these, when many companies are suffering from a major
correction in their profitability. Thus, one of the editorials
of the daily newspaper, Expansión, from 25 February 2010,

shown that it has sufficient girth to adapt to changes in
the environment, whether by diverting its interests towards
other energy areas (it will develop three thermosolar plants
in Spain, a segment with growth expectations) or by
delving deeper into its concession business”.

The perception that Elecnor knows how to reach its


business objectives and take on challenges is an essential
source of confidence in the stock markets. This credibility
was translated to the stock price throughout 2009. After

Redes e Infraestructuras

One of the most important airport projects inaugurated


last year was the power plant of the new air terminal and
interconnection between the plant and substations within
the Barcelona airport, which amounted to over 26 million
euros. Integrated installations were executed here: LV/MV
electricity, with 40 MVA installed; 25 kV interconnection
rings between plants and substations; air conditioning
installation; plumbing installation; fire detection and
extinguishing installation; sewer installation; etc.

The various projects that are currently being executed and that
have been developed during 2009 include the installation of
traffic guidance equipment at the Jerez airport, which should
position Elecnor as the company to watch among leading
installers of this type of airport-specific installations, given that
this project will have a point-to-point control system that is
only available at the most advanced airports in the world and
for which there are currently only a few examples of
installations operating in Spain in the testing phase.

Another noteworthy reference within airports is the project for


command and control of the Jerez airport power plant. There,
despite the technical difficulties of executing the project, all
jobs were performed while maintaining operational capacity at
all times: the airport’s normal operation was not affected.

WIND ENERGY

With 19,149 MW, Spain holds fourth place in the global


ranking of installed wind power, behind the United States,
Germany and China.

For 2010, it is estimated that the power to be installed will


decrease, a consequence of the publication of Royal
Decree-Law 6/2009 in May 2009, which caused a slow-
down in the processing of projects during the second half
of the year and which is going to condition wind energy
development over the next three-year period.

However, the proposal of a “Political Agreement for the


recovery of economic growth and the creation of employment”
announced by the Government places wind energy as the main
pillar of the electric system, and it establishes the objective of
reaching 35,000 MW of land-based wind energy and 5000
MW of sea-based wind energy by the year 2020. This proposal
likewise includes a review of the system of incentives for
renewable energies before December 2010.

Enerfín Sociedad de Energía, a subsidiary of the Elecnor


Group with over 15 years of experience, operates in the
wind energy sector. It participates in the development,

Spain and on the American continents.

of Elecnor’s eight Business Divisions.
• The work of the Department of Internal Audits on project
accident prevention was expanded and intensified: 784
audits of construction projects were performed, versus
the 540 that were performed in 2008 (a 45% increase).
• 19,525 safety inspections were performed to control the
real conditions under which jobs are performed. The re-
sult is that over 9,150 corrective measures were imple-
mented to improve safety conditions.
• The scheduled worker training and information activities
continued, during which actions were taken with appro-
ximately 6500 attendees, the majority of whom atten-
ded more than one training action. We should highlight
one action on this aspect of training that was carried out
with Direct Project Supervisors. It was attended by a total
of 1005 people for the purpose of improving their men-
tal preparation and integrating prevention in their daily
work.
• The Prevention Training System was revised, thereby
adapting it to the requirements of the new Professional
Card of the Metal Sector for construction projects. Like-
wise, official approval for training as a training entity for
the Metal Foundation was applied for and obtained, an
essential requirement to impart training.
• The Occupational-Psychological and Organisational Risk
Evaluation was updated in the entire company, resulting
in an acceptable level of trivial risk.
• Control actions on subcontractor companies continued,
for which a large majority of prevention inspections and
audits were directed at the jobs performed by those
companies. Coordination and training meetings were
held with them, and the computer program for subcon-
tractor control was modified to facilitate these control
tasks.

All these activities were performed for the ultimate


purpose of continuing with the continuous improvement
process gover ned by the company’s Integrated
Management System, thereby giving rise to
improvement of the safety conditions under which
workers perform their duties. The most important
reflection of all this effort was that the best frequency
index since 1967 was achieved, which is the year when
these indices started to be compiled at our company.
Specifically, the 2009 frequency index was 23.8,
meaning 5 points less than in 2008.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
a) Basis of presentation-
1. The consolidated financial statements for 2009 of the ELECNOR Group were prepared:
• By the directors of Elecnor, at its Board of Directors Meeting held on 17 February 2010.
• In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union, in conformity
with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council, including the International Accounting
Standards (IASs) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
and by the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The principal accounting policies and measurement bases applied in
preparing the ELECNOR Group's consolidated financial statements for 2009 are summarised in Note 3.
• Taking into account all the mandatory accounting policies and rules and measurement bases with a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements, as well as the alternatives in this connection, which are specified in Note 2-b to the ELEC-
NOR Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• So that they present fairly the ELECNOR Group's consolidated equity and financial position at 31 December 2009 and the
results of its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows in the year then ended.
• On the basis of the accounting records kept by Elecnor and by the other Group companies, which include the unincorporated
temporary joint ventures (“UTEs”) in which they had interests at 31 December 2009 and 2008. However, since the accounting
policies and measurement bases used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2009 (IFRSs) differ
from those used by the Group companies (local standards), the required adjustments and reclassifications were made on
consolidation to unify the policies and methods used and to make them compliant with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
The ELECNOR Group's consolidated financial statements for 2008 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting of Elecnor on 20 May 2009. The 2009 consolidated financial statements of the Group and the 2009 financial statements
of the Group companies have not yet been approved by their shareholders at the respective Annual General Meetings. However,
the Board of Directors of Elecnor considers that the aforementioned financial statements will be approved without any changes.

b) Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)-


IFRSs establish certain alternatives in their application, including most notably the following:
i) Investments in joint ventures may be proportionately consolidated or accounted for using the equity method, provided
that the same method is applied to all the interests in joint ventures held by the Group.
The Group opted to account for all the companies over which control is shared with the other shareholders using the equity
method, except for the UTEs, which were proportionately consolidated, as in the separate financial statements of the Parent.
ii) Both intangible assets and assets classified under “Non-Current Assets - Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” may be
measured at market value or at acquisition cost less any accumulated depreciation and amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
The Group opted to recognise the aforementioned assets at adjusted acquisition cost.
iii) Grants related to assets may be recognised by deducting the amount of the grants related to assets received for the
acquisition of the assets from the carrying amount of an asset or they may be presented as a non-current liability on the
balance sheet.
The Group opted for the latter.
iv) As permitted by IFRSs, it was decided not to apply IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before 1
January 2004.
v) The translation differences arising prior to 1 January 2004 were classified under “Equity - Other Reserves”.

Standards and interpretations applicable in 2009


In 2009 new accounting standards came into force and were therefore taken into account when preparing the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The following standards were applied in these consolidated financial statements but did not have a significant impact on
the figures reported or on the presentation and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements:

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 87


IFRS 8, Operating Segments-
The main new development introduced by this new standard, which replaces IAS 14, is that it requires an entity to adopt a
management approach when reporting on the financial performance of its business segments. Generally, the information to
be reported will be that used internally by management to assess segment performance and allocate resources to them.
Since the Group had already adopted a management approach in defining its business segments the application of IFRS 8
did not have any impact.

Revision of IAS 23, Borrowing Costs-


The principal change in this new revised version of IAS 23 is the elimination of the option of immediate recognition as an ex-
pense of borrowing costs associated with an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or
sale. These costs must now be capitalised.
Since the Group had already adopted the accounting policy of capitalising these costs, the application of this revised standard
did not have any impact.

Revision of IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements-


The purpose of the fundamental changes to this standard is to improve the presentation of the information so that users of
consolidated financial statements can analyse changes in equity arising from transactions with the owners acting in their capa-
city as owners (e.g. dividends and the repayment of capital) separately from non-owner changes (e.g. transactions with third
parties or income and expenses recognised directly in equity). The revised standard provides the option of presenting all the
income and expenses in one statement with subtotals, or in two statements (a separate income statement and a statement of
recognised income and expense). The latter option was chosen by the Group and, since a statement of consolidated compre-
hensive income was not presented in previous years (it was included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity), it
gave rise to the inclusion of this new financial statement in the consolidated financial statements.
IAS 1 also introduces new reporting requirements (presenting the balance sheet at an additional date) when the entity applies
an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a restatement or reclassifies items in previously issued financial statements. This re-
quirement did not have an impact in 2009 since the situation did not arise.

Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments – Disclosures-


The fundamental amendments to IFRS 7 relate to the requirement to provide enhanced disclosures about fair value measu-
rements and liquidity risk, the most significant of the former being the obligation to make disclosures about financial instru-
ments measured at fair value using a fair value hierarchy. Since the Group does not hold financial instruments classified under
this category, the entry into force of these amendments did not have a significant impact on these consolidated financial sta-
tements.
The other standards that came into force in 2009 did not have any impact on these consolidated financial statements since
they relate to transactions or items outside the scope of the Group’s activities.

IFRS 3 and IAS 27 -


The Group also opted to apply early the revised IFRS 3, Business Combinations and the amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements. These standards entail very significant changes in several matters relating to accounting
for business combinations which, in general, place greater emphasis on the use of fair value. Some of the most significant chan-
ges relate to the treatment of acquisition costs, which will be accounted for as expenses rather than considered to an increase
in the cost of the business combination as per the current accounting treatment; step acquisitions, in which the acquirer revalues
the previous investment at fair value on the date control is obtained; transactions between the Parent and non-controlling in-
terests (transactions subsequent to obtaining control in which the Parent acquires further ownership interests from non-con-
trolling interests or disposes of investments without losing control), which are accounted for as transactions with equity
instruments; or the option to measure at fair value the non-controlling interests in the acquiree rather than measure them at
the proportional part of the fair value of the net assets acquired as per the only current accounting treatment.
Although these standards are of obligatory application for years beginning on or after 1 July 2009, they may both be adopted
prospectively for years beginning on or after 30 June 2007. Consequently, as indicated above, the Group applied all the above
standards to the transactions that fall within their scope, performed on or after 1 January 2009. The most significant impacts
of this prospective application in the year ended 31 December 2009 are described in Note 2-g (it had no significant impacts on
2008).

IFRIC 12-
The Group has been applying IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, which establishes how the concession operators
must apply the existing IFRSs when accounting for the rights and obligations assumed under arrangements of this type, for se-
veral years. The main impact arising from the application of this interpretation is the recognition at fair value of the amount
received or receivable for the construction of the infrastructure to be operated and the accounting of this amount as a financial
asset if the concession operator has an unconditional contractual right to receive these amounts from the concession grantor,
i.e. regardless of the use of the service concerned by the public, or as an intangible asset if the receipt of these amounts is con-
tingent on the demand for the service.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet in force


At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the following most significant standards and inter-
pretations had been published by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) but had not yet come into force at 31
December 2009, either because their effective date is subsequent to the date of the consolidated financial statements or because
they had not yet been adopted by the European Union:

(2) Date of obligatory application as approved in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Amendment to IAS 39, Eligible Hedged Items-


This amendment to IAS 39 aims to clarify two specific hedge accounting issues: (a) when inflation can be a hedged risk, and
(b) when purchased options can be designated as hedges. According to the amendment inflation may only be hedged if it is a
contractually specified portion of the cash flows to be hedged. Only the intrinsic risk and not the time value of an option may
be hedged. The directors of the ELECNOR Group consider that the entry into force of this amendment will not have a significant
effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements because it has not arranged any hedges of the type affected by the
amendment.

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 89


Amendment to IAS 32, Classification of Rights Issues-
This amendment relates to the classification of foreign currency denominated rights issues (rights, options or warrants). Pur-
suant to this amendment, when these rights are to acquire a fixed number of shares in exchange for a fixed amount, they are
equity instruments, irrespective of the currency in which that fixed amount is denominated and provided that other require-
ments of the standard are fulfilled.
The ELECNOR Group did not issue instruments of this kind that would give rise to a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement-


IFRS 9 will in the future replace the current part of IAS 39 relating to classification and measurement. There are very significant
differences with respect to the current standard, including the approval of a new classification model based on only two cate-
gories, namely instruments measured at amortised cost and those measured at fair value, the disappearance of the current
“held-to-maturity investments” and “available-for-sale financial assets” categories, impairment analyses only for assets mea-
sured at amortised cost and the non-separation of embedded derivatives in financial contracts.
At the reporting date, the future impact of the adoption of this standard had still not been analysed.

Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment-


These amendments relate to the recognition of share-based payment transactions among group entities. The main change
is that the amendments supersede IFRIC 8 and IFRIC 11 and, accordingly, these interpretations will be repealed since their
content is included in the main body of the standard. It is clarified that an entity that receives services from employees or sup-
pliers should account for the transaction even if another group entity settles the arrangement and irrespective of whether it is
cash-settled or equity-settled.
In view of the nature of these amendments, they are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated
financial statements.

Revision of IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures-


The revision of IAS 24 addresses related party disclosures in financial statements. There are two new basic features. The first
provides a partial exemption from certain disclosure requirements when the transactions are between state-controlled entities
or government-related entities (or an equivalent government institution) and the definition of a related party was simplified,
clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition. The impact of these amendments was
analysed and it will not give rise to any changes in the related parties as currently defined by the ELECNOR Group.

IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate-


This interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction
of real estate, helping to clarify when an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11, Construction
Contracts and when it is within the scope of IAS 18, Revenue and, therefore, depending on the nature of the agreement, when
and how the revenue should be recognised.
The directors consider that the entry into force of this interpretation will not affect the consolidated financial statements
since the Company has been applying policies that are in line with those that have now been established in the interpretation.

IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners-


This interpretation applies to the accounting treatment of distributions of non-cash assets to an entity's owners (“dividends
payable”) although distributions of assets within the same group or between entities under common control are excluded from
its scope. The interpretation states that an entity must measure such liabilities at the fair value of the asset to be distributed
and that any difference between the carrying amount of the dividend payable and the carrying amount of the asset distributed
must be recognised in profit or loss.
The directors consider that the entry into force of this interpretation will not affect the consolidated financial statements
since the Company applied policies that were in line with those that have now been established in the interpretation when it
performed a transaction of this nature.
IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers-
This interpretation applies to the accounting of agreements in which an entity receives from a customer an asset that the
entity must then use to provide the customer with access to supplies of goods or services (usual in the case of electricity, gas or
water for example).
The ELECNOR Group does not hold any assets of this kind and, therefore, this amendment will not have any impact.

IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments-


This interpretation addresses the accounting by a debtor when all or part of a financial liability is extinguished through the
issue of equity instruments to the creditor. The interpretation does not apply to transactions in situations where the counter-
parties in question are shareholders or related parties, acting in their capacity as such, or where extinguishing the financial lia-
bility by issuing equity instruments is in accordance with the original terms of the financial liability. In this case, the equity
instruments issued are measured at fair value at the date the liability is extinguished and any difference between this value
and the carrying amount of the liability is recognised in profit or loss.
The ELECNOR Group does not expect this interpretation to give rise to any change in its accounting policies since it has not
performed transactions of this nature in the past.

c) Functional currency-
These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, since the euro is the currency used in the main
economic area in which the Group operates. Foreign operations are recognised in accordance with the policies established in
Note 3-f.

d) Responsibility for the information and use of estimates-


The information in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of ELECNOR.
In the ELECNOR Group's consolidated financial statements for 2009 estimates were occasionally made by the senior executives
of the Group and of the consolidated companies, later ratified by the directors, in order to quantify certain of the assets, lia-
bilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein. These estimates relate basically to the following:
• The evaluation of possible impairment losses on certain assets (see Notes 7, 8, 9 and 11);
• The evaluation of possible losses on projects in progress and/or the committed order backlog;
• The result relating to the percentage of completion of the projects;
• The useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Notes 8 and 9);
• The probability of occurrence and the amount of liabilities of uncertain amount or contingent liabilities (see Note 16).
• The measurement of goodwill (see Note 7); and
• The fair value of certain unquoted assets (see Notes 11 and 15).
Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at 31 December 2009 on the events analy-
sed, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates (upwards or downwards) in coming
years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, recognising
the effects of the change in estimates in the related consolidated income statement.

e) Comparative information-
As required by IAS 1, the information relating to 2009 contained in these notes to the consolidated financial statements is
presented, for comparison purposes, with similar information relating to 2008 and, accordingly, it does not constitute in itself
the ELECNOR Group's statutory consolidated financial statements for 2008.

f) Basis of consolidation-
Scope
The consolidated financial statements of the ELECNOR Group include all the subsidiaries of Elecnor, S.A. Control is presumed
to exist when the Parent owns directly or indirectly over half of the voting power of another company, except for exceptional
circumstances where it can be clearly demonstrated that this ownership does not imply control. Control is also deemed to exist
when the Parent holds half or less of the voting power of a company and has:

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 91


- power over half of the voting rights as a result of an agreement with other investors;
- the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the company under a legal or bylaw provision or by virtue of
an agreement;
- the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the Board of Directors;
- the power to issue the majority of the votes at Board meetings.

Procedures
The subsidiaries are fully consolidated and, therefore, all intra-Group balances, transactions, income and expenses are elimi-
nated.
In addition, all the financial statements used by the Parent and the subsidiaries relate to the same date and were prepared
using uniform accounting policies.
Non-controlling interests in the net assets of the subsidiaries are recognised in equity separately from the Parent’s equity.
Changes in the ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not give rise to a loss of control are accounted for as equity trans-
actions, i.e. any difference is recognised directly in equity.

Business combinations
The Group is considered to carry out a business combination when the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a
business. The Group recognises business combinations by using the acquisition method, which entails identifying the acquirer,
determining the acquisition date (that on which control is obtained), recognising and measuring the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest and recognising and measuring the gains.
The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at fair value at the acquisition date and non-con-
trolling interests are measured at fair value or at the proportional part of the interest in the identifiable net assets.
The Group recognises gains or goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below:
- (a): (i) the consideration transferred measured at acquisition-date fair value.
(ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest.
(iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the Group’s previously held equity
interest in the acquiree (the difference with respect to the previous cost is recognised in profit or loss).
- (b): the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
In the event that there is no excess and (b) is higher than (a), the Group repeats the analysis of all the elements in order to
determine whether the acquisition was made in truly advantageous conditions, in which case the difference is recognised in
profit or loss.

Loss of control
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the subsidiary’s assets (including goodwill) and liabilities and
the non-controlling interest at the carrying amount thereof at the date on which control is lost. The consideration received
and the interest maintained in the aforementioned company are recognised at fair value at the date on which control is lost
and any difference is recognised.

Interests in joint ventures and investments in associates


The Elecnor Group consolidates its interests in joint ventures (except for UTEs) and its investments in associates using the
equity method: a joint venture is where control is shared with the other shareholders and an associate is a company over which
significant influence is exercised.
According to this method, the investment is recognised initially at cost and is increased or decreased in accordance with the
corresponding portion of the results obtained by the company. The distributions received reduce the amount of the investment.
If the share in the losses exceeds the amount of the interest, the share of further losses is not recognised and a liability is re-
cognised, if applicable, in the event of legal or constructive obligations.
Regardless of the losses recognised as described above, the Group analyses any additional impairment according to the rules
governing financial assets (see Note 3-o), taking into account the investment as a whole and not only any associated goodwill.
UTEs are proportionately consolidated and the relevant percentage of the assets and liabilities of the corresponding entity
are recognised under the appropriate consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement headings together with
the portion corresponding to fully consolidated companies (see Note 1).

g) Changes in the scope of consolidation-


The most significant changes in the scope of consolidation in 2009 were as follows:

Inclusion of companies in the scope of consolidation and increases in ownership interests


• On 27 July 2008, the Parent Elecnor, S.A. acquired 49.50% of the shares of Deimos Space, S.L., thereby becoming the sole
shareholder. At the date of the transaction Deimos Space, S.L. owned 95%, 73.89% and 24% of the share capital of Deimos
Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, S.L., Deimos Imaging, S.L. and Deimos Engenharia, S.A., respectively, which together form the
Deimos sub-group.
The payment for the transaction comprises a fixed component and a variable component. The fixed component, amoun-
ting to EUR 7,704 thousand, was paid in 2009. The variable component will be calculated on the basis of the Deimos sub-
group’s profit over the next five years (2009-2013, inclusive) and its relation with the sub-group’s profit for 2008, after
making certain adjustments. The price calculated in this manner, from which the fixed component already paid will be de-
ducted, will be paid within seven months following 2013 year-end.
The Parent’s directors consider that the present value of the variable component, after deducting the fixed component,
is approximately EUR 12,418 thousand, which coincides with the maximum amount payable and is based on the assumption
that profit after tax of the Deimos sub-group will double in the five-year period from 2009 to 2013 with respect to the
profit for 2008.
Since the ELECNOR Group already controlled the Deimos sub-group prior to the transaction (see Note 2-f), the difference
between the acquisition cost of this transaction, which amounted to approximately EUR 20,122 thousand, and the value of
the non-controlling interests, which totalled EUR 2,708 thousand (see Note 13-e), was recognised under “Equity – Of the
Parent – Other Reserves” on the liability side of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
• Also on 27 July 2009, the Parent acquired a further 56% interest in Deimos Engenharia, S.A. which, as indicated above, be-
longs to the Deimos sub-group, as a result of which it directly or indirectly controls 80% of the company’s share capital.
The method used to estimate the price of this transaction was the same as that used to acquire the 49.5% of the Deimos
sub-group described above. The fixed component, paid in 2009, amounted to approximately EUR 1,453 thousand and the
variable component, on the basis of the assumptions used by the Parent’s directors to estimate the variable component of
the previous transaction, totalled approximately EUR 2,181 thousand (present value: approximately EUR 1,948 thousand).
Since the ELECNOR Group obtained control of Deimos Engenharia, S.A. by means of this transaction, it was considered a
business combination (see Note 2-f). Consequently, in accordance with the bases of consolidation currently in force, the
ELECNOR Group first estimated the fair value at the date of the business combination of the Group’s indirect interest prior
to the acquisition date (24%), using the price calculated for the acquisition of the remaining 56% as a reference. The dif-
ference of approximately EUR 676 thousand between this fair value, which amounted to approximately EUR 1,458 thousand,
and the cost of the previous interest was credited to “Net Gains on Disposal of Non-Current Assets” in the consolidated in-
come statement for the year ended 31 December 2009.
The goodwill arising on the acquisition of this subsidiary, calculated as the sum of the consideration transferred, the
amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree (measured as the percentage of ownership of the net assets) and the
fair value of the interest in the acquiree held previously by the acquirer over the net fair value of the identifiable net assets
recognised, which amounted to approximately EUR 4,227 thousand, was recognised under “Intangible Assets – Goodwill”
on the asset side of the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 7).
The impact of the revenue and profit generated for the ELECNOR Group by this company since 1 January 2009 was not
significant with respect to the Group’s total volume.
• On 27 August 2009, Sociedad Aguas Residuales Pirineos, S.A. was incorporated for an amount of EUR 9 million, 50% of
which was subscribed by the Parent, Elecnor, S.A. 25% of this amount, i.e. EUR 1,125 thousand, were paid on incorporation
of the company. The remaining 50% was subscribed by a third party. Sociedad Aguas Residuales Pirineos, S.A. is considered
to be a joint venture, to the extent that it is managed and administered jointly by the two shareholders.
The most significant changes in the scope of consolidation in 2008 were as follows:

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 93


Inclusion of companies in the scope of consolidation and increases in ownership interests
• On 22 May and 21 July 2008, Caraveli Cotaruse Transmisora de Energía, S.A.C., wholly owned by the subsidiary Isonor Trans-
mission, S.A.C. (50% owned by Elecnor, S.A.), was incorporated in Peru and its capital was subsequently increased by PEN
14,516 thousand, equal to approximately EUR 1,644 thousand.
• Enerfín Energy Company, L.L.C. (USA) and Enerfín Energy Company of Canada, INC (CANADA) were incorporated with share
capital of EUR 1,465 thousand and EUR 816 thousand, respectively, both wholly owned. Also, Coyote Wind, L.L.C. (USA),
was acquired and Eoliennes de Lérable, INC (CANADA) was incorporated, both of which are investees of the aforementioned
companies.
• In June 2008 Placarmada, S.A. was merged by absorption into its sole shareholder Postes Nervión, S.A. and the company
name of the latter was subsequently changed to Adhorna Prefabricación, S.A.

Exclusion of companies from the scope of consolidation and decreases in ownership interests
• In 2008 the Group sold 16% of the subsidiary Enervento Galicia, S.L., which had previously been wholly owned by Enerfin
Enervento, S.A. This transaction did not give rise to significant proceeds.

3. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES AND MEASUREMENT BASES APPLIED


a) Non-current assets classified as held for sale-
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction
rather than through use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for
immediate sale in its present condition. Management of the ELECNOR Group must be committed to a sale plan, which should
be expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. At 31 December 2009, approximately EUR 4,611
thousand were recognised under this asset heading in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, relating mainly to the
cost of the former facilities of the subsidiary Aplicaciones Técnicas de la Energía, S.L. in Catarroja (Valencia).

b) Goodwill-
Goodwill arising on consolidation is calculated as explained in Note 2-f.
Goodwill acquired on or after 1 January 2004 is measured at acquisition cost and that acquired earlier is recognised at the
carrying amount at 31 December 2003 in accordance with the accounting policies applied until that date (see Note 2-f). In both
cases, goodwill has not been amortised since 1 January 2004, and at the end of each reporting period it is reviewed for impair-
ment (i.e. a reduction in its recoverable amount to below its carrying amount) and, if there is any impairment, the goodwill is
written down (see Note 3-k).
Any impairment losses recognised for goodwill must not be reversed in a subsequent period.

c) Revenue recognition-
Revenue from sales and services rendered is measured at the fair value of the assets or rights received as consideration for
the goods and services provided in the normal course of the Group companies' business, net of discounts and applicable taxes.

c.1 Construction contracts and the rendering of services-


When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised
by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date.
This means that the percentage of total estimated revenue that the costs incurred in the year represent in relation to total
estimated costs is recognised as revenue for the year.
Total revenue comprises the initial amount agreed in the contract and any highly probable variations and claims that can be
measured reliably.
Total costs comprise costs that relate directly to the specific contract, costs that are attributable to contract activity in general
and can be allocated to the specific contract and such other costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer under the
terms of the contract.
Potential losses on projects in progress are recognised in full when they become known or can be estimated.
Progress billings and advances, which are recognised under “Trade and Other Payables - Customer Advances and Advance
Billings” on the liability side of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, amounted to approximately EUR 292,604 thou-
sand at 31 December 2009 (31 December 2008: EUR 320,803 thousand) (see Note 17).
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised when it can be estimated reliably, taking into account the stage of com-
pletion of the end service. If revenue cannot be estimated reliably, only an amount equal to the recognised expenses considered
to be recoverable is recognised.
In 2009 the ELECNOR Group recognised revenue in relation to various of its stage of completion contracts and the rendering
of services amounting to approximately EUR 1,556 million (2008: EUR 1,658 million) (see Note 21).
Lastly, the amounts relating to retentions made by customers amounted to approximately EUR 19,198 thousand in 2009
(2008: EUR 25,336 thousand) and are recognised under “Trade and Other Receivables” on the asset side of the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

c.2 Sales of goods-


Sales of goods are recognised when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred,
the Group does not retain control over them, revenue can be measured reliably and is likely to be received and the transaction
costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

c.3 Interest income, royalties and dividend income-


Interest income, royalties and dividend income are recognised provided that it is likely that they will be received and they
can be measured reliably.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash flows over the expected life of the financial asset to the carrying amount of the asset.
Royalties are recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the agreement.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's rights to receive payment have been established.

d) Leases-
The ELECNOR Group classifies leases as finance leases whenever the lessor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are classified in the appropriate non-current asset category based on their nature and func-
tion at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the aggregate present values of the amounts payable to the lessor
plus the price of exercising the purchase option, with a credit to “Bank Borrowings and Other Financial Liabilities” in the con-
solidated balance sheet. These assets are depreciated using similar criteria to those applied to the assets of the same nature
owned by the ELECNOR Group.
Expenses arising on operating leases are allocated to “Other Operating Expenses” in the consolidated income statement over
the term of the lease on an accrual basis. The leases are generally renewable on an annual basis.

