Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013 and

History and development of the Company
Empresa Distribuidora Norte S.A. (EDENOR S.A. or the Company) was organized on July 21, 1992 by Decree No. 714/92 in connection with the privatization and concession process of the distribution and sale of electric power carried out by Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires S.A. (SEGBA S.A.).
By means of an International Public Bidding, the Federal Government awarded 51% of the Company’s capital stock, represented by the Class “A” shares, to the bid made by Electricidad Argentina S.A. (EASA), the parent company of Edenor S.A. The award as well as the transfer contract were approved on August 24, 1992 by Decree No. 1,507/92 of the Federal Government.
On September 1, 1992, EASA took over the operations of EDENOR S.A.
The corporate purpose of EDENOR S.A. is to engage in the distribution and sale of electricity within the concession area. Furthermore, among other activities, the Company may subscribe or acquire shares of other electricity distribution companies, subject to the approval of the regulatory agency, lease the network to provide electricity transmission or other voice, data and image transmission services, and render advisory, training, maintenance, consulting, and management services and know-how related to the distribution of electricity both in Argentina and abroad. These activities may be conducted directly by EDENOR S.A. or through subsidiaries or related companies. In addition, the Company may act as trustee of trusts created under Argentine laws, including extending secured credit facilities to service vendors and suppliers acting in the distribution and sale of electricity, who have been granted guarantees by reciprocal guarantee companies owned by the Company.
Edenor S.A. and its indirectly controlled company EDEN, distribute electricity to more than 3 million customers in a concession area that is comprised of the northern area of the City of Buenos Aires and the northern and northwestern metropolitan areas of Greater Buenos Aires.
The Company’s economic and financial situation
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and in the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded negative operating and net results, with its liquidity level and working capital having been affected as well. This situation is due mainly to both the continuous increase of its operating costs that are necessary to maintain the level of the service, and the delay in obtaining rate increases and higher costs recognition (“CMM”), requested in the presentations made until now by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment Agreement, which have led the Company to report negative equity as of March 31, 2013.
It is worth mentioning that the Company has not only maintained the quality of the distribution service but also satisfied the constant year-on-year increase in the demand for electricity that has accompanied the economic growth of the last years. Due to both the continuous increase recorded in the costs associated with the provision of the service and the need for additional investments to meet the increased demand, the Company has adopted a series of measures aimed at mitigating the negative effects of this situation on its financial structure, such as reducing certain specified costs, selling certain investments, reducing top management personnel’s fees, seeking new financing options, refinancing the financial debt with extended maturity terms and/or deferring the timing for certain estimated capital expenditures; provided that these measures do not affect the sources of employment, the execution of the investment plan or the carrying out of the essential operation and maintenance works that are necessary to maintain the provision of the public service.
In this regard, and among other measures, the Company has (i) made all reasonable efforts to obtain from the authorities the funds necessary to face the salary increases demanded by unions; (ii) made arrangements for and obtained the payment in advance by the Federal Government of amounts relating to the Framework Agreement; (iii) collected the total amount of the loans granted to subsidiary companies (except for EDELAR), and (iv) sold or made available for sale the totality of its investments in subsidiaries.

EDENOR S.A.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012 (Continued)
Furthermore, the Company has made a series of presentations before control and regulatory authorities in order to jointly instrument the necessary mechanisms to contribute to an efficient provision of the distribution service, the maintenance of the level of investments and the compliance with the increased demand. In this context and in light of the situation that affects the electricity sector, the ENRE has issued Resolution 347/12, which established the application of fixed and variable charges that allowed the Company to obtain additional revenue as from November 2012. However, such additional revenue is insufficient to make up the aforementioned deficit due to the constant increase of operating costs and the increase in salary and third-party costs for the year 2013.
In view of the aforementioned, and given the inefficacy of the administrative and judicial actions pursued and presentations made by the Company, an action for the protection of the Company’s rights (“acción de amparo”) was brought against the ENRE so that the Regulatory Authority, in the performance of its duties, could adopt those measures which, in the Company’s opinion, are not only urgently needed but also essential for the provision of the public service of electricity distribution that the Company is required to provide under the concession agreement on a continuous, regular and safe basis. Specifically, this action was brought to abate the ENRE’s unlawful omission, as the Application Authority, to not only adjust the electricity rate schedule in accordance with the variations recorded in costs, as established in the agreement and the law, but also to carry out the Overall Electricity Rate Renegotiation process, thus preventing the Company from receiving, in consideration of the service currently provided, sufficient revenues to face the necessary operating costs and the indispensable and imperative investments to provide the service in a continuous, regular, and, mainly, safe manner (see note 9.b).
