Note 1 | General information

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (hereinafter “ edenor ” or “the Company”) is a corporation ( sociedad anónima ) organized under the laws of Argentina, with legal address at 6363 Av. Del Libertador Ave - City of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, whose shares are traded on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The corporate purpose of edenor 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 or through subsidiaries or related companies. In addition, the Company may act as trustee of trusts created under Argentine laws.

On December 28, 2020, Pampa Energía S.A., which was the parent company of edenor , entered into a share purchase and sale agreement, as the seller, with Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. The transaction was authorized by the ENRE on June 23, 2021. The transfer of all the Class A shares, representing 51% of the Company’s share capital and votes owned by Pampa Energía S.A., in favor of Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. was completed on June 30, 2021 (Note 33).

The Company’s economic and financial situation

The Company continues to record negative working capital, a situation which has been mainly exacerbated by the suspension of the electricity rate adjustment since February 2019 and the impossibility of collecting debts incurred by customers during the period of the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (“ASPO”), followed by the Preventive and Mandatory Social Distancing (“DISPO”).

In that regard, by means of Executive Order No. 311/2020, it was provided that for a term of one hundred and eighty days, the companies that provide the electricity distribution service would not be allowed to suspend the electricity supply in the event of delinquency in payment or non-payment of up to three consecutive or alternate bills due as from March 1, 2020

Additionally, by means of Resolution No. 173/2020, the Ministry of Productive Development set up a Coordination Unit, which is in charge of preparing the report that will detail and identify the Users benefited from the DNU mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The aforementioned Resolution instructed electricity distribution companies to provide the Users to be identified in such report with payment plans consisting of thirty equal and consecutive monthly installments, with the first of them beginning with the first bill to be issued by distribution companies as from September 30, 2020.

Furthermore, edenor was instructed to inform the Regulatory Agencies (or provincial authorities, as the case may be) and CAMMESA, on a monthly basis, of the electricity amounts billed subject to the conditions and/or payment modalities actually offered to its users, so that CAMMESA, with prior instruction from the Energy Secretariat, would replicate the same conditions in order for electricity distribution companies to purchase the same volume in the MEM.

Additionally, ENRE Resolution No. 107/2021 approved a 9% partial adjustment of electricity rates (Note 2), which is still insufficient to cover the Company’s economic and financial needs in a context of growing inflation, with the rate surpassing 54%. Nevertheless, and in spite of the aforementioned context with constant increases in operating costs, the investments necessary, both for the operation of the network and for maintaining and even improving the quality of the service, have been made.

Although in the current year the economic activity has shown a slight recovery after the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic measures implemented by the Argentine Government in the last few months, aimed at expanding the monetary base, along with the increase in the rate of inflation and the widening of the gap between the official dollar exchange rate and the dollar exchange rate quoted in the informal market, make it difficult to envisage a sustained recovery of the economy in the short term.

This complex and vulnerable economic context is aggravated by the currency restrictions imposed by the BCRA pursuant to which the BCRA’s prior authorization is required for certain transactions, such as the Company’s transactions associated with the payment of imports of goods that are necessary for the provision of the service, and the payments to service the financial debt. These currency restrictions, or those to be implemented in the future, could affect the Company’s ability to access the MULC in order to acquire the foreign currency necessary to face its operating and financial obligations.

As a consequence of the described context, the Company witnessed an even greater deterioration of the economic and financial equation due to the rate freeze, the impossibility of demanding payment of debts for electricity consumed but not paid through legal proceedings, and the impact of the increase in costs on the Company’s operating structure and supplies. Therefore, it became necessary to partially postpone payments to CAMMESA for energy purchased in the MEM as from the maturities taking place in March 2020; payment obligations which have been partially regularized, but as of September 30, 2021 accumulate a past due principal balance of $ 21,461, plus interest and charges for $ 11,890.

Despite the previously detailed situation, it is worth pointing out that, in general terms, the quality of the electricity distribution service has been significantly improved, both in duration and frequency of power cuts. In view of the continuous increase of the costs associated with the provision of the service, as well as the need for additional investments to meet the demand, the Company, as previously mentioned, is analyzing different measures aimed at mitigating the negative effects of this situation on its financial structure, minimizing the impact on the sources of employment, the execution of the investment plan, and the carrying out of the essential operation, maintenance and improvement-related works that are necessary to maintain the provision of the public service, object of the concession, in a satisfactory manner in terms of quality and safety.

