Total net equity and liabilities

     14,571,675         14,493,395   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2014, total assets increased US$78 million compared to December 31, 2013, equivalent to 0.54% of variation. This deviation is mainly attributable to an increase in the balance of trade receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Moreover, current liabilities decreased US$44 million mainly attributable to a decrease in financial liabilities due to payment of bond obligations offset by an increase in non-financial liabilities by increasing the provision of minimum dividend.

The main financial and operating indicators relating to balance are as follows:

 

Liquidity ratios

   03-31-2014      12-31-2013  

Current Liquidity (current assets / current liabilities )

     1.69         1.67   

Acid ratio (( current assets-inventories, biological assets) / Current liabilities )

     0.94         0.98   

Debt indicators

   03-31-2014      12-31-2013  

Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)

     1.03         1.06   

Short-term debt to total debt (current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.23         0.23   

Long-term debt to total debt (non-current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.77         0.77   
     03-31-2014      12-31-2013  

Financial expenses coverage ratio (earnings before Taxes + interest expense / interest expense)

     3.88         2.94

Inventory permanence (excluding biological assets) (inventory / cost of sales)

     105.67         87.18   

As of March 31, 2014, the short-term debt represented 23% of total liabilities (23% as of December 31, 2013).

The ratio of financial expenses covered represents an increase of 2.94 to 3.88. This increase is mainly attributable to a greater proportional result for the 2014 period, compared to the same period of 2013.

 

b) Statements of income

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of US$153 million compared to a profit of US$109 million in the same period of the previous year, positive variation of US$44 million. The effect is explained by the factors described in the following table:

 

Item

   Million

Other expenses by function

     (36

Other item

     (11

2. MAIN SOURCES OF FINANCING

Arauco’s financing needs are mainly covered through the capital markets, with bond issuances and credits with banks and financial institutions serving as the main sources of financing. For short-term borrowing, Arauco is regulated by its liquidity policy which indicates the amounts and institutions from which it can borrow according to several conditions defined in the policy. In the case of long-term debt, corporate bond issuances in the local market and also in international markets are used as sources of new resources. Another source of long-term financing to credit corresponds mainly with banks and financial institutions around the world.

3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC VALUES AND BOOK ASSETS

Assets and liabilities are presented in the Financial Statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards and instructions issued by the Chilean Securities Commission.

We believe that there are no substantial differences between the economic value of our assets and the value reflected in these Financial Statements.

4. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

The first quarter of 2014 followed the same path of the fourth quarter of 2013, with a good demand, that translated into steady prices. Long fiber showed an increase in prices during all the quarter and short fiber prices were steady or with small decreases during the same period, mainly explained by an increase in supply and not by a reduction of demand. World inventory levels rose during the first quarter of 2014, and short fiber increased 7 days from December 2013 to February 2014, while long fiber increased 2 days in the same period. The main reason for this was the startup of a pulp mill in Brazil.

In Asia there was an oversupply of short fiber pulp. Along with this oversupply, the paper market still has not reached demand levels that would allow increases in paper prices or increases in operating levels. This has stopped any possibility of an increase in short fiber prices. Short fiber prices decreased between 0% and 1.5%, depending on the Asian market and the supplier. On the other hand long fiber prices increased approximately 4.0% during this quarter, generating an even higher price spread between short and long fiber of U.S.$150/ton, which is an incentive to paper manufacturers to maximize the use of short fiber in their mixes.

The European paper market was stable, without major changes. There still was oversupply, low margins and producers trying to weather the storm, especially producers of printing and writing paper. This has resulted in more pressure for discounts in contracts from the beginning of year 2014. Usually discount increases are compensated by increases in list prices every January, but this year the increase in list prices was not possible in Europe, and there was a drop in net prices. Drops in short fiber prices during the first quarter of 2014 were between 1.0% and 2.0%, while long fiber prices were steady and in some cases there were small increases between 1.0% and 1.5%.

North American pulp demand increased with a better economy. Tissue and absorbent products were the main drivers of pulp demand which lead to small increases in prices. Another factor that should be considered was an issue in production due to bad weather and heavy snow storms, which impacted the movement of raw materials and made interruptions in some productive centers. The market for fluff pulp benefited from this situation. Latin America was steady with good demand and the highest prices worldwide.

During the first quarter production was at normal levels, with the exception of the Alto Paraná mill, in Argentina, which had some reductions in January due to some technical issues that have already been fixed.

Sawn Timber Division

The real-estate and construction markets in the United States were affected by a cold winter during the first quarter of 2014, closing the period with nearly 910,000 Housing Starts, which represented a drop of 5.0% when compared with the previous year. When compared with the last ten years average, the actual construction levels are still low. During the first quarter of this year molding prices were steady in the United States in comparison with the previous quarter.

On average all markets had a positive behavior during this first quarter, with higher demand and prices.

