Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to submit the 2011 Annual Report.
Regarding the consolidated outcome at December 2011, it reached profits for $15
thousand 354 million 326 thousand, and shows a decrease of 11.2% compared to
December 2010. The decrease of the outcome of 2011, compared to 2010, is of 1
thousand 938 million and 861 thousand Chilean pesos. Although the EBITDA was
3% higher than the previous year due to greater ordinary income, the significant
drop of the global result is explained by a greater loss per adjustment unit (UF), when
going from an UF variation of 2.45% in 2010 to 3.91% in 2011. This effect has caused
a decrease in the outcome of the company for this item of -3 thousand 365 million
and 363 thousand pesos.
It is important to mention that the company has continued to make substantial
investments that reached $25 thousand 545 million pesos, out of which 8 thousand
257 million correspond to Aguas del Valle. Said investments have mainly been aimed
at improving the current infrastructure and at increasing the water resources to
mitigate the effects of a severe draught that has been affecting us for the last three
years.
As you know, this financial year was affected by the persistence of this water
shortage, which forced the company to double their human and material efforts to
provide a normal supply of drinking water to the community.
Regarding this matter, there are some considerations I would like to express. First,
I would like to thank you, in my name and on behalf of the Board of Directors,
for the personnel’s effort and for the hard work that has meant to supply all the
communities under very difficult conditions, which will probably continue in the
future. Second, we are pleased to report that no franchise area had any problems
due to the water shortage in 2011. In this respect, the company permanently
performed in a preventive manner and developed strong alternatives, broadening
and interconnection works.

Curauma, Placilla, and the high areas of Playa Ancha, are examples of the
success of these efforts that had to stop being fed from the plant located
at Embalse Peñuelas, due to the dramatic decrease of its reserves, which
were practically not used.
In order to face this situation, we had worked in advance in the
interconnection of the resources existing at Las Vegas Plant, 100
kilometers away; also, Concón Plant, more than 50 kilometers away,
which became the new supply sources for said areas.
Simultaneously, the Productive System of Concón was increased in
250 liters per second and, by means of an agreement with national
and regional authorities and the people who irrigate, it was possible
to reinforce Los Aromos level, with the contribution of 10 wells located
in the surroundings of Llay Llay. As a result, the supply for Concón and
the North Coast was guaranteed; also, some areas of Viña del Mar and
Valparaíso, including the aforementioned areas of Curauma and Placilla.
Also, a decanter in the Productive System of Poza Azul (Quilpué) was
built to increase the treatment capacity from 301/s to 801/s. Likewise,
the conduction system from Cachagua to Zapallar was reinforced, so,
all the North Coast, including Papudo, from 2011, is supplied from the
Concón plant, as mentioned in the previous paragraph.
In total, during this financial year, as a result from the draught, Esval
allocated more than 6 thousand 300 million Chilean pesos to expenses
and investment.
I also want to say that, in 2011 there were important changes in the
senior administration of the company, because the former Chairman of
the Board of Directors, Mr. Pedro Pablo Errázuriz Domínguez, and former
CEO, Mr. Gustavo González Doorman, submitted their resignation to
take on other positions. We thank both for their effort and for their
commitment to the growth of Esval.
On last 1 October, Mr. Rodrigo Azócar took on as the company’s CEO.
Given his broad professional experience, I am sure he will boost the
modernization the company requires now. The Board of Directors
wishes him and his work team the greatest success.
As our shareholders know, once the construction of the great works was
over, we dedicated to the renewal and broadening of the networks. In
this context, one of the main works we carried out was the renewal of
the water main of Alemania Avenue, between Las Cañas and Mariposas
Hills, with an extension of 2,678 meters and with an investment of
$1,741 million.
Additionally, and with an investment above 754 million Chilean pesos,
the strengthening of the drinking water San Antonio-Algarrobo net
was carried out. A water main was renewed and enlarged in 1,247 lineal
meters to increase the availability of drinking water in 15% for the South
Coast.
It is also worth highlighting that we advanced six years of investments
above 500 million Chilean pesos to change the drinking water matrices
and the waste water collectors of Concepción and Alegre hills. In order
to do so we entered into an agreement with the Recovery and Urban
ANNUAL REPORT

Development Program of Valparaíso (PRDUV, in Spanish), the Honorable
Municipality of Valparaíso and Serviu (Housing and Urbanism Service).
We think it was a very good decision to join this urban remodeling
project with the modernization of the sanitary infrastructure, because
it will boost tourism and the services for these historical neighborhoods
of our city.
Finally, I want to thank my Board of Directors’ colleagues, and the
shareholders, who trusted me to chair this important company in the
V Region and Aguas del Valle, of IV Region. Therefore, I will continue
working to add value to the company and to contribute with the best
of all the team to the development of the Valparaíso and Coquimbo
regions.

Messrs Shareholders,
As CEO of Esval, I am pleased to inform you about the most relevant events occurred during
financial year 2011, which, as the Chairman of the Board of Directors said, was marked by
complex situations arising from the water shortage that is affecting the Valparaíso Region.
In this situation, the company acted with diligence and precaution, without sparing any
resources or efforts, and was able to comply with their usual customers and with the
thousands of tourists that arrived to the region to enjoy the beaches, rivers, mountains and
countryside.
It was not an easy task, as my arrival to the company coincided with the end of the winter,
when the Aconcagua River flow had decreased 87% with respect to a normal year. For this
reason, I would like to leave on record the dedication and responsibility of the company’s
personnel, especially those who were on the front line of the draught; also, of the authorities
and representatives of the private area, with whom I found, from the first moment, a
commendable collaboration spirit to face an extremely complex situation. This allowed us
to face summer 2011-2012 without any important stress and to make sure that every home
and family of the V Region had a secure and continuous supply.
As from the last quarter of 2011, we have been working on the update of the Strategic
Plan, focusing each and every worker on our clients, to be acknowledged for the service
quality, closeness, empathy, credibility, regional leadership and care for the environment,
closing relationships with the community and the authorities. This was made with a longterm perspective of increasing our operations level and margin, thus adding value to our
shareholders.
Together with the aforementioned, in the different areas an administration analysis was
carried out in order to detect the most important risks at an earlier stage to determine its
possible impact and mitigation measures.

As part of the improvement and update of the company’s practices, in
the internal order we also work for the re-certification of our Integrated
Management System, that includes ISO 9001: 2008 (Quality Management
System), OHSAS 18:2007 (Occupational Safety and Health Management
System) and ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management System) for
the next three years.
In the labor aspect, within the deadlines established by the law and at
the fullest satisfaction of the parties, in 2011 we signed the collective
bargaining contract that will be in force for the next two years. This
shows the good understanding between the company’s administration
and their workers.
As the shareholders know, Esval has a relationship policy with the
community that is acknowledged everywhere. Campaign “Agua Sana
Vida Sana” [Healthy Water, Healthy Life] and “Las Gotitas” [The Droplets]
are known in countless cultural, educational, sport and social activities,
and, in 2011, the campaigns directly contacted more than 237 thousand
people, in almost 1,250 activities.
In this respect, I would like to highlight that in 2011 we made an
important effort to de-centralize the activities and so this is how the
launching of the Campaign was carried out in Valparaíso, but also in
Las Cruces, Algarrobo and San Antonio. We were also in San Felipe and
Los Andes for the official presentation of the III Sustainability Report.
Additionally, we prepared Training Seminars, to which 415 social leaders
of Marga Marga, San Antonio and Valparaíso Provinces attended.
We carried out 45 Workshops with municipalities, neighbors, public
entities and others, to deal with situations related with drinking water,
draught and others. We also continued with the implementation of
program Al Día con Esval, and during this financial year we carried out a
ceremony to acknowledge 100 new clients that satisfactorily complied
with the commitments undertaken.
We supported new sport activities, stimulating the participants
and arranging the delivery of water in hydration points. We directly
participated in the sponsoring of two relevant ones: The Full Marathon
of Viña del Mar, which summoned thousands of runners; and the
cycling event “A Pedalear por San Felipe” [Pedal for San Felipe] organized
together with Instituto Nacional del Deporte, the Province Governorship
and the Honorable Municipality.

