2 – Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

2.1 - Presentation

The interim financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries have been presented in thousands of Brazilian reais and were prepared in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices, corporate law and supplementary standards issued by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) and the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), which, effective January 1, 1996, no longer provide for recognition of the effects of inflation.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with principles, practices and criteria consistent with those adopted for preparing the prior year’s financial statements, and should be analyzed together with these statements, except for the items below:

For the purpose of improving the information disclosed to the market, beginning in the first quarter of 2004, the statement of cash flows is being presented, as supplementary information (see Note 32).

2.2 - Consolidation Criteria

The consolidated interim financial statements include the balances and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries CPFL Paulista, CPFL Geração and CPFL Brasil. As of September 30 and June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the balances of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses were fully consolidated. Before consolidation with the Company’s financial statements, the financial statements of CPFL Paulista and CPFL Geração were consolidated with those of their subsidiaries, fully or proportionally (see Note 1), in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 247/1996. Based on the foregoing, the minority interest in shareholders’ equity and net income (loss) is shown separately.

3 – Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

a)

Rationing:

At the end of 2001, due to the Emergency Program for Reduction of Electric Power Consumption that was in effect during the period comprised between June 2001 and February 2002, an agreement was made among the electrical power generators and distributors and the Federal Government, called “General Agreement of the Electrical Sector”, creating the Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment – (“RTE”), as a mechanism to compensate the losses incurred by the companies of the electrical sector due to the Energy Rationing Program. RTE is being used for compensation of the following registered assets of subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga: Extraordinary Tariff Adjustment (Loss of Revenue), Electricity from Independent Suppliers and Parcel “A”.

The established period to recover the regulatory assets related to the RTE and Electricity from Independent Suppliers by the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga, are 72 and 61 months, respectively, counted as from January 1, 2002, according to Regulatory Resolution No. 1 issued by ANEEL on January 12, 2004 (re-issued on June 1, 2004). After the recovery of these assets, compensation of the values related to Parcel “A” will also begin through the RTE mechanism.

Periodically, projections are prepared considering the subsidiaries’ market increase, expected inflation and interest rates, as well as regulatory issues. Management relies on these studies to determine the need to classify the balances between current and long-term, and to recognize allowances for losses, in case of the risk associated with the realization of these assets. As of September 30, 2004, management did not identify the need for recognition of relevant allowances for losses.


The amounts related to the rationing effects in the consolidated financial statements, as well as the respective changes from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004, are as follows:

  Consolidated
 
Description RTE Electricity from Independent Suppliers Assets Electricity from Independent Suppliers Liability Parcel “A”

Balances as of September 30, 2004 673,860 303,753 326,414 384,047
 



b) Periodical Tariff Revision:

CPFL Paulista

The provisional tariff adjustment of Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz, in force as from April 7, 2003, was 19.55%, according to Resolution No. 166 homologated by Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica – ANEEL. Later, through Resolution No. 72, also provisionally homologated by ANEEL, this tariff adjustment was changed to 21.1% as from April 7, 2004.

The difference arising from this change has been compensated through the tariff adjustment in force as from April 8, 2004, and the respective balance was recorded under current assets in the amount of R$ 25,749, on September 30, 2004.

The final value will be established with the definitive of the Regulatory Reintegration Quota, and Regulatory Remuneration Base, as disposed in ANEEL Resolution No. 493, issued on September 3, 2002.

CPFL Piratininga

In October 2003, through Resolution No. 565, ANEEL determined the tariff adjustment for subsidiary CPFL Piratininga as 18.08%. In order to keep the principle of reasonable prices for tariffs, and the economical balance of the concession agreement, the increase authorized for tariffs (“Modicidade Tarifária”) was 14.68%. The difference between these percentages was being recognized as an asset on CPFL Piratininga financial statements since 2003, according to instructions of ANEEL Circular Letter No. 267/2004– SFF-ANEEL, to be recovered during the next three annual tariff adjustments. However, on October 18, 2004, through Resolution No.245, ANEEL provisionally reduced the referenced tariff adjustment from 18.08% to 10.51%. The difference in revenue caused by the reduction of the tariff reposition of 2003, from 14.68% to 10.51%, will be financially compensated in the tariff adjustment to be made effective in October 2005.

Therefore, in this third quarter, subsidiary CPFL Piratininga made adjustments to reflect the new percentage defined. The effects of these adjustments were: (i) reversal of the regulatory asset arising from the increase from 14.68% to 18.08%, accounted for under “Consumers, Concessionaires and Permittees”, in the amount of R$ 74,765 on September 30, 2004, (ii) recognition of a regulatory liability relating to the reduction from 14.68% to 10.51%, in the amount of R$ 64,100. The total adjustments were R$ 138,865.

These adjustments in CPFL Piratininga resulted in a reversal of income recognized in the nine-month period and in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, in the reversal of the regulatory asset recognized until December 31, 2003 and in provision for values invoiced since October 2003, as follows:

  Nine month period ended September 30, 2004 Quarter ended September 30, 2004
 

Reversal of the regulatory asset recognized until December 31, 2003 13,798 13,798
Reversal of the regulatory asset recognized during the first half of 2004 - 39,244
Recognition of regulatory liability related to energy billed until September 30,2004 64,100 64,100
 

77,898 117,142
 

RGE

Through the Resolution No. 92 of April16, 2004, ANEEL established the final tariff adjustment of Rio Grande Energia S.A. in 27.96%, in replacement of the provisional tariff adjustment of 27.36% determined on April 18, 2003. This tariff difference has been compensated by the adjustment granted by ANEEL as from April 19, 2004, of 14.37%.

