Letter from the Chairman of the Board

To our Shareholders:

If one adds to the aforementioned amounts the US$562 

I am pleased to submit the 2000 Annual Report on the 

management and operations of the Enersis Group for 

your consideration.  Before starting this brief summary of 

the major activities that took place in 2000, I would like 

to thank all our shareholders who participated in the first 

portion of our capital increase. We appreciate the trust 

million invested in the capital expenditures of our 

subsidiaries so as to allow for their natural growth, we 

reach an aggregate amount of approximately US$1.25 

billion, which is the largest investment carried out 

by any Chilean industrial group during 2000, thereby 

corroborating the trust that we have in our business, the 

region and in the medium and long-term development 

that you deposited in the Company, in its businesses 

and in our management. The account below will show 

prospects.

you that you made the correct decision in reinvesting in 

Enersis. Suffice it to say that we turned around a loss 

of US$143 million in 1999 into a US$157 million profit 

in 2000.

The year just ended could be described as one of 

adjustment and intense preparation by the Group in 

order to allow us to meet  the new challenges posed 

by a global business environment characterized by 

fast change. In fact, 2000 may be identified with the 

explosive growth of the “.com” companies and the 

subsequent outburst of investment options in 

high-tech virtual corporations of whirling yet 

precarious capitalization.

This large investment has been carried out on the basis 

of very stable and certain growth, such as that sustained 

by the demand for electricity above and beyond the 

growth of the economy. In fact, during 2000, while the 

GDP of the five countries in which we operate grew by 

an average of 3.1%, energy sales increased by 5.1% 

and energy produced by 5.7%. This example was not 

a mere chance outcome last year.  When reviewing 

a thirty-year period in the region, we observe that 

the energy demand normally grows between two and 

three percentage points above the variation of economic 

growth. In fact, demand for electricity grows even during 

recessive cycles.

Nevertheless, Enersis, with a clear understanding of 

In addition to the rather inelastic residential or personal 

its core business, decided to increase its equity share

emergence of new industries, growing commercial

that drive such decisions must also be long-term, 

sustainable and consistent.

Of course, as in any market, this one requires some 

minimum price balance between demand and supply. 

An interference on behalf of one end of the chain, to 

the detriment of the other, could result in regrettable 

consequences, such as those recently occurred in 

California, where impacts are still difficult to assess. 

Such events not only directly concern the companies 

involved and the related financial system, but they also 

have an impact on consumers. The lessons that may 

be learned from this crisis should serve to work out 

the significant unsolved regulatory problem; namely, the 

acceptance of market rules at the beginning of the chain, 

and yet the price interference at its end.

in the city of Río de Janeiro, Brazil.

In 1997, Enersis successfully participated in the 

process of capitalization and subsequent control of 

Codensa S.A. ESP, a company that distributes electricity 

in the city of Bogotá and the district of Cundinamarca, 

Colombia.

At the beginning of 1998, Enersis once again participated 

in the Brazilian market. This time, through a consortium, 

was awarded a major percentage in the ownership 

of Companhia Energética de Ceará S.A., Coelce, a 

company that distributes electricity in Northern Brazil, in

Dividend Policy for the year 2001

All present members of the Board of Directors 

4.-  Profits generated by subsidiary companies organized 

unanimously agreed to submit to the Shareholders’ 

Meeting, scheduled for April 2, 2001 the following 

Dividend Policy they expects to enforce during 2001:

Distribute in the months of May, August and November of 
the year 2001 and in the month of February 2002 a interim 
dividend to be charged to the net income of the year 
2001, amounting to 85% of the net income from normal 
operations in the quarters ending in the months of March, 
June, September and December of such fiscal year. For 
purposes of the above calculation, the interim dividends 
for the year 2001 already distributed on such distribution 
date will be deducted from 85% of the cumulative net 
income.

Dividends established in pursuance of this policy will be 
applied to the income originated from normal company 
operations, understanding as such the net income 
obtained by the Company in fiscal year 2001, without 
considering those originating from the following events:

1.-  Accounting effects deriving from the valuation of 

equity contributions made to subsidiary companies.

