Independent auditor’s report on financial statements
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A.
Barueri - SP
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Eletropaulo Metropolitana
Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A. (“Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at
December 31, 2015 and the related income statement, statements of comprehensive
income, of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting practices and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to
enable the preparation of these financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on
Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the
Company’s financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting practices used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
1
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A.
as at December 31, 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB).
Other matters
Statement of value added
We have also audited the statement of value added (SVA) for the year ended December 31,
2015, prepared under the responsibility of Company management, the presentation of
which is required by the Brazilian Corporation Law for publicly-held companies, and as
supplementary information under IFRS, whereby SVA presentation is not required. This
statement has been subjected to the same auditing procedures previously described and, in
our opinion, is presented fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the overall financial
statements.
Prior years’ financial statements audited by other independent auditors
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, as originally prepared
before the reclassifications described in Note 2.2, were audited by other independent
auditors, who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on February 9, 2015.
As part of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, we
have also audited the reclassifications described in Note 2.2, which have been made to
restate the 2014 financial statements originally presented. In our opinion, these
reclassifications are appropriate and have been made correctly. We were not engaged to
audit, review or apply any other procedures on the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2014, therefore, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance
on these overall financial statements.

The Company, as mentioned in explanatory note 25, billed for electric energy
distribution services 36,179 GWh and 37,827 GWh for the period ended December
31, 2015 and 2014, serving approximately 6.9 million and 6.7 million consumers
for the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Concession Contract for Electric Power Distribution No. 162/1998, executed
on June 15, 1998 (ANEEL resolution No. 72, of March 25, 1998), shall be effective
for 30 years.
According to the Concession Agreement, the Company is supposed to go through
Tariff Reset processes every four years, first of which took place on July 4, 2003,
and through Tariff Adjustment on an annual basis. The last Tariff Reset took place
on July, 4 2015 (please refer to explanatory note 33.4(b.4)).
Corporate reorganization
On June 3, 2015, the Companhia Brasiliana and AES Tietê SA ("AES Tietê")
published material fact informing the market the corporate reorganization
("Reorganization") involving the Companhia Brasiliana and AES Tietê and the
companies directly or indirectly controlled by them. The proposal of reorganization
was formalized by the Restructuring Agreement signed between AES Holdings
Brasil Ltda. (“AES Holdings Brasil”) and BNDES Participações S.A. (“BNDESPAR”), and subsequently approved by ANEEL, as Authorizing
Resolution N 5.433 as of August 25, 2015, and the Company's Board of Directors
and AES Tiete, through corporate documents, besides to obtaining the consents
from creditors. On October 26, 2015, the Shareholders' Meetings from all
companies involved approved all the reorganization stages, subject to certain
condition precedents that were met on December 28, 2015. Thus, for tax and
corporate effects, on December 31, 2015, the corporate reorganization process
involving the Company and companies directly and indirectly controlled by the
Company was completed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
The Reorganization took place by means of the partial spin-off of Companhia
Brasiliana and merger of the spun-off portion into Companhia Brasiliana
Participações S.A. (“Brasiliana Participações”). Companhia Brasiliana shall hold
directly and exclusively the shareholding control of AES Tietê and Brasiliana
Participações shall hold directly or indirectly the shareholding control of all other
companies (Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo, AES Elpa S.A.,
AES Uruguaiana Empreendimentos S.A. and AES Serviços TC Ltda.). In a
subsequent stage, AES Tietê was acquired by the Company, the latter being the
remnant legal entity, which was renamed as AES Tietê Energia S.A. (“AES Tietê
Energia”).
AES Holdings Brasil and BNDESPAR was entered into a new Brasiliana
Shareholders' Agreement, new controlling shareholder of AES Elpa and, indirectly,
of the Company, which substantially reflects the terms and conditions of the
previous shareholders' agreement of Brasiliana’s company before reorganization.
Thus, the restructuring and the new shareholders' agreement has not implied on a
change in the controlling shareholder of Brasiliana Participações and AES Tietê
Energia, which continued being AES Holdings Brasil. After the restructuring, the
equity interest held by AES Holdings Brasil and BNDESPAR in the total share
capital of both companies, Brasiliana Participações and AEs Tietê Energia,
remaining the same.
Therefore, the corporate reorganization involved, exclusively for the Company, the
replacement of its indirect controlling company, due to the transfer of shares of
Companhia Brasiliana to Brasiliana Participações, not generating any impact on the
presentation of these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
The nature of the principal reclassifications is described below:
(a)
As the new Accounting Manual for the Electrical Sector - "MCSE", issued by
the Brazilian Electrical Energy Agency - ANEEL, became effective on
January 1, 2015, the Company's Management chose to make the presentation
of the income statement in line with this guidance, since it understands that it
more properly portrays its operations. The reclassifications made in order
align the presentation criterion with the best practices of electrical sector
companies were:
(a.1) Financial indicators (DIC/FIC/DMIC/DICRI) classified as “Other Costs”,
previously presented as "Financial expenses", in a total of R$18,245;
(a.2) Electric Energy Services Inspection Charge – TFSEE - classified as
“Deduction to gross revenue”, previously presented as "Operational costs", in
a total of R$15,900.
(b)
The Company reviewed its accounting practices and concluded that the
adjustment of the financial assets subject to indemnification from the
concession, originally presented as "Financial Revenue", in the financial
result, could be better classified in the operating revenue group, together with
further revenues related to its business purpose, since it more properly
reflects its business model of electrical energy distribution and provide a
better presentation as for its equity status and its performance. This
conclusion is supported by the fact that:
(i)
The return of the distribution business, over investment in
infrastructure, is determined by the fair value of the infrastructure plus
the "WACC” rate;
(ii)
Investing in infrastructure is the main activity of its business ands its
management model is supported on controlling construction,
maintenance and operation of such infrastructure;
(iii) The tariff revenues represent both the intangible assets return and a part
of the financial assets return, due to the fact that both accounting assets
are part of the regulatory basis of compensation. And the tariff
revenues are fully recorded as part of the "Net Operating Income";
(iv) Analyses are prepared by third party specialists seeking to calculate
certain performance indicators, such as: Return on Net Equity, Return
on Financial Assets, Return on Operating Assets, Debt Cost and Return
on Total Assets, may have relevant distortions when computed based
on the previously adopted accounting practice;

(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
(v)
The new classification adopted is supported by paragraph 23 of OCPC
05 - Concession Agreement.
The impact of this issue for the year ended December 31, 2014 is a
reclassification of R$55,237 of interest income to operating income.
2.3
Functional currency, translation of balances and transactions in foreign
currency
(a)
Functional and presentation currency
The Financial statements were prepared and presented in Reais (R$), which is the
Company’s functional currency and the same used in the presentation. The
functional currency was determined in accordance with the main economic
environment of the Company’s operation.
(b)
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions, i.e. all those that are not carried out in the functional
currency, are translated at the effective exchange rate on the date of each
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated into
the functional currency of the effective exchange rate at the Financial Statements’
date.
3.
Accounting policies and estimates
The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements
are stated below. Those policies were applied consistently in all years presented.
3.1
Financial assets – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
Financial assets are any assets identified as: cash and cash equivalents, an equity
instrument of another entity, including short-term investments, a contractual right
to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; a contractual right to
exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under
conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity, or a contract that may be
settled by the entity’s equity instruments under certain conditions. The Company's
principal financial assets are described below.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
(a)
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
Include cash, bank accounts and short-term investments that are highly liquid and
bear insignificant risk of change in their market value. Cash and cash equivalents
are stated at cost plus accrued interest, since there was no material difference in
relation to their market value.
Investments which maturity term is set at three months or less on the date of
acquisition are classified as cash equivalents. Those investments with maturities
greater than three months on the date of acquisition are classified as short-term
investments.
Short-term investments are classified as available for sale and measured at fair
value. Interest, monetary and variations are recognized in the income statement
when incurred. The variations stemming from changes in the fair value of these
investments are recognized in a specific equity account, as incurred. Any
provisions for impairment are recorded in the income statement. Gains and losses
recorded in equity are transferred to income statement for the year at the time these
investments turn into cash or when there is evidence of loss on their realization. As
of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no change in fair value.
(b)
Consumers, concessionaires and permittees and other accounts receivable
The Company classifies consumers, concessionaires, permittees and other accounts
receivable as “Loans and receivable” financial instruments. The receivables are
initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently adjusted through
amortization of the principal, interest calculated based on the effective interest rate
method (“amortized cost”). Receivables can be reduced by the allowance for
doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable from consumers, resellers, concessionaires
and permittees include amounts billed and unbilled for electric energy distribution
services, also including the use of the distribution system for free consumers as
energy sold on the spot market Electric Energy Spot Market (CCEE).
(c)
Allowance for doubtful accounts - ADA
The allowance for doubtful accounts (explanatory note 10) is constituted based on
an estimate of probable losses that may be incurred in the collection of receivables
and are stated netting the corresponding asset accounts to which they are related to
(explanatory notes 5, 8 e 9). The criteria currently used by the Company to set up
the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:
(i)
Consumers
 Residential category: consumers with accounts overdue by more than 90 days;
 Commercial category: consumers with accounts overdue by more than 180 days;
 Industrial and rural category, public sector, public lighting public services and
other, overdue for more than 360 days.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
(ii)
Services rendered/agreements
The services rendered are accrued based on credit overdue more than 360 days.
The agreements concerning installment payment with consumers in default “Debt
Confession Term - DCT” are fully accrued regardless of installments not matured,
since at least one invoice is already classified as ADA and is reversed upon the
occurrence of the following events: (i) proportionally to the amount received from
each installment negotiated (ii) when the amount amortized exceeds 30% of the
total negotiated debt and the consumer is compliant, including with other debts,
and the total reversal of value still outstanding.
The allowance for doubtful accounts also includes an individual analysis of
accounts that management considers deemed hardly realizable.
Account write-offs due to losses are made after all administrative collection actions
and comply with the terms and amounts established by Law 9430/1996, with
changes introduced by Article 8 of Law N 13,097/2015.
Receipts of receivables related to accounts receivable already written-off as they
met the loss criteria, are recorded under the “provision/reversal for allowance for
doubtful accounts” – ADA heading.
(d)
Provision for impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are analyzed on an quartelly basis to identify any changes that may
indicate impairment. Assets are considered irrecoverable when there is evidence
that one or more events occurred after their initial recognition, having impacted
their estimated future cash flow on a significant or prolonged way.
(e)
Write-off on financial assets
The Company writes their financial assets off upon expiration of the contractual
rights on such assets’ cash flow, or when substantially all the risks and rewards
underlying this financial asset are transferred to another entity. If the Company
retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, such
financial and a liability is recognized for any amounts received in the transaction.
(f)
Concession contract (financial and intangible assets)
Assets infrastructurerelating to the concession contract are separated between
financial and intangible assets.
Financial assets relating to concession (financial asset and intangible) are
remunerated through the regulatory WACC (weighted average cost of capital), that
consists of interest on investment made, which are included in the tariff charged to
the Company’s consumers and received monthly.
17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
Assets classified as concession’s compensable financial assets represent the
estimated portion of investment realized and will not be amortized until the end of
the concession.The Company has an unconditional right to receive cash or other
financial asset from the Granting Authority in compensation for the reversal of
public sector infrastructure. Financial assets related to the concession agreement
are classified as available for sale and for the years presented were adjusted to fair
value in accordance with the regulatory base asset – RAB calculated at the new
replacement value, criterion used by ANEEL to determine the tariff to be charged.
Also pursuant to technical pronouncement CPC 38, the changes derived from
changes in market conditions (interest rates variations) are recorded in the
shareholders’ equity under other comprehensive income. Since there isn’t an active
market for the trading of such financial asset, the Company determines its fair
value by using the same components of the regulatory remuneration rate set forth
by ANEEL (Regulatory WACC). In case of the Company observing a change in
the regulatory WACC over the tariff-reset periods, that new interest rate is used by
the Company to discount the estimated cash flows to present value. The Company
understands that this methodology is which better reflects the fair value in the view
of the market players, since the return rate set by ANEEL considers not only the
free-risk rates, but also the other risks inherent to the electric energy industry.
Hence, the adjustments derived from the changes to market WACC and the
regulatory WACC are recognized under Shareholders’ Equity. On December 31,
2015 and 2014, there is no balance recorded under other comprehensive results as
the Company concluded that on that date there was no difference between those
rates.
(g)
Financial sector assets and liabilities
On December 10, 2014 was signed the Third Amendment to the Concession
Agreement, for which he was assured that any balance of an asset or financial
liability sector at the end of the concession contract, will be compensated for or
reimbursed by the Company.
Recognition of financial sector assets and liabilities are Intended to neutralize the
economic impacts of the Company, due to the difference between non-manageable
items, called "Parcel A" or other financial components, and those effectively
included in the tariff, every tariff adjustment / revision.
These differences between the actual cost and the cost considered in the tariff
adjustments generate a right as the cost performed is greater than that included in
the tariff, or an obligation, when costs are lower than those included in the tariff.
The differences are considered by ANEEL in the next tariff adjustment, and
became part of the Company's tariff adjustment index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
The balance comprises: (i) the previous cycle (in amortization), representing the
balance approved by ANEEL already included in the tariff and (ii) the cycle in
constitution, which are the differences that will be approved by ANEEL in the next
tariff adjustment. The balance of cycles can be seen in Note No. 34.
On December 9, 2014 by CVM Resolution no. 732, the Accounting
Pronouncements Committee - CPC approved the Technical Guidance OCPC 08,
becoming mandatory prospective recognition of certain financial sector assets or
liabilities by electricity distributors. With addendum of the concession agreements,
the CPC considers there is no significant uncertainty that is an impediment to the
recognition of sectoral financial assets and liabilities as amounts actually receivable
or payable. Thus, the Company recognized from December 10, 2014 the financial
sector assets and liabilities in its statutory financial statements.
3.2
Inventories
Inventories are valued at average cost of acquisition or production. The provisions
for obsolete items are set up when considered necessary by management.
Inventories are intended for own consumption and distribution system
maintenance.
The materials intended for construction of the Company’s infrastructurerelated to
concession are classified as construction in progress.
3.3
Intangible
Assets classified as intangible assets represent the Company’s right to charge
consumers for the use of the public service infrastructure during the contract
concession period.
Intangible assets are recognized at fair value on the acquisition or construction date
and include capitalized financing costs. After initial recognition, intangible assets
are amortized by the straight line method over the period corresponding to the right
to charge consumers for use of concession assets that these generated (useful
regulatory lives of assets) or by the concession contract period, whichever is
shorter.
The Company aggregates, on a monthly basis, interest incurred on loans, financing
and debentures to the infrastructure construction costs recorded in intangible assets
in progress, considering the following capitalization criteria: (a) interest is
capitalized during progress of construction infrastructure; (b) interest is capitalized
considering the average weighted cost of loans effective on the capitalization date;
(c) total interest capitalized on a monthly basis does not exceed the total value of
monthly interest expenses; and (d) capitalized interest is amortized considering the
same criteria and useful lives determined for intangible assets in which they were
incorporated. Capitalized interests for the years ended December 31, 2015 and
2014 are presented in Note 29.

