Message from the PresidentAnnual Report 2007

Eletrobrás finishes 2007 with great and renewed expectations. In another year of work, we 
reaffirmed our commitment with the country’s development, taking part in the creation of a 
new institutional model for the Brazilian energy industry, investing in conservation and eco-
nomy of resources and in alternative energy sources. With our minds and eyes in the future, 
we build a present of significant achievements. As a whole, they provide us with the assurance 
that we are living a single historic moment. Maybe one of the most important one, since the 
creation of the company, in 1962.

As essential investments for the Brazilian economy growth, we emphasize the conclusion 
of big generation and transmission works and the resume of structuring projects of the local 
interconnected system and of the isolated system. Itaipu gained an additional 1400 MW po-
wer after the installation of the two last machines. Tucuruí plant is today one of the biggest 
hydroelectric  plant  in  the  world  in  operation,  with  a  total  of  8370  MW  capacity  after  the 
conclusion of the second phase. In Candiota C, after 23 years of interruption, more than R$ 1 
billion have been invested. In addition, it was granted authorization to resume the construc-
tion of Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant, suspended for more than 20 years, and new enterprises 
were created, such as the plants of Santo Antônio and Jirau, in Madeira river, with resources 
of approximately R$ 20 billion. 

These are some of the different actions that consolidate the basis of the future energy 
sector in Brazil. But the future is also made with energy rationalization and conservation and 
with the development of alternative sources. Accordingly, Eletrobrás played an important role 
in the federal government programs. The program to Foster Alternative Sources of Electric Po-
wer (Proinfa) has implemented 144 enterprises, in a total of 3300 MW and private investments 
of approximately R$ 10 billion. National Program for Electric Power Conservation (Procel) and 
the  National  Program  of  Efficient  Public  Lighting  (ReLuz)  Foster  actions  aiming  at  energy 
conservation and saving. And nearly 10 million Brazilian started to have electricity thanks to 
the program called Luz para Todos, the biggest program of electric power services provided to 
rural areas in the world.

We believe in a country that grows every day, propelled by currency stability, update and 
modernization of its industrial facilities, by the good results in the trade balance and by the 
special attention paid by the government of President Lula to strategic sectors. We believe in 
the prime role of the energy in this scenario. And we believe, mainly, that it is with knowled-
ge, ideas and goals that we may build the future. To improve and strengthen them, Eletrobrás 
has invested nearly R$ 43 million in training, improvement and expansion of Cepel’s labora-
tories and human resources. And it has implemented Unise, a corporate university, betting on 
the improvement of the individual skills of its professionals and of the company itself.

And due to these facts, we hope for the best for the coming year. A certainty that may be 
reinforced after the approval of Provisional Measure 396, currently being voted by the Federal 
Senate. After being approved, it will cause changes in important aspects of Eletrobrás by-laws 
and its operating structure, enabling us to fly higher. Always guided by the energy of our most 
significant goals. 

José Antonio Muniz
President of Eletrobrás

1.1 Company’s Profile
1.1 Company’s Profile

Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A – Eletrobrás is a public mixed-capital company controlled 
by the Federal Government, which holds 53.99% of common shares. It is the biggest holding 
of the energy industry in Latin America, and its shares are negotiated in the São Paulo Stock 
Exchange  (Bovespa),  in  the  Madrid  Stock  Exchange,  in  Spain,  and  in  the  over  the  counter 
market in the USA (American Depositary Receipts – ADR level 1). Eletrobrás’ purpose, since 
its creation in 1962, has been the conduction of studies, projects, construction, operation of 
energy producing plants and electricity transmission and distribution lines.

The following energy generation, transmission and distribution companies are under Ele-
trobrás’  control:  Chesf,  Furnas,  Eletronorte,  Eletronuclear,  Eletrosul  and  CGTEE.  The  holding 
also controls Light Participações S.A. – Lightpar, in a joint system, Itaipu Binacional, pursuant 
to the International Treaty signed between Brazil and Paraguay. Also, it operates in energy 
distribution area by means of federal companies Eletroacre (Acre), Ceal (Alagoas), Ceam (Ama-
zonas), Cepisa (Piauí) and Ceron (Rondônia), in addition to the distributors Manaus Energia 
and Boa Vista Energia S.A., fully subsidiaries of Eletronorte.

Eletrobrás system, which comprises the controlled companies, counts with a production 
installed capacity of 39753 MW* _ 39.6% of the local total amount _, distributed among 30 
hydroelectric plants, 15 thermoelectric plants and two nuclear power plant. Transmission lines 
reach 56789 kilometers, representing 63% of the Brazilian system. Eletrobrás group works in 
an integrated way, adopting policies and guidelines defined by Eletrobrás Board of Directors, 
which are operated by the High Council of Eletrobrás (Consise), consisting of the presidents of 
the holding and of the controlled companies. Research and Development activities consist of 
the major attributions of the Electric Power Research Center (“Centro de Pesquisas de Energia 
Elétrica - Cepel”), created 34 years ago, which is the greatest institution of this type in the 
South hemisphere. 

Eletrobrás is responsible for managing a portfolio of sectorial resources consisting of the 
Global Reversion Reserve (RGR), Energy Development Account (CDE), Public Assets Use (UBP)

1.3 Global Scenario
1.3 Global Scenario

The expected growth in global economy for 2007 by the United Nations Organization is of 
3.4%. The principal economies present moderate expansion rates, mainly in view of the US real 
estate crisis which affected the financial markets worldwide in the last quarter of the year.

The United States grew 2.2% in 2007, against the 3.8% registered in 2006. This was the 
lowest growth rate in the US economy in the past five years. The US commercial deficit de-
creased by 6.2%, compared to the prior year, mainly by virtue of the US dollar devaluate in 
relation to other principal currencies. Despite the decreased in general deficit, there has been 
an increase of 10.2% regarding the trade with China, reaching US$ 256.3 billion a year. 

In Japan, against the analysts’ opinion, the economic growth exceeded the expected one. 
In 2007, the second biggest economy of the world grew 2.1%, although the estimation was 
of 1.5%. China, in its turn, obtained in 2007 the most significant economic growth of the 
past 13 years, and reached the rate of 11.4%. This is the fifth consecutive year in which the 
Chinese economy presented two-digit growth rate, confirming thus its position as the forth 
biggest economy of the world, just behind the United States, Japan and Germany.

In Europe, preliminary data presented by Eurostat – European Union statistics agency – 
indicted that the economic activity of the continent increased 2.9%. Also according to the 
agency, unemployment rate reached 7.1%.  By analyzing the principal European countries, we 
may note that the German economy growth in 2007 was of 2.5%, less than the 2.9% regis-
tered in 2006, basically in view of the increase in exports and the expansion of investments. 
As estimated, the French economy grew 1.9% in 2007, against the 2.2% of the prior year.  
Spanish economy, on the other hand, grew 3.8%, one tenth less than in 2006.

Petroleum

In 2007, the petroleum barrel price increased 57.21% compared to 2006. A performance 
similar  to  2002,  when  the  increase  was  of  57.26%.  The  strong  demand  for  petroleum  and 
fuels worldwide (principally in the USA, China and India) and the geopolitical tensions in the 
principal producing regions were the determining factors for the increase in commodity quo-
tations. The price of intermediary petroleum in Texas (WTI, light) amounted to approximately 
US$ 100, an amount that had no longer been seen since 1983.

Latin America

GNP expansion in the region is expected by 5.6% in 2007, the same rate reached in 2006, 
according to the Latin American and Caribbean Economic Committee (Cepal). Argentina, for 
example, reached 8.6%, the fifth consecutive year with rates in excess of 8%. Also, following 
the petroleum price rises, Venezuela maintained its expansion rhythm and grew 8.5% against 
the 10.3% in 2006.

According to Cepal report, in 2007, many of the principal characteristics of the current 
economic phase of the region identified in the past five years were maintained. Among the 
most important ones are: the surplus in current account (although in lower level), the im-
provement in exchange terms, the primary fiscal surplus, the decreasing unemployment, the 
increase in international reserves and reduction of the external debt. 

The principal factors that contributed to the economic increase were: the increase in con-
sumption and in capital investments. Direct Foreign Investment in Latin America ended the 
year with a balance of US$ 77 billion, an increase of 69% compared to 2006, with emphasis 
on Brazil with US$ 34.6 billion, followed by Mexico with US$ 16 billion.

1.4 Brazilian Scenario
1.4 Brazilian Scenario

The Brazilian GDP growth is estimated by 5.4%, according to official sources. The Brazilian 
industrial GDP increased 6% in 2007, according to IBGE, which is the best result since the 
8.3% in 2004. 

The Trade Balance ended 2007 with a balance of US$ 40,039 billion. The result was 13.8 % 
less than the one registered in 2006, according to the Ministry of Development, Industry and 
Foreign Trade which attributed this reduction to the valuation of the local currency compared 
to US dollar and Euro. 

In 2007, exports totaled US$ 160,683 billion, registering an increase of 16.6% in relation 
to the prior year. Imports increased 32%, from US$ 91,351 billion, in 2006, to US$ 120,583 
billion,  in  2007.  Basic  products  have  registered  the  best  exporting  performance  with  US$ 
51,59 billion, in 2007, representing an increase of 28.08%; sales of semi-manufactured pro-
ducts increased 11.7%, reaching US$ 21,80 billion; and manufactured products, responsible 
for 52.3% of the total exported by the country in 2007, increased 11.9%, from US$ 75,02 
billion, in 2006, to US$ 83,94 billion, in 2007. 

In the capital and financial account of the payments balance, the item portfolio invest-
ments (public securities, shares, etc.) registered an increase of US$ 47,9 billion against the 
US$ 9,5 billion in 2006. Foreign investments in shares and fixed income securities significan-
tly increased of 1.530% compared to the 240% of 2006, reaching, respectively R$ 26,2 billion 
and R$ 21,7 billion. 

During 2007, the entry of direct foreign investments amounted to US$ 34,6 billion, which 
represents an increase of 84,3% in relation to the prior year. According to Central Bank, this 
result represented a new record, exceeding the previous one, established in 2000, when US$ 
32,7 billion in investments entered Brazil. However, in that year there was a significant entry 
of funds due to privatizations. International reserves increased US$ 94,5 billion, accumulating 
a record volume of US$ 180,3 billion, in 2007.

Monetary policy and inflationary goals

The  monetary  policy  adopted  by  the  federal  government,  through  the  Brazilian  Central 
Bank (Bacen), had, as a guideline, the inflationary control, using the goals system. For 2007, 
the goal was established by 4.5% for the official index, the Wide Consumers Prices Index (“Ín-
dice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo – IPCA”), and there may be deviations of 2% for more or 
less, called upper and lower band, respectively. In view of the price behavior along the year, 
the Monetary policy Committee (Copom) followed a policy of interest rate reduction in 2007.
The inflation measured by IPCA ended 2007 in 4.46%. With a weight of 21.44% in the 
index, the food and beverages group was the major responsible for the increase of 10.79% in 
12 months. Non-food products, with weight of 78.56%, increased 2.83% in the accumulated 
of the year due to reduced variations in items such as fixed telephony (0.34%), electricity 
(-6.16%), real estate (1.76%), and other. 

The General Market Price Index (IGP-M) ended the year with an increase of 7.75% against 
the 3.14% in 2006. The said index is much sensitive to exchange variations, since 60% of its 
weigh refer to wholesale products, much more than those referenced in US dollar. Considering 
the devaluation of the US currency against Real, we may note that the exchange was not a de-
termining factor for the noted increase. In a nutshell, (INCC – National Index of Construction 
Cost) increased 4.6% (civil construction), and its participation of 10% in the formation of the 
index; the IPC (consumer), which corresponds to 30%, registered an increase of 4.5%; and IPA 
(wholesale), increased 9.9%, contributing to 60% of the said index.

Public Finances

The  primary  surplus  fostering  policy  continued  in  2007.  The  Need  of  Public  Sector  Fi-
nancing (“Necessidade de Financiamento do Setor Público – NFSP”), in the primary concept, 
ended 2007 with -3.98% of the GDP, exceeding the goal of -3.8%. The federal government was 
responsible for the greatest part of the tax effort, 4.11% of the GDP, followed by state gover-
nments (0.48%) and public companies (0.48%). Nominal rates decreased from 6.86% of the 
GDP, in 2006, to 6.25%, in 2007, causing a reduction in nominal NFSP at the rate of 0.73%.

The federal public debt increased by 7.8% compared to 2006, reaching R$ 1.334 trillion. 
Even though, it as below the goal estimated by the National Treasury which, due to the finan-
cial crises (subprime) of the second semester, interrupted the launching of new papers. The in-
crease of 12% of the DPMFi (internal debt) was responsible for the increase of the total public 
debt of the federal government, from R$ 1,093.5 trillion, in 2006, to R$ 1,224.9 trillion, in 
2007. The external debt ended 2007 in R$ 108,88 billion, with a decrease of 24.1% in relation 
to 2006 (R$ 143.5 billion). Real valuation and the buyback program, in addition to the fact 
that the contractual debt and bonds due date exceeded the new emissions and the contracts 
were responsible for the reduction of this debt portion. 

14

Annual Report 2007

The economic-political stabilization of the country has benefited the postponement of the 
public debt payment. Federal government considered positive the management of the public 
debt in 2007. In fact, the average maturity of papers was increased from 35 months in 2006, 
to 39 months in 2007, which contributed to a reduction in refinancing risk. Also, we may note 
the continuity of the reduction of Exchange indexed securities (12.7% and 8.2% for 2006 and 
2007, respectively) and the Selic rate (33.4% in 2006 and 30.7% in 2007). Prefixed securities, 
jointly with those remunerated by price indexes have consolidated as the principal financing 
instruments of the federal government, from 51.8%, in 2006, to 59.2%, in 2007.

São Paulo Stock Exchange

Ibovespa index registered profitability of 43.65% in 2007, closing the year with 63.886 
points. Market value of companies with shares listed at Bovespa reached R$ 2,477.6 billion in 
December 2007, an increase of 60.4% in relation to the prior year. Companies that integrate 
the Bovespa index portfolio and Brasil index (IbrX-100) are responsible for 71.2% and 75.9%, 
respectively, of the total capitalization value. Sectors with activities of greater market value 
in 2007 were: Financial institutions, with R$ 473,7 billion (19.1% of the total); Oil, Gas and 
Biofuel, with R$ 437,2 billion (17,6%); Mining, with R$ 291,7 billion (11.8%); and Electrici-
ty, with R$ 182.0 billion (7.3%). This excellent performance was followed by the exceeding 
historical maximum values and also by the greatest financial volume in the Stock Exchange 
history.

Foreign capital increase was, once again, the biggest responsible for the index valuation, 
comprising  34.5%  of  the  total  volume,  below  the  35.5%  of  2006.  Foreigners’  participation 
in public share offers was significant, including IPOs (initial public share offers), of 75.8%. 
Foreign funds flow to the Brazilian stock market amounted to R$ 45.2 billion, resulting in 
R$ 49.4 billion in acquisitions made by foreigners in public share offers and deficit in direct 
negotiation at Bovespa, which amounted to R$ 4,2 billion. 

 Bovespa ended 2007 with 64 initial public stock offers, an increase of 146%, which re-
presented a generation of R$ 55.5 billion against the R$ 30.4 billion of 2006. The factors res-
ponsible for the exception performance of the stock Exchange may be attributed to the high 
international liquidity, the good performance of the productive sector, controlled inflation, 
decreasing interest and credit expansion.

Another  aspect  that  contributed  to  the  boom  of  the  Brazilian  capital  market  was  the 
increase of 108% in the number of individual investors, from 219.634 accounts in 2006, to 
456.557, in 2007. Stock Exchange reached a daily business average of 152.872 – an increase 
of 74,7% in relation to 2006, while the total negotiated volume increased by 100,3%, rea-
ching R$ 1,2 trillion. Accordingly, the daily average raised to R$ 4,9 billion, 101.1% in excess 
of the R$ 2,4 billion in 2006.

1.5 Electricity Market 
1.5 Electricity Market

Annual Report 2007

Electricity supply market in 2007 totalled 367.278 GWh, representing an increase of 4.9% 
in relation to the prior year (Table 1). Considering the market evolution per subsystems, it is 
important to note performance of the Isolated and Northeast subsystem, of which increase 
rates were of 6.1% and 6.3% respectively.

However, in relation to the spatial distribution of electricity consumption, Southeast /Mid-West 
represented 59.3% of the Brazilian supply market, while Interconnected South, Northeast, North 
subsystems and Isolated systems amounted to 17.4%, 14.2%, 7% and 2.1%, respectively.

By analyzing the market based on consumption class viewpoint, it is possible to identify 
the  characteristics  of  electricity  consumption  of  each  one  of  the  subsystems.  While  in  the 
North and South the commercial class was the one that presented the highest increase rates 
(8.1% and 8.4%, respectively), in Isolated Systems and in Northeast, the performance of the 
industrial class was the most significant one (5.2% and 6.2%, respectively). In Southeast /
Mid West, the greatest increase was noted in Commercial and Residential classes (6.1% and 
5.2% respectively) (Table 2).

Among the aspects that interfered during 2007 in the electricity market behavior in re-
sidential consumption class, we may highlight the expansion of credit offer, the decrease in 
interest  rate,  stimulating  the  sales  of  electrical  appliances,  the  good  performance  of  civil 
construction and the expressive increase in the quantity of new residential connections, ari-
sing from the program Luz para Todos. These aspects consisted of a favorable environment so 
that the growth of this consumption class could exceed the total market growth.

On the other hand, the significant increase in the imported quantum in all use categories, mainly 
in durable consumption goods (increase of 54.4% in the accumulated January-October 2007, compa-
red to the same period in the prior year), limited the increase of the consumption of the Industrial 
class (domestic demand met by an increasing portion of goods externally manufactured).

In relation to Other Classes (a combination of public illumination, rural, public service, pu-
blic power and own consumption), it is important to note the increase in rural consumption, 
mainly in view of the program Luz para Todos in the North and Northeaster and the greater 
use of irrigation.

1.7 International Activities

In line with the policy to consolidate and expand its operations in the international energy 
sector, Eletrobrás participated, jointly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in understandings 
with entities from Latin America countries, with the purpose of meeting the three technical 
cooperation projects that should be signed in 2008. 

Two of them resulted at the request of Instituto Costarriquense de Eletricidade (ICE) and 
were sent to Furnas and Cepel, in view of the interest areas: maintenance of electric power 
plants and certification of laboratories, respectively. The third, resulting from a request of the 
Venezuelan CVG Edelca to Cepel, basically involves cooperation in technical and laboratorial 
training.

In addition, the pursuit of business opportunity prospection of mutual interest in Africa 
- Angola and Namibia, jointly with Furnas continued. Supporting the Ministry of Mines and 
Energy, Eletrobrás also took part in negotiations related to inventory survey of area of the 
Uruguai river, on the frontier of Brazil and Argentina. Such survey is also supported by the 
International Treaty signed in 1982 between these both countries.

With the purpose of fostering regional integration, Eletrobrás holder of the Chairmanship 
and the management of the Executive Secretariat of the Brazilian Committee of Energy Inte-
gration (Bracier) and Regional Committee (Cier), took part in two international meetings held 
by the Committee, in Uruguay and in Colombia. 

In 2007, Bracier concluded the project “Diagnosis of energy efficiency situation in South 
America countries”, which purpose is to carry out a diagnosis of the energy efficiency situa-
tion and seeking subsidies so that the 10 member countries of South America may have the 
opportunity to elaborate local incentive policies for the development of the matter. The re-
sults showed many needs, opportunities and great potential in this region, but also concluded 
that the expertise developed in some countries, by means of their experience and competen-
ces, enables the provisioning of solutions to meet energy integration and sustainability in 
the region. 