Taking into consideration that the realization of the measures necessary to reverse the manifested negative trend depends on the occurrence of certain events that are not under the Company’s control, the Board of Directors has raised substantial doubt about edenor ’s ability to continue as a going concern, which may result in the Company’s being obliged to defer certain payment obligations or unable to meet expectations for salary increases or the increases recorded in third-party costs.

Nevertheless, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern and do not include the adjustments or reclassifications that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 | Regulatory framework

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, there exist the following changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company in the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020:

a) Electricity rate situation

On March 5, 2021, by means of Resolution No. 53/2021, the ENRE called a Public Hearing to make known and listen to opinions on the distribution companies’ Transitional Tariff System mentioned in Note 2.b) to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, with such Public Hearing being held in the framework of the Tariff Structure Review (RTI) Process and prior to defining the electricity rates to be applied by the referred to concession holders. On March 30, edenor made a presentation at the Public Hearing to discuss the transitional tariff adjustment of the Distribution, including revenue requirements and a new tariff structure proposal to cover the public service expenses and investment needs.

Furthermore, on March 31, 2021, by means of Resolution No. 78/2021, the ENRE approved the values of the Company’s electricity rate schedule, effective from the billing relating to the reading of meters subsequent to 12:00 AM on April 1, 2021, based on the MEM’s winter seasonal programming. It must be pointed out that such rate increase affected only GUDI customers and reflected the increase of the seasonal price passed through to rates without affecting revenues from the Company’s Own Distribution Costs.

Moreover, on April 30, 2021, by means of Resolution No. 107/2021, and in the framework of the transitional tariff system, the ENRE authorized the application of a new electricity rate schedule, effective as from May 1, 2021, with a 9% increase. In view of the fact that such increase does not cover the increase requested by edenor , on June 15, 2021, an administrative appeal ( recurso de alzada ) was filed against such Resolution.

On May 11, 2021, by means of SE Resolution No. 408/2021, the Definitive Winter Seasonal Programming for the MEM submitted by CAMMESA, relating to the May 1-October 31, 2021 period, was approved.

On August 10, 2021, by means of Resolutions Nos. 262 and 265/2021, the ENRE approved an increase for large users whose power consumption is equal to or greater than 300 kW, effective from the billing relating to the reading of meters subsequent to 12:00 AM on August 1, 2021. Both resolutions were appealed to the Energy Secretariat by edenor because the values of the electricity rate schedule in effect provided for by the ENRE did not take into consideration the ex-post adjustments, the recognition of taxes and fees, the pass-through differences arising from non-transferred increases in the seasonal price, or the pending adjustments of the Company’s Own Distribution Cost (CPD). Moreover, neither the transitional system to supplement the required revenue, as provided for by Executive Order No. 1020/2021, nor the differences resulting from a lower than expected demand, requested by edenor, have been established. Both appeals are in process at the closing date of these financial statements.

Furthermore, ENRE Resolution No. 323/2021 dated September 27, 2021, set the definitive annual control fee for 2021 that is to be paid by the MEM’s generation, transmission and distribution agents, and provided that final payment thereof would become due during the month of October 2021.

b) Supplementary resolutions

  1. Suspension of issuance of Debit Notes and Supplementary Statements: on February 18, 2021, by means of ENRE Resolution No. 37/2021, the Company was instructed both to suspend, on an immediate and temporary basis, the issuance of Debit Notes and Supplementary Statements (bills) in the terms of section 5 sub-section d) captions I, II and III of the Electric Power Supply Regulations (i.e. those issued when energy values have not been recorded or have been under-measured; those issued when events suggesting metering irregularities or the appropriation of energy by the user prove to be true; or those issued when direct connections are verified), and to refrain from suspending electricity supplies due to non-payment of the amounts arising from the recovery sought on the basis of such regulation, regardless of whether the users have made the pertinent claim, until the ENRE issues the regulations. Furthermore, the Company is instructed to submit a report on the number of bills for Non-recorded or under or over-recorded consumption, issued from March 1, 2020.