e) Borrowing costs-
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are
substantially ready for their intended use or sale (see Note 3-h). Investment income earned on the temporary investment of
specific cash borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for ca-
pitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

f) Foreign currency balances and transactions-


The ELECNOR Group's functional currency is the euro. Therefore, all balances and transactions in currencies other than the
euro are deemed to be “foreign currency transactions”.
131. Transactions in currencies other than the euro are translated to euros at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 95


the transaction. During the year, differences between the exchange rate used and the rate prevailing at the date of the collec-
tion or payment are recognised with a charge or credit to income, except in the following cases:
• Exchange differences arising from foreign currency loans that finance assets under construction. These exchange differences
are capitalised.
• Exchange differences arising from hedging transactions (see Note 15).
• Exchange differences arising from a liability denominated in a foreign currency which is treated for accounting purposes
as a hedge of the company’s net investment in a foreign operation.
Also, fixed-income securities and receivables and payables in currencies other than the euro at 31 December of each year
and other than the currencies in which the financial statements of the consolidated companies are denominated are translated
to euros at the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Any exchange differences arising are recognised with a
charge or a credit, as appropriate, to “Exchange Differences” in the consolidated income statement.
Foreign currency transactions in which the ELECNOR Group has decided to reduce the foreign currency risk by arranging fi-
nancial derivatives or other hedging instruments are accounted for as described in Note 3-m.
None of the functional currencies of the consolidated subsidiaries and associates located abroad relate to hyperinflationary
economies as defined by IFRSs except in the case of Uruguay and, since the end of 2009, Venezuela. In any case, at 2009 year-
end, the financial statements of these companies were not adjusted for the effect of inflation since, in the opinion of the Pa-
rent’s directors, the impact would not be significant.
The detail of the equivalent euro value of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the euro
of the ELECNOR Group at 31 December 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Bank borrowings (Note 14) - 20,071 - 19,878
Total 231,781 159,066 154,030 68,021
g) Income tax-
The expense for Spanish corporation tax and similar taxes applicable to the foreign consolidated companies is recognised in
the consolidated income statement unless it arises from a transaction the results of which are recognised directly in equity, in
which case the related tax is also recognised in equity.
The income tax expense is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. This method consists of determining de-
ferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax base, using the tax rates that can objectively be expected to apply when the assets are realised and the liabilities are settled
(see Notes 18 and 19). Since 1 January 2008, the standard Spanish corporation tax rate has been 30%.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from direct charges or credits to equity accounts are also accounted for with a charge
or credit to equity.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, unless the temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of goodwill, goodwill for which amortisation is not deductible for tax purposes, or from the initial recognition
(except in the case of a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither accounting
profit nor taxable profit.
The ELECNOR Group recognises deferred tax assets to the extent that it is considered probable that there will be sufficient
taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.
Also, double taxation tax credits and other tax credits and tax relief earned as a result of economic events occurring in the
year are deducted from the income tax expense, unless there are doubts as to whether they can be realised.
Under IFRSs, deferred taxes are classified as non-current assets or liabilities even if they are expected to be realised in the
next twelve months.
The income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and the changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities
that are not recognised in equity (see Notes 18 and 19).
The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reassessed at each balance sheet date in order to ascertain whether
they still exist, and the appropriate adjustments are made on the basis of the findings of the analyses performed.

h) Property, plant and equipment-


Property, plant and equipment, which are all for own use, are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at acquisition cost
less any accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment losses. However, prior to 1 January 2004, the ELECNOR Group
revalued certain items of property, plant and equipment as permitted by the applicable legislation. The ELECNOR Group, in
conformity with IFRSs, treated the amount of these revaluations as part of the cost of these assets because it considered that
the revaluations reflected the effect of inflation (see Note 2-b).
With respect to the costs incurred after the start-up of the asset, the following should be taken into account:
- The costs arising from maintaining the asset, i.e. repairs and upkeep, are recognised directly as period expenses.
- The cost of replacements is recognised as an asset and the cost of the replaced item is derecognised.
The capitalised costs include the borrowing costs incurred in the construction period in construction work lasting for more
than one year. Total capitalised borrowing costs included under “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” on the asset side of the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2009 and 2008 were not significant since most of the wind farms
were already being operated prior to these years.
Group work on non-current assets is recognised at accumulated cost (external costs plus in-house costs, determined on the
basis of in-house warehouse materials consumption, and manufacturing costs allocated using hourly absorption rates similar
to those used for the measurement of inventories). In 2009 approximately EUR 47,737 thousand were recognised in this con-
nection, under “Other Operating Income” in the consolidated income statement, relating mostly to the construction of wind
farms and water treatment plants. This income amounted to approximately EUR 44,972 thousand in 2008, and related mainly
to items similar to those of 2009.
The ELECNOR Group generally depreciates its property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, distributing the
cost of the assets over the following years of estimated useful life:

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 97


Average years of estimated useful life
Buildings 33-50
Plant and machinery (*) 10-20
Hand and machine tools 3 -10
Furniture 3-10
Computer hardware 3-5
Transport equipment 2-10
Other items of property, plant and equipment 3-10

(*) Including the machinery and fixtures allocated to wind power projects, basically WTGSs, which are depreciated over a period of between 15 and 20 years.

The Parent's directors consider that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed their recoverable amount, which is
calculated on the basis of the future cash flows that the assets will generate (see Note 3-k).
Since the ELECNOR Group does not have to incur significant costs in relation to the closure of its facilities, the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet does not include any provision in this connection.

i) Other intangible assets-


The other intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance which arise as a result of a legal
transaction or which are developed internally by the Group companies. They are recognised initially at acquisition or production
cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses, provided
that it is probable that they will generate economic benefits and their cost can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets developed internally


Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
The expenses incurred in the development of various projects are recognised as an asset provided that they meet the following
conditions:
• The expenditure is specifically identified and controlled by project and its distribution over time is clearly defined.
• The directors are able to demonstrate how the project will generate benefits in the future.
• The development cost of the asset, which includes, where applicable, the ELECNOR Group's staff costs relating to employees
working on these projects, can be measured reliably.
Internally generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in
the year in which it is incurred.

Intangible assets acquired separately


These items are recognised at acquisition cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is gene-
rally five years.

j) Administrative concessions-
The Group considers that the items relating to the administrative concessions that it holds cannot be classified as property,
plant and equipment since the contracts do not grant the right to use these assets but rather gives access to them in order to
provide a public service on behalf of the concession grantor.
Given that the Group provides various services (construction, maintenance and operation) under these contracts, income is
recognised in accordance with the fair value of each service rendered.

Construction services
The Group first analyses whether the consideration consists of a right over a financial asset or an intangible asset, depending
on whether it has the unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset for a specific or determinable amount or
the right to charge the public for a service, in which case the collections will depend on the use of the service rendered.
These rights are accounted for as described above for each type of asset (see Notes 3-i and 3-m).

Maintenance and operation services


These services are accounted for as set forth in Note 3-c.

k) Asset impairment-
At each balance sheet date, the ELECNOR Group reviews the non-current assets to determine whether there is any indication
that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated
in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset itself does not generate cash flows that are
independent from other assets, the ELECNOR Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which
the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised for the difference
with a charge to “Depreciation and Amortisation Charge and Impairment Losses” in the consolidated income statement. Im-
pairment losses recognised for an asset in prior years are reversed with a credit to the aforementioned heading when there is
a change in the estimates concerning the recoverable amount of the asset, increasing the carrying amount of the asset, but so
that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment
loss been recognised, except in the case of the impairment of goodwill, which is not reversible.

l) Inventories-
“Inventories” in the consolidated balance sheet includes the assets that the ELECNOR Group:
• Holds for sale in the ordinary course of its business;
• Has in the course of production, construction or development to this end, except for construction in progress for which re-
venue is recognised as indicated in Note 3-c; or
• Expects to consume in the production process or in the provision of services.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all acquisition and processing costs, including
those incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
If the inventories are not ordinarily interchangeable items, a specific cost is established for them whereas the weighted ave-
rage cost is used for the rest.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price net of the estimated costs required to complete the production of inventories
and to sell them.
The detail of “Inventories” of the Elecnor Group for 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Thousands of euros
31/12/09 31/12/08
Raw materials and other supplies 13,545 21,462
Goods held for resale 539 591
Semi-finished and finished goods 9,138 28,920
Advances to suppliers 17,926 22,943
41,148 73,916

m) Financial instruments-
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to a contract, in accordance with the contractual
clauses of the related instrument.

Financial assets
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus, unless the asset is recognised as a held-for-trading financial asset,
the transaction costs.
The ELECNOR Group classifies its current and non-current financial assets in four categories:
• Held-for-trading financial assets. Assets acquired with the intention of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 99


their prices or from differences between their purchase and sale prices, and financial derivatives that have not been desig-
nated as effective hedging instruments. The assets included in this category are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at
fair value, and the gains and losses from changes in fair value are recognised in the net profit or loss for the year.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties
in an arm's length transaction. Notes 11 and 12 explain the methods used by the Group to obtain the corresponding fair value.
• Held-to-maturity financial assets. These are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that
the ELECNOR Group has the positive intention and ability to hold from the date of purchase to the date of maturity. Held-
to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost, and the interest income is recognised in profit or loss on the basis
of the effective interest rate.
The amortised cost is understood to be the initial cost minus principal repayments, plus or minus, as appropriate, the cumu-
lative amortisation, using the effective interest rate method, of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity
amount, and minus any reduction for impairment or uncollectibility.
The effective interest rate is taken to be the discount rate that, at the acquisition date of the asset, exactly matches the initial
carrying amount of a financial instrument to all its estimated cash flows of all kinds through its residual life.
• Originated loans and receivables. These are financial assets of a fixed or determined amount originated by the companies
in exchange for supplying cash, goods or services directly to a debtor. These financial assets are measured at amortised cost.
• Available-for-sale financial assets. These are all the financial assets that are not included in any of the aforementioned three
categories and relate substantially in full to equity securities. These investments are recognised in the consolidated balance
sheet at fair value. Changes in this market value, except for impairment losses, are recognised with a charge or credit to
“Unrealised Asset and Liability Revaluation Reserve” in the consolidated balance sheet, until these investments are disposed
of, when the accumulated balance of this heading relating to these investments is allocated in full to the consolidated in-
come statement.
Management of the ELECNOR Group decides on the most appropriate classification for each asset on acquisition and reviews
the classification at each balance sheet date.
The ELECNOR Group derecognises financial assets if the contractual rights to receive a cash flow from the assets have expired
or if the assets are sold or transferred to another company, transferring all the risks and rewards associated with those assets.

Impairment of financial assets


Except for the financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, the financial assets are analysed by ELECNOR
Group management in order to test them for impairment periodically and at least at the end of each reporting period. A fi-
nancial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected as
a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset.
For the other financial assets, the ELECNOR Group considers the following to be objective indicators of impairment:
• Financial difficulty of the issuer or significant counterparty.
• Shortfall or delays in payment.
• Probability that the borrower will become bankrupt or be subject to a financial reorganisation.

Cash and cash equivalents


“Cash and Cash Equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheet includes cash, demand deposits and other highly liquid short-
term investments that can be realised in cash quickly and are not subject to a risk of changes in value.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities held for trading and other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities held for trading


Financial liabilities held for trading are liabilities acquired with the objective of repurchasing them in the short term or de-
rivatives that have not been designated as effective hedging instruments. They are measured at fair value and any gains or
losses generated are recognised in profit or loss for the corresponding year.
Other financial liabilities
The other financial liabilities, including loans, debentures and other similar liabilities, are initially recognised at fair value,
net of direct issue costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting


The Group's activities expose it mainly to the financial risks of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. To hedge
these exposures, the ELECNOR Group uses foreign currency hedges, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps for hedging
purposes.
Financial derivatives are initially recognised at acquisition cost in the consolidated balance sheet and the required valuation
adjustments are subsequently made to reflect their fair value at all times. Gains and losses arising from these changes are re-
cognised in the consolidated income statement, unless the derivative has been designated as a hedge which is highly effective,
in which case it is recognised as follows:
• In the case of fair value hedges, if any, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments designated as hedges
and changes in the fair value of a hedged item due to the hedged risk are recognised with a charge or credit, as appropriate,
to the consolidated income statement.
• In the case of cash flow hedges, if any, the changes in the fair value of the hedging derivatives are recognised, in respect
of the ineffective portion of the hedges, in the consolidated income statement, and the effective portion is recognised
under “Unrealised Asset and Liability Revaluation Reserve” and “Translation Differences”, as appropriate, in the consolida-
ted balance sheet. The accumulated loss or gain under these headings is recognised in the consolidated income statement
in the same period as that in which the hedged item affects net profit or loss or in the year it is disposed of.
If a hedge of a firm commitment or forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-finan-
cial liability, this balance is taken into account in the initial measurement of the asset or liability arising from the hedged
transaction. If a hedge of a firm commitment or forecasted transaction does not result in the recognition of a non-financial
asset or a non-financial liability, the amounts credited or charged, respectively, to “Unrealised Asset and Liability Revaluation
Reserve” in the consolidated balance sheet are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the same period as that
in which the hedged item affects the net profit or loss.
The ELECNOR Group periodically tests the effectiveness of its hedges, and the related tests are performed prospectively
and retrospectively. All hedging transactions are submitted for approval to the Board of Directors of the Group company
in question and are documented and signed by the corresponding financial manager, as required by IAS 39.
• When hedge accounting is discontinued, any cumulative loss or gain at that date recognised under “Unrealised Asset and
Liability Revaluation Reserve” is retained under that heading until the hedged transaction occurs, at which time the loss or
gain on the transaction will be adjusted. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss recognised
under the aforementioned heading is transferred to profit or loss.
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments, if any, are treated as separate derivatives when their characteristics
and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not carried at fair value with un-
realised gains or losses reported with a charge or a credit to the consolidated income statement.

n) Treasury shares-
The treasury shares held by the ELECNOR Group at year-end, which amounted to approximately EUR 5,277 thousand (31 De-
cember 2008: EUR 27,344 thousand), are recognised at acquisition cost and are deducted from “Equity - Other Reserves” in the
consolidated balance sheet. At 31 December 2009, they represented 0.82% (31 December 2008: 4.1%) of the issued share capital
at that date (see Note 13).
The gains and losses obtained by the ELECNOR Group on the disposal of treasury shares are recognised with a charge or a
credit to “Equity - Other Reserves” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

o) Provisions-
The Group recognises provisions for the estimated amount required to suitably meet its liability, whether it be legal or cons-
tructive, probable or certain, arising from contingencies, litigation in process or obligations, which arise as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required, provided that it is possible to make a reasonable

