4 Our audits were conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Brazil and included: (a) planning of the audit work, considering the materiality of the balances, the volume of transactions and the accounting systems and internal accounting controls of the Company and its subsidiaries; (b) verification, on a test basis, of the evidence and records which support the amounts and accounting information disclosed; and (c) evaluation of the most significant accounting policies and estimates adopted by Company management and its subsidiaries, as well as the presentation of the financial statements taken as a whole.

5 In our opinion, based on our audit and on the reports issued by the other independent auditors of the indirect subsidiaries, as mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, the financial statements described in the paragraph 1 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CPFL Energia S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows and added value for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

6 As mentioned in Note 3, item (b.1), as result of the second periodical tariff review established in the concession agreement, the Brazilian Electricity Agency (ANEEL) ratified, on a temporary basis, the percentage to be applied to the tariffs of its direct subsidiaries, Companhia Piratininga de Força e Luz, Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz, and Rio Grande Energia S.A. The possible effects resulting from this final review, if any, will be recorded in the Company’s equity and financial position in subsequent periods.

7 As mentioned in Note 2.1, as a result of the changes in accounting practices adopted in Brazil during 2008, the financial statements referring to the previous year, presented for comparison purposes, were restated and are being presented as established in NPC 12 - Accounting Practices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Correction of Errors, except for the Statement of Changes in Financial Position which was replaced, in accordance with Law 11638/07, by the Statement of Cash Flows.

13.01 – MANAGEMENT REPORT 

Management Report

Dear Shareholders,

In accordance with the legal and statutory provisions, the management of CPFL Energia S.A. (CPFL Energia) submits for your examination the company’s Management Report and Financial Statements, including the report of the Independent Auditors and the Fiscal Council for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. All comparisons in this Report are based on consolidated data for the same period a year earlier, except when otherwise stated.

1. Initial Considerations

In 2008, CPFL Energia’s strategy of strengthening its position in the Brazilian electricity sector by diversifying its business portfolio and increasing its operating efficiency proved to be highly successful. We concluded construction of the Castro Alves Hydroelectric Plant (130 MW) and the first turbine of the 14 de Julho Hydroelectric Plant (representing 50% of the plant’s 100 MW installed capacity) began operations, raising our total installed capacity to 1,704 MW. We also proceeded with construction of the 855 MW Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Plant, which is scheduled for start-up in 2010, when the group’s generation capacity should reach 2,202 MW.

We also continued restructuring the distributors acquired in 2006 and 2007, and further diversified our energy portfolio with the creation of CPFL Bioenergia, through which we established a partnership in August 2008 to invest in a 45 MW co-generation plant fueled by sugarcane biomass, whose surplus energy (25 MW) will be fully available for commercialization on the free market as of April 2010. We also created CPFL Atende, a contact center and call center service.

Group’s energy sales in the concession area reflected Brazil’s strong growth in the first nine months of 2008, totaling 49,033 GWh, 5.5% up on the 46,475 GWh recorded in 2007, 11,710 GWh of which billed through the Distribution System Usage Tariff (TUSD). Captive market sales totaled 37,323 GWh, an upturn of 5.9%, with hefty consumption increases in the residential (8.2%), industrial (4.7%) and commercial (6.5%) segments. In the latter segment, we maintained our leadership of the Brazilian market, with a share of 13% and over 6.4 million consumers, with 169,000 new connections. We also strengthened our position in energy sales to free customers and through the execution of bilateral contracts, with total sales of 8,904 GWh. In the commercialization segment, we continued to lead the market, with a 22% share. In addition, we developed a consistent strategy for the sale of value-added services, which have recorded steady growth in recent years.

Thanks to this performance, together with the continuous management of operating costs and expenses, debt and financial expenses, and the constant drive for efficiency and productivity gains, CPFL Energia posted an excellent period result, despite the tariff repositioning of the group’s distributors. Gross revenue totaled R$ 14,372 million, 1.2% up on the previous year, while EBITDA fell by 16.1% to R$ 2,808 million and Net Income recorded a 22.2% slide to R$ 1,276 million. In addition, part of our corporate agenda was given over to drafting the 2009-13 Strategic Plan, in which we defined the bases for growing and strengthening our business over the next five years. We also modified our organizational structure and management model in line with CPFL Energia’s corporate governance guidelines and fine-tuned our internal control mechanisms, as well as revising our brand positioning and architecture and our strategic drivers (vision, mission and principles), whose purpose is to align the organizational culture and practices of the group’s companies. We also took further action to reduce operating costs, intensifying the measures adopted in the first half of 2008. In December, we created the CPFL Corporate University, an important instrument for developing our employees’ strategic business skills and making the best possible use of our investments in their personal development.

34


In this context, we cannot help but highlight the ample recognition CPFL Energia received from the market and its stakeholders for its commitment to building a solid organizational culture based on outstanding corporate governance practices. At the beginning of the year, the Company obtained a corporate governance AA+ rating from Austin Rating agency, the best classification for a Brazilian company since 2005, when the evaluation started to be applied in the country. CPFL Energia was also voted the company with the best corporate governance in Latin America by Latin Finance magazine and the consulting firm Management & Excellence, following a survey of the 50 non-financial companies with the highest market capitalization. In October, CPFL Energia became the first Brazilian company to receive the Client Leadership Award from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank member organization. The award was granted in recognition of the group’s differentiated corporate governance practices and socio-environmental programs, including initiatives to combat energy losses and mitigate climate change arising from global warming. Finally, for the fourth year in a row, CPFL Energia’s shares were included in the São Paulo Stock Exchange’s Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE), which consists of companies whose business processes are characterized by the permanent and integrated management of their economic, social and environmental aspects.

Other important acknowledgments of CPFL Energia’s achievements were its inclusion, for the sixth year, as a “Model Company” by the Guia Exame de Sustentabilidade 2008, and, for the seventh year, in the Guia Exame/Você S.A. list of the “Best Companies to Work For in Brazil”. The group was also well-positioned, for the second year, in the Carta Capital magazine survey of the most admired companies in Brazil.

Among the subsidiaries, CPFL Paulista did exceptionally well, winning the National Quality Award (PNQ) for the second year, the most important corporate excellence award in the country and one of the most respected in the world. This recognition ratified the five 2008 Abradee Awards conferred on the company, including the best distributor in Brazil with more than 400,000 consumers, and the 2008 Southeast IASC (Aneel Consumer Satisfaction Index) Award, in the same category. Another highlight was CPFL Jaguari, which at the beginning of the year received the 2007 IASC Brazil Award as the country’s best distribution concessionaire, following a survey of residential consumers of all the energy distributors.

For these reasons, CPFL Energia would like to thank its shareholders, clients, employees, suppliers, public authorities, regulatory agencies, social organizations and the communities in its concession areas for their support and confidence, reaffirming its commitment to generating value for its stakeholders and fully aware of its responsibility for contributing to Brazil's growth and development.

2. Comments on the Conjecture

MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Brazil’s economy experienced two highly distinct phases in 2008. Until September, as in the previous year and along with the other emerging market economies, it showed exceptionally robust growth, unlike the developed nations, which had been undergoing a severe slowdown since the end of 2007 following the collapse of the real estate bubble in the United States and various European countries. After September, when the crisis suddenly worsened, Brazil was also jeopardized, although this was much more due to the worldwide crisis of confidence than to those factors that had affected the country in previous international crises, related to uncertainties regarding the country’s public and foreign debt.

Thus 2009 is beginning with a series of major challenges, which will take some time to be overcome. However, the unprecedented solvency of Brazil’s economy (mainly thanks to the substantial foreign reserve cushion built up in recent years) has allowed the authorities to implement anti-cyclic economic policies for the first time in 35 years (interest rate reductions, the freeing of reserve requirements, increased public expenditure and tax cuts, among others). Consequently, the domestic downturn has a very good chance of being less severe and the resulting recovery more rapid than in the developed countries.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The year was marked by the tariff revision of the group’s distributors, which began in 2007. In addition, there were efforts to consolidate the prevailing regulatory framework, represented by the set of resolutions formulated by ANEEL, Brazil’s electricity sector regulatory agency. In this context, Public Hearing 052/07 was concluded, resulting in the publication of ANEEL Resolution 338/08, which addresses the general concepts, methodology and procedures applicable to the distributors’ 2nd tariff revision cycle, and is a refinement of ANEEL Resolution 234/06. The new methodology recognizes the investments needed for the incorporation of private networks, through calculation of the X Factor, thereby ensuring the tariff coverage required to regulate these assets. In the case of CPFL Energia, this measure will have a positive impact on the future revenues of its distributors, especially CPFL Paulista.

Also approved was ANEEL Resolution 345/08, addressing the Procedures for Electricity Distribution in the National Electricity System (PRODIST), which structures the relationship between distributors and other agents (consumer units and generators), connected to distribution systems, as well as the exchange of information between distributors and ANEEL.

Finally, Federal Decree 6353/08 was published, regulating the contracting of reserve power provided for in Law 10848/04, which addresses the commercialization of electric power, creating the conditions for ANEEL to establish a methodology for passing on these costs to consumption tariffs.

3. Operating Performance

ENERGY SALES

Energy sales by distributors in the concession area went up by 5.5%, to 49,033 GWh (46,475 GWh in 2007). Sales to the captive market totaled 37,323 GWh and 11,710 GWh were billed through the Distribution System Usage Tariff (TUSD). Energy sold to free customers and via bilateral contracts amounted to 8,904 GWh.

38


The captive market highlights were the residential, industrial and commercial classes, which recorded respective growth of 8.2%, 4.7% and 6.5%, and jointly accounted for 81.5% of total consumption by the distributors’ captive consumers. Excluding the effect of the acquisition of CMS Energy Brasil in 2007 (whose name was changed to CPFL Jaguariúna S.A.), the sales performance was as follows:

Residential and Commercial Classes: increases of 6.9% and 5.4%, respectively. The performance of the commercial class benefited from the maintenance of the bulk of wages and credit availability at high levels. These effects, combined with the reduction in home appliance prices, pushed up residential consumption. Temperatures in the third quarter of 2008 (which were higher than in the same period last year) and the migration of rural class customers to the residential class also contributed to the consumption upturn;

Industrial Class: increase of 2.3%, due to the big upturn in domestic market consumption, offset by the migration of captive customers to the free market, especially the so-called “special customers”, whose contracted demand is more than 500 kW and who are eligible to purchase energy from alternative generation sources, such as biomass and small hydroelectric power plants (PCHs). As of November, the variation was also affected by the international financial crisis.

For further details on electricity sales (in R$, GWh, by consumption class and number of consumers), see Explanatory Note 24 to the Financial Statements).

OPERATING PERFORMANCE IN THE DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT

CPFL Energia is permanently concerned with increasing the operating efficiency and improving the service quality of the group’s distributors. To achieve this, the company encourages better operating practices and invests in electricity system automation and modernization, preventive and corrective maintenance programs, customer and network service logistics, and in improvements to auxiliary infrastructure.

These initiatives are reflected in the quality of the distributors’ operating efficiency and service quality indicators, as well as in their customer satisfaction indexes.

Customer Service

CPFL Energia’s distributors provide rapid and reliable customer service channels, ensuring ease of access and comfort for its clients. In order to do so, it maintains a diversified service structure, geared to the specific characteristics of each type of client, comprising call centers, customer service outlets, online service outlets and account managers. All in all, these channels registered 19.8 million consultations in 2008.

