3.4

Use of estimates and judgments

In the preparation of these financial statements, Management used judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Company. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Changes in estimates are recognized prospectively.

Management’s judgment on going concern

Management has concluded that there are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. No events or conditions were identified that, individually or in the aggregate, may raise significant doubts on its ability to continue as a going concern.

The main bases of judgment used for such conclusion are: (i) main activities resulting from long-term concessions; (ii) robust equity; (iii) strong operating cash generation, including financial capacity to settle commitments entered into with financial institutions; (iv) historical profitability; and (v) fulfillment of the objectives and targets set forth in the Company's Strategic Planning, which is approved by Management, monitored and reviewed periodically, seeking the continuity of its activities.

3.6

Restatement of comparative balances

3.6.1

Reclassification of the assets of the Existing System Basic Network - RBSE

After the initial adoption in 2018 of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) published on December 1, 2020 complementary interpretive guidance on the adoption of these standards to be observed in the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Electricity Transmitting Companies for the Financial Statements at December 31, 2020.

With regard to the treatment of the assets of the Existing System Basic Network (RBSE), Technical Note No. 336/2016 of Aneel regulated the calculation method for calculating the cost of capital and calculating the Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP) regarding the value of the installations of the RBSE assets and determined payment amounts and terms for the concessionaires. The RAP calculation was divided into two components: economic, referring to the cost of capital of non-depreciated assets in July 2017, and financial, referring to the unpaid cost of capital between January 2013 and June 2017, with annual payment for an 8-year term.

Copel's interpretation, when implementing Technical Pronouncements IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, was to classify the financial portion as a financial asset at amortized cost by understanding, at the time, that: Aneel separated the receipt flows with specific contractual terms, that assets are maintained in the business model to receive contractual cash flow; and that the application of the Variable Portion (PV) would not significantly change the economic nature of the financial portion.

However, CVM's understanding, presented in Circular Letter/CVM/SNC/ SEP/No. 04/2020, is that there is the same category of RBSE asset, subject to the same regulation and the same tariff and regulation mechanism, in a way that the entire transmission infrastructure should be classified as a contract asset.

Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, Copel reclassified the balances of RBSE assets that were recorded in line item Accounts receivable linked to concession to Contract assets. Additionally, the balances of these line items, in the Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019, are being restated to reflect the reclassification, for comparative purposes, with no effect on the total current assets and non-current assets, in the statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows of previous years. The reclassification also had no impact the covenants of borrowing and debenture agreements. The following tables show the effects only between the asset line items:

Earnings and dividends per share

On March 11, 2021, the General Meeting approved the submission of the proposal for comprehensive amendment and consolidation of the Company's bylaws, including, among other changes, the share split of the Company, in the proportion of one share for ten shares, so that, for every one share issued by the Company, nine new shares of the same class and type will be credited.
