Accordingly, current assets and liabilities (short-term) are understood as such amounts that will be realizable or demandable, respectively, within a term not longer than one year. 2.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR INFLATION Until December 31, 2000, non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders’ equity, except for the surplus from revaluation of assets and Income Statement accounts, were monetarily updated on a prospective basis, using general consumer-price index (or Tax Year's Adjustment Percentages –PAAG, for its Spanish initials–). The respective adjustments were recorded in the income statement’s monetary correction account. As of January 1, 2001 the Colombian General Accounting Office –CGN–, through Resolution No. 364 of November 29, 2001, suspended the system of integral inflation adjustments for accounting effects, without reverting the inflation adjustments accounted until December 31, 2000. According to Resolution No. 041 of 2004 and to External Circular Letter No. 056 of 2004, issued by the Colombian General Accounting Office, inflation adjustment accounts were eliminated from the General Plan of Public Accounting as part of the cost, thereby obligating to incorporate accumulated amounts for adjustments until 2000. In order to comply with regulations in force, since 2001, integral inflation adjustments continue to be applied for tax effects, giving rise to differences that are recorded in the tax memorandum accounts. Law 1111 of 2006 derogated integral inflation adjustments for tax effects beginning in fiscal year 2007. (See Note 16.2). 2.4 MATERIALITY Recognition and presentation of economic facts are made according to their relative importance. An economic fact is material when due to its nature or amount, knowing or not knowing it, considering the circumstances, could significantly change the economic decisions of the users of that information. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, it was determined for presentation purposes that an event would be material if it represented 5% of total assets, current assets, total liabilities, current liabilities, working capital, equity, or income. 14 Annual Report 2009 NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES For the preparation and presentation of its financial statements, the Company, as required by law, observes the Public Accounting General Plan defined by the Colombian General Accounting Office –CGN–, the accounting regulations issued by the Superintendency of Domiciliary Public Utilities –SSPD– and other applicable regulation. For keeping, preservation and custody of the accounting books and supporting documents, the regulation applicable to support documents, vouchers, and accounting books, established by the Colombian General Accounting Office, is observed. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are identified, classified, registered, valued, prepared and disclosed in accordance with the accounting principles of the CGN contained in Resolutions No. 354, 355 and 356 of September 5 of 2007, through which the Public Accounting Regime was implemented to apply the criteria of international accounting standards currently being adopted by the CGN. Following is a description of the main accounting policies and practices adopted by the Company: 3.1 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND BALANCES Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the applicable exchange rates in force on the date of the transaction. At the close of each year, balances of assets and liabilities accounts are adjusted to current exchange rates (See Note 4). Exchange differences resulting from asset balances (other than controlled investments abroad) are recorded in the Income Statement. With regard to liability accounts, only exchange differences that are not imputable to costs of acquisition of assets are recorded in the Income Statement. Exchange differences imputable to the acquisition cost of assets include exchange differences while such assets are under construction or installation, and until they become operational. 3.2 CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows, marketable investments redeemable within the next 90 days are considered to be cash equivalents. 3.3 INVESTMENTS Investments are recorded at cost and are updated in accordance with the intention of realization, the availability of market information, and the degree of control held over the issuing entity by applying methodologies suitable to their economic reality. Methodologies to update their value include stock exchange quotes, net present value to determine market price or the security’s internal rate of return, the equity method, and the cost method. According to the new Public Accounting Regime, the Company’s investments, for matters of their valuation, are classified in three categories: i) liquidity management, including debt titles and securities, intended for profiting from short-term price fluctuations; ii) investments with a political purpose, including debt titles kept until maturity, or at least for one year from purchase date; iii) and equity investments, including securities in controlled and non-controlled companies. 15 Annual Report 2009 In the Consolidated Financial Statements, investments are classified as marketable and long-term, and they are reported respectively within current and non-current assets. The former include investments for liquidity management, and the latter for equity investments in controlled and noncontrolled companies. Investments for liquidity management Liquidity management investments in debt titles and securities, as well as derivatives intended for liquidity management, are initially recorded at cost and are updated monthly through methodology of the Colombian Financial Superintendency. Changes arising from each valuation made in investments for liquidity management are recognized in the income statement. Financial derivative instruments In order to reduce exposure to exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations of financial liabilities with local and international commercial banks and multilateral agencies and of bond issues, among others, the ISA’s companies use derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards and options. According to the rules issued by the Colombian General Accounting Office, derivative instruments for hedging purposes are recognized for the amount of the right or of the liability on the date of commencement of the contract, are monthly updated using methodologies of recognized technical value, and the difference is recorded as derivative valuation revenue or expense, as the case may be. Brazilian Comissão de Valores Mobiliários –CVM– issued 15 accounting rules that must be applied by companies in Brazil by the end of 2008; changes must be implemented by April 30, 2009 at the latest. Among other things, these rules provide that swaps must be valued considering the prices of the market where such financial instruments operate. Given the restrictions and duties imposed by CVM regarding derivatives in Brazil, ISA carried out the valuation of such swap considering that it is a right obtained with the purpose of hedging rather than speculation. Investments with a political purpose Investments with a political purpose include debt securities issued by local or foreign entities acquired in compliance with macroeconomic policies or the Company’s internal policies. Investments for compliance with macroeconomic policies correspond to debt titles acquired under agreed or mandatory subscription. Investments to comply with the entity’s internal policies include investments held to maturity and investments for sale, the latter understood as investments held for at least one (1) year. In both cases, the intention to hold the securities during the stated term, as well as the legal, contractual, financial and operative capacity, are required. Investments held to maturity are updated on the basis of the internal rate of return foreseen in the methodologies adopted by the Colombian Financial Superintendency. 16 Annual Report 2009 EQUITY INVESTMENTS a. Equity investment in controlled companies Equity investments in controlled companies include investments made in order to exercise or share control, as well as those in which the Company has substantial influence, and long-term investments in which the public sector holds over 50% direct or indirect participation. These investments are accounted through the equity method, according to CGN Resolution No. 356 of 2007, amended by Resolution 145 of 2008. Under the equity method, investment in subsidiaries and affiliates is recognized at cost, and is adjusted through: a) Credit or charge to the investment’s cost equal to the participation of the Company in profits and losses of the subsidiary, with a matching entry in the income statement. b) Credit or charge to the investment equal to the participation of the Company in the subsidiary’s equity variation with a matching entry in the surplus from equity method account, in the event of an increase; in the event of a decrease, as surplus from equity method until its exhaustion, and the remaining difference in the income statement. c) Credit or charge to the investment equal to the amount of dividends received from the subsidiary that correspond to periods during which, ISA applied the equity method. If the difference between intrinsic value and book value of the investment recorded on equity basis is: a) Positive, re-appraisal of assets is increased, and the revaluation surplus included in the equity accounts is credited. b) Negative, re-appraisal of assets is reduced with a charge to the revaluation surplus up to the amount available; any difference is recorded as a charge to equity surplus, until exhaustion. Any additional deficit is recognized in the income statement as a loss. Investments in subordinated companies abroad are recorded on the basis of their financial statements at December 31 of each year, translated into Colombian pesos, using the United States dollar as functional currency, applying the provisions of International Accounting Standard 21. Translation of financial statements into Colombian pesos was conducted in compliance with the following principles: Balance sheet items are calculated using the closing exchange rate; income statement items are calculated using the accumulated average exchange rate for each month closing; net effect with respect to closing rate is recognized as translation adjustment. b. Equity investments in non-controlled companies The other variable-income equity investments in non-controlled companies that are not listed in stock exchanges are recorded at cost plus the dividends received in shares. If at year’s end, the intrinsic value of investments is greater or lower than the book value, a charge is recorded in the re-appraisals account with a contra entry in re-appraisal surplus in equity, or a provision is charged to the income statement, respectively. 17 Annual Report 2009 3.4 ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS On each quarter’s closing date, the associated credit risk of the accounts receivable from customers and other debtors is examined in order to determine the respective provisions, which include percentages between 10% and 100%, according to aging analysis and evaluations of the collection of individual accounts. 3.5 INVENTORIES Inventories are recorded at cost, and at end of the year, through a provision charged to the income statement, are reduced to their sale value, if it is lower than their book value. Spare parts, materials and other consumables are valued by the weighted average method. 3.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, which, where relevant, may include: a) financing costs associated to acquisition and construction of assets not in operational conditions and b) until year 2000, inflation adjustments on costs, excluding capitalized exchange differences and the portion of capitalized interest corresponding to inflation. Sales and retirements of such assets are discharged at their respective net adjusted cost, and differences between sale price and net adjusted cost are recorded in the income statement. In 2009, the Company concluded and implemented the study of useful life by components, so as to comply with the attachment of Resolution 356 of 2007 of the Colombian General Accounting Office, establishing that depreciation and amortization must be calculated for each asset individually considered; however, when its components or parts have different useful lives, or provide economic or potential service benefits of different rhythms, depreciation shall be applied to each component. For the same year, TRANSELCA expanded the technical study on useful and remaining lives for each component or productive asset. Definition of components of the energy transmission system: A component of a fixed asset is an element that can be regarded as a part of another asset, but due to its own features, because of the function it serves, and the type of strategies or activities developed along its technical service life, can be treated as an independent asset. Materials with high inventory turnover shall not be classified as fixed assets. Based on CIGRE (International Council of Large Electric Systems) reference statistics and ISA’s experience in terms of transmission grid, the average useful life of transmission lines is estimated at a maximum of 63 years (2008: 40 years). Depreciation is calculated over the asset’s cost by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of assets. For the purpose of depreciation calculations, following is a list with the assets’ estimated useful life: 18 Annual Report 2009 Asset / Component Useful life Transmission lines Buildings Fiber optic Machinery and equipment Telecommunications equipment Furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment Communications equipment Transport, traction and lifting equipment Supervision and Switching Center's equipment Computer equipment and accessories 63 50 25 15 15 10 10 10 6 5 Substation Components Lines (Substations’ grounding nets) Power transformer PT Breaker CT Lightning arrester Diesel Plant SVC reactors Main breaker Reactor Mobile substation FS Battery Bank Charger SAS component Condensers SVC condensers Series compensation control SVC control Converter Inverter Telephone exchange PLC Sequence of events recorder Protection relays RTU Thunderstorm and lightning information system -SID Teleprotection SVC thyristor valve VQ 63 40 38 32 30 30 30 30 30 27 25 20 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 Maintenance expenditures of these assets are charged to the Income Statement, while improvements and additions are added to their costs, since they increase useful life, expand productive capacity and operational efficiency, improve service quality, and permit significant cost reduction. Repairs required because of attacks to the electric infrastructure are recorded as extraordinary expenses in the period when the attacks occur and do not increase the useful life originally assigned to the assets. Due to the difficulties to insure this type or risk, these damages are accrued in the financial statements as they occur and are not recorded on estimate basis. Real property intended for generation of revenues from rent is recorded as investment property. 19 Annual Report 2009 Assets not being used in operations are classified as non-exploited assets, and their depreciation is suspended. 3.7 DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS Deferred charges and other assets include prepaid expenses, deferred charges and other assets. Prepaid expenses include mainly monetary items such as insurance premiums and interest, which are amortized as they accrue. Deferred charges and other assets include goodwill from acquisition of longterm investments, cost of acquisition of software, easements, tax to preserve democratic security, bond underwriting commissions, legal stability agreement premium, licenses and rights, from which future and quantifiable economic benefits are expected to be obtained. It also includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between net income and tax income. Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over a maximum of three years. Goodwill, bond underwriting commissions, legal stability agreement premium, licenses and rights are amortized on a straight-line basis during the periods over which their benefits are expected to be received, according to the feasibility studies for their recovery. Charges for studies and research of projects in pre-operational stage will be treated as expenses and are not capitalized even when a subsequent decision is made as to execute the project and when the project is intended for internal purposes. Useful life of intangibles can be indefinite or finite; it is indefinite when there is no foreseeable limit for the period in which the asset is expected to generate future economic benefits; it is finite when the period during which economic benefits or service potential will be received can be estimated (see note 10). 3.8 RE-APPRAISALS Re-appraisals that are part of equity include: 3.8.1 The excess of the valuation (appraisals) of the main components of property, plant and equipment over per-books net cost. Such appraisals were determined by independent appraisers, in the case of real-estate property; by their market value, in the case of transport equipment; and based on technical studies developed by employees of the Company, in the case of other assets. These valuations shall be made at least every three years, or when market conditions indicate that such amounts have materially changed (See Note 11). 3.8.2 The excess of intrinsic value (equity value) of long-term investments over their net cost. 3.9 CURRENT INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX Income tax provision is calculated on the period’s ordinary net taxable income, which is obtained from relevant revenues, costs and expenses. The credit deferred tax is the lesser current tax calculated during the period, resulting from the excess of tax depreciation and amortization over perbooks depreciation and amortization, when useful life, depreciation and amortization methods for tax purposes differ from accounting ones, for which differences are expected to be reverted in the future. 20 Annual Report 2009 The debit deferred tax represents the temporary differences that have generated a higher amount of current income tax. Basically, this includes inflation adjustments on non-monetary depreciable and amortizable assets, balances of provisions for doubtful accounts, retirement payments to pensioners, and health, education and other benefits, among others, for which differences are expected to be reverted in the future. According to opinion No. 20061-57086 of CGN of January 31, 2006, the Company has autonomy in defining the accounting principles regarding deferred tax. Accordingly, ISA has considered, among others, inflation adjustments recognized only for tax effects of depreciable fixed assets, as temporary differences that result in the accrual of deferred tax, since these generate a greater monetary correction income tax, increasing the income tax payable, and are subsequently recovered during the following years as the fixed assets are depreciated. For Brazilian subsidiaries, interests on own equity are part of the income statement and are shown directly under net fiscal equity. For tax effects, they are treated as financial expenses, reducing the basis for income tax and social contributions for the period. 3.10 LABOR LIABILITIES Labor liabilities are adjusted at the end of each period on the basis of legal provisions and labor agreements in force. An actuarial study is conducted every year to determine pension liability, future health and education benefits and retirement payments to pensioners. Retirement pension payments are charged to the actuarial estimate account. With respect to amortization of retirement pension liabilities for Colombian subsidiaries, it must correspond to the value resulting from dividing the total actuarial estimate pending amortization by the number of years remaining to complete the term set by regulation in force, applicable to each particular entity, and counted from the actuarial estimate closing date. For ISA, maximum time provided for by regulation is 30 years starting on December 31, 1994. Regarding the methodology to amortize benefits and aids, the Company amortizes 100% of actuarial liabilities, closely following international accounting standards, as is the intention of the CGN. Accounting records for recognition of this liability and associated expenses are carried out in accounts different from those in which actuarial estimates are included. 3.11 SENIORITY COMPENSATION According to the legislation in force, seniority compensation of the personnel of the Energy Transmission Centers –CTE– of the subsidiaries Interconexión Eléctrica ISA Perú S.A. and Red de Energía del Perú S.A. –REP– is computed for all employees, for the amount of the indemnity rights and should be deposited in financial entities selected by the employee. 3.12 RECLASSIFICATIONS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2008 were reclassified to conform to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements for 2009. 21 Annual Report 2009 3.13 MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS Memorandum accounts include loans contracted but not disbursed, contingencies resulting from claims and lawsuits, and guarantees granted under loan agreements. They also include temporary and permanent differences between accounting and tax amounts, which will be reasonably reverted in time, and allow preparation of specific-purpose reports, respectively. Non-monetary memorandum accounts were adjusted for inflation until December 31 of 2000, with charge to a contra memorandum account. 3.14 RECOGNITION OF REVENUE, COSTS AND EXPENSES Revenue, costs and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Revenue from service provision is recognized during the contractual period or when services are rendered. At ISA, amounts received to remunerate recovery of investments in UPMES, as well as usage rights not accrued because their respective costs have not been yet incurred or because the related services have not been rendered yet, are recognized as deferred revenue. This deferred revenue is amortized over the periods along which it accrues. For XM, according to the provisions of laws 142 and 143 of 1994, it is the duty of the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission -CREG- to approve revenue from CND, ASIC and LAC services to be billed to market agents. Along the year 2008, resolutions 110 of 2006 and 048 of 2008 were applied until the month of May and as of the month of June, respectively. CREG Resolution 110 of 2006 provides for annual recognition of revenue from operation and investment costs necessary for service delivery, and remuneration of shareholders’ equity. CREG Resolution 048 establishes remuneration for the regulated services of XM S.A. E.S.P., for the next five years, defining, for each month, the Regulated Maximum Revenue as equal to the total of the following monthly items: operating expenses, investments, adjustment due to regulatory changes or to deviation in investment execution, and equity’s return margin. CREG Resolution 048 of 2008 entered into force in 2009, adjusted as of June by Resolution 071 of 2009, approving recognition of adjustment to maximum regulated income for higher expenses and investments coming from regulatory changes, legal fees expenses, and the effect on income tax of working capital recognized in the previous fiscal period. 3.15 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia requires some estimates that affect the values of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses reported for such periods. The actual result of certain items may differ from such estimates. 3.16 OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE LIMITATIONS AND DEFICIENCIES During 2009 and 2008, no operating or administrative limitations or deficiencies were found that would significantly affect the normal accounting processes, or the consistency and reliability of the accounting figures. 22 Annual Report 2009 3.17 CONTINGENCIES On the date financial statements are issued certain contingent conditions may exist which might result in a loss for the companies but are only resolved in the future when events actually take place. These contingencies are estimated by the management and its legal counsels. The estimation of loss contingencies is necessarily a matter of judgment and opinion. When estimating contingent losses in legal processes, legal counsels assess the merit of claims, related decisions, and the current state of processes, among other issues. If evaluation indicates that a material loss has probably occurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, it is then recorded in the financial statements. If evaluation indicates that loss is improbable but the result is uncertain, or if it is probable but its amount is impossible to estimate, then the nature of the contingency is disclosed in a note to the financial statements together with an estimate of the probable loss. Generally, loss contingencies estimated as remote are not recorded or disclosed. 23 Annual Report 2009 II. SPECIFIC NOTES NOTE 4: VALUATION OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION FOREIGN-CURRENCY OPERATIONS Current regulations permit free negotiation of foreign currencies through banks and other financial intermediaries, at exchange rates that fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand.