Sales from our Chilean operations were impacted by the port stoppage that affected the country during January of 2014.

Panels Division

Sales volume increased 1.8% in the first quarter of 2014 when compared with the first quarter of 2013, mainly explained by an increase in sales volume in the United States and Brazil, especially in the MDF market. When compared with the fourth quarter of 2013, sales volume decreased 2.7%, mostly explained by the port stoppages in Chile in the beginning of 2014.

Plywood products were the most affected by the port stoppages. Sales volume dropped 22.7% when compared to the first quarter of 2013 and decreased 7.8% when compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.

Sales volume of MDF increased 7.7%, when compared with the first quarter of 2013; mainly explained by higher sales volume in Brazil and the United States. When compared with the fourth quarter of 2013, sales volume remained steady.

Sales volume of PBO during the first quarter of 2014 remained steady when compared with the first quarter of 2013. Meanwhile, when compared with the fourth quarter of 2013, sales volume decreased 6.0%, mainly explained by the maintenance of the Teno mill, in Chile and lower sales volume in Brazil and Argentina.

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     (164,252     (67,722
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

The operating cash flow has a negative balance of U.S.$81 million in the current year, with differences with respect to the previous year (U.S. $52 million). Mainly due to higher borrowings in 2013 supplemented by lower payments in the same period 2013.

The flow of investment at the end of the current period had a greater negative balance of U.S.$ 186 million as compared to U.S.$ 166 million in 2013 mainly due to lower income from sales of property, plant and equipment, higher outlays for purchases of forests and plantations in the period of 2014 supplemented with dividend income in the period 2013, offset by lower disbursements for purchases of property, plant and equipment in 2014.

6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of March 31, 2014, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 78%, 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.

In the report to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2014, Note 23, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available.

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements for the period between January 1 and March 31, 2014 were authorized and approved for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 506 held on May 15, 2014.

Functional and Presentation Currency

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries has determined the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar as its functional currency since majority of its revenues from sales of its products are from exports denominated in U.S. Dollars, while its costs of sales are to a large extent related or indexed to the U.S. Dollar.

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

For the sawmill, panel and forestry operating segments, although total sales include a mix of domestic and exports sales, 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.

In relation to cost of sales, 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, which are driven mainly by global markets and therefore, influenced mostly by the U.S. Dollar.

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the U.S. Dollar.

Figures on these consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. Dollar (ThUS$).

In these consolidated financial statements all relevant information required by IFRS has been presented.

Additional Information Relevant to the Understanding of the Financial Statements

Up until September 2013 Arauco consolidated Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A. into its financial statements because up until September 2013 these entities had been controlled by Arauco, as evidenced by these companies exclusive contracts with Arauco for timber supply, future purchases of land, and forest management.

Compliance and adoption of IFRS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arauco present in all material respects its financial position, its results of operations and its 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 interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 were prepared in accordance with Arauco’s accounting policies, which have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements.

 

a) Basis for presentation of financial statements

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they represent the integral, explicit and unreserved adoption of IFRS.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain financial instruments which are measured at revalued amounts or at fair value at the end of each period as explained in the following significant accounting policies. Generally, historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts reported. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that the accounting policies below are the critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as indicated

 

-Property, Plant and Equipment

In an asset acquisition, management values the acquired property, plant and equipment and their useful lives in consultation with third party experts.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment 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 the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, with an impairment loss 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.

-Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using internal 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 reporting date.

Detailed financial information about the 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, based 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 measure forest plantations are presented in Note 20, including a sensitivity analysis.

-Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. Arauco estimates the value either based on appraisals and/or the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

-Employee benefits

The cost of defined employee benefits for termination of employment, as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuations involve making assumptions about discount rates, staff turnover, future salary increases and mortality rates.

-Litigation and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation proceedings. Future effects on Arauco’s financial condition resulting from such litigation are estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco recognizes provisions on each statement of financial position date and/or upon each substantial modification to an underlying claim of any such litigation. For a description of current litigations see Note 18.

 

c) Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to direct the relevant financial and operating activities, which is presumed to exist when Arauco holds more than one half of the voting rights of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries (including special purpose entities) are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and up to the date that control ceases.

Specifically, a company controls an investee if, and only if, they have all of the following:

(a) power over the investee, i.e. the investor has existing rights which give it the ability to direct the relevant activities (the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns)

(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and

(c) the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

IFRS sets out requirements on how to apply the control principle:

(a) in circumstances when voting rights or similar rights give an investor power, including situations where the investor holds less than a majority of voting rights and in circumstances involving potential voting rights.

(b) in circumstances when an investee is designed so that voting rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the investee, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

(c) in circumstances involving agency relationships.

(d) in circumstances when the investor has control over specified assets of an investee.

IFRS requires an investor to reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity must use uniform accounting policies for reporting like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intragroup balances and transactions must be eliminated. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries must be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity attributable to owners of the parent company.

