Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. Financial Statements December 31, 2015 with Independent Auditor's Report on individual financial statements ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

Barueri - SP We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A. (“Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2015 and the related income statement, statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting practices and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of these financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting practices used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 1 Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A. as at December 31, 2015, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Other matters Statement of value added We have also audited the statement of value added (SVA) for the year ended December 31, 2015, prepared under the responsibility of Company management, the presentation of which is required by the Brazilian Corporation Law for publicly-held companies, and as supplementary information under IFRS, whereby SVA presentation is not required. This statement has been subjected to the same auditing procedures previously described and, in our opinion, is presented fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the overall financial statements. Prior years’ financial statements audited by other independent auditors The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, as originally prepared before the reclassifications described in Note 2.2, were audited by other independent auditors, who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on February 9, 2015. As part of our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, we have also audited the reclassifications described in Note 2.2, which have been made to restate the 2014 financial statements originally presented. In our opinion, these reclassifications are appropriate and have been made correctly. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any other procedures on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, therefore, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance on these overall financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 1. General information Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (“Company”) is a publicly held company, under private Law, directly controlled by AES Elpa S.A. and indirectly controlled by Brasiliana Participações S.A. (“Brasiliana Participações”). Brasiliana Participações is an indirect subsidiary of The AES Corporation (headquartered in the United States of America). The Company is authorized to operate as an electric power utility concessionaire, primarily in the distribution and sale of electric power in 24 cities in the metropolitan region of Greater São Paulo. Its activities are regulated and inspected by the Brazilian Power Regulatory Agency (ANEEL), which is associated with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). The Company’s headquarter is located at Brazil, Barueri Municipality, State of Sao Paulo at Avenue Dr. Marcos Penteado de Ulhôa Rodrigues, No. 939, stores 1 and 2 (ground floor) and the 1st to the 7th floor, Subdivision Sitio Tamboré, Tower II Condominium Castelo Branco Office Park, ZIP Code 06460-040. The Company, as mentioned in explanatory note 25, billed for electric energy distribution services 36,179 GWh and 37,827 GWh for the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, serving approximately 6.9 million and 6.7 million consumers for the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Concession Contract for Electric Power Distribution No. 162/1998, executed on June 15, 1998 (ANEEL resolution No. 72, of March 25, 1998), shall be effective for 30 years. According to the Concession Agreement, the Company is supposed to go through Tariff Reset processes every four years, first of which took place on July 4, 2003, and through Tariff Adjustment on an annual basis. The last Tariff Reset took place on July, 4 2015 (please refer to explanatory note 33.4(b.4)). Corporate reorganization On June 3, 2015, the Companhia Brasiliana and AES Tietê SA ("AES Tietê") published material fact informing the market the corporate reorganization ("Reorganization") involving the Companhia Brasiliana and AES Tietê and the companies directly or indirectly controlled by them. The proposal of reorganization was formalized by the Restructuring Agreement signed between AES Holdings Brasil Ltda. (“AES Holdings Brasil”) and BNDES Participações S.A. (“BNDESPAR”), and subsequently approved by ANEEL, as Authorizing Resolution N 5.433 as of August 25, 2015, and the Company's Board of Directors and AES Tiete, through corporate documents, besides to obtaining the consents from creditors. On October 26, 2015, the Shareholders' Meetings from all companies involved approved all the reorganization stages, subject to certain condition precedents that were met on December 28, 2015. Thus, for tax and corporate effects, on December 31, 2015, the corporate reorganization process involving the Company and companies directly and indirectly controlled by the Company was completed. 10 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The Reorganization took place by means of the partial spin-off of Companhia Brasiliana and merger of the spun-off portion into Companhia Brasiliana Participações S.A. (“Brasiliana Participações”). Companhia Brasiliana shall hold directly and exclusively the shareholding control of AES Tietê and Brasiliana Participações shall hold directly or indirectly the shareholding control of all other companies (Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo, AES Elpa S.A., AES Uruguaiana Empreendimentos S.A. and AES Serviços TC Ltda.). In a subsequent stage, AES Tietê was acquired by the Company, the latter being the remnant legal entity, which was renamed as AES Tietê Energia S.A. (“AES Tietê Energia”). AES Holdings Brasil and BNDESPAR was entered into a new Brasiliana Shareholders' Agreement, new controlling shareholder of AES Elpa and, indirectly, of the Company, which substantially reflects the terms and conditions of the previous shareholders' agreement of Brasiliana’s company before reorganization. Thus, the restructuring and the new shareholders' agreement has not implied on a change in the controlling shareholder of Brasiliana Participações and AES Tietê Energia, which continued being AES Holdings Brasil. After the restructuring, the equity interest held by AES Holdings Brasil and BNDESPAR in the total share capital of both companies, Brasiliana Participações and AEs Tietê Energia, remaining the same. Therefore, the corporate reorganization involved, exclusively for the Company, the replacement of its indirect controlling company, due to the transfer of shares of Companhia Brasiliana to Brasiliana Participações, not generating any impact on the presentation of these financial statements. 2.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The nature of the principal reclassifications is described below: (a) As the new Accounting Manual for the Electrical Sector - "MCSE", issued by the Brazilian Electrical Energy Agency - ANEEL, became effective on January 1, 2015, the Company's Management chose to make the presentation of the income statement in line with this guidance, since it understands that it more properly portrays its operations. The reclassifications made in order align the presentation criterion with the best practices of electrical sector companies were: (a.1) Financial indicators (DIC/FIC/DMIC/DICRI) classified as “Other Costs”, previously presented as "Financial expenses", in a total of R$18,245; (a.2) Electric Energy Services Inspection Charge – TFSEE - classified as “Deduction to gross revenue”, previously presented as "Operational costs", in a total of R$15,900. (b) The Company reviewed its accounting practices and concluded that the adjustment of the financial assets subject to indemnification from the concession, originally presented as "Financial Revenue", in the financial result, could be better classified in the operating revenue group, together with further revenues related to its business purpose, since it more properly reflects its business model of electrical energy distribution and provide a better presentation as for its equity status and its performance. This conclusion is supported by the fact that: (i) The return of the distribution business, over investment in infrastructure, is determined by the fair value of the infrastructure plus the "WACC” rate; (ii) Investing in infrastructure is the main activity of its business ands its management model is supported on controlling construction, maintenance and operation of such infrastructure; (iii) The tariff revenues represent both the intangible assets return and a part of the financial assets return, due to the fact that both accounting assets are part of the regulatory basis of compensation. And the tariff revenues are fully recorded as part of the "Net Operating Income"; (iv) Analyses are prepared by third party specialists seeking to calculate certain performance indicators, such as: Return on Net Equity, Return on Financial Assets, Return on Operating Assets, Debt Cost and Return on Total Assets, may have relevant distortions when computed based on the previously adopted accounting practice; 14 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (v) The new classification adopted is supported by paragraph 23 of OCPC 05 - Concession Agreement. The impact of this issue for the year ended December 31, 2014 is a reclassification of R$55,237 of interest income to operating income. 2.3 Functional currency, translation of balances and transactions in foreign currency (a) Functional and presentation currency The Financial statements were prepared and presented in Reais (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency and the same used in the presentation. The functional currency was determined in accordance with the main economic environment of the Company’s operation. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions, i.e. all those that are not carried out in the functional currency, are translated at the effective exchange rate on the date of each transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of the effective exchange rate at the Financial Statements’ date. 3. Accounting policies and estimates The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are stated below. Those policies were applied consistently in all years presented. 3.1 Financial assets – initial recognition and subsequent measurement Financial assets are any assets identified as: cash and cash equivalents, an equity instrument of another entity, including short-term investments, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; a contractual right to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity, or a contract that may be settled by the entity’s equity instruments under certain conditions. The Company's principal financial assets are described below. 15 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (a) Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments Include cash, bank accounts and short-term investments that are highly liquid and bear insignificant risk of change in their market value. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, since there was no material difference in relation to their market value. Investments which maturity term is set at three months or less on the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents. Those investments with maturities greater than three months on the date of acquisition are classified as short-term investments. Short-term investments are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value. Interest, monetary and variations are recognized in the income statement when incurred. The variations stemming from changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized in a specific equity account, as incurred. Any provisions for impairment are recorded in the income statement. Gains and losses recorded in equity are transferred to income statement for the year at the time these investments turn into cash or when there is evidence of loss on their realization. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no change in fair value. (b) Consumers, concessionaires and permittees and other accounts receivable The Company classifies consumers, concessionaires, permittees and other accounts receivable as “Loans and receivable” financial instruments. The receivables are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently adjusted through amortization of the principal, interest calculated based on the effective interest rate method (“amortized cost”). Receivables can be reduced by the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable from consumers, resellers, concessionaires and permittees include amounts billed and unbilled for electric energy distribution services, also including the use of the distribution system for free consumers as energy sold on the spot market Electric Energy Spot Market (CCEE). (c) Allowance for doubtful accounts - ADA The allowance for doubtful accounts (explanatory note 10) is constituted based on an estimate of probable losses that may be incurred in the collection of receivables and are stated netting the corresponding asset accounts to which they are related to (explanatory notes 5, 8 e 9). The criteria currently used by the Company to set up the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows: (i) Consumers Residential category: consumers with accounts overdue by more than 90 days; Commercial category: consumers with accounts overdue by more than 180 days; Industrial and rural category, public sector, public lighting public services and other, overdue for more than 360 days. 16 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (ii) Services rendered/agreements The services rendered are accrued based on credit overdue more than 360 days. The agreements concerning installment payment with consumers in default “Debt Confession Term - DCT” are fully accrued regardless of installments not matured, since at least one invoice is already classified as ADA and is reversed upon the occurrence of the following events: (i) proportionally to the amount received from each installment negotiated (ii) when the amount amortized exceeds 30% of the total negotiated debt and the consumer is compliant, including with other debts, and the total reversal of value still outstanding. The allowance for doubtful accounts also includes an individual analysis of accounts that management considers deemed hardly realizable. Account write-offs due to losses are made after all administrative collection actions and comply with the terms and amounts established by Law 9430/1996, with changes introduced by Article 8 of Law N 13,097/2015. Receipts of receivables related to accounts receivable already written-off as they met the loss criteria, are recorded under the “provision/reversal for allowance for doubtful accounts” – ADA heading. (d) Provision for impairment of financial assets Financial assets are analyzed on an quartelly basis to identify any changes that may indicate impairment. Assets are considered irrecoverable when there is evidence that one or more events occurred after their initial recognition, having impacted their estimated future cash flow on a significant or prolonged way. (e) Write-off on financial assets The Company writes their financial assets off upon expiration of the contractual rights on such assets’ cash flow, or when substantially all the risks and rewards underlying this financial asset are transferred to another entity. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, such financial and a liability is recognized for any amounts received in the transaction. (f) Concession contract (financial and intangible assets) Assets infrastructurerelating to the concession contract are separated between financial and intangible assets. Financial assets relating to concession (financial asset and intangible) are remunerated through the regulatory WACC (weighted average cost of capital), that consists of interest on investment made, which are included in the tariff charged to the Company’s consumers and received monthly. 17 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Assets classified as concession’s compensable financial assets represent the estimated portion of investment realized and will not be amortized until the end of the concession.The Company has an unconditional right to receive cash or other financial asset from the Granting Authority in compensation for the reversal of public sector infrastructure. Financial assets related to the concession agreement are classified as available for sale and for the years presented were adjusted to fair value in accordance with the regulatory base asset – RAB calculated at the new replacement value, criterion used by ANEEL to determine the tariff to be charged. Also pursuant to technical pronouncement CPC 38, the changes derived from changes in market conditions (interest rates variations) are recorded in the shareholders’ equity under other comprehensive income. Since there isn’t an active market for the trading of such financial asset, the Company determines its fair value by using the same components of the regulatory remuneration rate set forth by ANEEL (Regulatory WACC). In case of the Company observing a change in the regulatory WACC over the tariff-reset periods, that new interest rate is used by the Company to discount the estimated cash flows to present value. The Company understands that this methodology is which better reflects the fair value in the view of the market players, since the return rate set by ANEEL considers not only the free-risk rates, but also the other risks inherent to the electric energy industry. Hence, the adjustments derived from the changes to market WACC and the regulatory WACC are recognized under Shareholders’ Equity. On December 31, 2015 and 2014, there is no balance recorded under other comprehensive results as the Company concluded that on that date there was no difference between those rates. (g) Financial sector assets and liabilities On December 10, 2014 was signed the Third Amendment to the Concession Agreement, for which he was assured that any balance of an asset or financial liability sector at the end of the concession contract, will be compensated for or reimbursed by the Company. Recognition of financial sector assets and liabilities are Intended to neutralize the economic impacts of the Company, due to the difference between non-manageable items, called "Parcel A" or other financial components, and those effectively included in the tariff, every tariff adjustment / revision. These differences between the actual cost and the cost considered in the tariff adjustments generate a right as the cost performed is greater than that included in the tariff, or an obligation, when costs are lower than those included in the tariff. The differences are considered by ANEEL in the next tariff adjustment, and became part of the Company's tariff adjustment index. 18 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The balance comprises: (i) the previous cycle (in amortization), representing the balance approved by ANEEL already included in the tariff and (ii) the cycle in constitution, which are the differences that will be approved by ANEEL in the next tariff adjustment. The balance of cycles can be seen in Note No. 34. On December 9, 2014 by CVM Resolution no. 732, the Accounting Pronouncements Committee - CPC approved the Technical Guidance OCPC 08, becoming mandatory prospective recognition of certain financial sector assets or liabilities by electricity distributors. With addendum of the concession agreements, the CPC considers there is no significant uncertainty that is an impediment to the recognition of sectoral financial assets and liabilities as amounts actually receivable or payable. Thus, the Company recognized from December 10, 2014 the financial sector assets and liabilities in its statutory financial statements. 3.2 Inventories Inventories are valued at average cost of acquisition or production. The provisions for obsolete items are set up when considered necessary by management. Inventories are intended for own consumption and distribution system maintenance. The materials intended for construction of the Company’s infrastructurerelated to concession are classified as construction in progress. 3.3 Intangible Assets classified as intangible assets represent the Company’s right to charge consumers for the use of the public service infrastructure during the contract concession period. Intangible assets are recognized at fair value on the acquisition or construction date and include capitalized financing costs. After initial recognition, intangible assets are amortized by the straight line method over the period corresponding to the right to charge consumers for use of concession assets that these generated (useful regulatory lives of assets) or by the concession contract period, whichever is shorter. The Company aggregates, on a monthly basis, interest incurred on loans, financing and debentures to the infrastructure construction costs recorded in intangible assets in progress, considering the following capitalization criteria: (a) interest is capitalized during progress of construction infrastructure; (b) interest is capitalized considering the average weighted cost of loans effective on the capitalization date; (c) total interest capitalized on a monthly basis does not exceed the total value of monthly interest expenses; and (d) capitalized interest is amortized considering the same criteria and useful lives determined for intangible assets in which they were incorporated. Capitalized interests for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are presented in Note 29. 19 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 3.4 Property, plant and equipment – financial leasing Leased items whose control, risks and benefits are substantially exercised by the Company (financial leasing) are recorded as a Company’s PP&E against current or non-current liability, as the case maybe. Assets recorded under PP&E are depreciated or amortized according to the shorter of their estimated economic useful lives or over the expected lease agreement effective term, whichever is shorter. Income from the disposal of an asset is determined by the difference between the sales value and the book value, net of the respective accumulated depreciation, and is recognized in the income statement for the year. 3.5 Provision for impairment of non-current or long term assets (non-financial assets) Management reviews at least on a quarterly basis the net book value of long term assets with a view to determining whether there are any events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that may indicate impairment loss. If there is any indicator of loss, the Company proceeds with the calculation of impairment. The Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for which impairment tests are required on an annual basis. The recoverable assets are defined as the greater value between the value in use and the net sales value. In order to measure the recoverable amount of the asset through its value in use, the Company uses the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows (cash-generating unit). The Company’s management considered integrated distribution network as a single cash generating unit. An impairment loss shall be recognized in the income statement in the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the asset 3.6 Provisions for legal proceedings and others The Company is party to various judicial and administrative proceedings. Provisions are set up for lawsuits for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the cash disbursement can be made. Assessment of the chances of an unfavorable outcome by the Company’s legal advisors includes evaluation of available evidence, the hierarchy of the laws, case law available, the most recent court decisions and their significance in the legal system, as well as the assessment made by external legal advisors. The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in the circumstances, such as the applicable statutes of limitation, additional exposures identified based on new issues and court decisions. 20 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Financial liabilities – initial recognition and subsequent measurement 3.7 As described in Note 33.2, the Company classifies suppliers, loans and financing, government subsidies, tariff and consumer charges payable, and dividends and interest on capital payable as financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are recognized and measured at amortized cost. Settlement of financial liabilities The Company settles financial liabilities only when the obligations are extinguished, i.e. when settled, cancelled by the lender or time-barred by statute in accordance with contractual provisions or legislation in force. Financial instruments – presentation at net amount Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet if and only if there is a current legal and enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is the intention to offset, or concomitantly realize the asset and settle the liability. 