Outside the regional scenario, in 2007 Eletrobrás took part in an agreement to provide 
international consulting services to Três Gargantas plant, at the request of China Three Gorges 
Project Corporation – CTGPC to Itaipu. It was also visited by foreign delegations from Costa 
Rica, China, Equator, France, Russia, Poland, England, Korea, Zimbabwe, El Salvador, India and 
Nigeria.

2. Corporate and Financial AnalysisAnnual Report 2007

2.1 Economic and Financial Performance
2.1 Economic and Financial Performance

Eletrobrás ended 2007 with profit of R$ 1,547,9 million, equivalent to R$ 1.37 per lot of 
one thousand shares. In 2006, the company registered a profit of R$ 1,161.3 million, equiva-
lent to R$ 1.03 per lot of one thousand shares, registering an increase of 33%.

The performance of Real compared to other foreign currencies and the fact that Eletrobrás 
holds a relevant share of its receivables (net of liabilities) – R$ 15,197.0 million (US$ 8,579.6 
million) – indexed to external currencies, with emphasis on US dollar, created a loss scenario 
for the company in 2007, which withheld its evolution. 

Along  the  12  months  of  2007,  Eletrobrás  registered  Exchange  losses  in  the  amount  of 
R$ 3,001.7 million. In the same period of the prior year, the company presented exchange 
losses in the amount of R$ 1,599.3 million, arising out of its financing and loans portfolio. In 
relation to the exchange variations arising out of internal price levels, in 2007, the company 
presented a gain of R$ 529,2 million, 60% higher than the one noted in 2006, when gains 
were registered in the amount of R$ 330,6 million. 

Despite the strong reduction in income, caused by exchange matters, however, the influ-
ence  of  financial  income  resulting  greatly  from  its  financing  and  loans  portfolio,  enabled 
Eletrobrás to register expressive net gain of R$ 3,741.7 million, as a result of its investment 
program along many years and the low indebtedness level. In 2006, financing and loan port-
folio granted generated a net gain of R$ 3.499,4 million.

The income generated by the 21 companies in which Eletrobrás holds investments, which 
were assessed by equity method, positively impacted the company’s revenue of the year, when 
the company registered gains of R$ 1,883.3 million. This result was influenced by the surplus 
noted in the Complementary Pension Plan Foundations, sponsored by the companies of Eletro-
brás system, in the amount of R$ 1,224.4 million, with emphasis to Fundação Real Grandeza, 
which, alone, contributed to a surplus of R$ 1,138.0 million.

Electricity sale, despite the expressive revenue of approximately R$ 7.555,6 million, cor-
responding  to  the  sale  of  the  energy  generated  by  Itaipu  Binacional  and  by  the  Incentive 
Program  to  Alternative  Energy  Sources  (Proinfa),  did  not  represent  gains  to  the  company, 
pursuant to Law No.10.438/02. 

In relation to the energy of Itaipu, Eletrobrás registered an equivalent to R$ 96 million, 
resulting from the development of electricity sale activity, in the period from January to De-
cember 2007, corresponding to the surplus generated by the activity in the 12 months, to be 
transferred to consumers in future years, via tariff. The accumulated and recoverable deficit, 
arising out of electricity sale operations of Itaipu, at December 31, 2007 corresponds to R$ 
179,5 million and is not a risk for the company’s investors, in view of the activity modeling 
established in the applicable law.

Proinfa, which grants Eletrobrás the right to sell the energy produced in the following 20 
years, generated in 2007 a surplus of R$ 250,4 million, carried out within the limits of the 
program, without impacting the stockholder’s profitability.

Eletrobrás  has  also  sought  new  businesses  in  the  electricity  generation  and  transmis-
sion sectors in order to increment its share in the sector, increasing its resources generation 

23

capacity, focusing on the expansion of its profitability and greater remuneration of its sto-
ckholders. The company is listed at the Corporate Sustainability Index of Bovespa (ISE), which 
means that it is recognized in the market by its transparency and good corporate governance 
practices. Today, it is listed under Bovespa’s Level 1– Corporate Governance Levels. 

The concept of corporate sustainability is based on the triple bottom line principle, which 
grants the same weigh to environmental, social and financial indicators. The principle assumes 
that a project may be prejudiced by a big environmental liability or by labor practices not 
acceptable  worldwide.  Due  to  this  reason,  big  international  financial  institutions  attribute 
lower risk to companies that present such sustainability practices included in their business 
strategies. And having the Sustainability Index means that such companies have lower costs 
with international fund generation, either in the equity market or in the debt one. Big pension 
funds have great interest in sustainable companies. 

Accordingly, Eletrobrás has also adhered to the Global Covenant with a strategic position 
along with the biggest companies of the world, aligned by UNO in relation to Corporate Social 
Responsibility. Seeking a more sustainable and inclusive global economy, the Covenant esta-
blishes 10 universal principles, involving human rights, labor rights, environmental protection 
and fighting corruption. The Global Covenant is related to big Socially Responsible Investment 
movements which address the corporate sustainability concept in a worldwide level. Thus, Ele-
trobrás has worked seriously to show its investors its social-environmental actions, considered 
to be politically correct.  In addition to such measures, the Company is bound to obtain its 
registration from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), of the United States, to comply 
with Sarbanes-Oxley Law.

2.6 Corporate Risk Analysis
2.6 Corporate Risk Analysis

Annual Report 2007

Since the creation of the Risks and Profitability Analysis Division Eletrobras has taken the 
first steps to adopt practices and tools for a systematic treatment of risks. Accordingly, it aims 
at meeting the fundamental premises of corporate governance and sustainability, improving 
the company’s image for different stakeholders and adding value to its operations.

During  2007,  two  big  projects  started.  The  first  one  refers  to  the  hedge  program,  with 
derivative instruments to mitigate the exchange risk of Eletrobrás, based on studies extending 
from May to July and meetings with financial institutions. In the second semester four Execu-
tive Committee’ Resolutions and three Board of Director’s Deliberations were approved on the 
matter, defining the regulatory basis for the structuring of the operations. The beginning of 
negotiations is estimated for the first quarter of 2008. The program will reduce, substantially, 
the volatility in the company’s results, making them clearer and aligned with its operating 
development.

The second project was the implementation of corporate risk management, firstly focused 
on the Financial Directory. The purpose was developing an analysis methodology and qualita-
tive measuring, so as to consolidate the risk culture, passing through all decision making pro-
cesses in the company. Different strategic areas were mapped, with emphasis on the impact 
of the activities on the volatility level of the estimated cash flow.

The process resulted in the contracting of Ernst & Young consulting, already responsible 
for the adjustments to Sarbanes-Oxley Law. The consulting work will continue along the first 
semester  of  2008  and  will  provide  the  company  with  a  risk  integrated  management  model 
that will enable it to identify, manage, and monitor the relevant exposures and opportunities 
with focus on strategic objectives of Eletrobrás. This model will also enable the integration 
of isolated practices existing in the company, such as the treatment of environmental, equity, 
operating issue and IT risks.

3.1. Rating
3.1. Rating

Risk classification of Eletrobrás’ debt papers is directly related to the risk classification 
obtained by the country, since the federal government is its majority stockholder. According 
to the agency Standard & Poor’s, the sovereign rating, in the global level, ended the year with 
BBB level for businesses in local currency and BB+ for foreign currency, reaching the invest-
ment grade for businesses in local currency. In reality, the effect of this classification may be 
noted in the risk-country (difference between the interest rate paid by the Brazilian and US 
treasury securities). 

The  highest  amount  reached  occurred  in  November  26,  (252  points),  while  the  lowest, 
137, was registered in June 18. The risk-country ended 2007 at 222 points, and the evolution 
along 2007 is illustrated as follows:

3.3. Corporate Governance Indicators

Annual Report 2007

Corporate Sustainability Index of Bovespa (ISE): Eletrobrás had its shares listed in the 
said  index  in  December  2007,  being  one  of  those  companies  that  have  the  best  corporate 
sustainability practices based on the concept Triple Bottom Line. Currently, 43 shares issued 
by 34 companies of 14 economy sectors are listed at ISE Bovespa.

Level  1  of  Bovespa’s  Corporate  Governance:  Eletrobrás  continues  working  in  order  to 
increase its transparency. In September 29, it had  listed on level 1 of Bovespa’s corporate 
governance. This adhesion is voluntary and the company, its controllers and administrators 
undertake the commitment to follow the listing regulation standards of Bovespa. The principal 
objectives are the improvement of information disclosure to the financial market (more trans-
parency) and shareholding scattering.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) Level 2: they are certificates issued by foreign 
banks  that  correspond  to  Brazilian  company’s  shares,  since  they  may  not  be  sold  abroad. 
ADRs have three different levels of issuance, being level 3 the one that enables the launching 
of new shares. Currently, ADRs sold by Eletrobrás are under level 1 and are sold in over-the-
counter market, that is, are not sold in stock exchange, and, accordingly, it is not possible to 
generate funds from such papers. The objective is introducing the company to the investor, 
preparing it for future funding. Eletrobrás has been concluding the adjustment of the financial 
statements to US-GAAP standard, the adjustments of actuarial part, the legal standards for the 
elaboration of Form 20-F, as well as the control mapping of Law Sarbanes Oxley Law (SOX), 
with the purpose of moving to Level 2. Accordingly, its shares will start to be traded in stock 
exchange, such as, the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange).

Annual Report 2007

After  the  negotiations  started  in  prior  years,  in  April  2007,  financing  agreements  were 
signed between Eletrobrás and the banks China Development Bank – CDB and BNP Paribas, in 
the amount of US$ 430 million. The funds were intended to be used at CGTEE, by means of a 
transfer agreement with Eletrobrás and applied in the construction project of Phase C of the 
thermoelectric plant Candiota II. 

The financing started on June 5, 2006, after the signature of the Agreement for Improve-
ment of Cooperation in Construction Infrastructure Implementation Area, signed in Beijing, 
between the Brazilian and Chinese governments, and corroborated by Legislative Decree No. 
409. The Financing operation was approved by the Federal Senate, according to the terms of 
Resolution No. 34, on August 3, 2006, which guaranteed the contract by Eletrobrás of finan-
cing with CDB and BNP Paribas banks.  

The operation was carried out in two parts: Part I, in the amount of US$ 281 million, with 
maturity of 15 years and Libor interest increased by 0.75% a.a.; and Part II, in the amount of 
US$ 149 million, with maturity of 8 years and Libor interest increased by 1.30% a.a.

Along the year, negotiations were made to obtain loan from the German bank KfW, in the 
amount of € 37.5 million, to be transferred to Eletrosul. Such funds will be used to build a 
small power plant complex, named São Bernardo.  Government authorizations are still pending 
for the performance of such operations.

The year 2007 was marked by US financial market turbulence and the consequent credit 
restriction in international financial markets, while capital market was reduced in the number 
of issuances from emerging countries. In view of this scenario, Eletrobrás carried out no fund 
generation during 2007. 

In this year, negotiations were started to obtain the corresponding authorizations to con-
duct a fund raising program of US$ 600 million for the next year, with the purpose of financing 
the projects listed in PAC and also the projects from companies of Eletrobrás system in gained 
at the auctions.

The Program for Incentive to Alternative Energy Sources (Proinfa) has the purpose of in-
creasing the participation in electric power produced by enterprises based on Aeolian sources, 
Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (PCH) and Biomass, in the National Interconnected System 
(SIN). Accordingly, Proinfa contributes to diversify the country’s energy matrix, by using lo-
cal energy resources and the creation of jobs, which enables it to be in line with the federal 
government’s development programs. 

As sale agent of energy and manager of Proinfa agreements, Eletrobrás certified, in 2007, 
the commercial startup of ten enterprises, being one aeolian, six small hydroelectric power 
plants (PCHs), and three bio-mass plants, adding 231.10 MW of power to the National Electric

Interconnection with uruguay through frequency converting station of Rivera:

Eletrobrás,  through  authorization  granted  by  Aneel  Resolution  No.  043,  of  February  1, 
2001, holds, on the Brazilian side, the exclusiveness of the right to use the facilities of the 
Frequency  Converting  Station  for  energy  import  or  export.  The  converting  station,  which 
power is of 70 MW, interconnects Rivera, in Uruguay with the substation of Santana do Livra-
mento, located in Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. 

During 2007, Eletrobrás, by means of an agreement with the state-owned company Admi-
nistración Nacional de Usinas y Transmisiones Eléctricas (UTE), assigned the right to use the 
converting station facilities through refunding. The sale result of the converting station of 
Rivera in CCEE, in 2007, was positive in the amount of R$ 6.5 million.

Interconnection with Argentina through frequency converting station of uruguaiana:

Eletrobrás, by means of Aneel resolution No. 266, of July 13, 2001, was authorized to im-
port and export electric power through the Frequency Converting Station of Uruguaiana, with 
capacity of 50 MW, that interconnects Paso de Los Libres, in Argentina, with the substation 
Uruguaiana 5, located in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. 

In 2007, meetings involving Eletrobrás were made with the purpose of settling the debt of 
the Argentinean company Ebisa with Eletrosul and, thus, enabling the resume of interchanging 
operations through the converting station.

5.5 Expansion of Electric Power 
Offer of the Eletrobrás System

Annual Report 2007

Expansion studies in the energy sector are fundamental for Eletrobrás’ strategic planning 
and may be used as a basis for decision making processes regarding investments, for granting 
of financings or interest holding in generation enterprises.

In the Ten-Year Plan of Electric Power Expansion (PDEE) 2007-2016, elaborated by the Em-
presa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE), Eletrobrás System played an important role in the studies 
of big hydroelectric projects, such as Belo Monte, Santo Antônio and Jirau, plants of Rio Teles 
Pires, among others. As well as in the participation of studies in the nuclear plant Angra 3 
and charcoal in the South of the country, which have demonstrated an increasing relevance of 
those sources of energy and the importance that Eletrobrás System will certainly have in the 
feasibility of enterprises of such nature. 

As initial references for the analysis of the expansion of Eletrobrás System, the history of 
its participation in the country over the past five years and the current installed capacity of 
the country, per type of generation, are demonstrated as follows:

The medium term reference scenario of PDEE presents a GDP growth rate of 4.2% a year 
for the period between 2007 and 2016, which results in a growth rate of its own energy po-
wer of 5.0% a year of the National Interconnected System. With the purpose of meeting such 
demand,  it  is  estimated,  on  the  offer  side,  an  expansion  of  the  installed  capacity  by  69% 
(13 GW) in thermoelectric and 41% (32 GW) in hydroelectric plants for the same period. The 
table below shows the planned plants that will benefit from direct investments of the System. 
It is important to mention that the System expansion also occurs indirectly by means of in-
vestments in Specific Purpose Companies, involving 5.514 MW of installed capacity in plants 
already licensed.

The long-term reference scenario of the National Energy Plan (PNE) 2030, elaborated by 
EPE, indicates a population growth of 53 million people, which means a total of 239 million 
Brazilians in 2030. Considering this scenario, an average rate for economy growth of 4.1% 
was adopted. Thus, PNE 2030 assumed favorable premises for the expansion of hydroelectric 
energy  offer,  demonstrating  a  clear  position  in  supporting  the  government  in  this  type  of 
generation. In strategic terms, this would stimulate the Eletrobrás System participation in the 
defense of the country’s natural vocation towards hydroelectricity.

nies’ contract in the Center the so-called Institutional Projects, basically intended for R&D.

From  2000  to  2007,  Eletrobrás  system  invested  R$  1.276,5  million,  of  which  R$  288,2 
million only in 2007, in an estimated amount of R$ 353,5 million for 2008. Additionally, in 
2007, R$ 50 million were collected to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT) and R$ 
19,2 million to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME/EPE).

Federal  distribution  companies  contracted  R$  25  million  in  Research  and  Development 
in  the  period  2006-2007.  The  developed  projects  and  studies  with  technologic  innovation 
principally aimed at: avoiding electric power waste; reduction of operating costs; increase of 
reliability and safety of systems and facilities and development of alternative energy sources. 
Such measures carried out in Eletrobrás system are coordinated by the Research and Develop-
ment Corporate Integration Committee (Cicop), related to the High Council of the Eletrobrás 
system (Consise) and coordinated by the Technology Director of Eletrobrás.

dardizing the material descriptions used in generation, transmission and distribution of 
electric power.
Maintenance of Centro de Catalogação do Setor Elétrico (Cecase), responsible for registe-
ring material, equipment and services orders of the public sector used in electric power 
generation, transmission and distribution. 
Logistic support to the purchase planning policies of Eletrobrás system, with the purpo-
se of sectorial programming of the acquisitions of goods and services with suppliers.  

•

Rules and Quality:

The principal activities in the quality area were the development of improvements in the 
Quality Management System (SGQ), with the purpose of maintaining the certification granted 
by BRTÜV, certifying entity registered by Inmetro, and the implementation in another area of 
the company. In relation to the project NBR 19000, on suppliers training, an assessment was 
made on the failures in the equipment provided to the affiliates, which enabled the develop-
ment of quality auditing program in suppliers of bypass keys. 

In Technical Rules area, specific demands of the sector were met, as well as the elaboration, 
in the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT), by a secretary group of Eletrobrás, of 
Brazilian Rules for Aeolian Generation Turbines, based on IEC international rules. Also in relation 
to standardization, activities related to coordination were developed and performed by Eletrobrás, 
of Subcommittee of the Technical Committee TC 176- Quality, of the International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO), including the attendance in an international meeting held in Cairo.

8.3 Fuel Consumption Account (CCC)
8.3 Fuel Consumption Account (CCC)

The Isolated Systems Fuel Consumption Account (CCC-Isol) is a fund managed by Eletrobrás 
which aims at covering part of the expenses with acquisition of fuel used in electric power 
generation of thermal electric plants not integrated to the National Interconnected System 
(SIN). Great part of such plants is located in the Northern region of Brazil. 

CCC-Isol includes the payments for enterprises with sub-rogation of the Account’s benefits, 
covering great part of the costs in measures for current or future savings, as the replacement 
of petroleum by-products with other electric power generation sources. 

The coverage of costs is made through expenses refunding. The income that supports this 
coverage is provided from monthly collections made by the electric power distribution and 
transmission companies in the country. 

In 2007, the Annual Fuel Plan estimated an annual quota of R$ 2,871 billion to cover ex-
penses of R$ 3,352 billion. The difference between the income and expense of R$ 481 million 
will be covered by a positive balance from the prior year. From said expenses, 96% were used 
to cover fuels and 4% for transfers to entrepreneurs subject to sub-rogation. The generation 
indicated by the Operating Technical Group of the North Region (GTON) to be met in 2007 was 
of 8.736.149 MWh, with consumption of 717 thousand tons of fuel oil, 224 thousand tons of 
PGE oil, 831 million liters of diesel oil and 537 million liters of light PTE oil.

8.6 Procel

The  National  Program  of  Electric  Energy  Conservation  (Procel)  is  a  Federal  Government 
program coordinated by the Ministry of Mines and Energy - MME, intended to stimulate the 
efficient use of electric energy in the country and to avoid its waste. In this program, Eletro-
brás plays the role of Executive Secretariat, and is responsible for the planning and execution 
of the Program’s actions, providing technical and financial support.

The benefits generated by Procel may be recorded both for the saved energy and for the 
investments avoided in the expansion of the sector, which are reversed into benefits to the 
population. 

In  2007,  Procel,  with  investments  of  nearly  R$  52.6  million,  including  funds  from  the 
Global Reversion Reserve (RGR), developed projects that contributed to a energy saving which 
was preliminarily estimated in the amount of 3 thousand GWh. These results may be compared 
to the electric energy consumption of nearly 1.7 million of homes in one-year period, repre-
senting a postponed investment for the electric sector of nearly R$ 2.35 billion, which may be 
allocated to priority government programs in other areas.

The chart below shows the energy saving estimated in the period from 2001 to 2007.

10. Social ResponsibilityAnnual Report 2007

Eletrobrás Corporate Social Responsibility is inserted in the company’s management and is 
based on a set of values that guide its mission, vision, leadership model, management policies 
and mainly the Code of Ethics. The company’s responsibilities with its public and communities 
where it operates are included in RS Guidelines of Eletrobrás. 