(3) Estimated liabilities of ISA and TRANSELCA, to show present value of future health, education and aging benefits recognized to pensioners. 16.1 RETIREMENT PENSIONS AND AGREED LABOR BENEFITS Retirement pensions Under collective bargaining agreements and labor contracts, ISA, TRANSELCA S.A. E.S.P. and XM, Compañía de Expertos en Mercados S.A. E.S.P., are required to pay pensions to employees who satisfy certain conditions of age and length of service. However, the Social Security Institute –ISS– and the pension management funds have assumed the greater part of this obligation upon compliance with certain legal requirements. 41 Annual Report 2009 Since the year 2005, ISA and TRANSELCA, in prudent anticipation of application of International Financial Reporting Standards –IFRS–, conducted a study with the help of a specialized actuarial firm to determine the companies' liabilities regarding agreed labor benefits enjoyed by retirees, different from monthly pension payment. Present value of this estimate stands for ISA, at $37,307 (2008: $35,002), and for TRANSELCA, at $50,492 (2008: $48,825), which are fully amortized. The main estimates used in the actuarial calculation were as follows: 2009 Actual interest rate Future increase of pensions and salaries Number of people covered by the plan 2008 ISA 4.80% TRANSELCA 4.80% XM 4.80% ISA 4.80% TRANSELCA 4.80% XM 4.80% 6.48% 6.48% 6.48% 5.15% 5.15% 5.15% 433 190 19 444 189 19 As of December 31, 2009, ISA had amortized 73.50% of the pension liability projected to cover monthly pension payments; amortization is calculated with methodology set forth in Resolution No. 356 of September 5 of 2007 issued by CGN. The movements in the actuarial estimate and the deferred liability at December 31, 2009 are as follows: Projected liability Deferred cost 165,704 12,353 (24,454) (6,907) Balance at December 31, 2007 Increase in actuarial estimate Pension payment expense during the year Commuted Pension Liability 141,250 5,446 18,148 23,594 Total pension expenses in Income Statement Pension payment Partially commuted pension liability Balance at December 31, 2008 Increase in actuarial estimate Pension payment expense during the year 178,057 (31,361) 15,685 (9,532) (8,042) (8,042) (18,148) (8,042) 138,654 6,153 19,563 Total pension expenses in Income Statement Pension payment Increase in partially commuted pension liability Balance at December 31, 2009 Net liability 25,716 193,742 (40,893) (2,413) (10,455) (19,563) (2,413) 142,394 Agreed Fringe Benefits The calculation of pension liabilities for ISA, XM and TRANSELCA included agreed fringe benefits received by pensioners in addition to those required by legal regulations. This practice was adopted in 2005 as a prudent policy seeking alignment with International Financial Reporting Standards –IFRS– The calculation included fringe benefits agreed in individual and collective labor agreements to which present and future pensioners are entitled, such 42 Annual Report 2009 as: education and health (supplementary plans and aid for health expenses) and pension contributions. 16.2 INCOME TAX Income tax and surtaxes Liabilities for taxes, liens and duties are made up mainly of income tax, calculated according to local regulation applicable to the parent company and its subordinates. Tax regulations applicable to the Colombian companies provide: a. Taxable income is subject to 33% rate. b. The basis to determine income tax for the year shall not be lower than 3% of net fiscal equity on the last day of the preceding taxable year, refined with the items duly authorized by tax regulations in force. c. Law 863 of 2003 established that income tax payers could deduct 30% of the effective investments made only in productive real fixed assets. According to changes made in Law 1111 of 2006, starting 2007, the percentage is 40% and its application does not result in income taxable for shareholders. After applying this regulation, and based on investments made by the Company during the year, the period’s ordinary net taxable income was decreased by $28,869 (2008: $16,922). d. As of 2004, income tax payers performing transactions with foreign related or associated parties and/or with residents of countries considered as tax haven, are required, for income tax purposes, to determine their ordinary and extraordinary revenues, costs and deductions, assets and liabilities, taking into consideration for these transactions the prices and profit margins of the market. At this time, the Company’s management and its counsels have not concluded the updating study for 2009; however, based on the satisfactory results of the study conducted for 2008, their opinion is that no significant additional income tax provisions shall be required as a result of the study. e. As a result of application of CGN Resolution No. 356 of September 5 of 2007 (to be applied retroactively as of January 1 of 2007), change arises in accounting treatment of equity investments of controlled entities on which the corporation has important influence, particularly for recording of updating through equity method, according to which, all exchange difference variations are considered equity variations until disposal of investment, therefore affecting equity instead of fiscal year's results. Pursuant to the provisions of fiscal regulation of investment in foreign currency, application of the above accounting rule generates a conciliatory entry between accounting and fiscal results, arising from the exchange difference from investments in foreign currency in controlled entities. f. In 2005, Decision 578 of the Andean Community of Nations –CAN– entered into force. This decision seeks to avoid double taxation of the income earned in any of the member countries using an exoneration mechanism. Based on this decision and on the opinions of tax advisors, the income earned in CAN member countries are considered to be tax exempt. g. On June 27, 2008, ISA and the Ministry of Mines and Energy subscribed the legal stability agreement for the activity of electric energy transmission 43 Annual Report 2009 during 20 years. The agreement provides for legal stability regarding income tax regulations, among which: income tax rate, deduction of inflation component of financial expenses, special 40% deduction for new investments in new productive real fixed assets, tax discount on VAT paid in import of machinery for energy transport, presumptive income equal to 3% of net fiscal equity, and transitoriness of equity tax. This agreement guarantees that, in the event of adverse modification to the regulations stabilized under the agreement, unmodified regulations shall continue to apply during the term of the agreement. h. On September 2 of 2007, TRANSELCA S.A. E.S.P. filed a claim against DIAN with the Administrative Tribunal of Atlántico for official calculation of income tax return of fiscal year 2002, where the Tax Administration disavows tax deductions for $4,616 and calculates tax in excess of $1,616. The claim was accepted by the tribunal on February 5, 2008. TRANSELCA presented final pleadings on September 15, 2008. On the date of this report, this claim was in the tribunal pending judgment. Regarding the action related to income tax return for 2002, the Company’s management and its fiscal counsels consider that the arguments set forth reasonably support deductibility of the expenses denied by DIAN. i. As of December 31, 2009, INTERNEXA S.A. E.S.P- posted fiscal loss of $34,605 (2008: $27,426) to compensate for, originating in the years 2003 to 2009. According to fiscal regulation in force, fiscal losses generated between 2003 and 2006 can be fiscally readjusted and compensated for with taxable income of the next eight years without exceeding 25% of loss annually, without limitation upon presumptive income of fiscal year. Losses originating after fiscal 2007 can be compensated for and/or fiscally readjusted without percentage limitation at any time, with taxable income without limitation upon presumptive income of fiscal year. The losses of the corporations cannot be transferred to their shareholders. Fiscal losses from revenues that do not constitute income or incidental income and from costs and deductions not originating taxable income cannot be offset with net taxable income of the taxpayer. At December of 2009, the company shows presumptive income excess over regular income of $27,559 generated during the years 2005 to 2009. According to fiscal regulation in force, presumptive income excess over regular income obtained as of fiscal 2003 can be compensated for with taxable income within the next 5 years, and/or readjusted fiscally. Equity tax Under Law 1111 of 2006, equity tax was established for fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, payable by individuals, legal entities and unincorporated associations who pay income tax. For matters of this tax, wealth is equivalent to the obligor’s total net fiscal equity that exceeds $3,000 million. This tax is calculated on the basis of net fiscal equity as of January 1 of 2007, at a rate of 1.2%.