In 2008, the CPFL Energia group implemented new programs to improve service quality and strengthen customer relations. Particularly worth mentioning is Ligado no Cliente, a program implemented in CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga which aims to ensure outstanding customer relations by continuously improving operational quality and providing services that are specifically geared to the characteristics, interests and expectations of each consumer class. It also includes pre- and after-service activities, the restructuring of online service outlets and the introduction of new customer relations and communications practices. The program will be gradually extended to the other group distributors.

Energy Supply Quality

Energy supply quality is one of the main pillars of the operational efficiency strategy of the group’s distributors, who operate in complex and demanding markets. The table below shows the distributors’ results according to the main energy supply quality and reliability indicators. The FEC ratio measures the average number of interruptions per consumer per year, while the DEC ratio measures the average duration, in hours, of interruptions per consumer per year. CPFL Piratininga and CPFL Paulista retained their privileged position among the country’s major distributors and CPFL Jaguari and CPFL Santa Cruz, both incorporated into the group in recent years, also did very well. Also worth noting is Rio Grande Energia (RGE), whose DEC and FEC ratios decreased by 9.5% and 11.3%, respectively, over 2007, chiefly due to investments in modernization and in predictive and preventive maintenance programs for the electricity system.

39


DISTRIBUTORS - FEC / DEC - 2008
Company Indicator  CPFL Piratininga  CPFL Jaguari  CPFL Paulista  CPFL Santa Cruz  CPFL Sul Paulista  CPFL Mococa  CPFL Leste Paulista  RGE 
FEC  5.36  5.40  5.87  6.93  7.10  7.25  8.85  9.67 
DEC  6.54  7.24  6.85  5.66  8.13  7.66  8.73  15.43 

The consolidation of energy supply quality indicators of the group’s eight distributors underlines the efforts to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply to more than 6.4 million customers. The distributor’s consolidated FEC ratio fell from 6.92 to 6.54, a 5.5% reduction, while the DEC ratio declined by 5.1%, from 8.84 to 8.39.

Commercial Losses

The group’s eight distributors have developed an ongoing operation to combat commercial losses in their respective areas of activity, mainly by monitoring consumption units, verifying and replacing obsolete or damaged meters and conducting educational campaigns. In 2008, these initiatives resulted in the recovery of 416 GWh, equivalent to revenue of R$ 136 million.

Payment Delinquency

The group’s distributors have continued to collect debts from delinquent customers. The weighted average delinquency index in this segment came to 1.36%, 7% down on the 1.49% recorded in 2007.

Universality of Service

Markets of CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga, CPFL Santa Cruz, CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Sul Paulista, CPFL Leste Paulista and CPFL Mococa is already universalized. RGE connected 6,154 new customers through the Universalization/Light for All programs, achieving 100% of its universal coverage target.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE IN THE GENERATION SEGMENT

In the generation segment, which is essential for CPFL Energia’s business diversification strategy, we concluded construction of the Castro Alves Hydroelectric Plant (130 MW) and the first turbine of the 14 de Julho Hydroelectric Plant (representing 50% of the plant’s 100 MW installed capacity) began operations, raising the group’s installed capacity to 1,704 MW and assured energy to 862 average-MW. Construction of the 855 MW Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Plant moved ahead on schedule. This plant is scheduled to begin operations in the last quarter of 2010, when the group’s generation installed capacity should reach 2,202 MW, with assured energy of 1,092 average-MW. The repowering of the Capão Preto and Chibarro small hydroelectric power plants (PCHs) were also concluded.

The turbine availability indices in 2008 were: 95% for the Serra da Mesa Hydroelectric Plant, 96% for the small hydroelectric power plants (PCHs), 92% for the Monte Claro Hydroelectric Plant, 96% for the Barra Grande Hydroelectric Plant, 95% for the Campos Novos Hydroelectric Plant and 91% for the Castro Alves Hydroelectric Plant. The first turbine of the 14 de Julho Hydroelectric Plant began operations in December 2008.

4. Economic-Financial Performance

Management comments on the economic-financial performance and operating results should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes.

Operating Revenue

Gross operating revenue totaled R$ 14,372 million, 1.2% (R$ 165 million) up on 2007.

The main factors contributing to this improvement were:

i) A 5.5% increase in concession area energy sales;
ii) The 4.77% increase in RGE’s second periodic tariff revision provisional index, valid as of April 2008, as mentioned previously in the “Electricity Tariffs and Prices” section;
iii) Realization of the RTE and Free Energy (R$ 295 million) in 2007, which was treated as amortization of parcel A as of January 2008 and consequently booked under deductions from operating revenue, cost of electric power and operating costs and expenses; iv) A R$ 265 million increase in electric power supply revenue, mainly due to performance of the commercialization companies.

However, these factors were partially offset by the distributors’ provisional second tariff revision:

i) CPFL Piratininga (-10.11%), effective as of October 2007;
ii) CPFL Santa Cruz (-7.13%), CPFL Leste Paulista (-1.65%), CPFL Jaguari (-1.58%), CPFL Sul Paulista (-3.57%) and CPFL Mococa (-5.65%), effective as of February 2008;
iii) CPFL Paulista (-13.61%), effective as of April 2008;
iv) The R$ 189 million downturn in other revenue, primarily due to the write-off of free energy in 2007.

Operating Cash Generation — EBITDA

Operating cash generation, measured by EBITDA, totaled R$ 2,808 million in 2008, 16.1% (R$ 537 million) down on 2007, chiefly due to the 19.7% increase in the cost of electric power (R$ 936 million), in turn caused by: (i) the 2.4% upturn in purchased quantity of energy; (ii) price adjustments by the generators; (iii) overcontracting adjustment (R$ 120 million); (iv) the amortization of Parcel A (R$ 163 million); and (v) the booking of the amount to be passed on to CTEEP (R$ 98 million).

This was partially offset by: (i) the 3.1% increase in net revenue (R$ 296 million); and (ii) the 8.2% reduction in operating costs and expenses (R$ 108 million), excluding expenses related to the private pension fund, and depreciation and amortization, reflecting the write-off of free energy (R$ 189 million) in 2007, partially offset by the R$ 75 million increase in personnel expenses.

EBITDA is a non-accounting measurement calculated by Management as the sum of net income, taxes, financial result, depreciation/amortization and private pension fund.

Net Income

CPFL Energia posted a 2008 net income of R$ 1,276 million, 22.2% (R$ 365 million) down on 2007, chiefly due to the 16.1% reduction in EBITDA, partially offset by the 23.0% (R$ 190 million) reduction in income tax and social contribution.

Net income per share was R$ 2.66.

41

 


Dividends

The Board proposed the payment of R$ 1,208 million in dividends, equivalent to 95% of annual net income, at R$ 2.516469355 per share. As a result, the Company exceeded the minimum payment of 50% of net income defined in the dividend policy.

Excluding the R$ 602 million paid in the first half of 2008, the amount to be effectively paid is R$ 606 million, equivalent to R$ 1.262952547 per share.

Indebtedness

CPFL Energia closed 2008 with indebtedness, comprising financial debt and derivatives (asset/liability), of R$ 6,793 million, growth of 5.7% . The main contributing factors to the variation in indebtedness were:

CPFL Geração and Generation Projects: funding, net of amortizations (BNDES and other financial institutions), totaling R$ 189 million, with the following highlights:
(i) Funding, net of amortizations, obtained by Foz do Chapecó (R$ 113 million) and Ceran (R$ 55 million);
(i) Funding, net of amortizations, carried out in compliance with Brazilian Central Bank Resolution 2770 by CPFL Geração, totaling R$ 276 million;
(ii) Amortization of the principal of CPFL Geração and Baesa’s debentures (R$ 154 million).
CPFL Energia, CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and RGE: amortizations, net of funding (BNDES and other financial institutions), totaling R$ 41 million, with the following highlights:
(i) RGE’s R$ 380 million debenture issue and CPFL Piratininga’s R$ 100 million debentures issue, for debt rollover;
(i) Amortizations, net of funding, carried out in compliance with Brazilian Central Bank Resolution 2770 by CPFL Energia, CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and RGE, totaling R$ 199 million;
(ii) Amortization of working capital funding by RGE, totaling R$ 175 million;
(i) Amortizations, net of funding, of BNDES financing for CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and RGE, totaling R$ 29 million.

• Foreign exchange variation on foreign-currency debt, net of the variation in the derivative balance, in the amount of R$ 45 million.

For further information on indebtedness, see Explanatory Notes 16 and 17 to the Financial Statements.

5. Investments

In line with the group’s strategy of expanding its business and increasing its Brazilian electric energy market share, CPFL Energia invested R$ 1,178 million in 2008. Of this total, R$ 875 million went to business expansion, including the construction of hydroelectric plants, the repowering of small hydroelectric power plants, and the expansion and strengthening of the electricity system to keep pace with the substantial growth of the distribution market. We also invested R$ 292 million in improvements to the electricity system, operational logistics, operational support systems and infrastructure in the various business segments. The commercialization and value-added service segment absorbed R$11 million.

Distribution

Investments totaled R$ 665 million, R$ 373 million of which went to expanding and strengthening the electricity system to meet market demand in terms of energy sales and customer numbers recorded by the group’s eight distributors. A further R$ 292 million went towards electricity system improvements and maintenance, operational infrastructure, the upgrading of managerial and operational support systems, customer services and research and development programs, among others.

42


Generation

An investment, in the amount of R$ 502 million, was concentrated on projects under construction: Ceran Complex (Castro Alves and 14 de Julho Hydroelectric Plants), the Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Plant and the repowering of the small hydroelectric power plants Capão Preto and Chibarro.

6. Corporate Governance

CPFL Energia’s corporate governance model is based on four basic principles – transparency, equity, accountability and corporate responsibility – and is adopted by all the companies in the CPFL Energia group.

CPFL Energia is listed on the Novo Mercado trading segment of the São Paulo Stock Exchange and its Level III ADRs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The company's capital stock is composed of common shares only, and ensures tag-along rights equivalent to 100% of the amount paid to the controlling shareholders through a public offer in the case of disposal of control.

The mission of the Company’s Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers is to protect and value CPFL Energia’s assets, pursuant to the Bylaws, representing the interests of the shareholders and other agents with whom the Company interacts.

The Board of Directors’ duties include defining the overall business guidelines and electing the Board of Executive Officers, among other responsibilities determined by the law and the Company’s Bylaws. The Board is composed of one independent member and six members nominated by the controlling shareholders with a one-year term of office, re-election being permitted. It normally meets once a month but may be convened whenever necessary. It also elects a Chairman and Vice-Chairman from among its members and no member may serve on the Board of Executive Officers.

The Board of Directors constituted three permanent committees with officially designated responsibilities to advise it on matters related to management of the business: the Human Resources Committee, Related Parties Committee and Management Processes Committee. Whenever necessary, ad hoc commissions are installed to advise the Board on such specific issues as corporate governance, strategies, budgets, energy purchases, new operations and financial policies.

CPFL Energia also maintains a permanent Fiscal Council comprising five members who also carry out the attributes of the Audit Committee, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Fiscal Council members meet on a monthly basis and adopt a minimum calendar of activities, which includes periodic meetings with the internal and external auditors.

