INTRODUCTION As used in this annual report onForm 20-F, first person personal pronouns
such as we, us or our refers to Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A., or
Endesa-Chile and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates
otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, our interest in our principal
subsidiaries and related companies is expressed in terms of our economic
interest as of December 31, 2003. 
 Financial Information In this annual report on Form 20-F, unless otherwise specified, references
to dollars, U.S. dollars, $ or US$ are to United States dollars;
references to pesos or Ch$ are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of
Chile; references to Ar$ or Argentine pesos are to the legal currency of
Argentina; references to R$, reals or reais are to Brazilian reals, the
legal currency of Brazil, references to soles are to Peruvian soles, the
legal currency of Peru, references to CPs or Colombian pesos are to the legal
currency of Colombia and references to UF are to Unidades de Fomento. The
Unidad de Fomento is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary
unit. The UF rate is set daily in advance based on changes in the previous
months inflation rate. As of December 31, 2003, 1 UF was equivalent to
Ch$16,920.00. The U.S. dollar equivalent of 1 UF was US$28.49 for December 31,
2003, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Banco Central de Chile
(the Chilean Central Bank or the Central Bank) for December 31, 2003 of
Ch$593.80 per US$1.00. As of July 26, 2004, 1 UF was equivalent
to CH$17,077.78. The U.S. dollar equivalent of 1 UF was
US$26.72 for July 26, 2004, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by
the Central Bank for July 26, 2004
of Ch$639.07 per US$1.00. The audited consolidated financial statements of Empresa Nacional de
Electricidad S.A., or Endesa-Chile (the Company), and, unless otherwise
indicated, other financial information concerning the Company included herein
are presented in constant Chilean pesos in conformity with Chilean generally
accepted accounting principles (Chilean GAAP) and the rules of the
Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros(Superintendency of Securities and
Insurance), or SVS. Data expressed in Chilean pesos for all periods in the
Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the three fiscal years
ended December 31, 2003 are expressed in constant Chilean pesos as of December
31, 2003. See Note 2(b) to the audited consolidated financial statements
included herein. For Chilean accounting purposes, inflation adjustments are
calculated based upon a one-month lag convention using an inflation
adjustment factor based on the Indice de Precios al Consumidor(Chilean
consumer price index or Chilean CPI). The Chilean CPI is published by
Chiles Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas(the National Bureau of
Statistics). For example, the inflation adjustment applicable for the 2003
calendar year is the percentage change between the November 2002 Chilean CPI
and the November 2003 Chilean CPI which was 1%. Chilean GAAP as applied to the
Company differs in certain important respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). See Note 34 to the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company contained elsewhere in
this annual report for a description of the principal differences between
Chilean GAAP and US GAAP, as they relate to the Company and a reconciliation to
US GAAP of net income and stockholders equity for the period and as of the
dates indicated. Certain amounts may not add up due to rounding. Under Chilean GAAP, we consolidate the results from operations of a
company defined as a subsidiary in Law No. 18,046. In order to consolidate a
company we must generally satisfy one of two criteria: We must either:  
    
    control, directly or indirectly, more than a 50% voting interest in such company; or
    
    nominate or have the power to nominate a majority of the board of
directors of such company if we control 50% or less of the voting
interest of such company. Endesa-Chile consolidates all its operational Chilean subsidiaries. In
Argentina, Endesa-Chile consolidates the hydroelectric company Hidroeléctrica
El Chocón S.A.(El Chocón) and the thermoelectric company Central Costanera
S.A(Costanera).In Colombia, Endesa-Chile consolidates generation companies
Hidroeléctrica Betania S.A.(Betania) and Emgesa S.A. E.S.P.(Emgesa).
Endesa-Chile also consolidates the hydroelectric company Centrais Eléctricas
Cachoeira Dourada S.A.(Cachoeira Dourada) in Brazil and the generation
company Edegel S.A.A.(Edegel) in Peru. Due to consolidating adjustments,
financial data reported by us relating to our consolidated subsidiaries may be
materially different from that reported by our consolidated subsidiaries on a
stand-alone basis.

For the convenience of the reader, this annual report contains
translations of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified
rates. Unless otherwise indicated, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information
in Chilean pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate, as defined in Item 3.
Key InformationSelected Financial DataExchange
Rates at December 31, 2003. The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos. No
representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar amounts shown in
this annual report could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or
Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at such rate or at any other rate. See
Item 3. Key InformationSelected Financial DataExchange Rates. 
 Technical Terms As used throughout, references to GW and GWh are to gigawatts and
gigawatt hours, respectively; references to MW and MWh are to megawatts and
megawatt hours, respectively; references to kW and kWh are to kilowatts and
kilowatt-hours, respectively; and references to kV are to kilovolts. Unless
otherwise indicated, statistics provided throughout this annual report with
respect to electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW, in the case
of the installed capacity of such facilities, and in GWh, in the case of the
aggregate annual electricity production of such facilities. One GW = 1,000 MW,
and one MW = 1,000 kW. Statistics relating to aggregate annual electricity
production are expressed in GWh and are based on a year of 8,760 hours.
Statistics relating to installed capacity and production of the electricity
industry do not include electricity of self-generators. Statistics relating to
our production do not include electricity consumed by us. Technical losses are calculated by:  
    
    subtracting the number of GWh of energy sold from the number of
energy purchased and generated within a given period. 
 Calculation of Economic Interest References are made throughout this annual report to the economic
interest of Endesa-Chile in its subsidiaries or related companies. In
circumstances where the Company does not own its interest in a subsidiary or
related company directly, the economic interest of Endesa-Chile in such
ultimate subsidiary or related company is calculated by multiplying the
percentage ownership interest of the Company in a directly held subsidiary or
related company by the percentage ownership interest of any entity in the chain
of ownership of such ultimate subsidiary or related company. For example, if
Endesa-Chile owns 60% of a directly held subsidiary and that subsidiary owns
40% of a related company, Endesa-Chiles economic ownership interest in such
related company would be 24%. Enersis S.A. (Enersis), a holding company engaged in generation,
transmission and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia and Peru, beneficially owned as of the date of this annual report,
directly or indirectly, 60% of Endesa-Chiles outstanding capital stock.

forward-looking statements. These statements appear throughout this annual
report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current
expectations, including but not limited to any statements concerning:  

PART I 
 Item 1. Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers Not applicable. 
 Item 2. Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable Not applicable. 
 Item 3. Key Information A. Selected financial data. The following summary of consolidated selected financial and operating
data should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the Companys audited consolidated financial statements, included
elsewhere in this annual report. The audited consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with Chilean GAAP and the rules of the SVS, which
together differ in certain important respects from US GAAP. Note 34 to the
audited consolidated financial statements provides a description of the
principal differences between Chilean GAAP and US GAAP and a reconciliation to
US GAAP of net income and total shareholders equity for the periods and as of
the dates therein indicated. Financial data as of or for each of the five
years ended December 31, 2003 in the following table have been restated in
constant Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003. All data, except ratios and operating data, are in millions. For the
convenience of the reader, all data presented in U.S. dollars, in the
following summary, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2003 are translated at the Observed Exchange Rate
for July 26, 2004 of Ch$639.07 per
US$1.00. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying
rate for Chilean pesos. No representation is made that the Chilean peso or
U.S. dollar amounts shown in this annual report could have been or could be
converted into U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, at such rate or at any other
rate. For more information concerning historical exchange rates, see
"Exchange Rates below. On June 23, 2003, we sold Infraestructura Dos Mil S.A., or Infraestructura
Dos Mil. Under Chilean GAAP, we ceased consolidating Infraestructura Dos Mil
with effect from January 1, 2003, and as a result this company will not be
reflected in our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
2003. Our other principal operating subsidiaries were consolidated prior to
1998. All companies have been consolidated according to Chilean GAAP. The information detailed in the following table includes changes in
certain accounting policies for the five years ended and as of December 31,
2003, which affect the comparability presented below. Beginning January 1,
2000, the Company adopted new accounting policies concerning the accounting for
deferred taxes in accordance with a new Chilean accounting system. See Item
5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsCritical Accounting
PoliciesIncome and Deferred Taxes. 4

    Solely for the convenience of the reader, Chilean peso amounts have been
translated into dollars at the rate of Ch$639.07 per U.S. dollar, the
Observed Exchange Rate as of July 26, 2004. You should not construe
the translation of currency amounts in this annual report to be a
representation that the Chilean peso amounts actually represent current
U.S. dollar amounts or that you could convert Chilean peso amounts into
U.S. dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate.(2)
    
    Per ADS amounts in millions of constant Chilean pesos are determined by
multiplying per share amounts by 30 (1 ADS = 30 Shares). Per share amounts
in millions of US$ are determined by dividing per ADS amounts by 30.(3)
    
    This chart details dividends payable in any given year, and not
necessarily paid that same year.(4)
    
    US dollar amounts are calculated by applying the US dollar exchange rate
on the dividend payment date to the nominal Chilean peso amount.(5)
    
    Capital expenditures does not include investments in equity investees and
capital expenditures in development stage subsidiaries.(6)
    
    For reconciliation from Chilean GAAP to US GAAP see Note 34  Differences
between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles of the consolidated financial statements. Exchange Rates Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S.
dollar will affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Chilean peso price of
Endesa-Chiles shares of common stock, without par value (the Shares or the
Common Stock), of the Company on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the
Santiago Stock Exchange), the Bolsa Electrónica de Chile (the Electronic
Exchange) and the Bolsa de Corredores de Valparaíso (the Valparaíso Stock
Exchange) (collectively, the Chilean Exchanges), and, as a result, will
likely affect the spot price of the Companys American Depositary Shares
(ADSs). Such fluctuations will also affect conversion of cash dividends
relating to the Shares represented by ADSs from Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars.
In addition, to the extent financial liabilities of the Company are denominated
in foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant impact
on earnings. In Chile, the Ley Orgánica del Banco Central de Chile No. 18840 (the
Central Bank Act), enacted in 1989, liberalized the ability to buy and sell
foreign exchange in Chile. The Central Bank Act currently provides that the
Central Bank may require that certain purchases and sales of foreign exchange
be carried out in the Mercado Cambiario Formal (the Formal Exchange Market),
a market formed by banks and other entities explicitly authorized by the
Central Bank. Purchases and sales of foreign exchange, which are generally
permitted to be 6

transacted outside the Formal Exchange Market, can be carried out in the
Mercado Cambiario Informal (the Informal Exchange Market), which is a
recognized currency market in Chile. Free market forces drive both the Formal
and Informal Exchange Markets. Foreign exchange for payments and distributions
with respect to the ADSs may be purchased in either the Formal Exchange Market
or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments and distributions must be
necessarily remitted through the Formal Exchange Market. For the purposes of the operation of the Formal Exchange Market, the
Chilean Central Bank sets a reference exchange rate (dólar acuerdoor the
Reference Exchange Rate). The Reference Exchange Rate is reset daily by the
Central Bank, taking into account internal and external inflation and
variations in parities between the Chilean peso and each of the U.S. dollar,
the Japanese yen and the Euro in a ratio of 80:5:15, respectively. The daily
observed exchange rate (dólar observado) (the Observed Exchange Rate)
reported by the Central Bank and published daily in the Chilean newspapers is
computed by taking the weighted average of the previous business days
transactions in the Formal Exchange Market. The Informal Exchange Market reflects transactions carried out at informal
exchange rates (the Informal Exchange Rate) by entities not expressly
authorized to operate in the Formal Exchange Market (e.g., certain foreign
exchange houses, travel agencies and others). There are no limits imposed on
the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can
fluctuate above or below the Observed Exchange Rate. Since 1993, the Observed
Exchange Rate and the Informal Exchange Rate have typically been within less
than 1% of each other. On December 31, 2003, the Informal Exchange Rate was
Ch$593.40, or 0.07% higher than the published Observed Exchange Rate of
Ch$593.8 Per US$1.00. On July 26, 2004, the Informal Exchange rate was
Ch$642.50, or 0.54% higher than the published Observed Exchange Rate of
Ch$639.07 per U.S.$1.00 corresponding to such date. The following table sets forth, for the periods and dates indicated,
certain information concerning the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the
Central Bank. No representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar
amounts referred to herein could have been or could be converted into U.S.
dollars or Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at the rates indicated or at any
other rate. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying
rate for Chilean pesos. Observed Exchange Rate(1)(Ch$ per US$)Year

B. Capitalization and indebtedness. Not applicable. C. Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds. Not applicable. D. Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our Operations Since our business depends heavily on hydrological conditions, drought
conditions may hurt our profitability. Approximately 66% of our consolidated generation capacity in Chile,
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru is hydroelectric and, accordingly, we are
dependent upon hydrological conditions prevailing, from time to time, in the
geographic regions in which we operate. In particular, we are exposed to the
risks discussed below. During periods of drought, thermal generators, including those that are
fueled with natural gas or coal, are dispatched more frequently. During such
periods, we are required to purchase electricity from thermal producers to the
extent our own production is not sufficient to fulfill contractual obligations.
The cost of these electricity pool market purchases may exceed the price at
which we sell electricity under contracts, resulting in a loss. With the aim of partially decreasing the effects of a protracted future
drought, beginning in 2000 our company including its generation subsidiaries
has changed its commercial policy by decreasing its contractual energy sales
levels to better match the amount of firm energy associated with its installed
capacity, giving priority to its higher-paying clients and to industrial firms
that demand larger amounts of energy, and limiting contractual sales to
regulated customers, including distribution companies. It is not certain
whether this new policy will insulate Endesa-Chile and its operations from
negative consequences of a protracted drought period. The Chilean regulatory authorities may impose fines on us and our Chilean
generation subsidiaries due to operational failures in the electricity system. Under current Chilean law, the company and its Chilean generation
subsidiaries may be required to pay the following costs or penalties, imposed
by the Chilean regulatory authorities, during periods of electricity system
failures. Our company and its Chilean generation subsidiaries may be subject to
regulatory fines, which range from 1 Unidad Tributaria Mensual (UTM), or
approximately US$50.0, to 10,000 Unidades Tributarias Anuales (UTA), or
approximately US$6.0 million. Any electricity company supervised by the
Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles(Chilean Superintendence of
Electricity and Fuels) or SEF, may be subject to higher costs when the regular
energy supply to the system is affected by operational failures, including
failing to adequately react to a fault in the system, that in the determination
of the SEF, are due to the negligence or fault of the Company. On August 14, 2003, the SEF imposed fines on our company and our
generation subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of approximately US$2.3 million
due to a failure in the transmission of energy to end-users of electricity in
the Metropolitan Region of Chile on September 23, 2002. Our subsidiaries are
currently appealing these fines. Additionally, on April 27 and May 3, 2004,
the SEF imposed fines on both Endesa-Chile and Chilectra in an aggregate amount
of approximately US$2.0 million due to a black out that occurred in the
Metropolitan Region on January 13, 2003. Endesa-Chile and Chilectra are
currently appealing these fines, however, no assurance can be given that these
appeals will be successful. Chilean electricity regulations may impose additional operating costs on us
and generation subsidiaries and cause our revenues to decline. Electricity Rationing:If we and our Chilean generation subsidiaries are
unable to fulfill our contracts during periods of electricity rationing, we may
be subject to higher operational costs. The Chilean government can impose 8

##### Table of Contents



electricity rationing, limiting the amount of electricity we can generate,
during drought conditions or prolonged failures in the countrys thermoelectric
facilities. If, due to the rationing, we are unable to generate enough
electricity to fulfill our contracts we may be forced to buy electricity on the
pool market at the spot price. The spot price may be significantly higher than
our costs to generate the electricity and can be as high as the cost of
failure set by the Comisión Nacional de Energía(National Energy Commission),
or the CNE. The cost of failure is determined by the CNEs economic models
as the highest cost of electricity during periods of drought or electricity
deficiency. If we are unable to buy enough electricity in the pool market to
satisfy all our contracts, then we would have to compensate our regulated
customers for the amount of contracted-for electricity we failed to provide at
the cost of failure. If rationing policies are imposed by any regulatory authorities in Chile,
our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected
adversely in a material way. Rationing periods may occur in the future, and
consequently we and our generation subsidiaries, might be obligated to increase
operational costs as described above if such subsidiaries fail to provide
adequate service under such conditions. Resolution 88:In May 2001, the Chilean Ministry of Economics issued
Resolution 88, under which electricity generators are required to provide power
to distribution companies in the Sistema Interconectado Central, or SIC if
distribution companies are not able to freely contract adequate power supply to
deliver to their customers. Under the terms of Resolution 88, each generator
must supply power to such distributors in proportion to the generators share
of total firm energy in the SIC at a price equal to the node price. If we
cannot produce sufficient energy ourselves to supply the distribution
companies needs, we are required to purchase energy on the spot market, where
prices may be significantly higher than the node price at which we sell to
distributors. In addition, the requirement to sell to distributors may limit
our ability to expand sales to non-regulated customers. We consider Resolution
88 to be unconstitutional because it violates property rights. We also believe
that Resolution 88 violates our freedom to contract and enter into energy
transactions and we have requested that it be nullified. However, if our
request to nullify Resolution 88 (demanda de nulidad de derecho público) is
denied by the local civil court, Resolution 88s supply requirements may remain
in effect, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our future
profitability. Our profitability and business could be adversely affected by the proposals
being considered by the Chilean Congress with respect to our water rights. Approximately 72% of our installed capacity in Chile is hydroelectric.
For the operation of our plants we own water rights granted by the Chilean
Water Authority. Under current law, these water rights are of unlimited
duration. They are absolute and unconditional property rights and are not
subject to any further challenge. The Chilean Congress has been discussing a
proposal to amend the laws governing water rights, under which we would have to
pay a fee for each year we do not utilize the rights we own. This fee would be
imposed whether such rights were granted before or after the enactment of such
proposal. We are unable to predict whether, or in what form, any such proposed
changes to the laws governing water rights will be enacted. There can be no
assurance that any changes would not, if enacted, have a material adverse
effect on us and our operations. We may experience higher generation costs and reduced operating margins due to
the deficit of natural gas in Argentina. The recent natural gas deficit in Argentina could have a negative impact
on some of our generation plants in Chile and Argentina particularly those that
utilize Argentinean natural gas. In Argentina, this deficit has caused the local price of natural gas to
rise. If we are unable to pass along these higher costs to our customers, our
operating margins could decrease. In Chile, Endesa-Chile, and one related company currently rely on natural
gas for their thermoelectric generation and are parties to take or pay gas
contracts with Argentine suppliers. On March 26, 2004, the Argentine
government announced a resolution that allows for the partial suspension of
natural gas exports. Furthermore, the resolution gives the Argentine President
the authority to temporarily suspend the long-term supply contracts of
Argentine exporters. If we experience continuous interruptions in the supply
of natural gas from Argentina, we 9

##### Table of Contents



could have to replace natural gas with more expensive fuels such as coal
and/or diesel to maintain our current generation level, resulting in higher
generation costs and lower operating margins. We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries to meet our payment
obligations. In order to pay our obligations, we rely on cash from dividends, loan
payments, and other distributions from our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay
debt and interest will be partially dependent on the receipt of distributions
from our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries and equity affiliates are separate and
distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay
amounts due or to make any funds available to pay any amount and do not
guarantee payment of interest on or principal of any indebtedness of the
company. In addition, the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, make
loan payments, and other distributions to Endesa-Chile is subject to legal
limits such as dividend restrictions and fiduciary duties, contractual
limitations, foreign exchange controls that may be imposed in any of the five
countries where our subsidiaries operate. Our Subsidiaries and equity
affiliates may be additionally limited by their operating results. We
generally have been able to access the cash flows of our Chilean subsidiaries.
We have not been similarly able to access the cash flows of our non-Chilean
operating subsidiaries due to government regulations, strategic considerations,
economic conditions, and credit agreement restrictions. Our future results from operations outside of Chile may continue to be
subject to greater economic and political risks than what we have experienced
in Chile, thereby reducing the likelihood that we will be able to rely on cash
flow from operations in those entities to repay debts. Dividend Limits and Other Legal Restrictions. We and our Chilean
subsidiaries are subject to customary legal restrictions limiting the amount of
dividend distributions to net income. Some of our non-Chilean subsidiaries are
also subject to legal reserve requirements and other restrictions on dividend
payments. In addition, the ability of any of our less-than-wholly owned
subsidiaries to upstream cash to us may be limited by the fiduciary duties of
the directors of such subsidiaries to their minority shareholders. As a
consequence of such duties, any of our subsidiaries could under, certain
circumstances, be prevented from up streaming cash to us. Contractual Limitations. Specific upstreaming restrictions in our
subsidiaries contractual agreements include:  
    
    prohibitions against dividend distributions by Empresa Eléctrica
Pangue S.A., or Pangue, our Chilean generation subsidiary, if it is not
in compliance with certain debt to equity ratios and debt coverage
ratios (each as defined in Pangues credit agreements);
    
    prohibitions against dividend distributions by Edegel in Peru, and
Betania in Colombia in the case of default of certain loans;
    
    prohibitions against repayments by Betania in Colombia of
intercompany debt unless Betania raises additional funds from the sale
of assets or capital reductions of its subsidiaries (Emgesa), and
against payments by Betania of interest on intercompany debt if any
scheduled payment of Betanias syndicated loan is due and not paid;
    
    prohibitions against dividend distributions, capital reductions,
intercompany interest payments and debt repayment of Costanera in
Argentina while certain of its debt is outstanding. We are not aware of any contractual limitations on our equity affiliates
ability to pay dividends and other distributions to us. Operating Results at Our Subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries
and equity affiliates to pay dividends, loan payments and other distributions
to us are limited by their operating results. To the extent that the cash
requirements at any of our subsidiaries exceed its available cash, that
subsidiary will not be able to make cash available to us. We expect that in
2004 some of our non-Chilean subsidiaries may experience cash flow deficits and
not have funds available for distribution to us. For example, lower energy
prices in Brazil and current regulations in Argentina have resulted in breaches
of contracts by counterparties to our subsidiaries and equity affiliates, which
may impact the amount of dividends and distributions we receive from the
investments in those countries. Our future results of operations outside Chile
may continue to be subject to greater economic and political risks than 10

what we have experienced in Chile, thereby reducing the likelihood that we
will be able to rely on cash flow from operations in those subsidiaries. In April 2003, Companhia Elétrica de Estado de Goiás S.A.(CELG), the
sole customer of Endesa-Chiles Brazilian subsidiary Cachoeira Dourada, was
awarded a preliminary and provisional judgment that permitted CELG to suspend
its payments under a long-term take-or-pay contract with Cachoeira Dourada. As
of December 31, 2003, CELG owed Cachoeira Dourada US$10.9 million under the
contract. On June 16, the preliminary and provisional Judgment was revoked,
which obliges CELG to pay 100% of the contract, including payments due for all
of 2003. CELG has petitioned for reconsideration of this decision. A final
unfavorable decision would mean that Cachoeira Dourada would receive
significantly lower payments from its only customer, which would affect the
amount of dividend payments Cachoeira Dourada can make to Endesa-Chile. Foreign Exchange Controls. The ability of our non-Chilean subsidiaries
and equity affiliates to pay dividends and make loan payments or other
distributions to us may be subject to emergency restrictions that may be
imposed by Central Banks or other governmental authorities in the various
jurisdictions in which we operate. For example, during the economic crisis in
Argentina, the Central Bank of Argentina imposed restrictions on the transfer
of funds outside of Argentina. We are subject to contractual provisions under our existing indebtedness. A significant portion of our financial indebtedness is subject to
cross-default provisions. Defaults in relation to any single indebtedness of
ours or our most relevant subsidiaries with an outstanding amount equal to or
in excess of US$30 million after the applicable grace periods (if any) have
expired could give rise to a cross-default under most of our bank debt. In
addition, a payment default by us or any of our subsidiaries on any
indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount exceeding US$30 million,
would trigger an event of default on our SEC-registered notes. Finally, any
event of default arising under those notes would trigger a cross-default under
most of our existing bank credit agreements. In the event that any of our
cross-default provisions are triggered and our existing creditors demand
immediate repayment, substantially of our indebtedness will become due and we
could be unable to pay such debt. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review
and ProspectsLiquidity and Capital Resources. We and our subsidiaries may be subject to refinancing risk. We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness or obtain such financing on
terms acceptable to us. In the absence of such refinancing, we could be forced
to dispose of assets in order to make up for any shortfall in the payments due
on our indebtedness under circumstances that might not be favorable to obtaning
the best price for such assets. Furthermore, assets may not be sold quickly
enough, or for amounts sufficient to enable us to make such payments. See
Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsTabular disclosures of
contractual obligations. For details on the situation of refinancing in Argentina, see Risk
Factors relating to Argentina. Foreign exchange risks may adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition. The Chilean peso and the other Latin American currencies in which we and
our subsidiaries operate have been subject to large devaluations and
revaluations against the U.S. dollar in the past and may be subject to
significant fluctuations in the future. Historically, a significant portion of
our consolidated indebtedness has been denominated in U.S. dollars and,
although a substantial portion of our revenues are linked to U.S. dollars, we
generally have been and continue to be materially exposed to fluctuations of
our local currencies against the dollar because of procedural delays and other
limitations in the indexation of our tariffs to the U.S. dollar. Moreover, in the case of our Argentine subsidiaries, regulatory changes
introduced in 2002 eliminated dollar indexation altogether, which together with
an increase of approximately 240% of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar
and pesification of our contractual rates, resulted in a reduction of net cash
generation. Future volatility in the exchange rate of the Chilean peso, and
the other currencies in which we receive revenues or incur expenditures, to the
U.S. dollar, may affect our financial condition and results of operations. For

on the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, see Item 11.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RiskForeign Currency
Risk. As of December 31, 2003, Endesa-Chile had total consolidated indebtedness
of US$4,187 million, of which US$3,225 million, or 77%, was denominated in U.S.
dollars. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2003, our revenues
amounted to US$1,550 million of which US$422 million, or 27%, were denominated
in U.S. dollars, and US$598 million, or 39% were linked in some way to the U.S.
dollar. In aggregate, 66% of our consolidated revenues were either in U.S.
dollars or correlated to such currency through some form of indexation. On the
other hand, the equivalent of US$77 million were revenues in pesos, which
represents 5% of our 2003 consolidated revenues. We believe that we remain
exposed to risk due to fluctuations of the Chilean peso to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso, and as of December
31, 2003, our foreign-currency denominated consolidated indebtedness included
the equivalent of US$14 million in Brazilian reais, US$282 million in Colombian
pesos, US$106 million in Peruvian soles, and US$23 million in Argentine pesos,
for an aggregate of US$425 million in currencies other than the Chilean peso
and the U.S. dollar. At the same time, revenues in these other currencies for
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2003, included the equivalent of
US$52 million in Brazilian reais, US$233 million in Colombian pesos, US$116
million in Argentine pesos, and US$51 million in Peruvian soles, for an
aggregate of US$452 million in such currencies. Despite the fact that we have
both revenues and debt in these same currencies, we believe that we are exposed
to risk in terms of our foreign exchange exposure to these four currencies. The impact on the value of our assets of high levels of devaluation in the
countries in which we operate outside Chile may not be reflected on our
reported financial condition as a result of Chilean accounting treatment. The manner in which we restate our foreign investments under Chilean GAAP
requires us to translate non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities of
our non-Chilean subsidiaries and equity affiliates into U.S. dollars at
historical rates of exchange. This accounting treatment may have the effect of
excluding from our reported balance sheet the effect of devaluation on our
non-monetary assets in the countries in which our subsidiaries and investments
are located because devaluations of the local currency against the dollar or
the Chilean peso are not reflected. See Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and ProspectsCritical Accounting PoliciesTechnical Bulletin No. 64. Environmental regulations in the countries in which we operate can increase
our costs of operations. We are subject to environmental regulations, which, among other things,
require us to perform environmental impact studies on future projects and
obtain regulatory permits. As with any regulated company, no assurance can be
given that any such environmental impact study will be approved by governmental
authorities, that public opposition will not result in delays or modifications
to any of our proposed projects or that laws or regulations will not change or
be interpreted in a manner that could adversely affect our operations or plans
for the companies in which we have an investment. We are currently involved in various litigation proceedings which could result
in unfavorable decisions and/or financial penalties for us, and we will
continue to be subject to future litigation proceedings, any of which could
have material adverse consequences to our business. We are party to a number of legal proceedings, some of which have been
pending for several years. We cannot be certain that these claims will be
resolved in our favor. Our financial condition or results of operations could
be adversely affected to a material extent if certain of these claims are
resolved against us. For a list of pending litigation matters to which we are
subject, see the section entitled Item 8. Financial InformationConsolidated
Statements and Other Financial InformationLegal Proceedings. There are potential conflicts of interest with our affiliates which could
adversely affect our business. Endesa-Spain currently owns 60.6% of Enersis share capital, and Enersis
has a 60% share interest in Endesa-Chile. Therefore, Endesa-Spain and Enersis
have the power to determine the outcome of substantially all matters to be
decided by a vote of our shareholders, such as the election of our board
members and, subject to contractual and 12

##### Table of Contents



legal restrictions, the distribution of dividends. Endesa-Spain and
Enersis can also exercise influence over our operations and business
strategies. Endesa-Spain conducts its business in Latin America through
Enersis and Endesa-Chile in the generation area, and through affiliates not
consolidated by us. To the extent any conflict arises between our interests
and those of Endesa-Spains other businesses in any jurisdiction in Latin
America, Endesa-Spain might have a conflict of interest, which could have an
adverse effect on our business. Certain of our directors are officers of Endesa-Spain and officers and
directors of certain subsidiaries of Endesa-Spain. For more information about
these directors please refer to Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and
Employees  Directors and Senior Management. We sell electricity to other companies controlled by Endesa-Spain at
regulated prices and have entered into contracts for other services with other
companies under the common control of Endesa-Spain or the Endesa Group. We
believe that the amounts of these contracts are not material to Endesa-Chile or
to the other companies within the Endesa Group. The values of our long-term energy supply contracts are subject to
fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities. We have economic exposure to fluctuations in the market price of certain
commodities as a result of the long-term energy sales contracts to which we are
a party. We engage in a material amount of long-term, fixed-price electricity
sale contracts, the value of which fluctuates with the market price of
electricity. In addition, we are the selling party in a material amount of
long-term energy supply contracts with prices that vary in accordance with the
market price of electricity, water levels in our reservoirs, the market prices
of primary materials such as natural gas, oil, coal and other energy-related
products, as well as the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. Changes in the
market price of these commodities and exchange rate do not always correlate
with changes in the market price of electricity or with our cost of production
of electricity; accordingly, there may be times when the price paid to us under
these contracts is less than our cost of production or acquisition of
electricity. We do not carry out transactions in commodity derivative
instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. Under
Chilean GAAP, we do not reflect in our income statement fluctuations in the
fair value of our long-term energy contracts, although we are required to do so
under US GAAP. As a matter of policy, we do not enter into supply contracts
for amounts of electricity in excess of our firm capacity under adverse
hydrological conditions. For further discussion of commodity price risk,
please refer to Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk. Risk Factors Relating to Chile Our business is dependent on the Chilean economy and our revenues are
sensitive to its performance. A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in Chile,
and accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are to a
certain extent dependent upon economic conditions prevailing in Chile. In 2003,
the Chilean economy grew 3.3% in and 2002 it grew 2.1%. The Central Bank
recently reclassified its criteria for growth estimates, and the figures for
2001, 2002 and 2003 and reported in our 2002 Form 20-F are different from those
reported in prior annual reports. The latest Chilean Central bank forecasts
for GDP growth are between 4.0% and 5.0% for 2004 and greater than 4.0% for
2005 (Central Bank Informe Política Monetaria, May 2004). There is no
assurance that such growth will be achieved in 2004 and 2005 nor that the
growth trend will continue in the future or that future developments in the
Chilean economy will not impair our ability to proceed with our strategic plans
or impact our financial condition or results from operations adversely. Our
financial condition and results from operations could also be affected by
changes in economic or other policies of the Chilean government, which has
exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects
of the private sector. In addition, our financial condition and results from
operations could also be affected by other political developments in Chile or
administrative practices of Chilean authorities, over which we have no control. Chilean government debt has recently been upgraded to A by Standard &
Poors and is the only South American government debt that has an investment
grade rating. 13

Increased inflation in Chile may affect our results from operations adversely. Although Chilean inflation has been under control in recent years, Chile
has experienced high levels of inflation in the past. High levels of inflation
in Chile could adversely affect the Chilean economy. The Chilean Consumer
Price Index, or Chilean CPI, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2003 was 1%.
Government officials expect Chilean CPI to be approximately 2.0% and 3.0% for
years 2004 and 2005, respectively. Historically, a substantial part of our
expenses has been denominated in Chilean pesos, and any future increases in
Chilean inflation could cause our expenses to rise significantly. As a result,
the level of Chilean inflation may affect our financial condition and results
of operations. We believe that moderate inflation will not materially affect our business
in Chile. Electricity tariffs in Chile contain indexing mechanisms that are
intended to neutralize the effects of inflation. However, we believe that the
performance of the Chilean economy, our operating results, or the value of
securities issued by us, could be affected adversely if the level of Chilean
inflation rises significantly. Lawsuits against us brought outside Chile or complaints against us based on
foreign legal concepts may be unsuccessful. We are incorporated under the laws of Chile and substantially all of our
assets are located in Chile or elsewhere outside the United States. All of our
directors and officers reside outside the United States, and most of their
assets are located outside the United States as well. If any shareholder were
to bring a lawsuit against our directors, officers or experts in the United
States, it may be difficult for them to effect service of legal process within
the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them, in United
States courts, judgments obtained in the United States courts based upon the
civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, there is doubt as to whether an action could be brought
successfully in Chile in the first instance on the basis of liability based
solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal
securities laws. Construction of new facilities may be adversely affected by factors associated with new construction projects. Factors that may adversely affect our ability to build new facilities include:  
    
    the inability to obtain financing at affordable rates;
    
    delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits;
    
    shortages or changes in the prices of equipment, materials or labor;
    
    local opposition of political and ethnic groups;
    
    adverse changes in the political and regulatory environment in the
countries where Endesa-Chile and its related companies operate; and
    
    adverse weather conditions, which may delay the completion of power
plants or substations, or natural disasters, accidents or other
unforeseen events. Any of these factors may cause delays in the completion of all or part of
Endesa-Chiles capital investments program and may increase the cost of the
projects contemplated. The relative illiquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets could
affect the price of the Endesa-Chiles ADSs and common stock adversely. Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller and less liquid than
the major securities markets in the United States. In addition, Chilean
securities markets may be affected materially by developments in other emerging
markets, particularly other countries in Latin America. The low liquidity of
the Chilean market may impair the ability of holders of ADSs to sell shares of
our common stock withdrawn from the ADS program into the Chilean market in the
amount and at the price and time they wish to do so. 14

Risk Factors Relating to Argentina The current macroeconomic and political situation in Argentina and changes to
regulations affecting our Argentine subsidiaries could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The property, operations and customers of our subsidiaries Costanera and
El Chocón, and our related company, CEMSA, are located in Argentina.
Accordingly, our Argentine subsidiaries financial condition and results of
operations depend to a significant extent on economic and political conditions
prevailing in Argentina. Since the end of 2001, Argentine companies have continued to encounter
difficulties as a result of the serious economic and political crisis affecting
Argentina. Monetary and currency exchange control measures, including
restrictions on bank deposit withdrawals and tight restrictions on transferring
funds abroad, suspension of payments by Argentina on its external debt and
abrogation of the peso convertibility law (and the consequent depreciation of
the peso against the dollar) had a significant negative impact on the Argentine
economic system, resulting in a reduction of economic activity, increasing
inflation and exchange rate volatility. These conditions adversely affected
the financial condition of our Argentine subsidiaries and their results of
operations. In March 2003, Argentina elected a new president, Mr. Néstor Kirchner. He
took office on May 25, 2003 and decided to retain Mr. Roberto Lavagna as the
Minister of Economy. One of the administrations first tasks has been to
negotiate with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to replace, through a
long-term agreement, the $6.8 billion loan secured by the previous
administration. The failure by the new government to successfully negotiate
such agreement with the IMF could completely block Argentinas access to
international financing, affecting the new governments ability to implement
reforms required to restore stability, economic growth and public confidence.
Furthermore, the Kirchner Administration may adopt social, economic or other
policies that have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. The main risks we continue to face because of our operations in Argentina are the following:  
    
    the Argentine framework for setting electricity and gas tariffs, does not take into account the real costs of the services
that our Argentine subsidiaries provide and therefore, the energy prices in the hourly market do not reflect our
subsidiaries marginal costs to provide such energy, if this continues, our operating margin could be negatively affected;  
    
    the possibility of an eventual rift in the agreement with the IMF, which may lead to increases in the peso-dollar exchange
rate and more expansive restrictions on financial transactions with foreign entities;  
    
    the possibility that we may be unable to obtain financial resources to repay or refinance short-term debt of our Argentine
subsidiaries, or that they will otherwise be unable to comply with the obligations to which they are subject under their
credit agreements and other financial contracts; and  
    
    the possibility that the Central Bank of Argentina will reinstate restrictions on the transfer of funds outside of
Argentina which could prevent our Argentine subsidiaries from distributing dividend and paying principal on certain of
their external debt as it comes due. Given the continuing economic crisis in Argentina and the economic and
political uncertainties, we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, the
value of the peso may further depreciate or appreciate against the dollar.
Moreover, we cannot predict whether the Argentine government will further
modify its monetary policy, and if so, what impact these changes will have on
the financial condition and results of operations of our Argentine operations. The Central Bank of Argentina lifted, but may reinstate, restrictions on the
transfer of funds outside of Argentina which could prevent our Argentine
subsidiaries from distributing dividends and paying principal on certain of
their external debt as it comes due. From December 3, 2001 to May 6, 2003, the Argentine government imposed a
number of monetary and currency exchange control measures that included
restrictions on the free transfer of funds deposited with banks and severe
restrictions on transferring funds abroad, with certain exceptions for
transfers related to foreign trade and 15

other authorized transactions. The restrictions requiring the Argentine
Central Banks prior authorization for the transfer of funds abroad in order to
make payments of principal and/or interest, which were in place during 2002,
were progressively reduced from January to May 2003. Currently, funds may be transferred abroad without previous authorization
of the Argentine Central Bank in order to pay dividends corresponding to prior
periods provided that independent accountants have certified the financial
statements for such period. There can be no assurance, however, that the Argentine Central Bank will
not once again require its prior authorization for the transfer of funds abroad
for principal and/or interest payment by any of our Argentine subsidiaries to
their foreign creditors or for dividend payments by our Argentine subsidiaries
to their shareholders. Should the Central Bank of Argentina impose restrictions again on the
transfer of funds outside of Argentina which prevent our Argentine subsidiaries
from paying principal on certain of their external debt and new financing is
not available to our Argentine subsidiaries or they are not able to
renegotiate, or obtain a waiver with respect to this indebtedness. A
substantial portion of their debt obligations may become due and payable. If
similar restrictions were to be imposed again, we can provide no assurance that
our Argentine subsidiaries will be able to obtain new financing or that they
will be able to renegotiate or obtain waivers with respect to indebtedness
subject to foreign exchange restrictions. In addition, such restrictions may
impede the making of cash distributions by Costanera and El Chocón to us. As at December 31, 2003, the third party financial debt of our Argentine
subsidiaries amounted to approximately US$297.1 million. As a matter of policy
for all of our Argentine subsidiaries, as long as the foreign currency
restrictions remain in Argentina, and as long as fundamental issues concerning
the electricity sector remain unresolved, we are primarily making interest
payments when due, as permitted by the Argentine Central Bank, and we are
rolling over most of our outstanding debt. During 2003, we have rolled over
US$109 million in financial debt, paid US$31 million in principal and extended
the maturity of this debt within 12 to 18 months. Our international creditors
have understood the extraordinary circumstances that have led us to take these
steps and to date have accepted these refinancing arrangements. Our creditors
may not continue to accept, or the Argentine Central Bank may not continue to
permit, rolling over debt principal when it becomes due. Risk Factors Relating to Brazil Lower energy prices in Brazil have resulted in breaches of contracts by the
customers of our subsidiaries and equity affiliates, which may impact the
amount of dividends and distributions we receive from these investments. Hydrological conditions during 2002 and 2003, in Brazil have led to
historically low prices in the Brazilian electricity pool market. As a result,
our most important Brazilian customers have breached their contracts with us in
order to purchase energy in the electricity pool market instead of pursuant to
these contracts. In April 2003, CELG, the sole contracted customer of Endesa-Chiles
Brazilian subsidiary Cachoeira Dourada, was awarded a preliminary and
provisional judgment that permitted CELG to suspend its payments under the
long-term take or pay contract with Cachoeira Dourada. On July 4, 2003, the
court presiding over the dispute ruled in a preliminary and provisional
judgment that CELG would be required to make payments until the final decision
to Cachoeira Dourada at price ranges significantly lower than the R$61.63 per
MWh amount provided for under the existing terms of the take or pay contract.
Cachoeira Dourada appealed this ruling, and obtained a decision establishing
that CELG should make a deposit in court of the difference between the contract
price and the amount actually being paid according to the July 2003 decision.
The terms of this contract provide for payments of approximately R$16.0 million
per month, of which Cachoeira Dourada has received, up to the last day of
December 2003, R$59.9 million, corresponding to less than half of the payments
due for the year. On June 16, 2004, the preliminary and provisional judgment
was revoked, which obliges CELG to pay 100% of the contract to Cachoeira
Dourada including payments due for the entire year 2003. By virtue of this
resolution Cachoeira Dourada, in the event that CELG does not pay what it owes,
may make effective the contractual guarantees or demand the payment of the
same. CELG has petitioned for reconsideration of this decision. A final
unfavorable decision could mean that 16

Cachoeira Dourada would receive significantly lower payments from CELG,
which would affect the dividends paid by Cachoeira Dourada to Endesa-Chile. CELG has also claimed damages of approximately US$250 million from 1997 to
2003 relating to its long-term take or pay contract with Cachoeira Dourada.
However to this date this claim has not been resolved. Cachoeira Dourada has
not made provisions for the accounts receivable from CELG or CELGs damages
claim. If CELG were to prevail in its damages claim, it would have a material
adverse effect on our results of operation. Additionally, in January 2003, Companhia Paranaense de EnergiaCOPEL
(Copel) suspended payments to Companhia de Interconexão Energética(CIEN),
a non-consolidated company in which Endesa-Chile has a 45% interest, under a
take or pay power and energy supply contract signed in 1999. CIEN also sells
energy to three other Brazilian companies. As a justification for its action,
Copel alleged economic and financial imbalance in the 1999 contracts. Copel
also requested a revision of the prices previously agreed. On August 18, 2003,
CIEN and Copel entered into a memorandum of understanding in which they agreed
to modify the terms and conditions of the contract. Among other things, the
modified contract provided for a 50% reduction in the energy volume contracted
(now 400 MW), and a reduction in the term of the contract from 20 to 13 years
ending on December 31, 2015. Brazilian Energy Sector Reform Studies could have a material adverse effect on
our activities and operations in Brazil. Following the Brazilian electricity crisis in 2001, the Electric Sector
Model Revitalization Committee of the former Brazilian Federal Government
announced several measures to revitalize the energy sector in order to insure a
higher level of competition, encourage further investments and increase the
transparency in the rules that regulate these services. Brazilian Sector Reform Studies Law No. 10848, legislation which reformed
the Brazilian electricity sector, was enacted in March 2004. The law will be
implemented by means of decrees and resolutions that will regulate the
Brazilian electricity market and will determine, among other things, how
inherent risks will be distributed among the different market participants
(e.g. hydrological risk, market variation and account receivables) and will
prohibit the participation of the distribution companies in other activities
related to electricity, such as generation. It is not yet possible to predict the impact of Law No. 10848 because the
implementation of regulations has not yet been made, however it may have a
material adverse effect over the companies we own or on our activities and
operations in Brazil. For more information please see Item 4. Information on
the CompanyOperations in BrazilStructure of the New Electricity Sector. Risk Factors Relating to Colombia Colombias electricity power industry has in the past been adversely affected
by guerilla attacks. Guerrilla organizations have long been active in Colombia. Although our
Colombian facilities have never been subject to any attacks, we cannot assure
that such attacks will not occur in the future. In many remote regions of the
country that have traditionally lacked an effective government presence, the
guerillas have exerted influence over the local population. In recent years,
guerilla organizations have employed acts of terrorism to draw attention to
their causes. Despite efforts by the Colombian government to address the
situation, Colombia continues to be affected by social friction and violence
related to guerilla activity. Most of this activity has been directed toward
the oil industry. The peace negotiations between the former Colombian
government and the largest guerrilla organization in the country came to an end
in February 2002, and there has been an escalation of violence since then. The
increased violence could also result in renewed attacks against electricity
assets, which may adversely affect our business. The Colombian government, in
office since 2002, has targeted its intervention on inflation, devaluation,
unemployment, fiscal policy and drug-related violence. We cannot assure you,
however, that these interventionist measures will result in higher economic
growth in Colombia or remove the risks of attack against our electricity
assets. 17

Risk Factors Relating to Peru Peru electricity power industry can be affected by the Camisea project. The Camisea project, a project to build a gas pipeline from the North of
Peru to Lima, may affect the prices of natural gas in that country. If
completed the project will result in lowering the price of gas and our
subsidiary in Peru, Edegel, and its electricity generation plants that rely on
more expensive resources may be negatively affected. Risk Factors Relating to Latin America Latin American economic fluctuations are likely to affect our results of
operations. All of our operations are located in Latin America. Although we
originally operated only in Chile, we have, through strategic acquisitions and
investments, expanded our operations throughout Latin America. We now generate
a significant portion of our consolidated operating revenues and consolidated
operating income outside Chile 50.2% and 54.1%, respectively, in 2003.
Accordingly, our consolidated revenues are sensitive to the performance of the
Latin American economies as a whole. If local, regional or worldwide economic
trends adversely affect the economies of any of the countries in which we have
investments or operations, our financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected. The Latin American financial and securities markets are, to varying
degrees, influenced by economic and market conditions in other emerging market
countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country,
investor reaction to developments in one country can have significant effects
on the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile. Chilean
financial and securities markets may be adversely affected by events elsewhere,
especially in other emerging markets. Moreover, Endesa-Chile has significant
investments in relatively risky countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia
and Peru. Generation and upstreaming of cash from subsidiaries in these
countries have proven volatile. Certain Latin American economies where we operate are characterized by
frequent and occasionally drastic intervention by governmental authorities
which can adversely affect our business. Governmental authorities have often changed monetary, credit, tariff and
other policies to influence the course of the economy of Argentina, Brazil,
Colombia and Peru. Any governments actions to control inflation and effect
other policies have often involved wage, price and tariff rate controls as well
as other interventionist measures, which have included freezing bank accounts
and imposing capital controls. Changes in the policies of these governmental
authorities with respect to tariff rates, exchange controls, regulations and
taxation could adversely affect our business and financial results, as could
inflation, devaluation, social instability and other political, economic or
diplomatic developments, including the response by governments in the region to
such circumstances. If government authorities intervene in any of the countries
in which we operate, our results of operations may be adversely affected. We may not be able to implement our principal strategies in our investments in
Latin America. The future financial condition and results of operations of our Latin
American subsidiaries will depend in significant part upon their ability to
implement some of their principal strategies, namely, operating and financial
cost reductions. The success of the plan to cut costs substantially generally
will depend upon numerous factors, including the cost and availability of
financing and the ability to achieve operating efficiencies. If any of these
strategies are unsuccessful, the profitability of our Latin American
subsidiaries could suffer. We and our subsidiaries are subject to a variety of risks, including economic
downturns and political risk because we operate solely in Latin America. All of our operations and investments are located in Latin America and are
exposed to various risks inherent in operating and investing in Latin America,
including risks related to the following:  
    
    changes in government regulations and administrative policies; 18

 Development of the Company The Chilean government owned Endesa-Chile for 44 years after its
incorporation in 1943. The Chilean government commenced Endesa-Chiles
privatization process in 1987 through a series of public offerings. The
privatization process was completed in 1989. In May 1992, Endesa-Chile began its international expansion program:  
    
    with the acquisition of Costanera in 1992 and later, in
August 1993, with the acquisition of El Chocón, both in Argentina;
    
    in October 1995, Edegel was acquired in Peru;
    
    in December 1996 Betania was acquired and later, in October
1997, in association with Endesa-Spain, Emgesa was acquired, both in
Colombia; and
    
    finally, in September 1997, Cachoeira Dourada was acquired in
Brazil. Enersis, a publicly held holding company engaged in the distribution and,
through Endesa-Chile, the generation and transmission of electricity in Chile,
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, beneficially owns as of the date of this
annual report, directly or indirectly 60% of Endesa-Chiles outstanding capital
stock. In May 1999, Enersis, which at the time owned 25.3% of Endesa-Chile,
purchased an additional 34.7% of Endesa-Chile in the Santiago Stock Exchange
and the American Stock Market. There have been no material changes in the
ownership structure of 19

##### Table of Contents



the company since then. As of the date of this report, Endesa-Spain owns,
directly and indirectly, a 60.6% beneficial interest in Enersis. Endesa-Chiles shares are publicly traded on the Bolsa de Comercio de
Santiago, Bolsa de Valores(the Santiago Stock Exchange), the Bolsa
Electrónica de Chile, Bolsa de Valores(the Electronic Stock Exchange) and
the Bolsa de Corredores, Bolsa de Valores(the Valparaíso Stock Exchange).
Endesa-Chiles American Depositary Shares (ADS) have been listed on the New
York Stock Exchange since July 1994. Shares of Endesa-Chile have also been
listed and traded on the Bolsa de Valores Latinoamericanos de la Bolsa de
Madrid, or Latibex, since December 2001. Investments, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures Our capital expenditures were US$73.7 million in 2001, US$187.7 million in
2002 and US$220.8 million in 2003. Our capital expenditures and investments
during 2003 include investments of US$166.8 million in Chile related to Central
Hidroeléctrica Ralco (the Ralco Project) and capital expenditure maintenance
of US$47.6 million in all our operating subsidiaries. At present, we expect to
make capital expenditures of approximately US$763 million over the next five
years. Although we have considered assumptions on how these investments will
be financed as part of the Companys budget process, we have not committed to
any financial structure and it will depend on the financial market conditions
at the time the cash flows are needed. The Ralco Project will require roughly US$90 million of additional
investment during 2004. We expect the Ralco power plant to begin operations in
the second half of 2004. Please refer to Property, Plant and Equipment for
more information on financing. In addition, we are currently evaluating the
construction of the San Isidro II 370 MW thermal power plant, which will be
next to San Isidro I located in Chile. This project, which was submitted to
the Chilean environmental authority on December 10, 2003 for approval, has a
total expected investment cost of US$220 million. The project is currently
being reevaluated as a consequence of the Argentine gas crisis. The financing
for the Ralco and San Isidro II projects has not been determined. In the long term, we also intend to continue to seek attractive
opportunities in the electricity industry internationally, either in countries
in which we presently conduct operations or elsewhere in Latin America. See
"Business Overview below. The table below sets forth the capital expenditures made by our

 Endesa-Chile is no longer engaged in the electricity transmission business
in Chile. On October 23, 2000, the Company completed the sale of 100 % of the
shares of Compañía Nacional de Transmisión Eléctrica S.A.or Transelec, for
US$1,076 million, at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction. The
divestment of this transmission subsidiary was carried out under a public
tender offer. The winning bid was made by Hydro Québec International Inc., a
Canadian company.

Thereafter, changes in the corporate structure of Endesa-Chile have
responded to the strategic objective of concentrating on the Companys core
business and also to the Financial and Economic Strengthening Plan implemented
by the Company from October 2002 through February 2004, which involved, among
other activities, asset divestitures. The aforementioned changes include:  
    
    On March 27, 2003, Endesa-Chile sold Canutillar, a 172 MW
reservoir-based hydroelectric facility, for US$174 million, at the
exchange rate as of the date of the transaction.
    
    On May 30, 2003, Endesa-Chile sold its transmission lines in the
Northern Interconnected System (SING). This transaction included the
sale of 285 kilometers of 220 kV line circuits for approximately US$32
million, at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction, by
Celta, a subsidiary of Endesa-Chile, and a sale of 673 kilometers of
220 kV line circuits for approximately US$78 million through GasAtacama
Generación Limitada, in which Endesa-Chile holds a 50% ownership
interest. In both cases, the transaction included the transfer of the
respective substations.
    
    On June 23, 2003, Endesa-Chile closed the sale of its 60% ownership
share of Infraestructura 2000 to the Spanish company, OHL Concesiones,
S.L., subsidiary of the Spanish company Obrascón Huarte Lain S.A.,for
a total amount of UF 2,305,507, approximately US$55 million, at the
exchange rate as of the date of the transaction.
    
    In 2003, Endesa-Chile purchased 384,508 shares of Cachoeira Dourada
through its investment subsidiary, Lajas Inversora S.A, for a total of
Ch$24,761 million pesos, increasing its ownership of Cachoeira Dourada
to 92.51% of its outstanding shares of common stock.
    