With the aim of maintaining and guaranteeing the provision of the public service, and in order to alleviate the financial situation, given the aforementioned cash deficit, as from October 2012 the Company found itself forced to partially cancel, on a temporary basis, the obligations with the Wholesale Electricity Market with surplus cash balances after having complied with the commitments necessary to guarantee the provision of the public service, including the investment plans underway and operation and maintenance works, as well as with the payment of the salary increases established by Resolution No. 1906/12 of the Secretariat of Labor dated November 27, 2012 and the Salary Agreement dated February 26, 2013 (see Notes 5.3.c) and 41 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2012). We consider this situation as a transitional system to be applied until the new regulatory model announced by the National Authorities, aimed at restoring the economic and financial equation of the Concession Agreement, is implemented. In connection with the aforementioned, the Company has been ordered by the ENRE and CAMMESA to cancel such debt. In its reply to the ENRE, the Company rejected the Regulatory Authority’s competence to intervene in its commercial issues with third parties, and, in its reply to CAMMESA, the Company stated that the cash deficit that prevents it from canceling the total amount of the debt is a case of force majeure inasmuch as the Company does not have the possibility of approving its electricity rates, but, at the same time, has to maintain the priority given to the operation of the public service.
Should the conditions existing at the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements continue, the Board of Directors believes that the Company’s economic and financial situation will continue to deteriorate and cash flows and operating results for the year 2013, and financial ratios, will be negatively impacted.
Furthermore, and as disclosed in Note 16 to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has reported negative equity, a situation which is currently being analyzed by the Board of Directors.
In light of the above-mentioned, the Company Board of Directors continues analyzing different scenarios and possibilities to mitigate or reduce the negative impact of the Company’s situation on its operating cash flows and thereby present the shareholders with diverse courses of action. Nevertheless, the improvement of revenues so as to balance the economic and financial equation of the concession continues to be the most relevant aspect.

EDENOR S.A.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012 (Continued)
The outcome of the overall electricity rate review is uncertain as to both its timing and final form. Therefore, the uncertainties of the previous year continued during the period being reported, thus if in fiscal year 2013: (i) the new electricity rate schedules are not issued by the ENRE; (ii) the Company is not granted other mechanism to compensate cost increases, in addition to the revenue obtained as a result of Resolution 347/12 or the funds derived from the PUREE, and/or; (iii) the Company does not obtain from the Federal Government other mechanism that provides it with financing for cost increases, it is likely that the Company will have insufficient liquidity and will therefore be obliged to implement various measures to preserve cash and enhance its liquidity. Additionally, the Company may not ensure that it will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. Therefore, should any of these measures, individually or in the aggregate, not be achieved, there is significant risk that such situation will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations. Edenor may need to enter into a renegotiation process with its suppliers and creditors in order to obtain changes in the terms of its obligations to ease the aforementioned financial situation.
Given the fact that the realization of the projected measures to revert the manifested negative trend depends, among other factors, on the occurrence of certain events that are not under the Company’s control, such as the requested electricity rate increases, the Board of Directors has raised substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in the term of the next fiscal year, being obliged to defer certain payment obligations, as previously mentioned, or unable to comply with the agreed-upon salary increases or the increases recorded in third-party costs.
Nevertheless, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, assuming that the Company will continue to operate normally. Therefore, they do not include the adjustments or reclassifications that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements there are no significant changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company as of December 31, 2012, except for the following:

Due to the events occurred between December 20 and December 31, 2010 in Edenor’s concession area, on February 9, 2011, the ENRE issued Resolution No. 32/11 pursuant to which a penalty procedure was initiated due to the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 25 sub-sections a), f) and g) of the Concession Agreement, Section 27 of Law No. 24,065, and ENRE Resolution No. 905/99.