3.8 Embedded derivatives Embedded derivatives in other financial instruments or agreements, when applicable, are treated as separate derivatives when their risk and characteristics are not close related to the main agreements and when these agreements are not measured at fair value through statement of income. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not identify any embedded derivatives in its contracts. 3.9 Taxes on sales Sales revenue is subject to the following taxes and contributions at the following statutory rates: Contribution for Social Integration Program (PIS) – 1.65% on sale of electric energy and revenue of services rendered; Contribution for Social Security Financing (COFINS) 7.60% on sale of electric energy and revenue of services rendered; State VAT (ICMS) – is applied in accordance with the consumers’ class. The main classes are taxed at the following rates: 18% for commercial and industrial classes; and tax exempt for the residential class with consumption up to 90kv, 12% for consumption between 91kv and 200kv and 25% for consumption above 201kv. Service Tax – From 2% to 5% levied on the revenue of services rendered where the tax is due on the property provider. Where tax is payable at the place 21 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) of execution, shall be applied to the corresponding rate in the respective municipality. The taxes reduce sales revenues, which are stated in the statements of income at their net value. The credits generated from PIS and COFINS non cumulative taxes over the operating expenses and costs are presented as reduction of these groups in the financial statements. 3.10 Current and deferred income tax and social contribution (a) Current income tax and social contribution Income tax comprises income tax and social contribution. The current income and social contribution expense is calculated in accordance with tax law in force. Income tax is calculated on taxable income at the rate of 15%, plus a surtax of 10% on taxable income exceeding R$240 a year for the computation of tax, while social contribution is calculated at 9% of taxable income, both recognized on an accrual basis. Tax prepayments or recoverable taxes are stated in current and noncurrent assets, based on forecast of their realization. Tax prepayments or recoverable taxes are stated in current and noncurrent assets, based on forecast of their realization, until the end of the year, when the income tax due is dully calculated and offset with the tax prepayments. Management periodically reviews the tax position of cases for which ruling tax legislation requires interpretation and sets up provisions as appropriate. (b) Deferred income tax and social contribution Deferred taxes are generated by temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary tax differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, credits and tax losses not used, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available for the temporary differences to be realized, and unused tax credits and losses to be utilized. The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date, or in shorter periods where material facts requiring review take place. Reduced at the extent that it is no longer probable that taxable profit will be generated to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Should estimated future taxable profits indicate that deferred taxes recoverable will not be recovered by due date and pursuant to the latest term of the concession. This analysis is grounded on expected future taxable profit determined through a technical analysis approved by the Company’s Management. To the extent that it becomes probable that there will be sufficient future taxable income, the Company recognizes an addition to the deferred tax in proportion to such profits. 22 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate determined by tax legislation in effect at the balance sheet date and that is expected to be applicable at the date of realization of the assets or settlement of the liabilities which generated the deferred taxes. Deferred taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are also recognized in equity. Deferred tax items are recognized in accordance with the transaction that generated the deferred tax, either in the income statement or in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net only if the deferred taxes are related to the same taxpayer and subject to the same tax authority, and when there is a legal or constructive right ensuring the offset of current tax assets against current tax liabilities. 3.11 Employees benefits The Company sponsors a retirement and pension plan for its active and former employees, and their beneficiaries, for the purpose of complementary the retirement and pension benefits provided by the government. The pension plan is a defined benefit type plan. The cost of the benefit plan is determined by the Projected Unit Credit Method, net of assets guaranteeing the plan assets. The actuarial valuation is based on assumptions (of interest rates, inflation, benefit increases, life expectancy, etc), the actuarial valuation and respective assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis at the end of each year, or in shorter periods where material facts that require new actuarial assessment take place. Asset or liability related to defined benefit plans recognized in the financial statements represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based on Federal Government long-term securities), less the fair value of plan assets. The plan assets are held by a closed supplementary pension entity (FUNCESP). Plan assets are not available to creditors of the Company and may not be paid directly to the Company. The fair value is based on information on market price and in the case of listed securities, on the published purchase price. The value of any defined benefit asset recognized is limited to the sum of any past service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of reductions in future contributions to the plan by the sponsoring employer. 3.12 Other current and non-current assets and liabilities Other assets are stated at their acquisition or realization value, when the second is lower, and other liabilities are stated at known or determinable amounts including, when applicable, accrued charges and monetary variation incurred. 23 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 3.13 Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities An asset or liability should be recorded as current if it is expected to be settled within the 12 month period following the financial statements base date, otherwise these are recorded as non-current. 3.14 Present value adjustment of assets and liabilities Non-current and current monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the overall financial statements. The implied interest rates applied were based on assumptions and are considered accounting estimates. At the dates of the financial statements, the Company had no significant balances resulting from present value adjustments of assets or liabilities. 3.15 Distribution of dividends Approved dividends payable or grounded on statutory obligations are recorded in current liabilities. The Company’s articles of incorporation establish the distribution of mandatory minimum dividends corresponding to 25% of adjusted net income. Also, in accordance with the articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors shall resolve on the payment of interest on shareholder’s equity and interim dividends. In determining the adjusted net income for distribution of dividends, the realization of equity valuation adjustment relating to the revaluation reserve recognized in prior years to the transition date is considered. Accordingly, the increase in amortization and write off expenses, in connection with the recording of revaluation recognized in prior years, has a null effect on the calculation of Company’s dividends. As such, at year end and after appropriate legal allocations, the Company records under current liabilities, the equivalent amount to the minimum mandatory dividend not yet distributed during the year, whilst recording proposed dividends in excess to the minimum mandatory amount as “additional proposed dividend” in equity. The Company can pay interest on shareholder’s equity pursuant to article 9, paragraph 7 of Law No.9249, dated December 26, 1995, which is deductible for tax purposes. The dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity not claimed for three years are reversed to the Company’s equity under the account “retained earnings and losses” for new distribution, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law. 24 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 3.16 Share-based payments The AES Corporation maintains a compensation plan to its own employees and for its direct and indirect subsidiaries, concerning the grant of equity instruments, which occurs when certain pre-established conditions are met. The stock or stock options granted by AES Corporation are recorded in the Company at fair value of the equity instrument, on its granting date. The cost of equity instrument grant transactions is recognized in the income statement for the year, matched against a capital reserve in equity under a specific account that indicates the future commitment of the Company's parent to contribute the funds needed to support the granting of shares and stock options of AES Corp. acquired by the employees of the Company. Also in accordance with CPC 10 (R1), the established capital reserve may be utilized to increase the Company’s capital in favor of The AES Corporation. 3.17 Revenue recognition Sales revenue includes only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the Company. Amounts charged on account of third parties - such as sales taxes - are not economic benefits of the Company, and are therefore not presented in the statements of income. Revenue is not recognized if there is significant uncertainty as to its realization. (a) Revenues from electricity supply Electric energy distribution services are measured through the delivery of electric energy over a set period. This measurement occurs in accordance with a meter reading schedule established by the Company. The billing for electric energy distribution services is, therefore, based on this meter reading schedule. Service revenues are recorded as energy bills are issued. In order to adapt meter readings to the accrual period the services rendered between the date of the meter reading and month end are recorded through estimates. b) Interest income Interest income is recognized based on the period of time and effective interest rate on the outstanding principal amount. The effective interest rate is that from which is discounted the estimated future cash flow receipts during the useful life of a financial asset in relation to the initial net book value of that asset. 25 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (c) Construction contracts Entities included within the scope of ICPC 01 (IFRIC 12) Service Concession Arrangements should record the construction of or improvements to the infrastructure of a concession in accordance with CPC 17 (IAS11) Construction Contracts. The costs of infrastructure construction performed by the Company can be reliably measured. However, revenue and expenses corresponding to these construction services are recognized based on the proportion of work completed up to the balance sheet date. Expected losses in construction contracts are immediately recognized as expenses. Considering the regulatory model in force which does not establish specific remuneration for the construction of or improvement to concession infrastructure are substantially performed through specialist outsourced services, and that all construction revenue is related to the construction of infrastructure for services of electricity distribution, company’s management decided to record revenue from construction contracts with a zero profit margin. 3.18 Lease agreements As described in note 3.4, assets related to lease agreements where risks and benefits are substantially carried by the Company (financial lease agreements) are recorded under the Company’s property, plant and equipment matched against a current or non-current liabilities accounts, on a case by case basis. Interests on capital leasing are allocated to statements of income in accordance with the duration of the agreement by the effective interest rate method. In lease agreements classified as "operating lease" payments are recognized as expenses in the statement of income on a straight line method over the term of the lease. 3.19 Earnings per share The Company calculates earnings per share using the weighted average number of outstanding common and preferred shares during the period corresponding to the result, in accordance with accounting pronouncement CPC 41 (IAS 33) - Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of outstanding shares. The Company’s articles of incorporation assign different rights on the dividend to preferred shares and common shares. As a consequence, base earnings and diluted earnings per share are calculated by the “two classes” method. The “two classes” method of an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per preferred share and per common share in accordance with the declared dividends and rights to share-in undistributed profits. 26 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 3.20 Segment information Operating segments are defined as business activities which can generate revenues and incur expenses, the operating results of which are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operations officer for decision-making about funds to be allocated to the segment and for assessing its performance. All decisions made by the Company are based on consolidated reports, the services are provided using an integrated energy distribution network, and operations are managed on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it has only one reportable segment, that of the distribution of electric energy. 3.21 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions For the preparation of the financial statements, the Company uses judgment and estimates, based on available information, as well as adopts assumptions, which affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Whenever necessary, the judgment and estimates are supported by opinions prepared by specialists. The Company adopts assumptions derived from its experience and other factors considered reasonable and significant under the circumstances. The assumptions adopted by the Company are periodically reviewed in the ordinary course of business. However, it is important to note that there are some uncertainty relating to the estimations and assumptions used by the Company, which can lead to a significant adjustment to the book value of the asset or liability in future periods as soon as new information becomes available. An event that requires a change in estimate is treated prospectively. The main assumptions and estimative used in the preparation of financial statements are discussed below: (a) Retirement and other post employment benefits The Company has defined benefit plan and also defined contribution plan. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company has no legal or constructive obligation to make further payments if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all the benefits. The contributions are recognized as expenses benefits to emplouees when incurred. In relation to the defined benefit plan, the Company assesses its liabilities with supplementary retirement benefits by assessing actuarial rates on an annual basis and, when necessary, in interim periods, with the help of consultants specializing in actuarial services. The actuarial valuation involves the use of assumptions on rates of discount, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, rates of mortality and future increases of retirement and pension benefits. The defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed and updated on an annual basis, at the end of the year. 27 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The main assumptions used by the Company are described as follows: Discount rate According to Technical Pronouncement CPC 33(R1) – Employees Benefits, the rate used to discount employee benefits obligation must be determined with reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds. However, when there is no deep market in corporate bonds, it is required to use market yields on government bonds instead. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the rates of government treasury securities with a maturity matching the length of the defined benefit obligation. Mortality rate The mortality rate is based on mortality tables available in Brazil. FUNCESP tests, on an annual basis, the adequacy of mortality rate according to the most recent mortality of plan members. Salary Increase, benefits and Inflation Future increases in salaries and in retirement and pension benefits are based on future inflation rates expected for Brazil. As to the inflation rate used, the Company carried out a survey on the projection of long-term inflation with the economic departments of several financial institutions. Expected return rate on plan assets With the adoption of Technical Pronouncement CPC 33(R1) – Employees Benefits, the expected return rate on plan assets will be the discount rate used for discounting the obligation. (b) Amortization of intangible assets related to the concession Intangible assets are amortized by the straight line method over the period corresponding to the right to charge consumers for use of concession assets that these generated (useful regulatory lives of assets) or by the concession contract period whichever is shorter. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company used the useful lives as set forth in ANEEL Resolution 474 of February 07, 2012. (c) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment As described in Note 3.4, items recorded as PP&E are depreciated for the shorter of their estimated useful economic lives or the lease agreement term. 28 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (d) Provisions for legal proceedings and others According to Note 3.6, the Company recognizes a provision for legal proceedings and others based on the likelihood of loss assessment. Estimates and assumptions used to record provisions for the Company’s proceedings and others are reviewed on a quarterly basis. (e) Provision for impairment of non-current or long term assets The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis the existence of events or changes that may indicate impairment of its current or non-current assets at least on an annual basis (Note 3.5). The recoverable amount is the higher between fair value less costs of sales and value in use. The calculation of fair value less sales costs is based on sales transaction information available for similar assets or market prices less additional costs to dispose of the asset. The calculation of value in use is based on the discounted cash flow using the regulatory WACC. Cash flows derive from the short-term budget and the long-term projections, corresponding to concession period and do not include restructuring activities where the Company is still not fully committed or significant future investments that will improve the asset base of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable value is sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow method, as well as to the expected future cash receipts and the extrapolated growth rate utilized. As of December 31, 2015, Management estimates that the carrying amount will be recovered throughout its future operations. (f) Taxes There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation of complex tax regulations. The Company sets up provisions based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits conducted by tax authorities of the jurisdictions where it operates, when, likelihood of loss is assessed as probable. The amount of these provisions is based on several factors such as experience in previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the tax authority in charge. Such differences of interpretation may arise in a wide variety of matters, depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective domicile of the Company. Significant judgment by management is required to determine the amount of recognizable deferred tax assets based on the probable term of realization and level of future taxable profits, along with future tax planning strategies. 29 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (g) Allowance for doubtful accounts The criteria relating to credit risk analysis to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts are described in Note 3.1 (c). (h) Financial assets relating to the concession As described in explanatory note 3.1 (f), financial assets relating to the concession represent the estimated portion of investment made in infrastructure and that will not be amortized until the end of the concession, thus not being recovered through tariff during the concession period. The value of this financial asset is calculated based on the asset base approved by ANEEL. It is important to point out that this is not a financial asset like the other comparable assets available in the market, but a derivative asset closely connected to the Company’s existing infrastructure, whose cash flow susceptible to the variations derived from changes in the regulatory environment and in the price of commodities related to that infrastructure. The Company’s tariff review occurs every four years, and only on that date the Regulatory Remuneration Basis is ratified by ANEEL by way of the depreciated VNR. Thus, in the period between the dates of tariff review, the Management adjusts the financial assets by using the criterion set forth by ANEEL for the adjustment of the Remuneration Basis between the review periods. The Company applied the IGP-M (Brazilian Market Price Index) up to November 2015 as the adjustment factor for the Compensation Basis fair value. In December 2015, based on item 8 and Sub-module 2.3 of PROET - Tariff Regulation Procedures, in effect as from November 23, 2015, the Company started applying the IPCA (Broad Consumer Price Index) as its adjustment factor. It should be pointed out that the criterion defined by ANEEL assigns value to the concessionaire’s infrastructure, fixed assets, and the value of the financial asset represents a portion of these fixed assets that is not likely to be depreciated/ amortized by the end of the concession period. Therefore, that financial asset is closely related to the infrastructure, which on the other hand has its evaluation criteria set forth by ANEEL. These criteria may be altered by ANEEL timely. (i) Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in over-the-counter markets is determined based on purchase prices quoted in the market at close of business on the balance sheet date, without deduction of transaction costs. The fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques may include the use of recent market transactions (at arm’s length); reference to current fair value of other similar instrument; analysis of discounted cash flows or other valuation models. An analysis of the fair value of financial instruments, and further details about their calculation are reported in note 33. 30 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (j) Unbilled revenue Unbilled revenue is recorded as described in Note 3.17 (a). (k) Transactions with share-based payments The Company measures the cost of transactions settled with shares involving employees based on the fair value of equity instruments at their granting date. The estimated fair value of share-based payments requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for granting equity instruments, which is contingent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the most appropriate data for the valuation model, including the option’s expected life, volatility and dividend income and related assumptions. 3.22 New pronouncements, interpretations and guidelines (i) Review of Technical Pronouncements No. 08/2015 - Approved on August 7, 2015 and published on November 5, 2015: Represents changes to the following technical pronouncements: CPC 01 (R1), CPC 04 (R1), CPC 06 (R1) CPC 18 (R2), CPC 19 (R2), CPC 20 (R1), CPC 21 (R1), CPC 22, CPC 26 (R1), CPC 27, CPC 28, CPC 29, CPC 31, CPC 33 (R1 ), CPC 36 (R3), CPC 37 (R1), CPC 40 (R1) and CPC 45.