For matters of this tax, wealth is equivalent to the obligor’s total net fiscal equity that exceeds $3,000 million. This tax’s rate is 2.4% when the taxpayer’s net fiscal equity ranges between three and five thousand million pesos ($3,000 – $5,000) and 4.8% when it exceeds five thousand million pesos ($5,000). The tax corresponding to each taxpayer is to be paid between the years 2011 and 2014. b) The amount of the special deduction for investment in real, productive, fixed assets included in article 158-3 of the Tax Law was reduced from forty (40%) to thirty percent (30%).

E.S.P. –ISA– ISA currently appears as party, as a defendant, plaintiff or as an intervening third party, of judicial processes of administrative, civil and labor nature. None of the processes in which the Company appears as a defendant or as an intervening third party could affect its stability. In its own name, it has taken the necessary judicial measures to carry out its corporate purpose and the defense of its interests.

E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $92,008 and USD32.5 million, and against XM, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of 51 Annual Report 2009 $24,780 for capacity charges, regarding application of CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000. k. Administrative Court of Antioquia. Proelectrica & Cia S.C.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $9,207 regarding application of CREG Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. l. Administrative Court of Antioquia. Termotasajero S.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $135,848 regarding application of CREG Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. The lawsuits for application by ISA, as the Administrator of the Commercial Settlement System –ASIC–, of CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000, capacity charges, correspond to CREG’s change in calculation methodology, which according to the plaintiff companies caused them damages; the same happens with Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. The agents consider that these provisions considerably reduce their income. In such transactions, ISA acted as the agent of third parties, and in this way its own equity would not be at stake in said processes. According to legal and technical analysis, ISA has enough grounds to consider that it will be released in these processes, because of as Administrator of the Commercial Settlement System it should have applied CREG regulations, duties from which it could not be released. Invoices billed and resolutions issued by ISA to answer the appeals, strictly comply with the aforementioned resolutions; therefore, they cannot be the cause of alleged damages claimed by the plaintiffs. Eventually, in case of negative results, ISA could request compensation or account settling between the market agents taking part in these transactions, which would permit the Company’s equity to remain unharmed. This claim also applies to XM subordinate, the current Administrator of the Commercial Settlement System –ASIC–. m.Gómez Cajiao y Asociados has filed a contractual lawsuit in the amount of $2,000 requesting the nullity of act awarding Public Bid C002, the nullity of BL98 contract, and redress of its right as proponent. n.