2.-  Accounting effects deriving from the recognition of the 

premium in equity placement by subsidiaries of their 

own stock.

3.-  Profits arising directly or indirectly from participation in 

related companies organized in Chile or abroad.

abroad or by subsidiary companies in which the 

participation of the Company, either directly or 

indirectly, is less than 60% of the capital stock of 

those companies, as well as profits deriving from the 

disposal of assets in such companies.

5.-  Accounting recognition of positive and negative 

goodwill associated with the investments.

The Board of Directors shall not distribute interim 
dividends based on profits that arise from the above 
events and the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting will state 
their view thereon when approving the final dividend.

The foregoing is the intention of the Board of Directors 
of the Company and, consequently, its compliance will 
be subject to the actual profits as well as to the results 
reflected in the projections that the Company makes from 
time to time, or to the existence of given conditions.

As for the final dividend policy, it is the purpose of 
the Board of Directors that such dividends will be as 
a minimum the interim dividends already distributed or 
the minimum stated by the Chilean Law on Joint Stock 
Companies, whichever of the two be higher.

The following table shows the dividends per share paid

During year 2000 Chilectra purchased energy from 

several generation companies in the country, among 

others, Endesa Chile (28.9%), Gener (26.9%), 

Pehuenche (15.2%), Pangue (11.5%) and Colbún 

(10.4%).

OPERATING ACTIVITY

TARIFF SETTING PROCESS

Chilectra is the largest electric energy distribution 

company in the country. It serves 33 boroughts of the 
Metropolitan Region over an area of 2,118 km2 within its 

concession area.

Enersis, its main stockholder with 98.0%, after 

purchasing in November 2000, an additional 25.4% of 

the shares through a Public Tender Offer that ended in 

January 2001, has appointed it as its operator in the 

investments it conducts in the distribution business area.

SALE AND PURCHASES OF ENERGY 

At December 31, 2000, the physical energy sales 

reached 8,854 GWh, representing a 5.1% increase as 

compared to the identical period of 1999. From the total 

energy invoiced during year 2000, 30.6% corresponds 

to residential sales, 29.0% to industrial sales, 20.3% to 

commercial sales and 20.1% to other areas.

The electricity rates are set every four years. Pursuant to 

the electric law, a supply tariff review took place in the year 

2000, which in terms of the 1999 period considered for the 

tariff setting process, represents an 18.1% decrease in the 

company’s operating income.

ENERGY LOSSES

During year 2000, Chilectra continued with its process to 

control losses. The investments in new projects related to 

technical measures for controlling and maintaining those 

already existing were kept. 

This set of measures enabled to reduce the energy loss 

index, reaching 5.2% at the end of the period.

COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY

The number of customers reached 1,261,544 at 

December 31, 2000, which represents a 1.9% increase as 

compared to 1999.

Chilectra has consolidated its position in the energy 

distribution market, reaching leading efficiency levels in the 

region.

Within the bounds of the campaign to introduce 

the electric energy as the best solution, both on a

Edesur’s main purpose is the distribution and 

commercialization of electric energy in the southern 

area of Buenos Aires, comprising two thirds of the 

Federal Capital and twelve districts in the Province of 

Buenos Aires, which represents a total concession area 
of 3,309 km2. Chilectra has been Edesur’s exclusive 

operator in accordance with the bidding condition since 

1992.

SALES AND PURCHASES OF ENERGY

The physical sales of energy during the period reached 

12,597 GWh and the maximum power recorded during 

the year reached 2,593 MW, representing a 2.2% and 

9,5% increase respectively as compared to 1999.

ENERGY LOSSES

During year 2000, Edesur has developed all of the plans 

and projects aimed at controlling energy losses. However, 

during this period, the energy losses interrupted the 

falling tendency reaching an annual index of 10.3%. 

Among the causes of this adverse evolution is the social 

situation characterized by an increase in the levels of 

poverty and the high rates of unemployment. 

