provide benefits upon termination of employment. 

Chilean corporate law provides that a company’s board of directors is 

responsible for the management, administration and representation of a 

company in all matters concerning its corporate purpose, subject to the 

provisions of the company’s estatutos and the stockholders’ resolutions. 

In addition to the estatutos, the Board of Directors of Enersis S.A. has 

adopted regulations and policies that guide our corporate governance 

principles. The most important of these regulations and policies are the 

following:

The Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets, approved 

by the Board on January 31, 2002, which determine the rules of conduct 

that must be followed by members of the Board of Directors, senior 

management and other managers and employees who, due to the 

nature of their job responsibilities, may have access to sensitive or 

confidential information, with a view to contributing to transparency 

and to the protection of investors. These regulations are based on the 

principles of impartiality, good faith, placing the company’s interests 

before one’s own, and care and diligence in using information and acting 

in the securities markets.

The Charter Governing Executives (“Estatuto del Directivo”), approved 

by the Board on May 28, 2003, and the Employees Code of Conduct, which 

develop our principles and values, establish the rules governing dealings 

with customers and suppliers, and establish the principles that should be 

followed by employees in their work: ethical conduct, professionalism and 

confidentiality. They also impose limitations on the activities our senior 

executives and other employees may undertake outside the scope of their 

employment with us, such as non-compete limitations. 

The above regulations and rules reflect our core principles of 

transparency, respect for stockholders’ rights, and the duty of care and 

loyalty of the directors imposed by Chilean law 

Following is a summary of the significant differences between our 

corporate governance practices and those applicable to domestic issuers 

under the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange.  

Because we are a “controlled company” under the NYSE rules (a company 

of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a 

group or another company), we would not, were we a domestic U.S. 

company, be subject to the requirement that we have a majority of 

independent directors, or nomination and compensation committees.

Independence and functions of the Audit 
Committee

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, all members of the audit 

committee must be independent.  We will be subject to this requirement 

effective July 31, 2005. As required by Chilean Law, Enersis has a Comité 

de Directores composed of three directors. Although Chilean Law requires 

that a majority of the Comité de Directores (two out of three members) 

must be composed of directors who were not nominated by the controlling 

19

shareholder and did not seek votes from the controlling shareholder (a 

“non-control director”), it permits the Comité de Directores to be 

composed of a majority or even a unanimity of controlled directors, if 

there are not sufficient non-control directors on the board to serve on 

the committee.  Currently, our Comité de Directores is composed by one 

non-control director and by two directors appointed by the controlling 

shareholder.  Our Comité de Directores does not currently meet the 

independence requirements to which the audit committee of Enersis, 

whether the Comité de Directores or a different committee, will become 

subject on July 31, 2005, or the additional independence requirements 

to which the audit committees of U.S. companies are subject.  

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the audit committee of 

a U.S. company must perform the functions enumerated in NYSE Listed 

Company Manual Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07.  Non-U.S. companies 

are required to comply with Rule 303A.06 beginning July 31, 2005, but 

are not at any time required to comply with Rule 303A.07.  We do not 

currently comply with these rules, but we expect that, when we become 

subject to Rule 303A.06, we will comply with both the independence and 

the function requirements of the rule.

Risk Rating Agencies and Fitch, Moody´s and Standard & Poor´s as the 

International Private Risk Rating Agencies for Enersis for the year 2003. 

In its meeting held on March 7, 2003, the Committee was informed 

on the Experts´ Report on the capital increase prepared by the expert, 

Eduardo Walker.   

Furthermore, the Committee of Directors analyzed each quarter 

the Unconsolidated and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 

Company; examined the information on the operations referred to in 

Articles 44 and 89 of Law Nº 18,046 on Quoted Companies and prepared 

reports on these subjects; it also examined the system of remunerations 

and plans on the compensation to managers and senior executives. 

To conclude, during the 2003 period, the Committee of Directors of 

Enersis has fully covered the matters indicated in Article 50 bis of the Law 

Nº 18,046 on Quoted Companies.

Enersis / 2003 annual report

Financial activities

The year 2003 will be remembered as one of intense and productive 

financial activity. During this year we carried out an important Financial 

Strengthening Plan announced in October 2002 and conceived to 

fulfill three fundamental objectives: refinance the short and medium 

term debts, strengthen the equity base of the Company with a capital 

increase and improve the liquidity situation by means of the sale of some 

chosen assets.

Subsequently, in the month of November, Enersis launched a bond 

issue for US$ 350 million on the Yankee market to mature in ten years 

at a face rate of 7.375%. Simultaneously, the Company obtained  a new 

syndicated loan for US$ 500 million at a rate of LIBOR + 225 basis points 

led by the Bank of Tokio-Mitsubishi Ltd., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria 

S.A., Caja Madrid, Deutsche Bank AG, San Paolo IMI S.p.A and Santander 

Central Hispano Investment Securities Inc. 

These two operations allowed Enersis to amortize the entire 

syndicated loan received in May, eliminating all the restrictions and

in financial debts of 29%, from US$ 8,980 million as of December 31, 

2002 to US$ 6,407 million as of December 31, 2003. Furthermore, the 

equity base increased by US$ 2,104 million.

Refinancing of debt

The refinancing stage included different forms of financing such as 

new syndicated loans, bond issues on the local and international markets, 

prepayment of bank debts and other minor operations.

In the month of May, the first syndicated loan for the year was signed 

On the other hand, during July, Endesa Chile issued yankee bonds for 

US$ 600 million maturing in 10 and 12 years that permitted the payment 

of Euros 400 million in bonds on the European market (EMTN) and the 

prepayment of the syndicated loan received in May 2003. 

Subsequently, in October 2003, this subsidiary placed bonds on the 

local market for an amount of UF 8,000,000 which were utilized for the 

additional prepayment of US$ 197 million and improvement in the term 

of the credit of US$ 743 million mentioned above, leaving only US$ 284 

for a total of US$ 2,330 million. This consisted of US$ 1,587 million for 

million outstanding as of December.

Enersis at a rate of LIBOR + 350 basis points and US$ 743 million for its 

subsidiary Endesa Chile at a rate of LIBOR + 300 basis points, at a term of 

five years with a grace period of 30 months on payments of principal. 

Finally, in February 2004, Endesa Chile obtained  a new syndicated 

loan  of US$ 250 million at a rate of LIBOR + 115 basis points with which 

this company prepaid the entire amount pending mentioned above. 

In this case, the operation was headed by the following banks: 

BBVA, Dresdner, Kleinwort Wasserstein, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and 

Capital increase

Santander Central Hispano Investments Inc. and included the participation 

of a further 28 banks.

The increase in capital was done in three stages with the idea of 

offering the shareholders all the possible guarantees to permit them to 

take a well-informed decision.

This transaction included a series of restrictions such as obligatory 

prepayments, limits on new investments and compliance of financial ratios 

as well as taking the guarantee over the shares and the inter-company 

loan between Enersis and Chilectra. 

For this reason, in the month of July, with the funds received from the 

capital increase undertaken by the Company, we proceeded to prepay 

US$ 582 million of this loan. 

The first stage took place between May 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003. 

This consisted of a first period of a preferential offer during which the 

shareholders of the Company had the right to subscribe 2.9409 shares for 

each share they possessed. During this stage Endesa Spain capitalized a 

debt of US$ 1,406 million owed by Enersis and the minority shareholders 

contributed US$ 663 million, in a clear sign of support of the Company.

Finally, the third stage was carried out between November 20, 2003 

and December 20, 2003 and consisted of a second preferential offer

surpassing even the most optimistic expectations. In this respect, we must 

remember that when this operation was launched, the stock markets were 

still fairly depressed and some sectors were very skeptical.

Sale of assets

The divestment of assets satisfied the most optimistic expectations as the prices offered for the assets on sale were in the upper levels of those 

expected. Assets were sold for a total of US$ 757 million, including their debts.

Another important aspect was the creation of a Control of Debts and 

Capital Markets area that arose in response to the greater requirements of 

the international financial and securities markets, responsible for ensuring 

the compliance of all the obligations that emanate from the agreements 

on credits signed by the companies of the Group.

The corporate strategy applied to contain the inherent risks to an 

investment company in the electricity sector has been to manage the 

Company’s assets in a prudent and responsible manner. This policy has 

materialized in the past year in the strengthening of cash, reduction of 

debt, improvement of the ratios on quality of service, concentration of

of the Group, especially of the Chilean companies, on the local and 

international markets.

Credit Risk Rating

Enersis is an investment company whose assets are adequately 

diversified in five countries in the region, which provides a well-distributed 

corporate risk profile. 

In the same way, the financial cash flows of Enersis are equally 

diversified, with the added advantage that they are produced by the 

business of generation, distribution and other related activities, providing 

the financial situation of the Company with a greater stability.

A concrete measure in the global contex t of the proac tive 

management of the Group’s risk has been the creation of the Committee 

on Risks, established to identify the broadest variety of risks that could 

affect the Company and to rapidly propose the necessary measures to 

contain them. This Committee has drawn up a map of risks to the Group 

and is operating under the most modern techniques of Management of 

Corporate Risks. 

Amongst other activities, the Committee on Risks must periodically 

inform the Board of Directors on the various measures generated such 

as mechanisms to protect cash flows, assets and the continuity of the

business operation.

The above has been duly acknowledged by the local and international 

risk rating agencies. In fact, these institutions recognize, amongst others, 

that one of the strengths of the Group lies in the adequate portfolio of 

Both Enersis’ international and local risk rating, as of December

REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORS OF ACCOUNT

In accordance with the stipulations of Law Nº 18,046 on Limited Liability Stock 
Companies  and  in  compliance  with  the  mandate  conferred  by  the  Ordinary 
General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31 2003, we have proceeded 
to  examine  the  Financial  Statements  of  Enersis  S.A.  for  the  period  between 
January 1 and December 31 of the year 2003. 

Our task was centered on the verification, on a selective basis, of the match 
between the amounts included in the financial statements and the official regis-
ters of the Company and for this purpose we compared the figures presented 
in the general ledger against the grouping and classification spreadsheets, in 
order to subsequently verify that these amounts, which represent the totals of 
the accounts under one item, coincided with those included in the financial sta-
tements, We have no observations on this review.

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. and Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad S.A. (Endesa S.A.) are registered in the Securities Register under 
No. 0321 and 0114, respectively.

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 amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Chilean 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 

122

amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results 
could differ from those estimates.

In certain cases generally accepted accounting principles require that 
assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values.  The fair value 
is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold or the amount 
at which a liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction 
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  Where 
available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the 
basis for the measurement; however, where quoted market prices in active 
markets are not available, the Company has estimated such values based 
on the best information available, including using modeling and other 
valuation techniques.

b.  Years covered 

These financial statements reflect the Company’s financial position 
as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of its operations, 
the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for years ended 
December 31, 2002 and 2003.

c.  Constant currency restatement

The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Chilean 
Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the two-year ended December 31, 2003 
was approximately 3.94%.

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 25).

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 year 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, 2003

Index
113.36

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

e.  Time deposits and marketable securities

Time deposits are presented at original placement plus accrued interest 
and UF indexation adjustments, as applicable.  Marketable securities 
include investments in quoted shares that are valued at the lower of cost 
or market value.  The investments are in both short-term highly liquid fixed 
rate investment shares and mutual fund units valued at cost plus interest 
and indexation or redemption value as appropriate (Note 4).

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, 2002

Ch$
16,455.03
16,946.03

f.  Allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are classified as current or long-term, depending 
on their collection terms.  Current and long-term trade accounts receivable, 
notes receivable and other receivables are presented net of allowances 
for doubtful accounts (see Note 5).  Write-offs of uncollectible accounts 
amounted to ThCh$118,986,788 and ThCh$104,385,199 for the years 
ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.  In addition, the total 
sum owed by the companies that have gone into bankruptcy amounting 
to ThCh$821,469 (ThCh$714,833 in 2002) is included in the bad debt 
allowance estimation.

Comparative financial statements

g.  Inventories

For comparative purposes, the 2002 consolidated financial statements 
and the amounts disclosed in the related Notes have been restated in terms 
of Chilean pesos of December 31, 2003, purchasing power.

Convenience translation to U.S. dollars

124

The financial statements are stated in Chilean pesos.  The translations 
of Chilean pesos into US dollars are included solely for the convenience 
of the reader, using the observed exchange rate reported by the Chilean 
Central Bank as of December 31, 2003 of Ch$593.80 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.

d.  Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies 

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are detailed 
in Note 32.  These amounts have been stated at the observed exchange

(1)   Units of measurement used by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and 
Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) to express the weighted-average of multicurrency loan obligations 
granted using fixed currency rates to the US dollar, at a determined date.

Inventory of materials in transit, land 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 realization is expected in the short-term.

h.  Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at net replacement cost as 
determined by the former Superintendency of Electric and Gas Services 
(SEG) adjusted for price-level restatement in accordance with D.F.L. No.4 
of 1959.  The latest valuation under the D.F.L. 4 was in 1980.

Property, plant and equipment acquired after the latest valuation of net 
replacement cost are shown at cost, plus price-level restatement.  Interest 
on debt directly obtained to finance construction projects is capitalized 
during the year of construction (only in power generators).

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.

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has evaluated the 
recoverability of its foreign investments as required by Technical Bulletin 
No. 33 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.  It is the Company’s policy, 
when evidence exists of an other than temporary impairment of fixed assets, 
such that the Company’s operations are not expected to produce sufficient 
net cash flows, to recover all fixed asset costs, including depreciation, that 
the book values of those assets must be reduced to their net realizable 
values with a charge to non-operating expenses.  The Company has not 
identified impairments in the net book values of its property, plant and 
equipment.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

i.  Depreciation

o.  Revenue recognition

Depreciation expense is calculated on the revalued balances using 
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  
Depreciation expense was ThCh$459,015,845 and ThCh$396,415,628 as 
of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.  Depreciation expense of 
ThCh$444,302,226 and ThCh$382,896,216 was included in Cost of sales 
and ThCh$14,713,619 and ThCh$13,519,412 included in Administrative and 
selling expenses, respectively in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 
2003.

Revenue consists of revenue for electric power generation and 
distribution, among which is included energy supplied and unbilled at 
each year-end, valued at the selling price using the current rates which 
has been included in revenue from operations.  The unbilled amount is 
presented in current assets as trade receivables and the corresponding cost 
is included in cost of operations.  The Company also recognizes revenues 
for amounts received from highway tolls for motorized vehicles, income 
related to computer advisory services, engineering services and sale of 
materials.

j.  Leased assets

The leased assets, whose contracts have financial lease characteristics, 
are accounted for as an acquisition of property plant and equipment, 
recognizing the total obligation and the unrecorded interest.  Said assets 
do not legally belong to the Company, for which reason, as long as the 
purchase option is not exercised, it will not be able to freely dispose of 
them.

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 completed 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. 

Investments in related companies

Investments in related companies are included in “Other assets” 
using the equity method.  This valuation method recognizes in income 
the Company’s equity in the net income or loss of each investee on an 
accrual basis (Note 11).

p.   Income tax and deferred income taxes

At December 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company recorded current 
tax expense according to the tax laws and regulations in each country of 
ThCh$75,840,151 and ThCh$100,753,177, respectively and, additionally, 
it recorded the effect of temporary differences due to differed taxes of 
ThCh$59,182,460 (net credit of ThCh$9,162,996 in 2002) with a net 
credit to the year’s income. The Company records deferred income taxes 
in accordance with Technical Bulletin No.60 of the Chilean Association of 
Accountants, and with circular No.1466 issued on January 27, 2000 by the 
SVS, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax effects of 
temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and 
liabilities using the tax rates estimated to be in effect at the time of reversal 
of the temporary differences that gave rise to them.

q.  Accrued vacation expense

In accordance with Technical Bulletin No.47 issued by the Chilean 
Association of Accountants, employee vacation expense is recorded on the 
accrual basis.

125

r.  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.

Investments in foreign affiliates are recorded in accordance 
with Technical Bulletins No.42 and 64 of the Chilean Association of 
Accountants.

s.  Statements of cash flows

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has evaluated the 
recoverability of its foreign investments as required by Technical Bulletins 
No. 33 and No. 42 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.  The Company 
has not identified impairments in the net book values of its investments.

m.  Intangibles, other than goodwill

Intangibles, other than goodwill, correspond mainly to easements, 
adjustments to carrying value for spum-off assets, and rights for the use 
of telephone lines and are amortized in accordance with Technical Bulletin 
No.55 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.

The Consolidated Statements 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 cash 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.

n.  Severance indemnity

t.  Financial derivative contracts

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.

As of December 31, 2003 the Company and its subsidiaries have forward 
contracts, currency swaps, and interest rate swaps and collars with several 
financial institutions, defined as cover, which are recorded according to 
Technical Bulletin No.57 of the Chilean Association of Accountants.  Forward 
foreign exchange contracts gains and losses are recorded at estimated fair 
value with certain gains and losses deferred as assets or liabilities until 

consolidated financial statements 

settlement if the instrument qualifies as a hedge and included in earnings 
as “Other non-operating income and expense.”

3. change in accounting principles

There were no changes in accounting principles during the year ended 
December 31, 2002 and 2003 that would affect the comparison with the 
prior year financial statements.

u.  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.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2003 the Company evaluated the 
recoverability of its goodwill and negative goodwill value arising from 
investments abroad and in virtue of Technical Bulletin No.56 of the 
Chilean Association of Accountants, under IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets 
Value”, an impairment of goodwill and negative goodwill was recorded 
(See Note 13).

At December 31 2002, and as a result of the recoverability analysis 
specified in the previous paragraph, the Company amortized all of the 
goodwill and negative goodwill recorded by investments in Argentina and 
Brazil, since rebated flows from the Companys in those countries did not 
cover the goodwill and negative goodwill recorded. Effects in 2002 were a 
net charge to income of ThCh$238,798,904, net of minorities and included 
in the income statement under item amortization of negative goodwill.

v.  Pension and post-retirement benefits

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.

126

w.  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.

x. 

Investments in other companies

Investments in other companies are presented at acquisition cost 

adjusted for price-level restatement and they do not have market value.

y.  Research and development costs

Costs incurred by the Company in research and development are which 
general in nature (water-level studies, hydroelectric research, seismic-activity 
surveys) are expensed as incurred.  Costs incurred in performing studies 
related to specific construction projects are capitalized.

During the year end December 31, 2002 and 2003, there were no 

research and development costs incurred.

z.  Cost of share issue

Costs incurred to date associated with issuing and placing shares are 
recorded according to the provisions of Circular No. 1370 of 1998 of the 
Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. The amounts under these 
items are deducted from the premium account. Breakdown of the costs 
is shown in Note 28.

The debt refunding plan was completed in March 2003, which meant 
incurring in expenditures required to obtain the loans, which are amortized 
in the same term as the debt. Disbursements for this item amount to 
ThCh$56,100,807, classified in the statements of cash flow under item 
disbursements for financing, within the flow for financing activities.

Continuing with the company’s refunding plan, Enersis S.A. and its 
subsidiary Endesa Chile prepaid US$2,045 million of the last loan obtained 

in May 2003. These payments were made with funds from sale of assets, 
capital increase, issuance and placement of bonds and obtaining new 
loans.

As a result of these pre-payments, speedy amortizations of deferred 
expenses for ThCh$39,095,216 were made and charged to financial 
expenses.

 On May 15, 2003, Enersis S.A. and its subsidiary Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad S.A. and a body of 32 banks, subscribed syndicated loans to 
refinance bank debts in an amount of US$2.330 million.

Due to this refinancing, the obligations which expired in 2003 and 2004, 

were postponed until 2008, with capital amortizations from 2005.

The covenants which regulate these loans do not trigger prepayment 
of the obligations if the Company or its subsidiary Endesa Chile’s risk rating 
falls below investment grade.

On July 28 2003, Enersis S.A. prepaid US$ 582 million with resources 

from the sale of Río Maipo and the capital increase.

On November 24 2003, Enersis S.A. prepaid all the subscribed loan for 
May; this prepayment was made mostly with funds from a new loan of US$ 
500 million subscribed with six banks on November 14 2003 and from the 
issuance and placement of bonds worth US$ 350 million on the American 
market and a further US$ 155 million from other cash sources. This final 
payment released all the securities pledged to the first thirty two banks.

Similarly, Endesa Chile has prepaid US$ 458 million with resources from 

the sale of assets and issuance and placement of bonds.

23. shareholders’ equity

a.  Paid capital

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Enersis held on 
March 31st 2003 approved a capital increase of about US$2,000 million.  
The issue was registered in the Securities Register on May 23 2003 under 
No. 686 for Ch$1,473,225,403,563 pesos, divided into 24,382,994,488 
shares. The operation was structured as follows:

2)  Voluntary  redemption  of  local  bonds  (from  November  1  to  15),  in 
which holders of local 269 bonds (series B1 and B2) may exchange 
their bonds for Enersis shares, according to the value assigned by the 
aforementioned  independent  expert  and  at  placement  price  -  Ch$ 
60.4202 per share.

1)  First  preferential  underwriting  period  (from  May  31  to  June  30),  in 
which shareholders registered in the company register at last May 26 
have the option of taking up 2.9408 new shares for each old one at a 
price of Ch$60.4202 per share.

3)  Second  preferential  underwriting  period  (from  November  20  to 
December  20),  in  which  all  Enersis  shareholders  registered  five 
working  days  before  the  start  of  this  new  period,  except  for  the 
controlling partner and its members, may participate.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

In this phase, shareholders may take up the remaining shares that were 
not underwritten at the close of the preferential underwriting period and at the 
conclusion of the voluntary redemption of local bonds. In this period, new issue 
shares may only be paid in cash at the same price of Ch$ 60.4202 per share.

e.  Other reserves

Reserve for accumulated conversion differences  

(15,428,363)

Reserve for transaction entities using remeasurement method 

(10,243,322)

its final amount will be the amount actually underwritten and paid in.

At June 30 2003, end date of the first preferential underwriting 
period, 22,113,264,060 shares were underwritten for a sum of 
Ch$1,336,087,841,061 equivalent to 90.69% of the total issue. Of total 
shares underwritten in this preferential period, 14,406,840,511 shares 
were taken up by controlling shareholder Elesur for the equivalent of 
Ch$870,464,185,043 pesos and 7,706,423,549 shares by minority 
shareholders for the equivalent of Ch$465,623,656,018 pesos.

Elesur underwrote and paid in its shares by capitalizing the financial 
credits that it held with Enersis on the date of underwriting, which, according 
to expert report drawn up by Mr. Eduardo Walker, which was approved by 
the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on March 31 2003, amounts to 
86.84% of its par value, with the difference being recorded as a share 
premium of Ch$131,912,812,936.

The second preferential underwriting period in November 2003 involved 
the voluntary exchange of 269 bonds, series B1 and B2. Holders converted 
Ch$63,656,586,836 into the equivalent of 893,612,466 first issues shares; 
the amounts underwritten were determined by experts by capitalizing 
Ch$46,964,178,894 for series B1 and Ch7,028,065,024 for series B2, at 
Ch$ 60.4202 per share. This operation meant recording a share premium 
of Ch$6,247,821,056.

 During the second preferential underwriting period, 1,244,542,758 

shares equivalent to Ch$75,195,523,918 were subscribed.

The second share underwriting period concluded on December 30, 
determining the capital increase, in which 99.9% of the capital authorized 
by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, in other words 
24,360,146,365 shares, was subscribed, leaving Enersis’ capital with a 
total of 32,651,166,465 subscribed and paid in shares.

Within the compass of the financial strengthening plan, approved 
in October 2002, Enersis and its subsidiary Endesa Chile have obtained 
financing during this year by placing bonds on the local market and on the 
US market; this has enabled them to obtain financing with a fixed rate debt 
and prepay obligations with banks which had a variable rate. 

The above, together with prepayment of borrowings made using 
resources obtained from the capital increase, has reduced the variable 
debt by about US$1,550 million.

As a result of the above, hedging instruments covering variable rate 
borrowings, which were refinanced at fixed rates or prepaid, now have 
no associated debt and, therefore, appear in the derivatives schedule as 
investments.

Litigation and other legal actions:

Enersis S.A. Individual

i.  Mercedes Jimenez de Arechaga with Enersis S.A., Enersis S.A. Agencia 
Islas Caimán, Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., Chilectra S.A. Agencia 
Islas Caimán and Empresa Nacional de Electricidad.

On May 30, 2000 Pérez Companc S.A., today PECOM ENERGIA S.A. 
and PCI Power Edesur Holding Limited (together, “PECOM”) commenced 
an action against Endesa-Chile, Chilectra and Enersis (together, “Enersis 
Group”) before the Arbitration Court of the International Chamber of 
Commerce, Paris, France.  PECOM has petitioned the court to either:

Recognize its alleged right to nominate both a director and an alternate 
director in addition to the directors whom it already has the right to 
nominate in Distrilec Inversora; or State that PECOM and the Enersis Group 
should each have an equal number of directors in Distrilec Inversora.

On August 2, 2000, Enersis Group contested PECOM’s action and 
presented a counterclaim requesting the court to terminate several 
agreements among the parties.  Likewise, PECOM requested to be 
compensated by the Enersis Group if the agreements among the parties 
were terminated.  Based on the provisional estimates made by PECOM, the 
Arbitration Court determined that the amount of the suit is between US$ 
180-200 million.  The parties have presented their arguments, evidence 
and final allegations.  The Arbitration Court issued an arbitration award on 
September 2, 2002, ruling that Enersis Group and PECOM keep their rights 
to nominate equal number of board members in Distrilec Inversora S.A. 
and rejecting not only the Enersis Group’s counterclaim, but also Epsom’s 
claim for compensation of approximately US$ 200 millions.  Enersis Group 
challenged the arbitration award through an appeal for annulment, which 
was filed before the Uruguayan Court of Appeals.  The Republic of Uruguay 

is the domicile established by the Arbitration Court for all legal purposes.  
The Uruguayan Court of Appeals has concluded the probative year and is 
working on the final judgment.

On June 18, 2003, Montevideo’s Civil Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit, 
ruled on an unappealable basis that the ruling of the Arbitration Court 
of the International Chamber of Commerce stands, therefore the Arbitral 
Award remains definitive. 

In this context, on November 5 2003 notice has been served of the 
petition to regulate lawyers’ fees arising from challenging the arbitral 
award as invalid, petitioning that they be set at between US$1,270,000 
and US$15,210,000.

These amounts are based on differing circumstances. 

US$15,210,000 is calculated on the basis of the amount set for the 
Arbitral Award in the respective “Mission Record”. This figure is a claim 
enforced by Petrobrás Argentina at the end of the arbitration proceeding’s 
hearing period in the sense that, if the ruling declared the aforementioned 
agreements of shareholders null and void, said Groups should be 
indemnified with the above amount. Since the above ruling declared that 
the shareholders’ agreements remained in force, the International Chamber 
of Commerce rejected this subsidiary claim.

US$1,270,000, in contrast, is obtained based on the amount of Ur$400 
million set by the court for certain social security contributions demanded 
from the lawyers in Uruguay.  

Since both figures are not presented as subsidiary to each other, the 
Company’s Uruguayan lawyer understands that the most the plaintiff could 
aspire to is an award for the lower figure, i.e. US$1,270,000.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

Furthermore, when the remedy of invalidity was filed it stated that 
the matter was not susceptible to pecuniary valuation, and this was not 
disputed. 

On November 19 2003, a plea was raised in defense against the petition 

to regulate the fees.

On December 10 2003, notified on December 16 2003, the appeal for 
reconsideration of judgment filed by the Company’s side so that proceedings 
would move on to receiving evidence was disallowed, and the proceeding 
stayed in the award stage.

The appeal was filed on 08/27/02 by CMET against Enersis S.A., which 
seemed to be based on the fact that Enersis S.A., through various acts, 
facts or omissions, would have breached article 19 N°21 of the Political 
Constitution of the Republic, preventing CMET from developing its 
commercial activities.

On 09.17.02, Enersis S.A. informed the Court,  as requested, carrying out 
all the discharges it deemed reasonable in accordance with law and expressly 
rejected CMET’s accusations because of their unfounded nature. 

On 11.09.03, the Court ruled on this appeal, disallowing all of its parts, 

with costs. 

CMET filed an appeal for reconsideration of this verdict, with alternative 

appeals, which have still not been ruled on.  

Amounts involved:  Undeterminable.

Chilectra Internacional and Chilectra S.A., to international arbitration by the 
International Center for the Settlement of Differences Involving Investments

Enersis’ Subsidiaries:

Chilectra

At December 30 2003, there are legal actions for compensation for

consider significant, based on reports by its legal advisors and the fact 
that the Company has taken out insurance covering this kind of event, 
making provisions for the respective deductibles.

Ltda. Plaintiff: Carlos Alberto Cruz Claro y Compañía Ltda.

against the assessment and fines for Income Tax  (years 1997, 1998 and 
1999), and for IGV (year 1999).

iii.  Defendant: Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco Limitada, who also sued. 
Contents of lawsuit: Carlos Alberto Cruz Claro y Compañía Ltda. is the entity 
that provided professional architectural services for the Puerto Pacífico 
Project.  The other party considers that a clause of the contract, clause 12, 
stipulates an all event indemnity for sale of the land. Manso de Velasco 
asserts that payment only applies, if the architectural project is included 
in the sale, which is not the case. Amount: the Company’s being sued for 
UF 7,440 (Ch$127 million). Process status: Pleas for defense have been 
raised and the litigation is in the period allowed for producing evidence.  
Conciliation hearing took place.

Based on the decision by the Tax Court in Decision 06604-2002 of 
November 20, 2002, the Superintendency of Tax Administration SUNAT has 
issued Intendency Resolution 01501-50000031 on July 9, 2003 which, with 
regard to the most significant discrepancy, in other words, the objection 
to excessive tax allowance and cost taken on revalued property, plant and 
equipment in 1996 as a result of the merger, resolves to object to the 1996 
appraisal process and, therefore, to disregard the revaluation assigned to 
EDELNOR’S fixed assets, imputing income tax debts to the company for 
about (in thousands) US$35,466, US$5,300 and US$19,525 respectively, 
including fines and interest, for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999.

iv.  There are other legal actions involving expropriations affecting 
properties of Agrícola e Inmobiliaria Pastos Verdes Ltda. These involve 
complaints about the amount of compensation set. According to the 
company’s lawyers, none imply any contingencies for the company.

Edelnor S.A.

i.  At December 31 2003, the subsidiary has various legal actions filed 
against it for about US$ 10.4 million.  According to Management and its 
legal advisors, these legal actions will not result in significant liabilities for 
the financial statements of Inversiones Distrilima S.A. (the Company).

From November 2000 to July 2001, tax authorities reviewed the 
subsidiary’s Income Tax and General Sales Tax (IGV) for the period 
from 1995 to 1999. As a result of that review, in July 2001 the National 
Superintendency of Tax Administration (SUNAT) notified the subsidiary via 
several resolutions of assessments and fines regarding Income Tax and IGV 
for the periods under review.

162

From the items mentioned, the amount not accepted and not paid 
by the subsidiary concerns the Tax Administration’s pretension of applying 
Final Temporary Provision Seven of Law 27034 and, therefore, to disregard, 
as of 1999, the subsidiary’s right to a tax allowance for depreciation from 
the increase in value as a result of the revaluation of its assets resulting 
from the merger that took place in 1996, pursuant to Law 26283, even 
though the subsidiary has a Legal Stability Agreement that has stabilized 
its income tax system until the year 2006.  The amount claimed is about 
(in thousands) US$129,720.