On February 9, 2011, Edenor S.A. was notified of the issuance of ENRE Resolution No. 32/11, whereby the Company was fined in the amount of $ 1.1 million and ordered to compensate those customers who had been affected by the power cuts for an amount which, at March 31, 2013, totals approximately $ 31.8 million. These amounts have been recorded in the Other current liabilities account.
Edenor S.A. filed a direct appeal (“Recurso Directo”) with the Appellate Court in Contentious and Administrative Federal Matters No. I, requesting that the Resolution be declared null and void. Additionally, Edenor S.A. filed –with the same Court– a petition for the granting of a precautionary measure, aimed at suspending the application of the fine imposed until a decision on the direct appeal is issued. On March 23, 2011, the court ordered the suspension of the penalty (payment of the amounts imposed), until a decision on the precautionary measure petition filed by Edenor S.A. was rendered. Against this decision, the ENRE filed a post-judgment motion for reversal (“Recurso de Reposición”) which was rejected in all its terms. On April 28, 2011, the Court rejected the precautionary measure petition filed. Therefore, Edenor S.A. filed an extraordinary federal appeal (“Recurso Extraordinario Federal”), which –after having been made available to the ENRE- was dismissed. The Company then filed an appeal (“Recurso de Queja por apelación denegada”) with the Supreme Court requesting that the rejected extraordinary federal appeal be sustained, which as of to date has not been resolved. Furthermore, on July 8, 2011, Edenor S.A. requested that notice of the substance of the case be served on the ENRE. Having this procedural step been carried out and the service of notice been answered, on April 24, 2013, the Company was notified of the Appellate Court’s decision dated March 21, 2013, pursuant to which the appeal filed by Edenor against Resolution No. 32/11 was declared formally inadmissible due to the Company lack of payment of the fine imposed by the ENRE as a necessary prerequisite to having access to the judicial instance. The Company will file an appeal against such pronouncement with the Supreme Court.

On November 15, 2012, the Company was notified by the Regulatory Authority of ENRE Resolution No. 336/12, whereby the Regulatory Standards Compliance and Management Department of the ENRE was instructed to immediately initiate the corresponding penalty procedure pursuant to which distribution companies EDENOR and EDESUR S.A. are required to: a) determine the customers affected by the power cuts occurred as a consequence of failures between October 29 and November 14, 2012; b) determine the discounts to be recognized to each of them, and; c) credit them on account of the final discounts that will result from the evaluation of the Technical Service Quality relating to the six-month control period.
In addition, it was resolved that the Company and EDESUR S.A. be ordered to pay a compensation to each small-demand residential customer (T1R) who had been affected by the power cuts occurred during the aforementioned period, the amount of which will depend on the electricity outage duration, provided, however, that such power cut lasted more than 12 continuous hours. The provision recorded by the Company for these penalties and compensations amounts to $ 16.7 million.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial reporting” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 have not been audited. The Company’s management estimates that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of operations for each period. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 do not necessarily reflect the Company’s results in proportion to the full fiscal years.
Certain amounts disclosed in the financial statements as of March 31 and December 31, 2012 have been reclassified for comparative purposes following the disclosure criteria used for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013.
The consolidated Financial Statements are stated in thousands of Argentine pesos, unless specifically indicated otherwise.
These consolidated Financial Statements were approved for issue by the Company Board of Directors on May 9, 2013.
The accounting policies adopted for these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the last financial year ended December 31, 2012.
As from January 1, 2013, the Company has adopted IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement”.
IFRS 13 was issued in May 2011 and determines a single framework for fair value measurements when fair value is required by other standards. This IFRS applies to financial and non-financial elements measured at fair value, where fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The income tax expense relating to the interim periods is accrued on the basis of the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate expected for the full financial year.
There are no new IFRS or IFRIC applicable as from the period being reported that have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements must be read together with the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The Company’s activities expose it to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s risk management policies since the last fiscal year end.
5.1 | Fair value estimate |
The Company classifies the measurements of financial instruments at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the relevance of the variables used to carry out such measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
· Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
· Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).
· Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
The table below shows the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assessments concerning the future, exercise critical judgments and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.
These estimates and judgments are permanently evaluated and are based upon past experience and other factors that are reasonable under the existing circumstances. Future actual results may differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements.