In the cultural scenario, we received more than 3 thousand 400 hundred
papers from schools from all the corners of the Region for the Painting
Contest, with which, year by year, we select the motifs that are later
printed in the company’s Christmas cards. For the seventh year in a
row, we made contributions for the realization of the Science and
Technology Regional Congress, organized by Explora Conicyt and the
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, among other activities.
Messrs shareholders, we are aware of the difficult times we are
undergoing due to the draught that is affecting different human and
economic activities. We hope to win through once more, with the
support of the company’s Board of Directors, its workers, suppliers and
contractors. I am clear of the commitment we have with the Valparaíso
and Coquimbo Regions, and we will continue making our best efforts to
contribute to the wellness and prosperity of their inhabitants.

ANNUAL REPORT

The Chilean Development Agency and the Chilean Treasury constituted Esval S.A. (hereinafter
“Esval” or the “Company”) in 1989 under law No 18.777.
In December 1998, Esval was the first sanitary company to open to the process of
incorporating private capital, considered in law 19.459, by a bidding process. Aguas Puerto
S.A., company formed, at that time, by Enersis Group (72%) and Anglian Water Chile Ltda.
(28%), affiliate of Anglian Water Inc. (hereinafter “Anglian Water”) from UK, was awarded 40%
of Esval’s property. The property transfer and take-over on the part of Aguas Puerto S.A. were
carried out on 15 April 1999.
On 4 August 2000, Anglian Water bought their share in Aguas Puerto S.A. from Enersis Group,
becoming the controller of the Company. By the end of 2000, a 25,063 million Chilean pesos
capital increase was carried out, which consisted in the issuance of 541,559,555 shares, in
order to finance the early termination of the Investment Management Agreeement between
Esval and Aguas Quinta S.A. With the shares subscribed, Aguas Puerto S.A. remained with
49.82% of Esval’s property.
On 12 November 2003, Consorcio Financiero S.A. signed a share purchase agreement by
means of which they bought from Aguas Puerto S.A. 1,484,000,000 Esval series A shares,
accounting for 44.78% of their issued shares; therefore, the take-over by Consorcio Financiero
S.A. materialized that same day.
On 14 November 2003, through public writ of Accountability and Release between
Consorcio Financiero S.A. and Proyectos e Inversiones Longovilo S.A., BP S.A., Inversiones
Teval S.A., Consorcio Inversiones Limitada and Compañía de Seguros Generales Consorcio

holder of 22.7% of Consorcio Financiero S.A. and Altas Cumbres S.A.
holder of 25% of Consorcio Financiero S.A.
On 25 November 2003, Esval was awarded, for a 30 years period, the
right of exploitation of the water treatment concessions operated by
Essco S.A., water treatment plant of the 4th Region, for UF 3,177,000 VAT
included, through their affiliate Aguas del Valle S.A. Thus, Esval achieved
a market share close to 17% of the customers of that area in the
country. In January 2004, share transfers subscribed by Cía. de Seguros
Generales Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A. by the end of 2003 were
recorded in the shareholder registry, in virtue of which, the company
was completely clear of all their shares; Compañía de Seguros de Vida
CN Life S.A. purchased 110,000,000 shares, and Compañía de Seguros de
Vida Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A. 130,000,000 shares. These last
two companies are controlled by Consorcio Financiero S.A.
In Extraordinary Meeting on 23 January 2004, it was agreed to increase
the capital in $24,136 million, with the issuance of 462,372,090 payment
shares, to partly finance the payment of the contract price, by which
Esval S.A. obtained the right to exploit the sanitary concessions held by
Essco S.A. in the Region of Coquimbo.
The capital increase was signed in a 92.27%, with which Esval’s signed
and paid capital is TH$162,384,714.- After the capital increase, Esval S.A.’s
controller was constituted by Consorcio Corredores de Bolsa (4.34%), CN

(10.37%), BP S.A. (1.0%), and Inversiones Teval S.A. (10.37%), with 49.00%
of Esval S.A.’s shares.
On 18 November 2007, Inversiones OTPPB Chile III Limitada and
Westwater Investments Limited published a notification establishing
a Takeover bid (in Spanish Oferta Pública de Adquisición, OPA) for all
Esval’s series “A” shares, including series B shares that may have been
exchanged for series A shares, by virtue of what the social statutes states.
In order to declare the takeover bid as successful, Esval shareholders
had to agree, in an Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting, on a reform
of their statutes, which consisted in modifying the denomination and
distribution of the shares in which the social capital is divided in, without
increasing the latter, so that the capital is divided in three new share
series, called Series A, B and C.
On 12 December 2007, Esval’s Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting was
held, which was called to discuss all the modifications to the statutes of
incorporation, under the terms requested by the bidders. Among other
matters, they agreed to increase the number of shares in which the
capital of the Company is divided, 3,740,569,084 to 14,962,276,336,000,
without increasing the social capital, under the following terms: (i)
Series A and B shares were withdrawn and new series A, B and C shares
were created; (ii) the new series A and B shares keep all the rights and
privileges, respectively, that the old series A and B shares had; (iii) the
new series C shares do not have the right to chose directors, but they
will have the privilege of calling an extraordinary shareholder meeting,
when they request it so, at least 5% of these shares. The aforementioned
preference and limitation were established for a period of 5 years as
from 12 December 2007, which were renewed for a new period of 5
years as from 26 August 2011, according to what was established in the
General Shareholder’s Meeting held that day.
All the new shares, no matter the series they belong to, participate
in the profits and other economic rights on equal terms. In Esval’s
Extraordinary Shareholder’s meeting held on 12 December 2007, the
exchange between the old series A and B shares and the new series
A, B and C shares was approved, according to which the shareholders
received a new series A or B share for each series A or B they had, plus
ANNUAL REPORT

3,999 of the new series C shares. Also, they provided that the allocation
of the new shares and their update in the Shareholder Registry had to be
carried out at the closing day of the publication of the result notification
that states the takeover bid as successful. The record of the meeting was
prepared as public writ of the same date in the notary of Valparaíso of
Mr. Eduardo Bravo Ubilla and a summary of said writ was published in