RETURN ON EQUITY: Results explained mainly by better results obtained by the affiliates and subsidiaries. EBITDA/ OPERATING INTEREST (TIMES): Better EBITDA resulting from increased revenues and optimization of expenses as well as lower interest associated to drop in debt. LIQUIDITY: Increase is due to increased marketable investments and reduced short-term debt, resulting from share issuances. Noteworthy is the fact that the electric energy transport business is supported by a strong physical infrastructure; therefore, a large percentage of its expenses (depreciation, provisions and amortization) do not imply cash expenditure, which allows for coverage of short-term liabilities with cash flow from the business. INDEBTEDNESS: Reduction explained by debt payment and increased longterm investments, cash and marketable investments. LEVERAGE: Decrease corresponds to increased equity resulting from share issuance of ISA (Parent Company). NOTE 25: CORPORATE CHANGES ISA CAPITAL DO BRASIL S.A. On February 28, 2008, the special shareholders’ meetings of ISA’s companies ISA Participações do Brasil Ltda. and Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista –CTEEP–, approved the incorporation of ISA Participações do Brasil into CTEEP. Such corporate restructuring will permit improved cash flow for CTEEP through availing of the fiscal benefit generated by amortization of goodwill in CTEEP. 68 Annual Report 2009 NOTE 26: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND RELEVANT ISSUES Tariff revision At the beginning of the year 2009, CREG issued Resolution 011, to revise, among other issues, the transmission activity remuneration scheme, generating a reduction of unit costs recognized for the different constructive units (nearing 14%), an increase in the useful life of each one of them (from 25 years to 30 years for substation equipment and 40 years for transmission lines), a remuneration rate increase (from 9% to 11.5% annually in real terms before taxes), and a radical change in AOM expenses remuneration (going from a fixed as-new replacement value –VRN– percentage of assets to a scheme that aims to recognize efficient costs and expenses incurred by the transmission companies). Similarly, in the year 2008, CREG issued resolution 097, that modifies the distributors’ remuneration scheme, and changes parameters relevant for determining connection charges paid by distributors to the owners of the connection assets (among them ISA and TRANSELCA). These resolutions are not in force yet, (or only for some distributors), but they are expected to become binding in the first semester of 2010, when they will affect the Company’s financial situation: Resolution 011, because it will directly apply to the revenue for use of the STN received by ISA, and Resolution 097, because it becomes a reference to negotiate connection contracts and the charges the energy distributors pay us. Even though both resolutions will affect the company, their impact is not expected to be significant. The periodic tariff revision in CTEEP previously foreseen by ANEEL for July of 2009 was postponed until July of 2010, according to Regulatory Resolution No. 386. However, its application is retroactive as of July 1° of 2009. Accounting model – convergence to IFRS For the second quarter of 2010, the Superintendency of Domiciliary Public Utilities –SSPD– has foreseen issuance of the resolution that will incorporate the General Accounting Model in convergence with international financial reporting standards. Such model might generate important changes in the recognition, valuation, and disclosure of financial information. The above notwithstanding, ISA S.A. E.S.P., TRANSELCA S.A. E.S.P., XM S.A. E.S.P., and INTERNEXA S.A. E.S.P., must comply with the Public Accounting Regime established by Colombia’s General Accounting Office. In Brazil, laws 11638/07 and 11941/09 modified and introduced new provisions to the law of corporations to enable the process of convergence with international accounting standards in that country. Autopistas de la Montaña Project The State, represented by Instituto Nacional de Concesiones –INCO–, and ISA, subscribed on January 28, 2010, the Inter-administrative agreement that will permit development of the Autopistas de la Montaña Project. Under such document ISA is bound to conduct engineering, environmental, traffic, legal and financial studies as well as to construct, operate, maintain and commercially exploit four road corridors with an approximate length of 1,251 km. 69 Annual Report 2009 According to preliminary studies carried out by ISA, the project’s estimated cost is $5,600,000 million, which shall be financed with contributions from: the National Government ($1,000,000 million) according to CONFIS document of January 27, 2010; the Antioquia Province Government ($600,000 million) as approved by the Antioquia Province Legislature; and the City of Medellín ($400,000 million) as approved by the city Council. Remaining $3,600,000 million will come from ISA’s capital contributions and financing to be obtained for the project. New Projects On September 15, 2009, the Mining and Energy Planning Unit –UPME– under public bidding awarded ISA the construction of works for electric interconnection of El Bosque project. ISA will be responsible for constructions, assembly, putting into operation, administration, operation and maintenance of El Bosque 220 kV substation and associated transmission lines. The project’s expected date for start of operations is May of 2011. Road concessions in Chile At the end of 2009, ISA reached an agreement with Spanish Cintra Infraestructuras to acquire 60% of the interest such company held in Cintra Chile Ltda., a company that controls five road concessions in Chile. The transaction for the 60% amounts to 7,150,000 Unidades de Fomento, equity value, equivalent to approximately USD300 million (exchange rate and UF as of December 22 to be updated upon closing). ISA has a purchase option and Cintra a sale option for the remaining 40% of capital. The effectiveness of such transaction is subject to the notices, authorizations and registrations required in Spain, Colombia, Chile and any other jurisdiction in which the participants are present. Authorization to establish DERIVEX S.A. In Resolution 2001 of 2009, the Colombian Financial Superintendency has authorized ISA’s affiliate, XM, and the Colombian Stock Exchange to establish Administradora de Sistemas de Negociación de Valores “DERIVEX S.A.”, a corporation whose purpose will be the negotiation and recording of operations with financial derivatives with electric energy, gas, fuel and/or other energy commodities as underlying assets. New Political Constitution of the Bolivian State A New Political Constitution was promulgated on February 07, 2009. Among other issues, the new constitution provides that “it is the duty of the State, at all government levels, to provide basic services through public, mixed-economy, cooperative or communal entities. In the case of electricity, service can be provided under agreements with the private sector. Service provision must be effected under criteria of universality, responsibility, accessibility, continuity, quality, efficiency, efficacy, equitable tariffs, necessary coverage, participation and social control. The New Political Constitution of the State shall be implemented through promulgation of regulatory legal provisions. To date, it is not possible to determine the effect of the New Constitution, if any, on the future activities of the corporation. Bond issues in CTEEP On December 19, 2009, CTEEP issued through book building, 54,860 bonds in two series for a total of BRL 548,600. Funs were actually received in January of 2010. Interest for the two series shall be paid semiannually on December 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2010. 70 Annual Report 2009 Dividend payment in CTEEP On January 11, 2010, CTEEP’s Administration Council approved payment of BRL 161 in dividends corresponding to earnings of 2009, which will be paid as of January 22, 2010. Restructuring of ISA Capital do Brasil Bonds On February 05, 2010, the Board of Directors of ISA approved restructuring of the foreign-currency debt of its affiliate ISA Capital do Brasil, and as part of the process, to present tender offer to repurchase bonds maturing in 2017 for up to USD354 million.

The capital stock increases then from BRL 839,778,000.00 to BRL 840,198,000.01, divided into 1,256,316,162 shares; (ii) reduce the mandatory dividend; (iii) The change in the company’s bylaws in order to include the above-mentioned modifications was carried out through a Shareholders Agreement between the company’s preferred and regular shareholders. Increase in capitalizations An increase in capital stock of Empresa Propietaria de la Red –EPR– was subscribed in Panama, on December 10, 2009, through minute No. 8 of the Board of Directors. To ISA, holder of a ninth of shares, it means an increase of 875 shares for a total of 6,500.