On August 9 2001, the subsidiary commenced an arbitration proceeding 
against the Ministry of Energy and Mines, representing the State of Peru, 
according to the provisions of clause eight of the Legal Stability Agreement. 
On August 14 2001, the Ministry of Energy and Mines expressed its 
agreement to an arbitration proceeding and, subsequently, it expressed 
its agreement to the make-up of the Arbitration Court, whose members 
were appointed by agreement of the parties.  

On November 22 2001, the Arbitration Court issued it arbitration 
award whereby it declared that the subsidiary’s complaints regarding 
the inapplicability of Final Temporary Provision Seven of Law 27034 were 
well-founded, pursuant to the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the 
State of Peru. Therefore, the Arbitration Court recognizes the subsidiary’s 
right to a tax allowance for the depreciation on the increase in value from 
revaluations made in previous years.  

On August 1 2003, the subsidiary filed an appeal against the 
Intendency Resolution. The subsidiary appealed against payment of the 
above items. 

By means of Note 722-2003-2H3100 of August 27 2003, Tax Administration 
sent the case file of the appeal lodged by the subsidiary with the Tax Court, 
after having evaluated compliance with admissibility requirements.

On September 11 2003, the subsidiary lodged a argument brief with 
the Tax Court expanding the appeal. On the same date, the subsidiary 
lodged an argument brief attaching evidence defending the position put 
forward in the appeal.

To date, the subsidiary is waiting for a pronouncement by the Tax Court. 
Management and the legal advisors of the Company and subsidiary are 
of the opinion that there are solid arguments for the Tax Court to issue a 
pronouncement in due time that will be favorable to the interests of the 
subsidiary.

ii.  On December 17 2003, the subsidiary received Assessment 012-003-
0001833, whereby the Tax Administration intends to collect (in thousands) 
US$3,758 for an alleged higher Income Tax for year 1996, and (in thousands) 
US$1,561 for an alleged infringement of numeral 1 of Article 178 of the Tax 
Code, consisting of declaring false figures or data that influence assessment 
of the income tax liability for the year 1998.

This assessment was issued in compliance with the provisions of 
Intendency Resolution 1501-50000031, subject of appeal case file 5047-
2003.

To date, the subsidiary is in the process of preparing a recourse of 
complaint, whose deadline for presentation expires on January 16 2004. 
Management and the legal advisors of the Company and its subsidiary are 
of the opinion that there are solid arguments for obtaining a result that is 
favorable to the interests of the subsidiary.

Cerj S.A.

On the basis of management estimates and the legal counsel opinion, 
Cerj established a provision of ThUS$232,346 of which ThUS$60,136 relates 
to labor lawsuits related to overtime, unjustified layoffs and hardship pay, 
ThUS$43,528 to civil lawsuits filed by former customers for interest and 
penalties charged on late payments of energy bills and ThUS$128,682 to 
tax lawsuits, related to collection of taxes and penalties.

SUNAT did not void its decisions as a result of the arbitration award, 
so, on December 3, 2001, the subsidiary filed an appeal in the Tax Court

Dirección Provincial de Rentas, Provincia de 
Neuquén versus TGN (Transportadora de Gas 
del Norte S.A.).  Resolution regarding Stamp 
Tax sum that eventually should be paid jointly 
by TGN and ENDESA.
TGN requested a precautionary measure before 
the Supreme Court of Argentina to paralyze the 
proceeding filed by the Province of Neuquen, 
which was accepted.  Therefore the administrative 
complaint proceeding is paralyzed.

N/A
 On December 27, 2001, Empresa Nacional 
de Electricidad S.A. was notified of an 
arbitration to resolve controversies related 
to insurance policy N°94.676, issued by 
Compañía de Seguros Generales Consorcio 
Allianz, currently AGF/Allianz Chile Compañía 
de Seguros Generales S.A., in favor of Endesa, 
for the construction of the Ralco Hydroelectric 
Plant. 
 Endesa replied to the complaint sustaining 
that the plaintiff is distorting the facts, omitting 
information that was provided by Endesa-Chile, 
altering the risks covered by the contract and is 
unaware of the stipulations in the policy; that 
the flood that affected the Cofferdam was an 
insurable risk, included in the policy, and 
therefore it should be rejected since it has no 
foundation in fact or in law.
ThCh$6,531,800 (ThUS$11,000).

iii.  Hqi Transelec Chile S.A. vs. Endesa.

Lawsuit Contents: Action by arbitration proceeding on the additional 
usage charges for the connections of Endesa’s customers, Codelco Salvador, 
since October 1, 2001, CMP (Cia. Minera del Pacifico), Emelat and Eso La 
Silla, since January 1, 2002, for the usage of transmission facilities by the 
plaintiff.

Transelec requests that Endesa be sentenced to pay $3,617,831,425 
(US$4,955,933), which Endesa would owe it by way of additional usage 
charge, for Endesa’s usage of its transmission system to supply electricity to 
the abovementioned customers. Endesa states that said usage charge is not 
applicable, because the sectors of the transmission system it uses to provide 
such supply is within the area of influence of Endesa’s Power Stations, and 
as provisioned in the Basic Usage Charge Agreement signed with Transelec, 
Endesa is entitled to circulate electricity for those customers without paying 
additional usage charges. Endesa also argues that the Additional Usage 
Charge Agreement for said customers expired along with the validity of 
the past supply agreements, and therefore a new additional usage charge 

agreement should be entered into with Transelec; in the meantime, the 
law should be abided by regarding the sectors contained within the area 
of influence of Endesa’s Power Stations, and neither payment of additional 
usage charges, nor payment of basic usage charges regarding backflow 
sectors are applicable.

 Process Status: On July 30, 2003, the Court pronounced sentence. The 
ruling was in favor of ENDESA and completely rejected the action in all its 
parts, unanimously. HQI TRANSELEC filed a complaint and dismissal recourse 
in the form. ENDESA became a party arguing against the recourse, and 
requested a joint hearing.  The recourses were heard in Court on January 
9 2004. The trial hearing is pending.

iv.  Arbitration proceeding for Breach of Contract and Forced Performance 
Thereof filed by Empresa Eléctrica Capullo S.A. against Endesa. Judge Mr. 
Sergio Urrejola

Parties: 

Plaintiff 
: 
Defendant  : 

Empresa Eléctrica Capullo S.A.
Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad S.A.

Two actions are being brought in the lawsuit:

The first, contained in the main petition, is for breach of contract, 
enforced performance thereof and a subsidiary action for compensation 
for damages: The arbitrator is petitioned:

1.-  To declare that Endesa has not performed the contract that is the 
subject of this litigation (contract dated April 1 1995 for the purchase of 
electricity).

2.-  Declare that Endesa must pay Capullo Ch$ 1,243,489,606, plus current 
interest, by reason of payment of the purchase price for energy supplied to 
Endesa from January 1998 to March 2000, inclusive, or, alternatively, the 
amounts and interests determined by the arbitrator on the merits of the 
case; all of this plus any VAT that might apply according to the respective 
law and as determined by the arbitrator;

163

3.-  As an alternative to the above two petitions, declare that Endesa should 
be sentenced to pay Ch$1,243,489,606 by way of compensation for damages 
caused as a result of failing to comply with said payment obligation, plus 
legal interests and adjustment from the date on which the lawsuit was 
filed to its actual payment, or, alternatively, the amount, adjustment and 
interest determined by the Arbitrator on the merits of the case plus VAT, if, 
as determined by the Arbitrator, said tax should be imposed.

The second, which is contained in the lawsuit’s first accessory petition, 
is for compensation for damages due to breach of the aforementioned 
contract for the sale of energy during the period from January to December 
1997 and petitions that Endesa should be sentenced to pay Ch$ 170,419,646 
plus legal interest and readjustment from the date on which the lawsuit 
was filed to its actual payment, or, alternatively, the amount, adjustments 
and interest determined by the Arbitrator on the merits of the case plus 
VAT, if so considered and decreed by the Arbitrator.  

Endesa contested the lawsuit, stating that it owes nothing to Capullo, 
since the price stipulated in the Contract for the Sale of Energy was the 
differential cost of energy determined by CDEC-SIC, and that the differential 
costs for the periods in the lawsuit have not been officially determined by 
CDEC-SIC, since there are differences for determining said prices that are 
pending a resolution by the Ministry of Economy.  It also points out that 
the values determined by CDEC-SIC, which are referred to in the lawsuit, are 
referential values and have not been officially approved, so the difference

 Arbitration Proceeding Minera Los Pelambres against Endesa.  San 

v. 
Isidro – Piuquenes Line.

Parties: 

Plaintiff 
: 
Defendant  : 

Arbitrator 

: 

Minera Los Pelambres
Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad S.A.
 Mr. Orlando Poblete Iturrate

Summary of proceedings: On October 28 1996 Endesa and Minera Los 
Pelambres signed a contract for the supply of electrical power and energy. 
In this contract, ENDESA promised to build several installations to provide 
this supply, including a 220 kV line between the San Isidro Substation and 
the Los Piuquenes Substation. According to the contract, Pelambres had an 
option to purchase that line, which it exercised. The purchase was executed 
on June 12 2002, by a public deed drawn up and registered by Notary Public 
Raúl Undurraga Laso. This purchase contract contains several declarations 
by ENDESA in the sense that the line is in perfect working order and that it 
was designed and built under criteria defined in the supply contract.

Summary of proceedings: An incident occurred in Fundo La Esperanza 
de Marchigue owned by the plaintiffs on August 21 1998. The lawsuit is 
based on the fact that, as a result of these incidents, the defendants filed 
a criminal complaint for kidnapping, which criminal complaints were 
dismissed because of a lack of merit, after hearing the plaintiffs.  

The plaintiffs consider that the criminal complaints that were dismissed 
have caused them moral damages for which they seek the following 
indemnities:

Francisco Javier Errázuriz Talavera 
Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ovalle 
Matías Errázuriz Ovalle 

Ch$ 700,000,000.-
Ch$ 350,000,000.-
Ch$ 350,000,000.-

The total lawsuit is for Ch$ 1,400,000,000.- (US$ 2,153,846.-)

Process status: All defendants notified. Pleas for defense raised. 
Plaintiff’s answer lodged. Rejoinder given. Parties summoned for 
conciliation hearing, notification pending.

vii.  Ordinary Proceedings for Invalidity and Other Actions filed by Sociedad 
Punta de Lobos S.A. against Endesa, Celta and Chilean Treasury in the 30th 
Civil Court of Santiago. Case Number 4061-2002.

164

Minera Los Pelambres considers that the declarations made by ENDESA 
in the line purchase contract were not true, since the line has evidenced 
several technical problems that would seem to be the result of design faults, 
so it has sued ENDESA petitioning that ENDESA should be sentenced to pay 
for the damages caused, which it considers to be of two types:

:  
Contents of lawsuit  : 

:  Sociedad Punta de Lobos S. A.

Plaintiff 
Endesa, Celta and Chilean Treasury.
On August 22 2002 Endesa and Celta were 
notified of a lawsuit filed by Sociedad Punta 
de Lobos S.A. in the 30th Civil Court of Santiago 
against Endesa, Celta and the Chilean Treasury.

Those involving the cost of repairing the line, which it estimates to be 

US$ 22,752,263.

Those arising from the decrease in equity of Minera Los Pelambres 
because of having purchased a line in conditions other than those that 
it could study when it opted to purchase it, which it estimates to be US$ 
6,486,009.

The total amount of the lawsuit is US$ 29,238,272.

 Alternatively, if this lawsuit is not accepted, it sues ENDESA petitioning 
that the latter should be sentenced to pay damages arising from its liability 
as designer and builder of the line, which damages it estimates to be the 
same as the amounts specified above.

Process status: Discussion period has been concluded. The conciliation 
hearing took place. There was no conciliation. Term for presenting evidence 
is running.

vi.  Errázuriz Francisco Javier and Others against Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad and Others.

Suit for compensation for damages in the 24th Civil Court of Santiago. 

The lawsuit petitions that the assign and transfer, or any legal 
transaction by Endesa to Celta, whether for valuable consideration or not, 
whose object is the real estate by nature or adhibition that makes up or 
forms part of the maritime concession given to Endesa in the sector of 
Punta Patache, should be declared absolutely null and void.  

It also petitions the forfeiture of the maritime concession as Endesa has 
committed a series of violations of the law regulating maritime concessions 
that constitute grounds for forfeiture of the concession, and, therefore, all 
construction built on the concession’s land must be incorporated cost-free 
into the equity of the Chilean Treasury, and that Sociedad Punta de Lobos is 
entitled to obtain a reward, recompense or prize amounting to 20% of the 
net value of those assets for having recovered them for the Treasury. 

Endesa maintains that the lawsuit is unfounded, since there has never 
been any transaction by Endesa alienating the maritime concession or 
the properties making up the concession to Celta; that the buildings or 
improvements built by Celta on the properties of the concession have 
been done in performance of a mandate given to it by its parent company 
Endesa to act on its own behalf; that the plaintiff has no legal interest in 
the invalidity filed, since it is not party to the concession contract.

Amount: There is no given amount for the litigation.

contracts to be entered into on the maritime concession given to Endesa 
and on the real estate by nature or adhibition that makes up or forms part 
of said concession. 

Endesa y Celta raised dilatory pleas consisting of the incompetence of the 
Court to hear the case. A) With regard to the declaration of forfeiture because 
it is a matter exclusively within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National 
Defense B) with regard to the declaration of invalidity, because, if there is any 
contravention, the law considers another penalty to be imposed by another 
authority other than the Courts, and C) with regard to the reward or prize, 
because it is the exclusive prerogative of the President of the Republic. 

Process status:  On June 19 2003, the plaintiff sought and procured 
that the Court decree a precautionary measure prohibiting transactions or 
contracts to be entered into with regard to Puerto Patache and ordered the 
Undersecretary for the Navy to be notified, which was done. 

By a decision on July 14 2003, the Court specified the scope of the 
precautionary measure decreed in the proceeding in the sense that it does 
not prevent Puerto Patache from being transferred, which decision was 
appealed by Punta de Lobos, since the injunctions against further petitioned 
moves had been denied twice.

The Court endorsed the plea of incompetence with regard to forfeiture 
and reward, but maintained its competence with regard to the invalidity 
action and ordered pleas to be raised in defense against the petition.

 With regard to the substance of the case, the discussion stage is over 
and the evidence submission stage has concluded; on November 6 2003 
the Court summoned the parties to hear the verdict.  

The plaintiff appealed.  Endesa and Celta also appealed.

ix.  Sociedad Punta de Lobos against Chilean Treasury, Case Number 553-
2003, in 21st Civil Court of Santiago.

On September 8 2003, the Court of Appeal endorsed the appeal filed 
by Punta de Lobos with regard to the plea of incompetence endorsed in 
the first instance.

 As a result of the above, Endesa and Celta raised pleas in defense 
against the second and third petitions and then Punta de Lobos lodged its 
answer; the enjoinder procedure which terminates the discussion stage to 
give rise to the evidence stage is still pending.

Procedures for the petition by Endesa and Celta to have the 

precautionary measure lifted continued in parallel fashion.

viii. Ordinary Proceeding for Performance of Contract Filed by Sociedad 
Punta de Lobos S.A. against Endesa, Celta and Terminal Marítimo Minera

Summary of Proceedings: The plaintiff petitions that Supreme Decree 
139 of 2002 of the Ministry of Defense, Undersecretary for the Navy, should 
be declared invalid by public law, since it was issued contravening the 
provisions that the Law considers for its issuance; that the aforementioned 
Supreme Decree 139 has not entered into effect in a valid fashion, and, 
therefore, it cannot have any legal effect.

Decree 139 endorsed the expansion of Endesa’s Maritime Concession 
for shipping salt through Puerto Patache, which was one of the conditions 
stipulated in the promise of purchase/sale signed by Endesa and Celta and 
Terminal Marítimo Puerto Patache S.A..

Process status:  The Treasury was notified of the lawsuit. The plaintiff 
obtained a precautionary measure to “immediately stay any effect of decree 
139 of 2002 of the Ministry of Defense’s Undersecretary for the Navy, and 
said agencies must refrain from performing any administrative action, or 
action of any kind, that impinges on or is related to said Decree.”  

Summary of proceedings: The plaintiff petitions that forced performance 
of the so-called “Bidding Contract” called by Celta and in which both the 
latter and Endesa, Terminal Marítimo Patache S.A. and Punta de Lobos 
S.A. were involved, should be ordered; that the act whereby all the bids 
submitted to Celta on occasion of the Puerto Patache bidding process were 
rejected is inexistent, or alternatively absolutely invalid, or alternatively 
imputable to Punta de Lobos, since it comes from exercising a right that 
is only apparent and not real and is based on catering to an interest that 
has not been protected by the Regulations regulating said bidding; that 
the Purchase and Sale Contract of November 30 2001 between Celta and 
Endesa, as selling promisors, and Terminal Marítimo Minera Patache, as 
purchaser promisor, is invalid; that the intent manifested by the bidders 
Endesa and Celta in the Contract of Promise of Sale/Purchase of November 
30 2001, entered into with Terminal Marítimo Minera  Patache S.A., was 
a tacit acceptance of the bid submitted by Punta de Lobos in the Puerto 
Patache bidding process.

Endesa maintains that the lawsuit is unfounded since, according to the 
bidding conditions, both Endesa and Celta were fully empowered to reject 
all bids submitted in the bidding process, without giving their reasons; 
that there has never been any contract, not even a tacit one with Punta de 
Lobos, so there are no grounds for requesting that a non-existent contract 
that does not exist be performed.

After several incidences, the court accepted Endesa’s participation as 

a contributory third party with the Treasury.

Amount: Undeterminable.

The discussion stage is over, in other words, the Treasury and Endesa 
raised pleas in defense asking for the lawsuit to be rejected. Punta de Lobos 
answered and the former two made their rejoinders, with the court order 
for evidence having been issued on October 17  2003.

With regard to the precautionary measure, Endesa’s petition for it to 

be declared null and void, is pending a decision.

x.  Other contingencies

There are other proceedings for lesser amounts that in aggregate 
amount to ThCh$2,500,013 at December 31 2003 (ThCh$ 1,914,034 in 
2002).

The plaintiffs filed a constitutional action against the generating 
company, alleging that, on June 21 2003, it committed an illegal, arbitrary 
act in handling the dam’s floodgates.

Process status: The suit was notified on December 31 2003. Since 
procedures were violated in serving the notice, the Court was petitioned to 
declare the notice null and void. This petition has still not been ruled on. 

Pangue raised a plea in defense that the plaintiffs are not principals 
of the constitutional actions, that the remedy is unintelligible, that there 
is no violation of constitutional guarantees, that it is inadmissible because 
the grounds or facts on which the plaintiffs base their suit are unjustified.

Process status: Information on remedy obtained by Intendent and by 

Pangue S.A., steps and documents pending to hear the remedy.

Summoned to hear sentence.
Fine of ThCh$14,870 (500 UTM).

Summary of proceedings: The plaintiffs, all former shareholders of 
Pangue S.A., petition that the contract signed by Pangue S.A. and Endesa 
on September 25 2000, called “Establishment of Voluntary Easement”, 
should be declared invalid, because, in the opinion of the plaintiffs, it suffers 
from several defects that are grounds for invalidity. They assert that they 
have active competency to sue because they were shareholders of Pangue 
S.A. when said contract was signed. They assert that, as a result of that 
contract, their shares in Pangue S.A. dropped in value, and therefore they 
are suing for Ch$2,521,996,400 (US$4,424,555). They also assert that, if 
said contract had not been signed, Pangue S. A. would have distributed 
dividends to the plaintiffs for US$ 1,742,211.

It must be pointed out that, via the aforementioned contract, Pangue 
S.A. established a voluntary easement on its water rights so as to allow the 
tailwater of Endesa’s Ralco Power Station, located upstream, to use the 
end part of the Pangue dam’s tailwater.

iv. File No. 2753-4000/97

Cause: Resolution regarding Stamp Tax (includes taxes, interest and 
fines), amount that eventually must be paid by TGN and Endesa, according 
to gas transportation contracts signed by both companies on October 17, 
1995 and February 20, 1998.  Notified on March 27, 2001.  Reconsideration 
will be requested.  TGN filed a precautionary measure with the Supreme 
Court of Argentina to interrupt the procedure initiated by the Providence 
of Neuquén, which was accepted, and in consequence, the administrative 
claim proceeding is currently pending.

Amounts involved: ThCh$3,156,128 ($Arg13,943,572.54).

v.  Cause: On June 12, 2003, an arbitration proceeding was filed were 
against San Isidro and Endesa-Chile by Minera Los Pelambres in order for the 
arbitrator to declare the non-fulfillment of San Isidro with the energy and 
power supply contract originally signed by Endesa-Chile with Pelambres on 
October 28, 1996 and which on January 26, 2000, Endesa-Chile assigned to 
San Isidro, leaving it subsidiarily obligated for the obligations arising from 
the contract with San Isidro.  The complaint is founded on interruptions and 
unavailability of electricity during 2001 and 2002, which according to the 
contract are penalized with fines, which San Isidro has refused to pay.

Process status: Evidence issues set and term for presenting evidence 

is running.

Amounts involved: ThCh$1,589,745 (US$2,677,241) plus the 
readjustment established in the contract and common interest up to the 
date of the effective payment.

also requests that the concession be taken 
away from Endesa-Chile due to alleged violations 
of the laws that regulate marine concessions, 
and that all assets constructed on the concession 
lands be converted to property of the 
Government. Endesa-Chile contends that the 
plaintiff lacks a legal interest in its claim due to 
the fact that it is not a party to the 
concession contract.
On August 28, 2002 the Tribunal declared as a 
precautionary measure the prohibition to take 
action or execute contracts in respect to the 
marine concession granted to Endesa-Chile and 
in respect to the real estate which by nature 
composes or forms part of that concession.

Process status 

: 

On September 8, 2003, the Court of Appeals accepted the recourse of 
appeal filed by Punta de Lobos regarding the exception of in competence 
accepted in first instance.

As a result of the above, Endesa and Celta defended the suit regarding 
the second and third claims to which Punta de Lobos replied, and the 
rejoinder proceeding is still pending which ends the discussion stage and 
commences the evidence stage.

Similarly, the request by Endesa and Celta for the lifting of the 

precautionary measures continued.

 Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A.

Federal Public Revenues Administration - General Tax Services (FPRA-

i. 
GTS)

On December 28, 2000 the Federal Public Revenues Administration 
- General Tax Services (FPRA-GTS) notified Hidroeléctrica El Chocon S.A. that 
it owed ThCh$352,055 of taxes related to failure to withhold income tax on 
certain payments made abroad for a bank loan obtained in 1994. It was also 
determined that Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. must pay ThCh$799,868 for 
related accrued interest calculated as of December 20, 2000.  Hidroeléctrica 
El Chocón S.A. did not make these payments as it considered them relating 
to foreign source income and therefore not subject to taxes.  Hidroelectrica 
El Chocon S.A. entered a plea in which it objected to payment of the taxes.  
FPRA-GTS has also fined Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. ThCh$246,438 which 
Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A appealed by on February 20, 2001.

On December 28, 2000 Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. was notified 
that it owed accrued interest related to value-added-tax for the year from 
December 1993 to July 1995 amounting to ThCh$159,302 as of December 
11, 2000, as well as an imposed fine of ThCh$210.111.  On February 20, 
2001 Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. filed an appeal with the courts under the 
premise that Chilean law does not require payment of fines, including accrued 
interest, for obligations or infractions committed before July 31, 1995. On 
February 20 2001 the Company filed an appeal in the Nation’s Tax Court.

ii.  Royalties

On June 26, 2000, Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. was notified of a 
lawsuit for interest to be paid related to royalties, initially amounting to 
ThCh$356,290.  Additionally, on September 27, 2000, the Company was 
notified of a new complaint from the province of Neuquén against the 
State and hydroelectric generators of Comahue to obtain royalties earned 
on accumulated funds in the Salex Account.  The complaint does not state 
the precise amount or date as of which the sums claimed are considered 
as owed, but seeks charges from each generator equal to 12% of the funds 
contributed to the account.

iii.  Provincial Revenue Department of the Province of Buenos Aires

On September 10 2001 the Company received a notice from the 
Provincial Revenue Department of the Province of Buenos Aires of an official 
assessment of ThCh$ 347,567 (which does not include interests or fines) 
for tax on gross income from tax periods from February 1995 to December 
1998. The differences claimed are due to: a) failure to pay tax in the Province 
of Buenos Aires from February 1995 to June 1996 on contracts entered into 
by the Company, and b) the use of a lower rate than should have been 
applied, according to the Treasury. On October 25 2001, the Company 
included a debt of ThCh$ 128,906 in the easy payment system provided for 
in Law 12.727. On December 28 2001, the Provincial Revenue Department 
notified the Company of Resolution 655/01, which (i) determined that the 
Company had a tax shortfall of ThCh$197,389 for tax on gross income during 
the tax periods from February to December 1995, January to December 
1996, January to December 1997 and January to December 1998; and (ii) 
imposed a fine on the Company of ten percent of the amount that allegedly 
was not paid. On January 22 2002, the Company filed an appeal asserting 
that the amount included in the extended period payment system had not 
been computed and the reasons why the rate specified by the Provincial 
Revenue Department should not be applied.

The Management of Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., as well as its legal 
advisors, are of the opinion that the claims made by the aforementioned 
tax authorities are unfounded, so these issues will probably not give rise to 
any significant adverse effect on the Company’s equity and results recorded 
at December 31 2003.

Hidroinvest S.A.

On December 27, 2000 Hidroinvest S.A. was notified that it owed 
tax of ThCh$782,157 for gains made in 1993 on the difference between 
the acquisition cost and transfer price of bonds, accrued interest of 
ThCh$1,682,419 and related fines of ThCh$547,510. On February 19, 2001, 
Hidroinvest S.A. filed an appeal against the notice. On September 12 2002, 
Hidroinvest S.A. was notified of the registration of the General Property 
Restraining Order on the Company’s properties as part of a precautionary 
procedure commenced by AFIP-DGI pursuant to the provisions of article 
111 of law 11.683, as a result of the obligation to pay the above amounts. 
An appeal was filed against the resolution that decided the admissibility

2002. Likewise, on July 10 2003, the Nation’s Tax Court issued a decision 
confirming the precautionary measure and Hidroinvest S.A. was notified 
on December 29 2003.

Hidroinvest S.A.’s legal advisors are of the opinion that these issues will 
probably not result in any significant negative impact on the Company’s 
equity and results at December 31 2003

Central Costanera S.A.

Central Costanera S.A. has a debt obligation corresponding to an 
agreement related to Work Order No. 4322 (the “Agreement”). Central 
Costanera S.A. has fixed the obligation at the rate of one peso equal to 
one US dollar in accordance with applicable laws.   However, certain laws 
have excluded several obligations from this fixed exchange rate, and should 
the Secretary of Energy rule that the obligations of Central Costanera S.A 
be excluded, an appeal would be filed.

Central Costanera S.A. considers that the obligation resulting from the 
Agreement does not dovetail with any of the hypotheses provided for in 
the aforementioned decree and, even in the event that it was understood 
to do so, there are solid grounds for deciding the unconstitutionality of the 
aforementioned decree.

In November 2002, the Tax Court issued its decision stating that: (i) SUNAT 
will have to review and make a new pronouncement considering the provisions 
of the Arbitration Award of April 22 2002, which was favorable to Edegel S.A., 
and which involves deducting the depreciation due to revaluation of the fixed 
assets and (ii) decided against it in other issues brought by SUNAT.  

On  July  9  2003,  Edegel  S.A.  was  notified  by  the  National 
Superintendency of Tax Administration (SUNAT) of Intendency Resolution 
1501–150032 regarding its review of the tax notes required by the Tax 
Court for years 1996 to 1999. The total amount of the new tax note is 
about US$160 million, mainly arising from: (i) non-recognition of the 
revaluation of Edegel S.A.’s fixed assets and, consequently, non-deduction 
of their respective depreciation, (ii) non-deduction of interest and exchange 
rate difference on loans related to the purchase of Lajas Holding’s shares, 
since they are not associated with generation of taxable income and 
(iii) capitalization of overheads associated with fixed assets (“taxes on 
expenses”). On August 1 2003, the company filed an appeal in the Tax 
Court, whose decision to date is still pending.

 It has to be mentioned that management estimated and recorded a 
provision for contingencies of about US$16.5 million at December 31 2003 
(about US$16.1 million at December 31 2002) for all those items mentioned 
in the resolution referred to in the previous paragraph and appealed in the 
tax court, which, in the opinion of its tax advisors, has very little chance of 
success (points (ii) and (iii) above).

Edegel S.A.

i. 

Edegel / SUNAT

From November 2000 to October 2001, tax authorities reviewed the 
Subsidiary’s income tax and general sales tax (IGV) for the period from 
1995 to 1999. As a result of that review, in December 2001 the National 
Superintendency of Tax Administration (SUNAT) notified the subsidiary of 
its comments via several Resolutions of Assessments and Fines regarding 
Income Tax and IGV for the periods under review.

From the items mentioned, the amount not accepted and not paid 
by the subsidiary mainly concerns the Tax Administration’s desire to apply 
Final Temporary Provision Seven of Law 27034 and, therefore, to disregard, 
as of 1999, the subsidiary’s right to a tax allowance for the depreciation 
from the increased value attributed as a result of the revaluation of its 
assets resulting from the purchase of the subsidiary 1995, pursuant to 
Law 26283, even though the subsidiary has a Legal Stability Agreement 
that has stabilized its income tax system until the year 2005, as has been 
mentioned in Note 8(a). The total estimated amount claimed is about 
Th$61,550,412 (MUS$84,804).

On February 11 2002, the subsidiary commenced an arbitration 
proceeding against the State of Peru, represented by CONITE, according 
to the provisions of clause eight of the Legal Stability Agreement. On 
April 22 2002, the Arbitration Court issued it arbitration award whereby 
it declared that the subsidiary’s complaints regarding the inapplicability 
of Final Temporary Provision Seven of Law 27034 were well-founded, 
pursuant to the Legal Stability Agreement signed with the State of Peru. 
Therefore, the Arbitration Court recognized the subsidiary’s right to deduct 
the depreciation from the increased value assigned by revaluations made 
in previous years, from the income tax base.  

In spite of the award, the litigious tax proceeding continued, so, on 
July 12 2002, the subsidiary filed an appeal in the Tax Court against the 
resolutions of assessment and fines regarding income tax (years 1996, 
1997, 1998 and 1999).

On April 28 2003 the company filed rectifying tax returns of its sworn 
annual income tax returns for years 2000 and 2001 – pending inspection 
and review – adopting the criterion of the most recent Intendency 
Resolution regarding the interests and exchange rate difference on loans 
linked to the purchase of Lajas Holding’s shares and the tax on expenses 
and SUNAT’s original criterion regarding the economic life of the assets. 
As a result, it made an additional payment of S/21,196,000 (equivalent to 
US$6,056,000 and Ch$3,600 million) charging it to the provision referred 
to in the previous paragraph.

Similarly, on November 14 2003 the company presented a 
partial discontinuance of the appeal filed in the Tax Court against the 
aforementioned Intendency Resolution, in order to avail itself of the Special 
System for Updating and Paying Tax Debts – SEAP – approved by Statutory 
Decree 914, accepting all the objections made by SUNAT except for the 
objection due to non-recognition of the depreciation of the revaluation 
excess by applying Clause Eight of the Tax Code and the objection for non-
deduction of expenses related to the Olympic project. The amount paid was 
about US$ 14,290,000, which settled all unpaid tax in the years 1996 to 
1999, charging it to the provision for contingencies referred to above. The 
Company’s management and its external legal advisors are of the opinion 
that the result of this dispute will be favorable to the Company.

