17. Debt restructuring process in 1Q2003
In July 2002 Eletropaulo started a process to restructure its debt due to problems of
credit liquidity by trying to establish a balance between maturity dates of obligations
and Eletropaulo’s capacity for generating cash
Approximately R$ 880 million (net of funding) was paid and R$ 1.5 billion was refinanced
Between January and April of 2003 approximately R$ 282 million was paid and R$ 371 million
was renegotiated

short term debt does not reflect the actual schedule for payments maturing because it
includes debts with breach of contractual obligations (financial covenants) and cross-
default.
The amount of consolidated debt re-classified as Short Term with schedule of
amortizations unaltered is R$ 1,922 million.
By schedule of payment maturities, about 40% of total debt will mature in the short
term

24. Tariff Reset
Principle of maintainance of the economic-financial equilibrium of the
concession through:
Annual Readjustment: according to the pre-established formula of the Concession
Contract
Tariff Readjustment Index = VPA + VPB * (IGPM +/- X)
Revenues
Periodic Reset: every four years after privatization, without a pre-established
methodology in the Concession Contract
Extraordinary Resets: When significant changes to cost base of concessions occur,
altering economic-financial equilibrium
Currency devaluation in June 1999
Privatization Reset Reset

Annual Readjustment Annual Readjustment (X factor = 0)

25. Mechanism for Tariff Reset
Distributors have tariffs readjusted annually to pass through non-manageable costs
(Parcel A) and update manageable costs (Parcel B) based on IGP-M.

CVA* was created in 2001 to allow pass through of changes in costs of Parcel A that
occurred between tariff readjustments
Measure MME/MF 116/03, of the 4th of April 2003 postponed, for 12 months, the compensation
of the balance of CVA and this will be compensated over 24 months starting in July 2004

31. Eletropaulo
Eletropaulo is the largest energy distribution company in Latin America
Its concession area includes the Brazilian population with the highest
purchasing power
Since privatization Eletropaulo has presented significant improvements in
operating performance indicators, which resulted in better services for the
population within its concession area
Rationing caused losses of R$ 1,965 million, only partially compensated by
the Sector’s General Agreement
Rationing and closure of financial markets led to maturity concentration in
the short term, the impossibility to renew hedges, and hence, the need to
restructure Eletropaulo’s debt, extending maturity terms and converting
Dollar debts into Reais
The greatest challenges that Eletropaulo faces at this time relate to
regulatory issues, due to the Government’s intervention aimed at reducing
the inflationary effect of tariff resets
Solid and feasible company that seeks to match the maturities of its
loans with its cash generation and mitigate the effects of the instability
of the regulatory scenario