The tariff adjustments of the subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga are still in process of final validation and homologation by the regulatory agency. Therefore, possible adjustments may occur once the final tariff adjustment of these Companies is concluded.

c) Recoverable Cost Variations – Parcel “A” (CVA)

This refers to a mechanism for offsetting the variations occurred in unmanageable costs incurred by the concessionaires of electric power distribution. The compensation of these amounts occurs on an annual basis, after each subsequent annual tariff adjustments.

Through the Interministerial Rule No. 116/2003, the compensation of the accumulated balance of the Recoverable Cost Variations Account of Itens of Parcel “A” (CVA) for the annual tariff adjustments occurred between April 8, 2003, and April 7, 2004 was postponed for 12 months, and should be compensated in the twenty-four months subsequent to the tariff adjustments that occur between April 8, 2004 and April 7, 2005.

d) PIS and COFINS

The balance of R$ 26,263 in the consolidated balance, recorded under Noncurrent Assets, refers to the difference between PIS and COFINS costs effectively incurred resulting from application of the current legislation and those incorporated to the tariff. ANEEL in its Official Letter No. 1632, states that it is favorable to the understanding that the transfer to tariffs, of the changes in the PIS and COFINS legislation is an unquestionable right of the concessionaire, informing also that such amounts recorded by the concessionaire shall only be recognized by ANEEL and transferred to the tariffs after review and approval by that agency. The amounts shall be adjusted for inflation and incorporated to the tariffs in a period yet to be defined, after validation by ANEEL.

Subsidiary CPFL Piratininga recorded the amount of R$ 2,555 under Long-term Liabilities, as result of recognition of the provision related to the negative difference of R$ 64,100, corresponding to the financial compensation that will occur with the annual tariff adjustment of October 23,2005, as mentioned in item b) above.

e) PERCEE – Emergency Program for Reduction of Electric Energy Consumption

Refers to the balance to be recovered as a result of expenses incurred with the rationing program.

The Company’s consolidated balances as of September 30 and June 30, 2004 present balances related to these regulatory assets and liabilities as shown in the table below:

As of June 30, 2004, there was a modification in the criteria for amortization of goodwill on the acquisitions of RGE (by CPFL Paulista), CPFL Piratininga (by Draft I) and SEMESA (by CPFL Geração), which was previously made under the straight-line method over a 10-year period. Starting with the balances of December 31, 2003 this goodwill has been amortized proportionally the projected net income curves for the remaining period of the concession contract of RGE and CPFL Piratininga, and for the remaining period of the lease contract of SEMESA. This procedure was adopted consistently with that described in Note 13, as for amortization of goodwill arising from mergers of controlling companies. The effect of the change in the criteria , for the accumulated period of 2004, was a reduction in goodwill amortization expense in the amount of R$ 78,776 in the consolidated.

Labor: Refer to filed labor lawsuits. In the consolidated, in accordance with the terms of the spin-off of Bandeirante, Piratininga is liable for obligations related to contingent risks of employees located in the respective regions it assumed, whereas obligations arising from lawsuits relating October 1, 2001, to the period prior to the spin-off date are assumed in the proportional percentage of the owners before the separation (56% for Bandeirante and 44% for Piratininga).

Personal injury: principally represent claims for indemnities, whose chances of loss are considered probable.

Tariff increase: The claims relating to these lawsuits were brought by industrial consumers alleging that certain tariff increases during a price freeze when Regulations No. 38 and 45/1986 imposed by the Brazilian government from March to November 1986 (the “Cruzado Economic Plan period”) were illegal.

Energy purchased: as a result of the loss of several consumers, Paulista and Piratininga requested from ANEEL a reduction in the capacity demand determined in their initial supply contracts, which was partially granted by ANEEL through Resolution No. 552/ 2003. These energy suppliers filed a lawsuit since they do not agree with the reduction in volume of energy determined by ANEEL. The amounts relating to this reduction have been deposited in an escrow account.

Due to the devial of the injunction in the quarter, the opposing parties were authorized to draw part of the judicial deposits, which was written-off by subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga against the reserve for contingencies, in the amounts of R$ 21,025 and R$ 29,090, respectively.

FINSOCIAL: refers to a challenge in court of payment of FINSOCIAL (tax on revenue) for the period from June 1989 to October 1991. CPFL Paulista obtained injunctions for the nonpayment of these taxes, by making an escrow deposit. Escrow deposits are recorded under the caption “Escrow Deposits”, in long-term assets, and are restated using the Daily Reference Rate (TRD) index.

COFINS and PIS: refers to a challenge in court regarding the inclusion of financial and nonoperating income in the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS (taxes on revenue). CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and DRAFT I obtained an injunction to pay these taxes in accordance with the previous legislation. Awaiting a final ruling on this matter, the Company and its subsidiaries have recorded a provision for the amounts in dispute.

Other: refers to other lawsuits and administrative proceedings before various courts arising from the ordinary course of business involving mainly tax matters relating to IR (Income Tax), INSS (Social Security), FGTS (Severance Pay Fund), and SAT (Labor Accident Insurance).

Possible Losses: The Company and its subsidiaries are also party to lawsuits for which a favorable outcome is classified as possible. In connection with these lawsuits, the Company’s management, based on the advice of external counsel, believes that the Company has a solid defense.

However, there is not a consistent trend in decisions issued by Brazilian courts or any decisions from the Brazilian superior courts that would enable the Company to classify losses in respect of the related claims as either probable or remote. Claims relating to possible losses as of September 30, 2004 are as follows: (i) claims relating to several labor lawsuits amounting to approximately R$ 54,424 in the consolidated; (ii) claims relating to civil litigation, principally related to personal injury, in the amount of approximately R$ 39,809 in the consolidated; and (iii) claims relating to tax litigation, principally related to income tax and PIS and COFINS taxes, amounting to approximately R$ 31,470 in the consolidated.

Management’s of CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and RGE, based on the opinion of their legal counsels, believe that there are no significant risks not covered by sufficient reserves in their financial statements and that could have a significant impact on their future results.

In the consolidated, the Company has registered court-ordered frozen bank accounts in the amount of R$ 22,283 basically related to labor lawsuits.

29 - Financial Instruments

CONSIDERATIONS ON RISKS

The Company’s and subsidiaries’ business principally includes the supply of energy to final consumers, as concessionaires of public services, whose activities and tariffs are regulated by ANEEL. The principal market risk factors that affect the Companies’ business are as follows:

Exchange rate risk: This risk arises from the possibility that the subsidiaries may incur losses and cash restrictions due to exchange rate fluctuations, which would increase the balances of liabilities in foreign currency. In order to protect against that risk, the subsidiaries have contracted hedge/swap operations so that their debts are indexed to domestic index variations. These operations are recorded under the accrual basis of accounting and in conformity with the conditions of the instrument contracted.

Interest rate risk: This risk originates from the possibility that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur losses due to interest rate fluctuations, which would increase the financial expenses related to loans and financing obtained abroad. For loans in foreign currency, the subsidiaries have contracted derivative instruments to hedge against this risk (see swaps related to Floating Rate Notes, as discussed above), and for part of the loans in local currency, the subsidiaries have regulatory assets adjusted based on the Selic rate.

Credit risk: The risk arises from the possibility that subsidiaries may incur losses due to the difficulty in receiving amounts billed to their customers. This risk is considered low by the Company and its subsidiaries in view of the dispersion in the number of customers and the policy of collection and supply cuts to delinquent customers.

Energy shortage risk: The energy sold by the subsidiaries is basically generated by hydroelectric power plants. A long period of rainfall shortage can reduce the volume of water in reservoirs of power plants, thus resulting in losses due to the increase in costs for purchasing energy or reduction of revenue with the adoption of a new rationing program, as occurred in 2001. Based on the current level of reservoirs, the National Electric System Operator (ONS) does not expect a new rationing program in the foreseeable future.

Risk of debt acceleration: The Company and its subsidiaries have loan, financing and debenture contracts that include covenants that are usually adopted for these operations, for compliance with economic and financial ratios, cash generation and other. These covenants were complied with and do not limit the capacity of conducting normal operations.

EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company and its subsidiaries have operating and financial policies and strategies aiming to obtain asset liquidity, security and profitability. Accordingly, they adopt procedures for controlling and following up on transactions and financial instrument balances in order to monitor risks and applicable rates in relation to those of the market.

As of September 30, 2004, the principal financial instruments for assets and liabilities of the Companies, as well as the criteria adopted for their valuation in the financial statements, are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Comprise cash, banks, and temporary cash investments. The market value of these assets approximate the amounts reflected in the balance sheet.

Regulatory assets and liabilities: Basically composed of extraordinary tariff adjustment, electricity from independent suppliers, parcial “A”, tariff adjustment differential and CVA. These credits and charges arise from the effects of the 2001 rationing plan and other amounts related to the deferral of costs and tariffs. These amounts are stated based on criteria defined by ANEEL, according to the characteristics described in Notes 3, 5 and 8.

Loans and financing: Evaluated in compliance with the criteria contractually established, in accordance with the characteristics set forth in Note 15. As described above, as of September 30, 2004, the subsidiaries had swap instruments for loans denominated in foreign currency and subject to international interest rates. These instruments have the purpose of hedging operations, reducing risks from exchange variation and international interest rates, not being used for speculative purposes.

Debentures: Debentures issued by the Company and its subsidiaries are not traded in the market. They are evaluated in accordance with the criteria established upon issuance, based on the characteristics set forth in Note 15.

Investments in subsidiaries: the Company has investments carried under the equity method in subsidiaries whose shares are traded in the capital market. Management believes that the trading value of these shares does not represent the market value of the respective companies since the volume of market transactions of these companies is small.

The estimate of market value of the financial instruments of the Company was calculated based on discount models of future cash flows brought to current value, comparison with similar transactions contracted with dates near the Quarterly Information and comparisons with average market parameters. For transactions for which there were no similar in the market, especially those relative to the energy rationing program, the Company assumed that the market value was represented by the respective book value.

The book and fair values of the financial instruments (Company and consolidated) as of September 30, 2004, are as follows:

  Company Consolidated
 

  Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value
 



Loans and financing (Note 15) 222,300  328,493  3,185,926  3,239,608 
Debentures (Note 15) 787,892  787,892  2,782,361  2,704,519

30 – Relevant Facts

a)

Participation Agreement in the New Market

The New Market (“Novo Mercado”) is a special listing segment of The Stock Exchange of the State of São Paulo – BOVESPA to negotiate shares issued by companies that voluntarily committed themselves to adopt “corporate governance practices” and disclosures that go beyond those required by law. On August 25, 2004, CPFL Energia signed the "Participation Agreement in the New Market” with BOVESPA.


 

The inclusion of CPFL Energia in the New Market means also the adhesion to a set of corporate rules. These rules, which are consolidated in the Listing Regulation, expand the rights of the shareholders, improve the quality of information usually disclosed by the companies, and, since the decision upon the resolution of disputes is made by an Arbitration Chamber, they offer to investors the assurance of a more agile and specialized alternative.

BOVESPA instituted a Market Chamber of Arbitration, based on the provisions of Law No. 9,307/1996.

The purpose of the Market Chamber of Arbitration is to solve any possible disputes that may arise.

In this context, the creation of the Market Chamber of Arbitration provides an adequate forum for discussion of issues related to Corporate Law, companies By-laws, rules issued by the National Monetary Council, by the Brazilian Central Bank, by CVM (Brazilian SEC) and to the regulations of BOVESPA and other rules applicable to the operation of the securities market in general. Other issues that may be resolved by arbitration are those contained in the New Market Listing Regulation, Regulation of Differentiated Practices of Corporate Governance and in the corresponding Agreement.

By means of its own rules, the Market Chamber of Arbitration may provide to the participants of the referred segments, that is, BOVESPA, publicly owned companies, their controllers and administrators, members of the audit committee and their shareholders, an alternative for solution of disputes, with the advantage of being much more agile and economic, having less formalities, in addition to counting with arbiters specialized in the issues to be decided upon.


b)

Methodology for calculating the differences in Low-Income Consumer’s revenue

ANEEL submitted to a public hearing by July 30, 2004, through the exchange of documents and information, a proposed resolution to improve the methodology for calculating the difference in electric energy distributors’ revenue, resulting from the application of new criteria for classification of residential consumers units as Low-Income Consumers, as provided for in Law No. 10,438/2002.

Accordingly, the amounts of the subsidy to electric energy distributors, which are approved by ANEEL, must be adjusted upon publication of the final text of the calculation methodology for the differences in revenue from low-income consumers.


 

Management believes that the impact of the eventual rules modification related to low-income consumers and the final approval by ANEEL of the amounts to be recorded under this caption will not have material effects in the Company’s financial position and statements of operations.

After the realization of public hearing, ANEEL is analyzing the proposals presented, in order to issue its final resolution.


c)

Regulation under the New Industry Model Law

Sales of Electric Power and Granting of Concessions


On July 30, 2004, the Brazilian Government enacted Decree No. 5,163, which (i) regulates the trading of electric energy in the Free and Regulated Markets, and (ii) regulates the process of granting concessions and authorizations for electricity generation projects. The decree principally addresses the following:

• General rules for trading electric energy;

• Trading of electric energy in the Regulated Market (including rules on information and declarations regarding electric energy needs, auctions to purchase electric energy, electric energy purchase and sale agreements and the pass through of costs to final consumers);

• Trading of electric energy in the Free Market;

• Accouting for and clearing of electricity transactions in theMAE; and

• Concession grants.


Energy Industry Monitoring Committee – CMSE

On August 9, 2004, the Brazilian Government issued Decree No.5,175 creating the Energy Industry Monitoring Committee - CMSE, which shall be directed and coordinated by the MME and formed by representatives of ANEEL, of the National Oil Regulatory Agency (ANP), Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), Energy Research Company (EPE) and National Operators of the Electric System (ONS). The main attributions of the CMSE shall be (i) follow-up on the activities of the energy sector, (ii) evaluate the supply and service conditions to the electric power market and (iii) prepare and propose preventive or corrective actions for maintenance or restoration of the safety in the supply and service to the electrical power market, sending these to the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE).

Energy Trading Chamber - CCEE

MAE shall be terminated and its activities and assets shall be absorbed by the new CCEE within ninety (90) days of the publication of Decree No. 5,177, as of August 12, 2004.

According to the decree mentioned, CCEE shall be organized as a private limited entity, regulated and inspected by ANEEL.

The purpose of CCEE is to enable the sale of electric power in the Interconnected National System, promoting, when authorized by ANEEL, auctions for the purchase and sale of electric power. The CCEE shall be responsible, among other things, for (i) registering all the energy purchase and sale agreements in the Regulated Market (CCEAR) and the agreements resulting from the auctions adjustment, as well as the volume of electricity contracted in the Free Market (ACL), and (ii) the accounting and settlement of short-term transactions.

The CCEE will be comprised of holders of concessions, permissions and authorizations in the electricity industry and free consumers. Its Board of Directors will be comprised of five members, four of which will be appointed by these agents and one by the MME, which will be its Chairman.

Energy Research Company – EPE

On August 16, 2004 through Decree No. 5,184, the Brazilian Government created the Energy Research Company – EPE and approved its Bylaws. EPE is a state-owned company, responsible for the conduction of studies and researches to help the planning activities of the energetic sector, including the electric power, oil, natural gas and its derivatives, mineral coal, renewable energetic sources, as well as on the area of energetic efficiency. The studies and researches developed by EPE will provide subsidies for the formulation, planning and the implementation of actions of the MME in the sphere of national energetic policy.

In view of the recent issuance of laws, its comprehensiveness and complexity, in addition to supplementary rules to be regulated by ANEEL, the Company is evaluating the impacts of the new regulation on its business.

31 – Subsequent Events

a)

Public Offering of Shares

On October 4, 2004, the Company concluded the Initial Public Offering, through the public distribution of 39,579,729 new common shares, without par value, denominated “Primary Distribution”, and simultaneous distribution of 7,915,950 common shares owned by the Selling Shareholders, denominated “Secondary Distribution”, both at the unit price of R$ 17,22, totaling R$ 817,875, From this total, the amount of R$ 681,563 was paid up as capital stock of CPFL Energia.

This offer was made in the national and international market; the shares of the Brazilian Offer were listed at Bovespa, and those of the International Offer, in the form of ADS (each ADS corresponds to three (3) common shares), were listed in the NYSE (“New York Stock Exchange”). Therefore the Company must now comply with both the requirements of CVM (Brazilian SEC) and those of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Current Capital Stock Structure

According to the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on August 13, 2004, the capital stock amounts to R$ 3,397,386 composed of 411,869,796 common shares.

After the conclusion of the Initial Public Offering the capital stock shall amount to R$ 4,078,949 composed of 451,449,525 common shares.

The table below shows the number of Common Shares held by the shareholders of the Company as of September 30, 2004, and after conclusion of the Initial Public Offering on October 4, 2004:

Total 411,869,796  100.00% 451,449,525  100.00%
 




Expenses Related to the Offer

An underwriting commission of 4% is owed by the Company, on the value of the capital stock increase obtained with this initial public offering. All other expenses related to the offer are in final process of calculation by the Company. During the last quarter of this fiscal period, the Company will segregate these values, which will be recorded as deferred assets and expenses, considering the value of the capital stock increase that will be applied to the generation projects in progress and other investments, and the amount of resources that will be allocated as working capital.

Corporate Approval

The authorization for increasing the capital stock of the Company and to carry out the Primary Distribution, as well as the resolution on the number of common shares to be issued were approved in the Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on September 2, 2004.

The capital increase and corresponding decision on the Shares issue price were approved in the Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on September 28, 2004.

International Finance Corporation Covenants

The loan obtained by the Company from the IFC is subject to certain restrictions, one of which refers to the realization of a "Qualified” Initial Public Offering, which was not complied with by the Company. In a letter received on October 28, 2004, the IFC states the non-exercise of the “Prepayment right of the debt”, mentioned in Item 3.06(b) of the “Investment Agreement” executed between the parties on June 25, 2003, for exercise as from November 1st, 2004.

Supplementary Issuance of Shares

As foreseen in the Distribution Agreement (“International Purchase Agreement”), the Leader Coordinator was granted an option for acquisition of a supplementary lot of Shares, limited to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of shares initially offered in the context of the International Offer. On October 28, 2004, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated exercised their option for acquisition of 59,748 ADS, represented by 179,244 common shares. Thus, the Company will issue the common shares mentioned, at the same price and under the same conditions of the ADS initially offered, in order to increase the capital stock of the Company by R$ 3,087.

b)

Redemption of Debentures / Payment of Loans

On October 1, 2004, the Company fully redeemed the 72,199 debentures issued on April 1, 2003, totaling R$ 788,449 and, on October 4, 2004 it also paid in full the loan taken on May 21,2004 from Banco Itaú / BBA totaling R$ 106,366. As of September 30, 2004 the total of these debts represented approximately 88% of the total indebtedness of the Company, in the amount of R$ 1,010,192.


c)

Transfer of Share Ownership among Shareholders

In the notice to the market published on October 21, 2004, the Company and the shareholder VBC Energia S.A., informed the transfer of 8,920,744 common shares issued by the Company and owned by shareholder VBC Energia, to shareholder BNDESPAR Participações S.A., representing 1.98% of the capital stock of CPFL Energia. The share ownership of VBC Energia and BNDESPAR are now 37.70% and 5.10%, respectively.


d)

Periodical Tariff Revision for 2003 in CPFL Piratininga

The estimated difference of income, between the tariff reposition of 14.68% applied on October 23, 2003, and the tariff reposition of 10.51% in the amount of R$ 64,100 should be financially compensated by recalculating the final tariff adjustment to be made on October 23, 2005.


e)

Tariff Adjustment for 2004 in CPFL Piratininga

The Regulatory Agency ANEEL, through Resolution No. 246 of October 18, 2004, approved the adjustment of tariffs for the supply of electric power by CPFL Piratininga by 14.00%, of which 10.51% related to the annual tariff adjustment and 3.49% related to tariff financial components, external to the annual adjustment. This adjustment shall be effective for the period of October 23, 2004 to October 22, 2005.


f)

Incorporation of Draft I Participações S.A.

In view of the publication on October 18, 2004, of ANEEL Resolution No. 245, (refer to letter “d” above) that entailed changes in the accounting balances of September 30, 2004, which reflected on corporate documents previously disclosed, the Company issued a Notice to Shareholders in October 28, 2004 canceling the General Meeting of the Shareholders called for October 29, 2004, to decide upon the incorporation of Draft I Participações S.A. by CPFL Piratininga; the meeting will be reconvened later, during the month of November 2004.

05.01 COMMENTS ON PERFORMANCE OF THE QUARTER

CPFL Energia, as a non-operating holding company, does not have its own cash generation. Therefore, to manage its investments, it depends directly on the results of the operations of its subsidiaries, on its shareholder’s funds and those obtained in the financial market.

There was an improvement in the results of the quarter, when compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly due to the better financial results and in those of the companies in which it holds a share interest, as follows:

Interest Expense

The net interest expense in the third quarter of 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003, presents a positive variation in the amount of R$ 38,687, composed as follows:

  2004  2003 
 

Financial Income 3rd Quarter Nine Months 3rd Quarter Nine Months
 



Income from Cash Investments 17,158  30,312 
Income from Loan Agreements 2,797  9,288  3,601  5,442

Adjustment for Inflation 3,129  (5,694) (135)
Other (1,943) (6,106) (252) (7,906)
 



Total (41,351) (130,813) (61,645) (255,929)
Interest on Shareholders' Equity 52,110 
 



Financial Expenses, net (18,428) (35,778) (57,114) (247,915)
 



The income from cash investments in the third quarter of 2004, in the amount of R$ 17,158, was mostly due to the cash available in 2004 as a result of the capitalization in October of 2003 and the incoming resources from dividends and interest on shareholder’s equity received in the quarter.

The reduction of 44.54% in the charges on debts in the 3rd quarter of 2004, is due to the smaller variation of the main index applied to the Company’s debts (CDI).

Income from Share Interest:

The income from share interest is related to the performance of the subsidiary companies as shown below:

Operating Revenues

The operating revenues in the third quarter of 2004, in the amount of R$ 2,359,917 (R$ 2,082,342 in the same period of the previous year) shows an increase of 13.33%. In the accumulated this variation was 19.67% when compared with the income of R$ 6,996,464 on September 30, 2004 (R$ 5,846,599 on September 30, 2003).

The facts that caused the variation in the quarter were mainly the tariff adjustments occurred in April 2004 for subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and RGE and compensated by the adjustments in the quarter related to the change in the tariff revision of October 2003 of the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga.

For CPFL Paulista, the tariff adjustment established was 13.6%, plus an additional percentage of 1.3% referring to the adjustment of the tariff applied in 2003. A similar fact occurred with RGE for which, in addition to the tariff adjustment of 14.4% for the period, an additional percentage of 0.47% was established. For CPFL Paulista the establishment of the adjustments were provisional and are still pending homologation by the regulatory agency ANEEL.

In October 2003, through Resolution No. 565, ANEEL stipulated that the tariff adjustment for CPFL Piratininga would be 18.08%. In order to keep the principle of reasonable prices for tariffs and the economical balance of the concession agreement, the increase authorized for tariffs was 14.68%. The difference between these percentages was being provisioned since 2003, according to instructions of ANEEL Circular Letter nr. SFF-267/2004, and its recovery was foreseen for the next three annual tariff adjustments. However on October 18, 2004, through Resolution nr. 245, ANEEL provisionally reduced the referenced tariff adjustment from 18.08% to 10.51%. The difference of revenue caused by the reduction of the tariff reposition, from 14.68% to 10.51%, will be financially compensated in the tariff adjustment to be made in October 2005.

Therefore, in this third quarter, CPFL Piratininga made adjustments to reflect the new percentage defined. The effects of these adjustments were: (i) the reversal of the regulatory assets arising from the increase from 14.68% to 18.08% accounted under consumers caption in the amount of R$ 74,765, (ii) constitution of provision related to the reduction from 14.68% to 10.51% in the amount of R$ 64,100, and (iii) tax effects of these adjustments in the amount of R$ 56,537, totaling a net negative effect in the consolidated results in the amount of R$ 82,328. These amounts consider the effects of the application of tariffs defined in October 2003 by ANEEL until September 30, 2004. However, for accounting purposes, as shown in the Note No. 3 to the Interim Financial Statements, the income of 2004 is canceled in the same period so that the accounting adjustments processed before tax effects were R$ 117,142 and R$ 77,898, in the quarter and in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

In addition to the effects of tariff adjustments, the increase in the total supply of electric power also contributed to the increase in revenues. The total electric power supplied to final consumers in this quarter was 9,091 GWh compared to 8,552 GWh for the same period in 2003 (increase of 6.3%).For the residential class, there was an increase of 3.0% in the quantity distributed in this quarter, compared to the same period in 2003, mostly reflecting the increase in consumers in the concession area. This growth was not greater because the average temperature in the months of July and August was lower than in the same period in 2003. This drop in temperature affected also the business consumers, especially shopping malls and supermarkets that use air conditioning in their places of business. However, due to the improvement in the sales of the retail business, there was a growth of 7.8% in the quantities distributed. There was an increase in consumption of the industries, which justifies the increase of 8.3% in the power distribution volume. The other classes of consumption, that represent 13.5% of the total power distributed by the Company and its subsidiaries in this quarter, recorded a growth of 3.5% when compared with the same period in 2003.

Some consumers that left subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and CPFL Piratininga, having opted for the free market, because they continue interconnected to the distribution system of the subsidiaries, are invoiced for the use of the electric network. Therefore, in addition to the revenue from final consumers, we should analyze also our revenues from the use of the electric network (TUSD) that totaled R$ 60,388 (R$ 9,305 for the same period in 2003). It should be noted that these consumers were mostly contracted by subsidiary CPFL Brasil, and this has improved our margins.

Deductions From Operating Revenues

The deductions from operating revenues in the quarter were R$ 627,994, 25.3% higher when compared to the value of R$ 501,129 obtained in the same period of the previous year. This increase is due to the tariff adjustment occurred in April 2004 in subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and RGE, and in October 2003 in subsidiary Piratininga, that increased invoicing of the electric power, and due to the changes in the legislation of the PIS and COFINS, that substantially affected the payment of these taxes by the Company. These changes were: (i) increase in the rates of the COFINS from 3.0% to 7.6% as from February 2004, (ii) changes in the criteria for assessment of the PIS and COFINS, as from August 2004, when it was no longer allowed to deduct from the calculation base the interest expenses, depreciation until May 2004, and also the change in the taxing criteria of interest income, which, except for the interest on shareholders capital hedge, has now 0% rate.

Energy Cost

Electricity Purchased For Resale

The costs with Electricity Purchased For Resale before deferred costs variations (CVA) in this quarter were R$ 830,830 (R$ 767,281 in the same quarter of the previous year) with an increase of 8.3%. This increase is associated to the adjustment of the tariffs applied to the purchases of energy reflecting (i) the transfer of the increase in the generation costs and variations of the IGP-M and (ii) the replacement of the energy of the initial supply contracts for one that is more expensive. Except for the energy supplied by Itaipu, the increase in the average prices of energy purchases comparing the quarters was 8.6%. The average price of the energy from Itaipu, that represents 24.8% of the energy acquired in the quarter, increased about 2.8% mainly due to the effects of exchange variation. In addition, this effect is being impacted by the higher quantity of energy purchased (1.6%), which was not greater due to the reduction in the quantity of energy sold to distributors or other agents, including the Wholesale energy market (MAE).

The variation existing in the deferred costs variations (CVA) for energy purchased for resale (expensed at R$ 48,665 in the 3rd quarter of 2003, and R$ 34,678 in the same period in 2004), was mainly due to the effects of exchange variation on the energy purchased from Itaipu by the distributors. After these effects, the balance of energy purchased for resale in this quarter is now R$ 865,508 (R$ 815,946 for the same period in 2003) representing an increase of 6.1%.

In the accumulated of the period, in addition to the effects previously discussed, we recognized R$ 67,536 in June, 2004 referring to the purchase of energy made by the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga, during the Rationing Program that will be transferred to the generation plants, as determined by ANEEL. After this effect, the balance of this caption in the accumulated amounts to R$ 2,535,362 (R$ 2,237,163 in the accumulated period of the previous year).

Electricity Network Usage Charges

The costs arising from the electricity network usage charges before deferral of tariff costs (CVA) were R$ 175,741 for the quarter ended on September 30, 2004 (R$ 130,930 in the same quarter of the previous year) with an increase of 34.2%. This increase mainly reflects the adjustment of the tariffs applied.

The variation existing in the deferred costs variations (CVA) in this quarter (debit in the result of R$ 37,197 for credit of R$ 17,677), is mainly due to the amortization of CVA referring to the Basic Network and System Service Charges (ESS), that were created in 2003. After these effects, the balance of Electricity network usage charges in this quarter is now R$ 212,938 (R$ 113,253 in the same period of the previous fiscal period).

Operating Cost/Expenses

The costs and operating expenses in this quarter were R$ 473,143 (R$ 490,545 in the quarter of the previous period) representing a decrease of 3.6% and the amount of R$ 1,333,381 in the accumulated in the period in 2004 (R$ 1,407,280 in the accumulated of the previous period) representing a decrease of5.3%. The main variations were on the following captions:

Personnel

Payroll costs in the current quarter amounted to R$ 72,235 (R$ 63,896 in the same quarter in the previous period) representing an increase of 13,1 % mainly due to the renewal of the collective labor agreement in the subsidiaries.

Employee Pension Plans

The total amount in this quarter was R$ 53,697 (R$ 76,340 in the same period of the previous quarter), with a reduction of 29.7%, due to the accounting adjustments required by CVM Resolution 371 in fiscal year 2003, by subsidiaries CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and CPFL Geração.

Outside services

The amount of this caption in the current quarter was R$ 61,632 (R$ 50,646 in the same quarter in the previous period) representing an increase of 21.7% mostly due to the increase in the operations of CPFL Brasil.

Depreciation and Amortization

The amount of this caption in the current quarter was R$ 86,337 (R$ 156,039 in the same quarter of the previous period) with a decrease of 44.7%, due to the positive effect of the change in the criteria of the new amortization curve of the Goodwill of DOC 4 and DOC 3, that had their terms replaced from 10 years to the remaining period of their concessions, based on their projected net profit curve, as determined by ANELL through the Official Letter No. 912. The effect arising from this change in the quarter was a reduction of R$ 71,693 in expenses.

Fuel Usage Cost (CCC)/Energy Development Account (CDE)

The cost under this caption in the quarter, reached a balance of R$ 116,947 (R$ 85,905 in the same quarter of the previous period) presenting an increase of 36.1% in the period, mainly due to the adjustments applied to the quotas of the Fuel Usage Quota – (CCC) and of the Energy Development Account – CDE.

Income from Electric Utility Service

Income from electric utility service in the quarter were R$ 180,334 (R$ 161,469 in the quarter of the previous fiscal period) and the accumulated balance in the period of this fiscal year is R$ 800,159 (R$ 441,163 relative to the accumulated in the previous period).

The main factors that contributed to this increase, notwithstanding the negative effects of the change in the tariff review of CPFL Piratininga, were the tariff adjustments of the other subsidiaries, the increase in electric power distribution, reduction in costs and operating expenses and the positive effect of the change in the criteria of the new amortization curve of the Goodwill of DOC 4 and DOC 3.

Net Financial Income (Expense)

Net financial expense of R$ 150,170 was composed of R$ 111,420, of financial income and R$ 261,590 of financial expenses. For the same period in 2003, we had net expenses of R$ 236,124 composed of R$ 157,263 of financial income and R$ 393,387 of financial expenses.

Reduction of financial income in this quarter can be explained by (i) variation of the dollar over receivables - CESP and fund linked to loans in subsidiary CPFL Paulista, that resulted in negative exchange variation adjustment in 2004, having an opposite effect for the same period in 2003, (ii) reduction of the Selic rate based on which the regulatory assets are adjusted.

It is important to point out that both the assets that are dollar-denominated and those denominated in Selic rate have similar amounts recorded in Liabilities, partially compensating these effects in the net result. Exchange variation of receivables - CESP and linked fund is compensated in its major part, by the exchange variation of indebtedness of Resolution 63 that serves as a natural hedge. A similar fact happens with the regulatory assets adjusted by the Selic rate, due to the existence of debts with BNDES in almost the same amounts and same interest and monetary restatement conditions.

The reduction of interest expense in this quarter may be explained (i) by the decrease of the Selic rate, responsible for adjustment of the loans linked to the regulatory assets, as explained before, (ii) change in the amortization curve of the Goodwill for acquisition of RGE in subsidiary CPFL Paulista, acquisition of CPFL Piratininga in subsidiary Draft I and acquisition of SEMESA in subsidiary CPFL Geração, (iii) US dollar exchange rate variation, responsible for adjustment of indebtedness of Resolution 63, as discussed above and (iv) by the reduction of the CDI that remunerates a large part of the debts of the parent company and subsidiaries.

Social Contribution and Income Tax

In this quarter we have recorded expenses with social contribution and income tax in the amount of R$ 25,817, compared to an income of R$ 6,510 for the same period in 2003. The main reason for this effect is due to the profit situation in the current fiscal period that generated a positive calculation base with taxable income for the period.

Net Income (Loss) for the Fiscal Period

By the effects described above, the losses in this quarter of R$ 5,991 represent a significant recovery of the results in comparison to the same period in the previous fiscal year when losses of R$ 63,036 were recorded. Notwithstanding the effects of accounting adjustments related to the change of the tariff revision of Piratininga, we had a significant recovery in the quarter, mainly due to the tariff adjustments, to the increase in energy distribution, reduction of costs and operating expenses, reduction of interest expenses and the positive effect of the change in the criteria of the new curve of Goodwill amortization.

17.01 REPORT ON SPECIAL REVIEW- UNQUALIFIED

(Convenience Translation into English from the Original Previously Issued in Portuguese)

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholders and Management of
CPFL Energia S.A.
São Paulo – SP

1.

We have performed a special review of the accompanying interim financial information of CPFL Energia S.A. and subsidiaries (Company and Consolidated), consisting of the balance sheets as of September 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the quarter and nine-month period then ended and the performance report, all expressed in Brazilian reais and prepared in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices under the responsibility of the Company’s management.


2.

The interim financial information of the indirect subsidiary Rio Grande Energia S.A. – RGE as of and for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were reviewed by other independent auditors whose special review reports thereon were issued on October 21, 2004 and October 17, 2003, respectively. Those independent auditors have also reviewed the balance sheet of this indirect subsidiary as of June 30, 2004 and the respective special report was issued on July 20, 2004. Those special review reports included a qualification related to the deferral of net exchange losses.. The special review report on the interim financial information as of September 30, 2003, in addition to the qualification mentioned above, contained an emphasis paragraph on the receivables and payables arising from energy transactions made within the Wholesale Energy Market (MAE), whose financial settlement depended on the final approval from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) and authorization from MAE. Our review, insofar as it relates to (a) total assets of this indirect subsidiary as of September 30, 2004 and June 30, 2004, which represent 9.6% and 10.2%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets; (b) net income and net loss of this indirect subsidiary for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, which represent 6.8% and 5.3%, respectively, of the consolidated total balances, are based solely on the reports of those independent auditors.


3.

We conducted our review in accordance with specific standards established by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (IBRACON), together with the Federal Accounting Council, which consisted principally of (a) inquiries of and discussions with persons responsible for the accounting, financial and operating areas as to the criteria adopted in preparing the interim financial information, and (b) review of the information and subsequent events that had or might have had material effects on the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.


4.

Based on our special review and on the reports of the other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to in paragraph 1 for them to be in conformity with Brazilian accounting practices and standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), specifically applicable to the preparation of mandatory interim financial information.


5.

As mentioned in notes 12 and 13 to the interim financial information, in accordance with requirements from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) and CVM’s (Brazilian Securities Commission) approval, certain subsidiaries of the Company changed, retroactive to January 1, 2004, the percentage for amortization of goodwill on acquisition of investments and downstream mergers, from 10% per year to a variable annual percentage determined based on the future profitability projection during the remaining periods of their concessions. In addition, the balances of the goodwill arising from downstream mergers were reclassified from deferred charges to property, plant and equipment.


6.

As described in note 3, item b, to the interim financial information, the tariff reviews of the Company’s subsidiaries are in the following stages: (i) the tariff adjustment of Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz, effective April 7, 2003, was fixed at 19.55% on a provisional basis, according to ANEEL Resolution No. 166. This tariff adjustment was changed to 21.1% on April 7, 2004 through ANEEL Resolution No. 72, also on a provisional basis. This change was offset by the tariff adjustment effective April 8, 2004, with the respective balance being recorded in current assets in the amount of R$ 25,749,000 as of September 30, 2004; (ii) on October 22, 2003, ANEEL fixed, on a provisional basis, the tariff adjustment of Companhia Piratininga de Força e Luz at 18.08%. On October 18, 2004, ANEEL changed this tariff adjustment, also on a provisional basis, to 10.51%. This change resulted in a decrease in revenue as of September 30, 2004 in the amount of R$ 117,142,000, before tax effects, recorded in income for the quarter then ended. In connection with this adjustment, a regulatory asset in the amount of R$ 53,042,000 was reversed and a regulatory liability in the amount of R$ 64,100,000 was recorded in long-term liabilities, with expected settlement beginning as from the tariff adjustment of October 2005; (iii) ANEEL Resolution No. 92, of April 16, 2004, determined the tariff adjustment of Rio Grande Energia S.A. at 27.96%, on a definitive basis, replacing the provisional adjustment of 27.36% set on April 18, 2003. The tariff difference was offset by the adjustment authorized by ANEEL beginning April 19, 2004. The tariff adjustments of Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz and Companhia Piratininga de Força e Luz are still in the process of validation and definitive homologation by the regulatory agency. The interim financial information as of September 30, 2004 do not include adjustments that might result from the definitive resolution of the tariff adjustment for these Companies.


7.

As described in note 5 to the interim financial information, during 2002, 2003 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s subsidiaries adjusted the amounts related to energy transactions made within the Wholesale Energy Market (MAE), which were recorded from September 1, 2000 to December 31, 2002. After adjustments, the consolidated amounts totaled R$ 497,574,000 (sales) and R$ 184,623,000 (purchases and system service charges), and the net amount received, through September 30, 2004, totaled R$ 251,777,000. The subsidiaries entered into agreements with part of their debtors for receiving the remaining amounts. The renegotiated amount is R$ 4,813,000 (consolidated), representing 8% of the net amount receivable of R$ 61,174,000, related to transactions made by December 31, 2002. These amounts were recorded based on data prepared and provided by the MAE and on estimates made by the subsidiaries, and may be subject to changes that may arise from the judgment of the legal actions filed by electric energy companies, mostly regarding the interpretation of market rules prevailing in that period.


8.

We had previously reviewed the Company and consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2004, presented for comparative purposes, and our special review report thereon, dated July 23, 2004 contained emphasis paragraphs similar to paragraphs 5 and 7 above. The Company and consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was reviewed by us, and our special review report thereon, dated November 3, 2003, contained a qualification with respect to the deferral of net exchange losses, whose effect in the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 is not relevant, and an emphasis paragraph similar to paragraph 7 above.