Furthermore, the sworn annual tax return for the year 2002 (submitted 
on April 2 2003) and the calculation of income tax accrued in 2003 have 
already taken SUNAT’S criteria regarding tax on expenses and on interest 
and exchange rate difference on loans linked to the purchase of Lajas 
Holding’s shares and SUNAT’S original criterion regarding the economic 
life of the assets when determining taxable income, so the Company’s 
Management and its legal advisors are of the opinion that the result of 
the review of 2000 to 2003 will not result in additional liabilities for the 
Company at December 31 2003.

ii.  Lawsuits filed by ESSALUD for payment of contributions of Statutory 
Decrees 22482, 19990 and 18846 amounting to THCh$3,055,250 (US$4.21 
million). Management and its legal advisors are of the opinion that a favorable 

consolidated financial statements 

decision will probably be obtained for the Subsidiary, so no liabilities have 
been recorded for these items at December 31 2003 and 2002.  

On December 26 2003, the judge granted a stay to the appeal for 
reconsideration of judgment filed by CELG, accepting the offer of collateral 
made by CELG.

iii. Resolutions of Assessment and Fine for ThCh$421,687 (MUS$581) issued 
against Talleres Moyopampa S.A., against which the subsidiary has filed 
the respective complaints and appeals since it was formed by the division 
of the above company. These complaints and appeals, are pending a final 
decision by the Tax Administration. Management and its external legal 
advisors are of the opinion that these actions, individually or collectively, 
will not have any significant negative effect on the Company’s financial 
position or its operating results or its liquidity, since it is clear from the 
terms of the agreement signed with Electrolima and the State of Peru that 
Electrolima is the company bound to pay the taxes.

iv. Lawsuit filed by the Subsidiary’s workers union petitioning that the 
percentage of participation in the profits, which the Law stipulates as 5 
percent, should be increased to 10 percent, thereby doubling the payment in 
this regard in 1994, 1995 and 1996 by about ThCh$3,387,291 (ThUS$4,667). 
The appealable judgment was pronounced on August 24 2000, declaring 
that the lawsuit was unfounded.

In a decision dated December 12 2000 (notified on November 13 
2001), the Second Division of Lima’s Supreme Court voided the appealable 
judgment which declared the lawsuit unfounded. The subsidiary filed an 
appeal for annulment against that decision, which was not admitted, so the 
case will return to the Court for a new ruling. Management and its external 
legal advisors are of the opinion that the final decision will be favorable 
to the subsidiary and no liabilities for these items have been recorded at 
December 31 2003 and 2002.

Central Cachoeira Dourada S.A.

In April 2003, Companhia Elétrica do Estado de Goiás S.A. (“CELG”), 
the sole customers the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Cachoeira Dourada, 
obtained an interim order that allowed CELG to suspend payments in respect 
to a firm contract for long-term purchase of energy it has with Cachoeira 
Dourada.  On July 4, 2003, the Court presiding over this dispute determined 
that CELG had to make payments to Cachoeira Dourada until the final 
resolution of the litigation with price ranges inferior to those of R$61.63 
per MWh, amounts included in the current purchase contract.  Cachoeira 
Dourada has decided to appeal this decision.

On July 23, 2003, the Regional Federal Court of the 1st Region has 
decided in favor of Cachoeira Dourada finding that CELG must pay the 
entire amount owed.

On July 29, 2003, the ruling was reconsidered and the previous decision 
was maintained which compels CELG to pay R$31.00 per MWh to CDSA; 
this is currently in force.

On August 18, 2003, the Judge approved the holding of a settlement 
hearing between CDSA and CELG on September 04, 2003, but no agreement 
was reached. A technical evaluation has been ruled on that is in progress.

On December 19 2003, a temporary measure was granted to determine 
that CELG should admit into the proceeding the difference between the 
value paid to CDSA and the value stipulated in the contract.

On December 23 2003, CELG filed an appeal for reconsideration of 

judgment.

Compañía de Interconección Energética (CIEN)

In January 2003, Companhia Paranaense de Energía – COPEL (“Copel”) 
suspended its payments to Companhia de Interconexão Energética (CIEN), 
in respect of the firm contract for purchase of energy and power, which was 
signed in 1999.  In addition CIEN sells energy to another three Brazilian 
companies.  Copel cited the economic and financial imbalance of the 1999 
contracts as the reason for its violation.  In addition Copel has requested 
a review of the previously agreed upon prices.

On August 18, 2003, CIEN and COPEL reached an agreement and 
signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” that reflects the renegotiation 
of Agreements 001/99 and 002/99.

Said agreement will be the basis for the contractual additions to be 
signed, and essentially determines the following: (i) a reduction in the 
Agreements signed that modifies the agreed amounts from 400 MW to 
200 MW each; (ii) a term of seven (7) years for the additions, starting on 
January 1, 2003, and ending on December 31, 2009; (iii) CIEN’s taking on 
the portion that refers to the CUST for the introduction of energy in the 
basic network up to the center of gravity; (iv) the reference annual payment 
flow, which will be paid in monthly portions of the payable invoices; and 
(v) new conditions for price adjustment.

The  Memorandum  of  Understanding  establishes  that  the 
Commercialization Agreement signed by the parties on December 13, 
1999, should be canceled by mutual settlement.

In December 2003 supplementary or additional agreements between 
investee Cien and Brazilian company COPEL, pursuant to which the original 
contracts between both companies were amended, were signed. As a direct 
result of the signing of these additional agreements, 203 million reales 
were immediately paid to Cien by COPEL.

Emgesa S.A.

Environmental contingency – Group action against Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., 
Empresa de Energía de Bogotá S.A. E.S.P. and CAR for alleged material and 
moral damages caused by the environmental damage that occurred in the 
Muña reservoir. The plaintiff’s initial claim is for ThCh$890,700,000. The 
Company’s Management and its legal advisors consider that, if the decision 
goes against the company, the maximum amount of the claim would be 
ThCh$35,564,000, which should be assumed by the three entities being 
sued. However, the Company’s legal advisor considers this contingency 
to be remote.

Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries are defendants or plaintiffs in other 
minor lawsuits with probable or reasonably possible risk of loss, but whose 
individual effects, if the decision is unfavorable, are not significant in these 
consolidated financial statements.

Restrictions:

Other restrictions

i.  As a common and habitual practice for some bank loan debts and 
also in capital markets, a substantial portion of Enersis S.A.’s financial 
indebtedness is subject to cross-failure provisions.  Some failures of relevant 
subsidiaries, if not corrected in time (as to those specific provisions allowing 
a year of time to correct the problem), might result in the cross-failure 
at the Endesa-Chile and Enersis S.A. level., and, in this case, significant 

percent of Enersis S.A.’s consolidated liabilities might eventually become 
on demand.

There are no longer debt covenants that specify the acceleration of 

maturities, if the Company’s risk-rating falls below investment-grade. 

The syndicated loan signed during May 2003 specifies that cash 
obtained from the sale of Company assets, capital increases, new debt 
issuances, and at least 75% of excess annual cash is to be used to pre-pay 
the syndicated loan.

At December 31, 2002 and 2003, these obligations and restrictions 

have been fully met.

Chile Internacional S.A. and Pehuenche S.A. as joint sureties through joint

Differences Between Chilean and United States Generally 
Accepted Accounting Principles

Restatements of U.S. GAAP Consolidated Net Income, 
Shareholders’ Equity, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash 
Flows

Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP. Such 
differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown in 
the financial statements.

i. 

Differences in Measurement Methods

The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP are 
described below together with an explanation, where appropriate, of 
the method used in the determination of the adjustments that affect net 
income and total stockholders’ equity.  References below to “SFAS” are 
to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Financial 
Accounting Standards Board in the United States.

In addition to the restatement of its 2001 Chilean GAAP Statement of 
Cash Flows as described in Note 2, the Company also made certain 
adjustments  to  its  previously  -reported  consolidated  shareholders’ 
equity as of December 31, 2002 and consolidated net income (loss) 
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, that only had an 
impact  on  the  Company’s  previously  reported  U.S.  GAAP  amounts. 
The total impact of these adjustments on consolidated shareholders’ 
equity as of December 31, 2002 and consolidated net income (loss) 
the  years  ended  December  31,  2002  and  2001  under  U.S.  GAAP 
are  presented  below.  Restatements  of  ThCh$4,212,536  relating  to 
periods  prior  to  January  1,  2001  were  recorded  as  a  reduction  of 
opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2001:

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

The following is a description of the adjustments that only had an 
impact on net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity determined in 
accordance with U.S. GAAP:

Goodwill – Codensa

Under Chilean GAAP, when we initially recorded the purchase of our 
interest in Codensa in 1997, the Company recognized a deferred balance, 
“Reorganization expenses - Codensa”, and an Allowance for Doubtful 
Accounts in the opening balance sheet related to certain receivables that 
the Company and the acquiree agreed had previously been overvalued.  
Our deferred expenses under Chilean GAAP are disclosed in Note 14, Other 
Assets.  Under U.S. GAAP, this amount should have been recognized as 

goodwill and not a separate deferred balance. Further, this deferred balance 
was incorrectly expensed as reorganization expenses in 1999. Under U.S. 
GAAP, we have restated our previous results to include this balance in 
goodwill. This adjustment reflects the effect of the capitalization of the 
goodwill and the subsequent amortization recognized. Under U.S. GAAP, 
prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, goodwill 
was capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding 40 years.  After 
the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested 
for impairment at least annually.

ii.  As  described  above  (and  Note  2),  the  Company  made  certain 
adjustments to its 2001 Chilean GAAP Statement of Cash Flows. The 
effect of the restatements on the U.S. GAAP 2001 Statement of Cash 
Flows is set forth in the table below:

In addition, as discussed in Note 19, Bonds Payable, the holders of our Series 3 Yankee Bonds had the option to require redemption of the bonds 
in December of 2003.  The Company has made adjustments to its previously reported U.S. GAAP current and long-term liabilities to classify these 
bonds as current as of December 31, 2002. The effect of the restatements on the U.S. GAAP balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, is set forth in

a.  Inflation accounting

b.  Reversal of revaluation of property, plant and equipment

The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Consumer 
Price Index for the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 was 
approximately 7.25%.  Pursuant to Chilean GAAP, the Company’s financial 
statements recognize certain effects of inflation.  The inclusion of price-
level adjustments in the accompanying consolidated financial statements 
is considered appropriate under the prolonged inflationary conditions 
affecting the Chilean economy even though the cumulative inflation rate 
for the last three years does not exceed 100%.  As allowed pursuant to Item 
17 c (iv) of Form-20-F the reconciliation included herein of consolidated net 
income, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity, as determined 
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excludes adjustments attributable to the 
effect of differences between the accounting for inflation under Chilean 
GAAP versus U.S. GAAP.

In accordance with standards issued by the SVS., certain property, 
plant and equipment are recorded in the financial statements at amounts 
determined in accordance with a technical appraisal.  The difference between 
the carrying value and the revalued amount is included in shareholders’ 
equity, beginning in 1989, in “Other reserves”, and is subject to adjustments 
for price-level restatement and depreciation.  Revaluation of property, plant 
and equipment is an accounting principle not generally accepted under 
U.S. GAAP, therefore, the effects of the reversal of this revaluation, as well 
as of the related accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense are 
included in paragraph (gg) below.

consolidated financial statements 

c.  Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Under Chilean GAAP, certain costs related to the cost of acquisition of 
Edesur S.A., at the time of the acquisitions in 1992 and 1994 by Distrilec 
Inversora S.A., were charged to earnings as incurred.  Under U.S. GAAP, these 
costs would have been included in the purchase price and would have been 
allocated to the net assets acquired based upon fair values.  For purposes of 
the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, these costs were considered to be of part of 
property, plant, and equipment, the primary assets of Edesur S.A.

As discussed in paragraph (i), under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed are recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the 
purchase price over the carrying value is recorded as goodwill.  Under U.S. 
GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated 
fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value 
of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill.  
As part of the purchase of the majority ownership interest in Endesa-Chile, 
under U.S. GAAP, the cost of the purchase price would have been allocated 
to the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

The effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years 

presented is included in paragraph (gg) below.

d.  Intangibles

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company has recorded intangible assets 
(consisting mainly of rights of way) relating to the transfer of revalued 
assets which originate in the predecessor company, “Compañía Chilena 
de Distribución Eléctrica S.A.” at the time of the Company’s formation.  
Under U.S. GAAP, such intangible assets would have been recorded at the 
Predecessor Company’s carrying values which was zero.  The estimated 
aggregated amortization expense to be reversed for US GAAP purposes 
for each of the five succeeding fiscal years to be as follows:

in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60 of the Chilean Association 
of Accountants, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax 
effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax values of 
assets and liabilities.  As a transitional provision, a contra (referred to as 
“complementary”) asset or liability has been recorded offsetting the effects 
of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 
2000.  Such complementary asset or liability are being amortized to income 
over the estimated average reversal periods corresponding to the underlying 
temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability relates.

Under U.S. GAAP, companies must account for deferred taxes in 
accordance with SFAS No. 109, which requires an asset and liability 
approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes, under 
the following basic principles:

i.  A  deferred  tax  liability  or  asset  is  recognized  for  the  estimated 
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss 
carryforwards.

ii.  The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on the 
provisions of the enacted tax law.  The effects of future changes in tax 
laws or rates are not anticipated.

iii.  The measurement of deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation 
allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more 
likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be 
realized.

Temporary differences are defined as any difference between the 
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of an asset and liability that 
at some future date will reverse, thereby resulting in taxable income or 
expense.  Temporary differences ordinarily become taxable or deductible 
when the related asset is recovered or the related liability is settled.  A 
deferred tax liability or asset represents the amount of taxes payable or 
refundable in future years as a result of temporary differences at the end 
of the current year.

The principal difference relates to the reversal of the complementary 
assets and liabilities recorded as a transitional provision for unrecorded 
deferred taxes as of January 1, 2000 and their corresponding amortization 
into income.  The effect of these differences on the net income and 
shareholders’ equity of the Company is included in paragraph (gg) 
below.

f.  Severance indemnity 

The effects of adjusting shareholders’ equity for this intangible asset 
net of accumulated amortization, inclusive of accumulated price-level 
restatement, and net income for the annual amortization expense are 
included in paragraph (gg) below.

e.  Deferred income taxes

Under Chilean GAAP, until December 31, 1999, deferred income taxes 
were recorded based on non-recurring timing differences between the 
recognition of income and expense items for financial statement and 
tax purposes.  Accordingly, there was an orientation toward the income 
statement focusing on differences in the timing of recognition of revenues 
and expenses in pre-tax accounting income and taxable income.  Chilean 
GAAP also permitted not providing for deferred income taxes where a 
deferred tax asset or liability, was either offsetting or not expected to be 
realized.  Starting January 1, 2000, the Company recorded income taxes 

As described in Note 2 n, under the Company’s employment contracts, 
it has committed to provide a lump sum payment to each employee at the 
end of their employment, whether due to death, termination, resignation 
or retirement.  Those obligations are calculated based on the present value 
of the liability determined at each year-end based on the current salary, 
average service life of each employee and discounted at an interest rate 
determined every three years.  The Company and certain of its subsidiaries 
used a discount rate of 9.5% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 
2003, and assumed an average service life which varies based upon years 
of service with the Company.

Under US GAAP, this arrangement is considered to be a termination 
indemnity plan and should therefore be accounted for in accordance with 
SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”.  The liability would 
be measured at the actuarial present value as of the balance sheet of all 
benefits attributed by the severance indemnity benefit formula to employee 
service rendered prior to the balance sheet.  The projected benefit obligation 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

is measured using assumptions as to future compensation levels. For U.S. 
GAAP purpose the discount rate has to be reassessed every year, to the 
relevant discount rate for the period between the date and the expected 
date of payment. Consequently, the discount rates to be applied for 
each of the years should have been 8.1% of 2001 and 6.5% for 2002. In 
practice, the Company believes that the salary progression rate will not 
differ significantly from the general inflation rate.  In 2003 the Company 
for US GAAP purposes used 6.5% discount rate in according with the above 
guidance the impact of using the appropriate discount rates under US GAAP 
for 2001 and 2002 would have not resulting a material difference than the 
rate use in accordance with Chilean GAAP.

paragraph (gg) below.  The principal U.S. GAAP adjustments affecting the 
Company’s equity investees are as follows:

(a)  Reversal of complementary accounts (asset or liability) recorded 

as a transitional provision as of January 1, 2000.

(b)  Organizational  costs  deferred  under  Chilean  GAAP  that,  under 

U.S. GAAP, should have been included in income.

(c)  For  the  year  beginning  January  1,  2001,  the  recording  of 

derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately for 

(d)  The deferred income tax effects of adjustments (b) and (c).

Severance indemnity plans for both Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

The effects of accounting for severance indemnity benefits under US 

GAAP have been presented in paragraph (gg).

g.  Pension and post-retirement benefits 

The Company has obligations related to post-retirement benefits as 
stipulated in collective bargaining agreements and pension obligations as 
stipulated by contract for its subsidiares in Brazil, Colombia and Chile under 
U.S. GAAP, post-retirement benefits are accounted for under SFAS 106 and 
pension obligations are accounted for under SFAS 87 which results in the 
following differences:

• 

In  2000,  the  Company  recorded  its  obligation  for  post-retirement 
benefits  at  our  consolidated  subsidiaries,  Cerj  and  Coelce  under 
Chilean  GAAP.  Technical  Bulletin  8  allows  the  Company  to  record  a 
transition asset for post-retirement benefits and pension obligations, 
as calculated under Chilean GAAP, and to amortize the amount, on a 
straight-line basis, for up to five years.  The Company is amortizing this 
amount over a period of three years.  Cerj and Coelce had adopted 
U.S. GAAP for external reporting purposes prior to 2000 and there 
was  no  remaining  unamortized  transition  obligation.    Therefore, 
the amortization that is appropriately being recorded under Chilean 
GAAP for the transition asset related to post-retirement benefits and 
pensions is reversed in our reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

•  Under  both  Chilean  GAAP  and  US  GAAP,  actuarial  gains/losses 
are  deferred  over  the  average  remaining  service  period  when  the 
cumulative  amount  of  deferred  actuarial  gains  and  losses  exceeds 
10% of the higher of the projected benefit obligation or fair value of 
plan assets.

•  Chilean GAAP recognizes an additional minimum liability, similar to 
that defined under SFAS 87, through the income statement.  Under 
US GAAP if the amount of the additional minimum liability required 
to  be  recognized  exceeds  the  unrecognized  prior  service  costs,  the 
excess  shall  be  reported  as  a  separate  component  within  other 
comprehensive  income  net  of  any  tax  benefits,  if  no  excess  exists 
the additional minimum liability is recognized an intangible asset is 
recognized in respect of the prior service cost not get recognize.

The effects of accounting for post-retirement benefits under US GAAP 

have been presented in paragraph (gg).

h.  Investments in related companies

The Company’s equity share of the effect of the adjustments from 
Chilean GAAP to U.S. GAAP of equity accounted investees is included in 

i.  Goodwill and long-lived assets

(i)  Under  Chilean  GAAP,  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  are 
recorded at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price 
over the carrying value are recorded as goodwill.  Circular No. 1358, 
dated December 3, 1997 issued by the SVS, extended the maximum 
amortization  period  of  goodwill  to  20  years  form  the  previous  10 
years.

Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded 
at their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price 
over  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets  and 
liabilities acquired are recorded as goodwill.  Up until December 31, 
2001, the Company amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over 
the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 20 to 40 years.  
Goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 is not amortized (see Note 34 
II (o)).  In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued 
amortizing  goodwill  on  January  1,  2002.    The  effects  of  recording 
the different amortization periods and reversing the amortization of 
goodwill for 2002 are included in paragraph (gg) below.

185

Under  Chilean  GAAP,  the  Company  has  evaluated  the  carrying 
amount  of  goodwill  net  of  negative  goodwill  for  impairment.  
The  measurement  of  the  impairment  loss  was  based  on  the  fair 
value  of  the  investment  which  the  Company  determined  using  a 
discounted cash flow approach and recent comparable transactions 
in the market.  In order to estimate fair value, the Company made 
assumptions about future events that are highly uncertain at the time 
of estimation.  The results of this analysis showed that the goodwill 
and negative goodwill associated with investments in Argentina and 
Brazil were impaired because estimated future discounted cash flows 
were not sufficient to recover goodwill and negative goodwill. During 
2002,  under  Chilean  GAAP  the  Company  recorded  a  net  charge 
related to its investments in Central Costanera S.A., Hidroeléctrica El 
Chocón  S.A.,  Hidroinvest  S.A.,  Lajas  Inversora  S.A.,  Central  Eléctrica 
Cachoeira Dourada S.A., Cía. de Electricidade do Rio de Janeiro S.A., 
Coelce S.A., Distrelec Inversora S.A., Edesur S.A., and Investluz S.A., in 
the amount of ThCh$238,798,904 net minority interest, to write-off 
all amounts of goodwill and negative goodwill.

In  accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  142 
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (SFAS No. 142) as of January 
1,  2002.    SFAS  142  applies  to  all  goodwill  and  intangible  assets 
acquired  in  a  business  combination.    Under  the  new  standard,  all 
goodwill,  including  that  acquired  before  initial  application  of  the 
standard,  and  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  not  amortized, 
as of the effective date but must be tested for impairment at least 
annually.  The transitional impairment test required by the standard 

consolidated financial statements 

 
 
 
was  performed  and  no  adjustment  for  impairment  was  required.  
However, based on subsequent testing of the Company’s investments 
in Argentina and Brazil performed as of December 31, 2002, it was 
determined that these investments were impaired.  The following net 
effects are included in the net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity 
reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below:

(a)  the reversal of goodwill amortization related to reporting units 
that  were  not  found  to  be  impaired  under  U.S.  GAAP  for  the 
year  ended  December  31,  2002,  and  adjustment  of  goodwill 

amortization  which  is  different  in  amount  because  of  goodwill 
basis differences in 2001.

(b)  the adjustment to record the reversal of the impairment recorded 
under Chilean GAAP during 2002, which is different in amount 
because of goodwill basis differences,

(c)  the adjustment to record the impairment under US GAAP from 

investment in Argentina and Brazil.

The adjustment as of each year are as follows:

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

(ii)  The company has considered important factors, which could trigger 

an impairment review, such as the following:

•  Significant  underperformance  relative  to  expected  historical  or 

projected future operating results;

•  Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the 

strategy for our overall business; and

•  Significant negative industry or economic trends

In accordance with SFAS No.121, “Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of’ during 2001, 
which was superceded by SFAS No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or 
Disposa1 of Long-Lived Assets” beginning in 2002, the Company eva1uates 
the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived 
assets, in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted 
cash flows of the underlying business. These standards require that an 
impairment loss be recognized in the event that facts and circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  
Impairment is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash 
flows, as compared to current carrying amounts.  For the years ended 
December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003, no additional amounts were 
recorded for impairment under U.S. GAAP, except for adjustments for this 
concept recorded under Chilean GAAP in the subsidiaries Centrais Eléctrica 
Cachoeira Dourada S.A. and Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco Limitada, which 
are included in other non-operating expenses (see Note 23).  This amounts 
are reclassified to operating income for US GAAP purposes.

j.  Negative Goodwill 

Under Chilean GAAP, the excess of the carrying value of the assets 
assumed in a business combination over the purchase price is recorded as 
negative goodwill.  Circular No. 1358, dated December 3, 1997 issued by 
the SVS, extended the maximum amortization period of negative goodwill 
to 20 years from the previous 5 years.  Under U.S. GAAP, the fair values of 
the assets acquired less the fair values of the liabilities assumed in excess 
of over the purchase price is allocated proportionately to reduce the 
values assigned to non-current assets.  If the allocation reduces the non-
current monetary assets to zero, the remainder of the excess is recorded 
as a deferred credit account called negative goodwill upon adoption of 
SFAS 142 in January 1, 2002 the excess will no longer be deferred but 
recognized immediately in income.  The effect of reducing depreciation 
expense, due to the proportionate allocation of the excess purchase price 
to property, plant and equipment, as compared to the amortization of 
negative goodwill under Chilean GAAP and the reversal of negative goodwill 
write-offs described in paragraph (i), which did not meet the U.S. GAAP 
impairment criteria for long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144 described 
above, and updated amortization period under the Circular No. 1.358 are 
included in paragraph (gg) below.

k.  Capitalized interest and exchange differences

In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has capitalized both 
interest on debt directly related to property, plant and equipment under 
construction and finance costs corresponding to exchange differences 
generated by the loans associated with such assets.  The capitalization 
of interest costs associated with projects under construction is optional 
when incurred on debt that is not directly related to such projects.  The 
Company has optioned for not capitalizing indirect interest cost under 
Chilean GAAP.

debt directly related to a project to the extent that interest cost would have 
been available if the project had not been done.  In addition, under U.S. 
GAAP, foreign translation exchange differences may not be capitalized.  The 
accounting differences between Chilean and U.S. GAAP for financing costs 
and the related depreciation expense are included in the reconciliation to 
U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

l.  Accumulated deficit during the development stage

Under Chilean GAAP, the losses incurred during the development stage 
of subsidiary companies is recorded directly in the parent company’s equity.  
Under U.S. GAAP, such costs must be charged to income as incurred.  The 
effects are included in paragraph (gg) below.

m.  Minimum dividend

As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided 
by the unanimous vote of the holders of issued and subscribed shares, 
the Company must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at 
least 30% of its net income for each year as determined in accordance 
with Chilean GAAP, unless and except to the extent the Company has 
unabsorbed prior year losses.  Since the payment of the 30% dividend out 
of each year’s income is required by Chilean law, an accrual was made 
in the reconciliation in paragraph (gg) below to reflect the unrecorded 
dividend liability for 2001.

In April 2002, the meeting of shareholders decided, that dividends 
would consist of the income from normal company operations defined 
as income before amortization of negative goodwill in the income 
statement.  Therefore, the distributable profit at December 31, 2001 was 
zero, necessitating a reversal of the prior year accrual under U.S. GAAP.

187

n.  Capitalized general and administrative expenses

Until 1993, Endesa-Chile capitalized a portion of its administrative and 
selling expenses as part of the cost of construction in progress because 
a substantial portion of the efforts of management were involved in 
the administration of major projects.  Under U.S. GAAP, general and 
administrative expenses are charged to expense unless they can be directly 
identified with the supervision of the construction of specific projects.  The 
effects of eliminating capitalized general and administrative expenses and 
the related depreciation for U.S. GAAP purposes are shown below under 
paragraph (gg).

o.  Involuntary employee termination benefits

Under Chilean GAAP, the Argentine subsidiaries, Central Costanera and 
Hidroelectricidad, recorded an accrual of certain involuntary employees 
termination benefits related to the restructuring plan announced in 1997.  
Since that date employees have continued to be made redundant pursuant 
to this plan.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, at that time in order to recognize 
a liability at the balance sheet date for the cost to terminate employees 
involuntarily, there must be a plan that specifically includes notification 
to employees prior to the balance sheet date.  As of December 31, 2001, 
2002 and 2003, this requirement had not been met.  The net effect of 
eliminating the accrued liability recognized under Chile GAAP is presented 
in paragraph (gg) below.

p.  Adjustment in selling price of investment

Under U.S. GAAP, the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under 
construction is required, regardless of whether interest is associated with 

Under Chilean GAAP, pursuant to the share transaction contract entered 
into in 1995 between Endesa-Chile and Endesa Overseas Co. with Enersis 

consolidated financial statements 

Intemational Limited, Chilectra S.A. and Chilectra IntemationaI Limited, 
Endesa Argentina recognized income related to an adjustment of the 
share purchase price.  Under U.S. GAAP, the contingent price adjustment 
would be considered a part of the purchase price, and would therefore be 
offset against the amount of goodwill that was originally determined.  As 
described in paragraph (i), the Company determined goodwill amounts 
recorded in investments in Argentina were impaired as of December 31, 
2002, thus the adjustment in selling price of investment is a basis difference 
between Chilean and U.S. GAAP was eliminated after the impairment charge 
recorded in 2002.  The effects of the adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP 
are included under paragraph (gg) below.

q.  Elimination of capitalized interest in Brazil

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company capitalized interest to property, plant 
and equipment as a result of the creation of a legal reserve specifically 
permitted in Brazil for the electricity industry with credit against interest 
expense.  Under U.S. GAAP, interest capitalized must be based on actual 
interest incurred, and as such the effects of the elimination of the interest 
capitalized to property, plant and equipment and the effects on depreciation 
expense are included in paragraph (gg) below.

r.  Organizational and start-up costs 

Certain costs related to the organization and creation of certain 
subsidiaries of the Company are deferred and capitalized under Chilean 
GAAP and amortized.  Under U.S. GAAP, such organizational and start-up 
costs may not be deferred and must be included in income as incurred.  The 
effects of the difference are included in paragraph (gg) below.

188

s.  Translation of Financial Statements of Investments 
  Outside of Chile

Under Chilean GAAP, in accordance with Technical Bulletin 64 (“B.T. 
64”) the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate in 
countries exposed to significant risks (“unstable” countries), and that are 
not considered to be an extension of the parent company’s operations, 
are remeasured into US dollars.  The Company’s foreign subsidiaries in 
Argentina, Perú, Brazil, and Colombia all meet the criteria of foreign 
subsidiaries that operate in countries exposed to significant risks under BT 
64, and are remeasured into US dollars.  The Company has remeasured its 
foreign subsidiaries into US dollars under this requirement as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of 

exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.

All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholder’s equity are 
translated at historical rates of exchange between the US dollar and the 
local currency.

Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of 

exchange between the US dollar and local currency.

The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations between the local currency 
and the US dollar are included in the results of operations for the period.

Under BT 64, the investment in the foreign subsidiary is price-level 
restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of 
the foreign exchange gains or losses between the Chilean Peso and the 
US dollar on the foreign investment measured in US dollars, are reflected 
in equity in the account “Cumulative Translation Adjustment”.

The amount of foreign exchange gain (loss) included in income 
that is attributable to operations in unstable countries because these 
amounts have been remeasured into US dollars was ThCh$23,479,750, 
ThCh$181,846,422 and ThCh$(67,511,676) for the years ended December 
31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively (See Note 24).

Company’s Management believes that, foreign currency translation 
procedures described above are part of the comprehensive basis of 
preparation of price-level adjusted financial statements required by 
Chilean GAAP.  Inclusion of inflation and translation effects in the financial 
statements is considered appropriate under the inflationary conditions 
that have historically affected the Chilean economy, and accordingly, are 
not eliminated in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP as permitted by Item 17 
b (iv) of Form 20-F.

t.  Derivative instruments

Under Chilean GAAP, forward foreign exchange contracts and currency 
swaps are used to hedge existing balance sheet risks or “fair value” hedges, 
while interest swaps and collars are used to hedge against future transaction 
risks or “cash flow” hedges.  Fair value hedges are recorded at fair values 
with losses recorded at the time of their estimation and gains deferred until 
the transaction date or to the extent losses have been previously recorded, 
while gains and losses from cash flow hedges are deferred as either an 
asset or a liability until the transaction date.  The hedging criteria and 
documentation requirements under Chilean GAAP are less onerous than 
U.S. GAAP.  Realized gains and losses are recorded in “Other non-operating 
income and expense”.

Prior to January 1, 2001. under U.S. GAAP, contracts that were 
designated and effective as hedges of existing assets and liabilities were 
recorded at the closing spot exchange rate and included in earnings with 
the initial discount or premium amortized over the life of the contract as 
interest expense.  However, contracts not designated or ineffective were 
recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized in 
income.  For contracts with fair values different from the values of the 
contracts at the closing spot exchange rate, a difference between U.S. and 
Chilean GAAP resulted.  The effects of the difference were not considered 
material to the consolidated financial statements and accordingly were 
not previously included in paragraph (gg) below.