(**) On August 6, 2015, the decision by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) was published referring to the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADINs) No. 4357 and No. 4425, which sought to challenge the Amendment No. 62 of 2009 whose purpose was to set forth the method of payment for the legal registered warrants issued until March 25, 2015. Among others, such decision established the following points: i) Ratification of all procedures and all operations previously performed to discharge the registered warrants, with no risk remaining to the creditors as for the eventual discussion on the validity of receipts occurred between 2009 and March 2015; ii) Definition of a term ascertained and determined to discharge the outstanding registered warrants until March 25, 2015 (until January 2020); iii) In the event of delay of the National Treasury in the transfer of the amounts required for the payment of the Registered Warrants, the Chairman of the respective Court of Appeals is compelled to perform the detention of the necessary money, under penalty of criminal liability. The Company's Management reassessed the credits arising from the legal registered warrants with the cities and concluded that the aforementioned decision ensures the performance of such credits and constituted an account receivable in the total amount of R$ 26,451, where R$ 6,654 refer to principal (explanatory note No. 10) and R$ 19,797 refer to interests and inflation adjustment (explanatory note No. 29) until December 31, 2015. In virtue of the uncertainty with the performance of registered warrants until the date of decision by STF, such credits had been written-off for loss.

Estimated recovery of tax credits was based on projections of taxable profits taking into consideration several financial and business assumptions at year end. As a result, these estimates may not materialize due to uncertainties inherent in such process and therefore, they are not to be relied upon in making any investment decision. The management understands that this estimate was consistent with its business plan at the time such technical study was conducted, and no losses on the realization of such credits are expected. No material adjustments arising thereof have been recorded when compared to previous years. 35 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Characteristics of Company’s concession agreement On June 15, 1998, the Company and ANEEL signed the concession agreement for the distribution of electric power No. 162/1998, which regulates conditions to the operation of electric power distribution public utilities, with the proper technology and methods that guarantee the rendering of services in the concession area as established by ANEEL Decree No. 72, dated March 25, 1998.

Upon this opportunity, the abandonment of the lawsuit was requested in order to enable the institution of the ILL (Tax on Net Income) debit in REFIS constituted in March 2000, which would correspond to the provision of R$ 25,444 in September 2015. Below is a summary of movements occurred with the accession: Assets Judicial deposits Provision ILL - Principal Provision ILL - Interest Refis (45% of interest) ILL payment (Survey escrow deposit - Union) ILL payment (Survey escrow deposit - Company) Total impact g) 25,444 (19,449) (5,995) - Liabilities 6,317 19,127 (5,995) (19,449) Financial Income 5,995 - - Environmental Proceedings: The environmental bodies of the state of São Paulo followed up the environmental management activities of some Company’s properties by means of proprietary administrative proceedings and based on technical studies lead the Company to record the amounts of demands that are possible to quantify. On December 31, 2015, these demands respond for the accrual of R$11,425 (R$12,708 on December 31, 2014). The Company's management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that the current processes will be completed by 2017. Among the cases accrued, we should point out the demands concerning soil and underground water contamination, as follow: 63 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) g.1) Cambuci Complex: Environmental studies were started in 2005 to assess soil and underground water quality. Subsequent to confirming contamination, studies were resumed and so was the remediation action. In 2012, after signed the commitment of sale of the property, with an obligation contract to deliver the area restored. In 2013, new studies were conducted considering the future use of the area, pointing out the necessary intervention actions for closing the remediation that was be concluded by 2015. In 2014, different remedy stages were performed, in addition to new monitoring campaigns in the area which allowed signing the deed of sale of property, definitely transferring the ownership and possession. Currently, the Company performs monitoring the groundwater quality requested by CETESB. g.2) Miguel Yunes: Environmental studies were started in 2009 for assessing the soil and underground water. After confirming contamination, studies were resumed for the purpose of identification, and buried domestic waste and rubble were found (clandestinely arranged prior to the grant date), requiring a breakdown of the studies with a view at quantification, which was conducted in December 2013, and confirmed the need for removing the buried waste. In February 2014 the Company proceeded with the removal and disposal of the soil impacted by the waste discarded in the area, being completed in the second quarter of 2015. The water and soil investigation was completed, leaving the underground water quality monitoring requested by CETESB. The area backfill will be required for leveling purposes, which shall be carried out in 2016. g.3) Distribution Transforming Stations - ETD´s: In 2007, the Company started processes for environmental compliance of works for upgrading and extending substations. These processes require an environmental survey of the soil and underwater conditions to be followed up by the State Secretariat of Environment – SMA pursuant to procedures set out by CETESB. During the survey activities, in some properties, polluting substances were found in the soil and underground water requiring the adoption of environmental remedy actions. In 2013 new proceedings were opened due to the need for extending substations, creating the need for remedying and/or monitoring. New monitoring steps will occur in 2016. g.4) Guarapiranga Reservoir On September 1996, the Public Prosecutor for the State of São Paulo (MP) brought a pubic civil action against the Company and the Associação Desportiva Cultural Eletropaulo seeking rehabilitation of supposed environmental damage that had been caused by the construction of a sports and recreational club on the banks of the Guarapiranga Reservoir. The action was upheld finding against the Defendant, severally, who is liable to undertake environmental rehabilitation, as well as the demolition of all construction in the area classified under the prime category, such as reforestation indicated in the technical study performed. On August 10, 2012 the merit decision was judged unfavorable to the Company. In January 2013, the proceedings returned to the lower court, where the General Attorneys’ Office requested that the decision be complied with. Subsequent to the court decision the Company clarified that it intended to serve the alternative sentence by means of donation to the State of São Paulo of a green area in a wellhead area. Likewise, it requested that EMAE, in its capacity as owner of 64 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) the real estate, be summoned to join the proceedings so that the portion of the court decision that ordered demolitions, regularizations and planting in the area occupied by the Eletropaulo’s Sports and Cultural Association would be complied with. The Secretariat of Environment (SMA) notified the court and the Company stating that it would not accept donation of green area in the surrounding fountainheads as offered by the Company, since it would result in the State to incur additional infrastructure installation and maintenance costs (“donation with charges for State”). Considering this, the Company initiated negotiations with the SMA in order to comply with the judgment by implementing an environmental project in the area. On December 31, 2015, the Company has an accrual for compliance with the estimable parts of this demand in a total of R$2,885. h) PIS/COFINS on financial revenue: The Company judicially discusses the effects of the Decree No. 8.426/2015, providing for the PIS/COFINS taxation on financial revenue as from July 1, 2015 and until the decision of merit on the action is rendered. While there is no decision authorizing the non-enforcement of new rules from the Decree, the Company is making judicial deposits in the amounts corresponding to the taxes levying upon the financial revenue. The Company recorded a provision that, adjusted until December 31, 2015, corresponds to R$ 20,231 and performed judicial deposits in the amount of R$ 23,119. With regard to the merits of the case, the Management, together with its legal advisors, rates it as possible. However, with regard to the cash disbursement, the Company estimates it’s likely that payments referring to this action may be made before the discussion of the merits. Thus, the Company made a provision for the said amount. The Company's Management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that such procedure shall be completed by 2023. 18.2 Proceedings with probability classified as possible Following is a summary of major contingent liabilities which likelihood of loss was classified by management as possible. The Company is involved in other suits for which the chances of loss assessed are possible, however they were not disclosed since the Company has set forth the amount of R$ 10,000 for the purpose of disclosing the provisions for the likeliness of possible loss. Assessment of this probability is based upon on reports prepared by the Company’s legal counsel. 65 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