3.4
Property, plant and equipment – financial leasing
Leased items whose control, risks and benefits are substantially exercised by the
Company (financial leasing) are recorded as a Company’s PP&E against current or
non-current liability, as the case maybe. Assets recorded under PP&E are
depreciated or amortized according to the shorter of their estimated economic
useful lives or over the expected lease agreement effective term, whichever is
shorter.
Income from the disposal of an asset is determined by the difference between the
sales value and the book value, net of the respective accumulated depreciation, and
is recognized in the income statement for the year.
3.5
Provision for impairment of non-current or long term assets (non-financial
assets)
Management reviews at least on a quarterly basis the net book value of long term
assets with a view to determining whether there are any events or changes in
economic, operating or technological circumstances that may indicate impairment
loss. If there is any indicator of loss, the Company proceeds with the calculation of
impairment. The Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives for which impairment tests are required on an annual basis.
The recoverable assets are defined as the greater value between the value in use and
the net sales value.
In order to measure the recoverable amount of the asset through its value in use, the
Company uses the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows
(cash-generating unit). The Company’s management considered integrated
distribution network as a single cash generating unit.
An impairment loss shall be recognized in the income statement in the amount that
the carrying amount exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the
asset
3.6
Provisions for legal proceedings and others
The Company is party to various judicial and administrative proceedings.
Provisions are set up for lawsuits for which it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the cash
disbursement can be made. Assessment of the chances of an unfavorable outcome
by the Company’s legal advisors includes evaluation of available evidence, the
hierarchy of the laws, case law available, the most recent court decisions and their
significance in the legal system, as well as the assessment made by external legal
advisors. The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in
the circumstances, such as the applicable statutes of limitation, additional
exposures identified based on new issues and court decisions.

Financial liabilities – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
3.7
As described in Note 33.2, the Company classifies suppliers, loans and financing,
government subsidies, tariff and consumer charges payable, and dividends and
interest on capital payable as financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are
recognized and measured at amortized cost.

extinguished, i.e. when settled, cancelled by the lender or time-barred by statute in
accordance with contractual provisions or legislation in force.
Financial instruments – presentation at net amount
Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet if and only if
there is a current legal and enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and
there is the intention to offset, or concomitantly realize the asset and settle the
liability.
3.8
Embedded derivatives
Embedded derivatives in other financial instruments or agreements, when
applicable, are treated as separate derivatives when their risk and characteristics are
not close related to the main agreements and when these agreements are not
measured at fair value through statement of income. For the years ended December
31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not identify any embedded derivatives in its
contracts.
3.9

municipality.
The taxes reduce sales revenues, which are stated in the statements of income at
their net value. The credits generated from PIS and COFINS non cumulative taxes
over the operating expenses and costs are presented as reduction of these groups in
the financial statements.
3.10 Current and deferred income tax and social contribution
(a)
Current income tax and social contribution
Income tax comprises income tax and social contribution. The current income and
social contribution expense is calculated in accordance with tax law in force.
Income tax is calculated on taxable income at the rate of 15%, plus a surtax of 10%
on taxable income exceeding R$240 a year for the computation of tax, while social
contribution is calculated at 9% of taxable income, both recognized on an accrual
basis. Tax prepayments or recoverable taxes are stated in current and noncurrent
assets, based on forecast of their realization.
Tax prepayments or recoverable taxes are stated in current and noncurrent assets,
based on forecast of their realization, until the end of the year, when the income tax
due is dully calculated and offset with the tax prepayments.
Management periodically reviews the tax position of cases for which ruling tax
legislation requires interpretation and sets up provisions as appropriate.
(b)
Deferred income tax and social contribution
Deferred taxes are generated by temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their book values on the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary tax differences. Deferred
tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, credits and tax
losses not used, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available for
the temporary differences to be realized, and unused tax credits and losses to be
utilized.
The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date, or in
shorter periods where material facts requiring review take place. Reduced at the
extent that it is no longer probable that taxable profit will be generated to allow all
or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Should estimated future taxable
profits indicate that deferred taxes recoverable will not be recovered by due date
and pursuant to the latest term of the concession. This analysis is grounded on
expected future taxable profit determined through a technical analysis approved by
the Company’s Management.
To the extent that it becomes probable that there will be sufficient future taxable
income, the Company recognizes an addition to the deferred tax in proportion to
such profits.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate determined by tax
legislation in effect at the balance sheet date and that is expected to be applicable at
the date of realization of the assets or settlement of the liabilities which generated
the deferred taxes.
Deferred taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are also recognized in
equity. Deferred tax items are recognized in accordance with the transaction that
generated the deferred tax, either in the income statement or in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net only if the deferred taxes are
related to the same taxpayer and subject to the same tax authority, and when there
is a legal or constructive right ensuring the offset of current tax assets against
current tax liabilities.
3.11 Employees benefits
The Company sponsors a retirement and pension plan for its active and former
employees, and their beneficiaries, for the purpose of complementary the
retirement and pension benefits provided by the government.
The pension plan is a defined benefit type plan. The cost of the benefit plan is
determined by the Projected Unit Credit Method, net of assets guaranteeing the
plan assets. The actuarial valuation is based on assumptions (of interest rates,
inflation, benefit increases, life expectancy, etc), the actuarial valuation and
respective assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis at the end of each year, or
in shorter periods where material facts that require new actuarial assessment take
place.
Asset or liability related to defined benefit plans recognized in the financial
statements represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a
discount rate based on Federal Government long-term securities), less the fair value
of plan assets.
The plan assets are held by a closed supplementary pension entity (FUNCESP).
Plan assets are not available to creditors of the Company and may not be paid
directly to the Company. The fair value is based on information on market price
and in the case of listed securities, on the published purchase price. The value of
any defined benefit asset recognized is limited to the sum of any past service cost
not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of reductions in future contributions to the plan by the sponsoring employer.
3.12 Other current and non-current assets and liabilities
Other assets are stated at their acquisition or realization value, when the second is
lower, and other liabilities are stated at known or determinable amounts including,
when applicable, accrued charges and monetary variation incurred.

3.13 Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset or liability should be recorded as current if it is expected to be settled
within the 12 month period following the financial statements base date, otherwise
these are recorded as non-current.
3.14 Present value adjustment of assets and liabilities
Non-current and current monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted to present
value when the effect is considered material in relation to the overall financial
statements.
The implied interest rates applied were based on assumptions and are considered
accounting estimates. At the dates of the financial statements, the Company had no
significant balances resulting from present value adjustments of assets or liabilities.
3.15 Distribution of dividends
Approved dividends payable or grounded on statutory obligations are recorded in
current liabilities.
The Company’s articles of incorporation establish the distribution of mandatory
minimum dividends corresponding to 25% of adjusted net income. Also, in
accordance with the articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors shall resolve
on the payment of interest on shareholder’s equity and interim dividends.
In determining the adjusted net income for distribution of dividends, the realization
of equity valuation adjustment relating to the revaluation reserve recognized in
prior years to the transition date is considered. Accordingly, the increase in
amortization and write off expenses, in connection with the recording of
revaluation recognized in prior years, has a null effect on the calculation of
Company’s dividends.
As such, at year end and after appropriate legal allocations, the Company records
under current liabilities, the equivalent amount to the minimum mandatory
dividend not yet distributed during the year, whilst recording proposed dividends in
excess to the minimum mandatory amount as “additional proposed dividend” in
equity.
The Company can pay interest on shareholder’s equity pursuant to article 9,
paragraph 7 of Law No.9249, dated December 26, 1995, which is deductible for tax
purposes.
The dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity not claimed for three years are
reversed to the Company’s equity under the account “retained earnings and losses”
for new distribution, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law.

3.16 Share-based payments
The AES Corporation maintains a compensation plan to its own employees and for
its direct and indirect subsidiaries, concerning the grant of equity instruments,
which occurs when certain pre-established conditions are met. The stock or stock
options granted by AES Corporation are recorded in the Company at fair value of
the equity instrument, on its granting date.
The cost of equity instrument grant transactions is recognized in the income
statement for the year, matched against a capital reserve in equity under a specific
account that indicates the future commitment of the Company's parent to contribute
the funds needed to support the granting of shares and stock options of AES Corp.
acquired by the employees of the Company. Also in accordance with CPC 10 (R1),
the established capital reserve may be utilized to increase the Company’s capital in
favor of The AES Corporation.
3.17 Revenue recognition
Sales revenue includes only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and
receivable by the Company. Amounts charged on account of third parties - such as
sales taxes - are not economic benefits of the Company, and are therefore not
presented in the statements of income. Revenue is not recognized if there is
significant uncertainty as to its realization.
(a)
Revenues from electricity supply
Electric energy distribution services are measured through the delivery of electric
energy over a set period. This measurement occurs in accordance with a meter
reading schedule established by the Company. The billing for electric energy
distribution services is, therefore, based on this meter reading schedule. Service
revenues are recorded as energy bills are issued. In order to adapt meter readings to
the accrual period the services rendered between the date of the meter reading and
month end are recorded through estimates.
b)
Interest income
Interest income is recognized based on the period of time and effective interest rate
on the outstanding principal amount. The effective interest rate is that from which
is discounted the estimated future cash flow receipts during the useful life of a
financial asset in relation to the initial net book value of that asset.

Construction contracts
Entities included within the scope of ICPC 01 (IFRIC 12) Service Concession
Arrangements should record the construction of or improvements to the infrastructure of a concession in accordance with CPC 17 (IAS11) Construction
Contracts. The costs of infrastructure construction performed by the Company can
be reliably measured. However, revenue and expenses corresponding to these
construction services are recognized based on the proportion of work completed up
to the balance sheet date. Expected losses in construction contracts are immediately
recognized as expenses. Considering the regulatory model in force which does not
establish specific remuneration for the construction of or improvement to
concession infrastructure are substantially performed through specialist outsourced
services, and that all construction revenue is related to the construction of
infrastructure for services of electricity distribution, company’s management
decided to record revenue from construction contracts with a zero profit margin.
3.18 Lease agreements
As described in note 3.4, assets related to lease agreements where risks and benefits
are substantially carried by the Company (financial lease agreements) are recorded
under the Company’s property, plant and equipment matched against a current or
non-current liabilities accounts, on a case by case basis. Interests on capital leasing
are allocated to statements of income in accordance with the duration of the
agreement by the effective interest rate method.
In lease agreements classified as "operating lease" payments are recognized as
expenses in the statement of income on a straight line method over the term of the
lease.
3.19 Earnings per share
The Company calculates earnings per share using the weighted average number of
outstanding common and preferred shares during the period corresponding to the
result, in accordance with accounting pronouncement CPC 41 (IAS 33) - Earnings
per Share.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income for the year by the
weighted average number of outstanding shares.
The Company’s articles of incorporation assign different rights on the dividend to
preferred shares and common shares. As a consequence, base earnings and diluted
earnings per share are calculated by the “two classes” method. The “two classes”
method of an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per preferred
share and per common share in accordance with the declared dividends and rights
to share-in undistributed profits.

3.20 Segment information
Operating segments are defined as business activities which can generate revenues
and incur expenses, the operating results of which are regularly reviewed by the
Company’s chief operations officer for decision-making about funds to be allocated
to the segment and for assessing its performance.
All decisions made by the Company are based on consolidated reports, the services
are provided using an integrated energy distribution network, and operations are
managed on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it has
only one reportable segment, that of the distribution of electric energy.
3.21 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
For the preparation of the financial statements, the Company uses judgment and
estimates, based on available information, as well as adopts assumptions, which
affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosures
of contingent liabilities. Whenever necessary, the judgment and estimates are
supported by opinions prepared by specialists. The Company adopts assumptions
derived from its experience and other factors considered reasonable and significant
under the circumstances. The assumptions adopted by the Company are
periodically reviewed in the ordinary course of business. However, it is important
to note that there are some uncertainty relating to the estimations and assumptions
used by the Company, which can lead to a significant adjustment to the book value
of the asset or liability in future periods as soon as new information becomes
available. An event that requires a change in estimate is treated prospectively.
The main assumptions and estimative used in the preparation of financial
statements are discussed below:
(a)
Retirement and other post employment benefits
The Company has defined benefit plan and also defined contribution plan.
Under a defined contribution plan, the Company has no legal or constructive
obligation to make further payments if the fund does not have sufficient assets to
pay all the benefits. The contributions are recognized as expenses benefits to
emplouees when incurred.
In relation to the defined benefit plan, the Company assesses its liabilities with
supplementary retirement benefits by assessing actuarial rates on an annual basis
and, when necessary, in interim periods, with the help of consultants specializing in
actuarial services. The actuarial valuation involves the use of assumptions on rates
of discount, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, rates of
mortality and future increases of retirement and pension benefits. The defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All
assumptions are reviewed and updated on an annual basis, at the end of the year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
The main assumptions used by the Company are described as follows:
Discount rate
According to Technical Pronouncement CPC 33(R1) – Employees Benefits, the
rate used to discount employee benefits obligation must be determined with
reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds. However, when there is
no deep market in corporate bonds, it is required to use market yields on
government bonds instead.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the rates of
government treasury securities with a maturity matching the length of the defined
benefit obligation.
Mortality rate
The mortality rate is based on mortality tables available in Brazil. FUNCESP tests,
on an annual basis, the adequacy of mortality rate according to the most recent
mortality of plan members.
Salary Increase, benefits and Inflation
Future increases in salaries and in retirement and pension benefits are based on
future inflation rates expected for Brazil. As to the inflation rate used, the Company
carried out a survey on the projection of long-term inflation with the economic
departments of several financial institutions.
Expected return rate on plan assets
With the adoption of Technical Pronouncement CPC 33(R1) – Employees Benefits,
the expected return rate on plan assets will be the discount rate used for discounting
the obligation.
(b)
Amortization of intangible assets related to the concession
Intangible assets are amortized by the straight line method over the period
corresponding to the right to charge consumers for use of concession assets that
these generated (useful regulatory lives of assets) or by the concession contract
period whichever is shorter.
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company used the useful
lives as set forth in ANEEL Resolution 474 of February 07, 2012.
(c)
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described in Note 3.4, items recorded as PP&E are depreciated for the shorter of
their estimated useful economic lives or the lease agreement term.

(d)
Provisions for legal proceedings and others
According to Note 3.6, the Company recognizes a provision for legal proceedings
and others based on the likelihood of loss assessment.
Estimates and assumptions used to record provisions for the Company’s
proceedings and others are reviewed on a quarterly basis.
(e)
Provision for impairment of non-current or long term assets
The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis the existence of events or changes that
may indicate impairment of its current or non-current assets at least on an annual
basis (Note 3.5). The recoverable amount is the higher between fair value less costs
of sales and value in use.
The calculation of fair value less sales costs is based on sales transaction
information available for similar assets or market prices less additional costs to
dispose of the asset.
The calculation of value in use is based on the discounted cash flow using the
regulatory WACC. Cash flows derive from the short-term budget and the long-term
projections, corresponding to concession period and do not include restructuring
activities where the Company is still not fully committed or significant future
investments that will improve the asset base of the cash generating unit being
tested. The recoverable value is sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted
cash flow method, as well as to the expected future cash receipts and the
extrapolated growth rate utilized.
As of December 31, 2015, Management estimates that the carrying amount will be
recovered throughout its future operations.
(f)
Taxes
There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation of complex tax regulations. The
Company sets up provisions based on reasonable estimates, for possible
consequences of audits conducted by tax authorities of the jurisdictions where it
operates, when, likelihood of loss is assessed as probable. The amount of these
provisions is based on several factors such as experience in previous tax audits and
differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the tax
authority in charge. Such differences of interpretation may arise in a wide variety
of matters, depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the
Company.
Significant judgment by management is required to determine the amount of
recognizable deferred tax assets based on the probable term of realization and level
of future taxable profits, along with future tax planning strategies.