Currently under U.S. GAAP, the accounting for derivative instruments is 
described in SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and 
Certain Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133) and other complementary rules 
and amendments.  SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and 
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including 
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded 
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair 
value.  SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative instrument’s 
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge 
accounting criteria are met.  Special accounting for qualifying hedges 
allows a derivative instrument’s gains and losses to offset related results 
on the hedged item in the income statement, to the extent effective, and 
requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess 
the effectiveness of transactions designated for hedge accounting.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001.  
SFAS No. 133 required that as of the date of initial adoption, the difference 
between the market value of derivative instruments recorded on the balance 
sheet and the previous carrying amount of those derivatives be reported 
in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate, as the 
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes.”  SFAS 
No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a) 
derivative instruments and (b) certain embedded derivative instruments. 
As permitted under this standard, the Company has applied SFAS No. 
133 to only those embedded instruments that were issued, acquired, or 
substantively modified after January 1, 1999.

SFAS No. 133, in part, allows special hedge accounting for “fair value” 
and “cash flow” hedges. SFAS No. 133 provides that the gain or loss 
on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a “fair value” 
hedging instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged 
item attributable to the hedged risk be recognized currently in earnings in 
the same accounting period.  The accounting standard provides that the 
effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated 
and qualifying as a “cash flow” hedging instrument be reported as 
a component of other comprehensive income and be reclassified 
into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged 
forecasted transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the 
derivative instrument, if any, must be recognized currently in earnings. 
While the Company enters into derivatives for the purpose of mitigating 
its global financial and commodity risks, these operations do not meet the 
documentation requirements to qualify for hedge accounting under U.S. 
GAAP.  Therefore changes in the respective fair values of all derivatives are 
reported in earnings when they occur.

Current Chilean accounting rules do not consider the existence of 
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and therefore they are 
not reflected in the financial statements.  For U.S. GAAP purposes, certain 
implicit or explicit terms included in host contracts that affect some or all 
of the cash flows or the value of other exchanges required by the contract 
in a manner similar to a derivative instrument, must be separated from 
the host contract and accounted for at fair value.  The Company separately 
measures embedded derivatives as freestanding derivatives instruments 
at their estimated fair values recognizing changes in earnings when they 
occur.

Estimates of fair values of financial instruments for which no quoted 
prices or secondary market exists have been made using valuation 
techniques such as forward pricing models, present value of estimated 
future cash flows, and other modeling techniques.  These estimates of fair 
value include assumptions made by the Company about market variables 
that may change in the future.  Changes in assumptions could have a 
significant impact on the estimate of fair values disclosed. As a result 
such fair value amounts are subject to significant volatility and are highly 
dependent on the quality of the assumptions used.

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk arising from 
long-term debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which 
is US dollar.  This risk is partially mitigated, as a substantial portion of 
the Company’s revenues are either directly or indirectly linked to the US 
dollar.  Additionally, the Company records the foreign exchange gains and 
losses on liabilities related to net investments in foreign countries which 
are denominated in the same currency as the functional currency of those 
foreign investments.  Such unrealized gains and losses are included in the 
cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders’ equity, and 
in this way act as a net investment hedge of the exchange risk affecting 
the investments (see Note 11 (c) and Note 22 (e) for further detail).  The 
Company also uses short duration forward foreign currency contracts and 
swaps, and cross-currency swaps, where possible, to manage its risk related 
to foreign currency fluctuations.

The effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001, resulted in a 
cumulative effect on net income of ThCh$21,225,196 net of deferred taxes 
for ThCh$47,041,680 and minority interest for ThCh$63,247,656, which is 
presented under the caption “Cumulative effect of changes in accounting 
principles”, the effects of the adjustment with respect to financial derivatives, 
commodity derivatives, and embedded derivatives for the year ended on 
December 31, 2001 is included in the net income and shareholders’ equity 
reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.

u.  Fair value of long-term debt assumed

As discussed in paragraph (i), under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed are recorded at their carrying value, and the excess 
of the purchased price over the carrying value are recorded as goodwill.  
Under U.S. GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at 
their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchased price over the 
estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are 
recorded as goodwill.  As part of the purchase of the majority ownership 
interest in Endesa-Chile, under U.S: GAAP, the cost of the purchase price 
would have been allocated to the fair value of long-term debt.  The effect 
on shareholder’s equity and net income for the years presented is included 
in paragraph (gg) below.

v.  Effects on US GAAP of sale of subsidiary Río Maipo

The adjustment of the net gain obtained from the sale of the subsidiary 
Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A results from the reversal of the 
accumulated US GAAP adjustment at December 31, 2002.  As explained 
in Note 11d) this subsidiary was sold in April 2003.  The reversal of these 
adjustment increased by ThCh$489,353 the gain obtained from the sale 
of this subsidiary.

189

The operating income generated by Río Maipo until disposal date 
amounted to ThCh$2,759,358 (sales amounted to ThCh$14,462,630 
less cost of sales amounted to ThCh$10,817,530 and administrative and 
selling expenses amounted to ThCh$885,742) was reclassified from Non-
operating income to Operating Income in accordance with US GAAP (see 
Note 37 II (k)).

The sales of subsidiaries Infraestructura 2000 and Canutillar Plan did 

not provide for any US GAAP difference adjustment.

w.  Deferred income

During 2000, fiber optic cable was contributed to the Company in return 
for granting the contributing company access to the fiber optic network after 
installation in the Company’s electricity distribution system.  Under Chilean 
GAAP, the contributed assets were recorded at their fair market value, with 
a corresponding credit recognized as income in 2000.  Under U.S. GAAP, 
the amount was deferred and amortize over the life of the related service 
contract.  This adjustment reverses the gain under Chile GAAP and records 
the amortization of the deferred income recognized under U.S. GAAP.  The 
effect on shareholders’ equity and net income for the years presented is 
included in (gg) below.

x.  Regulated assets and deferred costs

The electricity sector in Chile and other countries of operation in Latin 
America is regulated pursuant to the Chilean and other country electricity 
laws.  Most of the Company’s sales are subject to node price regulation, 
which is designed to ensure an adequate supply of energy at reasonable, 

consolidated financial statements 

190

determined prices, which considers a variety of factors.  The marginal cost 
pricing model is not solely based upon costs incurred by the Company, and 
as a result, the requirements of U.S. GAAP under SFAS No.71, “Accounting 
for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation”, related to a businesses 
whose rates are regulated are not applicable to the Company’s financial 
statements, except for the Company’s operations in Brazil as described 
below.

As a result of changes in Brazilian Electricity Laws and Regulations, the 
Company’s distribution subsidiaries in Brazil, Companhia de Electricidad 
do Rio de Janeiro (Cerj) and Companhia Energética do Ceará (Coelce), are 
subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 71 beginning on January 1, 2001.  With 
the new regulations issued by the National Agency of Electrictric Energy 
(ANEEL), the rate-setting structure in Brazil is now designed to provide 
recovery for allowable costs incurred, which will be recovered through future 
increases in energy tariffs in order to recover losses experienced during the 
period of Brazilian Federal Government mandated energy rationing from 
June 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001.  The Company estimates remaining 
costs will be recovered over a period estimated of three years, from the 
balance date.

Accordingly, the Company capitalizes incurred costs as deferred 
regulatory assets when there is a probable expectation that future revenue 
equal to the costs incurred will be billed and collected as a direct result of 
the inclusion of the costs in an increased rate set by the regulator.  The 
deferred regulatory asset is eliminated when the Company collects the 
related costs through billings to customers.  ANEEL perform a rate review 
on an annual basis.  If ANEEL excludes all or part of a cost from recovery, 
that portion of the deferred regulatory assets is impaired and is accordingly 
reduced to the extent of the excluded cost.  The Company has recorded 
deferred regulatory assets, which it expects to pass on to its customers in 
accordance with and subject to regulatory provisions.

The regulations also included certain VPA costs, which are certain 
that each distribution company is permitted to defer and pass on the 
their customers using future rate adjustments.  VPA costs are limited by 
concession contracts to the cost of purchased power and certain other costs 
and taxes.  Due to uncertainly in the Brazilian economy, ANEEL delayed the 
approval of such VPA rate increases.  An Executive Order in October 2001 
created a tracking account mechanism, in order to calculate the variation in 
the VPA costs for future rate adjustment calculation purposes.  The Company 
has not recognized any regulatory assets for VPA costs incurred prior to 
2001, because costs incurred prior to January 1, 2001, are not recoverable 
through the tracking account.

Under Chilean GAAP, the Company recognized revenue and deferred 
costs related to the regulated assets.  Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with 
Emerging Issues Taskforce (EITF) No. 92-7, “Accounting by Rate Regulated 
Utilities for the Effects of Certain Alternate Revenue Programs”, revenue 
amounts not expected to be collected within 24 months, have been 
deferred.  The effect of deferring revenues expected to be collected after 
two years is included in (gg) below.

y.  Reorganization of subsidiaries

Corresponds to the reorganization of the Company’s subsidiaries 
Central Costanera and Central Buenos Aires (CBA) during 2001, in which 
Central Costanera acquired the minority interest in CBA from third parties 
and exchanged shares with Endesa Argentina.  Under Chilean GAAP, the 
Company recorded the goodwill for the proportional minority interest 
acquired as the difference between the purchase price and the carrying 

values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Under U.S. GAAP, the 
proportional fair value of the assets acquired compared to the purchase 
price was recorded as goodwill. The effect on shareholders’ equity is 
included in (gg) below.

z.  Assets held for sale

Under Chilean GAAP the Company records divestitures of investments 
or assets in the year in which they occur.  Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance 
with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets for which there is a plan to sell the 
assets within the following year, shall be disclosed separately from the 
Company’s other assets, provided all the criteria are met.  Additionally, 
long-lived assets classified as held for sale must be measured at the lower 
of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Long-lived assets 
shall not be depreciated while they are classified as held for sale, while 
interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group 
classified as held for sale shall continue to be accrued.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell a number of 
the Company’s assets during October 2002.  The following assets to be sold 
meet the definition of, reporting units or long-lived assets held for sale:

•	
•	
•	
•	
•	

Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A. 
Central Canutillar power plant
Gas Atacama transmission lines
CELTA transmission lines
Infraestructura 2000 S.A.

The Company evaluated the carrying values of all assets held for sale, 
recording a loss to the extent that one of the assets’ fair values less cost 
to sell was lower than the carrying value of those assets.  Additionally, 
the Company ceased recording depreciation expense once the assets 
met the qualification criteria of held for sale, which varied from October 
to December 2002.  The effect of these adjustments is included in the 
net income and shareholders’ equity reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under 
paragraph (gg) below.

aa.   Elimination of discontinued operations

Under Chilean GAAP, no restatement to the financial statement 
information presented in previous years is required after a divestiture 
has occurred.  Under US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the 
discontinued operations of a component must be retroactively separated 
from the continuing operations of an entity, when the operations and 
cash flows of a component which will be eliminated from the ongoing 
operations of an entity as a result of a disposal transaction will not have 
any significant continuing involvement in the operations of a component 
after the disposal transaction.

The Company evaluated whether any of the assets held for sale met 
either criteria, noting that the transmission lines and power plant are not 
components, as they are included as a part of larger cash flow generating 
groups, and the operations of these assets cannot be separated from 
their respective groups.  Additionally, Endesa-Chile plans to continue 
generating revenues from Canutillar through a purchase power agreement, 
management agreement, and a transmission leasing arrangement with 
the future buyer.  Infraestructura 2000 S.A. meets the conditions for being 
classified as a discontinued operation, because it has distinct and separable 
financial results from operations and cash flows.  As a result of the disposal 
the results of operations of the reporting unit have been eliminated from 
the ongoing operations of Enersis, as Enersis will not have any continuing 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

involvement in the operations of Infraestructura 2000 S.A. after its sale.  
The Rio Maipo facility was classified as “held for sale” on December 31, 
2002.  In April, 2003, the Company sold facility.  In accordance with SFAS 
144, the Company determined that the Rio Maipo did not meet the criteria 
to be classified as a discontinued operations as Enersis will have a significant 
continuing involvement through continuing sales to Rio Maipo’ though its 
subsidiary Endesa – Chile.  The effect of restating discontinued operations 
is included in the net income reconciliation to U.S. GAAP under paragraph 
(gg) below.

bb.   Effects of minority interest on the U.S. GAAP adjustments

The net income and shareholders’ equity under Chilean GAAP is 
adjusted at the U.S. GAAP footnote for the impact of the U.S. GAAP 
reconciling items on the allocation of income and loss to minority interests.  
The effect of this adjustments is included in net income and shareholders’ 
equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (gg) below.  The sum 
of this adjustment and the minority interest reflected in our consolidated 
income statement and balance sheet for each period presented under 
Chilean GAAP represents the allocation of our results and shareholders’ 
equity to our minority shareholders under U.S. GAAP.

cc.    Extraordinary Items

In 2002, the Company incurred a Chilean GAAP extraordinary charge 
in accordance with Decree No. 1,949 of the Republic of Colombia for a tax 
that will be used for Colombia’s democratic security, as disclosed in Note 27 
Extraordinary Items. Under U.S. GAAP, this charge is classified as income tax 
expense in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 
109), as discussed in Note 37 II k) Reclassification to U.S. GAAP.

dd.  Negative Goodwill CERJ

In January 2003, CERJ, one of our Brazilian subsidiaries approved a 
capital increase as a result of which our ownership interest in CERJ increases, 
as certain minority shareholders, including certain wholly owned subsidiaries 
of Endesa-Spain, Enersis ultimate parent company did not participate.

Under Chile GAAP in accordance with BT. No 42 and SVS Circular 368 
the company recognized the value of the discount between the amount 
contributed and the underlying net book in the company was recognized as 
a negative goodwill, to be amortized over a 20 year period. In accordance 
the appropriate guidance, Enersis is allowed to fully amortized into income 
the amount of any negative goodwill, if during the first year subsequent 
to the capital increase the amount of the losses incurred by the subsidiary 
is in excess the amount of negative goodwill. During 2003, CERJ incurred 
losses in excess of the negative would recognized consequently Enersis 
fully amortized into income the negative goodwill originally recognized. 
Under US GAAP, the transaction would be considered a transaction 
between entities under common control in which the minority interest 
did not participate, consequently similar to the guidance in FTB No. 85-5, 
Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations the transaction is 
accounted for as a recovery from the minority interest.. Consequently the 
amount of the discount under book value is accounted for directly as an 
increase of consolidated equity.

ee.  Extinguishment of debt 

In March 2003, certain bondholders were granted an option to 
exchange between November 1, and 15 2003 their bonds in exchange for 
shares of the Company at a fixed price of Ch 60.4202. Under Chile GAAP 
the transaction was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity with 
the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the strike price 
of the conversion recognized directly in equity a share premium. Under 
US GAAP the transaction should be recognized as an extinguishment of 
debt in accordance with APB No. 14, using as reacquisition price of the 
extinguished debt the value of the common issued or the value of the 
debt—whichever is more clearly evident, as Enersis stock is publicly trade 
the fair value of the shares is being considered to be more clearly evident. 
The average conversion price during November 2003, the conversion period 
was Ch 78 per share. 

The effects in net income and shareholders’ equity of the US GAAP 

adjustment are presented in note (gg) below.

ff.  Asset retirement obligations

Under Chilean GAAP, there is no requirement to record obligations 
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.  Under U.S. 
GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement 
Obligations” effective January 1, 2003.  Previously, the Company had not 
been recognizing amounts related to asset retirement obligations under 
U.S. GAAP.  

SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a legal 
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period of its inception. 
For the Company, such liabilities primarily relate to assets.  The liability 
is recorded at its net present value with a corresponding increase in the 
carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each 
period, representing the time value of money, and the capitalized cost is 
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

191

As SFAS No. 143 required retrospective application to the inception 
of the liability, the effects of the adoption reflect the accretion and 
depreciation from the liability inception date through  December 31, 2002.  
The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on prior years 
resulted in a charge to income of ThCh$280,490 (net of income taxes 
and minority interest of ThCh$150,612) (Ch$0.03 per share) during the 
year ended December 31, 2003.  The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 
143 on the year ended December 31, 2003 was to decrease net income 
in accordance with U.S. GAAP before the cumulative effect of the change 
in accounting principle by ThCh$25,719 (net of income taxes and minority 
interest of ThCh$12,760) (Ch$0.001 per share).  The effects of this U.S. 
GAAP adjustment on net income and shareholders’ equity are presented 
in note (gg) below.

In Peru, where we have eight hydroelectric plants and one 
thermoelectric plant, existing legislation includes the requirement for 
entities with electrical assets to conduct retirement activities when 
operations cease.  In Chile, under certain concession decrees governing 
four distribution lines, we are similarly required to conduct retirement 
activities upon cessation of operations.

The effects in net income of the US GAAP adjustment are presented 

gg.  Effect of conforming to U.S. GAAP

The earnings per share figures for both U.S. GAAP and Chilean GAAP purposes have been calculated by dividing the respective earnings (loss) amounts in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Chilean GAAP, respectively, by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  The Company has not issued convertible debt or contingent equity securities.  Consequently, there are no potentially dilutive effects on the earnings 
per share of the Company.

e.  Concentration of risk:

The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any unusual credit risk from any single customer.  The Company’s debtors are dependent on the 

economy in Latin America, which could make them vulnerable to downturns in the economic activity in the countries in which the Company operates.

No single customers accounted for more than 10% of revenues for the years ending December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003.

i.  Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

•  Long-term accounts receivable

The following methods and assumption were used to estimate the fair 
value of each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 
2003 for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

The fair value of long-term accounts receivable was estimated using 
the interest rates that are currently offered for loans with similar terms and 
remaining maturities.

•  Cash

•  Long-term debt

The fair value of the Company’s cash is equal to its carrying value.

The fair value of long-term debt was based on rates currently available 

to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

•  Time deposits

The fair value of time deposits approximates carrying value due to the 

•  Derivative instruments

relatively short-term nature.

•  Marketable securities

202

The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market 
prices of the mutual money market funds held and approximates carrying 
value.

Estimates of fair values of derivative instruments for which no quoted 
prices or secondary market exists have been made using valuation 
techniques such as forward pricing models, present value of estimated 
future cash flows, and other modeling techniques.  These estimates of fair 
value include assumptions made by the Company about market variables 
that may change in the future.  Changes in assumptions could have a 
significant impact on the estimate of fair values disclosed.  As a result 
such fair value amounts are subject to significant volatility and are highly 
dependent on the qualify of the assumptions used.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments compared to Chilean GAAP carrying amounts are as follows:

Cash

Time deposits

Marketable securities

j.  Derivative instruments

The Company is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the 
price of electricity, primary materials such as natural gas, petroleum, coal, 
and other energy-related products, interest rates, and foreign exchange 
rates.  The Company employs policies and procedures to manage its 
risks associated with these market fluctuation on a global basis through 
strategic contract selection, fixed-rate and variable-rate portfolio targets, 
net investment hedges, and financial derivatives.  All derivatives that do 
not qualify for the normal purchase and sales exemption under SFAS No. 
133 are recorded at their fair value.  On the date that swaps, futures, 
forwards or option contracts are entered into, the Company designates 
the derivatives as a “hedge”, if the documentation is not appropriate 
to designate as a “hedge” the derivative’s mark-to-market adjustment 
flows through the income statement.  The Company does not have the 
appropriate documentation in place to designate contracts as hedges of a 
forecasted transaction or future cash flows (cash flow hedge) or as a hedge 
of a recognized assets, liability or firm commitment (fair value hedge).

The Company has classified its derivatives into the following general 
categories: commodity derivatives, embedded derivatives, and financial 
derivatives.  Certain energy and other contracts for the Company’s 
operations in Chile are denominated in the US dollar.  According to SFAS 
No. 133, an embedded foreign currency derivative should be separated 
from the host contract because none of the applicable exclusions are met 
(See Embedded Derivative Contracts below).  For purposes of evaluating 
the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Argentina, Perú, 
Brazil, and Colombia, the Company applied BT 64, consistent with the 
methodology described in paragraph (s), thus the functional currency of 
these subsidiaries was the US dollar as these subsidiaries were remeasured 
into US dollars because foreign subsidiaries operate in countries exposed 
to significant risks as determined under BT 64.

The following is a summary of the Company’s adjustment to fair values 
for all identified derivative contracts as of December 31, 2002 and 2003.

203

Certain Company’s generation and distribution commodity contracts 
could be seen as contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under 
SFAS No. 133 and would be required to be accounted for at fair value.  These 
conditions are (i) have an underlying, which is the market price of power at 
the delivery location and a notional amount specified in the contract; (ii) 
have no initial payment on entering into the contract; and (iii) have a net 
settlement provision or have the characteristic of net settlement because 
power is readily convertible to cash, as it is both fungible and actively traded 
in the country of generation or country of distribution.

The Company assessed that its commodity contracts that are 
requirements contracts do no meet the above definition because the 
contracts do not have notional amounts, as they only have maximum 
amounts or no specified amounts, and do not include an implicit or explicit 
minimum amount in a settlement or a default clause.  A requirements 
contract allows the purchaser to use as many units of power as required 
to satisfy its actual needs for power during the period of the contract, and 
the party is not permitted to buy more than its actual needs.

The Company concluded that all of its power is readily convertible to 
cash as energy is actively traded, or the Company has access, to markets 
where energy is actively traded.  However, only certain participants have 
access to the energy markets, thus determination as to whether energy 
could be considered readily convertible to cash was analyzed on a country 
by country basis.  Currently, Chilean distributors do not have access to the 
Chilean spot market, however this could change in the future if energy 
regulations are changed. The Company has also concluded that multiple-
delivery long-term power contracts meet the net settlement characteristic.  
Management multiple-delivery long-term power contracts are readily 
convertible to cash because the Company operates in countries with 
active spot markets, that although they contain varying levels of liquidity, 
can rapidly absorb the contract’s quantities at each delivery date without 
significantly affecting the price, and thus meet the definition of net 
settlement, consequently these contracts are accounted for as derivatives 
that under SFAS No.133.

consolidated financial statements 

Net lnvestment Hedges

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-
term debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which is the 
US dollar.  This risk is mitigated, as a substantial portion of the Company’s 
revenues are either directly or indirectly linked to the US dollar.  Additionally, 
the Company records the foreign exchange gains and losses on liabilities 
related to net investments in foreign countries which are denominated in 
the same currency as the functional currency of those foreign investments.  
Such unrealized gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation 
adjustment account in shareholders equity, and in this way act as a net 
investment hedge of the exchange risk affecting the investments (see Note ll 
(c) and Note 22 (f) for further detail).  The Company also uses short duration 
forward foreign currency contracts and swaps, and cross-currency swaps, 
where possible, to manage its risk related to foreign currency fluctuations.  
These contracts are considered “cover” contracts under Chilean GAAP.  In 
accordance with Chilean GAAP the gain and losses on these contracts are 
deferred until realized as assets or liabilities.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, as the Company has not met the requirements 
for designating these derivatives contracts as “hedges”, the contracts are 
recorded at fair value in the balance sheet with any unrealized gain and/or 
losses being directly recorded in the income statement.

k.  Reclassification to U.S. GAAP

Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP income 
statement in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with 
presentation requirements under U.S. GAAP.  Amortization of negative 
goodwill, amortization of goodwill, and certain other non-operating income 
and expense, would be included in operating income.  Recoverable taxes 
included in other non-operating revenues would be recorded as part of 
income taxes under U.S. GAAP.  Equity participation in income or losses of 
related companies included in non-operating income would be presented 
after income taxes and minority interest in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The 
following reclassifications included in the column labeled “Reclassifications” 
disclose amounts using a U.S. GAAP presentation, although the amounts 
displayed have been determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP:

Because both the purchases and sales interconnection contracts are for 
periods up to 20 years in complex markets, where no similar term forward 
market information is available, the Company has estimated such values 
based on the best information available, including using modeling and 
other valuation techniques.  The Company has recorded the best estimate 
of fair value, however with different assumptions such as interest rates, 
inflation rates, exchange rates, electricity rates, and increases in cost trends, 
materially different fair values could result.  As a result such estimates are 
highly volatile and dependent upon the assumptions used.  The assumption 
to measure the fair value of these interconnection related contracts using 
the Argentine market prices may have a significant effect on the Company’s 
net income and shareholders’ equity.

Such values are included in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP in Note 37 

paragraph (gg).

Embedded Derivative Contracts

The Company enters into certain contracts that have embedded features 
that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract.  As specified 
in SFAS No. 133, bifurcation analysis focuses on whether the economic 
characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely 
related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract.  In 
certain identified contracts, the host service contract and the embedded 
feature are not indexed to the same underlying and changes in the price 
or value of service will not always correspond to changes in the price of the 
commodity to which the contract is indexed. U.S. GAAP requires embedded 
features to be measured at fair value as freestanding instruments.  Unless 
the embedded contracts are remeasured at fair value under otherwise 
applicable GAAP, the embedded feature must be valued at fair value with 
changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur.

Embedded foreign currency derivative instruments are not separated 
from the host contract and considered a derivative instrument if the host 
contract is not a financia1 instrument and it requires payments denominated 
in either: (1) the functional currency of any substantial patty to the 
contract. (2) the local currency of any substantial party to the contract, 
(3) the currency used because the primary economic environment is highly 
inflationary, or (4) the currency in which the good or service is routinely 
denominated in international commerce.

Financial Derivatives

Changes in interest rates expose the Company to risk as a result of 
its portfolio of fixed-rate and variable rate debt.  The Company manages 
interest rate risk exposure on a global basis by limiting its variable rate 
and fixed-rate exposures to certain variable/fixed mixes set by policy.  The 
Company manages interest rate risk through the use of interest rate swaps 
and collars and cross-currency swaps.  The Company does not enter into 
financia1 instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP 
balance sheet in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance 
with presentation requirements under U.S. GAAP.  Deferred taxes from 
depreciation differences that are recorded as short-term under Chilean 
GAAP would be recorded as long-term under U.S. GAAP.  Real estate 
properties under development and construction-in-progress are included 
in current assets as inventory in Chilean GAAP and under U.S. GAAP such 
assets would have been included as property, plant and equipment.  

Additionally, the regulated asset recorded during 2001 by Coelce and 
Cerj, Brazilian subsidiaries, has been partially recorded in trade receivables 
and an additional component was recorded in current assets by Coelce 
under Chilean GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP the presentation of these 
regulated assets  should be classified as non-current assets as the recovery 
of these assets is not expected in the short term.  These reclassifications 
exclude consolidation of development stage companies, the effect of which 
is immaterial.

l.  Employee Benefit Plans

Benefits for Retired Personnel

Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries sponsor various benefit plans for its 

current and retired employees.  A description of such’ benefits follows:

Severance indemnities

The provision for severance indemnities, included in the account 
“Accrued expenses” short and long-term is calculated in accordance 
with the policy set forth in Note 2 (n), using the current salary levels of 
all employees covered under the severance indemnities agreement, an 
assumed discount rate of 9.5% for the years ended December 31,2001,2002 
and 2003, and an estimated average service period based on the years of 
services for the Company.

Other benefits provided to certain retired personnel of Enersis include 
electrical service rate subsidies, additional medical insurance and additional 
post-retirement benefits.  Descriptions of these benefits for retired personnel 
are as follows:

i)   Electrical rate service

This benefit is extended only to certain retired personnel of Enersis.  
These electric rate subsidies result in the eligible retired employees 
paying  a  percentage  of  their  total  monthly  electricity  costs,  with 
Enersis paying the difference.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

 
ii)   Medical benefits

This benefit provides supplementary health insurance, which covers a 
portion of health benefits not covered under the institutional health 
benefits maintained by employees of Enersis.  This benefit expires at 
the time of death of the pensioner.

iii)  Supplementary pension benefits

Eligible employees are able to receive a monthly amount designed to 
cover a portion of the difference between their salary at the point of 
retirement and the theoretical pension that would have been received 
had the employee reached the legal retirement age of the Institución 
de Previsión Social (Institute of Social Welfare).  This benefit expires 
upon the death of the pensioner for the Enersis employee, however, 
continues to cover the surviving-spouse in the case of employees of 
the subsidiary Endesa-Chile.

iv)  Worker’s compensation benefits

Employees  that  were  entitled  to  Worker’s  compensation  insurance 
in  prior  years  for  work  related  injuries  receive  benefits  from  the 
Company when that insurance expires.  This benefit continues at the 
time of death of the pensioner, to cover the surviving-spouse.

The Company has recognized liabilities related to complementary 
pension plan benefits and other postretirement benefits as stipulated 
in collective bargaining agreements.  Under U.S. GAAP, post-retirement 
employee benefits have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 87 
and SFAS No. 106, with inclusion of prior-period amounts in current year’s 
income as the amounts are not considered significant to the overall financial 
statement presentation.  The effects of accounting for post-retirement 
benefits under U.S. GAAP have been presented in paragraph (gg), above.  
The following data represents Chile GAAP amounts presented under FAS 
N°132 Revised 2003 Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and other 
postretirement Benefits, for Company’s post-retirement benefit plans.

Followings is a schedule of estimated pay-out of pension benefits in 

each of the next five years:

(n) Discontinued operations

In October of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 which is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 establishes 
accounting and reporting standards for the impairment and disposal of 
long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The Company adopted 
SFAS No. 144 in 2002. All prior year reporting periods have been restated 
to reflect the adoption. The application of this statement resulted in the 
classification, and separate financial presentation of certain entities as 

discontinued operations, the results of which are not included in continuing 
operations. There was no impairment of assets related to discontinued 
operations, as their fair value exceeded their carrying value. Fair values 
used in these calculations has been determined by using the agreed upon 
sales prices.

In 2002, the Endesa Chile (Enersis Subsidiary) committed to a plan to 
dispose the 60% equity participation it held in the consolidated subsidiary, 
Infraestructura Dos Mil S.A.  It was accounted for as discontinued operations 
in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and, accordingly, amounts in reconciliation 
of net income to US GAAP and the additional disclosure notes required under 
US GAAP for all periods shown, reflect that component as a discontinued 
operation.

The net sales from discontinued operations for the years 2001 and 
2002 were ThCh$20,150,123 and ThCh$20,202,007, respectively.  The major

(o) Goodwill and intangible assets

As discussed in Note 37 paragraph (i), Enersis S.A. adopted SFAS 
142, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain 
intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.  Instead, FAS 142 requires 
that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life 
be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142, effective January 
1, 2002 and annually thereafter. Under SFAS 142, goodwill impairment 

is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its 
estimated fair value.  The Company’s reporting units are at the operating 
subsidiary level.  This methodology differs from Enersis’s previous policy, 
as provided under accounting standards existing at that time of using 
undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if 
goodwill was recoverable.  Subsequent to adoption 2002 of SFAS No. 142 
due to change in circunstances, the Company recognized a non-cash charge 
of ThCh$600,380,013 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.

consolidated financial statements 

In calculating the impairment charge, the fair value of the impaired 
reporting units underlying the segments were estimated using discounted 
cash flow methodology. The ThCh$600,380,013 goodwill impairment is 
associated entirely with goodwill associated with investments in Argentina 
and Brazil. The impairment reflects the decline in the Company’s revenues 
and forecasted cash flows in their Argentina and Brazilian subsidiaries and 
the increase in inflation and interest rates and decreasing expectations of 

the currencies in Argentina and Brazil.  Prior to performing the review for 
impairment, SFAS 142 required that all goodwill deemed to be related to 
the entity as a whole be assigned to all of the Company’s reporting units, 
including the reporting units of the acquirer.