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 101


estimate of the amount in question. Provisions are recognised when the liability or obligation arises (see Note 16) with a charge
to the relevant heading in the consolidated income statement based on the nature of the obligation, for the present value of
the provision when the effect of discounting the obligation is material.
Contingent liabilities relating to possible obligations (depending on the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future
events) or to present obligations that do not qualify for the recognition of a provision (because they are improbable or they
cannot be measured reliably) (see Note 16) are not recognised.

p) Government grants-
Non-refundable grants related to assets awarded by official bodies are recognised at the time of the award for the amount
awarded under “Non-Current Liabilities – Grants” and will be allocated to profit or loss each year in proportion to the accoun-
ting depreciation taken in the period on the financed assets.
At 31 December 2009, the ELECNOR Group had received grants related to assets amounting to approximately EUR 4.7 million.
Grants related to assets of EUR 4.5 million were awarded by the Castilla y León Autonomous Community Government to the
subsidiary Deimos Imaging, S.L. in relation to a project to construct a satellite that is under way. The ELECNOR Group will start
to recognise this grant in income when the construction project is completed and the associated assets start to be depreciated.
Grants related to income are allocated to income in the year in which the related expenses are incurred. “Other Operating
Income” in the consolidated income statements for 2009 and 2008 includes approximately EUR 3,431 thousand and EUR 3,482
thousand, respectively, in this connection. Most of the grants related to income received by the ELECNOR Group in 2009 related
to the costs borne by Deimos Space, S.L.U. and its subsidiaries in the performance of their activities.

q) Equity instruments-
Equity instruments issued by the ELECNOR Group companies are recognised in equity at the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs.
r) Consolidated statement of changes in equity-
The applicable regulations establish that certain categories of assets and liabilities must be recognised at fair value through
equity. The amounts recognised in equity, known as valuation adjustments, are included in the Group’s equity net of the related
tax effect, which was recognised as deferred tax assets or liabilities, as appropriate. The consolidated statement of changes in
equity presents the changes that have arisen in the year in valuation adjustments, plus the results generated in the year
plus/minus, as appropriate, the adjustments made for changes in accounting policies or due to prior years’ errors. The changes
in capital and reserves during the year are also included.

s) Consolidated statement of cash flows-


The following terms are used in the consolidated statement of cash flows, which were prepared using the indirect method,
with the meanings specified:
• Cash flows. Inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
• Operating activities. The principal revenue-producing activities of the ELECNOR Group companies and other activities that
are not investing or financing activities.
• Investing activities. The acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash
equivalents.
• Financing activities. Activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity and borrowings that are not
operating activities.

t) Earnings per share-


Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the ELECNOR Group by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ELECNOR shares
held in the year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all the potential ordinary shares into ordinary
shares of the Company.
At 31 December 2009 and 2008, basic earnings per share coincided with diluted earnings per share, since there were no po-
tential shares outstanding during the years then ended.

u) Dividends-
The interim dividend approved by the Board of Directors in 2009 is presented as a deduction from the ELECNOR Group's
equity. However, the final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors of ELECNOR to the shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting is not deducted from equity until it has been approved by the latter.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY


The ELECNOR Group is exposed to certain financial risks that it manages by grouping together risk identification, measure-
ment, concentration limitation and supervision systems. The ELECNOR Corporate Division and the business units coordinate
the management and limitation of financial risks. The financial risk management activities are approved at the highest executive
level, in accordance with the established rules, policies and procedures.

a) Market risk (mainly foreign currency and other price risks)-


This risk arises as a result of the international transactions carried out by the ELECNOR Group in the ordinary course of its bu-
siness. Certain of its revenues and procurement costs are denominated in US dollars, or in a currency whose value is closely
linked to that of the US dollar or which relates to an economy that is highly dependent on the US dollar, although a variable
portion of the expenses may be denominated in euros. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of financial instruments denominated
in currencies other than the euro as a result of foreign operations due to exchange rate fluctuations could affect the Group's
future earnings (see Note 3-f).
In order to manage and minimise this risk, the ELECNOR Group uses hedging strategies, since its objective is to generate
profits only through its ordinary business, and not by speculating in relation to exchange rate fluctuations.
The ELECNOR Group assigns a portion of the future cash flows to hedge the net exposure in US dollars at short term on the
basis of the firm backlog.
Each Business Division evaluates the risk arising from the exchange rate on a transaction or a project and if it is considered
necessary to hedge the exposure to foreign currency risk, authorisation is requested from the Group’s Corporate Finance Divi-
sion, which in turn submits it through the corresponding note to the Board of Directors of the Parent which will ultimately
have to decide whether or not to approve the related hedging transaction.
The instruments used to establish this hedging are basically debt tied to the currency in which collections under the contract
are made, foreign currency hedges and swaps, through which the ELECNOR Group and the bank exchange flows from a loan
in euros for flows from another loan in US dollars.
The Group is also exposed to the risk that its cash flows and results may be affected by, inter alia, the evolution of energy
prices. In order to manage and minimise this risk the Group occasionally uses hedging strategies (see Note 15).

b) Interest rate risk-


Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates and the future flows
from assets and liabilities tied to floating interest rates. The ELECNOR Group has arranged borrowings to enable it to carry on
its operations, mainly in connection with the development, construction and subsequent operation of wind farms, which it
does under a project financing arrangement. Under financing of this nature, in the case of wind farms located in Spain, interest
rate risk must be hedged contractually through the arrangement of interest rate hedging instruments.
Borrowings are arranged nominally at a floating rate tied mainly to Euribor (euro zone) and Libor, using, where appropriate,
hedging instruments to minimise the risk on long-term financing. The hedging instruments, which are specifically assigned to
debt instruments and are limited to the same nominal value as the latter and the same maturity dates as the hedged items, re-
late basically to IRSs, the aim of which is to convert loans originally arranged at floating rates to fixed rates. Note 14 contains
disclosures on the sensitivity of debt to interest rate fluctuations.

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 103


c) Liquidity risk-
The ELECNOR Group holds cash and highly liquid non-speculative short-term instruments, such as Treasury bills under non-
optional reverse repurchase agreement and very short-term deposits, through leading banks, in order to be able to meet its
future commitments, and arranges committed credit facilities of a sufficient amount to cover its projected needs. In this regard,
at 2009 year-end the Group had unused committed credit facilities amounting to approximately EUR 209,659 thousand (2008
year-end: approximately EUR 220,102 thousand) (see Note 14).

d) Credit risk-
The ELECNOR Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables, to the extent that a counterparty or customer
does not meet its contractual obligations. Therefore, products and services are only sold to customers with an appropriate
credit track record. Although the Group’s customers have good credit rating, the general downturn in the economic and fi-
nancial situation, the effect of which started to be felt in the first half of 2008, made it advisable for the Parent to take out a
credit insurance policy. This policy was in force from May 2008 and was arranged for a term of one year, insuring a sum of EUR
5 million. It was not renewed on expiration. Also, instruments such as factoring without recourse arrangements are used, whe-
reby the related collection risk is transferred to the related factors.
Additionally, in the case of international sales to non-recurring customers, mechanisms such as irrevocable letters of credit
and documentary credits are used to ensure collection. Also, the financial solvency of customers is analysed and specific terms
and conditions are included in contracts aimed at guaranteeing payment of the stipulated price.
In the case of the wind farms, the power produced, in accordance with the legislative framework for the electricity industry
in force, is sold to the electricity distributor in each area, which generally belongs to corporate groups of acknowledged solvency.
Ventos do Sul Energia, S.A. (Brazil) had entered into a twelve-year agreement for the sale of the electricity it produces to the
Brazilian electricity distributor.
The ELECNOR Group carries out periodic analyses of its exposure to credit risk, recognising the corresponding provisions (see
Note 3-k).

5. DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT
At its meeting in March 2010, as in prior years, the Board of Directors of ELECNOR, S.A. (Parent of the ELECNOR Group) will
propose the distribution of 2009 profit and will therefore establish the portion thereof that will be paid as a final dividend and
that which will be allocated to voluntary reserves.
In this regard, at the meeting held on 15 October 2009, the Board of Directors of the Parent resolved to distribute an interim
dividend for 2009 of approximately EUR 4,530 thousand, which was recognised as a reduction in equity under “Interim Dividend
for the Year” on the liability side of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This dividend was paid in full in 2009.
The provisional accounting statement prepared by the Parent in accordance with legal requirements (Article 216 of the Con-
solidated Spanish Public Limited Liability Companies Law) evidencing the existence of sufficient liquidity for the distribution of
the dividend was as follows:

6. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group has adopted IFRS 8, which requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of the management infor-
mation used internally. The directors consider that this explanation does not entail any change with respect to the previous
standard since the segmentation applied in previous years is used.
The directors consider that the segments that must be reported, since they form the basis on which decisions are taken for
allocating resources and assessing performance, are Spain and Abroad. In each of these markets the Group obtains revenue
corresponding to Elecnor’s various business activities.

a) Information on operating segments-


Assets and liabilities of general use and the income and expenses arising therefrom were not attributed to the other segments.
Similarly, the reconciling items arising from the comparison of the result of integrating the financial statements of the various
business segments (which were established on the basis of management criteria) with the consolidated financial statements of
the ELECNOR Group were not allocated. These items are included under the heading “Corporate Unit” in the information
shown below.
Segment information is presented below:

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 107


Broadly speaking, the geographical location of the ELECNOR Group’s customers does not differ significantly from the geo-
graphical location of the assets of the primary segments considered.

b) Information on products and services-


The Elecnor Group’s business lines are as follows:
• Electricity
• Facilities
• Gas
• Renewable Energy and Industry
• Railways
• Construction and Water
• Telecommunications Infrastructure
• Telecommunications Systems
• Maintenance
The generation of electricity (within the Renewable Energy and Industry segment) using wind farms is one of the lines of bu-
siness of the ELECNOR Group which is carried on through the dependent subgroups of which Enerfín Enervento, S.A., Enerfín
Sociedad de Energía, S.A. and Elecnor Financiera, S.L. are the parents.
The electricity generation business of the ELECNOR Group's Spanish subsidiaries is regulated by Electricity Industry Law
54/1997, of 27 November, and by the subsequent implementing regulations.
Royal Decree 436/2004, of 12 March, was published on 27 March 2004. This Royal Decree established the methodology for
updating, systematising and consolidating the legal and economic regime governing the production of electricity under the
special regime. This Royal Decree established two remuneration options for facilities producing electricity under the special re-
gime. The first consists of the sale of the power produced to the electricity distributor at a fixed price consisting of a percentage
of the average electricity tariff defined in Article 2 of Royal Decree 1432/2002, of 27 December, which is between 90% and
80% throughout the life of the facility. The second consists of the sale of the power in the wholesale market at the market
price plus an incentive and a premium of 10% and 40%, respectively, of the average electricity tariff.
This regime came into force on 28 March 2004, and there is a transitional period until 1 January 2007 for facilities subject to
Royal Decree 2818/1998, during which the new economic regime would not apply to them unless they decided otherwise by
expressly waiving their entitlement to the previous regime, which they could not choose to apply again once such a decision
had been taken. The Group did not avail itself of this transitional regime.
Royal Decree 661/2007, of 25 May, regulating the production of electricity under the special regime, was published on 26
May 2007. This Royal Decree established two remuneration options for facilities producing electricity under the special regime.
The first option is based on the sale of all the power produced to the electricity distributor at a fixed price not tied to the
average electricity tariff. The second option consists of selling the energy on the electricity production market, receiving the
market price plus a premium, with a mechanism whereby the remuneration of the premium varies depending on the market
price, setting minimum and maximum limits for the end price to be received by the producer.
This regime came into force on 1 January 2008, and there is a transitional period until 31 December 2012 for facilities subject
to Royal Decree 436/2004, during which the new economic regime will not apply to them unless they decide otherwise by ex-
pressly waiving their entitlement to the previous regime. The Directorate-General of Energy Policy and Mines must be informed
of the choice of the economic regime before 1 January 2009.
By virtue of the provisions of aforementioned Royal Decree 436/2004, of 12 March, which governed the activities of all the
Spanish subsidiaries of the ENERFÍN ENERVENTO Subgroup and those of Elecnor Financiera, S.L. until 2008, the Group opted to
sell the power produced by the various wind farms on the electricity production market. Availing itself of the transitional pro-
vision established in the aforementioned Royal Decree 661/2007, of 25 May, the Group opted to continue applying the regime
established under the former Royal Decree during the transitional period. Therefore, their revenue is currently obtained from
three different sources. On the one hand, revenue from power sales and variances settled and billed to OMEL (Operador del
Mercado Ibérico de Energía - Polo Español, S.A.) and MEFF (Mercado Español de Futuros Financieros), respectively, and, on the
other, the regulated revenue (premium, incentive and supplementary payments) settled and billed to the distributor with which
the related facilities are connected, as established by the aforementioned Royal Decree in this connection.
Royal Decree 1011/2009 was published on 20 June 2009. This Decree provides that the Spanish National Energy Commission
(CNE) is responsible for monitoring compliance with the legislation and procedures governing changes in supplier and for the
activities of the Supplier Switching Office. This change means that regulated revenue (premium, incentive and supplementary
payments) is settled and billed through the CNE, which acts as an intermediary between electricity producers that produce
under the special regime and the market’s distributors.
Also, Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A. is empowered under the “Programa de Incentivo às Fontes Alternativas de Energía Eléc-
trica- PROINFA” programme and has the authorisation of Agencia Nacional de Energía Eléctrica- ANEEL (National Electricity
Agency) to act as an independent power producer, and has entered into an agreement for the sale of the power produced at
its three wind farms to Electrobrás - Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras.

As indicated in Note 3-b, at each balance sheet date the Group reviews goodwill for impairment.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, which is deemed to be the present value of
the estimated future cash flows considered to be reasonable by Group management and approved by it. In assessing value in
use, the assumptions used include discount rates, growth rates and expected changes in selling prices and costs. The directors
estimate the pre-tax discount rates that reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash-generating unit, which
are between 11.4% and 17.14% (before taking into consideration any tax effect). The growth rates and the changes in selling
prices and costs are based on in-house and industry forecasts and experience and future expectations, respectively, and in no
case do they exceed 10%. Also, the Elecnor Group carries out the related sensitivity analyses on its projection studies, modifying
the variables that have most impact on cash flows; specifically, discount rates and expected growth figures. The results obtained
from these sensitivity analyses did not disclose any possible impairment.
In 2009 and 2008 there were no significant impairment losses.