In June 2006, Eletrobrás joined a group of nearly one thousand companies in many coun-
tries and affirmed its adhesion to the principles of the Global Covenant. The commitment has 
the purpose of causing international corporate community leaderships to support the United 
Nations in fostering fundamental values in the environment, human and labor rights areas. 

By confirming its commitment with gender and citizenship issues, Eletrobrás was certified 
by the Pro-Equity of Gender Label (2006/2007), by the Special Secretariat of Women’s Policies 
(SPM),  of  the  Presidency  of  the  Republic,  in  view  of  the  practices  adopted  in  establishing 
equal opportunities between men and women in the company. Among such actions, which are 
implemented in partnership with different areas of the company and monitored by the Perma-
nent Committee for Gender Issues, a significant one was the creation of a Gender Channel, in 
a partnership with the Ombudsman (PRO), which is a confidential communication channel at 
the disposal of all employees for comments and/or complaints on issues related to moral and 
sexual harassment, discrimination of any nature, in addition to inclusion of spouses of the 
same sex in benefits granted by the company. 

In  relation  to  the  society  in  general,  Eletrobrás  social  responsibility  may  be  noted  in 
investments,  supports  and  partnerships,  with  priority  given  to  educational  areas  and  pro-
fessional trainings of youngsters and adults; generation of jobs and income and assistance 
to communities affected by the company’s projects. In 2007, the Social Responsibility De-
partment (DAS) developed and applied jointly with the Organization Department (DAO), the 
Covenant Rule for the Social Responsibility Project (EAE-04), creating and establishing criteria 
for analysis and selection of projects that may be subject to the company’s sponsorship, which 
offers transparency in the social investment process. 

It is important to emphasize that in 2007 the partnership with the Universalization Pro-
gram Management Department (DEP) was improved for a joint effort in the program of energy 
productive use, a complementary Project to the program Luz para Todos (Electricity for Everyo-
ne), enabling the creation of new Production Community Centers (CCPs), with the purpose of 
fostering the economic and social development of the areas serviced by the rural electricity 
installation program of the federal government.

11. Federal Distribution CompaniesAnnual Report 2007

Results of the Federal Distribution Companies:

The  companies  continue  to  be  monitored  by  the  Corporate  Management  Follow-up  Sys-
tem (Siage).  In 2007, notwithstanding the efforts made by Ceal, Cepisa, Ceron and Manaus 
Energia, those companies could not reach the electric power loss levels recognized by Aneel, 
and the goals established with Eletrobrás. In the case of Ceam, although it presents a des-
cending curve of losses of electric power, it failed to reach the goal established by Eletrobrás. 
Eletroacre and Boa Vista Energia, which could reach the levels recognized by Aneel, are the 
companies with the best performance in fighting electric power losses. 

In relation to non-payments, Eletroacre was the only company to meet the goal establi-

shed by Eletrobrás for billing x revenue in 2007.

Works  for  the  process  of  corporate  restructuring  of  Companhia  Energética  do  Amazonas 
(Ceam) and of Manaus Energia S.A., for integration of the electric power distribution activities of 
the two concessionaires in the State of Amazonas, were performed and are under conclusion.

In 2007, Eletrobrás continued with the studies to change the corporate governance model 
adopted for the federal distribution companies, with the purpose of solving their financial-
economic problems, as established by the Law that authorized Eletrobrás’ participation in such 
companies and that included them in the National Privatization Program (PND).

12. EnvironemntAnnual Report 2007

The environmental dimension is inserted in corporate and government activities performed 
by Eletrobrás as support to the decision-making processes. The Environmental Policy of Ele-
trobrás System, created in 2006, establishes that the social-environmental issues should be 
addressed in relation to the electric power enterprise of the companies that integrate them.

The fundamental premises of its formulation are based on public policies guidelines related 
to the environment, hydro resources and social welfare as well as international agreements in 
which Brazil is a party, such as the Climate Convention, Agenda 21, and Kyoto Protocol, and 
the holding’s experience as issuer and manager of principles of social-environmental qualifi-
cation of its activities.

Accordingly,  the  companies  of  Eletrobrás  System  seek  continuous  internalization  of  the 
environmental dimension and its improvement, both in the execution of their own projects 
and in partnerships or in supporting to third parties.

Environmental management actions are related to the company’s activities. In 2007, an 
important one was the environmental licensing of the Hydroelectric Unit of Belo Monte, the 
implementation of Proinfa, the management of isolated systems, financing operations of the 
system companies, generation of external funds and relationship with capital markets.

By granting loans to projects, Eletrobrás carries out a previous environmental analysis of 
the same and follows up their execution in relation to environmental issues. In 2007, it coor-
dinated the technical analysis of the environmental management project financed for Itaipu 
Binacional. The project had the purpose of expanding the environmental management princi-
ples adopted in the Brazilian margin to the Paraguayan margin of the reservoir, assuring the 
compliance with minimum protection standards for well-springs, as required by the Brazilian 
and Paraguayan laws.

In government project and programs management, Eletrobrás is the legal responsible for 
the  environmental  licensing  of  the  Hydroelectric  Unit  of  Belo  Monte  and  coordinates  the 
execution of environmental impact studies of the enterprise. In 2007, the revision and com-
pletion works of the environmental studies interrupted by judicial decision were resumed. The 
environmental licensing process of the enterprise before Ibama was resumed and the Referen-
ce Term was issued for the elaboration of the Environmental Impact Study.

Eletrobrás, as manager of energy purchase and sale agreements signed for Proinfa, also 
performs, on a permanent nature, environmental monitoring activities of the 144 enterprises 
of the program, comprising the checking of conformity with the licensing processes and im-
plementation of the environmental programs.

In relation to the Isolated Systems Operation Program management, it carried out identifi-
cation and analysis of the principal environmental issues related to the thermal Power plants 
and their neighborhood, by means of technical visits.

In relation to studies on critical environmental matters, in partnership with universities 
and research centers, the following projects continued: Strategic Environmental Analysis for 
Generation  Expansion  Planning  and  Incorporation  of  the  Environmental  Dimension  to  the 

87

Annual Report 2007

Transmission Planning, under development at Cepel; the Use of Microalgae in the Management 
of Emissions in Thermal Power Plants and Charcoal Plants under development at FURG. Arran-
gements with the Ministry of Science and Technology were made to estimate the contribution 
of hydroelectric reservoirs for elaboration of the National Inventory of Greenhouse Effects.

Also,  a  project  was  contracted  with  Cepel  to  support  a  corporate  environmental  mana-
gement system. The Project IGS – Social-environmental indicators for the Corporate Sustai-
nability Management of Eletrobrás system has the purposes of establishing a set of social-
environmental performance indicators and implementing a database of related information, 
as a support for the evaluation and communication of improvement in social-environmental 
performance of the system’s Companies.

Additionally, Eletrobrás has developed, jointly with the system’s companies, activities in 
the environmental area that may enable a coherent action, continuously improved, adjusted 
to the legislation in force and to the guidelines mutually agreed. Such actions aim at assuring 
the  compliance  with  the  Environmental  Policy  principles  of  Eletrobrás  System  and  imple-
menting a work agenda involving mutual interest issues, defined in a specific forum of the 
Environmental area of the companies of the system, the Environment Sub-committee (SCMA), 
coordinated by Eletrobrás. SCMA is organically related to the Operation, Planning, Engineering 
and Environment Committee (Copem) which, in its turn, is related to the Higher Committee 
of Eletrobrás system (Consise).

SCMA  operates  as  a  technical  and  institutional  space  that  provides  greater  interaction 
among the companies and defines the common guidelines for the treatment of social-environ-
mental issues and the performance of procedures related to the necessary inter-institutional 
relationships.  In  2007,  SCMA  activities  included  the  inspection  of  the  Report  on  Technical 
Aspects in the Development of Water-species in Reservoirs, of great importance for the ad-
justment of this activity with the electric power generation, and the Inventory of Greenhouse 
Effects of Eletrobrás System – year base 2005, which will be updated and improved on an 
annual basis. Also, it maintained the follow up of Bills which are interesting to the sector, to 
safeguard and guide parliament advisors of the companies and to the MME. SCMA has a docu-
ment services at Eletrobrás website and a channel dedicated to the environment demands at 
the address scma.secretariaexecutiva@eletrobras.com.

In the System Sustainability Committee, Eletrobrás has coordinated integrated and syste-
matic actions that include the diagnosis of the environmental management of the companies 
and implementation of improvements with the purpose of meeting its strategic objectives.

The total installed capacity of the plants of Eletrobrás, including Itaipu Binacional and 
Eletronuclear, is about 38,000 MW. The electricity generation considers the following 
assumptions

a) 

existence of periods, along the day and during the year, where there are higher or 
lower demands of power in the system, for which the plant or generation system 
was dimensioned;

115

Annual Report 2007

b) 

existence of periods where machines are removed from operation for execution of 
preventive or corrective maintenance, and
the water availability of the river where it is located.

c) 
The production of electricity of the plants is a responsibility of the Energy Operation 
Planning and Scheduling area (Planejamento e Programação da Operação Eletroener-
gética), with planning and details that range from annual levels to daily schedules. It 
is currently prepared by the Electric Power National Operator (ONS), which defines the 
amounts and origin of the necessary generation to meet the Brazilian demand in an 
optimized manner, based on the water availability in the hydrographical basins and 
machines in operation, as well as the cost of generation and feasibility of transmission 
of that power through the interlinked system.

Annual Report 2007

NOTE 6 - SuMMARY OF MAIN ACCOuNTING PRACTICES  

The following accounting practices have been adopted in the preparation of the individual 

and consolidated financial statements:

I -  GENERAL

A)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

Stated  at  cost,  they  are  represented  by  short-term  financial  investments,  plus  yield 
obtained until the closing date of the financial statements and do not exceed market 
value (See note 8); 

B)  CONSUMERS ARE RESELLERS

The balance of consumers and resellers (See Attachment I) is composed of recei-
vables from the electricity sold to final consumers and concessionaires, including 
those stemming from the power traded at the Electricity Commercialization Cham-
ber - CCEE, besides billed and unbilled supply, recorded under the accrual basis.

They also include fines on late payment on the part of consumers, and concession 
and permission holders; 

C)  LOANS AND FINANCING GRANTED 

Granted loans and financing and the respective charges recognized until the ba-
lance sheet date are adjusted according to the monetary and exchange variation 
indexes established in the contracts (See Attachment II);

D)  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS 

Provisions are recognized at amounts considered sufficient by the Company’s mana-
gement to cover possible losses in the realization of receivables (See notes 9, 10, 
13 and 15 and Attachments I and II);

E)  FUEL CONSUMPTION ACCOUNT (CCC)

Under the terms of Law 8,631 of March 04, 1993, Eletrobrás manages the amounts 
paid by holders of public electric power service concessions to be credited against 
the  Fuel  Consumption  Account  (CCC),  corresponding  to  the  annual  share  of  ex-
penditure with fuels for electricity generation. The amounts  recorded in  current 
assets, with a corresponding entry to current liabilities, correspond to the funds 
available kept in a blocked bank account and to the shares unsettled by concession 
holders; 

F)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT  

Property,  plant,  and  equipment  are  demonstrated  at  cost,  adjusted  for  inflation 
until December 31, 1995, in accordance with the Brazilian accounting practices. 
Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method; 

G)  INVESTMENTS

Interests  held  in  controlled  companies  and  jointly-owned  subsidiaries  (See  At-

118

 
Annual Report 2007

tachment III), as well as other investments in related parties with stockholding 
corresponding  to  or  exceeding  20%  of  the  total  capital  of  investees  are  valued 
under the equity method, in compliance with the terms of the Brazilian Corporate 
Law and Instruction CVM 247/96. The balancing entry of the adjustment stemming 
from that valuation is computed in income (loss). Other investments are valuated 
at acquisition cost (See note 19); 

H)  FINANCINGS AND LOANS OBTAINED

Obtained loans and financing and the corresponding charges recognized until the 
balance sheet date are adjusted according to indexes established in the contracts 
and are demonstrated in Attachment V;

I)  GLOBAL REVERSION RESERVE QUOTA - RGR

Drafts made by Eletrobrás in the account of RGR (See note 49) for concession of 
loans and financing to the concession holders are recorded as liabilities. Interest 
of 5% per annum is applied on such drafts, starting from the enactment of Law 
8,631 in March 04, 1993;

J)  COMPULSORY LOAN

It is recorded at principal amount, plus monetary variation, based on the IPCA-E 
index and interest of 6% per year (See note 28); 

L)  INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAX ON NET INCOME 

Corporate Income Tax - IRPJ is calculated under the annual taxable income, at the 
rate of 15% and surtax of 10% on taxable income, as defined by the prevailing tax 
law. Social Contribution Tax on Net Income - CSLL is calculated at the rate of 9% 
on adjusted income under the terms of the applicable law. 

In compliance with CVM Decision 273 of August 20, 1998, and CVM Instruction 
371, of June 27, 2002, deferred tax assets and liabilities, calculated on temporary 
differences, and tax losses carryforwards are recorded in current and noncurrent 
assets and noncurrent liabilities (See notes 14 and 26);

M)  BENEFITS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES

Actuarial obligations related to pension, retirement, and medical assistance plans 
are accrued for according to procedures established by CVM Decision 371/2000. 
That is based on actuarial calculations prepared by independent actuaries in con-
formity with the projected credit unit method, net of the assured assets of the 
plan, and costs referring to the increase at present value of the obligation, resul-
ting from the service provided by the employee, which are recognized along the 
time of service of employees.

The projected credit unit method considers each time of service based on a benefit 

119

Annual Report 2007

unit, measured in the computation of the final obligation. Assumptions are also 
used, such as the estimated evolution of medical assistance costs, biometrics, and 
economic  statistics,  as  well  as  historical  information  of  incurred  expenses  and 
contributions of employees (See note 31);

N)  OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Other  assets  are  recorded  at  their  actual  cost  values,  adjusted  when  applicable 
by provisions to reflect their actual realizable values. They also include earnings 
and possible monetary and exchange variations incurred; liabilities are recorded at 
their known and estimated worth, plus monetary or exchange variations incurred.

O)  DETERMINATION OF RESULT OF OPERATIONS

Revenue and expenses are determined under the accrual basis.

  II –  SPECIFIC PRACTICES OF THE ELECTRIC SECTOR

A)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT IN USE

Property,  plant,  and  equipment  are  demonstrated  at  acquisition  or  construction 
cost, adjusted for inflation until December 31, 1995, in accordance with the ac-
counting practices adopted in Brazil.

Depreciation  is  calculated  under  the  straight-line  method.  Annual  depreciation 
rates are estimated in conformity with Instruction Aneel 44, as of March 17, 1999 
(See note 20 and Attachments IV and IVa.);

B)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT IN CONSTRUCTION

In  accordance  with  the  Accounting  Manual  for  Electricity  Utilities,  interest  and 
other financial charges (monetary and exchange variation), related to loans obtai-
ned with third parties applied in constructions in progress, are recorded as part of 
construction costs.

General management fees are recognized in property, plant, and equipment in construc-
tion. The recognition of direct costs with personnel and third party services is allowed 
based on the criteria established by the Regulating Agency (See note 20 and Attach-
ments IV and IVa);

C)  CONCESSION-LINKED OBLIGATIONS

Obligations are recorded with a corresponding entry to the contributions received 
from  the  Federal  Government  and  consumers,  exclusively  for  investment  in  the 
electricity distribution grid. Obligation are recorded as reducers of property, plant 
and  equipment,  and  at  the  end  of  concession,  offset  against  the  corresponding 
assets, including those acquired with the contributions received from the Gover-

120

Annual Report 2007

nment and from consumers. Public service concession periods are established by 
Aneel (See note 20 and Attachments IV and IVa);

D)  STOREROOM  

Storeroom materials, classified as current assets, are recorded at the average acqui-
sition cost. Those destined to the construction of property, plant, and equipment 
are classified in noncurrent assets, at acquisition cost. Recognized amounts do not 
exceed replacement costs or realizable values;

E)  AMOUNTS STEMMING FROM THE GENERAL ELECTRIC SECTOR AGREEMENT 

In accordance with the provisions of Aneel Decision 72 of February 7, 2002, the 
amounts  referring  to  the  Extraordinary  Tariff  Adjustment  (RTE)  are  presented  in 
the account “Consumers and resellers,” as defined in Decision 91 of the Electricity 
Crisis Management Chamber - GCE, of December 21, 2001 and Law 10,438, of April 
26, 2002 (See note 15); 

F)  OBLIGATIONS ASSUMED FOR THE RELEASE OF ASSETS

As established in the Accounting Manual for Electricity Utilities of Aneel, a provi-
sion is recognized along the useful economic lives of thermonuclear plants with 
the purpose of recognizing the costs to be incurred with their technical-operatio-
nal deactivation to the respective accrual period, at the end of their useful lives.

The amounts recognized to the result of operations are based on annual quotas 
established in American dollars at the ratio of 1/40th of estimated expenditures, 
immediately  recorded  and  translated  according  to  the  exchange  rate  of  the  end 
of  the  accrual  month.  Liabilities  referring  to  the  decommissioning  of  plants  are 
adjusted according to the American dollar variation (See note 33);

G)  STOCKS OF NUCLEAR FUEL

The  uranium  concentrate  in  stock,  the  corresponding  services  and  the  available 
nuclear fuel elements inside the reactor and in the so-called pool destined to the 
elements used, are recorded at acquisition cost.

The consumption of the nuclear fuel elements is recognized to income (loss) of the 
year as they are used in the generation of power (See note 17), and

H)  SCHEDULED STOPS

The costs incurred before and during scheduled stops are initially recorded in Cur-
rent assets. After operations are resumed at the plant, the costs are taken to the 
result of operations in monthly quotas, until the beginning of the next scheduled 
stop.

121

 III -  SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING PRACTICES OF ITAIPU BINACIONAL

In  accounting  for  its  operations,  Itaipu  Binacional  follows  accounting  practices  ge-
nerally accepted in Brazil and Paraguay, with due regard for specific provisions of the 
International Treaty signed by the Brazilian and the Paraguayan governments on April 
26, 1973, which regulates Itaipu Binacional. Below, the main provisions departing from 
accounting practices applicable in Brazil:

a) 

b) 

c) 

Depreciation of facilities is not recorded, as the revenue is calculated based on 
charges on liabilities, not being included in the ”Cost of Electricity Service”, accor-
ding to Attachment C to the Brazil-Paraguay International Treaty;
Retained earnings are not part of the Stockholders’ Equity, being appropriated to 
“Results to be Offset” and reclassified to property, plant and equipment, and
In determining the return on equity capital, the realized profits are not taken into 
consideration, but shown as operating expenses under “Income.”

  IV -  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

On December 28, 2007, Law No. 11,638/07 was enacted, which amended certain pro-
visions of the Brazilian Corporate Law (No. 6,404/76), aiming to coordinate the ac-
counting practices adopted in Brazil with International Financial Reporting Standards 
- IFRS. 

The main changes brought by the mentioned Law, which came into effect starting on 
January 1, 2008, are commented in note 51 and, thus, do not produce effects on these 
financial statements.

a) 

b) 
c) 
d) 

 elimination of the investors’ investments in the investees, with a corresponding 
entry to its interests in the respective stockholders’ equities;
 elimination of intercompany balances receivable and payable;
 elimination of intercompany revenues and expenses, and
 separate identification of the interests held by other stockholders in the equity and 
in results of the consolidated investees.

In view of the non-existence of unrealized income in intercompany operations, the net 
income and shareholders’ equity of the controlling company is the same as the one 
consolidated.

