Supervisory Committee’s Report

 

To the Shareholders, Chairman and Directors of

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.)

 

Introduction

In accordance with both the provisions of section No. 294 of Law No. 19,550 and the regulations of the National Securities Commission (hereinafter “CNV”), we have performed a review of the accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.), which comprise the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2021, the statement of comprehensive (loss) income for the nine and three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes.

The balances and other information relating to fiscal year 2020 and its interim periods are an integral part of the previously mentioned financial statements and should therefore be considered in relation to those financial statements.

 

Board of Directors’ responsibility

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

 

 

 

Scope of our review

We have performed our review in accordance with current regulations, which require the application of the procedures established in International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 “Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity”, which was adopted as review standard in Argentina by Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE as it was approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), and include verification of the consistency of the documents subject to the review with the information on corporate decisions laid down in minutes, and whether such decisions comply with the law and the bylaws as to their formal and documentary aspects. In conducting our professional work, we have examined the work performed by the Company external auditors, Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L, who issued their report dated November 10, 2021. A review of interim financial information consists in making inquiries of Company staff responsible for the preparation of the information included in the condensed interim financial statements and in applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with international auditing standards, consequently, this review does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the Company’s financial position, comprehensive (loss) income or cash flows. We have not assessed the corporate management, financing, marketing or operating criteria, inasmuch as they are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

Conclusion

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

 

Emphasis of matter paragraph

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

 

Report on compliance with current regulations

In compliance with current regulations, we report, in connection with Edenor S.A., that:

a)    the condensed interim financial statements of Edenor S.A. as of September 30, 2021 comply, as to matters within the scope of our responsibility, with the provisions of the Business Organizations Law and the pertinent resolutions of the CNV;

b)    the condensed interim financial statements of Edenor S.A. arise from accounting records kept in all formal aspects in conformity with legal regulations, except for the lack of transcription of the Journal (transcription to the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book CD ROM months of July through September 2021); and

c)     we have complied with the provisions of section No. 294 of Law No. 19,550.

 

City of Buenos Aires, November 10, 2021.

 

Immediately afterwards, and upon consideration and discussion, the Supervisory Committee unanimously RESOLVES to approve the report proposed by Mr. Cvitanich, subject to the approval of the financial statements herein dealt with by the Board of Directors’ meeting called for today. Furthermore, the Committee’s Chairman is authorized to sign the report, as well as all the previously referred to documentation.

 

There being no further business to discuss, at the motion of Mr. Cvitanich, the meeting is adjourned at 10.41 a.m.

Carlos Cvitanich