A summary of the changes in the Company’s goodwill under U.S. 
GAAP during the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, by country of 
operation and segment is as follows:

q.  Recent accounting pronouncements

The following new accounting standards have been adopted by the 
Company during the year-ended December 31, 2003 and the impact of 
such adoption, if applicable, has been presented in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

i. 

In October 2002, the EITF reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 
02-03.  Primarilly, the final consensus provided for (1) the rescission 
of the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 98-10, (2) the reporting 
of  gains  and  losses  on  all  derivative  instruments  considered  to  be 
held for trading purposes to be shown on a net basis in the income 
statement,  and  (3)  gains  and  losses  on  non-derivative  energy 
trading  contracts  to  be  similarly  presented  on  a  gross  or  net  basis, 
in connection with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting 
Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”.

The Company adopted the on EITF Issue No. 02-03, as of January 1, 
2003 the adoption of this consensus did not have a material impact 
on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or 
financial position.

ii.  SFAS  No.  149,  “Amendment  of  Statement  133  on  Derivative 
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities.”In  April  2003,  the  FASB  issued 
SFAS No. 149, which amends and clarifies financial accounting and 
reporting  for  derivative  instruments  and  for  hedging  activities, 
including  the  qualifications  for  the  normal  purchases  and  normal 
sales  exception,  under  SFAS  No.  133.  The  amendment  reflects 
decisions  made  by  the  FASB  and  the  DIG  process  in  connection 
with issues raised about the application of SFAS No. 133. Generally, 
the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  149  are  to  be  applied  prospectively  for 
contracts  entered  into  or  modified  after  June  30,  2003  and  for 
hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 
provisions that resulted from the DIG process that became effective 
in quarters beginning before June 15, 2003 continue to be applied 
based upon their original effective dates. The Company adopted the 
provisions of SFAS No. 149 on July 1, 2003. Certain modifications and 
changes to the applicability of the normal purchase and normal sales 
scope exception for contracts to deliver electricity led The Company 
to re-evaluate its policy for accounting for forward sales contracts. As 
a result, The Company elected to designate substantially all forward 
contracts to sell power entered into after July 1, 2003 as cash flow 
hedges on a prospective basis. Contracts that were being accounted 
for  under  the  normal  purchases  and  normal  sales  exception  under 
SFAS  No.  133  as  of  June  30,  2003  will  continue  to  be  accounted 
for  under  such  exception,  including  following  any  modifications  to 
these contracts, as long as the requirements for applying the normal 
purchases and normal sales exception are met. 

iii.  On June 25, 2003, the FASB cleared the guidance contained in DIG 
Issue C20, “Scope Exceptions: Interpretation of the Meaning of ‘Not 
Clearly and Closely Related’ in Paragraph 10(b) regarding Contracts 
with  a  Price  Adjustment  Feature.”  DIG  Issue  C20,  which  applies 
only  to  the  guidance  in  paragraph  10(b)  of  FASB  No.  133  and  not 
in  reference  to  embedded  derivatives,  describes  circumstances  in 
which the underlying in a price adjustment clause incorporated into 
a contract that otherwise satisfies the requirements for the normal 
purchases  and  normal  sales  exception  would  be  considered  to  be 
“not clearly and closely related to the asset being sold or purchased.” 
The guidance in DIG Issue C20 was effective for the Company on July 
1,  2003.  The  Company’s  review  of  existing  contracts  designated  as 
normal  purchases  and  normal  sales  under  FASB  No.  133  yielded 
no  instances  where  an  embedded  price  adjustment  clause  was 
not  clearly  and  closely  related  to  the  contract’s  underlying.  As  a 
result, this issue did not have a material impact on The Company’s 
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. 

iv.  EITF  Issue  No.  01-08,  “Determining  Whether  an  Arrangement 
Contains a Lease.”    In May 2003, the EITF reached consensus in EITF 
Issue No. 01-08 to clarify the requirements of identifying whether an 
arrangement  should  be  accounted  for  as  a  lease  at  its  inception. 
The guidance in the consensus is designed to broaden the scope of 
arrangements accounted for as leases. EITF Issue No. 01-08 requires 
both  parties  to  an  arrangement  to  determine  whether  a  service 
contract  or  similar  arrangement  is,  or  includes,  a  lease  within  the 
scope  of  SFAS  No.  13,  “Accounting  for  Leases.”  The  Company  has 
historically provided capacity agreements both as the lessee and as 
a  lessor.  Upon  application  of  EITF  Issue  No.  01-08,  the  accounting 
requirements under the consensus may impact the timing of revenue 
and  expense  recognition,  and  amounts  previously  reported  as 

213

consolidated financial statements 

 
majority  of  the  expected  residual  returns  of  the  variable  interest 
entity’s activities. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R, which 
supercedes and amends certain provisions of FIN 46. While FIN 46R 
retains many of the concepts and provisions of FIN 46, it also provides 
additional guidance related to the application of FIN 46, provides for 
certain  additional  scope  exceptions,  and  incorporates  several  FASB 
Staff Positions issued related to the application of FIN 46. 

The  provisions  of  FIN  46  are  immediately  applicable  to  variable 
interest  entities  created,  or  interests  in  variable  interest  entities 
obtained, after January 31, 2003 and the provisions of FIN 46R are 
required  to  be  applied  to  such  entities,  except  for  special  purpose 
entities, by the end of the first reporting period ending after March 
15, 2004 (December 31, 2004 for The Company). For variable interest 
entities  created,  or  interests  in  variable  interest  entities  obtained, 
on or before January 31, 2003, FIN 46 or FIN 46R is required to be 
applied to special-purpose entities by the end of the first reporting 
period  ending  after  December  15,  2003  (December  31,  2003  for 
calendar-year  entities)  and  is  required  to  be  applied  to  all  other 
non-special purpose entities by the end of the first reporting period 
ending after March 15, 2004 (December 31, 2004 for calendar-year 
entities).  FIN  46  and  FIN  46R  may  be  applied  prospectively  with  a 
cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date it is first applied, or by 
restating  previously  issued  financial  statements  with  a  cumulative-
effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. FIN 46 
and FIN 46R also require certain disclosures of an entity’s relationship 
with variable interest entities. 

The Company has not identified any material variable interest entities 
created,  or  interests  in  variable  entities  obtained,  after  January  31, 
2003  which  requires  consolidation  or  disclosure  under  FIN  46  and 
continues to assess the existence of any interests in variable interest 
entities  created  on  or  prior  to  January  31,  2003.    The  Company 
continues  to  assess  the  potential  impacts  of  FIN  46R  but  does  not 
anticipate  that  it  will  have  a  material  impact  on  its  consolidated 
results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

214

revenues may be required to be reported as rental or lease income. 
Should  capital  lease  treatment  be  necessary,  purchasers  in  these 
arrangements  are  required  to  recognize  assets  on  their  balance 
sheets. The consensus will be applied prospectively to arrangements 
agreed  to,  modified,  or  acquired  in  business  combinations  on  or 
after January 1, 2004. Previous arrangements that would be leases 
or would contain a lease according to the consensus will continue to 
be  accounted  for  under  historical  accounting.  The  adoption  of  EITF 
Issue No. 01-08 would not have a material effect on the Company’s 
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. 

v.  EITF  Issue  No.  03-11,  “Reporting  Realized  Gains  and  Losses  on 
Derivative Instruments That Are Subject to FASB Statement No. 133, 
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Not 
Held for Trading Purposes. ”In July 2003, the EITF reached consensus 
in EITF Issue No. 03-11 that determining whether realized gains and 
losses on derivative contracts not held for trading purposes should be 
reported on a net or gross basis is a matter of judgment that depends 
on the relevant facts and circumstances and the economic substance 
of  the  transaction.  In  analyzing  the  facts  and  circumstances,  EITF 
Issue No. 99-19, and Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary 
Transactions,” should be considered. EITF Issue No. 03-11 was effective 
for  transactions  or  arrangements  entered  into  after  December  31, 
2003. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 03-11 would not have a material 
effect  on  The  Company’s  consolidated  results  of  operations,  cash 
flows or financial position. 

vi.  Revised  SFAS  No.  132,  “Employers’  Disclosures  about  Pensions  and 
Other Postretirement Benefits. ”In December 2003, the FASB revised 
the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  132  to  include  additional  disclosures 
related  to  defined  benefit  pension  plans  and  other  defined  benefit 
postretirement  plans,  such  as  the  following:  (1)  long-term  rate  of 
return  on  plan  assets  along  with  narrative  discussion  of  basis  for 
selecting the rate of return used; (2) information about plan assets 
for each major asset category (i.e. equity securities, debt securities, 
real  estate,  etc)  along  with  the  targeted  allocation  percentage  of 
plan assets by each major asset category and the actual allocation 
percentage  at  the  measurement  date;  (3)  amount  of  benefit 
payments expected to be paid in each of the next five years and the 
following five year period, in the aggregate; (4) current best estimate 
of range of contributions expected to be made in following year; (5) 
the accumulated benefit obligation for defined benefit pension plans; 
and  (6)  disclosure  of  measurement  date  utilized.  The  provisions  of 
revised SFAS No. 132 do not change the measurement or recognition 
provisions  of  defined  benefit  pension  and  postretirement  plans 
as  required  by  previous  accounting  standards.  Except  as  discussed 
below, the provisions of revised SFAS No. 132 are effective for fiscal 
years  ending  after  December  15,  2003  (December  31,  2003  for 
calendar-year entities). The disclosure provisions of estimated future 
benefit payments and information about foreign plans are effective 
for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004 (December 31, 2004 for 
the Company).  See Note 37 II (l) for additional disclosures required 
as of December 31, 2003. 

vii.  FASB  Interpretation  No.  46  (FIN  46),  “Consolidation  of  Variable 
Interest Entities.”    In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 which 
requires  the  primary  beneficiary  of  a  variable  interest  entity’s 
activities  to  consolidate  the  variable  interest  entity.  FIN  46  defines 
a  variable  interest  entity  as  an  entity  in  which  the  equity  investors 
do  not  have  substantive  voting  rights  and  there  is  not  sufficient 
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional 
subordinated financial support. The primary beneficiary is the party 
that  absorbs  a  majority  of  the  expected  losses  and/or  receives  a

Enersis S.A. (Parent Company)

Capital Increase of Cerj

With reference to the above, and taking into consideration the 
provisions established, the effects of the extraordinary adjustments and 
charges on the results of the company will amount to approximately the 
equivalent in Chilean Pesos of US$ 290 million. 

On December 10, 2002 the Extraordinary General Meeting of the 
Shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the capital of CERJ 
of approximately US$M 105,000.

Provisional dividend

This increase took place on January 10, 2003 by means of an issue and 
subscription of 770,833,333,333 new ordinary shares valued at R$ 0.48 
per lot of one thousand shares, totaling the US$M 100,000 approved at 
the Meeting and which increased the capital of the Company by US$M 
259,085. 

With this operation, the direct participation held by Enersis S.A. through 

its agency rose from 20.38% to 40.03%. 

Accounting adjustments and extraordinary charges 
during the 2002 period 

At an extraordinary meeting held on January 15, 2003 the Board of 
Directors of Enersis S.A. agreed to take note of the fact that the Company 
was to make accounting adjustments and extraordinary charges to the 
Balance Sheet with respect to its investments in its subsidiaries in Chile 
and abroad for a total of the equivalent of US$ 387 million in Chilean 
Pesos, reflecting these extraordinary adjustments in the results for the 
year 2002. 

These adjustments and extraordinary charges will not have an 
impact on the cash flows of the Company and will be reflected in the 
financial statements of Enersis S.A. corresponding to the year 2002. The 
adjustments and extraordinary charges made and the provisions established 
as of November 30, 2002 are broken down as follows (the figures shown 
correspond to the impact on the financial statements of Enersis S.A.):

At a meeting held on February 10, 2003 the Board of Directors of Enersis 
S.A. unanimously agreed to pay a dividend in the month of February, 2003 
as the conditions foreseen not in the Company’s Policy on Dividends were 
not present. 

Financial strengthening  

At an extraordinary meeting held on October 4, 2002 the Board of 
Directors of Enersis S.A. approved a financial strengthening plan aimed 
at strengthening the equity by improving its credit structure to permit 
the Company to face the situation in the region that was affecting its 
investments.

For this, the same letter announced a capital increase of US$ 
1,500,000,000 (One thousand five hundred million United States Dollars), 
which contemplated cash contributions and / or contributions consisting 
of financial credits.  

With respect to this capital increase, the Board of Enersis S.A., in its 
meeting held on February 17 of this year, has decided, with the unanimous 
vote of those members present, to propose to the shareholders at a General 
Meeting to be held for that purpose, that the amount of the capital increase 
be for the Chilean Peso equivalent to US$ 2,000,000,000 (Two thousand 
million United States Dollars), thus increasing by US$ 500,000,000 (Five 
hundred million Unites States Dollars) the figure originally contemplated. 
As informed in the mentioned Essential Fact letter, the capital increase 
contemplates cash contributions and / or contributions consisting of 
financial credits.

2.  Place at the disposal of the Shareholders a specialists report on the 
obligations referred to in the point above, which shall be submitted 
for the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders 
indicated above. 

The purchase price of the shares mentioned above offered by CGE

this operation on the results of ENERSIS S.A. will be approximately US$ 
126 million before tax.    

Refinancing bank debt    

At a meeting held on March 11 of this year, the Board of the Company 

agreed the following: 

1.  ENERSIS  S.A.  (Enersis)  and  its  subsidiary,  Empresa  Nacional  de 
Electricidad  S.A.  (Endesa-Chile)  gave  mandates  in  order  to  initiate 
the  syndication  of  credits  for  approximately  US$  2.3  thousand 
million, after reaching an agreement with the four lead banks. BBVA 
S.A.,  Dresdner  Kleinwort  Wasserstein,  Salomon  Smith  Barney  Inc. 
and  Santander  Central  Hispano  Investment  Securities  have  agreed 
with  Enersis  and  Endesa  Chile  to  put  into  place  an  operation  to 
refinance their bank borrowings. Enersis’ credit is for approximately 
US$  1.6  thousand  million  whilst  that  of  Endesa  Chile  amounts  to 
approximately US$ 0.7 thousand million. The group of four entities 
holding  the  mandate  account  for  approximately  US$  1.1  thousand 
million of the debt to be refinanced by the Group on a consolidated 
basis. 

2.  The principal objective of this refinance that falls within the Financial 
Strengthening  Plan  of  these  companies  is,  amongst  others,  to 
reduce consolidated borrowings by approximately US$ 2.2 thousand 
million. 

218

3.  The refinancing proposed has a new term up to 2008 with half-yearly 
amortizations commencing 30 months from the initiation of the new 
operation. Furthermore, the clause that permitted a demand for the 
pre-payment in the event of a deterioration of the credit rating given 
by the risk rating agencies will be replaced by a series of new financial 
covenants and commitments that will match their business plan. 

4.  Also considered is that the new operation will have certain additional 
guarantees,  within  the  Enersis  Group,  that  will  be  compatible  with 
the limits permitted by the contracts that cover the rest of the current 
debts of Enersis and Endesa Chile.

5.  The conditions of the operation have been agreed by the four banks 
mentioned and by the Directors of Enersis and Endesa Chile and will 
be presented shortly to the rest of the banks for their consideration 
and approval. 

Río Maipo awarded

At a meeting held on March 28, 2003 the Board of Directors of ENERSIS 
S.A. analyzed the offers received for the entire shares that ENERSIS S.A. 
holds in its Chilean subsidiary, Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A. (Río 
Maipo).

Furthermore, the Board has agreed to propose to the Extraordinary 
General Meeting of Shareholders of ENERSIS S.A. to be held on March 31, 
2003 that it authorize the sale of all the shares owned by ENERSIS S.A. 
issued by Río Maipo (356,078,645 shares), declared as essential assets, 
in favor of CGE Distribución S.A., a subsidiary of Compañía General de 
Electricidad S.A., that has presented the best purchase offer. 

Increase in capital of Enersis, repurchase of Yankee Bonds

At a meeting held on March 28, 2003 the Board of Enersis S.A. agreed 
to propose the following operation to the Board of Directors of its subsidiary 
Enersis Internacional: To purchase from the shareholders of Enersis S.A. 
that hold the right to participate in the second preferential option period of 
the capital increase to be submitted to the Extraordinary General Meeting 
of Shareholders to be held on March 31, 2003, the American bonds that 
Enersis S.A.’s  agency in Cayman Islands issued in November 1966 on the 
international market (Yankee Bonds). This purchase will take place with 
a global and total limit of US$ 50 million and in the other conditions 
established  below or those additional terms that may be established by 
Enersis Internacional and will be advised to the market at the time. This 
acquisition will reflect a sign of support of the shareholders of Enersis S.A. 
who, in addition are holders of Yankee Bonds, which will motivate a greater 
subscription of the shares issued in this capital increase. The mechanism 
described shall have the additional benefit of reducing the consolidated 
debt of the Company, replacing it with equity. The purchase of the Yankee 
Bonds will be made at the same price estimated by the expert, Eduardo 
Walker in his expert report dated March 6, 2003 which has been widely 
circulated amongst the shareholders and the market in general and, for a 
limited amount, considering each shareholder individually, equivalent to 
the amount required for the shareholder to be in a condition to subscribe 
the pro rata that corresponds to him in the second period of the preferential 
offer of the capital increase of Enersis S.A. In accordance with the terms 
of the contract covering the purchase of the bonds he subscribes with 
Enersis Internacional, the shareholder that is selling is obliged to utilize 
the resources he will receive from the sale of his Yankee Bonds to subscribe 
the shares from the new issue of the Company. If the offers for sale of Yankee 
Bonds exceed the total and global amount of US$ 50 million, the purchase 
will be carried out, amongst all the interested parties, pro rata, in the 
conditions that will be determined by the Board of Enersis Internacional. 

Signing of the syndicated loans

On May 12, 2003, syndicated loan agreements were signed by Enersis 
S.A. and its subsidiary Endesa Chile with 32 banks to refinance borrowings 
of US$ 2,330 million. We trust this operation will be concluded at the latest 
May 15, 2003 as it is subject to the satisfaction of the various conditions 
precedent. 

The US$ 2,330 million that mature during the current year and in 2004 
will have a new term expiring in 2008 with amortizations commencing 
in the year 2005. These syndicated loans eliminate the possibility of any 
accelerated repayment of the credits due to a deterioration in the degree 
of investment rating.

In accordance with Circular Nº 988 issued by that Superintendency, we 
inform you that the rise in the average financial costs of the debt involved in 
this operation will be more than compensated by the effects of the measures 
considered in the Financial Strengthening Plan of the Group, amongst which 
is the reduction of some US$ 2,300 million in consolidated debt.    

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

Refinancing 

part of the process of rationalization and simplification of the corporate 
structure of the Endesa Group. 

Following the agreement reached by the Board of Directors of Enersis 

S.A. in the meeting on May 15 of this year, we report the following:

Provisional dividend

1.  Enersis  S.A.  (Enersis)  and 

its  subsidiary  Empresa  Nacional  de 
Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile) as of this date, have complied with all 
the conditions precedent required for the syndicated loans, signed by 
these companies with 32 banks, amongst which are all the banks that 
participated in the previous bank credits – on last May 12. Thus, the 
operation has been closed. The signing of these credits has already 
been  informed  to  that  Superintendency  in  our  Essential  Fact  letter 
dated May 12, 2003. 

2.  These syndicated loans will be utilized to refinance the debts of Enersis 
and  Endesa  Chile  for  some  US$  2,330  million,  US$  1,587  million 
corresponding to Enersis and US$ 743 million to Endesa-Chile. 

3.  The principal objective of this refinance that falls within the Financial 
Strengthening  Plan  of  these  companies,  is  to  reduce  consolidated 
borrowings by approximately US$ 2.3 thousand million. 

4.  The  syndicated  loans  consider  a  new  term  up  till  2008,  at  fixed 
annual rates for the life of the credits of Libor + 350 basis points for 
Enersis S.A. and Libor + 300 basis points for Endesa-Chile, with half-
yearly amortizations of capital to commence from November 2005. 
These  credits  contemplate  a  grace  period  of  30  months  from  May 
15, 2003 during which interest will be paid only on the new credits. 
This  will  permit  Enersis  and  its  subsidiary  Endesa-Chile  a  better 
compatibility  with  its  respective  cash  flows  during  the  initial  years 
with an adequate service of the current debt. The clause that allowed 
for an acceleration of the repayment in the potential case of a loss of 
the investment grade by Standard & Poor’s due to a deterioration in 
the risk rating granted by the risk rating agency and the clause that 
linked the interest of the credit to the risk rating of the Companies 
have been eliminated and were replaced by a series of new covenants 
and  financial  commitments  in  line  with  the  business  plans  of  the 
companies. 

5.  For the purposes of this refinancing, Enersis and Endesa-Chile have 
granted  certain  guarantees  in  favor  of  the  32  banks  mentioned 
above.  Enersis  has  given  in  lien  all  the  shares  it  owns  in  Chilectra 
S.A. and has also given under lien the credits owed to it by Chilectra 
S.A. The obligations assumed by Endesa-Chile under the new credits 
are  guaranteed  by  personal  guarantees  and  co-debtor  conditions 
its  subsidiaries  Empresa  Eléctrica  Pehuenche  S.A., 
granted  by 
Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. and Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A.

6.  The rise in the average financial costs of the aforementioned operation 
will be compensated by the effects of the measures considered in the 
Financial  Strengthening  Plan  of  the  Group,  amongst  which  is  the 
reduction of some US$ 2,300 million in consolidated debt. 

Transfer of shares in Enersis   

On August 1, 2003 this company was informed that Elesur S.A. sold 
to Endesa Internacional S.A.,  both companies 100% controlled by the 
Endesa Spain Group, 17,321,166,047 shares in Enersis S.A. corresponding 
to 56.9697% of the capital of Enersis S.A. at a price equivalent to 68.5 
pesos per share.

This transfer does not mean any change in the total share participation 
the Endesa Group holds in Enersis S.A. nor in the control that the Group 
has over Enersis S.A. Furthermore, we are advised that this was done as 

At a meeting held on July 30, 2003 the Board of Directors of Enersis 
S.A. unanimously agreed not to pay a provisional dividend in the month 
of August 2003, charged to the results of the month of June, 2003 in 
accordance with current policy on the matter, as the conditions foreseen 
in the Company’s Policy on Dividends were not present. 

Provisional dividend

S.A. unanimously agreed not to pay a provisional dividend in the month of 
November 2003, charged to the results of the month of September 2003, 
in accordance with current policy on the matter, as the conditions foreseen 
in the Company’s Policy on Dividends were not present. 

Voluntary redemption of local bonds

The process of “The Offer to Voluntarily Redeem Bonds Nº 269, Series 
B1 and B2, initiated last  November 1 was concluded on November 15, 2003. 
This process gave all holders of these bonds issued by Enersis S.A. the option 
to exchange them for first issue payment shares in the Company. 

On concluding this process, we report that a total of 893,612,466 
shares were subscribed, corresponding to Ch$ 53,992,243,918. This sum 
implies a reduction in debt for Enersis S.A. of UF 3,666,621. With this 
operation, 64.84% of the UF value of the Bonds Series B1 and B2 when it 
started were exchanged.  

219

Furthermore, as a consequence of the exchange of these bonds, the 
shareholders of Enersis S.A. registered as of the close of November 14, 2003 
may participate in the so-called Second Preferential Offer Period of the 
capital increase of the Company, having the right to subscribe 0.1196427367 
shares of a new issue for each share registered in their names as of the 
date indicated above.  

Prepayment of syndicated loans

In a meeting held on Tuesday, November 25, the Board of Directors of 

the Company agreed to report the following: 

1.  Enersis S.A. has prepaid the entire syndicated loan it had with BBVA 
S.A.,  Dresdner  Kleinwort  Wasserstein,  Salomon  Smith  Barney,  Inc. 
and Santander Central Hispano Investment Securities together with 
a  further  27  institutions  which  was  granted  on  May  15,  2003  for 
approximately  US$  1,587  million.  This  last  prepayment  implied  for 
the Company the liberation of security established in favor of those 
creditor banks, i.e., the lien on the shares owned by Enersis S.A. and 
issued  by  its  subsidiary,  Chilectra  S.A.  as  well  as  the  lien  on  inter-
company loans granted by Enersis S.A. in favor of Chilectra S.A.

2.  This last prepayment was made principally with funds from a credit 
for US$ 500 million signed on November 14, 2003 with the Banco 
Bilbao  Vizcaya  Argentaria,  The  Bank  of  Tokio-Mitsubishi  Ltd.,  Caja 
Madrid  (Agency),  Deutsche  Bank  Securities  Inc.  and  San  Paolo  IMI 
S.p.A., from the issue and placement of bonds on the United States 
market (Yankee Bonds) on November 24, 2003 for US$ 350 million 
and from other sources. The Yankee Bonds were issued at a term of 
ten years and with a bullet payment, under Rule 144A at a rate of 
7.375% per annum.  

consolidated financial statements 

3.  The  refinancing  mentioned  falls  within  the  Financial  Strengthening 

Plan adopted by the Company on October 4, 2002. 

Capital increase is concluded

At a meeting held on last December 18, the Board of Directors informed 
you by means of an Essential Fact letter of the conclusion of the Second 
Preferential Subscription Period of the capital increase of Enersis S.A. 
agreed by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 
31, 2003.

As is public knowledge, this capital increase contemplated three phases; 
two periods of preferential subscription and one period to redeem local 
bonds payable in new issue shares. 

The First Preferential Subscription Period commenced on May 31, 2003 
and concluded on June 30, 2003. The Second Preferential Subscription 
Period ran from November 20, 2003 to December 20, 2003. 

Furthermore, as also reported at the time to that Superintendency 
and to the general public, between last November 1 and 15, there was an 
“Offer to Voluntarily Redeem Bonds Nº 269, Series B1 and B2”, the result 
of which was informed to you by means of an Essential Fact letter dated 
last November 17. This process gave all the bearers of these local bonds 
issued by Enersis S.A. the option to exchange them for first issue payment 
shares in the Company. 

220

On concluding the Second Preferential Subscription Period of the capital 
increase mentioned, we report that a total of 24,360,123,331 shares were 
subscribed, corresponding to Ch$ 1,471,843,528,820. This sum implies 
that 99.9% of the capital increase approved by an Extraordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders of Enersis S.A. on March 31 is fully subscribed and 
paid in as of this date. (The part of the capital increase not subscribed and 
paid in will mature on December 30, 2003, leaving the capital of Enersis 
S.A. reduced to that actually subscribed and paid in). 

The effects this capital increase will have on the results of Enersis S.A., 
in accordance with Circular Nº 988 of that Superintendency cannot be 
reasonably quantified as of this date.

Notwithstanding the above, we must bear in mind that this capital 

increase significantly strengthens the equity structure of the company.

Elesur shares   

On December 22, 2003 Enersis S.A. was informed that its shareholder 
Elesur S.A. had sold and transferred to Endesa Internacional S.A., both 100% 
subsidiaries of the Endesa Spain Group, 1,778,826,237 shares in Enersis 
S.A., representing 5.448475% of the registered capital of Enersis S.A., at a 
price equivalent to Ch$ 84.50 per share.    

This transfer does not mean any change in the control that this Group 
has over the Company and we have been advised that this operation was 
done as part of the process of rationalization and simplification of the 
corporate structure of the Endesa Group in Spain. 

Chilectra S.A. 

Policy on dividends, investments and financing 2003

The policy on dividends with which the Board of Directors of 
Chilectra S.A. hopes to comply with a charge to the 2003 period is the 
following:

Distribute in May, August and November, 2003 and in February, 
2004 provisional dividends charged to the profits of 2003. In each of 
these months 85% of the profits derived from the normal operations 
of the Company during the quarters ending in March, June, September 
and December of that period. For the purposes of calculating the above, 
from 85% of the accumulated profit as of the quarter will be deducted the 
provisional dividends corresponding to the 2003 period already distributed 
as of the date of the payment. 

It will be understood that the results deriving from the normal 
operation, are those profits that the Company makes during the 2003 
period, without considering those received from the following events: 

•  The  effects  of  accounting  produced  as  a  result  of  the  revaluation 

adjustments made to the contributions to subsidiaries. 

•  The  effects  of  accounting  produced  by  the  registration  of  the  over-

price when the subsidiaries place their own shares. 

•  By the profits generated, directly or indirectly by the investments in 

affiliates established both in the country and abroad. 

•  By the profits generated by overseas subsidiaries or by subsidiaries in 
which the Company’s direct or indirect participation is less than 60% 
of their equity and by the profits derived from the sale of assets. 

•  By  the  registration  of  the  positive  or  negative  goodwill  of  those 

investments. 

In the event that the total contribution from these events should be 
negative, this will be taken into consideration in the calculation of the 
profit to be distributed. 

Consequently, the Board of Directors will not distribute dividends against 
a charge to the profits deriving from these events and the Ordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders will have to decide on that issue when approving 
the definite dividend. The above is the intention of the Board of Directors 
of the Company but its compliance will be conditioned to the profits that 
are effectively obtained and also to the results projected periodically by the 
Company or the existence of determined conditions. 

With respect to policy on definite dividends, it is the Board of Directors’ 
resolve that the total dividends to be distributed and charged to the period 
be at least for the amount of the provisional dividends already distributed or 
the same as those established in the Law of Quoted Companies, whichever 
of the two is the greater. 

2. Policy on Investments and Financing Year 2003

The Board of Directors agreed to establish the following Policy on 

Investments and Financing for the year 2003:

1. Investments

The Company will make investments as approved in the by-laws, in areas 
related to works to expand the capacity of supply related to the demand 
for electric power, in contributions to its subsidiaries or related companies 
and in contributions for investments in or the foundations of subsidiary or 
related companies whose corporate purpose is similar, related or linked 
to energy in any of its forms, to the supply of public services or that have 
energy as their principal raw material.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

Investments related to the expansion of the Company will be necessary 
in order to adequately satisfy demand for electricity in the area under 
concession. Investments in its related public service companies will be

Endesa S.A. (Parent Company)

•  On March 11, 2003 we reported as an Essential Fact that the Board of 
Directors, at its meeting held on February 27, 2003 agreed to advise 
as  an  Essential  Fact,  when  it  would  occur,  that  an  agreement  had 
been reached with the banks listed below, to proceed with a process 
of refinancing part of the bank borrowings of Empresa Nacional de 
Electricidad S.A. (Endesa). 

On this matter, we would point out that today, Endesa reached an 
agreement with BBVA S.A., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Dresdner Kleinwort 
Wasserstein and Santander Central Hispano Investment Securities to initiate 
the process of refinancing part of the bank debts of the company for a total 
amount of approximately US$ 0.7 million. The banks mentioned represent 
approximately 45% of the figure mentioned above. 

The terms of the operation that consider certain additional security 
compatible with the limits permitted by the contracts that cover the rest 
of the current debt of Endesa, have already been agreed by the Board of 
Directors of Endesa and by the four mentioned banks and will shortly be 
presented to the rest of the banks for their consideration and approval. 

The refinancing proposed has a new term up to 2008 with half-yearly 
amortizations commencing 30 months from the initiation of the operation. 
Furthermore, the clause that permitted a pre-payment in the event of a 
deterioration of the credit rating given by the risk rating agencies will be 
replaced by a series of new financial covenants and commitments that will 
match the business plan of the company. 

This process of refinancing the company falls within the Financial 
Strengthening Plan adopted recently by the company with the main object 
of reducing the company’s debts.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING 

1. 

