THE BUSINESS 8 COMMERCIALIZATION Transelec Norte’s corporate purpose is the commercialization of its power lines’ transmission capacity and eventually transformation capacity development. Current electricity regulations –Statutory Decree N°1 dated 1982 and amended with the publication of Law N° 19,940 known as Short Law I published in March 2004- define transmission systems by classifying transmission facilities as belonging to Trunk Transmission Systems, Subtransmission Systems or Additional Systems, according to the purpose and characteristics of each facility. Current legal regulations establish an open access layout for the first two systems. In addition, these regulations grant power transmission facility owners the right to collect compensation for use of their transmission system by power companies and their customers. This compensation corresponds to annual investment value (AIV) plus operating, maintenance this case, compensation should be agreed and administration expenses (COMA). by establishing bilateral contracts.

A Decree setting subtransmission tariffs and their respective indexing formulas for the aforementioned period should be published in early 2012. Additional tariffs stem from use of the transmission system for electricity withdrawals executed by power companies in order to supply their customers, such as distribution companies and customers that are not subject to price regulation. COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS An agreement was signed with Metro S.A. in 2011 in order to develop a power transmission system to supply their future consumption needs. As of 31 December 2011, Transelec Norte has commercial contracts with the following: 1) Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A. (CELTA): a basic toll contract for injections by its Tarapacá power plant and an additional toll contract for withdrawals made by its customers Minera ACF, Minera DCM, Minera Collahuasi and Minera Cerro Colorado. 10 2) Gas Atacama Generación Ltda.: a 6) Electroandina S.A.: land leasing and basic toll contract for injections by its shared facilities for the 23 kV Nueva Atacama power plant and an addition- Victoria Bay at the Lagunas sub- al toll contract for withdrawals made station. by its customers Emelari, Eliqsa y Elecda. 7) Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.: an investment agreement for the 3) Minera Doña Inés de Collahuasi: land leasing and shared facilities for 220 Ciruelos substation in order to connect its Valdivia plant to the SIC. kV bays at the Lagunas and Encuentro substations. 8) Compañía Minera Carmen de Andacollo: an additional toll contract for a 4) Minera Spence: land leasing and power transmission solution contract shared facilities for the 220 kV bay at for the withdrawal of power needed the Encuentro substation. for its Hypogen Project at the Pan de Azúcar substation. 5) Empresa Eléctrica de Iquique: land leasing and shared facilities for the 23 kV Pintados Bay at the Lagunas substation. 11 03.

This project should be completed in early 2012. In addition, microwave link installation projects were executed in order to replace OPGW fiber optic cables that were out of service. In addition, transformer oil was analyzed for transformers at the Lagunas and Encuentro substations in order to control the effectiveness of passivation executed in former years. This was done in order to counteract the effect of corrosive sulfur in insulating oil. The results obtained warranted reapplication of the passivation process for the transformer at the Encuentro substation. 15 04. FINANCES 16 In 2003, Transelec Norte (formerly HQI 2011 fiscal year.