123

 
 
  IV -  Consolidation procedures of the controlling company in relation to Itaipu Bina-

cional 

a) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

 The financial statements of Itaipu Binacional have been prepared in U.S. dollars 
and translated into reais at the exchange rate published by the Central Bank of 
Brazil on December 31, 2007 - US$ 1.00 : R$ 1.7713 (US$ 1.00 : R$ 2.1380 as of 
December 31, 2006);
 The income to offset of Itaipu Binacional was adjusted in the consolidated proper-
ty, plant and equipment;
 The  compensation  on  equity  capital  paid  by  Itaipu  Binacional  was  recorded  as 
income of the controlling company and eliminated in the consolidation, and
 All  income  generated  by  Itaipu  Binacional  in  the  account  “Income  to  offset  of 
Itaipu Binacional.” was eliminated in the consolidation.

For analytical purposes, a summary of the consolidated balance sheet and statement 
of operations excluding the effects of Itaipu Binacional’s proportional consolidation is 
presented below. It is intended to show the influence of Itaipu Binacional’s financial 
statements in the consolidated financial statements of Eletrobrás. Given its specifici-
ties, this information should by no means be construed as representing the consolida-
ted financial statements of Eletrobrás.

NOTE 9 - CONSuMERS AND RESELLERS OF ELECTRICITY

I -  The receivables relating to consumers and resellers are detailed in Attachment I 
to these notes and include the regulatory assets described in item I of note 15.

  II -  Sale of the electricity generated by Itaipu Binacional 

Under Law 10,438 of April 26, 2002, Eletrobrás is responsible for the sale in Brazil of 
the electricity produced by Itaipu Binacional. 

In the year 2007, the equivalent to 82,753 GWh was distributed, with the tariff for 
electricity  supplied  (purchase)  by  Itaipu  at  US$  22.20/kW  and  the  tariff  for  energy 
transfer (sale) at US$ 23.75/kW.

The results of the Itaipu Binacional’s electricity sales, under the terms of Decree 4,550, of 
December 27, 2002, observing the amendments introduced by Decree 6.265, of November 
22, 2007, will be appropriated as follows (See item II, of note 15):

a) 

b) 

if positive, to the Residential and Rural consumers of the National Interconnected 
Power System using up to 350 kWh, through apportionment ratably to the indivi-
dual consumption and credit of bonuses in the electricity bills.
if negative, it is included by Aneel in the calculation of the contracted power tariff 
in the year subsequent to the result formation.

127

 
Annual Report 2007

In the year 2007, the activity was positive by R$ 96,009 thousand, and the respec-
tive obligations were included in the account “Rights to Reimbursement.”

 III –  PROINFA

Sales within the scope of Proinfa generated a positive net income in 2007 of R$250,414 
thousand, not producing effects on Eletrobrás’s net income for the year. The net ba-
lance of the activity is presented in current liabilities and corresponds to R$444,225 
thousand  (R$  193,810  thousand  on  December  31,  2006),  and  is  included  under  the 
caption “Refund Obligations.”

 IV –  Electricity Commercialization Chamber - CCEE

The amounts relating to operations performed in CCEE’s sphere of action are recorded 
based on the information given by CCEE itself.

As a result of those operations in 2007, a net credit of R$ 106,830 thousand was ge-
nerated for Eletrobrás and its controlled companies.

Controlled company Furnas recorded R$ 293,560 thousand of credits relating to dis-
tribution  of  energy  by  the  former  MAE  in  the  period  between  September  2000  and 
September  2002.  The  respective  financial  settlements  have  been  suspended  due  to 
preliminary orders granted in the course of legal actions filed by electricity distribu-
tion concessionaires against Aneel and MAE, presently CCEE. Due to the uncertainty of 
realization, the Company keeps an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, corresponding to 
the full amount of credit taken in the last quarter of 2007.

In accordance with the rules established by the Market Agreement, the resolution of those 
disputes would imply a new recording, and the attendant settlement between the parties 
would occur without CCEE’s intervention. To this end, negotiations were initiated with the 
participation of Aneel, CCEE and the agents involved, in order to solve judicial disputes con-
nected with the accounting process and liquidation, and enable negotiation of a solution for 
those actions. (See note 12 item c).

  V –  Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company set up and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts in accordance with 
rules established by Aneel, based on an analysis of the overdue receivables and past ex-
perience with losses, at an amount deemed sufficient to cover possible losses on any such 
accounts. The balance as of December 31, 2007 corresponded to R$ 1,241,317 thousand 
(R$ 978,517 thousand on December 31, 2006), and had the following composition:

The balance of allowance for doubtful accounts - RTE refers to the provisions set up to 
cover possible losses in the realization of assets recognized referring to loss of reve-
nue, ‘Portion A’ and ‘Free Energy’ (See note 15).

For taxation purposes, the excess of provision recorded, taking into account the provi-
sions of Law 9,430/1996 is added to the Taxable Income for IRPJ - Corporate Income Tax 
- calculation purposes, and to the CSLL – Social Contribution Tax, too.

NOTE 10 - LOANS AND FINANCING GRANTED

Loans and financing receivable refer to Eletrobrás’ own resources, sectorial resources, ex-
ternal funds from development international agencies, financial institutions, and the issuance 
of bonds in the international financial market (See Attachment II). 

All loans and financing are supported by contracts signed with sector companies. Most of 
these amounts are expected to be amortized in monthly installments over an average 10-year 
period, at an average of 8.99% p.a. interest rate, weighted by the debt balance.

Loans and financing granted under foreign-currency-restatement clauses represent nearly 
46% of the total loan portfolio, whereas those based on indexes representing domestic price 
levels account for 27% of the portfolio.

I -  Annual Adjustment Factor applied to the Contracts with Itaipu Binacional

As disclosed in the explanatory note about subsequent events on the Financial Sta-
tements for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as in the significant notice 
published on January 19, 2007 by officials from the Ministries of Foreign Relations and 
the economic and energy area of Brazil and Paraguay, the Brazilian government made a 
commitment to take all necessary measures on an urgent basis, to suppress the annual 
adjustment factor applied to the financing contracts entered into between Itaipu Bina-
cional and Eletrobrás, based on US Industrial Goods and Consumer Price rates.

129

 
Annual Report 2007

The elimination of the annual adjustment factor, in effect starting in the year 2007, 
was made through mechanisms regulated by Law 6,265 of November 22, 2007, which 
preserve the flow of funds to Eletrobrás under the terms of Law 11,480, of May 30, 
2007, and which authorized the renegotiation of credits of Eletrobrás, and the ones of 
the Federal Government with Itaipu Binacional.

Those measures affect the financing contracts granted to Itaipu, whose balance as of 
December  31,  2007  totaled  R$  14,671,171  thousand.  The  amounts  referring  to  the 
annual adjustment factor already recognized were preserved and incorporated to the 
debit balances of the contracts between Eletrobrás and Itaipu Binacional.

Therefore, starting in 2007, the so-called annual adjustment factor no longer is appli-
cable on financing receivable from Itaipu Binacional (See Item II of note 15).

  II -  Eletronorte’s Debt Restructuring

With  the  purpose  of  reestablishing  economic  and  financial  balance  and  obtaining 
terms compatible with Eletronorte’s payment capacity, Eletrobrás’ Board of Directors, 
according to explanatory note about subsequent events on the Financial Statements 
for the year ended December 31, 2006, approved the settlement of that controlled 
company’s debt by converting part of the Eletronorte’s loans and financing debts into 
capital.

Accordingly, the restructuring of Eletronorte’s financing contracts, corresponding to 
R$ 7,621,909 thousand, include the following terms:

a) 

b) 

c) 

d) 

Settlement in kind of R$ 601,510 thousand related to overdue contracts granted 
using RGR funds and foreign currency onlendings; 
Resumption, by the controlled company, of the flow of payments starting in 2007, 
with a grace period of one year for principal installments for contracts granted 
using RGR funds, and with no grace period for foreign currency onlendings; 
Conversion  of  part  of  the  outstanding  balance  of  overdue  and  falling  due  fi-
nancing contracts, granted using Eletrobrás own resources, into an advance for 
future increase in capital, at an amount of R$ 1,213,233 thousand, and
Refinancing of past due installments, corresponding to R$ 1,950,476 thousand, 
with a grace period of one year to start repaying the principal. The other finan-
cial terms originally agreed remain the same, such as maturity and charges.

Loans and financing granted by Eletrobrás, including interest, commissions, and 
rates, are detailed in Attachment II, and already consider that negotiation.

 III –  Receivables of AES-Eletropaulo – Lawsuit

In 1989, Eletrobrás filed a collection action against Eletropaulo, aiming to receive 
credits from financing not settled at the respective maturities, according to criteria 
and conditions established in the contract clauses.

A decision was rendered in April 1999, whereby Eletropaulo was condemned to pay 
the unsettled financed amount. Subsequently, a final and unappealable decision was 
rendered, meaning that Eletropaulo did not file any appeal against the lower court 
decision. Therefore, an action for the execution of the sentence establishing payment 
was filed by Eletrobrás at the 5th Civil Court of Rio de Janeiro. 

However, in January 1998, there was a partial spin-off of the assets of Eletropaulo, 
giving rise to three different companies - Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia 
S.A. (Emae), Empresa Paulista de Transmissão de Energia  S.A. (EPTE ) and Empresa 
Brasileira de Energia  S.A. (EBE). Eletropaulo - Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A., had its 
name changed to Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A.

Eletropaulo challenged the legitimacy of the Partial Spin-off Agreement, which was 
dismissed and the continuation of the execution ordered. In December 2003, Eletro-
paulo filed an interlocutory appeal, requesting the suspension of effects against the 
decision determining the execution. It was granted due to the understanding that 
Eletropaulo would not be legitimate to bear the execution, but CTEEP – Companhia 
de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (the former EPTE), due to the effects of 
the mentioned partial spin-off agreement.

Extraordinary  and  Special  appeals  were  filed  by  Eletrobrás  discussing  the  decision 
about  the  appeal  of  Eletropaulo,  being  granted  in  the  sense  that  the  execution 
should continue and that the defense of Eletropaulo should be challenged through 
motion to stay collection filed by the debtor and not through a plea of lack of ju-
risdiction. Eletropaulo filed a motion for clarification of judgment, a special appeal 
according to specific court regulations and finally a request for resolution of conflict 
in decision. A final decision was rendered in November 2007, denying all the Appeals 
of Eletropaulo. After exhausting all possibility of success before the Superior Court of 
Justice - STJ, Eletropaulo presented an extraordinary appeal to the Supreme Federal 
Court - STF, which is about to be examined by one of the panel of judges.

In view of that scenario, the management of Eletrobrás will go ahead with the exe-
cution and, supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, considers the realization 
of the credit as practically certain. 

131

As of December 31, 2007, such credits corresponded to a book value of R$ 372,748 
thousand,  considering  the  original  clauses  of  the  contract  with  Eletropaulo,  which 
adjusted  according  to  the  indexes  practiced  by  the  justice,  reach  the  amount  of 
R$1,329,545 thousand. 

The Company’s management, in a conservative posture, did not record the adjustment 
portion based on criteria different from those agreed upon in the contracts, opting 
to wait for the execution.

 IV –  Allowance for Doubtful Account

The Company conservatively maintains a provision for doubtful accounts referring to 
the principal and debt service of several delinquent other companies in the amount 
of R$ 80,630 thousand (R$ 51,629 thousand on December 31, 2006).

These allowances are deemed sufficient by the Company’s management to cover pos-
sible losses on any such accounts, based on analyses of the portfolio.

NOTE 11 - RETuRN ON INvESTMENTS 

This refers to dividends and interest on equity capital, net from Withholding Income Tax, 

arising from investments of permanent nature held by Eletrobrás and breakdowns as follows:

Annual Report 2007

The rescheduled receivables are formalized through agreements stipulating repayment of 
accumulated debt in installments and interest rates and monetary restatement, as well as the 
term for amortization of the principal and charges. The Company deems all these receivables 
recoverable, the following being worth mentioning:

a)  Receivables arising from Electricity passed on to CEB

Eletrobrás has receivables from CEB arising from sale by Furnas of electricity generated 
by Itaipu Binacional, which have been subrogated since January 2003. In that year, 
these receivables were rescheduled due to default on the part of Distrito Federal-based 
CEB in the amount of R$ 163,892 thousand. Through the rescheduling, among other 
things, the repayment of overdue debt by the end of 2008 (i.e., in 60 months’ time) is 
stipulated, with SELIC-rate based restatement and collaterals, through direct transfer 
to Eletrobrás by the financial institution working for CEB of 4% of the latter’s gross 
monthly sales.

The amount receivable as of December 31, 2007 was R$ 54,347 thousand (R$ 99,079 
thousand on December 31, 2006).

Furnas also rescheduled receivables from CEB, in the amount of R$ 191,129 thousand, 
referring to its own energy, payable in 144 monthly installments beginning in August 
2003, each installment corresponding to 3% of its gross sales, with the possibility of 
automatic extension to the date of the final payment. The unpaid balance as of De-
cember 31, 2207 in the amount of R$ 218,828 thousand (R$ 210,373 on December 31, 
2006) is subject to restatement based on the variation of IGP-M, plus interest of 1% 
p.m. Part of these credit rights in the amount of R$ 162,000 thousand was assigned to 
the FIDC – Credit Rights Investment Fund – Furnas II (See note 23).

  b)  Receivables arising from Electricity passed on to CEB

CEB II - Through a private Instrument for Acknowledgment of Debt executed on June 
1, 2006 between Furnas and CEB Distribuição, it was greed a new period for payment 
of the invoices falling due in the months of June to October 2006, whose payments 
should be originally made on the 5th, 15th and 25th days of the respective months. 
Those invoices were linked to the acquisition of electricity as determined by Contracts 
CCEAR’s 279 and 662/2004. The debt will be settled according to the following con-
ditions:

1)  Estimated amortization period of 24 months;
2)  Adjustment of debit balance by the application of the average annual Selic rate on 

a pro rat basis, plus interest of 1.8% p.a.;

3)  Until the settlement of the total debt, the parties agreed that the amounts that 

134

 
Annual Report 2007

Furnas may have to pay to CEB Distribuição could be used to offset the debt until 
the debit balance limit;

4)  The default in any other commitment undertaken with Furnas exceeding a period of 
10 days during the term of the instrument, will imply in the immediate collection 
of the overdue portions, regardless of previous communication.

5)  Overdue amounts (monetarily restated according to the variation of the IPCA index 

of the month preceding the default) should be added of the following:

1.a) fine of 2%, and
1.b) interest on late payment of 1% per month, on a pro rata basis.

c)  Receivables from electricity passed on to Celg

In 2003, Eletrobrás rescheduled with Celg the receivables arising from Itaipu Binacional’s 
pass-on of energy to Celg and subrogated by Furnas to Eletrobrás, in the amount of R$ 
392,021 thousand. The terms of the rescheduling establish the realization of those recei-
vables by direct transfer by the financial institution who collects Celg’s bills, of 3.34% of 
the latter’s gross monthly sales. The period for the payment is 216 months from January 
2004 on and with the debt balance subject to restatement based on the U.S. dollar va-
riation against the real. 

The amount receivable as of December 31, 2007 corresponded to R$ 223,853 thousand 
(R$ 306,398 thousand on December 31, 2006), from which R$ 175,636 thousand was 
recorded under noncurrent assets (R$ 257,899 thousand on December 31, 2006). 

In  a  similar  way,  in  December  2003  the  controlled  company  Furnas  rescheduled  R$ 
378,938 thousand, referring to own energy credits, payable in 216 months and subject to 
monthly restatement based on the IGP-M variation and bearing interest at 1% p.m. The 
monthly payment corresponds to 2.56% of Celg’s gross sales, with guarantee supported 
by a blocked bank account. The debt balance as of December 31, 2007, was R$ 324,738 
thousand (R$ 350,147 thousand on December 31, 2006). Part of these credit rights in 
the amount of R$ 258,000 thousand was assigned to the FIDC – Credit Rights Investment 
Fund – Furnas II (See note 23).

  d)  Receivables arising from sale in the CCEE’s sphere of action

In  August  2005,  the  controlled  company  Furnas  rescheduled  Cemig’s  debt,  in  the 
amount  of  R$62,308  thousand,  relating  to  free  energy  sold  in  the  CCEE’s  sphere  of 
action in the period from September 2000 through September 2002, corresponding to 
the Emergency Power Saving Program period. The rescheduled receivable amounts to R$ 
72,083 thousand, and will be repaid in 50 monthly installments restated based on the 
Selic rate plus interest at 1% p.a.

135

 
Annual Report 2007

e)  Rollover of States’ debts

In accordance with the Public Sector Financial Recovery Program implemented by Law 
No 8,727/93, Furnas entered into a receivables assignment agreement with the Federal 
Government in order to refinance Celg’s power purchase debt existing at that time, which 
have been paid in 240 monthly installments since April 1994. Receivables are restated 
by the IGP-M at 11% p.a., and amounted to R$ 527,027 thousand as of December 31, 
2007, (R$ 506,623 thousand on December 31, 2006), from which R$ 438,455 thousand 
was recognized under noncurrent assets (R$ 432,617 thousand on December 31, 2006). 
Part of these credit rights corresponding to R$ 228,000 thousand was assigned to the 
FIDC – Credit Rights Investment Fund – Furnas II (See note 23).

Also, the controlled company Eletrosul had receivables amounting to R$626,846 thou-
sand as of December 31, 2007 (R$ 588,125 thousand on December 31, 2006), against 
the Federal Government, which are restated by the IGP-M, bearing interest of 12.68% 
p.a., arising from the assumption of the controlled company’s rights against the state-
controlled electricity concessionaires, which have been realized since April 1994, in 240 
monthly installments. 

In accordance with the legislation in force, should any receivable balance still remain 
after the 20-year period has elapsed, the repayment may be extended for another 10 
years.

Such hypothesis is foreseen, since the Federal Government only passes on the resources 
actually received from the States, which are legally limited to the commitment of the 
revenues.

f)  Assignment of receivables – FEDERAL TREASURY 

In  1998,  Eletrobrás  assigned  to  the  Federal  Government,  part  of  its  receivables  from 
Itaipu Binacional, in the equivalent to US$ 10,756,524 thousand, or 65.47% of the total 
receivables from that jointly-controlled company, with the attendant settlement of debts 
in the same amount.

As a consequence, a direct payment flow was set between Itaipu Binacional and the Fe-
deral Treasury, in a compatible manner with maturities of medium- and long-term debts 
– “DMLP”, incurred by the Federal Government in that year. Given the need to adjust the 
said payment flow, the installments paid by Itaipu Binacional to the Federal Government 
do not actually keep the proportion to the receivables assigned. As a consequence, the 
Federal Government must receive, up to 2007, monthly amounts greater than their share 
in the receivables assigned. This condition will be reversed after 2008, when due to the 
repayment of a substantial part of said “DMLP”, the Federal Government will be then en-
titled to smaller amounts than the 65.47%, in favor of Eletrobrás. Starting in 2016, the 
proportion will reach an equal balance.

136

 
 
Annual Report 2007

Consequently, Eletrobrás records the difference between receivables appropriated under 
the accrual basis and those actually received as noncurrent assets at the amount of R$ 
2,965,275 thousand on December 31, 2007 (or US$ 1,674,068 thousand). 

As a result of the renegotiation of the receivables of Eletrobrás with Itaipu Binacional, 
executed under the provisions of Law 11,480 of May 30, 2007, such rights were incorpo-
rated to the debit balances of financing contracts with Itaipu Binacional, respecting the 
payment flow projected. Amounts paid until then, recorded in the account “Rescheduled 
receivables” were transferred to the account Loans and Financing in Current and Noncur-
rent Assets. 

The details about loans and financing granted by Eletrobrás, presented in Attachment II, 
already contemplate the effects of the addition of those receivables.

Deferred tax credits refer to temporary differences in IRPJ and CSLL tax bases, and will be 

used as these differences are realized.

Considering the Company’s profitability record and the expected taxable income genera-
tion in next years, the recognition of those assets depends on the realization of the recorded 
deferred tax credits, identified with analyses of future trends, and based on technical studies 
about internal assumptions, economic, commercial, and tax future scenarios.  