Notes to the Financial Statements AT DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 (Amounts expressed in millions of Colombian Pesos and original currencies) I. GENERAL NOTES NOTE 1: CORPORATE PURPOSE Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. E.S.P., –ISA– was incorporated by public deed No. 3057 of the Notary Public Office No. 8 of Bogotá on September 14, 1967. The Company was split off by Public Deed No. 230 of the Single Notary Public Office of Sabaneta, dated April 4, 1995. On December 1, 1995, by public deed No. 808 of the Single Notary Public Office of Sabaneta, and according to the provisions of the Domiciliary Public Utilities Law (Law 142 of 1994) the corporation changed its legal nature and became a state public utility corporation constituted by state institutions, of national order, ascribed to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and subject to the legal regime established by Law 142 of 1994. Based on Law 142 of 1994, the Company changed its name to Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. E.S.P.; it can also use the initials ISA S.A. E.S.P. On November 22, 1996, by Public Deed No. 746 of the Single Notary Public Office of Sabaneta, ISA changed its legal nature to a mixed-ownership public utility corporation of the national order, ascribed to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and subject to the legal regime established by Law 142 of 1994. This process was completed on January 15, 1997, with the arrival of private investment. As provided by the Constitutional Court in decision C-736 of September 19, 2007, ISA has a special legal nature and is defined as a decentralized mixedownership public utility company that is part of the executive branch under a special legal regime of private law. ISA’s main corporate purpose is: 1. The operation and maintenance of its own transmission network. 2. The expansion of the national interconnection grid. 3. The planning and operation coordination of the resources of the National Interconnection System. 89 14/03/2010 Annual Report 2009 4. The administration of the financial settlement system and trading of energy in the wholesale energy market. 5. The development of telecommunications systems, activities and services. 6. The direct and indirect participation in activities and services related to the transport of other energy sources, except for those restricted by law. 7. The provision of technical services in activities related to its corporate purpose and professional services required by the group’s companies 8. The development for third parties of any other activity related to the provision of electric power and telecommunications services within the regulation in force. 9. The direct and indirect participation in activities, services and investments related to engineering works. Branches Peru ISA Branch On September 4, 2002, ISA established a branch in Peru to execute the operation and maintenance agreement for the 220 kV CarhuamayoParagsha-Vizcarra and 138 kV Aguaytía-Pucallpa transmission lines subscribed between ISA and ISA Perú S.A. The branch’s term is indefinite; it has no legal personality and does not carry out any activities independently from ISA. It is an extension of the Company in Peru. Argentina ISA Branch ISA established a branch in Argentina on January 24, 2007. The proceedings were carried out at the General Justice Inspection, an official body in charge of Mercantile Register. Creation of this branch originated in the fact that corporations incorporated outside of Argentina willing to have a business presence in that country, must have a registered office there. This branch is not in commercial operation. NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The individual financial statements of ISA are the basis for dividend distributions and other appropriations; assets, liabilities, equity or results of subsidiaries are not consolidated. However, for legal reasons the Company is required to present separate consolidated financial statements to the annual Shareholders’ Meeting for approval. 2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Assets and liabilities are classified according to their use or degree of realization, demand or liquidation, in terms of time and value. Accordingly, current assets and liabilities (short-term) are understood as such amounts that will be realizable or demandable, respectively, within a term not longer than one year. 2.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR INFLATION Until December 31, 2000, non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders’ equity, except for the surplus from revaluation of assets and 90 Annual Report 2009 Income Statement accounts, were monetarily updated on a prospective basis, using general consumer-price index (or Tax Year's Adjustment Percentages –PAAG, for its Spanish initials–). The respective adjustments were recorded in the income statement’s monetary correction account. As of January 1, 2001 the Colombian General Accounting Office –CGN–, through Resolution No. 364 of November 29, 2001, suspended the system of integral inflation adjustments for accounting effects, without reverting the inflation adjustments accounted until December 31, 2000. According to Resolution No. 041 of 2004 and to External Circular Letter No. 056 of 2004, issued by the Colombian General Accounting Office, inflation adjustment accounts were eliminated from the General Plan of Public Accounting as part of the cost, thereby obligating to incorporate accumulated amounts for adjustments until 2000. In order to comply with regulations in force, since 2001, integral inflation adjustments continue to be applied for tax effects, giving rise to differences that are recorded in the tax memorandum accounts. Law 1111 of 2006 derogated integral inflation adjustments for tax effects beginning in fiscal year 2007 (See Note 17.2). 2.4 MATERIALITY Recognition and presentation of economic facts are made according to their relative importance. An economic fact is material when due to its nature or amount, knowing or not knowing it, considering the circumstances, could significantly change the economic decisions of the users of that information. In preparing the financial statements, it was determined for presentation purposes that an event would be material if it represented 5% of total assets, current assets, total liabilities, current liabilities, working capital, equity, or income. NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES For the preparation and presentation of its financial statements, the Company, as required by law, observes the Public Accounting General Plan defined by the Colombian General Accounting Office –CGN–, the accounting regulations issued by the Superintendency of Domiciliary Public Utilities –SSPD– and other applicable regulation. For keeping, preservation and custody of the accounting books and supporting documents, the regulation applicable to support documents, vouchers, and accounting books, established by the Colombian General Accounting Office, is observed. The Company’s Financial Statements are identified, classified, registered, valued, prepared and disclosed in accordance with the accounting principles of the CGN contained in Resolutions No. 354, 355 and 356 of September 5 of 2007, as amended, through which the Public Accounting Regime was implemented in order to harmonize its provisions with the criteria established by international accounting standards. Following is a description of the main accounting policies and practices adopted by the Company: 3.1 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND BALANCES Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the applicable exchange 91 Annual Report 2009 rates in force on the date of the transaction. At the close of each year, balances of assets and liabilities accounts are adjusted to current exchange rates (See Note 4). Exchange differences resulting from asset balances (other than controlled investments abroad) are recorded in the Income Statement. With regard to liability accounts, only exchange differences that are not imputable to costs of acquisition of assets are recorded in the Income Statement. Exchange differences imputable to the acquisition cost of assets include exchange differences while such assets are under construction or installation, and until they become operational. 3.2 CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of preparing the statement of cash flows, marketable investments redeemable within the next 90 days are considered to be cash equivalents. 3.3 INVESTMENTS Investments are recorded at cost and are updated in accordance with the intention of realization, the availability of market information, and the degree of control held over the issuing entity by applying methodologies that approximate its value to economic reality. Methodologies to update their value include stock exchange quotes, net present value to determine market price or the security’s internal rate of return, the equity method, and the cost method. According to the new Public Accounting Regime, the Company’s investments, for matters of their valuation, are classified in three categories: i) liquidity management, including debt titles and securities, intended for profiting from short-term price fluctuations; ii) investments with a political purpose, including debt titles kept until maturity, or at least for one year from purchase date; iii) and equity investments, including securities in controlled and non-controlled companies. In the Financial Statements, investments are classified as marketable and long-term, and they are reported respectively within current and non-current assets. The former include investments for liquidity management, and the latter for equity investments in controlled and non-controlled companies. Investments for liquidity management Liquidity management investments in debt titles and securities, as well as derivatives intended for liquidity management, are initially recorded at cost and are updated monthly through methodology of the Colombian Financial Superintendency. Changes arising from each valuation made in investments for liquidity management are recognized in the income statement. Financial derivative instruments In order to reduce exposure to exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations of financial liabilities with local and international commercial banks and multilateral agencies and of bond issues, among others, the Company uses derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards and options. According to the rules issued by the Colombian General Accounting Office, derivative instruments for hedging purposes are recognized for the amount of the right or of the liability on the date of commencement of the contract, are monthly updated using methodologies of recognized technical value, and the difference is recorded as derivative valuation revenue or expense, as the case may be. 92 Annual Report 2009 Investments with a political purpose Investments with a political purpose include debt securities issued by local or foreign entities acquired in compliance with macroeconomic policies or the Company’s internal policies. Investments for compliance with macroeconomic policies correspond to debt titles acquired under agreed or mandatory subscription. Investments to comply with the entity’s internal policies include investments held to maturity and investments for sale, the latter understood as investments held for at least one (1) year. In both cases, the intention to hold the securities during the stated term, as well as the legal, contractual, financial and operative capacity, are required. Investments held to maturity are updated on the basis of the internal rate of return foreseen in the methodologies adopted by the Colombian Financial Superintendency. EQUITY INVESTMENTS a. Equity investment in controlled companies Equity investments in controlled companies include investments made in order to exercise or share control, as well as those in which the Company has substantial influence, and long-term investments in which the public sector holds over 50% direct or indirect participation. These investments are accounted through the equity method, according to CGN Resolution No. 356 of 2007, amended by Resolution 145 of 2008. Under the equity method, investment in subsidiaries and affiliates is recognized at cost, and is adjusted through: Credit or charge to the investment’s cost equal to the participation of the Company in profits and losses of the subsidiary, with a matching entry in the income statement. Credit or charge to the investment equal to the participation of the Company in the subsidiary’s equity variation with a matching entry in the surplus from equity method account, in the event of an increase; in the event of a decrease, as surplus from equity method until its exhaustion, and the remaining difference in the income statement. Credit or charge to the investment equal to the amount of dividends received from the subsidiary that correspond to periods during which, ISA applied the equity method. If the difference between intrinsic value and book value of the investment recorded on equity basis is: Positive, re-appraisal of assets is increased, and the revaluation surplus included in the equity accounts is credited. Negative, re-appraisal of assets is reduced with a charge to the revaluation surplus up to the amount available; any difference is recorded as a charge to equity surplus, until exhaustion. Any additional deficit is recognized in the income statement as a loss. Investments in subordinated companies abroad are recorded on the basis of their financial statements at December 31 of each year, translated into 93 Annual Report 2009 Colombian pesos, using the United States dollar as functional currency, applying the provisions of International Accounting Standard 21. For the translation of the Financial Statements the following is taken into account: Balance sheet items are calculated using the closing exchange rate; income statement items are calculated using the accumulated average exchange rate for each month closing; net effect with respect to closing rate is recognized as translation adjustment. b. Equity investments in non-controlled companies The other variable-income equity investments in non-controlled companies that are not listed in stock exchanges are recorded at cost plus the dividends received in shares. If at year’s end, the intrinsic value of investments is greater or lower than the book value, a charge is recorded in the re-appraisals account with a contra entry in re-appraisal surplus in equity, or a provision is charged to the income statement, respectively. 3.4 ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS On each quarter’s closing date, the associated credit risk of the accounts receivable from customers and other debtors is examined in order to determine the respective provisions, which include percentages between 10% and 100%, according to aging analysis and evaluations of the collection of individual accounts, in accordance with the following criteria: Description Maturity % Provision A Low-risk accounts receivable 90-180 days 181-360 days >= 360 days 10 40 100 B Doubtful accounts 31-90 days 91-180 days >= 180 days 20 50 100 Type For the debts of companies subject to reorganization or under liquidation, the provision for accounts receivable must be adjusted to one hundred percent (100%) of non-performing accounts receivable, regardless of the provision recorded for debt age. 3.5 INVENTORIES Inventories are recorded at cost, and at end of the year, through a provision charged to the income statement, are reduced to their sale value, if it is lower than their book value. Spare parts, materials and other consumables are valued by the weighted average method. 3.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, which, where relevant, may include: a) financing costs associated to acquisition and construction of assets not in operational conditions and, b) until year 2000, inflation adjustments on costs, excluding capitalized exchange differences and the portion of capitalized interest corresponding to inflation. Sales and retirements of such assets are discharged at their respective net adjusted cost, and differences between sale price and net adjusted cost are recorded in the income statement. 94 Annual Report 2009 In 2009, the Company concluded and implemented the study of useful life by components, so as to comply with the attachment of Resolution 356 of 2007 of the Colombian General Accounting Office, establishing that depreciation and amortization must be calculated for each asset individually considered; however, when its components or parts have different useful lives, or provide economic or potential service benefits of different rhythms, depreciation shall be applied to each component. Definition of components of the energy transmission system: A component of a fixed asset is an element that can be regarded as a part of another asset, but due to its own features, because of the function it serves, and the type of strategies or activities developed along its technical service life, can be treated as an independent asset. Materials with high inventory turnover shall not be classified as fixed assets. Based on CIGRE (International Council of Large Electric Systems) reference statistics and ISA’s experience in terms of transmission grid, the average useful life of transmission lines is estimated at a maximum of 63 years (2008: 40 years). 40 años) para los circuitos de transmisión de energía. Depreciation is calculated over the asset’s cost by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of assets. For the purpose of depreciation calculations, following is a list with the assets’ estimated useful life: Asset / Component Useful Life Transmission lines Buildings Optic fiber Machinery and equipment Telecommunications equipment Furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment Communications equipment Transport, traction and lifting equipment Supervision and Switching Center's equipment Computer equipment and accessories 63 50 25 15 15 10 10 10 6 5 Substation Components Lines (Substations’ grounding nets) Power transformer PT Breaker CT Lightning arrester Diesel Plant SVC reactors Main Breaker Reactor Mobile substation FS Battery Bank Charger SAS component Condensers SVC condensers Series compensation control SVC control Converter Inverter Telephone exchange PLC Sequence of events recorder Protection relays RTU Thunderstorm and lightning information system -SID Teleprotection SVC thyristor valve VQ 63 40 38 32 30 30 30 30 30 27 25 20 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 95 Annual Report 2009 Maintenance expenditures of these assets are charged to the Income Statement, while improvements and additions are added to their costs, since they increase useful life, expand productive capacity and operational efficiency, improve service quality, and permit significant cost reduction. Repairs required because of attacks to the electric infrastructure are recorded as extraordinary expenses in the period when the attacks occur and do not increase the useful life originally assigned to the assets. Due to the difficulties to insure this type or risk, these damages are accrued in the financial statements as they occur and are not recorded on estimate basis. Management, in accordance with their historical experience of losses by attacks and the country’s political and security circumstances, includes in the annual budget the resources considered enough to cover these losses. Real property intended for generation of revenues from rent is recorded as investment property. Assets not being used in operations are classified as non-exploited assets, and their depreciation is suspended. 3.7 DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS Deferred charges and other assets include prepaid expenses, deferred charges and other assets. Prepaid expenses include mainly monetary items such as insurance premiums and interest, which are amortized as they accrue. Deferred charges and other assets include goodwill from acquisition of longterm investments, cost of acquisition of software, easements, tax to preserve democratic security, bond underwriting commissions, legal stability agreement premium, licenses and rights, from which future and quantifiable economic benefits are expected to be obtained. It also includes deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between net income and tax income. Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over a maximum of three years. Goodwill, bond underwriting commissions, legal stability agreement premium, licenses and rights are amortized on a straight-line basis during the periods over which their benefits are expected to be received, according to the feasibility studies for their recovery. Charges for studies and research of projects in pre-operational stage will be treated as expenses and are not capitalized even when a subsequent decision is made as to execute the project and when the project is intended for internal purposes. Useful life of intangibles can be indefinite or finite; It is indefinite when there is no foreseeable limit for the period in which the asset is expected to generate future economic benefits. it is finite when the period during which economic benefits or service potential will be received can be estimated (see note 10). 3.8 RE-APPRAISALS Re-appraisals that are part of equity include: 3.8.1 The excess of the valuation (appraisals) of the main components of property, plant and equipment over per-books net cost. Such appraisals were determined by independent appraisers, in the case of real-estate 96 Annual Report 2009 property; by their market value, in the case of transport equipment; and based on technical studies developed by employees of the Company, in the case of other assets. These valuations shall be made at least every three years, or when market conditions indicate that such amounts have materially changed. (See Note 11). 3.8.2 The excess of intrinsic value (equity value) of long-term investments over their net cost. 3.9 CURRENT INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX Income tax provision is calculated on the period’s ordinary net taxable income, which is obtained from relevant revenues, costs and expenses. The credit deferred tax is the lesser current tax calculated during the period, resulting from the excess of tax depreciation and amortization over perbooks depreciation and amortization, when useful life, depreciation and amortization methods for tax purposes differ from accounting ones, for which differences are expected to be reverted in the future. The debit deferred tax represents the temporary differences that have generated a higher amount of current income tax. Basically, this includes inflation adjustments on non-monetary depreciable and amortizable assets, balances of provisions for doubtful accounts, retirement payments to pensioners, and health, education and other benefits, among others, for which differences are expected to be reverted in the future. According to opinion No. 20061-57086 of CGN of January 31, 2006, the Company has autonomy in defining the accounting principles regarding deferred tax. Accordingly, ISA has considered, among others, inflation adjustments recognized only for tax effects of depreciable fixed assets, as temporary differences that result in the accrual of deferred tax, since these generate a greater monetary correction income tax, increasing the income tax payable, and are subsequently recovered during the following years as the fixed assets are depreciated (See Notes 10 and 17.2). The rates used for calculation of deferred taxes are the same as those at which temporary differences are expected to be reverted. 3.10 LABOR LIABILITIES Labor liabilities are adjusted at the end of each period on the basis of legal provisions and labor agreements in force. An actuarial study is conducted every year to determine pension liability, future health and education benefits and retirement payments to pensioners. Retirement pension payments are charged to the actuarial estimate account. With respect to amortization of retirement pension liabilities for Colombian subsidiaries, it must correspond to the value resulting from dividing the total actuarial estimate pending amortization by the number of years remaining to complete the term set by regulation in force, applicable to each particular entity, and counted from the actuarial estimate closing date. For ISA, maximum time provided for by regulation is 30 years starting on December 31, 1994. Regarding the methodology to amortize benefits and aids, the Company amortizes 100% of actuarial liabilities, closely following international accounting standards, as is the intention of the CGN. 97 Annual Report 2009 Accounting records for recognition of this liability and associated expenses are carried out in accounts different from those in which actuarial estimates are included. 3.11 NET INCOME PER SHARE Net income per share is calculated on the annual weighted average number of outstanding shares. In 2009, 1,077,678,853 (in 2008:1,075,661,374). 3.12 RECLASSIFICATIONS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Certain amounts included in the financial statements at December 31, 2008 were reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements for 2009. 3.13 MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS Memorandum accounts include loans contracted but not disbursed, contingencies resulting from claims and lawsuits, and guarantees granted under loan agreements. They also include temporary and permanent differences between accounting and tax amounts, which will be reasonably reverted in time, and allow preparation of specific-purpose reports, respectively. Non-monetary memorandum accounts were adjusted for inflation until December 31 of 2000, with charge to a contra memorandum account. 3.14 RECOGNITION OF REVENUE, COSTS AND EXPENSES Revenue, costs and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Revenue from service provision is recognized during the contractual period or when services are rendered. Amounts received to remunerate recovery of investments in UPMES, as well as usage rights not accrued because their respective costs have not been incurred or because the related services have not been rendered yet, are recognized as deferred revenues. This deferred revenue is amortized over the periods along which it accrues. 3.15 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted requires some estimates that affect the values of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses reported in such periods. The actual result of certain items may differ from such estimates. 3.16 OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE LIMITATIONS AND DEFICIENCIES During 2009 and 2008, no operating or administrative limitations or deficiencies were found that would significantly affect the normal accounting processes, or the consistency and reliability of the accounting figures. 98 Annual Report 2009 II.