Line of business
and Activities
Esval is a drinking water production and distribution company engaged
in the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater, which also
renders services regarding said activities, under the conditions stated by
the Law authorizing its creation and other applicable norms.
The operational territory of the Company includes the urban areas of
the Region of Valparaíso, which former Empresa de Obras Sanitarias
of the Region used to attended until 27 January 1986 - except the
areas franchised to private or municipal services - plus the expansion
areas included within the development plans approved by the
Superintendence of Sanitary Services, according to what is stipulated
by Law No. 18.777 and decree No. 2.166/78 and 69/89 of the Ministry
of Public Works.
Additionally, the company renders drinking water services to other
locations outside the awarded area in the commune of Algarrobo
based on agreements signed with the communities of Algarrobo Norte,
Mirasol and Las Brisas.
On 25 November 2003, Esval took over, by public bidding, the right of
exploitation for 30 years of the awardings, holder of which is ECONSSA
CHILE S.A. (at that time ESSCO S.A.), water supply and sanitary company
of the Region of Coquimbo. For such effects, a subsidiary public limited
company was incorporated, called Aguas del Valle S.A., on 4 December
2003, under the regulations for joint-stock companies. Aguas del
Valle produces and distributes drinking water and collects, treats and
disposes wastewater. For this, it also renders services related to those
activities, under the terms stated in DFL No. 382 of 1988, of the Ministry
of Public Works, and other applicable norms.
The body that regulates the activity of Esval and the sanitary sector in
its totality is the Superintendence of Sanitary Services, created in 1990,
through Law No. 18.902, to guarantee the population that the rendering
of sanitary services - in terms of amount, quality and price - corresponds
to the one offered and can be maintained in the long term, and that
the water, once used, will be treated and disposed in keeping with
sustainable development.

Investment
2011
During this financial year, the Company continued to expand the
services of production and distribution of drinking water, collection and
decontamination of waste waters and maintenance of assets. For this,
investments for TH$ 18,640,370.- were made in the Region of Valparaíso.
Replacement of Avenida Alemania’s water main between Cerro Las
Cañas and Cerro Mariposas. This iron main with polyethylene inner and
outer coating, with a diameter of 700 millimeters, stretches for 2,678
meters. The works required an investment of $1,741 million, including
the installation of fire faucets, valves, air relief valves and drains in its
respective chambers.
Additionally, with an investment higher than 754 million Chilean pesos,
the reinforcement of San Antonio-Algarrobo’s drinking water piping
system was carried out. The work consisted in replacing and expanding
the 700 millimeter spun concrete water main stretch for a 900 and 800
mm iron pipe with a total length of 1,247 lineal meters. These works
were needed to increase the drinking water conduction capacity from
San Antonio to Algarrobo in order to back up the urban growth due to
the population increase and to face the increasingly growing demand
of drinking water in summer time. With this work, the availability of
drinking water increased in 15% for the South Coast area.
We must highlight the agreement signed by the Programa de
Recuperación y Desarrollo Urbano de Valparaíso (PRDUV) [Urban
Recuperation and Development Program for Valparaíso], the Illustrious
Municipality of Valparaíso, Serviu and Esval, to carry out the Public Spaces
Improvement Project in Cerro Alegre and Concepción. Upon request by
the authorities, Esval invested in six years over $500 million to change the
drinking water mains and the sewage water collector of these two world
heritage hills. During this financial year, several road paving, rainwater
collector improvement, lighting and landscaping works were financed
with contributions from Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID). It
was very wise to join urban redevelopment and sanitary infrastructure
modernization, because this will encourage tourism and the services
area in these historical neighborhoods of our city.
for the production of drinking water, increase of the pre and post

This work was carried out in a period of 150 days and its investment
amounted to $674,754,210.

this, specialized signs to help the visitors follow the route and understand
in a more didactic way the process and the importance of the works
carried out by Esval were installed in Concón’s drinking water plant.
To strengthen the relationship and contact with the community, Esval
participated together with other public services in several Service Fairs
in the region.

Rural Drinking Water Service
During 2011, the Directorate of Hydraulic Works extended in twelve
more months the agreement with ESVAL for technical assistance
and project management of rural drinking water systems projects.
Thus, the technical assistance has allowed assisting 150 rural drinking
water systems in 2011, benefiting an estimated population of
200,000 inhabitants. In 2011, 237 scheduled visits to the services were
performed. The purpose of this was to improve and consolidate their
management as well as to provide technical, administrative and financial
sustainability to the people in charge of management. Within the frame
of the technical assistance, it is worth mentioning the legal assistance
provided to the rural drinking water services, aimed at supporting the
users in regularizing their water rights, land titles and water concessions.
Thus, in 2011, 227 interviews with the technical assistance lawyer were
carried out, regularizing 8 water right issues, 5 properties and 6 water
concessions.
Additionally, seven unscheduled interventions to the services
were carried out in order to solve operational emergencies. These
interventions benefitted 8,000 people approximately.
We must also mention the training conferences provided to all the
services. In 2011, three training workshops were carried out – one in
each province of the 5th Region – with an attendance of 450 people
approximately. The core topic in the workshops was Economy in the
Management of the Drinking Water Resource.
Regarding the project management, new works and designs for an
investment amount of 860 million pesos financed by the Chilean State
were conducted. Among the works carried out are the construction of
two semi-buried pools and the installation of 8,100 meters of network,
with 170 new home drinking water connections.

Over time, this link has strengthened and today we can say that we are
working together, taking into account the needs of our clients and the
region, framed in a process of continuous improvement that we have
adopted as a cornerstone in the development of our business.
The campaign “Agua Sana, Vida Sana” is one of our on-site strongholds.
With 9 years of work experience, we have visited housewives, providing
information on the campaign, our activities and willingness to listen and
work together; to children in their school – thinking in them as future
generations – we have taught about the water resource and its different
and complex purification processes as well as about environmental care
and our key role as humans regarding this duty.
Only in 2011, the campaign “Agua Sana, Vida Sana” contacted 237,163
people and participated in 1,264 activities. They include massive activities
like: Family running and cycling events, communal fairs, street activities
for children, carnivals and artistic-cultural events, among others.
Among the sport activities carried out is the cycling event organized by
Esval “A Pedalear por San Felipe” [Pedal for San Felipe], which gathered
more than 600 people from San Felipe. In it, bikers of all ages gathered
in the Main Square of said city and enjoyed cycling along a stretch of
7.2 kilometers that included the city’s main avenues and streets with
hydration stations and refreshing points.
Another important event was Esval’s participation in the event Full
Maratón de Viña del Mar, a 5 and 10 K running event that gathered
thousands of runners along Viña del Mar’s coastline. Esval participated
as one of the main sponsors and with providing hydration points for
the runners.
During 2011, our campaign’ motto was “Contigo en Cada Gota”, an
expression that reflects the how important is water in our daily life and
the appreciation of this vital resource.
As a way of getting closer to the little ones, the visits of Las Gotitas to
schools this year brought an innovative element. This year they came
with games and a coloring book full of magic, which were well received
by the children, who learnt in a didactic and fun way how to take care of
the water, fire faucets and sanitary installations as well as how to recycle,
among other things.
The launching of this campaign was carried out in two important events
in 2011. The first one took place in school Juana Ross de Edwards in
Valparaíso, with the participation of Regional Secretariat of Education
Patricia Colarte and several other regional authorities. Same event was
also carried out in Las Cruces, San Antonio, with the participation of the
Mayor and many children of the area, who actively participated in the
event.