(hereinafter the Company) is a publicly-held corporation domiciled at Av. Apoquindo No. 3721, floor 6, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. The Company is registered in the Securities Register of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS) under No. 939. The Company’s line of business involves operating and developing electrical systems owned by the Company or by third parties designed to transport or transmit electricity and may, for these purposes, acquire and/or use the respective concessions and permits and exercise all of the rights and powers that current legislation confers on electric companies. The Company is directly controlled by Transelec S.A. and indirectly controlled by ETC Holdings Ltd. The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 were approved by its Board of Directors at its meeting held on March 16, 2011, and were subsequently presented for consideration at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 28, 2011, where they were ultimately approved. These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors in Ordinary Meeting No.92 held on March 21, 2012. Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Principles The principal accounting policies applied in preparing these interim financial statements are detailed below. These policies have been applied uniformly for all periods presented. 2.1 Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, including International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The figures in these financial statements and notes are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, the Company’s functional currency. For the convenience of the reader these financial statements have been translated from Spanish into English. 79 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) In preparing these financial statements certain critical accounting estimates have been used to quantify some assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management was also required to exercise judgment his trial in the process of applying accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of trial or complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are described in Note 4. Information contained in these financial statements is the responsibility of the Company´s management. 2.2 New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective Below is a summary of new standards, interpretations and improvements to IFRS issued by the IASB that are not yet effective as of on December 31, 2011: IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures In October 2010, the IASB issued a series of modifications to help financial statement users to assess their exposure to transfers of financial assets, analyze the impact of risks on the financial position of the entity and promote transparency, especially on transactions involving the securitization of financial assets. Entities are required to apply the changes to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of IFRS 7 will have on its financial Statements. IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments Financial liabilities On October 28, 2010, the IASB included in IFRS 9 the accounting treatment of financial liabilities, maintaining the classification and measurement criteria existing in IAS 39 for all liabilities except those for which the fair value option was used. Entities whose liabilities are valued using the fair value option should determine the amount of variation attributable to credit risk and recorded in equity if it does not produce an accounting mismatch. Entities are required to apply the changes to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. 80 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of IFRS 9 will have on its financial statements. Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement In November 2009, the IASB issued “Financial Instruments” (IFRS 9), the first phase in its project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets that are in the scope of IAS 39. This new regulation requires that all financial assets are classified according to the business model of the entity for the management of financial assets and cash flow characteristics of contractual financial asset. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if they meet two criteria: (a) the purpose of the business model is to maintain a financial asset to receive contractual cash flows, and (b) cash flows represent contractual payments principal and interest. If a financial asset does not meet the above conditions it will be measured at fair value. Additionally, the standard allows a financial asset that meets the criteria to be valued at amortized cost may be designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option, provided that it significantly reduces or eliminates an accounting mismatch. Also, the IFRS 9 eliminates the requirement to separate embedded derivatives primary financial asset. It therefore requires a hybrid contract is classified in its entirety on amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9 all equity investments are measured at fair value. However, the Administration has the option to apply directly the changes in fair value in equity under “Valuation Accounts.” This designation is available for the initial recognition of an instrument and is irrevocable. The unrealized gains recorded in “Accounts of valuation”, from changes in fair value should not be included in the income statement. The IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, allowing early adoption before that date. IFRS 9 should be applied retroactively, however, if adopted before January 1, 2012, does not require restating comparative periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of IFRS 9 will have on its financial statements. IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” IFRS 13 is a single source that describes how to measure fair value under IFRS, when fair value is required or permitted to be used, but does not change when an entity is required to use fair value. 81 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) The standard changed the definition of Fair value- Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). In addition the standard includes some new disclosure requirements. IAS 12 “Income Taxes” IAS12 introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred taxes on investment properties measured at fair value will be recognized on the basis of sales (sales basis), unless the entity has a business model that may indicate that investment in property will be consumed during the business. If consumed, a consumer base should be adopted. It also introduces requirement that deferred taxes on non depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sales base. Its application is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 2012. 