As of June 30, 2012, total assets increased by 3.03% or U.S.$ 381 million compared to December 31, 2011. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in the balance of Cash and cash equivalents, in Trade and other receivables, and Property, plant and equipment.

Moreover, liabilities increased by U.S.$ 412 million, mainly attributable to an increase in Financial Liabilities as a result of bonds issued in January and April 2012 of ThU.S.$ 733, offset by reductions in liabilities for payment of income tax and dividend payment in the month of May 2012.

The main financial and operating ratios are as follows:

 

Liquidity ratios

   06-30-2012      12-31-2011  

Current ratio

     3.45         2.39

The liquidity ratio and the acid ratio for the current period has increased this year compared to the period 2011. This is due to a major proportional increase in current assets compared to a proportional reduction in the variation of current liabilities, which in turn is explained by an increase in the Cash and cash equivalents in addition to a decrease of liabilities for income tax and dividend.

As of June 30, 2012, the short-term debt represented 13% of total liabilities compared to 19% as of December 2011.

The ratio of financial expenses covered decreased from 5.35 to 2.25 This drop is mainly attributable to a lower net income in 2012, compared to the same period of 2011.

 

b) Analysis of the Income Statement

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of U.S.$ 129 million for the six-month period compared to U.S.$ 453 million the same period of the previous year, a decrease of U.S.$ 324 million. The change is explained by the factors described in the following table:

Gross Margin presents a profit of U.S.$ 585 million, a decrease of U.S.$ 269 million compared to the same period (U.S.$ 854 million) caused by a proportional increase in Cost of sales and a decrease in sales prices, despite the increase in sales volumes, mainly in the cellulose business.

3. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

Pulp sales reached U.S.$ 507.6 million (including energy sales) for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of 7.0% compared to the previous quarter. This increase was mainly due to higher average prices and sales volume of 3.0% and 1.1% respectively.

When compared with the U.S.$ 612.7 million (including energy sales) reached in the same quarter of 2011, pulp sales decreased 17.1%. This decrease is mainly explained by lower average prices of 20.2%, partially offset by higher sales volume of 3.1%.

The moderate increase in prices of softwood and hardwood observed during the first quarter of 2012, changed during May and June. Excess of supply and less paper production in some regions pushed the market, downward, undermining the recovery experienced during the first quarter by the most representative markets. A difficult market with lower prices is generally expected during the Northen Hemisphere summer season. Paper production in general is lower during July and August, limiting the demand for pulp during the months of June and August. This seasonal effect occurred earlier than normal this year, and with a sharper decline when compared to the previous 3 years.

China was not the exception, aggressively pushing prices downward during May. Chinese paper producers faced less demand and were forced to decrease their production rates, stop production lines for certain periods of time and adjust “commodity” paper inventory levels. In specialty paper or tissue, the situation was better in terms of demand, however, pulp prices still decreased due to higher pulp supply. This higher pulp supply did not only occur because of less demand for commodity paper, but also because of an important pulp supply increase coming from Scandinavian countries that have not been able to sell its pulp production in Europe. This is the main reason why the most impacted grade was softwood. In long fiber, prices in China decreased nearly 10% and in short fiber 4%. This generally occurs in all Asian markets that follow China.

Europe has followed a similar trend, but there are additional factors that negatively impacted the European market, namely, an exchange rate favorable to Euro zone pulp producers and declining or stagnant demand in practically all paper grades, including tissue. Long fiber supply, main Scandinavian production, increased because integrated paper mills that stopped its paper production due to low demand and prices, continued its pulp production, offering these additional amounts in the market. For this reason long fiber pulp prices have been under pressure, leading to prices below those for short fiber, a situation not experienced in the last several years. Most part of short fiber is imported to the Euro zone, so there are no relevant short fiber producers with costs in Euros that leverage the Euro-US Dollar exchange rate as a sales tool.

In North America the printing and writing paper demand decreased, and production for specialty paper was replaced for imports, while tissue paper demand grows moderately. The market is stable but follows global price trends.

Latin America is the region with best prices and in the current situation the gap is above 10%, however, it is still a small market that may not shift much its volume.

Normal production during the quarter. There was scheduled shutdowns for maintenance plant, plants Constitution and Licancel. In the case of plant constitution lasted a few days longer than scheduled and plant Valdivia had a small decline in June.

Sawn Timber Division

Compared to the U.S. $188.8 million sold during the first quarter of 2012, sawn timber sales decreased by 6.9% during the second quarter of the year, reaching sales of U.S. $175.8 million. This decrease was mainly due to lower average prices and volume sales of 5.1% and 1.9% respectively.

When compared with the same period of 2011, sawn timber and remanufactured wood products sales decreased by 5.3% or U.S.$ 9.9 million during the second quarter of 2012, mainly due to an decrease in average prices of 1.5% and lower sales volume of 3.8%.

The real estate and construction markets in the United Sates have shown a positive upward trend during the second quarter of 2012. In June, the housing starts index reached 760,000 units per year, that is, a 6.9% increase compared to May. Current construction levels, however, continue to be low when compared to the historical ten year average. During the second quarter of 2012 the sales price of moldings improved when compared to the first quarter of this year.

Panels Division

Panel’s sales (including energy sales and consolidation of Moncure) reached U.S.$ 299.7 million in the second quarter of this year, a decrease of 1.6% when compared to the U.S.$ 304.5 million obtained in the first quarter of 2012. Compared with the previous quarter, prices remained relatively stable with a decrease of 0.3%. Without considering volume sales of our new Moncure unit, sales volume decreased 5.5% mainly explained by lower sales of plywood as a result of the Nueva Aldea fire, and particleboard due to the Zarate mill stoppage in May.

Compared with the same quarter of 2011, sales were 12.9% lower. This decrease in sales can be explained by a 26.2% decrease in volume sales (without considering volume sales of Moncure) and a decrease of 1.5% on average prices. This is mainly explained by a decrease of 46.0% in plywood volume sales to end clients, respect to the same period of 2011, mainly caused by the Nueva Aldea fire in January.

On the other hand, our MDF moldings products had an increase of 14.3% in volume sales comparing with the first quarter of 2012, that is greatly explained by an increase in sales to the USA.

Particleboard panels sales volume had a decrease of 40.7% compared to the same period of 2011, mainly caused by operational issues at our Zarate mill in Argentina and the closure of our Curitiba mill in Brazil.

Hardboard panels sales volume stood at similar levels compared to the second quarter 2011. The strong demand for hardboard products was contrasted by a limited world supply, which is causing a price increase with respect to last year.

Net cash flow for the period

     154,658        (324,683
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

We had a positive operating cash flow of U.S.$ 194 million for the current period compared to U.S.$ 347 million for the same period last year. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in payments for income tax and an increase in payments to suppliers and employees, partially offset by the increase in collection from customers and in the collection of insurance payments.

Cash flow from financing activities had a positive balance of U.S.$ 466 million in the current period, compared to a negative balance of U.S.$ 214 million for the same period in 2011. This variation resulted from the issuance of bonds in the amount of U.S.$ 733 million during the current period.

The investment cash flow, at the end of the current period, decreased U.S.$ 506 million (U.S.$ 457 million in 2011), mainly due to an increase in capital contributions, and higher payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment in 2012, partially offset by loan collections from related companies.

5. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of June 30, 2012, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 89.5%, which it believes is consistent with industry standards. The Company does not engage in futures against variations in the selling prices of pulp and forest products because it believes that risks resulting from price variations are limited, in large part because the Company maintains one of the lowest cost structures in the industry.

The Company and most of its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Both the accounts receivable and most financial liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars or are covered by an exchange rate swap, as well as most of their revenues. As a result, exposure to changes in the exchange rate has decreased significantly.

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

The issuance of these consolidated interim financial statements for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2012, was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in Extraordinary Session N° 474 of August 28, 2012.

Functional and Reporting Currency

Arauco has defined the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency, as most of the Company’s operations are a result of exports, and its costs to a large extent are related to or index-linked to the U.S. Dollar.

For the pulp segment, most of the sales operations are exports, and the costs are related mainly to plantation costs, which are settled in U.S. Dollars.

For the sawmill and panel segments, although total sales include a mix of domestic sales and exports, the prices for the products are established in U.S. Dollars, as is also the case for the cost structure of the related raw materials.