The profit or loss of each component of other comprehensive income is attributed to owners of the parent company and the non-controlling interest, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests even if the results of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.

If a subsidiary uses accounting policies different than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made in the financial statements of subsidiaries to prepare consolidated financial statements to ensure compliance with Arauco’s accounting policies.

All intercompany transactions and unrealized gains and losses from subsidiaries have been fully eliminated from consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements at the end of this period include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have Brazilian Reales and Chilean Pesos as their functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of those subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and translated into the presentation currency as indicated in Note 1 (e) (ii).

 

d) Segments

Arauco has defined its operating segments according to its business areas, based on the products and services sold to its customers. This definition 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 Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for making these decisions and it is supported by the Corporate Managing Directors of each segment.

Based on the aforementioned process, the Company has established operating segments according to the following business units:

 

    Pulp

 

    Panels

 

    Sawn Timber

 

    Forestry

Refer to Note 24 for detailed financial information by operating segment.

 

e) Functional currency

(i) Functional currency

All items in the financial statements of Arauco and each of its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is Arauco’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Translation to the presentation currency of Arauco

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Arauco’s operations in functional currencies different from Arauco’s are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in Other reserves within—equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

Profit or loss on transactions in currencies other than the functional currency resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognized in the statement of income, except those which are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity such as cash flows hedging derivatives.

 

f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-in-hand, deposits held on demand at banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

g) Financial Instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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

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

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument

 

    A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and the obligation for these instruments is presented under other financial liabilities within the statement of financial position.

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

The financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. They are subsequently measured at fair value with any gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps: Swaps are measured using the discounted cash flow method at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the operation.

Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Forwards: These instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Forwards are recognized as assets when fair value is positive and, as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturities.

The fair value of interest rate forward contracts is calculated by reference to the difference of the existing interest rates between the interest rate contractually agreed and the market interest rate at the end of each reporting period.

Mutual Funds: They are highly liquid instruments that are sold in the short term and are carried at their net asset value at the end of each period.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. They are initially recorded at fair value and after initial recognition, held-to- maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those with maturities more than 12 months after the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment.

Repurchase Agreements: These are recognized at their initial investment cost plus accrued interest at the end of each reporting period. These contracts have maturities of less than 30 days.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’ and are initially recorded at fair value.

(i) Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the Finance income or Finance costs line item in the consolidated statements of income.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

h) Derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial Derivatives—The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The group’s policy is that all derivative contracts are hedging contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument under IAS 39, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

(ii) Embedded derivatives—The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL. Arauco has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

(iii) Hedge accounting—The Group designates certain hedging instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, under IAS 39.

-Fair Value Hedges under IAS 39—Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged Item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.

-Cash flow hedges under IAS 39—The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the Finance costs line item in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated In equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

i) Inventories

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

The cost of finished goods and works in process includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general overhead 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 production costs of a product exceeding its net realizable value, the inventories are written-down to their net realizable value. This write-down also includes obsolescence amounts resulting from slow moving inventories and technical obsolescence.

Spare parts that will be consumed in a period of less than twelve months are presented in inventories and recognized as an expense when they are consumed.

 

j) Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in associates and groups subject to expropriation (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the closing date of the statement of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts and for which the completion is estimated to be highly probable.

These assets or groups subject to expropriation are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated retail value less the costs to carry out the sale, and are no longer amortized from the time they are classified as non-current assets held for sale.

 

k) Business Combinations

Arauco applies the acquisition method to account for a business combination. This method requires the identification of the acquirer, determination of the acquisition date, recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and recognition and measurement of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date, except:

-deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 respectively;

-liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquire or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date (see note 3.16.2); and

-assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with such standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income.

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 irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are allocated to those units or groups of units.

Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses when they are incurred, except for costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39.

A parent will present non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company.

Changes in the ownership interest of a parent in its subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are treated as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount which non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent company. No adjustment is made to the carrying amount of goodwill, neither gains or losses are recognized in the income statement.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may initially be measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

Arauco measures the fair value of the acquired company in the business combination on a step by step basis, recognizing the effects of change in participation of the profit or loss in the statement of income.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, Arauco reports preliminary amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these preliminary amounts are retrospectively adjusted, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

Business combinations that are common control transactions are accounted using as reference the pooling of interest. Under this method, assets and liabilities related to the transaction carries over the previous carrying values. Any difference between assets and liabilities included in the consolidation and the consideration transferred, is accounted in equity.

 

l) Investments in associates and joint arrangements

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Joint arrangement is defined as an entity over which there is joint control, which exists only when the decisions about strategic of activities, both financial and operational, require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as a joint venture or as a joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e., participants in a joint venture) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Their carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize Arauco’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (exchange rate differences on translation to the presentation currency) of the associate or joint venture. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the amount received from the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill.