2.3 Foreign exchange transactions 2.3.1 Functional and presentation currency These financial statements have been prepared in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. 2.3.2 Transactions and balances The operations carried out by the Company in a currency other than its functional currency are recorded at the exchange rates in force at the time of the respective transactions. During the year, differences between the exchange rate for accounting purposes and the exchange rate in force as of the collection or payment date are recorded as foreign exchange differences in the income statement. Likewise, as of year-end balances receivable or payable in currencies other than Company’s functional currency are converted at the closing exchange rate. Losses and gains on foreign currency arising from settling these transactions and from converting monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency using year-end exchange rates are recorded in the income statement. 82 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) 2.3.3 Exchange rates Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and Unidades de Fomento (UF) had the following respective year-end exchange rates and values: December 31, 2011 December 31, 2010 US$US$ Chilean peso ($) 0.00193 0.00213 Unidades de fomento (UF) 42.9392 45.8442 2.4 Segment reporting The Company manages its operations based on one sole operating segment: electricity transmission. 2.5 Property, plant and equipment Property, Plant and Equipment are valued at purchase cost, net of any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. In addition to the price paid to acquire, the cost also includes, where appropriate, all costs directly related to placing the asset in the location and condition that enables it to be used in the manner intended by management. Financial expenses incurred during the construction period which are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are those that require a substantial period of time before they are ready for use, are capitalized. The interest rate is used for the specific funding or, in their absence, the average company financing. Any future disbursements that Transelec Norte S.A. has to make in relation to the close of its facilities are incorporated into the value of the asset at the updated value, and the corresponding provision is recognized for accounting purposes. Transelec Norte S.A. reviews its estimation of these future disbursements on an annual basis and increasing or decreasing the value of the asset based on the result of this estimation. Assets under construction are transferred to operating assets once their testing year has been completed and they are available for use, at which time their depreciation begins. Expansion, modernization or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, capacity or efficiency, or an extension of the useful lives of the assets, are capitalized as an increased cost of the corresponding assets. Substitutions or renovations of complete elements that increase the asset’s useful life or economic capacity are recorded as greater cost for the corresponding 83 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) asset, and the elements that have been substituted or renovated are derecognized for accounting purposes. Periodic maintenance, conservation and repair costs are recorded directly in income as a cost for the period in which they are incurred. Property, Plant and Equipment, net of their residual value, are depreciated using the straight-line method to distribute the cost of the different components over the estimated useful lives, which constitute the period over which the companies expect to use them. The useful lives and residual values of fixed assets are reviewed on an annual basis. The following table details useful lives of principal classes of assets: Account Range for estimated useful life Minimum Buildings and infrastructure Machinery and equipment Other 20 15 3 Maximum 50 40 15 2.6 Intangible assets 2.6.1 Rights of way Rights of way are presented at historical cost. These rights have no defined useful life and, therefore, are not amortized. However, these indefinite useful lives are reviewed during each reporting period to determine if they remain indefinite. These assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis. 2.6.2 Computer software Purchased software licenses are capitalized based on the costs incurred to purchase them and prepare them for use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life that ranges from three to five years. Expenses for developing or maintaining computer software are expensed when incurred. Costs directly related to creating unique, identifiable computer software controlled by the Company that is likely to generate economic benefits in excess of its costs during more than one year are recognized as intangible assets. 84 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) 2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets Assets with an indefinite useful life, such as rights of way, are not amortized and are tested annually for impairment. Depreciated and amortized assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. In order to assess impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Impairment losses for continued operations are recognized in the income statement in the category of expenses related to the function of the assets that suffered impairment. Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment loss are reviewed at each reporting date for possible reversal of the impairment, in which case the reversal may not exceed the amount originally impaired. Reversals are recognized in the income statement. 2.8 Leases Leases in which substantially all risks and benefits inherent to the property are transferred to the lessee are classified as finance leases. Other leases that do not meet this criterion are classified as operating leases. The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent in the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. 2.8.1 The company as lessor Operating leases The operating lease payments for these contracts are recognized as income on a straight-line basis. 