Nota 1 | General information

History and development of the Company

Edenor S.A. was organized on July 21, 1992 by Executive Order No. 714/92 in connection with the privatization and concession process of the distribution and sale of electric power carried out by SEGBA.

By means of an International Public Bidding, the PEN awarded 51% of the Company’s capital stock, represented by the Class "A" shares, to the bid made by EASA, the parent company of Edenor S.A. The award as well as the transfer contract were approved on August 24, 1992 by Executive Order No. 1,507/92 of the PEN.

On September 1, 1992, EASA took over the operations of Edenor S.A.

The corporate purpose of Edenor S.A. is to engage in the distribution and sale of electricity within the concession area. Furthermore, among other activities, the Company may subscribe or acquire shares of other electricity distribution companies, subject to the approval of the regulatory agency, assign the use of the network to provide electricity transmission or other voice, data and image transmission services, and render advisory, training, maintenance, consulting, and management services and know-how related to the distribution of electricity both in Argentina and abroad. These activities may be conducted directly by Edenor S.A. or through subsidiaries or related companies. In addition, the Company may act as trustee of trusts created under Argentine laws.

The Company’s economic and financial situation

In fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded, as it did in fiscal years 2012 and 2014, negative operating and net results, thus deteriorating once again its economic and financial situation, which had temporarily improved in fiscal year 2015 as a consequence of the issuance by the SE of Resolution No. 32/15, which addressed the need for the adjustment of the distribution companies’ resources and considered that the adoption of urgent and interim measures was necessary in order to maintain the normal provision of the public service, object of the concession.

This imbalance in the business equation was caused by the delay in the compliance with certain obligations under the Adjustment Agreement, especially with regard to both the recognition of the semiannual rate adjustments resulting from the MMC, and the carrying out of the RTI, mitigated by the adoption of certain interim measures.

In that regard, the Company has absorbed the higher costs associated with the provision of the service and complied with the execution of the investment plan and the carrying out of the essential operation and maintenance works that are necessary to maintain the provision of the public service in a satisfactory manner in terms of quality and safety, which, in a context of constant increase in the demand for electricity, has deteriorated the Company’s economic and financial equation over all these years.

As part of the measures aimed at the restructuring of the electricity sector, in January 2016, the MEyM issued Resolutions Nos. 6 and 7 and the ENRE its Resolution No. 1, which approved a new electricity rate system that reflected the new generation cost and sought to partially adjust the Distribution companies’ revenue in order for them to be able to cover their operating costs and make investments.

8

At the same time, the aforementioned MEyM Resolution No. 7/16 repealed SE Resolution No. 32/15, pursuant to which the government grant mentioned in the first paragraph of this Note had been granted, and instructed the ENRE to take all the necessary steps to conclude the RTI before December 31, 2016. In this regard, the ENRE issued the Resolution that approved the program for the Review of the distribution tariff, establishing the criteria and methodologies for the process. As a result, on October 28, 2016, the public hearing necessary to define the electricity rate schedule for the next period was held and the new electricity rate schedule, effective as from February 1, 2017, was issued by means of ENRE Resolution No. 63/17 (Note 2.a).

Considering the application of the RTI as from February 1, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors is optimistic that the new electricity rates will result in the Company’s operating once again under a regulatory framework with clear and precise rules, which will make it possible not only to cover the operation costs, afford the investment plans and meet debt interest payments, but also to deal with the impact of the different variables that affect the Company’s business.

As of March 31, 2017, the result of operations for the three-month period amounts to $ 0.4 billion– profit-, whereas the working capital totals $ 2.8 billion – deficit-, which includes the amount owed to CAMMESA for $ 3.9 billion (principal plus interest accrued as of March 31, 2017). The Company has submitted a payment plan proposal based on its available and projected cash flows, in respect of which no reply from CAMMESA has been received at the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements.

Nota 2 | Regulatory framework

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company as of December 31, 2016 are the following:

a) Tariff Structure Review

On January 31, 2017, the ENRE issued Resolution No. 63/17, pursuant to which it determined the definitive Electricity Rate Schedules, the review of costs, the required quality levels, and all the other rights and obligations that are to be applied and complied with by the Company as from February 1, 2017. The above-mentioned regulation was adapted by the ENRE by means of the issuance of Resolutions Nos. 81/17, 82/17, and 92/17, and Note No. 124,898.