The investments in joint operations recognize the assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco’s ownership percentage.

If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position in the line item “Investments accounted for using equity method”.

If Arauco’s share of losses of an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, Arauco discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After Arauco’s carrying value in the investee is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that Arauco has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, Arauco resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.

 

m) Intangible assets

After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated over the asset’s useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

(i) Computer Software

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

(ii) Water Rights, Easements and Other Rights

This item includes water rights, easements and other acquired rights recognized at historical cost which have indefinite useful lives as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate future cash flows. These rights are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is any indication that the assets might be impaired.

(iii) Customers and trade relations with customers

Correspond to the valuation over the time of the established relationship with customers, from the sale of products and services through its sales team. These relations will materialize in sales orders, which generate revenue and cost of sales. The useful life has been determined to be 15 years.

 

n) Goodwill

Goodwill generated in the acquisition of an entity is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration paid, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on annual basis.

The goodwill generated on acquisitions of foreign companies, is controlled in the functional currency of such foreign company.

Goodwill recognized for the acquisition of the subsidiary Arauco do Brasil S.A. whose functional currency is the Brazilian Real, is translated into U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rate. At the date of these financial statements, the only change in the carrying amount of goodwill in Brazil is related to the net exchange rate differences on translation.

 

o) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

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 Arauco and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized from property, plant and equipment. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Arauco capitalizes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as part of the cost of those assets, until the assets are ready for their intended use (see Note 12).

Depreciation is calculated by components using the straight-line method.

The useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment is estimated according to the expected use of the assets.

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, annually.

 

p) Leases

Arauco applies IFRIC 4 to assess whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Leases of assets in which Arauco substantially holds all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases are initially recognized at the lower of the fair value at the inception of the lease 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. Finance income, which is the difference between the gross receivable and the present value of such amount, is recognized as the interest rate of return.

Leases in which substantially all 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 recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

q) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Forestry plantations are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell, based on the presumption that fair values of these assets can be measured reliably.

The measurement of forestry plantations is based on discounted cash flow models whereby the fair value of the biological assets is determined using estimated future cash flows from continuing operations calculated using our sustainable forest management plans and including the estimated growth of the forests. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block and for each type of tree.

The measurement of new forestry plantations made during the current year, is made at cost, which corresponds to the fair value at that date. After twelve months, the valuation methodology used is that explained in the preceding paragraph.

Biological assets shown as current assets correspond to those forestry plantations that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value of forestry plantations are recognized in the line item Other income in the consolidated statement of income.

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

r) Income tax expense and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The tax liabilities are recognized in the financial statements based on the determination of taxable income for the year and calculated using the tax rates in force in the countries where Arauco operates.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet 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 or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The goodwill arising on business combinations does not give rise to deferred tax.

The deferred tax assets and tax credits are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

s) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

 

t) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. This means that generally revenues are recorded upon delivery of goods to customers in accordance with the agreed terms of delivery.

(i) Revenue recognition from the Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when Arauco has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when Arauco does not retain any managerial involvement over the goods sold and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to Arauco and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sales are recognized in terms of the price agreed to in the sales contract, less any volume discounts and estimated product returns 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 from sales are collected within a short period, which is in line with market practices.

(ii) Revenue recognition from Rendering of Services

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be reliably estimated, revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the reporting period, and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Arauco.

Arauco mainly provides power supply services which are transacted principally in the spot market of the Sistema Interconectado Central (Central Interconnected System). According to current regulations, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by the Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga del Sistema Interconectado Central (CDEC – SIC) (Economic Load Dispatch Center of the Central Interconnected System) and are generally recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.

Electrical power is generated as a by-product of the pulp and wood process and is a complementary business to it, which is initially supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the CDEC-SIC.

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

Revenues from operating segments mentioned in Note 24 are measured in accordance with the policies indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

Revenues from inter-segment sales (which are made at market prices) are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

u) Minimum dividend

Article No. 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law states that, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the shareholders, corporations must distribute annually at least 30% of net income for the current year as cash dividend to shareholders determined in proportion to their shares or in the proportion established in the by-laws for preferred shares, if any, except where necessary to absorb accumulated losses from prior years.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Arauco agreed to distribute annual dividends at 40% of net distributable income, including an interim dividend to be distributed at year end. Dividends payable are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period when they are declared and approved by the Arauco’s shareholders or when arises the corresponding present obligation based on existing legislation or distribution policies established by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The interim and final dividends are recorded in equity upon their approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the shareholders.

Dividends payable are presented in the line item “Other current non financial liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Dividends paid are not deductible for income tax purposes.

v) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares in the Company held by a subsidiary, if such circumstance exists.

Arauco has not performed any type of transaction with a potential dilutive effect that would cause diluted earnings per share to be different from basic earnings per share.