The Board of Executive Officers comprises seven executive officers with a two-year term and the possibility of re-election.

The Executive Officers represent the Company and manage its business in accordance with the long-term strategic plan. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for nominating the other statutory officers. All the officers also occupy executive positions in the subsidiaries, thereby ensuring that their corporate governance practices are in line with those of the holding company.

The names of the members of the Board of Directors, Committees, Fiscal Council and Board of Executive Officers are available on the Company’s website at www.cpfl.com.br/ir.

Corporate Excellence Management

CPFL Energia encourages its subsidiaries to adopt an Integrated Management System (SGI) based on the Management Excellence Model® (MEG), of the National Quality Foundation (FNQ). This system standardizes and certifies the main working processes in four areas: Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Occupational Health and Safety Management (OHSAS 18001) and Social Responsibility Management (SA 8000). System compliance is constantly monitored through periodic audits by external certification agencies. The SGI has already been fully implemented in CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga, CPFL Geração and RGE.

Another annual highlight was the expansion of the Six Sigma Strategy in CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga, CPFL Brasil and CPFL Geração, and the beginning of its implementation in RGE, CPFL Santa Cruz and CPFL Jaguari. This methodology allows us to identify opportunities for improvement and loss reductions in working processes.

In addition, CPFL Paulista, which had been the first energy company to win the National Quality Award in 2005, won the award again in 2008, an unprecedented event in Brazil’s power industry. This achievement ratified the five awards it received from the Brazilian Association of Energy Distributors – Abradee, in 2008 (for further information see “Awards and Recognition” section). RGE also won the Golden Trophy awarded by the PGQP – Rio Grande do Sul Quality and Productivity Program.

Customer Relations Management

CPFL Energia group distributors maintain specific programs to ensure that their relations with customers are based on trust and credibility. In order to achieve this, in addition to responding rapidly and effectively to requests and complaints, the companies have developed direct communication initiatives aimed at informing customers of their rights, educating them on the rational and safe use of electricity and making them aware of the customer service access channels, as well as participating in public interest campaigns through messages on electricity bills. All CPFL Energia distributors also maintain Consumer Councils to assess service quality and carry out periodic customer surveys to identify opportunities for improvement.

At the beginning of 2008, CPFL Jaguari was granted the IASC Brasil Award for having the highest customer satisfaction index rating among all Brazil’s distributers, according to an ANEEL survey in 2007. In addition, CPFL Paulista won the IASC Award – Southeast Region – 2008 following another ANEEL survey in the current year, with a customer satisfaction rating of 73.76% . CPFL Piratininga (66.52%), RGE (65.97%), CPFL Jaguari (74.41%), CPFL Leste Paulista (73.92%) and CPFL Mococa (78.00%) also came out well in the survey, scoring well above the national average of 62.62% .

Human Resources Management

CPFL Energia closed the year with 7,119 employees (7,176 in 2007) and an average turnover rate of 12.93% . Duration of employment averaged 11 years and the average age of the workforce was 38.

Throughout the year, the group companies maintained differentiated human resources management and training programs, focusing on the development of strategic business skills, leadership succession, increased productivity and occupational health and safety.

The number of training hours per employee averaged 91.8, higher than the benchmark figure of 83 hours per employee defined by Sextante Survey – 2008.

The main highlight was the launch of the CPFL Corporate University, marking a decisive step towards aligning human resources development programs with knowledge management and the consolidation of a solid organizational culture, underpinned by corporate excellence and operational efficiency criteria and the creation of value for the Company’s stakeholders. The Corporate University will facilitate the development of those skills that are essential for improving service quality in line with the Company’s strategies and objectives.

Community Relations

CPFL Energia’s 2008 community development initiatives included:

CPFL Cultura: this program uses artistic and cultural presentations, lectures and debates as a means of disseminating culture and knowledge to help develop the Company’s neighboring communities. Admission is free and the contents are made available to the entire country via the internet and programs on TV Cultura, a São Paulo-based television channel. In 2008, activities that used to be limited to Campinas (CPFL Cultura) were extended to other cities, including Ribeirão Preto, Bauru, Sorocaba, Santos, São Paulo and Caxias do Sul. CPFL Cultura’s activities are mainly funded by fiscal incentives.

CPFL Charity Hospital Revitalization Program: this initiative is designed to improve the standard of treatment provided by charity hospitals to underprivileged members of the population in CPFL’s operational areas. The program also offers management techniques and technology based on the Management Excellence Model (MEG), developed by the National Quality Foundation (FNQ) to hospital administrators and employees and encourages the creation of hospital networks, social mobilization, and volunteer work, as well as developing energy efficiency projects. In 2008, the Program was extended to 90 hospitals in 81 municipalities in the Araraquara, Araçatuba, Piraju, Baixada Santista, Bauru, Ribeirão Preto and Sorocaba regions.

The donations were funded by fiscal incentives, in accordance with the law.

Influence and Leadership in the Value Chain

Since 2003, CPFL has been running the Value Network Program, a forum for the Company’s suppliers aimed at encouraging and disseminating sustainable development in the supply chain. The 7th Suppliers Meeting was held in 2008, as were eight smaller meetings, giving important CPFL suppliers an opportunity to disseminate the concept to their fellow-suppliers.

The Company also held the second edition of the CPFL Added Value Award, designed to encourage the adoption of best corporate practices by recognizing the most outstanding companies among the group’s suppliers. This year saw the inclusion of the service provider category, which is evaluated on a monthly basis by the operational areas.

The Company also continued with the Tear Program, developed in association with the Multilateral Investment Fund (Fumin), from the IDB, and the Ethos Institute, also aimed at disseminating good sustainability practices in the business chain, including suppliers and customers. CPFL is an anchor-company of the Program in the energy sector. In 2008, the 3rd National Seminar, 4th Regional Seminar and eight other local meetings with 200 participants were held involving supplier and customer representatives.

Corporate Commitments

CPFL Energia is a signatory to the following commitments: the Global Compact; Clean Company - Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption; the Millennium Development Goals; On the Right Track – Corporate Pact against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Teenager on Roadways; and the Abrinq Foundation’s Child Friendly Program.

In 2008, CPFL Energia signed up to Caring for Climate, a voluntary action platform linked to the UN's Global Compact aimed at combating climate change.

The Company was invited to the 1st Caring for Climate meeting held by the UN in Geneva, where it presented its programs and initiatives for mitigating the impact of global warming.

( 2 ) PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 

The individual (Parent Company) and consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with (i) generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil, having fully complied with all the concepts introduced by Law nº 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure nº 449/08, (ii) the Accounting Manual of the Public Electric Energy Service, (iii) the regulations laid down by ANEEL, and (iv) based on the guidelines provided by the Brazilian Committee on Accounting Pronouncements (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis - CPC) and approved by the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM).

The conclusion of the financial statements was approved by Management on February 3, 2009.

2.1 Initial compliance with Law nº 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure nº 449/08

Law nº 11,638 was enacte on December 28, 2007, amending, revoking and adding to the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law (Law nº 6.404/76), relating to the preparation and disclosure of Financial Statements. On December 3, 2008, Provisional Measure nº 449 amended and added to certain aspects of that law and introduced the transition tax regime, among other measures.

The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect, in all material respects, the changes proposed by Law nº 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure nº 449/08. In compliance with CVM Decision nº 565/08, which approved CPC 13 – Initial Compliance with Law nº 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure nº 449/08, the Company and its subsidiaries opted to record the changes retroactively, as foreseen in CVM Decision n° 506/06. Accordingly, the financial statements presented for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been amended to include the retroactive adjustments due to changes of accounting practice.

The main changes foreseen in the law that involve adjustments to the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, effective as from 2008, are described below:

60


Provisional Measure nº 449/08 eliminated the deferred charges accounts, permitting amounts capitalized by December 31, 2008 to be written off, reclassified or maintained until fully amortized. From 2009, the deferral of costs is not allowed.
 
A new group, “Intangible assets” encompassing rights in intangible assets maintained or used in the operation of the company’s business, including premiums, goodwill and the right to operate the concessions. CPC 04 Intangible assets regulated the matter (Note 14).
 
Law nº 11,638/07 eliminated the option of voluntary revaluation of assets, allowing companies to maintain balances until their actual realization or to revert it as from January 1, 2008. The practice of revaluation of assets was adopted only by the subsidiary RGE, which adjusted its financial statements for consolidation purposes. RGE’s management decided to change the accounting practice in order to align with the practice adopted by the Company (Note 12).
 
The Law replaced the Statement of Changes in Financial Position (DOAR) with the Statement of Cash Flow (DFC) and introduced the requirement to prepare a Statement of Added Value (DVA). The regulations for these statements were laid down by CPC 03 Statement of Cash Flow and CPC 09 Statement of Added Value, respectively.
 
The Law created the requirement to perform a periodic review and analysis of the decrease in the recoverable value of the assets. The Company and its subsidiaries complied with the procedures laid down by CPC 01 Impairment of Assets, which regulated the matter (Note 14).

The effects of the changes in accounting practices and reclassifications on the consolidated balance sheet and income statement for 2008 and 2007 are shown below:

2.2 Summary of the Principal Accounting Practices

61


a) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Include cash balances, bank deposits, bank deposits certificates and short-term financial investments, which are stated at fair value.

b) Consumers, Concessionaires and Licensees: Include the supply of billed and unbilled electric energy to final consumers, and to other concessionaires for electric energy supply, in accordance with amounts provided by the CCEE and balances related to regulatory assets of different kinds.

c) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: recorded based on an analysis of the amounts receivable from consumers in the residential class past due by more than 90 days, in the commercial class past due by more than 180 days and from other classes past due by more than 360 days, including public sector consumers. It also takes into account an individual analysis of the balances of the larger consumers, including refinancing of receivables classified as doubtful, in accordance with management's experience in relation to effective losses.

d) Lease: Transactions that transfer the rights to use the assets from lessor to lessee, including the substantial transfer of the risks and benefits, are classified as finance leases. Other lease transactions are classified as operating leases.

For the lessee, financial lease obligations are measured by their fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments agreed.

For the lessor, lease transactions assets (accounts receivable) are measured by the value of the investments made.

The related gains or losses (difference between the income received and amortization of the investment recorded / financial charges) are appropriated to the result for the duration of the contract, based on the amortized cost method and the effective interest rate.

Gains on operating leases are recognized as operating revenue as incurred during the contract period.

e) Investments: Investments in subsidiaries and associates in which the interest in voting capital is higher than 20% or has significant influence and in other companies that belong to the same group or are under common control are valued by the equity method. Other interests are recorded at cost, net of provisions to reduce them to market value, where applicable.

f) Property, plant and equipment: encompasses rights maintained or used in the operation of the Company’s business, including those rights received as a result of transactions that transfer to the Company the benefits, risks and control of such assets (finance leasing transactions).

Recorded at purchase, construction or formation cost, including, where applicable, interest, other financial charges and administrative costs. The assets were restated until December 31, 1995 and are net of depreciation calculated by the straight-line method, at annual rates of 2% to 20%, considering the estimated useful life of assets defined by ANEEL.

g) Intangible assets: encompasses rights maintained or used in the operation of the Company’s business, including premiums, goodwill, the right to operate the concessions, software and rights of way.