The aforementioned Resolution states that the ENRE, as instructed by the MEyM, shall limit the increase in the VAD resulting from the RTI process and applicable as from February 1, 2017, to a maximum of 42%, as compared to the VAD in effect at the date of issuance of the aforementioned resolution, with the remaining value of the new VAD being applied in two stages, the first of them in November 2017 and the last one in February 2018. Additionally, the ENRE shall recognize and allow the Company to bill the VAD difference arising as a consequence of the gradual application of the tariff increase recognized in the RTI in 48 installments as from February 1, 2018, which will be incorporated into the VAD’s value resulting as of that date. As of March 31, 2017, the amount arising from the aforementioned limitation and not recognized by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements amounts approximately to $ 933.2 million.

9

Despite the previously described progress achieved with regard to the completion of the RTI process, at the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the definitive treatment to be given, by the MEyM, to all the issues resulting from the non-compliance with the Adjustment Agreement, including the remaining balances and other effects caused by the partial measures adopted, has yet to be defined.

These issues, among other, are the following:

i) the treatment to be given to the remaining balances of the amounts received for the fulfillment of the Investment Plan through the loans for consumption (mutuums) granted to cover the insufficiency of the funds deriving from the FOCEDE;

ii) the treatment to be given to the funds disbursed by the Company for the fulfillment of the Investment Plan, not included in i) above;

iii) the conditions for the settlement of the balance outstanding with CAMMESA at the date of issuance of SE Resolution No. 32/15, for which purpose the Company has submitted a payment plan;

iv) the treatment to be given to the Penalties and Discounts whose payment/crediting is pending.

Finally, on April 26, 2017 the Company was notified that the MEyM had provided that, once the RTI process is completed, the SE -with the participation of the Under-Secretariat for Tariff Policy Coordination- and the ENRE, shall determine in a term of 120 days whether any pending obligations exist until the effective date of the electricity rate schedules resulting from the RTI, and in connection with the Adjustment Agreement entered into on February 13, 2006. In such a case, the treatment to be given to those obligations shall also be determined.

b) Penalties

In addition to that which has been mentioned in note 2.c to the financial statements as of December 31, 2016, in relation to the control procedures, the service quality assessment methodologies, and the penalty system applicable as from February 1, 2017 for the 2017 – 2021 period set out by ENRE Resolution No. 63/17, the Regulatory Entity, by Note No. 125,248 dated March 29, 2017, set new penalty determination and adjustment mechanisms, providing for the following:

i) Penalty values shall be determined on the basis of the kwh value, the average electricity rate, the cost of energy not supplied or other economic parameter at the value in effect at the first day of the control period or the value in effect at the date of the penalizable event for penalties arising from specific events.

ii) For all the events that occurred during the transition period (the period between the signing of the Adjustment Agreement and the effective date of the RTI) for which a penalty has not been imposed, penalties shall be adjusted by the consumer price index (IPC) used by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) to produce the multilateral real exchange rate index (ITCRM) for the month prior to the end of the control period or that for the month prior to the date of occurrence of the penalizable event for penalties arising from specific events, until the date on which the penalty is imposed. This mechanism is also applicable to the concepts penalized after April 15, 2016 (ENRE Note No. 120,151) and until the effective date of the RTI. This adjustment will be part of the penalty principal amount.

iii) Unpaid penalties will accrue interest at the BNA lending rate for thirty-day discount transactions from the date of the resolution to the date of actual payment, as interest on late payment. In the case of penalties related to Customer service, the calculated amount shall be increased by 50%.

10

iv) Penalties subsequent to February 1, 2017 will be valued at the Kwh value or the cost of energy not supplied of the first day of the control period or of the day of occurrence of the penalizable event for penalties arising from specific events. Those concepts will not be adjusted by the IPC, applying the interest on late payment established in iii) above. Moreover, an additional fine equivalent to twice the amount of the penalty will be determined if payment is not made in due time and manner.

The impact of these new penalty determination and adjustment mechanisms have been quantified by the Company and recognized as of March 31, 2017.

c) Framework agreement

Due to the fact that at the date of these condensed interim financial statements the approvals of the new Framework Agreement for the January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2018 period by both the Federal and the Provincial Governments are still in process, no cumulative revenue has been recognized as of March 31, 2017 for $ 148.1 million.

Nota 4.1 | New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB

IAS 7 "Statement of cash flows": It was amended in January 2016. An entity is required to disclose information that will enable users of financial statements to understand changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. This includes changes arising from cash flows, such as drawdowns and repayments of borrowings; and non-cash changes, such as acquisitions, disposals and unrealized exchange differences. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The application of the amendments will have no impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position, it will only imply new disclosures.