 

w) Impairment

Non-financial Assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and other assets with finite useful lives are measured whenever there is any indication that the assets have suffered an impairment loss. Among the indications to consider as evidence of impairment are significant declines in the assets’ market value, significant adverse changes in the technological environment, obsolescence or physical damages of assets and changes in the manner in which the asset is used or expected to be used). Arauco evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of the indications above mentioned.

For this evaluation, assets are grouped at the lowest level of group of assets that generates cash flows independently.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or whenever circumstances indicate it. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Except for goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Impairment losses are reversed so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

For the purposes of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows separately for each cash-generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which had suffered an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exists or has decreased.

“Cash-generating units” are the smallest identifiable groups of those cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made between cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, an evaluation is performed in order to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may have been impaired. Financial assets are impaired only when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of a financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been affected. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms. An allowance is made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through the use of the allowance. If the impairment loss decreases in later periods, it is reversed either directly or by adjusting the provision for doubtful accounts, with effect in profit or loss.

 

x) Employee Benefits

Arauco has severance payment obligations arising from voluntary termination of employment. These are paid to certain employees that have been employed by the Company for more than five years in accordance with conditions established within collective or individual employment 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. These obligations are considered a defined benefit plan.

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

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

These obligations are treated as post-employment benefits.

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at March 31, 2014, there has been a net increase of inventories associated with lower provision for obsolescence of ThU.S.$413 (increased provision ThU.S.$ 224 at March 31, 2013).

At March 31, 2014 there were penalties of inventory of ThU.S.$136. At March 31, 2013 there were no penalties of inventory to report.

The allowance of obsolescence is calculated based on the conditions of sale of products and age of inventory (inventory turnover).

No inventories have been pledged as security for liabilities at the end of each reporting period.

Agricultural Products

Agricultural Products are mainly forestry products that are intended for sale in the normal course of our operations and are measured at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest at the end of each reporting period Agricultural products are classified as raw materials within the line item inventories.

Merger of forest companies

For the purpose of continuing to optimize processes and adopt the best practices within the Forestry Business’ operations, companies were integrated through a gradual process of mergers. Said task began with the integration of companies Bosques Arauco S.A. and Forestal Valdivia S.A. which with the prior approval of their respective shareholders, merged as of July 1, 2013, operating under the name Forestal Valdivia S.A.

On that same date, Forestal Arauco S.A. was split-off, creating a new entity called Forestal Viñales S.A., to which shares in Forestal Celco S.A. were contributed.

As of September 1, 2013, Forestal Arauco S.A. merged and absorbed Forestal Valdivia S.A., a transaction which generated a tax gain (Income Tax Act, Article 31, No. 9), of ThU.S.$99,437, and resulted in a deferred tax asset of ThU.S.$ 19,887 (See Note 6).

On November 1, 2013, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. absorbed Forestal Viñales S.A., generating, as a result of the transaction, a capital increase of MUS$442 equal to 7,209 shares, corresponding to Empresas Copec S.A.’s participation.

On December 1 of 2013, the new Forestal Arauco S.A. was merged with Forestal Celco S.A., thus resulting in most of Arauco’s foresty assets to be grouped under a single entity. With this merger the unification process for Chile’s main forestry companies was concluded.

This restructuring has been registered as an under common control transaction. (See Note 1K)

Investments

On March 27, 2014 the company Servicios Aereos Forestales Ltda was established with contributions to pay Inversiones Arauco Internacional Ltda ThUS$25,997.4 and Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. ThUS$2.6. This company’s main objective is the provision of air transportation services for passengers and cargo, forest patrol, photography, advertising, magnetic survey, all by own and others aircraft and perform maintenance of aeronautical products.

On January 1, 2013, the company Arauco Panels Canada ULC merged with its subsidiary Flakeboard Company Ltd., existing no effect on results due to this operation.

Arauco carried out the initial recording of the acquisition of Flakeboard Company Limited in 2012 based on the information that was available as of that date and performing a preliminary determination of the allocation of the fair value in this Company’s acquisition. As of the closing of September 2013, the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was concluded and resulted in the final allocation being retroactively applied in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3. See Note 2 for the effects of this change.

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Investments and contributions made

As of March 31, 2014, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, made capital contributions for a total of ThU.S.$18,386 (ThU.S.$103,196 as of December 31, 2013) to two Uruguayan joint arrangements in order to maintain its 50% of ownership in Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. This transaction had no effect on the consolidated statement of income.

Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. are both involved in the project known as “Montes del Plata”, the purpose of which is to build a cutting edge cellulose production plant, with a capacity of 1.3 million tons per year, a port and an energy generation unit utilizing renewable resources, which is located at the town of Punta Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

As of the closing of these financial statements, Arauco has committed to “Montes del Plata” in capital contributions 10.9 million Euros (equivalent to U.S.$15 million) and U.S.$24 million in loans.

Investments in Uruguay are joint operations because of existing contracts that stipulate that both Arauco and Stora Enso maintain joint control of such investments, and since there is a contractual commitment for the sale of the entire pulp production to be generated from the future plant to Arauco and Stora Enso in the proportion each entity’s 50% ownership interest. Arauco has recognized the assets, liabilities, income and expenses relating to its ownership percentage from January 1, 2012, in accordance with IFRS11.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% 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 Eka has permitted Arauco and Eka to initiate certain joint venture activities.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

As of March 31, 2014 there is still a balance of impairment provision of machinery and equipment of ThUS$ 688 due to the closure of the Plant Board lines Curitiba (Brazil) at the end of 2011.

As of March 31, 2014, In the period 2014, there are no new provisions for impairment associated cash generating units to inform.

Disclosure of Impairment Losses of Assets

Provisions for impairment of property, plant and equipment due to technical obsolescence have been recorded as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively, as shown below:

     ThU.S.$ 5,779         ThU.S.$ 5,386   

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

As of the date of these financial statements, the balance of Goodwill is ThU.S.$ 89,596 (ThU.S.$ 88,141, at December 31, 2013), of which ThU.S.$ 40,142 was mainly generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard” (see Note 14) and ThU.S.$ 46,640 (ThU.S.$ 45,055 at December 31, 2013) by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A.. Both values were assigned to the panel segment.

The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. was allocated to the 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 expected future cash flows based on the operational plan approved by the management for 10-year period, applying a discount rate of 10%, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the panel segment in Brazil.

The change in the balance of goodwill is due solely to the exchange difference on foreign currency translation. Therefore, there has been no increase in the provision of impairment.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

1. On April 27, 2005, the National Defense Council (Consejo de Defensa del Estado) filed a civil lawsuit against Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. for reparation of environmental harm and indemnification, caused by the Valdivia Mill Plant, before the First Civil Court of Valdivia (Primer Juzgado Civil de Valdivia) (Rol 746-2005).

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 been submitted, most of which were against the Company’s position. On September 5, 2011, observations regarding the experts’ reports were presented. The inspection by the Court was held on the 13, 14 and 15 of March 2012. On March 13, 2013 the Court ordered the parties to hear judgment.

Subsequently, on March 26, 2013, the Court summoned the parties to two settlement hearings, which were conducted without favorable results. Subsequently, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. proposed a settlement offer which was not accepted.

On July 27, 2013, the first definitive ruling was issued in favor of the claim, with court expenses, ordering that the Company execute (at its own cost) the following measures in order to preserve the Nature Sanctuary:

 

  1) To perform a study of the current status of the Wetland, through an interdisciplinary team comprised of various experts in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics, for which it must create an independent committee in which the parties participate, for a term that shall not exceed one year. The studies shall include the status of water and the Wetland’s flora and fauna.

 

  2) The creation of an artificial wetland, as a sentinel controlled environment, with representative species of the Río Cruces wetland, which receive the first impact of the discharge of riles, which shall be located immediately after the tertiary treatment and before their discharge into the Río Cruces.

 

  3) The performance of a continuous environmental monitoring program by the Company, for a period that shall not be less than 5 years, and shall be conducted in accordance with the environmental assessment conditions set forth in RCA 279/98 and its subsequent amendments.

 

  4) The creation of a Wetlands Investigation Center, pursuant to what was proposed by the Company.

 

  5) Community development programs related to the Wetland in the manner that was proposed by the Company.

With regard to monetary damages, the ruling ordered the Company to pay in the compliance stage, however the form and amount of the payments were not determined.

The ruling was communicated to the Company on August 9, 2013. After a thorough analysis of the ruling, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. decided not to appeal. This decision was made as it would allow the creation of the conditions for commencing the implementation of the measures in favor of the Wetland, without waiting for further judicial terms.

Currently, the decision is binding and conclusive, and all personal and court expenses have been paid.

Whit regard to damages, the State Defense Council and the Company reached an agreement on the amount thereof, an amount equivalent to $2,600 million Chilean pesos, payable to the State in April 2014.

The referred amount would be in addition to the $2,600 million Chilean pesos (ThU.S.$ 4,956) that the Company has committed to and will spend to finance the implementation of the community development programs ordered by the decision, which shall be to the benefit of the community.

On April 7, 2014 the parties notified the Court of this agreement, which was approved by the Court on April 8, 2014.

The amount of $5,200 million Chilean pesos (ThU.S.$9,434 as of March 31, 2014) corresponding to the sum indicated in the preceding paragraphs, is recognized in the financial statements of Arauco at end of 2013.

Arauco, the State Defense Council and an interdisciplinary committee are working on measures to preserve the Nature Sanctuary listed in points 1) to 4). While the form to carry out the measures is finalized, the associated costs will be determined and will be disbursed gradually beginning in 2014. For example, the measure indicated in the previous section “1” was ordered to the Universidad Austral de Chile.

2. 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, 2011 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. This case is currently pending.

3. On June 22, 2011 the Company was notified of a 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. The case arose out of dead fish allegedly found in the Mataquito River on June 5, 2007 caused by the Licancel Plant. The plaintiffs seek to be compensated for alleged damages that they have suffered from the aforementioned event, including lost profits, pain and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. The probationary period was finished, and only letters addressed to several authorities need to be answered.

4. On December 20, 2012, the Company was notified of a civil damages claim in summary proceedings, lodged by a group of settlers in the La Concepción sector, near to the Nueva Aldea Plant. The settlers are claiming compensation for alleged environmental damages that affected their quality of life. The claim demands monetary and non-monetary damages. The purported damages refer to atmospheric emissions, pollution in river streams, risks related with truck transit and forest fire risks.

On December 27, 2012, the Company requested and obtained from the Court that the lawsuit be treated as ordinary and not summary proceedings. Currently the case is in the preliminary stage of evidence gathering, having already exhausted the discussion period.

Alto Paraná S.A.

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. (hereafter “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 $417,908,207 Argentine Pesos including capital (ThU.S.$ 52,225 at March 31, 2014), 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 $5,886,053 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 735 at March 31, 2014).

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 surety 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.$ 79,182 as of March 31, 2014), 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.

On February 1, 2013, APSA received notice of the decision dated December 28, 2012, whereby the First Chamber of Appeals rejected the appeal lodged by the Company, confirming the ex officio determination of the AFIP, and imposed the judicial fees for both instances as per their generation, since there was contradictory case law. The Company appealed this decision before the Supreme Court of the Nation via the various legal procedural remedies available. On February 4, 2013, the Company filed an ordinary appeal against the Chamber’s decision and on February 19, 2013, it also filed an extraordinary appeal against the same judgment, both before the Supreme Court of the Nation. On May 6, 2013, APSA was notified of the decision of the Court of Appeals that, as of April 23, 2013 granted the ordinary appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and was present, to her chance the Extraordinary Appeal field. On May 27, 2013, the file was forwarded to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Country. On June 3, 2013, APSA was notified of the procedural ruling issued by the High Court on May 29, 2013, declaring that the Ordinary Appeal had been duly received. On June 17, 2013, APSA submitted a duly founded presentation in connection with the Appeal, which the Court subsequently ordered to be transferred to AFIP, a circumstance of which the Company was notified on June 28, 2013. On August 5, 2013, the file was awarded to the Judicial Secretariat No. 7 (specialized in tax matters).

The reasoning of the Chamber of Appeals’ decision did not modify the opinion of our external counsel in that the Company acted in accordance with law when deducting the interest, expenses and exchange differences in the indebtedness challenged by the State, and they still hold that there are good possibilities for the decision to be quashed, rendering without effect AFIP’s ex officio determination.

(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 $10,447,705 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 1,305 at March 31, 2014) 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 alternatively, rejected it on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. APSA provided evidence that it had paid $1,634,914 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$204 at March 31, 2014), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Chamber of the CACAF denied APSA’s appeal. On April 26, 2010 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 Supreme Court. On July, 14, 2011 the AFIP answered the petition of this brief. On May 8, 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 First Chamber of the National Appeals Court of Contentious Administrative Matters. On June 15, 2012, APSA requested that the case be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were resolved, a request which was rejected by the CACAF on June 25, 2012. On July 2, 2012, 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. On August 21, 2012, APSA filed a presentation which expressed its interest to maintain the extraordinary appeal. Based on their analysis of the grounds underlying the appeal, APSA’s counsel has an optimistic view of the case.

2. By way of Resolutions Nos. 952/2000 and 83/03, and within the context of the provisions of Law No. 25,080, the former Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods approved the projects submitted by Alto Paraná S.A. to build an MDF plant (boards) and a sawmill, along with the forestation of several hectares for supplying said industries.

In March of 2005, by way of Note No. 145/05, issued by the Undersecretary for Agriculture, Ranching and Forestation, the exemption to pay exportation duties granted to Alto Paraná S.A. was suspended, as were the exemptions granted to all other companies benefited by this system under Law No. 25,080, a suspension which was implemented as a preventive measure, invoking the need to review the proceedings conducted in the respective case files. After the exhaustion of the administrative procedures, the measure is being argued by the Company before the courts. In said context, on November 8, 2006, the V Chamber of the National Appeals Court for Adversarial Administrative and Federal Matters issued a ruling stating that Alto Paraná S.A. should continue to enjoy an exemption from paying the exportation duties, provided that it guarantee said duties by taking out warranty insurance. The judicial measure became effective beginning on March of 2007 and, as of the date of the current financial statements, ThU.S.$25,322 in exportation duties have been guaranteed. Notwithstanding this ruling, the issuance of the ruling on the substantial issues of the matter is still pending. The Company maintains an assignment of funds equivalent to ThU.S.$20,144 in connection to the aforementioned export duties, as detailed in the commercial accounts payable and other regular accounts payable item.