In accordance with Article 28 Letter f) of the by-laws of the company 
and the indications in the Policy on Investments and Financing of the 
Company,  request  the  authorization  of  the  Extraordinary  General 
Meeting  of  Shareholders  to  divest  the  Canutillar  Hydroelectricity 
Plant;

At the same meeting, the Board agreed to designate Luis Rivera, Jaime 

Bauzá and Antonio Tuset as members of the Committee of Directors.

•  On April 1, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter that 
at  the  Extraordinary  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders  of  Empresa 
Nacional  de  Electricidad  S.A.  held  yesterday,  approval  was  granted 
with  the  unanimous  vote  of  the  shareholders  present,  to  sell  the 
Canutillar Hydroelectricity Plant owned by Endesa. 

In virtue of this, the condition established by the Board of Directors of 
awarding the Plant mentioned to Hidroeléctrica Guardia Vieja S.A. at a price 
of US$ 174,000,000 has been met, as agreed by the Board of Directors 
of the Company in the Board Meeting held on March 27 of this year and 
communicated in an Essential Fact letter on that same date. 

•  On  April  7,  2003  we  reported  by  means  of  an  Essential  Fact  letter 
that on April 4, 2003 we complied with the conditions established to 
continue with the process of selling to HQI Transelec, the transmission 
assets  owned  by  our  subsidiary  Compañía  Eléctrica  Tarapacá  S.A. 
(Celta) and by our related company Gasatacama Generación Ltda. in 
the Northern Interconnected System (SING). 

In effect, with the selling and buying companies having ratified the 
terms and conditions of the sale of the transmission lines and sub-stations 
included in the operation, the conditions established at the time in order to 
go ahead with this commitment to sell the assets, have been met. 

With regard to our subsidiary Celta, the operation includes the sale of 
285 Kms. of 220 KV. tension circuit lines. In the case of our related company, 
Gasatacama Generación Ltda., in which Endesa has a 50% interest, the 
transfer includes 673 Kms. of circuit lies with the same tension. In both 
cases, the operations contemplate the transfer of certain sub-stations 
owned by the two companies. 

The total assets to be sold represent nearly 20% of the transmission 

assets of the SING.

The price received by our subsidiary Celta is approximately US$ 32 
million and with respect to our related company, Gasatacama Generación 
Ltda., the amount is approximately US$ 78 million.

2.  Adopt  all  the  agreements  required  to  comply  with  and  carry  out 

adequately the above approval. 

The estimated date of the signature of the transfer contracts is May 

30 of this year. 

In accordance with the indications in Point 4 of the Ordinary General 
Meeting of Shareholders a new Board of Directors was appointed for 
the Company which is comprised as follows:

With respect to Endesa, the sale of the transmission assets falls within 
the Financial Strengthening Plan approved by the Board of Directors in

the divestment of those assets announced at the time to the market.

At an Extraordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors held on the 
same date, the Board 0f Directors designated Luis Rivera as Chairman of 
the Board and Antonio Pareja as Vice Chairman.

•  On April 30, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter 
that today we closed the operation involving the divestment of the 
Canutillar Hydroelectric Plant to CENELCA S.A., a subsidiary of Minera 
Valparaíso  S.A.  for  a  sum  of  US$  174,000,000,  having  signed  the 
respective transfer contracts 

In this way, we have concluded the process of divestment of the 
Plant mentioned that has an installed capacity of 172 MW and is located 
in the X Region of the country. The award to the purchasing group was 
communicated in our Essential Fact letter dated April 1, 2003. 

This divestment falls within the Financial Strengthening Plan approved 
by the Board of Directors of the company which has been progressing as 
planned. 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

 
As of March 31, 2003, the Company established provisions for ThCh$ 

5,032,803 corresponding to the estimated loss on this operation. 

•  On May 12, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter 
that today Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and a group of 
24 banks led by BBVA S.A., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Dresdner 
Kleinwort Wasserstein and Santander Central Hispano Investment 
Securities, signed a syndicated loan to refinance the bank borrowings 
of the Company for US$ 743 million. The preliminary agreement with 
the lead banks on this financial operation was advised to the market 
by means of our Essential Fact letter dated March 11 of this year. 

Standard & Poor’s due to a deterioration in the risk rating granted by the 
risk rating agencies and the clause that linked the interest of the credit to 
the risk rating of the Companies have been eliminated and were replaced 
by a series of new covenants and financial commitments in line with the 
business plans of the companies. 

Furthermore, and as we pointed out in our last Essential Fact letter dated 
May 12 of this year, the increase in the financial cost of the debt associated 
to this financial operation will be compensated by the effect we hope to 
attain from the compliance with all the financial and divestment operations 
considered in the Financial Strengthening Plan of the Company. 

The conclusion of this refinancing operation is subject to the compliance 
with several conditions precedent that must be completed on Thursday, 
May 15. 

This refinancing process concluded today is a significant aspect within 

the Financial Strengthening Plan being carried out by the company. 

As a result of this refinancing, Endesa’s obligations that originally 
matured this year and next, are deferred until the year 2008, with 
amortizations of capital commencing in the year 2005. 

The syndicated loan that covers the refinancing eliminates the event of 
an accelerated repayment of the obligations due to a deterioration in the 
risk rating of the Company to levels below the investment grade. 

The increase in the average financial costs of the debt associated to 
this operation will be compensated by the effects that we expect to reach 
with the compliance of all the financial operations and the divestments 
considered in the Financial Strengthening Plan of the Company. 

This refinancing covers most of Endesa’s bank borrowings and 
represents a significant ingredient of the Financial Strengthening Plan 
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in October 2002 and 
which has been complied with as expected. 

•  On May 15, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter that, 
complementing our Essential Fact letters of March 11 and May 12, 2003, 
both with reference to the process initiated by the Company to sign a 
syndicated loan to refinance the Company’s bank borrowings for US$ 
743 million with 24 banks led by BBVA S.A., Salomon Smith Barney 
Inc., Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Santander Central Hispano 
Investment Securities, we advise that as of this date, we have complied 
with all the conditions precedent required in this syndicated loan and 
this operation has been definitely closed. 

Endesa’s obligations under this syndicated loan are secured by personal 
guarantees and co-debtor responsibilities provided by its subsidiaries 
Empresa Eléctrica Peheunche S.A., Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A., Compañía 
Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A. and Endesa Chile Internacional. 

A fundamental effect of the refinancing signed is that the obligations of 
the Company that originally matured in 2003 and 2004, now have a term 
that expires in 2008 with half-yearly amortizations of capital commencing 
30 months after the date of signature. This implies that the amortizations 
of capital will start on November 15, 2005. During this period of 30 months, 
the Company will only pay interest accrued on the new credits which, all 
told, will permit Endesa a harmony between an adequate service of the 
current debt and its generation of cash flows.

The annual rate for the duration of these credits will be Libor + 300 

bases points.

The clause that allowed for a demand for an anticipated acceleration 
of the repayment in the potential case of a loss of the investment grade by 

•  On June 23, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter 
that  today  we  proceeded  to  close  the  process  of  the  sale  of  the 
entire  stock  participation  that  Empresa  Nacional  de  Electricidad 
S.A.  maintained  directly  in  Infraestructura  Dos  Mil  S.A.,  Inecsa 
Dos  Mil  S.A.,  Sociedad  Concesionaria  Autopista  del  Sol  S.A.  and 
in  Sociedad  Concesionaria  Autopista  Los  Libertadores  S.A.  to  the 
Spanish company, OHL Concesiones S.L., a subsidiary of the Spanish 
company, Obrascón Huarte Lain S.A. for a total sum of UF 2,305,507, 
having signed all the respective transfer contracts.

•  On  July  23, 2003  we reported by means  of an Essential Fact letter 
that,  in  accordance  with  the  indications  of  Articles  9  and  10,  Point 
2  of  Law  Nº  18,045  and  the  conditions  of  Circular  Nº  1072  of  the 
Superintendency  of  Securities  and  Insurance,  Empresa  Nacional  de 
Electricidad S.A., through its Agency overseas, has today proceeded 
to issue, in line with Rule Nº 144-A of the Securities Act of 1933 of the 
United  States  of  America,  two  series  of  bonds  on  the  international 
markets for a total amount of US$ 600,000,000. 

225

The purpose of these bond issues is to provide the Company with 
financial resources to refinance the maturity of the three-year bonds, 
known as European Floating Rate Notes (FRN’s), issued by the subsidiary 
Endesa Chile Internacional, for an amount of Euros 400 million expected 
to mature on July 24, 2003. In order to cover the payment of the FRN’s, the 
company signed a Euro/US$ swap contract resulting in the net obligation 
to pay US$ 381 million for the FRN’s at maturity.

The remaining funds coming from the bond issue will be utilized 

fundamentally to prepay bank borrowings of the Company.

The operation is structured in two stages: 

-  US$ 400 million in unsecured bonds to mature in 2013 at a rate of 

8.35%.

-  US$ 200 million in unsecured bonds to mature in 2015 at a rate of 

8.625%

•  On August 1, 2003 we reported by means of an Essential Fact letter 
that,  in  accordance  with  the  indications  of  Articles  9  and  10,  Point 
2  of  Law  Nº  18,045  and  the  conditions  of  Circular  Nº  1072  of  the 
Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, we complemented our 
communication  by  means  of  an  Essential  Fact  letter  dated  July  23 
of this year in which we reported that on that same date Empresa 
Nacional  de  Electricidad  S.A.,  through  its  Agency  overseas,  had 
proceeded  to  issue,  in  line  with  Rule  Nº  144-A  of  the  Securities  Act 
of 1933 of the United States of America, two series of bonds on the 
international markets for a total amount of US$ 600,000,000. 

consolidated financial statements 

Adding to this information, we advise that yesterday the aforementioned 

issue was registered before the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

•  On  October  6,  2003  we  reported  by  means  of  an  Important  Fact 
letter that, during the night of last Friday, October 3 the operations 
of 9 of the 10 turbines in the hydroelectricity plant of our subsidiary in 
Brazil, Cachoeira Dourada S.A. were paralyzed by order of the Goias 
Federal  State  Environmental  Agency.  As  a  result,  of  the  658  MW 
capacity of the Plant, for technical reasons only 1 with a capacity of 
17MW is operating. 

The reason alluded for this measure was apparently the lack of the 
corresponding environmental license authorizing Cachoeira Dourada S.A. 
to operate the electricity plant. The requirement to have an environmental 
license was imposed by law in Brazil in 1996.

We would point out that Endesa acquired the ownership of Cachoeira 
Dourada S.A. during the process of privatization organized by the State 
of Goias and by the Federal Union in the year 1997. As of the date of 
privatization, Cachoeira Dourada S.A. did not possess an environmental 
license to operate the plant, just as none of the hydroelectricity generating 
stations operating in the State of Goias had one then or have one now.

During the year 1998, Cachoeira Dourada S.A. initiated the process 
required to obtain the mentioned license before the Federal Environmental 
Authority (IBAMA) that claimed the authority to issue the environmental 
licenses to all the Hydroelectricity Generating Stations that make use of 
federal rivers, which is the case of our subsidiary, Cachoeira Dourada S.A. 

226

Currently, the process to obtain an environmental license continues its 
normal administrative procedure before the federal environmental authority 
and we would mention that Cachoeira Dourada S.A. is the company most 
advanced in this administrative process in respect of the other electricity 
plants in the State of Goias. 

From the above, it is clear that the measure taken by the Environmental 
Agency of the State of Goias, without precedent in the Federal Republic 
of Brazil, is clearly arbitrary and discriminatory as we feel that it should 
have been lifted in the short term as it reveals the existence of a conflict 
of authority, the solution of which should not be delayed.    

the turbines decreed by that agency, in compliance with the Agreement 
signed yesterday in the city of Brasilia between Cachoeira Dourada S.A. and 
the State Environmental Agency mentioned, by virtue of which the latter 
promised to leave without effect the administrative order it had decreed.  

As a result of the above-mentioned judicial resolution and the 
administrative act issued by the Environmental Agency of the State of 
Goias, the Plant belonging to Cachoeira Dourada S.A. proceeded on that 
same day to reinitiate the normal operations with all its turbines.  

•  On  October  24,  2003  we  reported  that  Empresa  Nacional  de 
Electricidad S.A. placed a bond issue on the local market for the sum 
of UF 8,000,000.

This placement was made in two series, each one for UF 4,000,000, 
the first at a term of seven years at a rate of 5.65% and the second at a 
term of twenty-five years at a rate of 6.76%. 

The resources obtained from this operation, which forms part of the 
Financial Strengthening Plan, will go towards refinancing the company’s 
debts.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

ratio analysis of the consolidated 
financial statements 
for the period ended on December 31, 2003

 economic-financial summary

The net result as of December 31, 2003 was a profit of Ch$ 12,468 
million, which compares favorably with the loss of Ch$ 225,985 million 
registered in December, 2002. In this respect, we must remember the this 
loss was fundamentally the result of the acceleration of the amortization 
of the balances of the positive and negative goodwill accounts related to 
the investments made by the Company in Argentina and Brazil. 

Operating Revenues amounted to Ch$ 531,098 million for the period 
ended on December 31, 2003, a slight decrease of Ch$ 6,873 million, or 
1.3%, with respect to the same period of the year 2002. In order to compare 
these on an equal basis, it is important to mention that this decrease is 
principally due to the effects of the divestment and consequently of the 
deconsolidation of the subsidiaries, Río Maipo and Infraestructura Dos 
Mil S.A. as, leaving aside this effect, the operating result would have risen 
by 2.2%.  

At the same time, we must point out the strong impact that the 
important appreciation of the Chilean Peso versus the US Dollar had on 
the operating result (17.4%), falling from a rate of Ch$ 718.61 to Ch$ 593.8 
in December, 2003. This is an important consideration as, if we isolate this 
effect, the operating result would have grown by 12.4%. 

In this consideration, the increase in the operating results of the 
subsidiaries Codensa, Cerj, Edesur and the service and engineering 
companies Synapsis and CAM have compensated the fall in the results 
obtained in the subsidiaries Endesa Chile, Edelnor, Coelce and Inmobiliaria 
Manso de Velasco. 

Still on the operations area, the basis of the Company’s business, we 
must highlight the increase of 4.2% in physical sales in the distribution 
business that rose from 47,679 GWh to 49,677 GWh, which is consistent 
with the pace of the economic recovery of most of the countries in which 
the Enersis Group has operations. On the other hand, sales of power in 
the generation area also rose from 48,629 GWh to 51,053 GWh, a growth 
of 5.0%. 

Physical sales of distribution, when compared to last year, showed the 

following behavior: 

Chilectra  
Edesur 
Edelnor 
Cerj 
Coelce 
Codensa 

5.7%
4.1%
2.6%
3.5%
6.1%
2.7%

Physical sales of generation, by country, grew as follows:

Chile   
Argentina 
Peru 
Colombia 
Brazil   

1.8%
17.2%
6.8%
1.8%

4.9%

These partial increases permit us to confirm what we have been saying 
with respect to the recovery in consumption of electricity after two years 
and a half in which physical sales grew at rates slightly over 1%. 

This greater volume of physical sales, added to the greater generation 
of electricity, is also a reflection of the recovery in consumption, confirming 
what we said in the preceding paragraph. These two elements are of great 
importance in the evaluation of our principal business, its projections and 
its expectations.  

Furthermore, in the operating area, we should highlight the rise 
of 5.1% in the number of clients that went from 9,978 thousand to 
10,482 thousand, representing an increase of 504 thousand clients or 
the equivalent to incorporating, in one year, a company one and a half 
times the size of Río Maipo. This growth, added to the recovery in demand 
mentioned above, permits us to presuppose a sustained improvement in 
the level of sales in the year 2004.  

Another important element in the field of operations, labor productivity 
improved by 5.1%, rising from 1,367 clients per employee to 1,436 clients 
per employee, confirming the positive tendency experienced throughout 
the last four years.

Losses of energy (aggregate of all the companies), another variable 
in the distribution business, grew from 11.9% to 12.2%. This variation is 
explained principally by the increase experienced by Edesur, Cerj and Coelce, 
negative effects that were not able to be compensated by the fall in loss of 
energy registered by Edelnor and Codensa. 

229

The Ch$ 158,399 million fall in Operating Revenues, equivalent to 6.3%, 
were partially compensated by an important reduction of 5.5% in Operating 
Costs which fell by Ch$ 95,619 million and by the important reduction of 
24.8% in Administrative and Selling Expenses, confirming the great effort 
made by this area. 

The company managed to improve its Net Financial Result by Ch$ 
9,996 million, an increase of 2.8% with respect to the close of the year 
2002. This was principally due to a the strong reduction in debt carried 
out during the year 2003 and to the benefits of lower interest rates. This 
allowed Enersis to reach levels of borrowings compatible with those of 
international companies, qualified suppliers of electric services classified 
as A or higher.    

With regard to Net Results from Investments, these rose by 109.9% 
from a profit of Ch$ 8,347 million to a profit of Ch$ 17,517 million, as a 
consequence of a greater profit on the investments in related companies 
and of a smaller loss from same, explained in the detail shown in the 
following pages.

Furthermore, the high volatility of the local currencies against the US Dollar, 
in this case, the appreciation since January of this year, as can be noted from the 
above graph, has implied registering accounting losses of Ch$ 67,511 million in 
the year 2003 as a result of the adjustments on conversion to Chilean norms, 
as a consequence of the application of Technical Bulletin Nº 64. This, net of 
minority interests, amounts to a loss of Ch$ 40,786 million. This is closely related 
to the appreciations of the Brazilian Real and the Argentine Peso and their 
impact with respect to the structure of the monetary assets and liabilities.

230

With respect to the financial area, the year 2003 will be remembered as 
one of intense activity due to the multiple and successful operations carried 
out in order to strengthen the financial and equity situation of Enersis. 

Firstly, we must highlight that throughout the year, the Enersis Group 
carried out multiple operations for approximately US$ 7,000 million, as 
part of the Financial Strengthening Plan launched by the Company in the 
month of October, 2002. 

Financial Debt in Millions of US$

�

These operations can be summarized in three large stages: 

Refinancing Operations 
Selective Divestment of Assets    
Capital Increase   
Total 

US$ 4,018 million
US$    757 million
US$ 2,104 million
US$ 6,879 million

The refinancing stage was undertaken through various instruments 
such as syndicated loans, bond issues on local and overseas markets, 
prepayment of the Jumbo II credit and other less important operations. 
The moment to undertake this restructuring was also the most appropriate 
considering that interest rates were at a historic low whilst at the same time 
the improved perception of risk of the Enersis Group allowed for a prize on 
risk which was a lower spread on the new debt. Many of these operations 
took place during the year 2003, the last of these being the payment of 
US$ 149 million corresponding to the put undertaken by the holders of the 
2026 Yankee Bonds. 

All these operations permitted not only a greater flexibility in the maturity 
of Enersis’ debt, resulting in a payment schedule more in accord with the 
Group’s generation of Cash flows, but also a reduction of the debt by US$ 
2,573 million, significantly strengthening the financial situation of Enersis. 

The divestment of assets achieved the best expectations as the prices 
offered for the assets on sale were in the top level of those expected. With 
regard to the “replacement” of those assets divested, we would point out 
that the 172 MW of installed capacity corresponding to the Canutillar Plant 
that was sold will be easily surpassed by the 570 MW of installed capacity 
of the new Ralco plant coming on stream during the year 2004. This does 
not consider the 311 MW installed capacity of the new thermoelectricity 
plant in Ceará (CGTF), in the northeast of Brazil, in operation since January 
2004, 49% owned by Enersis. These divestments also produced an effect 
on the comparative analysis of the results as of December 2002 versus 
December 2003, an important aspect to bear in mind.

With regard to the capital increase, this exceeded even the most optimistic 
expectations. In this respect, we must recall that when we launched this operation 
for US$ 2,000 million, the stock markets were still fairly depressed and some 
sectors were very skeptical about our possibilities of obtaining the participation of 
the shareholders in the largest capital increase in recent times in Latin America. 

In fact, the capital increase, conceived in three stages, permitted the 
Company to increase its equity base by more than US$ 2,104 million, a 
significant part of which corresponded to the capitalization of debts of US$ 
1,219 million made by the controlling shareholder.

Aside from any internal considerations with respect to the success of the 
strengthening process carried out is the perception that the markets had of 
this corporate effort. In this sense, in the following graph, it is possible to 
appreciate how and by how much the risk perception of Enersis improved 
by way of the spread or prize on risk required from our debt instruments.

Furthermore, the improved risk perception, together with the recovery in demand for electricity in the majority of the areas under concession, 
is reflected in a sustained growth in the liquidity of Enersis’ shares, both on the local market and on the NYSE through the ADRs. The above is easily 
appreciated from the following graph.

The improved risk perception, together with the strong liquidity of its paper, also provoked a sustained rise in the level of the prices of the shares 
and of the ADRs throughout the year 2003, particularly from the beginning of the month of May, date on which the strengthening process started to 
consolidate.

The financial elements described, i.e., the recovery in demand and the 
strengthening of the currencies, as is known, are essential factors required 
to obtain a better return on the investments in our sector of activities. 
The detail of the variations of the income accounts and the balance 
sheet described above, together with a greater analysis of the evolution 
of the main businesses are in the following pages, in the Comparative 
Analysis of the Financial Statements, of the different entries in the Income 
Statement, of the Balance Sheet and the Principal Cash Flows, compared 
to the information corresponding to December 31, 2002. 

Consequently, and even when the figures for the year 2003 did not 
manage to register all the positive events described, it is necessary to 
highlight them considering the impact that these will have, not only on 
the results for 2004 and subsequent years, but also on the financial strength 
of the Group as a whole, in the medium and long term.

a. Net Operating Income:

The Net Operating Income amounted to Ch$ 531,098 million for the 
period ended on December 31, 2003, reflecting a slight decrease of Ch$ 
6,873 million, or 1.3%, with respect to the same period of the year 2002. 
This decrease is principally due to the effects of the sales and subsequent 
deconsolidation of the of the subsidiaries, Río Maipo and Infraestructura 
Dos Mil S.A. as, leaving aside this effect, the operating result would have 
risen by 2.2%.  

Furthermore, what occurred with the Chilean Peso this year, which 
appreciated 17.4%, moving from a rate of Ch$ 718.61 in December 2002 
to Ch$ 593.8 in December 2003, had an important impact on the net 
operating income as, if we isolate this effect, the operating result would 
have grown by 12.4%. 

On the other hand, the net operating income of the subsidiaries 
CODENSA, CERJ, EDESUR and the service and engineering companies 
SYNAPSIS and CAM have compensated the fall in the results obtained 
in the subsidiaries ENDESA, EDELNOR, COELCE and Inmobiliaria Manso 
de Velasco. 

In the Generating business, Endesa Chile presented a net operating 
income of Ch$ 338,510 million as of December 2003, 3.2% lower than that 
obtained in the year 2002. This decrease in the net operating income that 

is mainly due to the results of the subsidiaries in Peru and Brazil, was partly 
compensated by the good performance in Argentina and Colombia. We 
should also point out the positive effect on the sales of energy in the region 
as a consequence of the large growth in demand for energy, the abundance 
of water in Argentina and the improved prices in Colombia. Furthermore, 
we should mention the reduction of 14.5% in the administrative and selling 
expenses to Ch$ 31,324 million in 2003, Ch$ 5,328 million less than in the 
same period of the year 2002. During 2003 sales amounted to 51,053 GWh, 
an increase of 5% over those of the same period of 2002. 

In Chile, the net operating income for the year 2003 amounted to Ch$ 
155,260 million, falling by 10.0% with respect to the result for the year 
2002. Nevertheless, if we compare this with the year 2002, excluding the 
effects of the deconsolidation following the divestment of Infraestructura 
Dos Mil S.A., the operating result in Chile would have risen by 3.2%. On 
the other hand, revenues from sales of energy grew by 5.0% despite the 
sale of the Canutillar Plant at the end of April 2003, compensated in part 
by higher costs of energy, greater costs of fuel due to an increase in the 
generation of thermoelectricity and by higher toll costs.

In Colombia, the net operating income rose by 12.9% to Ch$ 85,984 
million. This increase is due to the higher prices on the spot market as a 
result of the fall in the availability of water that has affected that country, 
to a better sales mix, to a slight increase in physical sales and to larger 
revenues from capacity during the period. 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

In Argentina, the net operating income for the year 2003 increased by 154% 
with respect to the year 2002, amounting to Ch$ 32,313 million. This increase 
in the operating result is due to the good performance of the subsidiaries El 
Chacón and Central Cordillera whose operating results rose by Ch$ 12,568 and 
Ch$ 7,021 million, respectively. In El Chacón, the improved result is due to a 
greater production of energy during the year 2003 as a result of larger water 
supplies, added to better average sales prices on the spot market. In the case 
of Central Costanera, the increase in the result is explained principally by larger 
revenues in payment of power from contracts on the second interconnection 
line with Brazil that started being registered as of May, 2002. 

On the other hand, in Peru, the net operating income for the year 
2003 fell by 13.9% with respect to the year 2002, amounting to Ch$ 61,296 
million. The income from sales of energy decreased despite the increase in the 
physical sales of energy due to the effects of the appreciation of the Chilean 
Peso against the US Dollar during the period as well as to a higher cost of 
purchases of energy and transport resulting from the rise in physical sales. 

In Brazil, the net operating income of Cachoeira Dourada S.A. decreased 
by 78.7% to Ch$ 3,657 million principally as a result of the lower revenues on 
sales of energy due to lower average prices on the spot market and to the 10% 
reduction in the original contract with the distributor Celg as of September 
2002 and an additional 10% reduction as of September, 2003.     

We point out that during the year 2003, the contract signed between our 
related company CIEN and Copel for the second interconnection line between 
Argentina and Brazil was successfully renegotiated. The definite agreement, 
with the approval of ANEEL, in combination with the negotiations undertaken 
on the contracts with the Argentine suppliers that support this contract, meant 
an equilibrium in the margins similar to the previous ones for CIEN, providing in 
addition the advantage of a smaller exposure to risk by diversifying in a better 
manner both the sales and the purchases of the associated energy. Furthermore, 
the subsequent modifications made in Argentina have only had a reduced effect 
on Costanera whose main participation in the business of exporting to Brazil is in 
the first interconnection line and not in the second, which was the subject of the 
modifications. Even so, in the contracts associated with the second interconnection 
line, Costanera maintains a power close to 200 MW in the short term that grows 
to 300 MW in the long term, to price levels and conditions that represent to it a 
very convenient alternative with respect to the internal Argentine market.

The Distribution Business in Latin America continues showing important 
increases in physical sales and in the number of clients during the current 
year in respect of the previous one. Consolidated physical sales grew by 
4.2% to 49,677 GWh, which is the equivalent to an increase of 1,998 GWh 
in sales in the period. The number of clients rose by 504 thousand, an 
increase of 5.1% to reach 10.5 million clients.

In Chile, Chilectra presented a net operating income practically the same 
as last year, amounting to Ch$ 88,051 million as of December 2003. This is 
principally due to the increase of Ch$ 24,907 million in operating income related 
to the 5.7% rise in physical sales, compensated by higher operating expenses of 
Ch$ 22,822 million, the result of a greater purchase of physical energy and of 
an increase in administrative and selling expenses by Ch$ 2,226 million, owing 
to the increase in operating, maintenance and remunerations expenses.

In Brazil, the subsidiaries Cerj and Coelce obtained net operating results 
amounting to Ch$ 24,513 and Ch$ 19,684 million, respectively. In the case of Cerj, 
this represents an improvement of Ch$ 3,904 million with respect to the previous 
year and for Coelce, a reduction of Ch$ 4,548 million compared to the same period 
of the year 2002. We point out that both companies registered a regulatory asset for 
an approximate amount of US$ 45 million (Cerj US$ 25 million and Coelce US$ 20 
million) corresponding to the period between January 1 and March 1, 2002 with the 
object of recovering the economic-financial equilibrium of the concession contracts, 
to recover the losses of consumption observed during the period of rationing of 
energy that lasted from the year 2001 to March 1, 2002. Sales of energy rose by 
253 GWh in Cerj and 339 GWh in Coelce, 3.5% and 6.1%, respectively.        

In Colombia, Codensa showed an increase of Ch$ 9,035 million in the net 
operating income that amounted to Ch$ 30,617 million which is explained principally 
by a higher unit value, the increase of 2.7% in physical sales and less administrative 
and selling expenses, mainly in operating and personnel expenses.

In Peru, the subsidiary, Edelnor reduced its operating result by Ch$ 
6,687 million provoked basically by a reduction in the unit sale margin 
due to the fall in tariffs and a lower sale of power. Physical sales of energy 
grew by 100 GWh going from 3,872 GWh to 3,972 GWh as of December 
2003, and the losses of energy fell from 8.5% to 8.4% during this period. 

235

In Argentina, Edesur showed an improvement in the net operating 
income of Ch$ 7,618 million, going from a loss of Ch$ 12,865 million in 2002 
to a lower loss of Ch$ 5,247 million during the year 2003. This is principally 
the result of an improvement in demand for energy observed in the country 
that has provoked an increase in physical sales of 4.1% rising from 12,138 GWh 
in the year 2002 to 12,638 GWh in 2003. This meager result, despite the 
improvement, is principally due to the economic instability the country went 
through and that provoked a reduction in income for the service company 
due mainly to the freezing of the tariffs, to losses from the devaluation of 
the Argentine Peso and the increase in losses of energy through theft, rising 
from 11.6% in December 2002 and 11.8% in December 2003.

b.  Non Operating Income:

The non operating income of the company rose by Ch$ 354,585 million, 
or 44.1%, from a loss of Ch$ 804,495 million in the year 2002 to a loss of 
Ch$ 449,910 in the year 2003. 

This is explained principally by the reduction in the amortization of 
the negative goodwill of the investments, after the write-offs in December 
2002 of the entire negative goodwill of the investments in the companies in 
Argentina and Brazil; by the improved results obtained from the investments 
in related companies, specifically CIEN and by lower financial costs due to 
the reduction in the financial debt. This was partially compensated by the 
registration in 2003 of the losses from the conversion in accordance with 
Technical Bulletin Nº 64 of the subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil, caused 
by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. 

Financial costs net of financial income show a reduction of Ch$ 9,996 
million, falling from net costs of Ch$ 363,194 million as of December 2002 to 
net costs of Ch$ 353,198 million this year, a reduction of 2.8%. The decrease 
in these costs is the result of the reduction in debt and to the lower interest 
rates on the international markets with respect to the previous period. The 
decrease would have been much greater (13.5%) had there not been an 
acceleration in the amortization of the fees of Ch$ 39,095 million paid in 
relation to the loans that were cancelled in advance with resources obtained 
from the capital increase or were refinanced during the year 2003.     

The profits from investments in related companies increased by 
Ch$ 9,170 million or 109.9% rising from a profit of Ch$ 8.347 million in 
December, 2002 to a profit of Ch$ 17,517 million as of December, 2003. This 
was fundamentally due to the results of the related companies, particularly 
CIEN and GASATACAMA Generación Ltda. whose registered profits rose by 
Ch$ 3,839 million and Ch$ 4,843 million, respectively. 

The amortization of the negative goodwill on investments decreased by 
Ch$ 458,180 million, equivalent to a reduction of 89.6% with respect to the 
year 2002, amounting to Ch$ 53,228 million. The larger amortization in the 
previous year was the result of the deterioration of the negative goodwill 
of the investments in Argentina and Brazil which signified an accelerated 
amortization, in December 2002, of the entire negative goodwill held in 
the companies in those countries. 