Risk Prevention, like in previous years, continues to perform a solidarity
surveillance job with the companies that render services by supporting
more risky works such as the entrance to confined spaces, mainly waste
water chambers. These support operations are carried out with special
equipments and staff trained to perform these works.
Continuous on-site inspections and check-ups to several works were
carried out in order to: 1.- Verify compliance with the safety standards,
2.- Notify the remarks to the company and 3.- Follow up the remarks
in order to check the solutions implemented. All of this was carried out
to have the works comply with Esval’s requirements in the contractual
basis regarding risk prevention.
In 2011, 9 employees had accidents, resulting in 183 days lost because
of accidents at work. In all the cases, the employees received timely and
due medical attention, had a satisfactory recuperation and returned to
their usual activities.
The accidents that caused more days lost were: A left leg exposed
fibula fracture occurred while trying to open a stuck manhole cover
hammering with chisel and sledgehammer. This caused the chisel to jet
off towards the worker’s leg, causing the injury. This accident resulted in
136 days of medical leave (74.3% out of the total); a worker had his left
hand trapped while replacing the retention valve of a pumping station.
The trapping occurred while disassembling the tripod used to move the
valve. The worker spent 17 days with medical leave (9.3%), and a worker
twisted her foot while approaching her workplace and stumbling with
a slot on the floor, twisting her ankle. This required 15 days of rest (8.2%).
The remaining accidents did not involve more than 6 days of lost days
and were mostly caused by falls or blows without serious consequences.
During the year, 1,846 man hours of training in Occupational Health and
Safety were carried out. This year, the chlorine gas safe handling course
was conducted in several sub-manager offices in the area for workers
and contractor staff.
During the year, the “Headquarters, Bustamante and San Ignacio offices
Health and Safety at work Joint Committee” was renewed and the
“South Coast Health and Safety at work Joint Committee” was formed.
This year, the amount of occupational accidents increased, with lost time
for the contractor companies, totalizing 75 accidents and 667 lost days.
Training
During 2011, 156 courses, seminars and workshops were given,
amounting to 17,363 man hours of training, corresponding to 2.25% of
the hours available in the year. This means that each employee of Esval
received, as an average, 48.45 hours of training along the year.
Out of the total training hours, 38.44% hours were conducted in the
Update Department. In this group, training courses such as Strategic
Planning, SAP Finance Module, Estimation of Remunerations, Drinking

In 2011, the Agreement with Clínica Reñaca was renewed. This alliance
allows offering a wide variety of benefits for medical care and cover for
the employees and their families, such as the preventive Health program.
We must also mention the Vaccination campaigns for the company’s
personnel against seasonal influenza and H1N1 in coordination with the
Medical Center of Caja 18 de Septiembre.
Outsourcing
Esval widened its commitment with the Quality, Environment and
Occupational Health and Safety Policy, establishing the need for:
“Gradually committing its contractors and suppliers so that their
performance regarding quality, environment, occupational health and
safety are consistent with the provisions of this policy in the activities
and services they render to the organization”.
Considering the importance of the relationship with contractors, the
Company gives clear and timely information regarding matters like
bidding processes, requirements and compliance as well as performance
assessments and requires from all the companies rendering services that
their processes be measured according to quality standards, stipulating
the termination of services and the requirements by the parties in a civil
contract.
To guarantee proper performance of the work plan with contractors,
Esval has a Contract Management System that centralizes the
administration of contracts and demands from them special compliance
with Esval’s Occupational Health and Safety Standards provided in the
Special Regulation for Contractors and Subcontractors; in addition, the
Company supports different training and updating programs.
In 2011, Esval started relationships with 52 contractors, thus generating
1,307 indirect full-time jobs.
Collective Bargaining
In August and September, the collective bargaining process with the three
unions of the company was conducted, reaching two collective agreements,
before the legal negotiation deadline expired, which will be in effect until 31
August 2013.
International Standards ISO 9.001,
ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001
The maintenance of managing systems certified under Quality standard
ISO 9.001, Environmental standard 14.001 and Occupational Health
and Safety standard OHSAS 18.001, which make up our Integrated
Management System, comprising all the activities of the Organization, is
one of the corner stones of our strategy.
In 2011, the commitment with the audit by an external institution,
Bureau Veritas, was renewed for a period of 3 years together with the
international certification of the 3 standards. This allow us to witness the
commitment signed by the executives and employees of submitting
our daily work to an external audit, six years ago, in the case of the
environment preservation activities, and three years ago, in the case of
the continuous effort focused on the client and safe work management
for our workers.

This year, several topic-specific training courses regarding Occupational
Health and Safety issues – in terms of gaps – such as Electric Risks or
Responsibility for serious or fatal accidents were conducted by specialists
in order to improve the safety at work for in-house and contractor staff.
We carried out the important work of making the Managers and
Supervisors aware of their responsibilities in safekeeping the safety of
their workers they are in charge of and the consequences of serious of
fatal accidents.
In 2011, 6 employees had accidents with minor injuries resulting in
111 days lost in the year. In all the cases, the employees received due
medical attention, recovered satisfactorily and their cases generated
preventive actions.
Meetings with the Health and Safety specialists of the contractors were
coordinated in order to standardize work criteria and methods regarding
Occupational Health and Safety.
The accidents that caused more days lost were: A car crash causing a
wrist injury to a worker, leading to 65 days of medical leave (58.56%) and
a fall while the worker was descending from the rear of a truck, in which
the worker twisted his right foot, causing muscular tear that required 30
days of medical leave (27.03%). The rest of the accidents are mainly falls
and twisting incidents that do not exceed 5 lost days and had no serious
consequences.
In May, for the third consecutive year, Aguas del Valle together with the
Joint Committees, participated in the “Month of Occupational Health

scheduled visits to the services were performed. The purpose of this
was to improve and consolidate their management as well as to provide
technical, administrative and financial sustainability to the people in
charge of management. Framed under the technical assistance, it is
worth mentioning that the legal assistance provided to the rural drinking
water services, aimed at supporting the users in regularizing their water
rights, land titles and water concessions. Thus, in 2011, 43 interviews
with the technical assistance lawyer were carried out, regularizing 16
water right issues, 18 properties and 5 water concessions.

Consolidated Annual Report 1
In 2011, the ordinary income increased in 8.2%, from M$ 109.552 in 2010
to M$ 118.565 in 2011. This can be explained by an increase of the mean
rate and a greater consumption of drinking water and sewage services
compared to the former year.
The EBITDA (calculated as the incomes of the ordinary activities less
the costs for raw materials and consumables used, for benefits for the
employees and other expenses, per nature) increased 3.1%, reaching
M$61,078. These EBITDA costs increased 14.2%, with greater expenses
in Services for $4,627 million (21.9%) and Energy and Fuels for $1,196
million (17.2%) mainly due to the effects of the draught.
The Non-Operational component of the Income Statement decreased
21.3%, from M$18,684 recorded in 2010 to M$22,660 in 2011, mainly
because of a greater re-evaluation of the financial debt than the
previous year. As at December 2011, the UF increased 3.9% versus 2010,
when it value decreased 2.4%.
The Net Result of 2011 was M$15,354, 11.2% less than that recorded in

