The first quarter of 2003 was impacted by a strong appreciation of the Real currency, in relation to the US dollar. Such appreciation was caused by the wide-spread opinion about the enhancement of the Brazilian economic and political scenario, with a consequent reduction in the country’s credit risk. During the first quarter, the appreciation of the Real in relation to the US$ reached 5.1%, as compared to a depreciation of 0.14% in the same period of 2002. Such effect negatively impacted Eletrobrás, since the company holds assets represented by loans and financing receivable, mainly from Itaipu, which are dollar indexed, and thus recorded high expenses originated by currency devaluation. On the part of the controlled companies, since they hold dollar indexed liabilities, the appreciation was positive for them, which caused a favorable effect in the formation of the equity revenue on Eletrobrás. The currency variation represented a net loss of R$ 1,015 million, whereas the monetary variation resulted in e net revenue of R$ 359 million. The final balance of these accounts registered a loss of R$ 656 million during the first quarter of 2003, in comparison with R$ 13 million for the same period of 2002.

ELETROBRÁS’ PERFORMANCE DURING THE

FIRST QUARTER 2003 Rio de Janeiro, May 15th, 2003 – Eletrobrás recorded in the first quarter of 2003 a loss in the amount of R$ 227.7 million, equivalent to R$ 0.42 per 1000 shares, in comparison to a net income of R$ 299.3 million, equivalent to R$ 0.56 per 1000 shares, for the same period of 2002. The first quarter of 2003 was impacted by a strong appreciation of the Real currency, in relation to the US dollar. Such appreciation was caused by the wide-spread opinion about the enhancement of the Brazilian economic and political scenario, with a consequent reduction in the country’s credit risk. During the first quarter, the appreciation of the Real in relation to the US$ reached 5.1%, as compared to a depreciation of 0.14% in the same period of 2002. Such effect negatively impacted Eletrobrás, since the company holds assets represented by loans and financing receivable, mainly from Itaipu, which are dollar indexed, and thus recorded high expenses originated by currency devaluation. On the part of the controlled companies, since they hold dollar indexed liabilities, the appreciation was positive for them, which caused a favorable effect in the formation of the equity revenue on Eletrobrás. The currency variation represented a net loss of R$ 1,015 million, whereas the monetary variation resulted in e net revenue of R$ 359 million. The final balance of these accounts registered a loss of R$ 656 million during the first quarter of 2003, in comparison with R$ 13 million for the same period of 2002. The controlled companies of Eletrobrás recorded of a revenue on the equity method in the amount of R$ 80 million, therefore inferior to the value recorded during the first quarter of 2002, of R$ 158 million.

The results from the generating subsidiary companies of Eletrobrás are highly influenced by the market performance, with high amounts of non-contracted energy and by the price practiced at MAE, which is not sufficient to cover the generation costs of that energy. Additionally, Furnas has owns a contract for power with CIEN and Termo Cuiabá, whereas Eletronorte buys energy from Termo Norte, for supply to Acre and Rondônia, at a higher price than its supply tariff. We wish to point out that some other provisions were made this quarter, relating to civil contingencies of compulsory loans, in the amount of R$ 95 million.

The company has a conservative practice of considering in the evaluation of temporary investments the stockholders equity of the companies under this category. As a consequence, Eletrobrás makes

Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. - Eletrobrás Marketletter – March 2003 provisions for coverage of negative stockholders equity of those investments, which caused, in the first quarter, a negative impact of R$ 50 million.

The role of energy trader of the energy from Itaipu, performed by Eletrobrás since January/2003, doesn’t impact directly on the result, as established by specific legislation on the subject. The surplus registered during the first quarter, in the amount of R$ 68.7 million, is destined for the payment of premium to consumers of residential and rural classes, with monthly consumption below 350 kWh, according to Decree 4550, dated December 27,2002, and is presented in the Statement of Income, under Charges with consumers. Infovias business Eletrobrás, after examining all the points related to the request of bankruptcy of Eletronet, and bearing in mind that Lightpar owns credits towards Eletronet, which when paid will be passed to controlled companies of Eletrobrás, decided, in a conservative manner, that this quarter, the stockholders equity would be reduced, in the amount of R$ 51,820 thousand, of controlled companies Furnas, Chesf, Eletrosul and Eletronorte for the effect of recognition of shareholding equity in these investments, which corresponds to accounts receivable kept by those companies towards Lightpar.

Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. - Eletrobrás Marketletter – March 2003 Eletrobrás’ Shares Local Market Eletrobrás’ shares, during the first quarter of 2003, recorded a depreciation in their quotations. Preferred “B” shares quotations registered a 15.5% decrease and as for common shares, a decrease of 24.04%. During the same period, Ibovespa index was stable, with a 0.04% increase, whereas the Index of Electric Power Shares, of Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo, decreased 11.5%. During the first quarter Eletrobrás shares recorded a daily average trade of 154 million common shares and 531 million preferred “B” shares ADR Market Since 1995, Eletrobrás has a registration in CVM for two American Depositary Receipts – ADR Level I , of the company’s common and preferred “B” class shares. The company’s Level I ADR’s are not allowed to publicly trade in the United States, and at the moment are traded on the over-the-counter market. At the end of the first quarter of 2003 the company’s ADR’s had a balance of 108.4 million ADR’s of common shares and 5.6 million ADR’s of preferred shares, with a ratio of 500 shares per each ADR. The ADR programs, due to the Real appreciation in relation to the US dollar, recorded in the 1st quarter of 2003 a depreciation in their quotations, which was inferior to the variation recorded by shares in the local market. ADR’s of preferred shares depreciated by 8.7% and 18.6% depreciation for the common shares. During the 1st quarter works with the objective of adapting the company’s accounting to the US GAAP were started, in order to obtain registration for listing Eletrobrás’ shares in the New York Stock Exchange, known as ADR’s Level II program. Such project is of major importance to the company and its controlled companies, since it increases the shares’ liquidity, as well as allows the increase of shareholders base. We also emphasize that for a company with Eletrobrás’ size, the listing in USA facilitates new future issues. Latibex Program Since 2000, Eletrobrás holds a registration of its common and preferred class “B” shares at LATIBEX, Program for Trading of Latin-American Companies’ Shares at the Madrid Stock Exchange, Spain, with reduced liquidity level. Eletrobrás is carrying out studies in order to contract specialists in this market, so as to increase the shares’ liquidity.

By the time of publishing of this report the 1st quarter financials of Lightpar were not available. We will make them available as soon as possible. The timetable for disclosure of Lightpar’ financials are conditioned to the outcome of facts, widely noticed, regarding Eletronet’s business, as follows.

Subsidiary companies Furnas, Chesf, Eletrosul, Eletronorte and Lightpar entered into the business of transmission of information signs, using the transmission grid owned by the controlled companies.

To make such project viable, Eletrobrás system has identified the need of association with private partnership, in order to be the intermediate, on behalf of the concessionaires, and under the orientation of the companies, aiming at their business interests by the use of their structures, by the private partner.

Lightpar was created on January 29, 1996, according to Law 9.163, dated December 15, 1995, originated from the split of Light – Serviços de Eletricidade S.A., and was identified as a company of the ELETROBRÁS System, holder of a legal structure suitable for its purposes.

So, Lightpar participates as minority partner in the capital of Eletronet, a special purpose company created to make the exploration of transportation of signs viable.

As representative of the interests of concessionaire companies controlled by ELETROBRÁS, Lightpar passes on the income of the business to the companies, and being entitled only a remuneration for the administration and reimbursement of expenses involved in the business. Lightpar, starting from 09/20/2002, according to decision of the Shareholders Meeting, assumed the administration of Eletronet, due to the indebtedness of majority shareholder AES Bandeirante Empreendimentos Ltda., holder of 51% of the capital, in the payment of the monetary correction of the fourth part of the capital.