85 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Financial leases These contracts are valued at the present value of the lease payments at an effective rate, which implies including expenses associated with the agreement’s origin 2.9 Financial assets Upon initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets, with the exception of investments accounted for using the equity method and investments held for sale, in four categories: - Loans and receivables, including Receivables from related parties: are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method - Investments held to maturity: non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company intends to hold and is capable of holding until their maturity. After initial recognition these assets are valued at its amortized cost as defined in the preceding paragraph. During the periods covered by these financial statements, the Company had no financial assets in this category. - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: These assets include the investment portfolio and those financial assets that have been designated as such upon initial recognition and are managed and evaluated according to the fair value criterion. They are valued at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, and changes in their value are recorded directly in income when they occur. During the years covered by these financial statements, the Company had no financial assets in this category.. - Available-for-sale investments: these are assets that are specifically designated as available for sale or that does not fit into the three previous categories. Almost all of these assets correspond to financial investments in capital. These investments are recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value when it can be reliably determined. With respect to shares in unlisted companies, normally the market value cannot be reliably determined, and therefore they are valued at purchase cost or a lower 86 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) amount if there is evidence of impairment. Changes in fair value, net of tax effects, are recorded with a charge or credit to an Equity Reserve called “Available-for-sale financial assets” until the disposal of such investments, at which point the accumulated amount in this category relating to such investments is wholly recorded in the statement of income. Should the fair value be less than purchase cost, if there is objective evidence that the asset has been affected by impairment that cannot be considered temporary, the difference is recorded directly in the statement of income. Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for using the transaction date A financial asset is derecognized when: a) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or b) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, for example delayed payments. In the case of financial assets valued at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between 87 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) the carrying amount and the present value of the future estimated cash flows. The carrying amount is reduced using a provision account and the loss is recognized in the income statement. If in a later period the amount of the expected loss increases or decreases as a consequence of an event occurred after the recognition of the impairment, the impairment loss previously recognized is increased or reduced adjusting the provision account. If the write-off is later recovered, this reversal is recognized in the income statement. In the case of financial assets classified as available-for-sale, in order to determine if the assets have been impaired, it will be considered if a significant or prolonged decrease in fair value of the assets below cost has occurred. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the income statement, is reclassified from equity and recognized in the income statement. Impairment losses recognized in the income statement for equity instruments are not reversed in the income statement. 2.10 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents presented in the statement of consolidated financial position includes cash, time deposits and other highly-liquid, short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 2.11Paid-in capital Paid-in capital is represented by one class of ordinary shares with one vote per share. Incremental costs directly attributable to new share issuances are presented in equity as a deduction, net of taxes, from income. 2.12 Financial liabilities The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables and other accounts payable, loans and liabilities of a similar nature. The Company determines the classification of financial liabilities on initial recognition. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at its fair value. In the case of loans they also include the direct transactions costs. 88 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans, bonds payable and financial liabilities of a similar nature are subsequently valued at amortized cost and any difference between the funds obtained (net of costs to obtain them) and repayment value are recognized in the income statement over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method. 2.13 Income tax and deferred taxes Expense or benefit from income taxes for the year is determined as the sum of the Company’s current taxes being the result of the application of the tax rate over the taxable income for the year, after applying any admissible tax deductions, plus changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax credits for both tax losses and deductions. Differences between the book value and the tax base of assets and liabilities give rise to deferred tax asset or liability balances that are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets and liabilities are realized. Current taxes and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not the result of business combinations are recorded in income or in equity in the statement of financial position, depending on where the gains or losses giving rise to such assets or liabilities were recorded. Deferred tax assets and tax credits are recognized only when it is likely that there are future tax gains sufficient enough to recover deductions for temporary differences and make use of tax losses. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences, except those derived from the initial recognition of goodwill and those that arose from valuing investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled companies in which the Company can control their reversal and where it is likely that they are not reversed in the foreseeable future. 89 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 2.14 Provisions Provisions for environmental restoration, asset retirement, restructuring costs, onerous contracts, lawsuits and other contingencies are recognized when: - The Company has a present obligation, whether legal or implicit, as a result of past events; - It is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; - The amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the obligation. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market conditions, as of the reporting date, of the time value of money, as well as the specific risk related to the particular liability, if appropriate. Increases in provisions due to the passage of time are recognized in interest expense. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has no obligations for environmental restoration and similar liabilities. 