Notes To The Consolidated
Financial Statements
1. General Information
Esval S.A. and its subsidiaries make up the Esval Group. Its legal domicile is Cochrane 751,
Valparaiso, Chile and its taxpayer number is 89.900.400-0
Esval SA. was incorporated as a corporation by means of a public deed dated June 12,
1989, in Santiago, drawn up and executed before Notary Public Raúl Undurraga Laso. An
excerpt of its by-laws was published in the Official Gazette on June 15, 1989, and it was
registered on page (verso) 449, No. 469 of the 1989 Business Register. It is also registered
with the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance under registration number 0348, and,
therefore, is subject to inspection by that Superintendency.
The Company’s corporate purpose is to produce and distribute drinking water and to
collect, treat and dispose of sewage. Additionally, it renders other services related to such
activities, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions stipulated in the law that
authorized its incorporation and any other applicable regulations. With the exception of
sectors granted to private or municipal services, the Company currently maintains the rights
of distribution throughout the urban areas of the Valparaiso Region previously serviced by
the Region’s former Sanitation Company as of January 27, 1986, in addition to expansion
zones considered in the development plans of the Ministry of Public Works approved by the
Superintendendency of Sanitary Services, as stipulated in Law 18777 and decrees 2166/78
and 69/89. The Company’s service area additionally includes urban locations whose sanitary
concessions have been awarded to Esval S.A. by the Authorities after that date, either by
regularizing the expansion areas considered in its development plans or by expanding its
concession zones. The Company also provides drinking water services in other locations,
outside the concession area, in the Community of Algarrobo, based on agreements signed
with the communities of Algarrobo Norte, Mirasol and Las Brisas.
On November 25, 2003, in a competitive bidding, the Company was awarded the right to
exploit the concessions held by ECCONSA CHILE S.A. (at that time ESSCO S.A.), the sanitary
company in the Region of Coquimbo, for 30 years. To that end, it incorporated a closelyheld subsidiary corporation called Aguas del Valle S.A., on December 4, 2003, registered
under number 88 of the Special Record of Reporting Entities (REEI) of the Superintendency
of Securities and Insurance, which is therefore subject to the inspection of such
Superintendency. Aguas del Valle produces and distributes drinking water, and collects,
The direct controlling entity is Inversiones OTPPB Chile III Limitada, which is in turn is
controlled by Inversiones Southwater Limitada (“ISL”), a subsidiary of AndesCan SpA., an
investment vehicle in Chile of the Canadian institution Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board
(OTPPB).

The information contained in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility
of the Company’s Board of Directors who expressly states that the principles and criteria
included in IFRS have been fully applied.
ANNUAL REPORT
In preparing these financial statements the following estimates have been used:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Vida útil de activos fijos e intangibles
Losses for impairment of assets
Assumptions used in the actuarial calculation of employee benefits
Unbilled revenue estimates
Provisions for commitments with third parties
Risks arising from current litigations
These estimates and judgments were made based on the best information available about
the events analyzed as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. Any event that may occur in the
future requiring changes (upwards or downwards) in estimates in future years will be
recognized when they are known and the effects of such changes will be recognized within
the statement of income or equity accounts in the financial statements, as appropriate.
2.4 Accounting policies
The following are the main accounting principles which have been consistently applied in
the preparation and presentation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2011.
A. Basis for consolidation
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power to direct their financial
and operating policies. Such power is generally accompanied by ownership of more than
50% of the voting rights.
The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses
and results of the parent and the subsidiaries of Aguas del Valle S.A. and Servicios Sanitarios
Las Vegas Limitada.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the parent owns a 99% interest in Aguas del Valle S.A., and
99.99% interest in Servicios Sanitarios Las Vegas Limitada. Additionally, Servicios Sanitarios
Las Vegas Limitada owns a 1% interest in Aguas del Valle S.A.

The effects of transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated and the
ownership interest related to non-controlling shareholders is presented in the consolidated
financial statements under Non-controlling Interests.
The accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted
by the Parent.
B. Transactions and non-controlling interests
The Group´s transactions with non-controlling interests are considered transactions with
third parties unrelated to the Company.
C. Operating segments
The Group discloses information by segment in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments,
which establishes the reporting requirements for operating segments and disclosures related
to products and services. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for
which there is discrete financial information regularly reviewed by Management to make
decisions about resources to be allocated and assess their performance. The Group manages
and measures the performance of its operations by business segment. The following are the
operating segments internally reported:
• Operations related to transactions within the Valparaiso Region.
• Operations related to transactions within the Coquimbo Region.
D. Intangibles Assets
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize an identifiable intangible asset when they can
demonstrate that it is probable that the future economic benefits attributed to the asset will
flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.
ANNUAL REPORT
Tax ID
84
Esval S.A. and its subsidiaries measure their intangible assets using the cost model defined
in IAS 38.
ANNUAL REPORT
The main intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are water rights and easements,
whereas the main intangible assets with finite useful lives are the right to exploit the sanitary
concession in the Coquimbo Region, software applications and other rights.
In measuring water rights with indefinite useful lives, Esval and its subsidiaries have elected
to measured them at their fair value at December 31, 2008, defined as deemed cost at the
transition date to IFRS.
The remaining intangible assets with definite useful lives are measured at the price-level
restated acquisition cost, net of amortization, at December 31, 2008, which became the
attributed deemed cost, under the exemption allowed in IFRS 1.
The following factors, among others, should be considered in estimating the useful life:
•
•
•
•
Legal, regulatory or contractual limitations.
Foreseeable life of the business or industry.
Economic factors (obsolescence of the products, changes in demand).
Natural, climate and technology change factors affecting the ability to generate benefits.
The useful life may require modifications over time due to changes in estimates resulting
from changes in the assumptions related to the above factors.
Intangible assets with finite useful live
The amortization method applied by the Company reflects the pattern in which the asset’s
future economic benefits are expected to be used by the entity. To that end, the Company
uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
The main intangible asset with a finite useful life is the right to exploit the sanitary concession
in the Region of Coquimbo. Its initial useful life is for the term of the concession contract,
which is 30 years beginning in December of 2003. For software applications, the estimated
useful life determined is 4 years.
Assets related to the right of exploitation of the Sanitary Concession in the Coquimbo region
are additionally recognized as intangible assets which are amortized according to their
technical specifications and individually assigned.
The estimated useful life of software applications is 4 years. For other intangibles assets
with finite useful lives, the amortization period corresponds to the period established in the
contracts or rights from which they originate, which is 30 years in the case of the contract
related to the right of exploitation of the sanitary concession in the Coquimbo region.
Intangibles with indefinite useful lives:
These mainly related to water rights and easements, which were obtained for an indefinite
period.
The cost of some intangibles includes direct remunerations, consultancy services and other
inherent identifiable costs.
Service concessions:
The Aguas del Valle S.A. subsidiary owns the rights to exploit the sanitary concessions in the
Coquimbo Region that were awarded through a public bidding by Empresa de Servicios
Sanitarios de Coquimbo (ESSCO) (currently ECONSSA Chile Ltda.). These service concession
arrangements are measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRIC 12, Service
Concession Arrangements, as they correspond to public-to-private service concession
arrangements, where: (i) the grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must
provide with the infrastructure, to whom and at what price, and; (ii) the grantor controls
through ownership the beneficial entitlement or any other significant residual interest in the
infrastructure at the end of the term of the agreement.
The infrastructure under the scope of this Interpretation is not recognized as property, plant
and equipment of Aguas del Valle (the ‘operator’), independently from the degree at which
the operator assumes the incidental risk and rewards to ownership and regardless of which
party of the contracts has legal title to ownership during the agreement, given that the asset
is ‘controlled’ by the grantor. Rather, the operator recognizes a financial asset when it has an
unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset from the grantor (‘Financial
Asset Model’); and/or an intangible asset when it has a right to charge users of the public
service (‘Intangible Asset Model’). Under both models, the operator accounts for revenue
and costs related to the construction services in accordance with IAS 11, Construction
Contracts. Revenue and costs relating to operating services are accounted for in accordance
with IAS 18, Revenue. In addition, the contractual obligations establish that as a condition
of the concession received the operator should comply with the following: (a) maintain the
infrastructure to a specified level of operability, and (b) restore the infrastructure to a specified
condition before it is handed over to the grantor at the end of the concession agreement.
The contractual obligations to maintain or restore infrastructure shall be recognized and
measured in accordance with IAS 37, i.e. at the best estimate of the expenditure that
85
ANNUAL REPORT
Estimated useful lives or amortization rates used for identifiable intangible assets with finite
useful lives are as follows:
ANNUAL REPORT
86
would be required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Finally, in accordance with IAS 23, borrowing costs attributable to the arrangement shall be
recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred unless the operator has a
contractual right to receive an intangible asset (a right to charge users of the public service).
In this case, borrowing costs attributable to the arrangement shall be capitalized during the
construction phase of the arrangement. In conformity with the concession contract signed
by the Company, it has the right to recover the value of the investments that are not repaid
upon termination of the concession, generating an account receivable presented in the
item “Other non-current financial assets” and the detail shown in Note No. 12 “Other noncurrent financial assets”. An intangible asset has been recorded for the investments made (in
infrastructure) that shall be transferred to ECONSSA CHILE S.A. upon termination of the term
of the concession contract, or 30 years as of December 2003.
Information to be disclosed on internally generated intangible assets:
The Company does not have any internally-generated intangible assets.
E. Property, plant and equipment
Basis for measurement of property, plant and equipment:
The Company and its subsidiaries measure their property, plant and equipment under
the cost model in accordance with IAS 16. Nevertheless, upon first-time adoption of IFRS
certain land was revalued and that value was recognized at deemed cost. The historical cost
includes all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Expansion, modernization and improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity,
capability or efficiency or an increase in the useful lives of the assets are accounted for as
costs of the corresponding assets.
Direct remunerations, advisory fees and other inherent and identifiable costs as well as
borrowing costs are included in the cost of certain projects in progress.
Repair and maintenance costs are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are
incurred.
Borrowing costs incurred during the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized
over the period necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Other
borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.
Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the initial asset or are recognized
as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The
carrying amount of any item replaced is derecognized from the accounting records. All
other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period when they are incurred.
Due to the nature of the assets constructed by the Company and as there are no contractual
obligations, such as those mentioned in the IFRS, the recognition requirements for
dismantling costs are not applicable to the Company.
Depreciation method for property, plant and equipment:
The depreciation method used by the Company corresponds to the pattern in which the
asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity. In this regard,
the Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation over the technical useful life
of the asset, which has been determined by studies carried out by independent valuation
experts. The residual value and useful lives of the assets are reviewed and revised if necessary
at the end of each reporting period.
Estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment:
The useful lives considered in calculating depreciation were estimated via studies carried out
by independent valuation experts. Useful lives of assets are reviewed in the event that there
is any new information indicating that useful life of an asset might have changed.
87
ANNUAL REPORT
Construction works in progress are transferred to assets in service once the testing period
has been completed and the assets are available for use, which is the date depreciation of
the asset begins.
The useful lives applied by the Company are the following:

Useful life for other property, plant and quipament
The useful lives of the assets are determined based on several factors, which generally
include:
• Nature of the material components used in the equipment and construction
• Means of operation of the equipment
• Intensity of use
• Legal, regulatory or contractual limits on the use of the asset.
The Company and its subsidiaries depreciate their assets using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives.
Policy for disposal of property, plant and equipment:
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the net proceeds received and the carrying amount and is recognized
in comprehensive income. When disposing of assets measured at revalued amounts, the
revaluation surplus included in equity is transferred to retained earnings.
Policy for impairment of property, plant and equipment:
The Company and its subsidiaries, based on the results of the impairment test described
in Note 2.2.f, have determined that the carrying amount of assets does not exceed their
recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of assets is determined in accordance with IAS 16. Assets are tested
for impairment on an ongoing basis by estimating whether there will be sufficient future
economic benefits to cover all the costs including the depreciation of the property, plant
and equipment in accordance with IAS 36.
These assets mainly correspond to drinking and sewage water networks that are required
in order to provide sanitary services to newly incorporated customers. According to the
Sanitary Services Law, these assets neither represent assets of the sanitary companies for
purposes of establishing tariffs, nor do they give rise to any obligation for the Company with
those making such urbanizations.
Articles 36 to 43 and 53 of Decree Law No. 382/1998 of the Ministry of Public Works (the
General Law on Sanitary Services’) establish the responsibilities related to the installation,
for the developer, and also state that the sanitary service provider is responsible for the
maintenance and replacement of these assets.
The Company recognizes such assets at fair value and with a corresponding credit to a
complementary account named “Assets financed from developers”. The assets are recorded
as property, plant and equipment and the complementary accounts are amortized over the
same useful life associated with the corresponding assets.
F. Impairment of assets
Impairment of assets is determined based on the level of the related contribution expected
to generate financial resources for the company.
As such, based on performance of continuous service, the capacity to generate financial
resources in the Company is bundled within the operating assets, to form the aggregate
value of the “cash generating units” of Esval and Aguas del Valle, respectively.
In testing the above Cash Generating Units for impairment, the Company estimates the
present value of the expected future cash flows by using a discount rate that reflects
both the time value of money and the specific risks associated with the asset. The present
value amount is then compared to the carrying amount of the assets comprising the cash
generating unit.
Based on the comparison mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Company has
determined that the carrying amount of the assets composing the cash-generating units is
less than the present value of the expected future cash flows. Therefore, no impairment loss
has been recognized in the period.
When the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the difference is
recognized as an “Impairment loss of assets” in comprehensive income. Impairment losses
are reversed in the event of a change in estimate of the recoverable amount. Reversals of

Assets for Urbanizations:
Included in the line item for property, plant and equipment are payments made for
urbanizations financed by third parties in the development of their projects designed for the
purpose of connecting their customers to Esval S.A.’s sanitary service network.
90
impairment losses are recognized immediately in profit or loss by increasing the carrying
amount of the asset. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of
an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
G. Financial assets
ANNUAL REPORT
Current and non-current financial investments are classified in the following categories:
Financial assets held-for-trading
These are assets acquired principally for the purpose of generating benefits as a result of
fluctuations in their value. Financial assets included in this category are measured in the
consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized
as an expense or income in the income statement accounts, as appropriate.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are initially are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method.
Investments held-to-maturity
These are financial investments held by the Company until maturity. They are measured at
their amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets
These include all of Esval’s financial assets not included in the three previous categories.
These investments are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at
their fair value. Highly liquid short-term investments that are readily convertible into known
amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value, such as time
deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds, are considered as cash equivalents in
accordance with IAS 7.
H. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
I. Trade and other receivables
Policy for Uncollectible Accounts
The provision for uncollectible accounts is determined based on the following factors:
• Aging of the unpaid balance
• Type of customer
• Compliance with repayment agreements
The analysis of payment behavior from the different classes of debtors is affected by: i) the
classification as subsidized and non-subsidized debtors and ii) the fact that the Company is
legally entitled to suspend the service provided to customers who do not make payments.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced in the same amount as that increasing the
provision for uncollectible accounts that is recognized as an expense in the statement
of income within the line item “finance costs”. When a receivable is determined to be
uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for uncollectible accounts.
J. Basis of translation of foreign currency
Assets and liabilities in Unidades de Fomento (UF = inflation index-linked unit of account)
and/or foreign currencies are measured at each corresponding date as follows:
Currency