Given the nature of tax credits, their realization is expected for the next five to eight ye-

ars, when triggered by the taxable events.

Unconstitutionality of PIS/Pasep and Cofins - The Supreme Court declared unconstitutional 
the section 1, art. 3 of Law 9,718/98, which expanded the PIS/Pasep and Cofins tax bases, 
and renewed the billing concept so it now encompasses all revenues earned by legal entities, 
regardless of the type of activity carried out and the accounting classification adopted.  That 
provision had no legal supporting basis, which is why it was subsequently amended.

141

     
Annual Report 2007

Based  on  the  CTN,  Brazilian  Tributary  Code,  the  Eletrobrás  System’s  companies  filed  an 
appeal claiming for recognition of the right to, and actual reimbursement of the amount paid 
in excess, because the expansion of PIS/Pasep and Cofins tax bases is unconstitutional. To the 
date of completion of these financial statements, the claims had not been judged. 

The  Eletrobrás  System’s  companies  hold  potential  PIS/Pasep  and  Cofins  credits  waiting 
for a decision, and therefore, not recognized on these Financial Statements, given that the 
decision on the unconstitutionality of the matter only benefits the companies whose appeals 
have already been judged.

NOTE 15 - REGuLATORY ASSETS 

I -  General Agreement for the Electricity Sector

In 2001, the Brazilian electricity sector was subjected to an Emergency Electricity Con-
sumption Reduction Program, with the Federal Government forming the Electricity Cri-
sis Management Chamber to manage demand adjustment programs, coordinate actions 
to  increase  energy  supply,  and  implement  emergency  measures  during  the  rationing 
period which lasted from June 1, 2001 to February 28, 2002. 

Under Law 10,438/2002, which put into practice the legal instruments for implementa-
tion of the General Electric Sector Agreement due to the Reduction Program, Aneel was 
authorized to implement the RTE – Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment, with the objective 
of standing up to the financial impact on the Brazilian Interconnected Electric System, 
then under the effect of the said program.

In that scenario, electricity generating companies recognized credits related to ‘free 
energy’, revenue loss and ‘Portion A’, realizable under the terms of the General Agree-
ment for the Electricity Sector, through Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment (RTE) and col-
lected from final consumers, with variable maturities defined by Aneel for the different 
distributors.

In compliance with Circular Letter Aneel 2.409, of December 14, 2007, the Company 
recognized  losses  stemming  from  ‘free  energy’  not  billed  by  distributors  within  the 
period established in the regulations, corresponding to R$ 599,822 thousand. That is 
recorded in the account “Losses in the recovery of assets” in the group of operating 
expenses, which was fully accrued for until the fourth quarter of 2007.

The corresponding obligations of the same type were written-off, at an amount of R$ 
300,136 thousand, and recorded in the account “Gains on reduction in liabilities” in 
the group of operating revenues, also fully accrued for. The net effect of the loss with 
the ‘free energy’ was R$ 299,686 thousand.

142

 
Annual Report 2007

Existing  provisions  were  reversed,  not  producing  effects  on  result  of  operations  in 
2007.

The net residual amounts deriving from the General Electric Sector Agreement which 
were recorded as regulatory assets can be seen under “Consumers and Resellers” (See 
Attachment I) as follows:

RTE – Portion A, Free Energy and loss or revenue

   Balance as of December 31, 2006

Under the terms of the mentioned Circular Letter Aneel 2.409/2007, the realizable ba-
lance  corresponding  to  ‘free  energy’,  net  of  losses  already  recognized,  is  R$  526,702 
thousand  (R$1,413,803  thousand  on  December  31,  2006)  and  will  receive  the  same 
treatment in case it is not realized within the established periods, whose maturities will 
occur mostly until the year 2009. 

In accordance with the terms of the same Circular Letter of Aneel, and supported by 
studies the management prepared, the Company has set up an allowance for doubtful 
accounts of R$257,430 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2007. Therefore, the total 
allowance amounts to R$ 309,732 thousand (R$ 351,988 thousand on December 31, 
2006), deemed sufficient to cover possible losses that may occur until the end of the 
realization period.

The controlled company Furnas has assigned to the Credit Rights Investment Fund (FIDC) 
– Furnas I an amount of R$ 126,000 thousand (See note 23) related to RTE.

Annual Report 2007

  II –  Receivables from the commercialization of electricity generated at Itaipu Bina-

cional

As of May 30, 2007, Law 11,480 was enacted, which authorized Eletrobrás to negotiate 
the elimination of the adjustment factor from the financing contracts entered into with 
Itaipu Binacional and the assignment of credits with the National Treasury starting in 
2007.

Article 1 of the mentioned Law establishes that it is assured to Eletrobrás to keep the 
full flow or amounts received associated with the elimination of the adjustment factor 
from the financing contracts.

Besides, Decree 6.265 of November 22, 2007 was also passed, with the objective of 
regulating the commercialization of electricity of Itaipu Binacional, defining the di-
fferent  rate  to  be  applied  to  the  energy  transfer  tariff,  creating  a  regulatory  asset, 
corresponding to an annual factor taken from financing to be annually included in the 
tariff for transfer of energy starting in 2008.

Article 6 of the mentioned Law authorized Eletrobrás to include the difference refer-
ring to the elimination of the annual adjustment factor to the energy transfer tariff 
of power from Itaipu Binacional, whose values should be annually defined through an 
Interministry  ordinance  of  the  Finance  Ministry  and  Ministry  of  Mining  and  Energy. 
The  energy  transfer  tariff  in  effect  in  2008  includes  an  amount  of  R$  65,196  thou-
sand, (or US$36,807 thousand), and was approved by Interministry ordinance MME/
MF 318/2007.

In relation to that, in 2007, the Company recognized a regulatory asset presented under 
the caption “Rights to reimbursement” in Noncurrent assets, arising from the commer-
cialization of the electricity of Itaipu Binacional at an amount of R$ 590,025 thousand, 
(US$ 333,103 thousand), established by Interministry ordinance MME/MF 318/2007 of 
December 17, 2007. From that amount, R$ 302,279 thousand, (US$ 170,654 thousand), 
will be transferred to the National Treasury until 2023. Such amounts will be realized by 
means of inclusion to the energy transfer tariff, to be implemented until 2023.

Therefore, the loss of financial revenue of Eletrobrás caused by the elimination of the 
adjustment factor from financing contracts executed with Itaipu Binacional was offset 
by its addition to the energy transfer tariff, not generating losses to the Company. 

The  method  for  determination  of  the  regulatory  asset  was  defined  by  Interministry 
ordinance MME/MF 313/2007 of December 11, 2007

NOTE 16 - STuDIES AND PROJECTS

These mainly refer to costs incurred by the Company on feasibility studies focusing the use 
of hydrographical basins and transmission lines, for construction of new hydroelectric plants 
and transmission systems.

Among  these,  the  study  of  Rio  Uruguay  basin’s  use,  conducted  in  accordance  with  the 
Argentina-Brazil International Treaty for implementation of the Garabi Plant, is worth mentio-
ning. The costs incurred thereon until December 31, 2007, at the amount of R$ 30,921 thou-
sand (R$ 30,921 thousand - December 31, 2006), are deemed recoverable by the Company’s 
management. 

Studies and projects also comprise costs incurred from several other studies and projects 
aiming  the  use  of  hydrographical  resources,  specially  the  ones  for  the  rivers  Madeira  and 
Xingu. According to Article 45 of Law no. 8,987/95, the transfer will be indemnified by the 
Grantor  Federal  Government  with  resources  obtained  on  the  bid  for  concessions  to  exploit 
these resources.

 We show below the amount of studies and projects costs, including those referring to the 

concessions to be bid for, net of the adjustment to reflect its probable realizable value:

NOTE 17 –  NuCLEAR FuEL INvENTORIES

The nuclear fuel used in Angra 1 and Angra 2 plants comprises elements produced with 

metal alloys and uranium. 

In this initial stage, the uranium concentrate, and the services required for its production 
are  classified  as  long-term  assets,  and  recorded  under  Nuclear  Fuel  Inventories.  After  the 
production process is finished, the portion to be consumed during the following 12 months is 
classified as current assets. 

The monthly amortization in operational expenses is done proportionally, taking into ac-
count the energy actually generated monthly, in comparison to the total energy calculated 
for each fuel element. Periodically, inventories and assessments of the nuclear fuel elements, 
which have been through the process of generation of electricity and are stored at the spent 
fuel pool, are performed.

Nuclear fuel inventories, as of December 31, 2007, destined to the operation of UTNs An-

gra 1 and Angra 2 were as follows:

s) Eletronet – The controlled companies Furnas, Chesf, Eletrosul, and Eletronorte started 
operating the transmission of information signals, using part of their electricity transmission 
infrastructure,  with  intermediation  of  the  controlled  company  Lightpar,  in  a  joint  venture 
with private companies, where it holds minority interest in the capital stock of Eletronet, a 
company formed specifically for rendering feasible the business of providing transmission for 
information signals and telecommunication services.

Since September 2002 Lightpar assumed the management of Eletronet, due to default on 
part of capital contribution on the part of the majority stockholder AES Bandeirante Empreen-
dimentos Ltda. in contributing with the value of monetary restatement referring to the fourth 
portion of capital stock.

The administrative council of Eletronet, during an extraordinary meeting held on March 
18, 2003 and concluded on March 27, 2003, decided to declare it bankrupted, as all possible 
other measures to reach a final solution had been exhausted. During the same meeting, an 
extraordinary meeting of stockholders was called for discussion of the matter.

The  declaration  of  bankruptcy  was  approved  in  the  extraordinary  meeting  at  Eletronet, 
held on April 24, 2003, which authorized the managers to take all applicable legal measures.
On May 16, 2003, Eletronet, represented by its managing partners, requested the filing 
of the its statement of bankruptcy with the Judiciary, together with a preliminary request to 
continue in business. The 5th Business Bankruptcy Court declared the bankruptcy under the 
requested manner. In that condition, Eletronet continued its operations under the manage-

153

Annual Report 2007

ment of the Judiciary, and still has appeals filed with the Superior Court of Justice  pending 
judgment.

 As of June 2007, Lightpar along with Bankrupt Eletronet was notified by Chesf, Eletro-
norte, Eletrosul, and Furnas, called assignor companies, about the termination of the contract 
granting right of access and use of cables and infrastructure signed with Lightpar in June 1999 
and its respective amendments. The referred contract allows the transfer to Eletronet, as well 
as the reimbursement of Lightpar of 50% of the cost incurred by the latter in the management 
of the communication structure. We point out, however, that such termination does not can-
cel the rights of receiving the credits corresponding to the due reimbursements payable and 
collectible until December 31, 2006. 

Based on contract clauses, the assignor companies claim the following out of the court: 
a)  to regain possession of the assets comprising the implemented infrastructure for the 

rendering of telecommunications services; 
b)  the right to claim the optical cables; and 
c)  determining the maintenance of the essential services to the national integrated elec-
tricity  transmission  system,  as  well  as  the  continuance  of  the  services  rendered  by 
Eletronet employees. 

On the same date, the assignor companies filed an injunction at the 5th Business Lower 
Court of Rio de Janeiro about the issue mentioned above, which was granted, on January 14, 
2008, and which still waits for the deposit in the checking account of Eletronet’s bankrupt 
estate of the amount of R$ 380,000 thousand, determined according to the report drawn up 
by  an expert. 

In view of that decision, the assignor companies and LT Bandeirantes Empreendimentos 
Ltda (partner of Lightpar in Eletronet) and the bankrupt estate of Eletronet S.A. filed Inter-
locutory appeal against interim decision. Neither an interim relief nor a stay of proceedings 
was granted in any of the cases.

  b)  Tax debt refinancing program - PAES 

In July 2004, Furnas opted for the Special Tax debt refinancing program (PAES), refi-
nancing the amount of R$968,789 thousand referring to Pasep, Cofins, ITR, IRPJ and 
CSLL..  The  amount  to  be  paid  to  Federal  Revenue  Service  (SRF)  represents  1.5%  of 
monthly sales, payable in up to 180 months and with the debit balance restated based 
on the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP).

Annual Report 2007

The debt payable under PAES as of December 31, 2007 is as follows:

The present value of the debt, to be settled at a monthly rate of 1.5% of gross revenue, 
limited to the remaining amount of installments, is R$ 756,975 thousand. The follo-
wing assumptions were used in the estimation:
1. 

the revenue was projected based on the amount billed until December 2007, ad-
justed by the annual average inflation rate, calculated at 4.5%. 
the present debt value was obtained by discounting the flow of payments adjus-
ted by the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP) of 6% p.a. and discounted at the rate 
of 11% p.a. Those rates are compatible with the ones of the described economic 
scenario.

2. 

In  the  same  way,  in  2003  Eletronorte  joined  the  PAES,  in  order  to  regularize  debts 
with the Federal Revenue and INSS. This debt balance, as of  December 31, 2007 is as 
follows:

Also in the same way, in August 2003, due to unfavorable decisions arising from the 
lawsuit involving Pasep and Cofins on revenue from Itaipu’s energy sales, judged by 
the 4th. Region Federal Regional Court, Eletrosul opted for paying this liability under 
the PAES through an installment plan, whose balance, as of December 31, 2007 was R$ 
230,088 thousand (R$ 241,539 thousand on December 31, 2006).

In 2004, the controlled company Eletronorte was the outbidder in the electricity auc-
tion  organized by Albrás for the sale of electricity to be supplied for a 20-year, equi-
valent to 750 MW on average per month until December 2006 and 800 MW on average 

163

 
Annual Report 2007

per month from January 2007 to December 2024. Albrás set a parameter for agreeing 
on a minimum price compatible with the UHE Tucuruí’s balanced tariff, plus a premium 
calculated based on the aluminum price in London’s commodities exchange.

Under these conditions, Albrás made an energy purchase pre-offer, with a view to redu-
cing the base price. The prepayment for this offer is constituted by energy credits for 
amortization over the supply period, in fixed monthly installments in medium MW, at 
the tariff ruling on the month of sale.

  II -  Proinfa

Established by Law 10,438/2002 and its amendments, Proinfa’s purpose is the diversifi-
cation of the Brazilian energetic matrix and the search for regional solutions based on 
renewable electricity sources, available input and the applicable technology, given the 
increased participation in electricity production from those sources.

The program guarantees to Eletrobrás the purchase of the energy to be produced for a 
period of 20 years from 2006. This energy will be transferred to distribution conces-
sionaires, free consumers and self-producers, excluding low-income consumers, in the 
proportion of its use.

Distribution and transmission concessionaries pay Eletrobrás the annual value of the 
costing quota corresponding to the participation of captive and free consumers and 

164

Annual Report 2007

self-producers connected to its electricity facilities in twelfth parts, in the month prior 
to the month when energy consumption is properly recognized.

In addition to the regular payments of the current year quotas to Proinfa generators, 
distribution and transmission concessionaires advanced the payment of one twelfth of 
the annual quota, considering the total contracting of all projects carried out under 
Proinfa. 

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2007, the Company had an amount of  R$ 202,250 
thousand (R$ 102,387 thousand on December 31, 2006), which will be demanded as 
Proinfa develops and the corresponding electric power is supplied.

NOTE 28 – COMPuLSORY LOAN

The Compulsory Loan, instituted by Law 4,156/62 to fund the expansion of the Brazilian 
electricity sector, was extinguished by Law 7,181 of December 20, 1983, which established 
the end of the collection term for December 31, 1993. 

In the first phase of that compulsory loan, ended with enactment of Law 1,512/76, that 
levying reached several classes of energy consumers and taxpayers’ credits were represented 
by Bearer Bonds that Eletrobrás issued.

In a second moment, after the enactment of the cited Law, the compulsory loan started being 
paid only by industries with monthly consumption exceeding 2,000 kWh and taxpayers’ credits 
no longer were represented by bearer bonds, which Eletrobrás simply started recognizing.

The remaining credits of the Compulsory Loan, after the third conversion into capital, in 
April 2005, of the credits constituted from 1988 to 2004, are recorded as current and non-
current  liabilities  maturing  as  from  2008  and  continue  to  be  remunerated  at  6%  p.a.  plus 
monetary restatement based on the Extended Consumer Price Index (IPCA-E) variation. These 
funds amounted to R$ 299,084 thousand as of December 31, 2007, (R$ 134,976 thousand 
on December 31, 2006), of which R$ 202,375 thousand is recorded as noncurrent (R$ 23,870 
thousand on December 31, 2006).

The  Bearer  Bonds  issued  in  the  first  phase  of  the  compulsory  loan,  as  decided  by  the 
Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), should not be confused with debentu-
res.  Besides, as provided by article 4, paragraph 11 of Law 4,156/62 and article 1 of Decree 
20.910/32, they are unenforceable, a condition confirmed by Notice 344 of the Superior Court 
of Justice (STJ), which established that those bonds cannot be used as guarantee of execu-
tions for not having liquidity and not being debentures. 

Therefore, the balance of the Compulsory Loan refers solely to the 1988 – 1994 period 
residual credits held by industrial consumers with consumption above 2,000 kWh, that is, the 
second phase of that compulsory loan,  as well as to the unclaimed interest related to those 
credits, as follows:

Therefore,  Eletrobrás  recorded  an  amount  of  R$  703,486  thousand  as  compensation  to 
stockholders and interest on equity capital referring to the year 2007, which was added to the 
minimum obligatory dividend in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Under prevailing tax legislation, withholding income tax is levied at the rate of 15% on 

the remuneration proposed to stockholders as interest on equity capital.

Stockholders’  compensation  for  the  year  2007  corresponds  to  47.84%  of  adjusted  net 
income under the terms of Law 6,404/76 (2006 – 41.65%) and will be restated based on the 
Selic rate, established by the Brazilian Central Bank, according to the terms of Decree 2.673 of 
July 16, 1998 that regulates the payment on the part of federal state companies of dividends 
or interest on equity capital.

The adjustment is applicable for the period starting on January 01, 2008 to the date where 
it is started the payment of the compensation. Such date will be decided during a general 
ordinary meet, where the financial statements will be analyzed and the proposed destination 
for income of the year established. There will be the levying of Withholding Income Tax at the 
rate of 20% on the portion referring to the monetary restatement according to SElic. 

In compliance with CVM Decision 207/96, and to meet tax standards, Eletrobrás accoun-
ted for that interest against financial expenses, taking them to a specific account, opting to 
not present them in the statement of operations to not produce an effect on the income of 
the year, but only the effects recognized in the accounts of social contribution and income 
taxes.

 Under the decision of the 47th ordinary general meeting, held on April 30, 2007, the pay-
ment of the compensation to stockholders related to the year 2006, in the form of dividends, 
started on June 15, 2007 for the stockholders registered as of May 2, 2007, paid as follows

NOTE 31 – COMPLEMENTARY PENSION FuNDS
  I –  PARENT COMPANY

Eletrobrás sponsors Eletros, a pension plan fund with its own equity segregated from 
that of the sponsor. The objective of Eletros is to manage a pension plan for supple-
menting the retirement and pension benefits of the sponsor’s employees who enroll.

Eletros manages two benefit plans sponsored by Eletrobrás, detailed as follows:

1. 

Defined benefit plan
It supplements the actual average salary of recent working years in relation to the 
pension provided by the Brazilian social security system, and it finished the last 
three years with a technical surplus. This plan is closed for new participants since 
April 01, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, that such plan had 480 active partici-
pants, 1,186 retired ones, and 261 pensioners. Eletros calculates the mathematical 
reserves  of  this  plan  using  a  capitalization  actuarial  system,  which  is  reviewed 
annually.

Eletrobrás makes monthly contributions jointly to participants, which are charged 
as administrative expenses. These amounted to R$ 10,331 thousand as of Decem-
ber 31, 2007 (R$ 11,933 thousand on December 31, 2006).