  2. System for the issuance of statements: on March 9, 2021, by means of ENRE Resolution No. 58/2021, distribution companies were instructed to issue the electric power public service statements (bills) solely with the amounts relating to the consumption of the billing period and to inform of the debts that have originated in or increased during the periods of the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (“ASPO”) and the Preventive and Mandatory Social Distancing (“DISPO”) health measures. The Company has begun to implement the aforementioned resolution as from September 2021.

  3. Reopening of Commercial Offices: by means of Notes NO-2021-84330919-APN-ENRE#MEC and NO-2021-84786820-APN-ENRE#MEC notified on September 9, 2021, the ENRE instructed the Company to reopen the commercial offices after having been closed as per the ENRE’s instruction in the framework of the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (“ASPO”) and the Preventive and Mandatory Social Distancing (“DISPO”) provided for by the Federal Government.

  4. Electric Service Statement – Service Disconnection and/or Cancellation of the registered user’s name: the ENRE issued the procedure for how the Company must demand payment of a debt at the time of disconnecting the service or cancelling the registered user’s name. The procedure was notified to the Company on September 13, 2021 by means of Note NO-2021-82569889-APN-ENRE#MEC. Against such procedure, the Company has filed an appeal to the ENRE, which is currently in process.

c) Framework Agreement

As of September 30, 2021, and by virtue of the Agreement described in Note 2.f) to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, the Company received a first disbursement for $ 1,500, which, as indicated in the aforementioned agreement, will be specifically used for complying with the Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Work Plan for the Electricity Distribution Network. The Company may use the above-mentioned funds only after the ENRE has certified compliance with both the degree of completion of the works included in the referred to plan and the related financial milestones.

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the Company has used a total of $ 1,347.1 (which at the purchasing power of the currency at September 30, 2021 amounts to $ 1,455), relating to the reports on progress of the works performed.

On October 15, 2021, the ENRE instructed the Company to return $76.4 million due to an excess of amounts approved, which was complied with by the Company under protest and with reservation of rights on October 18, 2021

d) Agreement on the Regularization of Obligations

On May 10, 2019, edenor , Edesur S.A. and the National Energy Secretariat entered into the Agreement on the Regularization of Obligations for the Transfer of Concession Holders to the Local Jurisdictions, whereby, prior to the transfer of the respective concessions to the jurisdictions of the PBA and the CABA, respectively, (i) the existing debts and credits are mutually offset; (ii) a term and modality of payment of the fines payable to users and the Government are agreed-upon, in three and five years, respectively; (iii) settlement of the fines payable to the Government is allowed to be made through investments in specific works to improve the service; and (iv) it is agreed that any legal actions against the Federal Government for damages caused by the freeze on rates since 2017 will be abandoned.

On January 19, 2021, the Federal Government, the PBA and the CABA entered into a new Agreement according to which the Federal Government retains the capacity as grantor of the concession in connection with the concession agreements (Executive Order No. 292/2021 and SE Resolution No. 16/2021 ).

On September 21, 2021, the National Ministry of Economy issued ME Resolution No. 590/2021 declaring the Agreement contrary to the public interest, thus paving the way for the filing of a legal action to declare it null and void. It also provided for the suspension of the administrative procedures relating to the fulfilment of the obligations arising from such Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, at the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not been served notice of the filing of any legal action in order for the Agreement or the acts resulting therefrom to be declared null and void. The administrative act in question has not provided for the suspension of the legal effects of said Agreement, which is, therefore, in full force and effect. Against this resolution the Company has filed an appeal ( recurso jerárquico ) to the Office of the Head of the Cabinet of Ministers (higher administrative authority) and a motion for clarification with the Ministry of Economy, which was granted and answered by ME Resolution No. 656/2021, notified on October 20, 2021, whereby said Ministry confirms that such Agreement has not been suspended.

Note 3 | Basis of preparation

These condensed interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021:

i) have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, incorporated by the CNV;

ii) have not been audited; they have been reviewed by the Independent Accountant in accordance with ISRE 2410, whose scope is substantially less than that of an audit performed in accordance with applicable auditing standards. The Company’s Management estimates that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of operations for each period. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 and its comparative period as of September 30, 2020 do not necessarily reflect the Company’s results in proportion to the full fiscal year. They were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 10, 2021;

iii) are measured in pesos (the legal currency in Argentina) restated in accordance with that mentioned in this Note, which is also the presentation currency;

iv) must be read together with the audited Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 prepared under IFRS.

