• Whenever authorization is given to operate with<br />

derivative instruments, the effectiveness of the derivatives<br />

contracted as hedge instruments must be qua notified. This<br />

effectiveness shall be within the limits defined by IAS 39.<br />

Any ineffective part of the fair value of the hedge derivatives<br />

shall be considered for limiting the risk.<br />

• Hedges must comply with the effectiveness provided for<br />

in IAS No. 39 between 80% and 125%), and this will be<br />

measured at least on a quarterly basis. If the effectiveness<br />

measured is outside the specified range, the hedge must be<br />

discontinued.<br />

• There must be a file in place for every hedge relationship,<br />

with specific details of the contents: Element hedged, hedge<br />

instrument, description of hedge element with the risk<br />

characteristics being hedged, identification of the nature<br />

of the risk hedged, risk management objective and hedge<br />

strategy, and indicating the methodology and periodicity of<br />

the measurement of the effectiveness of the derivative.<br />

b) Trade debtors and other accounts receivable<br />

This group mainly includes the transactions for vehicle flow<br />

for which invoices to users have not been issued and the<br />

VAT receivable from the MOP for the services of operation,<br />

maintenance and conservation, under the Bidding Terms and<br />

Conditions. Any eventual interest is only documented per<br />

past-due periods. The Excel documents to the clients of the<br />

Company are issued by Sociedad Concesionaria Vespucio<br />

Norte Express S.A., pursuant to the Joint Commercial<br />

Management Agreement entered into by both companies,<br />

which is presented as accounts receivable from related<br />

companies.<br />

c) Bad debt<br />

Bad debt is estimated by applying a model designed based<br />

on the Company’s historical experience and that of similar<br />

companies in the market. The model distinguishes the<br />

type of user (with a tag device or violators), the age of the<br />

sale document and the type of collection activity being<br />

implemented for the account at period-end. Each instance<br />

of the collection process has an associated proportion of<br />

uncollectibility applied to all the documents in that instance.<br />

Additionally, the provision includes all of the documents<br />

issued to one same user as per the taxpayer number with the<br />

proportion of uncollectibility corresponding to the oldest<br />

document, even though there may be some with a more<br />

recent date of issue that have not become past-due yet. This<br />

provision is presented in net in the accounts receivable from<br />

related companies refer to in the preceding letter.<br />

d) Investments in short-term financial instruments<br />

Any cash surpluses originated are invested, according to the<br />

restrictions to which the Company is subject pursuant to longterm<br />

financing contracts, where “Permitted Investments” is<br />

understood as any of the following investments over a period<br />

of time equal to or less than 6 months:<br />

(i) Fixed income securities or instruments issued by any<br />

one of the Creditors (Banks that participate in the long-term<br />

syndicated credit);<br />

(ii) Contracts for the purchase of financial instruments with a<br />

repurchase clause entered into with any one of the Creditors<br />

over instruments issued by the Banco Central de Chile; and<br />

(iii) Others agreed between the majority of the Creditors and<br />

the Company.<br />

e) Financial assets<br />

The Company’s financial assets, other than Cash, are<br />

classified into the following:<br />

• Fair value investments with an effect on results: These<br />

consider investments in financial instruments acquired<br />

for sale in the short term, measured at fair value and its<br />

variations are recorded in income statement account (e.g.<br />

mutual fund quotas).<br />
