Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. (a Peruvian company) and its Subsidiaries (together the "Group") as of September 30, 2015, and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Auditing Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2.1           Basis of preparation -
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial investments and derivatives financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in nuevos soles and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (S/.000), except as otherwise indicated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

New standards, interpretations and amendments
 
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group´s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Several new standards and amendments apply for the first time in 2015. However, they do not impact the interim condensed consolidated financial statements or the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements (continued)

       For information purpose, following is a summary of the nature and impact of each new standard:

       -  
Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
This amendment is not relevant to the Group, because the Group does not use this form of employment contribution.

       -  
Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle
These improvements are effective from 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments since January 1, 2015, however these amendments did not generate impacts on the Group’s financial statements. They include:

IFRS 8 Operating Segments
The amendments clarify that an entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria and the reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities.

The Group is not required to apply the aggregation criteria in IFRS 8.12. The Group has presented the reconciliation of segment assets to total assets in previous periods and continues to disclose the same in note 14 in these financial statements as the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating for the purpose of decision making.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets
The amendment clarifies that the asset may be revalued by reference to observable data by either adjusting the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value or by determining the market value of the carrying value and adjusting the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset. The Group did not record any revaluation adjustments during the current interim period.

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
The amendment clarifies that a management entity (an entity that provides key management personnel services) is a related party subject to the related party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services. This amendment is not relevant for the Group as it has not received any management services from other entities.

    -  
Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle
These improvements are effective from 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments since January 1, 2015, however these amendments did not generate impacts on the Group’s financial statements. They include:

The Group has not yet early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31,2014 this caption mainly include trade receivables, value-added tax credit, interest receivables and tax refund receivable. In this specific case, according to the Company’s management and its legal advisor’s opinion, it is more likely than not that the subsidiary will recover these tax refunds, since it complied with all the formal and substantive requirements to obtain the VAT benefit. As a result, the Company’s management has concluded that there is no need to record a valuation allowance for this VAT credit.

  5.           Inventories
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 the Group has not recognized any provision for inventory carried at net realizable value (as of September 30, 2014, the Group reversed the provision for inventory carried at net realizable value for S/.21,000).

  6.           Property, plant and equipment
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 the additions of the Group amounted approximately to S/.133,403,000 and S/.372,706,000, respectively  (S/.208,717,000 and S/.474,089,000 during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014), which are mainly related to  the construction of a cement plant located in Piura in the northern of Peru. On September 1, 2015 a part of this project is operating.

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, the Group disposed assets with a net book value of S/.1,137,000 and S/. 3,511,000, respectively, resulting in a net loss on disposal of S/.1,100,000 and gain of S/.7,661,000, respectively, (net loss of S/.1,079,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014), which was included in the “Operating income (expense)” caption of the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

In connection with the construction of the cement plant in Piura, the borrowings costs capitalized during the three and nine-month periods ended as of September 30, 2015 were approximately S/.10,534,000 and S/.29,608,000, respectively. The rate used to determine the amount of borrowings costs eligible for capitalization was approximately 5.00 percent, which is the effective rate of the only borrowing the Group has as of September 30, 2015. The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by applying the capitalization rate to the expenditures on qualifying assets.

As of September 30, 2015 the Group maintain accounts payable related to property, plant and equipment for S/.15,250,000 (S/.21,183,000 as of December 31,2014).

Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income reflect the positive change in fair value of cross currency swaps contracts, designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the Senior Notes balance denominated in US dollars.

Except cash flow hedge and available-for-sale investments, all financial assets which included cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables, are classified in the category of loans and receivables, are non-derivative financial assets carried at amortized cost and generate a fixed or variable interest income for the Group. The carrying value may be affected by changes in the credit risk of the counterparties.

Financial liabilities -
All financial liabilities of the Group including trade and other payables and interest-bearing loans and borrowings are classified as loans and borrowings and are carried at amortized cost.
         