Allowance for doubtful accounts
The criteria relating to credit risk analysis to determine the allowance for doubtful
accounts are described in Note 3.1 (c).
(h)
Financial assets relating to the concession
As described in explanatory note 3.1 (f), financial assets relating to the concession
represent the estimated portion of investment made in infrastructure and that will
not be amortized until the end of the concession, thus not being recovered through
tariff during the concession period. The value of this financial asset is calculated
based on the asset base approved by ANEEL. It is important to point out that this is
not a financial asset like the other comparable assets available in the market, but a
derivative asset closely connected to the Company’s existing infrastructure, whose
cash flow susceptible to the variations derived from changes in the regulatory
environment and in the price of commodities related to that infrastructure.
The Company’s tariff review occurs every four years, and only on that date the
Regulatory Remuneration Basis is ratified by ANEEL by way of the depreciated
VNR. Thus, in the period between the dates of tariff review, the Management
adjusts the financial assets by using the criterion set forth by ANEEL for the
adjustment of the Remuneration Basis between the review periods. The Company
applied the IGP-M (Brazilian Market Price Index) up to November 2015 as the
adjustment factor for the Compensation Basis fair value. In December 2015, based
on item 8 and Sub-module 2.3 of PROET - Tariff Regulation Procedures, in effect
as from November 23, 2015, the Company started applying the IPCA (Broad
Consumer Price Index) as its adjustment factor. It should be pointed out that the
criterion defined by ANEEL assigns value to the concessionaire’s infrastructure,
fixed assets, and the value of the financial asset represents a portion of these fixed
assets that is not likely to be depreciated/ amortized by the end of the concession
period. Therefore, that financial asset is closely related to the infrastructure, which
on the other hand has its evaluation criteria set forth by ANEEL. These criteria may
be altered by ANEEL timely.
(i)
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in over-the-counter markets
is determined based on purchase prices quoted in the market at close of business on
the balance sheet date, without deduction of transaction costs.
The fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is
determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques may include
the use of recent market transactions (at arm’s length); reference to current fair
value of other similar instrument; analysis of discounted cash flows or other
valuation models. An analysis of the fair value of financial instruments, and further
details about their calculation are reported in note 33.

estimated fair value of share-based payments requires determining the most
appropriate valuation model for granting equity instruments, which is contingent on
the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the most

(**)
On August 6, 2015, the decision by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) was
published referring to the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADINs) No.
4357 and No. 4425, which sought to challenge the Amendment No. 62 of 2009
whose purpose was to set forth the method of payment for the legal registered
warrants issued until March 25, 2015. Among others, such decision established
the following points:
i) Ratification of all procedures and all operations previously performed to
discharge the registered warrants, with no risk remaining to the creditors as
for the eventual discussion on the validity of receipts occurred between 2009
and March 2015;
ii) Definition of a term ascertained and determined to discharge the
outstanding registered warrants until March 25, 2015 (until January 2020);
iii) In the event of delay of the National Treasury in the transfer of the
amounts required for the payment of the Registered Warrants, the Chairman
of the respective Court of Appeals is compelled to perform the detention of
the necessary money, under penalty of criminal liability.
The Company's Management reassessed the credits arising from the legal
registered warrants with the cities and concluded that the aforementioned decision
ensures the performance of such credits and constituted an account receivable in
the total amount of R$ 26,451, where R$ 6,654 refer to principal (explanatory note
No. 10) and R$ 19,797 refer to interests and inflation adjustment (explanatory note
No. 29) until December 31, 2015. In virtue of the uncertainty with the performance
of registered warrants until the date of decision by STF, such credits had been
written-off for loss.
Consumers choose the due dates of their monthly bills. Overdue amounts incur
0.033% per day and penalty of 2% on overdue customer bills.

On January 28, 2016, the Company submitted for approval of the Board of
Directors and analysis of Fiscal Council the revised technical study of feasibility to
the realization of the fiscal credits.
Estimated recovery of tax credits was based on projections of taxable profits taking
into consideration several financial and business assumptions at year end. As a
result, these estimates may not materialize due to uncertainties inherent in such
process and therefore, they are not to be relied upon in making any investment
decision. The management understands that this estimate was consistent with its
business plan at the time such technical study was conducted, and no losses on the
realization of such credits are expected. No material adjustments arising thereof
have been recorded when compared to previous years.

Characteristics of Company’s concession agreement
On June 15, 1998, the Company and ANEEL signed the concession agreement for
the distribution of electric power No. 162/1998, which regulates conditions to the
operation of electric power distribution public utilities, with the proper technology
and methods that guarantee the rendering of services in the concession area as
established by ANEEL Decree No. 72, dated March 25, 1998. The concession term
is thirty years from signature of the agreement. The concession term may be
extended for an equal term. The Company should make any request within 36
months before the end of the concession and ANEEL must manifest its position in
the 18th month before the termination of that concession. Any extension will be in
the public interest and review of the conditions stipulated in the Concession
Contract under ANEEL’s criteria. The Company’s concession is not onerous
therefore; there are no fixed commitments or payments to be made to the Granting
Authority.
Upon termination of the service concession arrangement, assets and installations
related to electric power distribution will become an integral part of the Federal
Government’s assets, through an indemnification for investments made and not yet
amortized, provided that authorized by ANEEL and computed through regulator’s
own audit.
On June 06, 2005 the First Amendment to the Concession Agreement N 162/1998
– ANEEL was signed between the Company and federal government, whose
purpose was to address the efficiency conditions appearing in paragraph 2 of art. 36
and 43 of Decree No. 5.163, of July 30, 2004, that is related to pass through in
tariff to end consumers.
On May 03, 2010 the Second Amendment to the Concession Agreement N
162/1998 – ANEEL was signed between the Company and federal government,
whose purpose was to change annual tariff adjustment calculation procedures,
aiming at the neutrality of Regulatory Charges of "Parcel A" of the
Concessionaire's Annual Revenue, as the amendments made in the wording of
Clause Seven of the Electrical Energy Distribution Concession Agreement No.
162/1998-ANEEL, entered into on June 15, 1998, set forth in Clause Two in this
Amendment.
On December 10, 2014 was signed the Third Amendment to the Concession
Agreement N 162/1998 – ANEEL between the Company and federal government,
for which he was assured that any balance of an asset or financial liability sector at
the end of the concession contract, will be compensated for or reimbursed by the
Company.
Considering that the conditions set forth in ICPC 01 – Service Concession
Arrangements have been fully met, the Company’s management concluded that its
concession arrangement is within the scope of ICPC 01 and, therefore, concessionrelated assets are divided into financial assets and intangible assets.

The contractual rate is TJLP + 5% p.a. reduced by the equivalent equalization
benefit at 6% p.a. The equalization benefit relates to timely payments and
compliance with the project development schedule, which reduced the
effective rate to 4% p.a considering TJLP on the date of signing the contract,
which was 5% p.a. In October 2015, TJLP increased to 7.0% p.a which
increased the effective tax rate to 5% pa. The surplus of 1.0% p.a the TJLP and
equalization benefit as inflation adjustment difference focuses on the principal
balance.
The main characteristics of the financing agreement obtained with the institution
FINEP are the lower contractual interest rates when compared to market rates and
are closely related to the financing of innovation projects and development. Thus,
the subsidies granted at the same interest rates of that financing is qualified as a
government subsidy.

15.7 Financial Commitments – Covenants
As a way to monitor the Company’s financial situation, creditors involved in
financial agreements use covenants in some debt agreements.
The Company’s Management maintains the follow-up of some financial indexes:
52
ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
(i) Indebtedness ability: measures the level of net indebtedness compared to the
adjusted(*) EBITDA corresponds to the results of the Company’s service of the
last twelve months. As defined in the contracts, that index must be below 3.5
times:
(ii) Ability to pay interest: measures the adjusted(*) EBITDA on financial expenses
of the last 12 months. As defined in the contracts, that index must be above
1.75 times.
On December 31, 2015, these indexes were as follows:
(i)
Net debt/adjusted EBITDA = 3.47 times
(ii)
Adjusted EBITDA /financial expenses = 2.77 times
As described in the debt contracts, non-compliance with the indexes above, for two
consecutive quarters, implies the likelihood of early maturity of the debt. Thus, on
December 31, 2015, the Company was compliant with the terms of the covenants.
The Company also follows up other qualitative covenants, which on December 31,
2015 were met.
(*)

Adjusted EBITDA - means the sum of the last twelve months of (i) operating

Pension plan obligation
The Company sponsors a retirement and pension plan for its active and former
employees, and their beneficiaries. FUNCESP is the entity that administers the
benefit plans sponsored by the Company.
After negotiations with professional category unions, the Company renegotiated
the plan in 1997 to adopt a mixed system, i.e., 70% relate to defined benefit and
30% to defined contribution. This change was intended to solve the actuarial deficit
and also reduce the risk of future deficits.

Funding for defined benefit plan and defined contribution plan is divided equally
among the Company and its employees. Funding rates are revalued, yearically, by
independent actuaries. The cost of the defined contribution portion is based on a
percentage freely chosen by the participant, (from 1% to 100% on 30% base of
their compensation) divided with the Company up to the limit of 5% on a 30% base
of their compensation.
The Settled Proportional Supplementary Benefit - BSPS is guaranteed to the plan
participants who enrolled before the implementation of the new plan of the
privatization of Company. This benefit ensures a proportional supplementary
amount relating to the year of employment prior to the date of the change to the
plan. The benefit is due starting from the date on which the minimum grace years
established by the new plan rules are completed
At the end of 2015, the company carried out the annual actuarial assessment,
performed by independent actuaries, where all assumptions for that date were
reviewed. The plans’ actuarial valuation used the projected unit credit method. The
benefit plan net assets are measured at fair value.

The portion of the deficit amounting to R$ 1,694,926 arises from the difference
in assumptions and methodologies used by the Company to comply with the
requirements of CVM Deliberation No. 695/2012, and those used by the
FUNCESP (the benefit plan administrator) for the purpose of complying with
the Resolutions of the General Supplementary Pension Board, tends to
eliminate that difference over time with the maturity of the plan.
(i) Refers to a debt confession agreement executed on September 30, 1997 and
subsequently amended for the fourth time on June 5, 2014, for refinancing
future installments maturing between April 2014 and March 2016, remaining
unchanged all other provisions including payment term, rate and monthly
interest. The IIb portion refers to the Market value of Eletropaulo’s properties

a)
Labor: there are 4,369 labor claims (4,939 as of December 31, 2014) filed by
former employees and outsourced staff of the Company claiming payment of
overtime, risk and health exposure premium, equal payment for equal work
performed, supplementing retirement benefits among others. The Company's
management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that the current
processes will be completed between 2016 and 2020.
b)
Cruzado economic plan – Tariff adjustment: relates to lawsuits initiated by certain
industrial consumers against the Company, challenging the legality of tariff
increases granted by DNAEE (currently ANEEL) in 1986, during the year in which
a Federal Government economic stabilization plan established that all prices should
be ‘frozen’, from March to November 1986. Suits currently in progress refer solely
to the controversies resulting from difference in calculation of the amount
presented by the parties, with provision of R$ 13,492 (R$ 15,864 as of December
31, 2014). The Company's management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors,
estimates that the current processes will be completed by 2017.
c)
Civil: these are civil claims of general and special nature. Based on the opinion of
its legal advisors, Company’s Management recognizes provisions for contingencies
whose likelihood of unfavorable outcome has been assessed as probable. In
December 31, 2015, these demands relate to a provision of R$ 26,021 (R$ 31,936
as of December 31, 2014). The Company's management, based on the opinion of
its legal advisors, estimates that the current processes will be completed by 2017.
The Company is defendant in general civil legal proceedings involving legal
actions brought by consumers linked to the supply of electric power and
compensatory actions stemming for alleged accidents in the electric network and
general damages. Currently these demands amount to a provision of R$ 12,131 (R$
21,255 as of December 31, 2014).
The civil proceedings of special nature refer to matters stemming from the
Company’s business relationship with other private companies and/ or public
utility concessionaires as well as matters that involve the Regulator, nongovernmental organizations and/ or the Public Prosecutor. Currently these
proceedings amount to a provision of approximately R$ 13,890 (R$ 10,681 as of
December 31, 2014).
d)
Regulatory proceedings
d.1) The Company received an infraction notice No. 0337/TN 2060/2010 on July 14,
2011, by the Sao Paulo State Sanitation and Energy Regulation Agency (ARSESP).
The penalty shown in the infraction notice amounting to R$ 26,761 arises from the
audit at the Company between June 21, 2010 and July 2, 2010. It consisted of a
year technical audit to look into the technical quality of power supply, planning,
engineering, operation and maintenance of networks and substations in 2008, 2009
and part of 2010. On November 7, 2013, in a reconsideration judgment, ARSESP
decided to partially reduce the amount of the penalty imposed to R$16,939. The
Company awaits a decision on the appeal still pending judgment at ANEEL. The
Company’s management, based on its legal advisers’ analyses, decided to set up a
provision R$ 16,939. On November 9, 2015, ANEEL partially accepted the

(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
arguments presented by the Company that, consequently, decreased the penalty
from R$ 16,939 to R$ 15,377. On November 19, 2015, the penalty was settled in
the amount of R$ 21,908, contemplating R$ 15,377 for principal and R$ 6,531 for
inflation adjustment in the period. On December 31, 2015, the Company awaits for
dismissal.
d.2) On April 2, 2012 AES Eletropaulo received an infraction notice (AI No. 008/2012SFF) from the Brazilian Electric Power Regulatory Agency (“ANEEL”) in the
amount of R$ 136,773 relating to the financial audit of its fixed assets which
occurred from December 7, 2010 to February 04, 2011. The notice alleges nonconformities in the regulatory accounting applied by AES Eletropaulo in the fixed
assets, which impacts the Regulatory Asset Base component used by ANEEL to
calculate the tariff charged to customers. Based on an initial assessment of the
notice, the Company’s management decided to set up a provision that monetarily
updated to December 31, 2015 amounted to R$ 20,699 (R$ 18,259 as of December
31, 2014). The Company’s management has submitted a formal response to
ANEEL contesting the non-conformities and fine imposed as of April 18, 2012 and
waits for a decision.
d.3) On December 19, 2012, the Company received an infraction notice (AI No
122/2012-SFF) from the Brazilian Electric Power Regulatory Agency (“ANEEL”)
relating to the financial audit of its remuneration base – Assets in service in the
amount of R$ 126,379. On January 2, 2013, the Company filed an appeal. On
August 24, 2015, the appeal filed to reduce the penalties imposed by the Notice of
Violation, for violations related to the inspection of the Remuneration Base, was
granted at R$ 98,854. The granted amount corresponded to R$ 11,301 (R$ 10,419
on December 31, 2014) and, on September 10, 2015, the payment of the undisputed
amount was made in the amount of R$ 8,939, with the provision granted up to this
date being fully reversed. The remaining amount is being legally discussed (see
explanatory note No. 18.2.28).
d.4) The Company, as part of its compliance and corporate governance procedure, as
well as internal audit program, observed inconsistencies in the assessment of its
SAIDI and SAIFI continuity indexers in the period from 2011 to May 2015,
particularly in relation to the classification of differences characterized as "critical
day", upon the need for reprocessing the continuity indexers and amending the
global SAIDI and SAIFI indexers previously informed to the regulatory agency.