“Administrative Concessions” includes approximately EUR 46,244 thousand relating to the administrative concessions granted
by the Aragón Water Institute. Under these concessions, the ELECNOR Group will operate certain water treatment plants ob-
taining future revenue on the basis of the volume of cubic metres of water treated. At 31 December 2009, 7 additional plants
to the 19 in the course of construction had entered into service (a further 7 water treatment plants entered into service in
2008). The Elecnor Group expects that the water treatment plants in the course of construction in 2009 will be brought into
service in 2010.

The term of the concession is 20 years and the related fair value was calculated on the basis of the fair value of the construc-
tion of the water treatment plants. The income generated by these concessions amounted to approximately EUR 7,293 thou-
sand, and were recognised under “Revenue” in the accompanying consolidated income statement.
The fully amortised intangible assets in use at 31 December 2009 amounted to approximately EUR 4,040 thousand (31 De-
cember 2008: EUR 3,496 thousand).

“Buildings, Plant and Machinery” includes mainly the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of wind farms in
operation built in prior years. In 2008 construction of Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U.’s facilities commenced, giving rise to
an increase of approximately EUR 35,458 thousand in “Property, Plant and Equipment”. In 2009 investments in these facilities
amounted to approximately EUR 40,813 thousand and construction of the aforementioned wind farm was completed. The
other wind farms owned by the ELECNOR Group were in operation at 31 December 2009. The wind generators of the Spanish
wind farms are under warranty for two years from their reception date and those of the Brazilian wind farms are under warranty
for three years.
In addition, the ELECNOR Group has completed the construction of a communications satellite through its subsidiary Deimos
Imaging, S.L., having invested approximately EUR 11.6 million to date, of which approximately EUR 3,511 thousand relate to
2009. The ELECNOR Group received a grant related to assets in connection with this project (see Note 3-p).
Lastly, the ELECNOR Group made various investments in machinery and plant required to implement its construction projects
amounting to approximately EUR 17.7 million.
On 12 June 2007, Elecnor, S.A. leased certain offices located in Bilbao under a finance lease for approximately EUR 9 million.
The term of the lease is 240 months and will therefore end in 2027 with the final lease payment, which will correspond to the
exercise of the purchase option. Elecnor, S.A.’s directors do not have any doubt that the purchase option will be exercised. Pre-
viously, Elecnor, S.A. had used these offices under an operating lease.
At 31 December 2009, the property, plant and equipment securing certain bank loans relating mainly to the wind power
projects undertaken by Group companies amounted to approximately EUR 490.7 million (see Note 14).
The offices used by the Group in carrying on its business activities, except for those leased in 2007 under the aforementioned
finance lease, are mostly rented.
The Group’s fully depreciated property, plant and equipment in use amounted to approximately EUR 35,961 thousand and
EUR 36,083 thousand at 31 December 2009 and 2008, respectively. EUR 25,371 thousand and EUR 22,223 thousand, respectively,
of these amounts relate to the Parent. The detail of the Parent’s fully depreciated property, plant and equipment at the end
of 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

cember 2008: EUR 12,273 thousand), relating to the carrying amount of various ELECNOR Group assets held under finance
leases. At 31 December 2009, the ELECNOR Group was using the following items of property, plant and equipment held under
finance leases:

At 31 December 2009, approximately EUR 791 thousand (31 December 2008: EUR 1,567 thousand), arising from the acquisition
of non-current assets remained outstanding, and this amount is recognised under “Other Non-Current Liabilities” and “Other
Payables – Other Current Liabilities” on the liability side of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Group takes out insurance policies to cover the possible risks to which its property, plant and equipment are subject and
the claims that might be filed against it for carrying on its business activities. These policies are considered to adequately cover
the related risks.

a) Equity investments-
The most significant data on the most representative equity investments in companies not included in the scope of consoli-
dation at 31 December 2009 and 2008 are shown in Appendix I.
The fair value of the investments under this heading was determined using in-house estimates made by the Group since
there are no quoted prices on an organised market.
In 2009 the most significant addition relates to the capital increase of the investee Brilhante Transmissora de Energía, Ltda.,
which contributed approximately EUR 5,250 thousand.
The most significant derecognition corresponds to the sale for USD 12 million of the South American company Energía Ibener,
S.A., the carrying amount of which amounted to EUR 4,733 thousand at 31 December 2008. The disposal of this company gave
rise to a profit of approximately EUR 2.5 million after taking into account the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date.
The most significant change in 2008 related to a capital increase of EUR 1,644 thousand at Isonor Transmission, S.A.C. on 19
July 2008. Also, Pedras Transmissora de Energía, Ltda. and Coqueiros Transmissora de Energía, Ltda. were incorporated with a
contribution of approximately EUR 417 thousand at 2008 year-end.
The translation differences arose from the ownership interest held by the subsidiary Elecnor Chile, S.A. in Iberoamericana de
Energía Ibener, S.A., due to the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the euro.

b) Long-term loans-
“Long-Term Loans” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2009 relates mainly to various loans
granted to ELECNOR Group associates and to a loan which currently amounts to EUR 924 thousand (31 December 2008: EUR
870 thousand) granted in 2007 to Eólicas Montes del Cierzo, S.L. (see Notes 10 and 26). The most significant addition relates to
two loans of EUR 200 thousand each, granted to Termosolar Manzanares, S.L. and Termosolar Alcazar de San Juan, S.L.
The Parent's directors consider that none of the aforementioned loans will be repaid at short term and, therefore, they are clas-
sified as non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and there are no doubts that they will be recovered.

c) Other non-current financial assets-


The detail of “Other Assets” is as follows:

Thousands of euros
2009 2008
Administrative concessions 53,283 -
Debt service reserve account 23,732 23,170

At 31 December 2009, EUR 53,283 thousand were included in connection with the Brazilian concession operators Pedras Trans-
missora de Energía, S.A. and Coqueiros Transmissora de Energía, S.A. for EUR 19,747 thousand and EUR 33,536 thousand, res-
pectively. These amounts relate to the discounted value of the long-term receivable maturing at approximately 30 years. These
administrative concessions were considered financial assets in accordance with the measurement bases described in Note 3-j.
“Debt Service Reserve Account” amounted to approximately EUR 3,606 thousand, EUR 2,500 thousand, EUR 7,564 thousand
and EUR 10,062 thousand that the subsidiaries Eólicas Páramo de Poza, S.A., Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A., Galicia Vento S.L.
and Ventos Do Sul Energía, S.A., respectively, must maintain in a bank deposit pursuant to the financing agreements entered
into by them (see Note 14).

The guarantees relate basically to the operation of the wind farms Eólicas Páramo de Poza S.A., Galicia Vento, S.L. and Ae-
rogeneradores del Sur, S.A. for approximately EUR 329 thousand, EUR 644 thousand and EUR 287 thousand, respectively.

12. CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


The detail of “Cash and Cash Equivalents” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

Thousands of euros

The ending balances of “Short-Term Deposits” and “Fixed-Income Securities and Other Assets” in the foregoing table relate
mainly to treasury bills acquired under non-optional fixed-date reverse repurchase agreements and to deposits, all at short
term, which earn interest at a market rate. On maturity, the related amounts are reinvested in assets of a similar nature and
term based on cash needs at any given time.

13. EQUITY OF THE PARENT


a) Share capital-
The shareholders at the Parent’s Annual General Meeting of 20 May 2009 approved the capital reduction of EUR 300 thousand
through the retirement of 3 million treasury shares, which represent 3.33% of its share capital and, therefore, the share capital
of Elecnor, S.A. is represented by a total of 87,000,000 shares of EUR 0.10 par value each.
The shares of Elecnor, S.A. are listed on the stock market (Bilbao, Madrid -Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System-,

to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. The legal reserve has reached the
stipulated level.
The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the
increased share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset
losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.

d) Treasury shares-
By virtue of the resolutions adopted successively at the Annual General Meetings of Elecnor, S.A. in recent years, various tre-
asury shares of the aforementioned company were acquired with a view to their gradual disposal in the market. Specifically,
in May 2009 and June 2008 the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise the acquisition of shares is-
sued by the Parent, either by the Parent itself or by Group companies, up to a limit of 5% of the share capital (see Note 3-n),
provided that the purchase price was not 30% higher or lower than the market price of the shares.
In addition, as mentioned in Note 13-a) to these financial statements, the Group retired 3 million treasury shares to reduce
its share capital by EUR 300 thousand.
The detail of the treasury shares and of the changes therein in 2009 is as follows:

No. of shares
Treasury shares at 31 December 2008 3,689,927
Acquisition of treasury shares 371,366
Sale of treasury shares (344,234)
Capital reduction (3,000,000)
Treasury shares at 31 December 2009 717,059

The purchase and sale of the treasury shares gave rise to approximately EUR 3,382 thousand and EUR 2,629 thousand, res-
pectively.
All the treasury shares held by the Parent at 31 December 2009 represented 0.82% (31 December 2008: 4.1%) of the total
share capital of Elecnor, S.A. at those dates.
At 31 December 2009 and 2008, a restricted reserve for treasury shares had been recorded for the amount of the Elecnor,
S.A. treasury shares held at those dates.

14. BANK BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES


Key to the Group’s strategy is its policy of maximum financial prudence. The target capital structure is defined by this com-
mitment to solvency and the aim of maximising shareholder returns.
However, certain projects, mainly the construction of wind farms and the related electricity interconnection lines and subs-
tations, as well as the electricity distribution infrastructures and wastewater treatment plants which the Group operates and
holds as a concession, are mainly financed with syndicated loans under project financing agreements. Under these loans the
subsidiaries that are owners of the aforementioned wind farms accept certain restrictions on the distribution of dividends,
which is conditional on certain requirements being met, such as the creation of a reserve account for debt servicing. Also, these
subsidiaries must achieve a given debt/equity ratio and a given equity structure.
The target capital structure, excluding the effect of the projects financed with non-recourse financing, is quantified at the
following ratio of net bank borrowings to equity:

Net financial debt


Net financial debt + Equity

Net financial debt includes the following line items in the consolidated balance sheet (having eliminated the effect of net fi-
nancial debt related to the projects financed with non-recourse financing):

Thousands of euros
2009 2008
Non-current liabilities – Bank borrowings and other
financial liabilities 119,759 88,302
Current liabilities – Bank borrowings and other
financial liabilities 42,146 35,582
Non-current financial assets - Other financial assets (28,820) (42,200)
Cash and cash equivalents (93,346) (87,532)
Net financial debt 39,739 (5,848)

The changes in this ratio are analysed on a permanent basis and prospective estimates thereof are also made as a key restric-
tive factor to be taken into account in the Group's investments strategy and dividends policy. At 31 December 2009, this ratio
stood at approximately 7.6% (31 December 2008: -1.7%).
The detail of “Bank Borrowings and Other Financial Liabilities” under the non-current and current liability headings of the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Syndicated loans and credit facilities-


On 5 May 2005, the Parent arranged multicurrency bank financing aimed mainly at financing the construction of 811 km of elec-
tricity network between the cities of Cuiba and Itumbiara in Brazil. This financing is subdivided into two tranches: tranche A relates
to a long-term multicurrency syndicated loan of EUR 25,000 thousand; and tranche B relates to a long-term multicurrency credit
facility with a maximum drawable limit of EUR 25,000 thousand. At 31 December 2009, the Company had not drawn down any
amount against the credit facility. This financing arrangement bears interest at Euribor plus a spread, which is tied to the level of the
Net Financial Debt to (EBITDA + Project dividends) ratio, excluding the debt relating to projects financed with project financing.

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 123


The syndicated loan and the amount drawn down, if any, against the syndicated credit facility will be repaid in full on ma-
turity, on 5 May 2012.
On 29 June 2006, the Parent arranged multicurrency bank financing with the same conditions and characteristics as the 2005
syndicated loan, for the purpose of financing the development of projects consisting of the construction of electricity grids in
Brazil, with the only difference being that the loan and the amount drawn down against the syndicated credit facility, if any,
will be repaid in full on maturity on 29 June 2013. At 2009 year-end, as in the case of the 2005 financing, the Company had
used tranche A relating to the loan in full and had not drawn down any amount against the tranche B credit facility.
The Parent arranged four interest rate swaps, with a nominal amount of EUR 12.5 million each with various banks in order
to hedge against a possible rise in the interest rates on the two syndicated loans received. The maturity and interest settlement
dates of the swaps coincide with those of the loan agreements to which they are assigned (see Note 15).
The two agreements bore interest of approximately EUR 1,508 thousand in 2009 (2008: EUR 2,887 thousand), prior to taking
into consideration the effect of the hedges, which the Group recognised under “Finance Costs” in the accompanying 2009 con-
solidated income statement (see Note 21).
The Parent has undertaken to maintain over the term of the two bank financing agreements the interest coverage ratio (net
financial debt /adjusted equity) and the debt/equity ratio (net financial debt/EBITDA + project dividends) established in the
agreements for each year-end (calculated on the basis of the consolidated data of the Elecnor Group), non-compliance with
which could constitute grounds for termination of the agreements. At 31 December 2009, the conditions for being able to con-
tinue to classify this financing on the basis of the initially foreseen maturities were being met. All the aforementioned ratios
must be calculated net of the figures relating to the projects financed with non-recourse financing.

Loans to concessions-
On 21 July 2009, the concession operator Sociedad Aragonesa de Estaciones Depuradoras, S.A. arranged a loan with a limit
of EUR 15.5 million maturing on 31 December 2026. The concession operator has drawn down the loan in full. This loan bears
interest at Euribor plus a spread. The interest accrued on this loan amounted to EUR 213 thousand, of which EUR 164 thousand
was capitalised. This company arranged an interest rate swap of EUR 11,625 thousand to cover the possible rise in interest rates
on the loan and the interest settlement dates coincide with the interest settlement dates of the loan.

