2Q10 Relevant Results Analysis of Combined Financial Results (In USGAAP) Revenues increased 74.6% to US$89.4 million in the second quarter 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. These results were mainly driven by: (i) higher contracted sales by US$21.7 million, primarily due to a higher quantity of energy sales and higher prices which are indexed monthly to the NYMEX natural gas prices; (ii) higher spot sales by US$15.8 million, largely a result of an increase in spot prices and volume sold; and, (iii) an increase of US$0.7 million in natural gas & other sales. For the six months ending June 30th, 2010, Revenues totaled US$178.9 million, an increase of 75.4% as compared to the same period of 2009. This result was mainly caused by: (i) higher contracted sales by US$42.9 million, basically to higher prices and higher energy quantity; (ii) higher spot sales by US$33.0 million due to higher generation and higher average prices; and (iii) higher other sales by US$1.0 million due to higher natural gas sales. It should be noted that lower generation during the first semester 2009, that drives the variations described above, was driven by Andres’ limited capacity operation during part of this period. Revenues consist of the following:

Operating Costs and Expenses increased 12.0%, in the second quarter 2010, to US$55.9 million compared to the same period of 2010. This variance was principally a net result of: (i) higher fuel costs by US$8.5 million due to higher fuel prices and higher generation; (ii) lower electricity purchases by US$1.6 million due to higher generation; (iii) Lower operating maintenance and general expenses by US$1.5 million since in 2009 Andres had its first major maintenance; (iv) higher depreciation expenses by US$1.1 million; and, (v) lower derivate instruments by US$0.5 million. During the first six-month of 2010, Operating Costs and Expenses increased 18.4% to US$112.0 million compared to the first six months of 2009. This variance was mainly caused by: (i) higher LNG consumption by US$14.5 million due to higher prices and generation; (ii) higher energy purchases by US$3.8 million; (iii) lower operating, maintenance and general expenses by US$1.3 million; (IV) higher depreciation and amortization of intangible assets by US$1.1 million; and, (v) lower derivatives instruments by US$0.7 million. 2Q10 41.5 9.0 0.4 5.0 55.9

Operating costs and expenses consist of the following: Total Other Expenses were US$12.2 million in the second quarter 2010, a decrease of 16.4% when compared to US$14.6 million in the same period of 2009. This decrease was mainly a function of: (i) the absence of Impairment Expenses from Investment Assets (which had been realized in the same period of 2009 by US$7.2 million); (ii) higher other expenses by US$3.6 million in 2009 (the insurance reimbursement from the transformer failure was booked during this period in 2009); (iii) lower commercial interest income by US$1.1 million; (iv) Lower foreign currency gain by US$0.3 million; and, (v) lower deferred financing cost by US$0.2 million. For the first six-months of 2010, Net Expenses decreased to US$23.7 million, as compared to total expenses in the same period of 2009 by US$25.4 million. This variance was mainly attributed to: (i) the absence of Impairment Expenses from Investment Assets (which had been realized in the same period of 2009 by US$7.3 million); ii) higher other expenses by US$4.1 million; (iii) lower net commercial interest income by US$2.2 million; (iv) lower deferred financing cost amortization by US$0.5 million; (v) lower interest financial expenses by US$0.4 million; (vi) lower foreign currency gain by US$0.3 million; and, (vii) lower subordinated intercompany loan interest expense by US$0.1 million.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was US$5.0 million for the second quarter 2010 compared to a Net Cash Used in Operating Activities of US$3.3 million in the same period of 2009, mainly due to the following: (i) Higher net income by US$26.3 million; (ii) negative impact due to lower accounts payables by US$20.3 million; (iii) positive impact of lower accounts receivables by US$15.5 million; (iv) higher income tax receivable by US$12.2 million; (v) lower investment asset impairment expenses by US$6.4 million; and, (vi) negative reconciling adjustment by US$4.6 million reconciling net income to net cash used in operations. For the first six-month of 2010, the Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was US$52.6 million against a Net Cash Used in operating activities of US$3.2 million for the first six-month of 2009. This variation was primarily the result of: (i) higher net income by US$45.7 million; (ii) lower accounts receivable by US$30.7 million mainly a result of extraordinary collections in March 2010 that resulted from Government Stand-By Agreement with the IMF; (iii) higher income tax expenses by US$13.2 million; (iv) higher income tax receivable by US$12.2 million; (v) lower accounts payables by US$10.0 million; (vi) lower investment asset impairment expense by US$6.4 million; and, (vii) US$5.2 million higher negative reconciling adjustments, reconciling net income to net cash provided by operations. Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures defined in the accompanying financial statement as Additions to Property, Plant and Equipment and advances to suppliers in purchases of PP&E) was net cash used in US$9.1 million for the second quarter 2010. In addition to the net cash used in Operating Activities of US$5.0 million, during this period, there were additions to property, plant and equipment of US$4.1 million. For the first six-month of 2010, the Free Cash Flow was net cash provided of US$46.8 million. In addition to the net cash provided by operating activities of US$52.6 million, there were additions to property, plant and equipment by US$5.8 million.

Liquidity Collections
Collection Rate
In the second quarter of 2010, the average collections rate stood at 100% compared with 227% registered in the same quarter of 2009 (during 2Q09, Andres & DPP accepted sovereign bonds as a form of compensation for 2008 outstanding accounts receivable in a total amount of US$56 million).
Sovereign Bonds Effect
IMF Agreement Effect
227% 167% 120% 72%
During the first 6 months of 2010, the average collection rate stood at 110%. This favorable collection rate was primarily due to a loan taken out by the DR Government in order to pay their current debts to the generation companies. During this time frame they have reduced accounts receivable to 60 days outstanding and have maintained this in order to continue to comply with the IMF requirements.

Operational Results In the second quarter of 2010, the Combined Net Generation was up by 82.2% relative to the second quarter of 2009, from 445 GWh in 2009 to 811 GWh in 2010. This increase was mainly a net result of two factors: (i) Los Mina VI was generating as base load power plant; and, (ii) during 2Q09 Andres’ was operating at limited capacity because the transformer failure ocurred in December 2008. Total Energy Sold during 2Q10 was 815 GWh, an increase of 52.3% compared with 2Q09, a function of the higher generation mentioned above. During the second quarter 2010, Andres’ Firm Capacity increased 18.2% to 253MW, the EAF increased to 99% and the EFOR was 0. For the first half 2010, Combined Net Generation was 1,526 GWh, an increase of 61.7% compared to the same period of 2009. The Energy Sold increased 48.1% to 1,539 GWh, basically due higher generation, higher UNRs sales and new contracts with EDESur and EDENorte (in 2009, we only had an energy contract with EDENorte). Andres’ Firm Capacity increased 16.7% to 251MW and the EFOR decreased from 25.9% to 0 because the implementation of several operational improvement initiatives.