IAS 12 “Income taxes”: It was amended in January 2016 to clarify the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset’s tax base. The amendments also clarify other aspects related to the accounting for deferred tax assets. The amendments came into effect as from January 1, 2017. Those amendments have had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

Nota 5 | Financial risk management Nota 5.1 | Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities and the market in which it operates expose the Company to a series of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flows interest rate risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

ii. Fair value estimate

The Company classifies the measurements of financial instruments at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the relevance of the variables used to carry out such measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

· Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).

· Level 3 : inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

Nota 6 | Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assessments concerning the future, exercise critical judgments and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

These estimates and judgments are permanently evaluated and are based upon past experience and other factors that are reasonable under the existing circumstances. Future actual results may differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim financial statements.

Except for that mentioned in Note 2.b, in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements, there have been no changes in either the critical judgments made by the Company when applying its accounting policies or the information sources of estimation uncertainty with respect to those applied in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The claimants’ waiver was a condition under the Company’s Agreement for the Renegotiation of the Concession Agreement (the “Adjustment Agreement”) that was to be fulfilled after the issuance of the electricity rate schedule resulting from the Tariff Structure Review, which was approved by means of ENRE Resolution No. 63/17 dated February 1, 2017 (Note 2.a).

Section 206 – Business Organizations Law

As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s losses consumed the reserves and more than 50% of share capital, rendering the Company subject to compliance with the mandatory share capital reduction set forth in section 206 of the Business Organizations Law. However, the issuance of ENRE Resolution No. 63/17, setting a new electricity rate schedule for the Company for the five-year period beginning February 1, 2017 and ending January 31, 2022, resulted, at the closing date of these condensed interim financial statements, in the Company’s being no longer subject to complying with the previously described mandatory reduction. Furthermore, the financial position will largely depend on the development of the exchange rate, the collection of the debts accrued from the Framework Agreement for the Supply of Electricity to Shantytowns, and the level of energy losses, in respect of which strong recovery actions will be taken during the year.

Consequently, the Shareholders’ Meeting has resolved not to carry out the above-mentioned share capital reduction, deferring the decision and instructing the Board of Directors to assess the financial position in the quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, and, should it be necessary, to call an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to deal with the issue (Note 31).

Nota 15 | Allocation of profits

Clause 7.4 of the Adjustment Agreement provided that during the Transition period the Company could not distribute dividends without the Regulatory Entity’s prior authorization. This transition period ended on January 31, 2017 with the implementation of the RTI, ENRE Resolution No. 63/17.

Therefore, in the Company’s opinion there exists no regulatory restriction on the distribution of dividends.

Nota 16 | The Company’s Share-based Compensation Plan

In the last months of fiscal year 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors proposed that the treasury shares be used for the implementation of a long-term incentive plan in favor of executive directors, managers or other personnel holding key executive positions in the Company in an employment relationship with the latter and those who in the future are invited to participate, under the terms of section 67 of Law No. 26,831 on Capital Markets. The plan was ratified and approved by the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 18, 2017 (Note 31).

20

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the Company awarded a total of 1,618,332 shares to executive directors and managers as additional remuneration for their performance in special processes developed during fiscal year 2016.

The fair value of the previously referred to shares at the award date, amounted to $ 42.3 million and has been recorded in the Salaries and social security taxes line item, with a contra account in Equity.

Regulatory framework – Bill on electricity dependent patients

On April 26, 2017, the Senate unanimously approved a bill originally drafted by the House of Representatives, whose purpose is to guarantee the permanent and free of charge supply of electricity to those individuals who qualify as dependent on power for reasons of health and require medical equipment necessary to avoid risks in their lives or health. The bill provides that the account holder of the service or someone who lives with him/her (a cohabitant) that is registered as “Electricity dependent for reasons of health” will be exempt from the payment of all and every connection fee and will benefit from a special free of charge tariff treatment in the electric power supply service under national jurisdiction, which consists in the recognition of the entire amount of the power bill. For such purpose, the bill provides that Federal Executive Power will make the necessary budget allocations. Additionally, the bill states that the distribution company will, upon request, provide the account holder of the service or a cohabitant that is registered as Electricity dependent for reasons of health with a power generator or the appropriate equipment free of charge, including the costs associated with the operation thereof, capable of providing the electric power necessary to satisfy the operation of the medical equipment. At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the bill has been neither passed nor rejected, in whole or in part, by the Federal Executive Power.