In preparing these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, the critical judgments made by the Company when applying its accounting policies as well as the information sources used for the respective estimates are the same as those applied in the consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013 and

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, there are no significant changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company as of December 31, 2012, except for the following:
a. | Legal action brought by the Company (“EDENOR S.A. VS ENRE RESOLUTION NO. 32/11”) |
Purpose: The judicial annulment of ENRE Resolution that established the following:
- That the Company be fined in the amount of $ 750,000 due to its failure to comply with the obligations arising from Section 25, sub-sections a, f and g of the Concession Agreement and Section 27 of Law No. 24,065.
- That the Company be fined in the amount of $ 375,000 due to its failure to comply with the obligations arising from Section 25 of the Concession Agreement and Resolution No. 905/1999 of the ENRE.
- That Company customers be paid as compensation for the power cuts suffered the following amounts: $ 180 to each small-demand residential customer (T1R) who suffered power cuts that lasted more than 12 continuous hours, $ 350 to those who suffered power cuts that lasted more than 24 continuous hours, and $ 450 to those who suffered power cuts that lasted more than 48 continuous hours. The resolution stated that such compensation did not include damages to customer facilities and/or appliances, which were to be dealt with in accordance with a specific procedure.
Amount: $ 22.37 million.
Procedural stage of the proceedings: On July 8, 2011, the Company requested that notice of the substance of the case be served on the ENRE, which has effectively taken place. The proceedings are “awaiting resolution” since the date on which the ENRE answered the notice served. Furthermore, on October 28, 2011, the Company filed an appeal (“recurso de queja por apelación denegada”) with the Supreme Court concerning the provisional relief sought and not granted. On April 24, 2013, the Company was notified of the Appellate Court’s decision dated March 21, 2013, pursuant to which the appeal filed by Edenor was declared formally inadmissible. The Company and its legal advisors are analyzing the steps to be followed.

In addition to that mentioned in note 40 to the consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012, in February 2013 the Company received offers from two investment groups for the acquisition of the total number of shares of AESEBA, the controlling company of EDEN. On February 27, 2013, the Company Board of Directors unanimously approved the acceptance of the Offer Letter sent by Servicios Eléctricos Norte BA S.L. (the “Buyer”) for the acquisition of the shares representing 100% of AESEBA’s capital stock and voting rights. The price offered by the buyer will be paid through the delivery of Edenor’s debt securities for an amount equivalent, at the date of the acceptance of the offer, to USD 80 million. Such delivery will be guaranteed by a contribution of $326 million in Argentina’s sovereign debt bonds to be made by the Buyer to a trust.
The aforementioned trust was set up in March 2013 by the Settlor (the Buyer), the Trustee (Equity Trust Company from Uruguay) and Edenor S.A.
On April 5, 2013 (the closing date of the transaction), the trust received Argentine government bonds for the equivalent of $ 262 million nominal value, considering the market value of those government bonds at the date of the transaction. In this regard, and prior to December 31, 2013, the buyer will be required to deposit in the Trust Argentina’s sovereign debt bonds for an approximate amount equivalent to $ 64 million pesos considering the market value at the date of the transaction. As a result of the liquidation of the bonds received, the trust will purchase Edenor Class 9 and Class 7 Corporate Notes due in 2022 and 2017, respectively.
At the date of these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, the trust has purchased, in the open market, USD 17.3 million nominal value of Edenor Corporate Notes due in 2022.

On April 25, 2013, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the annual separate and consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012, and, due to the fact that the Company had become subject to compliance with the mandatory capital stock reduction established in section 206 of the Argentine Business Organizations Law (“whenever losses consume the reserves and 50% of capital stock”), the Shareholders’ Meeting also resolved to reduce capital stock by decreasing the number of shares while maintaining shareholding proportions (see note 16).
Such absorption will be made against the total amount of the additional paid-in capital and adjustment to capital accounts and against ten percent (10%) of the capital stock account.

EMPRESA DISTRIBUIDORA Y COMERCIALIZADORA NORTE S.A. (EDENOR S.A.)