168

Annual Report 2007

The contribution rates are as follows:

4,08%  - up to half the maximum Social Security contribution;
8,16%  - from half the maximum to the maximum Social Security contribution;
17,13% - from the maximum to three times as much the maximum social secu-

rity contribution, and

24,48% - more than three times the maximum Social Security contribution, for 

participants subjected to previous regulations.

In  accordance  with  the  technical  pronouncement  issued  by  Ibracon  –  Brazilian 
Institute  of  Independent  Auditors  and  approved  by  CVM  Resolution  No.  371,  of 
December 13, 2000, which establishes the method to be adopted by the sponsors 
in accounting for the benefits granted to employees, the management of Eletro-
brás performs, on an annual basis, an actuarial revaluation of the benefit plan it 
sponsors and the required actuarial liability coverage, for which the Company is 
responsible, identified in the report prepared by an independent actuary based on 
the projected credit unit.

The actuarial valuation executed as of December 31, 2007 demonstrated that the fair 
value of benefit plans exceeds the present value of actuarial obligations, as follows:

Annual Report 2007

Actuarial  calculations  involve  projections  of  future  actuarial  assumptions,  such 
as salaries, interest rates (nominal and effective), inflation, mortality, disability, 
and others. Actuarial results obtained from those assumptions cannot be analyzed 
without the previous knowledge of the scenario used in the evaluation.

The economic actuarial assumptions used were established considering the long-
term period projected for their maturity, and, thus, should be analyzed under that 
perspective. As a consequence, in the short-term period, they may be not neces-
sarily realizable.

For  purposes  of  the  actuarial  revaluation  made  pursuant  to  CVM  Decision  No. 
371/00, the following assumptions were used:

  2 –  Defined contribution pension plan

In 2006, participants of Eletros’ defined benefit plan started to be migrated to a new 
defined contribution pension plan sponsored by Eletrobrás. Part of those participants 
that have already migrated to the new plan opted to maintain their entitlement to a 
defined benefit partially or totally. The process mentioned here will continue until June 
28, 2008.

170

Annual Report 2007

As of December 31, 2007, the plan had 142 active participants and 11 retired ones.

The contribution rates for the defined contribution plan are as follows:

up to 10 Plan Adjustable Units – URP

  II –  CONSOLIDATED

Besides Eletros, which is sponsored by Eletrobrás, the controlled companies of Eletro-
brás sponsor their own pension funds organized in a similar way, with the objective of 
supplementing their employees’ retirement and pension benefits through benefit and 
contribution plans. Below, a list of these funds:

Contributions, which are charged to administrative expenses totaled R$ 222,646 thou-
sand as of December 31, 2007 (R$ 310,864 thousand on December 31, 2006 ).

In accordance with the plan’s regulations and Ibracon’s technical pronouncement ap-
proved by CVM Deliberation no. 371/2000, the companies perform an actuarial evalu-
ation of their obligations arising from supplementary benefits granted to employees, 
the need for coverage of which is reflected in the financial statements corresponding 
to R$ 982,135 thousand, thus divided: R$183,512 thousand under the current liability 
portion (R$ 338,355 thousand on December 31, 2006) and R$ 798,623 thousand as the 
noncurrent portion (R$1,992,061 thousand on December 31, 2006), under the caption 
Supplementary pension plans.

In  the  year  2007,  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  established  by  decision  CVM 
371/2000, the results of the actuarial evaluations of the Complementary Pension Plans 
of Eletrobrás presented a surplus of R$ 1,224,384 thousand, recorded as a reducer of 
actuarial obligations, as follows:

There are several lawsuits, mainly labor and civil suits, at different trial stages against Ele-
trobrás and its controlled companies. According to resolution 489 from October 03, 2005, of 
the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the Company’s management adopts the procedure 
of classifying the lawsuits against the Company according to the risk of loss, based on the 
opinion of its legal counselors, as follows:

•	

•	

•	

 For lawsuits for which an unfavorable outcome is considered as probable, provisions are 
set up;
 For  lawsuits  for  which  an  unfavorable  outcome  is  considered  as  possible,  the  related 
information is disclosed in Notes to the financial statements, and
 For  lawsuits  for  which  an  unfavorable  outcome  is  considered  as  remote,  only  the  in-
formation  deemed  relevant  by  management  is  disclosed  in  the  Notes  to  the  financial 
statements.

Accordingly, provisions for the contingencies mentioned above have been set up. Accor-
ding to the Company’s management and its legal counselors, those provisions, net of escrow 

173

deposits, are deemed sufficient to cover for losses from lawsuits of different nature. In the 
year, they developed as follows:

I -  Lawsuits against the Company

1. 

Civil lawsuits 
1.a) Parent Company:

a) 

The Company’s provision for civil contingencies, in the amount of R$ 1,328,244 
thousand (R$ 1,328,244 thousand on December 31, 2006), refers to Compul-
sory Loan-related lawsuits, taken on behalf of Eletrobrás starting in 1978, with 
monetary restatement criteria different from those established in the specific 
Law. 

Those actions should not be confused with those filed claiming the redemption 
of  the  currently  unenforceable  Bearer  Bonds  issued  in  association  with  the 
compulsory loan.

The  proceedings  accrued  for  challenged  the  calculation  system  of  monetary 
restatement  determined  in  the  law  that  governs  the  compulsory  loan,  used 
for adjustment of the credits taken starting in 1978. Those credits have been 
fully paid by Eletrobrás through conversions into shares as defined in the 72nd, 
82nd, and 142nd extraordinary meetings of Eletrobrás.

There are 3,181 lawsuits under way at different stages, aiming at recognition 
of the right to receive full monetary restatement on the amounts paid as com-
pulsory  loan.  Supported  by  their  legal  counselors’  opinion,  Eletrobrás  mana-
gement estimated at eight to ten years, the average term for a final lawsuit 
settlement.

  Under  this  criterion,  Eletrobrás  management,  based  on  its  legal  counselors’ 

174

 
Annual Report 2007

opinion, evaluates that the risk of loss on the Compulsory Loan-related law-
suits as possible. 

However, due to the substantial amounts involved, management, on a conser-
vative basis and taking into account lower-court unfavorable decisions and the 
lack of judgment by the Higher Court of Justice on the merits of the cause, 
adopts the practice of setting up a provision for contingencies, which was made 
in prior years, to cover possible losses on unfavorable legal decisions.

In this scenario, therefore, the Company’s management, due to the importance 
of  the  issue,  decided  to  carefully  consider  matters  affecting  the  company’s 
assets, in case something changes the course of the trials. Through this, the 
Company fulfills its duty to best protect the users of the Financial Statements, 
mainly  regarding  the  assessment  of  its  liabilities,  and,  consequently,  of  its 
stockholders’  equity,  trying  to  avoid  extremely  optimist  analyses  in  making 
decisions based on account information.

Thus,  the  accumulated  amount  provisioned,  corresponding  to  R$  1,328,244 
thousand, despite the classification of possible risk, is considered sufficient by 
the Company’s management and it is in conformity with the different stages 
of the lawsuits and their natures. It is not possible, at the current stage and 
circumstances, to get to a conclusion about the outcome of the proceedings, 
that may reach an approximate amount of R$3,000,000 thousand. 

Eletrobrás is the defendant in an action filed by Associação Brasileira dos Con-
sumidores  de  Água  e  Energia  Elétrica  –  Assobraee,  in  judgment  at  the  17th 
Federal Court in Brasília, where it is claimed the use of the market value of 
Eletrobrás’ shares as the issuance price of the stocks used for payment of com-
pulsory loan credits, made through the book value. An amount of R$2,397,003 
thousand  was  attributed  to  the  action,  which  is  classified  as  a  remote  loss 
according to the legal advisors.

Eletrobrás is also a party to other lawsuits whose purpose is the redemption of 
the Bearer Bonds issued by the Company regarding the compulsory loan collec-
ted between 1964 and 1976. Pursuant to the provisions of article 4, paragraph 
11 of Law 4,156/62 and article 1 of Decree 20.910/32, the said obligations are 
unenforceable.
The Company’s management, supported by its legal counselors, considers that 
the possibility of an unfavorable outcome on these ongoing lawsuits for Ele-
trobrás  is  remote,  considering  that  jurisprudence  on  the  issue  is  unanimous 
on the statute of limitations period for the right to claim redemption of the 
obligations (See note 28).

Indemnity actions filed against Chesf by the Consortium formed by CBPO/Cons-
tran/Mendes Júnior claiming for condemnation of the Company and payment of 
an additional financial compensation, due to the delayed payment of invoices 
under the Xingó Hydroelectric Power Plant construction contract. One of these 
actions filed in June 1999, referred to invoices issued as from April 1990, and 
the other, filed on May 2000, referred to invoices issued until then. The plain-
tiffs’ general claims under these actions were restricted to the existence of an 
alleged  right  to  financial  compensation,  the  determination  of  the  respective 
amounts being postponed to the end of the action. Currently, with the actions 
completed, the sentence is about to be given, and the risk involved is consi-
dered as possible.

Public civil actions against the controlled company Chesf involving R$100,000 
thousand, claiming for financial compensation for alleged environmental da-
mage to fishermen resulting from the construction of the Xingó Hydroelectric 
Power Plant. According to the opinion of Company’s legal counselors, the risk 
of an unfavorable outcome is possible, but the loss amount is not known. No 
provision has been set up for that suit.

The controlled company Chesf also faces actions involving remote risk of loss 
in the legal counselors’ opinion. Worth mentioning is a collection action filed 
by the company Mendes Júnior, engaged for the UHE Itaparica construction, 
claiming for indemnification of alleged financial losses caused by the delayed 
payment of invoices on the part of the Chesf. Said collection action is based on 
the Declaratory Action found valid for the purposes of declaring the existence 
of a Mendes Júnior’s credit against Chesf, thus ensuring financial refunding.

The controlled company Chesf has filed a civil lawsuit claiming for partial annulment 
of an amendment to the Xingó Hydroelectric Power Plant construction contract (Fac-
tor K – Analytical price correction), signed with the Consortium formed by Companhia 
Brasileira de Projetos e Obras - CBPO, Constran S.A. - Construções e Comércio and 
Mendes  Júnior  Engenharia  S.A.,  and  reimbursement  of  approximately  R$  350,000 
thousand. The lawsuit filed by the Company was considered groundless and the coun-
terclaim filed by the defendant was deemed groundful by the 12th Civil Court of the 
Judicial District of Recife – State of Pernambuco. the special appeal and the bill of 
review brought by the Company awaited decision, and the related expert work had 
already been completed and the court records completed for the Judge’s examination. 
Based on their legal counselors’ opinion, the Management recorded under “Noncur-
rent Liabilities” a provision of R$ 330,537 thousand for possible losses on that suit.

176

Annual Report 2007

Under this action, to be entitled to some sort of financial refunding, and in 
compliance  with  the  decisions  of  the  Pernambuco  Court  of  Justice  and  the 
Superior Court, Mendes Júnior was required to prove that it raised funds spe-
cifically for financing the UHE Itaparica works, because Chesf delayed to pay 
some invoices, and that the fund raising expenses were higher than the total 
additional payments made by Chesf

As  determined  by  the  Pernambuco  12th  Federal  Court,  an  accounting  expert 
work  is  under  way,  with  the  expert  appointed  by  the  Court,  stating  in  reply 
to Chesf’s question that “based on an analysis of Mendes Junior’s accounting 
records, it is impossible to confirm that in the periods of delayed invoice pay-
ment, it actually raised funds in the money market, specifically for funding the 
Itaparica works”. 

After delivering the expert appraisal report, the expert was questioned by the 
parties,  their  questions  having  not  been  analyzed  by  the  Pernambuco  12th 
Federal Court. The court records have already been sent to the Federal Public 
Prosecution  Service,  the  members  of  which  declared  that  they  are  preparing 
their opinion on the action for subsequent presentation to the Court.

Given the annulment of all actions taken at the State Court of Justice, and the 
strict instructions of the Federal Judge concerning the need for a new expert 
work,  requiring  thorough  identification  of  own  or  externally-raised  funds  for 
actual investment in Itaparica works, it is impossible to estimate the amount 
involved in this litigation, not even on a tentative basis.  Also, it should be 
taken into consideration that thus far, it has not been proved the existence 
of credit in favor of the plaintiff. According to the opinion of the Company’s 
legal advisors, such proceeding is rated as a remote possibility of loss for the 
Company.

2. 

 Labor Lawsuits
2.a) Parent Company

There are no individually significant labor contingencies involving the Company, 
and the mentioned actions have been rated by the Company’s legal counselors as 
possible losses. Still, the Company maintains a provision of  R$ 17,072 thousand, 
totally set up in previous years, to cover possible losses on ongoing suits.

2.b) Controlled companies

a) 

Several labor actions have been filed against Furnas, for which provisions have 
been set up, the most relevant referring to the change in the base date of rise 
in  the  compensation  of  Company’s  engineers,  involving  R$  71,500  thousand 

177

Annual Report 2007

(R$64,686 thousand on December 31, 2006), of which R$ 5,674 thousand re-
fers to employees transferred to Eletronuclear, due to the 1997 split. Also, the 
risk premium granted to the electricity sector’s employees subject  to risk  of 
electricity damage is a matter of concern, since in the Superior Labor Court’s 
opinion the increase should be calculated at a full rate, rather than on a pro-
portionate basis as Furnas had been doing. The coverage for possible losses on 
these actions is estimated at R$ 58,156 thousand.

b) 

The controlled company Furnas has accrued for an amount of R$ 38,921 thou-
sand for complementation to the retirement pensions for equivalence with the 
earnings of active employees.

c) 

d) 

The  jointly-owned  company  Itaipu  Binacional  has  recorded  long-term  provi-
sions for several legal, civil and labor actions involving R$ 160,770 thousand 
(R$ 188,755 thousand on December 31, 2006) and R$ 208,759 thousand (R$ 
176,569 thousand on December 31, 2006), respectively.

Several civil, tax and labor suits have been filed against the controlled company 
Eletronorte.  The  company’s  management  evaluated  the  risks  of  contingency 
arising  from  these  suits  and,  based  on  its  legal  counselors  opinion,  set  up 
provisions totaling R$ 866,239 thousand, (R$ 793,819 thousand on December 
31, 2006), thus divided: civil suits - R$ 667,006 thousand (R$ 604,718 thou-
sand on December 31, 2006), labor suits - R$194,889 thousand (R$ 167,123 
thousand on December 31, 2006) and others - R$ 4,344 thousand (R$ 21,978 
thousand on December 31, 2006), net of respective escrow deposits, all dee-
med sufficient to cover possible losses on lawsuits, which unfavorable outcome 
risk is considered as probable.

  II -  Tax contingencies 

1. 

Parent Company
In 2003 the Federal Revenue Service issued a notice against Eletrobrás assessing 
Cofins’ deficiencies in the amount of R$ 281,702 thousand, which restated through 
December 31, 2007 totals the amount of R$ 514,219 thousand.

The notice is about the deduction from that tax basis of the revenues earned from 
financing transactions for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment per-
formed with Itaipu Binacional.

The Company’s management and legal counselors do not agree with this notice of defi-
ciency, supported by the International Treaty signed between the governments of Brazil 
and Paraguay and subsequent related legislation, including Federal Revenue Service regu-
lations on transactions conducted with and by Itaipu Binacional, including tax issues.

178

Annual Report 2007

Eletrobrás challenged the notice of deficiency and did not obtain a favorable deci-
sion at the first administrative level, which confirmed the debt under discussion. 
An appeal was filed, which awaits decision by the Board of Tax Appeals, where the 
case is under review.

Based on the opinion of its legal counselors, the Company’s management expects 
to obtain a favorable decision on the case, whose likelihood of unfavorable outco-
me is considered remote, and for this reason no provision for contingencies was 
set up.

2. 

Controlled companies
a) In May 2001, the controlled company Furnas received a notice issued by the 
Federal Revenue Service assessing deficiencies in social security contribution Fin-
social, Cofins and Pasep (tax on sales), at the restated amount as of December 31, 
2007 of R$ 1,098,900 thousand (R$ 1,068,958 thousand on December 31, 2006), 
due to deductions from related tax bases, especially of the revenues from the pass-
on and transmission of Itaipu’s electricity for a ten-year period. These deficiencies 
are in addition to others assessed in 1999 for an inspection period of five fiscal 
years, in the amount of R$ 615,089 thousand, which were included in a tax debt 
refinancing  program  (Refis)  in  March  2000  and  transferred  in  July  2003  to  the 
Special Tax debt refinancing program (PAES), under amortization. 

FURNAS’  management  challenged  the  notice  of  deficiency  claiming  the  tax  pro-
cedure was incomplete and followed not in accordance with legal provisions, the 
inspection was performed more than once and for a period outside the statute of 
limitations period. In 2004, the Board of Tax Appeals granted the appeal filed by 
Furnas for the assessment of Finsocial deficiency. In 2005, a decision favorable to 
Furnas was rendered on the assessment of Pasep deficiency, due to the fact that 
the inspection exceeded the statute of limitations period established in five years. 
Regarding the assessment of Cofins deficiency, the appeal filed by Furnas has not 
yet been judged to date.

The controlled company’s management, based on the opinion of its legal counse-
lors, understands that tax actions exceed legal limits, and there is the possibility 
of a favorable outcome to Furnas. For this reason, no provisions for contingencies 
were set up.

NOTE 33 – OBLIGATIONS ASSuMED FOR ThE RELEASE OF ASSETS

The  decommissioning  of  nuclear  plants  comprises  a  program  of  activities  demanded  by 
National Nuclear Safety Authority (Brazilian Commission of Nuclear Energy - Cnen) that allows 
to safely discontinue those nuclear facilities, with minimum impact to the environment. In 
the case of Brazilian thermonuclear plants (Angra 1 and Angra 2), the option chosen was the 
decommissioning program known as “SAFSTOR,” that comprises the plant dismantlement after 
a period of confinement of 15 years (quarantine).

The calculation of the liabilities arising from the decommissioning program is based on 
prevailing Brazilian and International laws and regulations, the technology currently available 
to carry out such activities, and the costs specific to the place where the plants are located. 
According to article 16 of Law 10,308/2001, Eletronuclear is legally responsible for the 
initial deposits of waste arising from the activities of the decommissioning program of Angra 
1 and Angra 2 and, accordingly, it bears the costs of such obligation. Under the provisions 
of Law 10,308/2001, CNEN is responsible for and bears the costs of implementing the inter-
mediate and final deposits of waste. Therefore, such costs are not included in the calculation 
of the liabilities resulting from Angra plants’ write-off, though the costs for the storage of 
the waste are. Article 18 of the mentioned Law establishes that intermediate and final waste 
storage services will have their respective costs reimbursed to Cnen by the depositing parties, 
according to a table approved by the Deliberation Commission of Cnen to be in force starting 
on the first business day following the publication in the federal official gazette.

With Angra 2 becoming operative, new studies on decommissioning costs were performed, 
taking as a reference estimates made in specific studies applicable to a set of 17 US plants and 
10 European, Canadian and Japanese plants which are at different decommissioning stages, as 
well as criteria set by the US NRC – Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These criteria were used 
in studies of plants similar to the Brazilian ones, including a specific study conducted at the 
Krisko plant, which is considered as Angra’s 1 twin sister.

Angra’s 1 and Angra’s 2 deactivation cost is estimated in US$ 197,816 and US$240,000, and 

the end of the plants’ useful life forecast for December 2014 and August 2030, respectively.

Recently, the Company’s management reviewed and adjusted the values, besides defining 
parameters and regulations for setting up the necessary financial reserves to cover the decom-
missioning of the plants. Therefore, the adjusted costs are US$ 307,000 thousand and US$ 
426,000 thousand for Angra 1and Angra 2, respectively and the economic useful lives of the 
plants were adjusted to 40 years.

As a result of that revaluation, total obligation changed from US$ 437,816 thousand to 
US$733,000 thousand, in complementation of the already recognized obligation of R$123,252 
thousand, or US$ 69,583 thousand.