Syndicated loans - Wind farms-


At 31 December 2009, the bank borrowings under this heading related mainly to the balances drawn down against the syndi-
cated loans that Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A., Eólicas Páramo de Poza, S.A., Galicia Vento, S.L., Ventos do Sul Energía S.A. and
Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U. had arranged with several banks, having drawn down EUR 33,929 thousand, EUR 35,281
thousand, EUR 84,140 thousand, EUR 195,293 thousand and EUR 84,584 thousand (including accrued interest payable), respec-
tively, under a project financing arrangement. These loans were granted to finance the construction of wind farms and the re-
lated electric interconnection lines and substations owned by these companies.
The equivalent limit of the syndicated loan in Brazilian reais granted to Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A., of which Elecnor, S.A. is
the guarantor, is BRL 462,728 thousand (see Note 20). At 31 December 2007, this loan had been drawn down in full.
The syndicated loans granted to the subsidiaries Eólicas Páramo de Poza, S.A., Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A., Galicia Vento
S.L. and Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U., will be repaid in 25, 26, 25 and 37 half-yearly consecutive instalments whereas
the syndicated loan to Ventos Do Sul Energía, S.A. will be repaid in 144 monthly instalments. The first instalment was paid in
2003 in the case of Eólicas Páramo de Poza, S.A., in 2005 in the case of Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A. and in 2006 in the case of
Galicia Vento, S.L. Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U. will make its first repayment in 2010. The first instalment of the loan to
Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A. was paid in 2007 once the grace period had elapsed.
The Spanish syndicated loans bear interest at six-month EURIBOR plus a market spread, which may vary subsequently on the
basis of the audited principal debt service coverage ratio. In the case of the loan obtained in Brazilian reais by the subsidiary
Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A., the applicable interest rate is the result of adding a market spread to Brazil’s long-term floating
interest rate (“T.J.L.P.”). In order to mitigate interest rate risk on their respective syndicated loans, Eólicas Páramos de Poza,
S.A., Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A., Galicia Vento, S.L. and Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U. arranged interest rate swaps
with various banks at average fixed rates of 5.0%, 4.2%, 4.5% and 5.08%, respectively, which hedge substantially all the outs-
tanding debt of each of the aforementioned companies (see Note 15).
Pursuant to the related financing deeds, the annual principal debt servicing ratio for the project finance syndicated loans of
the Spanish subsidiaries must be above a given value throughout the term of the loans, calculated basically as the ratio of the
cash flow available for debt servicing in a 12-month period to the debt serviced in that same period, as defined in the loan
agreements. Also, these companies must achieve a given debt/equity ratio and a given equity structure.
Within two years from the start-up of the wind farm, the Spanish subsidiaries are also obliged to set up a debt servicing
reserve account (in the form of a bank deposit) for the amount specifically determined in the related financing agreements
(see Note 11). Also, they have to arrange interest rate hedges, at the request of the agent bank, for a minimum of 65% of the
amount of the loan and with a minimum term of nine years. To comply with this requirement, the aforementioned swaps were
arranged. Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A., must also achieve certain debt coverage ratios within certain limits, and must deposit in
a reserve account a monetary amount that covers at least three monthly principal and interest payment instalments. The cove-
nants of Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A. came into force in 2008 and compliance therewith has not given rise to any problems, in
the opinion of the Parent's directors.
To secure each of the syndicated loans of the Spanish companies, the Group constituted a security interest in the shares of
the subsidiaries and, additionally, in the indemnification, compensation and, or penalties that might become payable to Eólicas
Páramo de Poza, S.A., Aerogeneradores del Sur, S.A., Galicia Vento, S.L. and Parques Eólicos de Villanueva, S.L.U. in connection
with the construction and operating management contracts and in all the cash accounts of the aforementioned wind power
companies. In relation to Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A., the Company arranged a security trust agreement over property, plant
and equipment with the related banks.
Also, the subsidiaries have certain limitations in relation to these loans consisting basically of restrictions on the disposal of
their property, plant and equipment and on the payment of dividends. These obligations depend on compliance with certain
conditions, such as ongoing fulfilment of the debt service coverage ratio established in the financing loan deeds and setting
up a debt servicing reserve account (see Note 11). The aforementioned conditions were met by all the Spanish companies and,
therefore, they were authorised to pay the dividends declared in 2009 and prior years.
The directors consider that all the conditions established in relation to the syndicated loans arranged are being met and that
project financing will be serviced with normality using the revenue generated by the business activity of each wind power pro-
ject.
Also, with a view to financing the repayment of a portion of the share capital to its shareholders the subsidiary Ventos do
Sul Energía, S.A. received a loan of EUR 25 million in 2008, bearing interest at 12-month Euribor plus a spread and with maturity
established at 30 September 2022.

VAT credit facility-


In previous years, Sociedad Aragonesa de Aguas Residuales, S.A.U. received a VAT-related credit facility amounting to EUR
4,000 thousand, against which approximately EUR 993 thousand had been drawn down at 31 December 2008 and which had
been repaid in full at 31 December 2009.
On 21 July 2009, the concession operator Sociedad Aragonesa de Estaciones Depuradoras, S.A. received a VAT credit facility
of EUR 2,800 thousand, of which EUR 392 thousand had been drawn down at 31 December 2009.
In 2009 Parques Eólicas de Villanueva, S.L.U. received a VAT credit facility amounting to EUR 15,600 thousand, against which
approximately EUR 7,474 thousand had been drawn down at 31 December 2008. In 2009 construction of the farm was completed
and the credit facility was repaid in full.

Unsecured loans-
In January 2009 the Parent drew down EUR 14 million against a loan, of which EUR 4 million mature in 2010, with final ma-
turity in December 2011. This loan bears interest at Euribor plus a spread. The interest accrued on this loan amounted to EUR
352 thousand.
On 1 April 2009, the Parent arranged a loan of EUR 20 million, maturing on 1 April 2012. This loan bears interest at Euribor
plus a spread. The interest accrued on this loan amounted to EUR 233 thousand.

Other financing-
In 2007 the ELECNOR Group arranged a mortgage loan in order to acquire an industrial building in Valencia in which to carry

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 125


on its solar panel manufacturing business (see Note 9). The unmatured balance of this loan amounted to approximately EUR
12,109 thousand at 31 December 2009.
Also, at 31 December 2009, the Parent Elecnor, S.A had twelve credit lines outstanding with various banks with a maximum
total limit of EUR 210 million, against which at 31 December 2009 EUR 10,837 thousand had been drawn down. The credit lines
bear average interest of EURIBOR/LIBOR plus a market spread, and mature in three years. Also, certain credit lines and draft
discounting lines are held through the unincorporated temporary joint ventures in which the Group has interests, with a total
limit of approximately EUR 11.2 million.
Taken as a whole, at 31 December 2009, the Group had unused unsecured credit lines totalling approximately EUR 209,659
thousand (31 December 2008: approximately EUR 220,102 thousand) (see Note 4-c).
At 31 December 2009, the ELECNOR Group did not have any bank borrowings at fixed interest rates, except for the hedges
described in Note 15.
Also, the sensitivity of the non-current borrowings to interest rate fluctuations is scantly material (see Note 4-b), since, except
for the syndicated loan of Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A. and the new loans entered into in 2009, interest rate hedges have been
arranged for all the other borrowings. In the case of Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A., an upward or downward change of 0.25% in
the interest rate would have an impact on the annual borrowing costs of approximately EUR 488 thousand. A 2.5% increase in
the Brazilian real/euro exchange rate (the loans held by the Group in a currency other than the euro are denominated in Bra-
zilian reais) would represent an annual decrease in borrowing costs of approximately EUR 449 thousand, while a drop would
increase borrowing costs by approximately EUR 449 thousand.

15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The ELECNOR Group uses derivative financial instruments to cover the risks to which its activities, operations and future cash
flows are exposed, arising from exchange rate, interest rate and electricity price fluctuations, which affect the results of wind
farms operated by the Group. The detail of the balances that reflect the measurement of derivatives in the consolidated
balance sheets at 31 December 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

a) Foreign currency hedges-


The ELECNOR Group uses derivatives as foreign currency hedges mainly to mitigate the possible adverse effect of exchange
rate fluctuations on future cash flows relating to transactions of three types:
• Payments relating to supply agreements denominated in US dollars.
• Payments under construction contracts performed abroad and denominated in US dollars.
• Collections under construction contracts performed abroad and denominated in US dollars.
At 31 December 2009 and 2008, the total nominal value of the liabilities on which foreign currency hedges had been arranged
was as follows:

Thousands
Currency 2009 2008
US dollars 57,023 150,243

Of the total nominal amounts hedged in 2009, USD 40,750 thousand relate to US dollar purchase hedges to hedge future
payment flows in US dollars and USD 16,273 thousand relate to US dollar sale hedges to hedge future collections in US dollars.
Of the total nominal amounts hedged in 2008, USD 131,297 thousand relate to US dollar purchase hedges to hedge future
payment flows in US dollars and USD 18,946 thousand relate to US dollar sale hedges to hedge future collections in US dollars.
The foreign currency hedges mature in 2010, coinciding with the actual flow of payments and collections that they are hed-
ging, and the risk of changes in the expected cash flows is very low since there are agreements which indicate the related pay-
ment and collection schedules.
In addition, in prior years the Parent arranged various foreign currency hedges with different maturities to hedge the capital
increases performed by its Brazilian subsidiary Elecnor Transmissao de Energía, S.A. at Brazilian companies accounted for using
the equity method (see Note 10). At 31 December 2008, BRL 153.6 million had not yet matured, BRL 127.3 million of which
were exercised during 2009 and BRL 26.3 million, with maturity in 2010, had not yet matured at the end of 2009. The settle-
ments made in 2009 gave rise to a positive difference of approximately EUR 3.2 million at the ELECNOR Group in 2009, which
was recognised as a decrease in the cost of the investment in the subsidiary.
In addition, in 2008 the Parent arranged various foreign currency hedges with different maturities to hedge various capital
increases performed by its Brazilian subsidiary Elecnor Transmissao de Energía, S.A. at Brazilian companies accounted for using
the equity method (see Note 10). The hedges arranged amounted to a nominal amount of BRL 232 million, of which BRL 153.6
million had not yet matured at 2008 year-end and which matured in 2009. The settlements made in 2008 gave rise to a negative
difference of approximately EUR 1.1 million at the Elecnor Group in 2008, which was recognised as an increase in the cost of
the subsidiary.
In 2009 the subsidiary Aplicaciones Técnicas de la Energía, S.L. had outstanding foreign currency hedges at 31 December 2009
with a nominal amount of USD 84,117 thousand (EUR 58,507 thousand) for the purchase of materials required for its activity.
In view of its business performance, the items qualifying for hedge accounting decreased and purchases were forecast to be
lower than those initially expected and, therefore, the Group decided not to recognise them as hedging transactions. These
hedges mature in 2010 and the value thereof at 31 December 2009 is EUR 4,162 thousand, which is recognised under “Other
Payables – Other Current Liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet. The change in value was recognised under “Exchange
Differences” in the consolidated income statement.

b) Interest rate-
The ELECNOR Group performs interest rate hedging transactions in accordance with its risk management policy. The purpose
of these transactions is to mitigate the effect that changes in interest rates could have on future cash flows from certain long-
term credit facilities and loans tied to floating interest rates, generally associated with the financing obtained by the wind
farms, which cover the full amount thereof and for the whole term thereof. At 31 December 2009 and 2008, the total nominal
value of the liabilities on which interest rate hedges had been arranged was as follows:

Thousands of euros
Type of hedge 2009 2008
Cash flows - Interest rate swap 290,499 235,493

The interest rate swaps have the same, or lower, nominal amount as the outstanding principals of the hedged loans and the
same maturity as the interest settlements on the loans that they are hedging.
As in the case of the foreign currency hedges, in 2009 and 2008 no transactions took place or were planned for which initially
a hedge accounting policy was adopted when accounting for the derivatives but which is now not expected to be implemented.

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 127


c) Price-
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to cover the risks of fluctuations in electricity prices, which impacts very sig-
nificantly on the results of the various wind farms in operation.
The effect of the settlements of these derivative financial instruments in 2009 gave rise to an increase in sales of EUR 2,458
thousand, which was recognised under “Revenue” in the accompanying 2009 consolidated income statement.
At 31 December 2009, the outstanding derivative financial instruments for electricity prices amount to EUR 1,920 thousand,
recognised under “Deferred Tax Assets” on the asset side of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at 31 December
2009 (see Note 18).
At 31 December 2008, the Group did not hold any derivative financial instruments of this kind.
The market value of the various financial instruments is calculated as follows (see Note 15):
• The market value of derivatives quoted on an organised market is their market price at year-end.
• To measure derivatives not traded on an organised market, the ELECNOR Group uses assumptions based on year-end market
conditions. Specifically, the market value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting at a market interest rate the
difference between the swap rates, and the market value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined by discounting
the estimated future cash flows using the forward rates existing at year-end. In both cases, these measurements are verified
against those provided by the banks.
This procedure is also used, where appropriate, to determine the fair value of loans and receivables arising from cross currency
swaps, through which the Group and the related bank exchange the flows from a loan in euros for the flows from another
loan in US dollars, with any resulting difference being settled on maturity. At year-end, the Group translates the loan into US
dollars (plus the accrued interest) at the year-end exchange rate and compares it with the loan in euros (plus the accrued inte-
rest), and the net value (i.e. the difference) is recognised under “Other Current Assets”, “Non-Current Financial Assets” or
“Bank Borrowings and Other Financial Liabilities”, depending on whether the difference is positive or negative and on the
maturity thereof, giving rise to an exchange difference income or expense item as the balancing entry.
The financial assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the measurement at fair value of the aforementioned hedging
instruments gave rise to additions to “Non-Current Financial Assets” and “Bank Borrowings and Other Financial Liabilities”, as
indicated in Note 15.