Environmental Proceedings: The environmental bodies of the state of São Paulo
followed up the environmental management activities of some Company’s
properties by means of proprietary administrative proceedings and based on
technical studies lead the Company to record the amounts of demands that are
possible to quantify. On December 31, 2015, these demands respond for the accrual
of R$11,425 (R$12,708 on December 31, 2014). The Company's management,
based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that the current processes will

December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
g.1) Cambuci Complex: Environmental studies were started in 2005 to assess soil and
underground water quality. Subsequent to confirming contamination, studies were
resumed and so was the remediation action. In 2012, after signed the commitment
of sale of the property, with an obligation contract to deliver the area restored. In
2013, new studies were conducted considering the future use of the area, pointing
out the necessary intervention actions for closing the remediation that was be
concluded by 2015. In 2014, different remedy stages were performed, in addition to
new monitoring campaigns in the area which allowed signing the deed of sale of
property, definitely transferring the ownership and possession. Currently, the
Company performs monitoring the groundwater quality requested by CETESB.
g.2) Miguel Yunes: Environmental studies were started in 2009 for assessing the soil
and underground water. After confirming contamination, studies were resumed for
the purpose of identification, and buried domestic waste and rubble were found
(clandestinely arranged prior to the grant date), requiring a breakdown of the
studies with a view at quantification, which was conducted in December 2013, and
confirmed the need for removing the buried waste. In February 2014 the Company
proceeded with the removal and disposal of the soil impacted by the waste
discarded in the area, being completed in the second quarter of 2015. The water and
soil investigation was completed, leaving the underground water quality
monitoring requested by CETESB. The area backfill will be required for leveling
purposes, which shall be carried out in 2016.
g.3) Distribution Transforming Stations - ETD´s: In 2007, the Company started
processes for environmental compliance of works for upgrading and extending
substations. These processes require an environmental survey of the soil and
underwater conditions to be followed up by the State Secretariat of Environment –
SMA pursuant to procedures set out by CETESB. During the survey activities, in
some properties, polluting substances were found in the soil and underground water
requiring the adoption of environmental remedy actions. In 2013 new proceedings
were opened due to the need for extending substations, creating the need for
remedying and/or monitoring. New monitoring steps will occur in 2016.
g.4) Guarapiranga Reservoir
On September 1996, the Public Prosecutor for the State of São Paulo (MP) brought
a pubic civil action against the Company and the Associação Desportiva Cultural
Eletropaulo seeking rehabilitation of supposed environmental damage that had
been caused by the construction of a sports and recreational club on the banks of
the Guarapiranga Reservoir. The action was upheld finding against the Defendant,
severally, who is liable to undertake environmental rehabilitation, as well as the
demolition of all construction in the area classified under the prime category, such
as reforestation indicated in the technical study performed. On August 10, 2012 the
merit decision was judged unfavorable to the Company. In January 2013, the
proceedings returned to the lower court, where the General Attorneys’ Office
requested that the decision be complied with.
Subsequent to the court decision the Company clarified that it intended to serve the
alternative sentence by means of donation to the State of São Paulo of a green area
in a wellhead area. Likewise, it requested that EMAE, in its capacity as owner of

the real estate, be summoned to join the proceedings so that the portion of the court
decision that ordered demolitions, regularizations and planting in the area occupied
by the Eletropaulo’s Sports and Cultural Association would be complied with.
The Secretariat of Environment (SMA) notified the court and the Company stating
that it would not accept donation of green area in the surrounding fountainheads as
offered by the Company, since it would result in the State to incur additional
infrastructure installation and maintenance costs (“donation with charges for
State”). Considering this, the Company initiated negotiations with the SMA in
order to comply with the judgment by implementing an environmental project in
the area. On December 31, 2015, the Company has an accrual for compliance with
the estimable parts of this demand in a total of R$2,885.
h)
PIS/COFINS on financial revenue: The Company judicially discusses the effects of
the Decree No. 8.426/2015, providing for the PIS/COFINS taxation on financial
revenue as from July 1, 2015 and until the decision of merit on the action is
rendered. While there is no decision authorizing the non-enforcement of new rules
from the Decree, the Company is making judicial deposits in the amounts
corresponding to the taxes levying upon the financial revenue. The Company
recorded a provision that, adjusted until December 31, 2015, corresponds to R$
20,231 and performed judicial deposits in the amount of R$ 23,119. With regard to
the merits of the case, the Management, together with its legal advisors, rates it as
possible. However, with regard to the cash disbursement, the Company estimates
it’s likely that payments referring to this action may be made before the discussion
of the merits. Thus, the Company made a provision for the said amount. The
Company's Management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that
such procedure shall be completed by 2023.
18.2 Proceedings with probability classified as possible
Following is a summary of major contingent liabilities which likelihood of loss was
classified by management as possible. The Company is involved in other suits for
which the chances of loss assessed are possible, however they were not disclosed
since the Company has set forth the amount of R$ 10,000 for the purpose of
disclosing the provisions for the likeliness of possible loss.
Assessment of this probability is based upon on reports prepared by the Company’s
legal counsel.

(18.2.1) Eletrobrás - Loan Agreement ECF-1046/1986
In November 1986, Eletropaulo Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (Governmentowned Eletropaulo) entered into a Loan Agreement ECF No. 1046/1986 with
Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (Eletrobrás).
Considering the questioning regarding the yearicity of monetary adjustment on the
borrowed amount and the failure to reach an agreement with Eletrobrás, in
December 1988, Government-owned Eletropaulo filed a proceeding for payment in
court against Eletrobrás.
In filing the aforementioned claim, government-owned Eletropaulo made an
escrow deposit at the amount corresponding to the debt balance, i.e., principal plus
annual monetary adjustment.
After filing a defense against the proceeding for payment in court, in April 1989
Eletrobrás filed a suit for collection with the 5th Civil Court in the City of Rio de
Janeiro (5th Civil Court), grounding its request for collection by alleging that the
amounts deposited in connection with the proceeding for payment in court were not
consistent with the terms of Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86, which provided for,
based on Eletrobrás understanding, monetary adjustment on the principal on a
monthly basis rather than annually as asserted by government-owned Eletropaulo.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
In the course of both suits, a Spin-Off Protocol was executed on December 22,
1997, whereby government-owned Eletropaulo was spun-off in four companies:
current Eletropaulo Metropolitana – Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (Company),
Bandeirante Energia S.A. (Bandeirante), Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e
Energia S.A. (EMAE) and Empresa Paulista de Transmissão de Energia S.A.
(EPTE), the latter company being thereafter merged into Companhia de
Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (CTEEP).
In April 1999, the 5th Civil Court (lower court) handed down a decision in favor of
Eletrobrás on both the suit for collection and the proceeding for payment in court.
The Court acknowledged, in connection with the former suit, that the principal of
the Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86 should be monetarily adjusted on a monthly
basis and, in connection with the second suit, that the amount deposited by
government-owned Eletropaulo was not consistent with the terms of the
aforementioned Loan Agreement.
In September 2001, Eletrobrás initiated execution proceedings also with the 5th
Civil Court, and, based on its interpretation on the terms of the Protocol for the
Spin-off of government-owned Eletropaulo, demanded from Eletropaulo
Metropolitana and from CTEEP the payment of proportional amounts recognized
by these companies as liabilities, (90.11%) and (9.89%) respectively.
Accordingly, CTEEP was required to pay an amount corresponding to the payment
in court (principal of the Loan Agreement plus annual monetary variation) and the
Company was required to pay an amount of R$ 1,787,659 updated to December, 31
2015 (R$ 1,554,811 as of December 31, 2014), representing the difference between
annual monetary variation and monthly monetary variation under the Loan
Agreement.
In November 2002, the 5th Civil Court (lower court) dismissed the Company’s
allegations and maintained it as a party to the suit. This decision was challenged
before the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice (TJRJ).
In September 2003, the TJRJ accepted all the allegations made by the Company
and ultimately acknowledged based on the Protocol for the Spin-off of
government-owned Eletropaulo that the company was not be held liable for settling
Loan Agreement 1046/86 since the related liability would have been transferred to
EPTE, a company merged into CTEEP.
In view of this unfavorable decision, Eletrobrás, in December 2003, and CTEEP in
March 2004, filed appeals with the Brazilian High Court of Justice (STJ) and with
the STF seeking a reversal of the TJRJ decision.
Without considering the merits of the case or the provisions of the Loan
Agreement, in June 2006, STJ reversed the decision that exempted the Company
from any liabilities for the amounts under dispute and, more importantly, that
dismissed it as a party to the litigation. The STJ understands that the litigation
among the parties requires the matters to be analyzed through a proceeding other
than the formal objection filed, and that the case should, therefore, be returned to

(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
the lower court (5th Civil Court) for a detailed analysis of the matters involving the
three entities (Company, CTEEP and Eletrobrás), the Loan Agreement and the
Protocol for the Spin-off of government-owned Eletropaulo.
Against this decision: in December 2006 – “motion for clarification of the
decision”; in April 2007 – “motion for resolution of conflicting decisions”, and
“extraordinary appeal”. None of the appeals were favorable to the Company.
As all necessary legal measures had been presented to the STJ and STF and with no
further measure necessary the proceedings were returned to the lower court (5th
Civil Court).
Additionally, in February 2008, CTEEP filed an ordinary suit against the Company
and Eletrobrás before the 5th Civil Court seeking a decision that acknowledges
CTEEP as not liable for the payment of any amounts claimed by Eletrobrás in
connection with the suits involving the Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86. In
September 2008, the Company filed its defense, and such claim is currently
suspended for purposes of analyzing issues referring to the correct venue of
judgment of the case.
On April 17, 2009, based on the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (CPCB),
Eletrobrás requested that the legal proceedings regarding the “Settlement of the
Decision by Arbitration” before the 5th Civil Court be initiated. Such proceeding
aims at receiving the challenged debt amount through work to be performed by a
legal expert.
On May 26, 2009, the Company agreed with the computation of amounts through
calculations for execution of decision, but it pointed out that, in this proceeding, the
most appropriate way to determine amounts would be the execution based on parts
of the judgment rather than based on arbitration, as suggested by Eletrobrás, to the
extent that several items of the Government-owned Eletropaulo’s Spin-off Protocol
should be analyzed in full, since they were not complied with by the 1999 decision,
in particular any and all matters relating to which of the spun-off companies
(Company and/ or CTEEP) should be held responsible the for payment.
On February 25, 2010, the 5th Civil Court accepted the request for settlement of
decision through arbitration given that under the terms of the aforementioned
decision the Company presented a motions for clarification of the decision to the
5th Civil Court alleging that the Settlement of the Decision should be made through
Articles, while Eletrobrás filed an objection to the appointment of the expert, both
dismissed by the 5th Civil Court on March 4th, 2010.

Following the dismissal of the appeal, on March 31, 2010, the Company filed an
interlocutory appeal with the TJRJ, which was accepted on April 15, 2010, to
determine the full taking of evidence on the facts that support the liability for
payment of the debt, it being decided that the settlement decision should be
processed in terms of Articles, as requested by the Company.
On April 28, 2010, Eletrobrás filed an appeal with the TJRJ seeking
acknowledgment of refutation of the expert, which appeal was dismissed by the
TJRJ on May 14, 2010, due to the decision that accepted the appeal filed by the
Company. This is due to the fact that the Settlement of Decision procedure should
be reinitiated at the 5th Civil Court.
On March 2011, the Company was acknowledged that, on December 6, 2010,
Eletrobrás would requested to start a settlement process and that, for this reason,
the process was submitted to the 5th Civil Court.
In July 2011, the 5th Civil Court determined that the Company and CTEEP were to
produce their answers to the request for the judicial award based on secondary
elements added to case records, which was produced by the Company on August
10, 2011 and by CTEEP on July 26, 2011.
In December 2012, a decision was announced at the municipal level, with the early
judgment of the liquidation holding the Company responsible for the payment of
the balance of the monetary correction concerning the financing agreement ECF
1046/1986, executed with Eletrobrás. That decision did not consider the order for
carrying out the liquidation procedure of the sentence with broad evidence taking
by the Higher Court of Justice (STJ) and the Justice Court of the State of Rio de
Janeiro (TJRJ), in addition to not considering the request for evidence taking by the
parties.
Against the aforementioned decision, on January 7, 2013, the Company filed an
appeal with the Justice Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro, requesting the
immediate motion to stay execution, and the subsequent annulment of the decision,
to determine that broad evidence be produced, including expert evidence.
On January 21, 2013 the injunction granted by the Appeals Court Judge, of the
Justice Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro became public (“Injunction”), accepting
the preliminary request of the appeal filed by the Company against the decision
issued on December 12, 2012, by the 5th District Court of Rio de Janeiro in
proceeding No 0010021-19.1989.8.19.0001. With the grant of the Injunction, the
municipal decision is suspended, and awaits a decision concerning the appeal filed
by the Company.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
On February 07, 2013, the District Court of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) granted a
favorable decision to the Company, which fully annulled the first instance decision
which held the Company responsible for the payment of the debt. Eletrobrás and
CTEEP have not filed any appeal against that decision.
Therefore, the case shall be resumed in the first instance State Court, continuing
with the analysis of technical and legal issues involved in the dispute, as well as for
an accounting expert appraisal. On February 20, 2014, a court expert was
appointed, and the parties summoned were requested to produce their requirements
and appoint a technical assistant, and the Company did so in March 2014. On
March 28, 2014, CTEEP appointed its technical assistant and presented its
questions to be responded by a court expert. On September 6, 2014, the court
expert filed a petition accepting the appointment and the fees proposed (which
should be deposited by Eletrobrás). On October 23, 2014, considering that all
parties agreed to the proposal of court expert fees, the judge ordered that the
amount be deposited, to be done by Eletrobras in a court account in order to start
the court expert evidence. On November 24, 2014, Eletrobrás filed a complaint
confirming the deposit of the amount of expert fees. On November 27, 2014, the
accounting expert took the case to start the work. The expert’s work started
February 2015.
On September 17, 2015, the accounting expert report, while recognizing the
technical premises defended by the Company, issued an opinion in the sense that
the liability for the payment of the loan balance adjustment deficiency would stay
with the Company. With regard to the report, the Company presented, on
September 30, 2015, its technical opinion, as well as submitting new questions to
the legal expert. The judge shall decide whether the expert shall answer the
supplementary requirements of the Company. In case the judge determines that the
expert should answer the supplementary questions, the expert has the prerogative of
amending the conclusion of the previous report. After such step, the judge, at
his/her discretion, may designate any hearing to question the witnesses, the expert
and the respective technical assistants of the parties. After the production of all the
evidence, the judge shall render the decision of merits declaring the party liable for
paying the debt.
Upon conclusion of the legal proceeding on the Settlement of Decision Eletrobrás
may reinitiate the execution proceeding against the Company. Should this fact
occurs, in order for the Company to defend itself, a collateral should be given under
the terms of the Brazilian Civil Code.
Also in accordance with the Brazilian Civil Code, Eletrobrás should be entitled to
request to the court the release of the collateral provided by the Company even
before the final decision. In the event Eletrobrás request is granted, the Company
may have to make a cash disbursement and record a negative impact on its income
since the aforementioned disbursement may be considered as a contingent asset
due to the likelihood of its recovery on final decision in the case.
Management’s assessment of loss remains unchanged, and classified as possible.

