2020 ANNUAL REPORT
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MEGACABLE.
The book value of the components replaced is derecognized. Maintenance and repair expenses related to daily property,
networks and equipment services are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income at the time they
are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of the remaining properties, networks and equipment is systematically determined on
the value of the assets, on a straight-line basis, which is applied to the cost of the assets without including their residual value
and considering their useful lives expected by Management, which are as follows:
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the respective operating lease agreements. The residual values
and useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, on the closing date of each year.
The value of property, networks and equipment is reviewed when there are indicators of impairment in the value of said
assets. When the recovery value, which is the higher between the sale price and its use value (which is the present value of
future cash flows) is less than the net book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. For the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no indicators of impairment. See Note 20).

Goodwill and intangible assets-
a) Goodwill
Goodwill arises from the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the consideration transferred in excess of the Group's
interest in the net fair value of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired
entity and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the acquired entity.
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and is recognized at cost deducting accumulated
impairment losses, which are not reversed.
For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each Cash Generating Unit
(CGU) or groups of cash generating units, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit
or group of units to which goodwill has been assigned represents the lowest level within the entity to which goodwill is
controlled for internal management purposes. Goodwill is controlled at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are carried out annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
possible impairment. The book value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the highest value between
the value in use and the fair value less costs of sale. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not
subsequently reversed.
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment losses were recognized in goodwill. See Note 11.

Intangible assets acquired during 2019 that were not in a business combination were recorded at acquisition cost. Intangible
assets acquired in a business combination are valued at their fair value at the date of purchase. The main intangible assets
recognized by the acquisitions is the subscriber portfolio, which according to the study carried out has a useful life of
approximately four years. They are amortized on a straight-line basis. See Note 12.
b) Trademarks and patents
Trademarks and patents acquired individually are recognized at historical cost. Trademarks and patents acquired through
business combinations are recognized at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and patents have a defined