16. PROVISIONS FOR CONTINGENCIES AND CHARGES


The detail of “Non-Current Liabilities - Provisions for Contingencies and Charges” in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets and of the changes therein in 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Thousands of euros
Provisions for Total provisions
litigation and third- Provisions for for contingencies
party liability warranties and charges
Balance at 1 January 2008 2,863 27,771 30,634
Period provisions charged to income 4,361 29,629 33,990
Balance at 31 December 2008 7,224 57,400 64,624
Period provisions charged to income 994 - 994
Reversals credited to income - (19,500) (19,500)
Balance at 31 December 2009 8,218 37,900 46,118

The Group estimates the amount of the liabilities arising from litigation and similar events. Although the Group considers
that the outflows of resources will take place in the next few years, it cannot predict when the litigation will end and, therefore,
it does not make an estimate of the specific dates of the outflows as it considers that the effect of any discount in this connection
would not be material.
In view of its activities, the Group is exposed to several claims and lawsuits, most of which are for amounts that are not ma-
terial. The directors estimated that the provision recognised reasonably covers the payments likely to arise in the future from
past events.
Since 2007 year-end the ELECNOR Group has delivered various solar power production plants (solar PV farms). During the
period from the date of award of the Provisional Acceptance Certificate of the solar PV farm and the following three years –
when the customer will execute the Final Acceptance Certificate- the ELECNOR Group guarantees the electricity production of
each PV facility will reach a certain level of kWh in certain irradiation and temperature conditions during the aforementioned
warranty period. Should actual metered production fall below the guaranteed level, the contract price will be reduced, with
the concomitant obligation of the contractor, i.e. the ELECNOR Group, to pay the owner the stipulated amount of the afore-
mentioned penalty, which is established taking into account the percentage of the decrease in actual production with respect
to the guaranteed level and the contract price.
In addition, the ELECNOR Group undertakes to repair and/or replace the materials of the farms during a maximum period of
25 years where the electricity production stipulated in the agreement is not obtained due to the wear and tear thereof. It also
has a warranty from its main suppliers in this same connection.
The ELECNOR Group had recognised a provision of approximately EUR 37.9 million at 2009 year-end to cover the aforemen-
tioned risks, which is recognised under “Non-Current Liabilities - Provisions for Contingencies and Charges” in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. At 31 December 2009, this provision was calculated based on the best estimate of the Parent's di-
rectors of the possible losses that could arise therefrom as a result of the aforementioned warranties. In 2009 an amount was
reversed because the warranty periods on certain PV farms were coming to an end, and the Group considered that not so much
damage had arisen as initially expected.
At 31 December 2009, the Elecnor Group had the following contingent liabilities:
• In previous years, “Monte Vecinal en Mano Común Faro de Argozón” filed a claim against the Galicia Autonomous Com-
munity Government and Enerfín Enervento, S.A. (an ELECNOR Group company) in relation to the Chantada wind farm
owned by Galicia Vento, S.L. (also a subsidiary of the ELECNOR Group) at the Galicia High Court in connection with the
condemnation procedure for the wind farm located on the land of “Monte Vecinal en Mano Común Faro de Argozón”. On
31 January 2007, the Galicia High Court handed down a decision rendering void the condemnation and ordered Galicia
Vento, S.L., the owner of the wind farm, to dismantle the turbines situated on the land (which represent approximately
30% of the installed capacity) and to return the land to its original state prior to the construction of the wind farm. This
decision has been appealed against at the Supreme Court. The Galicia Autonomous Community Government, co-defendant
in the proceedings, has also filed a cassation appeal defending the argument put forward by the ELECNOR Group. The
Group's internal legal department and a prestigious law firm that prepared the related appeal to file with the Supreme
Court state that the cassation appeal is highly likely to be successful, since the decision appealed against has serious formal
defects and defects in substance. The Galicia Autonomous Community Government is obliged to maintain the appeal, and,
therefore, the hypothetical and highly unlikely upholding of the judgment by the Supreme Court would lead to the unli-
mited liability of the government, which would ultimately be obliged to compensate the ELECNOR Group for the damage
or loss caused by the removal of the wind generators that were installed in the past on the basis of the licences and permits
granted by the Galicia Autonomous Community Government. Therefore, the ELECNOR Group has not recognised any pro-
vision in relation to this claim.
On 21 October 2009, the Supreme Court handed down a judgment upholding the appeals filed and ordered the Galicia High
Court to hand down a new judgment and resolve all the points at issue, rendering the judgment of 31 January 2007 null and
void.
• In 2007 the subsidiary Parques Eólicos Gaviota, S.A. was notified of a decision of the Supreme Court of 22 March 2005, con-
firming the judgment of the Canary Islands High Court of 10 November 2000, rendering null and void the Order of the Mi-
nistry of Industry and Trade of 27 December 1996 relating to the allocation of power to the aforementioned subsidiary and
another entity. On 20 October 2008, the Ministry of Work, Industry and Trade rendered the allocated power null and void
and, accordingly, the aforementioned judgment was enforced. In 2009 the subsidiary filed an appeal with a higher admi-
nistrative body to the Minister of Industry and Energy but no decision had yet been handed down in this connection at the
date of issue of these financial statements. The Parent’s directors and the legal advisers of the aforementioned subsidiary
consider that the judgment handed down on the latest appeal filed will be favourable for the subsidiary and, in any case,
in the event that the power was ultimately rendered null and void, it would not have a significant effect on the rights and
interests of the ELECNOR Group and, therefore, it did not recognise any provision in this connection.

(**) Arising mainly from the construction of wind farms. This amount will be reversed to income over the useful life of the wind generators.
“Non-deductible Provisions and Other Deferred Tax Assets” includes the tax effect of the provisions for warranties (see Note
16), which amounts to EUR 11,370 thousand. In addition, EUR 3 million relate to the impairment loss (see Note 21) recognised
by the Parent, since it is not considered deductible in 2009.
“Tax Assets" includes the tax loss and tax credit carryforwards of various subsidiaries. The most significant amount relates to
Ventos Do Sul Energía, S.A. which recognised approximately EUR 10,921 thousand, most of which correspond to the tax credits
earned as a result of carrying on electricity production activities.
“Disposal of Enerfin Enervento, S.A.” corresponds to the tax effect of the gain obtained by the Group at consolidated level
only in the capital increase performed at that company in 2005 subscribed by a third party, with a share premium.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reassessed at each balance sheet date in order to ascertain whether
they still exist, and the appropriate adjustments are made on the basis of the findings of the analyses performed.

Consolidated Corporation Tax Law 43/1995, of 27 December, and the related implementing regulations.
The Parent has the years since 2004 open for review by the tax authorities for the main taxes applicable to it. In general, the
main Group companies have the years established in the local legislation in each case (ranging from three to five years) open
for review for the main taxes applicable to them.

ANUAL REPORT 2009 - 131


The income tax expense for 2009 and 2008 was determined as follows:

(*) The fully consolidated foreign subsidiaries calculate the income tax expense and the tax charges for the various taxes applicable to them in conformity with the
legislation of, and at the tax rates in force in, their respective countries.

The varying interpretations that can be made of current tax legislation could give rise to certain contingent liabilities which
cannot be objectively quantified. However, the Parent's directors consider that the possibility of such contingent liabilities
arising at the Group companies as a result of future tax audits is remote and that, in any case, the tax debt that might arise
therefrom would not materially affect the consolidated financial statements of the ELECNOR Group.

20. GUARANTEE COMMITMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES

tees, completion bonds and performance bonds, relating mainly to the Parent, is as follows:

by the Brazilian company Ventos do Sul Energía, S.A. (owned through Enerfín Enervento, S.A.) for the construction of a wind
farm in Brazil (see Note 14). This project financing has been drawn down in full. The guarantee provided by Elecnor will expire
in 2010, once the wind farm is in operation and the lenders have verified that the use to which the financing was put coincides
with that stipulated in the related agreement.
The Parent's directors consider that the liabilities, if any, that might arise from the guarantees provided would not give rise
to significant losses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

with basic earnings per share.

29. INFORMATION ON THE ENVIRONMENT


In view of the importance of respect for the environment to maintaining and improving the standard of living of present
and future generations, management of the Parent has been implementing best environmental practices based on compliance
with environmental legislation. With the entry into force of the UNE-EN ISO 14001 standard in 1996, the Group has incorporated
environmental management into the conduct of business of the Group, with a commitment to continuously reduce the envi-
ronmental impact of our products/services and production processes.
The expenses incurred by the Group in 2009 in connection with environmental activities were not material.
The main measures taken by the Group at its facilities and in its business activities were as follows:

Environmental management
The Group consolidated the implementation of the environmental management systems, retaining certification under the
AENOR UNE-EN ISO 14001: 2004 standard for each of the following business divisions:
• Power and Railways (GA-2000/0294)
• Power transmission (GA-2000/0295)
• North (GA-2002/0183)
• East (GA-2002/0225)
• Centre (GA-2003/0220)
• Construction and Environment (GA-2004/0030)
• Northeast (GA-2004/0031)
• South (GA-2004/0273)

Environmental activities
In 2009 various measures were taken to reduce noise pollution, minimise waste and improve its management, reduce the con-
sumption of paper and increase the use of recycled paper at the offices and warehouses of the various ELECNOR Group compa-
nies, all of which has led to respect and utmost care for the environment in relation to all the business activities carried on.
Environmental contingencies
The Parent's directors consider that the environmental contingencies that might arise are sufficiently covered by the third-
party liability insurance policies that it has taken out and the provisions recognised in this connection.

Directors’ Report | 2009
ELECNOR GROUP

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

The directors’ report for 2008 began with an account of the deep worldwide economic and financial crisis we found ourselves
in. 2008 year-end marked the halfway point of the recession with the period between September 2008 and March 2009 being
considered by various experts as the low point of the crisis.
However at 2009 year-end, it can be said that the world economies are stabilising and have begun to recover, although the
risk of a second downturn, particularly in the large economies, continues to be present. The various monetary and fiscal stimulus
measures, adopted throughout the world, contributed to this change of circumstance. The great majority of countries have
decreased their official interest rates and adopted measures such as extraordinary liquidity injections and asset purchases in
order to restore liquidity and credit conditions. The main decision currently facing the various economies is to determine at
which point and in which way these financial stabilising policies should be withdrawn. The ECB is considering how and when
the surplus excess liquidity injected should be withdrawn and, although very cautious of the overly optimistic opinions regarding
European economic recovery, it is concerned about the repercussions that the high level of money supply could have on future
inflation. General inflation is very low and underlying inflation, at around 1%, is decelerating.
As regards fiscal matters, the public deficit and debt ratios shot up in 2009, highlighting the need to design a definitive exit
strategy for the coming years and, based on the performance of economic indicators, apply it at the most appropriate time.
Once the situation improves, a consistent series of measures to reduce the public deficit to sustainable levels will have to be
announced sufficiently in advance and implemented before monetary policy can begin to be corrected. The consensus in Europe
appears to be that these adjustments should begin to be implemented in 2011.
Certain economists of repute have warned of a possible economic contraction in 2010 and the mixed messages arising from
the economic data being published are an indication of the aforementioned fragility of the recovery which is still in its infancy.
Whilst in the US industry has shown signs of recovery, in Europe, after eleven months of uninterrupted increases, the Purchasing
Managers Index (PMI) for January witnessed a 0.6% decline with respect to December. The main causes of this contraction were
the German and French economies (-0.8% and -1.7%, respectively).
Following the warnings made and decisions taken by the ratings agencies, the eurozone continues to be the main cause for
concern, in particular Greece. The climate of instability in Europe led to the euro depreciating against the dollar; in mid-De-
cember the euro traded at around USD 1.50, whereas by the end of January, it was close to USD 1.40.
The rate of inflation is another sign of the changes indicating economic recovery, and both Europe and the US recorded no-
teworthy upturns (year-on-year rates of 0.5% and 1.8%, respectively). The principal cause of this increase can be attributed to
the energy industry, since in mid January the price of oil had risen to above USD 74 per barrel, up by around 60%.
The emerging economies have become the drivers behind world growth as their economic activity advances with greater
strength than that of developed economies. The reasons for this can be found in these markets’ lower exposure to the factors
that triggered the economic crisis and the monetary and fiscal policies used to counteract the adverse pressure on demand.
This boost was further reinforced by the steady recovery of world trade and prices of raw materials in the second half of 2009.
Thus, the Chinese economy grew at around 8.9% in the third quarter of 2009, whilst Latin American countries also returned to
growth, which could very possibly accelerated in 2010.
According to Bank of Spain preliminary forecasts, GDP fell by 0.1% in the fourth quarter of 2009, making this the seventh
consecutive quarterly fall and placing Spain as the only country that belongs to the G-20 (the group of wealthy and emerging
countries that is driving efforts to combat the global crisis) that is still in recession. If this forecast is correct, Spanish GDP for
2009 as a whole would stand at -3.6%.
Capital management policy
A fundamental part of the Elecnor Group's strategy is to maintain a policy of financial prudence. The capital structure is de-
fined by the commitment to solvency and the objective of maximising shareholder returns.

Financial risk management policy


The Elecnor Group is exposed to certain financial risks that it manages by grouping together risk identification, measurement,
concentration limitation and oversight systems. The Elecnor Corporate Division and the various business units and subsidiaries
composing the Elecnor Group coordinate the management and limitation of financial risks. The financial risk management ac-
tivities are approved at the highest executive level, in accordance with the established rules, policies and procedures.
The first risk to be mitigated arises from the transactions that the Group performs on the international markets in the course
of its business, namely market risk due primarily to foreign currency risk. Certain of its revenues and procurement costs are de-
nominated in US dollars, or in a currency whose value is closely linked to that of the US dollar or which relates to an economy
that is highly dependent on the US dollar, although a variable portion of the expenses may be denominated in euros. Therefore,
fluctuations in the value of financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the euro as a result of foreign operations
due to exchange rate fluctuations could affect the Group's future earnings. In order to manage and minimise this risk, the Elec-
nor Group uses hedging strategies, since its objective is to generate profits only through its ordinary business, and not by spe-
culating in relation to exchange rate fluctuations. The instruments used to establish this hedging are basically debt tied to the
currency in which collections under the related contract are made, foreign currency hedges and swaps, through which the Elec-
nor Group and the bank exchange the flows relating to a loan denominated in euros for the flows from another loan denomi-
nated in that currency. The Group performs periodic sensitivity analyses of the potential impact of changes in the exchanges
rates on its income statement.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates and the future flows
from assets and liabilities tied to floating interest rates. The Elecnor Group has arranged borrowings to enable it to carry on
its operations, mainly in connection with the development, construction and operation of Spanish wind farms and concessions,
which it does under a project financing arrangement. Under financing of this nature, in the case of wind farms and concessions
in Spain, interest rate risk must be hedged contractually through the arrangement of interest rate hedging instruments. Borro-
wings are arranged nominally at a floating rate tied mainly to Euribor (eurozone) and US dollar Libor, using, where appropriate,
hedging instruments to minimise the risk on long-term financing. The hedging instruments, which are specifically assigned to
debt instruments and are limited to the same nominal value as the latter and the same maturity dates as the hedged items, re-
late basically to IRSs, the aim of which is to convert loans originally arranged at floating rates to fixed rates.
Also, liquidity risk is mitigated through the Elecnor Group’s policy of holding cash and highly liquid non-speculative short-
term instruments, such as the acquisition of Treasury bills under non-optional repurchase agreements and very short-term US
dollar deposits, through leading banks in order to be able to meet its future commitments and the arrangement of committed
credit facilities of sufficient amount to cover its projected needs.
The Elecnor Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables, to the extent that a counterparty or customer
does not meet its contractual obligations. To mitigate this risk, the Group operates with customers with an appropriate credit
track record. Also, as a result of the business activities it carries on and the industries in which it operates, it has customers with
very high creditworthiness. However, in the case of international sales to non-recurring customers, mechanisms such as irrevo-
cable letters of credit and insurance policies are used to ensure collection. Also, the financial solvency of customers is analysed
and specific terms and conditions are included in contracts aimed at guaranteeing payment of the stipulated price. In the case
of the wind farms, the power produced -in accordance with the legislative framework for the electricity industry in force- is
sold to the electricity distributor in each area, which generally belongs to corporate groups of acknowledged solvency. Ventos
do Sul Energía, S.A. (Brazil) has entered into a twelve-year agreement for the sale of the electricity it produces to the Brazilian
electricity distributor.
An economic scenario such as the present one is considered an overriding risk with respect to other financial risks. In the face
of this situation, the Elecnor Group continues to maximise all the measures that are taken to mitigate it and regularly analyses
its exposure to credit risk and recognises the provisions required.