Although the costs of labor and services are generally billed and paid in local currency, these costs are not as significant as the costs of raw materials and depreciation of equipment, which are driven mainly by global conditions and therefore, influenced mostly by the U.S. Dollar.

The financial information included herein is presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars.

Additional Information Relevant to the Understanding of the Financial Statements

The company Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A. qualify as Special Purpose Entities. These entities are considered to be controlled by Arauco, which is determined, by the fact that they maintain exclusive contracts with Arauco for wood provision, forward purchase of land and forest administration. Consequently, the financial information of these companies is consolidated with the financial information of the Company and is included in these consolidated financial statements of Arauco.

Compliance and Adoption of IFRS

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of Arauco include the Balance Sheet, Statement of Income, Comprehensive Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Net Equity and Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

This presentation is required to give a faithful representation of the effects of transactions, as well as other events and conditions, according to the definitions and criteria established within the conceptual framework of IFRS for the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2012 were prepared in accordance with Arauco’s accounting policies, uniformly applied to all items in these consolidated interim financial statements.

 

a) Basis for Presentation of financial statements

The actual Consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared according to international basis of financial information issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they represent the integral, explicit and unreserved adoption of the mentioned international standards.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of biological assets, financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make subjective estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, though actual results and timing could differ from the estimates. Management believes that the accounting policies below take into account those matters that require the exercise of judgment, but acknowledge that different judgments could result in substantially different results.

- Property, Plant and Equipment

In a business acquisition, management prepares avaluation of the acquired fixed assets and their useful lives based on a report issued by a third party expert.

The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. The recoverable amount of an asset is estimated as the higher of fair value less the cost to sell and the value in use, with an impairment charge being recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The value in use is calculated using a discounted cash flow model, which is most sensitive to the discount rate as well as the expected future cash inflows.

Sensitivity analysis associated to the estimated useful lifes are disclosed in Note 7.

- Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. Arauco uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

Detailed financial information of Fair Value of Financial Instruments and sensitivity analysis are presented in Note 23.

-Biological Assets

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which mean that the fair value of biological assets is calculated using cash flows from continuing operations on a discounted basis, on our sustainable forest management plans and the estimated growth of forests.

These discounted cash flows require estimates in growth, harvest, sales prices and costs. It is therefore important that management make appropriate estimates of future levels and trends for sales and costs, as well as conduct regular surveys of the forests to establish the volumes of wood available for harvesting and their current growth rates. The main considerations used to calculate the valuation of forest plantations are presented in Note 20 including sensitivity analysis.

-Lawsuits and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain ongoing lawsuits. Future effects on Arauco’s financial condition resulting from these lawsuits are estimated by the management of the Company, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco reserves appropriate contingency estimates on each balance sheet and/or upon each substantial modification to an underlying cause of any such litigation, which decisions are based on the reports of its legal advisors. Detailed lawsuits information is presented in Note 18.

 

c) Consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, which usually requires holding shares with more than one half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The intercompany transactions and unrealized earnings from subsidiary operations have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest is recognized in the equity balance.

The consolidated interim financial statements for the periods from January 1 to June 30, 2012 and 2011, include subsidiary balances shown in Note 13 and balances of the Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío, and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A., both of which qualify as Special Purpose Entities.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries report statutory financial statements in Brazilian Reales and Chilean Pesos, their main functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, they have been translated as indicated in Note 1 (e) (ii).

Accounting policies for subsidiaries will be adjusted if necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Arauco. Non-controlling interest is presented as a separate component of equity.

All intercompany transactions, accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany unrealized income are eliminated.

 

d) Segments

Arauco has defined its operating segments according to its business areas, which are defined by products and services sold to customers. This is consistent with the management, resource allocation and performance assessment made by key personnel responsible for making relevant decisions related to the Company’s operation. The Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Managing Directors of each segment are responsible for these decisions.

In line with the above, the Company established operating segments according to the following business units:

 

   

Pulp

 

   

Panels

 

   

Sawn Timber

 

   

Forestry

Detailed financial information by segment is presented in Note 24.

 

e) Functional currency

(i) Functional currency

Arauco’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is Arauco’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

 

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

 

 

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

 

 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the transaction date. Gains and losses on foreign currency resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the conversion at the closing exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

 

f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-in-hand, deposits held on call at banks and other liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.

 

g) Financial Instruments

(i) Financial assets-liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it was acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.

Derivatives are also classified as acquired for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and the obligation for these instruments is presented under Other Financial Liabilities within the Financial Statement.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, which is the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

The financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. They are subsequently recorded at fair value with the effect of the change in value recorded in income.

Swaps: These are valued using the discounted cash flow method at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the operation.

Forwards: These instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The forwards are recorded as assets when fair value is positive and, as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

The fair value of forward rate contracts is calculated by reference to differential of the existing interest rates between the rate agreed and the market interest rate deadlines.

Mutual Funds: Given their nature, they are recognized at fair value at the closing date for the period.

The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

The fair value of forward contracts of rates is calculated referring to the differential rate between the agreed rate and the market rate at the closing date.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade receivables and other receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method.

Repurchased Agreements: These are valued at the initial cost of the investment plus accrued interest investment cost of the short term instrument.

(iii) Financial liabilities valued at amortized cost

Loans, bond obligations and liabilities of a similar nature are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, they are stated at amortized cost and any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs), and redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the life of the debt according to the effective interest rate method.

Financial obligations are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The fair value estimate of bank obligations is determined using specific valuation techniques using cash flow discounted at rates consistent with the risk of the operation, while bonds are valued at market price.

(iv) Creditors and other payables

These instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

(v) Hedging instruments

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the Comprehensive Income Statement. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Income Statement within Other Operating Income by activity or Operating Expenses by activity, respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when it ceases to meet the criteria to be recognized through the hedge accounting treatment, any cumulative gain or loss in equity at that time recognized in the Income Statement. When a possible transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is immediately transferred to the Income Statement.

These financial instruments are measured using the discount cash flow method at a rate consistent with the operational risk using the information given by each bank as counterparty.

 

h) Inventories

Inventories are reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general manufacturing expenses, excluding interest expenses.

Initial costs of harvested wood are determined at fair value less cost of sale at the point of harvest.

Biological assets are transferred to inventories when forests are harvested.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When market conditions result in the manufacturing costs of a product exceeding its net realizable value, a valuation allowance is made. This provision also includes obsolescence amounts resulting from slow moving inventories and technical obsolescence.

Replacement parts that will be consumed in less than a period of 12 months, are presented in Inventories and record as an expense within the period consumed.

 

i) Assets held for sale

Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of book and fair value, less costs for sale. Assets are classified in this line when the book value may be recovered through a sale transaction that is highly likely to be carried out. Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and should have initiated an active program to find a buyer and complete the plan. Likewise, management must also expect that the sale will be qualified for full recognition within one year following the date of its classification, except for the existence of facts or circumstances (beyond the entity control) that extend the period of sale beyond one year.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

 

j) Business Combinations

Arauco applies the purchase method to record a business combination. This method, sets that the acquisition cost is the fair value of assets delivered, the equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or committed at the date of exchange, plus all direct costs attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable acquired assets and liabilities as well as the contingencies committed to in business combinations are initially recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition, despite minority interest scope. Excess of acquisition cost over the Fair Value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than Fair Value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income.

The goodwill in a business combination is initially measured at the cost of the business combination less the interest of the company in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquisition. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill in a business combination is allocated as of the acquisition date to the cash generating unit of the group or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination without prejudice to whether other assets or liabilities of Arauco are assigned to those units or groups of units.

The transaction costs are treated as expenses when incurred.

Arauco measures the fair value of the acquired company in the business combination on a step by step basis, recognizing the effects of variation in the income statement.

 

k) Investments in associates and in joint ventures

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence but not control, generally holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates and in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Their book net equity is increased or decreased proportionately in the profit or loss and comprehensive income statement of the period as a result of adjustments of conversion arising from the financial statement conversion into other currencies. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss).

If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the associate acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement as Other income (loss).

These investments are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet together with Investments in associates and measured by using the equity method.

If any of these investments incurs negative equity as a result of legal or implicit obligations of its associate, or has made payments on behalf of its associate or joint venture, then it must recognize a liability by reducing the value of the investment to zero until it generates income that would reverse the negative equity previously generated due to the losses. Otherwise, a liability is not recognized but the value of the investment is left at zero.

