Unbilled revenues, relating to the period between the date of the last meter reading and the close of the month, are estimated and recorded as revenue in the month the electric power was consumed. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 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.

Based on a technical feasibility study on the projections of the future taxable income of the subsidiary Light SESA, Management estimates offsetting the total tax assets of R$1,522,371 over a maximum period of 12 years. These tax credits do not expire. Since in 2002, Light SESA expected to generate future taxable income in a period of more than 10 years, it decided to adjust the tax credits to their present value as of December 31, 2002. As a result, a provision of R$957,886 was recorded to adjust deferred tax assets and liabilities to their present value, resulting in deferred assets and liabilities of R$564,485. The assumptions adopted by the Companys management for its projections were the expected return as a result of investment decisions, administrative and financial adjustments, corporate restructuring, and the electric power distribution activity. (1) Based on the projections of future taxable income and temporary additions/ deductions, part of this deferred tax asset, adjusted to recoverable value, could be recognized again through the reversal of part of this reserve in the estimated amount of R$294,915. However, since no taxable income has been reported in the last 3 years, the Company decided not to reverse part of the reserve, according to CVM Instruction No. 371/02. (d) Tax Debt Refinancing Program PAES (REFIS II) Law No. 10,684 of May 31, 2003 introduced the Tax Debt Refinancing Program (PAES), designed to settle debts owed by legal entities to the Federal Government, related to taxes administered by the Federal Revenue Service, National Treasury Attorney General, and National Institute of Social Security (INSS). The deadline for opting for the installment plan was July 31, 2003 and was later extended to August 29, 2003. On July 31, 2003, the subsidiary Light SESA filed its application for PAES (No. 200300003672), as confirmed by the Federal Revenue Service, and paid the first installment on the same date. The debt included in PAES was R$51,344 (net of 50% fine reduction), which was under administrative dispute as to the legality of the deduction of RGR (global reserve for reversion quota) and CCC (fuel usage quota) from the PIS and COFINS tax bases. The payment will be made in 120 installments, but the consolidated debt amount has not yet been ratified by the Federal Revenue Service. As of December 31, 2006, the subsidiary has paid 45 installments. The installments were calculated based on the total debt divided by the number of installments, subject to the TJLP (long-term interest rate). The balance as of December 31, 2006 is R$44,116. The Companys subsidiary filed its application for PAES (No. 60.213.452-8) with the INSS on July 31, 2003. The debt included in PAES was R$59,975 (net of 50% fine reduction), which was under judicial dispute seeking recovery of the amounts paid for occupational accident insurance (SAT). Payment will be made in 120 installments and the consolidated debt amount has already been ratified by the INSS. As of December 31, 2006, the subsidiary has paid 45 installments. The installments were calculated based on the total debt divided by the number of installments, subject to the TJLP (long-term interest rate). The balance as of December 31, 2006 is R$49,078. On July 31, 2006, the balance of the remaining PAES installments was monetarily adjusted in the amount of R$20.2 million as mentioned in note 37.

(a) In 2000, the subsidiary LIR ENERGY obtained a loan from Deutsche Bank, in the amount of US$175 million; US$15 million due in 2003, subject to LIBOR + 4.35% per year, payable semiannually, with guarantees provided by Light SESA; and US$160 million due in 7 years, subject to LIBOR + 4.35% per year, with guarantees provided by EDF International S.A. This debt falls due in 2010, although repayment can be accelerated at the discretion of Deutsche Bank in October 2007 and subsequently at certain dates until final maturity. The operation consisted of exchanging receivables, in the amount of US$875 million, from LIR ENERGY (fixed rate notes) and credit notes, in the amount of US$700 million, from Deutsche Bank. The notes cannot be traded by the parties and any operation involving the notes must be approved by Deutsche Bank and LIR ENERGY. During the debt restructuring process of Light SESA, it was agreed that, although this loan is not part of the renegotiated debt, its final maturity would be postponed so that no payment of principal occurs before the final maturity of tranches A, B and C (see item (e) below). (b) On February 7, 2002, Light SESA entered into a financing agreement with the BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development), as authorized by Executive Act No. 14, of December 21, 2001. This financing refers to 90% of the margin losses incurred during the rationing period, approved by ANEEL. Of the total financing, the Company received R$172,344 on February 19, 2002, R$444,198 on August 30, 2002, and R$146,349 on November 5, 2002, subject to SELIC (Central Bank overnight rate) + 1% per year, collateralized by the revenue from electricity sales and payable in 69 monthly and consecutive installments beginning March 15, 2002. (c) Debentures:

Debentures I In 1998, 10,500 nonconvertible debentures issued by the BNDES were subscribed in the amount of R$105,000, and collateralized by revenue from electricity sales to final consumers; Debentures IV 4th issue These debentures are convertible and collateralized by revenue from electricity sales to final consumers. In July 2005, BNDESPAR subscribed to 727,268 debentures in the amount of R$734,929; As of December 31, 2006, minority shareholders had 15,737 subscribed debentures.

(a) The fuel usage quota (CCC) was created to promote electric power generation by thermal power plants in the Northern Region. ANEEL Resolution No. 208, of January 31, 2006, set the annual fuel usage quota at R$303,337 for 2006, payable in 12 monthly installments. The unpaid amounts are properly accrued. (b) The Electric Power Development Account (CDE) was established by Law No. 10,438, of April 26, 2002, to promote competitiveness of electricity produced from wind power, small hydroelectric power plants, biomass, natural gas and Brazilian coal, in the areas served by the interconnected electrical systems, and to extend the electric power service throughout Brazil. ANEEL Resolution No. 217, of April 6, 2006, established an annual amount of R$185,793 for the CDE for 2006, which shall be paid in 12 monthly installments. The unpaid amounts are properly accrued.

(c) Energy Efficiency and Research and Development Program, EPE and FNDCT On December 15, 2005, ANEEL published in the federal official gazette Regulatory Resolution No. 176, of November 28, 2005, clarifying the criteria for use of funds in the Energy Efficiency Program and approving the Energy Efficiency Program Manual. On April 11, 2006, ANEEL also approved the new Manual for the Research and Development Program, which established the same accounting criterion as for the Energy Efficiency Program, i.e., in the same period as net operating revenue. This change in criterion resulted in a prior year adjustment in LIGHT SESA in the amount of R$45,617 (see note 9). Since then, the Company has recorded the cost of its programs on the accrual basis, as shown below: 12/31/2006 Energy Efficiency Program (PEE) 2003/2004 cycle 2004/2005 cycle 2005/2006 cycle 2006/2007 cycle 2007/2008 cycle Research and Development Program (R&D) 2003/2004 cycle 2004/2005 cycle 2005/2006 cycle 2006/2007 cycle 2007/2008 cycle Energy Research Company (EPE) 2004/2005 cycle 2005/2006 cycle 2006/2007 cycle 2007/2008 cycle National Scientific and Technological Development Fund (FNDCT) 2005/2006 cycle 2006/2007 cycle 2007/2008 cycle 1,705 24,100 27,947 15,706 3,998 73,456 1,313 7,170 10,872 19,030 5,156 43,541 4,627 5,186 9,663 2,579 22,055 152 18,050 5,156 23,358

14. RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES Light S.A. and its subsidiaries are parties to various tax, labor and civil lawsuits. Management periodically assesses the risks of these lawsuits and, based on the legal counsels opinion, records a reserve for lawsuits in which the risk of unfavorable outcome is probable. Additionally, these companies do not record assets related to lawsuits with chance of success since they are considered uncertain. For lawsuits in which Light S.A. and its subsidiaries received legal authorization for offset, a reserve was recorded to cover potential losses on offset amounts. In July 2006, Management recognized in Light SESA, in conformity with CVM Resolution No. 489/05, which addresses provisions and obligations, additional and nonrecurrent reserve for contingencies related to civil, tax, social security, and regulatory lawsuits, as well as administrative proceedings in the labor area, in the amount of R$157.8 million, whose likelihood of unfavorable outcome was considered probable (see note 37).

a) Light SESA has escrow deposits for labor claims in the amount of R$16,901, recorded in Assets under the caption Escrow deposits. b) Light SESA challenged in court the changes introduced by Law No. 9,718/98 concerning the determination of the PIS and COFINS tax bases, notably the increase in the COFINS tax basis and increase in its tax rate from 2% to 3%. Injunctions and a favorable decision have been obtained. On October 4, 2005, the Federal Regional Court (TRF) issued a decision in favor of the appeal lodged by the Federal Government, and Light SESA lodged an appeal against this decision. The unpaid amounts are accrued and adjusted based on SELIC (Central Bank overnight rate). In December 2002, Light SESA began paying PIS (tax on revenue) on total revenue, in accordance with Law No. 10,637/02, and in February 2004 began paying COFINS (tax on revenue) on total revenue, in accordance with Law No. 10,833/03 as amended by Law No. 10,865/04. 35

Light S.A.