INFORME ANUAL 2009 - 149


2009
In 2009 Elecnor, S.A. achieved sales of EUR 1,236 million, down 15.8% on 2008. The main cause of this decrease in the volume
of business can be found in a lower number of transactions in the solar PV market, caused to a large degree by the new regu-
latory framework governing this industry and, more generally, the lower level of investment of our main customers, as a result
of the crisis faced in the Spanish market.
The distribution, by geographical area, of the volume of business shows a greater contribution from the foreign market than
in previous years; specifically, this market contributed 28% of total revenue, as compared with 14% in 2008, a relative increase
of 62.8%. The Spanish market fell 29.1% with respect to 2008.
The Parent's profit after tax amounted to EUR 54.6 million, a 10% increase with respect to 2008. This increase arose primarily
as a result of the greater margins obtained on projects carried out by Elecnor abroad and of containing overhead expenses,
bringing them into line with the economic events of the year. Dividends received from subsidiaries directly owned by Elecnor,
S.A. amounted to EUR 19.9 million, as compared with EUR 33.4 million in 2008. This drop was offset in income by the sound
performance of the various projects carried out by Elecnor, S.A.
At consolidated level, the Elecnor Group achieved revenue of EUR 1,678 million, compared with EUR 1,911 million in 2008,
representing a decrease in sales of 12.2%. As in the case of the Parent, this decrease arose as a result of the standstill in the PV
sector due to the new regulatory framework applicable in this industry. Although the sales billings of Atersa, a Group company
which operates in the PV market, dropped from EUR 442 million in 2008 to EUR 102 million in 2009, it is facing the future with
optimised production structures and expectations of growth on the sales achieved in 2009.
The notable decrease in the sales at Atersa was not reflected in the Group’s aggregates taken as a whole, as a result of the
increase of the business in the foreign market through subsidiaries with the aim of optimising local structures, close presence
in the country, etc. This strategy increased revenue of the Elecnor Group and partially offset the decrease recorded by the Pa-
rent.
The Elecnor Group achieved profit after tax of EUR 97.1 million, 3.8% higher than the EUR 93.6 million obtained in 2008.
The factors which led to this increase included a greater contribution made by the Brazilian concession operators, assisted by
the appreciation of the Brazilian real against both the US dollar and the euro; the entry into service of the new transmission
systems managed by these subsidiaries; the greater contribution made to the Group by Elecnor, S.A. as a result of the increased
margins obtained on projects which it is carrying out abroad, and the aforementioned overhead expenses containment policy.
As part of Elecnor’s dedication to equipping itself with the resources required for the ongoing improvement of its productivity
levels, it invested EUR 8.5 million in the renewal of equipment used by the company.

Outlook for 2010


According to the leading authorities on economic matters, the economy will recover very slowly and they point to the pos-
sibility of a slight recession in the first half of 2010.
As indicated at the beginning of this directors’ report, the main challenge facing the largest economies is to determine how
and when to withdraw the various monetary and fiscal measures implemented to cushion the effects of the financial crisis. In
the opinion of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the immediate challenge is not to
withdraw these economic stimulus measures too soon. The UN underscored the fact that governments around the world res-
ponded to the crisis with massive fiscal stimulus measures, amounting to USD 2.6 billion in 2008 and 2009, equal to 4% of gross
world product.
According to the “World Economic Outlook Update” published by the International Monetary Fund on 26 January 2010,
“the global recovery is off to a stronger start than anticipated earlier but is proceeding at different speeds in the various re-
gions”. The IMF expects GWP to grow at a rate of 3.9% in 2010 and at 4.3% in 2011. Recovery will proceed at two speeds, since
the rebound in developed countries is weaker than in previous recessions, whereas business in many emerging countries will
be relatively swift, due especially to dynamic domestic demand.
The IMF’s forecasts for the United States indicate growth of 2.7% for 2010 and 2.4% for 2011; however, the eurozone is ex-
pected to grow at a slower rate, with forecast GDP growth of 1.0% in 2010 and 1.3% in 2011.
Spain’s GDP will fall less than expected in 2010, contracting 0.6% as compared with 3.6% in 2009. Even so, Spain will be the
only major economy still in recession in 2010. According to the IMF, “Spanish domestic dynamics have been weaker than expec-
ted”. The body also stated that “the high level of unemployment will weigh on the Spanish economy for quite some time and
it will take longer for Spain to climb out of this recession”, and encouraged the Spanish government to “undertake a series of
structural reforms to allow greater labour flexibility, increase productivity and competitiveness, and develop an economic model
sustainable over time”.
Interest rates on both sides of the Atlantic are expected to remain low, at 1% in the eurozone and between 0% and 0.25%
in the US. As indicated at the beginning of this directors’ report, the heads of central banks are considering how and when the
surplus liquidity injected should be withdrawn, and the effects of these low interest rates on inflation. In reality, general inflation
is very low and underlying inflation is decelerating. The risk of deflation has not fully disappeared and it would therefore be
wise to delay the exit strategy until recovery is assured.
As regards the raw materials markets, oil prices were following a downward trend at the end of January 2010 due to, inter
alia, the increased petrol reserves in the US and, in the second fortnight of January, the price of oil stood at USD 74 per barrel,
the lowest price since 23 December 2009.
With respect to the currency market, the euro, having traded at USD 1.50 in mid-December, stood below USD 1.40 at the end
of January 2010 and is expected to continue this downward trend. One of the main causes for this drop has been speculation
and doubts among investors as to the financial position of certain eurozone countries, thereby affording the dollar a role as a
safe-haven currency.
In this context, the Elecnor Group held a business portfolio amounting to EUR 1,017 million, as compared with EUR 953
million in 2008, representing an increase of 6.7%. Faced with the economic backdrop as described throughout this directors’
report, the fact that Elecnor has this volume of contracts yet to be executed merely confirms the robustness of the Group,
which is capable of weathering this worldwide financial crisis and maintaining the size it achieved in periods of economic boom.
The outstanding backlog is distributed equally between the Spanish and international markets, accounting for EUR 514
million and EUR 503 million, respectively.
As in 2009, most of the work to be performed in 2010 on the international market is scheduled through subsidiaries, with
the aim of achieving significant structural, economic and fiscal synergies.
Consequently, the Elecnor Group and its Parent, Elecnor, S.A., are approaching 2010 with the aim of continuing to consolidate
itself as a benchmark company in the energy and infrastructure project management and development market, and hope to
improve on the revenue and profit aggregates obtained in 2009. In order to achieve these targets, the Group has both a signi-
ficant backlog of contracts and sound expectations.

R&D+i
In 2009, with the ever present aim of increasing both the quality and quantity of the services provided to its customers, the
Elecnor Group has continued its commitment to Research, Development and Innovation. The most noteworthy projects include
the following:

Wave power
In September 2009 a Memorandum of Understanding was entered into with the Australian company Biopower Systems,
which provides for the development of wave energy projects using BioPower’s bioWAVE technology in Elecnor’s core business
regions: Spain, Portugal and South America.
The viability of a 750 kW demonstration project in Spain, “Use of Wave Energy in Santoña, Cantabria”, which would begin
in 2011 is currently being studied. This would be conditional upon the success of a pilot test in Australia, which will be 2/3 the
size and 1/3 the power that of the final project.
Once the demonstration project has been successfully completed, it is hoped to market the product and to set up 40 MW
wave farms in the business regions defined in the MoU.

Business Knowledge Management System


Certain initiatives were taken in 2009 with a view to optimising the management of projects, bids, suppliers and orders. These
focused on developing the following five applications, which were the result of the strategic plan implemented at Elecnor:
• Project Management System “PMS – AS400 Synchronisation”

INFORME ANUAL 2009 - 151


PMS is a web tool which enables basic management of the stages involved in a project, from the offer being made and the
monitoring of the project costs, to order queries and the definitive closure of the project.
• Work reports
• HR, Training and Development Manager
This new application aims to improve the current human resources management system.
• Production Control
Production control and management is taken to be the process ranging from the definition of the expected initial budget
for a project, to the cost and time planning control and execution of the project, and concluding with its completion.
• Settlement of Expenses
The SoE application manages the expenses incurred by the employee.

Design and development of systems to guide and raise large diameter domes
A system to guide and raise large diameter domes was designed and developed. These spherical domes have a rectangular
base, are made of laminated steel, have a distance of 36m between the vertices and weigh up to 100 tonnes. The necessary
building process would be highly complex from every standpoint since, in addition to their design characteristics, the domes
must be supported by pillars up to 22m high and, therefore, it is not possible to construct them on site.

Initiatives taken by Atersa


The following developments carried out by this subsidiary are particularly noteworthy:
• Laser project: research into optical techniques which ATERSA could use to optimise its PV panel manufacturing processes.
• Solar-powered street furniture project: aims to size PV systems and develop luminaries and optical equipment adapted to
distribute the luminous fluxes necessary for solar-powered street furniture.
• New electronic equipment project: aims to develop new electronic equipment for PV systems which provide greater effi-
ciency than existing systems.
• Thin Film project: aims to provide an insight into the performance of the new thin film technologies and to gain a greater
understanding thereof.
• SEI project: its main aim is to maintain the level of quality, improvements and innovation for the various lines of action.

Initiatives taken by Deimos Space:


Projects carried out under the VII Framework Programme of the EU
• Project SEMSORGRID, which aims to use ontologies and GRID computing applied to multi-node sensor networks deployed
in different environments, such as floods and fires.
• Project ADDSAFE is the first European project in which Deimos Space has played a coordinating role and is partnering the
project with major industrial and institutional players in the aerospace market. The main objective of the project is to re-
search an advanced fault diagnosis system to improve flight guidance and control for aircraft.

Projects carried out under the National R&D Programmes


• Project ESPAÑA VIRTUAL emerged as a result of project EGLOBE. It is the most ambitious R&D project undertaken at Deimos
Space. Its objective is to study, develop, mature and design the technologies, protocols, standards, architectures and, in ge-
neral, the bases that will afford a 3D interface for internet content and services.
• Project BAIP2020 arose as a result of the need to adopt an integral technological focus applicable to next-generation fishing
boats.
• Project ENTASVE aims to gain an insight into certain technologies relating to space surveillance systems.
• Project PLAREN proposes to develop advanced algorithms to enable integrated GPS, Galileo and EGNOS signals within the
same receiver, which would be installed on a development hardware platform in real-time and tested in the various user
environments, both ground-based and for potential space applications.
• Project GEMA has as its objective the detailed study of the conditions, capabilities and technologies required to control
large and heterogeneous fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles, taking into account the operational conditions and the profiles
of actual missions.
• Project ALDEBARAN aims to develop a flight demonstrator, centring on the activities required to prepare for future launch
vehicles.
• Project PROSES aims to research new communications protocols which enable information to be exchanged via degraded
connections, with a view to expanding the capacity and reliability of present communications.
Projects performed under the framework of Regional R&D Plans (IMADE)
• Project DIALPIE has the objective of carrying out a viability study of establishing a system to determine optimum dialysis
through electroencephalography (EEG) analysis as a step towards future integration with dialysis machines.
• Project ADONS aims to create a prototype for a new orbit determination platform which will use new technology for parallel
processing and new data factoring methods to obtain the satellite systems’ orbits, oriented towards application to systems
such as the Galileo satellite constellation.

Initiatives taken by Cosinor


• Positioning and control of parabolic cylinders at solar plants: a controller (including the hardware and embedded software
components) was developed to position the parabolic cylinders at a solar thermal facility, with maximum precision, with
respect to the sun in order to focus solar radiation on the central absorber pipe and heat the oil to a high temperature. The
thermal energy is subsequently converted into electricity.
• Monitoring of solar PV farms: Cosinor has developed a system (HELIADA) which monitors the main operating variables of
PV plants and aims to optimise the operations and maintenance of the facilities and speed up the response to incidents.
• GPRS irrigation controls (SIGIREG): SIGIREG is an integrated irrigation control system which uses GPRS-based mobile com-
munications between a control centre equipped with industry-specific software, and the remote SIGI+ control units.
• Real-time energy manager for buildings: within the framework cooperation agreement between Fundación Labein and
Cosinor, both parties are working together to develop an energy manager aimed at efficiently managing buildings in real-
time, based on the management of the charges, sources of energy and levels of comfort and consumption forecasts.

Initiatives taken by Hidroambiente


Hidroambiente carried out its technology innovation strategy by means of two projects:
• Advanced oxidation of formates in fluidised bed systems (this project is sponsored by the Erraberritu programme of Pro-
vincial Government of Vizcaya)
• New “Excel” water clarification system (a three-year project (2009-2011) financed by the Industrial Technological Develop-
ment Centre (CDTI).

Share capital
At 31 December 2008, following the splitting of Elecnor, S.A. shares on 15 September, share capital was represented by 90
million fully subscribed and paid ordinary bearer shares of EUR 0.10 par value each. The shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting held on 20 May 2009 approved the share capital reduction of EUR 300 thousand, through the retirement of 3 million
treasury shares, or 3.33% of share capital.
As a result, the share capital of Elecnor, S.A. now consists of 87 million shares of EUR 0.10 par value each. On 30 June 2009,
the resolution to reduce share capital was announced, for subsequent registration at the Mercantile Registry.
The shares of Elecnor, S.A. are listed on the Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System, the market where the shares of
Spain's leading companies are traded and which has the highest volume of trading.
At 31 December 2009, Elecnor, S.A. held 717,059 treasury shares, which accounted for 0.82% of the share capital. At the be-
ginning of 2009 3,689,927 treasury shares were held and, throughout the year, 371,366 were acquired, 344,234 were disposed
of and 3,000,000 were retired.