(2) Economic appraisal was conducted in 2008 for main components of property, plant and equipment, in compliance with the provisions of the Public Accounting Regime - Resolution 354 of September 5 of 2007. Technical appraisals of operational assets for Colombian subsidiaries were made by using the technically recognized Straight-line Depreciated Replacement Cost method approved by the Colombian General Accounting Office as stated in number 18 of accounting procedure for recognition and disclosure of facts related to property, plant and equipment, issued by Resolution 356 of September 5, 2007. The methodology consists of determining the present value of operational equipment , based on the actual cost of an asset with the same characteristics that provides the same service (the as-new replacement value –VRN–2), proportionally affected by the remaining time of service (remaining useful life) with respect to the useful life initially established. This criterion is applied to every specialized3 asset that ISA has in operation for energy transmission (use and connection). Market value is used for non-specialized4 assets such as vehicles. The following table details the re-appraisal of property, plant and equipment: 2009 2008 Assets Transmission lines Transmission lines Land Buildings Telecommunications usufruct Vehicles CSM Total Appraisal 2,771,605 1,642,905 98,722 154,006 97,431 1,681 462 Accounting balance Net Re-appraisal Adjustment 1,283,279 1,488,326 263,587 915,248 727,657 -44,010 19,697 79,025 1,061 44,971 109,035 -555 97,431 305 1,376 30 462 - 4,766,812 2,361,393 2,405,419 220,113 Accounting Appraisal balance Net Re-appraisal 1,286,072 2,510,811 1,224,739 928,421 1,700,088 771,667 19,697 97,661 77,964 43,997 153,587 109,590 97,369 97,369 332 1,678 1,346 4,561,194 Of the total valuation of ISA’s operating assets, STN’s assets are 87.0%, connection assets 5.3%, land and buildings 5.3%, telecommunications 2%, and vehicles represent the smallest percentage with respect to total. 2 3 4 Values determined according to regulation applicable to their remuneration. Assets not frequently offered or demanded in the market. Assets frequently offered and demanded in the market. 112 2,375,888 2,185,306 Annual Report 2009 4.3% increase in re-appraisal in 2009 with respect to 2008, corresponds basically to: Re-appraisal of National Transmission System use and connection assets is due mainly to the study of useful life by components, given that in 2008, average useful life was 30 years for yard equipment, 14 years for protection and automation, and 40 years for transmission lines. Average in 2009 was 34 years for yard equipment, 15 years for protection and automation systems, and 63 years for transmission lines. In land and buildings, re-appraisal corresponds to the incorporation of the Manizales facilities to the accounting system. Asset returned by Manitex. The Supervision and Maneuvers Center was fully depreciated in 2008; investment was made in 2009 in workstations, mimic panel, and office furnishings.