    On October 3, 2003, Endesa-Chile purchased an additional 16 million
Class A Shares and 1.96 million Class B Shares of Costanera, for a
total of US$4.5 million, at the exchange rate as of the date of the
transaction, thus increasing its ownership of Costanera to 64.3% of its
outstanding shares of common stock. B. Business Overview Endesa-Chile is a public electric generation company with operations in
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Its main business is electricity
generation however, it also participates in electricity transmission and
engineering services. The low proportion of non-generation revenues does not
justify the breakdown of revenues per activity. Endesa-Chiles consolidated installed capacity, as of December 31, 2003,
is 11,599MW, 66% hydroelectric capacity and 34% thermal electric generation
capacity. Endesa-Chile owns and operates nineteen generation facilities in Chile
with an aggregate installed capacity, as of December 31, 2003, of 3,763 MW
(compared to 3,935 MW as of December 31, 2002). Endesa-Chile accounted for
approximately 35% of Chiles total generation capacity as of December 31, 2003.
Hydroelectric installed capacity in Chile represents 72% of Endesa-Chiles
total installed capacity in Chile. The total installed capacity of
Endesa-Chile will increase when the Ralco Project, the new 570 MW hydroelectric
power plant, begins operations. The Ralco Project is expected to begin
operations during the second half of 2004. As of December 31, 2003, Endesa-Chile also had interests in twenty-three
generation facilities outside Chile with an aggregate installed capacity of
7,836 MW(compared to an aggregate installed capacity of 8,018 MW as of December
31, 2002). Hydroelectric installed capacity outside Chile represents 63% of
Endesa-Chiles total installed capacity outside Chile. Based on 2003 figures,
the companys installed generation capacity in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and
Peru represent approximately 16%, 1%, 20% and 22% of total capacity in each
country, respectively. The following table sets out information relating to Endesa-Chiles
electricity generation: 21

 The Companys consolidated electricity production reached 42,928 GWh in
2003, 4.65% higher than the 41,022 GWh produced in 2002. The Companys total
generation in 2001 was 42,724 GWh. It is common in the electricity generation
industry to segment the business into the hydroelectric and thermoelectric
generation. This is done because each method of generation has different
variable costs of generating electricity. For example, thermoelectric
generation requires the purchase of fuel which increases the costs of
generation for the Company. Endesa-Chiles consolidated physical energy sales for 2003 were 50,634
GWh, 4% higher than physical energy sales in GWh 2002. When compared to the
level of physical sales for 2001, figures for 2003 represent a 6.6% reduction,
because of lower physical sales in Argentina, as is illustrated in the

We segment our sales to customers using two different categories. First,
we distinguish between regulated and unregulated customers. Regulated
customers are subject to a set tariff established by the government regulators
in each country. We may enter into contracts with them at the set tariff.
Unregulated customers may negotiate the price of electricity freely with
generators and enter into contracts, or they may buy electricity in the pool
market at the spot price. The second criterion we use to segment our customer
sales is by contracted sales and non-contracted sales. This method is useful
because it provides a uniform way for us to compare our customers from country
to country. The countries in which we operate have varying classifications for
what constitutes a regulated customer; in contrast, contracted sales are
defined uniformly throughout. The following table contains information regarding Endesa-Chiles
consolidated sales of electricity by type of customer for each of the periods
indicated: ENDESA-CHILE CONSOLIDATED PHYSICAL SALES BY TYPE OF CUSTOMER Year ended December 31,2001

 Customer sales may also be segmented into contracted sales and
non-contracted sales. In general, in the countries in which we operate, the
possibility of contracting electricity is related to the volume of electricity
demanded. Customers identified as small volume-regulated customers, such as
residential customers, subject to government regulated electricity tariffs
cannot purchase energy directly from generators, but must purchase electricity
through a distribution company. These distribution companies, which purchase
large amounts of electricity for small, residential customers, generally enter
into contractual agreements with generators at a regulated tariff price.
Customers identified as large volume industrial customers also enter into
contractual agreements with energy suppliers. However, such customers are
non-regulated and are not subject to the regulated tariff price. Instead,
these customers are allowed to negotiate the price of energy with generators
based on the characteristics of service required. Finally, the market pool,
where energy is normally sold at the spot price is not formalized through
contractual agreements. The specific GWh consumption limit of regulated and non-regulated
customers is country-specific. Likewise, regulatory frameworks often require
that regulated distribution companies have contracts to support their
commitments to small customers and often determine which customers can purchase
energy in electricity pool markets. Under normal hydrological conditions, normal fuel conditions and relative
political & economic stability, Endesa-Chiles regulated and non-regulated
customers formalize their relationship by means of a contract. The electricity
pool market sales are not governed by contracts. The following table contains information regarding Endesa-Chiles
consolidated physical sales of electricity per customer segment: 23

 The Companys different accounting information systems allow the
consolidation of sales per country, but do not currently allow the
consolidation of sales per segment of customers according to price or contract
criteria. In terms of expenses, the main variable costs involved in the electricity
generation business, in addition to the direct variable cost of generating
hydroelectric or thermal electricity, such as fuel costs, are energy purchases
and transportation costs. During periods of drought conditions, the Companys
amount of thermal generated electricity increases, which involves increasing
not only the total cost of fuel, but also the cost of transporting that fuel to
the thermal generation power plants leading to greater transportation costs.
Under drought conditions, electricity that Endesa-Chile has contractually
agreed to provide may exceed the amount of electricity that it is able to
generate, requiring the company to purchase thermal electricity on the pool
market in order to satisfy its contractual commitments. The cost of these pool
market purchases may, under certain circumstances, exceed the price at which
Endesa-Chile sells electricity under contracts, resulting in a loss.
Endesa-Chile attempts to minimize the effect of poor hydrological conditions on
its operations in any year primarily by limiting contractual sales requirements
to an amount not in excess of estimated production in a dry year. In
determining estimated production in a dry year, Endesa-Chile takes into account
available statistical information concerning rainfall and water-flows, as well
as the capacity of key reservoirs. In addition to limiting contracted sales,
Endesa-Chile may adopt other strategies such as installing temporary thermal
capacity, negotiating lower consumption levels with its unregulated customers
and negotiating with other water users. The following table contains information regarding Endesa-Chiles
electricity production and purchases. ENDESA-CHILE PHYSICAL GWh PRODUCTION AND PURCHASES Year ended December 31,2001

    Total GWh production plus purchases differs from GWh sales due to own
consumption and technical losses. Our significant, non-operating business in Chile, which is based on the
operations of unconsolidated related companies, is primarily conducted through
GasAtacama S.A., or GasAtacama. Endesa-Chile has a 50% ownership interest in
GasAtacama through which it participates in the gas transportation and thermal
generation business in Chile. Endesa-Chile also participates in the gas
transportation business in Chile through its associated company, Electrogas
S.A., in which Endesa-Chile has a 42.5% ownership interest. Electrogas has a
pipeline to the fifth Chilean region and it supplies natural gas to the power
plants San Isidro and Nehuenco. An additional relevant non-operational
business is that performed through another of its associated companies,
Companhia de Interconexão Energética S.A,or CIEN, in Brazil, in which
Endesa-Chile has a 45% ownership share. CIEN is involved in electricity
trading in Brazil and also the operation of the transmission interconnection
lines between Argentina and Brazil. Endesa-Chile also has minority interests
in electricity trading and transmission in Argentina through its 45% ownership
of Comercializadora de Energía del Mercosur S.A.,or CEMSA and Compañía de
Transmisión del Mercosur S.A., or CTM. See Organizational Structure for
details on associate companies. 24

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. Endesa-Chile, through itself and its subsidiaries Empresa Eléctrica
Pehuenche S.A., or Pehuenche, Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A., or Pangue and
Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A., or San Isidro, and Compañía Eléctrica
Tarapacá S.A., or Celta, operates a total of nineteen generation plants in
Chile. Twelve of these plants are hydroelectric plants with a total installed
capacity of 2,727 MW. This represents 72% of Endesa-Chiles total installed
capacity in Chile. The remaining seven plants are gas-, coal- or oil-fired
thermal plants with a total installed capacity of 1,036 MW. Endesa-Chiles
power plants are connected to the countrys major interconnected electricity
systems, Sistema Interconectado Central, or the SIC, and Sistema Interconectado
del Norte Grande, or the SING, which together supply energy to over 98% of
Chiles population. Historically, the Company has been involved in other businesses in Chile,
such as infrastructure projects, involving the building and operating of
private tunnels, as well as engineering services primarily associated with
large hydroelectric dam construction. Endesa-Chile has decided to discontinue
further involvement in its non-core businesses leading to the sale of its
infrastructure projects. However, it continues to offer engineering services.
See History and Development of the Company for more details on these sales. The following table sets forth the installed generation capacity for each

    The Canutillar hydroelectric plant (172 MW) was sold on April 30, 2003. The Companys total electricity generation in Chile reached 16,524 GWh in
2003, 1.5 % higher than in 2002, and accounted for approximately 37% of total
electricity production in Chile. The companys Chilean generation market share
in Chile for 2002 and 2001 were 38% and 39%, respectively. We expect that
production market share for 2004 will be greater than that of 2003 due to the
entering into service of the Ralco power plant, a low cost hydroelectric
facility that represents a significant addition to the countrys total
installed capacity (5% of Chiles total generation capacity as of year-end
2003). The following table sets forth the electricity generation for each of the

 Endesa-Chiles thermal electric generation facilities are either gas-,
coal- or oil-fired. Endesa-Chile meets its natural gas requirements with
long-term gas contracts that establish maximum amounts and price of supply and
long-term gas transportation agreements with the pipeline companies, Gas Andes
and Electrogas, the latter, a company in which Endesa-Chile has a 42.5%
interest. Endesa-Chile meets its coal and fuel oil requirements on a
competitive bid basis from major domestic and international suppliers. Physical energy sales in Chile reached 18,673 GWh in 2001, 18,344 GWh in
2002, and 18,681 in 2003, which represent a 49%, 46% and 44% market share,
respectively. Although Endesa-Chiles physical generation in Chile has
increased since 2001, the percentage of our energy purchases to meet
contractual obligations to third parties has
declined from 17% in 2001 to 13% in both 2002 and 2003, as a consequence
of our commercial strategy of reducing contracted sales. This commercial
strategy is strongly driven by the Companys decision to reduce hydrological
exposure as well as by government regulations implemented in year 2000 and
2001. See Business OverviewElectricity Generation in ChileIndustry
Structure and Regulatory Framework. Endesa-Chile attempts to 26

minimize the
effect of poor hydrological conditions on its operations, in any year,
primarily by limiting contractual commitments to an amount below the estimated
production in a dry year. Government regulations have had the direct effect of
increasing contract failure costs which is the cost that the Company pays when
it is not able to satisfy its contractual commitments, and the indirect effect
of discouraging investment in generation assets. Given the effects of the
government regulations, energy supply has not increased at the same rate as
energy demand, increasing the spot price in the electricity pool market and
making it a relatively more attractive commercial alternative. The following table sets forth our electricity purchases and production in

    Total GWh production plus purchases differs from GWh sales due to own
consumption and technical losses. We and our Chilean generation subsidiaries supply electricity to the major
regulated electricity distribution companies, large un-regulated industrial
firms primarily in the mining, pulp and steel sectors and to the market pool.
Commercial relationships with customers are normally governed by a formal
contract between parties. Supply contracts entered into with distribution
companies are generally standardized and have long terms ranging, on average,
ten years. These contracts are extended automatically at the end of the
applicable term unless terminated by either party upon prior notice. Contracts
with large industrial customers are specific to the needs of each client and
may also include provisions that exclude Endesa-Chile from providing
electricity in cases of force majeure, as defined by the Company which may
include extreme drought conditions, and for binding arbitration in the event of
disputes. In 2001, 2002 and 2003, Endesa-Chile had 69, 67 and 60 customers in
Chile, respectively, including the main distribution companies of the SIC and
the major unregulated industrial customers. During the last three years, sales
to unregulated customers represented approximately one-third of Endesa-Chiles
total energy sales. The following table sets forth information regarding Endesa-Chiles sales
of electricity in Chile by type of customer. ENDESA-CHILE PHYSICAL SALES PER CUSTOMER PRICE SEGMENT

 Endesa-Chiles most significant supply contracts with regulated customers
are with Chilectra and Compañía General de Electricidad S.A.(CGE), the two
largest distribution companies in Chile. Endesa-Chile has a supply contract
with Chilectra, which expires in 2010, and is subject to automatic one-year
renewal periods, unless 27

terminated upon not less than six months prior notice.
The contract with CGE expires in 2009, subject to automatic four-year renewal
periods, unless terminated upon not less than one years prior notice. Customarily, Endesa-Chiles contracts with unregulated customers for the
sale of electricity in Chile are long-term, generally ranging from ten to
twenty years. Such contracts are normally extended automatically at the end of
the applicable term unless terminated by either party upon prior notice. Such
contracts generally provide that the purchase price be reset periodically,
typically following the semi-annual determination of node prices set by the
Comisión Nacional de Energía(National Energy Commission), or CNE. Contracts
with unregulated customers may also include specifications as to back-up power
sources and equipment, which may be provided at special rates, as well as the
provision of technical assistance to the customer. Endesa-Chile has not
experienced any supply interruptions under its contracts, however, Endesa-Chile
did negotiate short-term arrangements with certain customers to reduce its
supply due to the effects of the drought during 1999. In cases of force
majeure, customers are also allowed to refuse purchases and Endesa-Chile is not
required to supply electricity. Contracts with unregulated customers generally
do not impose any limitations on the ability of Endesa-Chile to resell output
not purchased under those contracts. Disputes are typically subject to binding
arbitration between the parties, subject to limited exceptions. The following table sets forth Endesa-Chiles sales by volume to its five
largest distribution and unregulated customers in Chile for each of the periods

    Endesa-Chile does not have a contract with Sociedad Austral de
Electricidad S.A. Sales respond to a government resolution (RM88) that
forces the generators of the CDEC-SIC system to supply distribution
companies without contracts. Endesa-Chile competes in the SIC primarily with two other electricity
generation companies, AES Gener S.A.(AESGener) and Empresa Eléctrica Colbún
Machicura S.A.(Colbún). According to each companys 2003 annual report as
of December 31, 2003, AESGener had an installed capacity of 2,428 MW (including
277 MW of Norgener in the SING and 643 MW of TermoAndes located in Salta,
Argentina) of which 89% was thermal electric, and Colbún had an installed
capacity of 1,521 MW, of which 48% was thermal electric. Colbún increased its
capacity during 2003 with the start up of Nehuenco II, 255 MW thermal
plant. According to the assumptions included in the electricity pricing model
applied by the CNE in determining the tariffs to regulated customers, it is 28

##### Table of Contents



estimated that Colbún may add additional MWs of combined cycle thermal capacity
during 2004. In addition to these two large competitors, there are a number of
smaller entities that generate electricity in the SIC. The other principal generation companies operating in the SING are
Electroandina(formerly Corporación Nacional del Cobre División Tocopilla) and
Empresa Eléctrica del Norte Grande S.A.(Edelnor), and Norgener S.A., which
have 1,029 MW, 687 MW and 277 MW of installed capacity, respectively and
significantly larger operations than Endesa-Chiles direct operations in the
SING, 182 MW, through Tarapaca, Celtas thermal power plant. However, by
including Endesa-Chiles indirect participation in the SING through its related
company GasAtacama, whose power plant has 780 MW of installed capacity,
Endesa-Chiles market position increases significantly to 26%. See
"Organizational Structure for details on affiliated companies. Electricity generation companies compete largely on the basis of technical
experience and reliability and, in the case of unregulated customers, on price.
In addition, as 72% of Endesa-Chiles installed capacity derives from
hydroelectric power plants, Endesa-Chile generally has lower production costs
than companies generating electricity in the SIC from thermal plants. During
periods of extended droughts, however, Endesa-Chile is often forced to buy more
expensive electricity from thermoelectric generators at spot prices in order to
satisfy its contractual obligations. The main sources of Endesa-Chiles non-operating income come from its 50%
ownership interest in GasAtacama, which through its subsidiaries has the
ability to transport up to 8.5 million cubic meters of gas daily and that has a
gas-fired combined cycle plant with a total installed capacity of approximately
780 MW in Mejillones, and its 42.5% ownership interest in Electrogas, which
produces transportation income derived from the pipeline supplying San Isidro
and Nehuenco combined-cycle plants at Quillota. See Organizational Structure
for details on related companies. Electricity Generation in
Chile  Industry Structure and Regulatory Framework The electricity industry in Chile is divided into three sectors:
generation, transmission and distribution. The generation sector consists of
companies that generate electricity from hydroelectric and thermal production
sources. Generators sell their production to distribution companies,
generation companies, and other large customers that are permitted to purchase
directly from generators because of the large amounts of electricity they
purchase. The transmission sector consists of companies that transmit at high
voltage the electricity produced by generation companies. The third sector
consists of distribution companies that purchase electricity from generation
companies to sell to their regulated or unregulated customers. The electricity sector in Chile is regulated pursuant to Law DFL No. 1
which was enacted in 1982, and the regulations under Decree No. 327 of 1998, as
amended, collectively known as the Chilean Electricity Act. Under the Chilean
Electricity Act, the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
are supervised by the SEF and the Ministry of Economy acting through the CNE.
The Ministry of Economy grants concessions to generation companies for
hydroelectric facilities, and to transmission and distribution companies for
networks. The CNE, through the application of certain tariff formulas set
forth in the Chilean Electricity Act, calculates maximum prices for electricity
sales to regulated end-users. Chiles electricity industry is organized into four separate
interconnected electricity systems which facilitate the coordination of
generation, transmission and distribution activities within a given geographic
area: Sistema Interconectado Central(the SIC), Sistema Interconectado del
Norte Grande(the SING), and two minor isolated systems that provide
electricity in remote areas, Aysénand Magallanes. The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major
interconnected electricity systems in Chile, the SIC and the SING, is
coordinated by autonomous generating industry groups, known as the Centro de
Despacho Económico de Carga(CDEC). The SIC and the SING are intended to be
efficient markets for the sale of electricity in which the lowest marginal cost
producer is used to satisfy demand. As a result, at any specific level of
demand, the appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest possible cost of
production available in the system. In addition, certain major industrial
companies own and operate generation systems to meet their own demand. 29

The Chilean regulatory system requires that electricity generated by the
producers with lower marginal costs be dispatched before that of producers with
higher marginal costs, in every electric subsystem in the country. Therefore,
in the SIC, electricity generated in Endesa-Chiles hydroelectric plants, which
generally have lower marginal costs, is generally dispatched before the
electricity generated in facilities that are dependent on thermal electric
generation. However, during unfavorable hydrological conditions when the
marginal cost of electricity is higher due to the increased use of thermal
electric facilities, electricity generated in these thermal facilities may be
dispatched before electricity generated by hydroelectric facilities because the
price/value of the water in reservoirs is relatively higher due to drought
weather conditions. There are no hydroelectric generating facilities in the
SING, but central dispatch of generation follows the same least marginal cost
rule. As of December 31, 2003, Endesa-Chile had a total of nineteen generation
facilities in Chile. Eighteen of the generation facilities owned and operated
by Endesa-Chile in Chile were connected to the SIC, with the remaining
generation facility located in the SING. This generation facility provides
electricity to the northern mining region of Chile. The SIC, the largest of the systems, extends 2,400 km from Tal Tal in the
north to Quellón on the southern island of Chiloé. Installed capacity in
December 2003 was 6,997 MW, 58% of which is hydroelectric and 42% thermal.
Peak demand on the SIC in 2003 was 4,517 MW and annual physical sales were
30,092 GWh. Electricity sales to the SIC grew by 5.8 % from 2002 to 2003. The
SIC covers the area where over 70% of the Chilean demand for electricity is
located. Endesa-Chile, directly and through its subsidiaries Pehuenche, Pangue and
San Isidro, is the principal operator on the SIC, has 18 generation facilities
connected to the SIC, 12 hydro plants and 6 thermal plants, representing 52% of
the total installed capacity and 55% of the physical energy sales of this
system in 2003. The SING covers the northern territory of the country from Arica to
Coloso, a distance of approximately 700 km. The SING had an installed capacity
as of December 2003 of 1,382 MWh, 99% of which is thermal. Peak demand in the
SING in 2003 was 3,634 MW and annual physical sales were 10,480 GWh.
Consumption grew by 10.5 % during 2003 compared to the year 2002. Endesa-Chile, through its subsidiary Celta has one 182 MW thermal power
plant connected to the SING, which represents 5% of the total capacity of the
SING. Through its associate company GasAtacama Generación Limitada,
Endesa-Chile has an additional participation in the SING, with a total 26.5% of
the SINGs total installed capacity in 2003. The following table sets out

simplified regulatory scheme and tariff-setting process which limits the
discretionary role of the government through the establishment of objective
criteria for setting prices. The expected result is an economically efficient
allocation of resources to and within the electricity sector. The regulatory
system is designed to provide a competitive rate of return on investments in
order to encourage private investment, while ensuring the availability of
electricity to all who request it. Endesa-Chile is subject to regulation of
its prices and other aspects of its business in Chile under the Chilean
Electricity Act. Three government entities have primary responsibility for the
implementation and enforcement of the Chilean Electricity Act. The CNE
calculates retail tariffs and wholesale, or node prices, which require the
final approval of the Ministry of Economy, and prepares the indicative plan, a
10-year guide for the expansion strategy of the electricity system that must be
consistent with the calculated prices. The SEF sets and enforces the technical
standards of the system. In addition, the Ministry of Economy grants final
approval of tariffs and node prices set by the CNE and regulates the granting
of concessions to electricity generation, transmission and distribution
companies. Pursuant to the Chilean Electricity Act, companies engaged in the
generation of electricity in Chile must coordinate their operations through the
CDECs to minimize the operating costs of the electricity network and monitor
the quality of service granted by the generation and transmission companies.
Generation companies meet their contractual sales requirements by dispatching
electricity, whether produced by them or purchased from other generators in the
pool market. The principal purpose of a CDEC in operating the dispatch system
is to ensure that only the most efficiently produced electricity is dispatched
to customers. However, the CDEC also seeks to ensure that every generation
company has enough installed capacity and can produce enough electricity to
meet the demand of its customers. Because Endesa-Chiles production in the SIC
is primarily hydroelectric and, therefore its marginal cost of production is
generally the lowest in that interconnected system, Endesa-Chiles electricity
production in the SIC is generally dispatched under normal hydrological
conditions. Generation companies balance their contractual obligations with
their dispatch by buying or selling electricity at the spot price which is set
hourly by the CDEC, based on the marginal cost of production of the next kWh to
be dispatched. This is known as the spot marginal cost. 31

Sales by Generation Companies. Sales may be made pursuant to short- or
long-term contracts or, in the case of sales to other generation companies, on
a spot basis. Generation companies may also engage in contracted sales among
each other at negotiated prices. Generation companies are free to determine
whether and with whom to contract, the duration of contracts and the amount of
electricity to be sold. Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers. Under
the Chilean Electricity Act and its regulations, sales to distribution
companies for resale to regulated customers must be made at the node prices
then in effect at the relevant locations (nodes) on the interconnected system
through which such electricity is supplied. Regulated customers are those with
maximum consumption capacity equal to or less than 0.5 MW (reduced from 2 MW to
500 kW as of March 2004 with the approval of the Short Law, see below). Two
node prices are paid by distribution companies: node prices for capacity and
node prices for energy consumption. Node prices for capacity are determined by
the marginal cost of increasing the existing capacity of the electricity system
with the least expensive generating facility. Node prices for energy
consumption are calculated based on the projected short-term marginal cost of
satisfying the demand for energy at a given point in the interconnected system,
quarterly during the succeeding 48 months in the SIC and monthly during the
succeeding 24 months in the SING. In order to determine the marginal cost in
the SIC, a model is used that takes into account the principal variables in the
cost of energy at each substation in the interconnected system over the
48-month period. This model includes the following factors: projected growth
in demand; reservoir levels (which are important in determining the
availability and price of hydroelectricity); fuel costs for thermal electric
generation facilities; planned maintenance schedules and other factors that
would affect the availability of existing generation capacity; and scheduled
additions to generation capacity during the 10-year Indicative Electricity
Development Plan. The same general principles are used to determine marginal
cost in the SING. Node prices for capacity and energy consumption are established every six
months, in April and October, by a decree issued by the Ministry of Economy.
Although node prices are quoted in Chilean pesos, the variables used to
determine node prices are mainly computed in U.S. dollars. These node prices
then become effective in May and November. Node prices are adjusted during a
six-month period only if changes in the underlying variables in the model used
to project a node price then in effect would result in a variation in excess of
10%, with respect to the initially calculated price. In addition, the Chilean
Electricity Act requires that the difference between node prices and the
average price paid by unregulated customers in the six-month period prior to
the date of node price calculation not exceed 5% (reduced from 10% to 5% as of
March 2004). If node prices do not meet this requirement, they will be
adjusted so that the difference does not exceed 5%. Distribution companies are
required to pay generation companies for each months electricity purchases on
the 21st day of the following month, at the applicable node prices in effect at
the time. The Chilean Electricity Act provides that if a generation company sells
directly to a regulated customer, outside the concession area of a distribution
company, then the generation company must apply the same price as the
distribution company would be required to apply. Sales to Other Generation Companies. To accomplish its objective of
operating the dispatch system to ensure that only the most efficiently produced
electricity reaches customers, each CDEC annually determines Firm Energy and
Firm Capacity for each member generation company. Firm Energy is the estimated aggregate amount of energy (GWhs) that can be
reliably delivered to an interconnected system during a given year by all
generating units in that system, assuming that (1) the year is one of low
rainfall and (2) there will be an average availability of thermal units during
that year. For purposes of determining estimated hydroelectric production during
periods of low rainfall, annual aggregate energy production of the system
during the last 40 years is ranked by year from the greatest to lowest, subject
to certain adjustments to reflect assumptions as to how the prevailing water
levels at Lake Laja (the principal reservoir in Chile) and recently constructed
hydroelectric plants would have affected production in each of those years.
The amount of aggregate system energy produced in the year ranked closest to
the tenth percentile from the bottom of the resulting ranking is used to
determine the aggregate system production in a dry year. To determine the
average availability of thermal electric units, the CDEC estimates the
aggregate energy that can be delivered by existing thermal electric plants,
taking into consideration maintenance and failure periods, based on national
and international statistics and the average capacity availability during the
least 10 years of operations. The resulting 32

##### Table of Contents



estimate of system-wide production of energy for the year is called Firm
Energy. Generation companies whose proportionate share of Firm Energy is less
than their contractual sales obligations must purchase, in advance and at
negotiated prices, sufficient energy production to satisfy their contractual
obligations from generation companies with a proportionate share of Firm Energy
in excess of their contractual obligations. Individual generation companies
analyze Firm Energy statistics to determine their pro rata share of Firm
Energy, as a tool in determining how best to match their contractual sales
obligations with projected energy production in order to achieve optimal
operating profits from energy sales. This definition of Firm Energy is no
longer relevant. After December 2001, generation companies are no longer
capped at Firm Energy for their contracts. Subsequently, the regulations
under the Chilean Electricity Act, as amended, replace this concept. Firm Capacity is the total probable capacity of all generating units in an
interconnected system at any point in time, calculated using historical data,
statistical analyses and certain assumptions regarding hydrology. Each CDEC
compares Firm Capacity to the maximum anticipated peak demand for capacity at
peak hours on the system. The amount by which the system-wide probable
capacity exceeds the maximum anticipated demand at peak hours is prorated for
each generating unit in the system based on the installed capacity of the unit.
Installed capacity of each unit is reduced by the resulting pro rata amount to
determine Allocated Firm Capacity. If the Allocated Firm Capacity of any
generation company exceeds its peak hour contracted commitments to customers,
such company will be paid for its excess Allocated Firm Capacity by generation
companies with peak hour commitments to customers in excess of their Allocated
Firm Capacity, based on the prevailing node price for capacity. A generation company may be required to purchase or sell energy or
capacity in the electricity pool market at any time depending upon its
contractual requirements in relation to the amount of electricity from such
company to be dispatched. Purchases and sales made in the electricity pool
market are transacted at the spot marginal cost of the interconnected system in
which the companies are located, which is the marginal cost of the next kWh to
be dispatched. Generation companies making sales in the electricity pool
market are paid for each months sales on the twenty-second day of the
following month at the spot marginal cost in effect at the time of sale. Sales to Unregulated Customers. The electricity law distinguishes between
regulated and unregulated prices for electricity supply. Electricity supply
prices are unregulated for:  (1)
    
    final customers with a connected capacity equal to or
greater than 500 kW (recently reduced from 2 MW with approval of
Short Law, see below), commonly known as large customers;(2)
    
    temporary customers; and(3)
    
    customers with special quality requirements. Customers not subject to regulated prices, commonly known as unregulated
customers, may negotiate prices freely with distribution and/or generation
companies. All other customers are subject to the maximum prices established
by the tariffs. Transmission. To the extent that a companys transmission assets were
built pursuant to concessions granted by the Chilean government, the Chilean
Electricity Act requires such company to operate the covered transmission
system on an open access basis in which users may obtain access to the system
by contributing towards the cost of operating, maintaining and, if necessary,
expanding the system. Transmission companies recover their investment in
transmission assets through tolls, or wheeling rates, which are charged to
generation companies, and with the recent approval of the Short Law (see below)
also partially financed by the final customer. The toll is calculated
according to a formula pursuant to which the owner of the transmission lines is
reimbursed for its investment and operating costs relating to the transmission
lines used. Disputes relating to transmission matters are submitted to
arbitration in accordance with the Chilean Electricity Act. Distribution Tariff to Final Customers. The tariff charged by
distribution companies to their final customers is determined by the sum of the
purchase cost incurred by the distribution company (the node prices for
capacity and energy consumption at the point of purchase from the generation
company), a sub-transmission surcharge, a factor for distribution losses of
capacity and energy and the value added by the distribution network (the
VAD). The price for both generation and distribution capacity sold to
customers includes an overlap factor to reflect the 33

##### Table of Contents



overlap between peak capacity demand for the customer and for the system
as a whole. The sub-transmission surcharge reflects the cost of transmitting
and transforming electricity from a node on the interconnected system to a
substation at the distribution level. The VAD includes an allowed return on
investment. Concessions. The Chilean Electricity Act permits, in certain cases, the
generation and transmission of electricity without the need to obtain a
concession from the Chilean government. However, companies may apply for a
concession from the Chilean government, particularly to facilitate the use of
and access to third-party properties. Third-party property owners are entitled
to compensation, which may be agreed upon by the parties or, absent agreement,
determined by an administrative proceeding that may be appealed to Chilean
courts. Recent Regulatory Developments. The Chilean Congress amended the Chilean
Electricity Act, effective as of June 8, 2000, placing severe penalties on
deficit generators in the event of prolonged periods of electricity shortages.
Electricity rationing may be enforced by the enactment of a rationing decree
which is subject to the prior approval by the CNE and the Ministry of Economy.
This prior approval is contingent upon the severity of the prevailing
conditions causing the electricity shortage. The Chilean Electricity Act, as amended, no longer exempts deficit
generators from fines if power shortages are due to severe drought and states
that such weather conditions will no longer be considered an event of force
majeure. In addition, the Chilean Electricity Act, as amended, requires that
generators compensate consumers during periods of rationing as compared to the
law prior to amendment, which only compensated surplus generators but did not
penalize deficit generators during power shortages. Companies penalized under
the legislation will have the right to appeal but only after they have made a
prepayment equal to 25% of the fine. Under the Chilean Electricity Act, as currently in effect, Endesa-Chile
may be required to pay fines to the regulatory authorities, make compensatory
payments to electricity consumers affected by the shortage of electricity and
make payments to generators from whom we are forced to purchase electricity in
order to meet contractual commitments. These three types of penalties or
payments are described below.  
    
    Fines. The fines, which could apply to any electricity company
supervised by the CNE and the SEF, including generation, transmission
and distribution companies, range from the equivalent of approximately
US$42 to a maximum of the equivalent of approximately US$5 million.
Companies penalized under the legislation will have the right to appeal
but only after they have made a prepayment equal to 25% of the fine.
    
    Compensatory Payments By Generation Companies. If the Ministry of
Economy issues a rationing decree, generation companies may be required
to reimburse distribution companies on a pro rata basis for credits
given to final customers in an amount equal to the product of:  (1)
    
    the difference between the rationed end-consumer
price specified in the rationing decree and the applicable
node price; and(2)
    
    the difference between the consumers actual
energy consumption during the rationing period and during
the same period in the prior year, with certain
adjustments.  
    
    Failure Cost. Chiles Electricity Law calls for a failure cost
to be imposed on generators that cannot meet their contractual
commitments to deliver electricity during periods when a rationing
decree is in effect. The failure cost is implemented as an additional
amount that must be paid by deficit generators to the surplus
generators from whom deficit generators purchase electricity. On March 21, 2001, the Chilean Antitrust Commission issued Resolution No.
525, which established a list of 25 services related to the supply of
electricity, such as the lease of meters, that should be regulated. The CNE
regulated such services during the month of May of 2004, but this regulation
impacts electricity distribution companies to a greater extent than generation
companies. On May 30, 2001, the Ministry of Economy issued Resolution No. 88, which
stated that generation companies are required to supply electricity to SAESA, a
distribution company which was not able to renew its electricity 34

##### Table of Contents



supply contracts. In the referred resolution it was also stated that such
supply (with no contract and for regulated clients) shall be provided at the
node price and on a prorated basis, considering the firm capacity of each
generator. The regulatory authority has announced that the Chilean electricity
regulatory framework would be amended in two steps. The first step would refer
to those matters which are needed with more urgency, the Short Law. The
second step would refer to the remaining amendments that are needed, the Long
Law. The Short Law The
Short Law was approved by Chilean Congress on
January 2004 and
became effective as of March 2004. The principle changes implemented by the
Short Law include:  
    
    a new methodology concerning compensation to, and expansion of,
transmission systems, reducing generators transmission costs by
transferring part of the cost to final customers,
    
    reducing the regulated node price band with respect to the free
customer contract price from 10% to 5%,
    
    reducing the definition of unregulated customer from 2000 kw to 500
kw of energy consumption (effective in 2006). In our opinion, the approval of this law has established a better scenario
for companies to analyze new investments. Nevertheless the convenience of
developing new projects depends not only on regulations, but also on the
stability and attractiveness of the industry price levels. As of the date of this report, the final proposal of the Long Law is still
in the evaluation stage by government authorities. Environmental Regulation The Chilean Constitution of 1980 grants to all citizens the right to live
in an environment free of pollution. It further provides that other
constitutional rights may be limited in order to protect the environment.
Although Chilean environmental regulation is not as well developed as in the
United States and certain other countries, Chile has numerous laws,
regulations, decrees and municipal ordinances that may impose environmental
restrictions. Among them is Ley Sobre Neutralización de los Residuos
Provenientes de Establecimientos Industriales No. 3,133, which dates back to
1916 (Law No. 3,133), and regulates the discharge of liquid industrial wastes
and the Sanitary Code which contains provisions relating to waste disposal, the
establishment of industries in areas in which they may affect public health and
the protection of water for human consumption. Regulations under Law No. 3,133
were published on February 23, 1993. The regulations provide that no
industrial entity may dispose of substances that may pose a risk to irrigation
or consumption in any sewer or natural or artificial body of water without
prior authorization from the Ministry of Public Works and a favorable
determination from the Superintendency of Sanitary Services. The regulations
also mandate governmental approval of any systems that an industrial entity
proposes to use for the purpose of neutralizing or purifying liquid industrial
residues. Endesa-Chiles operations in Chile are subject to Ley No. 19,300(the
Chilean Environmental Act) which was enacted in 1994. The Chilean
Environmental Law requires Endesa-Chile to conduct environmental impact studies
of any future projects or activities that may affect the environment and to
arrange for the review of such studies by the Chilean Environmental Commission
(CONAMA). It also requires either an evaluation of the environmental impact
by the Chilean government or the posting of an environmental insurance policy
ensuring compliance with standards for emissions, noise, waste and disposal and
authorizes the relevant ministries to establish emission standards. The
Chilean Environmental Law is implemented by Reglamento No. 30 del Ministerio
Secretaria General de la Presidencia(Regulation No. 30) dated March 20,
1997. Endesa-Chile applies the guidelines set out in Regulation No. 30 in
analyzing the development of future projects. Water Rights Endesa-Chile owns water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority for
the exploitation of the water from rivers and lakes near Endesa-Chiles
production facilities for electricity generation. Under current law, these
water 35

rights are absolute property rights of unlimited duration. The Chilean
Congress is currently considering a proposal to revise the laws governing water
rights. Under the proposal Endesa-Chile would pay a fee for every year it
fails to make use of a water source it owns the rights to utilize. Operations in Argentina Operating income from the companys business in Argentina represented 13%,
4%, 10% for years 2001, 2002 and 2003 of Endesa-Chiles total operating income.

 For details on the variations of yearly monetary figures, please see Item
5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. Endesa-Chile participates in electricity generation in Argentina through
its subsidiaries Costanera and El Chocón, with a total of 5 power plants, two
of which are hydroelectric plants, with total installed capacity of 1,320 MW,
and three of which are thermal plants, with a total installed capacity of 2,302
MW. In 2003, Endesa-Chiles hydro and thermal generation plants in Argentina
represented 16% of the countrys total electricity generation capacity. Endesa-Chile also participates in transmission and trading of electricity
in Argentina through its related companies, Compañía de Transmisión del
Mercosur S.A.(CTM), which owns the Argentine side of a transmission
interconnection line with Brazil, and CEMSA, a trading company that has signed
contracts with generators in Argentina to export electricity from Argentina to
Brazil and Uruguay. Endesa-Chile has a 45% ownership share in both CTM and
CEMSA through its affiliates, CIEN and Endesa Argentina S.A., respectively.
See   Organizational Structure for details on associated companies. Costaneras installed capacity is thermal and accounted for approximately
10% of the total installed capacity in the Sistema Interconectado Nacional(the
Argentine SIN), Argentinas only major interconnected grid system, as of
December 31, 2003. Costaneras Combined Cycle II plant is the largest combined
cycle in Argentina that can operate with natural gas and diesel. The Companys
1,131 MW Steam Turbine power plant can operate with either natural gas or fuel
oil. The Company maintains long-term contractual agreements with natural gas
suppliers. The supply of liquid fuel is contracted annually according to
estimated yearly requirements. El Chocón is currently the second largest private hydroelectric facility
in Argentina, accounting for approximately 6% of the installed capacity in the
Argentine SIN as of December 31, 2003. El Chocón has a 30-year concession for
two hydroelectric generation facilities with an aggregate of 1,320 MW of
installed capacity. The larger of the two facilities for which El Chocón has a
concession has 1,200 MW of installed capacity and is the primary flood control
installation on the Limay River. The facilitys large reservoir, Ezequiel
Ramos Mejía, enables El Chocón to be one of the Argentine SINs major peak
suppliers. Variations in El Chocóns discharge are moderated by El Chocóns
Arroyito facility, a downstream dam with 120 MW of installed capacity. The following table sets forth the installed capacity of Endesa-Chiles
Argentine subsidiaries: 36

 Endesa-Chiles total electricity generation in Argentina reached 8,128 GWh
in 2003, 11.5 % higher than the 7,291 GWh in 2002, but lower that the 10,182
GWh registered in 2001. Endesa-Chiles generation market share was
approximately 10% of total electricity production in Argentina for 2003,
approximately 10% for 2002 and 13% for 2001. The following table sets forth the electricity generation of

 Low cost hydroelectric generation accounted for nearly 50% of total
generation in 2003, slightly less than in 2002 because of both a strong
increase in electricity demand and a relatively dry year when compared to 2002.
The percentage of hydroelectric generation in year 2001 reached 44%, as shown

 Endesa-Chiles physical energy sales in Argentina reached 12,988 GWh in
2001, 7,897 GWh in 2002, and 9,259 in 2003. The increase in sales of year 2003
compared to 2002 responds to increased electricity demand in Argentina. The portion of physical sales supplied by the Companys own generation of
energy reached 86% of total sales in 2003 while sales supplied by energy
purchased from other generators represented 14% of total sales in 2003, as set
forth in the following table. 37

    Energy production plus energy purchases exceed electricity sales due to
energy losses and own consumption. The companys physical sales market share decreased from 14% in 2001 to
10% in 2002 but it increased to 12% in year 2003. Physical sales in years 2002
and 2003 have been strongly affected by the economic crisis in Argentina and
the legislation that the government has approved to confront this crisis since
January 2002. See Item 3. Key Information  Risk Factors Relating to
Argentina. The law required the conversion of dollar denominated obligations
into Argentine pesos at a rate of AR$1 per US$1 and it suspended indexation
mechanisms of public service tariffs. Consequently, Endesa-Chile made
significant commercial strategy adjustments to reduce the impact of the crisis
on the Companys returns, such as reducing contracted sales and selling to the
electricity pool market. Physical contracted sales declined from 30% of total
sales in 2001 to 24% of total physical sales in 2002. The percentage of
contracted sales in 2003 declined even more reaching 12% of Endesa-Chiles
total sales in Argentina as a consequence of the sustained level of political,
economical and regulatory uncertainties. The Argentine Governments
intervention in the energy sector since 2002 has led to the natural gas crisis
that they are currently experiencing. For more information on the Argentine
gas crisis, please refer to   Electricity Generation in Argentina 
Industry Structure and Regulatory Framework  Government Resolutions adopted
during 2004. Costaneras physical sales reached 4,583 GWh in 2003, compared to 4,178 in
2002 and 8,395 in 2001. Contracted sales in 2003 represented 14% of total
physical sales and pool market sales accounted for the remaining 86%. At the
time Costanera was privatized in 1992, it entered into an eight-year sales
contract with Empresa Distribuidora del Sur(Edesur), and Empresa
Distribuidora del Norte S.A.(Edenor), Argentine electricity distribution
companies which hold the concession for the distribution of electricity in the
Buenos Aires metropolitan area. These contracts expired in the year 2000 and
have not been renewed. Endesa-Chile has not entered into contracted sales to
electricity distribution companies in years 2002 and 2003. The distribution of physical sales, in terms of customer segment, is shown

sales. In May 1998, in anticipation of the completion of a combined cycle plant
and the termination of the Edesur and Edenor contracts, Costanera entered into
a 20-year contract to sell 500 MW of electricity capacity to CIEN, a Brazilian
company of which Endesa-Chile has a 45% interest. An additional 462 MW of
Costanera  ́s capacity was committed through a contractual agreement to CEMSA, an
affiliated company of which Endesa-Chile has a 45% ownership share. Of the
current 962 MW of capacity committed by Costanera, 750 MW are from the first
interconnection line between Argentina and Brazil and 212 MW from the second
interconnection line between both countries. As a result of the high
hydroelectric production in south-east Brazil, there was no demand under these
energy export contracts during 2003. However, even though there was no call for
the export of energy, Costanera has received payments for having take-or-pay
capacity available for that market. During 2004, Costaneras 38

electricity generation has been affected by the natural gas crisis in the
Argentine economy. The need to generate electricity with alternative liquid
fuel has increased the dispatch of Costaneras Combined Cycle II. Physical sales of El Chocón were 4,676 GWh in year 2003, representing a
26% increase when compared to the 3,719 GWh sold in 2002 and also greater than
the 4,593 GWh sold in 2001. Contracted sales declined from 666 GWh in 2001 to
582 GWh in 2002, reaching 482 GWh in 2003. Contracted sales to the mining firm
Minera Alumbrerarepresented 100% of total contracted sales in 2003. The
remaining 4,194 GWh sales were delivered to the pool market. Endesa-Chile operates El Chocón for a fee payable to it pursuant to an
operating agreement with a term equal to the duration of the concession (30
years). The agreement is not terminable by Endesa-Chile for a period of five
years from the date its concession became effective. El Chocón does not have
the right to terminate the operating agreement, except following the
non-performance by Endesa-Chile of its agreed upon obligations. Under the
terms of the operating agreement, Endesa-Chile is entitled to a fee payable in
U.S. dollars based on El Chocóns annual gross revenues, payable in monthly
installments. El Chocón has agreed to indemnify Endesa-Chile against all
liabilities resulting from its operation of the facilities owned by El Chocón. Endesa-Chiles Argentine power plants compete with all the major power
plants connected to the SIN. Our major power plant competitors in Argentina
include the plants owned by the AES Group: San Nicolas (thermal 650 MW), Paraná
(thermal 845 MW) and Alicura (hydro 1,020 MW). Petrobras Energía S.A.competes
with Endesa-Chile through two power plants: Genelba(thermal 660 MW) and
Petrobras Energía(hydro 255 MW). Other significant power plants are Piedra
del Aguila(hydro 1,400 MW) and Central Puerto(thermal 2,100 MW) owned by
Totalfinaand TermoAndes(thermal 600 MW) owned by Gener S.A. but not connected
to the SIN. Electricity Generation in Argentina  Industry Structure and Regulatory Framework Ley NacionalNo. 24,065 of January 1992 (the Argentine Electricity Act)
divides the electricity industry into three sectors: generation, transmission
and distribution. The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis
with independent generation companies selling their output on the Wholesale
Electricity Market (WEM) or by private contracts with certain other market
participants. Transmission is organized on a regulated basis. Transmission
companies are required to provide third-party access to the transmission
systems they own and are authorized to collect a toll for transmission
services. Transmission companies are prohibited from generating or
distributing electricity. The major transmission company is Compañía de
Transporte de Energía Eléctrica en Alta Tensión S.A. or Transener.
Distribution involves the transfer of electricity from the supply points of
transmitters to consumers. Distribution companies operate as geographic
monopolies, providing service to almost all consumers within their specific
region. Accordingly, distribution companies are regulated as to rates and are
subject to service specifications. Distribution companies may acquire the
electricity needed to meet consumer demand on the WEM or through contracts with
generation companies. The WEM classifies large users of energy into three categories, Major
Large Users (GUMAs, in its Spanish acronym), Minor Large Users (GUMEs, in
its Spanish acronym) and Large Particular Users (GUPAs, in its Spanish
acronym). Users in each of the three categories may freely negotiate their
supply contract prices with generating companies. GUMAs are all users with a
peak capacity demand of at least 1.0 MW and a minimum annual energy consumption
of 4.38 GWh. GUMAs must contract to purchase at least 50% of their demand and
purchase the rest in the pool market. GUMEs are all users with peak capacity
demand ranging between 0.03 MW and 2.0 MW. GUPAs are all users with a peak
demand ranging between 0.03 MW and 0.1 MW. GUMEs and GUPAs are not required to
have a minimum annual energy consumption. GUMEs and GUPAs must contract to
purchase all of their demand and do not make any transactions in the pool
market. The regulation also recognizes the following entities as participants in
the WEM:  
    
    power traders, who market generation capacity and energy demand by
entering into contracts with generators and large consumers;
    
    provinces which can sell the energy received under royalty rights; and 39

    foreign companies that are part of import/export energy contracts. Dispatch and Pricing The Argentine electricity dispatch system, like the Chilean system, is
designed to ensure that the most efficiently produced electricity reaches
customers. SIN coordinates the generation, transmission, and distribution of
electricity. Generation companies sell their electricity to distribution
companies, power traders and large users in the competitive WEM through freely
negotiated supply contracts or in the electricity pool market at prices set by
the CAMMESA. The operation of the WEM is the responsibility of CAMMESA.
CAMMESAs shareholders are generation, transmission and distribution companies,
large users (through their respective associations) and the Secretariat of
Energy. All generation companies that are in the SIN pool operate in the WEM. The
contractual price is paid by distribution companies, power traders and large
users that have entered into supply contracts with generation companies. Large
users who contract directly with generation companies must also pay their
distribution companies a toll for the use of their distribution networks. The
average spot price is the price paid by distribution companies for electricity
from the pool and is a fixed price reset every six months by CAMMESA and
approved by the Secretariat of Energy according to supply, demand, available
capacity and other factors. The spot price is maintained for at least 90 days.
Thereafter, CAMMESA updates assumptions underlying the models employed to
establish the seasonal price based on current data and results provided by
companies that are members of the WEM. If the Secretariat of Energy finds
significant variance among current and prior data, it may resolve to change the
seasonal price. The spot price is the price paid to generation companies, or
by power traders marketing generation capacity, for energy dispatched under
CAMMESAs direction and for capacity required by CAMMESA to maintain adequate
reserves. The hourly price paid for energy reflects the marginal cost of
generation. The actual operation of CAMMESA involves the dispatch of generating
resources without regard to the contracts among generation companies, power
traders and distribution companies or large users. Consequently, a generation
companys capacity may be dispatched to provide more or less energy to the pool
irrespective of its contractual commitments. Under these circumstances, the
generation company will be obliged to buy or sell excess energy from or to the
pool at spot prices. Transmission Tariff The transmission tariff that must be paid by entities engaged in
generation and distribution activities and by large users can be broken down
into: (1) a connection charge that underwrites the costs of operating the
equipment that links them to the transmission system; (2) a capacity charge
that underwrites the cost of operating and maintaining lines; and (3) a
variable charge based on the aggregate amount of electric energy transported to
cover losses that occur during transmission. Regulation of Hydroelectric Operations Ley Nacional No. 23,896of 1990 created the Basin Authority of the Limay,
Neuquén and Negro Rivers (the Basin Authority). The Basin Authority is
responsible for the administration, control, use and preservation of the basin
of the Limay, Neuquén and Negro Rivers, and for the adequate management of
related water resources. The Basin Authority monitors compliance by El Chocón
and other hydroelectric concession holders in the region with the provisions of
their respective concession agreements, environmental laws and the Basin
Authoritys resolutions. The Basin Authority also serves as a forum for public
hearings at which complaints against those holding concessions can be heard and
resolved. The Entity for the Safety of Dams (ORSEP in its Spanish acronym) is in
charge of supervising the safety of El Chocóns dams, and of any additional
works performed by El Chocón. ORSEP supervises and inspects the construction,
operation, maintenance, repair or modification of the works related to the dams
and related structures in order to monitor their safety and to protect persons
and assets. ORSEP is empowered to: (1) inspect and verify the functioning of
any part of the dams or related structures; and (2) require reports on (a) the
design, construction, operation, maintenance, use, repair or modification of
dams and related structures and (b) any situation which may cause risk to the
dam or any death or injury caused by such dams or related structures. ORSEP
also handles the 40

approval of quality control programs submitted by El Chocón, the
determination of specifications to prevent accidents and the maintenance of
public safety within the area of the dams and related structures. Emergency Measures As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine electricity regulatory
framework is undergoing profound changes, the effect of which is hard to
evaluate in terms of long-lasting impacts. Although Law 24,065 has not been
formally repealed, the trend that has been observed in 2002 to date leads us to
believe that there will be increased state intervention that will modify the
regulatory framework described in this annual report. In particular, in
January 2002, the Economic Emergency Law was promulgated. This law authorizes
the executive power to renegotiate public service concession contracts. Recent Electricity Regulatory Changes In 2002, the Secretary of Energy introduced some regulatory measures
(Resolutions Nos. 2, 8 and others) in order to correct the mismatches produced
by the devaluation of the Argentine peso and to ensure the normal operation of
generation activities. An important provision, with respect to the calculation
of spot prices, is the recognition of the U.S. dollar as the correct currency
of denomination for certain variable costs of production such as liquid fuels,
which are tradable goods, some foreign machinery spare parts and long-term
maintenance contracts with equipment suppliers that are denominated in foreign
currency. A second important aspect of these regulatory measures was to adjust the
price stabilization system in order to identify real costs and prices, reduce
price volatility and diminish the arbitrage risk resulting from differences
between spot prices and seasonal prices. In this respect, an anticipated pool
market has resulted that introduces a prior pricing adjustment to energy prices
that acts as a price stabilization system. Subsequently, the Secretary of Energy enacted Resolution No. 246/02 that
established various regulatory changes. The following are the more significant
measures:  
    
    the separation of capacity and energy payments such that the
capacity payments are tied to availability and short-term reserves are
regulated and tied to commitment reserves;  
    
    the modification of energy supply guarantee rights and obligations,
supply priority and demand disruptions, and regulation of short- and
medium-term reserves for service disruption conditions with respect to
large customers;  
    
    a new capacity relief scheme proposed by CAMMESA;  
    
    the integration of node and adaptation factors for demand without
affecting the calculation of the variable transmission remuneration and
energy delivered by generators and traders;  
    
    the acknowledgement of new tax rates that are applied to natural
gas, oil and fuel transfers as additional costs;  
    
    conditions of the contract market are eased and expanded; and  
    
    the adjustment of forced generation regulations. On July 18, 2002 Resolution No. 317 of the Secretary of Energy, which
supplements Resolution No. 246, increased the capacity payment from 10 Ar$/MW
to 12 Ar$/MW in the hours that the capacity is remunerated. Finally, on January
2, 2003 the Secretary of Energy enacted Resolution SE No. 1/03, whose principal
features are the following:  
    
    the remuneration for generators with variable cost higher than the
first failure cost step (120 Ar$/MWh) is incremented; 41

