    2 Presentation of the Quarterly Information

The quarterly information featured in this report is in accordance with the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law, with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, set forth by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (Ibracon) and by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), with the specific legislation enacted by ANEEL, and with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

The consolidated quarterly information in this report comprise the parent company, the wholly-owned subsidiaries (COPEL Generation, COPEL Transmission, COPEL Distribution, COPEL Telecommunications, and COPEL Corporate Partnerships), as well as indirectly controlled investees (Companhia Paranaense de Gás – Compagas, Elejor – Centrais Elétricas do Rio Jordão S.A., COPEL Enterprises, UEG Araucária Ltda., and Centrais Eólicas do Paraná Ltda.).

The financial statements of Centrais Eólicas do Paraná Ltda. have been consolidated into COPEL’s statements as of this quarter.

The balance sheets and statements of income of the wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 are featured in Notes 45 and 46, reclassified for the purpose of ensuring consistency with the account classification adopted by COPEL.

The controlling companies’ investments in the shareholders’ equities of subsidiaries, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses arising from intercompany operations, have been eliminated upon consolidation, and the minority interests are shown separately, so that the consolidated financial statements effectively represent the balances of transactions with third parties.

All subsidiaries follow the accounting practices adopted by COPEL, and the main accounting practices adopted in the preparation of this quarterly information are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements as of December 31, 2006, except for the changes introduced by ANEEL Ruling no. 3,073, dated December 28, 2006.

b)

    7 CRC Transferred to the Government of the State of Paraná

Under an agreement dated August 4, 1994 and amended in December 1995, the remaining balance of the Recoverable Rate Deficit Account (CRC) was negotiated with the Government of the State of Paraná to be reimbursed in 240 monthly installments, restated by the General Price Index - Internal Availability (IGP-DI) plus annual interest of 6.65% . On October 1, 1997, the outstanding balance was renegotiated for payment in the following 330 months, under the Price amortization system, with the first installment due on October 30, 1997 and the last one due on March 30, 2025. The restatement and interest provisions of the original agreement remained unchanged.

By means of a fourth amendment dated January 21, 2005, the Company again renegotiated with the Government of Paraná the outstanding CRC balance as of December 31, 2004, in the amount of R$ 1,197,404 (original amount), to be paid in 244 installments under the Price amortization system, the first one due on January 30, 2005 and the others due in subsequent and consecutive months.

The renegotiated amount, in addition to the installments not yet due, includes the balance of the installment due in February 2003 and the installments due from March 2003 to December 2004, restated by the IGP-DI rate plus interest of 1% a month. The remaining provisions of the original agreement remained unchanged.

The State Government has been in compliance with the payments of the renegotiated installments according to the terms of the fourth amendment to the CRC agreement. Amortizations are secured by resources from dividends.

The table below features the changes in the CRC transferred to the Government of the State of Paraná:

a) Income tax and social contribution paid in advance

Amounts recorded as income tax and social contribution paid in advance refer mostly to amounts withheld and collected according to estimates during the period.

b) Deferred income tax and social contribution

The Company records deferred income tax calculated at the rate of 15%, plus an additional rate of 10%, and deferred social contribution at the rate of 9%.

The deferred taxes in connection with the pension plan deficit and the provision for the healthcare plan are being realized to the extent benefits are paid under each plan. The deferred taxes on the remaining provisions will be realized according to court decisions and to the realization of regulatory assets.

20


Under current tax legislation, tax losses and negative bases for social contributions may be offset against future taxable income, up to the limit of 30% of the taxable income for each year, and do not lapse.

Deferred tax credits have been recorded as follows:

Projected future income will be revised by management upon the approval of the financial statements for fiscal year 2007, in April 2008.

c) Tax recovery program - REFIS

On December 16, 2000, COPEL signed up for the Tax Recovery Program (REFIS), established by Law no. 9,964, dated April 10, 2000, in order to pay in 60 monthly and equal installments an outstanding debt to the National Social Security Institute (INSS) in the consolidated amount of R$ 82,540, retroactive to March 1, 2000.

The Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (SRF) included in the Company’s REFIS account, without COPEL’s agreement, income tax and social contribution claims in the amount of R$ 11,100, retroactively to the date of consolidation, March 1, 2000, thus raising total debt to R$ 93,640.

In September 2003, the Company, based on a legal opinion, set up a provision for the tax installments which hadn't been amortized until then. This provision, restated as of September 30, 2006, amounted to R$ 73,844, net, which corresponded to the restated balance of its REFIS account, taking into account amortizations and interest charges (TJLP).

On August 31, 2006, COPEL filed for withdrawal from REFIS, only so it could sign up for the new tax installment plan established by Provisional Measure no. 303/2006, called Special Installment Plan or PAEX. By doing so, COPEL can now take advantage of the benefits of this plan by paying off the outstanding debt in six installments, with an 80% discount off the penalties and a 30% discount off the interest due. The Company’s application was completed on September 14, 2006.

22


Meanwhile, COPEL filed a lawsuit disputing the SRF's claims, which, in the Company's understanding, where wrongly included in REFIS I. The SRF recognized the rights of COPEL, which won the lawsuit. Thus, the new installment plan includes only the remaining debt to INSS which was included in REFIS, i.e., net of payments already made, resulting in the amount, according to the INSS' initial calculation, of R$ 37,782, restated according to the SELIC interest rate, to be paid in six installments. These installments have already been paid. The INSS, however, reincluded in the PAEX account the amounts of interest which had been fully settled under REFIS I, in the amount of R$ 35,000. Nevertheless, the INSS has not offered any guarantees that their calculations are final, claiming that "final consolidation" of the debt has not been concluded yet.

Thus, in light of these circumstances, the Company maintained the provision in the amount of R$ 35,068 to cover the new INSS claim under PAEX.

    9 Account for Compensation of “Portion A” Variations

The Account for Compensation of “Portion A” Variations (CVA) records variations of the following Portion A cost items, as taken into account at the time of the annual rate reviews and as actually disbursed by companies during the year: Itaipu Binacional capacity rate; Itaipu Binacional power transport rate; Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) quota; rate for the use of Basic Network transmission facilities; Compensation for the Use of Water Resources; System Service Charges (ESS); Energy Development Account (CDE) quota; costs for purchase of power; and the power and cost-sharing quotas of the Program of Incentives for Alternative Energy Sources – Proinfa.

Under ANEEL Resolution no. 479/2007, COPEL Distribution was granted an average increase of -1.22% on its rates for sales to final customers, effective June 24, 2007. Out of this total, 2.24% correspond to the rate review index, and -3.46% to financial adjustments outside the range of the rate review. CVA is part of the latter group, amounting to R$ 146,393, and is made up of two installments: CVA for rate year 2006-2007, in the amount of R$ 92,985 and CVA balance from the previous year to be offset, in the amount of R$ 53,408.

    10 Other Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

ANEEL Approval Resolution no. 496, dated June 26, 2007, established the annual allowed revenues for power transmission utilities in return for the use of transmission facilities which are part of the Basic Network and of other transmission facilities, effective as of July 1, 2007.

However, the concession agreements signed by the transmission utilities listed on Resolution no. 166/2000 contain a clause which sets the date of July 1, 2005 as the date of the first periodic review of annual allowed revenues. The rate review was concluded and its results were approved on July 1, 2007, applicable retroactively to July 1, 2005, pursuant to the concession agreements. Thus, it became necessary to calculate the retroactive discrepancy for the period from 2005 to 2007, which has been treated as a “review adjustment share”.

This balance, which has been accrued by transmission utilities in connection with the period from 2005 to 2007, shall be offset over 24 months as of July 2007.

Pursuant to Resolution no. 496, there are different calculations applicable to the “connection point review adjustments” and to the “basic network review adjustments”, since only the local distribution utility is liable for basic network charges at exclusive connection points.

25


Thus, ANEEL calculated the “connection point review adjustment” share for all distribution utilities, which resulted in balance, as of September, of R$ 19,508 due by COPEL Distribution to COPEL Transmission. As far as the “basic network review adjustments", the application of COPEL Distribution's participation percentage to the total adjustment share resulted in the amount of R$ 8,895 to be collected from the remaining transmission utilities which underwent the rate review process.

These amounts will be taken into account in COPEL Distribution’s future rate reviews, and their effects have been recorded in the balance sheet, with no impact on the Company’s statement of income. The amounts, net of offsets with COPEL Transmission, totaled, as of September 30, 2007, a regulatory asset of R$ 28,403 and a regulatory liability of R$ 8,895, as shown below:

Judicial deposits, stated at nominal value, comprise funds deposited by COPEL to secure the execution of rulings in labor and civil lawsuits. Once there is a ruling in a lawsuit, execution proceedings take place. After being summoned to pay the amounts ruled by the court, COPEL makes a judicial deposit and may then dispute their calculation. After a ruling on the miscalculation claims, the court authorizes the plaintiff to withdraw from said deposit the amounts he or she is entitled to and authorizes COPEL to withdraw any remaining amounts the Company is entitled to on account of miscalculation, as the case may be.

a) Transferred financing and debentures

The Company transferred existing loans and financing to its wholly-owned subsidiaries at the time of their constitution in 2001. Nevertheless, since the agreements for transfer to the respective subsidiaries have not been formalized before the financial institutions, these amounts are also recorded under the Parent Company.

28


In the quarterly financial statements, the balances of these loans and financing are transferred with the same interest and charges agreed by the Parent Company and are shown separately as receivables from the wholly-owned subsidiaries, and as loans and financing liabilities owed by the subsidiaries, in the amount of R$ 85,786 (R$ 88,399 as of June 30, 2007) (Note 18).

b) Loan Agreement

On February 27, 2007, ANEEL approved the loan agreement to be signed by COPEL (lender) and COPEL Distribution (borrower), in the amount of R$ 1,100,000. This loan has a five-year term, bearing interest corresponding to 104% of the DI rate, and its funds will be used in the expenditure program for the concession and to the payment of debentures transferred to COPEL Distribution and due on March 1, 2007.

b) Interests in subsidiaries - goodwill

The investments in Sercomtel S.A. Telecomunicações and in Sercomtel Celular S.A. include goodwill on acquisition (R$ 42,289 and R$ 5,814), with net balances of R$ 2,625 and R$ 368, respectively. This goodwill is being amortized at the annual rate of 10%, with a charge to income of R$ 3,606 (R$ 3,171 + R$ 435) in the halves of 2007 and 2006. The payment of goodwill for Sercomtel S.A. Telecomunicações and for Sercomtel Celular S.A. was determined by the expected future profitability, resulting from the assessment of the return on investment based on discounted cash flows.

c) Elejor – Centrais Elétricas do Rio Jordão S.A.

The acquisition of the shares held by Triunfo Participações S.A., in December 2003, resulted in total goodwill of R$ 22,626, which corresponded to a balance of R$ 21,495 as of September 30, 2007. The linear amortization of goodwill was economically determined by the remaining time of the concession, which expires on October 2036 and whose effect on the statement of income as of September 30, 2007 is R$ 566 (R$ 377 as of September 30, 2006).

d) COPEL Enterprises

On May 31, 2006, COPEL Corporate Partnerships acquired El Paso Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda., which held a 60% interest in UEG Araucária Ltda., and changed its name to COPEL Enterprises (COPEL Empreendimentos Ltda.), resulting in net final goodwill of R$ 53,954 (R$ 52,195 as of September 30, 2007), whose amortization was determined by the remaining time of the concession, which expires in December 2029. In the first half, the linear goodwill amortization expense was R$ 1,759.

30


e) Centrais Eólicas do Paraná Ltda.

The Company, through COPEL Corporate Partnerships, held a 30% interest in Centrais Eólicas do Paraná (Ceopar). On September 6, 2007, COPEL acquired the remaining 70% interest held by Wobben Windpower Indústria e Comércio Ltda., thus becoming the holder of 100% of the share capital of Ceopar. This transaction resulted in a discount of R$ 592.

f) Dominó Holdings

Dominó Holdings S.A. is a company which owns 34.75% of the share capital of Companhia de Saneamento do Paraná – SANEPAR, a mixed capital company whose business comprises basic sanitation services, including water supply and sewage collection and treatment.

b) Special liabilities

Special liabilities comprise customers’ contributions, Federal Government budget grants, federal, State, and municipal funds, and special credits linked to the investments in facilities tied to a concession. Special liabilities are not onerous liabilities and are not credits owned by shareholders. They are restated according to the same criteria and indicators used to restate the assets under the property, plant, and equipment of the corresponding agents. The scheduled date for settlement of these liabilities was the concession expiration date.

ANEEL, by means of Regulatory Resolution no. 234/2006, dated October 31, 2006, established the guidelines, the applicable methodologies, and the initial procedures for the conduction of the second cycle of the Periodic Rate Review involving the Brazilian power distribution utilities, changing the characteristics of these liabilities. Both oustanding balances and new additions to special liabilities will be amortized as of the date of the Company’s next periodic rate review (June 2008). The amortization will be calculated with the use of the same average depreciation rates applicable to the corresponding assets.

For purposes of calculating the compensation for the assets linked to the concession and transferable to the Federal Government, on the concession expiration date the remaining balance of special liabilities, if any, will be deducted from the residual value of the assets, both assessed according to criteria set by ANEEL.

The change in the characteristics of these liabilities results from the new rate-setting mechanism introduced by this new Regulatory Resolution, which establishes that the depreciation of assets acquired with funds from Special Liabilities will no longer be included in the B Portion of the companies’ revenues.

a) Parent Company Debentures

1) 4th Issue of Debentures

A single series of 60,000 debentures makes up the fourth issue of simple debentures conducted by the Company on September 1, 2006, in the amount of R$ 600,000, and concluded on October 6, 2006, with full subscription in the total amount of R$ 607,899, with a five-year term from issue date and final maturity on September 1, 2011. These are simple, nominative debentures, non-convertible into stock, issued in book-entry form, and unsecured.

These securities will yield interest on their face value of 104% of the average one-day Interfinance Deposit (DI - over) rates, extra-group, expressed in an annual percentage rate based on 252 business days, calculated and published daily by CETIP (the “DI rate”) in exponential and cumulative “pro rata tempore” manner according to the number of business days elapsed. Interest corresponding to the capitalization period will be due and paid semi-annually, with the first due date on March 1, 2007 and the last on September 1, 2011. There will be no renegotiation of these debentures.

The resources from this issue were used to settle 1/3 of the principal amount of the Company's 3rd issue of debentures, on the due date of February 1, 2007, and the principal amount of the Company’s 2nd issue of debentures, on the due date of March 1, 2007.

2) 3rd Issue of Debentures

A single series of 40,000 debentures makes up the third issue of simple debentures, concluded on May 9, 2005, fully subscribed for R$ 400,000, with a four-year term. Final maturity is scheduled for 2009, with the first repayment (1/3) being scheduled for February 1, 2007, the second repayment (1/3) for February 1, 2008, and the third one (1/3) for February 1, 2009.

These are simple, nominative debentures, non-convertible into stock, issued in book-entry form, and secured by real estate. The funds were used to pay off securities issued on the international market (Euronotes) by the Company on May 2, 1997 and due on May 2, 2005, in the amount of US$ 150,000.

The pledged security is COPEL Generation’s bank account in Banco do Brasil S.A., in which all resources earned by COPEL Generation in connection with power sales agreements, both current and future, will be deposited.

These securities will yield interest on their face value (minus previously amortized amounts) of 115% of the average one-day Interfinance Deposit rates, extra-group, expressed in an annual percentage rate based on 252 business days, calculated and published daily by CETIP (the “DI rate”) in exponential and cumulative “pro rata tempore” manner according to the number of business days elapsed. Interest corresponding to the capitalization periods will be due and paid semi-annually, with the first due date on August 1, 2005 and the last on February 1, 2009. There will be no renegotiation of these debentures.

The debentures feature provisions setting forth accelerated maturity in certain conditions.

b) Debentures - Elejor

The contract for Elejor’s first issue of debentures was signed with BNDES Participações S.A. – BNDESPAR, with COPEL Corporate Partnerships intervening as “Guarantor Shareholder” together with COPEL.

They were issued in two series, the first one comprising 660 debentures, and the second one, 340. Both of them are nominative, convertible into common shares and into class C preferred shares, at the discretion of the debenture holders.

The total amount of this issue was R$ 255,626. The debentures had a face value of R$ 256 on the issue date, February 15, 2005, and this value will be restated according to the variation of the long term interest rate (TJLP).

The first and second series yield interest based on the variation of TJLP, plus a 4% p.a. spread on the outstanding balance of each series. Interest on the fist series is due annually, in the first twelve months from the issue date, and quarterly thereafter. The first payment was due on February 15, 2006, and the last one, on February 15, 2015.

a) Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

On March 7, 2006, by means of a report of material fact issued to the market, COPEL made public an agreement with Petrobras to settle the pending issues regarding the gas purchase agreement for the Araucária Thermal Power Plant. The basic terms of this settlement had been made public by means of a report of material fact on February 24, 2006. Under the Out-of-Court Agreement, COPEL Generation, with COPEL as guarantor, acknowledged a R$ 150,000 debt to Petrobras, assignee of Compagas’ credits from COPEL Generation, which shall be paid in 60 monthly installments restated by the Selic rate, starting in January 2010.

On May 30, 2006, COPEL Generation signed a Mutual Release Agreement with Compagas under which both companies fully and irrevocably release each other from all obligations and rights under the Natural Gas Purchase and Sale Agreement signed by them on May 30, 2000 and terminated on May 31, 2005, renouncing any claims against each other, on any grounds, as of the date of the Out of Court Settlement and Confession of Indebtedness signed by them and by Petrobras, with the participation of COPEL. The debt acknowledged by COPEL Generation remains.

COPEL has a voluntary quit program in effect until April 30, 2008, for employees who are already entitled to retirement benefits from Social Security (INSS) or who will become eligible by February 29, 2008. The final deadline for application for voluntary quit, at COPEL’s discretion, is April 15, 2008. Termination will be classified as “employee request”, thus no contractual penalties will be owed by COPEL.

    22 Post-Employment Benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor retirement and pension plans (Pension Plans I, II, and III) and a medical and dental care plan (Healthcare Plan) to both current and retired employees and their dependents.

Pension Plans I and II are defined benefit plans, while Plan III is a defined contribution plan. On the date of retirement, the defined contribution plan becomes a monthly income for life.

The cost and contribution shares borne by the plans’ sponsors are recorded and paid according to an actuarial assessment prepared annually by independent actuaries pursuant to the rules of CVM Ruling no. 371/2000. The actuarial and financial assumptions, for purposes of actuarial assessment, are discussed with the independent actuaries and approved by the sponsors’ senior management.

45


The flow of payment of contributions under Plans I and II as of July 2007 was guaranteed under an agreement called “Private Agreement for Adjustment of Mathematical Reserves for the Basic and Supplemental Pension Plans”, signed on January 20, 1999. This agreement provides for the extinction of liabilities under certain conditions. Based on legal opinions by external and internal legal experts, the Company notified the senior management of Fundação COPEL de Previdência e Assistência Social, on July 27, 2007, that no contribution payments would be made under that agreement as of August 2007, since the obligations contained therein expired.

The breakdown of the types of lawsuits in which COPEL is involved as of September 30, 2007 is consistent with the one featured in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

The amount tied to cases classified as possible losses, estimated by the Company as of September 30, 2007, reached R$ 1,583,370, of which R$ 55,036 correspond to labor claims, R$ 808,371 to regulatory claims, R$ 319,354 to civil claims, and R$ 400,609 to tax claims. It is important to point out that COPEL has a good chance of success in the lawsuit it filed to dispute the effects of ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, as discussed in Note 41 herein, “Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE)”.

a) COFINS tax

COPEL did not collect COFINS tax on revenues from power sales based on a ruling by the 4th District Federal Court, dated August 18, 1998, which granted the Company immunity pursuant to article 155, 3rd paragraph, of the Federal Constitution.

The Federal Government, supported by an opposite interpretation adopted by the Supreme Federal Court on Special Appeal no. 230,337-7, filed suit to overrule the decision by the 4th District Federal Court, on August 8, 2000.

On August 3, 2005, the 4th District Federal Court published its ruling, according to which the right of the Federal Government to take legal action had lapsed, as it had only had summons served to COPEL after the two-year legal deadline.

49


The Federal Government filed a special appeal before the Superior Court of Justice, claiming its right had not lapsed, since the delay in serving summons was caused by the process server. The special appeal was rejected by the Reporting Justice, who claimed it was not the duty of the Superior Court of Justice to rule on matters of fact. The Federal Government then filed an interlocutory appeal, which was unanimously rejected by the ruling Justices on December 12, 2006.

After this ruling was published, the Federal Government filed an appeal for clarification. Since the ruling against which the appeal for clarification was filed was consistent with the firm and unanimous understanding which the Superior Court of Justice had always upheld, it was unlikely that this ruling would be reversed. Thus, our legal counsel reclassified the underlying risk of liability as remote, and the Company, upon completion of the 2006 financial statements, reversed the corresponding provisions set aside successively from June 1999 until June 2001, in the amount of R$ 197,549.

On September 4, 2007, however, the Superior Court of Justice, despite all forecasts and in a reversal of the Court's own traditional understanding, ruled in favor of the appeal for clarification against COPEL, thereby also ruling in favor of the interlocutory appeal which had been unanimously rejected by that very same Court, and rejecting the Company’s claim of lapsing of the Government’s right to take legal action, pursuant to the vote of the Reporting Justice.

Even though this ruling may be appealed, in light of the fact that it resulted from the adoption by the Justices of the Superior Court of Justice of an interpretation of the law which is the complete opposite of the one unanimously confirmed less than a year ago, our legal counsel concluded that it is unlikely that this ruling will be reversed yet again by the same Justices. They also concluded that the chances are low that that this issue will be reexamined by the Federal Supreme Court.

In light of this unforeseen ruling by the Superior Court of Justice and of the fact that, during the lawsuit, a part of the tax credits claimed by the government did lapse, pursuant to article 173 of the National Tax Code, the Company set aside a provision in the amount of R$ 170,518 as of September 30, 2007, which corresponds to the principal amount (plus charges) of this liability, which is considered probable.

b) Rio Pedrinho Energética S.A. and Consórcio Salto Natal Energética S.A.

Rio Pedrinho Energética S.A. and Consórcio Salto Natal Energética S.A. filed for arbitration before the Arbitration Chamber of Fundação Getúlio Vargas, pleading payment of overdue installments and contractual penalties under the power purchase agreements they had signed with COPEL Distribution.

Both cases were ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, so COPEL Distribution was sentenced to paying the claimed amounts plus legal fees.

50


The agreements submitted to arbitration are the subject of a class action claiming that both are null and void.

COPEL also filed a lawsuit before a State court (“2a. Vara da Fazenda Pública, Falências e Concordatas da Comarca de Curitiba”), processed under no. 950/2005, pleading the declaration of annulment of the agreements and the arbitration rulings. Rio Pedrinho Energética S.A. and Consórcio Salto Natal Energética S.A. submitted their defense, disputing COPEL’s claims.

Both companies filed suit for execution of the arbitration rulings against COPEL Distribution.

COPEL Distribution was served with summons and submitted a list of assets for attachment. Since the companies did not accept COPEL’s list of assets, the Company filed a stay of execution, which was rejected in the case of the Rio Pedrinho S.A. execution proceedings. COPEL then filed an interlocutory appeal before the Paraná State Supreme Court and was granted a preliminary injunction suspending the execution.

In the execution proceedings filed by Consórcio Salto Natal, the judge in charge of the case has not yet ruled on COPEL’s stay of execution.

Should COPEL be summoned concerning the assets for attachment, it will request a stay of execution to dispute the validity of the arbitration rulings, which is already being discussed in the ongoing lawsuit no. 950/2005. The Company conservatively set aside an additional provision in the amount of R$ 49,899.

Each share entitles its holder to one vote in the general shareholders’ meetings.

Class “A” preferred shares do not carry any voting rights, but they do enjoy priority in the reimbursement of capital and in the right to non-cumulative annual dividends of 10%, calculated proportionately to the capital represented by the shares of this class.

Class “B” preferred shares do not carry any voting rights, but they do enjoy priority in the distribution of minimum dividends, calculated as 25% of net income, adjusted in compliance with corporate legislation and with the Company’s by-laws. Class “B” shareholders have priority only over the common shareholders in the distribution of mandatory dividends, which shall only be paid out of the remaining net income, after the payment of priority dividends to class “A” shareholders.

According to Article 17 and following paragraphs of Law 6,404/1976, dividends paid to preferred shares must be at least 10% higher than those paid to common shares.

A proposal for payment of interest on capital as intermediary dividends was submitted in September 2007 and was later expressly approved at the 1,754th Meeting of the Board of Officers, on October 1, 2007, subject to final approval by the Board of Directors.

    41 Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE)

The Wholesale Energy Market (Mercado Atacadista de Energia - MAE) has ceased its operations, and as a consequence its activities, assets, and liabilities were absorbed by the new Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE) on November 12, 2004.

CCEE was constituted as a private corporate entity subject to ANEEL regulation and inspection.

61


COPEL has not recognized as actual and final the data concerning the sale of power by COPEL Distribution on the Wholesale Energy Market (MAE) in 2000, 2001, and the first quarter of 2002. This data, which is used in the MAE accounting, was calculated according to criteria and amounts that take into account decisions by the Regulatory Agency contained in ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002 and in ANEEL Resolution no. 395/2002, which have been challenged by the Company both administratively and judicially.

On July 16, 2002, the Company and COPEL Distribution filed a lawsuit pleading a preliminary injunction to suspend: a) the effects of ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002, ordering ANEEL to refrain from taking any measures that result in changes to the figures in the accounting for 2000, 2001, and the first quarter of 2002, carried out by MAE on March 13, 2002 or, if any other accounting has already been made, that its effects be suspended; and (b) the effects of article 1, first paragraph, of ANEEL Resolution no. 395/2002.

On final ruling, the plaintiffs plead for: (a) a declaration of inapplicability of ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002 and, in the event a new accounting has been made, that it be declared null and void; (b) the sentencing of ANEEL, to have it refrain from taking any measures that result in changes to the figures in the accounting for 2000, 2001, and the first quarter of 2002, carried out by MAE on March 13, 2002; (c) the declaration of inapplicability of article 1, first paragraph, of ANEEL Resolution no. 395/2002 to both companies; and (d) the sentencing of ANEEL to payment of reparations for the damages caused, to be calculated at the time of settlement of such sentence.

On August 7, 2002, the request for preliminary injunction was rejected, so that on August 13, 2002, the companies filed an interlocutory appeal to suspend the ruling that rejected the preliminary injunction.

On August 27, 2002, the Company was granted a favorable preliminary injunction by the 1st Regional Federal Court suspending the settlement of the amounts determined by ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002 and ANEEL Resolution no. 395/2002.

On September 9, 2002, ANEEL filed for reconsideration of the ruling in favor of the suspension, which was rejected. ANEEL filed a request for suspension of the preliminary injunction issued by the 1st Regional Federal Court before the Superior Court of Justice (SS no. 2094). This request was, however, rejected on November 25, 2002, and filed on December 17, 2002. On August 29, 2003, the lawsuit was submitted to the judge for final ruling, and as of the date of these financial statements, no decision has been issued.

62


The Company’s claim is mostly based on the fact that the ruling and resolution in question were applied retroactively to the date of the operations, especially as regards the partial sale of COPEL’s share of Itaipu energy on the Southern and Southeastern submarkets to meet free energy bilateral supply agreements during the rationing period in 2001, when there was a significant discrepancy in the prices for short-term energy between the markets. As of September 30, 2007, the estimated amount of discrepancies in calculation was approximately R$ 807,000, which has not been recognized by the Company as a liability for spot market energy.

Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, management considers it possible that the final rulings in these lawsuits will be favorable to the Company.

On June 24, 2003, MAE issued a statement approving the new schedule for the settlement of the remaining 50% of transactions carried out from December 2000 to December 2002. This settlement took place on July 3, 2003, and the previously agreed dates for the settlement of transactions carried out in October, November, and December 2002 were maintained, i.e., July 7, 2003, July 10, 2003, and July 17, 2003, respectively.

The long-term energy amounts may be subject to change depending on the outcome of ongoing lawsuits, filed by certain companies in the sector and by COPEL itself, concerning the interpretation of the market rules currently in effect. These companies, which were not included in the area covered by rationing, were granted a preliminary injunction that voids ANEEL Ruling no. 288, dated May 16, 2002, the purpose of which was to clarify to the electric utilities the meaning and the application of certain MAE accounting rules included in the General Agreement of the Power Sector.

The accumulated balances of transactions carried out by the Company are:

Net total    7,691    (24,544)   26,925    10,072 
 

In a prompt response to a request by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, COPEL undertook, in an agreement with ANEEL’s president, to release the 400 MW under contract with Cien and to participate in the A-1 auction to make up for this released volume. Out of the total under contract, in 2007 a reduced volume of 170.625 average MW will be supplied under the Cien agreement.

The offer of power at this auction was minimal, thus only 40% of COPEL’s reported power requirements were secured.

To fully make up for the Cien agreement and to adjust its level of power under contract from January through June 2007, COPEL participated in the Mechanism for the Offset of Surpluses and Deficits (Mecanismo de Compensação de Sobras e Déficits - MCSD), reporting a deficit and acquiring a total of 32.625 average MW(1).

c) Risk Factors

1) Credit risk

The Company’s credit risk comprises the possibility of losses due to non-payment of power bills. This risk is closely tied to factors that are either internal or external to COPEL. To minimize this risk, the Company focuses on the management of receivables, detecting customer segments which are most likely not to pay their bills, suspending power supply, and implementing specific collection policies.

Doubtful accounts are properly covered by provisions to offset potential losses in their realization.

2) Foreign currency risk

This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in exchange rates, which may reduce assets or increase liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company has not engaged in transactions with derivatives to swap this risk, although it has continued to monitor exchange rates, in order to assess the potential need for such transactions as a way of protecting against foreign currency risks.

3) Interest rate risk

This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in interest rates, which may increase the financial expenses in connection with liabilities on the market.

The Company has not engaged in transactions with derivatives to cover this risk, but it has continued to monitor interest rates, in order to assess the potential need for such transactions as a way of protecting against interest rate risks.

4) Accelerated maturity risk

This risk results from the potential breach of restrictive contract provisions, such as those contained in the loan, financing, and debenture agreements of the Company, which usually require that certain economic and financial indicators be kept at determined levels (financial covenants).

5) Power shortage risk

This risk results from the possibility of periods with low levels of rainfall, since most of the power acquired and sold by the Company is generated by hydroelectric power plants, which depend on the water levels in their reservoirs to operate. A long period of drought may reduce the water levels in power plant reservoirs and result in losses due to reduced revenues if a new rationing program is implemented.

Based on the current reservoir levels, the National System Operator (ONS) does not anticipate a new rationing program in the next few years.

66


6) Risk of non-renewal of concessions

COPEL holds concessions for power generation, transmission, and distribution services, with the expectation that they will be renewed by ANEEL and/or by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. If the renewal of these concessions is not approved by the regulatory agencies or even if it occurs at additional costs to the Company ("costly concession"), current profitability and activity levels may be affected.

    44 Related-Party Transactions

COPEL has carried out transactions with unconsolidated related parties, including the sale of power to final customers, at rates approved by ANEEL, resulting in billed amounts which are not material for purposes of disclosure.

COMMENTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY IN THE QUARTER

    1 Distribution

Customer connections – In September 2007, COPEL supplied 3,398,522(1) customers (3,319,949(1) in September 2006), with an increase of 78,573(1) customers (2.4%) over the past 12 months.

Compact-design distribution lines – COPEL has continued to implement compact-design distribution lines in urban areas with a high concentration of trees surrounding the distribution grids. This technology helps to preserve the environment, as trees in the vicinity of power grids do not need to be cut off or severely trimmed, and to improve the quality of power supply by reducing the number of unplanned outages. The total length of urban compact-design distribution lines in operation as of September 2007 was 1,318 km(1) (1,259 km(1) as of September 2006), with an increase of 59 km(1) (4.7%) over the past 12 months.

Secondary Isolated Lines – COPEL has also invested in low-voltage (127/220 V) secondary isolated lines, which offer such significant advantages over regular overhead lines as:

- - improvement in DEC and FEC distribution performance indicators;

- - defense against illegal connections;

- - improved environmental conditions and reduced tree areas subject to trimming;

- - improved safety;

- - reduced voltage drops throughout the grid; and

- - increased transformer useful life due to the reduction of short-circuits, among other advantages.

The total length of secondary isolated lines in operation as of September 2007 was 2,348 km(1) (1.518 km(1) as of September 2006), with an increase of 830 km(1) (54.7%) over the past 12 months.

Market breakdown The generation of energy by COPEL from January through September 2007 was 13,706 GWh(1) (7,309 GWh(1) from January through September 2006). The Company purchased 9,715 GWh(1) from CCEAR (auction) (against 8,589 GWh(1) in the same period of 2006), 3,488 GWh(1) from Itaipu (against 3,489 GWh(1) in the same period of 2006), and 1.147 GWh(1) from CIEN (against 2.621 GWh(1) in the same period of 2006), as shown in the flowchart below:

    3 Investor Relations

From January through September 2007, COPEL’s common shares (ON - code CPLE3) and class B preferred shares (PNB - code CPLE6) were traded on 99% and 100%, respectively, of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) trading sessions.

COPEL’s free floating shares accounted for 45.0% of the Company’s stock capital. COPEL’s market value, based on the BOVESPA stock prices at the end of September 2007, was approximately R$ 8,047 million.

Out of the 63 securities that make up the Ibovespa index, COPEL’s class B shares ranked 39th, accounting for 0.8% of the portfolio, with a Beta index of 1.10. COPEL also accounts for 6.1% of the IEE (Electric Energy Index) portfolio. Out of the 33 companies that make up BOVESPA’s Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE), COPEL ranked 18th, accounting for 0.8% of the portfolio.

As reported by BOVESPA, the closing price of COPEL’s common shares on the last trading day of the period was R$ 29.50 (a 37.2% variation), and class B preferred shares were traded at R$ 29.30 (a 17.2% variation).

On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), COPEL’s class B preferred shares, represented by American Depositary Shares (ADSs), are traded at Level 3, under the code ELP. As reported by NYSE, COPEL’s ADSs were traded on 100% of the trading sessions and had a closing price of US$ 15.95 at the end of the period (a 36.9% variation).

On LATIBEX (The Euro Market for Latin-American Securities), linked to the Madrid Stock Exchange, COPEL’s Class B preferred shares are also traded, under the symbol XCOP. As reported by LATIBEX, COPEL’s XCOPs were traded on 100% of the trading sessions and had a closing price of 12.22 euros at the end of the period (a 26.6% variation).

Reverse stock split

The 169th General Shareholders’ Meeting of COPEL, held on July 2, 2007, approved a reverse stock split covering all shares of the Company, pursuant to article 12 of Law no. 6,404/76, as follows:

The reverse stock split was approved in a 1.000 (one thousand) to 1 (one) ratio. COPEL’s share capital is now represented by 273,655,375 shares, with no par value, out of which 145,031,080 are common shares, 398,342 are class A preferred shares, and 128,225,953 are class B preferred shares. The Company’s total share capital value remains unchanged.

75


This reverse stock split aims to: (1) adjust the quoted value per share to make it more market-friendly, as quotes in reais per share are more common than quotes per lot of 1,000 (one thousand) shares; (2) contribute to the standardization of share quotes on the Brazilian market, in response to an initiative by BOVESPA; (3) reduce operating costs and increase the efficiency of COPEL’s shareholder information system; and (4) reduce the possibility of information errors, thus improving service to the Company’s shareholders.

Simultaneously to the reverse stock split, COPEL also changed the ratio of shares traded on other exchanges, as follows: (1) shares traded on the NYSE are now traded at the ratio of one ADR/ADS to 1 share; (2) shares traded on LATIBEX are now traded at the ratio of one XCOP to 1 share.

COPEL’s reverse stock split, with prices quoted in reais (R$) per share, is effective as of August 6, 2007.

AUDITOR REPORT ON THE SPECIAL REVIEW OF THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

To the Senior Management and Shareholders of

COMPANHIA PARANAENSE DE ENERGIA – COPEL

Curitiba - PR

1. We have conducted a special review of the Quarterly Information (ITR) of COMPANHIA PARANAENSE DE ENERGIA – COPEL and its subsidiaries (parent company and consolidated) for the quarter and the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2007, prepared in compliance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and under the responsibility of the management of the Company and of its subsidiaries, comprising the balance sheets (both parent company and consolidated), the statements of income, and the performance report.

2. Except for the matter discussed in paragraph 3, our review was carried out in compliance with the specific standards set forth by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON), in conjunction with the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and basically comprised: (a) inquiries of and discussions with the senior managers responsible for the accounting, financial, and operating areas of the Company and its subsidiaries, with regard to the main criteria adopted in the preparation of the quarterly information; and (b) a review of the information and of the subsequent events which have, or may have, significant effects on the financial position and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

79


3. The Quarterly Information of indirectly controlled subsidiaries Elejor - Centrais Elétricas do Rio Jordão S.A. and UEG Araucária Ltda. for the quarter and for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2007 and their balance sheets as of June 30, 2007 were reviewed by other independent auditors, whose special review reports, published on October 22, 2007, October 11, 2007, July 20, 2007, and July 9, 2007, respectively, do not contain any reservations which affect the consolidated Quarterly Information. These same independent auditors reviewed the companies’ Quarterly Reports for the quarter and for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2006 and published their special review reports on October 23, 2006 and November 7, 2006, respectively, also without any reservations. Our reviews, as far as: (a) the total assets of these subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, which account for 11.32% and 12.01%, respectively, of the total consolidated assets; (b) the income (losses) of these subsidiaries in the nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, which account for 2,79% and (1.26%), respectively, of the total consolidated income (losses); and (c) the respective investments, recorded according to the equity method in the holding company’s individual statements, are all based solely on the special review reports of those independent auditors.

4. Based on our special review and on the special review reports published by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the aforementioned Quarterly Information so as to make such information compliant with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to the preparation of mandatory quarterly information, consistent with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

5. Our review was conducted with a view to issuing a special review report on the basic Quarterly Information referred to in paragraph 1, taken as whole. The statement of cash flows (parent company and consolidated), included in form 16.01/ITR of the Quarterly Information for the nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, is featured with the purpose of providing additional information about the Company and its subsidiaries and is not required as a part of the basic quarterly information prepared according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The statements of cash flows (parent company and consolidated) were subject to the special auditing procedures described in paragraph 2, and, based on our review and on the special review reports published by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material changes that should be made to these supplemental statements for them to be adequately presented, in all material respects, in light of the basic quarterly financial statements for the periods ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, taken as a whole.

80


6. As mentioned in note 41 to the quarterly information, the Company is challenging the calculations made and published by the Wholesale Energy Market – MAE (currently the Electric Energy Trading Chamber – CCEE), which take into account decisions by the National Electric Energy Agency - ANEEL contained in ANEEL Ruling no. 288/2002 and in ANEEL Resolution no. 395/2002, because it believes that these regulations introduced changes in the market rules prevailing at the time the corresponding transactions occurred. The amount under dispute is approximately R$ 807,000 thousand (restated amount); no provision has been recorded by the Company, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, who believes that the chances of a favorable outcome for the Company are possible.

7. The balance sheets (parent company and consolidated) as of June 30, 2007, featured herein for purposes of comparison, have been audited by us, and the special review report, issued on August 14, 2007, contained a paragraph pointing out the same issue discussed in paragraph 6 above. The statements of income (parent company and consolidated) for the quarter and for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2006, featured herein for purposes of comparison, have been reviewed by us, and our special review report, dated November 10, 2006, contained a paragraph pointing out the same issue discussed in paragraph 6 above.
