Reference: Assessment of the potential impacts of the new standard for financial
instruments, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments
1. Objective
This memorandum has been prepared in order to identify the potential impacts of the application of the new standard
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” for:
IFRS 9 replaces the previous standard IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and is effective
from January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. In general, IFRS 9 should be applied retrospectively. However,
the entities can use a practical expedient to not restate the comparative period presented in the financial statements,
recognizing the cumulative effect in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Furthermore, the new hedge accounting
requirements are generally applied prospectively.
The standard introduces changes which are related to the classification of financial assets as well as hedge
accounting but the largest impact for non-financial entities is likely to be the new approach for measuring impairment
using an expected loss approach.
It is important to mention that the assessment contained in this memo is effected in order to ensure that the Group as
a whole can comply with the requirements of IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and
Errors” for the Group consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017. IAS 8 requires, in paragraph 30,
the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative impacts of new IFRS that are issued but not yet effective.
Additionally, this memo serves as support documentation of the diagnostic of IFRS 9 for statutory purposes of the
Companies.
2. Structure
The principal requirements of IFRS 9 can be divided in the following topics: a) Classification and Measurement, b)
Impairment, and c) Hedge Accounting. This memorandum has been structured explaining the following for each of the
main topics:

On August 16, a merger between Kallpa Generación S.A. and Cerro del Aguila S.A. occurred being CDA the acquirer or surviving
entity and Kallpa the acquired or absorbed entity. Then CDA was renamed Kallpa Generación S.A..

The table below summarizes the main changes of IFRS 9 compared to IAS 39:
Classification and IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the classification (based on Business Model
Measurement Assessment and SPPI*-test) and measurement of financial assets and, in some cases, the
required treatment will be different from IAS 39. For example, if an entity has complex
financial instruments, externally regulated capital requirements, or are sensitive to the
potential income statement impacts of re-measurement.
• 3 categories for financial assets: fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), fair
value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and amortized cost
• FVTPL is a residual category
• Option to use FVTPL if it eliminates or substantially reduces a measurement
inconsistency (i.e. accounting mismatch)
• Recognition of changes in own credit risk through OCI for financial liabilities
designated at FVTPL
• Option to recognize equity instruments not “held for trading” as FVOCI without
recycling to PL.
• Elimination of the exception to recognize non-quoted equity instruments at cost.
• Measurement of some prepayable financial assets with negative compensation at
amortized costs, instead of FVTPL
*analysis if the asset´s contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and
interest
Impairment IFRS 9’s new impairment model is a move away from IAS 39’s incurred credit loss
approach to an expected credit loss model and, therefore, no longer requires a credit event
to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Earlier recognition of impairment
losses is likely to result and for entities with significant lending activities, an overhaul of
related systems and processes will be needed.
• Three-stage general impairment model for financial assets that are performing,
underperforming or non-performing
• Impairment based on expected (i.e. rather than incurred) losses calculated using
potential credit loss and probability of default
• Practical expedient to use lifetime expected losses for trade receivables, contract
assets and lease receivables held by non-financial institutions if they do not
contain a significant financial component
• Policy choice to apply the three-stage general impairment model or the simplified
model for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables containing a
significant financial component
• Measurement of some prepayable financial assets with negative compensation at
amortized costs, instead of FVTPL (According to IFRS 9 amendment issued on
October, 2017 and effective for annual reporting periods on or after January 1,
2019, but earlier application is permitted).
Hedging Hedge accounting under IAS 39 has been often criticized as being complex and rules-
based, ultimately not reflecting an entity’s risk management activities. Therefore, a more
principle-based standard will align hedge accounting more closely with the risk
management.
Less stringent quantitative testing requirements and a broader scope means that IFRS 9’s
new hedging guidance will be a welcome change for most. While all entities applying hedge

Kallpa
On May 2016, Kallpa Generación S.A. had raised capital by issuing public debt instruments under
Rule144A/Regulation S, for an amount of US$ 350 million (the “New Notes”) to refinance its debts (short-term loans,
local bonds, Syndicate Loan and Financial Leases for Kallpa II and III) at a more attractive interest rates, extending
maturity dates and taking advantage of its investment grade rating.
9
Kallpa Generación S.A. had evaluated based on quantitative (10% Present Value-test) as well as qualitative factors if
there was a substantial modification of the terms of the existing financial liability.. The result of the aforementioned
analysis was a no substantive modification of the existing debt terms without de-recognition of the original financial
liability (a detailed analysis was performed in the Technical Accounting Memorandum as of June 30, 2016).
The difference between the original and modified cash flows was amortized over the remaining term of the modified
liability by re-calculating the effective interest rate, with no recognition of a gain or loss at the date of modification.
IFRS 9 requires that entities must recognize a gain or loss at the date of modification when a financial liability
measured at amortized cost is modified without this resulting in derecognition. The gain or loss is calculated as the
difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective
interest rate. As a result, the carrying amount of Kallpa´s notes due 2026 as of December 31, 2017 of US$ 329,432
thousand, for which a new effective interest was calculated at the time of the change in terms, will be recalculated
from the date of the change in terms. If the new standard had been applied at balance sheet date, the
carrying amount of said liabilities would have increased by the amount range of US$ 13,000 – US$15,000 thousand
with a corresponding decrease in equity.
This matter was discussed by the IASB and IFRS IC due to the fact that IFRS 9 only specifies the accounting for
modifications of financial assets that do not result in derecognition but not for financial liabilities that do not result in
derecognition. On October 2017, the outcome of these discussions was included in the Basis for Conclusions that
accompany the amendment to IFRS 9 for prepayment features with negative compensation:
[BC4.252.] Concurrent with the development of the amendments to IFRS 9 for prepayment features with negative
compensation, the IASB also discussed the accounting for a modification or exchange of a financial liability measured
at amortized cost that does not result in the de-recognition of the financial liability. More specifically, at the request of
the Interpretations Committee, the Board discussed whether, applying IFRS 9, an entity recognizes any adjustment to
the amortized cost of the financial liability arising from such a modification or exchange in profit or loss at the date of
the modification or exchange.
[BC4.253] The IASB decided that standard-setting is not required because the requirements in IFRS 9 provide an
adequate basis for an entity to account for modifications and exchanges of financial liabilities that do not result in
derecognition. In doing so, the Board highlighted that the requirements in IFRS 9 for adjusting the amortised cost of a
financial liability when a modification (or exchange) does not result in the derecognition of the financial liability are
consistent with the requirements for adjusting the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when a modification
does not result in the derecognition of the financial asset.”
Kallpa Generación S.A. will suffer an impact on the transition date to IFRS 9 due to the fact that the current
accounting policy is not in line with IFRS 9. IFRS 9 must be applied retrospectively therefore modification gains and
losses arising from financial liabilities that are still recognized at the date of initial application (e.g. 1 January 2018 for
calendar year end companies) would need to be calculated and adjusted through opening retained earnings on
transition.
Under the new standard there is no change to the accounting for costs and fees when a modification occurs. When
an instrument has been modified (but not substantially), any fees and costs incurred are recognized as an adjustment
to the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified liability.
The Company has performed the calculation retrospectively and determined an adjustment net of the corresponding
deferred income tax of US$ 9,695 thousands as of January 01, 2018. (For further details, see the calculation in the
Excel file sheet).
Impairment
IAS 39 contemplates an impairment model based on incurred losses. This means, that an entity does
not recognize an impairment loss until there is an objective evidence that a loss has incurred.