2.15 Classification of current and non-current balances In the statement of financial position, balances are classified based on maturity (i.e. current balances mature in twelve months or less from the financial statement closing date and non-current balances in more than twelve months). In the event that there are obligations due within less than twelve months but whose long-term refinancing is assured at the Company’s discretion through available unconditional credit contracts expiring in the long term, such obligations may be classified as long-term liabilities. 90 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) 2.16 Revenue recognition Revenue relate mainly to revenues from the sale of electric transmission capacity of the facilities of the Company. Revenue includes transmission service provided but not invoiced at the end of the period, which is valued at the price of sale as required by existing contracts and toll reports issued by the Center for Economic Load Dispatch Northern Interconnected System (CDEC-SING). The Company recognizes revenues when the amount can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. 2.17 Distribution of dividends Dividends payable to the Company’s shareholders are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which they are declared and approved by the Company’s shareholders or when the corresponding obligation arises based on current legal provisions or distribution policies established by shareholders. On the Company’s Board meeting No. 78 held on September 30, 2010, the policy used for the determination of distributable net profit was approved. This policy does not consider adjustments to the profit. Note 3 - Risk Management Policy 3.1 Financial risk The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of the financial instruments it holds: Market risk stemming from interest rates, exchange rates and other prices that impact market values of financial instruments, credit risk and liquidity risk. The following paragraphs describe these risks and how they are managed:: 3.1.1Market risk Market risk is defined for these purposes as the risk of changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of changes in market prices. Market risk includes the risk of changes in interest and exchange rates and variations in market prices due to factors other than interest or exchange rates such as commodity prices or credit spread differentials. 91 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Company policy regulates investments and indebtedness, in an attempt to limit the impact of changes in the value of currencies and interest rates on the Company’s net results by: a) Investing cash surpluses in instruments maturing within no more than 90 days. b) Entering into forward contracts and other instruments to maintain a balanced foreign exchange position. c) Long term loan issued by its parent Transelec S.A. at a fixed rate. 3.1.1.1 Interest rate risk On Assets: Given the average recovery period of investment does not exceed 45 days, an increase in interest rates has no significant impact on company earnings. On Liabilities: The Company has no liabilities except for a loan from its parent company Transelec S.A., with a fixed interest rate. Therefore the Company´s liabilities are not affected as a result of increases in the interest rates do not impact its net income. 3.1.1.2 Foreign currency translation risk The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar and, therefore, the majority of its transactions are carried out in this currency. Exposure to exchange rate risk for transactions expressed in other currencies (mainly the Chilean peso) is minimal. In terms of currency matching, the Company’s current balance as of December 31, 2011 has fewer assets than liabilities in Chilean pesos equivalent to US$ 2.3 million This exposure in pesos translates into a gain/ (loss) for foreign currency translation of approximately US$ 45 thousand for each $ 10 variation in the peso-dollar rate. 3.1.2 Credit risk Credit risk for receivables from commercial activity is historically very limited given the short length of time before payment is due, which limits the accumulation of significant individual amounts. However, there is a concentration of the Company’s total transmission income of 76.58% in only one client. Nevertheless, considering the compensation of energy flows mechanisms in the system, this percentage could be lower. 92 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Regarding the risk of investing surplus cash, it can be invested in banks or financial institutions with limits set according to capital and risk classification of each financial institution, in terms not exceeding 90 days.. 3.1.3 Liquidity risk a) Risk associated with management of the company Liquidity risk is the risk of the Company not satisfying a need for cash to pay a debt upon maturity. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. In order to guarantee its ability to quickly react to investment opportunities and to pay its obligations by their maturity dates, the Company maintains a high level of liquidity. Its principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents, in addition to accounts receivable. In addition, the Company has an available credit line granted by its parent company, Transelec S.A. that allows meeting any cash needs. b) Associated risk to the settlement of trunk transmission system tariff revenues According to Decree N°4/20.018 from the Ministry of Economy, Fomentation and Reconstruction, in its articles 81, 101, 104 and 106, and complementary rules, Transelec has the right to perceive on a provisory basis the real tariff income(IT for its name in Spanish) of the trunk transmission system generated for every period. In order to get their own revenues set up in the first paragraph of article N°101 of the above mentioned Decree N°4/20.018, the real tariff income perceived on a provisory basis must be settled by Transelec according to the repayment schedule prepared by the respective CDEC (Center of Economic Dispatch of Charge) through the collection or payment to the different companies owner of generation facilities. Transelec could face the risk of not opportunely collect the IT that some of the companies owners of generation facilities should pay as set up in the repayment schedule of CDEC, which may temporarily affects the liquidity situation of the company . In this sense, and in the opinion of the company, the clearing house work being done by Transelec in respect of the above-mentioned collection consists not in the collection of values for its own benefit, but in the mere collection and payment to third parties of credits and debts that belong to the generating companies, with the exception of the expected tariff income. 93 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) Note 4 - Critical Estimates, Judgments or Criteria Employed By Management The estimates and criteria used by the Company are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered reasonable based on the circumstances.