Until December 31, 2008, the goodwill arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries was amortized in proportion to the net income curves projected for the remaining term of the concession contract of each subsidiary, as determined by ANEEL. As this asset is classified as an intangible asset related to the granting of the concession, it has a predetermined useful life and will continue to be amortized in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

62


Other intangible assets are only amortized if their useful lives can be reasonably estimated.

h) Deferred charges: Relates mainly to the preoperating expenses and are amortized by the straight-line method over the expected period of recoverability, not exceeding 10 years. The subsidiaries opted to maintain the deferred charges balance until its total realization.

i) Impairment of assets: The recoverability of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and deferred charges is tested at least annually, if there are indications that the asset may be impaired. The goodwill and the other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, independently of expectations of losses.

j) Restatement of Assets and Liabilities: Assets and liabilities indexed to inflation or exchange rates variations, in accordance with contractual or legal provisions, are updated to the balance sheet dates and adjusted to their present values, where applicable, when the related contractual rates are lower than the market terms.

k) Income Tax and Social Contribution: are calculated and recorded in accordance with the legislation in effect on the balance sheet dates. The Company and certain subsidiaries recorded in their financial statements the effects of tax credits relating to income tax and social contribution on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences, supported by expectations of the future generation of income tax and social contribution. The subsidiaries also recorded tax credits in respect of the benefit of the goodwill merged by the subsidiaries, which are amortized in proportion to the projected net income for the remainder of the concession contract of each investee.

In compliance with the provisions of article 15 of Provisional Measure nº 449/08, which introduced the Transition Tax Regime – RTT for determination of taxable income, the Company and its subsidiaries decided to adopt the Transition Regime for the year ended December 31, 2008. This option will apply irreversibly to the two-year period 2008 – 2009, through filing of the Corporate Income Tax Return 2009.

l) Employee Pension Plans: The subsidiaries record the post-employment benefits and the pension plans on the accrual basis and in accordance with CVM Decision 371/00.

m) Reserves for contingencies: The reserves for contingencies known at the balance sheet dates are recorded by assessing and quantifying the risks relating to tax, labor or civil matters, where management and the legal advisors consider loss is probable in processes involving litigation. The provisions shown in this item are net of the related escrow deposits or blocks.

n) Loans and financing: Restated in accordance with the monetary and exchange variations, including charges when classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost, and recorded at their fair value, when classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

o) Derivatives: Classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The company uses derivatives to manage the risks of variations in the exchange rates and interest on certain liabilities. These contracts are measured at fair value and the gains and losses are stated in financial income (expense).

p) Income: Revenue and expense are recorded on the accrual basis. Revenue from electric energy distribution is recognized when the energy is billed. Unbilled revenue relating to the monthly billing cycle is provisioned based on the actual amount of energy supplied during the month and the annualized loss rate. Historically, the difference between the estimated unbilled revenue and the actual consumption, which is recognized in the subsequent month, has not been material. Revenue from energy generation sales is recorded based on the assured energy and at tariffs specified in the terms of the contract or the market price in force. No consumers represent 10% or more of the total billing. The credits on operating costs and expense offset in determination of PIS and COFINS are stated net in the respective costs and expenses accounts.

q) Estimates: Preparation of financial statements in accordance with Brazilian Accounting Principles requires management of the Company and its subsidiaries to use estimates as a basis for recording certain transactions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and also the disclosure of information on data in the financial statements. The final results of these transactions and information, with respect to their effective realization in subsequent periods, may differ from these estimates. Management reviews such assumptions and estimates at least once a year.

r) Net Income per Share: Is determined considering the number of shares outstanding on the balance sheet dates.

2.3 Consolidation Principles

(*) Network Usage Charge - TUSD
(**) Deferred Tariff Costs and Gains Variations From Parcel "A items - ("CVA")

a) Rationing (“RTE”, “Free Energy” and Parcel “A”)

At the end of 2001, as a result of the Emergency Program for the Reduction of Electric Energy Consumption, in effect between June 2001 and February 2002, the generators, the power distributors and the Federal Government signed the "Overall Agreement for the Electric Energy Sector". The agreement introduced an Extraordinary Tariff Increase of 2.9% on energy supplied to residential consumers (except those regarded as "low income consumers") and for rural and public lighting, and 7.9% for all other consumers, as a mechanism to reimburse the energy sector for the losses incurred as a result of this program.

This adjustment is being used to offset the following regulatory assets recorded by the subsidiaries:

a.1) Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment (RTE)

Corresponds to the loss of revenue determined by comparison of the sales revenues from energy effectively recorded in the rationing period, and projected revenue for this period, not taking into account the effects of the Energy Rationing Program.

66


Due to the end of the period stipulated for recovery of RTE, the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga recorded losses of R$ 115,863 and R$ 36,227, respectively, in 2007, writing off accounts receivable and the provision for losses on RTE. The subsidiaries CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Jaguari and CPFL Mococa realized the full amount of RTE in June 2005, December 2004 and December 2006, respectively.

The RTE balance for this year relates to the indirect subsidiary CPFL Sul Paulista, which recorded a provision for losses of R$ 2,659, based on the projections of estimated income, considering the growth in its market and expectations of inflation, interest and regulatory aspects. The deadline established by ANEEL for recovery of RTE by CPFL Sul Paulista is January 2009.

a.2) Electric energy from Independent Suppliers (“Free Energy”)

Corresponds to the energy produced and made available to the consumer market during the rationing period by the independent producers and self-producers of energy.

The distribution utilities collected the funds from the consumer through the extraordinary tariff adjustment and passed them on to the generators, according to percentage established to each concessionaire, recording an asset and a liability. These amounts are monetarily restated in accordance with the ANEEL instructions.

As a result of the end of the term for collection of RTE in 2007, the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga recorded Free Energy losses of R$ 135,545 and R$ 53,210, respectively. The asset was written off against the Other Operating Expenses - Sales and the liability was written off in Other Operating Income, having no effects on the net income of the subsidiaries. The subsidiary CPFL Sul Paulista established a provision for losses on free energy of R$ 2,148. As this will be passed on to the generators, a provision for the same amount was recorded in liabilities, without effects on the net income (loss).

In the case of the subsidiary RGE, the Free Energy regulatory asset derives from the assignment, by the distributor, of its quota of Itaipu to the rationing program.

As in the case of the RTE, as of December 31, 2008, the subsidiaries RGE and CPFL Geração have a reserve for losses on realization of Free Energy amounting to a total of R$ 7,670. The subsidiary CPFL Geração also recorded a loss of R$ 5,501 related to a pass-through from distributors whose terms for receipt have already ended.

a.3) Parcel “A”

Corresponds to the variation in the financial amounts of non-manageable costs representing Parcel "A" of the concession contracts, between January 1 and October 25, 2001. These amounts are restated based on the variation in the SELIC rate.

The subsidiary CPFL Paulista started to offset Parcel “A” as from January 2008, using a mechanism similar to that used for the RTE. For the subsidiary CPFL Sul Paulista, amortization of Parcel “A” will start from February 2009, over the period required to reach the amount recorded. In the case of the subsidiaries CPFL Piratininga, CPFL Santa Cruz, CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Mococa and CPFL Jaguari, Parcel “A” was amortized in May 2008, November 2007, September 2005, March 2007 and August 2005, respectively.

67


For the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga, due to the need to bill for the full monthly cycle, collection was in excess of the existing balance, and this amount was submitted to ANEEL in the 2008 Tariff Adjustment process. Accordingly, the process of refunding consumers by offsetting against tariffs commenced after ratification, as from October 2008. The remaining liability at the end of the year was R$ 8,197.

The changes in the balances related to RTE, Free Energy and Parcel “A”, are shown below:

Through Ratification Resolution No. 716, of October 21, 2008, ANEEL amended the provisional result of the 2007 periodic tariff view for the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga, due to the provisional incorporation of one of the methodological improvements submitted to the Public Hearing process AP 52/2007, relating to the increase in the percentage of irrecoverable income from 0.5% to 0.6% . Additionally, the income recorded was amended as a result of the use of tariffs without discounts in the composition of the verified income, in order to align to the methodology adopted by ANEEL for the second tariff review cycle. As a result of these changes, the tariff adjustment changed from -10.94% to -11.76%, without alteration of the Xe factor, which was provisionally maintained at 0.73% .

In the case of all the companies, the provisional nature of the tariff review is due to the “Reference Company” and the “Xe factor”. Additionally, the remuneration bases of the subsidiaries RGE and CPFL Santa Cruz are also on a provisional basis, while the financial component for the subsidiary CPFL Paulista is linked to overcontracting (see Note 3c.5). See also note 33 about the second cycle of tariff reviews final approval for the subsidiaries CPFL Santa Cruz, CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Mococa, CPFL Leste Paulista e CPFL Sul Paulista.

b.2) 2008 Tariff Adjustments

Through Ratification Resolution No. 717, of October 21, 2008, ANEEL established the annual tariff adjustment for the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga at an average percentage of 16.54%, composed as follows: 10.92% in relation to the annual tariff adjustment and 5.62% in relation to the financial components external to the annual adjustment.

The average percentage adjustment to be applied for captive consumers is 15.03% .

c) Financial components

c.1) Tariff review

In 2007, by Ratification Resolution nº 443, ANEEL amended the final result of the first Periodic Tariff Review of the subsidiary CPFL Paulista, approved in April 2005, adjusting the energy supply tariffs by 20.66%, due to a review of the calculation of the average depreciation percentage used in the 2003 tariff review. The difference in income resulting from the change in the tariff adjustment from 20.29% to 20.66%, and of the Xe component of the X Factor from 1.1352% to 1.2530%, corresponds to a financial adjustment of R$ 44,868, including the effects of PIS and COFINS, which is being offset in the 2007 tariff adjustment.

In 2006, by Ratification Resolution nº 385, and in answer to the application filed by Bandeirante Energia S.A. (“Bandeirante”) for reconsideration of the tariff review, ANEEL amended the amounts of the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga remuneration base.

70


In accordance with this amendment, ANEEL established that the electric energy supply tariffs should be reset at 10.14% . Accordingly, in line with the new provisional percentage established by ANEEL, the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga recorded a regulatory asset in “Consumers, Concessionaires and Licensees” of R$ 26,970 in 2006, including PIS and COFINS, amortized until October, 2007.

ANEEL Order nº 3209, of October 22, 2007, ratified the result of the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga first tariff Review, making it final.

CPFL Santa Cruz

In line with the principal of reasonable tariffs and the economic and financial equilibrium of the concession contract, in February 2004, during the first tariff review cycle, ANEEL ruled that the Parcel “B” differences in the approved percentage would be added to the Parcel “B” of subsequent tariff adjustments for the subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz. Accordingly, in January 2008, the subsidiary recorded the last portions of the deferral and amortization in relation to this financial component.

As mentioned in Note 3b.1, the 2008 tariff review for the subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz was established on a provisional basis. However, in the 2009 tariff adjustment process, ANEEL permanently confirmed the result of the review (note 33). Accordingly, in order to reflect the effects of the Remuneration Base and “Reference Company” for the appropriate accrual period, the subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz recorded a liability to consumers of R$ 3,374, set against a reversal of income.