It is also important to point out that from year 2000 the 

methodology to calculate the index of energy losses has 

been changed. The change consisted in considering 

the energy by consumption not recorded as part of the 

invoiced energy, and the estimation of the energy read 

in meters was included for the structuring of the periodic 

energetic balance. This methodology change prevents 

at December 31, 2000 was 2,108,472. From this total, 

86.3% are residential customers, 13.4% are general 

customers and the remaining 0.3% corresponds to large 

consumers.

In year 2000, Edesur made major investments tending 

to improve the quality of service and the conditions of 

safety of the installations, such as the construction of new 

substations, the expansion of substations and networks, 

various technological innovations, etc.

During the year 2000, the commercial activity was aimed 

at consolidating its position in view of the future changes 

in the Argentinean electric market, and the strengthening of 

the corporate image change  started during the previous 

year. All the foregoing without losing sight of the traditional 

variables of the business; improvement of the service 

quality, control of losses and past dues and improvement 

of the efficiency of the management.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Compañía Americana de Multiservicios S.A. (CAM), 

wholly owned by Enersis, is the successor in charge of 

continuing the electric engineering and service activities of 

Ingeniería e Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco S.A. 

It was organized in late 1999 with the purpose to 

enhance and consolidate its presence in the area of 

massive support services to electricity, water, gas and 

telecommunications companies.

CAM has gradually consolidated its presence in the 

market , with a number of work services rendered to 

various public service companies that have placed it 

in an outstanding level on a national basis. 

On the other hand, internationally speaking, the opening 

of the subsidiary companies in Colombia and Perú, 

besides the already existing subsidiary in Argentina, has 

enabled it to consolidate its presence in the area of 

tailored associated integral service rendering to electric 

distribution companies. For the year 2001, it is intended 

to start this type of activities in Brazil.

MAIN ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES

During the year 2000, the services platform enabling 

the development of the multiple services framework was 

devised. The consolidation of the network and joints 

construction, besides the incorporation of the commercial 

services of reading meters and delivery of bills, past 

dues, cutting and replacing utility services and market 

discipline, have enabled it to place itself among the main 

public utility services. Thus at present, the meter-reading 

services are being provided to several companies, namely 

Chilectra, Chilquinta and Río Maipo and the bill delivery 

service is provided to the aforementioned companies in 

addition to Emos and Smartcom PCS.

As for metering, the service of quality diagnostic of the 

meters installed by Chilectra, Río Maipo, Edelnor, Cerj 

and Codensa was implemented, which enabled those 

companies to acquire a full knowledge of the recording 

being made of consumed energy and power invoiced .

In the area of engineering and major urban services, 

important projects were set in place, such as the 

completion of the 220 kV transmission system over 

an extension of 57 km, 30 of which are located in 

a high mountain area. The execution of a roadway 

lighting turnkey project for the Autopista Los Libertadores. 

The participation in roadway lighting engineering

currently under construction, along with the execution 

of these works for the underground parking areas in 

Providencia and Santa Lucía. As regards services for 

telecommunications, four 36 and 42-meter high antennas 

were erected at Chilectra’s Substations on a turnkey 

basis for Smartcom PCS, and advisory services were also 

provided in order to familiarize them with the formalities 

and execution of joints at a national level, as well as the 

support provided in the technical inspection of towers 

erected by third parties.

In the area of public utility services, a massive replacement 

of 90,000 water meters was carried out for Esval. 

Construction works were completed involving telephone

networks and multiple-pipe projects conducted on a joint 

basis with Chilectra for the Municipality of Vitacura and 

Providencia. Works of installation and replacement of 

lighting was carried out in various boroughs of Santiago 

as per the contract entered into with Chilectra. New urban 

development works were carried out with nearly 19,100 

electric joints, representing 65% of the market, a work that 

also comprised the installation of aerial and underground 

electric networks.

On an international basis, the Colombian subsidiary of 

CAM was organized, after the awarding of the public 

bidding process called by Codensa for the services of 

laboratory, integral telemeasurement and annexed services 

provided to non-regulated customers, massive installations 

for new supplies and integral servicing of major customers. 