(18.2.2) Consumer classification – public civil action
A Public Civil Action was filed by the Federal Public Prosecutors’ Office and ProTeste on June 1st, 2005 against the Company and ANEEL claiming the
classification under the low-income category of the consumer units included in
social housing projects. The request for injunctive relief to determine the
immediate classification of the aforementioned consumers in the low-income
category was rejected and the decision was subject to an appeal filed by Pro-Teste
with the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region which upheld the decision. In
October 2008 the injunction was deemed as without grounds. Following the
unfavorable decision the plaintiffs filed appeals with the Federal Regional Court of
the Third Region. The amount involved in the action cannot be estimated as it
refers to a public civil action and, in the event of overturn of the decision favorable
to the Company, consumers may individually request enforcement of the decision
and the benefits arising there from. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed
down, the Company will be required to pay amounts, which, in light of the current
progress of the action, are not likely to be quantified.
(18.2.3) Tariff Reset – exclusion of bilateral contract amounts
The Federal Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a public civil action on December 5th,
2003 against the Company and ANEEL seeking the ruling out of the amounts
under the agreement entered into between the Company and AES Tietê in the
composition of tariffs, as well as the refund of consumers for tariffs allegedly
overcharged in 2003. The amount of the action was R$ 553 on September 30, 2007.
The action was rejected and an interlocutory appeal was filed with the Federal
Regional Court of the Third Region, which was dismissed. After presentation of
the refutations and subsequent rebuttals, the action was deemed as without grounds.
In March 2012, the appeal filed by the Federal Prosecutors’ Office was accepted,
indicating that the proceeding should go through examination by experts to
determine whether there had been excessive onus on Company’s consumers, and
the Company presented a request for clarification against that decision, which was
rejected in June 2012. On July 3rd, 2012 the company filed for an appeal with STJ
and STF against the decision that reversed the sentence of groundlessness of the
suit. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be
required to pay amounts, which, in light of the current progress in the action, are
not likely to be quantified. In this case, any potential payment due to any ruling
against the Company should be requested by the allegedly aggrieved parties.
(18.2.4) Tariff Reset – tax benefit
On November 16, 2004, a legal proceeding was filed due to analysis of the 2003
Tariff Reset, and the Federal Court of Auditors handed down an opinion
unfavorable to ANEEL and the Company, where it has asserted that the Company
would have inadequately taken advantage from the benefits generated by payment
of interest on shareholder’s equity in the composition of tariff amounts. In light of

these allegations, the Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a civil class action against the
Company and ANEEL, seeking the acknowledgment and subsequent cancellation
of the unduly generated benefit as well as the refund of amounts allegedly
overcharged to consumers. After the submission of defense by the parties and the
closing of the evidence taking phase, the proceeding was decided in favor of the
Company at the lower courts. It was ruled that there was no undue benefit on the
Company’s behalf. The Company is awaiting a court decision as to the appeal filed
by the Federal General Attorney’s Office. In the event an unfavorable decision is
handed down, the Company will be required to pay amount, which, in light of the
current progress in the case, are not likely to be quantified.
(18.2.5) ADA regulator assessment – allowance for doubtful accounts
Two tax assessment notices were filed against Eletropaulo by ANEEL (on May 4th,
2000 – AI No 015/TN170 and April 5th, 2001- AI 027/TN0336/1) as a result of
inclusion of credits against the Government in the ADA – Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. The Company filed two writs of mandamus against these tax
assessments. Both injunctions were dismissed, given that all reasonable measures
were presented in the lower courts and based on the last calculation adopted by
ANEEL the amount of these assessments totals R$ 63,444 updated to December
31, 2015 (R$ 55,408 as of December 31, 2014).
AI 015/TN170:
On July 4th, 2012 an unfavorable decision was handed down to the appeal filed by
the Company in the writ of mandamus, with a new review appeal being filed on
July 6th, 2012 an appeal that was dismissed. On August 23, 2013, the Company
brought a Special Appeal to the Higher Court of Justice (STJ) and an Extraordinary
Appeal to the Federal Supreme Court (STF). On September 10, 2013, the Company
filed two Precautionary Measures with request for injunction, with the Federal
Regional Court of the First Region (TRF1), with a view at dismissing the liability
of the fine imposed by ANEEL until the final adjucation of the appeals, both by the
STJ and the STF. On September 17, 2013, the TRF1 granted the dismissal
requested by the Company. According to the adjustments made on the basis of the
adjustment criteria adopted by ANEEL, that fine amounts to R$ 15,327, adjusted
until December 31, 2015 (R$ 13,386 on December 31, 2014).
AI 027/TN0336/1:
On August 27, 2013, the appeal filed by the Company against the unfavorable
decision by the lower court in February 2002 was granted, by the Federal Regional
Court of the 1st Region (TRF1), canceling the fine imposed by ANEEL. Against the
favorable decision to the Company, ANEEL filed an appeal at TRF1 addressed to
STJ. The judgment of admissibility of the appeal at TRF1 is pending. Based on the
adjustments made according to the adjustment criteria adopted by ANEEL that fine
amounts to R$ 48,117 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 42,022 as of December
31, 2014).

On January 26, 2006, Mr. Maruzan Conrado Oliveira, filed a popular action against
the Company, SABESP, the Taboão da Serra Municipal Government and Mr.
Fernando Fernandes Filho, seeking the annulment of an Acknowledgement of Debt
agreement signed by the co-defendants as well as indemnification for damages
allegedly caused to national treasury. On April 8, 2014, the Company was awarded
a favorable decision, which deemed the action unfounded and recognized that there
had been no breach of the debt confession agreement, or irregular installment
payment as provided under that agreement between the Company and the Local
Administration of Taboão da Serra in 2004. The judgment for the defendant was
submitted to required review and, on December 02, 2015, the trial was held, in
which the judgment was upheld in favor of the Company. In the event that an
unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay R$
34,341 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 28,648 as of December 31, 2014).
(18.2.7) Ecovias – use of land
On August 28, 2003, Concessionária Ecovias dos Imigrantes S/A. filed a lawsuit
against Eletropaulo, seeking to validate the collection of a public price for use of
the land where the light poles are installed along the rights of way in the highways
managed by Ecovias, and also to issue authorization for light pole installation.
Ecovias had a partial favorable decision in the STJ as of March 16, 2012 for which
the Company filed an appeal, on March 22, 2012. ABRADEE (Brazilian
Association of Electric Energy Utilities) requested its inclusion in the proceeding
as interest’s party. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the
Company will be required to pay amount, which, in light of the current progress in
the case, are not likely to be quantified.
(18.2.8) Public civil action - City Boaçava
The City Boaçava District Residents Association (Associação de Moradores do
Bairro de City Boaçava) filed a Public Civil Action aiming at preventing the
reinforcement of LTA Pirituba-Bandeirante 3-4 transmission line, based on the
allegation that the radiation generated by electromagnetic fields has harmful effects
on individuals living close to the transmission line. The decision was partially
favorable. An appeal was filed against that decision which was unfavorable to the
Company. In light of the constitutional matters contained in the decision an
extraordinary appeal was filed with the STF and is pending judgment. On March 3,
2011, due to a request presented by Company, STF suspended the effects of the
decision of São Paulo State Law Courts until final decision about the merit of the
injunction. In June 2011 ANEEL requested its inclusion in the proceeding as an
“amicus curiae”. In September 2011 the Federal Higher Court has recognized that
the matter discussed on the appeal lodged by the company is “Repercussão Geral”
(Public Interest), by the Minister speaking for the Federal Supreme Court on the
case called a public hearing to listen to the testimony of people with expertise and
experience on the matter regarding the electro-magnetic field of electric power
transmission lines. A Public Hearing was held on March 6, 7 and 8, 2013, with 21
participants provided clarification to the Federal Higher Court on several subjects

given that the electromagnetic fields generated by the transmission lines comply
with the Brazilian legislation and the international limits recommended by the
World Health Organization (which adopts the guidelines of ICNIRP).
The appeal is pending decision by the Federal Higher Court. In the event an
unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay
amounts which, in light of the current progress of the case, are not likely to be
quantified.
(18.2.9) Public civil action - ETD panorama
The Cidade Jardim Residents Association (Associação de Moradores Sociedade
Amigos da Cidade Jardim) filed a Public Civil Action aiming at preventing the
construction of ETD Panorama. After deferring the injunction ordering the
stoppage of work, the Company, through appeal, obtained an order determining the
continuity of the works, which, in December 2015, was upheld in an unappealable
ruling declining to hear the Special Appeal which would be judged by STJ
(Superior Court of Justice), making the court order granting the possibility of
building the said ETD definite. On merit, the lawsuit was dismissed and motions
for clarification were filed by the opposing party, which were rejected. Currently,
the trial for the appeal filed by Sociedade is pending. Considering the confirmation
of refusal of the injunction filed by the Sociedade Amigos da Cidade Jardim, the
lawsuit prognosis was changed to remote.
(18.2.10) Public civil action – suspension of supply
The Legal Aid Department and the Consumer Rights Association of the
Municipality of Santo André, on January 06, 2006, filed a Public Civil Action
against the Company seeking to (1) prevent the interruption of supply of electric
power to consumers in that municipality due to allegations of fraud in metering
facilities, (2) a declaration to annul the terms of Debt Acknowledgement
Agreements entered into with the Santo André residents, with the subsequent
refund of 2 times the amount unduly received, as well as (3) in case of verification
of fraud, the Company is required to indicate the source and materiality of any
fraud and stipulate the objective criteria for its determination. On September 22,
2010 a partially favorable decision was handed down by the lower courts After the
parties had filed appeals, in November 2012, the Court of Appeals of the State São
Paulo issued a decision granting the appeal by the Company, and denying the
appeal by the Plaintiff. The Company filed for a Special Appeal and Extraordinary
Appeal against the aforementioned decision on April 4th, 2013. In case of
unfavorable decision to the Company is handed down, the estimated amount of R$

(18.2.11) Public civil action – overdue - 90 days
On April 15, 2005, the Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a Public Civil Action
against the Company seeking to (1) define the prescriptive year for the collection of
amounts relating to consumer accounts overdue by ninety days, in accordance with
the Consumer Defense Code (CDC), (2) also in accordance with the CDC, the
refund by two times the amount incorrectly charged from consumers that signed
acknowledgement of debt agreements fully or partially composed of third party
debts (former owners, tenants, or occupiers), and finally, (3) that ANEEL
supervises the compliance with the Company’s decisions. A partially well founded
ruling was awarded by the trial court, and the Company filed an appeal before the
3rd Region of the Federal Court against the decision on merits at the trial court,
which ordered the refund of the amounts wrongly collected from consumers who
signed TCDs regarding third parties’ debts. The Company awaits judgment.
As regards compliance with the part of the sentence that determines the
identification of consumers eventually affected by the decisions and the
quantification of the amount involved in the court claim, on September 9, 2014, a
decision was awarded terminating the temporary execution requested by the
Federal Prosecution in order to identify the consumers who signed Debt Confession
Terms (TCDs). On June 15, 2015, the Motion for Clarification filed by the Federal
Prosecution Service was partially granted by the trial court and determined that the
judgment had been partially executed (identification, by the Company, of the
TCD’s declared void) and R$ 10 daily fine is invalid, because the MPF itself had
agreed to postpone the deadline for provisional execution. Pursuant to the survey
concluded in the provisional performance, 3,211 TCDs were identified, relating to
consumers failing to assume the liability for third party debits, in the total amount
of R$ 6,430. On September 11, 2015, the Sixth Class of TRF - 3rd Region rejected
the appeal filed by the Company and ANEEL and granted the appeal filed by MPF
in order to increase the adverse judgment for double reimbursement of the amount
that had been wrongly collected from consumers executing the admission of debt
partially or fully comprised of third party debits. On September 29, 2015, the
Company presented the Motion for Clarification to TRF 3rd Region and, after its
judgment, it shall file an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. The office in
charge shall maintain the probability of loss as possible for such case.
Should an unfavorable decision supervenes, the Company will have an impact on
its operations, and will have to disburse amounts, which, given the current claim
status, are not subject to quantification.

(18.2.12) Payment of FGTS - government severance indemnity fund for employees
It refers to three notices related to the year from January 1993 to September 1998,
issued on November 1998 amount by Caixa Econômica Federal, in connection with
an alleged failure to pay FGTS amount of R$ 85,205 updated to December 31,
2015 (R$ 112,902 as of December 31, 2014). After the allegations made by the
Company, in March 2007 there was an unfavorable decision at the administrative
level and the consequent inclusion of that debt in the Overdue Federal Liabilities.
In view of that, since the Company understands that the intended collection is
unfounded, it filed for a Writ of Prevention to, upon the presentation of a Guarantee
Letter, suspend the debit until the merit of the dispute is judged. In September
2014, the decision of the trial court was awarded, judging the request partially well
founded (debt charged off by R$ 15,458). Appeal filed, which is pending judgment.
(18.2.13) PASEP – Suspension of collection
In November 2006, the Company filed a writ of prevention with a view to
suspending collection of presumed PASEP debts related for the period from
January 1985 to June 1988, in the amount of R$ 40,373 updated to December 31,
2015 (R$ 39,722 as of December 31, 2014),which was granted by presenting bank
guarantee. The collection is based on the fact that by instituting the Law Decree
No. 2052/1983, the Company would have to fall within and be subordinated to the
standards applicable to PASEP, but not to PIS. In view of the unfavorable decision
at the municipal level, the Company filed an appeal, which still awaits judgment.
(18.2.14) NFLDs – tax collection proceedings
These refer to tax collection proceedings filed by the Brazilian Institute of Social
Security (INSS) seeking collection of alleged tax credits not paid for purposes of
social security payments totaling R$ 32,408 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$
31,384 as of December 31, 2014). In summary, the discussions concern the
possible levy of Social Security taxes on different non- compensatory monies. Two
Tax Foreclosures had unfavorable decisions at the lower court, and at this time we
await a decision by the court of appeals. As to the third foreclosure we await a
decision by the lower court.
(18.2.15) Social Contribution Tax Loss Carry forward
In November 2007, Company filed a Declaratory Action with a view at ruling out
the application of MP 2158/2001, which determined that companies derived from
spin-offs can only use CSLL credits on the exact proportion of the spun-off
company net equity. The Company does not agree with that rule, since it wants the
proportion defined in the spin-off protocol, which is prior to the aforementioned
MP to prevail. The difference between the credit balance percentages amounts to
R$ 130,463 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 123,045 as of December 31, 2014).
In March 2007, the trial decision was rendered in favor of the Company's interests.
In September 2015, the appellate decision was rendered, denying the appeal filed
by the Federal Government. In October 2015, the Federal Government filed for
Motions for Clarifications, which are currently pending trial. Currently, the

eventual filing of special appeal by the Government is pending. Despite of that
decision that suspends the demand of the debit, in September 2010, the Federal
Revenue Office drew up a Notice of Infraction and issued a final order in face of
the Company’s demand that CSLL amounts be compensated in the 3 rd and 4th
quarters of 2005 and in 2006 and 2007. In July 2012, an unfavorable decision by
the lower court was issued against the Company. A Voluntary Appeal was filed
with a partially favorable decision for the Company. In December 2014, a partially
favorable decision cancelling the separate fine collection (R$ 22,328 in historical
amounts) was maintained, maintaining the updating as for the principal, ex-officio
fine and SELIC (R$ 65,122 - in historical amounts). Since there is no more
possibility for administrative appeal, the unfavorable part of the notice of violation
remains under discussion in the common share, which prognosis remains unaltered.
(18.2.16) Municipal tax foreclosures - sundry
The Company has several Tax Foreclosures filed by Municipalities in its
concession area, demanding basically IPTU debts (property taxes), fines and ISS.
The total debts classified as potential loss amount to R$ 108,122 updated to
December 31, 2015 (R$ 88,300 as of December 31, 2014). The greatest part of that
amount (R$ 86,786) refer to seven Tax Foreclosures of the municipalities of
Itapevi and Jandira, where fines are required due to failure to produce technical
opinions for each assets deployed in the municipality. These discussions are based
on legislations that regulate the use of urban soil, and not on the relevant municipal
aspects, and since they are not of the same nature as the other fines, they were
being analyzed individually, and are not included in the amounts of this item.
(18.2.17) PIS – Decree Law 2445/1988 and 2449/1988
In July 2000, the Company filed a Judicial Lawsuit with an aim at the recognition
of PIS credits derived from the overpayment made when the aforementioned
Decrees were in force, and that had been ruled as unconstitutional by the Higher
Court of Justice - STF. In May 2012, the Company was granted a final favorable
decision recognizing the right to the aforementioned credit. However, five (5)
Tax Foreclosures with a view at collecting the debits compensated by the
Company in 2002 are still in progress. Since these debits were offset with credits
already recognized by the aforementioned final decisions, a potential exposure of
the Company is restricted to an arrears fine of 20% applicable to the debts
compensated, which amount to R$ 49,394. The amount is not subject to adjustment
given that it concerns only a default fine of 20%, applied on the offset PIS debits.
(18.2.18) PIS – Statute of limitations
Addresses the Tax Foreclosure with a view at collecting alleged PIS debits in the
amount of R$ 221,294 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 214,146 as of December
31, 2014) arising from the enforcement of the Standards imposed by MP
1407/1996. In opposition to that collection, the Company filed defense, asserting
loss of right by the Tax Administration to demand these amounts based on the time
elapsed between the taxable event and the due constitution of the tax debit, which
was delayed by 5 years. Unfavorable decisions rendered by trial and appellate
courts. In May 2015, motions for clarification were filed, Which were not