##### Table of Contents




    
    establishment of a new reserve service to ensure availability in
areas where shortage of natural gas in winter will be foreseen;  
    
    adjustment of the reserve service reliability to cover the peak time capacity demand;  
    
    re-establishment of the anticipated pool market operation for seasonal energy transactions; and  
    
    institution of a transitional process to identify and manage the
high voltage system and distribution expansions and to improve the
availability of energy supply. With respect to generation, the regulatory changes are introduced to:  
    
    increase the actual spot price transparency to improve the
predictability of the generators remunerations and facilitate their
decisions; and  
    
    gradually obtain a more stable seasonal price. With respect to transmission, the regulatory changes are introduced to:  
    
    provide more environmentally friendly practices and create
incentives to accomplish certain critical projects; and  
    
    revise the operational and design guidelines to meet the safety and
operating requirements enacted in the law. By means of Resolution No. 82/2003 and, more recently, Resolution No.
784/2003, the Secretary of Energy approved the winter seasonal scheduling,
quarterly reschedulings and summer seasonal schedulings for the WEM maintaining
the seasonal prices to be paid by the distributors at levels similar to those
in force in November 2002. Therefore, the 2003 energy winter prices continue,
and the 2003/2004 energy summer prices will continue, to omit the increase
required to cover the spot prices payable to the generation companies. As a
consequence, the seasonal stabilization fund (created by the regulation to
collect the seasonal stabilization prices paid by distributors and to provide
the amounts to cover the gap between the spot prices that vary on an hourly
basis and the seasonal prices that are passed through to the end users by the
distributors) is now depleted. In accordance with Resolution SE No. 406/2003,
the Secretary of Energy established a priority for payments in the WEM by which
generators are compensated only after certain other creditors of the WEM are
compensated, granting hydro-generators priority only in collecting the part of
their remuneration which reflects their operational and transmission costs, and
eliminated the right of hydro-generators to collect the total energy price
sanctioned in the electricity pool market. Additionally, on August 14, 2003 the Secretary of Energy took further
measures pursuant to Resolution SE No. 240/2003 which temporarily imposed,
until certain alleged restrictions in the supply of natural gas are overcome,
an artificial cap on the energy spot price as a result of ignoring the actual
restrictions of gas supply to electricity generation companies which may occur
in real time operation for calculating the spot price. According to the
Resolution, the WEM does not consider variable costs reflecting liquid fuels
prices but only natural gas tariffs, in order to recognize marginal costs to
define the energy spot price, and excludes the possibility that water values
declared by hydro facilities and hourly import transactions of energy may set
spot prices in the event they are higher than the variable costs of the
marginal unit using natural gas. Further, Resolution SE No. 240/2003 also
discriminates against hydro generators, by not permitting them to recognize
their generation costs in excess of the node-price, whereas thermal generators
variable costs over and above the node-price continue to be recognized as a
temporary excess dispatch cost. Government Resolutions adopted during 2004 Argentina is currently going through what has been called a Natural Gas
Crisis. Towards the end of the first quarter of 2004, the Argentine
Government announced the restriction of natural gas exports and distribution
within Argentina. Most recent publications establish the main cause of these
restrictions to be the lack of investment in extraction and transportation
capacity within Argentina, as well as the increased internal demand for natural
gas. According to analysts, both elements are due to the pesification and
freezing of the price of natural gas in Argentina 42

since the beginning of year 2002. This artificial low price would have
encouraged consumers to replace more expensive oil derivative energy for
natural gas, leading to an explosive growth in demand. On the other hand, the
fixed price of natural gas discouraged producers from investing in exploration
and increasing their extraction and transportation capacity. Consequently,
current supply is not able to satisfy internal demand and export commitments.
The Argentine Government Authorities have responded with distribution
restriction resolutions seeking to reduce the risk of residential shortages.
This crisis and the Governments resolutions have affected the electricity
industry in Argentina, and also the normal operation of the Chilean energy
industry, an important destination of Argentine exports. In February, 2004, the Secretary of Energy by means of Resolution 93/2004
increased seasonal prices, introducing a segmentation of demand in three
levels:  i)
    
    Residential demand whose consumption is less than 10 kW;ii)
    
    Commercial and small and medium sized industrial consumption between
10 and 300 kW; andiii)
    
    Large customers whose consumption is greater than 300 kW. The seasonal price for residential customers remained the same as
established in November 2002, but the seasonal price for the other two segments
increased nearly 80% and 110%, respectively. These price increases have not restored the balance of the seasonal
stabilization fund, and therefore have not affected resolutions 240/2003 and
406/2003, previously discussed, which are still in place. Environmental Regulation The operations of electricity generation facilities are subject to federal
and local environmental laws and regulations, including Ley Nacional No. 24,051
(the Hazardous Waste Law) enacted in January 1992 and its implementing
decree, Decree No. 831/93, which regulates the disposal of hazardous waste in
Argentina. Pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Argentine
government for the concession relating to El Chocóns hydroelectric facilities
and the sale of Costanera, El Chocón and Costanera must comply with certain
reporting rules, monitoring obligations and emission standards. The failure by
El Chocón and Costanera to comply with these requirements as well as federal
and local environmental legislation entitles the Argentine government to impose
penalties, and in certain cases, cancel the El Chocón concession agreement or
order the suspension of operations of Costanera. Costanera and El Chocón have
filed reports pursuant to the Hazardous Waste Law and its implementing decree,
Decree 831/93. They have been informed that they have been classified as
eventual generators of hazardous waste. Endesa-Chile believes that El Chocón
and Costanera are in compliance with all material obligations relating to
environmental matters. Emergency Measures As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine electricity regulatory
framework is undergoing profound changes, the effect of which is hard to
evaluate in terms of long-lasting impacts. Although Law 24,065 has not been
formally repealed, the trend that has been observed since 2002 leads us to
believe that there will be increased state intervention that will modify the
regulatory framework described in this annual report. In particular, in
January 2002, the Argentine congress approved the Public Emergency and Reform
of the Exchange Regulation Law 25,561 (the Economic Emergency Law). This law
authorized the forced renegotiation of public service contracts, imposed the
conversion of dollar denominated obligations into Argentine pesos at a rate of
AR$1 per US$1 (with some exceptions) and empowered the Federal Executive Power
to implement, among other things, additional monetary, financial and exchange
measures to overcome the economic crisis in the medium term, such as create a
system for determining the rate at which the Argentine peso is to be exchanged
into foreign currencies. From December 3, 2001 to May 6, 2003, the Argentine government imposed a
number of monetary and currency exchange control measures that included
restrictions on the free transfer of funds deposited with banks and severe
restrictions on transferring funds abroad, with certain exceptions for
transfers related to foreign trade and other authorized transactions. The
restrictions requiring the Argentine Central Banks prior authorization for the 43

transfer of funds abroad in order to make payments of principal and/or
interest, which were in place during 2002, were progressively reduced from
January to May 2003. Since the beginning of the Argentine crisis, many companies in Argentina,
especially those with foreign currency indebtedness, have fallen behind
temporarily on payments of certain debt obligations, and have had to constantly
renegotiate new payment schedules and terms with creditors. During 2003, we
have rolled over US$109 million in financial debt, paid US$31 million in
principal and extended the maturity of this debt from 12 to 18 months.
Costanera is delayed on payments aggregating US$3.6 million of bank debt,
representing the entire remaining principal amount outstanding under an export
credit facility. Costanera is in advanced discussions with the lender under
this facility and expects to reach an agreement providing for partial payment
and a rescheduling of the remainder of the debt. Operations in Peru Operating Income from the companys business in Peru represented 19%, 20%
and 18% of Endesa Chiles total operating income for the years 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively. Operating revenues and expenses for the three years are

5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. Endesa-Chile, through its subsidiary Edegel operates a total of eight
generation plants in Peru, with a total installed capacity as of December 2003
of 967 MW. Edegel owns seven hydroelectric power plants, with a total
installed capacity of 739 MW, two of which are located 280 kilometers from Lima
and five of which are located at an average distance of 50 kilometers from
Lima. The company has one thermal plant located in the city of Lima, which
represents the remaining 228 MW of total installed capacity. Installed capacity in 2002 reached 1,003 MW, slightly higher than the 2003
installed capacity of 967 MW. On July 31, 2003, 36 MW of the capacity of the
Santa Rosa thermal power plant was reduced on the system. Endesa-Chiles
hydroelectric and thermal generation plants in Peru represent 22% of the
countrys total electricity generation capacity according to the countrys
official December 2003 statistics. The following chart sets forth the installed capacity of Edegel, our

    On July 31, 2003, 35.9 MW of the Santa Rosa plant were withdrawn, leaving
a capacity of 227.7 MW, because the cost of maintaining certain units
operational exceeded the revenues received for their capacity. Endesa-Chiles total electricity generation in Peru reached 4,458 GWh in
2003, 4% higher than the electricity generation of 4,279 GWh in 2002, and also
greater than the 4,355 GWh in 2001. Endesa-Chiles generation market share was
approximately 22% of total electricity production in Peru in 2003,
approximately 22% for 2002 and 23% for 2001. ELECTRICITY GENERATION PER SUBSIDIARY IN PERU (GWh)2001

 Hydrological conditions and reservoir levels allowed hydroelectric
generation to amount to 99.6% of Edegels total production in 2003. Edegels
hydroelectric generation has accounted for more than 99% of its total
generation since 2001. The portion of electricity supplied by Edegels own
generation was 95.9% of total physical sales, requiring only a small amount of
purchases to satisfy contractual obligations to customers. Edegel maintains contractual agreements with diesel suppliers which fix
the transportation cost of the fuel but do not have fixed oil prices or oil
supply amounts. The amount purchased pursuant to these contracts responds to
estimated needs at the time of purchase, and price is determined by market
levels at that time. The following table sets forth the electricity generation and purchases
for Edegel over the past three years: PHYSICAL GWh PRODUCTION AND PURCHASES IN PERU Year ended December 31,2001

    Energy production plus energy purchases exceed electricity sales due to
energy losses and own consumption. In Peru there is only one interconnected system, Sistema Electrico
Interconectado Nacional, or the SINAC. Electricity demand in the SINAC
increased 5% during 2003 when compared to 2002, reaching a total yearly demand
of 20,690 GWh. Increased demand in Peru is partially a consequence of larger
electricity demand by the mining industry whose growth in electricity demand
has been driven by increasing copper and gold production due to higher
international prices for copper and gold. On November 21, 2003, an electricity supply contract was signed with
Compañía Minera Ares S.A.C.(Minera Ares), a mining company held by the
Hochschild Group, for 12 MW of capacity and associated energy. The contract
has been effective since January 2004 and has a term of 5 years. Minera Ares
exploits minerals (gold and 45

silver) for the mining units of Caylloma (2 MW), Minera Ares (5 MW) and
Arcata (5 MW). With this contract Edegel is not only increasing its mining
company customers but also expanding into a new geographic area in Peru. Edegels physical sales in 2003 increased nearly 7% compared to sales in
2002. The percentage of contracted sales increased in 2003 as compared to 2002
and 2001, due to an increase in sales to unregulated industrial customers.
Sales to regulated customers decreased to 47% of contracted sales in 2003, as
compared to 50% in 2002 and 56% in 2001. An average of seven large industrial
and commercial customers represent the contracted sales in every period. The
average number of years to expiration of these contracts is approximately 11
years. The distribution of Edegels physical sales, in terms of customer segment,
is shown in the following table: ENDESA-CHILE PHYSICAL SALES PER CUSTOMER SEGMENT IN PERU Year ended December 31,2001

 Because SINAC is the only interconnected transmission system in Peru, all
generation companies connected thereto may be considered competitors. However,
Endesa-Chiles most important competitors in Peru are the hydroelectric
generators, Electroperú and Egenor, whose capacity is approximately 860 MW and
553 MW, respectively. Electricity Generation in Peru  Industry Structure and Regulatory Framework The regulatory framework for the electricity industry in Peru was modeled
after the regulatory framework in Chile. Its main regulations are: Law of
Electrical Concessions (Law Decree No. 25,844) and its corresponding regulation
(Supreme Decree No. 009-93 EM), Technical Regulation on the Quality of the
Electrical Supply (Supreme Decree No. 020-97 EM), Antitrust Law on the
Electrical Sector (Law No. 26,876) and its corresponding regulation (Supreme
Decree No. 017-98-ITINCI), Law No. 26,734 which created the regime that
supervises Investments in Energy and its Regulation (Supreme Decree No.
005-97-EM), in addition to the supplementary Law 27,699 of Organismo Supervisor
de la Inversión en Energía, or OSINERG (the Peruvian regulatory electricity
authority) and the regulation for resolution of controversies that arise within
this institution (Resolution No. 0826-2002-OS/CD). Some of the most important characteristics of the regulatory framework of
the electricity industry in Peru are (i) vertical disintegration, or separation
of the three main activities: generation, transmission and distribution; (ii)
freedom of prices for the supply of energy in competitive markets and a system
of regulated prices based on the principle of efficiency (correct allocation
and utilization of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum costs);
and (iii) private operation of the interconnected electricity systems subject
to the principles of efficiency and service quality (compliance with the
technical requirements established in regulations affecting the sector). The electricity sector in Peru consists of one main interconnected system,
SINAC. As of October 2000 the two prior interconnected systems, Sistema
Interconectado Central-Norte (SICN), and Sistema Interconectado Sur (SIS)were
connected and formed the single integrated system. In Peru, the Ministerio de Energía y Minas, or the Ministry of Energy and
Mines, defines energy sector policies, and regulates matters relating to the
environment, and the granting, supervision, maturity and termination of
licenses, authorizations and concessions for generation, transmission, and
distribution activities, among others. The Organismo Supervisor de la
Inversión en Energía, or OSINERG, is an autonomous public regulatory entity
established in 1996 to control the compliance with legal and technical
regulations related to electrical and hydrocarbon activities, as well as the
conservation of the environment in connection with the development of these 46

activities. In September 2001, the Comisión de Tarifas de Energía, or
CTE, was absorbed by OSINERG. As a consequence, OSINERG  ́s Gerencia Adjunta de
Regulación Tarifariaperforms CTEs functions, which include publishing the
regulated tariffs. The Comité de Operación Económica del Sistema, or COES,
coordinates the dispatch of electricity of Perus SINAC in a manner similar to
the CDECs in Chile and prepares the technical and financial study that serves
as a basis for the semi-annual busbar (i.e., node) tariff calculations.
However, Perus COES consists of generation and transmission companies, whereas
in Chile the CDECs include only generation companies. As of October 1997, technical standards have been established in order to
compare the quality and conditions of the service provided by electricity
companies. As of October 1999, companies that do not meet the minimum quality
standards are subject to fines and penalties imposed by OSINERG, as well as to
compensatory mechanisms for customers who received substandard service. Dispatch and Pricing The dispatch methodology and pricing at the generation level in Peru are
virtually identical to the dispatch methodology and pricing in Chile, except
that node prices are referred to as busbar prices in Peru and unregulated
customers in Peru are those with demand greater than 1 MW, whereas in Chile
unregulated customers are those with demand greater than 0.5 MW. Additionally,
since 1999, capacity payment is determined with regard to a fixed guaranteed
component based on the efficiency of each plant and a variable component
dependant on the level of dispatch of each plant. Transmission At the transmission level in Peru, transmission lines are divided into
principal and secondary systems. The principal system lines are accessible to
all generators and allow electricity to be carried out to all customers. The
transmission concessionaire receives tariff revenues and connection tolls
reflecting a charge per kW. The secondary system lines are accessible to all
generators, but are used to serve only certain customers, who in turn are
responsible for making payments related to their use of the system. Distribution Pricing Sales by generation companies to distribution companies of capacity or
energy for resale to regulated customers must be made at busbar prices set by
OSINERG. Busbar prices for capacity and energy are published every six months,
in April and October and become effective the first day of May and November,
respectively. Busbar prices are the maximum prices for electricity purchased
by distribution companies that can be transferred to regulated customers.
Although these prices are quoted in Peruvian soles, the calculations are mainly
performed in US$. Other conditions of distribution pricing are similar to
those in Chile. The electricity tariff for a customer of the Servicio Público de
Electricidad(regulated clients) includes charges for capacity and energy from
generation and transmission (busbar prices) and from the VAD which considers a
regulated return over capital investments, operating and maintenance fixed
charges and a standard for energy distribution losses. Concessions A concession for electricity generation activities is required when a
hydroelectric or geothermal power plant has an installed capacity in excess of
10 MW. An authorization for electricity generation activities is required when
either a thermoelectric, hydroelectric or geothermal power plant has an
installed capacity in excess of 500 kW. A concession of electricity generation activity constitutes an agreement
between the generator and Ministry of Energy and Mines while an authorization
is merely a unilateral permission granted by the Ministry. Authorizations and
concessions are granted by the Ministry under the procedures set forth in the
Law of Electrical Concessions and its regulations and amendments. In
accordance with national developments, the Ministry currently establishes the 47

priorities to admit new applications for temporal and definitive
concessions to be integrated in the interconnected systems. Changes to the Law of Electricity Concessions Currently, the Dirección General de Electricidad at the Ministerio de
Energía y Minas(the Ministry of Energy and Mines) has summoned regulators,
customer representatives and electricity operators who are members of the
Comité de Energía de la Sociedad Nacional de Minería, Petróleo y Energía

(National Energy Committee) to discuss changes to the electricity regulatory
framework. The changes to be discussed involve three main areas of reform: the
consolidation of the electricity sector, the improvement of economic
efficiency, and certain technical and procedural matters. A subcommittee has
been formed to address each of these three areas. Within these areas, the
National Energy Committee will aim, among other goals, to encourage private
investment and increase competition in the electricity sector, improve the
quality of the transmission systems, regulate international electricity
transmission line interconnections, improve the methodology used to determine
generation costs, adjust the definition of regulated customer and define the
procedures for granting concessions. Operations in Colombia Operating Income from the companys business in Colombia represented 21%,
22%, and 25% for years 2001, 2002 and 2003 of Endesa-Chiles total operating
income. Operating revenues and expenses for the three years are shown in the

 For details on the variations of yearly monetary figures, please see Item
5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. Endesa-Chiles presence in Colombia is based on two electricity generation
companies, Betania and Emgesa. Endesa-Chile has an 85.6% ownership interest in
Betania, and through Betania has a 22.4% indirect ownership interest in Emgesa.
Betania is the operator of Emgesa, although it receives no compensation in
return. As of December 31, 2003 Endesa -Chile, through both subsidiaries, operated
a total of nine generation plants in Colombia, with a total installed capacity
of 2,589 MW as of December 2003, of which 93.4% is hydroelectric. Betania has
one 540 MW hydroelectric facility south of Bogotá. Emgesa had a total
installed capacity of 2,049 MW as of December 31, 2003, 89% of which was
hydroelectric. Emgesas main facilities are located in the Cundinamarca and
Huila regions of Colombia. In April 2004, Emgesa added a new power plant to
its operations, Tequen Dama, this plant has an installed capacity of 19 MW and
is located along the Bogota River. The total combined installed capacity of both companies decreased by 145
MW in 2003 as compared to 2002. This reduction of installed capacity was
caused by the following changes during 2003:  
    
    On October 10, 2003, Emgesas Cadena Vieja (Cadena Casalaco)
facility suspended operations, because the costs associated with
maintaining this plant operational were greater than the revenues from
these plants electricity generation,which had accounted for 241 MW of
hydro installed capacity.
    
    On October 25, 2003, Cadena Pagua (Cadena Nueva) officially
increased installed capacity by 20 MW based on the improvements
performed on the refrigeration systems of the plant. 48


    
    Four minor hydroelectric plants were incorporated into the
electricity system with a total capacity of 76 MW. Endesa-Chiles hydro-electric and thermal generation plants in Colombia
represent approximately 20% of the countrys total electricity generation
capacity, according to the countrys December 2003 official statistics.
Although this 2003 market share is equal to that of 2002, it is lower than
Endesa-Chiles installed capacity market share of 2001, which was approximately
23% of the Colombian system. This decline in the past two years can be
attributed to both the suspension of the Cadena Vieja hydro facility (241 MW)
and the introduction of new hydro facilities owned by Chivor S.A. and Isagen
S.A., our main competitors in Colombia. The following table sets forth the installed generation capacity of

 Approximately 91% of Endesa-Chiles total installed capacity in Colombia
is hydroelectric. As a result, our physical generation depends on the
reservoir levels and yearly rainfalls. Endesa-Chiles total electricity
generation in Colombia reached 10,794 GWh in 2003 compared to 10,699 GWh in
2002 and 10,189 registered in 2001. Endesa-Chiles generation market share in
Colombia has remained stable since 2001 at approximately 23%. In addition to
hydrological conditions, the amount of generation is dependant on the companys
commercial strategy. Colombias electricity market is less regulated than the
markets of the other countries in which Endesa-Chile operates. Companies are
free to offer their electricity at the price that they determine convenient at
any point in time, as opposed to being forced by a centralized operating entity
to generate according to the minimum marginal costs of the system. The following table sets forth the energy generation for each of
Endesa-Chiles Colombian subsidiaries: ENERGY GENERATION PER SUBSIDIARY IN COLOMBIA (GWh)2001(1)

    The generation figures were corrected in order to show gross rather than
net generation. Hydrological conditions in 2003 translated into lower generation for
Betania because of reduced rainfall in its geographic area when compared to
2002, but greater hydroelectric generation in Emgesa, due to increased rainfall
in its geographic area allowing for a decrease in thermal generation and a
reduction in the level of physical energy purchases, when compared to 2002.
Considering that thermal generation is not significant, accounting for only
8.6% of Endesa-Chiles total installed capacity in Colombia at December 2003
and less than 2% of total generation in Colombia during 2003, maintaining
long-term contracts with coal suppliers to assure coal supply is not critical 49

and these contracts are therefore negotiated annually. Since 2001,
hydroelectric generation has composed over 97% of Endesa-Chiles total
generation in Colombia. The following table sets forth the levels of electricity production and
purchases for Endesa-Chiles Colombian subsidiaries for the past three years: PHYSICAL GWh PRODUCTION AND PURCHASES IN COLOMBIA Year ended December 31,2001

    Energy production plus energy purchases exceed electricity sales due to
energy losses and own consumption. The sole interconnected electricity system in Colombia is the Colombian
National Interconnected System, or the Colombian SIN. Electricity demand in
the Colombian SIN increased 2.9% during 2003 as compared to 2002, reaching a
total yearly consumption of 46,113 GWh. Similarly, in 2002, electricity
consumption in the Colombian SIN increased 3.3%, from 43,373 GWh in 2001 to
44,811 in 2002. Endesa-Chiles physical sales, on the other hand, declined in
both 2003 and 2002 as compared to 2001. This decline was a consequence of the
companys commercial strategy, which determined convenient to reduce energy
purchases in the pool market. The demand in Colombias electricity market has also been affected by the
interconnection with the electricity system of Equador, which began operations
in March 2003, referred to as International Transactions of Energy (TIE).
During 2004 an interconnection line between Equador and Peru is expected to be
operational. Both interconnections with transmission lines represent a
potential for greater competition, because generators in Equador may generate
and export electricity to Colombia. However, based on the level of capacity
and price levels in each country, it is more likely that Colombian generators
will be exporting electricity to Equador. During 2003, Emgesa served an average of 715 customers, including both
regulated and non regulated customers, and Betania served a total of 7
regulated customers. Endesa-Chiles sales to the distribution company Codensa
accounted for 34% of its total sales in 2003. Physical sales to the six
largest non-regulated customers reached 2.1% altogether. The distribution of physical sales, in terms of customer segment, is shown
in the following table: ENDESA-CHILE PHYSICAL SALES PER CUSTOMER SEGMENT IN COLOMBIA Year ended December 31,2001

Electricity Generation in Colombia  Industry Structure and Regulatory
Framework The Colombian constitution provides that it is the governments duty to
ensure that public services are made available in an efficient manner to
everyone. Ley Número 142of 1994 (Law 142) provides the broad regulatory
framework for the provision of residential public services, including
electricity, and Ley Número 143of 1994 (the Colombian Electricity Act)
provides the regulatory framework for the generation, trading, transmission and
distribution of energy. Law 142 establishes that the provision of electricity services is an
essential public service that may be provided by government and private sector
entities. Utility companies are required to: (1) ensure continuous and
efficient service without abuse of a dominant position; (2) facilitate
low-income users access to subsidies granted by the authorities; (3) inform
users regarding efficient and safe use of the services; (4) protect the
environment; (5) allow access and interconnection to other public service
companies, their large users, or to their services; (6) cooperate with the
authorities in the event of emergency to prevent damage to the users; and (7)
report the commencement of their activities to the appropriate regulatory
commission and the Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios
(Superintendency of Public Services) (SSP). The Colombian Electricity Act sets out the following principles for the
electricity industry, which are implemented in the resolutions promulgated by
the Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas(CREG) and other regulatory
bodies governing the electricity sector: (1) efficiency  the correct
allocation and use of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum cost;
(2) quality  compliance with the technical requirements established in
regulations affecting the sector; (3) continuity  a continuous electricity
supply without unjustified interruptions; (4) adaptability  the incorporation
of modern technology and administrative systems to promote quality and
efficiency; (5) neutrality  the impartial treatment of all electricity
consumers; (6) solidarity  the provision of funds by higher  income consumers
to subsidize the subsistence consumption of lower income consumers; and (7)
equity  an adequate and non  discriminatory supply of electricity to all
regions and sectors of the country. Prior to the passage of the Colombian Electricity Act, the Colombian
electricity sector was extensively vertically integrated. The Colombian
Electricity Act separately regulates generation, transmission, trading and
distribution (the Activities). Under this law, any company, domestic or
foreign, may undertake any of the Activities. New companies, however, must
engage exclusively in one of the Activities. Trading can be combined with
either generation or distribution. Companies which were vertically integrated
at the time the Colombian Electricity Act became effective may continue to
engage in all the Activities in which they were engaged prior to the
effectiveness of the Colombian Electricity Act but must maintain separate
accounting records for each Activity. Effective as of January 1, 2002, the market share of generators, traders
and distributors has been limited as follows:  
    
    a generator may not own more than 25% of the installed generating capacity in Colombia;
    
    a trader may not account for over 25% of the trading activity in the Colombian SIN; and
    
    a distributor cannot have more than 25% of the distribution activity in the Colombian SIN. In order to calculate these limits, the participation of a given company
is added to those of other companies of the same corporate group, of parent
companies, of affiliates and of subsidiaries. In addition, effective as of
January 1, 2002, generators may not own more than a 25% interest in a
distributor, and vice versa; however, this limitation only applies to
individual companies and does not preclude cross-ownership by companies of the
same corporate group, nor by its parents, affiliates or subsidiaries. In 2000,
CREG issued Resolution 42 which established that no generator may increase,
directly or indirectly, its participation in the Generation Market pursuant to
acquisitions or mergers, if the total MW of Net Effective Capacity resulting
therefrom exceed the so-called Capacity Band as set by the CREG. Through
Resolution 5 of 2002, CREG set the Capacity Band at 4,250 MW. The CREG042-1999
resolution also includes rules to determine the participation of a company and
its investors in the generation, distribution and trading businesses. 51

The Ministry of Mines and Energy defines the governments policies for the
energy sector. Other government entities which play an important role in the
electricity industry are: (1) the Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos
Domiciliarios(SSPD), which is in charge of overseeing and inspecting the
companies incorporated as public services companies; (2) the CREG, which is in
charge of regulating the energy and gas sectors; and (3) the Unidad de
Planeación Minera y Energética(Mining and Energy Planning Agency), which is in
charge of planning the expansion and along with the Comité Asesor para el
Planeamiento de la Transmisión(CAPT), determines the expansion of the
generation and transmission network, among other tasks. Under the Colombian Electricity Act, the CREG is empowered to issue
mandatory regulations governing the technical and commercial operation of the
sector and the setting of charges for regulated activities. The CREGs main
functions are as follows: (1) establish the conditions for the gradual
deregulation of the electricity sector toward an open and competitive market;
(2) approve charges for the transmission and distribution networks and charges
for trading to regulated customers; (3) establish the methodology for
calculating and establishing maximum tariffs for supplying the regulated
market; (4) establish the operations regulations for the planning and
coordination of the operation of the Colombian National Interconnected System;
(5) establish technical requirements for the quality, reliability and security
of supply; and (6) protect customers rights. CREG resolutions do not require Congressional approval. Law 142 of 1994
establishes that any CREG Resolution, that gives rise to a right or obligation
of an individual utility, may be contested first through a recurso de
reposición, an appeal filed with the CREG which makes a decision or promulgates
an administrative act, requesting reversal, modification or clarification of
its decisions or Resolutions; and secondly through lawsuits before
administrative courts. Resolutions of a general nature may be directly
contested through a lawsuit before an administrative court. CREG also has the
authority to resolve disputes between participants in the electricity and gas
sectors, per their request, through arbitration, when the dispute involves the
interpretation of operational or commercial rules. The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis with generation
companies selling their production on the electricity pool market in an energy
pool known as the Bolsa de Energía (the Bolsa) at the spot price or by
long-term private contracts with certain other market participants and
non-regulated users at freely negotiated prices. The Colombian SIN is the
Colombian electricity system formed by the following elements: the generation
plants, the interconnection grid, the regional and inter-regional transmission
lines, the distribution lines and the electrical loads of the users. Betania
and Emgesa are part of the SIN. The spot price is the price paid by the
participant in the wholesale market for energy dispatched under the direction
of the Centro Nacional de Despacho (CND). The hourly spot price paid for
energy reflects prices offered by generators in the Bolsa and the respective
supply and demand. Generators connected to the SIN also receive a capacity
charge provided they meet certain conditions established in the CREG Resolution
116 of 1996 (Resolution 116), as amended by Resolution 113 of 1998,
Resolutions 47 and 59 of 1999 and Resolutions 77 and 111 of 2000. The capacity
charge is calculated pursuant to formulas also included in such Resolutions.
Since the creation of the wholesale electricity market in July of 1995,
relatively stable amounts of energy have been exchanged between generators and
distribution companies, acting in their capacity as traders. Initially,
distribution companies were required to enter into contracts to supply 100% of
their unregulated market and, although this requirement has gradually been
reduced, they have still tended to secure contractors for a large proportion of
their unregulated market. Dispatch and Pricing The purchase and sale of electricity can take place between generators,
distributors acting in their capacity as traders, traders (who do not generate
or distribute electricity) and unregulated consumers. There are no
restrictions limiting new entrants into the market as long as the participants
comply with the applicable laws and regulations. The principal function of the Bolsa is to allow for the sale of excess
energy not committed under contracts and for spot sales of electricity. Its
operations are similar to the electricity pools which operate in England and
Wales. In the Bolsa an hourly spot price for all units dispatched is
established based on the offer price of the highest priced generating unit
dispatched for that period. Every day the CND receives price bids from all the
generators that participate in the Bolsa. These bids indicate the daily prices
at which the generators are willing to supply electricity and the hourly
available capacity for the following day. Based on this information, the CND
following the principle known as optimal dispatch (which assumes an infinite
transmission capacity through the network) ranks the 52

##### Table of Contents



generators according to their offer price, starting with the lowest bid,
thereby establishing on an hourly basis the merit order in which generators
would be dispatched in the following day to meet expected demand. The price in
the Bolsa for all generators is set by the costliest generator dispatched in
each hourly period under the optional dispatch. This price ranking system is
intended to ensure that national demand, increased by the total amount of
energy exported to other countries will be satisfied by the lowest cost
combination of available generating units in the country. During 2003,
international short-term electricity transactions were regulated through
Resolution CREG 004, which became effective when trade with Equador began.
Also, the CND performs the planned dispatch, which takes into consideration
the limitations of the network as well as every other condition necessary to
attend energy demands expected for the following day, in a secure, reliable and
cost-efficient manner. The planned dispatch is revised continuously by the CND
in response to any changes affecting the system (e.g., demand, actual plant
availability, system restrictions, etc.) that may take place throughout the
day. Differences among real dispatch and optimal dispatch give rise to what
are known as restrictions, which are settled for each generator in the
following way: restricted generators (those whose real generation is lower
than optimal dispatch) are charged with the difference, appraised at their
offer prices; and out-of-merit generators (those whose real generation is
greater than optimal dispatch) are credited with the difference, also appraised
at their offer price. The net value of these restrictions are assigned
proportionally to all the traders within the Colombian SIN, according to their
demands of energy. The attacks by guerrillas on the transmission
infrastructure gave rise to a significant increase in restrictions, which in
turn gave rise to claims from users given the subsequent increase of tariffs.
This situation forced CREG to issue Resolution 34 (2001) and some other
amending resolutions, in order to intervene in the settlement of the
restrictions, in such a manner that for the restricted generators, the
difference is appraised with the sum of the offer price and the spot price.
The out-of-merit generators have a maximum cap on the recognized price, in
accordance with pre-established values. This Resolution, which is still in
force, despite the fact that it had been announced as a temporary measure, has
been challenged, and in certain cases, has resulted in legal proceedings
initiated by the generators, who consider that the recognized prices do not
cover the costs associated with these restrictions. The dominance of hydroelectric generation and the marked seasonal
variations in Colombias hydrology result in a high degree of price volatility
in the Bolsa. In order to enhance predictability and mitigate the volatility
of spot sale prices, CREG introduced a new firm capacity charge pursuant to
Resolution 116 (the Capacity Charge), effective as of December 1, 1997,
amended by Resolution 113 of 1998, Resolutions 47 and 59 of 1999 and
Resolutions 77 and 111 of 2000. The Capacity Charge is a fixed monthly charge
intended to be equivalent to the capital costs of an open-cycle gas turbine.
The Capacity Charge remunerates generators for the firm capacity made available
to the Colombian SIN in periods of critical hydrology. Generators receive the
Capacity Charge payment regardless of actual plant dispatch, provided that
their declared availability exceeds certain limits and that they meet other
conditions set forth in Resolution 116 as amended. The Capacity Charge
provides generators with a source of fixed revenue which is dependent primarily
on the generators own firm energy. The CND can verify a generators declared
availability and the SSPD can impose sanctions if the actual availability is
lower than the declared availability. If a generators availability is less
than the minimum limit, the generator does not receive the total amount of the
Capacity Charge. If a generators availability is less than the minimum limit during the
dry season, between December 1 and April 30 of each year, the generator only
receives the Capacity Charge equivalent to its actual availability. Also, the
minimum limit for the rainy season (between May 1 and November 30 of each year)
is determined by the lowest value between the minimum limit and the average
actual availability during the dry season. In 2000, Resolution 111 modified the calculation of the Capacity Charge
for generation companies, shifting the balance in favor of thermal generators
over hydroelectric generators. The Capacity Charge of a given power plant is
calculated on the basis of the firm energy that could be supplied during a
period of drought assuming hydrological conditions that prevailed during the
El Niño phenomenon that occurred between 1992 and 1994. Pursuant to
Resolution 111 (2000) the capacity charge of a given power plant is calculated
by the basis of the firm energy that could be supplied during a hypothetical
period that assumes the most severe hydrological conditions. In March 2003, the Colombian pool market started the TIE with Equador.
During the year, Colombia exported 1,129 GWh and imported 67 GWh. Please refer
to the section titled Operations in Colombia for more information. 53

Transmission Transmission companies (defined as those that operate networks of voltages
of at least 220kV, which in turn make up the National Transmission System, or
NTS) are required to provide third-party access to the transmission system
under equal conditions and are authorized to collect a tariff for transmission
services. If the parties do not agree upon the conditions of such access, the
CREG is entitled to impose an easement of access. The transmission tariff that
must be paid by generators, distribution companies and traders is composed of:  
    
    a connection charge that underwrites the cost of operating the
equipment that links the user to the transmission system, which is not
charged if the generator is the owner of the connecting equipment; and
    
    a usage charge, applicable only to traders, effective January 1,
2002. The NTS regulates income for transmission companies by means of a
guaranteed annual fixed income, subject to the compliance of certain minimum
availability, which is determined by the new replacement value of the networks
and equipment existing as of January 1, 2000, and in the case of new projects,
by the resulting value of the bidding processes awarded for the expansion of
the NTS. Until 2001, the monthly value required in order to compensate
transmission companies within the NTS was allocated as follows: 25% for
generators and 75% for NTS traders. Effective January 1, 2002, such value has
been allocated 100% among the traders of the NTS in proportion to the energy
demand registered by all of its clients. According to CREG Resolution 51/98, with the exception of Interconexión
Eléctrica S.A. E.S.P.(the government-owned transmission company), no company
can own more than 25% of the NTS. The expansion of the NTS is carried out according to model expansion plans
designed by Unidad Planeación Minero-Energética(UPME) and pursuant to
bidding processes opened to existing transmission companies and new companies,
which are handled by the Ministry of Mines and Energy following the guidelines
set forth in CREG Resolution 51 of 1998. According to such Resolution, the
construction, operation and maintenance of new projects is awarded to the
Company that demands the lowest present value of cash flows needed for carrying
out the project. Distribution Distribution is defined as the operation of local networks at below 220
kV. Any user may have access to a distribution network provided the user pays
a connection charge. The CREG regulates distribution prices and operations.
Distribution prices should permit distribution companies to recover their
reasonable costs, including operating, maintenance and capital costs. The use
of the system charges (DUOS charges) for each company is approved by CREG and
varies depending on the voltage level. CREG must calculate DUOS charges for each company. The methodology set by
CREG for establishing charges for the five years ending December 31, 2002 is
contained in Resolution 99 of 1997 and is based on the replacement cost of the
distribution assets prevailing at the moment the charges are being calculated
(the calculation method assumes that the marginal cost for new projects is
lower than or equal to the approved average cost, and allows any excess over
the average cost to be charged to the users interested in projects that do not
meet such condition) and an assumed opportunity cost of capital, as well as
operation and maintenance costs. Trading Trading is the resale directly to end users of electricity purchased in
the wholesale market and may be conducted by generators, distributors or
independent agents which must comply with the requirements of the CREG.
Trading prices for unregulated users are freely agreed upon by the parties.
Trading to regulated users is subject to a regulated freedom regime where the
tariffs are set by each trader using the tariff options based on a formula
established by CREG in Resolution 31 (1997) for the 5-year period ending on
December 31, 2002. Tariffs are determined pursuant to a combination of:  
    
    general cost formulas given by CREG; and
    
    individual trading costs approved by CREG for each trader. 54

The approved costs are maximum costs. Thus the traders may set tariffs
applying lower costs supported by economic reasons, duly evidenced. Tariffs
include, among others, the costs for the purchase of electricity by the trader,
transmission charges, distribution charges and a margin to cover the risks of
the activity and the return on the investment. The distribution market is divided into regulated and unregulated customer
markets. Customers in the unregulated market are free to contract electricity
supplies directly from a generator or distributor, acting in their capacities
as traders, or from a pure trader. Initially, the unregulated customer market
consisted of customers with a peak demand of more than 2 MW, which corresponds
to approximately 260 large industrial and commercial customers and represents
about 5% of the supply market. This peak demand threshold was reduced to 1 MW
as of January 1, 1997, to 0.5 MW as of January 1, 1998, and to 0.1 MW as of
January 1, 2000, or a minimum monthly consumption of 55 MWh. Because CREG did not decide on the new tariff formula to be applied in the
next tariff period, the current methodology remained in effect for 2003. It is
expected that the new tariff formula, the regulated margin for trading
activities and the conditions of competition of the industry will be determined
by the CREG in the second quarter of 2004. Environmental Regulation Law No. 99 of 1993 provides the legal framework on environmental
regulation and, among other actions, created the Ministry of the Environment as
the authority for establishing environmental policies, with a specific focus on
the definition, issuance and execution of policies and regulations seeking the
recuperation, conservation, protection, organization, administration and use of
renewable resources. Thus, the use of natural resources or any impact to them
as a result of any activity or project will require the issuance of permits and
environmental licenses or the establishment of environmental management plans.
The law places particular attention on environmental impact prevention by
entities in the energy sector. Any such entity planning to undertake projects
or activities relating to generation, interconnection, transmission or
distribution of electricity which may result in environmental deterioration,
must first obtain an environmental license. Since 1993, Colombia has experienced a significant expansion in its
environmental regulations as a result of Law No. 99. Law No. 99 requires
generators to contribute to the conservation of the environment by means of a
payment for the use of electricity generation. Hydraulic generators must pay
6% of their generation, and thermal generators must pay 4%. This payment is
made to the municipalities and environmental corporations where their
machinery, and the dams and river basins holding the water that they use for
their operations are located. Operations in Brazil Operating Income from the companys business in Brazil represented 8%, 5%,
and 1% for years 2001, 2002 and 2003 of Endesa-Chiles total operating income.

Endesa-Chile participates directly in the Brazilian electricity market
through its subsidiary Cachoeira Dourada, of which Endesa-Chile has a total
92.51% ownership share. Endesa-Chile also participates, through its
non-consolidated related company, CIEN, of which Endesa-Chile has a 45%
ownership interest, in the commercialization and transportation of electricity
between Argentina and Brazil. See Organization Structure for details.
Through CIEN, Endesa-Chile has participated in a 2,000 MW interconnection
project corresponding to the transmission interconnection line between
Argentina and Brazil. Cachoeira Dourada operates a 658 MW pass-through hydroelectric facility in
the State of Goias, south of Brasilia, which represents less than 0.8% of the
total installed capacity of Brazil. The installed capacity of the company has remained stable at 658 MW for
the past three years, although the installed capacity in Brazil expanded 7,000
MW in 2002 and 4,200 MW in 2003. INSTALLED GENERATION CAPACITY IN BRAZIL (MW)2001

 The companys total physical generation in 2003 was 3,024 GWh,
representing a 22.6% increase as compared to 2002. Similarly, physical
generation was greater in 2002 than in 2001, rising from 2,256 GWh in 2001 to
2,467 GWh in 2002. Cachoeira Douradas power plant is hydroelectric, and
therefore its generation capabilities depend heavily on rainfall in the region
in which it operates. Hydrological conditions were favorable to Cachoeira
Douradas electricity generation during 2003, increasing the plants average
percentage of total installed capacity used from approximately 43% in 2002 to
53% in 2003. The following table sets forth the physical energy production and
purchases of Cachoeira Dourada. PHYSICAL GWh PRODUCTION AND PURCHASES IN BRAZIL Year ended December 31,2001

    Energy production plus energy purchases may exceed electricity sales due
to energy losses and own consumption. Cachoeira Dourada has a long-term take-or-pay contract, which was executed
in September 1997 when Endesa-Chile acquired the concession of Cachoeira
Dourada with Companhia Elétrica de Estado de Goiás S.A.(CELG), the regional
state-owned distribution company. The contract has a term of 15 years. During
the first five years, CELG was obliged to purchase all of the electricity
produced by Cachoeira Dourada. That amount was to be reduced by 10% a year
beginning in the sixth year. As a result, physical sales to CELG declined 10%
in 2003 as compared to 2002. The electricity generated monthly in excess of
Cachoeira Douradas contractual commitment to CELG is sold to third parties,
including the pool market. This contract is currently in dispute, as is
explained below. Electricity demand in Brazil increased 6.6% during 2003 and 5.2% during
2002 after decreasing in 2001 as a consequence of the government rationing
program imposed which limited the amount of electricity consumers could
utilize. The distribution of physical sales for Cachoeira Dourada, in terms of
customer segment, is shown in the following table: 56

 Despite this increase in Physical sales, operating income in Brazil was
Ch$3,657 million during 2003, 79% less than the Ch$17,151 million of 2002. The
weaker operating income of Cachoeira Dourada is due to a contractual dispute
with the its most important customer, CELG. Cachoeira Douradas contractual
agreement with CELG, which has been in place since Endesa-Chile was granted the
concession of the power plant in 1997, has been subject to dispute in the
Brazilian courts. In February 2003, CELG suspended payments to Cachoeira in
order to buy electricity in the pool market, where prices at the time were
lower than the contract price. CELG did not reinstate payments until a
provisional court order, issued in July 2003, determined that it should
commence paying at least partial past due invoices. CELG is currently making
payments, but they have been based on a lower energy price and quantity than
provided for in the contract. Consequently, as a conservative accounting
measure, Cachoeira Dourada registered from July to December 2003 and also from
January to May 2004, only partial monthly billings to CELG. On June 16, 2004
the provisional court order issued in July 2003 was revoked, obliging CELG to
pay 100% of the contract. For more information, please refer to Item 3. Risk
FactorsRisk Factors relating to BrazilLower energy prices in Brazil have
resulted in breaches of contracts by the customers of our subsidiaries and
equity affiliates, which may impact the amount of dividends and distributions
we receive from these investments. The operations of the other businesses in which Endesa-Chile participates
in Brazil are included in the income statement as non-operational, considering
that they are developed by a related and not subsidiary company in Brazil,
CIEN. CIEN owns, operates and commercializes the Brazilian side of two
electricity transmission interconnection lines joining the Argentine and
Brazilian grid systems. The Argentine side of the interconnection lines, as
detailed in Business Overview-Operations in Argentina, is owned by CTM and
TESA. CIEN has executed four energy sales agreements to sell energy in Brazil
with the following customers: Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A. (FURNAS);
Centrais Geradoras do Sul do Brasil S.A.(GERASUL); Companhia Paranaense de
Energia  COPEL(Copel) and Companhia de Electricidade do Río de Janeiro
(Cerj). The contracts are at fixed reales-denominated prices, indexed in part
to the dollar. The contracts with GERASUL and FURNAS are not take or pay as
to the amount of energy to be purchased, but do require the supply of 1,000 MW
of capacity at all times. Similarly, in order to satisfy its commitments with
Brazilian customers, CIEN maintains contracts with Argentine generators,
including Endesa-Chiles subsidiary in Argentina, Costanera. From January 2003 until August 2003, Copel suspended its payments of the
energy and capacity contracts with CIEN. Payments resumed in August 2003, when
an agreement was reached that modified the terms of the original contract and
provided that CIEN receive payment of the past due invoices. Pursuant to the
modified agreement, CIENs 800 MW capacity commitment with Copel was reduced in
half, although the related unit price was increased. The release of CIENs
capacity commitment by Copel has allowed CIEN the flexibility to look at market
opportunities. Electricity Generation in Brazil  Industry Structure and Regulatory Framework Brazils electricity industry is organized into one large interconnected
electricity system, which is known as the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the
Brazilian SIN), which is comprised of electricity companies in the southern,
southeast, central-western, northeast and parts of the northern regions of
Brazil, and several other small, isolated systems. 57

Generation, transmission, distribution and supply activities are legally
separated in Brazil. Non-regulated customers in Brazil are currently those
customers who demand 3,000 kW or more annually, though this threshold is under
discussion. Under the current regulatory structure, the electricity industry in Brazil
is comprehensively regulated by the União (Union), acting through the Ministry
of Mines and Energy, which has exclusive authority over the electricity sector
through its concessionary and regulatory powers. Regulatory policy for the
sector is implemented by the Agéncia Nacional de Energia Elétrica (National
Energy Agency)or ANEEL. ANEEL is responsible on behalf of União for, among
other things: (1) granting and supervising concessions on behalf of the União
for electricity generation, transmission, trading and distribution, including
approval of applications for the setting of tariff rates; (2) supervising and
auditing the concessionaire companies; (3) issuing regulations for the
electricity sector; (4) planning, coordinating and executing studies on water
resources and the concession of new hydroelectric facilities and definition of
optimal use of water resources; (5) ?granting decisions in order to solve, as
an administrative matter, the differences among concessionaires, independent
producers, consumers and other industry participants; (6)? establishing the
criteria to calculate transmission prices; (7)? imposing contractual and
regulatory penalties; or (8)? terminating a concession, in those cases
contemplated in the law and/or a concession agreement. In addition, Eletrobrás, the federally-owned electricity utility company,
is charged with establishing general policy with respect to the electricity
sector and with coordinating its planning, financing and operations. Planning
functions are executed by two executive committees coordinated by Eletrobrás,
the Grupo Coordenador de Planejamento dos Sistemas(the GCPS) and Grupo
Coordenador de Operaçóes Interligadas(the GCOI), which include
representatives of each of the major concessionaires. GCPS coordinates the
expansion of the countrys electricity systems and GCOI coordinates their
operation. As of March 1999, pursuant to the terms of Law No. 9,648/98, the GCOIs
coordination and supervisory role over the generation and transmission of
energy in the interconnected systems has been transferred to the Operador
Nacional do Sistema Elétrico, or the ONS, which is a nonprofit private entity
in which the concession holders and the unregulated consumers participate as
members with voting rights and the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the board
of consumers participate as members with no voting rights. The ONS is
responsible for the coordination and supervision of the generation and
transmission of energy in the interconnected systems. Law No. 8,631, effective since 1993, fundamentally changed the regulatory
structure governing electricity rates in Brazil. The new system abolished
utilities guaranteed annual real rate of return (Guaranteed Return) and the
system of uniform electricity rates throughout the country. The reforms called
for automatic inflation tariff adjustments according to a complex multivariable
parametric formula. Law No. 8,631 established that electricity tariffs were
expected to reflect operating costs of each company plus a certain return on
capital, which is not a pre-defined return, but instead a financial/economic
equilibrium. In December 1994, the Brazilian government introduced the Real Plan.
The Real Plan, specifically in the electricity industry, superseded previous
rate setting laws. Under the Real Plan, rate increases for public utilities
due to inflation are no longer granted automatically. In an attempt to curtail
inflation, the Real Plan prohibited price adjustments for periods of less
than one year in any and all contracts. Under the Real Plan prices are
reviewed and corrected on an annual basis. Deregulation Brazils concessions regulations were replaced by two statutes enacted in
1995: Law No. 8,987 of February 13, 1995 (the Concessions Law) and Law No.
9,074 of July 7, 1995 (the Power Sector Law). The Congressional Law and the
Power Sector Law gave rise to substantial changes in both the regulations for
public service concessions and the rule for renewal and approval of
concessions. The objectives of the new laws include the injection of
competition into what had been a government monopoly, the infusion of private
capital into the sector, the creation of incentives to complete projects on
which work was suspended or delayed due to financial difficulties, and the
laying of the groundwork for privatizations in the sector. 58

##### Table of Contents



The Power Sector Law also introduced the concept of the independent power
producer, or IPP, as a further factor in opening up the electricity sector to
private investment. The Power Sector Law also provides for the formation of
consortia to generate power for public utilities, for use by consortium
members, for independent power production or for any one or more of these, in
each case governed by applicable rules. Self-producers (producers who generate
power primarily for their own use) may (i) contribute or exchange energy with
other self-producers within a consortium, (ii) sell excess energy to the local
distribution concessionaire or (iii) exchange energy with the local
distribution concessionaire to allow for consumption by industrial plants owned
by the self-producer located somewhere other than in the area of generation. Decree No. 2,003 of 1996 sets forth the regulatory framework for IPPs and
self-producers. Pursuant to the decree, the development of hydroelectric power
plants by an IPP or a self-producer requires a concession (awarded following a
bidding process) only when the project will generate power in excess of 1 MW in
the case of an IPP and 10 MW in the case of a self-producer. In all other
cases, including development of thermoelectric plants, the IPP or self-producer
is only required to obtain authorization from, or to register with, ANEEL.
Decree No. 2,003 also provides that concessions and authorizations granted
under the decree have terms of 35 and 30 years, respectively, with the
possibility of extensions for periods equal to the initial terms. As part of the former federal governments attempt to abolish the
monopolies enjoyed by most power companies, the Concessions Law also provides
that, upon receiving a concession, IPPs, self-producers, suppliers and
consumers will be permitted access to the distribution and transmission systems
of all concessionaires, provided that the concessionaires are reimbursed for
their related costs. The basis on which such costs will be reimbursed has been
determined by the ANEEL. In addition to the deregulation and competition introduced by the
Concessions Law, the power industry was reviewed by the Cardoso administration
and subjected to additional significant changes, including but not limited to,
restructuring and privatization of assets owned by the Federal Government, with
the intention to create a more competitive electricity industry. The Cardoso federal government requested recommendations from independent
consultants for a restructuring regime in anticipation of the privatization of
the Brazilian electricity sector. Such recommendations were contemplated by Law
No. 9648/98 whereby the federal government has determined the creation of a
Wholesale Energy Market formed by the generation and distribution companies.
The price offered at the Wholesale Energy Market will be formed according to
market conditions. According to this model, the companies will have a defined
contracted capacity until 2003 when such capacity starts to be reduced annually
at the rate of 25%. The first bundle of energy was liberalized in January 1,
2003, previously having been auctioned among generators in September 2002. The
auction had little success, with only 33% of the energy offered successfully
auctioned. The lack of interest was due in part to the decline in growth
expectations for energy demand in Brazil and in part to consumption pattern
changes after rationing, whereby consumers continue to save energy as they were
legally required to do during the rationing period. Former President Cardoso announced a significant restructuring of the
Brazilian power industry. According to Law No. 10,433, dated as April 24,
2002, the Wholesale Energy Market structure changed to be closely regulated and
monitored by ANEEL. As a result of Law No. 10,433, ANEEL will be responsible
for setting Wholesale Energy Market governance rules. Under the former regime,
such rules were primarily established by the market players, subject only to
ANEELs ratification. This restructuring seeks to reorganize the electricity
system model to allow for continued external investment. On April 26, 2002, former President Cardoso issued another relevant rule
to the sector, the Law No. 10,438, with the objective of expanding the
emergency energy offer, increasing the alternative energy sources and producing
modifications of some important rules to the electricity sector. In April 2002, the enactment of Law 10,438 determined the payment of
compensation to distribution and generation companies for their loss of
revenues that occurred between June 2001 and February 2002 during the rationing
in Brazil. The General Agreement Law of the Electricity Sector granted
extraordinary tariff setting (0% for low-income residential customers; 2.9% for
other residential, rural and public lighting customers; and 7.9% for the rest)
for the period necessary to cover the losses of each company as determined by
ANEEL. 59