(Governmentowned Eletropaulo) entered into a Loan Agreement ECF No. 1046/1986 with Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (Eletrobrás). Considering the questioning regarding the yearicity of monetary adjustment on the borrowed amount and the failure to reach an agreement with Eletrobrás, in December 1988, Government-owned Eletropaulo filed a proceeding for payment in court against Eletrobrás. In filing the aforementioned claim, government-owned Eletropaulo made an escrow deposit at the amount corresponding to the debt balance, i.e., principal plus annual monetary adjustment. After filing a defense against the proceeding for payment in court, in April 1989 Eletrobrás filed a suit for collection with the 5th Civil Court in the City of Rio de Janeiro (5th Civil Court), grounding its request for collection by alleging that the amounts deposited in connection with the proceeding for payment in court were not consistent with the terms of Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86, which provided for, based on Eletrobrás understanding, monetary adjustment on the principal on a monthly basis rather than annually as asserted by government-owned Eletropaulo. 66 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) In the course of both suits, a Spin-Off Protocol was executed on December 22, 1997, whereby government-owned Eletropaulo was spun-off in four companies: current Eletropaulo Metropolitana – Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (Company), Bandeirante Energia S.A. (Bandeirante), Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia S.A. (EMAE) and Empresa Paulista de Transmissão de Energia S.A. (EPTE), the latter company being thereafter merged into Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (CTEEP). In April 1999, the 5th Civil Court (lower court) handed down a decision in favor of Eletrobrás on both the suit for collection and the proceeding for payment in court. The Court acknowledged, in connection with the former suit, that the principal of the Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86 should be monetarily adjusted on a monthly basis and, in connection with the second suit, that the amount deposited by government-owned Eletropaulo was not consistent with the terms of the aforementioned Loan Agreement. In September 2001, Eletrobrás initiated execution proceedings also with the 5th Civil Court, and, based on its interpretation on the terms of the Protocol for the Spin-off of government-owned Eletropaulo, demanded from Eletropaulo Metropolitana and from CTEEP the payment of proportional amounts recognized by these companies as liabilities, (90.11%) and (9.89%) respectively. Accordingly, CTEEP was required to pay an amount corresponding to the payment in court (principal of the Loan Agreement plus annual monetary variation) and the Company was required to pay an amount of R$ 1,787,659 updated to December, 31 2015 (R$ 1,554,811 as of December 31, 2014), representing the difference between annual monetary variation and monthly monetary variation under the Loan Agreement. In November 2002, the 5th Civil Court (lower court) dismissed the Company’s allegations and maintained it as a party to the suit. This decision was challenged before the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice (TJRJ). In September 2003, the TJRJ accepted all the allegations made by the Company and ultimately acknowledged based on the Protocol for the Spin-off of government-owned Eletropaulo that the company was not be held liable for settling Loan Agreement 1046/86 since the related liability would have been transferred to EPTE, a company merged into CTEEP. In view of this unfavorable decision, Eletrobrás, in December 2003, and CTEEP in March 2004, filed appeals with the Brazilian High Court of Justice (STJ) and with the STF seeking a reversal of the TJRJ decision. Without considering the merits of the case or the provisions of the Loan Agreement, in June 2006, STJ reversed the decision that exempted the Company from any liabilities for the amounts under dispute and, more importantly, that dismissed it as a party to the litigation. The STJ understands that the litigation among the parties requires the matters to be analyzed through a proceeding other than the formal objection filed, and that the case should, therefore, be returned to 67 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) the lower court (5th Civil Court) for a detailed analysis of the matters involving the three entities (Company, CTEEP and Eletrobrás), the Loan Agreement and the Protocol for the Spin-off of government-owned Eletropaulo. Against this decision: in December 2006 – “motion for clarification of the decision”; in April 2007 – “motion for resolution of conflicting decisions”, and “extraordinary appeal”. None of the appeals were favorable to the Company. As all necessary legal measures had been presented to the STJ and STF and with no further measure necessary the proceedings were returned to the lower court (5th Civil Court). Additionally, in February 2008, CTEEP filed an ordinary suit against the Company and Eletrobrás before the 5th Civil Court seeking a decision that acknowledges CTEEP as not liable for the payment of any amounts claimed by Eletrobrás in connection with the suits involving the Loan Agreement ECF 1046/86. In September 2008, the Company filed its defense, and such claim is currently suspended for purposes of analyzing issues referring to the correct venue of judgment of the case. On April 17, 2009, based on the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (CPCB), Eletrobrás requested that the legal proceedings regarding the “Settlement of the Decision by Arbitration” before the 5th Civil Court be initiated. Such proceeding aims at receiving the challenged debt amount through work to be performed by a legal expert. On May 26, 2009, the Company agreed with the computation of amounts through calculations for execution of decision, but it pointed out that, in this proceeding, the most appropriate way to determine amounts would be the execution based on parts of the judgment rather than based on arbitration, as suggested by Eletrobrás, to the extent that several items of the Government-owned Eletropaulo’s Spin-off Protocol should be analyzed in full, since they were not complied with by the 1999 decision, in particular any and all matters relating to which of the spun-off companies (Company and/ or CTEEP) should be held responsible the for payment. On February 25, 2010, the 5th Civil Court accepted the request for settlement of decision through arbitration given that under the terms of the aforementioned decision the Company presented a motions for clarification of the decision to the 5th Civil Court alleging that the Settlement of the Decision should be made through Articles, while Eletrobrás filed an objection to the appointment of the expert, both dismissed by the 5th Civil Court on March 4th, 2010. 68 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Following the dismissal of the appeal, on March 31, 2010, the Company filed an interlocutory appeal with the TJRJ, which was accepted on April 15, 2010, to determine the full taking of evidence on the facts that support the liability for payment of the debt, it being decided that the settlement decision should be processed in terms of Articles, as requested by the Company. On April 28, 2010, Eletrobrás filed an appeal with the TJRJ seeking acknowledgment of refutation of the expert, which appeal was dismissed by the TJRJ on May 14, 2010, due to the decision that accepted the appeal filed by the Company. This is due to the fact that the Settlement of Decision procedure should be reinitiated at the 5th Civil Court. On March 2011, the Company was acknowledged that, on December 6, 2010, Eletrobrás would requested to start a settlement process and that, for this reason, the process was submitted to the 5th Civil Court. In July 2011, the 5th Civil Court determined that the Company and CTEEP were to produce their answers to the request for the judicial award based on secondary elements added to case records, which was produced by the Company on August 10, 2011 and by CTEEP on July 26, 2011. In December 2012, a decision was announced at the municipal level, with the early judgment of the liquidation holding the Company responsible for the payment of the balance of the monetary correction concerning the financing agreement ECF 1046/1986, executed with Eletrobrás. That decision did not consider the order for carrying out the liquidation procedure of the sentence with broad evidence taking by the Higher Court of Justice (STJ) and the Justice Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ), in addition to not considering the request for evidence taking by the parties. Against the aforementioned decision, on January 7, 2013, the Company filed an appeal with the Justice Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro, requesting the immediate motion to stay execution, and the subsequent annulment of the decision, to determine that broad evidence be produced, including expert evidence. On January 21, 2013 the injunction granted by the Appeals Court Judge, of the Justice Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro became public (“Injunction”), accepting the preliminary request of the appeal filed by the Company against the decision issued on December 12, 2012, by the 5th District Court of Rio de Janeiro in proceeding No 0010021-19.1989.8.19.0001. With the grant of the Injunction, the municipal decision is suspended, and awaits a decision concerning the appeal filed by the Company. 69 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) On February 07, 2013, the District Court of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) granted a favorable decision to the Company, which fully annulled the first instance decision which held the Company responsible for the payment of the debt. Eletrobrás and CTEEP have not filed any appeal against that decision. Therefore, the case shall be resumed in the first instance State Court, continuing with the analysis of technical and legal issues involved in the dispute, as well as for an accounting expert appraisal. On February 20, 2014, a court expert was appointed, and the parties summoned were requested to produce their requirements and appoint a technical assistant, and the Company did so in March 2014. On March 28, 2014, CTEEP appointed its technical assistant and presented its questions to be responded by a court expert. On September 6, 2014, the court expert filed a petition accepting the appointment and the fees proposed (which should be deposited by Eletrobrás). On October 23, 2014, considering that all parties agreed to the proposal of court expert fees, the judge ordered that the amount be deposited, to be done by Eletrobras in a court account in order to start the court expert evidence. On November 24, 2014, Eletrobrás filed a complaint confirming the deposit of the amount of expert fees. On November 27, 2014, the accounting expert took the case to start the work. The expert’s work started February 2015. On September 17, 2015, the accounting expert report, while recognizing the technical premises defended by the Company, issued an opinion in the sense that the liability for the payment of the loan balance adjustment deficiency would stay with the Company. With regard to the report, the Company presented, on September 30, 2015, its technical opinion, as well as submitting new questions to the legal expert. The judge shall decide whether the expert shall answer the supplementary requirements of the Company. In case the judge determines that the expert should answer the supplementary questions, the expert has the prerogative of amending the conclusion of the previous report. After such step, the judge, at his/her discretion, may designate any hearing to question the witnesses, the expert and the respective technical assistants of the parties. After the production of all the evidence, the judge shall render the decision of merits declaring the party liable for paying the debt. Upon conclusion of the legal proceeding on the Settlement of Decision Eletrobrás may reinitiate the execution proceeding against the Company. Should this fact occurs, in order for the Company to defend itself, a collateral should be given under the terms of the Brazilian Civil Code. Also in accordance with the Brazilian Civil Code, Eletrobrás should be entitled to request to the court the release of the collateral provided by the Company even before the final decision. In the event Eletrobrás request is granted, the Company may have to make a cash disbursement and record a negative impact on its income since the aforementioned disbursement may be considered as a contingent asset due to the likelihood of its recovery on final decision in the case. Management’s assessment of loss remains unchanged, and classified as possible. 70 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) In the event a decision unfavorable to the Company is handed down it will be required to pay R$ 1,787,659 updated till December 31, 2015 (R$ 1,554,811 as of December 31, 2014). (18.2.2) Consumer classification – public civil action A Public Civil Action was filed by the Federal Public Prosecutors’ Office and ProTeste on June 1st, 2005 against the Company and ANEEL claiming the classification under the low-income category of the consumer units included in social housing projects. The request for injunctive relief to determine the immediate classification of the aforementioned consumers in the low-income category was rejected and the decision was subject to an appeal filed by Pro-Teste with the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region which upheld the decision. In October 2008 the injunction was deemed as without grounds. Following the unfavorable decision the plaintiffs filed appeals with the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region. The amount involved in the action cannot be estimated as it refers to a public civil action and, in the event of overturn of the decision favorable to the Company, consumers may individually request enforcement of the decision and the benefits arising there from. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay amounts, which, in light of the current progress of the action, are not likely to be quantified. (18.2.3) Tariff Reset – exclusion of bilateral contract amounts The Federal Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a public civil action on December 5th, 2003 against the Company and ANEEL seeking the ruling out of the amounts under the agreement entered into between the Company and AES Tietê in the composition of tariffs, as well as the refund of consumers for tariffs allegedly overcharged in 2003. The amount of the action was R$ 553 on September 30, 2007. The action was rejected and an interlocutory appeal was filed with the Federal Regional Court of the Third Region, which was dismissed. After presentation of the refutations and subsequent rebuttals, the action was deemed as without grounds. In March 2012, the appeal filed by the Federal Prosecutors’ Office was accepted, indicating that the proceeding should go through examination by experts to determine whether there had been excessive onus on Company’s consumers, and the Company presented a request for clarification against that decision, which was rejected in June 2012. On July 3rd, 2012 the company filed for an appeal with STJ and STF against the decision that reversed the sentence of groundlessness of the suit. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay amounts, which, in light of the current progress in the action, are not likely to be quantified. In this case, any potential payment due to any ruling against the Company should be requested by the allegedly aggrieved parties. (18.2.4) Tariff Reset – tax benefit On November 16, 2004, a legal proceeding was filed due to analysis of the 2003 Tariff Reset, and the Federal Court of Auditors handed down an opinion unfavorable to ANEEL and the Company, where it has asserted that the Company would have inadequately taken advantage from the benefits generated by payment of interest on shareholder’s equity in the composition of tariff amounts. In light of 71 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) these allegations, the Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a civil class action against the Company and ANEEL, seeking the acknowledgment and subsequent cancellation of the unduly generated benefit as well as the refund of amounts allegedly overcharged to consumers. After the submission of defense by the parties and the closing of the evidence taking phase, the proceeding was decided in favor of the Company at the lower courts. It was ruled that there was no undue benefit on the Company’s behalf. The Company is awaiting a court decision as to the appeal filed by the Federal General Attorney’s Office. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay amount, which, in light of the current progress in the case, are not likely to be quantified. (18.2.5) ADA regulator assessment – allowance for doubtful accounts Two tax assessment notices were filed against Eletropaulo by ANEEL (on May 4th, 2000 – AI No 015/TN170 and April 5th, 2001- AI 027/TN0336/1) as a result of inclusion of credits against the Government in the ADA – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company filed two writs of mandamus against these tax assessments. Both injunctions were dismissed, given that all reasonable measures were presented in the lower courts and based on the last calculation adopted by ANEEL the amount of these assessments totals R$ 63,444 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 55,408 as of December 31, 2014). AI 015/TN170: On July 4th, 2012 an unfavorable decision was handed down to the appeal filed by the Company in the writ of mandamus, with a new review appeal being filed on July 6th, 2012 an appeal that was dismissed. On August 23, 2013, the Company brought a Special Appeal to the Higher Court of Justice (STJ) and an Extraordinary Appeal to the Federal Supreme Court (STF). On September 10, 2013, the Company filed two Precautionary Measures with request for injunction, with the Federal Regional Court of the First Region (TRF1), with a view at dismissing the liability of the fine imposed by ANEEL until the final adjucation of the appeals, both by the STJ and the STF. On September 17, 2013, the TRF1 granted the dismissal requested by the Company. According to the adjustments made on the basis of the adjustment criteria adopted by ANEEL, that fine amounts to R$ 15,327, adjusted until December 31, 2015 (R$ 13,386 on December 31, 2014). AI 027/TN0336/1: On August 27, 2013, the appeal filed by the Company against the unfavorable decision by the lower court in February 2002 was granted, by the Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (TRF1), canceling the fine imposed by ANEEL. Against the favorable decision to the Company, ANEEL filed an appeal at TRF1 addressed to STJ. The judgment of admissibility of the appeal at TRF1 is pending. Based on the adjustments made according to the adjustment criteria adopted by ANEEL that fine amounts to R$ 48,117 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 42,022 as of December 31, 2014). 72 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (18.2.6) Popular action - Maruzan Conrado On January 26, 2006, Mr. Maruzan Conrado Oliveira, filed a popular action against the Company, SABESP, the Taboão da Serra Municipal Government and Mr. Fernando Fernandes Filho, seeking the annulment of an Acknowledgement of Debt agreement signed by the co-defendants as well as indemnification for damages allegedly caused to national treasury. On April 8, 2014, the Company was awarded a favorable decision, which deemed the action unfounded and recognized that there had been no breach of the debt confession agreement, or irregular installment payment as provided under that agreement between the Company and the Local Administration of Taboão da Serra in 2004.