Likewise, it provides the services of telemeasurement 

and annexed services to non-regulated customers for the 

electric trading company Enersis Energía de Colombia.

after the awarding of the laboratory services and field 

services associated to major customers for Edelnor. 

In Argentina, CAM’s subsidiary was awarded with the 

contract of the commercial cycle for the integral servicing 

of the Rivera Sur branch with 488,000 customers. 

This implies providing the services of meter reading 

and bill delivery, market discipline, past dues, cutting 

and reconnection, installation and removal of meters, 

commercial services and collection. Likewise, it was 

awarded with the contract of the technical cycle for 

serving the areas of Avellaneda and Quilmes. This 

implies providing the services of customer complaints, 

preparation of projects in LT and MT networks, 

construction, maintenance and operation of aerial and 

underground LT and MT networks. Both contracts are for 

a three year period. 

In Brazil, the subsidiary CAM Brasil Multiservicios Ltda.

Synapsis

GENERAL INFORMATION

For Synapsis, a company 100% owned by the Enersis 

Group, the year 2000 was the year of its consolidation as 

a supplier of integral services to public utility companies in 

Latin America, especially companies of the Enersis Group, 

all of the foregoing in the framework of the execution of 

the Systems Master Plan as a part of the Genesis Project. 

OPERATING ACTIVITY

Hard work was conducted during the year in pursuit 

of said project, which implied the transfer of personnel 

from subsidiary companies, negotiation of contracts for 

telecommunications and control systems, participation 

in bidding processes with the purpose of providing 

its customers both within the Group and external, the 

services of data processing, telecommunications and 

control systems. 

In this same context, the tasks began for the execution of 

the projects defined as corporate; relevant in this context 

is the organization of Synapsis Perú, the improvement 

of the data processing center in Chile, the corporate 

backbone, the corporate intranet consisting in setting 

up a network comprising the companies of the Group

OPERATING ACTIVITY

During the year  2000, Diprel experienced a boost in 

its results by approximately 58%, basically explained by 

the results obtained abroad. Although the economic crisis 

undergone by the country has restrained an expedite 

recovery of the businesses intended for the sectors of 

construction, housing and industry, as a counteraction, 

important benefits have been achieved in the reduction of 

costs in the purchase of materials, contracting of works 

and services and in administrative expenses. 

Likewise, the international business experienced 

dramatic changes, from exporters to domestic operators 

in Perú and Colombia, and supporting the management of 

supplies of the Enersis subsidiaries in Brazil.

Always within the mission to optimize the functions of 

supply, purchase and contracts in the Enersis Group, 

during the year  2000 important goals were set, namely, 

attaining a global reduction of at least 17% in the prices of 

costs and reaching an important reduction of stocks at the 

Group’s level, tasks that have been achieved by 100%.

The integral management of provision in Chile was 

consolidated; it includes the management of purchases, 

contracts and services, administration, management and 

control of the warehouses of Chilectra, Río Maipo, CAM, 

Synapsis and Colina.

In this same fashion, the creation of subsidiary companies 

in Perú and Colombia was achieved. These companies 

are in charge of the management of purchases and 

contracts, stock and warehouse management of the 

electric companies comprising the Enersis Group in such 

locations.

In the area of domestic businesses, the important 

participation in the Public Lighting projects is highlighted, 

with relevance being in the projects carried out in the 

boroughs of Santiago, Ñuñoa, La Reina, Florida and 

Macul. 

It is worthy to point out the company’s continuous 

concern for labor accidents, an effort which translated in 

the Year 2000’s Merit Award 2000 being conferred to the 

company by the Asociación Chilena de Seguridad.

In order to reach higher levels of productivity, it was 

necessary to dismiss 14% of the personnel,  a process 

that was carried out in accordance with the policies 

set in place by the Group, providing economic support

Accounts Inspector

Pursuant to the provisions in law No. 18,046 on  Limited Liability Stock Companies and in compliance with the 

mandate granted by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 06, 2000, we have examined the Consolidated 

Financial Statements of Enersis S.A. for period between January 1 and December 31, 2000.