(18.2.19) Public Civil Action – Reestablishment of Electric Power
On June 22, 2011, São Paulo State and the Bureau of Consumer Protection
(PROCON) filed a Public Civil Action against the Company, before São Paulo
State Justice, based on the suspended power supply from June 7 to June 9, 2011,
when the city of São Paulo was hit by an extratropical cyclone, aggravated by
heavy rain. After receiving formal notification of the suit and the preliminary
decision awarded, the Company filed an appeal before the Higher Court of Justice,
which determined that TJSP decision was to be suspended. Against such decision,
PROCON filed an appeal which is still pending judgment. The Company will
produce its defense in October 2011, and the suit was forwarded to the Federal
Court after ANEEL entry into the proceeding was admitted, where judgment is
awaited. On March 20, 2014, the action was partially granted in the lower court,
condemning the Company to the payment of collective moral damages in the
amount of R$ 2,000, to be reverted to the Diffuse Rights Protection Fund. The
Company and ANEEL shall file for an appeal in order to dismiss such court
decision. Should an unfavorable decision supervenes, the Company will have
disburse amount R$ 3,798, updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 3,009 as of
December 31, 2014).
(18.2.20) FINSOCIAL
In July 2012 the Company was notified of two (2) Final Orders that ratified
partially the offsets made with credits from FINSOCIAL. It should be pointed out
that such credits derive from a final court decision that recognized same, with the
discussion remaining solely around its amount. The amount of the portion still not
ratified is R$ 185,021 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 171,744 as of December
31, 2014). On April, 2013 there was unfavorable decisions at the lower court to the
Company, which was filed a Voluntary Appeal. The Company awaits a decision
on the appeals filed.
(18.2.21) COFINS - Amnesty
Judicial Action proposed by the Company against the Federal Treasury with a
view at the recognition of amounts paid as COFINS, considering the reductions of
fines and interest guaranteed by the amnesty provided for by Law 9779/99. In May
2012, there was a decision at the State Court recognizing the right to the reductions
brought about by the amnesty. However, in the context of that same decision, the
understanding that the legal charges of 20% on the amount of the debt had not
been excluded by the amnesty was issued, remaining therefore the requirement
concerning that amount which is of the order of R$ 149,061 updated to December
31, 2015 (R$ 144,802 as of December 31, 2014).

(18.2.22) Actions for annulment – traffic tickets
The Company is the plaintiff in 16 Actions for Annulment of Traffic Tickets filed
against the Administration of the City of São Paulo, with a view at temporarily
suspending and annulling at the end of the action traffic tickets such as: (i) Rotating
Circulation of Vehicles; (ii) Truck Transit Restriction Zone; and (iii) Nonindication of Drivers. According to legal advisors, the chance of loss in all
proceedings is possible. By December 31, 2015, the total adjusted amount under
dispute of actions for annulment is R$68,616 (R$ 51,894 as of December 31,
2014).
(18.2.23) Cofins – Exofficio Fine
Notice of Violation issued to demand tax credits concerning COFINS
(determination period from April 1992 to March 1993) , plus exofficio fine
calculated on a 100% basis, and interest based on Selic. From the exclusive
standpoint of the Brazilian Tax Authorities the exofficio fine is justified by the fact
that the COFINS credits were paid by means of the Tax Amnesty granted by MP
2158/99 rather than the original payment of that tax (explanatory note 18.2.21). On
October 31, 2011 an unfavorable decision was rendered by the appeal court. The
Company obtained an unfavorable decision at the trial court and partially favorable
decision in administrative appellate court. In January 2015, the Company was
served with the notice of the decision denying the furtherance to special appeal to
CARF (Administrative Council of Tax Appeals). Thus, the decision decreasing the
ex-officio fine from 100% to 75% became definite, as well as the incidence of
SELIC rate on such values was excluded. Since there is no possibility for appeal
any longer, the debit was decreased from R$ 221,631 to R$ 58,988. On April 2015,
the preparatory action for a provisional remedy for tax collection shall be filed in
order to enable the debit guarantee and consequent enforceability suspension. The
proceeding merit shall be discussed in the records of the future tax collection to be
proposed by the Federal Revenue Service. The amount authorized up to December
31, 2015 is R$ 58,988 (R$ 221,631 on December 31, 2014).
(18.2.24) PIS Compensation Decrees (Remaining Credits)
On August 8, 2014, the Company was summoned by the Internal Revenue Service
on the non-ratification of administrative offsets carried out between remaining
Credits of excise tax (PIS) paid in excess, based on Decree-Laws nº 2.445/88 and
2.449/88, and PIS and COFINS debits relating to the period between April and
May 2013. On September 8, 2014 an administrative defense was presented, which
is now pending judgment. The value adjusted by December 31, 2015 is R$
126,582 (R$ 116,031 as of December 31, 2014).

(18.2.25) Tariff return - Shielded Base
On November 21, 2012, a proceeding was filed in order to examine certain assets
of the Company’s Regulatory Remuneration Base, a potential overvaluation of
assets and the possible refund of amounts overcharged to consumers. On February
18, 2013 the Reporting Director was appointed for the aforementioned proceeding.
In November 2013, ANEEL notified the Company requesting the latter to expose
their view in regards to the aforementioned proceeding, for the specific purpose of
knowing whether the recalculation of the tariffs practiced by the Company is due
prior to the date of its third periodic tariff reset, for potential discount and refund of
amortization and depreciation installments associated with any possibly
nonexistent assets (246,474.87 meters of AL Nu CAA 1272 MCM Cable). The
company presented its view, and on December 17, 2013, ANEEL Management by
means of ANEEL Dispatch nº 4.259/2013, decided for the recalculation of the
tariffs used by the Company in the period between July 2007 and July 2011,
corresponding to the amount of R$ 626,052, which shall be adjusted by the IGP-M
as of December 1, 2013 until the date of the beginning of the refund, which shall be
made by means of a negative financial component, deferred in up to 4 tariff events
as of July 2014 (“Decision”).
After the Decision was published, which took place on December 27, 2013, the
Company filed for an administrative appeal requesting ANEEL to reconsider the
Decision, also requesting that its effects be suspended until the reconsideration
request made is analyzed by the Agency.

mandamus with the Federal Court of Brasilia, with a motion for an injunction
requesting the Court to order the suspension of the effects of the Decision until the
request for reconsideration is judged by ANEEL. On January 29, 2014 the court

Proceeding”), for a possible discount and refund of the remuneration and
depreciation tranches associated with a possibly nonexistent asset, and decided to
maintain the decision made in December 2013.

the refund of 50% of the remuneration and depreciation tranches associated with
possibly nonexistent assets in the amount of R$ 325,543 generating a negative
impact of -3.30% on the total 2014 readjustment.

July 1, 2014 were suspended.
On July 16, 2014, ANEEL’s General Director, despotically did not acknowledge
the new request for consideration filed by the Company on July 3, 2014, on the

grounds that it is the competence of the Management of ANEEL to judge the
request for reconsideration. Also, given the fact that the administrative proceeding

the Company, confirming the termination of the discussion on the matter at the
administrative level.

recalculation of the tariff without the negative financial component set out in
ANEEL Dispatches nº 4.259/2013 and 2.176/2014 until judgment of the merits of
the appeal.
On September 25, 2014, ANEEL submitted a petition pointing out difficulties for
complying with the preliminary decision due to the need for complying with a

Tariff Flags:
As determined by Decree no. 8.401, issued on February 4, 2015, the Centralized
Tariff Flags Account - CCRBT was created, assigned to manage the resources
arising out of application of tariff flags instituted by ANEEL. The Electrical
Energy Commercialization Chamber - CCEE was designated by the creation and
maintenance of the CCRBT, and the amounts to be transferred and/or offset shall
be confirmed on a monthly basis by ANEEL, by means of issuance of technical
note.
The funds arising out of the application of tariff flags by the distribution companies
may be totally or partially reverted to the CCRBT. The funds available in this
account are transferred to the distribution companies by taking into consideration
(i) the amounts effectively realized of the variations relating to the generation costs
and exposure to liquidation prices in the short-term market; and (ii) rate coverage
in effect for each distribution company.
In January and February 2015, the amounts added to the electricity bill by the
yellow and red flags were R$15.00/MWh and R$30.00/MWh, respectively. As
from March 2, 2015, the amounts added were R$ 25.00/MWh and R$ 55.00/MWh,
respectively. From September 1, 2015, the additional values for red flags changed
to R$ 45.00/MWh.
The red tariff flag was effective throughout all year of 2015, when the Company
recorded the following amounts:

(i) Financial Resources of the Reserve Energy Account – CONER
Normative Resolution nº 613, of May 20, 2014 established that the CONER
financial resources must be used to refund the excess financial amounts of the
CONER to the users of reserve energy, where they exist. The refund will be made
in the form of a credit to the users at the financial settlements by CCEE.
CNPE Resolution No. 3, dated March 6, 2013
National Council of Energy Policy (CNPE) Resolution No. 3, dated March 6, 2013
established guidelines for the mechanisms internalization of risk aversion in
computational programs to energy studies and pricing forming as well as
established a new criteria to costs proration of additional dispatch from thermal
plants, over the transition phase and prior to the implementation of the new PLD
calculation (from April to August 2013). By new criteria, ESS cost due to energy
security, which was fully apportioned by consume category, free consumers and
distribution companies shall be apportioned by all SIN agents, including generator
companies and trader companies.
In May 2013, several associations - Abraceel, Apine, Abragel, Abraget, Única and
Abeeólica – managed to be granted injunctions excluding their associates from
splitting these costs and exempting them from the payment. As a consequence of
the judicial dispute, the Electric Energy Commercialization Camber – CCEE has
been carrying out financial settlements, allocating the corresponding cost to the
consumer category, including distributors.
On December 31, 2015, the injunction remains in force until a final decision is
made, which discusses the application of ESS collection by CNPE Resolution 03.
Thus the Company recognizes the cost of energy ESS according to the financial
settlements by the CCEE.

DIC, FIC, DMIC and DICRI are indicators that reflect the quality of the electric
energy supply service rendered to customers. They indicate the duration and
frequency of the interruption of energy supply, and the maximum duration
(tolerance) of the interruption in the supply of energy to the consumer. When
these indicators go beyond the goals set forth by ANEEL, the consumers receive
a financial compensation in the energy bill. The Company makes the
reimbursement to the customer by way of a credit in the bill in up to two months
after the event has occurred.

Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments are composed of bank
deposit certificates (CDB), repurchase agreements and marketable securities. CDBs
and repurchase agreements are marked to market on a monthly basis according to
the curve during the term of the investment.
For Loans, financing and debentures, the measurement technique used for fair
value calculation is the discounted cash flow, considering the expectation of
liquidation of such liabilities and current market rates and respecting the
peculiarities of each instrument at the balance sheet date.
For the financial concession asset, the Company determines its fair value by using
the same components of the regulatory remuneration rate set forth by ANEEL
(Regulatory WACC). In the event of the Company observes a change in the
regulatory WACC during the tariff-reset years, that new interest rate is used by the
Company to discount the estimated cash flows to present value. As of December
31, 2015, the Company concluded that there was no difference between those rates.

Level 2 – other techniques for which all data significantly affecting the recorded
fair value are observable, whether directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – techniques that use data significantly affecting the recorded fair value not
based on observable market data.

Sensitivity analysis to interest rate risk
With a view to determining the sensitivity on short-term investment and debts
indexes to which the Company was exposed as of December 31, 2015, 5 different
scenarios were developed. Based on the report prepared by FOCUS on December
31, 2015, the SELIC/CDI e TJLP indices were estimated for one year, and this
scenario was defined as probable; 25% and 50% variations were calculated thereon.
Gross financial income and expense were calculated for each scenario, which
represents the estimated effect in the profit and loss and shareholders’ equity for
each projected scenario, not considering taxes on short-term investment yields or
flow of payments for each debt contract. The portfolio base date was December 31,
2015 with a one-year forecast and CDI sensitivity tested for each scenario.

Extraordinary Tariff Review of 2015
ANEEL, in a public meeting of its Board of Directors held on February 27, 2015,
approved the Extraordinary Tariff Review (ETR) to be applied from March 2, 2015
to the electricity distributors, due to the gap between the actual costs of energy
purchases and contributions to the energy Development Account (CDE) and the
related tariff covers. Thus, ANEEL approved a ETR for the Company with an
average effect for consumers of 32%

Recovery plan for the indicators
In 2014 and early 2015, severe weather caused multiple and simultaneous incidents
that interrupted the improvements trend of quality indicators of distribution, mainly
SAIDI.
At the same time the regulator requested for 18 electricity distribution companies,
including the Company, a Recovery Plan of Operational Indicators, directing them
to equalize the quality of services in their concession areas. The Company's
income plan was presented to ANEEL, on September 18, 2015, and approved by
the agency on December 16, 2015. At the end of the plan, if the Company does not
meet the agreed indicators, ANEEL may impose penalties appearing in
REN63/2004, which are warning, penalty and, in extreme cases, intervention of the
concession.
The improvements in quality indicators regulated results in additional investments
and costs.
(c.2) Debt acceleration risk
The Company has loans, financing and debentures contracts containing covenants
usually applicable to these types of transactions, related to compliance with
economic and financial indexes, cash generation and others. As of December 31,
2015, the Company was compliant with the terms of the covenants (explanatory
note 15.7).
(c.3) Electric power contracting risk
The 2015 portfolio of Company power agreements consists of the following
components: Bilateral Contracts with AES Tietê Itaipu Contract and Program for
Alternative Electric Power Generation Sources (PROINFA); Physical Guarantee
Quotas Agreements – CCCGF; quotas Angra 1 and 2 and Electric Power Purchase
Agreements in a Regulated Market (CCEAR).
According to MME Decree No. 5163/2004, distributors must enter into regulated
power purchase agreements, only through federal public auctions, whose duration
is established by the MME.
Costs associated with purchase of electric power consist of unmanageable items.
Current legislation establishes that distribution companies must ensure service to
100% of their energy markets, and stipulates that ANEEL must consider, when
transferring electric power acquisition costs, up to 105% of the total amount of
power purchased in relation to the distributor’s annual supply load.

ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
The primary factors of uncertainty in the purchase of electricity are related to the
anticipation of the need for acquiring energy in advance of 5 and 3 years as regards
the start of the supply of the electricity acquired and the expectation of future
prices. Non-supply of 100% of the market may lead to fines due to lack of
contracting, in addition to not onlending the full costs of energy purchase in the
Short-Term Market onlent to the tariffs. Additionally, ANEEL will not pass on the
costs of acquisition of electric energy to the final consumers’ tariffs, in the event
that the level of contracting is in excess of one hundred and five percent of the total
amount of electric energy contracted compared to the annual load of supply of the
distribution agent. There are instruments provided for in the legislation such as
adjustment auctions to mitigate the risks of over and under contracting, MCSD
(Surplus and Deficit Control Mechanisms), option to reduce the Auction contracts
(CCEARs) due to (i) migration of consumers to the free market, (ii) increases in
power purchase under agreements entered into before Law No. 10848/2004 was
issued, and (iii) other market variations.
The power supply strategy is to ensure that the contracting level remains in the
range between 100% and 105%, in order to minimize costs with purchase of power
required to serve all captive consumers. Therefore, a risk management approach
was adopted on power purchase focused on identifying, measuring volume, prices
and supply periods, in addition to using leveraging tools to support the contracting
decision.
As provided for in the rules established by ANEEL Regulatory Decision 453, of
October 18, 2011, the contracting exposure to which the distribution companies
may be subject for reasons beyond their will, may be passed on to the distribution
to the respective tariffs. That onlending should be granted, provided that the
distribution agents use all mechanisms provided for in the regulation to meet the
obligation to contract the whole electric energy market. The penalties derived from
not meeting the full electric energy market of the distribution agents shall not be
applicable in the event of involuntary contractual exposure acknowledged by
ANEEL.
The company’s contracting level is defined on the basis of the purchase contracts
executed and the energy required for the use of captive clients. The Company
closed the year of 2015 with a contracting level of 107.2%. Transfer of
overcontracting is limited to 5% of the regulatory annual power required from the
concessionaire. Therefore, the difference not transferred on to consumer tariff is
absorbed by the concessionaire and may result in risk or opportunity, depending on
the energy price setting throughout the year.
The Company took part in auctions in the regulated environment (CCEAR), in
order to replenish the energy linked to the bilateral contract with AES Tiete, whose
termination occurred on December 31, 2015. This compulsory participation is
generating overcontracting forecast for the year 2016. However, the Company is
negotiating with ANEEL a way to mitigate the risks linked to that overcontracting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais)
Macro-economic and meteorological uncertainties significantly impact on the
projection of power to be contracted. The models provide guidance on the
contracting of power and the acceptable levels of risk and over time there is a need
to adjust these projections.
The increase of the dispatch by the thermoelectric plants and the short-term market
prices arising from the unfavorable rainfall scenario may result in higher costs for
the Company on the purchase of energy, associated with the contracts by
availability (CCEAR), hydrological risks associated with the physical guarantee.
Although the increased cost of energy and sector charges are passed through tariff,
if they occur at different times, the Company need to be financed by working
capital. In order to mitigate the negative impact on the cash flow of distributors in
February 2015 ANEEL opened two public hearings to: i) discuss Extraordinary
Tariff Reset required by electricity distributors, including the Company's specific
request filed on January 9; and ii) discuss adjustments to the tariff flag mechanism
already in force. The result was the confirmation of the special rate adjustment as
from as of March 2015, anticipating the transfer to customers of the cost increases
with the acquisition of electricity, thereby reducing the impact on cash flow and
need for working capital of the Company. By publishing the Confirmatory
Resolution no. 649 of February 27, 2015, the whole or part of the exposure in the
short-term market of the distribution company arising out of involuntary exposure,
the cost of the System Service Charge - ESS, the generation cost of the thermal
agreements and Hydrological Risk of Cotas and Itaipu started to be reorganized by
the effective Rate Flag.
In July 2015 the Company has passed by periodic tariff reset process which
allowed a new tariff adjustment to cover the Power purchase costs.
In addition, the economic crisis and the increase in power tariff led to a market
decline. If these conditions continue or worsen, the Company may be negatively
impacted, especially in relation to its cash flow.

The Normative Resolution No. 660, of April 28, 2015, approved the new
version for Sub-module 2.1 - General Procedures for Proret, including item 3.4 Exceeded demand and exceeded reactive energy consumption. Item 3.4 defines
that "As from the second review after 3CRTP, the values for the exceeded
demand and exceeded reactive energy consumption must be subtracted from
Parcel B, in proportion to the tariff cycle". Thus and pursuant to ANEEL
Closing Order No. 245, of January 28, 2016, the amounts referring to the
revenues for exceeded demand and exceeded reactive energy consumption
assessed as from the 4th Periodical Tariff Reset Cycle (4CRTP), previously
recorded as special obligations, were accounted for as regulatory financial
liabilities, in the amount of R$ 87,629. Also, pursuant to the Closing Order, the
amounts must be adjusted by SELIC interest rate.

Share-based payment plan
The Company does not have its own stock remuneration plan, so it is established,
managed and borne by its indirect controller, the AES Corporation, without
encumbrance for the Company.
This plan is eligible for statutory and non statutory directors and aims to retain
professionals and at create value for the business in a sustainable way over the
long-term. Its effective disbursement occurs only if the global results (financial and
performance) are reached, also reflecting in the positive variation in the price of the
AES Corporation shares.
The AES Corporation has two types of share based payment compensation:
(a)
Stock option: the statutory director receives the right to purchase shares of The
AES Corporation at a specific price after a period of three years; 1/3 of The AES
Corporation options granted become exercisable each year in which the officer
remains in the Company. The stock options have a contractual term of ten year and,
in all circumstances, stock options granted do not entitle the holder the right to
settle the stock option in cash or other assets of The AES Corporation.
Fair value weighted average for each option grant was estimated, on grant date,
through the “Black-Scholes” option pricing model, which used the weighted
average of the following assumptions:

Commitments
The Company’s main input is electrical power which is basically contracted at
public auction supervised by ANEEL.
The New Electric Power Sector Model Law established that energy be purchased
through auctions in an effort to restructure the electric power sector. This is in
order to give incentive to both public and private agents to construct and maintain
energy generation and supply in Brazil at moderate tariffs through competitive
public power auctions.
As of January 31, 2015, the Company now have four basic types of supply
agreements: (i) purchased power units from Itaipu that extend until 2027, (ii)
energy supply units from PROINFA projects; (iii) Physical Guarantee Quotas
Agreements – CCGF ; (iv) bilateral contracts with the affiliate Tietê; and (v)
purchases through auctions (explanatory note 26).
In addition, the Company incurs cost in accessing the distribution and transmission
system where tariffs are approved by ANEEL (explanatory note 26).
The Company also has commitments related to sector charges such as Energy
Development Account - CDE and Inspection Charge of Public Service of Electric
Power - TFSEE, whose tariffs are approved by ANEEL (explanatory note 25).

2015 Management Report
Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A.
Dear Shareholders,
The Management of Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (“AES Eletropaulo” or
“Company”), in compliance with the legal and statutory provisions, submits for your appraisal the
Company’s Management Report and accounting statements, accompanied by the independent
accountants’ report on these statements, pertaining to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
PROFILE
AES Eletropaulo is a publicly-held company with shares listed on BM&FBovespa, which is
for supplying electricity to 24 municipalities located in the metropolitan area of
including the capital of the state, one of the main economic and financial centers in
Company holds a concession area of 4,526 km², with high population density
concentrates Brazil’s greatest GNP.
responsible
São Paulo,
Brazil. The
and which
In order to meet the demand of 6.9 million consumer units, AES Eletropaulo, which employs 7,165
workers, has a structure which encompasses 152 substations (140 distribution transformer stations,
8 distribution system stations and 4 underground distribution transformer stations) and a
distribution and subtransmission network, overhead and underground cables, with over 42 thousand
kilometers, of which 1,847 km pertain to subtransmission lines, 2,190 km are underground
distribution networks and 38,497 km pertain to overhead distribution networks. The Company has
also over 208 thousand overhead and underground distribution transformers.
Sustainable Strategic Planning
The strategy of AES Brasil, the group to which AES Eletropaulo belongs, is guided by the 2015-2019
Sustainable Strategic Planning (“PES”), which defines as the Company’s strategic guidelines the
Customer satisfaction, Business development, Efficient use of resources and discipline in the
execution and Engagement of relationship audiences.
INDUSTRY CONTEXT
The Brazilian power industry is regulated by the National Electric Power Agency [Agência
Reguladora de Energia Elétrica] (“ANEEL”), has its guidelines established by the Ministry of Mines
and Energy [Ministério de Minas e Energia] (“MME”), and the following institutions are an integral
part thereof: the National Power System Operator [Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico] (“ONS”),
the purpose of which is to coordinate and control the operation of the National Interconnected
System [Sistema Interligado Nacional] (“SIN”); the Electric Power Trade Chamber [Câmara de
Comercialização de Energia Elétrica] (“CCEE”), which is responsible for accounting for and
liquidating short-term market transactions and, under delegation of ANEEL, performs electric
energy auctions; and the Energy Research Company [Empresa de Pesquisa Energética] (“EPE”),
which conducts studies and researches for the industry’s planning.
Prepared with the purpose of ensuring the supply of electric power and reasonable tariffs, the
milestone of this industry model was the enactment of Law No. 10.848/2004, which sets forth the
coverage of agents of the generation, distribution, transmission and sale segments.
Tariffs
The electric power supply tariffs are adjusted every year according to a parametric formula set
forth in the concession agreement. This formula takes into consideration the transfer of the socalled “unmanageable costs” by ANEEL (Portion A – industry charges, costs of electricity purchased
for resale purposes and transmission costs) and adjusts the “manageable costs” of the
concessionaire (Portion B – operating expenses, return on assets and depreciation) by the IGP-M of
1
the 12 months prior to the reference date of the adjustment, deducted from a productivity gain
index, called “X Factor”.
As for AES Eletropaulo, tariffs are reviewed every four years, with the purpose of restoring the
economic and financial balance set forth in the concession agreement. Among the main items which
ANEEL takes into account in the tariff review methodology are the assessment of the asset base,
operating expenses, regulatory losses, depreciation passed to tariffs and the weighted average cost
of capital (“WACC”) that, applied to the asset base, determines the compensation of the Company.
The forth periodic tariff review occurred on July 4, 2015 and the next tariff review will occur in July
2019.
Fourth Cycle of Tariff Review
Aneel, in a Public Meeting of the Executive Office held on June 30, 2015, approved a final periodic
tariff review index for the company of 15.23% (average effect on consumers), to be applied to the
tariff as from July 4, 2015. The index is composed of an economic adjustment of +7.51% and a
financial component of +7.72%, and the financial component considered in the previous tariff
determination process has already been deducted.
The tariff review index approved included:
(i) The reduction of the average price of purchased power due to the termination of the
agreement with AES Tietê on December 31, 2015;
(ii) The Compensation for Change in Value of Items in Portion A (“CVA”) of R$ 1.8 billion mainly
due to the CVA for Power Purchase, corresponding to +17.04% of the index; and,
(iii) The reversal of refund of the compensation and depreciation portions related to possibly
non-existing assets, in the amount of R$172.6 million as a financial component.
We highlight below the items which composed the tariff review in 2015:

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
According to the new Sustainable Strategic Planning of AES Brasil, one of the commitments is to
ensure the excellence of the services provided with ethics and respect for the customer.
In 2015, AES Eletropaulo achieved 76.1% in the Satisfaction Index with Perceived Quality (ISQP)
measured by ABRADEE, a level 3.5 percentage points lower than in 2014. This change occurred
mainly due to severe climate events in the beginning of the year, when the data of the first
research was collected. In addition, the significant increase in tariff throughout the year caused an
increase in the number of clarification requests to the company.
Quality Indicators
As previously informed to the market and Aneel, AES Eletropaulo verified inconsistencies during the
ascertainment of the DEC and FEC indicators in the period between January 2014 and May 2015,
mainly due to purges qualified as “critical day”. The Company is ascertaining the exact amount of
impacts resulting from the reprocessing, as well as on the refund actions to all clients.
Based on the data and projections available to date, AES Eletropaulo made in 2015 provisions in the
amount of R$152.2 million (“provision for regulatory proceedings”). This amount represents our best
estimate regarding four components: i) compensation to consumers for DIC/FIC/DMIC-related fines;
ii) Xq component of the X Factor which composes the tariff; iii) possible fines to be determined by
the regulatory body in replacement of any other fines issued against the company for the same
period in relation to quality indicators, and iv) financial update up to 2015.
The DEC indicator reached 23.41 hours in the past 12 months ended on December 31, 2015, which
represents a 76.8% increase in relation to 2014 (13.25 hours). This performance reflects a higher
incidence of events with strong wind gusts of up to 100 km/h during the period which was
associated with rain and lightning, caused a countless number of branches and objects to hit the
power grid, causing multiple damages to the wires, poles and equipment. The fall of more than 400
trees was registered in the City of São Paulo in only three days, contributing to the increase in the
DEC during the period. The FEC indicator for the past 12 months was 6.41 times, a 21.3% increase
compared to 2014 (5.28 times), also due to the abovementioned reasons.
In 2015, the fines paid by the Company to its customers due to violation of the DIC, FIC and DMIC
indicators totaled R$82.5 million, an amount 351.5% greater than the one accounted for in the
previous year.
Customer Relationship
The program Jeito AES de Atender (JAAT) was implemented in 2013, with the main purpose of
ensuring a relationship standard in all interactions within the Customer’s Journey. This program
promotes the culture and engagement regarding the quality and assertiveness necessary to the
customer’s interaction with AES.
After two phases dedicated to the awareness on the service standardization and service culture in
the past years, in 2015, JAAT’s actions focused on the management of the customer’s journey.
Different stages related to the power supply and which may result in a direct interaction with the
customer compose the journey, such as a complaint regarding the interruption of the power supply
or an indemnification claim.
Throughout the year, over 8.4 thousand employees and contracted personnel were trained so that
they can understand their role and impact on customer satisfaction and on the importance of
collaboration among the different departments for the results. Direct interviews with customers
have also been conducted to understand the level of satisfaction with the service provided.

AES Eletropaulo closed 2015 with an energy contracting level equal to 107.2% of its captive load.
The subcontracting occurred mainly as a result of a drop in the energy consumption in the period.
The surplus of 3.120 GWh of energy accumulated by the Company was sold in the CCEE.