RGE

As mentioned in Note 3b.1, in 2008, ANEEL provisionally established the result of the second tariff review cycle of the subsidiary RGE, while definition of its Remuneration Base remains pending. In the light of discussions and preliminary figures produced by the regulatory agency, the subsidiary conservatively recorded a provision (reversal of income) of R$ 25,961, in relation to the effects on the 2008 financial statements. The subsidiary will continue to discuss the matter with the regulatory agency and will make the final adjustment after ratification of the final result, expected in the next tariff adjustment (April 2009).

CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Mococa, CPFL Leste Paulista and CPFL Sul Paulista

As mentioned in Note 3b.1, the 2008 tariff review of the subsidiaries CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Mococa, CPFL Leste Paulista and CPFL Sul Paulista was established on a provisional basis (note 33). However, in the 2009 tariff adjustment process, ANEEL permanently confirmed the result of the review. Accordingly, in order to reflect the effects of the Reference Company” for the appropriate accrual period, the subsidiaries recorded a liability to consumers of R$ 5,358, set against a reversal of income.

c.2) Discounts TUSD and Irrigation

The subsidiaries record regulatory assets for the special discounts applied on the TUSD to the free consumers, in respect of supplying electric energy from alternative sources and on irrigation and hydroculture activities.

71


As from the 2008 tariff review, ANEEL established tariff advances in relation to the anticipation of these discounts for the next tariff period. The difference between the amount taken into consideration in this tariff review and the amount actually realized is calculated monthly and will be taken into consideration in the next tariff adjustment.

c.3) CVA

Relates to the mechanism for offsetting the variations in unmanageable costs incurred by the electric energy distribution concessionaires. These variations are calculated in accordance with the difference between the expenses effectively incurred and the expenses estimated at the time of establishing the tariffs in the annual tariff adjustments. The amounts taken into consideration in the CVA are restated at the SELIC rate.

The net balances of CVA assets and liabilities, separated by type and accrual period, are shown below:

c.4) Increase in PIS and COFINS

Refers to the difference between the costs relating to PIS and COFINS calculated in accordance with the current legislation, and those incorporated in the tariff until April 2005 for the subsidiary CPFL Paulista and October 2005 for the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga.

The amounts approved in 2007 and 2006 were recorded as assets and amortized until April 2008.

In view of the discussions in respect of the nature of this credit, the Company conservatively opted to record a liability of the same amount, posted in the account “Other Accounts Payable” (note 22).

c.5) Overcontracting

Electric energy distribution concessionaires are obliged to guarantee 100% of their energy and power market through contracts approved, registered and ratified by ANEEL. The distribution concessionaires are also assured that costs or income derived from overcontracting will be passed on to the tariffs, limited to 3% of the energy load requirement. Additionally, in the light of the provisions of REN nº 255/2007, ANEEL established that short-term energy shortfalls should also be treated in accordance with the overcontracting pass-through methodology.

72


In the tariff review and tariff adjustment processes, respectively, of the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga, ANEEL provisionally recalculated the tariff pass-throughs for overcontracting, as of December 31, 2007.

On analyzing the process, the subsidiaries reviewed their procedures and made the accounting adjustments in relation to the energy supply agreement with the subsidiary CPFL Brasil. In this context, and conservatively, until completion of the final tariff review and tariff adjustment process, the subsidiaries made the following accounting entries in fiscal year 2008:

a) The distributors recorded a provision for accounts receivable from CPFL Brasil of R$ 61,438, set against energy revenues, energy cost and financial income, amounting to R$ 22,683, R$ 30,307 and R$ 8,448, respectively;

This resulted in a provision for correction of the overcontracting asset of R$ 33,092, a provision of R$ 23,691 for the overcontracting liability and a net CVA liability of R$ 1,270, set against the energy cost of R$ 52,989 and financial expense of R$ 5,064;

b) For the subsidiary CPFL Brasil, recording of a provision for accounts payable of R$ 61,438, set against the reversal of the energy supply income and financial expense of R$ 52,990 and R$ 8,448, respectively.

Conservatively, and in order to fully cover the amounts approved by the Regulatory Agency, the distributors also recorded in 2008 provisions for realization of assets and provisions for liabilities related to overcontracting, relating to seasonal effects and losses, as provisionally established by ANEEL, reflecting the following accounting entries:

a) Recording of a provision for correction of the overcontracting asset of R$ 82,631, provision for the overcontracting liability of R$ 50,293, set against the energy cost of R$ 131,096 and financial expense of R$ 1,828. As part of this liability is already included in the Company’s tariff review, the amount is being amortized and as of December 31, 2008 the remaining balance was R$ 27,882;

b) Recording of a CVA asset of R$ 11,611, set against the energy cost of R$ 11,537 and financial income of R$ 74.

We stress that these provisions will be maintained until ANEEL finalizes its analyses and ratifies the final result of the tariff review and adjustment.

c.6) Low Income Consumers’ Subsidy

Law nº 10.438, of April 26, 2002 and Decree nº 4.336, of August 15, 2002, established new guidelines and criteria for classification of consumer units in the low-income residential sub-category. According to the legislation, this new criteria encompasses consumer units served by monophase circuits, with average monthly consumption in the last 12 months of less than 80kWh, and consumer units with average monthly consumption in the last 12 months of 80 to 220kWh, provided certain specific requirements are complied with, such as enrollment in Federal Government Social Programs.

73


Since the subsidies granted to consumers are to be offset, it was decided that, as from the 2008 tariff review, part of this subsidy will be reimbursed through the tariff in the ambit of the concessionaire itself (in accordance with the DNAEE Administrative Ruling) and the remaining part (in accordance with Law nº 10.438) through the receipt of CDE funds. These procedures were consolidated with the publication of REN No. 325/08, however, in view of the impossibility of reimbursement with CDE funds, due to the lack of resources for this purpose, the receivables recorded will be offset through the tariff, in the next annual tariff adjustment, as a financial component. With regard to the difference in income that was to be offset through the tariff, this was covered by a tariff advance in order to avoid compromising the Concessionaire’s cash flow. The difference between the amount of this advance taken into consideration in the tariff review or adjustment and the amount actually realized is recorded monthly to be offset in the next tariff adjustment.

c.7) Refund to Consumers – Recalculation IRT

On establishing the annual tariff adjustment (“IRT”) of the subsidiary CPFL Paulista on April 3, 2007, in Ratification Resolution nº 445, and in order to review the PIS and COFINS amounts of the generators, ANEEL recalculated the electric energy cost of the first 2005 and 2006 IRT contracts. As the cost of electric energy affects adjustment of the consumer tariff and calculation of CVA, the recalculation, which resulted in a reduction in the average energy price, generated a liability to be reimbursed to the consumers and an additional CVA asset. Also, the CVA amounts approved by ANEEL in the 2007 IRT excluded the electric energy contract surpluses. These effects basically explain the adjustments recorded in March 2007 (and related amounts realized to April 2008) of R$ 98,635 recorded in “Other Accounts Payable” (note 22), and R$ 177,710, recorded in “Deferred Tariff Cost Variations”, set against “Cost of Electric Energy” (note 25).

Financing of Consumers' Debts - Refers to the negotiation of overdue accounts receivable from consumers, principally public organizations. Payment of some of these credits is guaranteed by the debtors, in the case of public entities, by pledging the bank accounts through which their ICMS revenue is received. Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on best estimates of the subsidiaries' managements for unsecured amounts and losses regarded as probable (note 8).

Electric Energy Trading Chamber (“CCEE”) transactions - The amounts refer to the sale of electric energy on the short-term market in the period from September 2000 to December 2008. The noncurrent amount receivable mainly comprises: (i) legal adjustments, established as a result of suits brought by agents in the sector; (ii) lawsuits challenging the CCEE accounting for the period from September 2000 to December 2002; (iii) provisional accounting entries established by the CCEE; and (iv) amounts negotiated bilaterally pending settlement. The subsidiaries consider that there is no significant risk on the realization of these assets and consequently no provision was posted in the accounts.

Concessionaires and Licensees - Refers basically to accounts receivable in respect of the supply of electric energy to other Concessionaires and Licensees, mainly by the subsidiaries CPFL Geração and CPFL Brasil, and to transactions relating to the partial spin-off of Bandeirante by the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga. The amounts are set off against accounts payable, through a settlement of accounts.

In 2008, amounts receivable from AES Tietê S/A were also recorded by the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Leste Paulista, for use of the distribution system, and the respective pass-through (recording of accounts payable) for CTEEP – Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista in respect of the charge for use of the Border Transmission System. This negotiation, representing a pass-through of charges, resulted from sector regulations which, as from July 2004, attribute the responsibility for settlement of the portion of the generator connected to the CTEEP 138 kV transmission system to the respective distribution concessionaire, within its concession area.

76


AES Tietê challenged the collection of this charge, and did not make the payment. The subsidiary CPFL Paulista, in turn, under a preliminary injunction, did not pay CTEEP and recorded a contingent liability of R$ 11,259 for the period August 2004 to April 2005.

Under an agreement made between the parties involved, through the intermediary of ANEEL, the amounts will be settled both by the generator, and passed on by the subsidiaries to CTEEP, in 36 monthly installments as from January 2009, restated at the SELIC rate.

Receivables from CESP: Refers to amounts receivable from CESP by the subsidiary CPFL Paulista, deriving from balances of the Income to be Offset account transferred to CESP in 1993. The balance is restated in accordance with the variation of the U.S. dollar, plus interest calculated on 50% of the Quarterly Libor rate, and a spread of 0.40625% p.a., with a final maturity date of January 2010.

Receivables from BAESA’s shareholders: From November 1, 2005 to April 30, 2008, differences in the prices used in billing energy sold to the shareholders, different payment terms and other factors resulted in variations in contributions from the shareholders towards the results of the indirect subsidiary BAESA. To settle this question, the BAESA’s shareholders agreed in 2007 that the excess contributions made by the subsidiary CPFL Geração should be restated in accordance with the variation in the CDI rate and offset over 36 months as from January, 2009 by an increase in the price of energy billed to the shareholders Alcoa Alumínio, Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio, Camargo Corrêa Cimentos and DME Energética, and a reduction in the price to the subsidiary CPFL Geração. A credit of R$ 31,794 was recorded in 2007, and in June 2008, as a result of the final agreement, the accounts receivable were increased by R$ 7,295, set against “Other Operating Income”.

From May 1, 2008, the question of the differences in contribution towards BAESA's income was solved through approval by ANEEL of restructuring of the energy sales contracts, whereby BAESA sells the energy quota corresponding to its participation to the subsidiary CPFL Geração under the same conditions and prices as the other shareholders, and the subsidiary CPFL Geração trades this energy with the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga.

Advances – Fundação CESP: Refers to advances to employee welfare programs and operational maintenance of the entity.

Pledges, Funds and Tied Deposits: These represent collateral offered to guarantee CCEE operations.

Fund Tied to Foreign Currency Loans: These are guarantees offered when negotiating or renegotiating loans.

Services Rendered to Third Parties: Refers to accounts receivable for services provided to consumers in relation to electric energy distribution.

Refund of RGR: Refers to amounts to be offset in relation to the difference between the RGR - Global Reversal Reserve approved by ANEEL and the amount actually incurred, based on property, plant and equipment in use.

Advance Energy Purchase Agreements: Refers to prepayments of energy purchases by the subsidiaries, which will be liquidated on delivery of the energy to be supplied.