On November 9, 2005, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) judged unconstitutional the increase in the COFINS tax basis, established by Law No. 9,718/98, paragraph 1, article 3, with six votes in favor and four votes against the taxpayers, in the judgment of the leading case. The same thesis applies to PIS. The article declared unconstitutional defined gross revenue as being all revenues earned by the legal entity, irrespective of the type of activity and accounting classification. The reporting judge of proceeding No. RE 357950 understood that the law could not create a new source of funding for social security disregarding what was established by the Federal Constitution before Constitutional Amendment No. 20/98. The amounts accrued until December 2006 are as follows: 1. R$395.0 million related to the increase in the tax basis, which was judged in favor of the taxpayers by the STF in a leading case; and 2. R$192.1 million related to the increase in the COFINS rate from 2% to 3%, which has not yet been judged. Light SESA is awaiting the judgment of Lights lawsuit or a resolution of the Federal Senate, which, based on the STFs decision, would declare the law unconstitutional, thus allowing all companies to reverse said provision related to the increase in the tax basis, according to IBRACON technical bulletin No. 02/06 and CVM Resolution No. 489/05. c) As mentioned in note 6, item d, on July 31, 2003, Light SESA filed an application for PAES, with the resulting inclusion of R$45,219 in the installment payment of tax obligations, established by this program. The amount accrued as contingencies corresponds to the portion not included in PAES. d) In December 1999, the INSS issued infraction notices against the Company on the grounds of joint liability, withholdings on services rendered by contractors, and levy of the social security contribution on employee profit sharing. Based on the legal counsels opinion, Light S.A.s management decided to record a reserve. e) Light SESA challenges the constitutionality of Law No. 7,787/89, which increased the rate of the social security contribution on payroll, understanding that there was a consequent increase in the tax basis in the period from July to September 1989. As per early relief obtained, Light SESA offset the amounts payable (employers share). Based on the legal counsels opinion, Light SESAs management decided to record a reserve for the total amount of the infraction notice issued by the INSS. f) In June 1992, Light SESA filed an ordinary action against the Federal Government for recognition of the inexistence of the obligation to record the monetary adjustment set forth in article 3 of Law No. 8,200/91, when accounting for the difference between the IPC (Consumer Price Index) and the BTNF (National Treasury Bond Index) during calendar year 1990. The Companys request was granted by a decision published in January 1994. An appeal has been lodged by the Federal Government and awaits judgment.

36

Light S.A.

In December 1992, Light SESA filed for a court injunction to ensure the Companys right to fully use the 1991 and 1992 depreciation expenses, without applying the provisions of Law No. 8,200/91, article 3, item I. The injunction was granted. In a decision awarded in April 1997, the proceeding was partially dismissed without prejudice. An appeal has been lodged and awaits judgment. In November 1994, Light SESA received tax deficiency notices, relating to IRPJ (Corporate Income Tax), IRRF (Withholding Income Tax) and CSL (Social Contribution on Profit), in an amount equivalent to 34,385,484.36 UFIRs (official index for inflation adjustments). These notices were challenged and are pending a definitive decision on the lawsuit. Light SESAs management, based on the opinion of its legal counsel and the amounts of the deficiency notices, understands that only part of these amounts represents a risk that requires recognition of a reserve. g) From 1999 to date, several ICMS (state VAT) inspections were conducted at Light SESA by Rio de Janeiro tax authorities. The ICMS tax deficiency notices received to date but not paid are being challenged at the administrative and judicial levels. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel and the amounts of the tax deficiency notices, Light SESAs Management understands that only part of these amounts represents a risk, for which a reserve was recorded. h) In February 2000, Light SESA filed for an injunction, in order to prevent the disallowance of credits arising from adjustments to the Corporate Income Tax Return (DIPJ) for calendar year 1996, thereby ensuring the deduction, from the CSL (Social Contribution on Profit) tax basis, of the interest on capital paid to shareholders in calendar year 1996, as computed for IRPJ (corporate income tax). The requested injunction was granted. In September 2002, a decision was made in favor of the Company, allowing offset of the overpaid CSL. The Federal Government filed an appeal, which has not yet been judged. In July 2001, before the end of the period for review, a tax deficiency notice was issued against Light, in the incorrect amount of R$17,284, since the Federal Revenue Service considered a fine of 75%. The tax deficiency notice should be R$12,382, which monetarily adjusted until December 31, 2006 amounts to R$18,455. This tax deficiency notice was challenged and the decision was partially favorable to the Company, with respect to non-charge of the 75% fine. In July 2001, Light SESA received a tax deficiency notice for not adding to the social contribution tax basis the amounts related to the COFINS provision (Law No. 9,718/98 proceeding) whose payment was suspended. The request for rejection of notice was dismissed and is currently awaiting the judgment of the voluntary appeal lodged in July 2005. The R$6,595 reserve recognized in July 2006 is being adjusted based on SELIC. The updated balance of the reserve as of December 31, 2006 is R$6,699. i) Certain industrial customers have challenged in court the increases in electric power tariff rates approved in 1986 by DNAEE (National Department of Water and Electrical Energy) during the Economic Plan (Plano Cruzado). Based on the opinion of the Companys legal counsel, the accrued amount is sufficient to cover possible losses. There is also a possibility of recovering these possible losses on tariff revisions.

37

Light S.A.

j) There is a lawsuit filed against Light SESA, in which the plaintiff challenges the rescission of a service agreement. This rescission is due to the repeated breach of several contractual clauses. Light SESAs management, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, decided to record a reserve in the amount of R$6,304. k) Civil contingencies comprise lawsuits in which Light SESA is the defendant, related principally to claims involving property damage and pain and suffering, and questioning of amounts paid by consumers. l) In September 2002, Light SESA filed for an injunction, in order to suspend the payment of CIDE (economic intervention contribution) levied on service payments remitted abroad. The injunction was denied and the lower and appellate court decisions were also unfavorable. Light SESA filed an appeal and awaits judgment. Since December 2003, Light SESA has been paying the amounts due. m) At present, Light SESA has four infraction notices issued by ANEEL (AI No. 024/2003, AI No. 009/2005 and AI No. 017/2006 and AI No. 022/2006). Pursuant to the ANEEL regulation, in the case of payment of the fine imposed by ANEEL, the fine shall be adjusted based on SELIC (Central Bank overnight rate) or any other indicator that may substitute it. I) Infraction notice No. 024/2003 was issued on September 18, 2003 and refers to the violation of DEC (Consumer Power Interruption Duration) and FEC (Consumer Supply Interruption Frequency) targets of 9 units in 2001 and 26 units in 2002, including 6 repeaters. The fine imposed by means of this infraction notice amounts to R$1,514. Light SESA, rejecting ANEELs interpretations, filed a defense and the Agencys Attorney partially granted the request by concluding that Light SESA had no liability in relation to one of the violations. Notwithstanding, ANEEL maintained all the fines imposed; therefore, Light SESA filed an appeal against these fines and the fact that not all its allegations were accepted, and is awaiting ANEELs answer. Infraction notice No. 009/2005 was issued on March 15, 2005 alleging that Light SESA formed the subsidiaries LIR Energy Limited and Light Overseas Investments without the previous approval of ANEEL. The fine imposed by means of this infraction notice amounts to R$6,862. Light SESA did not agree with the allegation of ANEEL and presented its counterarguments. Currently Light SESA is awaiting ANEELs answer. Infraction notice No. 017/2006 was issued on June 16, 2006 alleging that Light SESA violated the DEC and FEC targets of 18 units in 2003. The fine imposed by means of this infraction notice amounts to R$1,426. Light SESA did not agree with the allegation of ANEEL and filed an appeal on June 29, 2006. Currently, it is awaiting ANEELs answer to its appeal.

IV)

Infraction notice No. 022/2006 was issued on August 15, 2006 alleging that Light SESA violated the DEC and FEC targets of 16 units in 2004. The fine imposed by means of this infraction notice amounts to R$1,386. Light SESA did not agree with the infraction notice and filed an appeal with ANEEL on August 28, 2006. Currently, it is awaiting ANEELs answer to its appeal.

n) There are other proceedings for which the Companys management and its legal counsel assess the chances of success as probable or possible, as follows: I) The Central Bank, according to normal procedures and based on their preliminary conclusions about the financial operations conducted by Light SESA between 1997 and 1998, for the acquisition of Eletropaulo Metropolitana S.A., which were compliant with legal and accounting principles of Brazilian legislation, sent an official letter to the Federal Revenue Service and the Federal Government Attorney's Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro, which began their respective administrative procedures, as described in items II and III below. After Light SESA provided the required explanations to the Central Bank, the Central Bank fully reinstated the Certificates of Registration for the securities issued abroad in connection with the above-mentioned operations, and considered that the operations were conducted in compliance with Brazilian foreign exchange rules. II) The criminal investigation has been at the MPF (Regional Attorney's Office of the 2nd Region) since May 18, 2005, and the final police report was issued on April 15, 2005 clearing of the charge of financial offense (article 22 of Law No. 7,492/86). Light SESA expects that the MPF is awaiting the final result of the administrative tax proceeding, according to the paragraph below, in accordance with the guideline provided by the Federal Supreme Court in judgment HC 85299/RJ. Regarding the official letter sent to the Federal Revenue Service, on December 14, 2004 the Federal Revenue Service issued a tax deficiency notice against Light SESA in the total amount of R$481,833, related to the income tax levied on interest paid to the subsidiaries Light Overseas Investment Limited (LOI) and LIR Energy Limited (LIR) on securities issued with the benefit of withholding income tax at 0%. On December 1, 2005, Light presented a defense against the tax deficiency notice. The decision of the lower administrative court issued on July 15, 2005 by the 1st Panel of the Federal Revenue Service Office in Rio de Janeiro (Decision 7810) was favorable to the tax deficiency notice. On August 11, 2005, Light SESA filed a voluntary appeal with the Board of Tax Appeals of the Finance Ministry which was judged on October 19, 2006 favorably to Light SESA.