uncollectible receivables from third parties.
K. Financial obligations
92
Borrowings and bonds payable are initially recognized at their fair value, which corresponds
to the value of the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, they
are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
ANNUAL REPORT
L. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company has not entered into any derivative or hedging relationships.
M. Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are measured taking into account the best information available about events
and their probable outcome. Provisions are revised at the end of each reporting period. The
Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation of uncertain timing or
amount with third parties arising from past events for which it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence
will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent liabilities are not recognized
in the financial statements.
N. Unearned income
This item essentially includes amounts of cash received from customers or government
agencies to finance the construction or acquisition of certain facilities and, in some cases,
the facilities directly received from them.
These amounts are recorded as unearned income within the liability section in the
statement of financial position and are recognized through profit or loss over the useful life
of the corresponding assets within the line item “Other operating income”, thereby offsetting
depreciation expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
O. Income tax and deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities include all deductible and taxable temporary differences
arising from the differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their
tax base, as well as unused tax credits arising from taxable losses and other tax deductions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying the tax rate at which the
temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are only recognized to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be
available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Current tax assets and liabilities (in each consolidated company), as well as deferred taxes,
are offset in the consolidated statement of financial position.
P. Employee benefits
The Company recognizes in the financial statements obligations arising from employee
benefits included in collective or individual contract agreements.
The severance indemnity obligation recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial
statements corresponds to employees whose individual work contracts establish this
severance indemnity in any event and is recorded at the actuarial value. The positive or
negative effect on severance indemnities caused by changes in estimates or deviations in
turnover, mortality, early retirement due to dismissal, salary increases, inflation, discount rate
or number of employees is recognized directly in profit or loss.
93
ANNUAL REPORT
Income tax expense for the period includes both current tax from applying the tax regulations
on the taxable income for the year, once all applicable tax additions and deductions have
been made, as well as the variation in deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax credits arising
from taxable losses.
Q. Revenue and expenses
ANNUAL REPORT
94
Revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, which is when the transfer of the
goods or the rendering of the services takes place, regardless of when payment is made.
Revenue from regulated sales is recognized based on each customer’s reading and billing
consumption and is measured using the tariff rates stipulated in the respective decrees. Tariff
rates are applied over a five-year period plus an estimate of unbilled sales at the end of the
reporting period. The unbilled sales estimate is determined based on the proportion of the
last reading in each billing group and measured at the tariff rates effective at the end of the
period which is quarterly adjusted.
The Company’s service area is divided into billing groups, which determine the reading
dates and subsequent billing. This process is carried out based on a monthly calendar.
R. Environmental information
Assets of an environmental nature are considered to be those that are used on a permanent
manner in the Company’s activity and whose main purposes are to minimize adverse
environmental impacts and to protect and improve the environment, including the
reduction or elimination of any future contamination by the Group’s operations. For these
purposes the Company has an ISO 14.001 environmental certification.
S. Earnings-per-share
Basic earnings-per-share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributed to equity holders
of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Group has not
performed any kind of operation with potential dilutive effects that led to a diluted gain per
share differing from the basic earnings per share.
T. Dividends
Article 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law establishes that, unless otherwise unanimously
agreed in the respective shareholders’ meeting by all of the shares issued, corporations shall
distribute a cash dividend to their shareholders every year, on a pro rata basis to their shares
or in the proportion stipulated in the by-laws if there are any preferential shares, equivalent
to at least 30% of the net profits from each year, except when accumulated losses from prior
years need to be absorbed.
95
Interim and final dividends are recorded as a deduction to “Equity” when approved by the
respective body, which typically for interim dividends is the Company’s Board of Directors
and, and for final dividends is at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
ANNUAL REPORT
As of December 31, 2011, dividends payable is presented in the item “Other financial
liabilities, current” in the amount of ThCh$8,669,820 that will be paid in the months of
February 2012 (interim dividend decided in November 2011 for ThCh$3,740,569) and May
2012 (ThCh$4,929,251 determined in order to adjust in compliance with the dividend
distribution policy agreed upon by the Shareholders’ Meeting in 2011, under which the
Company is to distribute 80% of net income for the year, reduced by the interim dividends
paid in August 2011 for ThCh$3,740,569 and the dividend that will be paid in February 2012
of ThCh$3,740,569), as per the established in the dividends policy for 2011.
U. Statement of Cash Flows

the latter being understood as short-term highly liquid investments subject to a low risk of
changes in value.

During the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on August 26, 2011, an extension of five
additional years for the structure of the share capital established in the by-laws was agreed
upon. Under this structure, the Series C shares have the privilege to call for an Extraordinary
Shareholders’ Meeting upon the request of at least 5% of these shares, and they will not have
the right to choose Directors. Accordingly, the text of article five of the Social By-laws was
modified, informing the shareholders that this agreement grants to the rights of withdrawal,
as per the indicated in Law No. 18.046.
Due to this change of the by-laws, some shareholders have exercised their right for
withdrawal conferred to them in Article 69 of Law 18.046, for a total of 1,439,791 Series A
shares, and 2,383,059,200 Series C shares, paying them a total amount of ThCh$69,435, of
which ThCh$31,269 have been reduced from the account Paid-in Capital and ThCh$38,166
from the account Issuance Premium, considering that the value paid to the former
shareholders is higher than the book value of the shares.
This repurchase of shares was performed during October 2011. The mentioned shares, from
parting shareholders, are available for placement in the stock market as of January 1, 2012,

II. Financial Instrument Accounting Policies
B. Trade and other receivables policy:
Trade receivables, corresponding to billings for the consumption of drinking water, sewerage
services, sewage treatment and other services, are recorded at the net value of the estimate
for uncollectible or doubtful accounts.
Trade receivables are subject to the Company’s credit policy, which stipulates the terms
and conditions of payment, as well as the different scenarios to renegotiate with past due
customers. Interest on past due customers is also charged as required by the law.
C. Policy for uncollectible or doubtful accounts:
La estimación de deudores incobrables se efectúa a través de un análisis dependiendo de
The estimate of uncollectible accounts is made based on an aging analysis of the outstanding
receivables, their collection history, and collection of accounts receivable from customers
and other debtors, all of which are specifically identified.
The analysis for different groups of debtors’ behavior is affected by: i) the type of customer;
ii) classification between renegotiation or non-renegotiation term debtors; and iii) aging of
debt. A provision of 100% has been made for withdrawn or suspended customers.
D. Cash and cash equivalent policy:
Cash surpluses are invested in instruments with a high-risk rating standard.
101
ANNUAL REPORT
A. Hedging Instruments Policy:
The Group does not have any hedging instruments.
102
E. Bank overdraft policy:
The Company keeps lines of credit and overdraft facilities and/or working capital in banking
institutions for any possible cash shortages and to finance short-term working capital.
ANNUAL REPORT
There is also planning, supervision and follow- p in place for both short- and long-term
strategic and budgetary objectives to detect and, if applicable, correct any risks arising from
deviations that could affect achievement of the objectives.
The company invests in low risk instruments that meet the rating standards stipulated in
its investment policies. Thus, mutual investment funds must have an AAfm / M1 rating
(Units with a high protection against loss, associated with credit risks / units with the
lowest sensitivity to changes in economic conditions). Fixed term deposits and agreements
contracted are N-1 rated instruments (Instruments with the highest capacity to pay capital
and interest under the conditions and terms agreed to).
The institutions issuing these instruments are Banks or Bank subsidiaries with N-1 risk rating,
with instruments with at least an AA rating (with a very high capacity to pay the capital and
interest under the conditions and terms agreed to, which would not be significantly affected
by any possible changes in the issuer, the industry to which it belongs or the economy).
F. Dividend policy:
The dividend policy is approved every year at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.
G. Financial instrument policy:
The Group’s financial instruments consist of:
• Financial assets: Mutual funds are valued at fair value (fund unit), while fixed term
deposits, repurchase agreements and trade debtors and other receivables are measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
• Financial Liabilities: Bank borrowings, commercial papers, bonds, reimbursable
financial contributions (RFC) and trade and other payables are measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.
Financial instruments are subject to risk control policies, as specified below:
i. For liquidity risk, the Company keeps reasonable debt leverage, complying with the
financial covenants stipulated in its debt contracts. It maintains a local market risk rating
equivalent to AA- and AA for Bonds and N1 for commercial papers.
ii. Interest rate risk, resulting from possible impact on profit or loss from changes in interest
rates, is mitigated by the Company’s fixed rate debt structure.
ANNUAL REPORT
103
H. Basis for recognition and measurement of income
and expenses from financial assets and liabilities:
Instruments quoted actively in the market, whose market price is observable and which are
available to the general public, are measured at fair value.
Instruments with no active market are measured at cost.
I. Criterion to determine whether there is any objective
evidence of impairment loss:
Financial assets are assessed each period to determine whether there is any objective
evidence of impairment. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if there is objective
evidence indicating that one or more events have had a negative effect on the future cash
flow estimate for the asset.