ABRADEE (Brazilian Association of Electric Energy Utilities) requested its inclusion in the proceeding as interest’s party. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay amount, which, in light of the current progress in the case, are not likely to be quantified. (18.2.8) Public civil action - City Boaçava The City Boaçava District Residents Association (Associação de Moradores do Bairro de City Boaçava) filed a Public Civil Action aiming at preventing the reinforcement of LTA Pirituba-Bandeirante 3-4 transmission line, based on the allegation that the radiation generated by electromagnetic fields has harmful effects on individuals living close to the transmission line. The decision was partially favorable. An appeal was filed against that decision which was unfavorable to the Company. In light of the constitutional matters contained in the decision an extraordinary appeal was filed with the STF and is pending judgment. On March 3, 2011, due to a request presented by Company, STF suspended the effects of the decision of São Paulo State Law Courts until final decision about the merit of the injunction. In June 2011 ANEEL requested its inclusion in the proceeding as an “amicus curiae”. In September 2011 the Federal Higher Court has recognized that the matter discussed on the appeal lodged by the company is “Repercussão Geral” (Public Interest), by the Minister speaking for the Federal Supreme Court on the case called a public hearing to listen to the testimony of people with expertise and experience on the matter regarding the electro-magnetic field of electric power transmission lines.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) related to the case. On July 29, 2014, the Federal Prosecution presented in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) its opinion as to accepting the Company’s appeal, given that the electromagnetic fields generated by the transmission lines comply with the Brazilian legislation and the international limits recommended by the World Health Organization (which adopts the guidelines of ICNIRP). The appeal is pending decision by the Federal Higher Court. In the event an unfavorable decision is handed down, the Company will be required to pay amounts which, in light of the current progress of the case, are not likely to be quantified. (18.2.9) Public civil action - ETD panorama The Cidade Jardim Residents Association (Associação de Moradores Sociedade Amigos da Cidade Jardim) filed a Public Civil Action aiming at preventing the construction of ETD Panorama. After deferring the injunction ordering the stoppage of work, the Company, through appeal, obtained an order determining the continuity of the works, which, in December 2015, was upheld in an unappealable ruling declining to hear the Special Appeal which would be judged by STJ (Superior Court of Justice), making the court order granting the possibility of building the said ETD definite. On merit, the lawsuit was dismissed and motions for clarification were filed by the opposing party, which were rejected. Currently, the trial for the appeal filed by Sociedade is pending. Considering the confirmation of refusal of the injunction filed by the Sociedade Amigos da Cidade Jardim, the lawsuit prognosis was changed to remote. (18.2.10) Public civil action – suspension of supply The Legal Aid Department and the Consumer Rights Association of the Municipality of Santo André, on January 06, 2006, filed a Public Civil Action against the Company seeking to (1) prevent the interruption of supply of electric power to consumers in that municipality due to allegations of fraud in metering facilities, (2) a declaration to annul the terms of Debt Acknowledgement Agreements entered into with the Santo André residents, with the subsequent refund of 2 times the amount unduly received, as well as (3) in case of verification of fraud, the Company is required to indicate the source and materiality of any fraud and stipulate the objective criteria for its determination. On September 22, 2010 a partially favorable decision was handed down by the lower courts After the parties had filed appeals, in November 2012, the Court of Appeals of the State São Paulo issued a decision granting the appeal by the Company, and denying the appeal by the Plaintiff.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (18.2.11) Public civil action – overdue - 90 days On April 15, 2005, the Public Prosecutors’ Office filed a Public Civil Action against the Company seeking to (1) define the prescriptive year for the collection of amounts relating to consumer accounts overdue by ninety days, in accordance with the Consumer Defense Code (CDC), (2) also in accordance with the CDC, the refund by two times the amount incorrectly charged from consumers that signed acknowledgement of debt agreements fully or partially composed of third party debts (former owners, tenants, or occupiers), and finally, (3) that ANEEL supervises the compliance with the Company’s decisions. A partially well founded ruling was awarded by the trial court, and the Company filed an appeal before the 3rd Region of the Federal Court against the decision on merits at the trial court, which ordered the refund of the amounts wrongly collected from consumers who signed TCDs regarding third parties’ debts. The Company awaits judgment. As regards compliance with the part of the sentence that determines the identification of consumers eventually affected by the decisions and the quantification of the amount involved in the court claim, on September 9, 2014, a decision was awarded terminating the temporary execution requested by the Federal Prosecution in order to identify the consumers who signed Debt Confession Terms (TCDs). On June 15, 2015, the Motion for Clarification filed by the Federal Prosecution Service was partially granted by the trial court and determined that the judgment had been partially executed (identification, by the Company, of the TCD’s declared void) and R$ 10 daily fine is invalid, because the MPF itself had agreed to postpone the deadline for provisional execution. Pursuant to the survey concluded in the provisional performance, 3,211 TCDs were identified, relating to consumers failing to assume the liability for third party debits, in the total amount of R$ 6,430. On September 11, 2015, the Sixth Class of TRF - 3rd Region rejected the appeal filed by the Company and ANEEL and granted the appeal filed by MPF in order to increase the adverse judgment for double reimbursement of the amount that had been wrongly collected from consumers executing the admission of debt partially or fully comprised of third party debits. On September 29, 2015, the Company presented the Motion for Clarification to TRF 3rd Region and, after its judgment, it shall file an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. The office in charge shall maintain the probability of loss as possible for such case. Should an unfavorable decision supervenes, the Company will have an impact on its operations, and will have to disburse amounts, which, given the current claim status, are not subject to quantification. 75 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) (18.2.12) Payment of FGTS - government severance indemnity fund for employees It refers to three notices related to the year from January 1993 to September 1998, issued on November 1998 amount by Caixa Econômica Federal, in connection with an alleged failure to pay FGTS amount of R$ 85,205 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 112,902 as of December 31, 2014). After the allegations made by the Company, in March 2007 there was an unfavorable decision at the administrative level and the consequent inclusion of that debt in the Overdue Federal Liabilities. In view of that, since the Company understands that the intended collection is unfounded, it filed for a Writ of Prevention to, upon the presentation of a Guarantee Letter, suspend the debit until the merit of the dispute is judged. In September 2014, the decision of the trial court was awarded, judging the request partially well founded (debt charged off by R$ 15,458). Appeal filed, which is pending judgment. (18.2.13) PASEP – Suspension of collection In November 2006, the Company filed a writ of prevention with a view to suspending collection of presumed PASEP debts related for the period from January 1985 to June 1988, in the amount of R$ 40,373 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 39,722 as of December 31, 2014),which was granted by presenting bank guarantee. The collection is based on the fact that by instituting the Law Decree No. 2052/1983, the Company would have to fall within and be subordinated to the standards applicable to PASEP, but not to PIS. In view of the unfavorable decision at the municipal level, the Company filed an appeal, which still awaits judgment. (18.2.14) NFLDs – tax collection proceedings These refer to tax collection proceedings filed by the Brazilian Institute of Social Security (INSS) seeking collection of alleged tax credits not paid for purposes of social security payments totaling R$ 32,408 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 31,384 as of December 31, 2014). In summary, the discussions concern the possible levy of Social Security taxes on different non- compensatory monies. Two Tax Foreclosures had unfavorable decisions at the lower court, and at this time we await a decision by the court of appeals. As to the third foreclosure we await a decision by the lower court. (18.2.15) Social Contribution Tax Loss Carry forward In November 2007, Company filed a Declaratory Action with a view at ruling out the application of MP 2158/2001, which determined that companies derived from spin-offs can only use CSLL credits on the exact proportion of the spun-off company net equity. The Company does not agree with that rule, since it wants the proportion defined in the spin-off protocol, which is prior to the aforementioned MP to prevail. The difference between the credit balance percentages amounts to R$ 130,463 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 123,045 as of December 31, 2014). In March 2007, the trial decision was rendered in favor of the Company's interests. In September 2015, the appellate decision was rendered, denying the appeal filed by the Federal Government. In October 2015, the Federal Government filed for Motions for Clarifications, which are currently pending trial. Currently, the 76 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) eventual filing of special appeal by the Government is pending. Despite of that decision that suspends the demand of the debit, in September 2010, the Federal Revenue Office drew up a Notice of Infraction and issued a final order in face of the Company’s demand that CSLL amounts be compensated in the 3 rd and 4th quarters of 2005 and in 2006 and 2007. In July 2012, an unfavorable decision by the lower court was issued against the Company. A Voluntary Appeal was filed with a partially favorable decision for the Company. In December 2014, a partially favorable decision cancelling the separate fine collection (R$ 22,328 in historical amounts) was maintained, maintaining the updating as for the principal, ex-officio fine and SELIC (R$ 65,122 - in historical amounts). Since there is no more possibility for administrative appeal, the unfavorable part of the notice of violation remains under discussion in the common share, which prognosis remains unaltered. (18.2.16) Municipal tax foreclosures - sundry The Company has several Tax Foreclosures filed by Municipalities in its concession area, demanding basically IPTU debts (property taxes), fines and ISS. The total debts classified as potential loss amount to R$ 108,122 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 88,300 as of December 31, 2014). The greatest part of that amount (R$ 86,786) refer to seven Tax Foreclosures of the municipalities of Itapevi and Jandira, where fines are required due to failure to produce technical opinions for each assets deployed in the municipality. These discussions are based on legislations that regulate the use of urban soil, and not on the relevant municipal aspects, and since they are not of the same nature as the other fines, they were being analyzed individually, and are not included in the amounts of this item. (18.2.17) PIS – Decree Law 2445/1988 and 2449/1988 In July 2000, the Company filed a Judicial Lawsuit with an aim at the recognition of PIS credits derived from the overpayment made when the aforementioned Decrees were in force, and that had been ruled as unconstitutional by the Higher Court of Justice - STF. In May 2012, the Company was granted a final favorable decision recognizing the right to the aforementioned credit. However, five (5) Tax Foreclosures with a view at collecting the debits compensated by the Company in 2002 are still in progress. Since these debits were offset with credits already recognized by the aforementioned final decisions, a potential exposure of the Company is restricted to an arrears fine of 20% applicable to the debts compensated, which amount to R$ 49,394. The amount is not subject to adjustment given that it concerns only a default fine of 20%, applied on the offset PIS debits. (18.2.18) PIS – Statute of limitations Addresses the Tax Foreclosure with a view at collecting alleged PIS debits in the amount of R$ 221,294 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 214,146 as of December 31, 2014) arising from the enforcement of the Standards imposed by MP 1407/1996. In opposition to that collection, the Company filed defense, asserting loss of right by the Tax Administration to demand these amounts based on the time elapsed between the taxable event and the due constitution of the tax debit, which was delayed by 5 years. Unfavorable decisions rendered by trial and appellate courts. In May 2015, motions for clarification were filed, Which were not 77 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

After receiving formal notification of the suit and the preliminary decision awarded, the Company filed an appeal before the Higher Court of Justice, which determined that TJSP decision was to be suspended. Against such decision, PROCON filed an appeal which is still pending judgment. The Company will produce its defense in October 2011, and the suit was forwarded to the Federal Court after ANEEL entry into the proceeding was admitted, where judgment is awaited. On March 20, 2014, the action was partially granted in the lower court, condemning the Company to the payment of collective moral damages in the amount of R$ 2,000, to be reverted to the Diffuse Rights Protection Fund. The Company and ANEEL shall file for an appeal in order to dismiss such court decision. Should an unfavorable decision supervenes, the Company will have disburse amount R$ 3,798, updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 3,009 as of December 31, 2014). (18.2.20) FINSOCIAL In July 2012 the Company was notified of two (2) Final Orders that ratified partially the offsets made with credits from FINSOCIAL. It should be pointed out that such credits derive from a final court decision that recognized same, with the discussion remaining solely around its amount. The amount of the portion still not ratified is R$ 185,021 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 171,744 as of December 31, 2014). On April, 2013 there was unfavorable decisions at the lower court to the Company, which was filed a Voluntary Appeal. The Company awaits a decision on the appeals filed. (18.2.21) COFINS - Amnesty Judicial Action proposed by the Company against the Federal Treasury with a view at the recognition of amounts paid as COFINS, considering the reductions of fines and interest guaranteed by the amnesty provided for by Law 9779/99. In May 2012, there was a decision at the State Court recognizing the right to the reductions brought about by the amnesty. However, in the context of that same decision, the understanding that the legal charges of 20% on the amount of the debt had not been excluded by the amnesty was issued, remaining therefore the requirement concerning that amount which is of the order of R$ 149,061 updated to December 31, 2015 (R$ 144,802 as of December 31, 2014). 78 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

From the exclusive standpoint of the Brazilian Tax Authorities the exofficio fine is justified by the fact that the COFINS credits were paid by means of the Tax Amnesty granted by MP 2158/99 rather than the original payment of that tax (explanatory note 18.2.21). On October 31, 2011 an unfavorable decision was rendered by the appeal court. The Company obtained an unfavorable decision at the trial court and partially favorable decision in administrative appellate court. In January 2015, the Company was served with the notice of the decision denying the furtherance to special appeal to CARF (Administrative Council of Tax Appeals). Thus, the decision decreasing the ex-officio fine from 100% to 75% became definite, as well as the incidence of SELIC rate on such values was excluded. Since there is no possibility for appeal any longer, the debit was decreased from R$ 221,631 to R$ 58,988. On April 2015, the preparatory action for a provisional remedy for tax collection shall be filed in order to enable the debit guarantee and consequent enforceability suspension. The proceeding merit shall be discussed in the records of the future tax collection to be proposed by the Federal Revenue Service.

On February 18, 2013 the Reporting Director was appointed for the aforementioned proceeding. In November 2013, ANEEL notified the Company requesting the latter to expose their view in regards to the aforementioned proceeding, for the specific purpose of knowing whether the recalculation of the tariffs practiced by the Company is due prior to the date of its third periodic tariff reset, for potential discount and refund of amortization and depreciation installments associated with any possibly nonexistent assets (246,474.87 meters of AL Nu CAA 1272 MCM Cable). The company presented its view, and on December 17, 2013, ANEEL Management by means of ANEEL Dispatch nº 4.259/2013, decided for the recalculation of the tariffs used by the Company in the period between July 2007 and July 2011, corresponding to the amount of R$ 626,052, which shall be adjusted by the IGP-M as of December 1, 2013 until the date of the beginning of the refund, which shall be made by means of a negative financial component, deferred in up to 4 tariff events as of July 2014 (“Decision”). After the Decision was published, which took place on December 27, 2013, the Company filed for an administrative appeal requesting ANEEL to reconsider the Decision, also requesting that its effects be suspended until the reconsideration request made is analyzed by the Agency. On January 28, 2014, by means of a dispatch, ANEEL General Director denied the company’s request regarding the suspension of the effects of the Decision. In opposition to that act, also on January 28, 2014, the Company filed for a writ of mandamus with the Federal Court of Brasilia, with a motion for an injunction requesting the Court to order the suspension of the effects of the Decision until the request for reconsideration is judged by ANEEL.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) On the same date, the Company filed a new request for reconsideration, requiring that the decision be reviewed as to the part that did not accept the secondary claim for tariff recalculation, taking into account the undervaluation of other existing service assets. Also on July 3, 2014, the Company requested the Writ of Mandamus Court to extend the preliminary injunction, which had suspended the effect of the Decision rendered in December 2013, until the final judgment of the request for reconsideration made by the Company by way of administrative proceeding nº 48500.006159/2012-75. On July 9, 2014, the Writ of Mandamus Court determined the extension of the injunction previously granted, until the final judgment of the request for reconsideration made by the Company in administrative Proceeding nº 48500.006159/2012-75, and thus the effects of the decision awarded by ANEEL on July 1, 2014 were suspended. On July 16, 2014, ANEEL’s General Director, despotically did not acknowledge the new request for consideration filed by the Company on July 3, 2014, on the basis that the discussion had been exhausted at the administrative level.

By new criteria, ESS cost due to energy security, which was fully apportioned by consume category, free consumers and distribution companies shall be apportioned by all SIN agents, including generator companies and trader companies. In May 2013, several associations - Abraceel, Apine, Abragel, Abraget, Única and Abeeólica – managed to be granted injunctions excluding their associates from splitting these costs and exempting them from the payment. As a consequence of the judicial dispute, the Electric Energy Commercialization Camber – CCEE has been carrying out financial settlements, allocating the corresponding cost to the consumer category, including distributors. On December 31, 2015, the injunction remains in force until a final decision is made, which discusses the application of ESS collection by CNPE Resolution 03.

(b) Risks associated with financial instruments The Company is exposed to the following risks resulting from financial instruments: (b.1) Credit risk Credit Risk is the risk of the Company to incur in loss due to a client or a contraparty in a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. This risk is basically generated in: (i) accounts receivable from customers; and (ii) cash equivalents and short term investments. Accounts receivable Under electric power industry regulations and the concession contract, the Company is obligated to supply electric power to all consumers located in its concession area. In accordance with the industry regulations, the Company has the right to interrupt the supply of electricity to consumers who fail to pay their bills. Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments Risks related to financial investments deposited in financial institutions that are subject to market actions and the risk associated with them, and especially to the lack of guarantees for the amounts invested, which may lead to loss of related amounts. 103 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The Company operates so as to diversify credit risk with financial institutions, concentrating their transactions only in prime institutions and following their internal policies on valuation of investments to equity of such financial institutions, and the ratings of the main agencies. The Company uses the ratings of Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s (S&P) to identify the banks eligible for investment portfolio composition. Any financial institutions who show, in one of the risk rating agencies, rating below that set out, (AA), at the domestic level, in local currency, may not be part of the investment portfolio. As to the amounts of maximum exposure by financial institutions, the most restrictive of the following criteria defined by the Company prevail: (i) Cash Criterion: Investments of up to 20% (Shareholders’ Equity (PL) less than R$ 6,000,000) up to 25% (PL exceeds R$ 6,000,000) of the total portfolio per financial institution. (ii) Company’s Net Equity (PL) Criteria: Investments of up to 20% of its net equity per financial institution; and (iii) Criterion of Net Equity of the Financial Institution receiving the resources: Each Financial Institution may receive resources equivalent up to 3% (PL less than R$ 6,000,000) up to 5% (PL exceeds R$ 6,000,000) of its net equity. The most restrictive among criteria i, ii and iii prevails. The book values of financial instruments represent the maximum exposure to the credit risk. The maximum exposure to the credit risk as of December 31, 2015 is: 2015 Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Consumer, concessionaire and permittees Accounts receivable – agreements Total net exposure 146,621 384,557 2,556,625 98,967 3,186,770 (b.2) Liquidity risk The Company adopts as risk management policy: (i) to maintain a minimum cash level as to insure the availability of financial resources and to mitigate liquidity risks; (ii) to establish guidelines to contract hedge operations to mitigate the Company’s financial risks, as well as the operation and control of these positions. The table below shows information on future maturities of financial liabilities of the Company. For “loans and financings” and “debentures” the projected cash flows are being used.

Interest rate risk The Company has significant levels of financing that are remunerated at the CDI, SELIC e TJLP. Accordingly, the Company’s income statement is affected by the variation of such indexes. On December 31, 2015 the investments of Company were allocated in CDBs and repurchase agreement indexed by CDI. The net amount that the Company is exposed relating to the interest risk as of December 31, 2015 is: 2015 Short-term investments Loans and financing Debentures Total net exposure 384,557 (446,386) (3,081,068) (3,142,897) The amounts of loans, financing and debentures in the table above are related only to debts indexed to the CDI, SELIC e TJLP and do not include the cost of unamortized balances. Sensitivity analysis to interest rate risk With a view to determining the sensitivity on short-term investment and debts indexes to which the Company was exposed as of December 31, 2015, 5 different scenarios were developed. Based on the report prepared by FOCUS on December 31, 2015, the SELIC/CDI e TJLP indices were estimated for one year, and this scenario was defined as probable; 25% and 50% variations were calculated thereon. Gross financial income and expense were calculated for each scenario, which represents the estimated effect in the profit and loss and shareholders’ equity for each projected scenario, not considering taxes on short-term investment yields or flow of payments for each debt contract. The portfolio base date was December 31, 2015 with a one-year forecast and CDI sensitivity tested for each scenario. 106 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Recovery plan for the indicators In 2014 and early 2015, severe weather caused multiple and simultaneous incidents that interrupted the improvements trend of quality indicators of distribution, mainly SAIDI. At the same time the regulator requested for 18 electricity distribution companies, including the Company, a Recovery Plan of Operational Indicators, directing them to equalize the quality of services in their concession areas. The Company's income plan was presented to ANEEL, on September 18, 2015, and approved by the agency on December 16, 2015. At the end of the plan, if the Company does not meet the agreed indicators, ANEEL may impose penalties appearing in REN63/2004, which are warning, penalty and, in extreme cases, intervention of the concession. The improvements in quality indicators regulated results in additional investments and costs. (c.2) Debt acceleration risk The Company has loans, financing and debentures contracts containing covenants usually applicable to these types of transactions, related to compliance with economic and financial indexes, cash generation and others. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was compliant with the terms of the covenants (explanatory note 15.7). (c.3) Electric power contracting risk The 2015 portfolio of Company power agreements consists of the following components: Bilateral Contracts with AES Tietê Itaipu Contract and Program for Alternative Electric Power Generation Sources (PROINFA); Physical Guarantee Quotas Agreements – CCCGF; quotas Angra 1 and 2 and Electric Power Purchase Agreements in a Regulated Market (CCEAR). According to MME Decree No. 5163/2004, distributors must enter into regulated power purchase agreements, only through federal public auctions, whose duration is established by the MME. Costs associated with purchase of electric power consist of unmanageable items. Current legislation establishes that distribution companies must ensure service to 100% of their energy markets, and stipulates that ANEEL must consider, when transferring electric power acquisition costs, up to 105% of the total amount of power purchased in relation to the distributor’s annual supply load. 110 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) The primary factors of uncertainty in the purchase of electricity are related to the anticipation of the need for acquiring energy in advance of 5 and 3 years as regards the start of the supply of the electricity acquired and the expectation of future prices. Non-supply of 100% of the market may lead to fines due to lack of contracting, in addition to not onlending the full costs of energy purchase in the Short-Term Market onlent to the tariffs. Additionally, ANEEL will not pass on the costs of acquisition of electric energy to the final consumers’ tariffs, in the event that the level of contracting is in excess of one hundred and five percent of the total amount of electric energy contracted compared to the annual load of supply of the distribution agent. There are instruments provided for in the legislation such as adjustment auctions to mitigate the risks of over and under contracting, MCSD (Surplus and Deficit Control Mechanisms), option to reduce the Auction contracts (CCEARs) due to (i) migration of consumers to the free market, (ii) increases in power purchase under agreements entered into before Law No. 10848/2004 was issued, and (iii) other market variations. The power supply strategy is to ensure that the contracting level remains in the range between 100% and 105%, in order to minimize costs with purchase of power required to serve all captive consumers. Therefore, a risk management approach was adopted on power purchase focused on identifying, measuring volume, prices and supply periods, in addition to using leveraging tools to support the contracting decision. As provided for in the rules established by ANEEL Regulatory Decision 453, of October 18, 2011, the contracting exposure to which the distribution companies may be subject for reasons beyond their will, may be passed on to the distribution to the respective tariffs. That onlending should be granted, provided that the distribution agents use all mechanisms provided for in the regulation to meet the obligation to contract the whole electric energy market. The penalties derived from not meeting the full electric energy market of the distribution agents shall not be applicable in the event of involuntary contractual exposure acknowledged by ANEEL. The company’s contracting level is defined on the basis of the purchase contracts executed and the energy required for the use of captive clients. The Company closed the year of 2015 with a contracting level of 107.2%. Transfer of overcontracting is limited to 5% of the regulatory annual power required from the concessionaire. Therefore, the difference not transferred on to consumer tariff is absorbed by the concessionaire and may result in risk or opportunity, depending on the energy price setting throughout the year. The Company took part in auctions in the regulated environment (CCEAR), in order to replenish the energy linked to the bilateral contract with AES Tiete, whose termination occurred on December 31, 2015. This compulsory participation is generating overcontracting forecast for the year 2016. However, the Company is negotiating with ANEEL a way to mitigate the risks linked to that overcontracting. 111 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) Macro-economic and meteorological uncertainties significantly impact on the projection of power to be contracted. The models provide guidance on the contracting of power and the acceptable levels of risk and over time there is a need to adjust these projections. The increase of the dispatch by the thermoelectric plants and the short-term market prices arising from the unfavorable rainfall scenario may result in higher costs for the Company on the purchase of energy, associated with the contracts by availability (CCEAR), hydrological risks associated with the physical guarantee. Although the increased cost of energy and sector charges are passed through tariff, if they occur at different times, the Company need to be financed by working capital. In order to mitigate the negative impact on the cash flow of distributors in February 2015 ANEEL opened two public hearings to: i) discuss Extraordinary Tariff Reset required by electricity distributors, including the Company's specific request filed on January 9; and ii) discuss adjustments to the tariff flag mechanism already in force. The result was the confirmation of the special rate adjustment as from as of March 2015, anticipating the transfer to customers of the cost increases with the acquisition of electricity, thereby reducing the impact on cash flow and need for working capital of the Company. By publishing the Confirmatory Resolution no. 649 of February 27, 2015, the whole or part of the exposure in the short-term market of the distribution company arising out of involuntary exposure, the cost of the System Service Charge - ESS, the generation cost of the thermal agreements and Hydrological Risk of Cotas and Itaipu started to be reorganized by the effective Rate Flag. In July 2015 the Company has passed by periodic tariff reset process which allowed a new tariff adjustment to cover the Power purchase costs. In addition, the economic crisis and the increase in power tariff led to a market decline.

This plan is eligible for statutory and non statutory directors and aims to retain professionals and at create value for the business in a sustainable way over the long-term. Its effective disbursement occurs only if the global results (financial and performance) are reached, also reflecting in the positive variation in the price of the AES Corporation shares. The AES Corporation has two types of share based payment compensation: (a) Stock option: the statutory director receives the right to purchase shares of The AES Corporation at a specific price after a period of three years; 1/3 of The AES Corporation options granted become exercisable each year in which the officer remains in the Company. The stock options have a contractual term of ten year and, in all circumstances, stock options granted do not entitle the holder the right to settle the stock option in cash or other assets of The AES Corporation. Fair value weighted average for each option grant was estimated, on grant date, through the “Black-Scholes” option pricing model, which used the weighted average of the following assumptions: 2015 Expected volatility (%) Annual expected dividend yield (%) Expected life of options (years) Risk free rate of return (%) 2014 25 3 7 1.86 24 1 6 1.88 Considering the abovementioned assumptions, the market value of options issued was US$ 2.07 and US$ 3.31 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 114 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A.

Regulatory financial statements In compliance with ANEEL Regulatory Resolution 605 published on March 11, 2014, the Company is required to disclose regulatory financial statements (“DCR”), for the year ending December 31, 2015 through April 30, 2016 on the website http://ri.aeseletropaulo.com.br/. 116 ELETROPAULO METROPOLITANA ELETRICIDADE DE SÃO PAULO S.A. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Amounts expressed in thousands of reais, except earnings per shares, presented in reais) 38 Commitments The Company’s main input is electrical power which is basically contracted at public auction supervised by ANEEL. The New Electric Power Sector Model Law established that energy be purchased through auctions in an effort to restructure the electric power sector. This is in order to give incentive to both public and private agents to construct and maintain energy generation and supply in Brazil at moderate tariffs through competitive public power auctions. As of January 31, 2015, the Company now have four basic types of supply agreements: (i) purchased power units from Itaipu that extend until 2027, (ii) energy supply units from PROINFA projects; (iii) Physical Guarantee Quotas Agreements – CCGF ; (iv) bilateral contracts with the affiliate Tietê; and (v) purchases through auctions (explanatory note 26). In addition, the Company incurs cost in accessing the distribution and transmission system where tariffs are approved by ANEEL (explanatory note 26). The Company also has commitments related to sector charges such as Energy Development Account - CDE and Inspection Charge of Public Service of Electric Power - TFSEE, whose tariffs are approved by ANEEL (explanatory note 25). 117 Commentary on Behavior of Corporate Projections a) projection purpose 1 – Investments The Company informs the investment amounts expected, divided into own resources and investments financed by customers. b) projected period and effective period of projection 1 – Investments The Company discloses its projections for annual investments for the next five years including the present financial period, which it can review quarterly, effective through completion or replacement for a new projection. c) assumptions of the projection, with indication of which could be affected by the Company’s management and which are out of control 1 – Investments The Company’s investment projections are mainly based on the following assumptions: Growth indicators (PIB, inflation, demographic density); Network diagnosis; Consumers’ demand; Schedule of maintenances; Regulatory obligations; and Strategic initiatives. All assumptions may be affected by management, except for the growth indicators, demand of the consumers and regulatory obligations out of control. These projections reflect the current views of the Company's management concerning the future of their business, considering mainly the following factors: (i) performance of the national economy and international; (ii) market conditions and the electricity sector in general, including the Country hydrological condition; (iii) the regulation of the electricity sector and environmental legislation in force; and (iv) factors operational. All assumptions indicated above are subject to change, risks and uncertainties that are beyond the management's control. Any changes in such assumptions or factors above described could cause actual results to differ from projections made. In case of material change in these factors, the projections should be reviewed. d) value of the indicators subject to the estimates 1 – Investments Estimated Investments (R$ million) Own resources Customer’s resources Total 2 – Consumers’ demand Estimated 2015 Estimated 2016 Estimated 2017 Estimated 2018 Estimated 2019 2015-2019 cycle 546.2 710.1 73.5 783.6 673.2 78.7 751.9 587.0 84.4 671.4 625.0 83.8 708.8 3,141.5 71.7 617.9 392.1 3,533 The Company presents a comparative between the projected and actual data for the year of 2015 as shown below: e) Monitoring and updating the values of the indicators subject to the estimates 1 – Investments The Company revised the projected values for 2015-2019 cycle, exhibited at d item, targeting the improvement of the quality indicators.

The variation between the estimated 4.5% decrease in comparison 2015 vs. 2014 and the actual decrease of 4.7% is due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic scenario and the increase in energy tariffs 2015 Management Report Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. Dear Shareholders, The Management of Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (“AES Eletropaulo” or “Company”), in compliance with the legal and statutory provisions, submits for your appraisal the Company’s Management Report and accounting statements, accompanied by the independent accountants’ report on these statements, pertaining to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. PROFILE AES Eletropaulo is a publicly-held company with shares listed on BM&FBovespa, which is for supplying electricity to 24 municipalities located in the metropolitan area of including the capital of the state, one of the main economic and financial centers in Company holds a concession area of 4,526 km², with high population density concentrates Brazil’s greatest GNP. responsible São Paulo, Brazil. The and which In order to meet the demand of 6.9 million consumer units, AES Eletropaulo, which employs 7,165 workers, has a structure which encompasses 152 substations (140 distribution transformer stations, 8 distribution system stations and 4 underground distribution transformer stations) and a distribution and subtransmission network, overhead and underground cables, with over 42 thousand kilometers, of which 1,847 km pertain to subtransmission lines, 2,190 km are underground distribution networks and 38,497 km pertain to overhead distribution networks. The Company has also over 208 thousand overhead and underground distribution transformers. Sustainable Strategic Planning The strategy of AES Brasil, the group to which AES Eletropaulo belongs, is guided by the 2015-2019 Sustainable Strategic Planning (“PES”), which defines as the Company’s strategic guidelines the Customer satisfaction, Business development, Efficient use of resources and discipline in the execution and Engagement of relationship audiences. INDUSTRY CONTEXT The Brazilian power industry is regulated by the National Electric Power Agency [Agência Reguladora de Energia Elétrica] (“ANEEL”), has its guidelines established by the Ministry of Mines and Energy [Ministério de Minas e Energia] (“MME”), and the following institutions are an integral part thereof: the National Power System Operator [Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico] (“ONS”), the purpose of which is to coordinate and control the operation of the National Interconnected System [Sistema Interligado Nacional] (“SIN”); the Electric Power Trade Chamber [Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica] (“CCEE”), which is responsible for accounting for and liquidating short-term market transactions and, under delegation of ANEEL, performs electric energy auctions; and the Energy Research Company [Empresa de Pesquisa Energética] (“EPE”), which conducts studies and researches for the industry’s planning. Prepared with the purpose of ensuring the supply of electric power and reasonable tariffs, the milestone of this industry model was the enactment of Law No. 10.848/2004, which sets forth the coverage of agents of the generation, distribution, transmission and sale segments. Tariffs The electric power supply tariffs are adjusted every year according to a parametric formula set forth in the concession agreement. This formula takes into consideration the transfer of the socalled “unmanageable costs” by ANEEL (Portion A – industry charges, costs of electricity purchased for resale purposes and transmission costs) and adjusts the “manageable costs” of the concessionaire (Portion B – operating expenses, return on assets and depreciation) by the IGP-M of 1 the 12 months prior to the reference date of the adjustment, deducted from a productivity gain index, called “X Factor”. As for AES Eletropaulo, tariffs are reviewed every four years, with the purpose of restoring the economic and financial balance set forth in the concession agreement. Among the main items which ANEEL takes into account in the tariff review methodology are the assessment of the asset base, operating expenses, regulatory losses, depreciation passed to tariffs and the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) that, applied to the asset base, determines the compensation of the Company. The forth periodic tariff review occurred on July 4, 2015 and the next tariff review will occur in July 2019. Fourth Cycle of Tariff Review Aneel, in a Public Meeting of the Executive Office held on June 30, 2015, approved a final periodic tariff review index for the company of 15.23% (average effect on consumers), to be applied to the tariff as from July 4, 2015. The index is composed of an economic adjustment of +7.51% and a financial component of +7.72%, and the financial component considered in the previous tariff determination process has already been deducted. The tariff review index approved included: (i) The reduction of the average price of purchased power due to the termination of the agreement with AES Tietê on December 31, 2015; (ii) The Compensation for Change in Value of Items in Portion A (“CVA”) of R$ 1.8 billion mainly due to the CVA for Power Purchase, corresponding to +17.04% of the index; and, (iii) The reversal of refund of the compensation and depreciation portions related to possibly non-existing assets, in the amount of R$172.6 million as a financial component. We highlight below the items which composed the tariff review in 2015: 2015 Periodic Tariff Reset Parcel A Sector Charges 7.06% Energy purchased -0.28% Transmission costs -0.54% Parcel A 6.24% Parcel B 1.27% Base Adjustment 7.51% Total CVA 17.04% Reversal of Mar/15 Extraordinary Tariff Reset -4.56% Other financial costs of Parcel A -3.71% Parcel B financial costs 1.61% Removal of previous financial adjustments -2.66% Effect of the Financial Components 7.72% Total Readjustment 15.23% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION According to the new Sustainable Strategic Planning of AES Brasil, one of the commitments is to ensure the excellence of the services provided with ethics and respect for the customer. In 2015, AES Eletropaulo achieved 76.1% in the Satisfaction Index with Perceived Quality (ISQP) measured by ABRADEE, a level 3.5 percentage points lower than in 2014. This change occurred mainly due to severe climate events in the beginning of the year, when the data of the first research was collected. In addition, the significant increase in tariff throughout the year caused an increase in the number of clarification requests to the company. Quality Indicators As previously informed to the market and Aneel, AES Eletropaulo verified inconsistencies during the ascertainment of the DEC and FEC indicators in the period between January 2014 and May 2015, mainly due to purges qualified as “critical day”. The Company is ascertaining the exact amount of impacts resulting from the reprocessing, as well as on the refund actions to all clients. Based on the data and projections available to date, AES Eletropaulo made in 2015 provisions in the amount of R$152.2 million (“provision for regulatory proceedings”). This amount represents our best estimate regarding four components: i) compensation to consumers for DIC/FIC/DMIC-related fines; ii) Xq component of the X Factor which composes the tariff; iii) possible fines to be determined by the regulatory body in replacement of any other fines issued against the company for the same period in relation to quality indicators, and iv) financial update up to 2015. The DEC indicator reached 23.41 hours in the past 12 months ended on December 31, 2015, which represents a 76.8% increase in relation to 2014 (13.25 hours). This performance reflects a higher incidence of events with strong wind gusts of up to 100 km/h during the period which was associated with rain and lightning, caused a countless number of branches and objects to hit the power grid, causing multiple damages to the wires, poles and equipment. The fall of more than 400 trees was registered in the City of São Paulo in only three days, contributing to the increase in the DEC during the period. The FEC indicator for the past 12 months was 6.41 times, a 21.3% increase compared to 2014 (5.28 times), also due to the abovementioned reasons. In 2015, the fines paid by the Company to its customers due to violation of the DIC, FIC and DMIC indicators totaled R$82.5 million, an amount 351.5% greater than the one accounted for in the previous year. Customer Relationship The program Jeito AES de Atender (JAAT) was implemented in 2013, with the main purpose of ensuring a relationship standard in all interactions within the Customer’s Journey. This program promotes the culture and engagement regarding the quality and assertiveness necessary to the customer’s interaction with AES. After two phases dedicated to the awareness on the service standardization and service culture in the past years, in 2015, JAAT’s actions focused on the management of the customer’s journey. Different stages related to the power supply and which may result in a direct interaction with the customer compose the journey, such as a complaint regarding the interruption of the power supply or an indemnification claim. Throughout the year, over 8.4 thousand employees and contracted personnel were trained so that they can understand their role and impact on customer satisfaction and on the importance of collaboration among the different departments for the results. Direct interviews with customers have also been conducted to understand the level of satisfaction with the service provided.

Reference by Aneel of losses for the regulatory year normalized for the civil year 1 1 The energy balance reflects the numbers for 2015 informed by the Electric Power Trade Chamber (CCEE), however, the numbers for November 2015 and December 2015 are still preliminary. The numbers set out in the explanatory notes of the Company’s Accounting Statements reflect the amounts estimated thereby at the time of the accounting closing and are adjusted in the subsequent months, when the final numbers are made available by CCEE. The total losses presented a 0.29 percentage point decrease compared to 2014 due to the decrease in technical losses and actions implemented by the Company to reduce the threshold of the nontechnical portion, which were impacted by the tariff increase, mainly in the low voltage segment. Among the main actions promoted to decrease losses, including efforts with the low-income population, we highlight: (i) fraud inspections; (ii) recovery programs of cut installations; and (iii) regularization of illegal connections. In 2015, the initiatives aiming at preventing losses added to the invoiced market 594 GWh, compared to 633 GWh in 2014. Commercial Performance The Company’s concession area has the most diversified economic activities, such as industries, commerce and provision of services. In addition, its concession area has the greatest population concentration in the country. Commercial Activity In 2015, the volume distributed by AES Eletropaulo reached 44,236.8 GWh, a 4.7% decrease in relation to 2014, resulting from the negative performance of the classes, mainly the residential and industrial classes which reduced the consumption in 5.1% and 9.6%, respectively. In this period there was an extra 1.3 days of turnover (+131 GWh) and deactivation of customers’ installations and, if those effects were to be excluded, the total market would decrease by 4.9%. The performance reflects a worse economic scenario and the increase in the electricity rates. Until November 15, the actual income in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo decreased 4.0% and the Industrial Production in the State of São Paulo dropped by 10.9% in relation to the accumulated total in November 2014, according to data provided by IBGE, reflecting the consumption in the State of São Paulo, which accumulates a decrease of 4.1% until November 15. The invoiced market of free clients decreased 6.2% due to the economic activity’s performance. In that period, 4 consumer units migrated to ACL and no unit returned to ACR and the net effect of such migration was an increase of 15 GWh to the ACL and, as a result, a decrease of the same order in the ACR. However, 6 units were turned-off (-16 GWh) in the period, which compensated the volume that migrated to the free market. Economic and Financial Performance Operating Revenue The Company’s gross operating revenue totaled R$24,565.3 million in 2015, a 68.7% increase compared to 2014. Such increase is mainly explained by: (i) a greater supply revenue in the amount of R$4,382.0 million in view of the tariff reviews made throughout the year and the revenue of R$1,623.1 million from Tariff Flags2; and (ii) a greater acknowledgement of the industry financial assets in R$1,838.2 million; offset, mainly, (iii) by the increase of R$2,947.0 million, or 1,323.5%, in the charges of the Energy Development Account [Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético] (“CDE”); and (iv) the accounting for charges of the Tariff Flags Centralizing Account as from January 2015, increasing the Gross Revenue deductions in R$1,694.1 million. 2 It does not include its own consumption of R$1.7 million.

Such increase was partially offset by the decrease of 0.7% of the volume of power purchased in the period (44,746 GWh in 2015 versus 45,077 GWh in 2014). Expenses with charges arising out of the use of the power grid and transmission increased by 183.7% in 2015, mainly as a result of a 151.8% increase in the System Service Charges [Encargos do Serviço do Sistema] (“ESS”) in view of a greater thermal dispatch and the positive effect in 2014 on the liquidation by CCEE in the amount of R$91.5 million due to the financial adjustment regarding the retroactive relief of the ESS and the receipt of funds from the Reserve Energy Account [Conta de Energia de Reserva] (“CONER”) determined by ANEEL in 2014 totaling R$373.0 million (in comparison to R$116.6 million in 2015). Operating Expenses The operating expenses, except for the Company’s pension fund, totaled R$1,893.4 million, a 41.9% increase in relation to that accounted for in 2014 (R$1,334.6 million). Excluding also the Company’s unmanageable items, such as PCLD, cancellations, contingencies, and the sale of Cambuci (R$114 million impact in 2014) and other non-recurring events, the manageable operating expenses would total R$1,329.6 million, an amount 11.3% granter than that accounted for in 2014, mainly as a result of greater costs with personnel, as detailed below. Personnel In 2015, expenses with personnel and charges increased by 2.1% compared to 2014, totaling R$693.2 million. Such variation is mainly due to the increase in the expenses with salary adjustment and benefits in 2015 as a result of the collective bargaining agreement in the amount of R$21.1 million and greater expenses with health insurance in the amount of R$19.9 million, partially offset by the effect of the enhancement to the criteria of apportionment of own labor between Opex and Capex in 2014, in the amount of R$51.8 million. In 2015, expenses with the private pension fund totaled R$315.3 million, a 10.2% increase compared to the R$286.9 million accounted for in 2014, mainly as a result of the decrease in the discount rate.

Such variation is mainly due to (i) expenses of R$28.2 million related to the quality indicators recovery plan; (ii) dismissal and collecting actions plan aiming to reduce default by R$16.1 million; and (iii) expenses resulting from storms occurred the concession area in January 2015. Other Operating Expenses In 2015, the other operating expenses increased by 279.3% in comparison to 2014, totaling R$633.9 million, mainly as a result of the increase of DIC/FIC/DMIC-related fines (R$59.2 million) due to the increase in the average turnover per consumer unit (“average ticket”) after the tariff adjustment of 2014 and tariff review of 2015 and as a result of climate events in January 2015, the increase in PCLD also due to the increase in the “average ticket” and the provision of R$83.43 million related to inconsistences ascertained in the calculation of the DEC and FEC quality indicators. In addition, in 2014 we accounted for R$146.1 million from the sale of real properties, which impacted the variation in the same amount.

This R$450.5 million variation results from (i) the decrease in the amortization effect of the regulatory liability created due to the postponement of the 3RTP of R$362.4 million; (ii) the recovery of the return of any possibly non-existent asset throughout the second trimester of 2015 accounting for approximately R$249.1 million of the variation; offset by (iii) the R$116.4 million increase in PCLD; 3 Composed by (i) compensation to consumers due to DIC/FIC/DMIC/DICRI indicators in the value of R$ 48.5 million and (ii) possible penalties to be established by the regulator which substitutes any other penalties issued to the Company for the same period regarding the quality indicators, totaling R$ 35.0 million (iv) the increase in costs pertaining to Personnel, Materials and Outsourced Services of R$121.2 million; and (v) an effect of R$141.5 million related to inconsistencies ascertained in the calculations of the DEC and FEC quality indicators. Pursuant to IN CVM 527/2012, the disclosure of the EBITDA calculation shall be accompanied by the reconciliation of the amounts set out in the accounting statements and shall be obtained as follows: net profit in 2015 of R$101.1 million and net loss in 2014 of R$131.7 million, plus taxes on profits (R$57.8 million in 2015 and minus R$64.6 million in 2014), from the net financial results of minus R$313.9 million in 2015 and R$238.9 million in 2014, and the depreciations and amortizations (R$490.7 million in 2015 and R$470.5 million in 2014) totaling, as described above, R$963.6 million in 2015 and R$513.1 million in 2014. Financial Results In 2015, the net financial result was a financial expense of R$313.9 million, in comparison to a financial expense of R$238.9 million in 2014. Such variation is explained mainly as follows: (i) the net effect of the CDI due to the increase in the interest rate and a greater debt balance in the period; and (ii) the increase in the exchange rate variation of R$94.7 million, mainly due to the exchange rate variation associated to the power purchased from Itaipú. Net Results In 2015, the Company registered a reported net profit of R$101.1 million, compared to a net loss of R$131.7 million in 2014, a variation of R$232.9 million mainly due to the accounting for the net industry financial assets in 2015 under the period versus the balance accounted for in 2014 which reflects other periods. Shareholders’ Compensation AES Eletropaulo’s Management proposes the distribution of 25% of the base for payment of dividends of 2015, totaling R$42.1 million. The Management also proposes that the remaining amount of R$126.3 million be allocated to the Statutory Reserve to increase the Company’s working capital. The abovementioned allocations will be submitted for the approval of the Ordinary General Meeting (“AGO”), which is scheduled to be held by April 29, 2016. Thus, the proposal for distribution of Company’s funds corresponds to R$ 0.2372 per ON share and R$ 0.2609 per PN share to be paid on a date to be resolved upon at an AGO.

IN 2014, AES Eletropaulo invested R$ 23.3 million. The main projects in 2015 are becoming permanent programs, such as the Smartgrid, with investments of R$ 11.4 million in development and implementation of monitoring, measurement, supervision, communication and intelligence solutions to the electric grid, integrating and taking the Company systems to a new technology level. There were also projects for transmission lines, environment, technical distribution grid solutions, optimization of activities and processes, new concepts, methods and equipment. Power Efficiency Program The AES Eletropaulo Power Efficiency Program seeks to reduce power wastes through regularization of informal connections in low-income communities, machinery and equipment efficiency and improvements in power management from public and corporate clients, as well as educational projects focusing on awareness in power consumption. IN 2015, R$ 68.6 million were invested, an average R$ 21 million increase compared to 2014, of which R$ 37.1 million were owned resources and R$ 31.5 million were resources from the ANEEL program Transformação de Consumidores em Clientes (Transforming Consumers into Clients), which aims to regulate informal connections through safe and reliable power supply. On other power efficiency programs, public and private entities were contemplated, as well as projects originated from Public Calls. Also, projects with a social scope, such as the Recicle Mais Pague Menos ("Recycle More, Pay less") program and AES in Schools. Safety Company Safety Programs are based in global guidelines of the AES Corporation (AES Corp) and on the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). The OHSMS requisites are according to specifications of Role OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series), an international rule regarding workplace safety and health, focused at preservation of physical integrity and health of collaborators and partners, through risk mitigation practices in activities and facilities. As a result of the adherence to our Health and Safety Management System we were granted, in 2012, the OHSAS Certification 18001. In 2015, the recertification audit by certifying company ABS Quality Evaluations was carried out. Despite continuous efforts from AES Eletropaulo to keep a safe work environment, in 2015 a traffic accident was recorded, involving a contractor team, which ended with two casualties. There was an increase in attendance rates of owned collaborators and contractors compared to 2014, as a result of minor events regarding injuries. No event was related to interaction with electric energy. Events recorded in 2015 requested more attention over the reduction of accident frequency and reinforcement of the safety principles and culture on all operational levels. Thus, an additional strategic action plan was established to the Safety Program, regarding process aspects, data collection, incident report and analysis, contractor management and training. In 2016 a new strategic cycle will be started for the safety theme inside AES, based on challenges observed over the last years and lessons learned. The Company keeps four formal safety committees: AES Brasil Job Safety Committee, AES Eletropaulo Job Safety Committee, AES Eletropaulo Regional Committee and Internal Committee for Accident Prevention ("CIPA"), all representing the best interests of all collaborators. Population Safety IN 2015, there were 16 fatal accidents involving the population, compared to 10 in 2014. Actions for raising awareness over risks were reinforced throughout 2015. This increase may be due to the advance of informal civil construction activities near the power grid, especially in low-income communities. In order to address these practices and provide more safety to the population, safety lectures in communities and companies were increased in 2015, and Blitzes and training with the population were carried out, focusing on civil construction workers. Awareness campaigns in public media were also reinforced in 2015, with announcements on broadcast TV, radio stations, subways and trains in order to inform the public about the safety risks regarding the power grid. The company invested R$ 1 million in 2015 to bring information to the population, mainly of lowincome, which experienced the most accidents. Environmental Management AES Eletropaulo features the Environmental Management System "SGA", certified since 2008 according to requisites of Rule ISO 14001. In 2015, the re-certification audit was carried out (in joint effort with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System) by certifier company ABS Quality, which resulted in "Zero Non-Conformities". The SGA focuses, mainly, on prevention, mitigation and control of negative environmental impacts caused by company operations. In order to attain better results, goals are established and investments are made in standardization and improvement of operational processes of activities with higher environmental risks. The system also approaches themes which involve management of service and material suppliers, taking into account issues related to conformity to environmental law and Company policies, as well as impact and accident prevention. All these actions are guided by the AES Brasil sustainability policy, which promotes action in conformity with the current environmental law and in respect of natural resources. In 2015, AES Eletropaulo assigned R$ 75.7 million to environmental actions, such as training, improvement of environmental process management, new technologies, licensing and environmental compensations, investigation of potential liabilities, environmental remediation measures and environmental audits with suppliers. ENGAGEMENT WITH RELATIONSHIP AUDIENCES Collaborators Seeking to attract, develop and retain talent, AES Brasil companies put effort in providing collaborators with an ethical and inclusive work environment, which values diversity and promotes personal and professional development. Collaborators are engaged to a culture of sustainability and creation of shared value, which is based in ethics and AES Values. In 2015, the development process of 7,165 collaborators of AES Eletropaulo was continued, in order to retain talent with necessary knowledge and experience to reach the goals of the AES vision - always based on our Values. Career development policies include continued qualification processes, trainee programs, practice, acknowledgment, knowledge management, inclusive qualification, and leadership development. Communities The relationship and commitments to communities are guided by the Corporate Social Responsibility Management System (SGRSC) and are in accordance to external rules and standards applicable to AES businesses in Brazil, such as ISO 26,000 and AA 1,000. This way, the Company promotes continued improvement of social action and ensures alignment with the business strategy and Sustainability Policy. Initiatives for communities are grouped under four pillars of the Private Social Investment Policy, aligned to the value creation model of the company based on the Sustainable Strategic Planning: Education, Culture, Sports and Health; Inclusive Professional Qualification; Access to Electricity and Power Efficiency; Social Influence. The evaluation system is made of indicators of activity management, which measure the impact over the affected audience and take investment per project into consideration. Opinion polls are also carried out with the beneficiaries to measure the satisfaction levels and fulfillment of expectations for each audience. In 2015, R$ 95.2 million was assigned, of which R$ 50.1 million were incentive resources and R$ 45.1 million with owned resources in social actions.