The balance as of December 31, 2007 of the liabilities corresponding to the decommissio-
ning of Angra I and II is R$ 451,017 thousand (R$ 356,604 thousand - December 31, 2006), 
as follows:

The amounts presented in liabilities for decommissioning of nuclear plants were estimated 
and will be reviewed during the useful lives of the facilities, considering advances in techno-
logy and in the way of recognizing the accumulated costs to be incurred with the technical-
operational deactivation.

Currently, there is no current specific legislation in Brazil dealing with the decommissio-
ning of thermonuclear plants and, accordingly, the conditions for the decommissioning, the 
procedures to be implemented, amounts to be spent, and the measures to be taken in case 
such amounts are insufficient or in excess, are not established.

Eletronuclear  manages  Low,  Medium,  and  High  radioactivity  waste.  Low  Activity  Waste 
comprises disposable materials used in the operation and maintenance of the nuclear plants. 
Medium Activity Waste is the water purification resin and filters of the process. The High Ac-
tivity Waste is the fuel used.

Accordingly,  Eletronuclear  has  already  built  a  Waste  Management  Center    -  CGR  for  the 
storage of low and medium activity wastes, located at the Central Almirante Álvaro Alberto in 
Angra dos Reis, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. 

For high activity waste, Eletronuclear has already built and operates 2 (two) initial depo-
sits (spent fuel pool), inside the respective plants of Angra 1 and Angra 2. There is also the 
project of another storage pool for spent fuel elements, located outside the plants, which will 
increase the storage capacity of the Nuclear Center and allow it to store all the fuel used by 
Angra 1 and Angra 2 reactors, throughout the useful life of those units.

Decommissioning costs include services referring to the removal, transportation, and final 
disposal of low and medium activity waste generated during the decommissioning program. 
They also include the removal and transportation of the fuel elements used to be stored where 
established by Cnen. These costs, however, do not include the services of intermediate and 
final storage of those fuel elements.

These two costs are not considered because there are no procedures, technical regulations, 
and specific legislation for the long-term storage of used fuel elements. Besides, that used 
fuel might be recycled in the future through reprocessing techniques, as currently made in 
countries such as France and Japan. That might generate enough funds to pay for the costs of 
the final storage of the resulting high activity waste. 

Given the specific characteristics of operation and maintenance of nuclear plants, whene-

181

Annual Report 2007

ver changes happen in the estimated value of deactivation cost caused by new studies and 
advances in technology, decommissioning values should be adjusted to the new reality.

NOTE 42 – PROFIT ShARING 

Eletrobrás, and its controlled companies, adopt a profit sharing program applicable to all 
employees that has as objective to promote quality and better productivity levels and global 
results of the Company.

The  program  is  based  on  collective  bargaining  agreements  with  employees  and  unions, 
under the terms of the prevailing federal law, and is carried out through previous negotiation 
of goals and commitments.

In 2007, Eletrobrás accrued for an amount of R$ 18,000 thousand (R$ 17,000 thousand 
on December 31, 2006) and  R$ 159,926 thousand in the consolidated (R$ 138,468 thousand 
on December 31, 2006), referring to profit sharing of employees and management, observing 
Resolution 10, of May 30, 1995, of the Council for the Coordination and Control of Government 
Controlled companies - CCE. 

The  payment  of  profit  sharing  will  be  discussed  during  an  ordinary  general  meeting  of 

stockholders, who will analyze the Financial Statements.

NOTE 45 – AuCTION OF ELECTRICITY AND TRANSMISSION LINES

I – Existing Energy

Along 2007, the controlled company Eletronorte took part and was the outbidder in 
various  auctions  for  sale  of  electricity  to  final  consumers  and  resellers  within  the 
Free Contracting Environment (ACL). It negotiated very short-term contracts of 400.5 
MW  on  average,  in  relation  to  an  average  availability  of  610.08  MW,  representing  a 
performance of 65.65%. Total accumulated revenues in the year reached R$ 267,750 
thousand, which represents 12.54% of the annual target of R$ 237,000 thousand, not 
considering the values accounted for and settled in relation to CCEE.

II – New energy

The Company, through the energy auctions held by Aneel for new enterprises, in com-
pliance with the rules established by Law 10,848 of March 15, 2004 and regulated by 
Decree 5.163, of July 30, 2004, obtained authorization to build and operate the follo-
wing described power plants and sell within the Regulated Contraction Environment 
(ACR) the respective energy that will be generated:

a) 

b) 

UHE Santo Antonio - On December 10, 2007, Consórcio Mesa S.A., composed of 
the companies Furnas (39%), Odebrecht Investimentos (17.6%), Andrade Gutierrez 
Participações (12.4%), Cemig (10%), Fundos de Investimentos e Participações da 
Amazônia  (20%)  and  Construtora  Norberto  Odebrecht  (1%),  was  the  outbidder 
in an auction organized by Aneel regarding the concession to build and operate 
the construction project of UHE Santo Antônio by the river Madeira in the State 
of Rondônia, with projected investments of R$ 12,200,000 thousand. The work is 
scheduled to start in December 2008, and the first and second generation units 
scheduled to begin operations in December 2012 and the last unit in June 2016.
UHE São Domingos - a plant with installed capacity of 48MW, and sale of 36MW on 
average, at the price of R$ 128.73 MWh, for supply of energy in the period between 
January 2012 and December 2041.

III – Transmission lines

a) 

b) 

Consórcio Jauru, led by Eletronorte, was the outbidder in the auction 004/2007 
held by Aneel, Lot “C”, aiming the granting of an electricity transmission public 
service concession, with allowed annual revenue of R$ 14,946 thousand.
Still in the auction of Aneel 004/2007, Eletronorte was the individual outbidder of 
Lot “G” for construction and operation of the following enterprises:

190

Annual Report 2007

b.1) A transmission line between São Luis II and São Luis III, with 230 kV of vol-

tage, and 36 Km of extension;

b.2) Substation São Luis III, 230/69 kV, and allowed annual revenue of R$ 2,122 

thousand.

c) 

Transmission line Presidente Médici/Santa Cruz (State of Rio Grande do Sul), 230 
kV  of  voltage,  and  233  Km  of  extension.  That  transmission  line  will  receive  R$ 
52,700 thousand in investments and should be concluded in 2009. 

NOTE 46 – FINANCIAL INSTRuMENTS AND RISk MANAGEMENT

  I –  Management of funds 

Most of the financial investments of Eletrobrás are long-term loans and financing, in 
addition to the interests held in public service concessionaires, detailed in notes 10 
and 19 and in attachments II and III.

  II -  Financial Instruments 

Loans and financing granted are linked with financing in the domestic electric sector, 
where the most important operations are those with Itaipu Binacional and with the 
controlled companies Eletronorte and Chesf, restated according to an average rate of 
8.99% p.a. (8.83 % p.a. on December 31, 2006).

Financing is restricted to electricity public concessionaires and, therefore, defines the 
market rate (or cost of opportunity of the Company’s capital), taking into account the 
risk premium compatible with the activities of the sector. In case it is not possible to 
find other alternatives that not the own electric sector, the fair value of those loans 
corresponds to their book value.

Loans and financing obtained with financial institutions are recorded in long-term ac-
counts, in particular those obtained overseas and Federal Government Funds, such as 
the Global Reversion Reserve Quota (RGR)  

The funds raised are composed of contracted financing with international multilateral 
agencies - BID, BIRD, CAF - and it is not practicable to discount them at a rate diffe-
rent from the one established in the Brazilian debt agreement. Other loans are obtained 
at international rates, which makes book value approximate fair value.

The Compulsory Loan, abolished by Law 7,181 of December 20, 1993, had December 
31, 1993 as limit period for payment. Now Eletrobrás manages the residual value of the 
compulsory loan collected, adjusting it according to the IPCA-E index and adding to it 
interest of 6% p.a., with a defined redemption period. Given the restrictions of those 
investments, the book balances are presented at fair value.

191

Annual Report 2007

Eletrobrás ended the year with 12 contracts recorded in liabilities, among which loans, 
financing and bonuses, that total R$ 1,716,302 thousand (R$ 2,177,429 thousand on 
December 31, 2006), as demonstrated below:

a) 

Regulatory Risk
The Company, through its controlled companies, holds concessions for exploitation 
of  electricity  generation  and  transmission  services,  whose  maturities  under  the 
terms of the current law are demonstrated in note 2. In case those concessions are 
not renewed or are renewed at higher costs for the Company, the current levels of 
profitability and activity might be changed.

b) 

Exchange Risk
A significant part of the Company’s assets and of result of operations is affected by 

192

Annual Report 2007

the exchange variation risk, in special the changes in the American dollar rate. As 
of December 31, 2007, the Company had credits stemming from financing granted 
in  foreign  currency  at  the  amount  of  R$  16,912,387  thousand,  (US$  9,548,007 
thousand).

By comparing the receivable in foreign currency with the debt of the Company, we 
observe a coverage of approximately 9.8 times. 

At  the  date  of  closing  of  these  statements,  Eletrobrás  had  not  contracted  any 
financial operations with the purpose of protecting the Company against the risk 
of  exchange  rate  flotation.  Nevertheless,  the  balance  of  receivables  in  foreign 
currency and the flow of its realization are sufficient for the Company to fulfill its 
obligations.

c) 

Credit Risk
Eletrobrás, through its controlled companies, is engaged in the markets of genera-
tion and transmission of electricity, supported by contracts executed in a regulated 
contracting environment. Through bilateral contracts entered into with electricity 
distributors,  the  Company  aimed  to  minimize  its  credit  risks  through  collateral 
mechanisms involving receivables from customers.  

In transactions with industrial customers called ‘free consumers’, the credit risk is 
minimized through previous analysis of business conditions.

d) 

Price Risk
Until 2004, the prices of energy from the generation activity were set by Aneel. 
Starting in auction 001/2004 organized by that Regulating Agency, the generating 
plants began selling their electricity to a larger number of consumers, at prices 
defined by the market.

The  activity  of  transmission  has  prices  defined  by  Aneel  through  the  so-called 
Allowed  Annual  Revenue  (RAP),  deemed  sufficient  to  cover  operating  costs  and 
maintain the economic-financial balance of the concession.

e) 

Market Risk 
A  significant  part  of  the  electricity  generated  by  the  companies  that  Eletrobrás 
controls is sold through Contracts of Commercialization in a Regulated Contract 
Environment – (CCEAR’s), executed in view of the participation of its controlled 
companies in energy auctions  held by Aneel.

 IV –  Management of investments 

Eletrobrás performs the functions of a holding, investing in participating interests 
in six electricity generating and transmission companies - Furnas, Chesf, Eletronorte, 

193

Annual Report 2007

Eletronuclear,  Eletrosul  and  CGTEE,  whose  shares  are  not  traded  at  stocks  exchan-
ges.

Besides  those  majority  interests,  Eletrobrás  holds  50%  of  the  capital  of  Itaipu 
Binacional, where it is the jointly owner with the Paraguayan company ANDE and 
the stock control of Lightpar. The Company also has a temporary investment in the 
following  federal  energy  distribution  companies  -  Eletroacre,  Ceam,  Ceron,  Ceal 
and Cepisa, which were acquired as a result of the National Privatization Program 
(PND). 

In addition, Eletrobrás holds significant minority interests in other eleven concession 
holders.

As of December 31, 2007, Eletrobrás also had non-material investments, valued at cost, 
corresponding to R$ 536,710 thousand, of which R$ 378,320 thousand refers to public 
companies - energy public service concessionaires. Although those shares can be ne-
gotiated at stock exchanges, their reduced volume of business do not characterize the 
existence of an active market, as defined by Instruction CVM 235/96, and their prices 
do not necessarily represent the values that would be obtained in a negotiation with 
a higher number of shares, demonstrating, therefore, the non-existence of reasonable 
conditions to establish market prices for those assets, and allow an appropriate com-
parison with book values.

NOTE 47 – COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENT 

The lowest and highest compensation paid to employees, taking as basis the month of De-
cember 2007, were R$ 1,571.79 and R$ 26,798.58 (including transfer additional) respectively, 
in accordance with the salary policy of Eletrobrás. The highest fees attributed to a manager, 
taking as basis the month of December 2007, corresponded to R$27,013.12.

 Non-participants of Eletros – who were retired by the Federal Social Security Institute 
(INSS) or that are in conditions to obtain retirement within twenty-four months after

plementary compensation, per year of service, plus the termination amounts payable for an 
unjustified dismissal, in accordance with the following criteria:

a) 

b) 

fifty percent of a monthly compensation per complete year of work, limited to twenty-
four years and to the amount corresponding to twelve times the highest salary of the 
Company;
medical assistance during twelve months counted upon the dismissal date.

The period to join PDVE ended on December 31, 2007, with the inclusion of 311 employe-

es. 30 employees were dismissed in December 2007. 

The remaining dismissals will carried out in the following manner:

a) 
b) 

 35 employees with dismissals scheduled to 2008; 
 246 employees with dismissals scheduled to 2009.

The  Company  had  accrued  for  an  amount  of  R$  66,500  thousand  under  the  caption 
“Estimated obligations” at the reference date of December 31, 2007 to cover the expenses 
with the implantation of PDVE, realizable until December 2009 as employees are dismis-
sed.

NOTE 49 – MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL GOvERNMENT FuNDS

Eletrobrás is responsible for managing the Global reversion reserve quota (RGR), a fund 
created with a view to covering expenses incurred by the Federal Government with the pay-
ment of indemnities referring to the reversal of public electricity concessions. RGR funds are 
invested in the Brazilian electricity sector financing, improvement of the service and financing 
the programs Procel, Reluz, Luz para Todos, and the Incentive Program for Alternative Sources 
of Electricity - Proinfa.

The Global reversion reserve quota is funded by contributions from the concession holders 
of the public electricity service, which provide a quota for the reversal and expropriation of 
electricity services equivalent to up to 2.5% of the amount invested by concession and per-
mission holders, limited to 3% of gross annual revenues. The value of the quota is computed 
as part of the service cost of those entities (See note 6.i). 

The concessionaires deposit their annual quotas for the Global reversion reserve in twelve 
equal parts, up to the last business day of each month, in a bank account created for this 

195

Annual Report 2007

specific purpose. Eletrobrás manages the account in compliance with Law No. 5,655/71 and 
subsequent amendments. 

Accordingly, the RGR funds are used in specific investment projects, as follows:
I – Financing provided to the concession and permission holders as well as to rural electri-
fication cooperatives with a view to expanding electricity distribution services (especially in 
rural and low-income areas) and to developing an energy saving program;

II – Investments in installations for power generation using renewable energy (wind, so-
lar, biomass) as well as small hydroelectric power plants and thermoelectric power plants in 
association with small hydroelectric power plants;

III – Specific investment projects for studies involving inventory and feasibility of poten-

tial water resources;

IV – Investments in the implementation of power generators up to 5,000 kW, intended 

exclusively for public services in communities using an isolated electricity system; 

V – Incentive Program for Alternative Sources of Electricity – Proinfa, created by Law No. 
10,438 of April 26, 2002 and reviewed by Law No. 10,762 of November 11, 2003, the objective 
of which is to diversify the Brazilian energetic matrix and seek regional solutions through the 
use of renewable energy sources based on the economic use of available input and applicable 
technology. The goal is to increase the share of electricity produced through those sources by 
implementing 3,300 MW of capacity; 

VI – For the National Program for Efficient Public Lighting (Reluz) that aims at rendering 
efficient 5 million points of public lighting and installing one million more in Brazil. The pro-
gram expects to cover up to 96% of the potential of energy saving of the national network of 
public lighting, currently consisting of 13 points of public lighting;

VII  –  For  the  National  Program  for  Energy  Conservation  (Procel),  a  federal  government 
program implemented in December 1985 aimed at energy saving both in production and con-
sumption, helping to improve the quality of products and services, reducing the environmental 
impact and encouraging job creation; 

VIII – For the Universalization of the Access to Electricity - Luz para Todos program, of the 

Ministry of Mining and Energy; 

IX  –  for  the  Ribeirinhas  project,  carried  out  in  regions  where  communities  are  largely 
scattered and to which access is difficult due to the type of soil and the rainy season. Its 
basic assumption is the use of renewable natural resources existing in several places where 
electricity cannot be supplied by extending the transmission network.

 The Reserve is remunerated at 5% p.a., according to the funds used. The funds withdrawn 
as  of  December  31,  2007,  to  invest  in  the  projects  described  above  totaled  R$  6,769,011 
thousand (R$ 6,171,300 thousand on December 31, 2006), recorded in the account of Global 
reversion  reserve  quota  -  RGR,  in  current  and  noncurrent  liabilities.  In  2007,  the  drafts  to 
RGR, corresponded to R$ 847,462 thousand and the sums added to the fund amounted to R$ 
517,575 thousand.

196

Annual Report 2007

Additionally, under the managerial responsibility of Eletrobrás is the Conta de Desenvolvi-
mento Energético – CDE (Energetic Development Account), a federal fund aimed at promoting 
energy development from alternative sources in the areas assisted by the interlinked system, 
and financing the universalization of the public electric power service. The Fund is valid for 
25 years, starting in 2004, and arises from payments for the use of public assets and fines 
charged by ANEEL to concessionaires, permit-holders and other entities authorized to explore 
the electricity service, whose financial operations do not affect the Company’s financial sta-
tements.

NOTE 50 – INFORMATION ON RELEvANT FACT
  I –  Guarantees given by CGTEE

In order to investigate the facts on the supposed guarantees given to Bank KfW Banken-
gruppe amounting to R$ 408,766 thousand (EUR 156,700 thousand), which would have 
been issued on behalf of CGTEE in favor of private companies, the controlled company’s 
management started an investigation whose final report was approved by the Board of 
Directors at the meeting held on August 06, 2007.

Among the conclusions of the Investigation, we highlight

a) 

b) 

 the assumed guarantees were constituted in violation to the Brazilian law and of 
statutory standards of CGTEE, involving strong indications of forgery of documents 
and signatures; and 
 CGTEE does not have, and has never had, any business or contract relationships 
with the benefited companies.

The  Investigation  Report  was  sent  to  pertinent  authorities  and  institutions  -  Fede-
ral Public Prosecution Office, Federal Police, Federal Audit Count, General Accounting 
Office, Ministry of Mining and Energy, Aneel, Commission of Mining and Energy of the 
House of Representatives.

On June 22, 2007, CGTEE had already notified the Federal Police about the non-exis-
tence of supposed guarantees given.

In order to protect CGTEE and the public interest, the controlled company hired the 
law firm Pinheiro Neto Advogados and notified the Bank KfW out-of court on July 
18,  2007,  about  the  non-existence  of  those  supposed  guarantees  given  on  that 
company’s behalf, filing a Declaratory Action of Document Falsification together with 
a Request for Submission of Documents with the Central Court of the District of Por-
to Alegre on September 10, 2007. In time, other legal measures applicable will be 
evaluated.

The Company’s management does not expect to incur losses on account of this issue.

197

Annual Report 2007

  II –  Bearer Bonds issued by Eletrobrás

The Bearer bonds issued because of the compulsory loan do not constitute securities, 
are not negotiable at Stock Exchanges, do not have quotation and are unenforceable. 
Therefore,  the  management  of  Eletrobrás  clarifies  that  the  Company  does  not  have 
outstanding debentures (See note 28).

The issuance of those bonds was associated with a legal obligation and not with a business 
decision of Eletrobrás.  In a similar way, the bondholders did not follow an action of will, 
but a legal obligation under the provision of Law 4,156/62. Therefore, the provisions of Law 
6,404/76 are not applicable to those bonds or of ones addresses by Law 6,385/76.

The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), in the decision rendered to 
the administrative proceeding CVM RJ 2005/7230, filed by the holders of the mentio-
ned bonds, stated that “the obligations issued by Eletrobrás in association with Law 
4,156/62 cannot be considered securities.” 

CVM understood that there are no irregularities in the procedures Eletrobrás adop-
ted in its financial statements in relation to the mentioned obligations or in the 
disclosure  of  the  existing  lawsuits  claiming  the  redemption  of  those  bonds  (See 
note 30).