RGE

Since 2003, the accounting practices of the subsidiary RGE have included revaluation of assets. With the enactment of Law nº 11,638, the accounting practice of revaluation was eliminated, and RGE had the option of reversal on January 1, 2008, as decided in an Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 28, 2008. The reversal aligned RGE’s accounting practices with those of the Company.

However, in compliance with CVM Instruction nº 247/96, the Company has been reversing the effects of the revaluation recorded by RGE to realize the equity and consolidation. Even after reversal of revaluation, there is still a difference between the investment held by the Company and the net equity of the subsidiary due to the differences in depreciation rates (rates established by ANEEL and rates in accordance with the revaluation report, respectively). The difference of R$ 80,919 as of December 31, 2008 will be realized in proportion to the full depreciation of the assets.

CPFL Santa Cruz

The Company received R$ 39,997 on July 15, 2008 in relation to reduction of the capital of CPFL Santa Cruz. The objective of the reduction was to adjust the capital structure to bring it into line with the other distributors in the group. The operation was approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“AGE”) held on June 26, 2008, and did not result in cancellation of shares.

Perácio, CPFL Jaguariúna and subsidiaries

In June 2007, through the subsidiary Perácio, the Company acquired 94,810,080 common shares and 94,810,080 preferred shares of CPFL Jaguariúna, representing 100% of its capital, for the amount of R$ 407,710.

On December 30, 2008, in Authorization Resolution nº 1,737/2008, ANEEL approved corporate restructuring of the subsidiary CPFL Jaguariúna, comprising: i) the merger of Perácio by CPFL Jaguariúna; ii) total spin-off of CPFL Jaguariúna with transfer of the goodwill and the tax benefit to the subsidiaries CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Sul Paulista, CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Mococa, CPFL Serviços, CPFL Planalto and Jaguari Geração, and the remaining net equity (assets/liabilities), consisting basically of the investment in the subsidiaries, to the Company; and iii) capital reduction in the subsidiaries CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Sul Paulista, CPFL Jaguari and CPFL Mococa of up to R$ 63,000. After conclusion of this transaction, CPFL Energia will hold direct control of the subsidiaries.

authorization from the Regulatory Agency. ANEEL regulates the release of assets and concessions of the Public Electric Energy Service, granting prior authorization for the release of assets that are of no use to the concession, when intended for sale, establishing that the proceeds of the sale should be deposited in a tied bank account for investment in the concession.

The average depreciation rate of the assets is approximately 5.00% p.a. for the distributors and 2.6% p.a. for the generators.

Leased Assets: In the consolidated financial statements, the leased assets refer principally to the assets of the Serra da Mesa Plant, leased to the concession holder (Furnas), for a 30-year period, ending in 2028 (see details in note 1). The risks and benefits related to these assets were not transferred to the lessee and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful life at annual rates defined by ANEEL, and in accordance with general conditions of the concession agreement held by FURNAS.

On termination of the concession, these assets and facilities revert to the Granting Authority, in return for compensation.

Construction in progress: The consolidated balance mainly refers to work in progress on the projects of the operating subsidiaries and/or those under development, particularly the Foz do Chapecó generation project, with total property, plant and equipment of R$ 1,237,829 (R$ 631,293 proportional to the participation of the subsidiary CPFL Geração).

The interest on the loans taken by the projects to finance the construction is being or has been capitalized during the construction phase, and a total of R$ 77,299 (R$ 29,976 in 2007) was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Special Obligations linked to the Concession - Represent the amounts received from consumers and donations not linked to any return, and subsidies for funding investments to respond to applications for electric energy supply in the distribution business. As from the second Tariff Review cycle, the effects of the quotas for reintegration of the values of assets formed with funds from the Special Obligations, irrespective of the date of formation, are eliminated in the accounts by amortization of these obligations.

Concession Agreements: On signing their respective Concession Agreements, the jointly-controlled subsidiaries CERAN, ENERCAN, BAESA and Foz do Chapecó and the indirect subsidiary Paulista Lajeado assumed obligations to the Federal Government in relation to the granting of the concession, as “Public Utilities”. The liabilities are restated annually by the variation in the General Market Price Index – IGP-M and as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Until December 31, 2007, amounts related to the goodwill on the acquisition or increase in equity interest were recorded under Investments (“Goodwill”) and Property, plant and equipment (“Other assets not tied to the concession”). Since the enactment of Law nº 11,638/07 and the publication of CPC 04 Intangible Assets, in 2008, these amounts are defined and classified as intangible assets.

  Intangible concession asset
 
     Corresponds to the difference between the amount paid and the equity of acquired companies on the respective acquisition dates, as well as the future benefit held by the parent company of the right to exploit the concession. Classified as intangible assets with a fixed useful life, amortized in proportion to the net income curves projected for the remaining term of the concession contract. The intangible assets related to granting of concession are as follows:
 
    - Intangible asset acquired, not merged
 
    The parent company’s balance refers mainly to the goodwill on acquisition of all the shares held by CPFL Geração’s minority shareholders in June 2005, CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga in November 2005 and RGE in December 2007. The consolidated balances include the intangible asset on CPFL Jaguariúna’s acquisition. These intangible assets were not subject to a merger process.
 
    - Intangible asset acquired and merged – Deductible
 
    Relates to the goodwill on the acquisition of the subsidiaries that was merged with the respective net equities, without application of CVM Instructions 319/99 and 349/01, that is, without segregation of the amount corresponding to the tax benefit.
 
    - Intangible asset acquired and merged – Reassessed
 
    In order to comply with ANEEL instructions and avoid the goodwill amortization resulting from the merger of a subsidiary by the parent company causing a negative impact on dividends paid to the shareholders, the subsidiaries apply the concepts of CVM Instructions nº 319/99 and nº 349/01 in relation to this goodwill. Accordingly, a reserve was recorded to maintain the integrity of the subsidiaries’ equity, so that the effect on the equity reflects the tax benefit of the merged goodwill. These changes affected the Company's investment in the subsidiaries, and goodwill was recorded in the parent company in order to restore it.
 
  Other intangible assets
 
    The balance mainly comprises software, with a defined useful life, and amortization of 20% a year, and by rights of way, with indefinite useful life, recovery of which is analyzed in accordance with CPC 01 Impairment of Assets.

14.2 Analysis of the recoverable value

In accordance with CPC 01 Impairment of Assets, for purposes of analysis of recovery, the lowest level of cash generating unit taken into consideration was each of the concessions held, analyzed individually. The intangible asset recorded for the parent company was allocated, for purposes of this analysis, to each of these units.

The estimates of the recoverable values of the cash generating units were based on the value in use, namely the present value of the estimated future cash flows for these assets, and on the assumptions listed below. The amounts allocated to these assumptions represent Management’s assessment of the future trends in the electricity sector and are based on both external information sources and historical data.

The projections of the cash flows were based on the operating results and projections of the Company and its subsidiaries to the end of the respective concessions, and the following main assumptions:

The recoverable value of these assets exceeds their book value, and there are therefore no losses due to devaluation to be recorded.

As shown in the breakdown in the figures above, the Company and its subsidiaries, in compliance with CPC 14 Financial Instruments, classified their debts as (i) financial liabilities not measured at fair value (or measured at cost), and (ii) financial liabilities calculated at fair value through profit or loss.

The objective of classification as financial liabilities measured at fair value is to compare the effects of recognition of income and expenses derived from marking to market the derivatives used as a hedge tied to the respective debts in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information. The following figure provides additional information as to the cost value of the debts and the comparison with the respective fair values:

The changes in the fair values of these debts are recorded in the financial income (expense) of the Company and its subsidiaries. The gains obtained by marking these debts to market (R$ 61,627) are offset by the effects of R$ 73,885 obtained by marking to market the derivative financial instruments contracted as a hedge against exchange and interest variations (Note 32), generating a net loss of R$ 12,258.

RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS

BNDES

Financing from the BNDES restricts the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and RGE to: (i) not paying dividends and interest on equity totaling more than the minimum mandatory dividend laid down by law without prior agreement of the BNDES, and the lead bank in the operation; (ii) full compliance with the restrictive conditions established in the contract; and (iii) maintaining certain financial ratios within preestablished parameters, as follows:

96


CPFL Paulista

CPFL Piratininga

RGE

BNDES - FINEM I

BNDES - FINEM IV

CPFL Geração

The loans raised from the BNDES by the indirect jointly-controlled subsidiaries ENERCAN, BAESA, CERAN and Foz do Chapecó, establish restrictions on the payment of dividends to the subsidiary CPFL Geração higher than the minimum mandatory dividend of 25% without the prior agreement of the BNDES

The subsidiary ENERCAN’s loans from the BNDES and IDB contain clauses that require the subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios within preestablished parameters. As a result of the damage that occurred in the bypass tunnels of the Campos Novos hydropower plant, the start of commercial operations was postponed, compromising generation of the cash required to meet certain contractual obligations by the deadline originally foreseen. ENERCAN's management has already asked the respective financial institutions to review the contractual parameters, and has obtained confirmation that this review will not involve declaration of early maturity of the loan contract.

Other loan and financing agreements of the direct and indirect subsidiaries are subject to early settlement in the event of changes in the Company’s structure or in the corporate structure of the subsidiaries that result in the loss of the share control or of control over management of the Company by the Company’s current shareholders.

Furthermore, failure to comply with the obligations or restrictions mentioned could result in default in relation to other contractual obligations (cross default).

97


The Management of the Company and its subsidiaries monitor these indices systematically and constantly to ensure that the contractual conditions are complied with. In the opinion of the management, these restrictive covenants and clauses are being adequately complied with, except in relation to ENERCAN, as mentioned above.

CPFL Energia

CPFL Paulista

CPFL Piratininga

RGE

BAESA

Certain debentures of the direct and indirect subsidiaries are subject to early settlement in the event of changes in the Company’s structure or in the corporate structure of the subsidiaries that result in the loss of the share control or of control over management of the Company by the Company’s current shareholders.

99


In the opinion of the managements of the subsidiaries, these restrictive conditions and clauses are being adequately complied with.

Failure to comply with the restrictions mentioned could result in default in relation to other contractual obligations.

( 18 ) EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS 
 

The subsidiaries CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and CPFL Geração, through Fundação CESP, the subsidiary RGE, through Fundação CEEE de Seguridade Social (“ELETROCEEE”), the subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz through BB Previdência – Fundo de Pensão Banco do Brasil and the subsidiary CPFL Jaguariúna through IHPREV Fundo de Pensão, sponsor supplementary retirement and pension plans for their employees. The main characteristics of these plans are as follows:

I – CPFL Paulista

The plan currently in force for the employees of the subsidiary CPFL Paulista is a Mixed Benefit Plan, with the following characteristics:

a) Defined Benefit Plan (“BD”) – in force until October 31, 1997 – a defined benefit plan, which grants a Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit (BSPS), in the form of a lifetime income convertible into a pension, to participants enrolled prior to October 31, 1997, the amount being defined in proportion to the accumulated past service time up to that date, based on compliance with the regulatory requirements for granting. The total responsibility for coverage of actuarial deficits of this plan falls to CPFL Paulista.

b) Mixed model, as from November 1, 1997, which covers:

With the modification of the Retirement Plan in October of 1997, a liability was recognized as payable by the subsidiary in relation to the plan's deficit calculated at the time by the external actuaries of Fundação CESP, to be liquidated in 260 installments, amortized monthly, plus interest of 6% p.a. and restatement at the IGP-DI (FGV). Under the Contractual Addendum signed with Fundação CESP on January 17, 2008, the payment terms changed to 238 monthly installments and 19 annual installments, in relation to the base date of December 31, 2007, with final maturity on October 31, 2027. Under the contract, the liability is adjusted annually in accordance with the deficit/surplus determined in the actuarial report, carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Supplementary Pensions Department (“SPC”), which differ from the entry criteria followed by the subsidiary in conformity with CVM Decision nº 371/00. The balance of the obligation as of December 31, 2008 is R$ 702,696 (R$ 560,190 as of December 31, 2007).