The law also established that federal generators will have to sell at
least 50% of their spare energy (after contracts) through public auctions, and
that the remaining balance of their spare energy would be sold to the Mercado
Atacadista de Energiaor the MAE, the self-regulating wholesale electricity
market. Law 10,438 also established a new criterion for the reclassifying of
low-income residential customers and the goals for the energy supply expansion
program. The eventual higher cost resulting from the application of the new
reclassification criteria will be financed by funds originated from the federal
public energy auctions and the RGR account, as a tariff subsidy, without
affecting distribution companies. The financing of the energy supply expansion
program, not taken into account in the ordinary tariff revision, will be
provided by the government and other sources of financing with the recognition
that the economic financial equilibrium of the companies cannot be altered. In addition, Law 10,438 creates incentives for alternative energy sources
which will be paid by all electricity customers, in proportion to their
consumption levels. Law 10,438 also establishes that potential unregulated customers that do
not exercise their option for unregulated tariffs will have to substitute their
energy supply contracts for equivalent energy supply contracts, right of
connection contracts and usage of the transmission system contracts. Auction Flexibility and Initial Contract Modification. As a result of Law
10,438, the federal generators can sell their energy through modifications in
the initial contracts, exclusive auctions to final consumers and energy
auctions carried out by distribution companies. Low Income Customer Reclassification Compensation. The tariff benefit
granted by Law 10,438will be financed with funds originated by the additional
revenues obtained by federal generators from selling their publicly auctioned
energy contracts and funds from the RGR account. MAE Settlement Resolution No. 763 of 2002 provides that 50% of the values resulting for
the months between September 2000 and September 2002 to be settled in a period
of 30 days, and the remaining 50% to be settled after the auditing takes place.
The months of October, November and December of 2002 will be settled in the
same sequence. The settlements for January 2003 and the following months will
take place subsequent to the constitution of guarantees described below under
"Minimum Contract Level Rule. Normative Value Changes (pass-through rule) On May 2002, ANEEL enacted Resolution No. 248 which changed the
pass-through rule of energy purchase prices to final consumers, establishing a
value equal to 100% of the normative value as the pass-through limit. These
changes do not affect the Groups interests, as the same resolution excludes
previous signed contracts from being affected. Minimum Contract Level Rule Resolution No. 511 of 2002 establishes that at least 85% of the energy
sold by the MAE participants to final consumers must be guaranteed by energy
assured from generation facilities or by energy supply contracts with at least
two years of duration in any sub-market and, at least 10% must be guaranteed
by energy assured from generation facilities or by bilateral contracts of any
duration in any sub-market, totaling 95% of the energy to be sold. Intercompany Contracts Approval The contracts between companies of the Group, Cerj-CIEN and Coelce-CIEN
have been approved by ANEEL. Structure of the New Electricity Sector As expected, the power industry was reviewed by Luiz Inácio Lula da
Silva  ́s new administration and it was subject to significant changes. On March
16, 2004, Law No. 10,848, legislation which reformed the Brazilian 60

##### Table of Contents



electricity sector, was enacted. The law will be implemented by means of
decrees and resolutions that will regulate the Brazilian electricity market and
will determine, among other things, how inherent risks will be distributed
among the different market participants (e.g. hydrological risk, market
variation and account receivables). The new electricity sector will establish a larger participation of the
Brazilian Government in the electricity sector, since the new law was created
(i) to regulate the purchase and sale of energy, (ii) to increase the
participation of the Federal Government in previously independent institutions
(for example, Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétricos, or ONS); and (iii) to
reduce ANEEL  ́s role in regulating the electric sector, indicating that ANEEL
would be simply a management and controlling institution. The new electricity
sector maintains the State role as an investor and interrupts the privatization
of the public corporations. The first major change of the new electricity sector is the institution of
a regulated contracting market, which will be more limiting than the existing
free contracting market. In the regulated contracting market electricity
supply prices will be established through a bidding process. Only distributors
and energy traders will be allowed to act in the regulating contracting market.
By contrast, in the free contracting market, power supply prices were freely
negotiated and generators negotiated directly with the free consumers and
energy traders. As a result of the regulated contracting market, the contracts
of CIEN and Cachoeira Dourada may be affected, especially those with CIEN,
since our contract prices are favorable and it will likely be difficult for
CIEN to negotiate prices and freely enter into contracts with customers. The second major change in the electricity sector is the separation of the
bidding process for existent power and new project power".Power plants
that were in existence prior to 2000 are considered existent power and those
that were developed after 2000 are considered new project power. Cachoeira
Dourada is considered an existent power and CIEN is considered a new project
power. The government believes that existing power plants are able to provide
power at more competitive prices, and therefore it should give priority in the
bidding process to power generated by new project power companies. Under the
new electricity sector, this priority will be in the form of more favorable
contractual terms. For example, a generator considered a new project power is
guaranteed a power purchase agreement with a twenty-year term if it wins the
bidding process, while an existent power is not necessarily even guaranteed
participation in the bidding process. Currently, the energy market in Brazil
is has an excess supply of energy and therefore existent power generators are
adversely affected by the priority given to the new project power. The third important change in the electricity framework is the creation of
new sector agents, like Empresa de Pesquisa Energética(Power Research
Company), or EPE, bound to Ministry of Mines and Energy. EPE will have the
objective of researching the Brazilian Power Sector Planning. Other new sector
agents will be the Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica(Power
Commercialization Chamber), or CCEE, which will be the MAEs substitute in
contract administration and monitoring contractual warranties; and Comitê de
Monitoramento do Setor Elétrico(Monitoring Committee of the Electricity
Sector) or CMSE, which will monitor and evaluate the safety and security in the
energy supply industry. The fourth important change in the electricity sector will be the
separation of the sector activities by forbidding distribution companies from
performing generation and transmission activities. Finally, the contracts in
effect at the time of the enactment of the law will be respected, but
amendments changing term, price and quantities to the mentioned contracts is
forbidden. In terms of minimum contract levels, Resolution No. 511 of 2002,
established during the Cardoso administration which determined that at least
85% of the energy sold by the MAE participants to final consumers must be
guaranteed by energy assured from generation facilities or by energy supply
contracts with at least two years of duration in any sub-market and, at least
10% of the energy consumed by free consumers must be guaranteed by energy
assured from generation facilities or by bilateral contracts of any duration in
any sub-market totaling 95% of the energy to be sold, was modified by
Resolution No. 91 of 2003. The new limits require that at least 95% of the
contract must be guaranteed from generation facilties for periods over six
months. With the enactment of law No 10,848 under Lulas administration, the
limits have been increased and require that the demand from the distribution
companies be contracted completely. 61

Environmental Regulation The Brazilian Constitution gives both the federal government and state
governments power to enact laws designed to protect the environment and to
issue regulations under such laws. While the federal government has the power
to promulgate environmental regulations, state governments have the power to
enact more stringent environmental regulations. Most of the environmental
regulations in Brazil are thus at the state and local level rather than at the
level of the federal government. In Brazil, hydroelectric generation companies are required to obtain the
use of water concessions and environmental approvals, and thermal electric
generation, transmission and distribution companies are required to obtain
environmental approvals from ANEEL and the environmental regulatory
authorities. Recent Changes in the Tax Law Recent tax changes may affect results of Brazilian operations. On December
29, 2003 the Federal Government issued the Law No. 10.833/03, which establishes
the non-cumulative COFINS, determining a tax credit right for some companies
and increasing the COFINSs rate from 3% to 7.6%. Additionally, according to
this law, the revenues arising from long-term agreements executed before
October 31, 2003 will not be impacted by this new legal framework and will
remain subject to the old one (without tax credit right and with the 3%
COFINS  ́s rate). Cachoeira Dourada is not affected by this new tax because it
is not subject to this tax regime. The majority of CIENs contracts are
long-term agreements signed before October 31, 2003 and will consequently not
be impacted by the new tax. Therefore, we believe this new law will not
strongly affect Endesa-Chiles Brazilian subsidiary and related companies. Another relevant change in tax legislation was the Provisional Measure
164/04, which creates a tax to be applied to imports of movable assets, the
Imports PIS/COFINS, effective as of May 2004. This new rule follows the
general terms and conditions of Law No. 10.833/03 and also foresees the
possibility of a tax credit. The tax rate for Imports PIS/COFINS is 9.25%
(7.6% of COFINS and 1.65% of PIS). As of the date of this annual report, we
have not finished a complete analysis of the impact of this new rule, if
applicable, on our Brazilian operations. Cachoeira Dourada is not involved in
the import of goods and services and therefore is not subject to this tax
regime. However, CIENs main activity is the import of electricity from
Argentina and therefore it could be affected by this new legislation. C. Organizational structure. The following information sets out a brief description of Endesa-Chiles
significant subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003. Central Costanera S.A. (Costanera) Costanera is an electricity generation company publicly traded in

D. Property, Plant and Equipment Description of Property and Insurance Endesa-Chiles main properties in Chile are its nineteen electricity
generation facilities (detailed in Business Overview  Operations in Chile),
in addition to its 27,793 square meter headquarters buildings in Santiago. A substantial portion of Endesa-Chiles cash flow and net income is
derived from the sale of electricity produced by its electricity generation
facilities. Significant damage to one or more of Endesa-Chiles main
electricity generation facilities or interruption in the production of
electricity, whether as a result of an earthquake, flood, volcanic activity or
other cause, would have a material adverse effect on Endesa-Chiles operations.
Endesa-Chile insures all of its electricity generation facilities against
damage due to earthquakes, fires, floods and other similar occurrences and from
damage due to third-party actions, based on the appraised value of the
facilities as determined from time to time by an independent appraiser. Based
on geological, hydrological and engineering studies, however, Endesa-Chiles
management believes that the risk of such an event is remote. Claims under
Endesa-Chiles insurance policies are subject to customary deductibles and
other conditions. Endesa-Chile also maintains business interruption insurance
providing for coverage for failure of any of its facilities for a period of up
to 18 months, commencing after the deductible period. However, there can be no
assurance that such insurance proceeds would be available on a timely basis or
would be sufficient to fully compensate for any losses. Endesa-Chile also has investments in generating companies in Argentina,
Brazil, Colombia and Peru, which involve a total of 23 generation power plants
(detailed in Business Overview). The insurance coverage taken abroad is
approved by the management of each affiliate, taking into account the quality
of the insurance companies and the needs, conditions and risk evaluations of
each generating facility, and are based on general corporate guidelines given
by Endesa-Chile. All insurance policies are purchased from reputable international
insurers. The Company continuously monitors the insurance industry so that it
can obtain the best coverage and premiums available on the market. The following table identifies the power plants that Endesa-Chile is
currently operating and their basic characteristics: Country/Company

    Reservoir and pass-through refer to a hydroelectric plant that uses a dam
or a river, respectively, to move the turbines which generate electricity.Steam refers to the technology of a thermal power plant that uses either
natural gas, coal, diesel or fuel oil to produce steam which moves the
turbines to generate the electricity.Gas Turbine (TG) or Open Cycle refers to the technology of a thermal power
plant that uses either diesel or natural gas to produce gas that moves the
turbines to generate the electricity.Combined Cycle refers to the technology of a thermal power plant that uses
either natural gas, diesel oil or fuel oil to generate gas that moves the
turbines to generate electricity then recuperates the gas that escapes from
that process to generate steam to move another turbine. Environmental Issues The electricity industry is subject to extensive environmental regulations
that require environmental impact studies in order to obtain approval for
future projects. Endesa-Chiles subsidiaries have always included the
environmental regulations of the various jurisdictions in which they operate
when planning their investment projects. In 2002, some of Endesa Chiles main subsidiaries, including San Isidro,
the Tal Tal thermal plant and Pangue, obtained the ISO 14001 certifications for
their Environmental Management System. Pangue is the first hydroelectric plant
to obtain such a certification in Chile. Our associated company, GasAtacama
Generación 69

Limitada, is the first generator on the SING to obtain its ISO 14001
certification. By December 2002, a total of 43% of Endesa-Chiles total power
plant assets had reached certification under the ISO 14001 standard. By
December 2003 this percentage had reached 63%. However, the task is still not
finished. The Companys plans in this area are ambitious and are expected to
continue advancing at the same pace as until now. Investment Projects Ralco Project The Ralco Project in Chile is located in the Upper Bío-Bío region,
approximately 120 km south-east of the town of Los Angeles and some 30 km
upstream from the Pangue plant. This project involves the building of a
hydroelectric plant with a nominal capacity of 570 MW, representing a 15%
addition to the Companys installed capacity in Chile, is expected to generate
3,100 GWh annually to the SIC, which will contribute to satisfy the needs of
the growing electricity demand in the country. By March 31, 2004, the project
had reached 98% of advancement and is expected to become operational during the
second semester of 2004. The total investment in the project accumulated up to December 31, 2003
and included in the Companys balance sheet at December 31, 2003 is Ch$383.7
billion. The remaining amount of investment required to complete the project
is expected to reach approximately Ch$58.7 billion during 2004. This project
has been mainly financed with the companys cash flow. Endesa-Chile has complied with all the national and international
environmental issues related to the construction of Ralco. Compliance with the
environmental commitments made by Endesa-Chile has been certified in the audit
reports to environmental authorities concerning both ecological aspects and
social and cultural matters. The Company has reached a complete agreement with the last four Pehuenche
owners and have been included in the projects relocation plan. The Ayin Mapu
and El Barco sites to which families were relocated are indigenous communities
under the law. The Continuity Assistance Plan, which is an important component
of the Ralco Project, is fully in force, with various programs to attract
participation by the relocated families. The plans and programs that have been
carried out have largely benefited the families that live or could be affected
by the project with land, actual payments, and other benefits such as jobs,
education, agricultural machinery, as was originally considered in the project.
For more information, please see Item 8. Legal ProceedingsRalco Project. Major Encumbrances Pehuenche has equipment as guarantee for the Banco Estado de Chileloan
which was used to finance the acquisition of equipment for the Curillinque
Power Plant. The value of the guarantee of this loan, as of December 2003, was
Ch$9.9 billion of the acquired equipment. Costanera has a loan with Mitsubishi which was used to invest in
Costaneras power plant capacity. The value of the fixed assets pledged as
guarantee, on December 31, 2003, was Ch$12.6 billion. Pangue executed the following liens and mortgages in August 18, 1993: (i)
first mortgage on the water rights and the real estate where the power plant is
located; (ii) first lien, under Law No 18,112, on the electric lines, machinery
and equipment of the power plant; and (iii) prohibition to sell, transfer or
encumber such assets, including the definitive concession to establish the
Pangue power plant. The value of the pledged equipment was Ch$86.2 billion on
December 31, 2003. The lenders of the mortgage loan are Skandinaviska Enskilda
Banken, Export Development Corporation, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau and
Eksportfinans. San Isidro executed a lien in connection with the equipment provided by
Mitsubishi Corporation, whose value on December 31, 2003 was Ch$80.9 billion. 70

Chilean GAAP, which differ in some important respects from U.S. GAAP. See Note
34 to our audited consolidated financial statements, included in Item 18
herein. Introduction We own and operate electricity generation companies in Chile, Argentina,
Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Substantially all of our revenues, income and cash
flow comes from our subsidiaries and equity affiliates operations in these
five countries. Factors such as hydrological conditions, extraordinary actions by
government authorities, regulatory developments and economic conditions in each
country in which we operate are important in determining our financial results.
In addition, our reported results of operations and financial condition are
significantly affected by variations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar
and the Chilean peso and other currencies of the countries in which we operate.
Such exchange rate variations have a significant non-cash effect due to the
implementation of Chilean GAAPs Technical Bulletin No. 64, Accounting for
Permanent Foreign Investments in connection with the consolidation of the
results of our companies outside of Chile. Lastly, our other critical
accounting policies also have a significant effect on our consolidated results
of operations. Several of the factors described above have been particularly significant
in recent years, and some of these factors are expected to continue to
materially influence our financial results in the future. The most significant
factors are:  
    
    Hydrological conditions. A substantial portion of our generation
business is dependent upon the hydrological conditions prevailing in
the countries where we operate. Our thermal generators, which are
fueled with natural gas, coal or diesel, are dispatched to cover peaks
in energy demand and any shortfalls of our hydroelectric plants because
of insufficient water resources. Under those conditions, the use of
fuels for the generation of electricity results in higher costs of
operations that we would not have to incur otherwise. Accordingly, our
results of operation are adversely affected by low rainfall. In
addition, adverse hydrological conditions have led governments to take
affirmative steps to regulate the electricity business. For additional
information regarding the effects of hydrological conditions on our
results of operations, please see Item 4. Information on the Company
Introduction Electricity Generation Hydrological conditions and
rationing decree.
    
    Regulatory developments. The regulatory structure governing the
tariffs and other aspects of our generation business has a material
effect in our results of operations. Regulators in the countries where
we operate calculate tariffs taking into consideration principally the
costs of fuels, level of reservoirs, exchange rate, future investments
in installed capacity and growth in demand, all of which is intended to
reflect investment and operating costs incurred by generation companies
and is meant to allow such companies to earn a regulated level of
return on their investments. For additional information relating to
Chilean regulations governing our business and for a discussion of the
regulatory frameworks in the countries in which we operate, please see
Item 4. Information on the Company.
    
    Economic conditions. Macroeconomic conditions in the countries in
which we operate have a significant effect on our results of
operations. For example, when a country experiences sustained economic
growth, consumption of electricity by industrial and individual
consumers of electricity increases. Other macroeconomic factors such as
a devaluation of the local currency in the countries in which we
operate may have a negative impact in our results of operations because
while most of our revenues are 71

denominated in the currency of the countries in which we operate, our
financing and significant other costs such as depreciation are
denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, devaluation of local
currencies against the dollar shrinks our operating margins and increases
the cost of and capital expenditure plans.
    
    Extraordinary actions by government authorities. Our operations
are materially affected by extraordinary actions taken by the
governments of the countries in which we operate. In the past few years
the results of operations of our Argentine, Brazilian and Colombian
subsidiaries were affected by actions taken by the governments of those
countries. The following are some examples:  
    
    In Argentina, electricity tariffs historically were expressed
in U.S. dollars at an exchange of Ar$1 to US$1. However, following
a devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar from
Ar$1.00 per US$1.00 to Ar$3.37 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2002,
the Argentine government converted electricity tariffs to Argentine
pesos at the old exchange rate of Ar$1 to US$1. As a result of this
devaluation and the tariff conversion rate dictated by the Argentine
government, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our Argentine revenues
declined significantly.
    
    As a consequence of a severe drought in Brazil, during 2001
and the first quarter of 2002, the Brazilian government imposed
restrictions limiting the consumption of electricity in certain
provinces where our subsidiary Cachoeira Dourada operates. As a
result of these restrictions on electricity consumption, Cachoeira
Dourada experienced a reduction in its revenues.
    
    In 2002, the Colombian government imposed an extraordinary
tax for Colombias antiterrorist campaign. Technical Bulletin No. 64 Our consolidation of the results of our non-Chilean subsidiaries is
governed by Technical Bulletin No. 64. Technical Bulletin No. 64 establishes a
mechanism to consolidate the financial results of a non-Chilean company
prepared in local GAAP and denominated in local currency into the financial
results of its Chilean parent which are prepared in Chilean GAAP and
denominated in Chilean pesos. The implementation of Technical Bulletin No. 64
affects the reporting of our results of operations. In particular, exchange
rate variations, if significant, can materially affect the amounts of operating
revenues and expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements in
Chilean GAAP as well as generate material non-operating gains and losses. Technical Bulletin No. 64Conversion Effect. Technical Bulletin No. 64
requires Endesa-Chile to convert the denomination of the financial statements
of its non-Chilean subsidiaries from local currency to U.S. dollars and to
restate such financial statements into Chilean GAAP after such conversion,
including by converting such U.S. dollar amounts into Chilean pesos. We refer
to the gain or loss resulting of this balance sheet conversion as the
conversion effect. In order to convert monetary assets and liabilities of
its non-Chilean subsidiaries to U.S. dollars, Endesa-Chile must use the U.S.
dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at period-end. In order to
convert Endesa-Chiles equity interests in such subsidiaries as well as such
subsidiaries non-monetary assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars, Endesa-Chile
must use the U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate applicable at the time
when such equity interests or non-monetary assets or liabilities were acquired
or incurred. In addition, Technical Bulletin No. 64 requires income and
expense accounts (except for the expenses incurred in connection with
depreciation and amortization) of foreign subsidiaries to be converted into to
U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate of the month during which such
results or expenses were recorded. All amounts converted from local currency
to U.S. dollars are then converted from U.S. dollars to Chilean pesos at the
exchange rate applicable at the end of the reporting period. Technical
Bulletin No. 64 may have the effect of excluding from our reported financial
condition the effect on non-monetary assets of devaluation in the countries in
which our subsidiaries and investments are located. For example, the carrying
value of our Argentine and Brazilian non-monetary assets increased in 2002
notwithstanding the devaluation of Argentine peso and Brazilian real because
these assets are carried at historical U.S. dollar value and the U.S. dollar
appreciated against the Chilean peso in 2002. The currency conversion from local currencies to U.S. dollars can have
different effects depending on a foreign subsidiarys structure of monetary and
non-monetary assets and liabilities. For example, when a foreign subsidiary
has more monetary assets than monetary liabilities, a devaluation of the
applicable local currency against the U.S. 72

dollar may result in a loss due to the effects of the currency conversion.
On the other hand, the appreciation of the applicable local currency results
in a gain. The reverse is also true for foreign subsidiaries with more
monetary liabilities than monetary assets, where a devaluation of the
applicable local currency against the U.S. dollar may result in a gain, whereas
an appreciation may result in a loss. The recent fluctuations of the exchange
rates between the currencies of the countries where we operate and the U.S.
dollar, as well as in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S.
dollar, have materially affected the comparability of our results of operations
during the periods discussed below because of this conversion effect. Technical Bulletin No. 64Equity Hedge. Technical Bulletin No. 64 allows
U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of
equity in non-Chilean subsidiaries located in unstable countries, to be hedged
by the investing company against and limited to the book-value of such equity
investments. For purposes of Technical Bulletin No. 64 all the countries where
we have investments  Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru  are considered
unstable countries. This hedge results in the elimination of the effects of
exchange rate variations on the debt incurred in connection with such
investments. If the book-value of an equity investment is lower than the U.S.
dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with its acquisition, the
results of the exchange rate fluctuations affecting the amount of U.S. dollar
denominated debt that is not hedged are included in determining net income. On
the other hand, if the book-value of an equity investment is higher than the
U.S. dollar denominated debt incurred in connection with its acquisition, then
the results of the exchange rate fluctuations affecting the book-value of the
equity that is not hedged are recorded in cumulative translation adjustment in
a reserve account as part of shareholders equity reference to as cumulative
translation adjustment for U.S. GAAP purposes. U.S. GAAP Reconciliation Our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Chilean GAAP, which differs in some significant respects from
U.S. GAAP. You should read Note 34 to our audited Consolidated Financial
Statements for a description of the principal differences between Chilean GAAP
and U.S. GAAP and reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net income and total
shareholders equity. The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they
relate to the Company are (i) the elimination of the effects of a revaluation
of fixed assets, (ii) the elimination of complementary accounts in deferred
taxes, (iii) the effects on goodwill and negative goodwill from the application
of fair value purchase accounting, (iv) the effects of eliminating capitalized
exchange rate differences and general and administrative expenses capitalized
in fixed assets, (v) the effects of recording a liability related to minimum
dividends payable, and (vi) the effects of accounting for derivatives at fair
value. The following table sets out the differences between consolidated net
income (loss) and Shareholders Equity as reported under Chilean GAAP and U.S.

 Argentine Peso to U.S. dollar Exchange Rate The financial statements of our Argentine subsidiaries are remeasured into
U.S. dollars for purposes of the preparation of our audited consolidated
financial statements, because under Chilean GAAP, in accordance with Technical
Bulletin No. 64, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate
in countries exposed to 73

##### Table of Contents



significant risks (unstable countries) and are not considered to be an
extension of the parent companys operations are required to be remeasured into
U.S. dollars. The accounting loss included in results of operations as a
consequence of the devaluation of the Argentine peso when so remeasured into
U.S. dollars was approximately US$20.9 million net of minority interest for the
year ended December 31, 2001 in historical dollars. The effect of remeasuring
the Argentine peso into U.S. dollars resulted in a net gain of approximately
US$2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and a net loss of US$0.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2003. At the date of issuance of the
audited consolidated financial statements of the years 2001 and 2002, there was
uncertainty regarding future changes that could occur in Argentina. As required
under Chilean GAAP, we assumed the Argentine monetary assets and liabilities
and revenues and expenses were translated at 1.70 Argentine pesos to the U.S.
dollar as of December 31, 2001, 3.37 Argentine pesos to the U.S. dollar as of
December 31, 2002 and at 2.96 Argentine pesos to the U.S. dollar as of December
31, 2003. This accounting estimate required us to make assumptions about future
events that were highly uncertain in 2001, because the future exchange rate of
Argentine pesos to U.S. dollars was uncertain, however the exchange rate has
since stabilized. Our investments in Argentina represent 13.58%, 12.49% and
12.77% of total assets as of December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, and 21.78%,
10.46% and 12.09% of total revenues and 12.80%, 3.64% and 9.55% of total
operating income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. Prior to 2002, the Argentine peso has been pegged to the U.S. dollar at a
rate of 1 Argentine peso to 1 U.S. dollar. In early December 2001, restrictions
were put in place that prohibited cash withdrawals above a certain amount and
foreign money transfers, with certain limited exceptions. While the legal
exchange rate remained at 1 Argentine peso to 1 U.S. dollar, financial
institutions were allowed to conduct only limited activity due to these
controls, and currency exchange activity was effectively halted except for
personal transactions in small amounts. In January 2002, the Argentine government announced its intent to create a
dual currency system with an official fixed exchange rate of 1.4 pesos to 1
U.S. dollar for import, and export transactions and a free floating exchange
rate for other transactions. On January 11, 2002, the exchange rate market
holiday ended and closing new free floating exchange rates ranged from 1.6 to
1.7 Argentine pesos to 1 U.S. dollar. On February 3, 2002, the Argentine
government issued a decree that (1) eliminated the fixed exchange rate; (2)
established one free floating exchange rate for the Argentine peso; and (3)
required U.S. dollar-denominated obligations be converted to peso-denominated
obligations using mandated conversion rates, depending on the type of
obligation. The market for the floating exchange rate opened on February 11,
2002 and was maintained open for the year 2003. Revenue Recognition In accordance with Chilean GAAP, energy supplied and unbilled at each
year-end is valued at the selling price using the current rates and has been
included in revenue from operations. The unbilled amount is presented in
current assets as trade receivables as collection of these amounts is
relatively assured and the corresponding cost of energy purchased or produced
is included in cost of operations. The Company recognizes revenue generated
from engineering and inspection services and highway tolls at the time the
related services are provided. Critical Accounting Policies Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of
significant judgments and uncertainties, which would potentially result in
materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We
believe that our critical accounting policies in the preparation of our Chilean
GAAP financial statements are limited to those described below. It should be
noted that in many cases, Chilean GAAP specifically dictates the accounting
treatment of a particular transaction, with no need for managements judgment
in their application. Additionally, significant differences can exist between
Chilean GAAP and US GAAP, as explained in US GAAP Reconciliation above.
There are also areas in which managements judgment in selecting available
alternatives would not produce materially different results. For a summary of
significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the
financial statements, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial
statements. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 74

Impairment of Long Lived Assets We assess the impairment of our long-lived assets to be held and used
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an
impairment review include the following:  
    
    significant underperformance relative to expected historical or
projected future operating results;
    
    significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or
the strategy for our overall business; and
    
    significant negative industry or economic trends. When we determine that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of
impairment, we evaluate the future cash flows to determine if we need to take
an impairment charge. If the sum of the expected future cash flows
(undiscounted) is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we recognize an
impairment loss. In order to estimate future cash flows, we must make
assumptions about future events that are highly uncertain at the time of
estimation. For example, we make assumptions and estimates about future
interest rates, exchange rates, electricity rate increases, and cost trends
such as taxes and plant repair and maintenance. The number of years included in
determining discounted cash flow, in our opinion, is estimable in the case of
the generating companies because the number is closely associated with the
useful lives of the plants and their equipment. These useful lives are readily
determinable based on historical experience and type of power generated. The
discount rates used in the analysis vary by country and fluctuate as economic
conditions in these countries vary; therefore the likelihood of change in
estimate in any given period is high. Adjustments to historical results based
on anticipated operating conditions are estimated in light of the current
competitive market in the countries in which we do business. These conditions
are estimated in light of the current competitive market in the countries in
which we do business. These condition change periodically, therefore, the
likelihood of a change in estimate in any given period is high. As a result,
the actual cash flows may materially differ from our estimate and we may be
required to make additional impairment charges. Impairment of Goodwill We assess the impairment of goodwill in a similar manner as long lived
assets. The measurement of the impairment loss is based on the recoverable
value of the investment which we generally determine using a discounted cash
flow approach and recent comparable transactions in the market. In order to
estimate recoverable value, we must make assumptions about future events that
are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. The results of this analysis
showed that the goodwill and related negative goodwill associated with
investments in Argentina and Brazil were impaired because estimated future
discounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover goodwill and negative
goodwill. During 2002, the Company recorded a net charge of Ch$62.8 billion to
write-off all amounts of goodwill and negative goodwill. At a consolidated
level this charge amounted to Ch$56.7 billion, net of minority interest. Income and Deferred Taxes In accordance with Chilean law, the Company and each of its subsidiaries
compute and pay tax on a separate basis. We estimate our actual current tax
exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing
treatment of items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes.
These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are
included within our consolidated balance sheet. As a transitional provision
under Chilean GAAP, we recorded a contra asset or liability offsetting the
effects of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to
January 1, 2000. Such contra asset or liability amounts must be amortized to
income over the estimated average reversal periods corresponding to the
underlying temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or liability
relates calculated using the tax rates in effect at the time of reversal. We
then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from
future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is unlikely,
we establish a valuation allowance. In order for us to estimate the realizable
value of deferred tax assets and the average reversal periods of contra assets
or liabilities, we must make assumptions about future events that are highly
uncertain at the time of estimation. For example, we make estimates of future
earnings, including estimates of future interest rates, exchange rates,
electricity rate increases, and cost trends such as taxes 75

and plant repair and maintenance. Revisions to the estimated realizable
value of deferred tax assets or estimated average reversal periods of contra
assets or liabilities could cause our provision for income taxes to vary
significantly from period to period. The net deferred tax liability was Ch$63.3
billion and Ch$33.1 billion as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Derivative Instruments The Company has commodity derivative, financial derivative, and embedded
derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair
value recognized in earnings under SFAS No. 133, as amended. In establishing
the fair value of such contracts management makes assumptions based on
available market data and pricing models, which may change from time to time. Calculation of fair value for commodity and embedded derivatives is done
with internal models that are based primarily on discounted future cash flows.
Inputs to such models include estimated forward prices of electricity and
natural gas, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation indices,
transmission costs, and others. Simulation techniques are used to forecast
electricity consumption levels for the countries in which the Company has
derivative instruments with optionality in quantities. These inputs become
more difficult to predict and the estimates are less precise, the further out
these estimates are made. As a result, fair values are highly dependent upon
the assumptions being used. The Company also adjusts fair value of certain
commodity derivatives to reflect risks related to the performance of
counterparties. The Companys Argentine generation entities have access to the Brazilian
energy market through an interconnection system between the two markets. The
Company has entered into a number of power purchase agreements on the
Argentinean side and power sales agreements on the Brazilian side to export
electricity from Argentina to Brazil. In order to calculate the fair values of
the electricity purchase and sale contracts related to this interconnection
business, Argentine electricity forward prices were used as a benchmark for all
contracts included in this portfolio. The Company considers the Argentine
prices to be the correct benchmark to calculate the fair value of the
interconnection contracts because the Company does not have concessions to sell
the Argentine generated energy in the Brazilian spot or forward market to any
parties other than those currently contracted and all the energy is being
sourced from Argentina. Therefore the Company views the interconnection as an
extension of the Argentine market. Such values are included in the
reconciliation to U.S. GAAP in Note 34 I (v) of the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company has assumed therefore that the Argentinean energy
forward curve is the only relevant benchmark for the whole portfolio, including
contracts on the Argentinean and Brazilian side of the interconnection.
Alternatively the Company could have assumed that the Brazilian energy forward
curve is the relevant benchmark for the Brazilian side of the portfolio under
certain circumstances. The impact of using Brazilian prices on the Companys
U.S. GAAP net income and shareholders equity is as follows: Net Income

    )
 The Companys financial derivative instruments are primarily short
duration foreign currency forward exchange contracts to purchase U.S. dollars
or Euros and sell UF and interest swaps and collars and cross-currency swaps.
The Company records these financial derivative contracts at fair value.
Estimates of fair values of financial instruments for which no quoted prices or
secondary market exists have been made using valuation techniques such as
forward pricing models, present value of estimated future cash flows, and other
modeling techniques. These estimates of fair value include assumptions made by
the Company about market variables that may change in the future. Changes in
assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimate of fair values
disclosed. The net asset related to financial derivative instruments was
Ch$23.8 billion and Ch$556.6 billion as of December 31, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. The Companys accounting policy for derivative instruments is discussed in
Note 34(k) of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. 76

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits Liabilities We have significant pension and post-retirement benefit plan liabilities,
which are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations
are key assumptions including discount rates and expected returns on plan
assets. We are required to consider current market conditions, including
changes in interest rates, in selecting these assumptions. Changes in the
related pension and post-retirement benefit liabilities, may occur in the
future due to changes resulting from fluctuations in our related headcount or
to changes in the assumptions. The net pension and post-retirement liability
was Ch$23.9 billion and Ch$24.7 billion as of December 31, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. Results of Operations for Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 Overview Our 2003 results, when compared to those of 2002, were mainly affected by
the following factors:  
    
    our operating income for the year ended December 31, 2003 amounted
to Ch$338.5 billion, a decrease of 3.2% from operating income of
Ch$349.7 billion in 2002. This decrease was mainly due to the
accounting effect under Technical Bulletin N° 64 of the appreciation of
the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a loss of
Ch$32.2 billion. If we eliminate the negative impact of the
appreciation of the Chilean peso during 2003, our operating income
would have increased Ch$38.3 billion We believe it is helpful to
eliminate the effects of the appreciation of the Chilean peso in order
to understand the underlying trend in our operating income. For a
reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP. See
Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP below. In
addition, operating income in Chile declined as a consequence of the
sale of assets of Canutillar and the sale and deconsolidation of
Infraestructura Dos Mil which had an aggregate negative effect of
approximately Ch$22.0 billion.
    
    our non-operating results amounted to a loss of Ch$179.0 billion in
2003 in comparison to a loss of Ch$316.6 billion in 2002. This
reduction in losses in 2003 principally resulted from the
non-recurrence of a write-off of goodwill in 2002 of Ch$108.1 billion
related to our investments in Argentina and Brazil which did not occur
again in 2003; and
    
    our amortization of negative goodwill decreased to Ch$15.6 billion
in 2003, compared to Ch$86.8 billion for 2002. This decrease is mainly
explained by the write-off of negative goodwill arising from our
investments in Argentina and Brazil in December 2002, which did not
occur again in 2003. Revenues from operations We derive a substantial portion of our consolidated revenues from the sale
of electricity in Chile. However, revenues from sales from countries other
than Chile accounted for 50.2% and 52.6% of our consolidated revenues in 2003
and 2002, respectively. Revenues from sales of electricity in Argentina
accounted for 12.1% of our consolidated revenues in 2003 as compared to 10.5%
in 2002. Revenues from sales of electricity in Colombia accounted for 22.6% in
2003 as compared to 24.0% in 2002 and revenues from sales of electricity in
Brazil accounted for 3.3% in 2003 as compared to 5.5% in 2002. In addition,
revenues from sales of electricity in Peru accounted for 12.1% in 2003 as
compared to 12.5% in 2002. In each of 2003 and 2002, other income accounted
for less than 5% of total consolidated revenues. 77

 Revenues from sales of electricity in Chile increased by 5.0% to Ch$429.1
billion in 2003 from Ch$408.7 billion in 2002. This increase was mainly due to
an increase in the average sales price of 3.1% to Ch$23.0 per kWh in 2003 from
Ch$22.3 per kWh in 2002 and an increase in volume terms of approximately 4.6%
in contractual sales offset in part by a decrease in spot sales volumes of
approximately 10.7%. Revenues from sales of electricity in Argentina increased by 12.2% to
Ch$111.3 billion in 2003, from Ch$99.1 billion in 2002. The increase in
revenues was primarily due to higher water levels in El Chocóns reservoir,
which allowed the company to increase physical energy sales by 25.7%, which
resulted in a Ch$13.7 billion increase in revenues, as well as a 9.7% increase
in physical energy sales at Costanera, which resulted in a Ch$16.5 billion
increase in revenues, from the second interconnection line with Brazil, which
operated throughout 2003, but only the last five months of 2002. These
positive factors were offset in part by the impact of the appreciation of the
Chilean peso against the dollar, which caused a decrease in revenues of Ch$18.0
billion. Revenues from sales of electricity in Colombia decreased by 8.4% to
Ch$208.4 billion in 2003 from Ch$227.5 billion in 2002. This was mainly due to
the impact of the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar,
which caused a decrease in revenues of Ch$41.6 billion. This decrease was
offset in part by an increase of 1.8% in physical energy sales, which resulted
in a Ch$21.2 billion increase in revenues, due to a 208.5% increase in non
regulated sales offset in part by a decrease of 37.5% in regulated and spot
physical energy sales. Revenues from sales of electricity in Brazil decreased by 40.7% to Ch$30.8
billion in 2003 from Ch$51.9 billion in 2002. This primarily reflected a
decline of 43.4% in the average price of electricity sold due to good
hydrological conditions in the region as well as the dispute between Cachoeira
Dourada and CELG (see Legal Proceedings in Item 8 of this Report), which
resulted in a loss of Ch$11.7 billion. Revenues were also adversely affected
by the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, which caused a
decrease in revenues of Ch$9.4 billion. These effects were offset in part by a
5% increase in physical sales. Revenues from sales of electricity in Peru decreased by 6.0% to Ch$110.9
billion in 2003 from Ch$118.0 billion in 2002, due to the appreciation of the
Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, which caused a decrease of Ch$21.6
billion, partially offset by an increase of revenues by Ch$14.6 billion mainly
due to a 6.9% increase in physical sales. Other revenues decreased by 29.3% to Ch$29.8 billion in 2003 from Ch$42.1
billion in 2002, mainly due to the sale of Infraestructura Dos Mil in June
2003. Infraestructura Dos Mil revenues in 2002 amounted to Ch$20.4 billion. 78

Under Chilean GAAP, Endesa-Chile ceased consolidating Infraestructura Dos
Mil with effect from January 1, 2003. The effect of this disposition was
partially offset by an increase of Ch$6.0 billion of other revenues in Chile. Cost of operations The table below sets forth the breakdown of costs of operations for 2002
and 2003 and the percentage change from year to year. Year ended December 31,2002

 Chilean operating costs increased 10.2% to Ch$285.3 billion in 2003 from
Ch$258.9 billion in 2002. Weaker hydrological conditions caused a 17.4%
increase in variable costs (Ch$27.4 billion) resulting from: (i) a 26.5%
increase in thermoelectric generation, producing a Ch$4.9 billion increase in
fuel costs and Ch$2.8 billion higher tolls and energy transport costs, mainly
gas transportation necessary for the thermo generation, and (ii) a 63.1%
increase in energy and power purchases at an average purchase price of Ch$20.1
per KWh during 2003, 60% higher than during 2002, which increased costs by
Ch$18.8 billion. Costs of operations in Argentina decreased by 8.9% to Ch$77.0 billion in
2003 from Ch$84.6 billion in 2002, mainly due to a Ch$15.4 billion decrease in
expenses due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
This effect was offset in part by an increase of Ch$4.2 billion in fuel costs,
energy and power purchases at Costanera due to 13.3% higher thermoelectric
generation and Ch$2.8 billion of higher energy and power purchases at El
Chocón, both because of higher levels of energy demand. Costs of operations in Colombia decreased by 17.5% to Ch$120.0 billion in
2003 from Ch$145.3 billion in 2002, principally reflecting a Ch$26.4 billion
decrease in expenses due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the
U.S. dollar. Costs of operations in Brazil decreased by 23.4% to Ch$25.2 billion in
2003 from Ch$32.9 billion in 2002, principally reflecting a Ch$6.0 billion
decrease in expenses due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the
U.S. dollar and Ch$4.4 billion decrease due to a 71.1% decrease in the average
price of purchased energy, offset in part by a Ch$2.6 billion increase in other
variable costs. Costs of operations in Peru increased by 9.1% to Ch$43.0 billion in 2003
from Ch$39.4 billion in 2002, mainly due to an increase of Ch$7.1 billion in
energy purchases and tolls and transport costs due to lack of rainfall and an
increase of Ch$4.3 billion in depreciation because of higher fixed assets.
These increases were offset in part by a Ch$7.2 billion decrease in expenses
due to the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar and also by
Ch$1.2 billion of lower other fixed costs. Administrative and selling expenses Administrative and selling expenses decreased by 14.5% to Ch$31.3 billion
in 2003 from Ch$36.7 billion in 2002. This is due to a decrease of Ch$3.5
billion resulting from the impact of the appreciation of the Chilean peso
against the U.S. dollar and a Ch$1.9 billion reduction in expenses of our
foreign subsidiaries mainly because of a decrease in salaries and other
expenses in Colombia. 79

Operating margin Our operating margin as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly from
40.8% in 2002 to 40.2% in 2003, reflecting a decline in operating margin in
Brazil primarily due to a decline in the average price of electricity sold due
to improved hydrological conditions in the region as well as the dispute
between Cachoeira Dourada and CELG (see Legal Proceedings in Item 8 of this
Report). This effect was offset by an increase in operating margin in Argentina
due to high levels of rainfall, which allowed more electricity to be dispatched
from our hydroelectric generation subsidiary, El Chocón, at a lower generation
cost. Our operating margin as a percentage of revenues increased from 36.6% in
2001 to 40.8% in 2002. This increase was due to an improvement in our operating
margin in Chile resulting from an increase in hydrological generation at a
lower cost, as well as in sales. This was partially offset by a decline in
operating margin in Argentina due to a decrease in energy sales and in the
average sales price, primarily due to lower electricity pool market sales
prices and lower operating revenues from El Chocón during 2002 due to the
Argentine crisis. Operating income The following table breaks down operating income by country for the years

 Operating income in Chile for 2003 decreased 10.0% to Ch$155.3 billion
from Ch$172.5 billion in 2002. This decrease is mainly explained by Ch$26.4
billion increase in total expenses, partially offset by a Ch$9.2 billion
increase in revenues. If we eliminate the effect of the deconsolidation of
Infraestructura Dos Mil and Canutillar during 2003, our operating income would
have increased by 3.2 % when compared to year 2002. We believe that it is
helpful to eliminate the effects of the sale of Canutillar and the
deconsolidation of Infraestructura Dos Mil in order to understand the
underlying trend in our operating income. For a reconciliation of these
non-GAAP measures to Chilean GAAP, see Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to
Chilean GAAP below. Operating income in Argentina increased 153.9% to Ch$32.3 billion in 2003
from Ch$12.7 billion in 2002. This increase is mainly explained by an increase
of Ch$11.3 billion in El Chocóns operating income and an increase of Ch$10.6
billion in Costaneras operating income, in both cases, in local currency
terms. El Chocóns revenues increased Ch$13.7 billion and operating expenses
decreased Ch$2.2 billion compared to 2002 due to better hydrology. Costaneras
revenues increased Ch$16.5 billion and operating expenses decreased Ch$5.6
billion compared to 2002. Costaneras revenues increased in part due to a 9.7%
increase in physical energy sales from the second interconnection line with
Brazil, which operated throughout 2003, but only the last five months of 2002.
These positive factors were offset in part by the impact of the appreciation of
the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar, which caused a decrease in our
operating income of Ch$2.3 billion. In Brazil, the operating income of Cachoeira Dourada decreased 78.7% to
Ch$3.7 billion in 2003 from Ch$17.2 billion in 2002. This decrease is mainly
explained by a decrease of Ch$10.4 billion in revenues due to partial billings
resulting from provisional court decisions related to a contractual dispute
with CELG (see Legal Proceedings) and by a negative effect amounting to
Ch$3.1 billion resulting from the appreciation of the Chilean peso and the
Brazilian real (our contracts with CELG are denominated in Brazilian real)
against the U.S. dollar for the periods under comparison. 80

Operating income in Colombia for 2003 increased 12.9% to Ch$86.0 billion
from Ch$76.1 billion in 2002. This increase is mainly explained by an increase
in operating income in local currency terms amounting to Ch$23.7 billion,
partially offset by a negative effect amounting to Ch$13.8 billion resulting
from the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in the
periods under comparison. This increase in operating income is mainly due to
Ch$21.2 billion in higher revenues, a decrease of Ch$3.5 billion in
administrative and selling expenses and a reduction of Ch$1.1 billion in
operating expenses. In Peru, the operating income of Edegel decreased by 13.9% to Ch$61.3
billion in 2003 from Ch$71.2 billion in 2002. This decrease is mainly
explained by a negative effect amounting to Ch$12.9 billion resulting from the
appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in the periods under
comparison. Edegels revenues increased by Ch$14.6 billion and operating
expenses decreased by Ch$10.8 billion during 2003, compared to 2002. Non-operating Results The following table sets forth certain information regarding our

 Non-operating results amounted to a loss of Ch$179.0 billion in 2003 in
comparison to a loss of Ch$316.6 billion in 2002. This reduction in losses in
2003 resulted from a write-off of goodwill in 2002 of Ch$108.1 billion related
to our investments in Argentina and Brazil which did not occur again 2003. Interest earned.Interest earned slightly decreased by 0.9% to Ch$15.3
billion in 2003 from Ch$15.4 billion in 2002. This decrease was primarily
attributable to lower cash balances in Chile during 2003. Equity income from non-consolidated affiliates. The Ch$8.7 billion
improvement in the net income from related companies is mainly due to the
increase in the net profit of CIEN, which amounted to Ch$11.1 billion for
December 31, 2003 compared to a net profit of Ch$7.3 billion for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The improved result of CIEN in 2003 is explained by
significantly better operating results following the start-up of its second
transmission line with Brazil, which was in place during all 2003 year but only
in the last five months of 2002. Other non-operating income. The decrease of Ch$58.9 billion in the results
of other non-operating income to Ch$44.6 billion in 2003 from Ch$103.5 billion
in 2002 is explained principally by a negative effect amounting to Ch$62.4
billion resulting from the appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S.
dollar in the periods under comparison. 81

Interest expense. The Ch$16.1 billion decrease is explained principally by
a reduction of US$340 million in our total debt at period end. The reduction
of debt was the result of operating cash flows and the use of proceeds from the
sale of Infraestructura Dos Mil that permitted the repayment of a significant
portion of our financial debt. Other non-operating expenses. The Ch$57.7 billion decrease in other
non-operating expenses is explained mainly by a decrease of Ch$44.8 billion in
costs related to provisions for constructions in progress which were made in
2002 at Cachoeira Dourada and that were not made again in 2003. The decrease
is also explained by decreases in provisions for obsolescence of assets by
Ch$8.5 billion and a decrease of Ch$5.7 billion in contingency and litigation
expenses. Goodwill amortization. The decrease of Ch$108.1 billion of goodwill
amortization is the result of an impairment of the investments in Brazil and
Argentina during 2002 which did not occur again during 2003. For more
information about this impairment please see note 13(b) to our audited
consolidated financial statements and Critical Accounting
PoliciesImpairment of Long Lived Assets and Goodwill. Foreignexchange translation. During 2003 we had a Ch$9.0 billion gain in
contrast to a Ch$445 million loss in 2002. This positive effect is due to the
17.4% appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in 2003,
compared to a 9.7% depreciation in 2002. Price-level restatement. In 2003, there was a Ch$0.6 billion price-level
restatement gain, compared to a gain of Ch$4.0 billion in 2002. This decrease
in the price-level restatement gain was mainly due to lower inflation in Chile
(a 2003 inflation rate was 1.0%, versus 3.0% in 2002 year). Net income The following table sets forth our net income for the periods indicated. Year ended December 31,2002

 Income Taxes and Extraordinary Items. The lower total income tax of
Ch$44.0 billion during 2003 is due mainly to a decrease of Ch$60.2 billion in
deferred tax net liabilities, offset by increases in income tax due to higher
revenues in the period. The extraordinary item of Ch$11.0 billion recorded
during 2002 corresponds to a one-time security tax imposed to our Colombian
subsidiaries by the Colombian authorities in order to finance national security
activities. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense resulted in charges of
Ch$69.6 billion in 2003, compared to Ch$46.9 billion in 2002. The 48.2%
increase in 2003 was mainly due to an improvement in the results of El Chocón
in Argentina and in Edegel in Peru. Negative Goodwill Amortization. Negative goodwill was Ch$15.6 billion in
2003, compared to Ch$86.8 billion for 2002. This decrease resulted primarily
from accelerated depreciation of the negative goodwill related to 82

investments in Brazil and Argentina during 2002 which did not occur again
in 2003. See note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements. Net income. Net income reached Ch$78.1 billion in the year ended December
31, 2003, compared to a Ch$9.4 billion loss in 2002. The loss was due to a
Ch$56.7 billion net impairment of goodwill related to investments in Brazil and
Argentina, which did not occur again in 2003. This difference was partially offset by:  
    
    a 2.9% reduction in operating revenues resulting from the
appreciation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar during 2003;
and
    
    Ch$10.7 billion in higher operating expenses due to higher energy
purchases resulting from poor hydrological conditions. Results of Operations for Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Overview Our 2002 results, when compared to those of 2001, were mainly affected by
the following factors:  
    
    our operating income for the year ended December 31, 2002 amounted
to Ch$349.7 billion, a decrease of 0.5% from operating income of
Ch$351.5 billion in 2001. This slight reduction in operating income is
basically due to lower operating income in Argentina and Brazil, which
was almost entirely offset by the improved results in Chile and Peru.
    
    our non-operating results amounted to losses of Ch$316.6 billion in
2002 in comparison to losses of Ch$250.3 billion in 2001. This
difference is basically explained by an increase of Ch$109.6 billion in
goodwill amortization resulting from the impairment of the Companys
investments in Brazil and Argentina during 2002, partially offset by a
decrease of Ch$14.0 billion in net financial expenses, and a rise of
Ch$18.7 billion in the equity in income from investments in related
companies, and
    
    our goodwill amortization increase of Ch$101.3 billion in the
result of an impairment in the goodwill related to the Companys
investments, Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil, and El Chocón and Costanera
in Argentina, during 2002. For more information on this impairment
please see note 13(b) to our audited consolidated financial statements
and Critical Accounting Policies. Revenues from operations We derive a substantial portion of our consolidated revenues from the sale
of electricity in Chile. However, revenues from sales from countries other
than Chile accounted for 52.6% and 59.7% of our consolidated revenues in 2002
and 2001, respectively. Revenues from sales of electricity in Argentina
accounted for 10.5% of our consolidated revenues in 2002 as compared to 21.8%
in 2001. Revenues from sales of electricity in Colombia accounted for 24.0% in
2002 as compared to 21.1% in 2001 and revenues from sales of electricity in
Brazil accounted for 5.5% in 2002 as compared to 6.3% in 2001. In addition,
revenues from sales of electricity in Peru accounted for 12.5% in 2002 as
compared to 10.4% in 2001. In each of 2002 and 2001, other income accounted
for less than 5% of total consolidated revenues. The table below sets forth the breakdown of Endesa-Chiles revenues from
operations for 2001 and 2002, and the percentage change from year to year. 83

 Total revenues from operations decreased by 10.3% to Ch$947.5 billion in
2002 from Ch$1,055.7 billion in 2001, which is explained primarily by the
effect of the current market conditions in Argentina and Brazil on the
operations of our subsidiaries in these markets, partially offset only by the
improvement in the sales recorded in Chile and Peru. Revenues from sales of electricity in Chile increased by 4.8% to Ch$408.7
billion in 2002 from Ch$389.9 billion in 2001. This increase is primarily due
to a higher average sales price of 6.7% to Ch$22.3 per kWh in 2002 from Ch$20.9
per kWh in 2001. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales
volumes of approximately 1.8% due to lower sales in the pool market. The
average sales price of electricity sold by us in Chile increased to Ch$22.3 per
kWh in 2002 from Ch$20.9 per kWh in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the
price of regulated and non regulated contract prices. Revenues from sales of electricity in Argentina decreased by 56.9% to
Ch$99.1 billion in 2002, from Ch$230.0 billion in 2001. The decrease is
primarily due to a 39.2% decrease in energy sales and a 29.1% decrease in the
average sales price. The average sales price per kWh of electricity sold by our
subsidiaries in Argentina decreased to Ch$12.6 per kWh in 2002 from Ch$17.7 per
kWh of electricity in 2001, primarily due to lower pool market sales prices and
the lower contract price for El Chocón in 2002 due to the devaluation of the
local currency by more than 70%. The volume of electricity sold in Argentina
decreased to 7,897 GWh in 2002 from 12,988 GWh in 2001 primarily due to a
reduction of the electricity demand in the Argentine market because of the
economic instability during this period. Revenues from sales of electricity in Brazil decreased by 22.5% to Ch$51.9
billion in 2002 from Ch$67.0 billion in 2001 primarily as a result of a 19.2%
decrease in the average sales price during fiscal year 2002 to Ch$14.5 per kWh
in 2002 from Ch$17.9 per kWh in 2001. This decrease was mainly produced by a
drop in the average price of energy sales due to the devaluation of the
Brazilian currency with respect to the U.S. dollar. Revenues from sales of electricity in Colombia increased by 2.3% to
Ch$227.5 billion in 2002 from Ch$222.5 billion in 2001 due to an increase in
sales volumes to 14,639 GWh in 2002 from 14,591 GWh in 2001. The increase in
sales volumes is mainly related to higher energy production due to favorable
hydrological conditions. 84

