The Company <strong>and</strong> its <strong>subsidiaries</strong> are in a process of evaluating the potential effects relative to the pro<strong>no</strong>uncements,<br />
interpretations <strong>and</strong> guidelines, which might have a relevant impact on the financial statements for the year ended<br />
December 31, 2009 to be presented in comparison to the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010,<br />
<strong>and</strong> on the following years.<br />
Technical interpretation ICPC 01 establishes the criteria of recognition <strong>and</strong> measurement of the concession contracts,<br />
classifying the rights of the companies to which it applies as an intangible asset <strong>and</strong>/or financial asset recorded at their<br />
fair value.<br />
Considering the complexity of the alterations required by aforesaid technical interpretation upon the application in the<br />
electric energy generation, transmission <strong>and</strong> distribution businesses, the Company is still evaluating its impacts on its<br />
financial statements, at the same time as it keeps track of the discussions <strong>and</strong> debates in the market, especially at the<br />
accounting entities <strong>and</strong> professional bodies <strong>and</strong> at the regulatory agencies, which might express an opinion about the<br />
aspects for the application of such interpretation.<br />
In view of the foregoing, the Company underst<strong>and</strong>s that at this time it is <strong>no</strong>t possible to evaluate <strong>and</strong> reliably quantify the<br />
effects of the application of ICPC01 on its financial statements.<br />