 

l) Intangible assets

After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost, including any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be carried on a systematic basis over the asset’s useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, which is when it complies with all the necessary conditions to operate in the manner foreseen by the Company.

(i) Computer Software

Computer software licenses are capitalized in terms of the costs incurred to acquire them and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives.

(ii) Rights

This item includes water-rights, right of way and other acquired rights recognized at historical cost and have an unlimited useful life as the expected cash flow generating period is unpredictable. These rights are not amortized as they are perpetual and will not require renewal, but are subject to annual impairment tests.

 

m) Goodwill

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on annual basis.

The goodwill recorded in Arauco do Brasil S.A. subsidiary whose functional currency is the real, is converted to U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate. At the date of these financial statements, the currency conversion is the only movement that has the amount of goodwill.

 

n) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition.

Subsequent costs, such as improvements and replacement of components, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The value of the replaced part is capitalized as part of the property, plant & equipment, the remaining costs associated with repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement for the period in which the costs are incurred.

Arauco capitalizes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of adequate assets as part of the cost of those assets (see Note 12).

Asset depreciation is calculated by components using the straight-line method, considering any adjustments for impairment.

The useful life of property, plant and equipment is determined according to expected use of the assets.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis.

 

o) Leases

Fixed asset leases in which Arauco substantially holds all ownership risks and advantages are classified as Financial Leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

When assets are leased under a finance lease, the present value of lease payments are recognized as financial account receivables. Interest income, which is the difference between the gross receivable and the present value of such amount, is recognized as the capital’s financial performance.

Leases in which significant risks and rewards are not transferred to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

 

p) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are presented in the Balance Sheet at fair value. The forests are thus accounted for at fair value less estimated point-of sale costs at harvest, assuming that the fair value of these assets can be measured reliably.

The valuation of forest plantation assets is based on discounted cash flow models whereby the fair value of the biological assets is calculated using cash flows from continuous operations, which are discounted based on our sustainable forest management plans and the estimated growth of the forests. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block basis and for each type of tree.

The assessment of new plantations during the current year, is made at the least economic cost, which corresponds to the fair value to that date. After 12 months, the valuation methodology is as explained in the previous paragraph.

Forest plantations shown as current assets are those that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement within Other income by activity.

The Company holds fire insurance policies for its forestry plantations, which together with company resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

 

q) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted as of the balance sheet date that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable benefits will be available.

r) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a current legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. This amount is quantified and recognized with the best possible estimate at the end of each period.

 

s) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized after Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco retains neither a continuing right to dispose of the goods, nor effective control of those goods; this means that generally revenues are recorded upon delivery of goods to customers in accordance with agreed terms of delivery.

(i) Policy on Revenue recognition from the Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when an Arauco entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when Arauco cannot influence the management of the sold goods and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

Sales are recognized in terms of the arranged price stated in the sales contract, net of volume discounts and estimated refunds at the date of the sale. Volume discounts are evaluated in terms of estimated annual purchases. There is no significant financing component given that receivables for sales are collected within a low average time period, which is in line with market practices.

(ii) Policy on Revenue recognition from Rendering of Services

Arauco, mainly provides power supply services which are trade in the spot market of the Interconnected Central System. According current laws, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by Load Economical Dispatch Center of the Interconnected Central System (CDEC-SIC) and are generally recognized in the period in which the services are provided.

Electrical energy is generated as a by-product of the pulp process and is a complementary business to it, which at first is supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and the surplus is sold to the central grid.

Arauco provides other services such as port and pest control whose incomes are derived from fixed price service contracts, generally recognized during the period of the service contract on a straight-line basis throughout the duration of the contract.

Segment revenues mentioned in Note 24 comply with the conditions indicated above.

Revenues from inter-segment sales (arising from prices similar to market prices) are eliminated in the consolidated interim financial statements.

t) Minimum dividend

Article No. 79 of the Private Limited Companies Law of Chile provides that, unless otherwise unanimously agreed or adopted by the shareholders, a dividend must be distributed annually in cash to shareholders in proportion to their shares or in the proportion established by the statutes for preferred shares, if any, in the amount of at least 30% of net income for the current year, except where necessary to absorb accumulated losses from prior years.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Arauco resolved to maintain annual dividends at 40% of net distributable income, including a provisional dividend share distribution at year-end. Dividends payable are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period they are declared and approved by the Company’s shareholders or when configuring the corresponding obligation on the basis of existing legislation or distribution policies established by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The interim and final dividends are recorded in equity upon their approval by the relevant groups, which include the Company’s Board and the shareholders.

The amount of these dividends is presented in this consolidated financial statement under Other non-current Financial Liabilities.

Dividends paid do not affect taxes.

 

u) Impairment

Non-financial Assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is measured whenever there is an indication that the asset may have suffered deterioration of its value. Among the factors to consider as evidence of impairment are the diminution in market value of assets, significant changes in the technological environment, obsolescence or physical impairment of assets and changes in the way the asset is used or expected to be used (which could involve its disuse). Arauco evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of the factors above mentioned.

For this evaluation, assets are grouped into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently.

The goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually or whenever circumstances indicate. The recoverable amount of an asset is estimated as the higher of net selling price and value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an extent higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined and recognized in prior years. For goodwill, however, a recognized impairment loss is not reversed.

For the purposes of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the level lowest for which there are identifiable cash flows separately for each unit generating cash. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which had suffered an impairment are reviewed at each balance sheet date if have occurred possible reversal of the loss.

“Cash-generating units” are the smallest identifiable groups of assets whose use generates continuous funds largely independent of those produced by the use of other assets or groups of assets.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The distribution is made between cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the business combination that resulted in the goodwill.

Financial Assets

At the end of each period, an evaluation is performed in order to measure the existence of any objective evidence that assets or a group of financial assets have been adversely affected. Impairment effects will be recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement only if there is objective evidence that one or more events will occur after initial recognition of financial asset impairment and if these events will affect associated future cash flows.

The provision for doubtful trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original terms of sale. Provisions are made when the client is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and are written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of debt in a reasonable time.

The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the book value of assets and the current value of estimated future cash flows. The asset value will be presented net of the loss recognized directly in income. If the impairment loss decreases in later periods, it is reversed either directly or by adjusting the provision for doubtful accounts, with effect in income.

 

v) Employee Benefits

The Company has severance payment obligations for voluntary cessation services. These are paid to certain workers that have more than 5 years seniority within the Company in accordance with conditions established within collective or individual contracts.

This is an estimate of the years of service-based severance payments to be recognized as a future termination payment liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability.

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance payments for years of service are the employee turnover, salary increases and life expectancy of the workers included in this benefit.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in income in the year they are incurred.

These obligations are treated as post-employment benefits in accordance with current standards.

As of June 30, 2012, a cost of sales of inventories amounted to ThU.S.$ 1,465,208 (ThU.S.$ 1,374,583 as of June 30, 2011).

In order to allow the registered inventories to net realizable value, at June 30, 2012, a reduction of inventories has been recognized, related to allowance of obsolescence as of ThU.S.$611 (ThU.S.$ 2,957 as of December 31, 2011) and impaired inventories of ThU.S.$20,244 (ThU.S.$ 315 as of December 31, 2011). This reduction of inventory is mainly a result of the fire on Panels division that occurred in January 2012 in the forestry and industrial complex Nueva Aldea.

The obsolescence provision is calculated according to the historical information and the age of the inventories.

As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, no inventories have been pledged as collateral or guarantees.

Agricultural Products

Agricultural Products relate mainly to forestry products that are intended for sale pertaining to the operation and are valued at fair value at the closing period. These are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under Inventories in the Raw Material item.

 

NOTE 4. CASH FLOW STATEMENT

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash flow, bank account balances, fixed term deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds. They are short-term investments that are readily convertible into cash, and are subject to an immaterial change in value.

The objective of fixed term deposits is to maximize earnings on short-term cash flow surpluses. This instrument is authorized by Arauco’s Investment Policy, which establishes a mandate that allows investments in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity period of less than ninety days.

Arauco invests in local mutual funds to maximize the profitability of cash flow surpluses in Chilean Pesos, or in international mutual funds in foreign currencies such as U.S. Dollars or Euros. These instruments are acceptable under Arauco’s Investment Policy.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no significant amounts of cash on hand.