PENSION PLAN AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Light SESA sponsors Fundao de Seguridade Social BRASLIGHT, a nonprofit closed pension entity, whose purpose is to provide retirement benefits to the Companys employees and pension benefits to their dependents. BRASLIGHT was formed in April 1974 and has three plans - A, B and C established in 1975, 1984 and 1998, respectively, with about 96% of the active participants of the other plans having migrated to Plan C. Plans A and B are Defined Benefit Plans. Plan C is a hybrid plan, in which the scheduled benefits (non-disability retirement and respective change into pension) during the capitalization period are of the defined contribution type and bear no relation to the official government benefits (INSS), and risk-related benefits (sick pay, disability retirement and pension due to death of active participant, or participant with disability or receiving sick pay) and life annuity benefits, if granted, are of the defined benefit type. The annual costs of defined benefits, borne by both the plan participants and the sponsor, are actuarially determined, and the actuarial method used to determine the contribution level is the capitalization method. To fund the defined contribution benefits, the participant chooses the contribution level and the Company makes the contributions related to such level in accordance with the Regulation of Plan C. On October 2, 2001, the Secretariat for Pension Plans (SPC) approved an agreement for resolving the technical deficit and refinancing unamortized reserves related to the Fundao BRASLIGHT pension plans.

Light S.A.

The amounts of R$346,724 for Plans A and B, and R$188,329 for Plan C refer to refinancing of prior commitments assumed with Light SESA and technical deficits recorded through June 30, 2001, and are being amortized in 300 monthly installments beginning July 2001, adjusted based on the IGP-DI (general price index domestic supply) variation (with onemonth lag) and actuarial interest of 6% per annum. The agreement balance as of December 31, 2006 comprises R$557,877 for Plans A and B, and R$303,070 for Plan C, in both cases less amortization in the amount of R$65,656 in 2006, plus monetary adjustment of R$80,035, which corresponds to the variation in the IGPDI (general price index domestic supply) and interest of 6% per annum, totaling R$860,947 as of December 31, 2006 (R$74,084 in Current and R$786,863 in Noncurrent).

Light S.A.

Currency risk Light SESAs indebtedness and results of operations are significantly affected by foreign currency fluctuations on agreements denominated in foreign currency. Considering that a portion of Light SESAs loans and financing is denominated in foreign currency, the company uses derivative financial instruments (swap operations) to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations, which resulted in a loss of R$48,848 in 2006, offset by a decrease in foreign currency-denominated debt. The net balance of swap operations as of December 31, 2006 is negative by R$31,189. Price risk Every year electric power distribution companies request a tariff increase based on nonmanageable cost variations (referred to as Portion A) and the variation of the IGP-M (general market price index) for manageable costs (referred to as Portion B). These requests are reviewed and approved by ANEEL. On a periodic basis, ANEEL performs a tariff revision for the purpose of adjusting the concessionaires tariffs, thus assuring economic and financial balance and reasonable tariffs, by determining the X Factor, which will reduce the IGP-M applied to Portion B. The tariffs under the concession agreement shall assure economic and financial balance for Light SESA. 29. INSURANCE Unaudited Except for transmission and distribution lines, all assets of Light Group are insured for operational risks with all risks coverage. Insurance coverage as of December 31, 2006 is considered sufficient by Management to cover any losses and civil liability, as summarized below: Risk Operational risks Civil liability Directors & Officers (D&O) Effective From To 10/31/06 09/25/06 08/10/06 10/31/07 09/25/07 08/10/07 Insured amount U$1 billion U$10 million U$30 million Premium U$824 thousand U$345 thousand U$195 thousand

30. OVERALL AGREEMENT FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER SECTOR An Emergency Power Rationing Program was created by Executive Act No. 2,198 of August 24, 2001 to reduce power consumption and avoid unplanned interruption in power supply. The average reduction in consumption was estimated at 20%, in relation to the actual consumption for the months of May, June and July 2000. The power rationing program was effective from June 2001 through February 2002, when the government considered the reservoir levels back to normal. In the North region the program was discontinued in January 2002. As a result of the mandatory power rationing implemented by the Brazilian government, the electric power generation and distribution companies experienced a reduction in their profit margins, as their physical and personnel structures could not be reduced in proportion to the consumption reduction quotas imposed by the rationing plan. Thus, they continued incurring fixed costs and financial charges without the corresponding revenue. In addition to the power rationing plan, the distribution companies filed various claims with ANEEL to resolve the economic and financial imbalance of the concession agreements that, according to them, resulted from several events, principally monthly variations in costs referred to as Portion A (nonmanageable costs of distribution companies). In December 2001, the Brazilian government and the electric utilities signed an Overall Agreement for the sector to restore the economic and financial balance of the existing agreements and recover revenues relating to the period the Power Rationing Program was in effect. This Agreement covered margin losses incurred by the electric power distribution and generation companies during the Power Rationing Program, additional costs of Portion A for the period from January 1 to October 25, 2001, costs of electric power purchased through the CCEE from generation companies not committed to initial contracts, called free energy, until December 2001, and substitution of the contractual right set forth in Annex V of the initial contracts (purchase and sale of power) related to the rationing period. The Overall Agreement for the Electric Power Sector also covers the post-rationing period, March to December 2002, to trade the excess energy of the initial contracts for R$73.39 per MWh. The revenue of the distribution and generation companies (free energy) for the rationing period is being recovered by an extraordinary rate recovery (rate increase of 2.9% for residential consumers and 7.9% for all other consumers, except low-income, rural and public lighting categories).

The subsidiary Light SESA reviewed its revenue projections and based on the new projected market, not considering the collection of the Extraordinary Tariff Recovery from Free Consumers due to the non-approval by ANEEL after a public hearing, it was determined that recovery would not be possible within 74 months, which resulted in a provision for loss, net of deferred tax credits, of R$183,760. In addition, there is an allowance for doubtful accounts, in long-term, in the amount of R$34,148 for the unbilled (unamortized) balance of the Extraordinary Tariff Recovery.

Light S.A.

The migration of potentially free consumers to the free market has a significant impact on the collection of the Extraordinary Tariff Recovery, since this tariff increase is not included in the tariffs for free consumers through TUSD (distribution system use tariff). Understanding that, during the rationing, all captive consumers, including free consumers, must share the costs of the Emergency Power Rationing Program, ANEEL held a Public Hearing (AP044/05), on April 10, 2006, to discuss the collection of the Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment from the free consumers but has not yet approved this collection. The provision was reviewed and maintained until a final and irrevocable decision is made with respect to the terms and amounts for the recovery of losses incurred during the rationing period. Pursuant to Circulars No. 2,212/05 and No. 074/06-SFF/SER/ANEEL, the extraordinary tariff recovery balance was adjusted based on SELIC + 1% per annum, in the same manner as for financial costs of financing from the BNDES. 31.

32. NEW CRITERIA FOR CLASSIFICATION OF CONSUMER UNITS INTO LOWINCOME RESIDENTIAL CLASS Law No. 10,438, of April 26, 2002, set new criteria for classification of consumer units into low-income residential class and ANEEL Resolution No. 514, of September 16, 2002, set the accounting procedures and the criteria for recovery of revenues through tariffs of electric power distribution companies. The effects of the application of the new classification criteria as of December 31, 2006 relating to the loss of revenue are estimated at R$261,364. The consumer refund obligation is estimated at R$16,055. Through several Resolutions (the last of which is No. 3, of January 3, 2007), ANEEL approved the amount of R$245,310, relating to loss of revenue in the period from May 2002 to November 2006. As of December 31, 2006, Light SESA has been refunded R$240,740, which is derived from charges included in the concessionaires tariffs, such as the RGR (Global Reserve for Reversion Quota). 33. UNBUNDLING CHANGES IN THE ELECTRIC POWER SECTOR MODEL LAW No. 10,848 OF MARCH 15, 2004 Pursuant to Law No. 10,848, of March 15, 2004, concessionaires, permittees and other authorized distribution companies that operate in the National Interconnected System (SIN), such as Light SESA, cannot be engaged, among other, in the generation and transmission of electric power or hold investments in other companies. Thus, Light SESA implemented the Unbundling Project so that, in compliance with the above-mentioned law, it is engaged only in the distribution of electric power. The Unbundling Project resulted in the creation of the holding Light S.A. Thus, Light S.A. holds: (a) all shares of Light SESA, which remains engaged in the distribution of electric power; (b) all shares of Light Energia, which is engaged in the generation and transmission of electric power; and (c) other equity interests previously held by Light SESA, except for the investments in Light Overseas Investments Limited and LIR Energy Limited, which are based abroad. After the completion of the Unbundling Project, Light S.A. became the holding company of the Light Group and, on February 22, 2006, its shares began to be traded on the New Market of BOVESPA (So Paulo Stock Exchange), under code LIGT3, in lieu of the shares of the former parent company Light SESA, which are no longer traded on that market.