Our assignment was focused on verifying, on a selecyive basis, the coincidence of the figures presented in the 

Financial Statements with the official records of the Company and its subsidiaries and to such and end we compared 

the figures presented in the ledger with the grouping and classificaton worksheets. To subsequently ascertain if 

these amounts which are the balances of accounts of the same nature match with those included in the Financial 

Statements, a revision which entailed no objections.

Report of Independent Accountants

(Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish – See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements)

To the Shareholders of Enersis S.A.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enersis S.A. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as 

of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash 

flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 

responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial 

statements of the subsidiary Endesa – Chile S.A., whose total assets and revenues constitute 30 percent and 18 percent, 

respectively, of the related consolidated totals but were furnished with the report of other accountants of their audit 

of those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States. Those standards 

require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 

of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 

in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and 

the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present 

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Enersis S.A. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, 

and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 

accounting principles in Chile.

Accounting practices used by the Company in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements conform 

with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile, but do not conform with accounting principles generally accepted 

in the United States.  A reconciliation of consolidated net income and shareholders’ equity under accounting principles 

generally accepted in Chile to the corresponding amounts that would be reported in accordance with United States 

generally accepted accounting principles, except for the omissions, as allowed pursuant to Item 17 of SEC Form 20-F, 

of adjustments necessary to eliminate the effect of price-level changes and the translation of non-Chilean operations 

described in Notes 2 (c), is set forth in Note 31 to these financial statements.

Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 2 

(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2000, 

and thousands of US dollars)

NOTE 1  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

Enersis S.A. (the “Company”) is registered in the Securities Register under No. 0175 and is regulated by the 

Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (the “SVS”).  The Company issued publicly-registered 

American Depositary Receipts in 1993 and 1996.  Enersis S.A. is a reporting company under the United States 

Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s subsidiaries, Chilectra S.A., Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A. (Río Maipo S.A.), Empresa 

Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa S.A.) and Aguas Cordillera S.A. are registered in the Securities Register 

under No.’s 0321, 0345, 0114 and 0369, respectively.

NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a)  General:

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally 

accepted accounting principles in Chile and the regulations established by the SVS (collectively “Chilean 

GAAP”), and the specific corporate regulations of Law No. 18.046, related to the formation, registration and 

liquidation of Chilean corporations, among others.  Certain accounting practices applied by the Company 

that conform with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile do not conform with generally accepted 

accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”).  Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial 

statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Chilean GAAP, along with the reconciliation to 

US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 

of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial 

statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results 

could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of operations of Enersis S.A. and its 

subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Investments 

in companies in the development stage are accounted for using the equity method, except that income or 

losses are included directly in equity instead of being reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of 

income. The Company consolidates the financial statements of companies in which it controls over 50% 

of the voting shares, which are the following:

(2) The Company obtained shareholder agreements dated June 25, 1999, from Endesa Internacional, the majority shareholder of these 

companies, giving the Company the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors.  The Superintendency of Securities and Insurance 

were notified on June 28, 1999.

(b)  Periods covered:

These financial statements reflect the Company’s financial positions as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and 

the results of its operations, the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ended 

December 31, 1999 and 2000.

(c)  Constant currency restatement:

The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Chilean Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the three-year 

period ended December 31, 2000 was approximately 12.04%.

  Chilean GAAP requires that the financial statements be restated to reflect the full effects of loss in the purchasing 

power of the Chilean peso on the financial position and results of operations of reporting entities.  The method 

described below is based on a model that enables calculation of net inflation gains or losses caused by monetary 

assets and liabilities exposed to changes in the purchasing power of local currency. The model prescribes that 

the historical cost of all non-monetary accounts be restated for general price-level changes between the date of 

origin of each item and the year-end.