Electricity transmission service falls under the legal framework that governs the electricity sector in Chile. This framework defines transmission systems and classifies transmission facilities into three categories (the trunk transmission system, the subtransmission system and additional systems), establishing an open access scheme for the first two systems and allowing additional lines that use rights of way and have national assets for public use along their paths to be used by third parties under non-discriminatory technical and economic conditions. The law also sets criteria and procedures for determining compensation that transmission facility owners are entitled to receive. Transelec’s revenue from the trunk system consists of the “annual transmission value per segment” (VATT for its Spanish acronym), which is calculated every 4 years based on the “annual investment value” (AVI for its Spanish acronym), plus “operating, maintenance and administrative costs” (COMA for its Spanish acronym) for each trunk system segment. The annual subtransmission system value (VASTX for its Spanish acronym) is calculated every four years. It is based on the valuation of facilities that are economically adapted to demand and consists of standard investment, maintenance, operating and administrative costs, plus average energy and capacity losses of the adapted facilities. Revenue from transport on additional systems is established in private contracts with third parties, which are principally generators and users that are not subject to price regulation. The main objective of the additional systems is to enable generators to inject their production into the electricity system and to allow large customers to make withdrawals. The law distinguishes between the different systems in order to ensure that tariffs are appropriate for each case. Nevertheless, facilities of a given voltage (220 KV, for example) are identical, whether trunk, subtransmission or additional. Thus, a 220 KV facility requires a given type of maintenance, fundamentally because of its geographic location, its proximity to the ocean, the climate, etc., but in no case does this maintenance depend on whether that 220 KV facility is trunk, subtransmission or additional. Precisely the same happens with operating costs: operations are executed by the corresponding CDEC regardless of whether that 220 KV facility is trunk, subtransmission or additional. Thus, for Transelec this classification into trunk, subtransmission or additional systems is merely for tariff purposes and has no other consequences. 110 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. notes to the financial statements (Expressed in thousands of US dollars (ThUS$)) (Translation of the financial Statements originally issued in spanish) The Company’s management analyzes its business as a set of transmission assets that enables it to provide services to its customers. As a result, resource allocation and performance measurements are analyzed in aggregate.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 a) Operating Income During 2011, operating income amounted to ThUS$ 19,580, which is higher by 2.8% than the revenues for 2010 which amounted to ThUS$19,051. This income is mainly from the commercialization of the transmission capacity of the Company’s facilities in the Greater North Interconnected System (SING). It is worth mentioning that the Company’s revenues are supported by contracts. Operating costs for the period amounted to ThUS$ 7,009, which is 6.6% lower than ThUS$ 7,506 recorded in 2010. Costs are broken down basically in depreciation of the goods of PP&E (89.7% in 2011 v/s 77.8% in 2010), while the remaining 10.3% (22.2% in 2010) corresponds basically to operation, maintenance and administrative services received from Transelec S.A. b) Non-operating Income Non-operating income for the current period was a loss of ThUS$4,074, which is lower by 14.6% compared to the prior period (ThUS$4,770). This decrease is mainly explained by the lower interest expense charge in 2011 (ThUS$4,308 in 2011 versus ThUS$6,128 in 2010). 2.

In the same period in 2010, a net negative cash flow of ThUS$10,984 was generated, mainly originated by operating activities in the amount of ThUS$6,374, which was negatively affected by financing activities of ThUS$3,411 and investing activities of ThUS$13,952. 116 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 Investing activities in 2011 and 2010 are mainly associated with additions of property, plant and equipment and generated a cash outflow in the amount of ThUS$5,370 and ThUS$ 13,952, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the final balance of cash and cash equivalents amounted to ThUS$7,204, from an opening balance of ThUS$5,832.

