Schedule of changes in contract assets

Contract assets are measured based on their acquisition cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs. The depreciable amounts in the concession contract are transferred to intangible assets when the assets are put into operation. The indirect affiliate Comgás reassesses the useful life, and whenever this assessment reveals that the amortization period will exceed the term of the concession agreement, a portion of the asset is converted into a financial asset because it represents a receivable from the granting authority. This classification follows IFRIC 12 - Concession Agreements.