The financial statements of the Company have been price-level restated in order to reflect the effects of the 

changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean currency during each year. All non-monetary assets and liabilities, 

all equity accounts and income statement accounts have been restated to reflect the changes in the CPI from the 

date they were acquired or incurred to year-end (see also Note 4).

The purchasing power gain or loss included in net income reflects the effects of Chilean inflation on the monetary 

assets and liabilities held by the Company.

The restatements were calculated using the official consumer price index of the National Institute of Statistics and 

based on the “prior month rule,” in which the inflation adjustments are based on the CPI at the close of the month 

preceding the close of the respective period or transaction.  This index is considered by the business community, 

the accounting profession and the Chilean government to be the index that most closely complies with the technical 

requirement to reflect the variation in the general level of prices in Chile, and consequently it is widely used for 

financial reporting purposes.

The values of the Chilean consumer price indices used to reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of 

the Chilean peso (“price-level restatement”) are as follows:

November 30, 1999 
November 30, 2000 

Change over 
Previous 
November 30,

2.6%
4.7%

Index 

102.04 
106.82 

By way of comparison, the actual values of the Chilean consumer price indices as of the balance sheet dates 

are as follows:

December 31, 1999 
December 31, 2000 

Change over 
previous 
December 31,

2.3%
4.5%

Index 

102.31 
106.94 

The above-mentioned price-level restatements do not purport to represent appraisal or replacement values and are 

only intended to restate all non-monetary financial statement components in terms of local currency of a single 

purchasing power and to include in net income or loss for each year the gain or loss in purchasing power arising from 

the holding of monetary assets and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation.

Index-linked assets and liabilities

Assets and liabilities that are denominated in index-linked units of account are stated at the year-end values of the 

respective units of account.  The principal index-linked unit used in Chile is the Unidad de Fomento (“UF”), which is 

adjusted daily to reflect the changes in Chile’s CPI.  Certain of the Company’s investments are linked to the UF.  As the 

Company’s indexed liabilities exceed its indexed assets, the increase in the index results in a net loss on indexation.  

Values for the UF are as follows (historical Chilean pesos per UF):

December 31, 2000

solely for the convenience of the reader, using the observed exchange rate reported by the Chilean Central Bank 

as of December 31, 2000 of Ch$ 573.65 to US$ 1.00.  The convenience translations should not be construed as 

representations that the Chilean peso amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into 

US dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

Inventories:

Inventory of materials in transit and operation and maintenance materials, are valued at the lower of price-level 

restated cost or net realizable value.  The cost of real estate projects under development, included in inventory, 

include the cost of land, demolition, urbanizing, payments to contractors and other direct costs.

The costs and revenues of construction in progress are accounted for under the completed contract method in 

accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 39 of the Chilean Association of Accountants and are included in current 

assets as their completion is expected in the short-term.

(j)  Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are shown at contributed amounts or cost, as appropriate, plus price-level 

restatement.

In 1986, an increase based upon a technical appraisal of property, plant and equipment was recorded in the 

manner authorized by the SVS in Circulars No.’s 550 and 566 dated October 15 and December 16, 1985, 

respectively, and Communication No. 4790, dated December 11, 1985.

Property, plant and equipment received in leasing which qualify as capital leases, are accounted as acquisitions, 

recording the total of the lease obligation and interest on an accrual basis.

  Depreciation expense is calculated on the revalued balances using the straight-line method over the estimated 

useful lives of the assets.

(k)  Power installations financed by third parties:

As established by D.F.L. 1 of the Ministry of Mines dated September 13, 1982, power installations financed 

by third parties are treated as reimbursable contributions. As such, the installations constructed using this 

mechanism form part of the Company’s plant and equipment.

Such installations made prior to D.F.L. 1 are deducted from Plant and equipment and their depreciation is charged 

to Power installations financed by third parties.