II – CPFL Piratininga

100


As a result of the split-off of Bandeirante Energia S.A. (the subsidiary’s predecessor), the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga assumed the responsibility for the actuarial liabilities for its retired and discharged employees up to the date of the split-off, as well as the responsibilities relating to the active employees transferred to CPFL Piratininga.

On April 2, 1998, the SPC approved the restructuring of the retirement plan previously maintained by Bandeirante, creating a "Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit Plan – BSPS”, and a "Mixed Benefit Plan", with the following characteristics:

a) Defined Benefit Plan – in force until March 31, 1998 – a defined-benefit plan, which concedes a Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit (BSPS), in the form of a lifetime income convertible into a pension to participants registered up to March 31, 1998, to an amount calculated in proportion to the accumulated past service time up to that date, based on compliance with the regulatory requirements for granting. CPFL Piratininga is fully responsible for covering the actuarial deficits of this Plan.

b) Defined Benefit Plan – in force after March 31, 1998 – defined-benefit type plan, which concedes a lifetime income convertible into a pension in relation to the past service time accumulated after March 31, 1998, based on 70% of the average actual monthly salary for the last 36 months of active service. In the event of death while working or the onset of a disability, the benefits incorporate the entire past service time (including the accumulated time up to March 31, 1998). The responsibility for covering the actuarial deficits of this Plan is equally divided between CPFL Piratininga and the participants.

c) Defined Contribution Plan – implemented together with the Defined Benefit plan effective after March 31, 1998, this is a pension plan up to the granting of lifetime income, convertible (or not) into a pension, and generates no actuarial liability for CPFL Piratininga. The pension plan only becomes Defined Benefit type plan after the concession of the lifetime income, convertible (or not) into a pension, and accordingly starts to generate actuarial liabilities for the subsidiary.

In September 1997, through a contractual instrument of adjustment of reserves to be amortized, Eletropaulo Metropolitana El. São Paulo S.A. (the predecessor of Bandeirante) recognized an obligation to pay referring to the plan deficit determined at the time by the external actuaries of the Fundação CESP, to be liquidated in 260 installments, amortized monthly, plus interest of 6% p.a. and restatement based on the IGP-DI (FGV). Under the Contractual Amendment, signed with Fundação CESP on January 17, 2008, the payment terms were amended to 221 monthly payments and 18 annual installments, in relation to the base date of December 31, 2007, with final maturity on May 31, 2026. Under the contract, the liability is adjusted annually in accordance with the deficit/surplus determined in the actuarial report, carried out in accordance with the regulations of the SPC, which differ from the entry criteria followed by the subsidiary in conformity with CVM Decision nº 371/00. The balance of the obligation as of December 31, 2008, is R$ 183,507 (R$ 145,813 as of December 31, 2007).

III – RGE

A defined benefit type plan, with a benefit level equal to 100% of the adjusted average of the most recent salaries, including the presumed Social Security benefit, with a Segregated Net Asset administered by ELETROCEEE. Only those employed prior to the spin-off from CEEE to RGE are entitled to this benefit.

IV – CPFL Santa Cruz

101


Since November 1, 2007, management of the benefits plan of the subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz, originally performed by FUNSEJEM, has passed to BB Previdência Fundo de Pensão do Banco do Brasil. The subsidiary CPFL Santa Cruz plan is a defined contribution plan.

V – CPFL Geração

The plans currently in force for the employees of subsidiary CPFL Geração are a Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit (“BSPS”) and a Mixed Benefit Plan, along the same lines as the CPFL Paulista plan.

With the modification of the Retirement Plan, at that point maintained by CPFL Paulista, in October 1997, a liability was recognized as payable by the subsidiary CPFL Geração, relating to the plan deficit calculated by the external actuaries of Fundação CESP, which is being amortized on a monthly basis, in 260 installments, plus interest of 6% p.a. and restatement according to the IGP-DI (FGV). Under the Contractual Amendment, signed with Fundação CESP on January 17, 2008, the payment terms were amended to 238 monthly installments and 19 annual installments, in relation to the base date of December 31, 2007, with final maturity on October 31, 2027. Under the contract, the liability is adjusted annually in accordance with the deficit/surplus determined in the actuarial report, carried out in accordance with the regulations of the SPC, which differ from the entry criteria followed by the subsidiary in conformity with CVM Decision nº 371/00. As of December 31, 2008, the balance of the liability, which is restated annually in line with the evolution of the actuarial deficit calculated in accordance with the criteria of the Supplementary Pensions Department, was R$ 14,327 (R$ 11,318 as of December 31, 2007).

The reserves for contingencies were based on appraisal of the risks of losing litigation to which the Company and its subsidiaries are parties, where a loss is probable in the opinion of the legal advisers and the management of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The principal pending issues relating to litigation, legal cases and tax assessments are summarized below:

a) Labor: The principal labor suits relate to claims filed by former employees or unions for additional salary payments (overtime, salary parity, severance payments and other claims). Under the terms of the Bandeirante spin-off protocol, the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga is responsible for the liabilities corresponding to the contingent risks of the employees located in the corresponding regions assumed by CPFL Piratininga, while corporate litigation prior to the date of the spin-off, October 1, 2001, is assumed in the proportion to the percentage of the controlling shareholders prior to the spin-off (56% for Bandeirante and 44% for CPFL Piratininga).

b) Personal damages: Mainly refer to claims for indemnities. These cases include claims relating to accidents in the subsidiaries' electrical networks, damage to consumers, vehicle accidents, etc.

c) Tariff increase: Corresponds to various claims by industrial consumers as a result of increases imposed by DNAEE Ordinances 38 and 45, dated February 27 and March 4, 1986, when the “Plano Cruzado” economic plan price freeze was in effect.

d) Energy purchased: As result of the loss of free consumers, the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga requested a reduction in the power demand of the initial supply contracts, which was partially granted by ANEEL. The subsidiaries filed a lawsuit on the grounds of disagreement with the physical amounts established by ANEEL, alleging a discrepancy in the calculations and making monthly escrow deposits of the amounts in question.

e) FINSOCIAL: Refers to the questioning in the courts of the increase in rate and collection of FINSOCIAL during the period June 1989 to October 1991.

f) PIS and COFINS – Interest on Shareholders’ Equity: at the end of 2005, the Company obtained an injunction with a view to non-payment of PIS and COFINS levied on interest on shareholders’ equity.

g) Income tax: For the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga, the entry refers to the injunction obtained in respect of the tax deductibility of CSLL in calculating IRPJ. In the case of the subsidiary RGE, it refers to a request for suspension of a decision of the Federal Revenue Office, in order to considering the deductibility of amounts paid to supplement the retirement provisions of beneficiaries of Fundação ELETROCEEE.

106


For the subsidiary CPFL Paulista, refers to discussion of the deductibility for income tax purposes of expense recorded in 1997 in respect of the welfare deficit of the pension plan of employees in relation to Fundação CESP, due to the renegotiation and renewal of debt in that year. On consulting the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office, the parent company obtained a favorable reply in Note MF/SRF/COSIT/GAB nº 157, of April 9, 1998, and took advantage of the tax deductibility of the expense, thereby generating a tax loss for that year. In March 2000, the subsidiary was assessed by the tax inspectors in relation to use of the tax loss carryforwards in 1997 and 1998. In 2007, as a result of the legal decision demanding the deposit in order to allow the discussions to be continued, the Company made an escrow deposit, which, restated to December 31, 2008, amounts to R$ 414,690 (R$ 373,116 restated to December 31, 2007). This deductibility also affected other taxes and, in order to be able to continue discussions, the subsidiary offered in guarantee (bank guarantees) a total of R$ 228,095, restated as of December 31, 2008. Based on the updated position of the legal counsel in charge of the case, the risk of loss continues to be a classified as remote.

h) Other - Tax: Refers to other suits in progress at the judicial and administrative levels and of a regulatory nature resulting from the subsidiaries' operations, relating to INSS, FGTS and SAT tax issues.

i) Possible losses: The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other suits in which management, supported by its legal advisers, believes that the chances of a successful outcome are possible, due to a solid defensive position in these cases. It is not yet possible to predict the outcome of the courts’ decisions or any other decisions on similar cases considered to be probable or remote. Consequently, no allowances were provided. The claims relating to possible losses as of December 31, 2008 were as follows: (i) R$ 230,267 for labor cases (R$ 211,432 as of December 31, 2007); (ii) R$ 492,093 for civil cases relating to personal injuries, environmental damages and tariff increases (R$ 398,739 as of December 31, 2007); and (iii) R$ 525,326 referring to claims on tax issues, principally Income Tax, ICMS (VAT), FINSOCIAL, PIS and COFINS (R$ 466,769 as of December 31, 2007).

Based on the opinion of their legal advisers, Management of the Company and of its subsidiaries consider that there are no significant contingent risks that are not covered by adequate provisions in the Financial Statements, or that might result in the significant impact on future earnings.

Those entities in which the controlling shareholders participate in the respective Boards of Directors, even without exercising control, are regarded as exercising significant influence. Balances and transactions involving related parties are shown in tables 30.1 and 30.2.

The main transactions are described below:

a) Bank deposits and short-term investments – Refer mainly to bank deposits and short-term financial investments, in accordance with Note 4.

b) Loans and Financing, debentures and derivatives contracts - Funds raised in accordance with Note 16 and Note 17, contracted under normal market conditions, in force at the time.

c) Other Financial Transactions – The amounts in relation to Votorantim Energia and Banco Itaú are basically financial guarantee costs. The amounts in relation to Banco do Brasil are bank costs and collection expenses. The Company also has an Exclusive Investment Fund, managed by Votorantim Asset Management and BB DTVM, which charge management fees under normal market conditions for such management. The balance recorded in liabilities comprises basically the rights over the payroll processing of certain subsidiaries, negotiated with Banco do Brasil, which will be appropriated as income in the statement of operations over the term of the contract.

d) Property, plant and equipment, Materials and Service Provision – Refers to the acquisition of equipment, cables and other materials for use in distribution and generation, and contracting of services such as construction and information technology consultancy. These operations were contracted under normal market conditions.

g) Other revenue – Refers basically to revenue from rental of use of the distribution system for telephony services.

The subsidiaries that are concessionaires of the public distribution service charge tariffs for the use of the distribution system (TUSD) and sell energy to related parties in their respective concession areas (captive consumers). The amounts charged are established in accordance with prices regulated by the regulatory agency. These distributors also purchase energy from related parties, mainly involving long-term agreements, in conformity with the rules established by the sector (principally by auction); these prices are also regulated and approved by ANEEL.