However, the Social Security Institute –ISS– and the pension management funds have assumed the greater part of this obligation upon compliance with certain legal requirements. 118 Annual Report 2009 The present value for pension liability as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was determined using actuarial calculations that comply with the law and specifically with labor contracts and collective bargaining agreements. The main estimates used in the actuarial calculation were as follows: Actual interest rate Future increase of pensions and salaries Number of people covered by the plan 2009 2008 4.80% 6.48% 433 4.80% 5.15% 444 On December 31, 2009, the Company had 619 (2008: 619) active employees, of whom 31 (2008, 64) are covered by the pension plan provided in the collective and individual agreements, while the remaining 588 (2008, 555) are under the jurisdiction of Law 100 of 1993. The actuarial estimate covers active personnel (31), retired personnel (343), surviving spouse pension benefit substitutions (43), pension portion for which ISA is accountable (12) and contingent personnel – retired personnel with more than 20 years of service (4). As of December 31, 2008, ISA had amortized 69.52% (2008: As of December 31, 2008, ISA had amortized 76.08% (2007, 76.08%) of the pension liability projected to cover monthly pension payments; amortization is calculated with methodology set forth in Resolution No. 356 of September 5 of 2007 issued by CGN. Amortization corresponds to the value resulting from dividing the total actuarial estimate pending amortization by the number of years remaining to complete the term set, counted from the actuarial estimate closing date. The movements in the actuarial estimate at December 31 are as follows: Projected liability Deferred cost Net liability Balance at December 31, 2006 Plus increase in actuarial estimate 99,099 4,971 15,652 3,754 83,447 1,217 Balance at December 31, 2007 Plus increase in actuarial estimate 104,070 9,141 19,406 7,671 84,664 1,470 Balance at December 31, 2008 Plus (less) increase in actuarial estimate 113,211 6,920 27,077 9,542 86,134 (2,622) Balance at December 31, 2009 120,131 36,619 83,512 During 2009, pension payments totaled $12,164(2008: $10,737). Agreed Fringe Benefits In the calculation of pension liabilities, the Company included agreed fringe benefits received by pensioners in addition to those required by legal regulations. This practice was adopted in 2005 as a prudent policy seeking alignment with International Financial Reporting Standards –IFRS-. The calculation included fringe benefits agreed in individual and collective labor agreements to which present and future pensioners are entitled, such 119 Annual Report 2009 as: education and health (supplementary plans and aid for health expenses) and pension contributions. Amounts and amortization are as follows: Total liabilities 2009 Total liabilities 2008 Pension payments Study aid Health aid Total Total amortized Dec-09 Total amortized Dec-08 3,987 2,172 31,148 3,975 2,183 28,844 3,987 2,172 31,148 3,975 2,183 28,844 37,307 35,002 37,307 35,002 100% 100% Amortization percentage Benefits and aids were 100% amortized, closely following international accounting standards. Accounting records for recognition of this liability and associated expenses are carried out in accounts different from those in which actuarial estimates are included. 17.2 INCOME TAX Income tax and surtaxes Tax regulations applicable to the Company provide: a. Taxable income is subject to 33% rate. b. The basis to determine income tax for the year shall not be lower than 3% of net fiscal equity on the last day of the preceding taxable year, refined with the items duly authorized by tax regulations in force. c. Law 863 of 2003 established that income tax payers could deduct 30% of the effective investments made only in productive real fixed assets. According to changes made in Law 1111 of 2006, starting 2007, the percentage is 40% and its application does not result in income taxable for shareholders. After applying this regulation, and based on investments made by the Company during the year, the period’s ordinary net taxable income was decreased by $28,868 (2008, $16,904). d. As of 2004, income tax payers performing transactions with foreign related or associated parties and/or with residents of countries considered as tax haven, are required, for income tax purposes, to determine their regular and special revenues, costs and deductions, assets and liabilities, taking into consideration for these transactions the prices and profit margins of the market. At this time, the Company’s management and its counsels have not concluded the updating study for 2009; however, based on the satisfactory results of the study conducted for 2008, their opinion is that no significant additional income tax provisions shall be required as a result of the study. e. As a result of application of Resolution No. 356 of September 5 of 2007 of Colombia’s General Accounting Office, exchange rate fluctuations, in updating through equity method of equity investments in controlled entities, are considered equity variations until disposal of the investment, and therefore, affect equity; however, when surplus from equity method cannot absorb equity decreases accumulated in equity entries different from results, the excess must be recognized as expense in the form of provision until the book value of the investment is equal to zero. 120 Annual Report 2009 Pursuant to the provisions of fiscal regulation on investment in foreign currency, as of application of the above accounting rule, a conciliatory entry between accounting and fiscal results is produced arising from the exchange difference of investments in foreign currency in controlled entities. f. In 2005, Decision 578 of the Andean Community of Nations –CAN– entered into force. This decision seeks to avoid double taxation of the income earned in any of the member countries using an exoneration mechanism. Based on this decision and on the opinions of tax advisors, the income earned in CAN member countries are considered to be tax exempt. g. On June 27, 2008, ISA and the Ministry of Mines and Energy subscribed the legal stability agreement for the activity of electric energy transmission during 20 years. The agreement provides for legal stability regarding income tax regulations, among which: income tax rate, deduction of inflation component of financial expenses, special 40% deduction for new investments in new productive real fixed assets, tax discount on VAT paid in import of machinery for energy transport, presumptive income equal to 3% of net fiscal equity, and transitoriness of equity tax. This agreement guarantees that, in the event of adverse modification to the regulations stabilized under the agreement, unmodified regulations shall continue to apply during the term of the agreement. The reconciliation between accounting income and taxable income for 2009 and 2008 is as follows: Income before taxes Plus – items that increase distributable income: Investments exchange difference Amortization of goodwill Write-off and tax provision for accounts receivable Net cost of assets sold Cash dividends received Non-deductible provisions Non-deductible costs and expenses Less – items that decrease distributable income Excess of depreciation and amortization Additional depreciation/amortization for tax inflation adjustment Recovery of provisions Equity method Non-taxable dividends and participations Special deduction of productive real fixed assets Other Total ordinary income Taxable income Less tax-exempt income Taxable income Tax rate Income tax 121 2009 2,008 2008 460,349 330,780 160,746 -168 454 34,571 15,946 3,133 31,306 4,318 457 687 39,222 1,169 -90,756 -58,618 -7,425 -140,487 -30,031 -28,868 -12,789 -35,873 -43,237 -10,571 -62,521 -26,134 -16,904 -4,395 306,057 208,304 306,057 306,057 33% 208,304 -1,260 207,044 33% 100,999 68,325 Annual Report 2009 Net tax effect on the results of the year: Income tax Deferred taxes net, income adjustment preceding years CAN countries tax Net charge to income 2009 2008 100,999 42,704 1,768 68,325 24,367 1,495 145,471 94,187 Reconciliation between accounting and taxable equity at December 31: Accounting equity Plus: Investments increased fiscal value Non-deductible provisions Credit deferred tax Monetary correction effect Less: Accounting re-appraisals Debit deferred tax Excess of tax depreciation of fixed assets Excess of amortization of deferred charges and intangible assets Total taxable equity 2009 2008 6,119,884 4,809,263 (567,162) 77,006 156,368 533,792 (32,627) 65,942 126,617 591,257 2,405,688 77,060 429,855 17,069 2,185,306 92,476 338,977 26,600 3,390,216 2,917,093 The following temporary differences generated a deferred tax liability for tax years ended December 31: Credit deferred tax 2009 2008 429,855 25,879 18,110 473,844 33% 338,977 26,600 18,110 383,688 33% 156,368 126,617 2009 2008 Provision for accounts receivable Estimated liabilities Retirement pensions Inflation adjustments Excess of notional income Total deferred tax basis Tax rate Debit deferred tax Branch’s deferred tax 3,896 44,887 -5,434 189,812 233,161 33% 76,943 117 3,191 41,056 6,840 211,595 17,065 279,747 33% 92,316 160 Total debit deferred tax 77,060 92,476 Excess of tax depreciation Excess of tax amortization Equity method Total deferred tax basis Tax rate Credit deferred tax Debit deferred tax 122 Annual Report 2009 The income tax returns for 2008 and 2007 are subject to the review and approval by the tax authorities. The Company’s management and its legal counsels consider that the amounts accounted as income tax payable suffice to pay any liability that could be determined for such years. Equity tax Under Law 1111 of 2006, equity tax was established for fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, payable by individuals, legal entities and unincorporated associations who pay income tax. For matters of this tax, wealth is equivalent to the obligor’s total net fiscal equity that exceeds $3,000 million. This tax is calculated on the basis of net fiscal equity as of January 1 of 2007, at a rate of 1.2%. During the first semester of 2009, the management, based on article 25 of Law 1111 of 2006, and with approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting of March 30 of 2007, authorized recording the equity tax of year 2009 and 2008 for $20,173 against the equity revaluation account. Tax Law Amendment of 2009 Law 1370 of December 30 of 2009, amended tax law as follows: a. A new tax was levied for the year 2011, valid until 2014, to be paid by legal persons and individuals, and by unincorporated associations who pay income tax. For matters of this tax, wealth is equivalent to the obligor’s total net fiscal equity that exceeds $3,000 million. This tax’s rate is 2.4% when the taxpayer’s net fiscal equity ranges between three and five thousand million pesos ($3,000 – $5,000) and 4.8% when it exceeds five thousand million pesos ($5,000). The tax corresponding to each taxpayer is to be paid between the years 2011 and 2014. b. The amount of the special deduction for investment in real, productive, fixed assets included in article 158-3 of the Tax Law was reduced from forty (40%) to thirty percent (30%). Considering that ISA has subscribed a legal stability agreement stabilizing, among others, the above mentioned rules for energy transmission activities, it must only comply with the provisions of the tax law amendment in those activities different from energy transmission.

This offer was carried out through book building process, which was approved by the Colombian Financial Superintendency by Decree 3780 of October 1 of 2007. Under such scheme, investors proposed both the price and the amount of shares they will be interested in buying. The issue was 2.8x overbooked. 125 Annual Report 2009 ISA's Board of Directors, in special meeting No. 686 held on December 4 of 2009, formalized the public offer of the Company's common shares and defined a subscription price of $12,000 pesos per share.

Underwritten shares were purchased by 541 existing shareholders and 1,257 new shareholders, for total 1,798 shareholders taking part in this underwriting. CAPITAL SURPLUS Additional paid-in capital The additional paid-in capital is the excess of the sales price over the par value of the subscribed shares. In 2009 it increased by $383,148, corresponding to share issuance held on December 09, 2009. Received for works This account represents amounts delivered by the National Government for the construction of the first circuit of the 500-kV line to the Caribbean Coast. RESERVES Legal reserve The law requires the Company to appropriate 10% of annual net income as a legal reserve until the balance of the reserve is equal to 50% of subscribed capital. This mandatory reserve may not be distributed prior to the liquidation of the Company, but may be used to absorb or reduce net losses of the year. Any balance of the reserve in excess of 50% of subscribed capital is at the disposal of the shareholders. Mandatory reserve for tax purposes The Shareholders’ Meeting approved appropriation of this reserve from net income, in compliance with Article 130 of the Tax Law, in order to obtain tax deductions for depreciation in excess of book depreciation. As legally provided, this reserve can be released whenever subsequent accounting depreciation exceeds tax depreciation, or when the assets giving rise to the incremental amount deducted are sold. Reserve for repurchase of shares Includes $38,100 special reserve to acquire own shares held by EPM. Reserve for reinforcement of equity The Shareholders’ Meeting approved an occasional reserve in accordance with Article 47 of the bylaws. This reserve was ordered so that the Company could retain its solid financial position and maintain the financial indicators required by rating agencies, in order to obtain the investment degree and comply with contractual commitments to lenders. Reserve for rehabilitation and replacement of STN assets The Shareholders Meeting held on March 30, 2000, approved $24,933 reserve for the rehabilitation and replacement of assets of the National Transmission System, and on March 18, 2002, approved an additional reserve of $12,502. 126 Annual Report 2009 EQUITY REVALUATION Inflation adjustments on equity accounts recognized until December 31, 2000, have been credited to this account and charged to the income statement.

None of the processes in which the Company appears as a defendant or as an intervening third party could affect its stability. In its own name, it has taken the necessary judicial measures to carry out its corporate purpose and the defense of its interests. Below is the information regarding the judicial processes which the Company is a party to: a.

ISA has sued the Superintendency of Public Utilities for $1,425 as a result of issuing administrative acts that prevent ISA (ASIC) from exercising its rights to limit power supplies and the collection of billings to Empresas Públicas de Caucasia. d. Administrative Tribunal of Antioquia. ISA has filed a nullity and redress lawsuit against the tax authorities (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales –DIAN–), for $4,780, related to default interest in favor of ISA, resulting from the non-timely reimbursing excess income tax paid in 1995. The process is currently awaiting judgment from the Tribunal. e. Administrative Tribunal of Antioquia. ISA challenged Resolution 1233 of 2001, by which the Municipality of San Carlos requested payment of taxes by the public space occupation for $1,839 for the year 2000. f. Nullity and redress process No. 064. Flores III LTDA & CIA. S.C.A. E.S.P., has sued the State – Ministry of Mines and Energy, CREG, ISA and Electrificadora del Caribe S.A. E.S.P.– Declaration of nullity of CREG Resolution 031 of July 22, 1999, by which the appeal presented by Electricaribe S.A. was accepted, releasing the Company from paying amounts invoiced by ISA for the restriction of the 220-110 kV autotransformer. Declaration of nullity of alleged administrative act resulting from failure to answer within the legal term a request for direct repeal of the foregoing resolution and award payment of $2,343. g. Administrative Tribunal of Antioquia. Termocandelaria has filed a nullity and redress lawsuit against ISA, the Nation, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $20,794 regarding CREG Resolutions 034, 038 and 094 of 2001. h. Administrative Tribunal of Antioquia. Central Hidroeléctrica de Betania S.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $58,598 and USD15,373,890, for capacity charges - CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000. i Administrative Court of Antioquia. Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the Nation, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $193,662 and USD82.4 million regarding application of CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000. j. Administrative Court of Antioquia. Chivor S.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $92,008 and USD32.5 million for capacity charges - CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000. k. Administrative Court of Antioquia. Proelectrica & Cia S.C.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $9,207 regarding application of CREG Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. 128 Annual Report 2009 l. Administrative Court of Antioquia. Termotasajero S.A. E.S.P., has filed nullity and redress lawsuits against ISA, the State, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and CREG, in the amount of $135,848 regarding application of CREG Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. The lawsuits for application by ISA, as the Administrator of the Commercial Settlement System –ASIC–, of CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000, capacity charges, correspond to CREG's change in calculation methodology, which according to the plaintiff companies caused them damages; the same happens with Resolutions 034 and 038 of 2001. The agents consider that these provisions considerably reduce their income. In such transactions, ISA acted as the agent of third parties, and in this way its own equity would not be at stake in said processes. According to legal and technical analysis, ISA has enough grounds to consider that it will be released in these processes, because of as Administrator of the Commercial Settlement System it should have applied CREG regulations, duties from which it could not be released. Invoices billed and resolutions issued by ISA to answer the appeals, strictly comply with the aforementioned resolutions; therefore, they cannot be the cause of alleged damages claimed by the plaintiffs. Eventually, in case of negative results, ISA could request compensation or account settling between the market agents taking part in these transactions, which would permit the Company's equity to remain unharmed. m. Gómez Cajiao y Asociados has filed a contractual lawsuit in the amount of $2,000 requesting the nullity of act awarding Public Bid C002, the nullity of BL98 contract, and redress of its right as proponent. n.