Comparative information

The balances as of December 31 and September 30, 2020, as the case may be, disclosed in these condensed interim financial statements for comparative purposes, arise as a result of restating the annual Financial Statements and the Condensed Interim Financial Statements as of those dates, respectively, to the purchasing power of the currency at September 30, 2021, as a consequence of the restatement of the financial information described hereunder. Furthermore, certain amounts of the financial statements presented in comparative form have been reclassified in order to maintain consistency of presentation with the amounts of the current periods (Note 4).

Restatement of financial information

The condensed interim financial statements, including the figures relating to the previous year/period, have been stated in terms of the measuring unit current at September 30, 2021, in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, using the indexes published by the FACPCE. The inflation rate applied for the period between January 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021, was 37%.

Note 4 | Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted for these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the Financial Statements for the last financial year, which ended on December 31, 2020.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB in the last few years that are effective as of September 30, 2021 and have been adopted by the Company:

  • Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Presentation”, IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, IFRS 4 “Insurance contracts” and IFRS 16 “Leases” (amended in August 2020).

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”, in connection with rent concessions in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic (amended in April 2021).

There are no new IFRS or IFRIC applicable as from this period that have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

Note 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 number 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.

Additionally, the difficulty in obtaining financing in international or national markets could affect some of the Company’s business variables, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and the access to sources of financing.

With regard to the Company’s risk management policies, there have been no significant changes since the last fiscal year end.

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).

Total liabilities - 1 1

iii. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value or cash flows of an instrument due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is mainly related to its long-term debt obligations.

Indebtedness at floating rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on its cash flows. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 all the loans were obtained at fixed interest rates. The Company’s policy is to keep the largest percentage of its indebtedness in instruments that accrue interest at fixed rates.

Note 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 judgment 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.

In the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements, there were no changes in either the critical judgments made by the Company when applying its accounting policies or the sources of estimation uncertainty used with respect to those applied in the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 7 | Contingencies and lawsuits

As of September 30, 2021, the provision for contingencies has been recorded to face situations existing at the end of each period that may result in a loss for the Company if one or more future events occurred or failed to occur.

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, there are no significant changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company in the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, except for the following.

- Federal Administration of Public Revenues (“AFIP”) – Difference in contribution rate to the Single Social Security System (“SUSS”) (executive order 814/2001) for fiscal periods 12/2011 to 11/2019

On July 6, 2021, the Company filed an appeal to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals against AFIP Resolution No. 1740/2021 that dismissed the presentation made by edenor in relation to the assessment of a debt in connection with contributions to Argentina’s Integrated Social Security System, relating to the January 2017-June 2019 period, for differences detected due to the use of the rate set forth in Section 2 Sub-section B) 2001 (17%), when the applicable rate, according to the AFIP, is that mentioned in Section 2 Sub-section A) (21%), of Executive Order No. 814.

Additionally, on April 8, 2021, the Company was notified by the AFIP of a new resolution pursuant to which a debt had been assessed for the same concept, relating to the July 2019-November 2019 period. The resolution was challenged by the Company on September 23, 2021.

This new notification, in addition to the one received on July 12, 2018 relating to the December 2011-December 2016 period, is still at administrative stage.

The Company’s Management believes that the application of the 17% rate is correct. In this regard, in accordance with the analysis performed, it is reasonable that “minority government-owned corporations ( sociedades anónimas con simple participación estatal ) governed by Law No. 19,550” be understood to mean all those corporations ( sociedades anónimas ) in which the government has a minority stake, whatever the reason why such stake has been acquired. Therefore, included therein are the shareholdings that the National Social Security Administration (“ANSES”) has in certain corporations, among which the Company is included.

The Company filed appeals to the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals, on July 6, 2021 and September 13, 2021, against the first two resolutions, relating to the 01/2017-06/2019 and 11/2011-12/2016 periods, respectively, as the administrative remedies available in relation thereto have been exhausted.