(l) 

Intangibles, other than goodwill:

Intangibles, other than goodwill, correspond mainly to easements, parent company contributions, and rights for 

the use of telephone lines and are amortized over 20 to 40 years in accordance with Technical Bulletin No.55 

of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

(m) Severance indemnity:

The severance indemnity that the Company is obliged to pay to its employees under collective bargaining 

agreements is stated at the present value of the benefit under the vested cost method, discounted at 9.5% and 

assuming an average employment span which varies based upon years of service with the Company.

(n) Operating income:

Energy supplied and unbilled at each year-end is valued at the selling price using the current rates and has 

been included in revenue from operations. The amount is presented in current assets as trade receivables. The 

corresponding cost is included in cost of operations.

(o) Deferred income taxes:

In accordance with circular No. 986 issued in 1991 by the SVS and Technical Bulletin No.41 issued by the Chilean 

Association of Accountants, the Company records the effects of deferred taxes resulting from significant timing 

differences that will not be fully offset when they reverse by similar new differences.

In accordance with circular No. 1466 issued on January 27, 2000 by the SVS, deferred taxes are presented 

in accordance with BT’s No.’s 60 and 68 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, which became effective 

as of January 1, 2000.

(p)  Accrued vacation expense:

In accordance with Technical Bulletin No.47 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, employee vacation 

expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

(q)  Reverse repurchase agreements:

Reverse repurchase agreements are included in “Other current assets” and are stated at cost plus interest and 

indexation accrued at year end, in conformity with the related contracts.

(r)  Cash equivalents:

The consolidated statement of cash flows have been prepared in accordance with the indirect method.

Investments considered as cash equivalents, as indicated in point 6.2 of Technical Bulletin No. 50 issued by the 

Chilean Association of Accountants, include time deposits, investments in fixed income securities classified as 

marketable securities, repurchase agreements classified as other current assets, and other balances classified as 

other accounts receivable with maturities less than 90 days.

For classification purposes, cash flows from operations include collections from clients and payments to suppliers, 

payroll and taxes.

(s)  Forward foreign exchange contracts:

As of December 31, 2000, the company has forward contracts with various financial institutions, which are 

recorded according to Technical Bulletin No. 57 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

(t)  Goodwill and negative goodwill:

  Goodwill and negative goodwill are determined according to Circular No. 368 of the SVS.  Amortization 

is determined using the straight-line method, considering the nature and characteristic of each investment, 

foreseeable life of the business and investment return, and does not exceed 20 years.

(u)  Pension and post-retirement beneftis:

Pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded in accordance with the respective Collective Bargaining 

Contracts of the employees based on the actuarially determined projected benefit obligation.

(v)  Bonds:

Bonds payable are recorded at the face value of the bonds.  The difference between the face value and the 

placement value, equal to the premium or discount, is deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds.

(w)  Reclassifications:

  Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform with the current 

year’s method of presentation.

NOTE 3  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:

(a)  Deferred taxes:

In accordance with Technical Bulletin’s No. 60 and 68 issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants and 

Circular No. 1,466 issued by the SVS, the Company has recorded the tax effects of temporary differences on a 

prospective basis beginning January 1, 2000.

The effect of accounting for deferred taxes according to criteria mentioned in the Technical Bulletins, resulted 

in the recognition in assets and liabilities complementary accounts amounting to ThCh$5,362,147 and 

ThCh$20,840,742, respectively, which are presented in the balance sheet as current and non-current, depending 

on the amortization period that management has determined. The amortization of the accumulated balances 

at the beginning of the period of the complementary assets and liabilities resulted in a net credit to income 

of ThCh$13,172.

In addition, the credit to earnings for new temporary differences generated during the period amounted to 

ThCh$3,950,449 (See Note 17.), which has been recorded in the Statement of Income under the item “Income 

taxes”.

(b)  Concession contracts:

As of January 1, 2000, the subsidiaries “Autopista del Sol S.A.” and “Autopista Los Libertadores S.A.”, adopted 

Technical Bulletin No. 67 of the Chilean Association of Accountants, which defines the accounting treatment 

of concession contracts.

The main effects of the application of these rules are related with determining the cost of the complementary 

works under the depreciation method, and the recognition of revenues from fares and services.