In addition, certain subsidiaries have supplementary retirement plan maintained with Fundação CESP and offered to the employees of the subsidiaries, in accordance with Note 18.

To ensure that commercial transactions with related parties are conducted under normal market conditions, the Company set up a Related Parties Committee, comprising representatives of the controlling shareholders, responsible for analyzing such transactions.

The Company guarantees certain loans raised by its subsidiaries, as mentioned in Notes 16 and 17.

( 32 ) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATING RISKS 
 

Classification of the financial instruments

The financial instruments are classified as:

119


Financial assets, in the categories: (i) loans and receivables, (ii) calculated at fair value through profit or loss, (iii) held-to-maturity investments and, (iv) available for sale. Classification is based on the following criteria:

i. Loans and receivables
These are financial assets with fixed or calculable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These financial assets are recorded at historic cost by the amortized cost method.

The main financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries classified in this category are: (i) consumers, concessionaires and licensees (Note 5), (ii) dividends and interest on capital (Note 12.2) and, (iii) other credits (Note 11).

ii. Calculated at fair value through profit or loss
These are financial assets that are (i) maintained for short-term trading, (ii) denominated at fair value with the objective of comparing the effects of recognition of income and expenses in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information or, (iii) derivatives. These assets are recorded at their fair values and, in the case of any subsequent change in these fair values, they are set against the income statement.

The main financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries classified in this category are: (i) cash and cash equivalents and short-term financial investments (Note 4) and (ii) derivatives.

iii. Held-to-maturity investments
These are non derivative financial assets with fixed or calculable payments and defined maturities, which the Company intends to maintain until maturity. The financial assets in this classification are recorded at historic cost by the amortized cost method.

The Company and its subsidiaries classified the following financial assets in this category: (i) security receivable from CESP (Note 6) and, (ii) credits receivable by the subsidiary CPFL Paulista from CESP (Note 11).

iv. Available for sale
Refers to the financial assets that do not fall into any of the above classifications or that are designated as available for sale. These financial assets are recorded at the respective fair values and, in the case of any subsequent change in these fair values, they are set against the equity.

The Company and its subsidiaries have no financial assets classified in this category.

Financial liabilities, in the categories: (i) calculated at fair value through profit or loss, (ii) not calculated at fair value through profit or loss. They are classified in accordance with the following criteria:

i. Calculated at fair value through profit or loss
These are financial liabilities that are: (i) maintained for short-term trading, (ii) denominated at fair value with the objective of comparing the effects of recognition of income and expenses in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information or, (iii) derivatives. These liabilities are recorded at their fair values and, in the case of any change in the calculation of these subsequent fair values, they are set against the income statement.

The Company and its subsidiaries classified the following financial liabilities in this category: (i) certain debts in foreign currencies (Note 16) and, (ii) derivatives.

120


ii. Not calculated at fair value through profit or loss
These are other financial liabilities that do not fall into the above category. The financial liabilities in this category are recorded and amortized basically by the amortized cost method.

The main financial liabilities classified in this category are: (i) suppliers (note 15), (ii) loans and financing (Note 16), (iii) debt charges (Note 16); (iv) debenture charges (Note 17); (v) debentures (Note 17) and (vi) other accounts payable (Note 22).

Risk Considerations

The business of the Company and its subsidiaries comprises principally generation, sale and distribution of electric energy. As public service concessionaires, the operations and/or tariffs of its principal subsidiaries are regulated by ANEEL.

The principal market risk factors that affect the business are the following:

Exchange rate risk: This risk derives from the possibility of the subsidiaries incurring losses and cash constraints on account of fluctuations in exchange rates, increasing the balances of foreign currency denominated liabilities. The exposure in relation to raising funds in foreign currency is largely covered by contracting swap operations, which allow the Company and its subsidiaries to exchange the original risks of the operation for the cost of the variation in the CDI.

The Company’s subsidiaries are also exposed in their operations to exchange variations on the purchase of electric energy from Itaipu. The compensation mechanism - CVA protects the companies against possible losses.

Interest Rate Risk: This risk derives from the possibility of the Company and its subsidiaries incurring losses due to fluctuations in interest rates that increase financial expenses on loans, financing and debentures. The Company and its subsidiaries set certain loans taken out in local currency against regulatory assets restated in accordance with the variation in the SELIC rate. Swap operations have been contracted for a portion of the debentures issued as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The subsidiaries have also tried to increase the portion of loans tied to the variation in the TJLP, an index less susceptible to the oscillations of the financial market.

Credit Risk: This risk arises from the possibility of the subsidiaries incurring losses resulting from difficulties in receiving amounts billed to customers. This risk is evaluated by the subsidiaries as low, as it is spread over the number of customers and in view of the collection policy and cancellation of supply to defaulting consumers.

Risk of Energy Shortages: The energy sold by the subsidiaries is basically generated by hydropower plants. A prolonged period of low rainfall, together with an unforeseen increase in demand, could result in a reduction in the volume of water in the power plants’ reservoirs, compromising the recovery of their volume, and resulting in losses due to the increase in the cost of purchasing energy or a reduction in revenue due to the introduction of another rationing program, as in 2001.

Risk of Acceleration of Debts: The subsidiaries have loan agreements, financing and debentures with restrictive clauses (covenants) normally applicable to these kinds of operation, related to compliance with economic and financial ratios, cash generation, etc. These covenants are monitored appropriately and do not restrict the capacity to operate normally.

121


Management of Risks on Financial instruments

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain certain operating and financial policies and strategies with a view to ensuring the liquidity, security and profitability of their assets. As a result, control and follow-up procedures are in place on the transactions and balances of financial instruments, for the purpose of monitoring the risks and current rates in relation to those used in the market.

Risk management controls: In order to manage the risks inherent to the financial instruments and to monitor the procedures established by management, the Company and its subsidiaries use the MAPS software system to calculate the VaR - Value at Risk, and Mark to Market, Stress Testing and Duration of the instruments, and assesses the risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed. Historically, the financial instruments contracted by the Company and the subsidiaries supported by these tools have produced adequate risk mitigation results. We stress that the Company and its subsidiaries contract derivatives, always with the appropriate levels of approval, only in the event of exposure that management regards as a risk. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries do not enter into transactions involving exotic or speculative derivatives. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Law, and accordingly have internal control policies that aim for a strict control environment to minimize the exposure to risks.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

The estimates of the market value of the financial instruments were based on pricing models, applied individually for each transaction, taking into consideration the future payment flows, based on the conditions contracted, discounted to present value at market interest rates, based on information obtained from the BM&F, Bovespa and Andima sites.

Accordingly, the market value of a security corresponds to its maturity value (redemption value) marked to present value by the discount factor (relating to the maturity date of the security) obtained from the market interest graph.

In the case of specific electricity sector operations, where there are no similar transactions in the market and with low liquidity, mainly related to the emergency electric energy rationing program, regulatory aspects and credits receivable from CESP, the subsidiaries assumed that the market value is represented by the respective book value. This is due to the uncertainties reflected in the variables which have to be taken into consideration in creating a pricing model.

In addition to the assets and financial liabilities calculated at fair value through profit or loss, the Company and its subsidiaries have other financial liabilities not calculated at fair value, which may be compared to the amounts raised in the market, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, as follows:

Derivatives

As previously mentioned the Company and its subsidiaries use derivatives as a hedge against the risks of variations in exchange and interest rates, without any speculative purposes. The Company and its subsidiaries have an exchange hedge compatible with the net exposure to exchange risks, including all the assets and liabilities tied to exchange variation.

The hedge instruments contracted by the Company and its subsidiaries are currency or interest rate swaps with no leverage component, margin call requirements or daily or periodical adjustments. As terms of the majority of the derivatives contracted by the Company and its subsidiaries are fully aligned with the debts protected, and in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information through the recognition of income and expenses, the respective debts were denominated, for accounting purposes, at fair value. Other debts with different terms from the derivatives contracted as a hedge continue to be recorded at cost. Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries do not use hedge accounting for derivative operations.

(1) The interest rate hedge swaps have half-yearly validity, so the notional value reduces in accordance with amortization of the debt.
(2) The interest rate hedge swaps have monthly validity, so the notional value reduces in accordance with amortization of the debt.

In spite of the net losses determined by marking the derivatives shown above to market, the effects were minimized by the option exercised by the Company and its subsidiaries also to mark to market the debts tied to hedge instruments. We show below the effects of marking the debts to market, offsetting the losses determined only for the respective tied derivatives:

Subsidiary    Derivative (*)   Debt    Net

    (73,885)   61,627    (12,258)
       

(*) Refer only to debt derivatives denominated at fair values.

The Company and its subsidiaries have recorded gains and losses on their derivatives. However, as these derivatives are used as a hedge, these gains and losses minimized the impact of variations in exchange and interest rates on the protected indebtedness. In 2008 and 2007, the derivatives resulted in the following impacts on the consolidated result:

Effects of the initial compliance with CPC 14

Due to the initial compliance with CPC 14 Financial instruments, the Company and its subsidiaries retrospectively marked the derivatives and certain debts with tied derivatives to market. The following table shows a breakdown of the adjustments made:

    2008    2007    Previous years 
       
Company    Derivative    Debt    Derivative    Debt    Derivative    Debt 
             
CPFL Energia    2,629    (2,114)   (2,758)   2,727    (1,030)   (613)

    (61,165)   55,352    (11,544)   7,439    (1,272)   (1,164)
             

Other exchange exposure

It should be noted that the indirect subsidiary ENERCAN has no swaps, as an exchange hedge, in relation to the debt of R$ 106,567 to the BID and BNDES since a percentage of its tariff adjustments covers the exchange variation in the tariff period. In spite of the existence of a natural hedge against this exposure, the effect of exchange variations on these debts generated a loss of R$ 32,572 for the year, which will only be recovered after the subsidiary's next tariff adjustment.

The subsidiary CPFL Paulista also has a total indebtedness in foreign currency of R$ 696,246. As a hedge against exchange exposure, it contracted derivatives used as a hedge directly tied to the indebtedness of R$ 621,711. To minimize the exchange exposure, the subsidiary also contracted a nontied derivative of R$ 14,953 and also has sufficient assets indexed in dollars (credit receivable from CESP and a fund tied to foreign currency loans – Note 11) to offset any exchange impact.

Sensitivity Analysis

In compliance with CVM Instruction 475/08, the Company and its subsidiaries performed sensitivity analyses of the main risks to which their financial instruments (including derivatives) are exposed, mainly comprising variations in exchange and interest rates, as shown below:

Exchange variation

If the level of exchange exposure at December 31, 2008 were maintained, the simulation of the effects on the consolidated financial statements by type of financial instrument for three different scenarios would be:

* In accordance with exchange graphs contained in information provided by the BM&F 
**In compliance with CVM Instruction 475/08 

Variation in interest rates

Supposing that (i) the scenario of exposure of the financial instruments indexed to variable interest rates as of December 31, 2008 were to be maintained, and (ii) the respective accumulated annual indexes as of that date were to remain stable (CDI – 13.6% p.a.; IGP-M – 9.81% p.a.; TJLP – 6.25% p.a.), the effects on the consolidated financial statements for the coming year would be a net financial expense of R$560,468. In the event of fluctuations in the indexes in accordance with the three scenarios described, the effect on the net financial expense would as follows:

    Consolidated