NOTE 6. TAXES

The tax rate applicable to the major companies in which Arauco participates is 20% in Chile, 35% in Argentina and 34% in Brazil.

On July 30, 2010 Law No. 20,455 for national reconstruction financing was published in the Chilean Official Gazette (Diario Oficial de Chile). One of the most important changes was the increase in First Category Taxes for revenues received and /or accrued during commercial years 2011 and 2012, which increased rates of 20% and 18.5%, respectively.

For the fiscal year 2010, the change in tax rates caused an adjustment to the assets and liabilities accounts for deferred taxes according to the profile projected for temporary reverse differences in tax losses benefits and in other events that create differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Deferred Tax Assets Total

     137,343         135,890   

As of the date of the present financial statement, some of Arauco’s subsidiaries present tax losses of ThU.S.$ 345,087 (ThU.S.$ 343,311 as of December 31, 2011) which are mainly due to operational and financial losses.

Arauco believes that the projections of future earnings in subsidiaries that have generated tax losses will allow the recovery of these assets.

The effect of deferred taxes related to financial hedging instruments corresponds to a payment of ThU.S.$ 1,522 as of June 30, 2012 (payment of ThU.S.$ 1,043 as of June 30, 2011), which is presented under Hedge reserves in the Statement of Changes in Net Equity.

From the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities listed in the above tables, approximately ThU.S.$ 17,071 and ThU.S.$ 108,344 respectively, will be used in a period of 12 months.

Arauco does not offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities since there is no legal right to offset amounts recognized in these items that correspond to different fiscal jurisdictions.

Description of Property, Plant and Equipment Pledged as Guarantee

Regarding Forestal Río Grande S.A, an affiliate of Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío, a special purpose entity, we note that in October 2006, first and second degree mortgages were executed in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Arauco, respectively, which prohibited the sale of any property currently belonging to the aforementioned special purpose entity, in order to ensure fulfillment of payments to Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío.

In September 2007, Forestal Río Grande S.A acquired real estate in Yungay, located in Chile’s Region VIII, for which the company executed a first mortgage with prohibition to sell and encumber in favor of, among others, JPMorgan. Similarly, a second mortgage with prohibition to sell and encumber was executed in favor of Arauco.

In April 2012, Arauco sold a 50% interest to Mohwak Unilin International B.V. at ThR$ 12,500 (ThU.S.$ 6,229 at June 30, 2012), becoming a joint venture. This operation had no effect on income. This company is devoted to manufacturing, processing, industrialization and selling of wood laminate floors.

As of June 30, 2012, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, has made contributions to the Uruguayan companies that qualify as a joint venture, Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., for a total of ThU.S.$ 79,231 (ThU.S.$ 177,397 as of December 31, 2011), with the Arauco Group holding a stake of 50% in the joint venture. This operation has no effects in Arauco’s consolidated interim financial statements.

The above mentioned contributions are being invested in the project known as “Montes del Plata”, in order to build a cutting edge cellulose production plant, with a guaranteed capacity of 1.3 million tons per year, a port and an energy generation unit utilizing renewable resources, which will be located at the town of Punta Pereira, department of Colonia, Uruguay.

Investments in Uruguay

The main assets acquired from Ence during the year 2009 are: 130,000 hectares of land of which 73,000 hectares are forestry plantations; 6,000 hectares under agreements with third parties; one industrial site, the necessary environmental permits for the construction of a pulp mill; a river terminal; one chip producing mill, and one nursery.

All these assets were added to the land and plantations that Stora Enso and Arauco already control through a joint venture in Uruguay. With these additions, the joint venture currently maintains forestry equity of approximately 267 thousand hectares of land, of which 155 thousand hectares are planted.

The investments in Uruguay mentioned above qualify as joint ventures because of existing contracts that stipulate that both Arauco and Stora Enso maintain joint control of such investments.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% share in Eka Chile S.A. (“Eka”), a company that sells sodium chlorate to cellulose plants in Chile. A contractual agreement in effect between Arauco and this company has permitted Arauco and Eka to initiate certain joint venture activities.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

At the end of this accounting period, we had the following information:

Effects from the economic crisis

Since the beginning of 2009, the complicated market condition affected the Bosseti sawmill operation located in Argentina and the Company decided to shut it down in December 2010 and to adapt its operational structure to the reality of the business, converting the operation and using its land and buildings as a logistics center. At the end of 2010, the Company registered ThU.S.$2,000 as impairment provision related to machinery and installations, which at the end of June 30, 2012, after discounting the provision, have a value of ThU.S.$1,400 (ThU.S.$ 1,600 as of December 31, 2011). To date, the Company is working on classification and management of these assets in order to have the approval of the administration for its subsequent sale.

The recoverable value of the permanently closed facilities was determined based on sales estimates and residual value, making the corresponding provision in the event that the recoverable value is less than the book value. These estimates were made by both external and internal evaluators.

Effects of the fire

On January 2, 2012, Paneles Arauco S.A.’s industrial facilities located at Itata highway, km. 21, were materially affected as a result of forest fires that affected the Province of Ñuble. This plant had a production capacity of 450 thousand cubic meters of panels per year.

The fire completely destroyed the machinery, equipment and facilities of the panel processing area, as well as administration buildings and storage rooms. It also affected the operations of the biomass energy generation plant. Operations were reinitiated on January 6, 2012.

Paneles Arauco S.A., as a subsidiary of Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., has insurance covering the damages resulting from the fire. The policies generally cover assets, among which are the plants, industrial and non-industrial facilities, equipment, machinery, inventories, as well as losses due to business interruption.

Related expenses to the damage produced by the fire were recognized when the relevant events occurred, but accounts receivable from insurance companies related to these expenses, in addition to the closure of the plant as a result of the fire, are recognized only when there was sufficient supporting documentation and/or at the time of the receipt of the cash flows.

Regarding this claim, the financial statements as of June 30, 2012 include the following:

 

   

In Trade and other receivables, the amount of ThU.S.$ 56,803 relating to compensation not yet received associated with physical damage to Property, plant and equipment and Inventories.

 

   

In Property, plant and equipment, a provision of ThU.S$ 68,763 for physical damage.

 

   

In Inventories, the amount of ThU.S.$ 19,841 was written off.

In April 2012, Arauco received the total amount of ThU.S.$ 50,000, as advance payment of compensation. Regarding this, it has been estimated that ThU.S.$ 15,000 relates to losses due to stoppage and ThU.S.$ 35,000 to physical damage.

Due to the complexity and magnitude of the claim, to date the liquidation process has not yet been completed.

Other effects

In December 2011, particle board (PBO) lines of Curitiba Plant (Brazil) were shut down due to the high cost of maintenance, with the consequential losses that this generated. The company registered ThU.S.$6,088 as impairment provision related to machinery and equipments.

Cash-Generating Unit with Impaired Assets

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following impairment provisions related to Cash-Generating Units existed:

At the date of these financial statements, most of the associated impairment provision relating to physical damage of property, plant and equipment as a result of the earthquake and tsunami has been reversed. The amount of the existing provision is referred to assets that are in the process of repair and / or replacement, the majority concluded at the year end of 2011.

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that generate such goodwill. The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brazil (formerly Tafisa) was assigned to the Pien panel segment plant. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on calculations of its value in use. For this calculation we used the projected cash flows based on the operational plan approved by the management covering a period of 10 years, applying a discount rate of 10%, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the panel segment in Brazil. As of June 30, 2012 this goodwill amounted to ThU.S.$ 52,217 (ThU.S.$ 56,267 at December 31, 2011). for a total of goodwill of ThU.S 55,071. The variation of this goodwill from Brasil is due only to the conversion adjustment to Real, which is the functional currency for the subsidiaries in Brazil. Therefore, there has been no impairment provision.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Lawsuits or other Legal Proceedings

The contingent liabilities that Arauco deems appropriate to disclose are as follows:

1. (i)On October 8, 2007, the Federal Administration of Public Income (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos) (“AFIP”) initiated an ex oficio proceeding against the Company’s Argentine affiliate Alto Paraná S.A. (“APSA”) questioning whether APSA erred in deducting from its income tax liability certain expenses, interest payments and exchange rate differences generated by Private Negotiable Obligations which were issued by APSA in 2001 and paid in 2007.