34. ELECTRIC POWER AUCTION Based on the new model for the electric power sector established by Law No. 10,848, of March 15, 2004, and Decree No. 5,163, of July 30, 2004, the distribution companies can no longer utilize their own production to meet the market demand and shall buy all the electric power required at auctions that will take place on a regular basis. Thus, Light SESA had to participate in the first power auction held by the Ministry of Mines and Energy as a seller of the power produced by its plants. At the auction held on December 7, 2004, average 380 MW and 130 MW were sold under agreements with maturities of 8 years for supply starting in January 2005 and 2006, respectively. These amounts represent 95% of the power available for sale by Light SESA (guaranteed power). On October 11, 2005, the subsidiary Light Energia S.A. participated in the third power auction and sold average 12 MW under agreements with maturities of 3 years for supply starting in January 2006. The power amount sold at that auction is equivalent to the first auctions amount whose contracts were rescinded through the MCSD (Excess and Shortage Offset Mechanism). This mechanism was established by the new model for the electric power sector and is designed to reduce the level of purchases by the distribution companies with the withdrawal of free consumers and reduction of their captive market. 55

Light S.A.

35. TARIFF ADJUSTMENT In November 2005, Light SESA obtained an average adjustment of 10.81%, after the validation of the definitive Remuneration Basis related to the 2003 Tariff Revision. This percentage consists of: -1.06% economic adjustment permanently included in tariffs, negative because of the exclusion of PIS and COFINS from the tariff basis; and 11.86% related to financial compensation, mainly derived from the validation of the definitive Remuneration Basis. This financial compensation was only effective for the tariff in the period from November 2005 to October 2006.

Thus, for the November 2006 adjustment, Light SESAs tariffs started at a level 11.86% lower than the tariffs effective until then. On November 7, 2006, Light SESAs tariffs were adjusted by 11.69%, pursuant to ANEEL Resolution No. 391. This adjustment was calculated as follows: 6.29% permanently included in tariffs, reflecting the changes in nonmanageable costs (power purchase, transmission, and industry charges) and adjustment of manageable costs based on the IGP-M, less the X Factor; and 5.4% referring to new financial compensation basically related to past costs not yet included in tariffs. Tariff adjustment - 2006 Structural IRT Financial Compensation CVA Other Total Note: IRT = Tariff Adjustment Index CVA = Recoverable cost variations Portion A Due to the full amortization of the financial compensation of 11.86% from the 2005 adjustment, the average effect on the tariffs charged from end consumers was -0.1%. The 2006 adjustment was within the limits estimated by Light SESA, considering the stable macroeconomic scenario (IGPM variation in the period was 3% and the US dollar - 5%). Note that the effect of the new financial compensation had a R$45 million positive impact on income before taxes for 2006, because it had not been accounted for until approval by ANEEL, pursuant to asset recognition accounting standards. 6.29% 2.42% 2.98% 11.69%

36. SERVICE AND COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM With a commitment to quality service and exceed the markets and customers expectations, Light SESA invested more than R$100 million in a new Service and Commercial Management System (CCS-SAP). This system became operational in March 2006, covering in the first phase all medium and high-tension customers (industrial, commercial, public sector and public service) and a low-tension pilot area located in Itagua. The second phase of the transition started in September 2006, covering low-tension customers totaling 100% of the customers served by Light SESA. Migration was completed in early October 2006 and the system is already in production. Coupled with other actions implemented, this system will introduce a new concept, enabling greater efficiency, security and practicality in customer services and prevention of default and losses of energy. 37. SIGINIFICANT EVENT Significant event notices published on August 10, 2006 a) Change in control In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 358, of January 3, 2002, the Management of Light S.A. and Light SESA announced to their shareholders, the CVM, the So Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) and the market in general the transfer, at that date, of the shares of Light and Lidil Comercial Ltda. held by EDF International S.A. to RME - Rio Minas Energia Participaes S.A. This transaction involved the purchase of 100,719,912,442 common shares of Light and all the shares of Lidil, which holds 5,584,685,447 common shares of Light, resulting in the transfer of a total of 106,304,597,889 common shares of Light, representing at that date 79.39% of the total voting capital of Light. The total share purchase price was US$319,809,871.91 for 106,304,597,889 common shares of Light, or US$3.01 per thousand shares of Light. The price was fully paid in cash by RME on that date, concurrently with the actual transfer of the shares. The Stock Purchase Agreement was signed on March 28, 2006, on the condition that RME agree to conduct a public offering of Lights outstanding shares, pursuant to Law No. 6,404/76, CVM Instruction No. 361/2002, and the New Market Regulations to ensure to Lights other shareholders equal treatment as EDFI. Also at that date, an Addendum to the Stock Purchase Agreement was signed establishing that should RME sell shares of Light directly or indirectly purchased from EDFI within 1 year from that date, RME must pay EDFI 50% of the gain on the sale of those shares, under the Agreement addendum.

57

Light S.A.

In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 358, Light declares that it has no intention to cancel its registration as a publicly-held company within 1 year, and that a shareholders agreement entered into by and between RMEs shareholders is filed at the Companys head office. RME is a holding company, headquartered in the city and state of Rio de Janeiro, at Avenida Rio Branco, 123, sala 1901 (part), enrolled with the National Register of Legal Entities (CNPJ/MF) under No. 07.925.628/0001-47 engaged in investing in companies operating in the electric power industry. Its shareholders are: Companhia Energtica de Minas Gerais CEMIG, Andrade Gutierrez Concesses S.A., Pactual Energia Participaes S.A. and Luce Brasil Fundo de Investimento em Participaes (Luce), which purchased RME shares until then held by JLA Participaes S.A.(JLA). Luces main shareholder is the controlling shareholder of JLA. Light S.A. is a holding company, indirectly engaged in electric power generation, transmission and distribution in part of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Thus, for RME the purchase of Light S.A. is an opportunity to invest in a market with a high growth potential, which currently is the third largest electric power distribution market in Brazil. b) Recognition of reserve for change in control In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 358, of January 3, 2002, the Management of Light S.A. and Light SESA announced to their shareholders, the CVM, the So Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) and the market in general that the Board of Directors of Light SESA, whose decision was confirmed by the Board of Directors of Light, elected at that date, decided to recognize a reserve of approximately R$443.7 million in the statement of operations for the period (July 31, 2006) of Light SESA, with the consequent impact on Light. We describe below the main components of the reserve recognized in the statement of operations for the period: R$ million 1. Recognition of additional reserve for contingencies related to civil, tax, social security, and regulatory lawsuits, as well as administrative proceedings in the labor area, in conformity with CVM Resolution No. 489/05, whose likelihood of unfavorable outcome was considered probable. 2. Adjustment of the recording method of the remaining installments of the Tax Debt Refinancing Program (PAES), as of July 31, 2003. 3. Accrual of the actuarial deficit, basically reflecting the effects of adopting the AT-83 mortality table, in conformity with CGPC Resolution No. 18, of March 28, 2006. 4.

38. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS a) 5th Issue of Debentures R$1 billion In January 2007, Light SESA completed the R$1 billion fund raising with the 5th issue of simple debentures in the market, with final maturity in 2014. The transaction was underwritten by Ita BBA, with the participation of Bradesco, Unibanco, Citibank and BNP Paribas. This issue was intended to reduce foreign exchange exposure, lower costs, and loosen the package of covenants and guarantees of previous transactions, improving Light SESAs indebtedness. Of the total funds raised, R$633 million was used to settle the entire debt represented by the Credit Agreement in Brazilian reais entered into with Banco Ita S.A., as the agent of the loan in Brazilian reais, Bradesco, Ita BBA, and Unibanco on July 12, 2005; R$367 million was used to settle part of the debt represented by the Amended and Restated Indenture entered into with the Issuer, Light S.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank NA and JP Morgan Trust Bank Ltd on March 15, 2006. The remaining amount represented by the Amended and Restated Indenture, of approximately R$466 million, was repaid by the Issuer using own funds.

Corporate Profile
Light S.A. (Light) is a 100 year-old company whose history is closely linked to the industrialization of Rio de Janeiro and So Paulo. The company is engaged in providing services in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric power as well as corelated activities. The company serves 3.8 million consumers and is responsible for 72.0% of the electric power consumed in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a densely packed market that is predominately residential and commercial. The companys generating facilities have excellent levels of performance and the overall quality of electric power supply from Light, measured according to the DEC and FEC indices, places the company among the six best distributors of its size in Brazil. Lights distribution service concession area contains unique characteristics that impose great challenges on the Company, related principally to non-technical losses and payment defaults. On August 10, 2006 Rio Minas Energia Participaes S.A. (RME) assumed control of Light after acquiring 79.4% of the common shares of EDF International S.A. (EDF), introducing new managers and encouraging the renovation of the Companys corporate culture. The controlling shareholders of Light are well known for their competence and their knowledge of the electric power industry in Brazil and have assumed the commitments established under the Bovespa Novo Mercado, through which the Companys shares are traded as LIGT3.