1. Amounts estimated by the Company in order to make them similar to the reference for nontechnical losses of the low voltage market determined by Aneel
2. Reference by Aneel of losses for the regulatory year normalized for the civil year
1 1
The energy balance reflects the numbers for 2015 informed by the Electric Power Trade Chamber (CCEE), however, the
numbers for November 2015 and December 2015 are still preliminary. The numbers set out in the explanatory notes of the
Company’s Accounting Statements reflect the amounts estimated thereby at the time of the accounting closing and are
adjusted in the subsequent months, when the final numbers are made available by CCEE.
The total losses presented a 0.29 percentage point decrease compared to 2014 due to the decrease
in technical losses and actions implemented by the Company to reduce the threshold of the nontechnical portion, which were impacted by the tariff increase, mainly in the low voltage segment.
Among the main actions promoted to decrease losses, including efforts with the low-income
population, we highlight: (i) fraud inspections; (ii) recovery programs of cut installations; and (iii)
regularization of illegal connections.
In 2015, the initiatives aiming at preventing losses added to the invoiced market 594 GWh,
compared to 633 GWh in 2014.
Commercial Performance
The Company’s concession area has the most diversified economic activities, such as industries,
commerce and provision of services. In addition, its concession area has the greatest population
concentration in the country.
Commercial Activity
In 2015, the volume distributed by AES Eletropaulo reached 44,236.8 GWh, a 4.7% decrease in
relation to 2014, resulting from the negative performance of the classes, mainly the residential and
industrial classes which reduced the consumption in 5.1% and 9.6%, respectively. In this period
there was an extra 1.3 days of turnover (+131 GWh) and deactivation of customers’ installations
and, if those effects were to be excluded, the total market would decrease by 4.9%. The
performance reflects a worse economic scenario and the increase in the electricity rates. Until
November 15, the actual income in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo decreased 4.0% and the
Industrial Production in the State of São Paulo dropped by 10.9% in relation to the accumulated
total in November 2014, according to data provided by IBGE, reflecting the consumption in the
State of São Paulo, which accumulates a decrease of 4.1% until November 15.
The invoiced market of free clients decreased 6.2% due to the economic activity’s performance. In
that period, 4 consumer units migrated to ACL and no unit returned to ACR and the net effect of
such migration was an increase of 15 GWh to the ACL and, as a result, a decrease of the same order
in the ACR. However, 6 units were turned-off (-16 GWh) in the period, which compensated the
volume that migrated to the free market.
Economic and Financial Performance
Operating Revenue
The Company’s gross operating revenue totaled R$24,565.3 million in 2015, a 68.7% increase
compared to 2014. Such increase is mainly explained by: (i) a greater supply revenue in the amount
of R$4,382.0 million in view of the tariff reviews made throughout the year and the revenue of
R$1,623.1 million from Tariff Flags2; and (ii) a greater acknowledgement of the industry financial
assets in R$1,838.2 million; offset, mainly, (iii) by the increase of R$2,947.0 million, or 1,323.5%, in
the charges of the Energy Development Account [Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético] (“CDE”);
and (iv) the accounting for charges of the Tariff Flags Centralizing Account as from January 2015,
increasing the Gross Revenue deductions in R$1,694.1 million.

Portion A
Expenses with the purchase of power increased by 17.1% compared to 2014, mainly due the greater
power costs in Itaipú of 102,9%, as a result of the average tariff increase of 14.3% (R$216.6/MWh in
2015 versus R$189.5/MWh in 2014). Such increase was partially offset by the decrease of 0.7% of the
volume of power purchased in the period (44,746 GWh in 2015 versus 45,077 GWh in 2014).
Expenses with charges arising out of the use of the power grid and transmission increased by 183.7%
in 2015, mainly as a result of a 151.8% increase in the System Service Charges [Encargos do Serviço
do Sistema] (“ESS”) in view of a greater thermal dispatch and the positive effect in 2014 on the
liquidation by CCEE in the amount of R$91.5 million due to the financial adjustment regarding the
retroactive relief of the ESS and the receipt of funds from the Reserve Energy Account [Conta de
Energia de Reserva] (“CONER”) determined by ANEEL in 2014 totaling R$373.0 million (in
comparison to R$116.6 million in 2015).
Operating Expenses
The operating expenses, except for the Company’s pension fund, totaled R$1,893.4 million, a 41.9%
increase in relation to that accounted for in 2014 (R$1,334.6 million). Excluding also the Company’s
unmanageable items, such as PCLD, cancellations, contingencies, and the sale of Cambuci (R$114
million impact in 2014) and other non-recurring events, the manageable operating expenses would
total R$1,329.6 million, an amount 11.3% granter than that accounted for in 2014, mainly as a result
of greater costs with personnel, as detailed below.
Personnel
In 2015, expenses with personnel and charges increased by 2.1% compared to 2014, totaling R$693.2
million. Such variation is mainly due to the increase in the expenses with salary adjustment and
benefits in 2015 as a result of the collective bargaining agreement in the amount of R$21.1 million
and greater expenses with health insurance in the amount of R$19.9 million, partially offset by the
effect of the enhancement to the criteria of apportionment of own labor between Opex and Capex
in 2014, in the amount of R$51.8 million.
In 2015, expenses with the private pension fund totaled R$315.3 million, a 10.2% increase compared
to the R$286.9 million accounted for in 2014, mainly as a result of the decrease in the discount
rate.

Materials and Outsourced Services
In 2015, expenses with materials and outsourced services totaled R$566.3 million, a 15.9% increase
in comparison to 2014. Such variation is mainly due to (i) expenses of R$28.2 million related to the
quality indicators recovery plan; (ii) dismissal and collecting actions plan aiming to reduce default
by R$16.1 million; and (iii) expenses resulting from storms occurred the concession area in January
2015.
Other Operating Expenses
In 2015, the other operating expenses increased by 279.3% in comparison to 2014, totaling R$633.9
million, mainly as a result of the increase of DIC/FIC/DMIC-related fines (R$59.2 million) due to the
increase in the average turnover per consumer unit (“average ticket”) after the tariff adjustment of
2014 and tariff review of 2015 and as a result of climate events in January 2015, the increase in
PCLD also due to the increase in the “average ticket” and the provision of R$83.43 million related to
inconsistences ascertained in the calculation of the DEC and FEC quality indicators. In addition, in
2014 we accounted for R$146.1 million from the sale of real properties, which impacted the
variation in the same amount.

Ebitda
In 2015, the Reported Ebitda totaled R$963.6 million, in comparison to R$513.1 million in 2014. This
R$450.5 million variation results from (i) the decrease in the amortization effect of the regulatory
liability created due to the postponement of the 3RTP of R$362.4 million; (ii) the recovery of the
return of any possibly non-existent asset throughout the second trimester of 2015 accounting for
approximately R$249.1 million of the variation; offset by (iii) the R$116.4 million increase in PCLD;
3
Composed by (i) compensation to consumers due to DIC/FIC/DMIC/DICRI indicators in the value of R$ 48.5
million and (ii) possible penalties to be established by the regulator which substitutes any other penalties issued
to the Company for the same period regarding the quality indicators, totaling R$ 35.0 million
(iv) the increase in costs pertaining to Personnel, Materials and Outsourced Services of R$121.2
million; and (v) an effect of R$141.5 million related to inconsistencies ascertained in the
calculations of the DEC and FEC quality indicators.
Pursuant to IN CVM 527/2012, the disclosure of the EBITDA calculation shall be accompanied by the
reconciliation of the amounts set out in the accounting statements and shall be obtained as follows:
net profit in 2015 of R$101.1 million and net loss in 2014 of R$131.7 million, plus taxes on profits
(R$57.8 million in 2015 and minus R$64.6 million in 2014), from the net financial results of minus
R$313.9 million in 2015 and R$238.9 million in 2014, and the depreciations and amortizations
(R$490.7 million in 2015 and R$470.5 million in 2014) totaling, as described above, R$963.6 million
in 2015 and R$513.1 million in 2014.
Financial Results
In 2015, the net financial result was a financial expense of R$313.9 million, in comparison to a
financial expense of R$238.9 million in 2014. Such variation is explained mainly as follows: (i) the
net effect of the CDI due to the increase in the interest rate and a greater debt balance in the
period; and (ii) the increase in the exchange rate variation of R$94.7 million, mainly due to the
exchange rate variation associated to the power purchased from Itaipú.
Net Results
In 2015, the Company registered a reported net profit of R$101.1 million, compared to a net loss of
R$131.7 million in 2014, a variation of R$232.9 million mainly due to the accounting for the net
industry financial assets in 2015 under the period versus the balance accounted for in 2014 which
reflects other periods.
Shareholders’ Compensation
AES Eletropaulo’s Management proposes the distribution of 25% of the base for payment of dividends
of 2015, totaling R$42.1 million. The Management also proposes that the remaining amount of
R$126.3 million be allocated to the Statutory Reserve to increase the Company’s working capital.
The abovementioned allocations will be submitted for the approval of the Ordinary General Meeting
(“AGO”), which is scheduled to be held by April 29, 2016. Thus, the proposal for distribution of
Company’s funds corresponds to R$ 0.2372 per ON share and R$ 0.2609 per PN share to be paid on a
date to be resolved upon at an AGO.

Research and Development (R&D)
In 2015, AES Eletropaulo invested R$ 18.4 million in innovation, research and development, within
its innovation strategy, focusing on improvement of technical and operational procedures,
collaborator and contractor safety, as well as promotion of sustainable initiatives to communities.
IN 2014, AES Eletropaulo invested R$ 23.3 million.
The main projects in 2015 are becoming permanent programs, such as the Smartgrid, with
investments of R$ 11.4 million in development and implementation of monitoring, measurement,
supervision, communication and intelligence solutions to the electric grid, integrating and taking
the Company systems to a new technology level. There were also projects for transmission lines,
environment, technical distribution grid solutions, optimization of activities and processes, new
concepts, methods and equipment.
Power Efficiency Program
The AES Eletropaulo Power Efficiency Program seeks to reduce power wastes through regularization
of informal connections in low-income communities, machinery and equipment efficiency and
improvements in power management from public and corporate clients, as well as educational
projects focusing on awareness in power consumption. IN 2015, R$ 68.6 million were invested, an
average R$ 21 million increase compared to 2014, of which R$ 37.1 million were owned resources
and R$ 31.5 million were resources from the ANEEL program Transformação de Consumidores em
Clientes (Transforming Consumers into Clients), which aims to regulate informal connections
through safe and reliable power supply.
On other power efficiency programs, public and private entities were contemplated, as well as
projects originated from Public Calls. Also, projects with a social scope, such as the Recicle Mais
Pague Menos ("Recycle More, Pay less") program and AES in Schools.
Safety
Company Safety Programs are based in global guidelines of the AES Corporation (AES Corp) and on
the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS).
The OHSMS requisites are according to specifications of Role OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and
Safety Assessment Series), an international rule regarding workplace safety and health, focused at
preservation of physical integrity and health of collaborators and partners, through risk mitigation
practices in activities and facilities. As a result of the adherence to our Health and Safety
Management System we were granted, in 2012, the OHSAS Certification 18001. In 2015, the recertification audit by certifying company ABS Quality Evaluations was carried out.
Despite continuous efforts from AES Eletropaulo to keep a safe work environment, in 2015 a traffic
accident was recorded, involving a contractor team, which ended with two casualties. There was an
increase in attendance rates of owned collaborators and contractors compared to 2014, as a result
of minor events regarding injuries. No event was related to interaction with electric energy.
Events recorded in 2015 requested more attention over the reduction of accident frequency and
reinforcement of the safety principles and culture on all operational levels. Thus, an additional
strategic action plan was established to the Safety Program, regarding process aspects, data
collection, incident report and analysis, contractor management and training. In 2016 a new
strategic cycle will be started for the safety theme inside AES, based on challenges observed over
the last years and lessons learned.
The Company keeps four formal safety committees: AES Brasil Job Safety Committee, AES
Eletropaulo Job Safety Committee, AES Eletropaulo Regional Committee and Internal Committee for
Accident Prevention ("CIPA"), all representing the best interests of all collaborators.
Population Safety
IN 2015, there were 16 fatal accidents involving the population, compared to 10 in 2014. Actions for
raising awareness over risks were reinforced throughout 2015. This increase may be due to the
advance of informal civil construction activities near the power grid, especially in low-income
communities. In order to address these practices and provide more safety to the population, safety
lectures in communities and companies were increased in 2015, and Blitzes and training with the
population were carried out, focusing on civil construction workers.
Awareness campaigns in public media were also reinforced in 2015, with announcements on
broadcast TV, radio stations, subways and trains in order to inform the public about the safety risks
regarding the power grid.
The company invested R$ 1 million in 2015 to bring information to the population, mainly of lowincome, which experienced the most accidents.
Environmental Management
AES Eletropaulo features the Environmental Management System "SGA", certified since 2008
according to requisites of Rule ISO 14001. In 2015, the re-certification audit was carried out (in
joint effort with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System) by certifier company ABS
Quality, which resulted in "Zero Non-Conformities". The SGA focuses, mainly, on prevention,
mitigation and control of negative environmental impacts caused by company operations. In order
to attain better results, goals are established and investments are made in standardization and
improvement of operational processes of activities with higher environmental risks.
The system also approaches themes which involve management of service and material suppliers,
taking into account issues related to conformity to environmental law and Company policies, as well
as impact and accident prevention. All these actions are guided by the AES Brasil sustainability
policy, which promotes action in conformity with the current environmental law and in respect of
natural resources.
In 2015, AES Eletropaulo assigned R$ 75.7 million to environmental actions, such as training,
improvement of environmental process management, new technologies, licensing and
environmental compensations, investigation of potential liabilities, environmental remediation
measures and environmental audits with suppliers.
ENGAGEMENT WITH RELATIONSHIP AUDIENCES
Collaborators
Seeking to attract, develop and retain talent, AES Brasil companies put effort in providing
collaborators with an ethical and inclusive work environment, which values diversity and promotes
personal and professional development. Collaborators are engaged to a culture of sustainability and
creation of shared value, which is based in ethics and AES Values. In 2015, the development process
of 7,165 collaborators of AES Eletropaulo was continued, in order to retain talent with necessary
knowledge and experience to reach the goals of the AES vision - always based on our Values. Career
development policies include continued qualification processes, trainee programs, practice,
acknowledgment, knowledge management, inclusive qualification, and leadership development.
Communities
The relationship and commitments to communities are guided by the Corporate Social Responsibility
Management System (SGRSC) and are in accordance to external rules and standards applicable to
AES businesses in Brazil, such as ISO 26,000 and AA 1,000. This way, the Company promotes
continued improvement of social action and ensures alignment with the business strategy and
Sustainability Policy.
Initiatives for communities are grouped under four pillars of the Private Social Investment Policy,
aligned to the value creation model of the company based on the Sustainable Strategic Planning:
Education, Culture, Sports and Health; Inclusive Professional Qualification; Access to Electricity and
Power Efficiency; Social Influence. The evaluation system is made of indicators of activity
management, which measure the impact over the affected audience and take investment per
project into consideration. Opinion polls are also carried out with the beneficiaries to measure the
satisfaction levels and fulfillment of expectations for each audience.
In 2015, R$ 95.2 million was assigned, of which R$ 50.1 million were incentive resources and R$ 45.1
million with owned resources in social actions. More information about the subject may be found on

to accounting statement audits, consolidation audits by the indirect controller company AES
Corporation, headquartered in the United States of America and special review of Quarterly

principles that preserve the autonomy of the auditor and consist in: (a) the auditor must not audit
his/her own work, (b) the auditor must not perform management functions in the Company and (c)
the auditor must not promote the Company's interests.