The other non operating income and expenses reflect a negative 
variation of Ch$ 123,465 million, declining from a profit in 2002 of Ch$ 
73,017 million to a loss of Ch$ 50,448 million as of December 2003. The 
main reasons that explain this variation in the results are detailed below:      

-   An  increase  in  losses  of  Ch$  249,358  million  deriving  from  the 
conversion  adjustment  to  Chilean  Norms,  as  a  result  of  the 
application of Technical Bulletin Nº 64, principally of the subsidiaries 
in Brazil and Argentina. This is mainly the product of the appreciation 
of the Brazilian Real and the Argentine Peso against the US Dollar and 
its impact on the structure of the monetary assets and liabilities. 

- 

-  

- 

- 

- 

Increase in expenses on provisions for obsolescence and write-offs of 
assets of Ch$ 8,339 million.

Increase in expenses on pension plans and UFIR taxes in Brazil by Ch$ 
21,818 million. 

Losses on sale of materials and fixed assets of Ch$ 7,689 million.

Ch$ 4,863 less profit on forward operations. 

Ch$ 6,551 million less in dividends from related companies.

The above was partially compensated by:

- 

- 

- 

- 

Profit  before  tax  of  Ch$  89,285  million  on  sale  of  Río  Maipo  and 
Infraestructura 2000.

Ch$ 68,171 million less in provisions on real estate and works projects 
in progress. 

Ch$ 8,117 million less in Tax Fines.

Ch$ 4,812 less on losses on recalculation of Power on SIC.

The price-level restatement and exchange differences reflect a net positive 
variation of Ch$ 704 million with respect to the previous year, rising from a loss 
of Ch$ 11,257 million as of December 31, 2002 to a loss of Ch$ 10,553 million 
in the year 2003. The above is principally due to the effects of the nominal 
appreciation of the Chilean Peso of 17.4% against the US Dollar as of December 
31, 2003 in comparison with the nominal devaluation of 9.7% existing as of 
the same date of the previous year. These effects were compensated to a 
large extent by exchange insurance held by the company.  

Income and deferred tax expenses fell by Ch$ 25,106 million in 
comparison to last year, decreasing from Ch$ 66,677 million as of December 
2002 to Ch$ 41,571 million this year. This is explained mainly by an increase 
of Ch$ 24,913 million in income tax expenses and a positive effect of Ch$ 
50,019 million from deferred taxes. The larger income tax expense reflects 
the tax effect of Ch$ 16,285 million on the profit on the sale of Río Maipo, 
compensated by the reduced taxes for Cerj and Coelce. 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

Extraordinary items show a reduction in the loss of Ch$ 22,599 million 
that corresponds to the tax for preserving democratic security imposed 
in the year 2002 by the Government of Colombia on all corporations 
established in Colombia. 

Amortizations of the positive goodwill of investments shows a decrease 
in the amortization of Ch$ 62,194 million reflecting the accelerated 
amortization carried out in December 2002 of the positive goodwill held 
in the companies established in Argentina and Brazil, partially compensated 
by the amortization of the positive goodwill generated by the investments 
made through the capitalization of the loan undertaken in the month of 
January 2003 in Cerj for Ch$ 34,517 million. 

Interest Rate Risk

On a consolidated basis, as of September 30, 2003 12% of the total 
debt was expressed in variable terms whilst 88% was at fixed rates and 
secure. 

As of the close of December 31, 2003 the debt linked to variable rates 
represented 1% of the total debt whilst 99% was at fixed rates and secure. 

The company manages its interest rate risks by concentrating its debt 
structure on the long term with a suitable combination of debt at fixed 
rates and at variable rates. 

In the specific case of Argentina, most of the debts are tied to Libor 
interest rates. In the context of historic continuous falls in this rate, it was 
decided to maintain a high percentage of variable debt having taken 
advantage of this situation to arrange a significant reduction in financial 
costs. In Brazil, given that the tariffs are updated on the basis of a price 
index that is linked to the evolution of the local interest rate, it was decided 
to maintain the greater portion of the debt at variable interest rates.  

Exchange Risk

The Company’s exposure to an exchange risk is derived from the 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, most of which in 
US Dollars.

On a consolidated basis, as of the close of September 30, 2003 Enersis 
had 80% of its total debt expressed in US Dollars. Bearing in mind the US$/
Ch$ forward position, the weight of this debt in US$ was reduced to 79%.

As of December 31, 2003, 73% of the debt was expressed in US Dollars. 
Considering the US$/Ch$ hedging policy mentioned below, the percentage 
of the debt expressed in US Dollars is 76%. 

The reason behind the largest part of our debt being denominated in 
US Dollars is the fact that an important proportion of our revenues is directly 
or indirectly related to the US Dollar. Thus, the tariffs of the majority of the 
countries in which we have operations are tied to a significant extent to 
the evolution of the US Dollar, particularly in Chile and Peru. In countries 
where the indexation to the US Dollar is lower, companies borrow a greater 
proportion of their loans in local currency. 

With respect to the operating revenues in our Generating subsidiaries, 
in the case of Central Costanera in Argentina, a large portion of its income 
comes from exports to Brazil and these contracts are indexed to the US 
Dollar. On the other hand, El Chocón’s contracts, though expressed in US 
Dollars, are currently being paid in Argentine Pesos. In Brazil, Cachoeira 
Dourada does not have tariffs indexed to the US Dollar and its revenues 
are in local currency, indexed to fluctuations in inflation. In Colombia the 
contracts are at spot and at short term that mainly follow the variations of 
the US Dollar exchange rate. In Chile and Peru, the tariff process and the 
contracts are indexed to changes in the US Dollar rate. 

In Argentina, Costanera has benefited from the contracts expressed in 
US Dollars for the exports through its related company, CIEN, which minimize 
the risks of further devaluations in that country. On the other hand, in Brazil, 
given that both the income and the expenses are expressed in local currency, 
with no indexation to foreign currencies, and that the company has no 
significant debt denominated in US Dollars (which would produce financial 
costs in US Dollars), there is no important risk with respect to the exchange 
rate. In Chile, operating costs have hardly been affected by the variations in 
the rate of exchange in view of the high volume of hydroelectricity generation 
in these last two years. With respect to our overseas subsidiaries, the same 
thing occurs, as they are principally hydroelectricity generating plants. 
Although Costanera in Argentina is a thermoelectricity generator, the 
supplies of natural gas are currently invoiced in pesos. 

In the case of the Distribution companies, in Argentina the tariffs for the 
companies that distribute electric power under a federal concession, amongst 
them Edesur, are contractually established in US Dollars and indexed to the 
inflation rate in the United States. However, the Emergency Law promulgated 
in January 2002 established the tariffs in Pesos and these have been kept 
frozen. For this reason, the companies have had to absorb, without any form 
of compensation whatsoever, the effects of devaluation and inflation. Within 
the process of renegotiation underway between the government and the 
companies, conditions have to be established under which the tariffs will be 
ruled in future. In Brazil, tariffs are indexed to the General Market Price Index. 
In Colombia, the Added Distribution Value (ADV) is readjusted in accordance 
with the Producer Price Index every time that there is a variation of more 
than 3% in any of its components. For further information, we show below 
operating revenues and expenses grouped by country.

The exchange risk exposure is currently handled on a consolidated 
basis, taking into consideration the portion of this risk that our Chilean 
subsidiaries have not covered. The Company’s policy is to hedge between 
70% and 85% of the booked exposure to exchange risks. 

For the specific case of Chile, the exchange risk exposure depends on 
the fluctuation of the exchange rates at which the Company’s assets and 
liabilities are maintained. For accounting purposes, our results are also 
affected considering the contents of Technical Bulletin Nº 64. In accordance 
with this Chilean accounting regulation, debts in foreign currency that were 
utilized to finance investments in countries with an “unstable currency” 
are matched to their corresponding investment and the variations in the 
US$/Chilean Peso rate on those matched debts are not reflected by entries 
in the Income Statement.     

The existing Ch$/US$ exchange exposure is controlled by means of the 
use of financial derivatives, basically US Dollar/Ch$ Forwards, with which 
the exchange risk is covered. 

On a consolidated basis, as of the close of December 31, 2003 the 
Company had US$/Ch$ forward contracts for US$ 166 million in sale contracts 
whilst as of September 30, 2003 the total was US$ 31 million in purchase 
contracts. This decrease in the purchase position is due to a smaller exposure 
to the variations in the US Dollar on the debts expressed in that currency.  

In Argentina, the generating subsidiaries have their debts expressed 
in US Dollars, given that their operating cash flows are largely related to 
that currency. Edesur has most of its debts in US Dollars because before 
the emergency law, its tariffs were indexed to that currency. Since then, 
the restrictions imposed and the volatility of the local financial market 
have prevented any form of hedging of the exchange risk. Thus, to date, 
the exposure to the US Dollar remains. On the other hand, in Brazil, our 
generating subsidiary is not exposed to the US Dollar as it has a very small 
debt and this is expressed in Brazilian Reales. In the distribution subsidiaries, 
the companies originally borrowed from third parties in local currency. Only 
Cerj received inter-company financing in US Dollars. 

Others

We give below a detail of the defaults by Enersis or its subsidiaries that, 
if not rectified in time, could result in a cross-default for Enersis and/or its 
subsidiaries:

•  Failure to pay capital and interest on the corresponding debt.
•  Failure  by  ENERSIS,  Endesa-Chile  or  by  one  of  their  respective 
subsidiaries  to  pay  a  single  debt  of  US$  30  million  or  more  (debt 
considered  individually,  not  jointly)  on  the  date  the  corresponding 
payment  should  be  made  (be  it  on  the  maturity  date  or  by 
acceleration).

•  Bankruptcy or suspension of payments by ENERSIS, Endesa-Chile or 

one of their respective subsidiaries. 

•   Judicial sentences against ENERSIS S.A., Endesa-Chile or one of their 
respective  subsidiaries  that  imply  an  obligation  for  a  joint  amount 
equal  or  superior  to  US$  30  million  and  judicial  resolutions  whose 
contents  are  different  to  the  payment  of  a  monetary  obligation 
against  ENERSIS  S.A.,  Endesa-Chile  or  any  of  their  respective 
subsidiaries  that  could  have  a  substantial  adverse  effect  on  the 
consolidated accounts of ENERSIS S.A. or Endesa-Chile, whichever the 
case.

•  Governmental  action  by  virtue  of  which  all  or  a  substantial  part 
of  the  property  or  assets  of  ENERSIS  S.A.,  Endesa-Chile  or  one  of 
their  subsidiaries  are  nationalized,  embargoed  or  expropriated  or 
government action that could impede the continuity of operations or 
an important part of them, of ENERSIS S.A., Endesa-Chile or one of 
their respective subsidiaries.

•  Default  on  the  corresponding  contract  clauses  and  that  are  not 
corrected within the grace period established, such as commitments to 
maintain determined debt ratios and coverage of interest payments.  

In most credits - and in general terms - the expression subsidiary refers 

to those relevant ones both in Chile and abroad. 

Borrowings that may be called in with respect to each default and the 

respective creditor subsidiary are detailed as follows:

Bank Borrowings

As is customary in most bank credit contracts and on capital markets, 
a substantial proportion of the financial debt of Enersis S.A. is subject to 
cross-default conditions. Some defaults on the part of Endesa Chile or its 
subsidiary, if not cured in time (in those specific conditions that permit some 
time to resolve the problem), could result in a cross-default for Endesa-Chile 
and for Enersis S.A.

(15.7%)

•  Decrease  of  Ch$  1,881,893  million  in  Fixed  Assets,  equivalent  to  a 
fall  of  18.8%,  as  a  result  of  the  sale  of  the  Canutillar  Plant  for  Ch$ 
121,191 million, the sale of transmission lines for Ch$ 30,702 million, 
the deconsolidation following the sale of Río Maipo for Ch$ 40,479 
million  and  of  Infraestructura  2000  for  Ch$  251,118  million.  These 
were also affected by  the effect of the  exchange rates  on the  fixed 
assets of the foreign companies as a result of the application of the 
methodology of taking the non-monetary assets in historic US Dollars 
in the subsidiaries located in unstable countries, in accordance with 
Technical Bulletin Nº 64. 

•  Current Assets decreased by Ch$ 80,682 million due principally to the 
fall  by  Ch$  180,293  million  in  short-term  accounts  receivable  from 
related  companies  explained  basically  by  the  transfer  to  long-term 
of the loan to Atacama Finance for Ch$ 128,185 million, a reduction 
of  Ch$  59,413  million  in  other  current  assets,  principally  due  to  a 
reduction of Ch$ 62,605 million in Investment Forwards compensated 
by  a  larger  volume  of  purchases  of  financial  instruments  with  a 

240

resale  agreement,  for  Ch$  35,484.  These  reductions  were  partially 
compensated by the increase of Ch$ 109,171 million in term deposits, 
by  the  increase  of  Ch$  30,790  million  in  sundry  debtors  and  Ch$ 
26,501 million in deferred taxes.   

•  Other  long  term  assets  present  a  reduction  of  Ch$  42,538  million 
explained  principally  by  a  reduction  of  Ch$  58,701  million  in  the 
net negative and positive goodwill of investments as a result of the 
amortization  for  the period, the decrease in investments in related 
companies  and  in  other  companies  of  Ch$  15,894  and  Ch$  27,601 
million respectively, mainly due to the effect of the exchange rate in 
Chile and the reduction of Others by Ch$ 60,532 million. The above 
was  partially  compensated  by  the  increase  in  long-term  accounts 
receivable from related companies following the transfer of the loan 
of Ch$ 128,185 million to Atacama Finance. 

The total liabilities of the Company show a decrease of Ch$ 2,005,113 million 

with respect to the same period of the year before. This is mainly due to:

Current liabilities decreased by Ch$ 1,045,736 million or 48.1% 
explained principally by the decrease of Ch$ 445,619 million in the short 
term portion of the long term obligations with banks, as a result of the 
advanced payments of loans and the refinancing of the debt with banks 
that was concluded during this year 2003, a reduction of Ch$117,143 million 
in the short term obligations with banks and a decrease of Ch$ 432,541 
million in obligations with the public (bonds). 

Long term liabilities fell by Ch$1,750,306 million, or 32.1%, mainly as a 
result of the reduction of Ch$ 998,090 million in accounts payable to related 
companies following the capitalization of the debt with Elesur, a reduction 
of Ch$ 874,357 million in obligations with banks and Ch$ 52,458 million in 
accounts payable and a reduction of Ch$ 41,822 million in other long term 
liabilities, partially compensated by an increase of Ch$ 180,471 in obligations 
with the public and a rise of Ch$ 62,931 million in provisions.

Minority interests fell by Ch$ 741,827 million as a result of the increase 
in the participation in Cerj and Costanera, to the deconsolidation of 
Infraestructura 2000 and to the reduction of the net worth of the overseas 
subsidiaries controlled in US Dollars as per Technical Bulletin Nº 64. 

With regard to equity, we should point out that this rise by $1,532,756 
million with respect to December 2002. This variation is explained principally 
by the subscription of shares for a value of $1,468,991 million during the 
year 2003 in relation to the capital increase and the increase of Ch$ 125,620 
million in the overprice for the capitalization of the debt of Elesur and the 
B1 and B2 series bonds. It also increased by Ch$ 12,468 million due to the 
booking of the profit for the period.

The liquidity ratio as of December 2003 was 1.02 that reflects an 
improvement of 82.1% with respect to the same date of the previous year. 
This improvement is the result of the cash flows collected from the capital 
increase of US$ 920 million, the sale of Río Maipo for US$170 million and 
the sale of Canutillar for US$174 million that permitted the anticipated 
payment of short-term obligations with banks as of December 2002 as well 
as the transfer to long term of the obligations with banks that were in the 
short term following the first refinancing in the month of May 2003. 

The debt ratio as of December 31, 2003 was 0.82 times. When compared 
to the same period of the year 2002, there is a decrease of 0.67 points. The 
reduction is due principally to the capitalization of the debt from Elesur, to the 
capital increase on the part of the minority shareholders and to the effect of the 
exchange rate, given that a large part of the debt is indexed to the US Dollar. 

On the other hand, the return on equity closed at 0.49%. As of the 
same date of the previous year, this was –22.25%. This improvement in 
the return is due to the increase in the profit for the period with respect to 
the loss in the previous year. 

The return on assets rose from –1.77% as of December 2002 to 0.12% 
as of December 2003. This was basically the result of the rise in the profit 
for the period and to the decrease in total assets.  

Operating activities generated a positive cash flow of Ch$ 574,477 million, 
Ch$ 59,583 million less than during the same period of last year. This cash 
flow is comprised mainly of the profit of Ch$ 12,467million for the period, plus 
the net charges to results of Ch$ 676,678 million that do not represent cash 

flow, that correspond principally to the Depreciation of Ch$ 396,416 million 
for the period, write-offs and provisions of Ch$ 54,402 million, amortization 
of Ch$ 53,228 million on the negative and positive goodwill on investments 
and Ch$ 153,256 million for other charges that do not represent cash flow, 
the main item of this being Ch$ 68,424 million for the effect of the conversion 
to Technical Bulletin N° 64, increased by the rise in liabilities that affect the 
cash flow by Ch$ 43,011 million. The above was partially compensated by 
the increase of Ch$ 54,665 million in assets that affect operating cash flows, 
principally due to the increase in sales debtors in Argentina and Brazil, to Ch$ 
51,176 in amortizations of positive goodwill and of Ch $29,777 million in other 
credits that do not represent cash flow, of which Ch$ 8,377 million correspond 
to the positive effect of the conversion of the overseas subsidiaries.    

Financing activities produced a negative cash flow of Ch$ 435,757 million, 
explained basically by loan repayments of Ch$ 2,128,072 million, dividend 
payments for Ch$ 80,795 million, payments of obligations with the public 
for Ch$ 487,071 million and other disbursements on investments for Ch$ 
116,031 million. The above is partially compensated by the issue of shares 
for Ch$ 546,465 million, loans granted for Ch$ 1,022, 599 million and the 
placement of bonds for Ch$ 828,121 million. 

Investment activities generated a net positive cash flow of Ch$ 88,375 
million that corresponds principally to the sale of Fixed Assets, Canutillar and 
Transmission Lines for Ch$ 160,760 million, to the sale of investments for Ch$ 
121,827 million in Río Maipo and to other income from investments for Ch$ 
49,788 million, partially compensated by the incorporation of fixed assets 
for Ch$ 258,786 million, with the most important being the investment 
Endesa is making in the Ralco Plant that for this period amounts to Ch$ 
131,140 million and other disbursements for Ch$ 6,888 million.

4. book value and market value of the assets  

With regard to the more important assets, we mention the 

following:

The value of the items in fixed assets have been adjusted in accordance 
with the accounting criteria established by the Chilean Superintendency of 
Securities and Insurance in its Circulars Nº 550 and 556 issued in 1985. In 
the case of the foreign company, Inversiones Distrilima S.A., the value of the 
fixed assets were adjusted in accordance with the exception criteria indicated 
in Technical Bulletin Nº 45 issued by the Chilean College of Accountants, 
the norm in force at the time the investment was made and which was not 
modified by Technical Bulletin Nº 51 that replaced it.

and issued by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, as of the 
close of the financial statements for the 2002 period, the company has 
evaluated the recoverability of the assets related to its investments, applying 
the accounting principles generally accepted in Chile which are Technical 
Bulletins Nº 33 for fixed assets and in accordance with the indications of 
Technical Bulletin Nº 56, the company has applied NIC 36 for the positive 
or negative goodwill values of those investments. 

Assets expressed in foreign currency are shown at the exchange rate 

as of the close of the period.    

Depreciation is calculated on the updated value of the goods in 

accordance with the years of useful life remaining for each item.

Investments in financial instruments with repurchase/resale agreements 
are shown at their purchase value plus the proportion of the interest 
calculated on the implicit rate of each operation. 

Investments in related companies are valued at their proportional 
equity value. In the case of foreign companies, this methodology has been 
applied on the basis of the financial statements prepared in accordance with 
the norms established in Technical Bulletin Nº 64 of the Chilean College 
of Accountants and intangible values have been adjusted by price-level 
restatement and are amortized according to the norms indicated in 
Technical Bulletin Nº 55 of the Chilean College of Accountants.

In accordance with Official Circular Nº 150 dated January 31, 2003 

Accounts and bills receivable from related companies are classified 
according to their short and long-term maturities. The operations are 
adjusted to equal conditions similar to those that are normally applied 
in the market.

In summary, assets are valued according to generally accepted 
accounting principles and norms and to instructions issued on this matter 
by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance explained in Note 2 of 
the Financial Statements.

REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORS OF ACCOUNT

In accordance with the stipulations of Law Nº 18,046 on Limited Liability Stock 
Companies  and  in  compliance  with  the  mandate  conferred  by  the  Ordinary 
General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31 2003, we have proceeded 
to  examine  the  Financial  Statements  of  Enersis  S.A.  for  the  period  between 
January 1 and December 31 of the year 2003. 

Our task was centered on the verification, on a selective basis, of the match 
between the amounts included in the financial statements and the official regis-
ters of the Company and for this purpose we compared the figures presented 
in the general ledger against the grouping and classification spreadsheets, in 
order to subsequently verify that these amounts, which represent the totals of 
the accounts under one item, coincided with those included in the financial sta-
tements, We have no observations on this review.

(*)   According to the provisions of Circular 368 of the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, the corporation has amortized higher quarterly installments due to the revaluation of Cerj, caused by the capital increase 

in January 2003.

c.  Recoverability of goodwill

To carry out the analysis of the recoverability of goodwill and negative 
goodwill on investments abroad, as explained in Note 2 k, the Company 
used International Accounting Standard (IAS) N°36.

 The analysis determined that at December 31, 2002, the impairment 
of goodwill and negative goodwill in the companies, related to investments 

in Argentina and Brazil, is 100%, as, when comparing cash flows generated 
by the companies in said countries, such flows do not cover the recorded 
goodwill and negative goodwill.  Thus, these balances have been fully 
amortized, resulting in a higher net charge to income for the period of 
ThCh$53,647,938, which is included in goodwill and negative goodwill 
amortization in the income statement.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

 
17. shareholders’ equity

a.  Paid capital

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Enersis held on 
March 31st 2003 approved a capital increase of about US$2,000 million.  
The issue was registered in the Securities Register on May 23 2003 under 
No. 686 for Ch$1,473,225,403,563 pesos, divided into 24,382,994,488 
shares. The operation was structured as follows:

1) First preferential underwriting period (from May 31 to June 30), in 
which shareholders registered in the company register at last May 26 have 
the option of taking up 2.9408 new shares for each old one at a price of 
Ch$60.4202 per share.

 2) Voluntary redemption of local bonds (from November 1 to 15), 
in which holders of local 269 bonds (series B1 and B2) may exchange 
their bonds for Enersis shares, according to the value assigned by the 
aforementioned independent expert and at placement price - Ch$ 60.4202 
per share.

3) Second preferential underwriting period (from November 20 to 
December 20), in which all Enersis shareholders registered five working 
days before the start of this new period, except for the controlling partner 
and its members, may participate.

In this phase, shareholders may take up the remaining shares that 
were not underwritten at the close of the preferential underwriting period 
and at the conclusion of the voluntary redemption of local bonds. In this 
period, new issue shares may only be paid in cash at the same price of 
Ch$ 60.4202 per share.

Once the deadline for the capital increase has expired (December 
30 2003), its final amount will be the amount actually underwritten and 
paid in.

At June 30 2003, end date of the first preferential underwriting 
period, 22,113,264,060 shares were underwritten for a sum of 
Ch$1,336,087,841,061 equivalent to 90.69% of the total issue. Of total 
shares underwritten in this preferential period, 14,406,840,511 shares 
were taken up by controlling shareholder Elesur for the equivalent of 
Ch$870,464,185,043 pesos and 7,706,423,549 shares by minority 
shareholders for the equivalent of Ch$465,623,656,018 pesos.

Elesur underwrote and paid in its shares by capitalizing the financial 
credits that it held with Enersis on the date of underwriting, which, according 
to expert report drawn up by Mr. Eduardo Walker, which was approved by 
the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on March 31 2003, amounts to 
86.84% of its par value, with the difference being recorded as a share 
premium of Ch$131,912,812,936.

The second preferential underwriting period in November 2003 involved 
the voluntary exchange of 269 bonds, series B1 and B2. Holders converted 
Ch$63,656,586,836 into the equivalent of 893,612,466 first issues shares; 
the amounts underwritten were determined by experts by capitalizing 
Ch$46,964,178,894 for series B1 and Ch7,028,065,024 for series B2, at 
Ch$ 60.4202 per share. This operation meant recording a share premium 
of Ch$6,247,821,056.

During the second preferential underwriting period, 1,244,542,758 

shares equivalent to Ch$75,195,523,918 were subscribed.

The second share underwriting period concluded on December 30, 
determining the capital increase, in which 99.9% of the capital authorized 
by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, in other words 
24,360,146,365 shares, was subscribed, leaving Enersis’ capital with a 
total of 32,651,166,465 subscribed and paid in shares.

Within the compass of the financial strengthening plan, approved 
in October 2002, Enersis and its subsidiary Endesa Chile have obtained 
financing during this year by placing bonds on the local market and on the 
US market; this has enabled them to obtain financing with a fixed rate debt 
and prepay obligations with banks which had a variable rate.

272

The above, together with prepayment of borrowings made using 
resources obtained from the capital increase, has reduced the variable 
debt by about US$1,550 million.

 As a result of the above, hedging instruments covering variable rate 
borrowings, which were refinanced at fixed rates or prepaid, now have 
no associated debt and, therefore, appear in the derivatives schedule as 
investments.

24. commitments and contingencies

a. Litigation and other legal actions:

i.   Court : 2nd Labor Court of Santiago

Process number : 6061-2001
Cause : Complaint filed for severance pay for years of service on 
December 19, 2001 by Mr. Guillermo Calderón Ortega against Enersis 
S.A.
Process status : On 01/31/2003 appealable judgment was passed, 
endorsing the petition. An appeal for annulment was filed in the 
manner

of the petition were disallowed, since the court judged that it was

Amounts involved: Indeterminate.

iii.   Court : 25th Civil Court of Santiago

Process number: 3151-00
Cause: Complaint filed for compensation of damages by Mrs. Odette 
Legrand Halcartegaray against Enersis S.A..
Process status: On January 31 2003 the decision was handed down 
disallowing the petition. This decision has been appealed.

Amounts involved: ThCh$50,000

iv.   Economic protection appeal, filed before the Court of Appeals for 
Santiago, List N°4591-2002, for Compañía de Teléfonos Complejo 
Manufacturero de Equipos Telefónicos S.A.C.I., CMET, against Enersis 
S.A.. The appeal was filed on 08/27/02 by CMET against Enersis S.A., 
which seemed to be based on the fact that Enersis S.A., through 
various acts, facts or omissions, would have breached article 19 
N°21 of the Political Constitution of the Republic, preventing CMET 
from developing its commercial activities.

   On 09.17.02, Enersis S.A. informed the Court, as requested, carrying 
out all the discharges it deemed reasonable in accordance with 
law and, expressly rejected CMET’s accusations because of their 
unfounded nature.

Amounts involved: ThCh$52,858

  On 11.09.03, the Court ruled on this appeal, disallowing all of its 

parts, with costs.

ii.   The Ordinary Labor Trial, titled “Acevedo Bravo, Efraín and Others 
with Enersis S.A.”, case list N°4.175-2002, heard before the 4th Labor 
Court for Santiago, arising from the claim for the payment of 2% 
monthly contribution made to finance the claimants’ conventional 
severance indemnity. 

CMET filed an appeal for reconsideration of this verdict, with 
alternative appeals, which have still not been ruled on.

Amounts involved: Undeterminable.

The claim was notified on 11/06/2002, against which dilatory 
exceptions were opposed on 12/09/2002 and the claim was 
answered on a subsidiary basis. On December 18 2003, all parts 

v.   In a Meeting on March 7 2003, the Board of Directors of the 
Company agreed unanimously to submit the dispute with the 
Argentine Republic over the investments made by the Enersis

Group in that country through Enersis S.A., Empresa Nacional de

Chilectra S.A., to international arbitration by the International Center 
for the Settlement of Differences Involving Investments between 
States and Nationals of other States, C.I.A.D.I. On July 22 2003, Ciadi 
recorded the petition for arbitration. The procedure for appointing 
and forming the arbitration panel is currently ongoing.

vi.   Appealable tax proceeding, that is, before the Internal Revenue 
Service, because of the difference of ThCh$62,400 between First 
Category Income Tax and Repayment of Monthly Provisional 
Payments for absorbed profits from the 1998 tax year. This 
proceeding is at the sentencing stage. 

vii.  Appealable tax proceeding, that is, before the Internal Revenue 
Service, because of the difference of ThCh$1,461,400 between 
First Category Income Tax and Repayment of Monthly Provisional 
Payments for profits absorbed from the 1999 tax year. This 
proceeding is at the discussion stage. 

viii. Appealable tax proceeding, that is, before the Internal Revenue 
Service, because of the difference of ThCh$900,000 between

Islas Caimán, Enersis Internacional, Chilectra S.A., Chilectra S.A. 
Agencia Islas Caimán y Empresa Nacional de Electricidad.

  On May 30, 2000 Pérez Companc S.A., today PECOM ENERGIA 
S.A. and PCI Power Edesur Holding Limited (together, “PECOM”) 
commenced an action against Endesa-Chile, Chilectra and Enersis 
(together, “Enersis Group”) before the Arbitration Court of the 
International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France.  PECOM has 
petitioned the court to either:

Recognize its alleged right to nominate both a director and an 
alternate director in addition to the directors whom it already has 
the right to nominate in Distrilec Inversora; or State that PECOM and 
the Enersis Group should each have an equal number of directors 
in Distrilec Inversora.

  On August 2, 2000, Enersis Group contested PECOM’s action and 
presented a counterclaim requesting the court to terminate several 
agreements among the parties.  Likewise, PECOM requested to be 
compensated by the Enersis Group if the agreements among the 
parties were terminated.  Based on the provisional estimates made 
by PECOM, the Arbitration Court determined that the amount of the 
suit is between US$ 180-200 million.  The parties have presented 
their arguments, evidence and final allegations.  The Arbitration 
Court issued an arbitration award on September 2, 2002, ruling 
that Enersis Group and PECOM keep their rights to nominate equal 
number of board members in Distrilec Inversora S.A. and rejecting 
not only the Enersis Group’s counterclaim, but also Epsom’s claim 
for compensation of approximately US$ 200 millions.  Enersis Group 
challenged the arbitration award through an appeal for annulment, 
which was filed before the Uruguayan Court of Appeals.  The Republic 
of Uruguay is the domicile established by the Arbitration Court for 
all legal purposes.  The Uruguayan Court of Appeals has concluded 
the probative year and is working on the final judgment.

  On June 18, 2003, Montevideo’s Civil Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit, 
ruled on an unappealable basis that the ruling of the Arbitration 
Court of the International Chamber of Commerce stands, therefore 
the Arbitral Award remains definitive. 

In this context, on November 5 2003 notice has been served of 
the petition to regulate lawyers’ fees arising from challenging the 
arbitral award as invalid, petitioning that they be set at between 
US$1,270,000 and US$15,210,000.

These amounts are based on differing circumstances.

US$15,210,000 is calculated on the basis of the amount set for the 
Arbitral Award in the respective “Mission Record”. This figure is a 
claim enforced by Petrobrás Argentina at the end of the arbitration 
proceeding’s hearing period in the sense that, if the ruling declared 
the aforementioned agreements of shareholders null and void, said 
Groups should be indemnified with the above amount. Since the 
above ruling declared that the shareholders’ agreements remained 
in force, the International Chamber of Commerce rejected this 
subsidiary claim.