Letter from the Chairman of the Board of Directors


Dear Sirs: We submitted the Management Report, the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Independent Auditors Report to appreciation of customers, shareholders, suppliers, financial community and society. On August 10, 2006 Rio Minas Energia Participaes S.A. (RME) assumed control of Light after acquiring 79.4% of the common shares of EDF International S.A. (EDFI). RME is controlled by four groups - Companhia de Energia de Minas Gerais (CEMIG), AG Concesses, Pactual Energia and Luce Brasil FIP which all hold equal 25% stakes in the Company. The controlling group has credibility and recognized experience and knowledge of the Brazilian Electric energy sector. The change in Lights ownership control in August 2006 brought not only a new group of shareholders but also a plan for the transformation of the Company and a strategic plan with a detailed description of its activities through 2010. In this report, we will describe these activities, which are based on the past achievements of Light and are focused on the opportunities that have already been identified for maximizing the value and exploiting the Companys strengths. Our mission is to make Light a company that is respected and admired for the excellence of the services it provides, for the value it creates for its shareholders and for building an excellent place to work. To accomplish this we will strengthen the Companys traditional businesses and prepare it to launch an aggressive plan of expansion of its activities. To meet these objectives, we have put emphasis on the Corporate Governance structure implemented by the controlling shareholders, which is consistent with the best practices in the market, and we presented a Transformation Plan to our employees that is worthy of their complete support, reinforcing the idea that people who have ideals, who are motivated and are clear about their mission are able to overcome enormous challenges. Our Transformation Plan is composed of two parts: the first recognizes that the Company has an organization and projects that are being well executed, that deserve support and improved. This part we call Continuation and Renovation. The second part consists of 14 projects that will change the way business is conducted and will create the conditions to put Light move forward into the future, as we anticipate in our planning. The Transformation Projects are classified into four groups: Loyal Clients (the market), Efficient Engine (the product), Results (value to the shareholder), and Commitment to the Future (perpetuation). With these projects, we intend to take action in every dimension necessary to transform our corporate culture, promoting our values and making the Company an excellent place to work. We know that our employees are the most important agents in the transformation process and from the very first day, when we described a summary of the Plan to our 12,000 direct and indirect employees, we have dedicated ourselves to earning the unqualified respect and unrestricted cooperation of them all.

Although it has been only a short time since the beginning of its implementation, we can highlight some of the Transformation Plans achievements in 2006. Right from the start we have concentrated our efforts on activities and attitudes that lead to the more efficient use of the Companys resources. The Executive Board was installed in a common meeting room, facilitating the close interaction between its members and speeding up decision making. We concentrated our efforts on eliminating budgetary excesses and unwanted benefits and concentrated the teams efforts on adding value. We reduced the fleet of vehicles by 8% and renegotiated 20% of the total value of contracts for the supply of goods and services. In addition, we set up a Purchasing Desk to guarantee greater cost control efficiencies. We proceeded to issue R$ 1.0 billion in debentures, concluded last January, that was critically important in permitting us to prepay other debts, reducing our financial costs, exposure to exchange rate risk and giving the Company greater operational autonomy. Regarding achievements that contribute to improved earnings, it is important to highlight the satisfactory tariff adjustment that was awarded in November 2006. Because of the Companys total commitment to the process of cultural transformation, we initiated the Face-to-Face Program to promote quarterly meetings between managers and their subordinates, creating a relationship forum for the discussion of results and the progress of projects. The program also opened up a direct channel of communication between employees and the President. Our results improved in 2006. Net revenue totaled R$5.4 billion, increasing 11.0% over 2005. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were R$738 million, declining 3.7% compared to the previous year, and the loss of R$150 million during the year, were both impacted by non-recurring provisions of R$444 million that occurred when the new ownership group took control. If the were not for these adjustments, EBITDA would have increased by 40.5% and net profits by 20.5% in comparison to the previous year. The price performance of our shares during the period, which was significantly higher than Bovespas overall and electric energy sector indices for the year, represent recognition of the market regarding our activities. Great challenges lie ahead. The socio-economic situation in the Companys concession area suffers the impact of critical factors such as economic stagnation and a culture of informality that creates for Light a high level of past due accounts and non-technical losses. The urban violence in the area makes dealing with these problems difficult. Other challenges are the question of the long-term supply of electric power and the need to automate and upgrade the technology of certain elements in the distribution network. On the other hand, Light has important strengths and opportunities. Our employees take great pride in the Company. We have an extensive underground network and now a powerful system of commercial management. The financial environment has improved and inflation continues at low levels. We perceive opportunities in the lack of infrastructure investment in Brazil and the expansion of production in Rio de Janeiro and Esprito Santo. We should stress that large public or private investments such as the new petrochemical complex in Itabora, the Siderrgica do Atlntico (a steel company) in Itagua, the Pan American games

in Rio de Janeiro and the new Rio de Janeiro ring road should have a positive effect on our market. To confront the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities they present, we have prepared a 2007 2010 Strategic Plan that includes the actions to meet the needs of our business and the expectations of stakeholders. We are dealing with the changes to Light in an integrated manner and we are developing the projects in great detail: with action plans, implementation deadlines and expected results. We believe that the ways in which I, my Vice President Ronnie Vaz Moreira and my colleagues on the Executive Board, Roberto Alcoforado, Leonardo Lins de Albuquerque, Paulo Born, Paulo Roberto Ribeiro Pinto, Ana Silvia Matte, Mozart Vitor Serra and Luiz Cludio Cristfaro, are dealing with theses questions, along with the complementary competence of the controlling shareholders and the dedication of our employees, will help the Company achieve its ambitious goals. I would also like to express our confidence and hope that the Federal and State governments taking office on January 1, 2007, working together with municipal administrations, will achieve their goals of a return to national and regional economic growth with the preservation of economic stability. We trust that a cycle of economic and social development and respect for the public good is beginning in Rio de Janeiro, where our concession area is concentrated. We want to express appreciation to our customers, to the regulatory agency ANEEL, to the legislative assembly, the government of the state of Rio de Janeiro and to the mayors and legislative bodies in our concession area, to our shareholders, to the journalists who cover our activities and to our employees for the support that they have offered us throughout the year. Cordially, Jos Luiz Alqures President and CEO

Corporate Governance and Management


Lights management model incorporates the most recent changes in direction to align the interests of the controlling shareholders among themselves and with the executives of the Company all with the primary objective of increasing Lights value. More than simply the appropriate level of control and supervision, this governance model allows the Company to improve its agility, both in taking decisions as well as implementing them. The model clarifies the role of each part of the organization and has four levels: 1. The Shareholders Forum this includes the Controlling Shareholders Forum, the General Meeting and the Fiscal Council. Note that the Controlling Shareholders Forum holds regular meetings to promote understanding, to improve relations and the coordination of decisions among the Controlling Shareholders. The objective is to articulate the long-term vision of the Company.

Governance

2. Interface Forums include the Board of Directors and the Auditing, Finance, Human Resources, Corporate Governance and Management Committees. The Board of Directors is composed of 11 members who serve 2-year terms. Eight members

represent shareholders interests, two are independent representatives and one member represents the employees. The Board of Directors meets at least once per month and the decisions are made, in principle, by consensus, or if there is no consensus, by a majority vote. The members of the Board of Directors are members of the specialized committees. 3. Executive Board composed of the President and CEO, by the Executive Directors and by the Light Institute for Economic and Social Development. The Executive Board is made up of the Vice President for Finance and Investor Relations, and by the Customers, Concession Development, Personnel, Energy and the Environment and Corporate Governance departments, the Light Institute and by Legal Department. The Communication and Internal Auditing Departments have direct reporting relationships to the Office of the President. 4. Consumers Council - is a forum determined by Agncia Nacional de Energia Eltrica (ANEEL), to guarantee that the activities of the Company are in line with the needs of the customers.

Code of Ethics
In concert with the process of transformation of the Company, Light revised its code of ethics to consolidate the values and concepts that are essential to improving relations with clients, shareholders, suppliers, the Government and Society. The new version of the Companys Code of Ethics is available for viewing on the Companys website: www.light.com.br.

The Transformation Plan


The Transformation Plan is based on the recognition that there are organizations and projects that are well executed and which should be supported and occasionally improved through specific actions. The projects included in this stage are referred to as Continuity with Renovation. In a second stage, called Transformation, the Company created 14 Special Projects that make use of the four dimensions of the Balanced Scorecard:

the market (Loyal Customer), the product (An Efficient Machine), shareholder value (results), and perpetuity (Commitment to the Future).

These projects were prepared between August and December 2006, based upon a detailed analysis of the Companys activities. They will produce a substantial improvement in performance, modernizing work methods, instilling great confidence in the team and increasing the recognition of society regarding Lights performance.