6363 Del Libertador Ave. - Capital Federal
AS OF MARCH 31, 2013
These condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
1. | The Company’s activities |
(Not covered by the Independent Auditors’ Report)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos)
In the consolidated three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a net loss of 510,434. At the end of the period, the Company’s equity amounts to 19,939.
The consolidated operating loss amounted to 272,850.
The investment in property, plant and equipment totaled 189,872. This amount was mainly allocated to increasing service quality levels and meeting current and new customer demand.
Among the main activities developed, the following can be mentioned:
a. | Companies sale agreements and Companies available for sale |
In February 2013 the Company received offers from two investment groups for the acquisition of the total number of shares of AESEBA, the controlling company of EDEN. On February 27, 2013, the Company Board of Directors unanimously approved the acceptance of the Offer Letter sent by Servicios Eléctricos Norte BA S.L. (the “Buyer”) for the acquisition of the shares representing 100% of AESEBA’s capital stock and voting rights. The price offered by the buyer will be paid through the delivery of Edenor’s debt securities for an amount equivalent, at the date of the acceptance of the offer, to USD 80 million. Such delivery will be guaranteed by a contribution of $326 million in Argentina’s sovereign debt bonds to be made by the Buyer to a trust.
The aforementioned trust was set up in March 2013 by the Settlor (the Buyer), the Trustee (Equity Trust Company from Uruguay) and Edenor S.A.
On April 5, 2013 (the closing date of the transaction), the trust received Argentine government bonds for the equivalent of $ 262 million nominal value, considering the market value of those government bonds at the date of the transaction. In this regard, and prior to December 31, 2013, the buyer will be required to deposit in the Trust Argentina’s sovereign debt bonds for an approximate amount equivalent to $ 64 million pesos considering the market value at the date of the transaction. As a result of the liquidation of the bonds received, the trust will purchase Edenor Class 9 and Class 7 Corporate Notes due in 2022 and 2017, respectively.
At the date of these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, the trust has purchased, in the open market, USD 17.3 million nominal value of Edenor Corporate Notes due in 2022.
At the closing date of the transaction, the Company divests the AESEBA segment, which results in a loss of 96.3 million pesos after tax-related effects. The results associated with the repurchase of Edenor Corporate Notes will be recognized by the Company insofar as such transaction takes place.
35
b. | Electricity rates |
EDENOR S.A.
Due to the increase recorded in operating and maintenance costs in accordance with the criterion of the polynomial formula contemplated in the Adjustment Agreement, as of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has submitted to the ENRE the CMM adjustment requests, in accordance with the following detail:
Period | Application Date | CMM Adjustment |
November 2007 - April 2008 | May 2008 | 5.79% |
May 2008 – October 2008 | November 2008 | 5.68% |
November 2008 - April 2009 | May 2009 | 5.07% |
May 2009 – October 2009 | November 2009 | 5.04% |
November 2009 - April 2010 | May 2010 | 7.10% |
May 2010 - October 2010 | November 2010 | 7.24% |
November 2010 - April 2011 | May 2011 | 6.10% |
May 2011 – October 2011 | November 2011 | 7.72% |
November 2011 - April 2012 | May 2012 | 8.53% |
May 2012 – October 2012 | November 2012 | 7.32% |
As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the aforementioned indices as well as the real major costs that should be recognized and transferred to the tariff are pending approval by the ENRE. However, the Company has become aware of certain internal administrative proceedings through communications of the Regulatory Agency to the Management Control and Coordination Under-secretariat of the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services (MPFIPyS) in the framework of the provisions of Resolution 2000/05 of the MPFIPyS, according to which the analysis made by them shows percentages similar to those calculated by the Company with regard to CMM indices.
Based on this information, the Company has estimated that the claims effectively made for CMM adjustments, which were not transferred to tariffs nor authorized to be collected by other means, amount to approximately $ 1,999 million. In accordance with the Company’s estimate, the amount of the real major costs submitted in the presentations made and not yet authorized to be transferred to electricity rates is significantly higher than that determined after solely considering the CMM adjustments confirmed by the Regulatory Authority.
For these concepts, and until such time as the CMM adjustments are effectively transferred to tariffs, the distribution company is entitled to use PUREE excess funds, as established in Resolution 1037/07, Note No. 1383/08 of the Energy Under-secretariat and ENRE Note No. 83818. In this regard, and up to date, the Company has neither recognized nor accrued any amount receivable for this concept in these financial statements, until the provisions for the management and quantification thereof are determined by the competent authorities.