maturities and there have been no renegotiations of debt.
B. Risks
B.1 Business Risk
The sanitary market is a regulated market, including the pricing processes for drinking water
distribution and sewer systems. The regulatory authority, in addition to establishing the
tariff rates, issues product and operating quality regulations that are necessary to provide
these services. The business risks are related to the current regulatory framework, where
the regulatory authority establishes tariff rates after a process of seeking optimal operations
and investment in each system, establishing tariff rates that allow the recovery of the initial
investment and the necessary costs to operate in agreement with current regulations.
B.2 Financial Risk
The principal objectives of financial risk management are ensuring the availability of funds
in order to comply with financial commitments, and protecting the economic flow of value
of the Group’s assets and liabilities.
Such management is performed by identifying risks, determining each risk’s tolerance,
hedging of such financial risks and controling established hedge operations. In order
to achieve the objectives, financial risk management is based on hedging all significant
exposures to the extent there are adequate instruments and the cost is reasonable.
In addition, financial risks exist related to the financing of investments, the recovery periods
of such investments, as well as the costs of financing.

i. Credit Risk
110
Credit risk refers to the possibility of financial loss from failing to discharge obligations by the
Company’s counterparties (customers).
ANNUAL REPORT
The Company has a dispersed market, which means that the credit risk of a particular
customer is not significant.
The objective is to maintain minimum levels of uncollectible amounts. There is a credit
policy in place stipulating the terms and conditions and methods of payment, and also
the terms and conditions for reaching agreements with past due customers. Management
has developed processes to control, estimate and evaluate uncollectible accounts for the
purpose of taking corrective actions to achieve the proposed fulfillments. One of the main
actions performed to maintain a low level of uncollectible accounts is the suspension of
the provision of services. The method of analysis is based on historical records of accounts
receivable from customers and other debtors.

ii. Liquidity risk
111
ANNUAL REPORT
Liquidity risk is the possibility of adverse market situations denying the Group access to
sources of financing and failure to finance its acquired commitments, such as long-term
investments and working capital needs, at reasonable market prices.
Management follows up on provisions for the Group’s liquidity reserve in light of expected
cash flows.
Various preventive measures, such as diversifying financing sources and instruments, are
used to manage liquidity risk.
Liquidity risk is controlled regularly so as to perceive, detect and correct deviations to
minimize any possible effects on profit or loss.

Methodology and assumptions used in determining fair value.
118
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is determined using the following methodology:
ANNUAL REPORT
The fair value of the financial assets (Trade debtors and other receivables and the Repurchase
agreements), as these are of short-term, is considered to be similar in value to the amortized
cost of such assets.
The fair value of trade and other payables, as these are short-term, is considered to be similar
in value to the amortized cost of such liabilities.
The fair value of bank loans is determined by comparison with investments in financial credit
institutions with similar characteristics, at the date of the financial statements.
The fair value of trade securities is determined by the value of the transactions of such
instruments published as of December 30, 2011 by the Superintendency of Pension Fund
Administrators.
The fair value of bonds is determined by the value of the transactions of these instruments
published in December of 2011 by the Santiago Stock Exchange.
As there exists no active market for these instruments and all transactions are not informed
to the public, the fair value of reimbursable financial contributions is determined based on
the following characteristics:
• Assimilation at market value of the J Bonds, as these have similar average rates and
company risk.
• Consideration of a higher risk effect of the J Bond, representing approximately 0.5% as
they do not count on backup clauses as those of J Bonds.

11. Impairment Of Assets
ANNUAL REPORT
128
Information to be disclosed on impairment of the value of the assets by cash generating unit:
Each Company separately, i.e. Esval S.A. y Aguas del Valle S.A., is defined as a Cash Generating
Unit, since each is individually capable of generating future economic benefits. As specified
in the standard, the Company will assess whether there is any indication of impairment of
the value of any asset at each year-end. If there is any such indication, the Company will
estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Indefinite-lived assets will be tested for
impairment at each year-end.
According to the impairment tests performed upon the first-time adoption of the
international standards, there was no impairment of either of the two companies.
Esval S.A. y Aguas del Valle S.A. perform annual impairment tests on their indefinite-lived
intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment.
The respective impairment tests were performed at December 31, 2011 and 2010 based on
the estimates and projections available to the Company, with no impairment occurring in
either of the Company’s two Cash Generating Units.

18. Ordinary Income
Revenue from all normal operations and other events is recorded at the fair value of the
payment received or receivable, in consideration of the terms and conditions of payment,
deductions and credit memorandums.
Revenue from the sale of services is measured at fair value. Invoicing is done based on actual
consumption or work performed, net of returns, trade discounts and deductions. Therefore,
revenue is recognized when it is transferred to the buyer, recovery is considered probable,
and associated costs and possible discounts for erroneous charges may be estimated reliably.
Information based on metered consumption readings is available for the various different
billing groups and the respective rate is applied to such consumption. When days of
consumption are left out of the reading at month-end, an estimate is made based on the
historical data from the prior month valued at the current rate, for which the rate for normal
or excess consumption is considered, as applicable. Any difference between current and
estimated consumption is adjusted in the following month.
The provisions for services and all of their associated collections are made according to
actual consumption, and a monthly provision is made for consumption readings based on
prior billings rather than actual billings.

Details of the explanation of measurements of profit or loss, assets and liabilities of each

The measurement applicable to each segment corresponds to the company directly related
to the respective region.
The accounting criterion is the accounting record of the economic events from which rights
and obligations arise in the same way as they arise in economic relations with third parties.
In particular, such records will generate committed balances in an asset and liability account
according to the nature of the transaction in each related company, in light of the segment
in which it participates. This account is known as Account due to or from Related Companies.
Upon consolidation such balances must be netted according to the same consolidation
rules explained in IAS 27.
