Statements of Cash Flows in operating, investing and financing activities

 

A separate line entitled "Decrease in cash and cash equivalents of discontinued operations and businesses held for sale" was previously presented on the face of the Cash Flow Statement in order to reconcile to the Company's cash balance on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which excludes cash from discontinued operations.  As part of the restatement, the Company has changed its presentation to include the net change in cash balances for discontinued operations as a component of net cash from operating activities.  The result of this reclassification increased net cash from operating activities by $4 million, $66 million and $85 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Net cash from operating activities increased $3 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

(1) Adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is

    defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing

    operations excluding gains or losses associated with (a)

    mark-to-market amounts related to FAS 133 derivative

    transactions, (b) foreign currency transaction impacts on the

    net monetary position related to Brazil, Venezuela, and

    Argentina, (c) significant asset gains or losses due to

    disposition transactions and impairments, and (d) early

    retirement of recourse debt. AES believes that adjusted

    earnings per share better reflects the underlying business

    performance of the Company, and is considered in the

    Company's internal evaluation of financial performance.

 

    Factors in this determination include the variability

    associated with mark-to-market gains or losses related to

    certain derivative transactions, currency transaction gains

    or losses, periodic strategic decisions to dispose of certain

    assets which may fluence results in a given period, and the

    early retirement of corporate debt.

 

(2) The Quarter ended June 30, 2005 and Nine Months Ended

    September 30, 2005 includes $(0.06) related to Brazil

    receivable reserve costs net of a reversal of a business tax

    reserve. The quarter ended September 30, 2005 and nine months

    ended September 30, 2005 includes $0.06 related to an

    Argentina valuation allowance reversal.

 

(3) The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 includes $(0.03)

(1) The cash held at qualifying holding companies (QHCs)

    represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the company domiciled

    outside of the US.  Such subsidiaries had no contractual

    restrictions on their ability to send cash to AES, the parent

    company. Cash at those subsidiaries was used for investment

    and related activities outside of the US.  These investments

    included equity investments and loans to other foreign

    subsidiaries as well as development and general costs and

    expenses incurred outside the US.  Since the cash held by

    these qualifying holding companies is available to the 

    parent, AES uses the combined measure of subsidiary

    distributions to parent and qualified holding companies as a

    useful measure of cash available to the parent to meet its

    international liquidity needs.

 

(2) AES believes that unconsolidated parent company liquidity is

    important to the liquidity position of AES as a Parent

    company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES's

    indebtedness.

per share from continuing

operations as restated       $ 0.19    $0.40    $0.52   $ (3.83)

                            

 

(1) Revenue was impacted by the deferral of revenue at

    Eletropaulo and Sul to correctly match the earning of revenue

    with the expenditures required by the regulator in relation

    to its energy efficiency program.  In addition, revenue was

    adjusted for the correction of certain acquisition

    liabilities related to the Cameroon utility.  These

    liabilities impacted the initial valuation of the "concession

    asset" which represented excess purchase cost over the fair

    value of identifiable assets and liabilities.  This concession

    asset is amortized through revenue.

 

(2) Depreciation expense was impacted by changes in deferred tax

    balances as of the acquisition date of certain subsidiaries.

    These deferred tax adjustments in turn affected the amount of

    excess purchase cost originally allocated to fixed assets,

    thus impacting subsequent depreciation amounts.

 

(3) Interest expense was impacted primarily by the correct

    accounting for changes in inflation on certain Brazilian debt

    instruments.

 

(4) Goodwill impairment expense was impacted by the correction of

    acquisition deferred tax balances, which adjusted the

    acquired entity's excess fair value over identifiable assets

    or liabilities (goodwill).  For certain of these

    subsidiaries, goodwill subsequent to the acquisition was

    impaired and written off in 2002.  Therefore the corrections

    to the goodwill balances were also written off.

 

(5) Foreign currency translation gains (losses) were impacted by

    the correct remeasurement of deferred tax balances at current

    rates at entities where the US dollar is the functional

    currency.

 

(6) Income tax expense was impacted by the creation and

    subsequent adjustment of deferred tax assets or liabilities

    related to the foreign currency changes on US dollar

    denominated debt at certain Brazilian subsidiaries; the

    recording of an adjustment related to Sul (a dual tax status

    entity) recognizing the tax impact of potential future

    foreign income included in the US return; the creation of

    additional valuation allowances; and the reconciliation of

    deferred tax balances as a result of reconciling tax return

    records to related accounting records.

 

(7) Minority interest (income) expense was impacted by tax and

    other corrections to minority owned subsidiaries' earnings.