By Resolution 347/12, the ENRE established the application of a fixed and a variable charge associated with power to be included in customer bills, which the distribution company will collect on account of the CMM adjustments stipulated in section 4.2 of the Adjustment Agreement and specifically use for the making of investments and reactive maintenance tasks. Although in the whereas clauses and sections of the Resolution, the ENRE recognizes the existence of CMM adjustment requests and states that the authorized charges are granted in the framework of the Adjustment Agreement and that they will be considered as on account of the credits and debits that will result from the analysis to be made by the ENRE at the time of the RTI, it says nothing about what provisions will apply concerning the effect thereof for the period elapsed between the date such requests were made and the date of their application to the customer bill.
In this regard, the Company is currently analyzing the steps to be followed in order to obtain economic recognition of the CMM adjustments resulting from this new charge, which the Company estimates at approximately $ 1,661 million until the quantifications made by management are determined by the competent authority.
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 liabilities generated by the excess funds deriving from the application of the PUREE amount to $ 1,407.46 million and $ 1,277.76 million, respectively, and have been disclosed in the Other non-current liabilities account. This increase in liabilities is due to the fact that the Company was allowed to keep such funds (SE Resolution No. 1037/07, Note No. 1383/08 of the Energy Under-secretariat, and ENRE Note No 83,818) in order to cover the CMM increases not transferred to tariffs.
36
Furthermore, the necessary steps to regularize the situation are being taken in order to restore the economic and financial equation of the business, in view of the increases recorded in operating costs. At the same time, administrative and judicial actions have been brought aimed at obtaining both CMM recognition and that the Tariff Structure Review stipulated in the Adjustment Agreement, whose performance is pending, be carried out by the ENRE.

7. | Outlook |
(Not covered by the Independent Auditors’ Report)
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s activity continued to be developed in an adverse economic and financial context, as described in Note 1. Nevertheless, the Company was able to reasonably maintain its operating, commercial and administrative activities, complying with the required levels for the provision of services to its customers.
On November 27, 2012, the Secretariat of Labor, under the authority of the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security, established that as from January 1, 2013 the Company, as well as other companies of the Electric Power Sector, will be required to pay to its employees who are represented by the Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza de Capital Federal (Electric Light and Power Labor Union of the City of Buenos Aires) an amount of $2,410 that will be regarded as a salary item. Additionally, the Unions, the Federal Government and the Company entered into a salary agreement for a term of eighteen months which establishes an 18% increase as from January 2013, a 5% non-cumulative increase as from June 2013 and a 7% cumulative increase as from January 2014.
These situations have caused the Board of Directors to apply all the available resources to maintaining investments, achieving a balanced agreement with employees and maintaining the quality of the service.
The Federal Government’s decision to issue Resolution 347, pursuant to which distribution companies were authorized, as from November 23, 2012, to include in the bills a fixed amount for small-demand (T1) customers and a variable amount for medium and large-demand (T2 and T3) customers on a percentage of power charges, is a good sign and the beginning toward the energy sector’s regularization but could initially make the obtaining of an improvement in the Distribution Added Value (VAD) difficult.
Furthermore, it must be pointed out that the evolution of the levels of demand for electricity and the economic and financial development of the market in which the Company operates, among other factors, must be taken into account when assessing scenarios for the analysis of the corporate activity.
The Company has submitted to the National Regulatory Authority for the Distribution of Electricity the Cost Monitoring Mechanism (CMM) adjustment requests for the May 2008 – November 2012 periods, which are pending approval by the aforementioned Regulatory Authority.
Additionally, at March 31, 2013, the Company’s negative equity amounts to $ 92.25 million. Therefore, should this situation continue to remain by the end of the current fiscal year, the Company will be subject to complying with the provisions of Section 94, sub-section 5, of the Argentine Business Organizations Law No. 19,550, which provide for the dissolution of companies in the event of loss of capital stock.
As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company Board of Directors is analyzing different scenarios aimed at improving the Company’s financial situation.

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte
Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.)