On November 20, 2007, APSA submitted a counterclaim to the claims presented by AFIP, completely rejecting all of AFIP’s allegations and asserting legal arguments that justify its actions in the determination of its tax burden.

On December 14, 2007, AFIP notified APSA that its counterclaim had been dismissed, thus issuing an ex-oficio ruling and ordering the payment, within 15 working days, of the calculated income tax difference for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years of $417,908,207 argentine pesos (ThU.S. $ 92,315 at June 30, 2012), including capital, compensatory interest, and fines for omission.

On February 11, 2008, APSA appealed the aforementioned ruling before the National Tax Court (Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación) (“TFN”).

On February 8, 2010, APSA was notified of TFN’s ruling, which confirmed the ruling issued by AFIP, with court expenses, based on arguments different from those that justified AFIP’s ex-oficio decision. This decision by the TFN extinguished the administrative process. As a result, the Company’s only remaining option was to pursue a remedy before the Contentious Administrative Matters Federal Appeals Court (Cámara de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal) (“CACAF”) and, subsequently, the National Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación).

On February 15, 2010, APSA appealed before the CACAF, making all necessary submissions with the purpose of attaining a revocation of the contested decision. APSA paid litigation fees (tasa de justicia) in the amount of $5,886,053 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 1,302 at June 30, 2012).

On March 18, 2010, the CACAF, issued a court decree in which it ordered the AFIP to refrain from requesting the blocking of preventive interim relief measures, administratively demanding payment, issuing debt invoices, or initiating judicial collection actions, including seizure of property and other enforcement measures, against APSA until CACAF reaches a decision on APSA’s request for an injunction.

On May 13, 2010 the CACAF decided to grant the injunction requested by APSA, ordering to suspend the enforcement of the AFIP resolution until the final decision on this matter. This injunction was granted by the CACAF subject to the granting of a corresponding bond. On May 19, 2010, APSA filed with the Appeal Court a surety policy issued by Zurich Argentina Cía. de Seguros S.A. On May 20, 2010, the CACAF asked APSA to specify the areas covered by the suretyship insurance. On May 28, 2010 APSA complied with this request and attached Endorsement No. 1 of the surety policy in favor of the CACAF – Trial Chamber I –

in the amount of $ 633,616,741 Argentine pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 139,964 as of June 30, 2012), which includes initial capital, plus adjustments and interests to the date of the bond. On June 2, 2010 the CACAF accepted this surety filed by APSA and sent notice to AFIP of the injunction granted. On June 4, 2010 the AFIP was notified of the ruling dated May 13, 2010, which is final since June 22, 2010.

In spite of the TFN’s ruling, the opinion issued by APSA’s external counsel continued to be that APSA has proceeded in a lawful manner in deducting the amount questioned by the State. External counsel maintains that there is a good chance that the TFN’s ruling will be overruled and that the AFIP’s ex-oficio decision will be rendered without effect. Due to the above, no provisions have been recognized for the periods in which the Negotiable Obligations were in force.

(ii)Within the course of this case’s proceedings, and particularly regarding payment of the litigation fees (tasa de justicia) before the TFN, on July 18, 2008, the Examining Officer ordered APSA to pay $ 10,447,705 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 2,311 at June 30, 2012) as payment of Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee) before the TFN. On August 14 2008, APSA filed a petition with the court requesting that this order be reconsidered, or in the alternative, rejected on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. APSA provided evidence that it had paid $ 1,634,914 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 361 at June 30, 2012), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Courtroom of the CACAF denied APSA’s appeal. On April 26, 2011 APSA filed an ordinary appeal against the latter decree before the Supreme Court of the Justice, which was granted on February, 3, 2011. On June 23, 2011 the brief with the ordinary appeal was filed before the Court. On July, 14, 2011 the AFIP answered the petition of this brief. On May 8th, 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that the ordinary remedy was wrongly admitted, since the appealed sentence was not a final ruling.

The case file was returned to Chamber I of the National Appeals Court of Adversarial Administrative Matters. On June 15th, 2012, APSA requested that the case be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were resolved, a request which was rejected by the Court on June 25th, 2012. On July 2nd, APSA filed a motion to reconsider, requesting that such ruling be rendered ineffective and the extraordinary proceeding be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were ruled on, also expressing that it still maintained its interest in the extraordinary remedy that was submitted.

Based on their analysis of the grounds underlying the appeal, APSA’s counsel has an optimistic view of the case.

2. With regard to the Valdivia Mill, on April 27, 2005, the National Defense Council (Consejo de Defensa del Estado) filed a civil lawsuit against the Company for reparation of environmental harm and indemnification before the First Civil Court of Valdivia (Primer Juzgado Civil de Valdivia) (Rol 746-2005).

3. The Company filed its response, arguing that it is not responsible for the environmental damages and therefore that the indemnification payments as well as the alleged reparation, are inadmissible. Currently, expert reports have already been submitted, most of which were against the Company’s position. On September 5th, 2011, objections were submitted against said expert reports. The Court carried out a personal examination of the site on March 13, 14 and 15 of 2012. At the same time, ancillary proceedings are still pending in respect of the technical reports filed by the company in support of its objections against the expert reports. On August 25, 2005, the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos

(the “Chilean IRS”) issued tax calculations No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005 objecting to certain capital reduction transactions effected by Arauco on April 16, 2001 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested reimbursement from the Company for amounts returned to it in respect of certain claimed tax losses. On November 7, 2005, the Company requested a Review of the Supervision Action (Revisión de la Actuación Fiscalizadora, or “RAF”), which is an administrative review of the tax action brought by the Chilean IRS, and filed a claim disputing the abovementioned tax calculations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, which resolution, however, only partially sustained the Company’s request. In response, the Company filed an additional complaint with regard to the portion of the RAF that was not granted by the administrative review. On February 19, 2010, the Court acknowledged receipt of the Company’s request. Subsequently, the tax authority issued a report and the Company commented on such report. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the investigation in respect of this complaint is pending.

Considering that the position of the Company is supported by solid legal arguments, there is a reasonable likelihood of a favorable outcome for the Company.

4. Regarding Licancel plant, on June 22, 2011 the Company was notified of civil claim for compensation of prejudice for an alleged tort liability, filed by twelve fishermen of the Mataquito river before the Court of First Instance, Guarantee and Family of Licantén under Docket number 73-2011, arising out of the dead fish allegedly found in the malaquito river on June 5, 2007. The plaintiffs seek to be compensated for alleged damages that they have suffered from the aforementioned event, including lost profits, harm and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. On January 30, 2011 the plaintiffs requested the issuance of an order to produce evidence (auto de prueba). On January 2, 2012, the court provided “Documents-auto”. The case is pending issuance of the order to produce evidence.

5. On April 14, 2009, Forestal Celco S.A. was notified of a civil lawsuit filed by Mario Felipe Rojas Sepúlveda on behalf of Víctor Adrián Gavilán Villarroel against Cooperativa Eléctrica de Chillán Limitada and against Forestal Celco S.A. The lawsuit aims to make both companies jointly and severally liable for compensation of alleged material damages suffered as a result of a fire that occurred on January 12, 2007 on the El Tablón county property, which belongs to Forestal Celco S.A.

On April 30, 2009 Forestal Celco S.A. filed objections pointing to defects in the demand. The plaintiff rectified the defects, and the Company replied to the demand. On March 8, 2011 the Court issued the legal judgment of first instance rejecting the claim. On March 21, 2011, the plaintiff appealed against the first instance verdict.

7. On September 26, 2005, in proceedings numbered 48,679-2006 of the Civil Court of Constitución, Forestal Celco S.A. submitted a claim against Forestal Constitución Ltda. and Vitelia Morán Sepúlveda and other 7 natural persons, with the goal of obtaining a ruling that acknowledges its sole ownership over the Lierecillo estate (1,126 hectares), formed by various property registrations, also seeking that the defendants be sentenced to jointly and severally pay $ 20,000,000 as well as a damage compensation for having harvested a portion of the aforementioned estate. On April 23, 2006, Mr. Adolfo Numi Velasco, acting on behalf of all the aforementioned natural persons, answered the claim requesting its rejection, arguing that his clients are the sole owners of the estate named “El Macaco”, also submitting a counterclaim with the purpose of demanding that Forestal Celco S.A. return the “El Macaco” estate, of 162.7 hectares, plus a damage compensation for the resulting damages, loss of profit and moral damage. On June 29, 2009, a first instance ruling was issued in favor of Forestal Celco S.A’s claim, only with regards to the declaration of ownership, rejecting all other aspects of that claim as well as the corresponding counterclaim. Currently, the case is being reviewed by the Court of Appeals of Talca, under court registration number 267-2012, for a ruling regarding the appeal submitted by the defendant, who is also a counterclaiming plaintiff.