Operating Context
The Economic Environment
During 2006, the Brazilian real appreciated against the dollar but without appreciable volatility. The commercial rate for the dollar closed the year quoted at R$2.14 for a devaluation of 8.7% in relation to the real, having therefore, a favorable impact on that part of the Companys debt subject to exchange rate variation. Inflation as measured by the IGP-M, the index used to adjust Lights tariffs, was 3.9% per year. The moderate behavior of inflation made it possible for the Central Bank to gradually reduce the level of interest rates. In December 2006, the SELIC basic interest rate was 13.3% per year, substantially lower than the interest rate at the end of the previous year of 18.0% per year. The reduction in interest rates was beneficial to the Company in that it allowed it to reduce the cost of its debt. Nevertheless, Light continued to be affected by the unique factors that characterized its concession area. The state of the Rio de Janeiro, the second-largest GDP in the country, grew at rates much higher than Brazil as a whole; however, this phenomenon is closely linked to the oil industry. Lights concession area, consisting of the metropolitan region and municipality of Rio de Janeiro, benefited little from the increase in economic activity in other parts of the state. To the contrary, the municipality and the metropolitan region suffered a decline in their respective internal products, having a strong impact on Lights business activities, such as, for example: the absence of new consumers with high demand; an increase in the rate of unemployment; an increase in the number of the informal economy; high rates of energy theft and past due accounts; an increase in urban crime, making it harder to track down energy theft. In addition, Light was confronting a large volume of past due accounts in the public sector because existing legislation does not permit energy distributors to cut the supply of power to installations that provide an essential public service. The federal, state and municipal governments, including the balance due from public service concessionaires, owed Light R$578 million at December 31, 2006. Faced with this situation, Light opted for a pro-active program with regard to the issues that affect its business. This posture can be summarized in a few points: the reestablishment of a commercial relationship with the communities with a large percentage of overdue accounts and the attempt to resolve back debts in a way that the monthly flow of receivables is preserved; the implementation of efforts to improve the regulation of the electric power sector and for raising awareness on the part of public authorities about the issues and problems in this concession area;

the taking of decisive action to create a change in thinking, participating in community educational activities and intensifying direct contact with public administrators; the striving for improvement of internal processes to maximize the return on operations. As a result of this activity, a significant portion of the past due accounts was renegotiated between August 1 and December 31, 2006, a process that was accelerated early in 2007. Seek the expansion and diversification of its business

Operating Performance
An understanding of the operating performance of the Company must take into consideration the context in the concession area. The Light Group engages in three different types of businesses: distribution, carried out by Light Servios de Eletricidade S.A. (Light SESA); generation, carried out by Light Energia S.A. (Light Energia); and energy sales the and infrastructure services carried out by Light Esco Prestao de Servios Ltda. (Light Esco). Since the beginning of 2006, as a result of the process of deverticalization mandated by Law 10.848/2004 that prohibits electric power distribution companies from engaging in generation activities as well less participating in other corporations, each of these activities is performed by a subsidiary company.

Services of Energy Distribution


Light SESA is the company that provides electric power distribution services and is responsible for the principal source of revenue for the Group. Revenues from the sale of energy are based on the captive market, which is made up of consumers whose consumption unit has contracted demand of less than 3MW. In its concession area, residential and commercial customers predominate. In 2006, Light billed 18,260 GWh from the sale of power to the captive market, a reduction of 4.6% in comparison with 2005. This decline occurred as a result of the migration of industrial customers from consumption class A2 and A4 the (customers served by high tension lines 88 to 138 kV and 2,3 kV to 25kV respectively) to the free market, as well as by the impact both the reduction in the number of days billed and temperatures below the historical average.

On December 31, 2006, Light had 3,801,692 consumer units in its network, an increase of 0.7% compared to the year before. The P2 Project Selling More and Better one of the special projects in the Transformation Plan, was started with the objective of increasing the Companys revenues both in regulated, as well as non-regulated markets. The project surveyed initiatives that will be implemented throughout 2007. Among these, we should mention a supply of tariff products destined for large customers and the sale of advertising space on monthly bills, the vehicle fleet, the web site and billboards; more intensive efforts to sell power outside the concession area and providing technical consulting services to large customers. The quickwins highlights of this project are the first contracts for sale by Light Esco to free market customers outside the concession area a total of 20 MW over a five-year period. Tariffs The tariffs that Light charges its customers are adjusted every year in November. The rate adjustment contains a permanent component that reflects the variations in costs that are beyond the control of Management (purchase of power, transmission and sectorial fees) and the adjustment of manageable costs by the IGP-M reduced by Factor X. To this adjustment may be added another component not permanently included in the tariffs that corresponds to occasional related financial costs and other issues. Active participation in this process is designed to ensure that the adjustment incorporates the full variation in those costs over which the Company has no control. In November 2005, after the final validation of the Regulatory Remuneration Base(BRR) referring to the Tariff Revision both 2003, Light obtained an average adjustment of 10.81%. This percentage was composed of:

2,858

3,105

- 1.06% flow of the economic adjustment permanently incorporated into the tariffs, negative because of the removal of PIS and COFINS taxes from the tariff base; and 11.86% referring to additional financial costs, whose principal origin was the validation of the final BRR. This amount of additional financial costs was applied only to the tariffs for the period November 2005 October 2006. Therefore, for the readjustment of November 2006, Lights tariffs start from a level 11.86% lower than the tariffs applied up to that time. On November 7, 2006 Lights tariffs were readjusted by 11.69% in accordance with ANEEL Resolution n 391. This percentage was composed of: 6.3% => Incorporated permanently in the tariffs, reflecting the variation in nonmanageable costs (purchase of power, transmission and sectorial fees) and the adjustment of manageable costs by the IGP-M derived from Factor X; and 5.4% =>to cover additional financial costs related essentially to past issues still not included in the tariffs.

Because the additional financial costs of 11.86% were completely amortized by the adjustment of 2005, the average impact of the tariff adjustment applied to final consumers was -0.1%. The 2006 adjustment was within the range anticipated by the Company, taking into account the stable macroeconomic environment (changes in the IGPM during the period were 3%, while the dollar declined by -5%).

Past Due Accounts


During recent years Light has been faced with high levels of past due accounts. In part, this is due to the economic and social issues in its concession area already described above. However, the Company has also been subjected to losses due to the failure the public authorities and public services providers to pay their past due accounts. The largest debt is owed by Supervia, which has a debt of R$159 million with unpaid bills dating from 2002. CEDAE renegotiated its debt in December and no longer appears as a debtor of the Company.

The risk of failure to pay of the Company measured by the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts over gross income was 4.2% in 2006. The Company has been working continuously to improve its ability to combat past due accounts. A new billing and customer management system that went into effect in October 2006, CCS - SAP, not only improved the quality control of billing, but also permits greater efficiency in collection an important tool for the development of more effective actions. The objective of the special project in the Transformation Plan P3 100% Receivables is to increase the ability to attack past due accounts. This project provides the processes, the strategies for collection and policies for negotiation of open accounts. As a result of this review, the Project evolved into an action plan which will be implemented during 2007. The principal measures that the company will adopt over the course of this year are: (i) (ii) the negation of low tension clients in the SPC; the centralization of previously decentralized collection efforts through a contact center cell that will conduct differentiated collection actions regarding the 30,000 largest low tension clients; the change in the timetable of collection activities; the change in the rules governing installation payments; the maximizing of cut-offs in the supply of energy; the application of more incentives to external collections.

(iii) (iv) (v) (vi)

In addition to the initiative involving the Companys internal processes, Light will act jointly with the regulatory agencies to make them aware of the need to change the regulations of the sector to allow the distributors to react more quickly to past due customers. At the same time, the Company will seek support in the judicial and political segments, to make them aware of the need for conditions for applying effective instruments against customers who fail to pay and motivating the public authorities to be an example for society by keeping their accounts up-to-date. The Company will make regular visits to strengthen the relationship with larger customers and will introduce new technology make sure that their procedures are more agile, effective and less expensive. The directors and superintendents participate in collection actions and the attempt to and convince customers of the importance of keeping their part of the bargain: to pay their arrears.

Energy Losses
The electric power distribution business involves energy losses. These losses are both technical and non-technical in nature. An informality culture exists in the Companys concession area that translates into tax evasion, nonpayment of debt and non-payment to public service concessionaires and cable TV networks, along with the widespread practice of energy theft.

The index of total losses at December 2006 on a 12-month moving average was 25.5% of own load (that is, with respect to energy distributed to captive customers), and 19.8% of grid load (with respect to the total energy transported on its network). The verified growth in losses of own load compared to December 2005 (23.6% 12-month moving average) was severely impacted by the following features: the lower number of billing days in 2006 compared to 2005 (two days less of high tension billing and three days less in low tension billing); the migration of customers from the captive market to the free market, and area of activity of Light Esco; a reduction, beginning in September, in the pace of the energy recovery activities due to the implementation and stabilization of the new commercial management system. The P4 project of the Transformation Plan No energy theft connections - contains a set of actions developed at three levels: raising the awareness of internal and external publics through communication campaigns; the institutional articulation with government agencies involved (legal system, police, and other concessionaires) and the technical activities such as changes in standards and operations. With regard to administrative losses, the goal is to eliminate them as much as possible by improving procedures. The work on this project during 2006 established a set of actions that will be implemented in 2007. These actions will be directed at informal energy theft on various fronts simultaneously. They are: regular tracking of losses; inspection practices (the way of using the Companys own labor force as opposed to outsourced employees, dealing with clandestine connections); issues related to normalization (measurement equipment, closing and locking procedures, the use of seals and systematic monitoring); negotiation of collection in the case of fraud. In addition, Light will use various communications actions, such as linking the campaigns with a partnership proposal with the customer, releasing information about citizenship activities through all volunteer projects, investments and energy efficiency, and an approximation with the judiciary through seminars about energy recovery, payment defaults and other relevant points.