US$1,270,000, in contrast, is obtained based on the amount 
of Ur$400 million set by the court for certain social security 
contributions demanded from the lawyers in Uruguay.

Since both figures are not presented as subsidiary to each other, 
the Company’s Uruguayan lawyer understands that the most 
the plaintiff could aspire to is an award for the lower figure, i.e. 
US$1,270,000.

Furthermore, when the remedy of invalidity was filed it stated that 
the matter was not susceptible to pecuniary valuation, and this was 
not disputed.

273

  On November 19 2003, a plea was raised in defense against the 

petition to regulate the fees.

  On December 10 2003, notified on December 16 2003, the appeal 
for reconsideration of judgment filed by the Company’s side so that 
proceedings would move on to receiving evidence was disallowed, 
and the proceeding stayed in the award stage.  

b.  Restrictions:

•   The Company’s loan agreements establish an obligation to comply 

with the following financial ratios, on a consolidated level:

•   Enersis’s ratio between debt and cash flow for four quarters and 

that of its Chilean subsidiaries did not exceed 8.75x;

•   The ratio of consolidated debt to EBITDA for four consolidated 

quarters, not exceeding 5.0x;

•   The ratio of Enersis and its Chilean subsidiaries cash flow to 
financial expenses for four quarters, not less than 1.25x;
•   The ratio of consolidated debt to shareholders’ equity plus 

minority interest not exceeding 80%;

•   Assets corresponding to companies whose business is regulated, 
is not to be less than 50% of the total consolidated assets.
•   M i n i m u m   s h a re h o l d e r s ’   e q u i t y   a t   l e a st   e q u a l   to 

ThCh$ 456,840,000 (U.F.27 million)

As of December 31, 2003 all these obligations have been met.

unconsolidated financial statements 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
•  As a common and habitual practice for some bank loan debts and 
also in capital markets, a substantial portion of Enersis S.A.’s financial 
indebtedness is subject to cross-failure provisions.  Some failures of 
relevant subsidiaries, if not corrected in time (as to those specific 
provisions allowing a year of time to correct the problem), might 
result in the cross-failure at the Endesa-Chile and Enersis S.A. level., 
and, in this case, significant percent of Enersis S.A.’s consolidated 
liabilities might eventually become on demand.

25. sureties obtained from third parties

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has received sureties as follows:

•   There are no longer debt covenants that specify the acceleration 
of maturities, if the Company’s risk-rating falls below investment-
grade. 

At December 31, 2003 these obligations and restrictions have been 
fully met.

Capital Increase of Cerj

Provisional dividend

On December 10, 2002 the Extraordinary General Meeting of the 
Shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the capital of CERJ 
of approximately US$M 105,000.

This increase took place on January 10, 2003 by means of an issue and 
subscription of 770,833,333,333 new ordinary shares valued at R$ 0.48 per lot 
of one thousand shares, totaling the US$M 100,000 approved at the Meeting 
and which increased the capital of the Company by US$M 259,085. 

With this operation, the direct participation held by Enersis S.A. through 

its agency rose from 20.38% to 40.03%. 

Accounting  adjustments  and  extraordinary  charges  during  the 
2002 period 

At an extraordinary meeting held on January 15, 2003 the Board of 
Directors of Enersis S.A. agreed to take note of the fact that the Company 
was to make accounting adjustments and extraordinary charges to the 
Balance Sheet with respect to its investments in its subsidiaries in Chile 
and abroad for a total of the equivalent of US$ 387 million in Chilean 
Pesos, reflecting these extraordinary adjustments in the results for the 
year 2002. 

278

These adjustments and extraordinary charges will not have an 
impact on the cash flows of the Company and will be reflected in the 
financial statements of Enersis S.A. corresponding to the year 2002. The 
adjustments and extraordinary charges made and the provisions established 
as of November 30, 2002 are broken down as follows (the figures shown 
correspond to the impact on the financial statements of Enersis S.A.):

Generation

Totals

We should point out that of the US$ 387 million, US$ 329 million came 
from the acceleration of the amortization of the net balance of greater 
and lesser values of the investments in generation and distribution in 
Brazil and Argentina.  

To the above figure should be subtracted the provisions made as of 

November 30, 2002, in accordance with the following breakdown: 

US$ 81 million

Brazil   
Argentina 
Total Provisions   

US$ 16 million
US$ 97 million 

With reference to the above, and taking into consideration the 
provisions established, the effects of the adjustments and extraordinary 
charges on the results of the company will amount to approximately the 
equivalent in Chilean Pesos of US$ 290 million. 

At a meeting held on February 10, 2003 the Board of Directors 
of Enersis S.A. unanimously agreed to pay a dividend in the month of 
February, 2003 as no such conditions were foreseen in the Company’s 
Policy on Dividends.

Financial strengthening  

At an extraordinary meeting held on October 4, 2002 the Board of 
Directors of Enersis S.A. approved a financial strengthening plan aimed 
at strengthening the equity by improving its credit structure to permit 
the Company to face the situation in the region that was affecting its 
investments.

For this, the same letter announced a capital increase of US$ 
1,500,000,000 (One thousand five hundred million United States Dollars), 
which contemplated cash contributions and / or contributions consisting 
of financial credits.  

With respect to this capital increase, the Board of Enersis S.A., in its 
meeting held on February 17 of this year, has decided, with the unanimous 
vote of those members present, to propose to the shareholders at a General 
Meeting to be held, that the amount of the capital increase be for the 
Chilean Peso equivalent to US$ 2,000,000,000 (Two thousand million 
United States Dollars), thus increasing by US$ 500,000,000 (Five hundred 
million Unites States Dollars) the figure originally contemplated. As informed 
in the mentioned Essential Fact, the capital increase contemplates cash 
contributions and / or contributions consisting of financial credits.

Enersis S.A. present, unanimously agreed the following:

Refinancing bank debt    

Increase in capital of Enersis, repurchase of Yankee Bonds

At a meeting held on March 11 of this year, the Board of the Company 

agreed the following: 

1.  ENERSIS  S.A.  (Enersis)  and  its  subsidiary,  Empresa  Nacional  de 
Electricidad  S.A.  (Endesa-Chile)  gave  mandates  in  order  to  initiate 
the  syndication  of  credits  for  approximately  US$  2.3  thousand 
million, after reaching an agreement with the four lead banks. BBVA 
S.A.,  Dresdner  Kleinwort  Wasserstein,  Salomon  Smith  Barney  Inc. 
and  Santander  Central  Hispano  Investment  Securities  have  agreed 
with  Enersis  and  Endesa  Chile  to  put  into  place  an  operation  to 
refinance their bank borrowings. Enersis’ credit is for approximately 
US$  1.6  thousand  million  whilst  that  of  Endesa  Chile  amounts  to 
approximately US$ 0.7 thousand million. The group of four entities 
holding  the  mandate  account  for  approximately  US$  1.1  thousand 
million of the debt to be refinanced by the Group on a consolidated 
basis. 

2.  The principal objective of this refinance that falls within the Financial 
Strengthening  Plan  of  these  companies,  is  to  reduce  consolidated 
borrowings by approximately US$ 2.2 thousand million. 

3.  The refinancing proposed has a new term up to 2008 with half-yearly 
amortizations  commencing  30  months  from  the  initiation  of  the 
operation. Furthermore, the clause that permitted a pre-payment in 
the event of a deterioration of the credit rating given by the risk rating 
agencies will be replaced by a series of new financial covenants and 
commitments that will match their business plan. 

4.  Also considered is that the new operation will have certain additional 
guarantees,  within  the  Enersis  Group,  that  will  be  compatible  with 
the limits permitted by the contracts that cover the rest of the current 
debts of Enersis and Endesa Chile.

5.  The conditions of the operation have been agreed by the four banks 
mentioned and by the Directors of Enersis and Endesa Chile and will 
be presented shortly to the rest of the banks for their consideration 
and approval. 

Río Maipo awarded

At a meeting held on March 28, 2003 the Board of Directors of ENERSIS 
S.A. analyzed the offers received for the entire shares that ENERSIS S.A. 
holds in its Chilean subsidiary, Compañía Eléctrica del Río Maipo S.A. (Río 
Maipo).

Furthermore, the Board has agreed to propose to the Extraordinary 
General Meeting of Shareholders of ENERSIS S.A. to be held on March 31, 
2003 that it authorize the sale of all the shares owned by ENERSIS S.A. 
issued by Río Maipo (356,078,645 shares), declared as essential assets, 
in favor of CGE Distribución S.A., a subsidiary of Compañía General de 
Electricidad S.A., that has presented the best purchase offer. 

The purchase price of the shares mentioned above offered by CGE 
Distribución S.A. amounts to US$ 170,071,000 (One hundred and seventy 
million and seventy one thousand United States Dollars). The effects of 
this operation on the results of ENERSIS S.A. will be approximately US$ 
126 million before tax.  

At a meeting held on March 28, 2003 the Board of Enersis S.A. agreed to 
propose the following operation to the senior management of its subsidiary 
Enersis Internacional: To purchase from the shareholders of Enersis S.A. 
that hold the right to participate in the second preferential option period of 
the capital increase to be submitted to the Extraordinary General Meeting 
of Shareholders to be held on March 31, 2003, the American bonds that 
Enersis S.A.’s  agency in Cayman Islands issued in November 1966 on the 
international market (Yankee Bonds). This purchase will take place with 
a global and total limit of US$ 50 million and in the other conditions 
established  below or those additional terms that may be established by 
Enersis Internacional and will be advised to the market at the time. This 
acquisition will reflect a sign of support of the shareholders of Enersis S.A. 
who, in addition are holders of Yankee Bonds, which will motivate a greater 
subscription of the shares issued in this capital increase. The mechanism 
describer shall have the additional benefit of reducing the consolidated 
debt of the Company, replacing it with equity. The purchase of the Yankee 
Bonds will be made at the same price estimated by the expert, Eduardo 
Walker in his expert report dated March 6, 2003 which has been widely 
circulated amongst the shareholders and the market in general and, for a 
limited amount, considering each shareholder individually, equivalent to 
the amount required for the shareholder to be in a condition to subscribe 
the pro rata that corresponds to him in the second period of the preferential 
offer of the capital increase of Enersis S.A. In accordance with the terms of 
the contract covering the purchase of the bonds he subscribes with Enersis 
Internacional, the shareholder that is selling is obliged to utilize the resources 
he will receive from the sale of his Yankee Bonds to subscribe the shares 
from the new issue of the Company. If the offers for sale of Yankee Bonds 
exceed the total and global amount of US$ 50 million, the purchase will be 
carried out, amongst all the interested parties, pro rata, in the conditions 
that will be determined by the Board of Enersis Internacional. 

Signing of the syndicated loans

As of May 12, 2003, syndicated loans agreements have been signed 
by Enersis S.A. and its subsidiary Endesa Chile with 32 banks to refinance 
borrowings of US$ 2,330 million. We trust this operation will be concluded 
at the latest May 15, 2003 as it is subject to the satisfaction of the various 
conditions precedent. 

The US$ 2,330 million that mature during the current year and in 2004 
will have a new term expiring in 2008 with amortizations commencing 
in the year 2005. These syndicated loans eliminate the possibility of any 
accelerated repayment of the credits due to a deterioration in the degree 
of investment rating.

In accordance with Circular Nº 988 issued by that Superintendency, we 
inform you that the rise in the average financial costs of the debt involved in 
this operation will be more than compensated by the effects of the measures 
considered in the Financial Strengthening Plan of the Group, amongst which 
is the reduction of some US$ 2,300 million in consolidated debt.    

Refinancing 

Following the agreement reached by the Board of Directors of Enersis 

S.A. in the meeting on May 15 of this year, we report the following:

1.  Enersis S.A. (Enersis) and its subsidiary Empresa Nacional de Electricidad 
S.A. (Endesa-Chile) as of this date, have complied with all the conditions 
precedent required for the syndicated loans, signed by these companies 
with 32 banks, amongst which are all the banks that participated in the 

279

unconsolidated financial statements 

previous bank credits – on last May 12. Thus, the operation has been 
closed. The signing of these credits has already been informed to that 
Superintendency in our Essential Fact letter dated May 12, 2003. 

2.  These syndicated loans will be utilized to refinance the debts of Enersis 
and  Endesa  Chile  for  some  US$  2,330  million,  US$  1,587  million 
corresponding to Enersis and US$ 743 million to Endesa-Chile. 

3.  The principal objective of this refinance that falls within the Financial 
Strengthening  Plan  of  these  companies,  is  to  reduce  consolidated 
borrowings by approximately US$ 2.3 thousand million. 

4.  The syndicated loans consider a new term up till 2008, at fixed annual 
rates for the life of the credits of Libor + 350 basis points for Enersis 
S.A.  and  Libor  +  300  basis  points  for  Endesa-Chile,  with  half-yearly 
amortizations  of  capital  to  commence  from  November  205.  These 
credits contemplate a grace period of 30 months from May 15, 2003 
during  which  interest  will  be  paid  only  on  the  new  credits.  This  will 
permit  Enersis  and  its  subsidiary  Endesa-Chile  a  better  compatibility 
with its respective cash flows during the initial years with an adequate 
service of the current debt. The clause that allowed for an acceleration 
of the repayment in the potential case of a loss of the investment grade 
by Standard & Poor’s due to a deterioration in the risk rating granted 
by the risk rating agency and the clause that linked the interest of the 
credit to the risk rating of the Companies have been eliminated and 
were replaced by a series of new covenants and financial commitments

5.  For the purposes of this refinancing, Enersis and Endesa-Chile have 
granted  certain  guarantees  in  favor  of  the  32  banks  mentioned 
above.  Enersis  has  given  in  lien  all  the  shares  it  owns  in  Chilectra 
S.A. and has also given under lien the credits owed to it by Chilectra 
S.A. The obligations assumed by Endesa-Chile under the new credits 
are  guaranteed  by  personal  guarantees  and  co-debtor  conditions 
its  subsidiaries  Empresa  Eléctrica  Pehuenche  S.A., 
granted  by 
Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. and Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A.

6.  The rise in the average financial costs of the aforementioned operation 
will be compensated by the effects of the measures considered in the 
Financial  Strengthening  Plan  of  the  Group,  amongst  which  is  the 
reduction of some US$ 2,300 million in consolidated debt. 

Transfer of shares in Enersis   

On August 1, 2003 this company was informed that Elesur S.A. sold to 
Endesa Internacional S.A.,  both companies 100% controlled by the Endesa 
Spain Group, 17,321,166,047 shares in Enersis S.A. corresponding to 56.9697% 
of the capital of Enersis S.A. at a price equivalent to 68.5 pesos per share.

This transfer does not mean any change in the total share participation 
the Endesa Group holds in Enersis S.A. nor in the control that the Group 
has over Enersis S.A. Furthermore, we are advised that this was done as 
part of the process of rationalization and simplification of the corporate 
structure of the Endesa Group. 

Provisional dividend

At a meeting held on July 30, 2003 the Board of Directors of Enersis 
S.A. unanimously agreed not to pay a provisional dividend in the month 
of August 2003, charged to the results of the month of June, 2003 in 
accordance with current policy on the matter, as no such conditions are 
foreseen in the Company’s Policy on Dividends. 

Provisional dividend

At a meeting held on October 31, 2003 the Board of Directors of Enersis 
S.A. unanimously agreed not to pay a provisional dividend in the month of 
November 2003, charged to the results of the month of September 2003, 
in accordance with current policy on the matter, as no such conditions are

Voluntary redemption of local bonds

The process of “The Offer to voluntarily redeem Bonds Nº 269, Series B1 
and B2, initiated last  November  1was concluded on November 15, 2003. 
This process gave all holders of these bonds issued by Enersis S.A. the option 
to exchange them for first issue payment shares in the Company. 

On concluding this process, we report that a total of 893,612,466 
shares were subscribed, corresponding to Ch$ 53,992,243,918. This sum 
implies a reduction in debt for Enersis S.A. of UF 3,666,621. With this 
operation, 64.84% of the UF value of the Bonds Series B1 and B2 when it 
started were exchanged.  

Furthermore, as a consequence of the exchange of these bonds, the 
shareholders of Enersis S.A. registered as of the close of November 14, 2003 
may participate in the so-called Second Preferential Offer Period of the 
capital increase of the Company, having the right to subscribe 0.1196427367 
shares of a new issue for each share registered in their names as of the 
date indicated above.  

Prepayment of syndicated loans

In a meeting held on Tuesday, November 25, the Board of Directors of 

the Company agreed to report the following: 

1.  Enersis S.A. has prepaid the entire syndicated loan it had with BBVA 
S.A.,  Dresdner  Kleinwort  Wasserstein,  Salomon  Smith  Barney,  Inc. 
and Santander Central Hispano Investment Securities together with 
a  further  27  institutions  which  was  granted  on  May  15,  2003  for 
approximately  US$  1,587  million.  This  last  prepayment  implied  for 
the Company the liberation of security established in favor of those 
creditor banks, i.e., the lien on the shares owned by Enersis S.A. and 
issued  by  its  subsidiary,  Chilectra  S.A.  as  well  as  the  lien  on  inter-
company loans granted by Enersis S.A. in favor of Chilectra S.A.

2.  This last prepayment was made principally with funds from a credit 
for US$ 500 million signed on November 14, 2003 with the Banco 
Bilbao  Vizcaya  Argentaria,  The  Bank  of  Tokio-Mitsubishi  Ltd.,  Caja 
Madrid  (Agency),  Deutsche  Bank  Securities  Inc.  and  San  Paolo  IMI 
S.p.A., from the issue and placement of bonds on the United States 
market )Yankee Bonds) on November 24, 2003 for US$ 350 million 
and from other sources. The Yankee Bonds were issued at a term of 
ten years and with a bullet payment, under Rule 144A at a rate of 
7.375% per annum.  

3.  The  refinancing  mentioned  falls  within  the  Financial  Strengthening 

Plan adopted by the Company on October 4, 2002. 

 Capital increase is concluded

At a meeting held on last December 18, the Board of Directors informed 
you by means of an Essential Fact letter of the conclusion of the Second 
Preferential Subscription Period of the capital increase of Enersis S.A. agreed 
by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 31, 2003.

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

As is public knowledge, this capital increase contemplated three phases; 
two periods of preferential subscription and one period to redeem local 
bonds payable in new issue shares. 

The effects this capital increase will have on the results of Enersis S.A., 
in accordance with Circular Nº 988 of that Superintendency cannot be 
reasonably quantified as of this date.

The First Preferential Subscription Period commenced on May 31, 2003 
and concluded on June 30, 2003. The Second Preferential Subscription 
Period ran from November 20, 2003 to December 20, 2003. 

Notwithstanding the above, we must bear in mind that this capital 

increase significantly strengthens the equity structure of the company.

Furthermore, as also reported at the time to that Superintendency 
and to the general public, between last November 1 and 15, there was an 
“Offer to Voluntarily Redeem Bonds Nº 269, Series B1 and B2”, the result 
of which was informed to you by means of an Essential Fact letter dated 
last November 17. This process gave all the bearers of these local bonds 
issued by Enersis S.A. the option to exchange them for first issue payment 
shares in the Company. 

On concluding the Second Preferential Subscription Period of the capital 
increase mentioned, we report that a total of 24,360,123,331 shares were 
subscribed, corresponding to Ch$ 1,471,843,528,820. This sum implies that 
a 99.9% capital increase approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting 
of Shareholders of Enersis S.A. on March 31 is fully subscribed and paid in 
as of this date. (The part of the capital increase not subscribed and paid 
in will mature on December 30, 2003, leaving the capital of Enersis S.A. 
reduced to that actually subscribed and paid in). 

Elesur shares   

On December 22, 2003 Enersis S.A. was informed that its shareholder 
Elesur S.A. had sold and transferred to Endesa Internacional S.A., both 100% 
subsidiaries of the Endesa Spain Group, 1,778,826,237 shares in Enersis 
S.A., representing 5.448475% of the registered capital of Enersis S.A., at a 
price equivalent to Ch$ 84.50 per share.    

This transfer does not mean any change in the control that this Group 
has over the Company and we have been advised that this operation was 
done as part of the process of rationalization and simplification of the 
corporate structure of the Endesa Group in Spain.

(*) Earnings Before Income Tax, Interest, Deprecation  and Amortization of Extraordinary Items

a.  Net Operating Income had a positive variation of Ch$ 5,004 million 
that is explained by lower costs of personnel and general services.

b.  The Net Non Operating Income of the Company rose by Ch$ 209,813 
million or 96.3% from a loss of Ch$ 217,800 million in the year 2002 
to a loss of Ch$ 7,987 million in 2003.

This is explained by the following variations:

The net financial margin suffered a negative variation of Ch$ 15,008 
million with respect to the same period of the previous year. This variation 
is principally due to an increase of Ch$ 39,316 million in financial costs with 
third parties, of which Ch$ 25,638 million correspond to the acceleration of 
deferred expenses related to the refinancing of debt, compensated by lower 
costs and financial revenues with related companies whose net effect was 
Ch$ 24,308 million, explained by the elimination of the debt with Elesur 
S.A. capitalized in the month of June 2003.

Investments in related companies as of December 31, 2003 show a 
net profit of Ch$ 42,085, an increase of Ch$ 50,613 million from the loss 
of Ch$ 8,528 for the same period of the previous year. This increase is due 
principally to an increase in the results from investments in Endesa S.A., 
Chilectra S.A., Investluz, Inmobiliaria Manso de Velasco S.A., Synapsis IT 
Ltda., Cam Ltda., Luz de Bogotá S.A., compensated by a reduction of Ch$ 
131,741 million in the results from Edesur S.A., Distrilec S.A., Cerj, Enersis 
Internacional, Luz de Río and Río Maipo S.A.

The amortization of negative goodwill fell by Ch$ 59,104 million to Ch$ 
49,864 million as of December 31, 2003. This reduction is fundamentally 
due to a lower amortization in the companies that are established in Brazil 
and Argentina as a result of the accelerated amortization applied to the 
balances of negative goodwill as of December 31, 2002. 

The other non operating income and expenses achieved a net profit 
of Ch$ 76,624 million as of December 31, 2003, a positive variation of Ch$ 

Enersis / 2003 annual report 

72,271 when compared to the loss of Ch$ 4,353 as of the same date in 
2002.  This explained principally by:

Interest Rate Risk

•  The accounting of the profit on the sale of Río Maipo of Ch$ 87,827 

million.

•  A reduction of Ch$ 17,190 million in the loss for not having participated 

in the capital increase of Cerj in July 2002.

•  Compensated by a decrease of Ch$ 8,932 million in the profit on the 

adjustment on investments in related companies.

•  By  a  reduction  of  Ch$  4,863  million  in  the  profit  on  forward 

contracts.

•  By an increase of Ch$ 11,329 million in the provision on the negative 
net worth of the subsidiary Luz de Río and the increase of Ch$ 2,915 
million  in  the  loss  from  the  adjustment  on  investments  in  related 
companies. 

•  By an increase of Ch$ 5,370 million in the extraordinary provision. 

The price-level restatement and exchange differences reflect a net 
positive variation of Ch$ 42,833 million with respect to the same period 
of the previous year, rising from a loss of Ch$ 16,726 million as of December 
31, 2002 to a profit of Ch$ 26,107 million in the year 2003. The above is 
principally due to the greater impact from the appreciation of the Chilean 
Peso against the US Dollar during this year.

The variation in the exchange rate during the period ended December 
31, 2003 is an actual appreciation of 18.47% of the Chilean Peso against 
the US Dollar compared to a real devaluation of 6.75% of the Chilean Peso 
with respect to the US Dollar during the same period of the year 2002. 

Income and deferred taxes show a rise in profit of Ch$ 3,055 million in 
comparison to the same period of last year, increasing from a profit of Ch$ 
9,581 million as of December 2002 to a profit of Ch$ 12,636 million during 
this period. This is explained mainly by an increase of Ch$ 19,339 million 
in the profit from deferred taxes, compensated by a rise of Ch$ 16,285 in 
taxes payable due to the sale of Río Maipo S.A. 

Amortizations of the positive goodwill of investments shows an increase 
of Ch$ 21,635 million in the amortization during the period, reflecting 
the accelerated amortization of the positive goodwill generated by the 
investment made in January 2003 in Cerj. 

As of the close of December 31, 2003 Enersis had its entire variable 
debt (indexed to Libor-US$) covered by derivatives, thus there was no 
significant exposure to fluctuations in the rates of interest. As of December 
31, 2002,Enersis also had the entire variable debt (indexed to Libor-US$) 
hedged against fluctuations in interest rates. 

The decrease in the proportion of the variable debt is due to the 
capitalization of the loans granted by the Parent Company, to the issue 
of international bonds at fixed rates and to the successful capital increase 
process from which the resources were utilized to pay variable loans in US 
Dollars (indexed to Libor-US$). 

Bearing in mind the debt situation of all its subsidiary companies, 
this structure would be 1% and 12% as of the close of December 2003 and 
December 2002 respectively. 

Exchange Risk

Enersis’ individual exposure to an exchange risk is derived from 
the liabilities denominated in foreign currency, most of which are in US 
Dollars.

As of December 31, 2003, 96% of the individual debt was expressed 

in US Dollars. 

Enersis holds forward sales contracts in US Dollars to hedge its Assets/

Liabilities mismatch. 

As of the close of September 30, 2003 97% of the debt was 

denominated in US Dollars. 

283

The reason behind the largest part of our debt being denominated 
in US Dollars is the fact that an important proportion of our revenues is 
directly or indirectly related to the US Dollar. 

The exchange risk exposure is currently handled on a consolidated basis. 
The Company’s policy is to hedge between 70% and 85% of the booked 
exposure to exchange risks. 

The application of this policy lies basically in the maintenance of a 
position of US$/CLP forward contracts. As of the close of December 2003 
and September 2003, Enersis had an overbought position in US$/CLP 
forwards of –US$ 219 million and an overbought position in US$/CLP of 
–US$ 163 million, respectively. The variation in the hedging contracts is 
explained by the reduction in the debt in US Dollars.

•   An increase of Ch$ 16,268 million in income tax mainly due to the 

respect to December 31, 2002, explained principally by: 

sale of Río Maipo S.A. 

•   A reduction of Ch$ 1,018,224 million in short and long-term accounts 
payable to related companies, principally to Elesur S.A. whose debt 
was capitalized. 

•   An  increase  of  Ch$  11,143  million  in  the  negative  net  worth 
of  investments  and  an  increase  of  Ch$  4,943  million  in  other 
provisions. 

•   A reduction of Ch$ 835,972 million in obligations with banks and with 
the public due to payments of Ch$ 1,195,040 million made during the 
period and to the variation in the exchange rate between December 
31,  2003  and  December  31,  2002  whose  effect  amounted  to  Ch$ 
228,739  million,  compensated  by  loans  for  Ch$  367,699  million 
obtained  from  banks  and  by  an  international  bond  issue  for  Ch$ 
220,108 million.

•   A reduction of Ch$ 23,328 million in other short and long-term assets 
related  mainly  to  the  calculation  of  a  fair  value  of  the  derivative 
contracts.    

  With regard to the equity, we point out that this rose by Ch$ 1,532,756 
million with respect to December 31, 2002. This variation is explained 
principally by: 

•   The  increase  of  Ch$  1,468,991  million  in  paid-in  capital  following 
the subscription of 24,360 million shares as a result of the overprice 
principally due to the capitalization by Ch$ 125,619 million of Elesur 
and to the recording of the profit of Ch$ 12,468 million for the period. 
This is compensated in part by the reduction of Ch$ 73,020 million in 
other reserves.

Principal Ratios

The liquidity ratio as of December 2003 was 2.18 times, a rise of 1.48 
points with respect to the same date of the previous year due principally to 
the reduction in short-term obligations with banks that were paid during 
the period.  

The debt ratio as of December 31, 2003 was 0.40 times. When 
compared to the same period of the year 2002, there is a decrease of 

2.45 points. This reduction is due principally to the increase in Enersis’ 
capital and to a reduction in accounts payable to related companies and 
to the payment of bank credits. 

The return on equity closed at 0.49%. As of the same date of the 
previous year, this was –22.25%. This increase in the return is due to the 
improvement in the profit for the period with respect to the 2002 period.  

3. principal cash flows

During the period, the company generated a net cash flow of Ch$ 3,078 

million, which is comprised of the following items:

The operating activities generated a negative cash flow of Ch$ 88,238 
million that represents a reduction of 750.0% with respect to December 
2002. This cash flow is comprised principally by the profit of Ch$ 87,827 
million on sales of assets and a fall of Ch$ 26,964 million in the assets and 
liabilities that affect the operating cash flow, compensated by a profit for 
the period of Ch$ 12,468 million and by charges for Ch$ 14,085 million to 
the income statement that do not represent cash flows.

The financing activities generated a negative cash flow of Ch$ 125,187 
million, originated mainly by the payment of loans of Ch$ 1,140,141 million 
to third parties, by disbursements of other financial expenses of Ch$ 60,305 

million and by the payment of loans to related companies for Ch$ 64,898 
million, all compensated by the share issue for Ch$ 535,633 million and 
by the receipt of loans from banks and other sources of financing for Ch$ 
604,594 million. 

Investment activities generated a net positive cash flow of Ch$ 210,347 
million explained fundamentally by the sale of fixed investments for Ch$ 
161,428 million, by the collection of loans from related companies for Ch$ 
53,071 million and by the collection of other revenues from investments 
of Ch$ 1,635 million, compensated by payments of Ch$ 5,788 million to 
related companies.

With regard to the more important assets, we mention the 

following:

The value of the items in fixed assets have been adjusted in accordance 
with the accounting criteria established by the Chilean Superintendency of 
Securities and Insurance in its Circulars Nº 550 and 556 issued in 1985. In 
the case of the foreign company, Inversiones Distrilima S.A., the value of the 
fixed assets were adjusted in accordance with the exception criteria indicated 
in Technical Bulletin Nº 45 issued by the Chilean College of Accountants, 
the norm in force at the time the investment was made and which was not 
modified by Technical Bulletin Nº 51 that replaced it.

Depreciation is calculated on the updated value of the goods in 

accordance with the years of useful life remaining for each item.

Investments in related companies are valued at their proportional 
equity value. In the case of foreign companies, this methodology has been 
applied on the basis of the financial statements prepared in accordance with 
the norms established in Technical Bulletin Nº 64 of the Chilean College 
of Accountants and intangible values have been adjusted by price-level 
restatement and are amortized according to the norms indicated in 
Technical Bulletin Nº 55 of the Chilean College of Accountants.

In accordance with Official Circular Nº 150 dated January 31, 2003 
and issued by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, as of the 

close of the financial statements for the 2002 period, the company has 
evaluated the recoverability of the assets related to its investments, applying 
the accounting principles generally accepted in Chile which are Technical 
Bulletins Nº 33 for fixed assets and in accordance with the indications of 
Technical Bulletin Nº 56, the company has applied NIC 36 for the positive 
or negative goodwill values of those investments. 

Assets expressed in foreign currency are shown at the exchange rate 

as of the close of the period.    

Investments in financial instruments with repurchase/resale agreements 
are shown at their purchase value plus the proportion of the interest 
calculated on the implicit rate of each operation. 

Accounts and bills receivable from related companies are classified 
according to their short and long-term maturities. The operations are 
adjusted to equal conditions similar to those that are normally applied 
in the market.

In summary, assets are valued according to generally accepted 
accounting principles and norms and to instructions issued on this matter 
by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance explained in Note 2 of 
the Financial Statements.