Revenues from sales of electricity in Peru increased by 8.0% to Ch$118.0
billion in 2002 from Ch$109.3 billion in 2001 due to a 10.1% higher average
sales price of Ch$28.4 per kWh in 2002 from Ch$25.8 per kWh in 2001. The
increase in the average sales price, which was due to the increase in regulated
prices, helped to offset the 1.9% decline in sales volumes. Other revenues increased by 13.9% in 2002, mainly due to higher revenues
from Infraestructura Dos Mil, and higher sales from the engineering subsidiary
Ingendesa related to new service contracts. Cost of operations The table below sets forth the breakdown of costs of operations for 2001

    )
 Cost of operations decreased to Ch$561.1 billion in 2002, 16.2% less
compared to Ch$669.2 billion in 2001. The main drivers of this cost reduction
were savings in our operations in Argentina, Chile and Brazil, partially offset
by higher operating expenses in Colombia, and Peru. Cost of operations in Chile decreased by 5.0% to Ch$258.9 billion in 2002
from Ch$272.5 billion in 2001. This decline is explained by the exceptional
hydrology of the period, which allowed us to deliver energy pursuant to our
contracts by principally using our hydroelectric plants. Cost of operations in Argentina decreased by 53.1% to Ch$84.6 billion in
2002 from Ch$180.4 billion in 2001. The lower energy demand and the operation
of our plants resulted in lower purchased power needs from the Argentine pool
market. El Chocón reduced its purchased power by 63% and its power purchase
cost by more than 82%. In the case of Costanera, physical purchases fell by
more than 75%, contributing to a decrease of purchased power cost of 77%. In
addition, the decrease in generation in our Argentine plants decreased other
operational expenses. With respect to Costanera, the devaluation and conversion
of contracts to local currency reduced the fuel costs of the plant by Ch$36.1
billion, 68% compared to 2001. As a hydroelectric plant, El Chocón does not
have fuel costs, but nevertheless reduced its tolls and transportation costs by
almost Ch$3.2 billion because of lower sales volumes. Cost of operations in Brazil decreased by 12.9% to Ch$32.9 billion in 2002
from Ch$37.8 billion in 2001. Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil benefited from the
lower spot prices produced by the end of shortages and rationing in the
beginning of 2002, reducing its power purchase costs by 55%, and thereby
decreasing its operating expenses by 9% compared to last year. Cost of operations in Colombia increased by 1.5% to Ch$145.3 billion from
Ch$143.2 billion. This increase was mainly due to higher toll expenses. Cost of operations in Peru increased by 11.4% to Ch$39.4 billion in 2002
from Ch$35.4 billion in 2001. The increase in Edegels cost of operations was
mostly the result of the amortization of maintenance cost associated to Central
Chimay. 85

Administrative and selling expenses Administrative and selling expenses increased by 4.9% to Ch$36.7 billion
in 2002 from Ch$35.0 billion in 2001. This increase is primarily explained by
the effect of a provision made during 2002 related to severance liabilities in
Colombia, partially compensated by the decrease in administrative and selling
expenses in Argentina. Operating Income The operating income for 2002 amounted to Ch$349.7 billion, a decrease of
0.5% from operating income of Ch$351.5 billion in 2001. This slight reduction
in operating income is basically due to lower operating income in Argentina and
Brazil, which was almost entirely offset by the improved results in Chile and
Peru. In Chile, operating income for 2002 amounted to Ch$172.5 million, an
increase of 26.4%. This increase was principally the result of higher
hydroelectric generation associated with an improvement in reservoir levels.
Another contributing factor was the increase in average sales prices resulting
from Endesa-Chiles marketing policies that enabled it to obtain the better
prices from unregulated clients and pool markets. Furthermore, the reduction
in thermoelectricity generation resulted in a decrease of Ch$26.9 billion in
the cost of fuel and transport gas. In addition, the greater volumes of water
allowed for a reduction of Ch$10.2 billion in the cost of energy purchases. In Argentina, operating income amounted to Ch$12.7 billion, a fall of
Ch$32.3 billion with respect to 2001. This decrease is due to the drop in the
average sales prices of energy from El Chocón as a result of the devaluation of
the Argentine Peso and of a 39.2% decrease in the sales volumes of energy in
Argentina. Furthermore, the low energy prices in Brazil as a result of the
abundant water supply in the region meant that in 2002 only 2% of water demand
needed to be purchase from the CIEN interconnection line. Nevertheless, the
operating income of Costanera rose by Ch$2.9 billion in relation to the
previous year due to the sales of capacity to the interconnection with Brazil
that have partially offset the fall in El Chocóns sales of energy. In Brazil, the operating income of Cachoeira Dourada decreased by 39.2% to
Ch$17.2 billion in 2002 from Ch$28.2 billion in 2001. This decrease was mainly
the result of a 19.2% drop in the average price of energy sales due to the
devaluation of the Brazilian currency relative to the U.S. dollar and greater
energy purchases associated with the recovery of reservoirs after a prolonged
drought in southeastern Brazil. In Colombia, the operating income for 2002 increased by 1.3% to Ch$76.1
billion mainly as a result of an increase in sales volumes of energy due to an
improvement in water supplies and rainfall and to higher sales prices of energy
on the pool market. Our subsidiary in Peru, Edegel, also contributed to the increased
consolidated operating income. Edegels operating income increase by 6.7% to
Ch$71.2 billion, mainly due to higher average sales prices on the pool market,
which was more than offset the reduction in energy sales volumes. 86

 Non-operating results amounted to losses of Ch$316.6 billion in 2002 in
comparison to losses of Ch$250.3 billion in 2001. This difference is basically
explained by an increase of Ch$109.6 billion in goodwill amortization resulting
from the impairment of the Companys investments in Brazil and Argentina during
2002, partially offset by a decrease of Ch$14.0 billion in net financial
expenses, and a rise of Ch$18.7 billion in the equity in income from
investments in related companies. Interest earned.Interest earned decreased by 20.4% to Ch$15.4 billion in
2002 from Ch$19.3 billion in 2001. The decrease in 2002 from 2001 was primarily
attributable to lower cash balances at our subsidiaries in Argentina. Equity income from non-consolidated affiliates. The Ch$18.7 billion
improvement in the net income from related companies is mainly due to the
increase in the net profit of CIEN that for 2002, amounted to Ch$7.3 billion
compared to a loss of Ch$10.0 billion for the year ended 2001. The improved
result of CIEN in 2002 is explained by significantly better operating results
following the start-up of its second transmission line, with the first 500 MW
coming on line in May 2002 and the other 500 MW in August 2002. Other non-operating income. The increase of Ch$47.1 billion in the
results of other non-operating income to Ch$103.5 billion in 2002 from Ch$56.4
billion in 2001 is explained principally by the positive effect of the
devaluation on the liabilities in local currency of our subsidiaries in
Colombia and Argentina, offset by gains of Ch$18.8 billion and Ch$3.2 billion
related to the repurchase of bonds and the sale of shares in Transelec,
respectively. Interest expense. The Ch$17.9 billion fall in net financial expenses is
explained principally by a reduction of US$240 million in debt. This reduction
was the result of operating cash flows that permitted the repayment of
financial debt in 2002 and by lower interest rates explained by the drop in
international interest rates from 2001. Other non-operating expenses. The Ch$58.7 billion increase in the results
of other non-operating expenses is explained principally by a write-off during
2002 related to assets of our generating subsidiary in Brazil, Cachoeira
Dourada. Goodwill amortization. The increase of Ch$101.3 billion in the charge for
goodwill amortization is the result of an impairment of the Companys
investments, Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil, and El Chocón and Costanera in
Argentina, during 2002. For more information on this impairment please see
note 13(b) to our audited consolidated financial statements and Critical
Accounting Policies Foreign exchange translation.The loss of Ch$445.0 million for the year
ended 2002, compared to a loss of Ch$14.7 billion for the year ended 2001
reflects the fact that for the year ended 2002, the Chilean peso depreciated by
9.7% against the U.S. dollar as compared to a depreciation of 14.1% during the
same period of the year before. On the other hand, these losses were offset to
a large extent by forward contract operations that produced a profit of Ch$16.2
billion for the year ended 2002. Price-level restatement. In 2002, there was a Ch$4.0 billion price-level
restatement gain, compared to a gain of Ch$4.4 billion in 2001. This slight
decrease in the price-level restatement gain was due to the combined effect of 87

##### Table of Contents



lower inflation in Chile (a 2002 inflation rate of 3.0%, versus 3.1% for
the same period in 2001); and a higher level of net monetary liabilities during
2002. Income Taxes The higher income tax during this period reflects the improved results of
the operations in Chile and Peru. The extraordinary item of Ch$11.0 billion
corresponds to a one-time security tax imposed by the Colombian authorities on
the equity of the companies in order to finance national security activities.
The total tax was recorded during the 2002 period. Minority Interest Minority interest expense resulted in charges of Ch$46.9 billion in 2002,
compared to Ch$34.4 billion in 2001. The 36.6% increase in 2002 compared to
2001 was mainly due to an improvement in the results of Emgesa in Colombia. Negative Goodwill Amortization Negative Goodwill was Ch$86.8 billion in 2002, compared to Ch$46.4 billion
for 2001. This increase resulted primarily from the impairment of the Companys
investments in Brazil and Argentina during 2002. See note 13 to our audited
consolidated financial statements. Net Income The Company recorded a loss of Ch$9.4 billion in 2002, compared to a net
income of Ch$72.9 billion in 2001. This was primarily due to a net impairment
of goodwill and negative goodwill of Ch$56.7 billion (net of minority interest)
of investments in Argentina and Brazil. The amount of the goodwill impairment
is Ch$27.2 billion in Argentina and Ch$72.8 billion in Brazil. This adjustment
was partially offset by:  
    
    a 26.4% increase in operating results in Chile due mainly to better
hydrological conditions;
    
    a Ch$18.7 billion improvement in the net results on investments in
related companies due fundamentally to the improved results of CIEN,
which exports energy from Argentina to Brazil and in which Endesa-Chile
has a participation of 45%; and
    
    a reduction of Ch$14.0 billion, or a decrease of 6.4% in net
financial expenses. 88

Endesa-Chile. For information regarding our commitments for capital
expenditures, see Item 4. Information on the Company  A. History and
Development of the Company  Investments, Capital Expenditures and
Divestitures. We have accessed the international equity capital markets, registering one
ADS issuance with the SEC in August 3, 1994. We have also frequently issued
bonds in the international capital markets, or Yankee Bonds. Our subsidiaries
and we have issued Yankee Bonds between 1996 and 2003, of which US$2,200
million are currently outstanding. In June 2000 Endesa-Chile established a
Euro medium-term note program, or EMTN Program, for an aggregate amount of 1
billion. We issued 400 million in 3-year floating rate notes in July 2000
under our EMTN Program which have been repaid. The following table lists the Yankee Bonds of Endesa-Chile and
consolidated subsidiaries outstanding as of the date of this annual report.
The weighted average annual interest rate for Yankee Bonds issued by
Endesa-Chile and its consolidated subsidiaries, of which an aggregate principal
amount US$2,200 million is currently outstanding, is approximately 8.04%. Aggregate PrincipalIssuer

    Holders of these Yankee Bonds can exercise a put option against
Endesa-Chile on February 1, 2009. Endesa-Chile and our subsidiaries in the five countries in which we
operate also have access to the local capital markets, where we have issued
debt instruments including commercial paper and medium and long-term bonds that
are primarily sold to pension funds, life insurance companies, and other
institutional investors. In 2001, Endesa-Chile issued UF 7.5 million
(approximately US$180 million at the time of issuance) in Chilean 5-year and
21-year bonds in each case with an interest rate of 6.2% per annum. On October
24, 2003, Endesa-Chile issued UF4 million in 7-year UF denominated bonds with
an interest rate of 5.65% per annum, and other UF4 million in 25-year UF
denominated bonds with an interest rate of 6.74% per annum, for an aggregate
principal amount of UF8 million (Ch$135.8 billion or US$214 million at the time
of issuance). For detailed information about local bonds issued by
Endesa-Chile, see Note 17 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Endesa-Chile is also a frequent borrower in the commercial bank markets,
both in the form of bilateral loans as well as in syndicated loans. In 1999,
we obtained US$1.8 billion in 2-year bilateral loans with a syndicate of banks.
The loans were extended for two years, maturing in 2003. We have also signed
several syndicated loans over the last few years including, among others, a
3-year bullet US$500 million syndicated facility in July 2001. These
syndicated loans were paid before their stated maturity with the proceeds of a
syndicated credit facility that we entered into in May 2003. On May 15, 2003, Endesa-Chile consolidated its outstanding syndicated and
bilateral credit agreements, which would have otherwise matured in 2003 and
2004, into a credit agreement for approximately US$743 million, refinancing
most of the existing bank indebtedness of the Company. This facility
eliminated a mandatory 90

prepayment in the event that the borrower fails to achieve investment
grade ratings from Standard & Poors. The total outstanding amount under this
credit facility has been prepaid in full as described below. On February 4, 2004, Endesa-Chile entered into an agreement with a
syndicate of banks to provide a new US$250 million senior unsecured term loan
facility through Endesa-Chiles Cayman Islands branch (the Endesa-Chile
Facility). Endesa-Chile borrowed the full amount under this facility and used
the proceeds of the borrowing plus the proceeds of the issuance of US$600
million Yankee Bonds on July 18, 2003 to repay all amounts outstanding under
the May 25, 2003, Endesa-Chile credit facility for US$743 million. The
Endesa-Chile Facility ranks pari passu with all other unsubordinated debt of
Endesa-Chile. No principal repayments are required under the Endesa-Chile
facility until it matures 42 months from its original closing date, February 9,
2004; prior to maturity, Endesa-Chile is required to pay interest in respect
of the unpaid principal amount of all loans under the Endesa-Chile Facility,
subject to mandatory prepayment of all amounts owed to any lender, at the
option of such lender, in the event of a change of control or Endesa-Chile
ceasing to be a public company. The Endesa-Chile Facility requires
Endesa-Chile to maintain specified financial covenants related to maximum
ratios of indebtedness to adjusted cash flow (ranging from 10.40:1 in 2003 to
8.40:1 in the third quarter of 2007), indebtedness to EBITDA (ranging from
6.40:1 in 2003 to 5.00:1 in the third quarter of 2007), debt to equity (ranging
from 120% in 2003 to 102% in the third quarter of 2007) and minimum ratio of
adjusted cash flow to interest expense (ranging from 1.50:1 in 2003 to 1.7:1 in
the third quarter of 2007). The Endesa-Chile Facility contains covenants that
place restrictions on the extent to which Endesa-Chile and certain of its
subsidiaries (i) sell, assign, transfer or contribute essential operating
assets, (ii) repurchase or redeem its capital stock or make other distributions
in respect of its capital stock, (iii) consummate mergers, consolidations,
liquidations or dissolutions, (iv) conduct sales of assets, (v) create or incur
liens on properties and assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates
(other than in the ordinary course of business and at arms length), (vii)
enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (viii) permit any material
change in the nature of the principal business of Endesa-Chile or of
Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. These restrictions will
cease to apply upon repayment in full of the Endesa-Chile Facility, which
matures on August 4, 2007. We do not consider these covenants and restrictions
to be material. The margin over LIBOR at which interest accrues under the
Endesa-Chile Facility is determined by reference to the S&P rating of
Endesa-Chiles senior unsecured long-term foreign currency denominated debt;
such margin ranges from 75 basis points for an A- or higher rating to 275 basis
points for a rating lower than BB+. At the time of this filing, the current
interest rate applicable to the Endesa-Chile Facility is LIBOR plus 115 basis
points. For detailed information about weighted average interest rates
applicable to our bank loans, see Note 15 to our Audited Consolidated
Statements. In the past a substantial portion of Endesa-Chiles financial indebtedness
was subject to mandatory prepayment triggers (in the event of a loss of
investment grade status from Standard & Poors) and a pricing grid based on
the borrowers senior unsecured long-term foreign currency Standard & Poors
debt ratings. On December 11, 2002, Standard & Poors lowered such rating for
Endesa-Chile from BBB+ to BBB as a result of the currency devaluations
affecting our Argentine and Brazilian subsidiaries and the reduction in the
Chilean node prices. On February 21, 2003, Endesa-Chile was downgraded again
from BBB to BBB- with a negative outlook based primarily on Standard &
Poors heightened concerns about Endesa Chiles ability to refinance in the
midst of difficult market conditions and the deterioration of our investments
in Argentina and Brazil. On May 16, 2003, and as a direct consequence of our
new bank refinancing, Standard & Poors lifted its negative outlook and
maintained Endesa-Chiles corporate foreign currency ratings debt rating at
BBB- with a stable outlook. The Endesa-Chile Yankee Bonds contain covenants that place restrictions on
the extent to which Endesa-Chile and certain of its subsidiaries may (i) create
or incur liens on properties and assets and (ii) enter into sale and leaseback
transactions. As is customary for certain credit and capital market debt facilities, a
significant portion of Endesa-Chiles financial indebtedness is subject to
cross default provisions. The Endesa-Chile Facility and the Yankee Bonds
represent the Companys most material indebtedness, and contain the most
material cross default provisions. Other outstanding indebtedness is for less
significant amounts, and their cross default provisions, if any, have higher
thresholds. Payment defaults in relation to any individual indebtedness of
Endesa-Chile, or some of its more relevant subsidiaries, subject to expiration
of applicable grace periods (if any) and a materiality threshold of US$30
million outstanding (on an individual basis) could give rise to a cross default
under the Endesa-Chile Facility. Endesa- 91

Chiles relevant subsidiaries which have indebtedness in excess of US$30
million as of March 31, 2004 are Celta, Pehuenche, Endesa Internacional and
Betania. If Endesa-Chile or any of its subsidiaries defaults in the payment on any
individual indebtedness having a principal amount in excess of US$30 million,
an event of default would be triggered under the Endesa-Chile Yankee Bonds.
Endesa-Chiles subsidiaries which have indebtedness in excess of US$30 million
as of March 31, 2004 are Betania, Celta, Pehuenche, Endesa Internacional, San
Isidro, Costanera and Emgesa. Any event of default arising out of Endesa-Chiles Yankee Bonds would
trigger a cross default under most of the existing bank credit agreements. In addition to the payment cross default provisions described in the
previous paragraphs, certain indebtedness of Endesa-Chile is subject to (A)
cross acceleration provisions, again subject to a materiality threshold of
US$30 million (US$50 million in certain cases) on an individual basis, and (B)
certain other customary events of default. Some of the more material examples
of such customary event of default triggers include bankruptcy and insolvency
proceedings, material adverse judgments, and certain governmental actions such
as nationalization, seizure, or expropriation of assets. The general cross
acceleration provisions give rise to an event of default only when other
material indebtedness has been accelerated at the direction of the required
lenders thereunder or otherwise pursuant to its terms, after expiration of
grace periods where applicable. At the time of this filing, we are in compliance with our material
covenants contained in our debt instruments. There is one delayed payment of
an immaterial amount in Costanera (totaling US$3.6 million of bank debt). We
are in advanced discussions with the lender under this facility and expect that
we will soon reach an agreement for its partial payment and rescheduling. Finally, most of our companies have access to existing credit lines
sufficient to meet all of our present working capital needs. Payment of dividends and distributions by Endesa-Chiles subsidiaries and
related companies represent a significant source of funds for Endesa-Chile. The
payment of dividends and distributions by such subsidiaries and related
companies are subject to legal and contractual restrictions, such as legal
reserve requirements, capital and retained earning criteria and other
restrictions, and is contingent upon their earnings and cash flows.
Endesa-Chile has been advised by legal counsel in the various geographical
locations where its subsidiaries and related companies operate that there are
currently no other legal restrictions on the payment to Endesa-Chile of
dividends or distributions from the jurisdictions where such subsidiaries or
related companies are incorporated, other than customary restrictions limiting
dividends to the amount of net income and retained earnings. Certain credit
facilities and investment agreements of Endesa-Chiles subsidiaries restrict
the payment of dividends or distributions under certain circumstances. There
can be no assurance that legal restrictions will not be imposed or that
additional contractual restrictions will not arise in the future. For a
description of liquidity risks resulting from our holding company status,
please see Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our OperationsWe are a holding
company and depend on payments from our subsidiaries and related companies to
meet our payment obligations in this annual report. We believe that cash flow generated by operations, cash balances,
available lines of credit (including lines of credit from suppliers) and
planned borrowings will be sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service
and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Endesa-Chile
intends to roll over up to approximately US$290 million in short-term debt. The following are the transactions that most significantly affected our
liquidity in 2003:  
    
    On April 7, 2003, Endesa-Chile reached an agreement with HQI
Transelec to sell its transmission assets on the Chilean Northern Grid
System (SING). Endesa-Chile was paid US$110 million pursuant to the
terms of this agreement. The transaction included the disposal of 285
kilometers of 220 kV line circuits for approximately US$32 million,
corresponding to the assets of the Tarapacá plant, and the transfer of
673 kilometers of 220 kV line circuits for approximately US$78 million,
corresponding to GasAtacama Generación Limitada, of which Endesa owns
50%. 92

    On April 30, 2003, Endesa-Chile completed the sale of the assets of
the Canutillar hydroelectric plant to Cenelca S.A., a subsidiary of
Minera Valparaíso S.A., for the sum of US$174 million.

since January 1, 2003, that Infraestructura Dos Mil owes to third
parties.
    
    On July 23, 2003, Endesa-Chile successfully issued US$600 million
aggregate principal amount of bonds in the U.S. market. The transaction
is structured in two tranches; the first, for an amount of US$400
million of unsecured 10 year bonds at an interest rate of 8.35%, and
the second for a total of US$200 million in unsecured 12 year bonds
with an interest rate of 8.625%. The proceeds from the sale of these
bonds were used to prepay part of the US$743 million syndicated loan
disclosed above.

 C. Research and development, patents and licenses, etc. Costs incurred by the Company for research and development expenses that
are general in nature (water-level studies, hydroelectric research,
seismic-activity surveys) are expensed as incurred. Studies related to specific
construction projects are capitalized. During the years ended December 31,
2001, 2002 and 2003 no research and development costs have been incurred. D. Trend information. In general terms, no trends can be easily established for the energy
business in the five countries in which we operate. However, we have
identified the following themes: There is a tendency toward greater competition
in some countries, combined with a liberalization of regulated markets, and the
introduction, or proposed introduction, of trading companies that will market
energy to final clients. This would give us access to a wider universe of
customers, allowing us to compete to serve higher margin clients. There is
also a general tendency toward the interconnection of electricity systems,
including systems that cross international borders, such as our CIEN project
between Argentina and Brazil, increasing competition in the markets served by
interconnection projects and at the same time opening new markets for our
current installed capacity. Our ability to rely on natural gas from Argentina is increasingly
uncertain, because of natural gas restrictions applied by the Argentine
government. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk Factors relating to Argentina. 93

We do not disclose to our shareholders or otherwise, information on
individual executive officers compensation. For the year ended December 31,
2003, the aggregate compensation (including performance-based bonuses) of the
executive officers of Endesa-Chile paid or accrued, was Ch$1,538,986,153.
Executive Officers are eligible for variable compensation under a bonus plan.
Endesa-Chile provides for its executive officers an annual bonus plan for
meeting company-wide objectives and for their individual contribution to the
Companys results. The annual bonus plan provides for a range of bonus amounts
according to hierarchical level. The bonuses eventually paid to executives
consist of a certain number of gross monthly salaries. The total variable
compensation paid in April 2003 was Ch$199,351,611, and is included in the
aggregate compensation. The amounts set aside or accrued in 2003 to provide severance benefits for
our executive officers totaled Ch$220,666,566. No severance indemnities were
paid in 2003 to the companys executive officers. C. Board practices Corporate Governance Endesa-Chile is managed by its executive officers under the direction of
its board of directors which, in accordance with the estatutos, or articles of
incorporation and bylaws, of Endesa-Chile, consists of nine directors who are
elected at the annual regular shareholders meeting. Each director serves for a
three year term and the term of each of the nine directors expires on the same
day. Staggered terms are not permitted under Chilean law. If a vacancy occurs
on the board during the three year term, the board of directors may appoint a
temporary director to fill the vacancy until a permanent replacement is elected
at the next general shareholders meeting. The current board of directors was
elected in March 2004 and their terms expire in March 2007. The members of the
board of directors do not have service contracts with Endesa-Chile or any of
its affiliates that provide benefits upon termination of employment. Chilean corporate law provides that a companys board of directors is
responsible for the management, administration and representation of a company
in all matters concerning its corporate purpose, subject to the provisions of
the companys estatutosand the stockholders resolutions. In addition to the
estatutos, the Board of Directors of Endesa-Chile has adopted regulations and
policies that guide our corporate governance principles. The most important of
these regulations and policies are the following: The Internal Regulations on Conduct in Securities Markets, approved by the
Board on June 2002, which determine the rules of conduct that must be followed
by members of the Board of Directors, senior management and other managers and
employees who, due to the nature of their job responsibilities, may have access
to sensitive or confidential information, with a view to contributing to
transparency and to the protection of investors. These regulations are based on
the principles of impartiality, good faith, placing the companys interests
before ones own, and care and diligence in using information and acting in the
securities markets. The
Charter Governing Executives (Estatuto del Directivo), approved by
the Board in July 2003, and the Employees Code of Conduct, which develop our
principles and values, establish the rules governing dealings with customers
and suppliers, and establish the principles that should be followed by
employees in their work: ethical conduct, professionalism and confidentiality.
They also impose limitations on the activities our senior executives and other
employees may undertake outside the scope of their employment with us, such as
non-compete limitations. The above regulations and rules reflect our core principles of
transparency, respect for stockholders rights, and the duty of care and
loyalty of the directors imposed by Chilean law. Compliance with NYSE Listing Standards on Corporate Governance Following is a summary of the significant differences between our
corporate governance practices and those applicable to domestic issuers under
the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Because we are
a controlled company under the NYSE rules (a company of which more than 50%
of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company), we
would not, were we a domestic U.S. company, be 98

subject to the requirement that
we have a majority of independent directors, and nomination and compensation
committees. Independence and functions of the Audit Committee Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, all members of the audit
committee must be independent. We will be subject to this requirement
effective July 31, 2005. As required by Chilean Law, Endesa-Chile has a Comité
de Directorescomposed of three directors. Although Chilean Law requires that a
majority of the Comité de Directores(two out of three members) must be
composed of directors who were not nominated by the controlling shareholder and
did not seek votes from the controlling shareholder (a non-control director),
it permits the Comité de Directoresto be composed of a majority or even a
unanimity of controlled directors, if there are not sufficient non-control
directors on the board to serve on the committee. Currently, our Comité de
Directoresis composed by a majority of non-control directors. Our Comité de
Directoresdoes not currently meet the independence requirements to which the
audit committee of Endesa-Chile, whether the Comité de Directoresor a
different committee, will become subject on July 31, 2005, or the additional
independence requirements to which the audit committees of U.S. companies are
subject. Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the audit committee of a U.S.
company must perform the functions enumerated in NYSE Listed Company Manual
Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07 Non-U.S. companies are required to comply with Rule
303A.06 beginning July 31, 2005 but are not at any time required to comply with
Rule 303A.07. We do not currently comply with these rules, but we expect that,
when we become subject to Rule 303A.06, we will comply with both the
independence and the function requirements of the rule. Corporate Governance Guidelines The NYSEs corporate governance rules require U.S. listed companies to
adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Chilean law does not
contemplate this practice, other than with respect to the codes of conduct
described above. Committees and Other Advisory Bodies The Comité de Directores The Comité de Directoresis composed of three members who are
simultaneously directors of the Company. It performs the following functions:  
    
    examination of Annual Report, Financial Statements and the Reports
of the External Auditors and Inspectors of the Accounts;
    
    formulation of the proposal to the Board of Directors for the
selection of external auditors and private rating agencies;
    
    examination of information related to operations by the Company
with related parties and/or related to operations in which the Company
board members or relevant executive officers may have personal
interest;
    
    examination of the remuneration framework and compensation plans
for managers and executive officers; and
    
    any other function mandated to the committee by the estatutos, the
board of directors or the shareholders of the company. 99

14, 1981. Severance payments to employees hired prior to that date consist of
one months salary for each full year worked, not subject to any limitation on
the total amount payable. In addition, under Endesa-Chiles collective
bargaining agreements, Endesa-Chile is obligated to make severance payments to
all covered employees in cases of voluntary resignation or death, in specified
amounts that increase according to seniority. Management believes
Endesa-Chiles relationship with its trade unions is a positive one. We
entered into a new collective bargaining agreement with our engineering
personnel in January 2004. This agreement
has a term of three years. In May 2004, we began the renegotiation of the
collective bargaining agreements with our electro-mechanical, technical and
administrative personnel that must be closed on June 30, 2004. Various amendments were made to the Chilean Code of Labor, which came into
effect as of December 1, 2001. Among the principal reforms are the following: 100

##### Table of Contents



Higher indemnity costs.Indemnity costs associated with dismissing
employees are now 30-100% higher than they were under prior labor provisions
when a Labor Tribunal rules in favor of the former employee and finds that the
reasons given for dismissing the employee are unjustified. Obligation for full indemnity.Severance compensation must be paid at the
moment of termination of the labor relationship. Indemnity settlements may be
negotiated in installments (with inflation and interest adjustments). Failure
to pay severance compensation will allow the judge to increase the amount owed
by up to 150%. Anti-union practices.Several amendments relating to anti-union practices
have been introduced by the reform. Among others, in the event that a judge
decrees that a given layoff violated labor union practices, the employee may
choose to be reinstated to his former job, or demand the payment of the
applicable compensation and, in addition, receive an indemnification which
would be determined by the judge (within the margins established by the law).
Another amendment protects employees who participate in the creation of a union
from being dismissed from ten days before the date in which the union is
created until thirty days after such date. E. Share ownership. Each of Endesa-Chiles directors and officers owns less than one percent,
if any, of the shares of the Company. None of Endesa-Chiles directors and
officers have any stock options, which are not permitted under current Chilean
securities laws and regulations. It is not possible to confirm if any of our

officers or directors have beneficial, rather than direct, interest in the
shares of Endesa-Chile. However, to the best of our knowledge, any potential
shareholding by all of the directors and officers of Endesa-Chile in the
aggregate amounts to much less than 10% of outstanding shares. 
 Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions A. Major shareholders. Endesa-Chile has only one class of capital stock. As of December 31,
2003, according to Endesa-Chiles shareholder records, 27,334 registered
shareholders held its 8,201,754,580 shares. The following table sets out information concerning beneficial ownership
of Endesa-Chiles shares as of December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2003Percentage ofShares Beneficially

Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, beneficially owned as of December 31,
2003, directly or indirectly, 60.0% of Endesa-Chiles outstanding capital
stock. During 2003 Enersis performed a Capital Increase, which resulted in
Endesa-Spain reducing its participation directly and indirectly from 65% to
60.6% beneficial interest. On April 13, 1999, Enersis, which already owned
25.3% of Endesa-Chile, launched a tender offer to purchase up to 34.7% of Endesa-Chiles outstanding shares,
subject to shareholder approval of a 101

##### Table of Contents



resolution to increase the maximum
percentage of shares that may be beneficially owned by any one shareholder from
26% to 65%. On April 8, 1999, Endesa-Chiles shareholders passed the
resolution and on May 11, 1999, Enersis successfully completed its tender offer
for an additional 30% of Endesa-Chiles outstanding shares on the Santiago
Stock Exchange. On May 14, 1999, Enersis acquired an additional 4.7% of
Endesa-Chiles shares in a concurrent US tender offer, increasing its ownership
interest in Endesa-Chile to 60%. B. Related party transactions. Article 89 of the Chilean Companies Act requires that the Companys
transactions with related parties be on a market basis or on terms similar to
those customarily prevailing in the market. Directors and executive officers
of companies that violate Article 89 are liable for losses resulting from such
violation. The Directors Committee examines several company operations and
contracts with related companies, referred to in Clause 89 of the Companies
Law, and reports on these agreements to the Companys Board. In addition,
Article 44 of the Chilean Companies Act provides that any transaction in which
a director has a personal interest or is acting on behalf of a third party may
be approved only when the board of directors has previously been informed and
has approved the terms of such transaction and that such terms are similar to
those prevailing in the market. Resolutions approving such transactions must be
reported to the Companys shareholders at the next shareholders meeting.
Violation of Article 44 may result in administrative or criminal sanctions to
the Company, and shareholders or interested third parties who suffer losses as
a result of such violation have the right to receive compensation in certain
situations. The Companys largest electricity distribution customer is Chilectra S.A.
(Chilectra), a subsidiary of Enersis. The terms of the Companys contracts
with Chilectra are regulated in accordance with the Chilean Electricity Law.
For additional information concerning the Companys transactions with
affiliates and other related parties, see Note 6 to the audited consolidated
financial statements. The Company believes that it has complied with the
requirements of Article 89 and Article 44 in all transactions with related
parties. It is common practice in Chile to transfer surplus funds of one company to
another related company that has a cash deficit It is the Endesa groups
policy that all cash inflows and outflows of Endesa-Chile and Endesa-Chiles
Chilean subsidiaries are managed through a centralized cash management policy
in coordination with Enersis. These operations are carried out through
short-term inter-company loans. Under Chilean law and regulation, such
transactions must be carried out on an arms length basis. Such centralized
cash management is more efficient for both financial and tax reasons. All of
these operations are subject to the supervision of our Board of Directors
Committee. These transactions are priced at TIP (variable Chilean interest
rate) + 0.05% per month. In other countries in the regions in which we do business, these
intercompany transactions are permitted but they have adverse tax consequences.
Accordingly, we do not manage the cash flows of our non-Chilean subsidiaries
in a centralized manner. Endesa-Chile has also made structured loans to its subsidiaries in Chile,
primarily to finance projects and refinance existing indebtedness. As of
December 31, 2003, the outstanding net balance for such loans was US$431
million, the largest amount outstanding during 2003. Additionally,
Endesa-Chile lent money to its foreign subsidiaries, in order to finance
foreign investments, in an amount of US$481 million as of December 31, 2003.
The largest amount outstanding during 2003 for such loans to its foreign
subsidiaries was US$492 million. The interest rate on these intercompany loans to Endesa-Chiles
subsidiaries ranges from 3.77% to 8.13% in Chile, with a weighted average
interest rate of approximately 4.6%. The interest rate on these intercompany
loans to Endesa-Chiles foreign subsidiaries ranges from 6.58% to 9.00%, with a
weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.3%. C. Interests of experts and counsel. Not applicable. 102

Item 8. Financial Information A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information. See Item 18 for our consolidated financial statements. Legal Proceedings Chile Chilean Electricity Regulations The Chilean government imposed electricity rationing during three periods
in 1998 and 1999. During these periods, Endesa-Chile and other hydroelectric
generators were required by law to purchase energy from thermal electric
generators with surplus energy. When the Chilean government imposes
electricity rationing, it limits the amount of electricity we can generate
during drought conditions or prolonged failures in the countrys thermoelectric
facilities. If, due to the rationing, we are unable to generate enough
electricity to fulfill our contracts we may be forced to buy electricity on the
electricity pool market at the spot price. The spot price may be significantly
higher than our costs to generate the electricity and can be as high as the
cost of failure set by the CNE. The cost of failure is determined by the
CNEs economic models as the highest cost of electricity during periods of
drought or electricity deficiency. If we are unable to buy enough electricity
in the pool market to satisfy all our contracts, then we have to compensate our
regulated customers for the amount of contracted-for electricity we failed to
provide at the cost of failure. The first rationing decree was issued for the period between November 13,
1998 and December 31, 1998, though actual rationing took place for only 14 days
during this period. Under the then prevailing Chilean Electricity Law, a
drought as severe as the one that occurred in 1968-69 constituted force
majeure and provided an exemption from paying the cost of failure for
electricity. Because the drought in 1998 was the worst in recorded history,
Endesa-Chile argued that the force majeure exemption should be applied and
disputed the applicability of failure cost during the first rationing period.
The dispute was settled on March 26, 1999 by the Ministry of Economy, which
held that those transactions carried out in the electricity pool market between
generation companies in those node locations and during the hours when the
energy supplied was not enough to satisfy the demand had to be calculated based
on failure costs. However, the Ministry of Economy did not establish the
appropriate procedures to calculate these failure costs but instead left the
matter to be resolved by the SIC dispatch center. As of the date of this

annual report, no such procedures have been established. Even if an
unfavorable decision is reached, it will not have material adverse consequences
on the Company. The second rationing decree period began on April 30, 1999 and was
eventually superseded by a third rationing decree, which began on June 12, 1999
and was extended to August 31, 1999. In the interim, on June 8, 1999, the
Electricity Law was amended and, as a result, extreme hydrological conditions
were no longer deemed to constitute force majeure. In addition, the amended
Electricity Law provided for the compensation of customers in the event of
electricity rationing occurring as a result of any hydrological event. There
is no maximum level of compensation. The amended Electricity Law also provided for the payment of fines by
electricity generators of up to a maximum amount of approximately US$5.2
million per breach resulting from inadequate supply to the electricity system.
In respect of the third rationing decree period Endesa-Chile paid US$2.3
million by way of compensation to customers in 1999. The amount paid was based
on the days and hours in which rationing actually occurred. Endesa-Chile
contested the payments on the grounds that their power purchase agreements with
the distribution companies, who in turn provide the electricity to the final
clients, were executed prior to the enactment of the amendment to the
Electricity Law and that the amendment could not be applied retroactively to
pre-existing contracts. Notwithstanding Endesa-Chiles position, the
regulatory authorities have asserted that the compensation payments made during
the third rationing decree were insufficient. Endesa-Chile has contested this
assertion. The Chilean courts are currently reviewing this case. Even if an
unfavorable decision is reached, it will not have material adverse consequences
on the Company. 103

Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries and related companies are parties to
legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business that are not
material to Endesa-Chiles consolidated results of operations, either
individually or in the aggregate. Endesa-Chile is currently evaluating legal
action that may be taken in response to the 1999 amendment to the Electricity
Law regarding the imposition of fines for non-provision of energy to the system
in drought conditions. Ralco Insurance Agreement In January 2002, AGF/Allianz Chile Compañïa de Seguros Generales S.A.
(AGF/Alianz) filed an arbitral claim against Endesa-Chile, requesting the
rescission of an insurance policy, which covers all construction and assembly
risks in connection with the construction of the Ralco hydroelectric facility.
AGF/Allianz claim is based on the existence of known risks, the aggravation of
known risks and Endesa-Chiles failure to provide information on the nature and
extent of the known risks. The arbitration court ruled in favor of
Endesa-Chile. In turn, Endesa-Chile filed an arbitral claim against
AGF/Allianz in January 2003 in connection with damages to the Ralco
hydroelectric facility resulting from floods in May 2001. The claim requests
that AGF/Alianz compensate Endesa-Chile approximately US$11.4 million for the
damages resulting from the floods. This US$11.4 million amount is based on the
opinion rendered by Endesa-Chiles loss adjuster. Endesa-Chile cannot predict
the result of this arbitration proceeding. Ralco Project On May 15, 2003, the Sixth Civil Court of Santiago issued its ruling in
relation to a lawsuit opposing the Ralco Project filed by a group of people
belonging to the Pehuenche ethnic group. The lower courts sentence concludes
that the voluntary procedure undertaken by Endesa-Chile for the assessment of
the environmental impact of the Ralco Project is null since, in the courts
opinion, CONAMA, the Environmental Government Agency, was not legally entitled
to assess the environmental impact study presented by the Company to CONAMA.
Both defendants, the Company and CONAMA, consider this questioning of the
legitimacy of the process is unjustified. The Resolution dictated by the Sixth
Civil Court of Santiago does not imply the suspension of the Project, which as
of the date of this annual report has achieved more than 80% completion. On May 30, 2003, the plaintiffs requested the suspension of the Ralco
Project, which was rejected by the court. Instead of suspending the entire
works related to the Ralco Project, the judge ruled that the flooding of the
dam should not proceed. In September 2003, the Company and the group of people belonging to the
Pehuenche ethnic group reached an extrajudicial settlement agreement ending all
the lawsuits initiated against the Ralco project, including the one of the
Sixth Civil Court of Santiago. This agreement was executed in October 2003. Transelec On March 10, 2003, in arbitration proceedings, HQI Transelec Chile S.A.,
the main owner of the SIC, presented a claim against Endesa-Chile in which it
requested Endesa-Chile to pay Ch$3.62 billion (approximately US$5.13 million)
by reason of additional tolls and the use of its transmission system in order
to supply power to four customers located in the Northern zone of the country. Endesa-Chile maintains the position that it is not required to make this
payment to HQI Transelec Chile S.A. for the aforementioned amount since,
pursuant to the agreements for the basic toll and the additional tolls with
that company in compliance with the legislation in force, such basic and
additional tolls for sections located in the zone of influence of its Northern
plants (Tal Tal, Diego de Almagro and Huasco) would be contrary to law if the
power flow were countercurrent. This is the case of such customers with which,
additionally, Endesa-Chile enters into agreements for uninterrupted supply and,
precisely for that supply, Endesa-Chile does not use the sections of the
transmission system which are subject to payment under Transelec. The
discussion period of the trial is over and the Court of Arbitration is
currently in the analysis stage. 104

On July 30, 2003 the Court of Arbitration ruled in favor of Endesa-Chile,
rejecting the lawsuit in all its parts. HQI filed all their claims against the
ruling of the Court of Arbitration and on May 10, 2004 the Court of Appeal of
Santiago confirmed the ruling of the Court of Arbitration. Resolution 88 On July 5, 2002, the Company submitted a petition to nullify Resolution 88
of the Ministry of Economics, which provided for a deviation in the Load
Dispatch Center of the SIC. Resolution 88 provides that a SIC power
distributor that has exhausted its power supply should be supplemented by all
SIC generators, according to their apportioned participation in the SIC, at the
regulated price (node price). The basis for the Companys petition was that
Endesa-Chile considered this resolution unconstitutional since it breaches the
right to property and violates the Companys freedom to contract energy. On
April 2004 the ruling declared was unfavorable for Endesa-Chile. The Company
has contested such ruling before the Court of Appeal. Proceedings for annulment and other actions presented by Punta de Lobos S.A.
against Endesa-Chile, Celta and others. Endesa-Chile holds a maritime concession in the zone of Puerto Patache in
Iquique, Chile that allows it to exploit Puerto Patache. The fixed assets on
Puerto Patache belong to Celta. Puerto Patache is principally used for the
unloading of coal, used as the fuel for Celtas thermal power plant annexed to
Puerto Patache. In August 2002, Endesa-Chile and its subsidiary Celta were notified of a
petition, in which Punta de Lobos S.A., requested to nullify the concessions,
transfers or any other legal actions undertaken by Endesa-Chile for the benefit
of Celta concerning the assets that Endesa-Chile holds in its maritime
concession in Puerto Patache. Punta de Lobos also requested the discontinuance
of the maritime concession granted to Endesa-Chile by the State of Chile.
Endesa-Chile and Celta responded to the petition arguing that since neither the
maritime concession nor the concession of the assets that are part of Puerto
Patache represent alienation acts and Endesa-Chile has complied with the laws
regulating maritime concessions, the requested discontinuance has no legal
validity. In 2003, Punta de Lobos initiated another suit against Endesa-Chile, Celta
and Terminal Marítimo Minera Patache S.A., principally requesting to nullify
the promise of sale of Puerto Patache by Endesa-Chile and Celta to Terminal
Marítimo Minera Patache S.A. agreed upon in November 2001. In February 2003,
Punta de Lobos filed another claim in order to impede new administrative
actions related to the sale of Puerto Patache. The sale has not been finalized
by an agreement due to a series of legal and administrative actions taken by
Punta de Lobos in an attempt to frustrate the transfer of the maritime
concession and Puerto Patache from Endesa-Chile and Celta to Terminal Marítimo
Minera Patache S.A. The three lawsuits filed by Punta de Lobos against Endesa-Chile and Celta
were initiated after the decision of Celta to abandon the request for bids for
the purchase of Puerto Patache, which occurred in November 2001. Punta de
Lobos and Terminal Marítimo Minera Patache, who are rivals in the world market
of salt, both placed bids for Puerto Patache. After such declaration, Celta
and Endesa-Chile initiated private negotiations with Terminal Marítimo Minera
Patache that ended in the execution of a promise of sale agreement subject to
certain conditions for the sale of Puerto Patache and the transfer of the
maritime concession. The contingency of the lawsuits is approximately US$15
million. Currently, due to the existence of precautionary measures and that
certain contractual conditions have not been met, the transfer of Puerto
Patache has not been able to be executed. Claim by Minera los Pelambres against Endesa-Chile In October 2003, Minera Los Pelambres (Los Pelambres) filed a claim
against us for alleged misrepresentations made by us in a purchase and sale
agreement entered into between Endesa-Chile and Los Pelambres on June 12, 2002,
regarding the power line between San Isidro and Los Piuquenes, which started
its operations in 1999. This purchase and sale agreement was entered into
pursuant to an option included in a pre-existing contract, between Los
Pelambres and Endesa-Chile, for the supply of electricity and power. Under the
terms of the original contract, which was entered into on October 28, 1996,
Endesa-Chile would build various structures to supply electricity to Los
Pelambres, including a power line between San Isidro and Los Piuquenes. Los
Pelambres had the option to buy these structures, and exercised that option in
the year 2000, one year after the line commenced 105

##### Table of Contents



its activities. Subsequently, in the year 2002 the purchase was
formalized, for a purchase price of US$ 32 million. Los Pelambres claims that
we made certain misrepresentations in the purchase and sale agreement as to the
function, design and construction of the power line. In November 2003, we filed an answer to Los Pelambress complaint, in
which we denied all of Los Pelambress claims. Endesa-Chile has argued that the
operational difficulties that the line has presented are due to climatic
reasons of force majeureand that the line is well designed and constructed in
accordance with the conditions of the bid that was prepared by Los Pelambres.
The lawsuit is currently in discovery. Los Pelambres claims it has suffered damages in the amount of
approximately US$22.8 million for costs it may incur to repair the line. It
also claims that Endesa-Chile should compensate them approximately US$6.5
million, which is the amount they believe they overpaid for the power line due
to our alleged misrepresentation as to its condition and construction. Argentina Stamp Tax for Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. and Endesa-Chile On March 27, 2001, Endesa-Chile was notified of the Resolution of the
administrative agency Dirección Provincial de Rentasin the Neuquén Province
against Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A.(TGN). This resolution was
related to the Stamp Tax charge of $13,943,572 Argentine pesos (including tax,
interests and penalties calculated on February 28, 2001). On April 5, 2001,
TGN filed an appeal before the Dirección Provincial de Rentaswhich effectively
suspended the obligation of the payment. On April 11, 2001, Endesa-Chile filed
an appeal to review the resolution and the process used by the Provinciato
determine the tax and apply the sanctions. On November 8, 2001 the Dirección
Provincial de Rentasnotified Endesa-Chile of Resolution 591/DPR/2001, which
required us to pay the sum of Ar$2,784,507.98 (this sum does not include
interests and penalties), for the concept of taxes for the two gas
transportation contracts executed by TGN and Endesa-Chile. On November 22,
2001 Endesa-Chile presented its response against this Resolution. The ruling
of the Dirección Provincial de Rentasis still pending as of the date of this
annual report. Brazil Drawback In 1998, CIEN received a fiscal incentive (Drawback) for the import of
goods and equipment for the construction of electrical transmission lines
between Brazil and Argentina with the suspension of federal taxes on imports
and industrialized products. This fiscal incentive covered goods and equipment
imported by March 31, 2001. Before that date, CIEN requested an extension in
order to include the import of goods and equipment still pending for inclusion
in the project. The extension of the term for the fiscal incentive was denied
and CIEN appealed against that decision administratively, and through the
courts, obtained a preliminary and provisional decision to ensure the extension
of the Drawback to import goods and equipment still required to complete the
project. Following the final communication of DECEX concerning the
non-extension of the drawback, CIEN presented other administrative proceedings
and obtained, through the court, the suspension and approval for the release of
equipment free of taxes, until the final administrative final decision.
However, it is very probable that the Ministry of Development will confirm the
cancellation of the benefit. In that event, CIEN will bring legal proceedings
to investigate the matter in more detail. A final decision against the
interests of CIEN could represent a contingency for CIEN of approximately
US$100 million. ICMS Fiscal Incentives Under legislation of the State of Rio de Janeiro in effect at the time
when the concession of the fiscal incentives (drawback) from federal taxes (as
stated in the previous point) was in effect, CIEN would have the right to
obtain drawbacks on imports of goods and equipment for the carrying out of the
electricity transmission line project between Brazil and Argentina, with a
suspension of tax (VAT) on the circulation of merchandise and services  ICMS
(state tax). 106

##### Table of Contents



In April 1999, CIEN obtained from the tax authorities of the State of Rio
de Janeiro the drawback related to the ICMS. However, this drawback was
cancelled in 2003 by a decree issued by the Legislative Assembly of the State
of Rio de Janeiro due to differences in legal interpretation regarding the
right of CIEN to avail itself of this incentive. Considering the mentioned
Decree in January 31, 2004 CIEN decided to integrate the REFERJ (State Tax
Restructuring Authority) and the total due amount (US$35,897,435.90) is being
paid beginning in January 2004 in 120 monthly installments. Class Action Suit Against COPEL and CIEN In 2001, a class action by the citizens of Paraná was brought against
CIEN, COPEL, the State of Paraná and its Governor, and the ANEEL (the Brazilian
electricity regulatory agency). The class action suit alleges, among other
things, that the power supply agreement with COPEL and CIEN was not properly
authorized. The group is seeking the nullity of the 1999 power supply contract
with COPEL and CIEN (currently 400MW) and the suspension of the privatization
of COPEL. If the group of citizens is successful the energy contracts between
CIEN and COPEL, which represent US$ 107 million in annual revenues for CIEN,
could be nullified. However, an early termination of this contract would allow
us to re-contract this energy. While the matter remains active, CIEN has yet to be summoned to appear in
relation to this class action. We believe that the possibility that a court
will nullify the power supply contract is extremely remote. Administrative Tax Demand for Federal Taxes In May 2003, CIEN was notified of an administrative tax demand brought by
the federal tax authorities for amounts supposedly due in relation to Imposto
de Renda Pessoa Jurídica  IRPJ, Programa de Integração Social  PIS,
COFINS and Contribuição Social sobre Lucro Líquido, incidents concerning
financial transactions and exchange fluctuations occurring in 1998 and 1999,
i.e. when CIEN was still in a pre-operating phase. CIEN has to present its defense in July 2003. According to the defense
lawyers and lawyers who gave legal opinions on the matter in 1998 and 1999,
there is a good probability of a decision favorable to CIEN. A final adverse
decision to CIEN would imply a contingency of approximately US$7 million. Legal Proceeding by CELG In April 2003, CELG, the sole customer of Endesa-Chiles Brazilian
subsidiary Cachoeira Dourada, was awarded a preliminary and provisional
judgment that permitted CELG to suspend its payments under a long-term take or
pay contract with Cachoeira Dourada. CELG has also claimed damages of
approximately US$250 million from 1997 to 2003 relating to this contract. On
July 4, 2003, the court presiding over the dispute ruled that CELG would be
required to make payments, until the final decision is ruled, to Cachoeira
Dourada at price ranges significantly lower than the R$61.63 per MWh amount
provided for under the current terms of the take or pay contract. Cachoeira
Dourada appealed this ruling, and obtained only a decision establishing that
CELG should make a deposit in court of the difference between the old price and
amount actually paid according to the July decision. The terms of this
contract provide for payments of approximately R$16.0 million per month of
which Cachoeira Dourada has received, up to the last day of December 2003,
approximately R$51.5 million, corresponding to less than half of the payments
due under the contract for the year.On June 16, the preliminary and
provisional judgment was revoked, which obliges CELG to pay 100% of the
payments due under the contract. CELG has petitioned for reconsideration of
this petition. A final unfavorable decision could mean that Cachoeira Dourada
would receive significantly lower payments from its only customer. Cachoeira
Dourada has not made provisions for the accounts receivable from CELG or CELGs
damages claim. If CELG were to prevail in its damages claim, it would have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations. In September 2003, another claim was filed by CELG against Cachoeira
Dourada in the amount of approximately R$357 million (which is approximately
US$120 million as of the date of this current report) seeking indemnity for
losses resulting from the energy rationing crisis in Brazil. CELG claims an
energy supply shortfall of 20% from the amount provided for in the supply
agreement between CELG and Cachoeira Dourada. Cachoeira Dourada was notified of
the proceeding and in November 2003 argued, among other things, that CELG has
already received tariff compensation for the supply shortfall pursuant to a
Rationing Agreement signed by certain 107