Highlights of the above table: (i) the supply contract with Termeltrica Norte Fluminense from which the Company acquires 25.4% of its electric power; (ii) the current levels of energy losses (6.251 GWh); and (iii) the preponderance of residential and commercial consumers where the tariff charged is higher than in other segments. Energy Billed In 2006, the captive electric power market served by Light consumed 18,260 GWh, 4.6% less than the previous year (-879 GWh). This decline was caused mostly by migration of free consumers (seven industrial and three commercial), by the reduction in the number of days billed and by the average temperature in the region. Climate factors, such as lower temperatures recorded at certain times of the year compared to 2005, such as during the second quarter (-1.9 C), had a negative impact on results for the year.

Own Load During 2006, Lights load was 24,511 GWh, a decline of 2.1% compared to 2005.

Customer Service One of the most important actions undertaken in 2006 was the startup of the customer sales management system including the SAP billing module, the Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) and the Data Warehouse (DW) where R$105 million was invested from 2004 to 2006. This was the largest migration of a consumer base ever carried out in the Brazilian power sector. The Client Management System has modern tools for customer relationship, permitting personalized products in addition to increasing the accuracy and speed of services through increased availability of information. Specifically, this system makes possible: increased control and speed in providing services in the field (new connections, reconnections, meter exchange, control of inspection for abnormalities, etc.); consolidation of the channels of communication (agencies, telephone hotlines, virtual agencies and an ombudsman); better knowledge about the customer profile to improve services (history of consumption, billing, contacts and the quality of service); larger service offering. In 2006, Light continued to modernize and standardize its commercial branches, a project begun in 2004. The new agencies offer an environment that is much more practical, modern and innovative. The branches in Itagua, Volta Redonda, Copacabana and Belford Roxo were entirely refgurbished, and new branches were opened in Ilha do Governador, Carmo and Paty do Alferes. These inaugurations reflect the Companys policy with regard to increasing the points of contact and personal service. From 2004 to 2006, Light increased the number of agencies available to the population from 24 to 33, spread around 31 municipalities in the concession area, investing more than R$3 million in the project In addition to improvements at the commercial branches, Light invested in other channels to speedily and comfortably service its customers: the Virtual Branch, Disque-Light and Emergency channels, all functioning 24 hours a day. These channels offer full comfort, safety and ease of use without customers having to leave their homes of cities in which they reside. The results of these activities are monitored by means of satisfaction surveys conducted by the Brazilian Association of Electric Energy Distributors (ABRADEE) and by Light itself.

The P1 project of the Transformation Plan Customers: to Know Them is to Serve Them Better developed a relationship model for clients that in addition to ensuring and increasing satisfaction, supports the efforts to increase sales. The project redesigned the principal commercial services (new subscribers, customer service, meter reading and collection, service interruptions and collections); identified opportunities for rapid implementation and profit (quickwins); established a set of indicators for monitoring performance; and developed a new service policy to be implemented during 2007. Quality of Services In 2006, Light implemented a new policy for the maintenance of the electric power network through a new set of more closely focused activities and a better asset management system. In 2006 alone, R$116 million was invested in improving the quality of services provided. Of particular note were the funds invested in providing service to new subscribers; the replacement of equipment in the energy distribution grid; and the modernization of Distribution Management System (SGD) technology. The new SGD features permit acquisition of new data more rapidly and improve information quality. The maintenance activities combined with greater speed in dealing with problems that come up in the network contributed to the improvement in the the Companys quality indicators. By the end of the year, the quality of supply indicators ELC (Equivalent Length of Interruption) and the EFC, (Equivalent Frequency of Interruption) were 8.0 hours and 6.3 interruptions, respectively confirming the downward trend that has been observed in recent years, showing the evolution of the quality of the services provided by Light.

Thus if we compare the results for 2006 with the results from 1997, the year the Company was privatized, we observe a reduction of 50% in the ELC and 56% in the EFC. In comparison with 2005, the reduction was 7% in the ELC and 17% in the EFC, results that will certainly keep Light very well positioned in ANEELs ranking of the largest power distributors in the country with regard to quality indicators. Among distributors with more than one million customers, Light is the third ranked with regard to the duration of interruptions (ELC and its ranks sixth on the frequency of interruptions index (EFC).

Generation
Through its Light Energia subsidiary, Light generates power at dams along the Paraba do Sul and Ribeiro das Lages Rivers, using power plants located in the states of Rio de Janeiro and So Paulo. The maximum power potential of the Light Generating System is 855 MW. The system is made up of five generating plants, two elevating plants and other hydraulic structures such as reservoirs, dams, canals, dikes, tunnels, spillways, forced conduits and water switches, which also represent investments made in generation by the Company.

Sales and Infrastructure Services


Light Esco conducts the sale of electric power. It is a company specializing in integrating energy solutions when acting as a partner with power plants to find the best alternatives for the acquisition and optimization of energy use. Its activities are subdivided into two segments; sale of energy on the free-market from alternative/incentive energy sources; and infrastructure services. In the sale energy, Light Esco acts as a trader, broker, consultant and customer representative in negotiations for the purchase of energy. As an infrastructure service provider, Light Esco provides energy consulting, project and assembly services for energy efficiency, cold water and infrastructure projects. Light Esco is an important part of the competitive dynamic of the Company since it can compete for sales to free market customers outside Lights concession area. The loss of income by Light SESA from the migration of large consumers to the free market was partially offset by Light Esco, since its sales in the free market increased by 11.7% in 2006, an

increase of 485 GWh. In addition, Light Esco won two new customers outside the Light SESA concession area. As part of the development of the P2 project of the Transformation Plan - Selling More and Better - the Company intends to expand its range of services to include the location of generators, solar heating and property security. In 2006, the customers to whom Light Esco provides services in the free market purchased a total volume of 880 GWh, reaching 128 MW on average in December 2006.

Capital Expenditures
In 2006 Lights capital expenditures totaled R$322 million, distributed as shown in the following chart:

Administration The Companys main investment in 2006 was the continuation of the implementation of the customer commercial management systems SAP customer management module, begun in 2004, with R$40 million invested in 2006 and a total of R$105 million invested in the process over the past three years.

Workplace Safety
Light has been making substantial progress in improving the performance of dangerous business activities where the preservation of life and the physical integrity of its employees,

the employees of its partners and members of society are of paramount importance. The following actions in 2006 were designed to meet this objective. 1) Workplace Safety Management Audits, a specific program for the methodological and systemic control and monitoring of the degree of compliance with prevention practices, were conducted, both for our own as well as the teams of outsourced companies. Six (6) audits were carried out of our own operating area groups, encompassing 32 Emergency Service teams. A total of 24 (twenty-four) audits of outsourced companies were conducted involving 114 teams. 2) A Committee was created for the implementation of actions designed to satisfy new Regulatory Rule 10 Electricity Service and Installations Safety. This committee is made up of representatives from the following areas: Superintendency of the High Tension Operation and Maintenance System; Power Plant Superintendency; Technical Superintendency; Department of Safety and Occupational Medicine. 3) Some 382 safety inspections were conducted of operating teams and buildings. The Workplace Safety Inspection Program is designed to identify eventual non-compliance with workplace safety legislation, regulations and practices in advance, proposing the necessary corrective measures and thus contributing to the maintenance of a preventive culture within the Company, reducing the risk of accidents. In 2006, the frequency rate of Lights workplace accidents with lost time was 2.93, a reduction over 2005s rate of 3.75. It should be noted that this indicator has been lower than the industry average, as shown the following chart.

Regulatory Frontiers

Because it operates in a highly regulated sector where a number of decisions by the regulatory agency can have a substantial impact on its business, Light must be pro-active with regard to industry regulation. The P11 Concession Added Value project is one of the elements of the Companys Transformation Plan, which is designed to guarantee the sustainability and strengthening of the concession and to obtain better results (risk and return) for shareholders. It will transform Light into one of the benchmark companies for the improvement of the Brazilian electrical sectors legal and regulatory framework and should ensure that the Company takes full advantage of the conditions established in the regulation of the sector and its concession contract. Towards this goal, over the next few years the Company will focus on the Second Cycle of Tariff Reviews, the Annual Tariff Adjustment Process and a number of critical issues related to improving the regulatory environment. Lights Periodic Tariff Review takes place at an interval of every five years, as established in its concession contract, and is designed to guarantee tariff price moderation as well as to incorporate efficiency incentives. The process results in the definition of the base tariff for the next five years, in which a new value is established after analysis of all efficient costs, prudent investments (Regulatory Compensation Base) and the Companys market. Besides deciding on the tariff, the Review process determines the Factor X, designed to allow consumers to share in power distribution companies productivity gains. Lights next Tariff Review will occur in November 2008, with the process of the exchange of information with ANEEL beginning in January of the same year. The Company is preparing itself for this process, seeking financial balance of the concession through recognition of its specifics in the new tariff as well as tariff moderation for end consumers. As explained in the section on Tariffs, Lights rates to end-users are adjusted annually in November. The tariff adjustment contains a component that is permanently incorporated into the rates that reflects the variation of non-manageable costs (power purchases, transmission and sectorial charges) and the updating of manageable costs by the IGP-M, developing Factor X. Another component not incorporated into the rates that corresponds to eventual additional financial expenses related to other questions can be added. The active participation in this process is meant to ensure that the adjustment incorporates the full variation of costs that are not manageable by the Company. With regard to improving the regulatory environment, the Company intends to engage the regulatory agency to make it aware of the need to adopt different criteria that satisfy the specific characteristics of its concession area. On the other hand, the Company will more systematically analyze the operating procedures that have been adopted, ensuring that they are constantly adjusted to existing regulations and subsequent changes in order to minimize problems during the regular inspections to which it is routinely submitted by the regulatory agency.

In addition, it should be noted that despite the fact that the Federal government requires the participation of the Company in the Light for Everyone Program, the number of new subscribers that have resulted is not significant compared to the current universe of its consumers, because Lights concession area already has a high electric energy penetration rate. Nevertheless, in 2006 the Company connected nearly 1,000 new customers in inland sections of the state and the Baixada Fluminense area, investing approximately R$7 million and contributing to the social and economic development of these regions.

Financial Comments and the Capital Markets


Financial Performance
Lights economic-financial performance in 2006 improved over the previous year, mainly due to the rate adjustment implemented at the end of 2005. However, the Company set aside non-recurring provisions totaling R$444 million during the third quarter of the year that not only reduced the EBITDA but also led to a R$150 million net loss. Excluding these provisions, the Companys EBITDA would have been R$1,076 million, 40.6% higher than in 2005. Furthermore, the Company would have posted a net income of R$293 million, 21.0% higher than 2005s net income 2005. Revenues Lights net revenues rose 11.0% in 2006, reaching R$5.4 billion. All of its revenue streams increased, notably revenues related to energy sold, which represented 85.5% of total revenues and was responsible for the improvement in its operating performance.

Revenues from energy sold totaled R$4.6 billion in 2006, an increase of 6.9% over the same period the previous year. This was caused mainly by the 10.8% average tariff adjustment (including the CVA pass-through) authorized on November 6, 2005, which compensated for the 4.6% decline in captive market power consumption to 18,260 GWh. Power consumption in the residential, commercial and other customer segments remained relatively stable, although there was a decrease in consumption in the industrial segment as a result of the migration of customers (A2 and A4 customers served by 88 and 138 kV and 2.3 to 25 kV lines, respectively and customers receiving supply of between 88 and 138 kW) to the free market. Other factors that also contributed to this level of consumption included low temperatures in different periods of the year as well as the effect of the reduction in the number of billing days. The network usage revenues (7.1% of net revenues) totaled R$384 million, representing an increase of 21.7% over the previous year while revenues for own generation sold in auction totaled R$237 million, a 54.2% rise in 2006. Sales of power on the spot market increased

494% to R$107 million due to consumption that led the company to earmark the surplus of contracted power to this market. Physical sales on the spot market increased from 640GWh to 1,610GWh. Costs and expenses

Non-manageable costs, which include purchased power and the CCC-CDE accounts (sectorial charges), totaled R$3.3 billion for the year. The 5.2% increase in non-manageable costs was lower than the rise in revenues, leading to a 3.4 percentage point contribution to EBITDA margin. Manageable costs were stable as a percentage of net revenues, although personnel expenses rose 20.0%, due to provisions for employee profit sharing payments and a salary increase awarded in May 2006. Payments to third parties increased 11.4% because of contract adjustments. On the other hand, expenses with provisions rose to 13.6% of net revenues in 2006, compared to 9.8% the previous year, mainly due to non-recurring provisions booked on July 31, 2006 (Relevant Fact published August 10, 2006). Among these, the largest provision with an impact on the EBITDA was with regard to Braslights R$150 million actuarial deficit. Overall, the Company created R$444 million in provisions during the third quarter of 2006, of which R$338 million were recognized in operating accounts, reducing the Companys EBITDA. EBITDA in 2006 was R$738 million, 3.6% lower than in 2005, representing an EBITDA margin of 13.6%. When the effect of these provisions is excluded, the EBITDA would have increased 40.5% to R$1,076 million, reaching an EBITDA margin of 19.8%.

The Company ended the year with a R$150 million net loss, mainly caused by the aforementioned provisions that impacted both the EBITDA as well as the financial expenses that offset the growth in revenues derived from the tariff increase. Excluding the impact of the provisions, the Company would have posted R$293,000 in net income. Financial Situation

In addition, the Company will use approximately R$466 million of its own funds to completely pay off these debts in advance, reducing the total debt by this amount. Also in January 2007, the Board of Directors approved a reduction in Light S.A.s capital of R$288 million, while that of its Light SESA subsidiary was reduced by R$3 billion as a result of the absorption of losses accumulated through September 30, 2006.

Moreover, in the climate of renovation and transformation the Company currently is undergoing, the role played by its leaders is extremely important. The A Great Place to Work survey conducted a few days before RME became the controlling owner of Light demonstrated that the Company has employees who are very proud to work for Light and have a strong spirit of camaraderie, factors that doubtless will be important allies for the new groups project. On the other hand, the survey showed that the Companys management team needs to improve its credibility. The Transformation Plans Project 12 A great place to work defined seven points of action: 1) Leadership: To train managers to be leaders and to encourage exemplary attitudes; 2) Knowledge Management: To create the Light Academy a center that fosters knowledge management for employees, work partners and customers; 3) Workplace Safety: To improve Lights culture of prevention, with the preservation of life becoming a business commitment; 4) Quality of Life: To offer stimulating installations, generating employee well being and nurturing a climate of propriety and good maintenance; 5) Correction of Distortions: To implement immediate and exemplary actions that seek to correct situations that could compromise the organizational climate; 6) Professional Realization: To increase prospects for growth and mobility, develop talents and compensate employees based upon the market and results; 7) Transparency: To promote greater involvement and participation of people through wide ranging communication and direct conversations between the leaders and employees. Some of the actions of this project were initiated during 2006. Of these, particularly notable were the Transparency activities.

The Company approved its statutes and the actions required to launch the Academy during the first quarter of 2007. The Light Academy is a center of human development and knowledge management, integrating the bases for the sustainable growth of the Company and the vision of its commitment to the future. Also as part of its personnel development program, Light runs a trainee program to identify, attract and train talented young people, improving the opportunities of new professionals in the job market.

For this, the Company identifies and develops strategic projects with qualitative results designed to improve the quality of its services, boost productivity gains and strengthen its image. In addition, these projects include training of employees that focus on improving economic results, reducing costs and tariff structure and in registering patents and innovative equipment. Lights R&D projects in 2006 concentrated on these areas: the environment; the combat of energy losses and past due accounts;

customer service and satisfaction; the energy market; regulatory aspects; needy communities; improvement in the operating conditions of the power generation, transmission and distribution system.

The Environment
Lights Environmental Policy is based on NBR ISO 14001 and is in line with the Companys declaration of intentions and principles regarding its overall environmental performance. It was created in 2001 on the occasion of the implementation of the Corporate Environmental Management Pilot System (SGA), which consists of a program for the certification of units in accordance with the NBR ISO14001 parameters. Since then, the SGA has certified 59 units. This year, 64 units are developing the SGA system, with certification expected by the end of 2007. Light should be fully adjusted to the ISO 14001 requirements in 2010, with 423 certified installations. In 2006, an outside audit maintained the certifications of the sites received three years previously upon the setting up of the SGA Pilot Project. Another audit also maintained the triple certification of the generating parks facilities of NBR ISO 9001 (quality), NBR ISO 14001 (environment) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety). Light has an agreement with the SOS Mata Atlntica Foundation, the largest Brazilian environmental non-governmental organization (NGO). This NGO has made a commitment to donate a total of 500,000 tree seedlings to the Degraded Areas Recovery Program (PRAD) or the Light Reforestation Program. Over the past five years, approximately 100,000 seedlings were planted in more than 440 hectares of Atlantic Forest areas. Since the beginning of the PRAD, about 3 million seedlings have been planted, directly benefiting other uses of the water in the Companys hydroelectric reservoirs. Another PRAD action was initiation of recovery of an area on the right shoulder of the Ponte Coberta Dam in Pira in southern Rio de Janeiro state, using bio-engineering resources involving placement of a vegetation-based bio-cover. R&D partnership projects with three Brazilian universities were maintained, focused on enhancing the environmental quality of the Companys reservoirs.

Social Action

The activities in these four fields will be channeled directly through Lights directors (especially the directors of Customers, Personnel and the Environment and Energy) through the Cultural Center or supporting institutions and outside companies. Among the projects that are currently scheduled is one being developed with the Rio de Janeiro city government to create a leisure area and to build public housing in the Madureira neighborhood, one of the most important in the citys North Zone. Using new technology, Light will reduce the amount of space used in electric transmission line rights-of-way from 100 to 20 meters, freeing up a large area for the construction of a public park in the location. The Light Institute also has the responsibility of organizing cultural events, some of which benefiting from incentives through the Rouanet and ICMS-RJ Laws. In 2006, the Institutes projects were chosen for being compatible with Lights size and interests, for links to social programs and for being run by private and individual initiative. The main sponsorship funding went to the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (R$750,000), the Book Biennial (R$750,000) the Rio de Janeiro Film Festival (R$300,000), the Casa do Pontal Museum (R$210,000) and the Feira da Providncia charity fair (R$260,000), the latter being considered to be of special social importance.