8. On September 23, 2008, 28 workers submitted a lawsuit against their employer, Gama Services (which rendered services for Bosques Arauco S.A. subsidiary of Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.), and Bosques Arauco S.A., for an alleged joint and several liability, requesting that the termination of their labor agreements be declared unjustified, demanding for the full payment of their social security and health benefits as well as the payment of severance for their years of service, dismissal notice, vacations, remunerations and extra hours. Said lawsuit was submitted before the 5th Labor Court of Santiago, under Docket number 780-2008, with an undetermined claimed amount.

On January 4, 2011, Bosques Arauco S.A. received the notice of the definitive first instance ruling against Gama Services, ordering the payment of all claimed compensations, including remuneration and social security and health benefits, until the validation of the dismissal or until the ruling has been executed. Simultaneously, the ruling condemns jointly and severally to the Company to pay various compensations –excluded social security payments that are calculated until the day of the dismissal. The lawsuit was concluded with a favorable decision in favor of the plaintiff.

9. On November 17, 2003, Bosques Arauco S.A., an affiliate of Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., was notified of a property restitution claim brought by Ms. Celmira Maria Curin Tromo, whom requested the restitution of certain real estate, its profits and damages in a Special Indigenous Lawsuit, claiming that she is the sole and exclusive owner of the 5.5 hectares of land, which has allegedly been exploited by Bosques Arauco S.A., in blatant disregard of her property interest. On June 6, 2008, the first instance decision was issued, denying the claim. The decision was appealed and the Ilustrísima Corte de Apelaciones de Temuco (High Court of Appeals of Temuco) overturned the decision on January 6, 2009, finding in favor of the plaintiff with regard to every portion of the claim and ordering the restitution of the land, along with all profits and damages caused by Bosques Arauco S.A. to the land, the assessment of which was deferred to the decision’s execution phase.

On October 28, 2009, the plaintiff requested the execution of the ruling with notice to the defendant. Aside from the restitution of the property and its products, and compensation for the alleged moral harm personally experienced for her. After being notified of the request, Bosques Arauco S.A., in turn, requested that this request be nullified on the ground that the alleged harm and suffering was not an issue in the judicial proceedings and, therefore no judgment on a condemn in that sense.

An expert determined that there is not any land adjoining called “Fundo Roma”, finding Hacienda Canteras perimeter closed and demarcated for many years. Currently, the process is in a fault condition, awaiting that the expert appointed by the Court submits his/her report. Within the context of these same proceedings, on December, 2010, the Court issued a cautionary injunctive measure prohibiting the execution of acts or agreements regarding the lumber and forest products located within “Fundo Roma”. On April 3. 2012, the court issued a decision rejecting the claim, the ruling was appealed by the plaintiff and third adjuvant (Banco del Desarrollo).

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Arauco’s biological assets are its forestry plantations of mainly radiata and taeda pine and a lesser degree of eucalyptus. The total plantation is distributed in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 936 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 385 thousand hectares are native forest, 152 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 78 thousand hectares will be planted.

As of June 30, 2012, the logs production volume totaled 9.1 million cubic meters (9.8 million cubic meters as of June 30, 2011).

The main considerations in determining the fair value of biological assets include the following:

 

 

Arauco uses the discounted future cash flows of its forest plantations, which are based on a harvest projection date for all existing plantations.

 

 

Current forest equity is projected assuming that total volume does not decrease and a minimum demand equal to the current supply demand.

 

 

Future plantations are not considered.

 

 

The harvest of forest plantations supplies raw material for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco is assured of having high quality timber for each of its products.

 

 

Cash flows are determined in terms of harvest and expected sale of forestry products, associated with the demand from the Company’s owned industrial centers and sales to third parties at market prices. Sales margin is also considered in the valuation of the different products that are harvested in the forest. Any changes in the value of the plantations, in accordance with the criteria previously described, are accounted for in the current financial year’s income statement, pursuant to IAS 41. These changes are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income under Other income by activity, and as of June 30, 2012 amounted to ThU.S.$ 77,430 (ThU.S.$ 114,969 as of June 30, 2011). Additionally, cost of sales include a higher cost of ThU.S.$ 97,967 as of June 30, 2012 (ThU.S.$ 117,951 as of June 30, 2011) resulting from the difference between the cost of wood at fair value versus actual cost incurred.

 

 

Forests are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

 

 

The discount rates used are: in Chile 8%, in Argentina 12% and in Brazil 8%.

 

 

It is assumed that prices of harvested timber are constant in real terms based on market prices.

 

 

Cost expectations with respect to the lifetime of the forests are constant based on estimated costs included in the projections made by Arauco.

     -10         (392,541

Differences in the valuation of biological assets in the discount rate and the margins are recorded in the Income Statement under item Other Operating Income and Other Operating Expenses depending on whether this is profit or loss.

Forestry plantations classified as current assets correspond to those to be harvested within 12 months.

The Company holds fire insurance policies for its forestry plantations, which together with company resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

Uruguay

Arauco owns biological assets in Uruguay through a joint venture in partnership with Stora Enso, which are presented in these consolidated financial statements under the equity method (see Note 16).

As of June 30, 2012, Arauco’s investment in Uruguay represented a total of 134 thousand hectares, of which 77 thousand hectares are allocated to plantations, 6 thousand hectares to native forest, 44 thousand hectares for other uses, and 6 thousand hectares for planting.

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

There is no forestry plantations pledged as security, except for those belonging to Forestal Río Grande S.A. (affiliate of Fondo de Inversiones Bio Bio, a special purpose entity). In October 2006, pledges without transfer and agreements not to prohibit sell and encumber were made in favor of JPMorgan and Arauco, for forests located on their own land.

As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of these forests reached ThU.S.$ 2,519 (ThU.S.$ 9,322 as of December 31, 2011).

Detail of Biological Assets with Restricted Ownership

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no biological assets with restricted ownership.

No significant grants have been received.

NOTE 21. ENVIRONMENT

Environment Management

For Arauco, sustainability means management strategy. This strategy incorporates values, commitments and standards, that together with the adoption of best practices as well as the use of the latest available technologies, seek to continuously improve the Company’s environmental management. It is the environmental department and each of its specialists that ensure these guidelines are met and are put in to practice in everyday company operations.

All of Arauco’s production units have certified environmental management systems, which reinforce the Company’s commitment to environmental performance and ensure the traceability of all raw materials used.

Arauco uses several supplies in its productive processes such as wood, chemical products, and water, etc., which in turn produce liquid and gas emissions. As a way to make the company’s environmental management more efficient, significant progress has been made to reduce consumption and emissions.

Environmental investments have been made related to the control of atmospheric emissions, process improvements, water and waste management, as well as effluent treatment, in order to improve the environmental performance of all of Arauco’s business units.

Fix Term Deposits and Resale Agreements: The objective of this instrument is to maximize short-term returns of cash. This instrument is authorized by Arauco’s Placement Policy, which establishes a mandate that allows investments in fixed income securities. In general, these instruments have a maturity period of less than ninety days.

Trades and Notes Receivable: These represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of the business, namely, operation activity or corporate purposes.

Other Debtors: These correspond to receivables from sales, services or loans that are not considered within the normal course of the business.

Trades receivables are presented at net value, which means that they are presented net of bad debt estimates. This provision is determined when there is evidence that Arauco will not receive the payments agreed to in the original sales terms. These provisions are carried out when a customer files for and commences legal bankruptcy proceedings or is in default of payments, or when Arauco has exhausted all debt collection options within a reasonable period. These include telephone calls, e-mails and debt collection letters.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet dated June 30, 2012, have been measured based on the methodologies provided in IAS 39. The methodologies applied for each financial instrument are classified according to their hierarchy as follows:

 

 

Level I: Values or quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

 

Level II: Information (“Inputs”) from other sources than the quoted values of Level I, but observable in the market for assets and liabilities either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

 

 

Level III: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

also forward of ThU.S.$ 1,517, which is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Other current financial assets. Their effects in the present period are presented in Equity as Other comprehensive results, net of exchange rate and deferred taxes.