Legal domicile: Avenida del Libertador 6363
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-65511620-2
1. | We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.) (hereinafter Edenor S.A.) and its subsidiaries which includes the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2013, the related condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, the condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in equity and the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month period then ended with the complementary Notes. The amounts and other information related to fiscal year 2012 and its interim periods, are part of the financial statements above mentioned and therefore should be considered in relation to those financial statements. |
2. | The preparation and issuance of these financial statements are the responsibility of the Company´s management, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) ,as the applicable accounting framework and incorporated by the National Securities Commission (CNV), as they were approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and, therefore, it’s responsible for the preparation and issuance of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial information”. Our responsibility, is to express a conclusion based on the limited review we have performed with the scope detailed in paragraph 3.. |
3. | Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established by Technical Pronouncement No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements for interim periods which consist mainly of the application of analytical procedures to the amounts disclosed in the financial statements and making inquiries of Company staff responsible for the preparation of the information included in the financial statements and its subsequent analysis. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the purpose of which is the expression of an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. Consequently, we do not express any opinion on the consolidated financial position, consolidated comprehensive loss and consolidated cash flow of Edenor S.A.. |
4. | In Note 1 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company informed that the delay in obtaining tariff increases and the cost adjustments recognition (“MMC”), requested in the presentations made until now by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment Agreement (“Acta Acuerdo”) described in Note 2 to those financial statements, and the continuous increase in operating expenses that are necessary to maintain the level of the service, significantly affected the economic and financial position of the Company. |
The Company recorded for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 a net loss of $ 510,434 thousand; accumulated losses for $ 1,395,564 thousand and working capital deficit. As mentioned in Note 1, Company Management estimates that if the conditions prevailing at the date of these financial statements remain unchanged, the situation will continue deteriorating. They also estimate negative cash flows and net losses from operations for the next fiscal year, as well as a worsening in the financial ratios. |
5. | Based in the situation detailed in Note 1 and as indicated in its accounting policies, the Company has prepared its projections to determine the recoverable value of its non-current assets, on the understanding that the electricity rates will be improved according to the circumstances. Both actual cash flows and future results may differ from the estimates and evaluations made by management at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In this regard, we are not in a position to foresee whether the assumptions used by management to prepare such projections will materialize in the future, and consequently, if the recoverable value of non-current assets will exceed their respective net book values. |
6. | The situations detailed in paragraphs 4. and 5. generate uncertainty as to the possibility of the Company continuing to operate as a going concern. The Company has prepared the financial statements using accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Therefore, those financial statements do not include the effects of possible adjustments or reclassifications, if any, that might be required if the above situation is not resolved in favor of continuing the Company’s operations and the Company were obliged to sell its assets and settle its liabilities, including contingent, in conditions other than those of the normal course of its business. |
7. | As indicated in Note 16, as of March 31, 2013, the Company has reported a negative equity of $ 92.25 million. Therefore, should this situation continue to remain by the end of the current fiscal year, the Company will be subject to complying with the provisions of Section 94, sub-section 5, of the Argentine Business Organizations Law No. 19,550, which provide for the dissolution of companies in the event of loss of capital stock. The Company’s shareholders should take the necessary actions to resolve this situation. |
8. | Based on our review, subject to the effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements that could derive from possible adjustments or reclassifications, if any, that might be required following resolution of the situations described in paragraphs 4., 5., and 6., nothing has came to our attention that causes as to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Edenor S.A. mentioned in paragraph 1., is not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34. |
9. | In compliance with regulations in force, we report that: |
a) | the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Edenor S.A., are transcribed into the “Inventory and Balance Sheet” book and, insofar as concerns our field of competence, are in compliance with the provisions of the Commercial Companies Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities Commission; | |
b) | the condensed interim separate financial statements of Edenor S.A. arise from accounting records kept in all formal respects in conformity with legal regulations, which maintain the security and integrity conditions on the basis of which they were authorized by the National Securities Commission; | |
c) | we have read the summary of activity, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence, we have no observations to make other than those in paragraphs 4., 5., and 6.; | |
d) | at March 31, 2013 the liabilities accrued in favor of the Argentine Integrated Social Security System according to the Company’s accounting records amounted to $ 71,828,690, which were not yet due at that date. |
