The special obligations, shown as adjustment accounts of Fixed assets, refer mainly to funds received from consumers<br />
earmarked for the execution of ventures necessary for the fulfillment of requests for supply of electric energy. These<br />
obligations are directly related to the Concession of the Electricity Public Utility Service <strong>and</strong>, in accordance with<br />
Regulatory Resolution 234 of October 31, 2006, <strong>and</strong> Directive Release SFF/ANEEL 1,314/2007, of June 27, 2007 begin<br />
to be amortized as of the 2nd periodic tariff review, by a rate defined by ANEEL corresponding to the average<br />
depreciation rate of the assets in service linked to the electric distribution system <strong>and</strong> also in the proportion of the<br />
corresponding disabled assets.<br />
In compliance with the requirements of ANEEL, through Order nº 294, of February 1, 2008, effective from January 1st,<br />
2008, the <strong>subsidiaries</strong> implement the capitalization procedure of the portion of 10 (ten) percent of the expenditures with<br />
central administration, with a basis on the direct costs of personnel <strong>and</strong> outsourced services allocated to orders in<br />
progress (<strong>no</strong>te 16.3), mainly those related to the increases to Fixed assets in progress, recording in contra account, by<br />
transfer, to credit from the statement of income - Operating expenses - General <strong>and</strong> administrative. Under the terms of<br />
the current tariff regulations, these expenditures are recognized as indirect additional costs incorporable to fixed assets,<br />
forming an integral part of the Regulatory Remuneration Basis of the distributor <strong>subsidiaries</strong>, <strong>and</strong> are therefore computed<br />
in the calculation basis of the electricity <strong>and</strong> distribution system usage tariffs.<br />
Repairs <strong>and</strong> maintenance are allocated to net income during the period in which they are incurred. The cost of the main<br />
renewals is included in the book value of the asset when it is likely that the future eco<strong>no</strong>mic benefits that surpass the<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard of performance initially evaluated for the existing asset will flow to the Company. The main renewals are<br />
depreciated over the course of the remaining useful life of the related asset.<br />
g) Intangible assets (Note 17)<br />
Intangible assets involve assets acquired from third parties, including by means of business combination, <strong>and</strong> those<br />
generated internally by the Company <strong>and</strong> its <strong>subsidiaries</strong>, substantially represented by expenditures in the<br />
implementation of software <strong>and</strong> development of projects. The following criteria are applied:<br />
• Acquired from third parties by means of business combination: Goodwill determined in acquisitions involving<br />
business combinations;<br />
• Intangible assets acquired from third parties: these are measured by the total cost of purchase, less amortization<br />
expenses.<br />
• Intangible assets generated internally: they are only recognized as assets only in the development phase provided<br />
the following aspects are demonstrated:<br />
a) Technical viability to conclude the intangible asset so that it is available for use or sale;<br />
b) Intention to conclude the intangible asset <strong>and</strong> to use it or sell it;<br />
c) Capacity to use or sell the intangible asset;<br />
d) Demonstrate the existence of market or other means of accruing eco<strong>no</strong>mic benefits;<br />
e) Availability of technical <strong>and</strong> financial resources;<br />