Administrative Court of Antioquia. UTE APS has filed tort claim against ISA for contract breach for 32,018. q. Administrative Court of Cundinamarca. UTE APS has filed KENZO JEANS S.A. and DIKAR S.A. have filed a $7,000 claim against ISA for damages related to easement. r. Cundinamarca Administrative Tribunal, first section. ISA has sued the Superintendency of Public Utilities for $923 for resolutions SSPD20082400007415 of March 26 of 2008 and SSPD-20082400018105 of June 18 of 2008, which imposed and confirmed a fine against ISA for the event happened on April 26, 2007. s. State Court, Fifth Delegated Prosecutor's Office. ISA has filed a request to be accepted as civil claimant in the criminal case against Orlando Antonio Salas Villa for $7,418, corresponding to amount payable for easement. As of December 31, 2009, there exist other labor, civil and administrative claims pending decision for a total amount close to $2,500 that are related to the normal course of operations of ISA. 129 Annual Report 2009 The Company's management and its legal counsels consider remote the possibility of loss as a result of such claims. 20.2 GUARANTEES AND COMMITMENTS IN FORCE At 2009 year's end the following guarantees and commitments were in force: a.

The costing system is the “Activities-Based Costing”, where the products offered by each service or business are the result of a series of operating processes that interact sequentially, for which reason its structure or costs map will call for observation of the progressive flow of operations or tasks to constitute activities, the former to conform processes, and the latter to deliver a utility. This system considers that expenses accrued in each area of administrative responsibility should be assigned to the business or service unit in accordance with the activities (support process) developed by these areas. No internal or external advisors with the main function of processing affairs with public or private entities, or advice on or prepare studies for such effect were hired in 2009. 134 Annual Report 2009 NOTE 24: NON-OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES Non-operating revenues at December 31 included: 2009 2008 3,397 2,307 8,998 564 3,752 1,759 4,977 309 15,266 10,797 4,780 5,490 5,625 332 1,484 23,453 11,242 8,805 13,676 231 2,325 116,658 Total exchange difference 41,164 152,937 Total financial revenues 56,430 163,734 Revenues from equity method 143,635 72,148 146 9,685 923 3,850 4,507 3,372 115 10,101 1,303 143 2,282 19,111 17,316 219,176 253,198 Financial revenue Interest On overdue accounts receivable and other loans Monetary readjustment yields Investment valuations Commercial, conditioned and agreed discounts Total interest Exchange difference Cash Accounts receivable Investments abroad Other assets Accounts payable Financial liabilities Extraordinary revenue and others Indemnities Rentals Recoveries Revenues from prior years Revenue from sale of property, plant and equipment Other Extraordinary revenues and others Total non-operating revenues 135 Annual Report 2009 Non-operating expenses for years-ended December 31 included: Financial expenses Interest and commissions On financial liabilities (See Note 13) Interests and commissions on bonds (See Note 12) Deferred charges and other assets Administration of security issues Loss from valuation and sale of investments Miscellaneous Total interest and commissions Exchange difference Accounts receivable Investments Accounts payable Financial liabilities Total exchange difference Total financial expenses Expense from equity method Extraordinary expenses and others Losses on casualties Loss from retirement of assets Other Prior years adjustments Extraordinary expenses and others Total non-operating expenses (1) (2) 2009 2008 62,814 120,609 3,090 2,263 1,832 835 84,727 106,601 2,973 1,983 6,949 779 191,443 204,012 7,685 78 12,578 645 6,145 32,876 126,559 20,986 165,580 212,429 369,592 3,148 9,627 5,245 6,365 1,314 2,259 10,826 2,917 2,733 1,107 15,183 17,583 230,760 396,802 (1) During 2009 and 2008, the Company was affected by terrorist attacks to the electric infrastructure, which implied incurring extraordinary expenses for its recovery, including personnel expenses related thereto.

RETURN ON EQUITY: Results explained mainly by better results obtained by the affiliates. EBITDA/OPERATING INTEREST (TIMES): Improved due to Better EBITDA resulting from increased revenues and optimization of expenses as well as lower interest associated to drop in debt. LIQUIDITY: Increase is due to increased marketable investments and reduced short-term debt, resulting from share issuances. Noteworthy is the fact that the electric energy transmission business is supported by a strong physical infrastructure; therefore, a large percentage of its expenses (depreciation, provisions and amortization) do not imply cash expenditure, which allows for coverage of short-term liabilities with cash flow from the business. INDEBTEDNESS: Reduction is explained by debt payment and increase in long-term investments, cash and marketable investments. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER: Its improvement is due to the decrease in accounts receivable from construction services customers. 137 Annual Report 2009 NOTE 26: TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES The main balances and transactions with related parties during 2009 and 2008 are: 2009 2,008 2008 2,009 Balances Equity investments TRANSELCA S.A.

Covenants or contracts with subsidiaries for the acquisition of goods and services take into account the terms, conditions and costs generally used by ISA with non-related third parties, i.e. the market conditions. Application of transfer pricing introduced by Law No 788 of December of 2002, started in January 1, 2004. This law states that transactions with related parties abroad should be priced at the same prices that would be applied to independent third parties. 139 Annual Report 2009 NOTE 27: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS At the beginning of the year 2009, CREG issued Resolution 011, to revise, among other issues, the transmission activity remuneration scheme, generating a reduction of unit costs recognized for the different constructive units (nearing 14%), an increase in the useful life of each one of them (from 25 years to 30 years for substation equipment and 40 years for transmission lines), a remuneration rate increase (from 9% to 11.5% annually in real terms before taxes), and a radical change in AOM expenses remuneration (going from a fixed as-new replacement value –VRN– percentage of assets to a scheme that aims to recognize efficient costs and expenses incurred by the transmission companies). Similarly, in the year 2008, CREG issued resolution 097, that modifies the distributors’ remuneration scheme, and changes parameters relevant for determining connection charges paid by distributors to the owners of the connection assets (among them ISA). These resolutions are not in force yet, (or only for some distributors), but they are expected to become binding in the first semester of 2010, when they will affect the Company’s financial situation: Resolution 011, because it will directly apply to the revenue for use of the STN received by ISA, and Resolution 097, because it becomes a reference to negotiate connection contracts and the charges the energy distributors pay us. Even though both resolutions will affect the company, their impact is not expected to be significant. For the second quarter of 2010, the Superintendency of Domiciliary Public Utilities-SSPD- has foreseen issuance of the resolution that will incorporate the General Accounting Model in convergence with international financial reporting standards. Such model might generate important changes in the recognition, valuation, and disclosure of financial information. The above notwithstanding, ISA must comply with the Public Accounting Regime established by Colombia’s General Accounting Office. The State, represented by Instituto Nacional de Concesiones –INCO–, and ISA, subscribed on January 28, 2010, the Inter-administrative agreement that will permit development of the Autopistas de la Montaña Project. Under such document ISA is bound to conduct engineering, environmental, traffic, legal and financial studies as well as to construct, operate, maintain and commercially exploit four road corridors with an approximate length of 1,251 km. According to preliminary studies carried out by ISA, the project’s estimated cost is $5,600,000 million, which shall be financed with contributions from: the National Government ($1,000,000 million) according to CONFIS document of January 27, 2010; the Antioquia Province Government ($600,000 million) as approved by the Antioquia Province Legislature; and the City of Medellín ($400,000 million) as approved by the city Council. Remaining $3,600,000 million will come from ISA’s capital contributions and financing to be obtained for the project. At the en of 2009, ISA reached an agreement with Spanish Cintra Infraestructuras to acquire 60% of the interest such company held in Cintra Chile Ltda., a company that controls five road concessions in Chile. The transaction for such 60% amounts to 7,150,000 Promotion Units, 140 Annual Report 2009 equity value, that equal, approximately, USD300 million (USD exchange rate and UF as of December 22, to be updated at closing); ISA has a purchase option and Cintra a sale option for the remaining 40% of capital. The effectiveness of such transaction is subject to the notices, authorizations and registrations required in Spain, Colombia, Chile and any other jurisdiction in which the participants are present. 141 Annual Report 2009 ABBREVIATIONS ACOLGEN: ASIC: BRL: CAN: CIGRE: CVM: CGN: CND: COP: CRD: CREG: CFO: CT: DIAN: ECA: EPR: ETECEN: FAER: FAZNI: FOES: HVDC: JPY: LAC: MEM: NDF: PLC: PRONE: PT: REP: RTU: SAC: SIC: FS: SID: STE: STN: UPME: USD: VQ: 142 Asociación Colombiana de Generadores (Colombian association of generators) Administration of the Commercial Settlement System Brazilian Real Andean Community of Nations International Council on Large Electric Systems Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (Brazil) National General Accounting Office: National Dispatch Center Colombian Pesos Regional Dispatch Center Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission Dark Fiber Current Transformer National Tax and Customs Direction Export Credit Agency Empresa Propietaria de la Red –EPR– Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica Centro Norte S.A.