(b) Hedging activities and derivatives -
  Cash flow hedges -

Management assessed that cash and term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

 
-
The fair value of cross currency swaps is measured by using valuation techniques where inputs are based on market data.  The most frequently applied valuation techniques include swap valuation models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange, forward rates and interest rate curves.

A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is applied to the “Over-The-Counter” derivative exposures to take into account the counterparty’s risk of default when measuring the fair value of the derivative.  CVA is the mark-to market cost of protection required to hedge credit risk from counterparties in this type of derivatives portfolio.  CVA is calculated by multiplying the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the expected exposure (EE) at the time of default.

A debit valuation adjustment (DVA) is applied to incorporate the Group’s own credit risk in the fair value of derivatives (that is the risk that the Group might default on its contractual obligations), using the same methodology as for CVA.

 
-
The fair value of the quoted senior notes is based on price quotations at the reporting date, net of issuance costs.  The Group has not unquoted liability instruments for which fair value is disclosed as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
-
Fair value of available-for-sale investments is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.

(d)
Fair value hierarchy-
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group´s assets and liabilities.

Risk management activities-
As a result of its activities, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk therefore the Company has acquired hedge financial instruments to mitigate that risk. Since November, 2014 the Group uses cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk of the Senior Notes denominated in US dollars. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was a moderate volatility in the US Dollar exchange rate against the Nuevo Sol which effects were partially mitigated by the cross currency swaps hedge signed by the Company.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, except for the financial instruments (cross currency swaps) signed by the Company to hedge the foreign currency risk of its Senior Notes, the Group had no other financial instruments to hedge its foreign exchange risk, interest rates or market price (purchase price of coal) fluctuations.

Due to possible interpretations that the tax authorities may give to legislation in effect, it is not possible to determine whether any of the tax audits that may be performed will result in increased liabilities for the Group. For that reason, tax or surcharge that could arise from future tax audits would be applied to the income during the period in which it is determined. However, in management’s opinion, any possible additional payment of taxes would not have a material effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.

Legal claim contingency
As of September 30, 2015, some third parties have commenced actions against the Group in relation with its operations which claims in aggregate represent S/.16,213,000. From this total amount, S/.1,330,000 corresponded to labor claims from former employees, S/.7,681,000 is related to property tax assessment received from Pacasmayo District Municipality for periods from 2009 to 2014, and S/.2,298,000 and S/.4,904,000 is related to the tax assessments received from the tax administration corresponding to 2009 and 2010 tax period, which was reviewed by the tax authority during 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Management expects that these claims will be resolved within the next five years based on prior experience; however, the Group cannot assure that these claims will be resolved within this period because the authorities do not have a maximum term to resolve cases. The Group has been advised by its legal counsel that it is only possible, but not probable, that these actions will succeed. Accordingly, no provision for any liability has been made in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Mining royalty
Third parties
The subsidiary Fosfatos del Pacífico S.A., signed an agreement with the Peruvian Government, Fundación Comunal San Martin de Sechura and Activos Mineros S.A.C. related to the use of the Bayovar concession, which contains phosphoric rock and diatomites.  As part of this agreement, the Subsidiary Fosfatos del Pacífico S.A. is required to pay to Fundación Comunal San Martin de Sechura and Activos Mineros S.A.C. an equivalent amount to US$1.5 each for each metric tons of diatomite extracted. The annual royalty may not be less than the equivalent to 40,000 metric tons during the second year of production and 80,000 metric tons since the third year of production. This royalty amounted to S/.580,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 ( S/.507,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014).

In December 2013, the Company signed an agreement with a third party, related to the use of the Virrilá concession, to carry out other non-metallic mining activities.  This agreement has a term of maturity of 30 years, with fixed annual payments of US$600,000 for the first three years and variables to the rest of the contract. These payments were recognized as part of property, plant and equipment on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As part of this agreement, the Company is required to pay an equivalent amount to US$4.5 each for each metric tons of calcareous extracted; the annual royalty may not be less than the equivalent to 850,000 metric tons since the fourth year of production.