Nature of Risk

Arauco is exposed to variations in cash flows due to exchange rate risk, mainly resulting from having assets in U.S. Dollars and liabilities in UF (obligations to the public), which causes mismatches that could affect operating results.

Information on Swaps Assigned as Hedging

Hedging Swaps H Series Bond

Hedging Objective

In March 2009, Arauco placed a bond for 2,000,000 UF on the Chilean market with an annual 2.25% coupon and semi-annual interest payments (in March and September). This bond is amortized at the end of the period, with a prepayment option from March 1, 2011. The maturity date is March 1, 2014.

In order to avoid exchange rate risk, Arauco made two cross-currency swap contracts listed below:

1.- Cross Currency Swap with Banco de Chile for 1,000,000 UF

With this swap, Arauco receives semi-annual interest payments (in March and September) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at a 2.25% annual rate, and pays semi-annual interest (in March and September) based on a notional amount of US$ 35,700,986.39 (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at a rate of 4.99%. The market value amounts to ThU.S.$ 6,944 as of June 30, 2012. The maturity date of this Swap is March 1, 2014.

2.- Cross Currency Swap with JPMorgan for 1,000,000 UF

With this contract, Arauco receives semi-annual interest payments (in March and September) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at an annual rate of 2.25%, and pays semi-annual interest (in March and September) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 35,281,193.28 (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at a rate of 4.94%. The market value amounts to ThU.S.$ 7,433 as of June 30, 2012. The maturity date of this Swap is March 1, 2014.

Through a test of effectiveness, Arauco is able to validate that the instrument is highly effective within an acceptable range for the Company to eliminate exchange rate uncertainty in commitments that are subject of such hedging.

Hedging Swaps F Series Bond

Hedging Objective

Arauco placed an F series bond in November 2008 and, March 2009 for an amount of 7,000,000 UF at an annual rate of 4.25% payable semi-annually. To mitigate the risk of exchange rate, Arauco made four cross-currency swap contracts that partially cover the bond amount fluctuations:

Contract 1: With this contract Arauco receives semi-annual interest payments (in April and October) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at an annual rate of 4.25%, and pays semi-annual interest (in April and October) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 38.38 million (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at a rate of 5.86%. The market value amounts to ThU.S.$ 4,631 as of June 30, 2012. This contract expires on October 30, 2014.

Hedging Swaps E Series Bond

Hedging Objective

In November 2008 Arauco placed a series E bond for a total UF 1,000,000, with a coupon of 4.00%, payable semi-annually. To mitigate the risk of exchange rate Arauco performed a cross-currency swap contract, which fully covered the amount of the bond issued:

Contract 1: Arauco receives semi-annual interests (In April and October) based on a notional amount of UF 1,000,000 at a rate of 4.21% annually, and pays semi-annual interests (In April and October) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 43.28 million (equivalent to UF 1,000,000 at the closing exchange rate of the contract) at a rate of 3.36%. The market value amounts to ThU.S.$ 1,300 as of June 30, 2012. This contract expires on October 30, 2014.

Through a test of effectiveness, Arauco can validate that the above-detailed hedging instruments are highly effective within an acceptable range for the Company to eliminate exchange rate uncertainty for commitments that are subject of such hedging.

Hedging Strategy

Given that Arauco holds a high percentage of assets in U.S. Dollars, the Company needs to reduce its exchange rate risk as it has obligations in adjustable-rate Pesos. The aim of this swap is to eliminate exchange rate uncertainty, exchanging cash flows from adjustable-rate Pesos obligations generated by the above mentioned bonds, with U.S. Dollar cash flows (Arauco’s functional currency) at a fixed exchange rate and determined at the date of the contract execution.

Hedging Swaps P Series Bond

Hedging Objective

Arauco placed an P series bond in April 2012 for an amount of 5,000,000 UF at an annual rate of 4.00% payable semi-annually. To mitigate the risk of exchange rate, Arauco made four cross-currency swap contracts that partially cover the bond amount fluctuations:

Contract 1: With this contract Arauco receives semi-annual interest payments (in May and November) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at an annual rate of 3.96%, and pays semi-annual interest (in May and November) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 46.47 million (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at a rate of 4.39%. The market value amounts to ThU.S.$ -273 as of June 30, 2012. This contract expires on November 15, 2021.

Information on Objectives, Policies and Processes applied by the Company regarding Capital Management

Arauco’s policies on capital management have the objective of:

The nature of external capital requirements is determined by the obligation to maintain certain financial ratios that ensure compliance with either bank loans or bond payments, which provide guidelines on the capital ranges required for compliance with these requirements. Arauco has fulfilled all its external requirements.

Risk Management

Arauco’s financial securities are exposed to several financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks). Arauco’s global risk management program focuses on financial market uncertainty and tries to minimize potential adverse effects on Arauco’s financial profitability.

Arauco’s financial risk management is overseen by the Financial Department. This department identifies, assesses and hedges financial risks in close collaboration with Arauco’s operational units.

Type of Risk: Credit Risk

Description

Credit risk refers to financial uncertainty at different time horizons concerning the fulfillment of obligations subscribed to by counterparties, at the time of exercising contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets on behalf of Arauco.

Explanation of Risk Exposure and How These Risks Arise

Arauco’s exposure to credit risk is directly related to each of its customer’s individual capacities to fulfill their contractual commitments, reflected in commercial debtor accounts. Furthermore, credit risk also arises for assets that are in the hands of third parties such as fixed term deposits, agreements and mutual funds.

With regard to trade accounts receivables, as a policy, Arauco holds insurance policies for open account sales. These are intended to cover export sales from the Company, Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A. and Forestal Arauco S.A., as well as local sales of Arauco Distribución S.A., Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Wood Inc., Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A. and Alto Paraná S.A. (and affiliates). Arauco works with Continental Credit Insurance Company (AA- Fitch Ratings from April 04, 2012). Arauco do Brasil (Brazil) local sales credits are insured with Euler Hermes Insurance Company (AA- Fitch Ratings from December 7, 2011). These insurance policies cover 90% of the invoice with no deductible.

In order to guarantee a credit line or an advanced payment to a supplier approved by the Credit Committee, Arauco holds several guarantees, such as mortgages, pledges, standby letters of credit, bank guarantee bonds, checks, promissory notes, consumption loans or any other guarantee that may be needed pursuant to each country’s legislation. Debt covered by this type of guarantee amounted to U.S.$ 72 million in June 2012. The guarantee procedure is regulated by Arauco’s Guarantee Policy, which controls accounting and reporting, maturity dates and value.

The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the amortized cost value of the registered trade accounts receivable, at the date of this report, less the sales percentage insured by aforementioned credit insurance companies and by the guarantees provided to Arauco.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

The Credit and Collections Department, which reports to the Financial Department, is responsible for minimizing receivables credit risk and supervising past due accounts. It is also responsible for the approval or rejection of credit limits for all sales. The standards and procedures governing the control and risk management of credit sales are set forth the Company’s Credit Policy.

For customer credit line approval and/or modification, all Arauco group companies must follow an established procedure. All Credit requests are entered into a Credit Evaluation model (EVARIE) where all available information is analyzed, including the credit line given by the credit insurance company. Subsequently, credit requests are approved or rejected by the internal committee of each company within the Arauco group considering the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy Department. If the credit line exceeds the maximum established amount, it is subsequently analyzed by the Corporate Committee. Credit lines are renewed on a yearly basis.

Sales with letters of credit are mainly from Asia and the Middle East. Credit assessments of the issuing banks are performed periodically, in order to obtain ratings made by the principal risk classification companies of country and world risk rankings, and of their financial position over the last five years. Depending on this evaluation, it is decided whether the issuing bank is approved or confirmation is requested.

All sales are controlled by a credit verification system that has set parameters to block orders from clients who have accumulated past due amounts of a defined percentage of the debt and/or clients who at the time of product delivery have exceeded their credit limit or whose credit has expired.

Of the total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2012, 87.32% is current, 8.47% is between 1 and 15 days past due, 1.32% is between 16 and 30 days past due, 0.43% is between 31 and 60 days past due, 0.09% is between 61 and 90 days past due, 2.46 % is between 91 and 180 days past due, being the maximum distribution of credit for Arauco.