Besides, the non-enforceability of the Bearer Bonds was reinforced by a recent decision 
of the Superior Court of Justice corroborating the understanding that those notes are 
not debentures and should not be used to guarantee executions. 

NOTE 51 – SuBSEQuENT EvENTS

  I –  Conversion of Compulsory Loans into SharesOn January 24, 2008, the Company’s 
management council decided about the 4th conversion of the compulsory loan 
into nominative class B preferred shares representing the capital stock of Ele-
trobrás, comprising all existing credits as of December 31, 2007, corresponding 
to R$ 202,375 thousand, taken after the 3rd conversion approved in the extra-
ordinary meet of April 28, 2005.

  The issuance price of the stocks will take as basis the book value per share 
of Eletrobrás as of December 31, 2007, corresponding to R$ 70.79, under the 
terms of article 4 of Law 7181/83.

  Residual values not resulting in entire shares will be paid in kind, as establishes 
article 10 of Decree 81.668/78, plus the amounts received in the year referring 

198

 
 
Annual Report 2007

to the preference in subscribing the shares of other stockholders, as establishes 
the instruction of CVM.

  The period for exercising the subscription right by the other stockholders will 
be set in accordance with article 171, paragraph 2 of Law 6.404/76, as well 
as the period for the delivery of the shares arising from the conversion. Those 
periods will 30 and 60 days, respectively, counted upon the extraordinary me-
eting date. In addition, article 6 of Eletrobrás’ by-laws will be amended, which 
addresses the composition of the Capital Stock and Shares.

  II –  Acquisition of interests in companies

As  disclosed  in  a  Notice  to  the  Market  dated  February  22,  2008,  the  management 
council  of  the  controlled  company  Eletrosul  decided  during  a  meeting  on  February 
20, 2008, to exercise Eletrosul’s right to purchase the 51% interests in the capital of 
the companies Empresa de Transmissão de Energia de Santa Catarina S.A. (SC Energia) 
and Empresa de Transmissão de Energia do Rio Grande do Sul (RS Energia), owned by 
Schahin Engenharia S.A. and Engevix Engenharia S.A.  

The enterprise totals 620  km of  transmission lines, from which 360  km refers to SC 
Energia, connecting Campos Novos to Blumenau (both in the State of Santa Catarina) 
and 260 km to RS Energia, to be concluded in 2008, connecting Campos Novos (State 
of Santa Catarina) to Nova Santa Rita (State of Rio Grande do Sul).

Those new transmission lines represent about 6.8% of the current extension of the lines 
of that controlled company, which totaled 9,145 km as of December 31, 2007.

III - Amendments to Law 6,404/76 that regulates joint stock companies

On December 28, 2007, the President of the Republic of Brazil enacted Law 11,638. 
It promoted amendments to and abolished certain provisions of Law 6,404/76, with 
the intention of coordinating the Brazilian accounting practices with the Internatio-
nal Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for preparation and presentation of financial 
statements.

We present below the main accounting changes or new requirements introduced to the 
Brazilian corporate law:

1. 

Financial Statements
The Statement of Changes in Financial Position will be not longer used. Instead, 
it was introduced the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Added Value 
for public companies. 

199

 
Annual Report 2007

2. 

Bookkeeping
The law previously determined that provisions of the tax law or special regulations 
should be recognized in subsidiary books. As a result of the changes, those records 
can be made in subsidiary books or in the main accounting books, provided that in 
the last case, the respective accounting records to prepare the financial statements 
are made.

Public companies should observe the standards established by CVM and Internatio-
nal Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Private companies can or not follow the 
standards issued by CVM for public companies. Adjustment entries made exclusively 
to coordinate the accounting standards with the statements and the numbers de-
termined in them cannot be the basis of taxation nor have any tax effects.

3. 

Balance Sheet
Permanent assets were divided into investments, property, plant and equipment, 
intangible assets and deferred charges, separating tangible and intangible assets.

The structure of stockholders’ equity was changed, and the revaluation surplus and 
retained earnings eliminated. Shares held in treasury start taking part of stockhol-
ders’ equity, and instead of a the account ‘revaluation surplus’, now ‘adjustments 
to equity valuation’ should be used.

The existing balances in those reserves should be held until their realization or 
reversed until the accounting year where the law comes into effect.

4. 

Assets
a) 

Rights that have as object physical assets destined to the maintenance of the 
activities of the company or used for that purpose should be recognized un-
der property, plant, and equipment, including those stemming from operations 
where  the  benefits,  risks,  and  control  of  those  assets  are  transferred  to  the 
Company.
Valuation of Investment in Affiliates and Controlled Companies
Investments  in  affiliated  companies,  where  the  Company  has  significant  in-
fluence or holds 20% interest or more of voting capital, as well as the ones in 
controlled companies and in other companies that take part of a same group or 
are under a common control, should be valued under the equity method. 

b) 

The requirements of the new law are applicable to financial statements for the 
years ended after January 01, 2008. Thus, at this moment is not possible to 
determine the effects of the mentioned new regulations on the income (loss) 
and stockholders’ equity of Eletrobrás.

200

Annual Report 2007

c) 

Pre-operating expenses and restructuring expenditure leading to an increase in the 
income (loss) of more than one fiscal year and which are not reducers of costs or 
additions to the efficiency of operations, should be classified as deferred assets. 

d) 

The rights referring to non-physical assets for the maintenance of activities of 
the company or used for that purchase should be classified as intangible assets, 
including goodwill obtained.

5. 

Criteria for valuation of assets

I - Financial instruments, including derivatives and receivables, classified in cur-

rent assets or long-term assets should be valuated:

a) 

at market value or equivalent value, when they refer to investments desti-
ned to trading or available for sale; and

b) 

at acquisition cost or issuance value, restated according to legal or contract 
provisions, and other investments, rights and receivables adjusted to the 
probable realizable value, when that is lower;

II - at the cost incurred in acquisition, less the balance of the respective amorti-

zation account in intangible assets; 

III – Assets from long-term operations will be adjusted at present value, and others 

adjusted if the value is material.

6. 

7. 

8. 

9. 

Criteria for valuation of Liabilities
Obligations, charges, and risks classified in the long-term liabilities will be adjus-
ted at present value, and other liabilities adjusted when the value is material.

Stockholders’ equity
The premium received in the issuance of debentures was excluded from the caption 
stockholders’ equity, as well as donations and subventions for investment.

Statement of Operations
The statement of operations will include the portion referring to debentures, and 
profit sharing of employees and management, even the ones in the form of finan-
cial instruments, and from institutions or assistance or pension funds of employe-
es, not characterized as expense. 

Reserves and Retention of Income
A tax incentive reserve was created. Donations and government grants for invest-
ment will take part of income (loss) for the year, and as proposed by the manage-
ment, a general meeting will decide the destine for the portion of net income from 
those incentives to form the mentioned reserve. 

201

10. 

Limit for the income reserve
The balance of reserves for contingencies, tax incentives and of income realizable 
can from now on exceed the amount of capital stock.

We have examined the balance sheet of Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Ele-
trobrás – individual and consolidated, dated December 31, 2007 and the related 
statements of income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of changes in finan-
cial position for the year then ended, all prepared under the responsibility of the 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial state-
ments. As mentioned in Note 19, the investments in certain controlled companies 
and parent companies as of December 31, 2007 were evaluated on the equity me-
thod based on financial statements examined by other independent auditors.  Our 
opinion thereon, insofar as it relates to these investments and the revenue arising 
therefrom, in the amounts of R$ 33,759,973 thousand and R$ 2,010,440 thousand, 
respectively, is solely based on that other independent auditor’s opinion. 
Apart from what was mentioned on paragraph 3, our audit was conducted in accor-
dance with Brazilian auditing standards and comprised: a) work planning taking 
into consideration the Company’s relevant balances, volume of transactions and ac-
counting and internal control systems; b) examination, on a test basis, of evidence 
and records supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; 
and c) evaluation of the most significant accounting practices used, and estimates 
made by management as well as the presentation of the financial statements taken 
as a whole.
So far, it was not presented the opinion of the independent auditors related to the 
financial statements of the year ended in December 31, 2007 of the relevant parent 
companies  (NOTE  19)  which  investments  were  evaluated  on  the  equity  method. 
As a result, it was not possible, by means of additional procedures of auditing, to 
evaluate the compliance of these investments, as well as the equity in earnings 
income produced by them in the amount of R$ 376,404 thousand and R$ 4,774 
thousand, respectively.
In our opinion, based on our examinations and the other independent auditors’ 
opinions,  apart  from  the  effects  that  may  arise  from  the  omitted  procedures  of 
auditing mentioned on paragraph 3, the financial statements referred to in para-
graph 1 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Centrais 
Elétricas Brasileiras S,A. – Eletrobrás as of December 31, 2007, and the result of its 
operations, the changes in stockholders’ equity and the sources and applications 
of its resources correspondent to the year ended at that time, in accordance with 
accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
We have examined the supplementary financial statements comprising the state-
ments of cash flow and value-added, both individual and consolidated, presented 
for additional analysis purposes, though not required as part of the statutory finan-
cial statements. This supplementary information statements were submitted to the 
same auditing procedures applied to the financial statements and, in our opinion,

are fairly presented in all material aspects, in relation to the financial statements 
referred in the first paragraph, taken as a whole. 
As mentioned in NOTE 32, the company registered in the “non-current liability” the 
amount of R$ 1,328,544 thousand related to provisions for civil contingencies for 
claim by some corporations on the right to receive the monetary correction in full 
on the amounts of  Compulsory Loan collected to the advantage of Eletrobrás. Ba-
sed on the opinion of its legal assistants who reveal uncertainty on the possibility 
of loss of the correspondent law suits (in 2003 the possibility of loss was classified 
as possibility of failure in the defense of the lawsuits in process), at the beginning 
of the care, in view of the confirmation of the unfavourable decisions in first pro-
secution and of the inexistency of judgment in superior courts, the Management of 
the company maintained registered the provision for contingencies, mainly consti-
tuted in previous years as a way of making a stand against fortuitous losses resul-
ted from unfavourable judicial decisions. As a controversy issue, it is not possible 
at the current circumstances to come to any conclusion about the outcome of the 
issue as well as the fortuitous impacts on the financial statements.
The company, aiming at the certification at U.S. – Security and Exchange Commis-
sion – SEC, has been working in the process of development of its internal controls 
and its corporative governance to be in accordance with the Sarbanes Oxley Law 
(Section 404) and, consequently, to reduce the possibility of risks and frauds in its 
business in all its levels. 
The  financial  statements  of  Furnas  –  Centrais  Elétricas  S.A.  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2007, were examined by other independent auditors, whose opinion 
dated  February  21,  2008  emphasized  the  balance  of  value  added  tax  (ICMS)  of 
R$ 44,067 thousand, registered by Furnas in the current asset, resulting from the 
Agreement of Commitment and Financial Cooperation between Eletronorte – Cen-
trais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil S.A. and the Departamento de Estradas e Rodagem 
do Estado do Mato Grosso for work, implantation and pavement with asphalt of the 
road that accesses the “Aproveitamento Múltiplo de Manso”. All the work done was 
transferred to the Company in 1999 by the Resolution of Conselho Nacional de De-
sestatização nº 02/1999, complemented by Resolution nº 04/1999. In June 13th, 
2007 the “Termo da Ação de Conclusão Fiscal” in which is written that “The Gover-
nment of Estado do Mato Grosso will reimburse Furnas for the value correspondent 
to the percentage of its participation”, enlightening that “After the conclusion of 
the service orders related to all companies, it will be possible to verify the value 
to be given back to Furnas, if the case”. Therefore, the liquidation of this credit 
still depends on the procedures resulted from actions of Finance Department of the 
State of Mato Grosso in relation to the definition of the value as well as the date 
of its execution. 
We examined the financial statements of Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil S.A. 
– Eletronorte, for the year ended December 31, 2007 and we issued unqualified 
opinion, dated February 20, 2008, emphasizing the following: a) insufficiency of 
working capital and operational losses retained in the last years, in the subsidiary 

226

Annual Report 2007

227

Manaus  Energia  S.A.,  depending  on  the  amount  of  resources  from  its  controller 
shareholder to guarantee that the operations go on. b) continuity in  the business 
of the subsidiary Boa Vista S.A.; and c) Eletronorte sponsors, with its subsidiaries 
Manaus Energia S.A. and Boa Vista Energia S.A., the private social security entity 
called  “Previnorte  –  Foundation  of  Complementary  Private  Social  Security”.  The 
mathematical/actuarial reserves were prepared by the independent actuary of the 
Foundation, based on the biometric table AT-49, with an amendment for 2 (two) 
years for the projection of the longevity of the participants and assisted people. 
Previnorte is promoting, gradually, the implementation of the table AT-83, as re-
quested  by  the  Resolution  CGPC  nº  18,  as  of  March  28,  2006,  which  final  term 
for the adoption of this table ends on December 31, 2008. Therefore, taking into 
account the current stage of this process as well a the due date for the adoption of 
the said table, fortuitous adjustments can be identified within the future financial 
statements resulting from the application of the NPC nº 26 from IBRACON – Insti-
tute of Independent Auditors of Brazil.
The  financial  statements  of  Companhia  de  Eletricidade  do  Acre  –  Eletroacre,  for 
the year ended December 31, 2007 were examined by other independent auditors, 
whose unqualified opinion dated February 15, 2008 emphasized  that the financial 
statements were prepared counting on the continuity in the business of the com-
pany. Nevertheless, despite the income reached in the last two years, the company 
has been having accumulated losses through the years, supported by the controller 
shareholder,  with  resources  bound  for  capital  increase.  Therefore,  for  the  deve-
lopment and  continuity of  the  operations, the  company  has been  implementing 
measures aiming at the economic-financial viability of the enterprise. 
The financial statements of CTEEP – Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica 
Paulista, for the year ended December 31, 2007 were examined by other indepen-
dent auditors, whose unqualified opinion of January 30, 2008 emphasized the fact 
that, in accordance with de decision of 49th Jurisdiction of Work of São Paulo, 
from September 2005 on, the Foundation CESP began to issue the payroll of the 
supplementary  pension  plan’s  beneficiaries  ruled  by  Law  4,819/58,  using  funds 
onlended  by  the  Company  in  the  way  it  had  been  done  until  December  2003. 
In Janeuary 2006 the State of São Paulo Office of the General Attorney had the 
understanding  that  the  State  Government’s  responsibility  was  restricted  to  the 
constitutional  limits  of  the  State  determined  for  the  payment  of  the  retirement 
benefits. Since then, the Government of State began to stop some of the funds 
onlended to the Company.  The Management of the Company, supported by its legal 
advisors, understands that the responsibility by the payments of benefits related 
to the issue is responsibility of the Government of State. As a result, no obligation 
whatsoever has been recorded in connection therewith. 
We examined the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, pre-
sented for comparative purposes, and we issued unqualified opinion dated March 
26, 2007 containing similar emphasis to those described in paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8c, 
9, 10 and 11, besides the following:

The financial statements of Furnas – Centrais Elétricas S.A. for the year ended De-
cember 31, 2006, were examined by other independent auditors, whose opinion 
dated March, 2007, emphasized that the amount of R$ 293,560 thousand from 
energy sale transactions performed within the Electric Energy Commercialization 
Chamber – CCEE (formerly Wholesale Energy Market – MAE) sphere of activity  in 
the period from September 2000 to September 2002, are still on the effect of 
temporary restricting judicial orders filed by companies of the electric sector in 
order to interrupt the payment. In 2007, due to the uncertainty of the financial 
accomplishment of the values to receive, Furnas constituted provisions for allo-
wance for doubtful accounts, considering the integrality of these values. 
The financial statements of Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas S.A. for the year ended 
in December 31, 2006 were examined by other independent auditors, whose un-
qualified opinion, dated February 14, 2007 emphasized the non homologation 
of the tariff review applicable to the tariffs from July 1, 2005. This homologa-
tion occurred on July 02, 2007 promoting a reduction of the Annual Permitted 
Income – RAP of 1.36%, representing an adjustment of R$ 23,632 thousand 
which will be deduced from the monthly billings in 24 installments of R$ 985 
thousand from July, 2007 on. 
The financial statements of Eletrobrás Termonuclear S.A. – Eletronuclear for the 
year ended December 31, 2006 were examined by other independent auditors, 
whose unqualified opinion, dated February 09, 2007 emphasized the inclusion 
of Angra 3 Project in the Program of Investments of the Federal Government, 
thus enabling operation expansion and recovery of resources already used in 
the current fixed assets. In 2007, National Council of Energetic Politics - CNPE 
by the Resolution nº 3/2007, dated July 25,2007, determined that Eletrobrás 
and Eletronuclear led the retake of the construction of Angra 3 nuclear plant 
considering the beginning of commercial operation in 2013.   
The financial statements of Companhia Estadual de Distribuição de Energia Elé-
trica  CEEE-D,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2006  were  examined  by  other 
independent auditors, whose unqualified opinion, dated February 26,2007, em-
phasized the following aspects: a) In March 2, 2005, the Local Finance Depart-
ment informed us that despite the group work has not been finished the electric 
energy account conciliation, which compounds part of the installment plan of 
debts of energy in the amount of R$ 49,885 thousand, the group work has alrea-
dy informed the existence of unconformities. Therefore, before stating anything, 
it is a good strategy to wait for the work conclusion; and b) the company has 
been registering in long term asset the amount of R$ 15,889 thousand referring 
to the receivable reimbursement of the Revision of the Extraordinary Tariff and 
R$ 13,207 thousand referring to the Charges on the Service of System and in the 
long term liabilities the amount of R$40,607 thousand, relating to the transac-
tions performed in the sphere of activity of Chamber of Electric Energy Commer-
cialization – CCEE in prior years.

The financial statements of Companhia Estadual de Geração e Transmissão de 
Energia Elétrica – CEEE-GT for the year ended December 31, 2006 were exami-
ned by other independent auditors, whose unqualified opinion dated of Februa-
ry 26, 2007 emphasized that the company registered in long term asset values 
receivable in the amount of R$ 52,108 thousand, referring to the receivable 
reimbursement from Review of the Extraordinary Tariff, and  R$ 73,058 thou-
sand of payables recorded as long term liabilities referring to prior years’ energy 
purchase and sale transactions performed in the CCEE’s sphere of activity.  
The financial statements of CTEEP - Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elé-
trica Paulista for the year ended December 31, 2006 were examined by other 
independent auditors, whose unqualified opinion dated February 1, 2007 em-
phasized the adjustments of the Annual Permitted Income – RAP based on the 
variations of the Market Price Index – IGP-M for tariff cycles of July 2005 to 
June 2006 and from July 2006 to June 2007. In June 26, 2007, the first perio-
dical tariff review was approved, reducing the Annual Permitted Income – RAP

The financial statements of Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia S.A. – 
EMAE for the year ended December 31, 2006 were examined by other indepen-
dent auditors, whose unqualified opinion, dated of March 09, 2007 emphasized 
that the company is evaluating the economic and financial impact of changes 
in the new sectoral model and the recent experience with energy auctions on 
its  businesses.  In  the  Management’s  opinion,  besides  the  measures  already 
taken to reduce costs and increase revenues, ultimately enhancing profitability 
and investments in the company’s generation complex, further measures cur-
rently under discussion with the Grantor will be required.
The financial statements of Centrais Elétricas de Rondônia S.A. – Ceron, for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2006  were  examined  by  the  independent  auditors, 
whose  unqualified  opinion,  dated  of  February  27,  2007emphasized  that  the 
financial statements were prepared taking into account the continuity of the 
company business. Nevertheless, the company has borne losses over the years, 
and accordingly has taken measures for attaining economic and financial ba-
lance, ultimately being able to continue in business. In December 31, 2007, 
Eletrobrás registered provision for insufficiency of assets over liabilities in pro-
portion to active participation in Ceron.
