Analysis of Andres-DPP Combined3 Financial Results (In IFRS) For Andres-DPP, the Revenues increased 20.1% to US$112.7 million in the fourth quarter 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This result was mainly driven by: i) higher spot sales by US$11.4 million, derived of higher volume, prices and energy production; (ii) the other sales increased around US$5.9 million due to the increment in natural gas sales; and, (iii) US$1.6 million of higher contracted sales, basically to EDEEste (since its contracted capacity increased from 50MW to 75MW since September, 2011) and to Falconbrige, partially offset for the expiration of short-term contracts with DISCOS EDENorte and EDESur that were active during 2010. As of December 31st, 2011, Revenues totaled US$444.4 million, an increase of 18.0% compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was mainly a net result of: (i) higher spot sales by US$64.0 million, due to higher energy volume and spot prices; (ii) lower contracted energy sales by US$14.3 million; and, (ii) higher other sales by US$18.0 million mainly from sales of natural gas since in February 2010 Andres started the operation of the liquefied natural gas loading terminal, expanding the use of this fuel in the Dominican Republic.

Operating Costs and Expenses as of December 31st, 2011, increased 19.5% to US$288.4 million compared to the same period in 2010. This variance was mainly caused by: (i) higher cost of sales by US$44.2 million derived from higher generation, the related increase in LNG consumption (DPP was generating as base load power plant and the natural gas market has been 1

As of December 31st, 2011, Combined Net Generation was 3,379 GWh, an increase of 2.5% compared to the same period of 2010. During both periods, the units have been dispatched as base-load units due to the competitiveness of gas prices.