Brazilian energy companies, including Cachoeira Dourada. Although
Cachoeira Dourada expects a favorable decision, we cannot assure that it will
prevail in this proceeding. Demand for Annulment of Privatization of Cachoeira Dourada. A legal demand was made in 1997 against the State of Goiás and others
mainly requesting the annulment of the privatization of Cachoeira Dourada. We
were only notified of this demand in 2002. Cachoeira Dourada responded to the
demand by arguing that the demand was inappropriate, as it has challenged the
legality and legitimacy of the entire privatization process of Cachoeira
Dourada. Cachoeira Dourada also requested to remit the demand to the federal
court to decide whether ANEEL should become a party to these proceedings. The legal demand filed against Cachoeira Dourada did not call for a
specific compensation or damages award. Additionally, there is no legal
precedent that would enable us to estimate the potential liability. We are
currently awaiting the final decision on this matter and Cachoeira Douradas
expectation is to have success in this demand. Colombia Capacity Charge Resolution 077 of the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG), dated
November 8, 2000, amended Resolution 116/96 by declaring that the hydrological
conditions of the year 1992 (which was the driest year in recorded Colombian
history) will no longer be used as the basis for calculating the capacity
charge. Instead, the hydrological conditions of the last driest 12 years will
be used for purposes of this calculation. The hydrological series considered
in this manner have a very low energy contribution, resulting in a reduction of
the hydraulic generation used in the model for the calculation of the Capacidad
Remunerable Teórica(CRT) and benefiting the thermal generation. On December 4, 2000, Emgesa filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of
Antioquia, to prevent the CREG from carrying out the calculation of the
capacity charge, which was scheduled for December 22, 2000. Subsequently,
Emgesa and Betania asked to revoke CREG Resolution 077 of 2000 based on
violations of due process and the right of equality. Both requests were
rejected by the CREG in Resolutions 107 and 109 dated December 18, 2000.
Finally, on March 10, 2000, Emgesa and Betania presented an action for
annulment against CREG Resolutions 077 and 111 of 2000. As of the date of this
annual report, the Supreme Court of Antioquia has not resolved this action. On December 22, 2000, CREG calculated the capacity charge under the new
model for Emgesa and Betania.The Emgesa and Betania filed a lawsuit on April
30, 2001 before the Supreme Court of Antioquia seeking to reverse the new
calculation. The ruling of the court is still pending. In March 2002, CREG calculated the capacity charge under the new model for
Emgesa and Betania. The Emgesa and Betania filed a lawsuit on January 13, 2003
before the Supreme Court of Antioquia seeking to reverse the new calculation.
The ruling of the court is still pending. Every year the administrator of the electricity system (ASIC) estimates
the capacity charge for the following year. Emgesa and Betania petitioned ASIC
to revoke the estimates carried out for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
ASIC rejected all the requests for revocation. After that, both companies
filed lawsuits before the Supreme Court of Antioquia (32 lawsuits until the
present date) for the annulment of the resolutions adopted by ASIC. The
Supreme Court of Antioquia has not decided such actions. Emgesa S.A. Muña Class Action On August 16, 2001, approximately 4,000 inhabitants of the
Sibaté-Cundinamarca community filed a class action environmental claim before
the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca. This claim was based on the alleged
pumping of polluted waters from the Bogotá River to the Muña Reservoir for the
generation of electricity. The defendants are a group of public and private
entities, including Emgesa. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of
approximately US$1.108 billion. The plaintiffs allege that the pollution has
been occurring for several decades. It is important to note that Emgesa did
not begin generating energy in the Muña Reservoir until the end of 1997, when
it was incorporated. In addition, there is a separate claim seeking the
decontamination of the Muña Reservoir, which 108

may present an additional liability of US$3 to 5 million for Emgesa.
Moreover, Empresa de Energía Eléctrica de Bogotá, the previous owner of the
Muña Reservoir, was recently ordered by a judicial ruling to begin the
decontamination process of the Muña Reservoir, which may offset the amount of
damages Emgesa will be responsible for should the plaintiffs prevail in either
of these proceedings. Peru SUNAT Income Tax Assessment As a result of a tax audit, the Peruvian Tax Administration Superintendent
(SUNAT) initially assessed a US$86 million income tax claim against Edegel
relating to the 1996 spin-off that originated Edegel. This income tax claim
corresponds primarily to, among others, excessive tax depreciation for revalued
fixed assets. SUNAT based its assessment on the Seventh Transitory and Final
Provision of Law No. 27034, which repealed, as of the 1999 accounting period,
the option to depreciate the revaluation of fixed assets. In January 2002,
Edegel filed an objection to the assessment and concurrently commenced
arbitration proceedings against the Peruvian State, pursuant to its stability
agreement, in order to resolve the dispute initiated by the SUNAT assessment. Prior to the decision of the arbitrator, which ultimately favored Edegel
by deciding that Law No. 27,034 was not applicable, SUNAT ruled against Edegel
repealing its revaluation of its fixed assets. Edegel appealed this SUNAT
ruling in a petition to the Tribunal Fiscal on April 10, 2002. The Tribunal
Fiscal, adhering to the arbitration proceedings initiated by Edegel, ruled that
the SUNAT ruling was void. The Tribunal Fiscal ordered SUNAT to resolve the
disputed issues by taking into account the legal framework determined by the
arbitration and the criteria in Rule VIII in the preliminary Title of the
Ordered Unique Text of the Tax Code, if applicable, in its tax assessment. On July 10th, 2003 by an Intendance Resolution N°0150150000032 SUNAT
resolved the controversy and accepted some of Edegels claims. However,
regarding Rule VIII in the preliminary Title of the Ordered Unique Text of the
Tax Code, SUNAT determined that tax benefits granted by Law No. 26,283 and its
regulation (Supreme Decree No.120-94-EF) were not applicable to Edegel because
the 1996 spin-off was not real. Additionally, SUNAT objected to the market
value attributed to the fixed assets Edegel acquired from Talleres Moyopampa.
The Peruvian tax Authority claims a tax liability for the fiscal years 1996,
1997, 1998 and 1999 in the amount of Peruvian soles 555 million (approximately
US$159 million) in connection with, among other things, the 1996 spin-off that
created Edegel. On
August 1st, 2003, Edegel appealed SUNATs ruling (Intendance Resolution
N°0150150000032) to the Tribunal Fiscal. Furthermore, in September and November
2003 Edegel presented complementary written reports to Tribunal Fiscal in order
to reinforce its legal and economic position. On
November 14, 2003 Edegel accepted some of SUNATs claims and partially
paid approximately US$15 million. However, the most significant claims remain
in controversy (these include excessive tax depreciation for revalued fixed
assets, Rule VIII in the preliminary Title of the Ordered Unique Text of the
Tax Code and market value of acquired fixed assets). Finally, a hearing took place on December 10th, 2003, in where Edegel made
an oral presentation of its arguments. Currently, Tribunal Fiscal is evaluating
the case. Notwithstanding SUNATs initial tax claim reached US$86 million, given
that Tribunal Fiscals final position is unknown regarding the excessive tax
depreciation for revalued fixed assets, Rule VIII in the preliminary Title of
the Ordered Unique Text of the Tax Code, and market value of acquired fixed
assets, Edegel cannot predict an outcome. If the result is not favorable to
Edegel, it can appeal to the Court of Appeal (Corte Superior) and if such
decision is unfavorable to Edegel, it can appeal to the Supreme Court (Corte
Suprema). In such a scenario, the appeal process can last up to two and a half
years. Edegel believes that the Peruvian Tax Authority will not prevail in
this matter and is therefore, not making provisions for the amount asserted by
the Peruvian Tax Authority. 109

Dividend Policy As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by
unanimous vote of its issued Shares eligible to vote, Endesa-Chile must
distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of Endesa-Chiles
consolidated net income for each year (on a Chilean GAAP basis), unless and
except to the extent Endesa-Chile has carried forward losses. Subject to this
requirement, Endesa  Chiles dividend policy is proposed to the shareholders
at the annual regular shareholders meeting of Endesa  Chile, as is the policy
the board of directors intends to follow with respect to the payment of
dividends for that year. At such meeting, shareholders consider and, if in
order, approve the final dividend proposed by the board of directors in respect
of the prior years results. In each year since 1990, Endesa-Chile has declared as dividends 100% of
its net income. However, at the annual regular shareholders meeting held on
April 2001, the board of directors recommendation to change Endesa-Chiles
dividend policy to provide for dividends that amount to 30% of the net income
for 2000 was approved. The board of directors recommended this change because
much of the net income for 2000 did not represent recurring profits and the
retained earnings would reinforce the Companys financial position and provide
more funds for future projects. At the annual regular shareholders meeting held
on March 2004 the dividend policy to provide for dividends an amount to 30% of
the net income for 2003 was approved. Considerations that are relevant to a determination by the board of
directors to propose a dividend include current and projected operating
results, any applicable restrictions in Endesa-Chiles credit agreements and
any other relevant factors. Shareholders approval of a proposed dividend is
typically made subject to the boards ability to change the amount and timing
of the dividend if circumstances relating to any of the foregoing
considerations change subsequent to such shareholders approval. In addition,
because certain of the operations of Endesa-Chile are conducted through
subsidiaries, Endesa-Chiles ability to pay dividends depends, in part, on its
receipt of dividends from such subsidiaries. Currently, there are no
restrictions on the ability of Endesa-Chile or any of its subsidiaries to pay
dividends, other than customary legal restrictions limiting the amount of
dividends to net income and retained earnings and except for the following:
Endesa-Chile and its subsidiary Pehuenche may not pay dividends in excess of
net income adjusted for non-cash items in respect of any fiscal year
(utilidades liquidas y realizadas) plus any such amount retained from prior
periods; Edegel may not pay dividends in the case of default of certain loans;
Costanera is prohibited from paying dividends and inter-company interest,
undertaking capital reductions and repaying debt while certain debt is
outstanding; and Betania is restricted from paying dividends in the case of
default of certain loans, prohibited from repaying inter-company debt unless it
raises additional funds from the sale of assets or capital reduction of its
subsidiaries (Emgesa), and prohibited from paying inter-company interest if any
scheduled payment of the syndicated loan is due and not paid. The Company pays dividends to shareholders of record as of five business
days before the payment date. Holders of ADSs on the applicable record dates
will be entitled to participate in all future dividends. Dividends The table below sets forth, for each of the calendar years indicated, the
per share amounts of dividends paid by the Company when earned and the amount
of dividends paid per 30 Shares (one ADS represents 30 Shares) in U.S. dollars

1994 Offerings). Since the conclusion of the offerings in 1994, the ADSs
(each ADS representing 30 shares) have been traded in the United States on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol EOC. The ADSs are evidenced by
American Depositary Receipts, ADRs. The ADRs are outstanding under a Deposit
Agreement dated as of August 3, 1994 among Endesa-Chile, Citibank N.A. as
depositary, and the holders from time to time of ADRs issued thereunder. An
ADR may represent any number of ADSs. Only persons in whose names ADRs are
registered on the books of the depositary are treated by the depositary as
owners of ADRs. Endesa-Chiles outstanding notes are not listed on any exchange. The
notes are traded primarily in the over-the-counter market in the United States. The table below shows, for the periods indicated, annual, quarterly, high

    Chilean pesos per Share reflected nominal price at trade date. As of May 31, 2004, ADRs evidencing 13,590,955 were outstanding
(equivalent to 407,728,650 shares or 4.97% of the total number of issued
shares). It is not practicable for the Company to determine the proportion of
ADRs beneficially owned by US persons. The stock closed at US$11.82 on the last
day of trading in the New York Stock Exchange in 2003. B. Plan of distribution. Not applicable. C. Markets. The Santiago Stock Exchange was established in 1893 as a private company.
Its equity consists of 48 shares held by 46 stockholders as of the date of this
filing. As of December 31, 2003, 239 companies had shares listed on the
Santiago Stock Exchange. The Santiago Stock Exchange is Chiles principal
exchange and, for the year ended 2002, accounted for 76.7% of all equity traded
in Chile. Approximately 23.2% of equity trading was conducted on the
Electronic Exchange, an electronic trading market that was created by banks and
non-member brokerage houses. The remaining 0.1% of equity was traded on the
Valparaíso Exchange. Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money
market securities, gold and US$ are traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange. In
1991, the Santiago Stock Exchange initiated a futures market with two
instruments, U.S. dollar futures and Selective Shares Price Index, or IPSA,
futures. Securities are traded primarily through an open voice auction system,
a firm offers system or the daily auction. Trading through the open voice
system occurs on each business day in two sessions, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30
a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Santiago time, which varies from New York
City time depending on the season. The Santiago Stock Exchange has an
electronic trading system called Telepregón, which operates continuously for
high volumes from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on each business day.
On days in which auctions are scheduled, there are three times available for
such auctions, 11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. There are two share price indices on the Santiago Stock Exchange: the
General Share Price Index, or IGPA and the IPSA. The IGPA is calculated using
the prices of over 180 issues and is broken into five main sectors: banks and
finance; farming and forest products; mining; industry; and miscellaneous. The
IPSA is calculated using the prices of the 40 most actively traded shares. The
shares included in the IPSA are weighted according to the value of the shares
traded. As of December 31, 2003, Endesa-Chile was included in the IPSA. Shares of Endesa-Chile were first listed and began trading on the Bolsa de
Valores Latinoamericanos de la Bolsa de Madrid, or Latibex, as of December 17,
2001. One trading unit is the equivalent of 30 common shares (the same unit
conversion of 30:1 as an ADS) and the trading ticker symbol is XEOC. Trading
of our shares in the Latibex during 2003 amounted to 2,604,845 units, which in
turn was the equivalent of 20,307 thousand. The stock closed at  9.45
on the last day of trading in Latibex in 2003. D. Selling shareholders. Not applicable. 112

 Item 10. Additional Information A. Share capital. Not applicable. B. Memorandum and Articles of Association. Description of Share Capital Set forth below is certain information concerning our share capital and a
brief summary of certain significant provisions of our by-laws and Chilean law. General Shareholders rights in Chilean companies are governed by a companys
by-laws, which effectively serve the same purpose as the articles or
certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the
United States, and by the Chilean Companies Act. In addition, DL-3500, which
permits the investment by pension funds in stock of qualified companies,
indirectly affects corporate governance and prescribes certain rights of
shareholders. In accordance with the Chilean Companies Act, legal actions by
shareholders against us enforcing their rights as shareholders must be brought
in Chile in arbitration proceedings or at the option of the plaintiff before
the ordinary courts of Chile. The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the
Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, the Superintendency of Securities and
Insurance, or the SVS, under the Ley de Mercado de Valores No. 18045,or the
Securities Market Law, and the Chilean Companies Act. These two laws provide
for disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price
manipulation, and protection of minority investors. The Securities Market Law
sets forth requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers, and
outlines disclosure requirements for companies that issue publicly offered
securities. The Chilean Companies Act clarifies rules establishing publicly
held limited liability companies while eliminating government supervision of
private companies. On December 20, 2000, Law 19,705 was enacted, introducing
important amendments to the Chilean Companies Act and the Securities Market
Law. Among other things, it provides a new definition for publicly held
companies and new rules regarding change of control, tender offers,
transactions with directors, qualified majorities, share repurchase, directors
committee, stock options and derivative actions. Publicly held limited
liability companies are those with 500 or more shareholders, or companies in
which 100 or more shareholders own at least 10% of the subscribed capital,
excluding those whose individual holdings exceed such percentage, and all other
companies which are registered with the SVS, regardless of the number of their
shareholders. Endesa-Chile is a publicly held limited liability company. Reporting Requirements Regarding Acquisition or Sale of Shares. Under Article 12 of the Securities Market Law and Section II Circular 585
of the SVS, certain information regarding transactions in shares of publicly
held limited liability companies must be reported to the SVS, the Chilean stock
exchanges, and the Comisión Clasificadora de Riesgo, or the Risk Classification
Committee. Since the ADRs are deemed to represent the shares of common stock
underlying the ADRs, transactions in ADRs will be subject to these reporting
requirements and those established in Circular 1,375 of the SVS. Shareholders
of publicly held companies are required to report to the SVS, the Chilean stock
exchanges. 113

this intent to the market at least 10 business days in advance of the change of
control and, in any event, as soon as the negotiations for the change of
control have started. If the change of control shall occur by means of a
tender offer, the new provisions on tender offers will apply. Law 19,705 introduces a new chapter to the Securities Market Law,
establishing a comprehensive regulation on tender offers. The law defines a
tender offer as the offer to purchase shares of corporations which publicly
offer their shares or securities convertibles into shares and which offer is
made to shareholders to purchase their shares in conditions which allow the
bidder to reach a certain percentage of ownership of the corporation within a
fixed period of time. The new provisions apply to both voluntary and mandatory
tender offers. Register Endesa-Chile is registered with the SVS and its entry number is 0114. Corporate Object and Purpose Article 4 of our by-laws state that our corporate objective and purpose
is, among other things, to exploit the production, transportation, distribution
and supply of electric power, as well as to provide engineering consultancy
services, directly or through other companies, in Chile and abroad. Board of Directors Our board of directors is made up of nine members. Members of the board
are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders and are elected for a
period of three years at the end of which they will be re-elected or replaced. The nine directors elected at the shareholders meeting are those nine
individual nominees who receive the most votes. Each shareholder may vote all
of his shares in favor of one nominee or may apportion his shares among any
number of nominees. The compensation of the directors is set annually by the general meeting
of shareholders. Agreements entered into by Endesa-Chile in which one or more directors
have an interest or act as the representative of another person have to be
known to, and approved previously by, the board and have to be consistent with
usually prevailing market conditions. The resolutions taken by the board to
this effect have to be submitted to the next shareholders meeting by the
Chairman, and have to be listed in the notice of that meeting as a matter to be
addressed at that meeting. 114

All agreements between Endesa-Chile and its majority shareholders, its
directors or executives, or related parties, need to be approved by a 2/3
majority of the board and must be recorded in the minutes of the board of
director meetings. Certain Powers of the Board of Directors Our by-laws do not contain provisions relating to:  
    
    the directors power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to
vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body;
    
    borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied;
    
    retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement; or
    
    number of shares, if any, required for directors qualification. Certain Provisions Regarding Shareholder Rights As of the date of the filing of this annual report, Endesa-Chiles capital
is comprised of only one class of shares, all of which are ordinary shares and
have the same rights. Our by-laws do not contain any provisions relating to:  
    
    redemption provisions;
    
    sinking funds; or
    
    liability to further capital calls by the Company. Under Chilean law, the rights of holders of stock may only be changed by
an amendment to the by-laws of the company that complies with the requirements
explained below under Shareholders Meetings and Voting Rights. Capitalization Under Chilean law, the shareholders of a company, acting at a special
shareholders meeting, have the power to authorize an increase in its capital.
When an investor subscribes for shares, the shares are officially issued and
registered in his name, and the subscriber is treated as a shareholder for all
purposes except receipt of dividends and for return of capital in the event
that the shares have been subscribed but not paid for. The subscriber becomes
eligible to receive dividends once he has paid for the shares, or, if he has
paid for only a portion of such shares, such subscriber is entitled to receive
a corresponding pro-rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such
shares unless the companys by-laws provide otherwise. If a subscriber does
not fully pay for shares for which he has subscribed on or prior to the date
agreed upon for payment, the company is entitled to auction the shares on the
stock exchange where such shares are traded and has a cause of action against
the subscriber for the difference, if any, between the subscription price and
the price received at auction. However, until such shares are sold at auction,
the subscriber continues to exercise all the rights of a shareholder, except
the right to receive dividends and return of capital. Authorized shares, and
issued shares for which full payment has not been made within the period fixed
by the special shareholders meeting at which their subscription was
authorized, which in no case may exceed three years from the date of such
meeting, are canceled and are no longer available for issuance. As of the date of this annual report, the capital subscribed for and fully
paid is Ch$1,050,193,846,268 through 8,201,754,580 shares. Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital The Chilean Companies Act requires Chilean companies to grant shareholders
the preemptive right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentage of such company whenever such company
issues new shares. 115




---



##### Table of Contents



Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are exercisable or freely
transferable by shareholders during the 30-day period following the granting of
such rights. During such 30-day period, and for an additional 30-day period,
publicly held limited liability companies are not permitted to offer any
unsubscribed shares to third parties on terms which are more favorable than
those offered to their shareholders, but they may be freely sold after the
30-day period following the granting of such rights to third parties on terms
less favorable for the purchaser than those offered to shareholders. At the
end of such additional 30-day period, a Chilean publicly held limited liability
company is authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third parties on any
terms, provided they are sold on one of the Chilean stock exchanges. Shareholders Meetings and Voting Rights A modification of Articles 1bis, 5bis, 16bis, 20 bis, 27bis, 32bis, 34bis,
35bis, 36bis, and 28bis of the by-laws requires the affirmative vote of 75% of
the shares eligible to vote. A regular annual meeting of our shareholders is held within the first four
months following the end of our fiscal year. The last regular annual meeting
was held on March 26, 2004. Special meetings may be called by the board of
directors when deemed appropriate or when requested by shareholders
representing at least 10% of the issued voting shares or by the SVS. To
convene a special meeting, or a regular annual meeting, notice must be given by
three publications in a prescribed manner in a newspaper of our corporate
domicile. The newspaper designated by our shareholders is El Mercurio de
Santiago. The first notice must be published not less than 15 days nor more
than 20 days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice must also be mailed
to each shareholder and given to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges. The
last special meeting of shareholders was held on March 31, 2003. Under Chilean law, a quorum for a shareholders meeting is established by
the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least a
majority of the issued voting shares of a company. If a quorum is not present
at the first meeting, a reconvened meeting can take place at which the
shareholders present are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the
percentage of the shares represented. The second meeting must take place
within 45 days following the scheduled date for the first meeting.
Shareholders meetings adopt resolutions by the affirmative vote of an absolute
majority of those shares present, or represented, at the meeting.
Additionally, if a shareholders meeting is called for the purpose of
considering:  
    
    a transformation of the company into a form other than a sociedad
anónima abierta(a publicly held limited liability company) under the
Chilean Companies Act, a merger or division of the company;
    
    an amendment to the term of duration or early dissolution;
    
    a change in the corporations domicile;
    
    a decrease of corporate capital;
    
    approval of capital contributions kind and assessment of assets that do not consist in money;
    
    modification of the authority reserved to shareholders or limitations on the board of directors;
    
    reduction in the number of members of the board of directors;
    
    disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation,
whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the
approval or the amendment of the business plan which contemplates the
disposition of assets for such amount;
    
    the form of distributing corporate benefits;
    
    issue of guarantees for third parties liabilities which exceed 50%
of the assets, but if the third party is a subsidiary of the company,
the approval of the board of directors is sufficient;
    
    the purchase of the corporations own shares; or 116


    
    Certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate by-laws. Regardless of the quorum present, the vote required for any of the above
action is a two-thirds majority of the issued voting shares. By-law amendments for the creation of a new class of shares, or an
amendment to or an elimination of those classes of shares that already exist,
must be approved by two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the affected
series. Chilean law does not require an publicly held Chilean company to provide
its shareholders the same level and type of information required by US
securities laws regarding the solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders
are entitled to examine the books of the company within the 15-day period
before the scheduled meeting. Under Chilean law, a notice of a shareholders
meeting listing matters to be addressed at the meeting must be mailed no sooner
than 15 days prior to the date of such meeting, and, in cases of a regular
annual meeting, shareholders must be sent an annual report of the companys
activities which includes audited financial statements. Limitations on the
distribution of annual reports are established for the SVS in Circular No.
1108. The Chilean Companies Act provides that, upon the request by shareholders
representing 10% or more of the issued voting shares, a Chilean companys
annual report must include, in addition to the materials provided by the board
of directors to shareholders, such shareholders comments and proposals in
relation to the companys affairs. Similarly, the Chilean Companies Act
provides that whenever the board of directors of an publicly held company
convenes a regular meeting of shareholders and solicits proxies for the
meeting, or circulates information supporting its decisions or other similar
material, it is obligated to include the pertinent comments and proposals that
may have been made by shareholders owning 10% or more of the companys voting
shares who request that such comments and proposals be so included. Only shareholders registered as such with Endesa-Chile at least five
business days prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote
their shares. A shareholder may appoint another individual, who need not be a
shareholder as his proxy to attend and vote on his behalf. Proxies for such
representation shall be given in writing for all the shares held by the owner.
Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders meeting shall
have one vote for every share subscribed. Each share of common stock entitles the registered holder thereof to one
vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders of the company.
There are no limitations on the right of nonresidents or foreigners to hold or
vote shares of common stock imposed by Chilean law or the companys by-laws.
However, the registered holder of the shares of common stock represented by
ADSs and evidenced by outstanding ADRs is the custodian of the Depositary,
currently Citibank N.A. (Chile), or any successor thereto. Accordingly,
holders of ADRs are not entitled directly to receive notice of meetings of
shareholders or directly to vote the underlying shares of common stock
represented by ADSs and evidenced by the ADRs. The Deposit Agreement contains
provisions pursuant to which the Depositary has agreed to solicit instructions
from registered holders of ADRs as to the exercise of the voting rights
pertaining to the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs evidenced by
such holders ADRs. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the Deposit
Agreement and receipt of such instructions, the Depositary has agreed to
endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under Chilean law and the
provisions of the by-laws to vote or cause to be voted (or grant discretionary
proxy to the Chairman of the Board of directors of the company or to a person
designated by the Chairman of the Board of directors of the company to vote)
the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs evidenced by such holder of
ADRs in accordance with any such instruction. The Depositary shall not itself
exercise any voting discretion over any shares of common stock underlying ADSs.
If no voting instructions are received by the Depositary from a holder of ADRs
with respect to the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs and
evidenced by such holders ADRs on or before the date established by the
Depositary for such purpose, the shares of common stock represented by the
ADSs, subject to limitations set forth in the Deposit Agreement, may be voted
in the manner directed by the Chairman of the Board of the company. Dividends and Liquidation Rights In accordance with Chilean law, we are required to pay cash dividends
equal to at least 30% of annual audited net income, calculated in accordance
with Chilean GAAP. If there is no net income in a given year, we may, but are
not legally obligated to, distribute dividends out of retained earnings. 117




---



##### Table of Contents



Any dividend in excess of 30% of net income may be paid, at the election
of the shareholder, in cash, in Endesa-Chiles shares or in shares of publicly
held corporations held by Endesa-Chile. Shareholders who do not expressly
elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have
decided to receive the dividend in cash. Dividends which are declared but not paid within the appropriate time
period set forth in the Chilean Companies Actas to minimum dividends, 30 days
after declaration; as to additional dividends, the date set for payment at the
time of declaration, are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of UF, a
Chilean inflation adjusted currency, from the date set for payment to the date
such dividends are actually paid. Such dividends also accrue interest at the
then prevailing rate for UFdenominated deposits during such period. The right
to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the
date such dividend is payable. In the event of a liquidation of Endesa-Chile, the holders of shares would
participate in the assets available in proportion to the number of paid-in
shares held by them, after payment of all creditors. Approval of Financial Statements The board of directors is required to submit Endesa-Chile financial
statements to the shareholders annually for their approval. If the
shareholders by a vote of a majority of shares present (in person or by proxy)
at the shareholders meeting reject the financial statements, the board of
directors must submit new financial statements no later than 60 days from the
date of such meeting. If the shareholders reject the new financial statements,
the entire board of directors is deemed removed from office and a new board is
elected at the same meeting. Directors who individually approved such
financial statements are disqualified for reelection for the following period.
Our shareholders have never rejected the financial statements presented by the
board of directors. Change of Control Our by-laws do not contain any provisions that would delay, defer or
prevent a change in control of Endesa-Chile. Under new Article 54 and Norma de
Carácter GeneralNo. 104 enacted by the SVS on January 5, 2001, any person who
directly or indirectly intends to take control of a company and who makes a
public offer for its shares must disclose their intent to the market at least
10 business days in advance of the change of control and, in any event, as soon
as the negotiations for the change of control have started. If the change of
control shall occur by means of a tender offer, the new provisions on tender
offers will apply. Acquisition of Shares There are no provisions in our by-laws that discriminate against any
existing or prospective holder of shares as a result of such shareholder owning
a substantial number of shares. However, no person may directly or indirectly
own more than 65% of the outstanding shares of our stock. The foregoing
restriction does not apply to the depositary as record owner of shares
represented by ADRs, but it does apply to each beneficial ADS holder.
Additionally, our by-laws prohibit any shareholder from exercising voting power
with respect to more than 65% of the common stock owned by such shareholder or
on behalf of others representing more than 65% of the outstanding shares
eligible to vote. Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares The Chilean Companies Act provides that upon the adoption of any of the
resolutions enumerated below at a special meeting of shareholders, dissenting
shareholders acquire the right to withdraw from the company and to compel the
company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms
and conditions. In order to exercise such rights, holders of ADRs must first
withdraw the shares represented by their ADRs pursuant to the terms of the
deposit agreement. Dissenting shareholders are defined as those who vote against a
resolution that results in the withdrawal right, or who if absent from such
meeting, state in writing their opposition to the respective resolution. The
price paid to a dissenting shareholder of a publicly held company, the shares
of which are quoted and actively traded on one of the Chilean stock exchanges,
is the greatest among (i) the weighted average of the sales prices for the
shares as reported on the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are
quoted for the two-month period preceding the 118

shareholders meeting giving rise to the withdrawal right, and (ii) the
market price resulting from the average price of transactions on such day. If,
because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and
sellers, the SVS determines that the shares are not actively traded on a stock
exchange, the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the book value.
Book value for this purpose shall equal paid capital plus reserves and
profits, less losses, divided by the total number of subscribed shares, whether
entirely or partially paid. For the purpose of making this calculation, the
last annual balance sheet is used, as adjusted to reflect inflation up to the
date of the shareholders meeting which gave rise to the withdrawal right. The resolutions that result in a shareholders right to withdraw include,
among others, the following:  
    
    the transformation of the company into an entity which is not
sociedad anónima abiertagoverned by Chilean Companies Act;
    
    the merger of the company with another company;
    
    disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation,
whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the
business plan which contemplates the disposition of assets for such
amount;
    
    issue of guarantees for third parties liabilities which exceed 50%
of the assets, but if the third party is a subsidiary of the company,
the approval of the board of directors is sufficient;
    
    the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an
amendment to the existing ones. In this case the right to withdraw
only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;
    
    certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate by-laws; and
    
    such other causes as may be established by a companys by-laws. 119

Investments by AFPs Title XII of DL-3500 permits Administradoras de Fondos y Pensiones,or
AFPs to invest their fund assets in companies that are subject to Title XII
and, subject to greater restrictions, in other companies. The determination of
which stocks may be purchased by AFPs is made by the Risk Classification
Committee. The Risk Classification Committee establishes investment guidelines
and is empowered to approve or disapprove those companies that are eligible for
AFP investments. Endesa-Chile has been a Title XII Company since 1987 and is
approved by the Risk Classification Committee. Title XII companies are required to have by-laws that limit the ownership
of any shareholder to a specified maximum percentage, and that certain actions
be taken only at a meeting of the shareholders and give the shareholders the
right to approve certain investment and financing policies. Registrations and Transfers The shares are registered by Endesa-Chile through an Administrative Agent
named Depósito Central de Valores S.A., Depósito de Valores. This entity is
responsible for Endesa-Chiles shareholders registry as well. In case of
jointly owned shares, an attorney-in-fact must be appointed to represent the
joint owners in dealing with Endesa-Chile. Foreign Investment Contract and Chapter XXVI In connection with our initial offering of ADSs in 1994, we entered into a
foreign investment contract (the Foreign Investment Contract) with the
Central Bank and the Depositary, pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act
and Chapter XXVI of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the
Central Bank (Chapter XXVI), which governed the issuance of ADSs by a Chilean
company. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract, the foreign exchange for
payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs may be purchased in either
the Formal Exchange Market or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments
must be necessarily remitted through the Formal Exchange Market. A new
Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations in force since April 19, 2001
eliminated Chapter XXVI. This Compendium was restated and has been in force
since March 1, 2002. As a result of the elimination of Chapter XXVI, there is
no longer assured access to the Formal Exchange Market. However, because the
Foreign Investment Contract was entered into pursuant to Chapter XXVI, the
principles of Chapter XXVI still apply to its terms. Foreign investors who have
purchased their shares under a Foreign Investment Contract pursuant to Chapter
XXVI continue to have access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of
converting Chilean pesos to US$ and repatriating from Chile amounts received
with respect to the deposited shares of common stock or shares of common stock
withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash
dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying shares of
common stock and any rights with respect thereto). The Foreign Investment
Contracts cannot be modified or terminated without consent of all parties, and
therefore foreign investors who have purchased their shares under a Foreign
Investment Contract will continue to have access to the Formal Exchange Market.
However, foreign investors who did not deposit the shares of common stock into
our ADS facility will not have the benefits of our foreign investment contract
with the Central Bank but instead will be subject to the normal foreign
investment rules. The following is a summary of certain provisions which were contained in
Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, and which therefore remain
relevant. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract. Under Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank
agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any
investor not residing or domiciled in Chile who withdraws common stock upon
delivery of ADRs (such shares of common stock being referred to herein as
Withdrawn Shares) access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert Chilean
pesos into US dollars (and to remit such dollars outside of Chile), including
amounts received as:  
    
    cash dividends; 120

##### Table of Contents




    
    proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares subject to
receipt by the Central Bank of a certificate from the holder of the
Withdrawn Shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central
Bank) that such holders residence and domicile are outside Chile and a
certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or
securities firm established in Chile) that such Withdrawn Shares were
sold on a Chilean stock exchange;
    
    proceeds from the sale in Chile of rights to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock;
    
    proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of our company; and
    
    other distributions, including without limitation those resulting
from any recapitalization, as a result of holding shares of Common
Stock represented by ADSs or Withdrawn Shares. Transferees of Withdrawn Shares were not entitled to any of the foregoing
rights under Chapter XXVI. Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for
ADRs had the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that
certain conditions relating to redeposit were satisfied. Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in
connection with dividend payments was conditioned upon certification by us to
the Central Bank that a dividend payment has been made and any applicable tax
has been withheld. Chapter XXVI also provided that the access to the Formal
Exchange Market in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares or
distributions thereon was conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of
certification by the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such
Shares have been withdrawn in exchange for ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the
benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect thereto until such
Withdrawn Shares were redeposited. The Foreign Investment Contract provides that a person who brings foreign
currency into Chile to purchase shares of common stock with the benefit of the
Foreign Investment Contract must convert it into Chilean pesos on the same date
and has five banking business days within which to invest in shares of common
stock in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract. If
such person decides within such period not to acquire shares of common stock,
such person can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire US$, provided
that the applicable request is presented to the Central Bank within seven
banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos. Shares acquired as
described above may be deposited for ADRs and receive the benefits of the
Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of a
certificate from the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such
deposit has been effected and that the related ADRs have been issued and
receipt of a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the
benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited
shares of common stock. Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances
described above is not automatic. Pursuant to Chapter XXVI, such access
required approval of the Central Bank based on a request therefore presented
through a banking institution established in Chile. The Foreign Investment
Contract provides that if the Central Bank has not acted on such request within
seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved. In November 1995, the Central Bank amended Chapter XXVI to regulate
secondary offerings of ADSs by companies that have previously entered into a
Foreign Investment Contract. In accordance with the new regulations, we entered
into an amended Foreign Investment Contract in connection with its offering of
ADSs completed in February 1996 to comply with the rules in effect on the date
of Central Bank approval of the new issuance of ADSs. On November 16, 1999, the Central Bank issued new regulations which
amended Chapter XXVI. Among the amendments, Chapter XXVI required that foreign
currency that entered Chile pursuant to Chapter XXVI be converted into Chilean
pesos in the Formal Exchange Market, and the shares evidencing ADRs only be
paid in Chilean pesos. In addition, foreign currency required to remit the
proceeds of the sale of the underlying shares be acquired alternatively in the
Formal or in the Informal Exchange Market, although remittance of such amounts
necessarily was to be made through the Formal Exchange Market (i.e., through a
bank). On May 12, 2000, the rule that required that the invested capital remain
in the country for at least one year before being repatriated was eliminated. 121

Under current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be
changed unilaterally by the Central Bank. It is not certain, however, that
additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the
disposition of underlying shares of Common Stock or the repatriation of the
proceeds from such disposition could not be imposed in the future, nor can
there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions if
imposed. The Compendium and International Bond Issuances Chilean issuers may offer bonds internationally under Chapter XIV, as
amended, of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the Compendium),
issued by the Central Bank. Prior to September 17, 1998, foreign loans (including international bond
offerings) granted to individuals or companies in Chile were subject to a
mandatory deposit (encaje) of an amount equal to 10% (reduced from a prior
level of 30%) of the proceeds of the loan (or bond offering) in a one-year,
noninterest-bearing U.S. dollar account with the Central Bank (or to payment of
a charge to the Central Bank on the next working day after the date of
conversion of foreign currency into Chilean pesos in an amount equal to
interest on such deposit at the rate of the twelve-month LIBOR for U.S. dollar
deposits plus a market spread that currently approximates 4%). On September
17, 1998, the encajedeposit requirement was reduced to 0%, and on April 19,
2001, the encajewas eliminated. Despite this elimination, the Central Bank
may at any time reinstate the encaje. C.  Material contracts. None. D.  Exchange controls. The Central Bank is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies
and exchange controls in Chile. On January 23, 2002, the Chilean Central Bank approved a new Compendium of
Foreign Exchange Regulations that replaced the existing one. The new rules are
in effect since March 1, 2002. With these new rules, the Central Bank ends a process of gradual
deregulation of the foreign exchange market. This new Compendium enhances the quality of the information gathered by
the Central Bank with respect to monetary policies and exchange controls. The
Compendium incorporates the main regulations that modified the Compendium of
Foreign Exchange Regulations in April 1991. In other words, new cross-border
investing and financing decisions will no longer be subject to any restrictions
set forth in both Articles 42 and 49 of the Central Bank law such as:  
    
    the prior Central Bank authorization requirement for the entry of
capital associated with foreign loans, investments, capital
contributions, bonds and ADRs;
    
    the prior Central Bank authorization for capital remittances
associated with returns of capital, dividends, and other benefits
related to capital contributions, investments and prepayment of foreign
loans;
    
    the prior Central Bank authorization for the return of capital,
profits and other benefits associated with investments made by Chilean
residents abroad;
    
    the limitations to the special prepayment and acceleration clauses contained in foreign loans;
    
    the restrictions of minimum risk classification and the weighted duration for the issuance of bonds;
    
    the limitations with respect to the currencies in which external debt can be issued or contracted;
    
    the restrictions to the issue of ADRs; and
    
    the reserve requirement on funds coming from abroad (which was already 0%). 122

E.  Taxation. Chilean Tax Considerations The following discussion summarizes material Chilean income and
withholding tax consequences to beneficial owners arising from the receipt, the
exercise and/or the sale of ADS rights as well as from the purchase, ownership
and disposition of the shares and ADSs. The summary which follows does not
purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that
may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares or ADSs and
does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories
of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. Holders of shares
and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean
and other tax consequences of the ownership of shares, of ADSs evidenced by
ADRs. The summary that follows is based on Chilean law, all as in effect on the
date hereof, and is subject to any changes in these or other laws occurring
after such date, possibly with retroactive effect. Under Chilean law,
provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign
investors, only another law may amend the computation of taxable income for
Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and
collected. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and
regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the
provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively
against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations
and interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change their rulings,
regulations and interpretations prospectively. The discussion that follows is
also based, in part, on representations of the depositary, and assumes that
each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreements will be
performed in accordance with its terms. There is no income tax treaty in force
between Chile and the United States. As used in this annual report, the term foreign holder means either  
    
    in the case of an individual, a person who is not a resident in
Chile; for purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual holder is
resident in Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six
months in one calendar year, or a total of more than six months in two
consecutive fiscal years; or
    
    in the case of a legal entity that is not organized under the laws
of Chile, unless the shares, ADSs or Notes are assigned to a branch,
agent, representative or permanent establishment of such entity in
Chile. Taxation of Shares and ADSs Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions Cash dividends paid with respect to the shares or ADSs held by a foreign
holder will be subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld and
paid over by the company. A credit against the Chilean withholding tax is
available based on the level of corporate income tax actually paid by the
company on the income to be distributed; however, this credit does not reduce
the Chilean withholding tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases
the base on which the Chilean withholding tax is imposed. In addition, if the
company distributes less than all of its distributable income, the credit for
the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company is proportionately
reduced. On September 28, 2001, the income tax rate applicable to individuals
who are Chilean residents, and the Chilean corporate tax rate, were amended.
Until December 31, 2001, the corporate tax rate was 15%. As of January 1,
2002, the corporate tax rate was to 16%. As of January 1, 2003, the corporate
tax rate increased to 17%. At the same time, income tax rates applicable to
individuals who are Chilean residents were lowered and will continue to be
gradually decreased in the future. The example below illustrates the effective
Chilean withholding tax burden on a cash dividend received by a foreign holder,
assuming a Chilean withholding tax rate of 35%, an effective Chilean corporate
income tax rate of 17% and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the
company distributable after payment of the Chilean corporate income tax: Company taxable income

 Under Chilean income tax law, dividend distributions made in property are
subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends are
not subject to Chilean taxation. Dividends generally are assumed to have been
paid out of the Companys oldest retained profits for purposes of determining
the level of Chilean corporate income tax that was paid by the Company. For
information as to the retained earnings of the Company for tax purposes and the
tax credit available on the distribution of such retained earnings, see note 8
to our consolidated financial statements. Taxation on Sale or Exchange of Shares or ADSs Gains obtained by a foreign holder from the sale or exchange of ADSs, or
ADRs evidencing ADSs outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Taxation on shares acquired on or before April 19, 2001 Gain recognized on a sale or exchange of shares (as distinguished from
sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares) will be subject to both a
17% Chilean corporate income tax and the 35% Chilean withholding tax (the
former being creditable against the latter) if either the foreign holder:  
    
    has held the shares for less than one year since exchanging ADSs
for the shares; or
    
    acquired and disposed of the shares in the ordinary course of its
business or as an habitual trader of shares. In all other cases, gain on the disposition of shares will be subject to a
flat 17% Chilean corporate income tax but will not be subject to the 35%
Chilean withholding tax. Taxation on shares acquired after April 19, 2001 On November 7, 2001, the income tax law was amended in order to create a
tax exemption on capital gains arising from the sale of shares of listed
companies traded in the stock markets. Although there are certain restrictions
established in the amended income tax law, in general terms, the amendment
provides that in order to have access to the capital gain exemption: (i) the
shares must be of a public stock corporation with a certain minimum level of
trading in a stock exchange; (ii) the sale must be carried out in a Chilean
stock exchange, or in another stock exchange authorized by the SVS, or in a
tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, (iii)
the shares which are being sold must have been acquired in a stock exchange, or
in a tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law,
or in an initial public offering (due to the creation of a company or to a
capital increase), or due to the exchange of convertible bonds, and (iv) the
shares must have been acquired after April 19, 2001. The tax basis of shares received in exchange for ADSs will be the
acquisition value of the shares. The valuation procedure set forth in the
deposit agreement, which values shares at the highest price at which they trade
on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, will determine the
acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the conversion of ADSs into
shares and the immediate sale of the shares for the value established under the
deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in
Chile. 124

Taxation of Rights and ADS Rights For Chilean tax purposes, the receipt of rights or ADS rights by a foreign
holder of shares or ADSs pursuant to a rights offering is a non-taxable event.
In addition, there is no Chilean income tax consequences to foreign holders
upon the exercise or the lapse of the rights or the ADS rights. Any gain on
the sale, exchange or transfer of the rights by a foreign holder is subject to
a 35% Chilean withholding tax. Other Chilean Taxes There are no gift, inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the
ownership, transfer or disposition of ADSs by a foreign holder, but such taxes
will generally apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the shares by a
foreign holder. There are no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar
taxes or duties payable by holders of shares or ADSs. United States Tax Considerations The following discussion describes the material US federal income tax
consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ADSs or shares to a
beneficial owner that is, for US federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation; or other entity taxable as a
corporation; created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or
of any political subdivision thereof, or (iii) an estate or trust the income of
which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source. The discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States,
including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), final,
temporary and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all
as currently in effect or proposed, any of which is subject to change at any
time, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion deals only with our ADSs or shares held by you as capital
assets as defined in Section 1221 of the Code and does not address the tax
treatment to you, if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special
treatment under US federal income tax laws such as:  
    
    certain financial institutions;
    
    a dealer in securities or foreign currencies;
    
    a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method
of accounting for your securities holdings;
    
    an insurance company;
    
    a tax-exempt entity;
    
    a person subject to the alternative minimum tax;
    
    a person who will hold our ADSs or shares as part of a straddle,
hedging transaction or conversion transaction;
    
    partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for US
federal income tax purposes;
    
    a person that has a principal place of business or tax home
outside the United States, or a person whose functional currency is not
the U.S. dollar;
    
    a person who acquired our ADSs pursuant to the exercise of an
employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and
    
    a person owning directly, indirectly or by attribution 10% or more
of our capital stock. Moreover, the effect of any applicable U.S. state or local tax laws as
well as of any foreign taxing jurisdiction is not discussed herein. 125

In general, if you hold ADSs, you will be treated as the holder of the
underlying shares represented by those ADSs for US federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if you exchange ADSs for the
underlying shares represented by those ADSs. Unless otherwise stated, this discussion assumes that we are not, and will
not become, a passive foreign investment company (a PFIC) for US federal
income tax purposes, as described more fully below. This discussion also
assumes that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement
will be performed in accordance with its terms and that the representations
made by the Depositary regarding the pre-release of our ADRs are true. The US
Treasury has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released may
be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax
credits. Such actions would also be inconsistent with claiming the 15% rate
applicable to certain dividends received by non-corporate holders.
Accordingly, the creditability of Chilean taxes and the availability of the 15%
rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders described below
could be affected by actions taken by parties to whom ADSs are pre-released. Taxation of dividends To the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits
(as determined in accordance with US federal income tax principles),
distributions made in respect of our ADSs or shares (including amounts withheld
by us in respect of Chilean taxes) will be treated as foreign-source dividend
income to you and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
generally allowed to corporations under the Code. Under recently enacted
legislation, dividends received by noncorporate US holders on ADSs may be
subject to US federal income tax at lower rates (generally 15%) than other
types of ordinary income if certain conditions are met. US holders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of this new
legislation in their particular circumstances. Distributions in excess of
current or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a tax-free
return of capital to the extent of your basis in the ADSs or shares and as
capital gain thereafter, which will be long-term capital gain if you held our
ADSs or shares for more than one year. The amount of any distribution of
property other than cash will be the fair market value of the property on the
date of distribution. To the extent such distributions are taxable (as discussed above), you
will be required to include such distributions paid in Chilean pesos in a U.S.
dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the
date you actually or constructively received such dividends, regardless of
whether the pesos are in fact converted into U.S. dollar at that time. If you
hold shares, dividends and gains, if any, are treated as received on the date
you receive your distribution. If you hold ADSs, that date would be the date
on which the Depositary receives the distribution. If items received in pesos
are not converted into U.S. dollar on the day they are received, you may be
required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss (which will be US-source
ordinary income or loss, as the case may be) upon a subsequent sale or other
disposition of the pesos. Effect of Chilean withholding taxes Payments of dividends on our ADSs or shares to foreign investors are
subject to Chilean withholding taxes. For US federal income tax purposes, you
will be treated as having received the gross amount of any dividend paid,
including the net amount of Chilean taxes withheld by us and then as having
paid over the withheld taxes to the Chilean tax authorities. As a result, the
amount of dividend income includible in gross income for US federal income tax
purposes by you in connection with a payment of dividends will be greater than
the amount of cash actually received by you. However, subject to generally applicable limitations and restrictions, you
will be entitled to a credit against your US federal income tax liability, or a
deduction in computing your US federal taxable income, for the net amount of
Chilean income taxes withheld by us. You must satisfy minimum holding-period
requirements to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes
withheld on dividends. A foreign tax credit will be denied for foreign taxes
withheld on dividends in circumstances where you are under an obligation to
make related payments in connection with positions in substantially similar or
related property. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is
calculated separately for specific classes of income. For this purpose,
depending on your particular circumstances, dividends paid by us on our ADSs or
shares will generally constitute passive income or financial services
income. You are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the extent to
which you are entitled to foreign tax credits with respect to dividends paid on
our ADSs or shares. 126

Sale or other disposition Upon a sale or other disposition of our ADSs or shares, you generally will
recognize a capital gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to
the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and your adjusted
tax basis in the ADSs or shares. This gain or loss will be long-term capital
gain or loss if you held our ADSs or shares for more than one year on the date
of disposition. Capital losses are subject to limitations. Any gain or loss
will generally be US-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.
Certain gains recognized upon a sale or exchange of our shares or ADSs (except
for ADSs that are disposed of outside Chile) are subject to Chilean income
taxes. Due to generally applicable limitations and restrictions, those taxes
may not be creditable against your US federal income tax liability. You are
urged to consult your tax adviser to determine the extent to which you may be
entitled to foreign tax credits with respect to gains recognized upon sale or
exchange of our shares or ADSs. Passive Foreign Investment Company rules We believe that we will not be considered a PFIC for United States federal
income tax purposes for the 2003 taxable year. We believe that we have never
been a PFIC and that it is unlikely that we will become a PFIC in the
foreseeable future. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition
of a companys income and assets and the market value of its assets (including,
among others, less-than-25-percent-owned equity investments) from time to time,
and because it is unclear whether certain types of our income constitute
passive income for PFIC purposes, there can be no assurance that we will not be
considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any
taxable year during which you held an ADS or a share, certain adverse
consequences could apply to you. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during your holding
period, gain recognized by you on a sale or other disposition of our ADSs or
shares would be allocated ratably over your holding period for such ADSs or
shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other
exchange and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary
income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to
tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as
appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to
such taxable year. Further, any distribution in respect of our ADSs or shares
in excess of 125 percent of the average of the annual distributions on our ADSs
or shares received by you during the preceding three years or your holding
period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation as described above.
Certain elections (including a mark-to-market election) may be available to
United States persons that may ameliorate the adverse consequences of PFIC
status. Backup withholding and other reporting requirements Payments of dividends and other proceeds in connection with our ADSs or
shares by a US paying agent or other US intermediary will be reported to the
IRS and to you as may be required under applicable regulations. You will be
subject to United States backup withholding on these payments if you fail to
provide your taxpayer identification number to the paying agent and comply with
certain certification procedures or otherwise establish an exemption from
backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you
will be allowed as a credit against your United States federal income tax
liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.  F.

 Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates. These risks are constantly monitored and managed by the
company in coordination with Enersis, our parent company. The Companys board
of directors approves risk management policies at all levels. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. As a result, the Companys market risk is limited to
non-trading risks. Commodity Price Risk In our electricity generation business we are exposed to market risks
arising from the volatility of electricity, natural gas, and coal prices. In
order to manage these exposures, we enter into long-term contracts with
suppliers and customers. In Brazil and Argentina we also enter into contracts
to secure long-term supplies of electricity for our interconnection business
between Argentina and Brazil. All contracts that constitute commodity-price
sensitive instruments held as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 related to
electricity and were taken for purposes other than speculative trading. We are exposed to the volatility of natural gas prices in the Chilean and
Argentine markets. We manage our exposure to this commodity by securing
long-term contracts with our suppliers for terms that are expected to match the
lifetime of our generation assets. These contracts generally provide for us to
purchase gas at market prices prevailing at the time the purchase occurs. As
of December 31, 2003 and 2002 we did not hold any contracts classified as
either derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments related to natural gas. We are exposed to the volatility of coal prices in the Chilean and
Colombian market. We manage our exposure to this commodity by entering into
short-term contracts with our suppliers. We believe that our exposure to this
commodity is immaterial. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 we did not hold any
contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments, financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments related to coal. The following tables set forth certain information with respect to
electricity price-sensitive instruments issued or held by the Company as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002 differentiated by power market and company. These
electricity price sensitive-instruments are power forward contracts with
multiple delivery dates and require physical delivery. Net settlement is not
allowed for any of the contracts. Most contracts have optionality features in
quantities and prices with indexation clauses to factors such as inflation
indices, foreign currencies and natural gas prices in Argentina. In the
construction of these tables management makes assumptions using available
market data and pricing models. Inputs to pricing models include estimated
forward prices of electricity and natural gas, interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, inflation indices, transmission costs and others. These inputs become
more difficult to predict and the estimates less precise as the term of the
contract increases. As a result, fair values are highly dependent upon the
assumptions being used. Intercompany amounts have not been eliminated in the
following tables. 128

 Foreign Currency Risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-term
debt denominated in U.S. dollars. This risk is mitigated, as a substantial
amount of the Companys revenues are linked to the U.S. dollar either directly
or indirectly. As of December 31, 2003, Endesa-Chile had total consolidated
indebtedness of US$4.187 billion, of 130

which US$3.225 billion, or 77%, was denominated in U.S. dollars. For the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2003, our revenues amounted to US$1.550
billion of which US$422 million, or 27%, were denominated in U.S. dollars, and
US$598 million, or 39% were linked in some way to the U.S. dollar. As an
aggregate, 66% of our consolidated revenues were either in U.S. dollars or
correlated to such currency through some form of indexation. On the other
hand, the equivalent of US$77 million were revenues in pesos, which represents
5% of our 2003 consolidated revenues. Although the actual foreign currency exchange risk to which we are exposed
depends upon the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in which monetary assets
and liabilities are maintained as compared to the Chilean peso, for accounting
purposes our results from operations are affected by variations in the exchange
rate between the U.S. dollars and the Chilean peso due to the applications of
Technical Bulletin No. 64. Under Chilean accounting standards, the effect of
re-measuring many of the Chilean peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations
is recorded in equity net of any price level restatement due to the effects of
Chilean inflation on such foreign investment amounts. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in the results of
operations for the period together with price-level restatement. As of December 31, 2003 the recorded values for financial accounting
purposes and the corresponding fair values of the significant financial
instruments, which expose the Company to foreign currency risk, are as follows: As of December 31, 20032004

effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2003. Based on this evaluation, Endesa-Chiles Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that Endesa-Chiles disclosure controls and
procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level for gathering,
analyzing and disclosing the information Endesa-Chile is required to disclose
in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Endesa-Chiles management
applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and
procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance
regarding managements control objectives. There have been no significant changes in Endesa-Chiles internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual
report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. 132

 Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile) and subsidiaries: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endesa-Chile
and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial
statement Schedule 1  Condensed financial information. These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the consolidated financial
statements of certain subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets
representing 40.06 percent and 49.61 percent as of December 31, 2002 and 2003,
respectively, and total revenues representing of 31.93 percent and 39.38
percent for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. We also
did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for
under the equity method, which represented total assets of 0.87 percent and
1.07 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively,
and net income representing 61.23 percent and 14.87 percent of the consolidated
net income for the years then ended, respectively. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities, is
based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries
at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in Chile, which differ in certain respects from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (see Note 34 to
the consolidated financial statements). Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.  ERNST & YOUNG LTDA.

that the severe changes made by the Argentinean Government to the economic

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders of
Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. We have audited the consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity and
cash flow of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Subsidiaries for the
year ended December 31, 2001 (not presented separately herein). These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements for 2001 of
Endesa Argentina, S.A. and Endesa Colombia, S.A. which income statements
reflect total consolidated revenues on both a Chilean GAAP and a US GAAP basis
constituting 41.92% as of December 31, 2001. Those financial statements were
audited by other auditors, one of whom was a member firm of a worldwide
organization that has ceased operations, and another who has ceased to exist,
whose reports have been furnished to us. The report of the other auditors over
the 2001 financial statements of Endesa Argentina S.A. expressed an unqualified
opinion and includes emphasis paragraphs expressing the uncertainty on the
Argentinean subsidiaries capacity to meet their obligations and continue
operations, and discussing the major effects that the severe changes made by
the Argentinean Government to the economic model and to the International
Exchange Law that had been in force since 1991 might have on the companies.
Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those companies
for the year ended December 31, 2001, is based solely on the reports of such
other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, the
statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows of Empresa Nacional
de Electricidad S.A. and subsidiaries referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the results of their operations, shareholders equity and
their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Chile. F-8

|1. |  | We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of ENDESA
    ARGENTINA S.A. (the Company) and its subsidiaries
    ENDESA BRASIL PARTICIPACOES LTD., HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A.,
    HIDROINVEST S.A. and CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. as of
    December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
    statements of income and cash flows for the years then ended,
    not presented separately herein, all expressed in thousands of
    constant Chilean pesos. Those financial statements are the
    responsibility of the Companys Management. Our
    responsibility is to express an opinion on those financial
    statements based on our audits.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|  
|2. |  | We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
    auditing standards in the United States of America. Those
    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
    free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
    test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
    the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
    accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
    Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
    statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
    reasonable basis for our opinion.

|3. |  | As described in note 38 to the financial statements referred to
    above (not presented separately herein), in the last few months,
    a deep change has been implemented in the economic framework of
    Argentina as well as in the Convertibility Law that was in place
    since March 1991. The main consequences of the set of measures
    adopted by the Argentine Federal Government, which are detailed
    in the above mentioned note, have been (a) the devaluation of
    the Argentine peso with respect to the US dollar and
    de-dollarization of certain assets and liabilities in foreign
    currency held in the country; (b) de-dollarization of
    utilities rates previously agreed upon in U.S. dollars and
    subsequent renegotiation in each particular case; (c) the
    implementation of restrictions on the withdrawal of funds
    deposited with financial institutions; (d) the restriction
    on transfers abroad on account of financial loan principal
    service and dividend distributions without prior authorization
    from the Central Bank; and (e) the increase in domestic
    prices. The future development of the economic crisis may
    require further measures from the Argentine Federal Government.
    The above mentioned financial statements, should be read taking
    into account the issues mentioned above.                                                                                                                                                  
|  
|4. |  | In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
    to above (not presented separately herein) present fairly, in
    all material respects, the financial position of ENDESA
    ARGENTINA S.A. and its subsidiaries ENDESA BRASIL PARTICIPACOES LTD., HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A., HIDROINVEST S.A. and
    CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
    and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
    year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
    accounting principles in Chile.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|  
|5. |  | As described in note 15 to the financial statements referred to
    above (not presented separately herein), as of the date of
    issuance thereof, HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A. has been unable
    to repay yet past-due corporate bonds amounting to about USD
    140 million. In addition, as mentioned in Note 28.2 to the
    above mentioned financial statements, as of December 31,
    2001, CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. does not meet a financial ratio
    required by the syndicated bank loan agreement, recorded under
    current liabilities in the amount of about CLP
    62,240 million. Considering that this represents a breach
    of contractual provisions for this loan and for other loans with
    cross-default clauses, the lenders are entitled to demand
    accelerated repayment. As of December 31, 2001
    HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A., HIDROINVEST S.A. and CENTRAL
    COSTANERA S.A. have negative working capital, which creates
    substantial doubt, among others, on the ability to pay their
    obligations. In addition, due to the negative exchange rate
    difference derived from devaluation mentioned in note 38 to the
    above mentioned financial statements, ENDESA ARGENTINA S.A. and
    CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. could enter into the mandatory
    dissolution for loss of capital stock, as provided for by the
    Business Associations Law No. 19,550, which creates substantial
    doubt, among others, on the continuity of the operations of
    these Companies.
|  
|   |  | The continuity of the operations of ENDESA ARGENTINA S.A.,
    HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A., HIDROINVEST S.A., and CENTRAL
    COSTANERA S.A. will depend on their ability to pay their
    obligations and the ability of ENDESA ARGENTINA S.A. and CENTRAL
    COSTANERA S.A. to restore its capital stock. The financial
    statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that
    ENDESA ARGENTINA S.A., HIDROELECTRICA EL CHOCON S.A.,
    HIDROINVEST S.A., and CENTRAL COSTANERA S.A. will continue as
    going concerns, therefore, the financial statements referred to
    above do not include any adjustments that might result from the
    outcome of these uncertainties.

(Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish-



To the Shareholders of



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Endesa de Colombia S.A. and Subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2000 and 2001 and
the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2001, all expressed in thousands of constant Chilean pesos.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Endesa de Colombia S.A. and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
Chile.

Endesa-Chile and
SubsidiariesNotes to the Audited Consolidated Financial
StatementsTranslation of financial statements originally issued
in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 1. Description of Business: Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile or the Company) is an
electric generation and transmission company domiciled in Chile. It is a
publicly traded company, regulated by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities
and Insurance (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros or SVS) as well as by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since issuing
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in 1994. As of December 31, 2003 the Companys only subsidiary that is regulated by the
SVS is Empresa Eléctrica Pehuenche S.A. (Pehuenche S.A.). The Company is a subsidiary of Enersis S.A., which held 60% of the shares as of
December 31, 2003. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: a. General: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile and the
regulations established by the SVS (collectively Chilean GAAP). Certain
accounting practices applied by the Company that conform with accounting
principles generally accepted in Chile do not conform with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). Certain amounts
in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
the current years presentation. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In certain cases generally accepted accounting principles require that assets
or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value
is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold or the amount at which
a liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Where available,
quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for the
measurement; however, where quoted market prices in active markets are not
available, the Company has estimated such values based on the best available
information, including using modeling and other valuation techniques. The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of
operations of Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in companies
in the development stage are accounted for using the equity method, except that
income or losses are included directly in equity instead of being reflected in
the Companys consolidated statement of income. The Company consolidates the
financial statements of companies in which it controls over 50% of the voting
shares, provided there are no substantive minority participating rights that
prevent control, as detailed as follows: F-18

 b) Constant currency restatement: The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Chilean Consumer
Price Index (CPI) for the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 was
approximately 7.25%. Chilean GAAP requires that the financial statements be restated to reflect the
full effects of changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean peso on the
financial position and results of operations of reporting entities. The method
described below is based on a model that enables calculation of net inflation
gains or losses caused by monetary assets and liabilities exposed to changes in
the purchasing power of local currency. The model prescribes that the
historical cost of all non-monetary accounts be restated for general
price-level changes between the date of origin of each item and the year-end. The financial statements of the Company have been price-level restated in order
to reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the Chilean
currency during each year. All non-monetary assets and liabilities, all equity
accounts and income statement accounts have been restated to reflect the
changes in the CPI from the date they were acquired or incurred to year-end
(see also Note 22). The resulting gain or loss included in net income reflects the effects of
Chilean inflation on the monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company. The restatements were calculated using the official consumer price index of
the National Institute of Statistics and based on the prior-month rule, in
which the inflation adjustments are based on the CPI at the close of the month
preceding the close of the respective period or transaction. This index is
considered by the business community, the accounting profession and the
Chilean government to be the index that most closely complies with the
technical requirement to reflect the variation in the general level of prices
in Chile, and consequently it is widely used for financial reporting purposes. F-20

 The above-mentioned price-level restatements do not purport to represent
appraisal or replacement values and are only intended to restate all
non-monetary financial statement components in terms of local currency of a
single purchasing power and to include in net income or loss for each year the
gain or loss in purchasing power arising from the holding of monetary assets
and liabilities exposed to the effects of inflation. Index-linked assets and liabilities Assets and liabilities that are denominated in index-linked units of account
are stated at the year-end values of the respective units of account. The
principal index-linked unit used in Chile is the Unidad de Fomento(UF),
which is adjusted daily to reflect the changes in Chiles CPI. Certain of the
Companys investments are linked to the UF. As the Companys indexed
liabilities exceed its indexed assets, the increase in the index results in a
net loss. Values for the UF are as follows (historical Chilean pesos per UF): Ch$December 31, 2001

    In the years prior to December 31, 2001, the Argentine peso had
been pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 1 Argentine peso to 1 US
dollar. In early December 2001, restrictions were put in place that
prohibited cash withdrawals above a certain amount and foreign money
transfers, with certain limited exceptions. While the legal exchange
rate remained at 1 peso to 1 US dollar, financial institutions were
allowed to conduct only limited activity due to these controls, and
currency exchange activity was effectively halted except for personal
transactions in small amounts. In January 2002, the Argentine
government announced its intent to create a dual currency system with
an official fixed exchange rate of 1.4 pesos to 1 US dollar for
import, and export transactions and a free floating exchange rate
for other transactions. On January 11, 2002, the exchange rate market
holiday ended and closing new free floating exchange rates ranged
from 1.6 to 1.7 pesos to 1 US dollar notwithstanding the official
foreign exchange rate as of December 31, 2001, in accordance with SVS
Circular No. 81. The conversion of Argentine subsidiary financial
statements reflect the observed rates of exchange of 2.94 pesos to 1
US dollar as of December 31, 2003. F-23

(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: d) Time deposits and Marketable securities: Time deposits are presented at cost plus accrued interest and UF indexation
adjustments, as applicable. Marketable securities consist primarily of mutual
funds and are stated at market value. e) Accounts receivable and Allowance for doubtful accounts: Accounts receivable are classified as current or long-term, depending on their
collection terms. Current and long-term trade accounts receivable, notes
receivable and other receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful
accounts (see Note 5). The Company establishes its allowance for doubtful
accounts based on the aging of the accounts and prior experience with specific
accounts. Long-term receivables bear an immaterial imputed interest. f) Inventories: Inventories primarily include fuels for the generation of electricity and are
valued at the lower of price-level restated average cost or net realizable
value. Inventories are presented net of a provision for obsolescence. g) Property, plant and equipment: Until 1980, property, plant and equipment were previously valued at net
replacement cost as determined by the Chilean Superintendency of Electricity
and Fuels adjusted for price-level restatement in accordance with Decree Law
N° 4 of 1959. Property, plant and equipment are currently shown at contributed amounts or
cost, as appropriate, plus price-level restatement. The interest cost on debt
directly obtained in the construction projects is capitalized during the period
of construction. Costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred
unless such costs increase the useful life or productivity of the related
assets, in which case the costs are capitalized when incurred. In 1986, an increase based upon a technical appraisal of property, plant and
equipment was recorded in the manner authorized by the SVS in Circulars No.s
550 and 566 dated October 15 and December 16, 1985, respectively, and
Communication No. 4790, dated December 11, 1985. Property, plant and equipment received in leasing which qualify as capital
leases, are accounted for as a purchases of fixed assets at the amount of the
total of the lease obligation and interest expense on an accrual basis. Assets
obtained under financial contracts are not the legal property of the Company
until it decides to exercise the related purchase option. Therefore, the
Company cannot freely dispose of them. In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has evaluated the recoverability
of its foreign investments as required by Technical Bulletins No. 33 and No. 42
of the Chilean Association of Accountants. It is the Companys policy, when
evidence exists of an other than temporary impairment of fixed assets, such
that the Companys operations are not expected to produce sufficient net cash
flows, on a discounted basis, to recover all fixed asset costs, including
depreciation, that the book values of those assets must be reduced to their net
realizable values with a charge to non-operating expense. The Company has not
identified impairments in the net book values of its property, plant and
equipment; however, an impairment of goodwill and negative goodwill was
identified during the end of 2002 (see Note 12). F-24

the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Depreciation expense was ThCh$ 187,274,592, ThCh$ 197,817,210 and ThCh$

equity method. This accounting method recognizes in income the Companys
proportionate share in the net income or loss of each investee on the accrual
basis (Note 10). Investments in foreign affiliates are recorded in accordance with Technical
Bulletin No. 64 of the Chilean Association of Accountants (see Note 2(j)). Investments in other companies are presented at acquisition cost adjusted for
price-level restatement. j) Foreign investments: Under Technical Bulletin No. 64 of the Chilean Association of Accountants,
investments in foreign subsidiaries and equity method investees are price-level
restated, the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of
the foreign exchange gains or losses between the Chilean peso and the US dollar
on the foreign investment measured in US dollars, are reflected in equity in
the account Cumulative Translation Adjustment. k) Other intangibles: Intangibles, other than goodwill, correspond primarily to easements and rights
for the use of waterways and are amortized over periods not exceeding 40 years
in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 55 of the Chilean Association of
Accountants. l) Goodwill and negative goodwill: Goodwill and negative goodwill are determined according to Circular No. 368 of
the SVS based on differences between the purchase price and the recorded book
values of the company acquired at the effective acquisition date. Amortization
is determined using the straight-line method, considering the nature and
characteristic of each investment, foreseeable life of the business and
investment return, and does not exceed 20 years. The Company has evaluated the recoverability of its recorded goodwill and
negative goodwill in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 56 and Statement
of International Accounting Standard No. 36 (IAS No. 36) Impairment of
Assets. F-25

Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: m) Revenue recognition: Revenues are recognized at the time energy is supplied to the customer and
collectibility is reasonably assured. Energy supplied and unbilled at each
year-end is valued at the selling price using the current rates and has been
included in revenue from operations. The unbilled amount is presented in
current assets as trade receivables and the corresponding cost is included in
cost of operations. The Company recognizes revenue generated from engineering
and inspection services and highway tolls at the time the related services are
provided. n) Income tax and deferred income taxes: The Company records income taxes in accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 60
and complementary technical bulletins thereto issued by the Chilean
Association of Accountants, and with Circulars No. 1466 and No. 1560 issued by
the SVS, recognizing, using the liability method, the deferred tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial and tax values of assets and
liabilities. As a transitional provision at the date of adoption, a contra
asset or liability has been recorded offsetting the effects of the deferred
tax assets and liabilities not recorded prior to January 1, 2000. Such contra
asset or liability must be amortized to income over the estimated average
reversal periods corresponding to the underlying temporary differences to
which the deferred tax asset or liability relates calculated using the tax
rates to be in effect at the time of reversal. For the years ended December
31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company recorded current tax expense according to
the tax laws and regulations within each country of ThCh$ 28,365,764, ThCh$
40,086,586 and ThCh$ 50,161,138, respectively. A provision for the Article 21
tax of the Income Law (Impuesto Unico del Art. 21 de la Ley de la Renta) has
also been made in the amount of ThCh$ 40,186, ThCh$ 108,851 for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and a benefit for the Article 21 tax of ThCh$
74,702 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2003. o) Accrued vacation expense: In accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 47 issued by the Chilean Association
of Accountants, employee vacation expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. p) Severance indemnity: The severance indemnity that under collective bargaining agreements the Company
is obliged to pay to its employees who have completed 15 years of service is
stated at the present value of the benefit under the vested cost method,
discounted at 9.5%. The value of the obligation is calculated based on an
average employment span of 35 years for employees with 15 years or more service
and includes 75% of the benefit related to employees with less than the
required 15 years. q) Pension and post-retirement benefits: Pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded in accordance with the
respective employee collective bargaining agreements based on the actuarially
determined projected benefit obligation using a discount rate of 9.5% less an
asset for the unrecognized transition obligation. The asset was recorded in
1999 as a deferred charge when the Company for the first time accounted for
pensions and post-retirement benefits using the actuarial method and is being
amortized over 5 years. F-26

(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: s) Bonds: Bonds payable are recorded at the face value of the bonds. The difference
between the face value and the placement value, equal to the premium or
discount, is deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds (see Note 17).
Discounts on the bond issuances of Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries deferred
over the term of the respective bonds amounted to ThCh$ 12,189,522 and ThCh$
13,559,306 as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, presented in Other
assets. t) Financial derivative contracts: As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company has forward contracts, currency
swaps, and interest swaps and collars with various financial institutions,
which are recorded according to Technical Bulletin No. 57 of the Chilean
Association of Accountants. Forward foreign exchange contracts gains and losses
are recorded at estimated fair value with certain gains and losses deferred
until settlement if the instrument qualifies as a hedge and is included in
earnings as Other non-operating income and expense. u) Research and development costs: Costs incurred in research and development by the Company which are general in
nature (water-level studies, hydroelectric research, seismic-activity surveys)
are expensed as incurred. Studies related to specific and approved construction
projects are capitalized. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and
2003 no such costs were incurred. v) Computer software: The Company has deferred the costs of purchased computer software packages,
which are being amortized over a period of three years. w) Cost of sales and Administrative and selling expenses: The cost of sales line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income includes
the cost of: purchased energy and power, materials and fuel used in our
operations, tolls, energy transportation, direct production salaries,
depreciation, amortization, and maintenance of productive assets and other
costs of operations. The administrative and selling expense line item in the
Consolidated Statements of Income includes the cost of: general administration
of the company, office supplies and materials, overhead salaries, the allowance
for doubtful accounts, amortization and depreciation of assets that are not
used in the production process. x) Cost recovery: The Company has not recognized any assets for expected recoveries, through
insurance or from others, related to litigation and other legal actions, in
the periods presented. The Company records such recoveries only in the case
that it is virtually certain such recoveries will be realized. In the case
that the Company does record expected recoveries, the Companys policy is to
record such amounts as an asset in our consolidated balance sheet, unless a
right of offset clearly exists. F-28

    Property, plant and equipment, continued: Recoverability of property, plant and equipment: The Company periodically analyzes the recoverability of its recorded book
values of its property, plant and equipment, including property, plant and
equipment held by the Companys subsidiaries in countries outside of Chile
where property, plant and equipment is measured into US dollars. The analyses
consist in evaluating the recoverability of the Companys property, plant and
equipment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying
amounts of such assets recorded by the Company in these companies, in
accordance with Chilean GAAP. These analyses differ from impairment testing
performed for goodwill (see note 12). The result of these analyses determined
that no adjustments were required to the net book values of the property, plant
and equipment of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003. F-39

    In accordance with Technical Bulletin No. 64 of the Chilean Association
of Accountants for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company
has designated long-term liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as
hedges against net investments in foreign countries, when the functional
currency of those investments is the same currency in which the liability
is denominated. The Company recorded foreign exchange gains and losses on
those liabilities as cumulative translation adjustments in shareholders
equity, and in this way, they act as economic hedges of the exchange risk
affecting the investments. To the extent that liabilities exceed the
total investment, the gain or loss on the ineffective portion of the
hedging liability is recorded in current income. As of December 31, 2003
the corresponding investments and associated liabilities are as follows: Reporting

    Goodwill and Negative Goodwill, continued:  (1)
    
    An analysis of the recoverability of the net goodwill balance (goodwill
less negative goodwill) associated with investments in and outside Chile
was performed in accordance with IAS No. 36 Impairment of Assets,
following the guidance in Technical Bulletin No. 56 issued by the Chilean
Association of Accountants. The results of this analysis showed that the
goodwill and negative goodwill associated with investments made in
Argentina and Brazil were 100% impaired as of December 31, 2002, due to
the finding that the future discounted cash flows expected to be produced
from the investees in those countries was not sufficient to offset the
recovery of recorded goodwill and negative goodwill.Endesa-Chile recorded a charge to income of ThCh$62,772,793, which is
recorded in amortization of goodwill and amortization of negative goodwill
in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31,
2002. The amount recorded by the Company on a consolidated basis, net of the
effect of minority interests, was a net charge to income of ThCh$56,671,291.An analysis of the recoverability of goodwill and negative goodwill
associated with investments in and outside Chile performed as of December
31, 2003 did not resulted in any impairment.13.

Endesa-Chile and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 28. Commitments and contingencies, continued:  Litigation and other legal actions:The Company is party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of its business. Management considers it unlikely that any losses
associated with the pending lawsuits described below will significantly
affect the Company or it subsidiaries results of operations, financial
position and cash flows, although no assurance can be given to such
effect. Accordingly, the Company has established a provision of ThCh$
4,098,842 for these lawsuits, which Management considers to be adequate.
Management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the
Company will incur losses in excess of the established provision.The following is a detail of pending lawsuits that have been filed
against the Company, its subsidiaries and equity method investees. The
lawsuits are detailed by Company and the descriptions provide the court
of law overseeing the lawsuit, a legal reference number, a general
description of the lawsuit, the process status of the lawsuit and the
amounts involved in the lawsuit. The most relevant cases are detailed as
follows: Endesa-Chile  i.
    
    Court: Supreme Court of Argentina
Process number: 2753-4000/97
Cause: Dirección Provincial de Rentas, Provincia de Neuquén
versus TGN (Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A.). Resolution
regarding Stamp Tax sum that eventually should be paid jointly by
TGN and Endesa-Chile.
Process status: TGN requested a precursory measure before the
Supreme Court of Argentina to suspend the proceeding filed by the
Province of Neuquen, which was accepted. Therefore the
administrative complaint proceeding remains pending.
Amounts involved: $Arg 13,943,572 (Includes tax, interest and fines).ii.
    
    Court: Arbitration Court
Process number: N/A
Cause: On December 27, 2001, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. was
notified of an arbitration to resolve controversies related to
insurance policy No. 96.676, issued by Compañía de Seguros Generales
Consorcio Allianz, currently AGF/Allianz Chile Compañía de Seguros
Generales S.A., to cover Endesa-Chile related to all risks, civil
liability and anticipated loss of benefits for the construction of the
Ralco Hydroelectric Plant. The suit is directly related to the Ralco
Project Cofferdam loss, which occurred on May 27, 2001. The plantiff
claims that Endesa did not inform about certain risks when the policy
was being agreed to.
Process status: Endesa replied to the complaint sustaining that
the plaintiff is distorting the facts, omitting information that was
provided by Endesa-Chile, altering the risks covered by the contract
and is unaware of the stipulations in the policy; that the flood that
affected the Cofferdam was an insurable risk, included in the policy,
and therefore it should be rejected since it has no foundation in fact
or in law.
Amounts involved: No amounts presently involved. If the suit
were resolved in favor of AGF/ Allianz Chile, it is estimated that
Endesa-Chile would lose approximately US$11 million. F-74

amount. On January 15, 2002, Hidroelectrica El Chocon S.A. filed an appeal
citing erroneous computation of the amount owed and other reasons as to why
the taxes were not applicable.Hidroinvest S.A.On December 27, 2000 Hidroinvest S.A. was notified that it owed tax of

    Commitments and contingencies, continued:Central Costanera S.A.Central Costanera S.A. has a debt obligation corresponding to an
agreement related to Work Order No. 4322 (the Agreement). Central
Costanera S.A. has fixed the obligation at Arg $1 equal to one US$1 in
accordance with applicable laws, maintaining the original interest rate
of the obligation. However, certain laws have exempted certain
obligations from this fixed exchange rate, and should the Secretary of
Energy rule that the obligations of Central Costanera S.A be exempted,
an appeal would be filed, which the Company believes would be decided
in its favor. As of September 30, 2003, Central Costanera S.A. would
to have to pay an additional ThCh$16,986,929 in the event of an
unfavorable ruling. To date, the Secretary of Energy has presented no
complaint against payments made by Central Costanera S.A. at the 1 US$
to 1 Arg$ exchange rate.Edegel S.A.Court : Peruvian Tax Administration Superindendent (SUNAT)Process number : N/ACause : From November 2000 to October 2001, the Peruvian tax authority,
the National Superintendency of Tax Administration (SUNAT) audited the
income taxes and general sales taxes of Edegel S.A. (Edegel) from 1996 to
1999. As a result of the audits, in December 2001, SUNAT imposed back
taxes and related fines of ThUS$85,747 (ThCh$56,676,278). However,
Edegel S.A. appealed and on July 9, 2003 SUNAT issued a new resolution
totaling US$160 million.Process status : As of August 1, 2003, Edegel is appealing. As of
December 31, 2003 Management established a provision of US$ 16.5
million (US$16.1 million in 2002) to cover the
portions of its appeal that it believed would not be decided in its
favor. On April 28 and November 14 of 2003, under the advice of its
legal advisors, Edegel withdrew the aforementioned portions of its
appeal and paid SUNAT US$6,056,000 and US$ 14,290,000, respectively,
for back taxes, fines and interest.  i
    Lawsuits have been filed by ESSALUD for payment of contributions
amounting to ThCh$3,055,250 (US$4.21 million). Management and their
external legal advisors believe that a favorable resolution is
probable, therefore no related provision has been made as of December
31, 2003 and 2002.ii
    Claims have been filed against Talleres Mayopampa S.A.
amounting to ThCh$421,687 (ThUS$581). The subsidiary has filed the
corresponding countersuits and appeals, which are pending resolution
by the Tax Court. In the opinion of Management and external legal
counsel, these actions neither independently nor jointly will have a
significant adverse effect on the financial position, results of
operations or liquidity of Edegel S.A.iii
    A lawsuit has been filed by Edegel S.A.s workers union, which
seeks an increase in revenue sharing from the current 5%, as required
by law, to 10%, which would mean doubling the payments already made in
1994, 1995 and 1996, meaning additional aggregate payments of
ThCh$3,387,291 (ThUS$4,667 historic) plus interest. The court ruled
on the case, declaring the grounds of the suit to be unfounded,
however, the decision was appealed and is now awaiting new sentencing.
Management and their external legal advisors believe that a favorable
resolution is probable, therefore no related provision has been made
as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. F-85

    Commitments and contingencies, continued:Central Cachoeira DouradaIn April 2003, Companhia Elétrica do Estado de
Goiás S.A. (CELG),
the only client of our Brazilian subsidiary, Cachoeira Dourada,
obtained an interim order that allowed CELG to suspend payments in
respect to a firm contract for long-term purchase of energy it has with
Cachoeira Dourada. On July 4, 2003, the Court presiding over this
dispute determined that CELG had to make payments to Cachoeira Dourada
until the final resolution of the litigation with price ranges inferior
to those of R$61.63 per MWh, an amount foreseen under the current
conditions of the firm purchase contract. Cachoeira Dourada appealed
this decision.On July 23, 2003, the Regional Federal Court of the 1st Region has
decided in favor of Cachoeira Dourada finding that CELG must pay all
the amount owed. Despite appeals that provoked reconsideration of the
decision, on July 29,2003, the decision was upheld. A conciliatory
hearing was held on September 4, 2003 but no agreement was reached. On
December 19, 2003, the Court accepted petitions for a provisional
measure requiring CELG to place in the hands of the Court cash for the
difference between the value paid to Cachoeira Dourada and the
stipulated contractual value to be held throughout the length of the
litigation in order to guarantee payment in case of a favorable ruling
for Cachoeira Dourada. On December 23, 2003, CELG asked the Court to
reconsider its decision and on December 26, 2003, the Court agreed,
accepting fixed assets instead of cash to guarantee payment.Compañía de Interconección Energética (CIEN)In January 2003, Companhia Paranaense de Energía
- COPEL (Copel)
suspended its payments to Companhia de Interconexão Energética
(CIEN), related to a contract signed between the two parties for
purchase of energy and power, signed in 1999. In addition CIEN sells
energy to another three Brazilian companies. Copel cited the economic
and financial imbalance of the 1999 contracts as the reason for its
violation. In addition Copel has requested a review of the previously
agreed upon prices.After extensive negotiations, on August 18, 2003, CIEN and COPEL
reached and signed an agreement. Principally, the agreement detailed
modifications that the parties will make to the original energy
contracts, including changes to the amounts of contracted energy, the
expiration date of the contracts, ownership of certain property
necessary for the transfer of energy between the two parties, the
frequency of payment and new price adjustment conditions.The contract modifications were signed in December 2003 and COPEL paid
CIEN 203 million Brasilian Reales.Emgesa S.A.Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., Empresa de Energía de Bogotá S.A. E.S.P. and the
CAR are faced with an environmental contingency for supposed
damage produced in the Muña reservior. The plaintiffs are initially
seeking ThCh$890,700,000. Management and their legal advisors consider
that the maximum loss in the case of an unfavorable decision would be
ThCh$35,564,000, between the three aforementioned entities. However,
according to Emgesa S.A.s legal advisors, an unfavorable decision is
unlikely. F-86

    Commitments and contingencies, continued: Central Costanera S.A. In virtue of the arrangement in Annex VI-A of the Concurso Público
Internacional para la Venta de las Acciones de Central Costanera Sociedad
Anónima (International Public Tender for the Sale of Shares of Central
Costanera Sociedad Anonymous), the domain of Central Costanera S.A.s land
was transferred subject to the condition that it used as the location for an
electric power plant for a term of twenty five years as of the date of
possession. If under any circumstance whatsoever the land ceases to be used for that
purpose during the indicated period, its domain shall be considered revoked
due to this cause, returning such title effective immediately, and as a
matter of law, to SEGBA S.A. or, as applicable, to the National State. The most significant requirements in respect to financial covenants are those
contained in the Syndicated loan, the Agent of which is Bank of America, and
in the bilateral with JP Morgan, which are the following:  -
    
    The long-term debt with third parties cannot exceed US$347 million; short term debt of less
than 30 days cannot exceed US$10 million,-
    
    Clauses that restrict change of control;-
    
    Clauses that restrict payments to shareholders, including subordination of the related debt. Edegel S.A.A. Financial indicators originated by Bonds Program and Short-term instruments:  -
    
    Net Shareholders Equity must not be less than Soles 2,400 million, inflation-indexed
(Restriction First Bonds Program),-
    
    Debt to equity ratio no greater than 1.5 (Restriction Second Bonds Program),-
    
    EBITDA for the period to interest expense for subsequent period no less than 4.5 to 1.5,-
    
    Financial Debt no greater than 3.0 to 1.0,-
    
    Total liabilities to Total equity, no greater than 0.55 to 1.0 Betania Covenants include limitations on the payment of related debt and limitations
on change in control and the following financial ratios:  -
    
    EBITDA to Senior Financial Debt no less than 1.4.-
    
    Cash Flows before Dividend Payments to Senior Financial Debt no less than 1.3.-
    
    Shareholders Equity to Senior Debt no less than 5. Cross-Default Provisions: As is customary for certain credit and capital market debt facilities, a
substantial portion of Endesa-Chiles financial indebtedness is subject to
cross-default provisions. Certain events including payment defaults and
bankruptcy by Endesa-Chile or any of its subsidiaries, left uncured over time
(in those specific provisions which allow for a cure period), could result in
a cross-default at the Endesa-Chile level and if a cross-default were to
occur, approximately 66% of Endesa-Chiles consolidated liabilities would
eventually become due and payable. F-88

    Subsequent events:  (i)
    
    Deficit of Natural Gas in Argentina The electricity system in Chile and Argentina partially depends on natural gas
produced in Argentina. The increase in demand, low prices and lack of
investment in new production and transportation capacity of natural gas in
Argentina is producing, during 2004, deficits and natural gas supply cuts to
Chile. The Argentine government published through an energy bulletin on March
26, 2004 Resolution 265 of the Secretary of Energy, which calls for limiting
the exportation of natural gas to Chile, which will directly affect the
Companys thermoelectric power plants San Isidro and Taltal, which have a total
installed capacity of 370 MW and 240 MW, respectively. The San Isidro plant has non-cancelable natural gas supply contracts covering
the total installed capacity needs of the power plant. The San Isidro plant
has the capability to operate with diesel. The Taltal plant has non-cancelable natural gas supply contracts covering
approximately 50% of its daily consumption needs. The Taltal plant does not
have the capability of operating with alternative fuel. As of the date of these financial statements the Company has not experienced
natural gas supply problems in the San Isidro or Taltal plant. The Companys equity method investee Gas Atacama Generación Ltda. has take or
pay contracts with Argentine suppliers of natural gas that operate in the
Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (SING), and during 2004 has
experienced reductions in the supply of natural gas of 40% and up to 60%, from
prior year. Gas Atacama Generación Ltda. has had to buy some energy at the
spot rates, which has affected its margins, but Management is unable to
determine the effect this could have on their net results from operations
during 2004. F-96

    Environment: During the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company and its
domestic and foreign subsidiaries made expenditures in the amount of ThCh$
3,824,743 and ThCh$12,145,906, respectively, related to environmental
activities corresponding primarily to the following: Operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,
included costs of studies, monitoring, follow-up, and laboratory analysis
which amounted to ThCh$ 326,621 and ThCh$ 379,802, respectively, and costs
related to Environment Law No. 99 in Colombia and ISO 14.001 certification at
Central Costanera and El Chocón, which amounted to ThCh$ 693,313 and
ThCh$5,846,374, respectively. The Company capitalizes expenditures related to environmental activities as
part of property, plant and equipment, when those expenditures are deemed to
provide additional future economic benefit. During the years ended December
31, 2002 and 2003 capitalized environmental expenditures amounted to ThCh$
2,804,808, and ThCh$ 5,919,370, respectively, and primarily relate to the

Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated)  34.
    
    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles: Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from US GAAP. Such
differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown in the
financial statements. I. Differences in Measurement Methods The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and US GAAP are described below
together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in the
determination of the adjustments that affect net income and total shareholders
equity. References below to SFAS are to Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United
States.  a)
    
    Inflation accounting The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the Consumer Price Index
for the three-years ended December 31, 2003 was approximately 7.25%. Pursuant
to Chilean GAAP, the Companys financial statements recognize certain effects
of inflation. The inclusion of price-level adjustments in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements is considered appropriate under the prolonged
inflationary conditions affecting the Chilean economy even though the
cumulative inflation rate for the last three years does not exceed 100%. As
allowed pursuant to Form 20-F the reconciliation included herein of
consolidated net income, comprehensive income and shareholders equity, as
determined in accordance with US GAAP, does not include adjustments to
eliminate the effect of inflation accounting under Chilean GAAP.  b)
    
    Reversal of revaluation of property, plant and equipment 
 In accordance with standards issued by the SVS, certain property, plant and
equipment are recorded in the financial statements at amounts determined in
accordance with a technical appraisal. The difference between the carrying
value and the revalued amount is included in shareholders equity, beginning in
1989, in Other reserves, and is subject to adjustments for price-level
restatement and depreciation. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment is
an accounting principle not generally accepted under US GAAP, therefore, the
effects of the reversal of this revaluation, as well as of the related
accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense are included in
paragraph (w) below. 
  c)
    
    Deferred income taxes Under Chilean GAAP, until December 31, 1999, deferred income taxes were
recorded based on non-recurring timing differences between the recognition of
income and expense items for financial statement and tax purposes.
Accordingly, there was an orientation toward the income statement focusing on
differences in the timing of recognition of revenues and expenses in pre-tax
accounting income and taxable income. At the time, Chilean GAAP also permitted
not providing for deferred income taxes where a deferred tax asset or liability
was either offsetting or not expected to be realized. Starting January 1, 2000, the Company recorded income taxes in accordance with
Technical Bulletin No. 60 and its related amendments issued by the Chilean
Association of Accountants, recognizing, using the liability method, the
deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the financial and tax
values of assets and liabilities. As a transitional provision, a contra
(referred to as complementary) asset or liability has been recorded
offsetting the effects of the deferred tax assets and liabilities not recorded
prior to January 1, 2000. Such complementary asset or liability is being
amortized to income over the estimated average reversal periods corresponding
to the underlying temporary differences to which the deferred tax asset or
liability relates. F-98

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued: Under US GAAP, companies must account for deferred taxes in accordance with
SFAS 109, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting of income taxes, under the following basic principles:  (i)
    
    A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the
estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary
differences and tax loss carryforwards.(ii)
    
    The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets
is based on the provisions of the enacted tax law. The effects
of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.(iii)
    
    The measurement of deferred tax assets are reduced by
a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Temporary differences are defined as any difference between the financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of an asset and liability that at some future
date will reverse, thereby resulting in taxable income or expense. Temporary
differences ordinarily become taxable or deductible when the related asset is
recovered or the related liability is settled. A deferred tax liability or
asset represents the amount of taxes payable or refundable in future years as a
result of temporary differences at the end of the current year. Prior to January 1, 2000, the principal effect on the Company due to the
difference in the accounting for deferred income taxes between Chilean and US
GAAP relates to the treatment of temporary differences arising from provisions,
net operating loss-carryforwards and accelerated depreciation methods. In
subsequent years the principal differences relate to:  (i)
    
    The reversal of the complementary assets and
liabilities recorded as a transitional provision for unrecorded
deferred taxes as of January 1, 2000 and their corresponding
amortization into income, and(ii)
    
    Accounting for deferred tax differences related to US
GAAP adjustments. The effect of these differences on the net income and shareholders equity of
the Company is included in paragraph (w) below.  d)
    
    Staff severance indemnities As described in Note 2 p), under the Companys employment contracts, it has
committed to provide a lump sum payment to each employee at the end of their
employment, whether due to death, termination, resignation or retirement. Those
obligations are calculated based on the present value of the liability
determined at each year-end based on the current salary and average service
life of each employee. The Company, and certain of its subsidiaries, used a
real discount rate of 9.5% for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and
2003, and assumed an average service life which varies based upon years of
service with the Company. The value of the obligation is calculated based on an
average estimated employment span of 35 years for employees with 15 years or
more and includes 75% of the benefit related to employees with less than the
required 15 years, as stipulated in the collective bargaining agreements. The
real annual discount rate does not include a projection of inflation and,
accordingly, future salary increases are also excluded from the calculation of
the obligation, because all such future increases are expected to approximate
the increase in inflation over a long-term period. Under US GAAP EITF 88-1 severance indemnities described above may be recorded
based on the vested benefits to which the employees are entitled if their
employment terminated immediately (settlement basis). The effects on the
short-term and long-term liability of accounting for staff severance
indemnities under US GAAP have been presented in paragraph (w) below. F-99

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued:e)
    
    Pension and post-retirement benefits The Company has obligations related to complementary pension plan benefits and
other post-retirement benefits as stipulated in collective bargaining
agreements. Under Chilean GAAP post-retirement employee benefits have been
accounted for in accordance with the respective employee collective bargaining
agreement, based on the actuarially determined projected benefit obligation
using a discount rate of 9.5%. Under US GAAP, post-retirement employee
benefits have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 87 Employers
Accounting for Pensions and SFAS 106 Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions. The primary difference between Chilean GAAP and
US GAAP results from using a discount rate for US GAAP based on high-quality
fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available
during the period to maturity of the benefits obligations, which was 6.0% for
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, versus, as required under Chilean
GAAP, using a discount rate based on the Companys cost to borrow. The effects
on the short-term and long-term liability of accounting for post-retirement
benefits under US GAAP have been presented in paragraph (w) below.  f)
    
    Investments in related companies Under Chilean GAAP, when an investment accounted for by the equity method is
acquired, the proportionate net book value of the investee company is recorded
as an investment and the difference between the cost of investment and the
proportionate net book value of the investee is recorded as goodwill. The
goodwill is then amortized to income over a maximum period of twenty years. The
investment account is adjusted to recognize the investors share of the
earnings or losses of the investee determined under Chilean GAAP subsequent to
the date of the purchase. Under US GAAP, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18,
the Equity Method for accounting for Investment in Common Stock (APB No.
18), the carrying amount of an investment accounted for under the equity
method is initially recorded at cost and shown as a single amount in the
balance sheet of the investor. It is adjusted to recognize the investors share
of the earnings or losses of the investee determined under US GAAP subsequent
to the date of investment. The investment reflects adjustments similar to those
made in preparing consolidated financial statements, including adjustments to
eliminate inter-company gains and losses and to account for the differences, if
any, between the investors cost and the underlying equity in net assets of the
investee at the date of investment. The investment is also adjusted to reflect
the investors share of change in the investee capital accounts. The Companys equity share of the effect of the adjustments from Chilean GAAP
to US GAAP of equity accounted investees is included in paragraph (w) below.
The principal US GAAP adjustments affecting the Companys equity investees are
as follows:  (i)
    
    The elimination of capitalized foreign currency
exchange differences.(ii)
    
    The recording of deferred taxes in accordance with SFAS 109.(iii)
    
    The recording of derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS 133.(iv)
    
    The deferred income tax effects of adjustments (i) and (iii).  g)
    
    Goodwill(i)
    
    Under Chilean GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded
at their carrying value, and the excess of the purchase price over the
carrying value are recorded as goodwill. Circular No. 1358, dated
December 3, 1997 issued by the SVS, extended the maximum amortization
period of goodwill to 20 years from the previous 10 years. F-100

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, continued:Under US GAAP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at
their estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities
acquired are recorded as goodwill. Prior to July 1, 2001 under US GAAP, the
Company amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, ranging from 20 to 40 years.(ii)
    
    Under Chilean GAAP, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill
for impairment. The Company determines the impairment losses using a
discounted cash flow approach and recent comparable transactions in the
market. In order to estimate recoverable value, the Company makes
assumptions about future events that are highly uncertain at the time of
estimation. The results of this analysis showed no impairment of goodwill
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2003.The results of this analysis performed in 2002 showed that under Chilean
GAAP the goodwill and related negative goodwill related to investments in
Argentina and Brazil were impaired because estimated future discounted cash
flows were not sufficient to recover goodwill and negative goodwill. The
impairment reflected the decline in the Companys revenues and forecasted
cash flows in their Argentina and Brazilian subsidiaries and the increase
in inflation and interest rates and decreasing expectations of the
currencies in Argentina and Brazil. During 2002, under Chilean GAAP, the
Company recorded a net charge related to its investments in Central
Costanera S.A., Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A., Hidroinvest S.A., Lajas
Inversora S.A. and Compañía Hidroeléctrica Caehoeira Dourada S.A. in the
amount of ThCh$ 107,899,090 to write-off all amounts of goodwill.In accordance with US GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS 142 Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 applies to all
goodwill and identified intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. Under the new standard, all goodwill, including that acquired
before initial application of the standard, and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are not amortized, but must be tested for impairment at least
annually. Previously, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of
goodwill, in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted
cash flows of the underlying business. The transitional impairment test
required by the standard, which was performed during the first half of 2002
indicated that none of the Companys goodwill was impaired. However, based
on subsequent testing of the Companys investments in Argentina and Brazil
performed as of December 31, 2002, it was determined that these investments
were impaired. Under US GAAP Endesa-Chile has recognized an impairment of
goodwill of ThCh$133,069,444 net of tax of ThCh$0 and net of minority
interest of ThCh$7,763,315. The goodwill impairment of ThCh$140,832,759 was
associated with goodwill related to investments in Argentina and Brazil.
The following effects are included in the net income and shareholders
equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (w) below:  (a)
    
    differences in the amount of the impairment under
US GAAP related to basis differences in the original
determination and subsequent amortization methodology between
Chilean GAAP and US GAAP;(b)
    
    the reversal of negative goodwill impairment under
Chilean GAAP, as under US GAAP negative goodwill is treated as
an adjustment to the net book value of the related fixed assets
to their fair value;(c)
    
    the reversal of goodwill amortization recorded
under Chilean GAAP. F-101

    Negative goodwill Under Chilean GAAP, the excess of the carrying value of the assets assumed in a
business combination over the purchase price is recorded as negative goodwill.
Circular No. 1358, dated December 3, 1997 issued by the SVS, extended the
maximum amortization period of negative goodwill to 20 years from the previous
5 years. Under US GAAP, the fair values of the assets acquired less the fair
values of the liabilities assumed in excess of the purchase price is allocated
proportionately to reduce the values assigned to non-current assets. If the
allocation reduces the non-current assets to zero, the remainder of the excess
is recorded as an extraordinary gain to income. Adjustments related to
negative goodwill necessary to conform the consolidated financial statements to
US GAAP are included in paragraph (w) below and are as follows:  h-1:
    
    The reversal of negative goodwill write-offs described in
paragraph (g) above, which did not meet the US GAAP impairment
criteria for long-lived assets under SFAS 144 described above and
the reversal of negative goodwill amortization recorded under
Chilean GAAP;h-2:
    
    The effects of reducing depreciation expense, due to the
proportionate allocation of the excess purchase price to property,
plant and equipment.  i)
    
    Capitalized exchange differences In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has capitalized both interest on
debt directly related to property, plant and equipment under construction as
well as finance costs corresponding to exchange differences generated by the
loans associated with such assets. The capitalization of interest costs
associated with projects under construction is optional when incurred on debt
that is not directly related to such projects. Under US GAAP, the capitalization of interest on qualifying assets under
construction is required, regardless of whether interest is associated with
debt directly related to a project. In addition, under US GAAP, foreign
translation exchange differences may not be capitalized. The adjustment to
reverse out the foreign currency translation adjustments relating to the loans
financing the constructions in progress is shown in paragraph (w) below as
follows:  i-1: Adjustment to net income related to foreign exchange differences;i-2: Adjustment to depreciation of property, plant and equipment.  j)
    
    Accumulated deficit during the development stage Under Chilean GAAP, the net losses incurred during the development stage of
subsidiary companies are recorded directly in the parent companys equity.
Under US GAAP, such results of operations of all controlled subsidiaries must
be included in the consolidated statement of income. The effects are included
in paragraph (w) below.  k)
    
    Minimum dividend As required by the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by the
unanimous vote of the holders of issued and subscribed shares, the Company must
distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of its net income
for each year as determined in accordance with Chilean GAAP, unless and except
to the extent the Company has unabsorbed prior year losses. Net income related
to the amortization of negative goodwill can only be distributed as an
additional dividend by the approval of the shareholders, and accordingly, is
not included in the calculation of the minimum dividend to be distributed.
Since the payment of the 30% dividend out of each years income is required by
Chilean law, an accrual has been made in the reconciliation in paragraph (w)
below to reflect the unrecorded dividend liability, whenever and to the extent
the recorded interim dividends do not reach the 30% minimum dividend. F-103

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued:l)
    
    Capitalized general and administrative expenses Until 1993 under Chilean GAAP, Endesa-Chile capitalized a portion of its
administrative and selling expenses as part of the cost of
constructions-in-progress because a substantial portion of the efforts of
management were involved in the administration of major projects. Under US
GAAP, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense unless they
can be directly identified with the supervision of the constructions of
specific projects. Under Chilean GAAP the Company has also capitalized other
administrative expenses into other long-term assets, which under US GAAP would
not be allowed. The effects of eliminating capitalized general and
administrative expenses are detailed in paragraph (w) below as follows:  l-1:
    
    The elimination of the capitalized administrative and selling
expenses from property, plant and equipment and the effect on
depreciation expense for the year;l-2:
    
    The elimination of the capitalized administrative and selling
expenses from other assets and the effect on income for the year. The effects of eliminating capitalized general and administrative expenses for
US GAAP purposes are shown under paragraph (w) below.  m)
    
    Involuntary employee termination benefits Under Chilean GAAP, the Argentine subsidiaries, Central Costanera S.A. and
Hidroelectricidad, recorded an accrual of certain involuntary employees
termination benefits related to the restructuring plan announced in 1997.
Since that date employees have continued to be made redundant pursuant to this
plan. Additionally, during 2003 the Company increased the amount of the accrual
recorded under Chilean GAAP. In accordance with US GAAP, in order to recognize
a liability at the balance sheet date for the cost to terminate employees
involuntarily, there must have been a plan that specifically includes
notification of such employees prior to the balance sheet date. As of December
31, 2002 and 2003, this requirement had not been met. The effect of
eliminating the accrued liability recognized is presented in
paragraph (w)
below.  n)
    
    Adjustment in selling price of investment Under Chilean GAAP, pursuant to the share transaction contract entered into in
1995 between Endesa-Chile and Endesa Overseas Co. with Enersis International
Limited, Chilectra S.A. and Chilectra International Limited, Endesa Argentina
recognized income related to an adjustment of the share purchase price. Under
U.S. GAAP, the contingent price adjustment would be considered a part of the
purchase price, and would therefore be offset against the amount of goodwill
that was originally determined. As described in paragraph (g), the Company
determined goodwill amounts recorded in investments in Argentina was impaired
as of January 1, 2002, thus the adjustment in selling price of investment is a
basis difference between Chilean and U.S. GAAP that will be eliminated after
the impairment charge is recorded. The effects of the adjustments to conform
to U.S. GAAP are included under paragraph (w) below. F-104

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued:o)
    
    Translation of financial statements of investments outside of Chile Under Chilean GAAP, in accordance with Technical Bulletin 64 (BT 64) the
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries exposed
to significant risks (unstable countries), and that are not considered to be
an extension of the parent companys operations, are remeasured into US
dollars. The Companys foreign subsidiaries in Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and
Colombia all meet the criteria of foreign subsidiaries that operate in
countries exposed to significant risks under BT 64, and are remeasured into US
dollars. The Company has remeasured its foreign subsidiaries into US dollars
under this requirement as follows:  
    
    Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of
exchange between the US dollar and the local currency;
    
    All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders equity are
translated at historical rates of exchange between the US dollar and
the local currency;
    
    Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of
exchange between the US dollar and local currency;
    
    The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations between the local
currency and the US dollar are included in the results of operations
for the period. Under BT 64, the investment in the foreign subsidiary is price-level restated,
the effects of which are reflected in income, while the effects of the foreign
exchange gains or losses between the Chilean Peso and the US Dollar on the
foreign investment measured in US dollars, are reflected in equity in the
account Cumulative Translation Adjustment which amounted to a net gain of
ThCh$ 12,007,543 and ThCh$ 9,407,177, and a net loss of ThCh$ 30,479,394 for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. In the opinion of the Company, the foreign currency translation procedures
described above are part of the comprehensive basis of preparation of
price-level adjusted financial statements required by Chilean GAAP. Inclusion
of inflation and translation effects in the financial statements is considered
appropriate under the inflationary conditions that have historically affected
the Chilean economy, and accordingly, are not eliminated in the reconciliation
to US GAAP as permitted by Form 20-F.  p)
    
    Derivative instruments The Company engages in derivative activity for hedging purposes. These
derivatives are considered accounting hedges under Chilean GAAP. Under
Chilean GAAP the accounting treatment of hedging activity is similar to the
accounting treatment of fair value hedges and cash flow hedges under SFAS 133.
The documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements under Chilean GAAP
though are not as burdensome as under SFAS 133. Under SFAS 133 to qualify for
hedge accounting strict requirements need to be met, including hedge
documentation and effectiveness tests. The Company does not have the
documentation and hedge effectiveness requirements to qualify for hedge
accounting. Therefore, all derivative instruments have been accounted at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings for US GAAP purposes. The Company has designated under Chilean GAAP certain non-derivative financial
instruments as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of net investments in
foreign operations. The gain or loss on the non-derivative financial
instrument that is designated as a hedge is reported as a translation
adjustment to the extent it is effective as a hedge, any ineffectiveness is
recorded in earnings. This accounting treatment is consistent with SFAS 133. SFAS 133 also requires that certain embedded derivatives be separated and
reported on the balance sheet at fair value and be subject to the same rules as
other derivative instruments. Current Chilean accounting rules do not F-105

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued: consider the existence of derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
and therefore they are not reflected in the financial statements under Chilean
GAAP. The effect of adopting SFAS 133 as of January 1, 2001, resulted in a cumulative
effect on net income of ThCh$ 32,654,708, which is presented net of deferred
taxes of ThCh$ 41,804,538 and minority interest under the caption Cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles. The effects of the adjustment
with respect to financial derivatives, commodity derivatives, and embedded
derivatives for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 is included in the
net income and shareholders equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph
(w) below.  q)
    
    Reorganization of subsidiaries This adjustment corresponds to the reorganization of the Companys subsidiaries
Central Costanera and Central Buenos Aires (CBA) during 2001, in which Central
Costanera acquired the minority interest in CBA from third parties and
exchanged shares with Endesa Argentina. Under Chilean GAAP, the Company
recorded the transactions under the pooling method, using the book values of
the net assets acquired under merger accounting. Under US GAAP the exchange of shares between entities under common control is
recorded at book values. However, to the extent that shares in CBA were
acquired from third parties, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are recorded at fair value using purchase accounting together with the
shares issued by the subsidiary Central Costanera. The difference in fixed
asset basis between Chile and US GAAP results in a greater depreciation expense
to be recorded under US GAAP over the remaining estimated useful life of 20
years. The effect of this adjustment is included in the net income and
shareholders equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (w) below.  r)
    
    Assets held for sale Under Chilean GAAP the Company records divestitures of investments or assets in
the year in which they occur. Under US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS 144,
long-lived assets for which there is a plan to sell the assets within the
following year, shall be disclosed separately from the Companys other assets,
provided all the criteria are met. Additionally, long-lived assets classified
as held for sale must be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair
value less cost to sell. Long-lived assets shall not be depreciated while they
are classified as held for sale, while interest and other expenses attributable
to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall
continue to be accrued. The Companys Board of Directors approved a plan to sell a number of the
Companys assets during October 2002. The following assets to be sold met the
definition of segments, reporting units or long-lived assets held for sale:  
    
    Central Canutillar power plant
    
    Gas Atacama transmission lines
    
    CELTA transmission lines
    
    Infrastructura Dos Mil S.A.  The Company evaluated the carrying values of all assets held for sale,
recording a loss to the extent that the assets fair value less cost to sell
was lower than the carrying value of the assets. Additionally, the Company
ceased recording depreciation expense once the assets met the qualification
criteria of held for sale, which varied from October to December 2002. The
effect of these adjustments is included in the net income and shareholders
equity reconciliation to US GAAP under paragraph (w) below. F-106

    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, continued:s)
    
    Elimination of discontinued operations Under Chilean GAAP, no restatement to the financial statement information
presented in previous years is required after a divestiture has occurred.
Under US GAAP, in accordance with SFAS 144, the discontinued operations of a
component must be retroactively separated from the continuing operations of an
entity, when the operations and cash flows of a component will be eliminated
from the ongoing operations of an entity as a result of a disposal or a sale
transaction, and the entity will not have any significant continuing
involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The Company evaluated whether any of the assets held for sale met either
criteria, noting that the transmission lines and power plant are not
components, as they are included as a part of larger cash flow generating
groups, and the operations of these assets cannot be separated from their
respective groups. Additionally, Endesa-Chile plans to continue generating
revenues from Canutillar through a purchase power agreement, management
agreement, and a transmission leasing arrangement with the future buyer.
Infrastructura Dos Mil S.A. met the conditions for discontinued operations
because it had distinct and separable financial results from operations and
cash flows. As a result of the disposal, the results of operations of the
reporting unit have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of
Endesa-Chile, as Endesa-Chile will not have any continuing involvement in the
operations of Infrastructura Dos Mil S.A. after it is sold. The effect of
restating discontinued operations is included in the net income reconciliation
to US GAAP, net of tax expenses of ThCh$ 611,188, ThCh$ 982,180 and ThCh$
36,732 in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, and
net of minority interest of ThCh$ 404,192, ThCh$ 165,184 and ThCh$ 0 in the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively,
under paragraph (w)
below.  t)
    
    Accounting for asset retirement obligations In June 2001 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143
(SFAS), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. The Company adopted SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003. This standard
requires that the Company record the fair value of the legal obligation it has
to make certain environmental restorations upon closure of the mine site. The
fair value of the liability is estimated by discounting the future estimated
expenditures related to the restoration. The Company then measures changes in
the liability due to passage of time by applying an interest method of
allocation to the amount of the liability at the beginning of the period. The
interest rate used to measure that change is the credit-adjusted risk-free rate
that existed when the liability, or portion thereof, was initially measured.
That amount is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the
liability and the expense is classified as an operating item in the statement
of income, referred to as accretion expense. At the same time the standard
requires the Company to capitalize the new costs arising as the result of
additional liabilities incurred, such as the activation of a new generation
facility, and subsequently allocate that asset retirement cost to expense over
the life of the plant based on the useful life of the plant. The accumulated
effect of adopting SFAS 143 as of January 1, 2003 is presented in paragraph (w)
below, net of taxes of ThCh$ 160,902 and minority interest of ThCh$ 116,391.
The effects on US GAAP income and Shareholders equity are shown in paragraph
(w) below as follows:  t-1: The effects of amortizing the deferred costs of the
asset retirement obligation are reflected as depreciation
expense;t-2: The effects of remeasuring the liability due to the
passage of time is reflected as accretion expense. The Company has legal obligations to retire its generation plants and make
certain environmental restorations in the future upon closure or abandonment.
As described above the Company began accounting for these obligations as of
January 1, 2003. The following table shows the pro-forma reconciliation of the
liability for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 had the Company
recorded it retroactively and shows the reconciliation of the liability for the

    Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of property,
plant and equipment and other long-lived assets, in relation to the operating
performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business.
This standard requires that an impairment loss be recognized in the event that
facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be fully recoverable, when compared to the estimated future undiscounted cash
flows. Impairment is recorded based on estimates of future discounted cash
flows, as compared to current carrying amounts. For the years ended December
31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 no additional amounts were recorded for impairment
under US GAAP. F-107

outstanding during the year. The Company has not issued convertible debt
or equity securities nor does it have other common stock equivalent
securities outstanding. Consequently, there are no potentially dilutive
effects on the earnings per share of the Company. F-111

any single financial institution. The Companys debtors are dependent on the
economy in Latin America, which could make them vulnerable to downturns in the
economic activity in the countries in which the Company operates. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for the years ending
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003. F-119

    Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 for which
it is practicable to estimate that value:  
    
    Cash The fair value of the Companys cash is equal to its carrying value.  
    