THE MARKET The business of Transelec Norte S.A. is mainly focused on commercialization of the electricity transmission and transformation capacity of its facilities located in the SING, which covers Chile’s northern regions of Tarapacá (I), Arica y Parinacota (XV) and Antofagasta (II), at a voltage of 220kV. 117 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 6. MARKET RISK FACTORS Due to the nature of the electrical market and the legislation and standards that regulate this sector, the Company is not exposed to significant risks in developing its main business. However, the following risk factors should be mentioned and considered: Technological Changes Transelec Norte S.A. is compensated for investments it makes in electrical transmission facilities through the annuity of the investment value of the existing facilities (AVI). Any important technological changes in the equipment at its facilities could lower this valuation. This situation would prevent partial recovery of the investments made. However, Transelec Norte S.A. owns long-term contracts that guarantee its revenues. Regulatory Framework The legal regulations governing the electricity transmission business in Chile were amended by the enactment of Law 19,940, referred to as Short Law I, published on March 13, 2004. Decree 207, published January 15, 2008, established, among other matters, the Annual Transmission Value per Segment (VATT for its Spanish acronym) and its indexation formulas for the four-year period from 2007 to 2010, as well as the application conditions to determine payments for transmission services along trunk transmission systems. The provisions of this decree define a set of previously pending matters that allow trunk facility owners to receive VATT for their facilities. The second Trunk Transmission Study was conducted in 2010 to set tariffs and indexation formulas for the period 2011-2014. Decree 61, published on November 17, 2011 contains the tariffs that will be retroactively applicable as from January 1, 2011. It is expected that the application of the new tariffs and the resettlement for 2011 will be carried out during the first semester of 2012. On the other hand, Decree No.320 of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, which establishes the tariffs for the sub-transmission facilities, was published in the Official Gazette on January 9, 2009, the new tariffs became effective on January 14, 2009, and their validity is until October 31, 2010. The new sub-transmission tariffs that will be applicable for the period November 2010 – October 2014 will be established by the Ministry of Energy based on studies of the valuation of sub-transmission facilities, these studies started in 2010. To the date of issuance of this document, the decree that will establish the sub-transmission tariffs for the abovementioned period is still not available; meanwhile, the tariffs under decree 320/2009 are being provisionally applied. The difference between the provisional invoicing and the amounts corresponding to the values finally established shall be resettled. 118 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 Concentration of Income The majority of Transelec Norte’s revenues come from the companies Gas Atacama Generación Ltda. (GasAtacama) and Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A. (CELTA). A significant change in the financial position of these companies could potentially have a negative impact on Transelec Norte. Exposure to Exchange Rate Variations Since the Company maintains its accounting and manages its main financial commitments and income in U.S. dollars, it is not significantly exposed to foreign exchange variation risks. The application of Environmental Standards and/or Policies could negatively affect Transelec Norte. The operations of Transelec Norte are subject to Law No. 19.300 on Chilean environment (“Environmental Law”), enacted in 1994, which was modified in 2010. The Environmental Law states that all those who develop high voltage transmission line projects and substations or their modifications, should be subject to the Environmental Impact Evaluation System (“SEIA”) and perform Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) or Environmental Impact Statements (DIA) and present them to the new Environmental Evaluation Service. As stated above, the environmental law has been modified and this situation has resulted in changes in the environmental institutional structure as new environmental management instruments have been created and the existing ones have been modified; therefore, Transelec Norte shall adjust to these new environmental requirements. According to recent modifications, among other matters, a new institutional scheme was created comprised of: (i) the Ministry of Environmental Affairs; (ii) the Minister Council for Sustainability; (iii) the Environmental Evaluation Service; and (iv) the Superintendence of Environmental Affairs; these institutions are in charge of the regulation, evaluation and inspection of the activities involving environmental impacts. These new institutions replaced the National Commission of Environmental Affairs (“CONAMA”) and the Regional Commissions of Environmental Affairs and are fully operative except for: (i) the inspection and penalizing capacity of the Superintendence of Environmental Affairs, which is subject to the creation of the Environmental Courts; and (ii) new requirements for the Environmental Impact Studies and Statements and new powers to the environmental institutions, which will become effective through a Regulation that has not yet been reviewed by the National Comptroller’s Office. 