Explanation of any changes to risk exposure or changes in objectives, processes and policies regarding previous years’ risk management

In March 2009, Arauco implemented a Guarantee Policy in order to control accounting, valuation and expiration dates.

In December 2009, Arauco Group updated its Corporate Credit Policy.

Regarding the risk of fix term deposits, agreements and mutual funds, Arauco has a placement policy that minimizes the risk through guidelines for management of cash flow surpluses in low-risk institutions.

Currently there is an Uncollectable Debtors Provision Policy under IFRS for all the Arauco group companies.

Investment Policy:

Arauco has an Investment Policy that which identifies and limits financial instruments and companies in which Arauco and its subsidiaries are authorized to invest in, specifically, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

The company’s Treasury Department is centralized with operations in Chile. The Head Office is responsible for carrying out investments, cash flow surplus investments, and short and long term debt subscriptions. Exceptions to this rule are specific investments made through other companies where authorization is required from the Chief Financial Officer.

With regard to financial instruments, the only permitted investments are fixed income investments and instruments with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, which depend on duration and on the issuer.

With regard to intermediaries (such as banks, brokers dealers and mutual funds), a methodology is used with the objective of determining the relative risk level of each bank or entity’s financial position and debt and asset security using a point system that gives each subject entity a relative risk ranking. Arauco uses this system to define investment limits.

The required records for evaluation of the various criteria are obtained from official Financial statements provided by the banks under evaluation and from the classification of in-effect short and long term debt securities, as defined by the controlling entity (the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions) and used by risk classification companies authorized by the controlling entity, which in this case include Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate.

Evaluated criteria are: Capital and Reserves, Current Ratio, Equity Share in Total Investments in Financial System, Capital Yield, Operational Income Net Profit Ratio, Debt / Capital Ratio and the Risk Classifications of each entity.

Any necessary exceptions regarding investment limits in each particular instrument or entity must have the authorization from Arauco’s Chief Financial Officer.

Type of Risk: Liquidity Risk

Description

This risk corresponds to Arauco’s ability to fulfill debt obligations at the time of expiration.

Explanation of Risk Exposure and How These Arise

Arauco’s exposure to liquidity risk is found mainly in its obligations to the public, banks and financial institutions, creditors and other payables. These may arise if Arauco is unable to meet net cash flow requirements, which sustain its operations under both normal and exceptional circumstances.

Explanation of Objectives, Policies and Processes for Risk Management, and Measurement Methods

The Financial Management Department constantly monitors the Company’s cash flow forecasts based on short and long term forecasts and available financing alternatives. In order to control the risk level of available financial assets, Arauco follows its investment policy.

Guarantees given

As of the date of these financial statements, Arauco holds about U.S.$ 44 million as financial assets passed to third parties (beneficiaries), as a direct guarantee. If Arauco does not meet its obligation, the beneficiaries can seek relief under the warranty.

As of June 30, 2012, the assets covered by an indirect guarantee amounted to U.S.$ 609 million. In contrast to the direct guarantees, indirect guarantees are given to secure the obligation assumed by a third party.

On September 29, 2011, Arauco signed a Security Agreement under which it awarded a joint and not several guarantee limited to 50% of the obligations of the Uruguayan companies (joint ventures) Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., under the IDB Facility Agreement in the amount of U.S.$ 454,000,000 and the Finnevera Guaranteed Facility Agreement in the amount of U.S.$ 900,000,000. Both loan agreements were signed with the International Development Bank. Such guarantee is reflected in the table below, under indirect guarantees.

Type of Risk: Market Risk – Exchange Rate

Description

This risk arises from the probability of being affected by losses from fluctuations in exchange rate in currencies in which assets and liabilities are denominated, in a functional currency different than the one defined by Arauco.

Explanation of Risk Exposures and How these Arise

Arauco is exposed to the risk of U.S. Dollar (functional currency) fluctuations for sales, purchases and obligations in other currencies, such as the Chilean Peso, Euro, Brazilian Real or others. In the case of significant exchange rate variations, the Chilean Peso is the currency that represents the main risk.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco performs sensitivity analyses to measure the effect of this variable on EBITDA and Income.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate as of June 30, 2012 over the Chilean Peso. This fluctuation range is considered possible given current market conditions at the closing date. With all other variables at a constant rate, a U.S. Dollar exchange rate variation of +/- 10% in relation to the Chilean Peso would mean an EBITDA an annual variation of +/- 0.19% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 1,789), on the income after tax and +/- 0.79% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 2,381) and 0.03% on equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 2,381).

The main financial instrument subject to the risk in exchange rate corresponds to local bonds issued in UF and are not covered by the swaps described in coverage chapter.

Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out assuming a variation of +/- 10% in the closing exchange rate on the Brazilian real, which is considered a possible range of fluctuation given the market conditions at the balance sheet date. With all the other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the exchange rate of the dollar on the Brazilian real would mean a variation on the net income after tax +/- 0.79% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 410) and a change on the heritage of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 410).

Type of Risk: Market Risk – Interest rate

Description

This risk refers to the sensitivity of the value of financial assets and liabilities in terms of interest rate fluctuations.

Explanation of Risk Exposure and How These Arise

Arauco is exposed to risks due to interest rate fluctuations for obligations to the public, banks and financial institutions and financial instruments that accrue interest at a variable rate.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco completes its risk analysis by reviewing its exposure to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2012, 11% of the Company’s bonds and bank loans bear interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% interest rate, is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 8) and +/- 0.001% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 8) on equity.

Explanation of Risk Exposure and How These Arise

Pulp prices are reflected in operational sales and directly affect the net income for the period.

As of June 30, 2012, operational income due to pulp sales accounted for 44.7% of total sales. Pulp prices are fixed on a monthly basis in accordance with the market. Forward contracts or other financial instruments are not used for pulp sales.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

This risk is approached in different ways. Arauco has a team of specialists who perform periodic market and competition analyses, providing tools to analyze and evaluate trends and adjust forecasts. Similarly, Arauco performs price financial sensitivity analysis in order to take the necessary safeguards to confront different scenarios in the best possible manner.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price, a possible fluctuation range given current market conditions at the date of the closing balance. With all other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price would mean an EBITDA annual variation of +/- 32.90% (equivalent to U.S.$ 209 million), on the income after tax and +/- 30.05% (equivalent to U.S.$ 117 million) and +/- 1.81% (equivalent to U.S.$ 147 million) on equity.

Forestry

The Forestry Division is Arauco’s core business. It provides raw material for all products manufactured and sold by the Company. By directly controlling the growth of the forests to be processed, Arauco guarantees itself quality wood for each of its products.

Arauco holds forestry assets distributed throughout Chile, Argentina and Brazil, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 936 thousand hectares are used for plantations, 385 thousand hectares for native forests, 152 thousand hectares for other uses and 78 thousand hectares are to be planted. Arauco’s principal plantations consist of radiata and taeda pine and in lesser degree of eucalyptus. These are species that have fast growth rates and short harvest cycles compared with other long fiber commercial woods.

Additionally, Arauco owns a forestry asset of 134 thousand hectares in Uruguay through a joint venture with Stora Enso, which is presented under Investment in associates and accounted for the equity method (see Note 15 and 16).

NOTE 26. DISTRIBUTABLE NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Distributable net income

As a general policy, the Board of Directors of Arauco agreed that the net income to be distributed as dividend payment is determined based on the effective realized income, net of any relevant variations in the value of unrealized assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the calculation of net income during the period such changes are made.

As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of determining the distributable net income of the Company, which is the same considered for calculating the minimum required and additional dividend, the following unrealized results are excluded from the results of the exercise:

 

1) Those relating to the fair value recorded for forestry assets covered by IAS 41, restoring them to the net income at the time of its completion. For these purposes, this includes the realized portion of such increases in fair value for assets sold or disposed by other means.

2) Those generated through the acquisition of entities. These results will be restored to the net income at the time of their realization. For this purpose, the results are realized when acquired entities generate an income after their acquisition or when such entities are sold.

The deferred taxes associated with the amounts described in points 1) and 2) are also excluded.

The following table details adjustments made for the determination of distributable net income As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 corresponding to 40% of the distributable net income for each period:
