Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects, page 71

2. Please provide the disclosures required by Item 5(e) of Form 20-F or tell us why such disclosures are not required.

CEMIG advises the Staff that it does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 5(e) of Form 20-F.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, page F-10

3. Please tell us your consideration of disclosing investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash in accordance with paragraph 43 of IAS 7 or where such disclosures can be found.

CEMIG advises the Staff that, in accordance with paragraph 43 of IAS 7, the investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash relate primarily to costs of loans and financing linked to works that were capitalized as Intangible Assets and transfers of Intangible assets “under construction” to financial assets as disclosed in Note 17 to CEMIG’s 2013 Financial Statements. In response to the staff’s comment, CEMIG will revise its Statements of Cash Flow in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F to disclose these items as transactions that do not require the use of cash.

4. Please show us how to reconcile the additions to PP&E to your disclosure in note 16. Please also show us how to reconcile the decrease in the accounts receivable from Minas Gerais state government for 2012 to your disclosure in note 12.

CEMIG also advises the Staff that there were no transfers to Property, Plant and Equipment from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Therefore, the amount included as additions in note 16 agrees with the amount disclosed in the Statements of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2012. The difference of 1 refers to rounding.

In response to the Staff’s comment, CEMIG will separately disclose additions and transfers to PP&E in the Financial Statements included in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Decrease in the accounts receivable from Minas Gerais state government for the year ended December 31, 2012

CEMIG advises the Staff that the reconciliation of the amount of R$1,498 million related to a decrease in the accounts receivable from Minas Gerais state government presented in Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the year ended in December 31, 2012 is presented in the table below:

CEMIG advises the Staff that the disclosures in Note 12 reflect certain transaction relating to the Credit Rights Investment Fund (FIDC). Since the FIDC was consolidated in CEMIG’s financial statements, these transactions are treated in consolidated financial statements, as a reduction of Company’s accounts receivable from Minas Gerais State Government. In order to demonstrate how CEMIG arrived at the cash received from the Minas Gerais state government for the year ended December 31, 2012, below is a rollforward of the accounts receivable balance on a consolidated basis for the respective year:

Explanatory Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-12

2.5 New Accounting pronouncements adopted starting in 2013, page F-19

5. We note that your adoption of IFRS 11 resulted in accounting for investments in joint ventures and jointly controlled entities using the equity method instead of the proportional consolidation method you used prior to the adoption of IFRS 11. Please tell us in sufficient detail how you determined these joint arrangements qualified as joint ventures as opposed to joint operations. Ensure your analysis discusses the structure and form of the arrangements and the involved parties’ rights and obligations arising from the arrangements.

 

3


CEMIG advises the Staff that it determined that its joint arrangements qualified as joint ventures based on the characteristics presented below, which are based on the requirements of IFRS 11:17 and B15:

 

    The joint arrangements previously accounted for using the proportional consolidation method are conducted through separate legal entities.

 

    According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, CEMIG does not have any direct rights or liabilities relating to the individual assets and liabilities of these entities. CEMIG only has rights to the net assets of these entities.

 

    The terms of the arrangements also stipulate that CEMIG does not have rights to assets or obligations relating to the liabilities of these entities.

 

    The joint venture activities were not primarily designed for the provision of output to CEMIG and the other venturers. The revenues of these entities are primarily derived from unrelated parties.

 

    The main cash flow source of these entities comes from their own operations. The entities are not dependent on cash flow contributions of CEMIG or the other venturers.

 

    According to Brazilian Corporate Law, CEMIG is liable only to the extent of its investments in each arrangement. These entities are directly liable for their debts, obligations and claims related to their activities.

 

    CEMIG and the other venturers share profits and dividends according to their respective ownership interest in each entity, as required by Brazilian Corporate Law.

6. It does not appear that you disclosed the impact of the adoption IFRS 11 and IAS 19 on each line item in the statements of financial position, statements of income and statements of cash flow or basic and diluted profit per preferred and common share as required by paragraph 28(f) of IAS 8. Please revise or advise.

CEMIG advises the Staff that the information disclosed in Note 2 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements, pages F-20 to F-22, describes the main effects of the adoption IFRS 11 and IAS 19 on its financial statements. CEMIG further advises that the adoption IFRS 11 and IAS 19 did not change CEMIG’s basic and diluted profit per preferred and common share.

7. We note that the amounts disclosed in the statement of cash flow for 2012 as reclassified differ from the amounts reflected in the statements of cash flow. Please revise or advise.