Under such conditions and in connection with the aforementioned AFIP’s assessment, in the Company’s opinion and that of its legal advisors, there exist sufficient and solid arguments to make its position prevail at the judicial stage. Consequently, no liabilities whatsoever have been recorded by the Company for this matter as of September 30, 2021.

- National Regulatory Authority for the Distribution of Electricity, Proceeding for the Determination of a Claim” (case file No. 16/2020)

On May 4, 2021, the Company was served notice of a complaint filed by the ENRE in connection with edenor ‘s compliance with captions 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 of the “Agreement on the Renegotiation of the Concession Agreement” for differences arising from the date of payment of certain penalties included therein.

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, the Company has answered the complaint, with the case being currently in process.

The Company believes that it has sufficient authority under the Agreement on the Renegotiation of the Concession Agreement to support the payment made under such conditions and considers it to be in compliance with the law, to have an extinguishing effect and to have implied no damage to the users. In this regard, the Company and its legal advisors believe that there exist sufficient and solid arguments to make its position prevail at the judicial stage; therefore, no liabilities whatsoever for this concept have been recorded as of September 30, 2021.

Note 8 | Revenue from sales and energy purchases

We provide below a brief description of the main services provided by the Company:

Sales of electricity

Small demand segment: Residential use and public lighting (T1) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is less than 10 kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into different residential categories based on consumption. This segment also includes a category for public lighting. Users are categorized by the Company according to their consumption.
Medium demand segment: Commercial and industrial customers (T2) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is equal to or greater than 10 Kilowatts but less than 50 Kilowatts. The Company agrees with the user the supply capacity.
Large demand segment (T3) Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is greater than 50 Kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into categories according to the supply voltage -low, medium or high-, from voltages of up to 1 Kilovolt to voltages greater than 66 Kilovolts.
Other: (Shantytowns/ Wheeling system) Revenue is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement has been formalized for the period in which the service was accrued. In the case of the service related to the Wheeling system, revenue is recognized when the Company allows third parties (generators and large users) to access to the available transmission capacity within its distribution system upon payment of a wheeling fee.

Other services

Right of use of poles Revenue is recognized to the extent that the rental value of the right of use of the poles used by the Company’s electricity network has been agreed upon for the benefit of third parties.
Connection and reconnection charges Relate to revenue accrued for the carrying out of the electricity supply connection of new customers or the reconnection of already existing users.

Energy purchases

Energy purchase The Company bills its users the cost of its purchases of energy, which includes charges for purchases of energy and power. The Company purchases electric power at seasonal prices approved by the ENRE. The price of the Company’s electric power reflects the costs of transmission and other regulatory charges.
Energy losses Energy losses are equivalent to the difference between energy purchased and energy sold. These losses can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses represent the energy lost during transmission and distribution within the network as a consequence of the natural heating of the conductors and transformers that carry electricity from power generation plants to users. Non-technical losses represent the remainder of the Company’s energy losses and are mainly due to the illegal use of its services or the theft of energy. Energy losses require that the Company purchase additional energy in order to meet the demand and its Concession Agreement allows it to recover from its users the cost of these purchases up to a loss factor specified in its concession for each rate category. The current loss factor recognized in the tariff by virtue of its concession amounts to approximately 9.1%.

(hereinafter “Edenor S.A.” or “the Company”) including the condensed interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2021, the related condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the nine and three months period ended September 30, 2021, the related condensed interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months period then ended and the complementary selected notes.

The balances and other information related to fiscal year 2020 and its interim periods, are an integral part of the financial statements mentioned above; therefore, they must be considered in connection with these financial statements.

Board of Directors’ responsibility

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements, under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE), as the applicable accounting framework and incorporated by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its standards, as they were approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and, therefore, it is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial information”.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity”, which was adopted as review standard in Argentina through Technical Pronouncement No. 33 of the FACPCE as was approved by International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists in making inquiries of Company staff responsible for the preparation of the information included in the condensed interim financial statements and the application of analytical procedures and other review procedures. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance of International Standards on Auditing, consequently, this review does not allow us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express any opinion on the financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Emphasis of matter paragraph

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw the attention to the situation explained in Note 1 in relation to the economic and financial situation of Edenor S.A. The Company’s current economic and financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
