain involuntary employees termination benefits related to the restructuring plan announced in 1997. Additionally, during 2003 the Company increased the amount of the accrual recorded under Chilean GAAP.  In accordance with US GAAP, in order to recognize a liability at the balance sheet date for the cost to terminate employees involuntarily, the following conditions have to be met:

 

·      Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan of termination

·      The plan identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their job classifications or functions and their locations, and the expected completion date

·      The plan establishes the terms of the benefit arrangement, including the benefits that employees will receive upon termination (including but not limited to cash payments), in sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive if they are involuntarily terminated, and

·      Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

As of December 31, 2006 and 2007 this requirement had not been met. As of December 31, 2008 the accrued liability was extinguished.

 

The effect of eliminating the accrued liability recognized is presented in paragraph (ee) 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). At December 31, 2005 the Company believed were 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 has been met. Accordingly, the effects of the rate increase were included in 2005 revenues under Chilean GAAP. During 2006 there have been no ratification regarding the increase in tariffs; hence, the initial probable belief of the Company was reassessed and is not longer considered. Therefore, under Chilean GAAP the effects of the rates tariffs recognized as of December 31, 2005 has been adjusted and recognized in 2006. 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 net income for the years presented is included in (ee) below. Additionally, due to the adjustment recognized in 2006, there are no differences between Chilean and US GAAP in shareholders’ equity in the presented years.

 

(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 (ee) below.

 

(r)   Organizational and start-up costs

 

Certain costs related to the organization and creation of certain subsidiaries of the Company are deferred, capitalized and amortized under Chilean GAAP.

 

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 (ee) 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, Peru, 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.

·      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.

 

F-146



Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

·      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 amounts of foreign exchange gain (losses) included in income that is attributable to operations in unstable countries because these amounts have been remeasured into US dollars were, before minority interest,  ThCh$(41,476,552), ThCh$(166,191,917) and ThCh$195,917,262 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively (See Note 23).

 

Under US GAAP, the functional currency is determined based on criteria provided by SFAS 52, resulting in the functional currency of an entity being the currency of the primary economic environment of operations of the entity. Differences resulting from fluctuation of exchange rates between foreign currencies and functional currency are recorded in income, whereas translation differences from converting the financial statements from functional currency to the group’s presentation currency are recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

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. Inclusion of inflation and translation effects in the financial statements is considered appropriate under the inflationary conditions that have historically affected the Chilean economy, and accordingly, are not eliminated in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP as permitted by SEC Staff.

 

(t)    Derivative instruments

 

The Company engages in derivative activity for hedging purposes. 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, however under Chilean GAAP the changes in the fair value for cash flow hedges is recorded against other assets (losses no realized) or other liabilities (gain no realized) in the balance sheet. The documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements under Chilean GAAP though are not as burdensome as under SFAS 133.

 

Under US GAAP, if the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized directly in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffectiveness, if any, is reflected directly in earnings. Finally, the gain or loss on a hedging derivative instrument that is designated as, and is effective as, an economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation shall be reported in the same manner as a translation adjustment to the extent it is effective as a hedge. The ineffective portion of net investment hedges shall be reported in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, or if it does not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded directly in earnings.

 

Until December 31, 2004 the Company applied hedge accounting only to some derivative instruments under US GAAP. All those derivative instruments where hedge accounting did not apply have been accounted at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings. However, hedge accounting was applied under Chilean GAAP to other derivative instruments in addition to those applied under US GAAP in those periods. Starting  as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company applied hedge accounting under both Chilean and US GAAPs to a portfolio of derivative instruments executed in those years.

 

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 52 and SFAS 133.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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, 2006, 2007 and 2008 are included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (ee) below.

 

(u)   Fair value of long-term debt assumed

 

As part of the purchase of the majority ownership interest in Endesa Chile, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of long-term debt. As discussed in paragraph (i), up until December 31, 2003, under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value was 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.

 

The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is included in paragraph (ee) below.

 

(v)    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 (ee) below.

 

(w)   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 approximately over a period of five 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.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

The regulations also included certain fixes costs or 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.

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company recognized revenue and deferred costs related to those 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 (ee) below.

 

(x)   Reorganization of subsidiaries

 

This adjustment corresponds to the following reorganizations of the Company’s subsidiaries:

 

·      Endesa Costanera S.A. and Central Buenos Aires (CBA) during 2001, in which Endesa Costanera acquired the minority interest in CBA from third parties and exchanged shares with Endesa Argentina S.A.

·      During 2006, the Company’s subsidiary Edegel was merged with Etevensa, an entity which was controlled by Endesa Internacional S.A., the Company’s parent company. This reorganization included a purchase of a minority interest portion in exchange for shares of Edegel and cash.

·      On April 1, 2006 the Company’s subsidiaries Chilectra S.A. was merged with Elesur S.A. (currently Chilectra S.A.) which is 99.09% owned by Enersis S.A. This reorganization included a purchase of a minority interest portion by cash.

·      During 2007, the Company’s subsidiaries Betania and Emgesa were merged into a new entity Emgesa (merged entity). (See note 11 (f) iii). The merger was materialized through a stock exchange where the Company exchanged the shares it owned in Betania and Emgesa for shares issued by the new entity Emgesa (merged entity). In addition, as a result of the share-exchange, the Company purchased a portion of minority interest from a third party.

 

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company recorded these transactions under the pooling of interests method, using the book values of the net assets acquired under merger accounting as prescribed by Technical Bulletin 72 for reorganizations under common control.

 

Under US GAAP, to the extent minority interest was acquired from a related party, the transaction shall be accounted for as a transaction under common control, using the pooling-of-interest method and thus book values to reflect the increase in participation, with any difference between purchase price consideration and book value of net assets acquired being recorded in shareholders’ equity. However, the purchase of minority interest to the extent that this minority interest was purchased from an unrelated party shall be accounted for under the purchase method pursuant to SFAS 141, measuring the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair values.

 

The effect of this difference on the net income and shareholder´s equity of the Company is included in paragraph (ee) below.

 

(y)   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 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

The effect of this adjustment is included in net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (ee) below.

 

(z)   Amortization of bond discount and deferred debt issuance costs

 

Under Chilean GAAP the company amortized bond discounts and deferred debt issuance costs using the straight line method over the estimate maturity of the related debt. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred debt issuance costs and bond discounts have to be amortized using the effective interest method. The effect of this adjustment included in the net income and shareholders equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (ee) below.

 

(aa) 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. For new liabilities, as well as for increases in fair value due to changes in estimates that are treated like new liabilities, the interest rate used for subsequent valuations is the interest rate that was valid at the time the new liability was incurred or when the change in estimate occurred. 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 obligation 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. As of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the adjustment to US GAAP income from 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 six 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 (ee) below.

 

(bb) 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 53.57% direct and indirect interest therein. The Company began accounting for Endesa Brasil as a consolidated subsidiary as of that date. The difference between net assets contributed and received generated a difference if ThCh$7,400,218 presented as reserve in equity. Although the transaction received the same accounting treatment under both Chilean GAAP and US GAAP, as a result of the existing adjustment to US GAAP in the subsidiaries which were the subject of the reorganization, an incremental charge to equity of ThCh$1,546,441 was recorded.

 

The effect of this adjustment is included in the net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (ee) below.

(cc) Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” 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.  This standard requires 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, when compared to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows.  Impairment is recorded based on estimates of future discounted cash flows, as compared to carrying amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008 no additional amounts were recorded for impairment under US GAAP.

 

(dd) Exchange of non-financial assets and acquisition of minority interest

 

As stated in Note 11 (f) iii, during 2007, the Company’s subsidiaries in Colombia were subject to a reorganization which involved the purchase of a minority interest portion. Under Chilean GAAP, the transaction was accounted for as a transaction under common control using book valued of the involved assets and liabilities, with any differences between net assets given up and net assets received being recorded in other reserves within shareholders’ equity. Under US GAAP, the several steps to materialize the transaction were accounted for as follows:

 

a.      The exchange of the participation in Betania against participation of Emgesa (merged entity) was accounted for as an exchange of financial assets, realizing a loss to the extent the transaction did not represent a common control transaction

b.      To the extent that minority interest was purchased from third parties, the transaction was accounted for under the purchase method pursuant to SFAS 141, with any excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired being accounted for as goodwill.

c.      To the extent third parties were involved, the disposal of a portion of participation of Emgesa (merged entity) was accounted for as a partial disposal of investments, affecting net income of the period to the extent the fair value of consideration received exceeded the book value of the investment together with the pro-rata portion of goodwill, fair value increment to net assets and accumulated other comprehensive income previously accounted for.

 

To the extent the transaction was carried out among parties under common control, book values were used and differences between consideration given (step a. and b.) and consideration received (step c.) over the book value of net assets received (step a. and b.) and book value of net assets given up (step c.) being recorded in other reserves of shareholders’ equity.

(a)

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, management did not expect that the subsidiaries in Colombia will be able to recover deferred tax assets related to tax loss carry forwards. Thus, as of December 31, 2006, a valuation allowance has been recorded, which covered the whole amount of the deferred tax asset related to tax loss carryforwards. However, due to the merger of the Company’s Colombian Subsidiaries, the tax loss carryforwards were applied against income during the year ended December 31, 2007.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

Additionally, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48: “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109: “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). The Interpretation prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken within an income tax return. For each tax position, the enterprise must determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized within the financial statements. No benefits may be recognized for tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold. For tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold, the benefit to be recognized is the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

As a result of implementing FIN 48, there was no impact on the Company’s financial statements from the adoption of this interpretation. In addition, as of the date of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company and its subsidiaries will recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other operating expense, respectively.

 

We are potentially subject to income tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in Chile and internationally until the applicable statute of limitations expire. Tax audits by their nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. The following is a summary of tax years, potentially subject to examination, in the significant tax and business jurisdictions in which we operate.

(1)          Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment.

 

(e)              Concentration of risk:

 

The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any unusual credit risk from any single customer. The Company’s debtors are dependent on the economy in Latin America, which could make them vulnerable to downturns in the economic activity in the countries in which the Company operates.

 

No single customers accounted for more than 10% of revenues for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

(i)                Fair value measurements and the fair value option.

 

a)                          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, 2007 and 2008 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 is equal to its carrying value due to its relatively short-term nature.

 

Marketable securities

 

The fair value of marketable securities that the Company classifies as available for sale, is based on quoted market prices of the mutual money market funds held and is equal to its carrying value.

Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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.

 

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.

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments compared to Chilean GAAP carrying amounts are as follows:

b) Fair Value Measurements

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial instruments at fair value.

 

Derivatives

 

The derivatives portfolio is entirely over-the-counter (OTC), your measurement is estimated using industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. Also, these estimates consider assumptions for the Company’s own credit risk and the corresponding party’s credit risk. Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily include certain over-the-counter, collar, cross currency swap, and swap contracts.

 

The Embedded derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 and Level 3 represent to derivative contracts corresponded to foreign currency.

 

Debt and bond payable

 

Only the debt and bond payable designated as a hedged item in a fair value hedge are measurement to fair value. The measurement this hedged items are the following:

 

When available, we use observable market data, including pricing on recent closed market transactions, to value this debt and bond payable which are included in Level 2. When this data is unobservable, we use valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for inherent credit risk and such loans are included in Level 3. When appropriate, loans are valued using collateral values as a practical expedient.

c) Fair Value Option

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which provides entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

(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 has policies and procedures in place to manage the risks associated with these market fluctuations 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, Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, the Company applied BT 64, consistent with the methodology described in Note 37 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 in 2006 could be seen as contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS No. 133 and are 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.

 

F-166

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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. Such assessment is in line to US GAAP Derivates Implementation Group (“DIG”) response to Issuse A6 (“DIG Issue A6”)  Additionally, note that there were no such similar commodity contracts in 2007.

 

The Company has commodity contracts that are unique, due to their long-term nature and complexity. In establishing the fair value of contracts management makes assumptions using available market data and pricing models. Factors such as commodity price risk are also included in the fair value calculation. 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 are less precise, the further out in time these estimates are made. As a result, fair values are highly sensitive to the assumptions being used.

 

Until December 31, 2005 the Company’s Argentine generation entities had access to the Brazilian energy market through an interconnection system between those two countries. Due to action taken by Argentine Regulation Authorities, the exportations of energy from Argentina to Brazil were limited, resulting in a default of most energy supply contracts the Company had entered into. However, during 2006 the Brazilian regulator issued a statement that allowed these interconnection contracts to reduce their amounts of power and energy to be delivered, and to accelerate their maturity date to December 2007. As a result of action taken by Argentine and Brazilian regulation authorities, the contracts the Argentine subsidiaries had entered into ceased to exist as of the December 31, 2006.

 

Derivative instruments

 

The use of derivative instruments is one of the Company’s tools to mitigate these risks.  Hedging strategies applicable according to the terms established by our Board of Directors are as follows:

 

(a)                      Exchange rate risk hedging policy

 

The exchange rate risk hedging policy for the Enersis Group is based on cash flow.  Its objective is to balance foreign currency indexed flows and the assets and liability structure in such currency.  In order to mitigate the exchange rate risk, the company has entered into financial derivative contracts, such as cross currency swaps (“CCS”) and currency forwards, which have reduced the impact of fluctuations of the exchange rate applicable to assets and liabilities subject to foreign currency volatility.

 

(b)                     Interest rate risk hedging policy

 

The interest rate risk hedging policy for the Enersis Group is based on maintaining a significant level of debt not subject to interest rate variations.  We have set the desired level of fixed interest rate debt (which includes both variable rate instruments that have been swapped to fixed rate, as well as variable rate instruments with a hedging option which limits the interest variability around a desired minimum and maximum band) at approximately 70% of total debt.  When the level of variable debt increases significantly above a 30% threshold, the Company uses derivative instruments, typically interest rate swaps and interest rate collars, as a tool to remain close to the desired level of maximum unhedged variable debt.

 

As a result of the foregoing hedging policies, the Company uses cash flow hedges primarily.  The exchange and interest rate hedging policies convert variable cash flows into fixed cash flows.  As of December 31, 2008, the maximum amount of time over which future cash flows are hedged is 8 years approximately, which corresponds to a CCS with a notional value of ThCh$381,870,000 and a negative fair value of approximately ThCh$91,150,768.

In order to allow hedge accounting classification under SFAS 133, it was necessary to fulfill strict documentation and effectiveness requirements.  Hedge accounting cannot be applied to derivatives that do not satisfy documentation requirements, and accordingly, such operations are registered according to the general treatment of derivatives (“investment contracts”).  As a result, fair value adjustments to investment contracts have a direct effect on the income statement. This is a significant difference when compared to Chilean GAAP, which is more flexible in its documentation requirements.

 

The Company performs tests on a quarterly basis in order to measure the effectiveness level of its accounting hedge, which may be either a cash flow or fair value hedge.  Test results for 2006, 2007 and 2008 revealed that the ineffective portion of our hedging contracts were immaterial.

 

Net Investment Hedges

 

Company has designated certain non-derivative instruments as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Accounting classification for such operations is the same under Chilean GAAP and under US GAAP (see Note 22 (e). The changes in the cumulative translation adjustment are shown net of foreign currency gains or losses of debt designated as hedges for foreign net investments. Gains (Loss) related to debt designated as hedges of Ch$(4.4) billion, Ch$108.3 billion and Ch$133.7 billion were included in the cumulative translation adjustment for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

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 debts incurred by the Company related to net investments in foreign countries serve as a net investment hedge, as they are incurred in the same currency as the functional currency of those foreign investments. As they qualify as a net investment hedge, their gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders’ equity (see Note ll (c) and Note 22 (e) for further detail).

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 party 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.

 

(k)            Presentation to U.S. GAAP

 

Certain reclassifications and adjustment would be made to the Chilean GAAP income statement in order to present the amounts in accordance with 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 disposals of fixed assets

·                  Taxes, other than income taxes

·                  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 GAAP would be presented after income taxes and minority interest under U.S. GAAP.

Certain reclassifications and adjustments would be made to the Chilean GAAP balance sheet in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with 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. Until December 31, 2006, investments in subsidiaries in the development stage would be consolidated under US GAAP, as opposed to being presented as equity method investees, under Chilean GAAP (see also Note 3).

(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 6.5% for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, 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.

 

F-171

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

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 (ee), 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.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company reports a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners (“comprehensive income”). Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other non-owner equity transactions that result in changes in net shareholders’ equity.

 

The following represents accumulated other comprehensive income balances as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 (in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2007).

The Company does not recognize deferred tax assets associated with cumulative translation reclassification as the investment they are associated with is permanent in nature.

 

(n)   Goodwill and intangible assets

 

As discussed in Note 37 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, SFAS 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 in 2002 of SFAS No. 142, due to changes in circumstances, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of ThCh$761,320,894, to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.

Table of Contents

 

ENERSIS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

In calculating the impairment charge, the fair values of the impaired reporting units’ goodwill underlying the segments were estimated using discounted cash flow methodology. The ThCh$761,320,894goodwill 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, 2007 and 2008, by country of operation and segment is as follows:

To perform goodwill impairment tests, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on a valuation model which draws on medium-term planning data that the Company uses for internal reporting and planning purposes. The model uses the discounted cash flow approach and market comparables. The fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, except for the impairment recorded in 2007 over its equity method investee Gas Atacama Holding (See Note 11 (j)).

The Company’s intangible assets were ThCh$103,810,481 and ThCh$132,028,655 and related accumulated amortization were ThCh$65,244,146  and ThCh$87,690,142  as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, 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.

 

The estimated amortization expense for the intangible assets with definite lives, which now 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:

(r)              Recent accounting pronouncements

 

FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), ‘Business combinations’ (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides additional guidance on improving the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.

 

FASB Statement No. 160, ‘Non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51’ (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling

interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.

 

FASB Staff Position FAS 141(R)-1, ‘Accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies’ (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”). FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141R to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Under the new guidance, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies should be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be determined, companies should typically account for the acquired contingencies using existing guidance. This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.

 

FASB Staff Position FAS 152-2 and FAS 124-2, ‘Recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments’ (“FSP FAS 152-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 152-2 and FAS 124-2 clarifies that in periods in which an entity determines that a security’s decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis as other than temporary, the entity shall present the total other-than-temporary impairment in the income statement with an offset for the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in other comprehensive income, if any. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.

 

FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, ‘Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157’ (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.

 

FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, ‘Determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly’ (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is applied prospectively. The impact of implementing this new pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements is currently unknown.