    Time deposits and marketable securities The fair value of time deposits approximates carrying value due to the
relatively short-term nature.  
    
    Long-term accounts receivable The fair value of long-term accounts receivable was estimated using the
interest rates that are currently offered for loans with similar terms and
remaining maturities.  
    
    Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt was based on rates currently available to the
Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  
    
    Derivative instruments Estimates of fair values of derivative instruments for which no quoted prices
or secondary market exists have been made using valuation techniques such as
forward pricing models, present value of estimated future cash flows, and other
modeling techniques. These estimates of fair value include assumptions made by
the Company about market variables that may change in the future. Changes in
assumptions could have a significant impact on the estimate of fair values
disclosed. As a result such fair value amounts are subject to significant
volatility and are highly dependent on the quality of the assumptions used. F-122

    Derivative instruments The Company is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of
electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, and other energy-related products,
interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. The Company has policies and
procedures in place to manage the risks associated with these market
fluctuations on a global basis through strategic contract selection, fixed-rate
and variable-rate portfolio targets, net investment hedges, and financial
derivatives. The Company does not have the appropriate hedge documentation in
place, as mandated by SFAS 133, to designate derivative contracts as cash flow
hedges or as fair value hedges, therefore, all derivative contracts that do not
qualify under the normal purchase and sale exemption are accounted at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, with the exception of
net investment hedges. The Company has a number of contracts denominated in US dollars or with
indexation features linked to the US dollar. According to SFAS 133, a contract
with payments not expressed in the local or functional currency of any
substantial party to the contract may be excluded from the normal purchase and
sale exception or may be considered to have an embedded derivative that
requires bifurcation. For purposes of evaluating the functional currency of
the Companys subsidiaries in Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, the
Company applied BT 64, consistent with the methodology described in paragraph I
(p), thus the functional currency of these subsidiaries was considered to be
the US dollar as these subsidiaries financial statements were re-measured into
US dollars because they are foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries
exposed to significant risks as determined under BT 64. The following is a summary of the Companys adjustments in consolidated
companies to other assets and liabilities related to the fair values for all

Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 34. Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, continued: Commodity derivatives The Company has generation and distribution commodity contracts that meet the
definition of a derivative under SFAS 133 and are required to be accounted for
at fair value. These derivative contracts were evaluated for qualification
under the normal purchase and sale exception. A number of contracts could not
qualify under such exemption because they had prices tied to an unrelated
underlying such as a local and/or foreign inflationary index. The Company has commodity contracts that are unique, due to their long-term
nature and complexity. In establishing the fair value of contracts management
makes assumptions using available market data and pricing models. Factors such
as commodity price risk and credit risk of counter-parties are also included in
the fair value calculation. Inputs to pricing models include estimated forward
prices of electricity and natural gas, interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
inflation indices, transmission costs, and others. These inputs become more
difficult to predict and the estimates are less precise, the further out in
time these estimates are made. As a result, fair values are highly sensitive
to the assumptions being used. The Companys Argentine generation entities have access to the Brazilian energy
market through an interconnection system between the two markets. In order to
calculate the fair values of the electricity purchase and sale contracts
related to this interconnection business, the Argentine electricity forward
prices were used as a benchmark for all contracts included in this portfolio.
The Company considers the Argentine prices to be the correct benchmark to
calculate the fair value of the interconnection contracts because the Company
does not have concessions to sell the Argentine generated energy in the
Brazilian spot or forward market to any parties other than those currently
contracted. Therefore the Company views the interconnection as an extension of
the Argentine market. Such values are included in the reconciliation to US
GAAP in paragraph I (w). Embedded Derivative Contracts The Company enters into certain contracts that have embedded features that
require bifurcation and fair value accounting with changes in fair value
recorded in earnings, as mandated by SFAS 133. Embedded derivatives that were
held as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 corresponded to foreign currency and
indexation features embedded in leases and service type contracts. Financial Derivatives Changes in interest rates expose the Company to risk as a result of its
portfolio of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The Company manages interest
rate risk exposure on a global basis by limiting its variable-rate and
fixed-rate exposures to certain variable/fixed mixes set by the risk management
policy. The Company manages interest rate risk through the use of interest
rate swaps, collars and cross-currency swaps. F-125

Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 34. Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, continued: Net Investment Hedges The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risk arising from long-term
debt denominated in foreign currencies, the majority of which is the US dollar.
This risk is mitigated partially as a substantial portion of the Companys
revenue is either directly or indirectly linked to the US dollar.
Additionally, the Company has designated certain non-derivative instruments as
hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The accounting treatment for
such operations is the same under Chilean GAAP and US GAAP (see Note 10 (e) and
Note 20 (e)(1) for further detail). The changes in the cumulative translation
adjustment are presented net of foreign currency gains or losses of debt
designated as hedges of foreign net investments. Gains and (losses) related to
debt designated as hedges of ThCh$ (112,580,768), ThCh$ (73,383,562) and ThCh$
101,002,461 were included in the cumulative translation adjustment for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The Company also uses short duration forward foreign currency contracts, swaps,
and cross-currency swaps, where possible, to manage its risk related to foreign
currency fluctuations. k) Reclassifications under US GAAP Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP income statement in
order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with presentation
requirements under US GAAP. Amortization of negative goodwill, amortization of
goodwill, and certain other non-operating income and expense, would be included
in operating income under US GAAP. Recoverable taxes included in other
non-operating revenues would be recorded as part of income taxes under US GAAP.
Equity participation in income or losses of related companies included in
non-operating income would be presented after income taxes and minority
interest in accordance with US GAAP. Income from discontinued operations would
be presented after income from continuing operations under US GAAP. Additionally, the extraordinary loss recognized under Chilean GAAP in 2002
would be reclassified to income taxes as the Colombian democracy tax does not
meet the definition of extraordinary in accordance with US GAAP. Under Chilean
GAAP a company is permitted to classify as extraordinary any items that are
considered unusual in their nature or infrequent in occurrence. US GAAP is
much more stringent than Chilean GAAP in allowing items to be considered
extraordinary and the extraordinary loss recognized under Chilean GAAP in 2002
would be reclassified to income taxes as the Colombian democracy tax does not
meet the definition of extraordinary in accordance with US GAAP. In 2001, the gain from the repurchase of the Yankee bonds by the Company was
included in non-operating income under Chilean GAAP. Under US GAAP, SFAS 4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt (SFAS 4), required
that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if
material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax
effects. Therefore, in 2001 the gain had been recorded under US GAAP as an
extraordinary gain, net of income taxes. However, in April 2002, SFAS 4 was
rescinded by SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145),
which requires any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified
as an extraordinary item in prior periods that does not meet the general
criteria in US GAAP for classification as an extraordinary item be reclassified
into income from continuing operations. The Company adopted SFAS 145 as of
December 31, 2002, and this difference in 2001 between Chilean and US GAAP has
now appropriately been eliminated in the 2002 and 2003 presentation. F-126

Endesa-Chile and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 34. Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, continued:  (v)
    
    Certain reclassifications would be made to the Chilean GAAP balance
sheet in order to present Chilean GAAP amounts in accordance with
presentation requirements under US GAAP. Deferred taxes from depreciation
differences that are recorded as short-term under Chilean GAAP would be
recorded as long-term under US GAAP. Debt discounts are included in other
assets in Chilean GAAP while the discount would be offset against the debt
under US GAAP. The amounts receivable and payable related to financial
derivatives have been recorded in the balance sheet at their gross
amounts, whereas, these amounts would have been recorded at their net
amounts by financial institution under US GAAP, provided the contracts
have net settlement provisions. Negative goodwill would be presented as a
deduction to property, plant, and equipment instead of a separate
line-item in other assets. Investments in companies in the development
stage would be consolidated under US GAAP, as opposed to being presented
as equity method investees, under Chile GAAP. As of December 31, 2002,
the non current assets and long-term liabilities of the assets held for
sale would be reclassified to current assets and current liabilities,
respectively. The assets held for sale were Infrastructura 2000, Central
Canutillar, and the CELTA transmission lines, all of which met asset held
for sale criteria as of December 31, 2002. As a result of the refinancing
after December 31, 2002 but prior to the issuance of the financial
statements, a reclassification of ThCh$ 208,129,457 from current to
long-term debt due to banks and financial institutions reflects the
renegotiated maturity dates as of December 31, 2002.The following are summarized balance sheets of the Company using a US GAAP

Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 34. Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, continued: l)  Employee Benefit Plans Endesa-Chile and its subsidiaries sponsor various benefit plans for its current
and retired employees. A description of such benefits follows: Severance indemnities The provision for severance indemnities, included in the account Accrued
expenses short and long-term is calculated in accordance with the policy set
forth in Note 2 (p), using the current salary levels of all employees covered
under the severance indemnities agreement, an assumed discount rate of 9.5% for
the year ended December 31, 2001 and an assumed discount rate of 6.0% for the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, and an estimated average service period
based on the years of services for the Company. Benefits for Retired Personnel Other benefits provided to certain retired personnel of Endesa-Chile include
electrical service rate subsidies, additional medical insurance and additional
post-retirement benefits. Descriptions of these benefits for retired
personnel are as follows: i)  Electrical rate service This benefit is extended only to certain retired personnel of Endesa-Chile.
These electric rate subsidies result in the eligible retired employees paying a
percentage of their total monthly electricity costs, with Endesa-Chile paying
the difference. ii)  Medical benefits This benefit provides supplementary health insurance, which covers a portion of
health benefits not covered under the institutional health benefits maintained
by employees of Endesa-Chile. This benefit expires at the time of death of the
pensioner. iii)  Supplementary pension benefits Eligible employees are able to receive a monthly amount designed to cover a
portion of the difference between their salary at the point of retirement and
the theoretical pension that would have been received had the employee reached
the legal retirement age of the Institución de Previsión Social(Institute of
Social Welfare). This benefit expires upon the death of the pensioner for the
Endesa-Chile employee, however, continues to cover the surviving-spouse in the
case of employees of the subsidiary Endesa-Chile. iv)  Workers compensation benefits Employees that were entitled to Workers compensation insurance in prior years
for work related accidents receive benefits from the Company as such insurance
has expired. This benefit continues at the time of death of the pensioner, to
cover the surviving-spouse. The Company has recognized liabilities related to complementary pension plan
benefits and other post-retirement benefits as stipulated in collective
bargaining agreements. Under US GAAP pension and post-retirement employee F-133

 n) Discontinued operations In October of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and
discontinued operations. The application of this statement resulted in the
classification, and separate financial presentation of certain entities as
discontinued operations, the results of which are not included in continuing
operations. There was no impairment of assets related to discontinued
operations, as their fair value exceeded their carrying value. Fair values used
in these calculations have been determined by using the estimated sales prices. In 2002 the Company committed plans to dispose the 60% equity participation it
held in the consolidated subsidiary Infraestructura 2000 S.A. It was accounted
for as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144 and, accordingly,
amounts in reconciliation of net income to US GAAP and the additional
disclosure notes required under US GAAP for all periods shown, reflect
discontinued operations accounting. The major classes of discontinued consolidated assets, consolidated liabilities
and minority interest included in the Chilean GAAP Endesa-Chile consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2002 are as follows: As of December 31,2002ThCh$Assets:Cash

accordance with Chilean GAAP of the related companies accounted for using the
equity method for the purpose of complying with disclosure requirement for
significant equity investees. All amounts are in thousands of constant Chilean
pesos of December 31, 2003 purchasing power. The condensed information shown here has been combined from Compañia de
Interconexión Energética S.A., Comercializadora de Energía del Mercosur S.A.,
Gas Atacama Generación Ltda., Gasoducto Atacama Argentina Ltda. and Gasoducto
Atacama Chile Ltda. individual financial statements prepared in accordance with
Chilean GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. In 2003 a new
equity method investee, Inversiones Gas Atacama Holding Limitada was created
and shares of the last three companies were given to it as a contribution in
kind (see note 10 (d)). Thus the information as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was combined from Compañia de Interconexión Energética S.A.,
Comercializadora de Energía del Mercosur S.A. and Inversiones Gas Atacama

financial ratios and covenants that require minimum equity levels or that
contain other characteristics that restrict the transfer of assets to the
parent company. The amounts of Endesa-Chiles proportionate share of restricted net
assets in consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 are as follows: Proportionate Share ofRestricted NetSubsidiary

 The amount of consolidated retained earnings which represents undistributed
earnings of investees accounted for under the equity method as of December 31,
2003 is ThCh$ 54,276,089. r) Recent accounting pronouncements i) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities-an interpretation of ARB 51, to expand upon and
strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should
include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of
another entity. Many variable interest entities have commonly been referred to
as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet structures, but the guidance
applies to a larger population of entities. In general, a variable interest
entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used
for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with
voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient
financial resources for the entity to support its activities. The Company must
apply Interpretation No. 46 to variable interest entities created after January
31, 2003 in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December
15, 2003. The Company assessed that it is not a primary beneficiary of any
Variable Interest Entity created after January 31, 2003 and is assessing the
impact of the Interpretation in relation to business relationships created
before January 31, 2003. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of
the interpretation to have a material impact on the Companys results of
operation or financial position. F-139

Endesa-Chile and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish
(Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003, except as stated) 34. Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, continued: (ii) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS 150 Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This
Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of
those instruments were previously classified as equity. The FASB originally
decided that SFAS 150 should be:  -
    
    effective upon issuance for new contracts entered into
after May 31, 2003, and-
    
    effective for any pre-existing contracts that remain
outstanding at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. Subsequently, the FASB made significant changes with regards to effective date
and transition provisions for public companies, pursuant to FASB Staff Position
No. 150-3. The FASB agreed to:  -
    
    Defer for an indefinite period the application of both
the measurement and recognition guidance in SFAS 150 to non
controlling interests that are classified as equity in the
financial statements of the subsidiary but would be classified as
a liability in the parents financial statements under SFAS 150;-
    
    Defer the application of the measurement guidance in
SFAS 150 to mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests that
are not within the scope of the deferral described in the
preceding section that were issued on or before November 5, 2003;-
    
    For mandatory redeemable non-controlling interest of a
subsidiary acquired subsequent to November 5, 2003, all of the
requirements of SFAS 150, including the measurement guidance in
paragraph 22 of SFAS 150, should be followed. The adoption of the provisions required under SFAS 150 as of December 31, 2003
had no impact on the presentation of the Companys financial statements and the
Company does not expect SFAS 150 to have a material impact on its statement of
financial position or result from operations upon adoption of the deferred
provisions. (iii) Accounting for Derivatives In October 2002, the EITF reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 02-03.
Primarily, the final consensus provided for (1) the rescission of the consensus
reached on EITF Issue No. 98-10, (2) the reporting of gains and losses on all
derivative instruments considered to be held for trading purposes to be shown
on a net basis in the income statement, and (3) gains and losses on
non-derivative energy trading contracts to be similarly presented on a gross or
net basis, in connection with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company adopted EITF Issue No. 02-03, as of January 1, 2003, and the
adoption of this consensus did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. F-140

CIEN  COMPANHIA DE INTERCONEXÃO ENERGÉTICA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 and 2002
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)  1.
    
    OPERATING CONTEXTCIEN is engaged in the transmission and commercialization of electricity,
including activities of importation and exportation, implementing the
necessary services for the realization of this objective.The Company obtained authorization to exploit the Brazil-Argentina
interconnection project, which involves the purchase of capacity and
electricity imported from Argentina through an international bid initiated
by Centrais Elétricas do Brasil S.A.  Eletrobrás,
through its subsidiaries Centrais Elétricas do Sul do Brasil S.A.  Eletrosul and Furnas Centrais
Elétricas S.A.. The Company was granted a concession to construct an
electricity transmission line between the substation Rincón de Santa Maria
(Argentina) and Itá (Brazil), of approximately 507 kilometers, and to
annually import 1,000 MW of electric energy from Argentina, for a 20 year
period.On May 5, 1998, CIEN executed contracts for the sale of electric energy to
Eletrosul (300 MW annually) and Furnas (700 MW annually) for term of the
above mentioned concession period. As a result of a corporate restructuring,
Eletrosul incorporated Tractebel Energia S.A.  Tractebel, which assumed the
above contract. On December 13, 1999, CIEN executed two take or pay
contracts for the sale of electric energy to COPEL  Companhia Paranaense de
Energia (800 MW annually) for the concession period. To meet the
requirements under the contracts with COPEL, CIEN constructed a second
transmission line, with 488.7 kilometers and a capacity of 1,050 MW. On
December 31, 2002, CIEN executed a contract for the sale of electric energy
to Companhia de Eletricidade do Rio de Janeiro  CERJ (200 MW annually) for
the concession period. On December 10, 2003 the contracts with COPEL were
amended to modify the volume of energy from 800 MW to 400 MW and reduce the
contract term to end in 2015 (see note 4).2.
    
    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES  a)
    
    GeneralThe financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile and the
regulations established by the SVS (collectively Chilean GAAP), and
the specific corporate regulations of Law No. 18,046, related to the
formation, registration and liquidation of Chilean corporations, among
others. Certain amounts in the prior years financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation. H-5

##### Table of Contents



CIEN  Companhia de Interconexão Energética  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Chilean GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.In certain cases generally accepted accounting principles in Chile
require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their
fair values. The fair value is the amount at which an asset could be
bought or sold or the amount at which a liability could be incurred or
settled in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in
a forced or liquidation sale. Where available, quoted market prices in
active markets have been used as the basis for the measurement; however,
where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the
Company has estimated such values based on the best information
available, including using modeling and other valuation techniques.b)
    
    Financial yearsThese financial statements relate to the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002.c)
    
    Translation basis  c.1.
    
    Purpose of financial statementsThese financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Technical Bulletin No. 64 established by the Colegio de Contadores
de Chile A.G.c.2.
    
    Translation into US DollarsThe Company maintains its accounting records in Reais, the currency
of the country in which the Company is incorporated and operates,
according to accounting practices adopted in Brazil.The assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and
the income for the years then ended have been translated from Reais
into dollars using the translation methodology applicable to
investments in countries with unstable currencies and are not
considered an extension of the operations of the investing Company,
as described in Technical Bulletin No. 64, summarized as follows:  c.2.1.
    
    Non monetary assets and liabilitiesThe non monetary assets and liabilities and the shareholders
equity are expressed in historic US dollars, translating the
Reais of each transaction into US dollars, using the

defined by the Brazilian National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL),
which takes into account the useful life of the assets used in the
electric sector in Brazil.g)
    
    Government severance indemnity fund for employeesUnder Brazilian labor legislation, the Company is required to make
monthly contributions of 8% on payroll expense to the Government though
a financial institution. Such amount can be with drawn by the employee

CIEN  Companhia de Interconexão Energética  As part of the contractual conditions of the loans signed by the Company and
its subsidiaries with IDB, KFW, Santander and Credit Agricole Indosuez -
CAI, the Company and the subsidiary TESA assumed several obligations (covenants). On July 28,
2003, the Company received a notification from the Collateral Agent
according to which such obligations had not been complied with. On December
31, 2003, the Company received a waiver from the representative of all the
banks, approving the Companys request dated August 28, 2003. The above
mentioned waiver temporarily cured the Companys default situation, since
the conditions are scheduled to be complied with according to specific
deadlines that are started in the financing documents originally signed.
Also the Company understands that all the requirements of the waiver will be
complied within the deadlines. If the conditions are not met on the
established deadlines and the collateral agent considers that the adverse
situation is irreversible, the banks may require the acceleration of the
loan maturities.In addition, with respect to these loans, there is a commitment assumed by
the Company, according to which the indebtedness incurred in the normal
course of operations should not exceed US$1 million. In May 2003, the
Company advised the Collateral agent that it had not complied with this
obligation and requested a waiver. At that time, the Collateral Agent did
not formally reply to the Companys request and/or commented on this matter
in his notification mentioned above (August 28, 2003 or in the December 31,
2003 waiver). The Companys management understands that absence of a formal
pronouncement of the banks constitutes an implicit representation that the
Company had not defaulted in relation to this obligation, including as of
December 31, 2003. However, according to Chilean accounting principles,
considering that the default situation allows the banks to require the
acceleration of the repayments, and also considering the Company may request
additional time for solving the default, the Company reclassified its
indebtedness with these banks from long-term to current liabilities.The negative working capital presented in the statement of financial
position as of December 31, 2003 was significantly affected by the
reclassification of loans as mentioned in the preceding paragraph. These
loans are guaranteed by Endesa International, as subsidiary of our ultimate
parent company Endesa-Spain. Consequently, continuity of the Company
operations is not affected by our negative operating cash flows.12.

  The Company has imported equipment for projects (phases CIEN I and CIEN II)
based on a special tax incentive regime (drawback), which means that the
Company is exempt from the Import Tax and IPI (excise tax). In addition, the
Company obtained a suspension of the ICMS tax levied by the state of Rio de
Janeiro on imported equipment. In spite of the above, the Foreign Trade
Department (DECEX), in charge of the tax incentive, annulled the exemption
for the Companys importations after March 31, 2001. CIEN obtained a court
injunction and claimed an extension of the exemption until March 31, 2003
(awaiting the pronouncement of the foreign Trade Secretariat on the effects
of the administrative action submitted by CIEN). As the court injunction was
obtained, the drawback regime was considered as extended up to March 31,
2003. However, after the pronouncement of the Foreign Trade Secretariat, the
judge declared the process as ended without examining its merits.Based on the recent opinions of its legal counsel and taxes consultants,
the Company decided to accrual the taxes adjusted up to December 31, 2003,

    ENVIRONMENT (UNAUDITED)On March 07, 2002, IBAMA issued a license of operation No. 196/2002,
allowing CIEN to operate the interconnection system Brazil-Argentina II,
including the second converter station of Garabí, the transmission line of
Garabí-Itá II and the enlargement of the substation of Itá (Bay 2) during
four (4) years.In May 2003, the Company updated its Plan of Environment Management (PGA)
for the operation stage, integrating the interconnection systems
(Brazil-Argentina I and II). This third revision of the Brazilian PGA was
submitted for BID ratification, which was sent together with the PGAs of the
operation stage of each one of the Argentina interval (PGA CTM and PGA
TESA).Since August 2002, the specific field campaigns for the management of
accidental impacts on the fauna have started. The information obtained
through the campaigns and field observations will be consolidated together
with the forms according to the impacts on fauna, completed by the operation
and maintenance teams during the year.In October 2003, the Company renewed at the State Secretariat of Environment
(SEMA/RS) the license for the activities of intervention in the native
vegetation, related to the maintenance of the Transmission Lines, Garabi-Itá
I and II. These credentials were renewed with the Forests and Protected
Areas Department (DEFAP) of SEMA/RS and are effective for one year until
October 31, 2004. H-21

    PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILEAN GAAP AND US GAAPChilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP. Such
differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown in the
financial statements.The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP are described
below together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in
the determination of the adjustments that affect net income and total
stockholders equity. References below to SFAS are to Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board in the United States.The effects of these differences on the Companys shareholders equity as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002 and net income for the three years then ended are

  Under Chilean GAAP, in accordance with Technical Bulletin 64 (B.T. 64) the
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that operate in countries
exposed to significant risks (unstable countries), and that are not
considered to be an extension of the parent companys operations, are
remeasured into US dollars. The Company and its foreign subsidiaries in
Argentina all meet the criteria of foreign subsidiaries that operate in
countries exposed to significant risks under BT 64 and are remeasured into
US dollars.  
    
    Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end rates of
exchange between the US dollar and the local currency.
    
    All non-monetary assets and liabilities and shareholders equity
are translated at historical rates of exchange between the US dollar
and the local currency.
    
    Income and expense accounts are translated at average rates of
exchange between the US dollar and local currency.
    
    The effects of any exchange rate fluctuations between the local
currency and the US dollar are included in the results of operations
for the period.  As discussed in Note 2c, the foreign exchange currency translation
procedures defined by Technical Bulletin 64 are part of the comprehensive
basis of preparation of price-level adjusted financial statements required
by Chilean GAAP. Inclusion of inflation, if applicable, and translation
effects in the financial statements is considered appropriate under the
inflationary conditions that have historically affected the economy, and
accordingly, are not eliminated in the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. H-22

    Accounting for derivative instrumentsCurrent Chilean accounting rules do not consider the existence of
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts or the consideration
of non-financial instrument contracts as derivatives and therefore they
are not reflected in the financial statements.Certain Companys generation and distribution commodity contracts could
be seen as contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS
No. 133 and would be required to be accounted for at fair value. These
conditions are (i) have an underlying, which is the market price of
power at the delivery location and a notional amount specified in the
contract; (ii) have no initial payment on entering into the contract;
and (iii) have a net settlement provision or have the characteristic of
net settlement because power is readily convertible to cash, as it is
both fungible and actively traded in the country of generation or
country of distribution.The Company assessed that its commodity contracts that are requirements
contracts do no meet the above definition because the contracts do not
have notional amounts, as they only have maximum amounts or no specified
amounts, and do not include an implicit or explicit minimum amount in a
settlement or a default clause. A requirements contract allows the
purchaser to use as many units of power as required to satisfy its
actual needs for power during the period of the contract, and the party
is not permitted to buy more than its actual needs.The Company concluded that all of its power is readily convertible to
cash as energy is actively traded, or the Company has access, to markets
where energy is actively traded. However, only certain participants
have access to the energy markets, thus determination as to whether
energy could be considered readily convertible to cash was analyzed on a
country by country basis. The Company has also concluded that
multiple-delivery long-term power contracts meet the net settlement
characteristic. Management multiple-delivery long-term power contracts
are readily convertible to cash because the Company operates in
countries with active spot markets, that although they contain varying
levels of liquidity, can rapidly absorb the contracts quantities at
each delivery date without significantly affecting the price, and thus
meet the definition of net settlement, consequently these contracts are
accounted for as derivatives that under SFAS No.133.Because both the purchases and sales interconnection contracts are for
periods up to 20 years in complex markets, where no similar term forward
market information is available, the Company has estimated such values
based on the best information available, including using modeling and
other valuation techniques. The Company has recorded the best estimate
of fair value, however with different assumptions such as interest
rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, electricity rates, and increases
in cost trends, materially different fair values could result. As a
result such estimates are highly volatile and dependent upon the
assumptions used. H-23

    Capitalization of interest on financingInterest on loans and financing of work in progress was accounted for in
fixed assets during the construction of projects CIEN I and CIEN II. For
US GAAP the interest capitalized in excess of amounts qualified for
interest capitalization was reversed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 (SFAS 34).The Chilean GAAP determines that the totality of the interest on loans
and financing of fixed assets acquisition or construction has to be
accounted for in fixed assets. As determined in SFAS 34, the amount
capitalized in an accounting period shall be determined by applying an
interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the
asset during the period.c.
    
    Deferred taxes on losses carryforwardsIn 2001 the Company recorded a valuation allowance for deferred taxes on
losses carryforwards for US GAAP, which was reversed in 2002.d.
    
    Accumulated deficit during the development stageUnder Chilean GAAP, the losses incurred during the development stage is
recorded directly in the parent companys equity. Under US GAAP, such
costs must be charged to income as incurred.e.
    
    Tax effects on GAAP differencesRefers to effects of income and social contribution taxes on the Chilean
to US GAAP differences.  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 for
which it is practicable to estimate that value:  
    
    CashThe fair value of the Companys cash is equal to its carrying value.
    
    Time depositsThe fair value of time deposits approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature.
    
    Marketable securitiesThe fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices
of the mutual money market funds held and approximates carrying value. H-24

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the President and the Board of Directors of
Comercializadora de Energía del Mercosur S.A.
(CEMSA)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of Comercializadora de Energía del Mercosur S.A.
(CEMSA) as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and
the related statements of operations and of cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys Management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States of America). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Comercializadora
de Energía del Mercosur S.A. (CEMSA) as of
December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Chile.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Chile
vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Information
relating to the nature and effect of such differences is
presented in Note 15 to the financial statements.

Our audit also comprehended the translation of
constant Chilean Peso amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and,
in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity
with the basis stated in Note 2(b). Such U.S. dollar
amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in
the United States of America.

Buenos Aires, January 22, 2004, except for
Note 15 for which the date is April 30, 2004.

COMERCIALIZADORA DE ENERGIA DEL MERCOSUR S.A.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 (Restated for general price-level changes and expressed in thousands of constant
Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2003)  Note 1.
    
    Description of Business The Company was constituted to trade in the wholesale electric market, on its
own account and/or by mandate and/or on behalf third parties and/or associated
to third parties, within the Mercosur. On April 8, 2002, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting
enlarge the main business to natural gas commercialization, on its own account
and/or by mandate and/or on behalf third parties and/or associated to third
parties, on the same countries. The Company obtained the corresponding
authorization as an energy broker from the Energy Department and the Enargas
(natural gas regulatory agency). According to Resolution No. 613 of December 9, 1998, the Company obtained the
authorization of the Energy Department to export 500 MW of firm capacity and
associated energy to the Federal Republic of Brazil, during 20 years as from
the starting date of commercial operations of the International Interconnection
Transmission System. The buyer is Companhia de Interconexão Energética (CIEN), which demand comes
from an International Bid promoted by the Federal Republic of Brazil, which
this Company was awarded. To comply with the export before mentioned, the Company, together with Central
Costanera S.A., initiated the First International Transmission Interconnection
of high capacity between the region systems, in order to export capacity and
energy from Argentina. As a consequence of that, the Company entered into agreements with Compañía de
Transmisión del Mercosur S.A. for the construction, operation and maintenance
of the international enlargement of the International Interconnection System
from the Transforming Station (TS) Rincón de Santa María to the TS Garabí, in
Argentine territory; and of the national enlargement, constituted by other
works in Rincón de Santa María Substation. Both enlargements have the respective Convenience and Public Necessity
Certificates issued by the Electricity Regulatory National Entity (ENRE), which
also approved the plan of the corresponding Line. The International Interconnection System started the commercial operations on
June 21, 2000. On December 20, 2000, by Resolution No. 263/00, the Energy Department granted
to the Company the export license for another 1,000 MW of firm capacity and
associated energy to the Federal Republic of Brazil, for the customer Companhia
de Interconexão Energética. To comply with this new commitment, the Company entered into agreements with
Transportadora de Energía S.A. for the construction, operation and maintenance
of the international enlargement of the International Interconnection System
from the TS Rincón de Santa María to the TS Garabí, in Argentine territory; and
of the national enlargement, constituted by other works in Rincón de Santa
María Substation. Both enlargements have the respective Convenience and Public Necessity
Certificates issued by the Electricity Regulatory National Entity (ENRE), which
also approved the plan of the corresponding Line. H-31

This second system started the commercial operations, reduced to 420 MW, on May
1, 2002, and fully on August 1, 2002. By Resolution No. 365/01 of November 15, 2001, the Company received from the
Energy Department export licenses for other additional 50 MW through the First
International Interconnection for a 20 year-period, and by Resolution No.
607/02 of August 8, 2002 other 50 MW through the Second International
Interconnection for the same period. During 2003, the Company obtained from the Energy Department the export
licenses No. 76, 77 and 78/03 of January 24, 2003, to export 338 MW of firm
capacity and associated energy to the Republic of Uruguay, for a two
year-period beginning on February 1, 2003. Additionally, the Company carries out commercial operations in the domestic
market, by its own and on behalf third parties, in this last case backing with
agreements with wholesale electric market generators, which support the
commercialization agreements entered into with large customers and
distributors. Likewise, the possibility to export firm capacity and associated energy to
Chile, is being analyzing by the Company.  Note 2.
    
    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  a)
    
    General The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in Chile and the regulations
established by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance  SVS
(collectively Chilean GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Chilean GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. These financial statements have been translated from Argentine pesos to US
dollars, and, later translated to Chilean pesos, starting from the accounting
records of the Company, kept in pesos (Argentine currency) in conformity with
Argentine legislation, except by the elimination of certain items such as the
inflation adjustment. For this purpose, the Company followed the methodology of
conversion described in the Technical Bulletin No. 64 (BT No. 64) issued by the
Chilean Accountants Association, for investments in non-stable countries and
that are not considered as an extension of the holding Company operations. Additionally, certain valuation adjustments have been made to adequate the
balances in Argentine currency to accounting principles generally accepted in
Chile, that include the effect of the monetary correction in conformity with
Technical Bulletin No. 13 of the Chilean Accountants Association. The exchange rate as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 was 718.61 Chilean pesos and
593.80 Chilean pesos, respectively, per each US dollar. Likewise, the consumer
prices index issued by the National Statistics Institute of Chile was 3% and 1%
for the years ended on December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. H-32

    Years covered These financial statements reflect the Companys financial position as of
December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for years ended December 31, 2001 (un-audited), 2002 and 2003.  c)
    
    Constant currency restatement Comparative financial statements For comparative purposes, the 2001 (un-audited) and 2002 financial statements
and the amounts disclosed in the related Notes have been restated in terms of
Chilean pesos of December 31, 2003, purchasing power. Convenience translation to U.S. dollars The financial statements are stated in Chilean pesos. The translation of
Chilean pesos into US dollars are included solely for the convenience of the
reader, using the observed exchange rate reported by the Chilean Central Bank
as of December 31, 2003 of Ch$ 593.80 to US$ 1.00. The convenience
translations should not be construed as representations that the Chilean peso
amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into
US dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.  d)
    
    Time deposits Time deposits are presented at original placement plus accrued interest, as
applicable.  e)
    
    Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are valued at the acquisition cost, that include
all significant costs necessary to put these assets in a position to be used in
the Companys business, including financial costs related to construction work
carried out over a considerable length. In accordance with Chilean GAAP, the Company has evaluated the recoverability
of its assets. It is the Companys policy, when evidence exists of an other
than temporary impairment of fixed assets, such that the Companys operations
are not expected to produce sufficient net cash flows, to recover all fixed
asset costs, including depreciation, the book values of those assets must be
reduced to their net realizable values with a charge to non-operating expenses.
The Company has not identified impairments in the net book values of its
property, plant and equipment.  f)
    
    Depreciation Depreciation expense is calculated on the revalued balances using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  g)
    
    Revenue recognition Revenue consists of revenue for electric power sales on its own name and the
net revenues from sales of electric power on behalf third parties. Revenue is
recognized when energy and power is provided at rates specified under contract
terms. H-33

h)
    
    Income tax and deferred income taxes The Company determines income tax applying the current legal tax rate of 35% to
the tax income of the year, considering the timing differences between the
accounting values and the tax values of assets and liabilities, as well as
unused tax losses or tax credits subject to deduction of future tax income
whenever it becomes probable. In addition, the Company determines the minimum deemed income tax by applying a
1% rate on the assets at year-end. This tax is a complement of income tax. The
Companys tax obligation will be the highest of both taxes. Nevertheless,
should the minimum deemed income tax exceeds during a fiscal year the amount of
income tax, such excess can be computed as payment to account of any surplus of
income tax over the minimum deemed income tax that could occur in any of the
next ten fiscal years.  i)
    
    Statements of cash flows The Statements of Cash Flows have been prepared in accordance with the indirect
method. Investments considered as cash equivalents, include time deposits with
maturities less than 90 days. For classification purposes, cash flows from operations include collections
from clients and payments to suppliers, payroll and taxes.  Note 3.
    
    Change in Accounting Principles There were no changes in accounting principles during the years ended December
31, 2001 (un-audited), 2002 and 2003 that would affect the comparison with the
prior year financial statements.  Note 4.

    Power sale contracts to Brazil On June 21, 2000 the Company started operations through an export of 500 MW of
capacity and associated energy to Brazil, in agreement with the contract
subscribed with CIEN. To comply with this obligation, the Company signed
several contracts with Central Piedra Buena S.A. and Central Costanera S.A. for
the provision of 250 MW of capacity plus the associated energy, for each one.
According to these contracts, the Company operated as an agent on behalf of the
generators, and from 2002, on a small portion, on its own name. For a term of
20 years, the generators transferred the commercialization of two 250 MW blocks
of the total production of capacity and associated energy, of the plants
located in Bahia Blanca and Buenos Aires City, respectively, for supplying to
CIEN; on the other hand, the Company will reimburse to Central Piedra Buena
S.A. and Central Costanera S.A. the amounts collected from CIEN. During 2001, the Company signed a contract with CIEN to provide other
additional 50 MW of capacity plus the associated energy. To comply with this
obligation, the Company signed an agreement of commercialization of generation
with Centrales Térmicas del Noroeste S.A., which started on December 1, 2001. On December 20, 2000, by Resolution No. 263/00 of the Energy Department, an
export license was granted to the Company for other additional 1000 MW of
capacity and associated energy to be exported to the Federal Republic of
Brazil, as from the start of the Second Transport of Electrical Energy System
of International Interconnection, do it on August 1, 2002, being CIEN the
customer. To comply with this obligation the Company signed several contracts
with different energy generators companies. With respect to the above-mentioned commercialization agreements, on June 4,
2003, CEMSA informed to the generators that CIEN, its client in Brazil, was
unable to comply with the agreements to purchase installed capacity and energy
for 800 MW, of a total of 1,000 MW, corresponding to the Second Interconnection
between Argentina and Brazil, as its client, Companhia Paranaense de Energia
(COPEL) had ceased complying with the payments under such contract.
Consequently, CIEN informed CEMSA that it will only make partial payments of
the contracts included in the Second Interconnection amounting to 20% of the
total (share of the contracts not signed with COPEL). Therefore, CEMSA informed
to the generators that it will only make partial payments of the Second
Interconnection agreements in identical percentages. H-39

Analyzed this situation and after a negotiation process, the Company agreed
several modifications of the current agreements related to prices, volumes of
capacity and associated energy and terms, and also incorporating new generators
to the operation. Likewise, as a consequence of
the partial payments for the operations from
April to October 2003, the Company agreed that the remaining debt will be
repaid in 12 monthly equal and consecutive installments  denominated in US
dollars  starting in January 2004.  Note 14.
    
    The Argentine economic context The Argentine Republic is undergoing the effects of an unfavorable economic
environment, characterized by several indicators such as an important level of
foreign debt, the crisis of its financial system, a country risk at
unprecedented levels and an economic recession that lasted over four years.
This situation has resulted in a dramatic decrease on the demand of goods and
services and a relevant increase of the unemployment ratio. Also, the capacity
of the National Government to meet its obligations and the access to credit
lines has been affected by these adverse circumstances. In order to face this crisis, as from December 2001, the National Government
has issued several measures mainly related to the restriction on the free
disposition of funds deposited with Banks and the transfer of foreign currency
abroad. As from January 2002, several laws, decrees and regulations implying a
deep change to the former economic model, have been announced. One of the most
relevant measures was the implementation of the variable exchange rate, which
resulted in a significant devaluation during the first quarter of 2002; the
pesification (on the basis of a 1 peso = 1 US$ rate) of the prices of certain
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency maintained in Argentine
and the consequent increase of the internal prices. As from the enactment of Law No. 25,561 (Public Emergency Law and Modification
of the Exchange System), the adjustments in terms of US dollars or other
foreign currencies and other indexing mechanisms included in contracts with the
Federal Administration, are suspended. The prices and rates at that date were
converted into pesos at the exchange rate $ 1 to US$ 1. Also, the National
Government is authorized to renegotiate such contracts. Debts denominated in US dollars held with the Argentine financial system as
well as the obligations denominated in such currency and out off the financial
system, that were agreed under Argentine laws whichever its the source and
nature, existing from the enactment of Law No. 25,561, were converted at a 1 $
= 1 US$ rate plus the reference stabilization coefficient (CER) adjustment,
published by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA) and applied
from February 2002 and its based on the evolution of the consumer prices. For
the particular case of US dollar denominated debts held with the Argentine
financial system, in addition to the above-mentioned coefficient, a rate its
applied that will not be able to surpass the maximum rate established by the
Argentine Central Bank (BCRA). The future evolution of the Argentine economic crisis could demand
modifications of the measures adopted by the National Government or additional
regulations.  Note 15.
    
    Differences between Chilean and United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles Chilean GAAP varies in certain important respects from U.S. GAAP. Such
differences involve certain methods for measuring the amounts shown in the
financial statements. H-40

##### Table of Contents



Differences in Measurement Methods The principal differences between Chilean GAAP and U.S. GAAP are described
below together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in
the determination of the adjustments that affect net income and total
stockholders equity. References below to SFAS are to Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the
United States.  (a)
    
    Inflation accounting The cumulative inflation rate in Chile as measured by the consumer price index
for the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 was approximately 7.3%.
Pursuant to Chilean GAAP, the Companys financial statements recognize certain
effects of inflation. The inclusion of price-level adjustments in the
accompanying financial statements is considered appropriate under the prolonged
inflationary conditions affecting the Chilean economy even though the
cumulative inflation rate for the last three years does not exceed 100%. As
allowed pursuant to Form-20-F the reconciliation included herein of net income
and shareholders equity, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excludes
adjustments attributable to the effect of differences between the accounting
for inflation under Chilean GAAP versus U.S. GAAP.  (b)
    
    Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 for which
it is practicable to estimate that value:  
    
    Cash The fair value of the Companys cash is equal to its carrying value.  
    
    Time deposits The fair value of time deposits approximates carrying value due to the
relatively short-term nature. The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments compared to
Chilean GAAP carrying amounts are as follows: 2002

(c)
    
    Derivative instruments Current Chilean accounting
rules do not consider the existence of derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts or the consideration of non-financial
instrument contracts as derivatives and therefore they are not
reflected in the financial statements. Certain Company's generation
and distribution commodity contracts could be seen as contracts that
meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS No. 133 and would
be required to be accounted for at fair value. These conditions are
(i) have an underlying, which is the market price of power at
the delivery location and a notional amount specified in the
contract; (ii) have no initial payment on entering into the
contract; and (iii) have a net settlement provision or have the
characteristic of net settlement because power is readily convertible
to cash, as it is both fungible and actively traded in the country of
generation or country of distribution. The interconnection line was established to sell energy generated in Argentina
in the Brazilian market, as the Brazilian energy market heavily relies on
hydro-electric generation and has historically had significant problems with
meeting its energy needs economically due to lack of rainfall. In order to
calculate the fair values of the purchase and sale contracts related to the
energy to be sold in the Brazilian market, the Argentine market prices were
used. The Company considers the Argentine prices to be the correct benchmark to
value the fair value of the interconnection contracts because the Company does
not have concessions to sell the Argentine generated energy in the Brazilian
market to any parties other than those currently contracted. Therefore the
Company views the interconnection as an extension of the Argentine market and
as a more appropriate measure of the fair value of energy. Because both the purchases and sales interconnection contracts are for periods
up to 20 years in complex markets, where no similar term forward market
information is available, the Company has estimated such values based on the
best information available, including using modeling and other valuation
techniques. The Company has recorded the best estimate of fair value, however
with different assumptions such as interest rates, inflation rates, exchange
rates, electricity rates, and increases in cost trends, materially different
fair values could result. As a result such estimates are highly volatile and
dependent upon the assumptions used. The assumption to measure the fair value
of these interconnection related contracts using the Argentine market prices
may have a significant effect on the Companys net income and shareholders
equity.  (d)

    Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements In October 2002, the EITF reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 02-03.
Primarily, the final consensus provided for (1) the rescission of the consensus
reached on EITF Issue No. 98-10, (2) the reporting of gains and losses on all
derivative instruments considered to be held for trading purposes to be shown
on a net basis in the income statement, and (3) gains and losses on
non-derivative energy trading contracts to be similarly presented on a gross or
net basis, in connection with the guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting
Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company adopted the
EITF Issue No. 02-03, as of January 1, 2003; the adoption of this consensus did
not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, cash flows
or financial position. SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities.In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, which amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for
hedging activities, including the qualifications for the normal purchases and
normal sales exception, under SFAS No. 133. The amendment reflects decisions
made by the FASB and the DIG process in connection with issues raised about the
application of SFAS No. 133. Generally, the provisions of SFAS No. 149 are to
be applied prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149
provisions that resulted from the DIG process that became effective in quarters
beginning before June 15, 2003 continue to be applied based upon their original
effective dates. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 on July 1,
2003. Contracts that were being accounted for under the normal purchases and
normal sales exception under SFAS No. 133 as of June 30, 2003 will continue to
be accounted for under such exception, including following any modifications to
these contracts, as long as the requirements for applying the normal purchases
and normal sales exception are met. As a result, this issue did not have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial
position. On June 25, 2003, the FASB cleared the guidance contained in DIG Issue C20,
Scope Exceptions: Interpretation of the Meaning of Not Clearly and Closely
Related in Paragraph 10(b) regarding Contracts with a Price Adjustment
Feature. DIG Issue C20, which applies only to the guidance in paragraph 10(b)
of FASB No. 133 and not in reference to embedded derivatives, describes
circumstances in which the underlying in a price adjustment clause incorporated
into a contract that otherwise satisfies the requirements for the normal
purchases and normal sales exception would be considered to be not clearly and
closely related to the asset being sold or purchased. The guidance in DIG
Issue C20 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2003. The Companys review
of existing contracts designated as normal purchases and normal sales under
FASB No. 133 yielded no instances where an embedded price adjustment clause was
not clearly and closely related to the contracts underlying. H-43

As a result, this issue did not have a material impact on the Companys results
of operations, cash flows or financial position. EITF Issue No. 01-08, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease.
In May 2003, the EITF reached consensus in EITF Issue No. 01-08 to clarify the
requirements of identifying whether an arrangement should be accounted for as a
lease at its inception. The guidance in the consensus is designed to broaden
the scope of arrangements accounted for as leases. EITF Issue No. 01-08
requires both parties to an arrangement to determine whether a service contract
or similar arrangement is, or includes, a lease within the scope of SFAS No.
13, Accounting for Leases. The consensus will be applied prospectively to
arrangements agreed to, modified, or acquired in business combinations on or
after January 1, 2004. Previous arrangements that would be leases or would
contain a lease according to the consensus will continue to be accounted for
under historical accounting. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 01-08 would not
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations,
cash flows or financial position. EITF Issue No. 03-11, Reporting Realized Gains and Losses on Derivative
Instruments That Are Subject to FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Not Held for Trading
Purposes.In July 2003, the EITF reached consensus in EITF Issue No. 03-11
that determining whether realized gains and losses on derivative contracts not
held for trading purposes should be reported on a net or gross basis is a
matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances and the
economic substance of the transaction. In analyzing the facts and
circumstances, EITF Issue No. 99-19, and Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions, should be considered. EITF Issue No. 03-11 was
effective for transactions or arrangements entered into after December 31,
2003. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 03-11 would not have a material effect on
the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial position. H-44