119 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 Notwithstanding that Transelec Norte meets the environmental requirements of the environmental law, it is not possible to assure that these filings (EIA o DIA) before the environmental authority will be approved by government authorities or that the possible public opposition will note cause delays or modifications in the proposed projects, or that the laws and regulations will not change or will be interpreted in a way that may adversely affect the company’s operations and plans, as the new institutional structure is just in progress. Financial risk The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of holding financial instruments: market risks (interest rate risk; exchange rate risk and other prices that have an impact on the market values of the financial instruments), credit risk and liquidity risk. The following is a description of these risks and their management: Market risk For this purposes, market risk is defined as the risk that the fair value or future flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in the market prices. The market risk includes the risk of changes in interest rates, exchange rates and changes in market prices due to factors other than the interest rates or exchange rates such as the price of shares, raw materials or credit differences. The Company’s treasury policy regulates the investments and indebtedness by trying to limit the impact of the changes on the valuation of currencies and the interest rates on company’s net income by means of: a) The investment of cash surpluses in instruments whose maturity dates do not exceed 90 days. b) The subscription of forwards and other instruments in order to maintain a balanced position of change. c) Long-term financing granted by its parent company Transelec S.A. at a fixed rate. Interest rate risks On assets: given that the average term for recovering investments does not exceed 45 days, the impact of the variations in interest rates on the Company’s net income is not significant. 120 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 Liabilities: as of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have any significant financial liabilities except for a fixed-rate loan from its indirect parent Transelec Holdings Rentas Limitada, therefore, the variations in interest rates do not affect its net income. Foreign exchange risk The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and most of its transactions are made in this currency. The exposure to foreign exchange risk for transactions expressed in other currencies (primarily the Chilean peso) is minimal. In terms of currency matching, the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 presents a net liability in Chilean pesos equivalent to US$ 2.3 million. This exposure results in a foreign currency exchange difference of approximately US$45 thousand for every Ch$10 of variation in the parity Chilean peso – U.S. dollar. Credit risk corresponding to accounts receivable from commercial activities is historically very low due to the nature of the business of the Company’s clients and the short term of collection to clients, which explain the fact of not having large accumulated amounts. However, there is concentration of transmission revenues, given that 76.6%(determined based on the invoicing basis) of the Company’s revenues are from two main clients. Notwithstanding, given the energy flow compensation mechanisms in the system, this percentage could be lower. In regards to the risk of investment of cash surpluses, they can be invested in banks or financial institutions with limits established by each entity in accordance with the capital and risk classification of each financial entity, in terms that do not exceed 90 days. Liquidity risk a) Risk related to the Company’s management Liquidity risk refers to the Company not being able to meet the demand for cash or payment on a maturing debt. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. To guarantee its ability to react quickly to investing opportunities as well as paying obligations on maturity dates, the Company keeps a high level of liquidity. The main source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents as well as accounts receivable. On the other hand, the Company has a line of credit granted by its parent company Transelec S.A.; this line of credit allows facing any cash needs. 121 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 b) Risk related to the resettlement of revenues from tariffs of the trunk transmission system In virtue of DFL N°4/20.018 of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruction, in articles 81, 101, 104 and 106, and supplementary provisions, Transelec Norte is entitled to provisionally receive the actual revenues from tariffs of the trunk system generated in each period. In order for Transelec to collect its remuneration, which is established in subsection one, article No.101 of the aforementioned DFL N°4/20.018, it resettles, on a monthly basis, the revenues from tariffs provisionally received in conformity with the payment schemes prepared by the corresponding CDEC (Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga) through the collection or payment of the different companies that own generation means. The Company may face the risk of not collecting, on a timely basis, the revenues from some of the companies that own generation means established in the payment schemes of the CDEC, which may temporarily affect the Company’s liquidity position. In this sense and in the Company’s opinion, the activity performed by Transelec Norte in regard to the aforementioned collection does not refer to the collection of its own balances receivable but relate to the collection of amounts and payments to third parties of loans and debt obligations of others and which, except for expected revenue from tariffs, belong to the generating companies. 122 TRANSELEC NORTE S.A.