CEMIG advises the Staff that the correct reclassified amounts are properly disclosed in the statements of cash flow. However, CEMIG included certain incorrect amounts in Note 2 relating to the impacts on the statements of cash flows. In response to the Staff’s comment, CEMIG will revise Note 2 in the Financial Statements included in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The corrected amounts that will be included in Note 2 are presented in the table below:

5. Operational Segments, page F-50

8. We note the information by segment includes a line item for additions to (reduction in) the segment. Please tell us what the additions/reductions reflected in the line item represent and show us how to reconcile the amounts to other disclosures in the notes to financial statements.

CEMIG advises the Staff that additions/reductions reflected in the line item represent capital expenditures less cash received on the disposal of investments. The additions to (reduction in) operational segments is comprised of the following line items from the respective Statements of Cash Flows:

Additionally, CEMIG advises the Staff that Note 5 includes certain incorrect amounts in the Generation and Other columns of the additions/reductions line item for the year ended December 31, 2012. CEMIG will revise this information in the Financial Statements included in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

10. Please tell us why Central Termeletrica de Cogeracao is not included in the tables in note 15.

CEMIG advises the Staff that, as described in Note 1 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements, page F-16, CEMIG Comercializadora de Energia Incentivada S.A. was formerly known as Central Termelétrica de Cogeração S.A.

The entity is correctly shown in the tables in Note 15 on page F-70. In the table presented in Note 3 on page F-40, this entity was disclosed under its previous name Central Termelétrica de Cogeração. CEMIG will correct the name of this entity in Note 3 in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

15. Investments, page F-66

11. Please tell us how the summarized financial information beginning on page F-70 complies with the information required by paragraphs B12 and B13 of IFRS 12 or revise your disclosure to comply with the disclosure requirements. Please also translate the summarized financial information into English.

CEMIG advises the Staff that certain items required by paragraphs B12 and B13 of IFRS 12 were inadvertently not included in the summarized financial information in Note 15. Following is the summarized financial information in English, including certain line items in bold which were not presented in the footnote included in the Form 20-F. CEMIG will include revised summarized financial information in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

CEMIG also advises that additional information regarding the main joint ventures and associations (Ligth and Taesa) is publicly available in English, since these companies are listed and disclose regular information to investors.

16. Please tell us what consideration you gave to disclosing a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses and the limitations of those methods and changes from the previous year in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses. Refer to paragraph 145 of IAS 19.

 

14


In response to the Staff’s comment, the following is a sensitivity analysis of the main actuarial assumptions to determinate the defined benefit obligation:

 

Effects in Defined-benefit obligation

   Pension plans and
retirement
supplement plans
     Health
Plan
     Dental
Plan
     Life
insurance
 

Mortality Table smoothed in 1 year

     349         14         1         25   

Discount rate decreased by 1 %

     681         120         4         109   

In the presentation of the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation was calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, the same method used to calculate the defined benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet. CEMIG has not made changes to the methods utilized to calculate its post-retirement benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

CEMIG will disclose this sensitivity analysis in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

29. Financial Instruments and Risks Management, page F-115

17. Please tell us what consideration you gave to disclosing the information required by IFRS 13 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

CEMIG advises the Staff that, as disclosed in Note 30 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements, its principal assets measured at fair value are Financial Assets relating to its concessions, amounting to R$5,559 million, which represents 90% of the total assets measured at fair value. CEMIG advises the Staff that there is no active market for concession assets in Brazil and consequently, these assets are classified as a level 3 instrument. Pursuant to paragraph 91 of IFRS 13, the effects of the measurements on profit were presented in Note 27 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements, in the line item “Net updating on the Financial Assets of the concession”.

The main input used by CEMIG and other Brazilian electricity distribution companies to determine the fair value of the financial assets related to its concessions was the New Replacement Value (VNR) of concession infrastructure, according to criteria established in regulations by the Grantor of the concessions, which are based on the fair value of the assets in service belonging to the concession and which will be reversible at the end of the concession, as well as the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) rate used by the Grantor, which reflects the concessionaire’s return on the concession operations. CEMIG advises the Staff that the both VNR and WACC rates are public information disclosed by the Grantor and by CEMIG.

Considering the Brazilian regulatory framework, CEMIG does not expect a change in the unobservable input used to calculate the fair value. Additional information was provided about such financial instruments in Note 14 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements.

The remaining amount of assets measured at fair value is principally related to securities. A general description about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure those securities is presented in Note 27 to CEMIG’s 2013 financial statements.