The export duties paid by the Company while the benefit was suspended were allocated to the results of each financial year. As of this date, the Company has submitted a claim against the National Government demanding the return of ThU.S.$6,555, plus interest accrued as from the serving of process of said claim, amount which corresponds to the Export Duties paid between March of 2005 and March of 2007 as a result of the benefit’s suspension.

In turn, during April of year 2005, the Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods issued resolution No. 260/2005, requiring that holders of any firms that had received the fiscal benefits granted under Law No. 25,080 should establish guarantees to cover the total amount of any such benefits, considering for such purposes all benefits that had been enjoyed until the date of their establishment. APSA then proceeded to establish the required guarantees, which—as of the date of these financial statements—amount to $118,699,904 (equivalent to ThU.S.$14,834 at March 31, 2014).

APSA believes that it has complied with all of the obligations imposed upon it by the system set forth under Law No. 25,080.

3. On November 28, 2008, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) was notified of Resolution 212 issued by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) on November 19, 2008, by which the BCRA ordered Indictment No. 3991 questioning the timely liquidation of certain foreign currency.

With respect to APSA’s export proceeds. APSA responded to the charges in a timely and correct manner. Currently, the report is in Nº 8 Economic Criminal Court, 16th Secretariat.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements and considering the preliminary state of proceedings, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) legal advisors are not in a position to estimate the outcome. Therefore, with the understanding that there are no legal grounds for the charges, no provision has been made for this claim. At the closing date there are no other contingencies that might significantly affect the Company’s financial, economic or operational conditions.

4. On December 6, 2013, Alto Paraná S.A. was served upon Resolution 803 issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA) on November 22, 2013. By means of such resolution, the BCRA initiated Investigation No. 5581, whereby it is sought to determine the absence of currency inflow and liquidation, and the delayed inflow of currency arising from export operations.

On March 6, 2014 the provided BCRA was notified that was presented the disclaimers and opened the teaser test.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, in the opinion of the Company´s legal advisors, the likelihood in obtaining a favorable outcome (that is to say, no fines imposed) is high, given the solid defense arguments raised by APSA and the judicial background related to infractions of a similar nature.

Arauco do Brasil S.A.

On November 8, 2012, Brazilian Tax Authorities issued an Infraction Notice against one of our Brazilian subsidiaries, Arauco do Brasil S.A., for alleged unpaid taxes purportedly due by such company for the years 2006 to 2010. In particular, the Tax Authorities (i) objected to the deductibility of certain payments made and expenses incurred (including premium amortization, interest and legal expenses) by Arauco do Brasil between 2005 and 2010 and (ii) alleged that Arauco do Brasil made certain underpayments in respect of the Brazilian Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and the Brazilian Social Contribution on Net Profits (“CSL”) during 2010.

On December 11, 2012, Arauco do Brasil filed an objection to cancel the Infraction Notice before the Judgment Office of the Brazilian Revenue Service, first administrative level. As of the date of this annual report, judgment in respect of this objection remains pending. The Company believes that its objection to the Infraction Notice is supported by solid legal arguments and that there is a reasonable likelihood that this matter will result in a favorable outcome for the Company. However, if this result does not occur, it is possible that an obligation will arise for the amount specified, plus any accrued interest and penalties as of the payment date.

Forestal Celco S.A.

1. 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.

On June 21, 2013, the plaintiff submitted a Casation Appeal for annulment, based in the inobservance to both procedural and legal provisions. Currently, the declaration of admissibility for these proceedings is pending before the Supreme Court. The case was forwarded to its Excellence the Supreme Court.

3. 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 Ms 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 “Lierencillo” which they call “El Macaco”, also submitting a counterclaim with the purpose of demanding that Forestal Celco S.A. return such 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. The case was known 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.

On March 17, 2014, the Court of Appeals revoked the first instance sentence upholding the counterclaim for vindication, declaring that the counterclaimants are the sole owners of the Macaco real property, of 61.32 hectares. On April 3 of 2014, Forestal Celco S.A. contested the ruling through the submittal of cassation appeals both in consideration to substantial and procedural matters. The forwarding of the case files for these proceedings to the Supreme Court are currently pending.

4. On September 11, 2012, Forestal Celco S.A. was served with a voidance claim regarding the partition award and the purchase and sale agreement dated November 28, 1994, regarding the property called “Loma Angosta”, which occupies an area of 281,89 hectares. As part of the claim, Forestal Celco S.A. was also sued for damages. The lawsuit was filed by Mr Julián Eduardo Rivas Alarcón, on behalf of Mrs Nimia del Carmen Álvarez Delgado, against Patricia del Carmen Muñoz Zamorano and Forestal Celco S.A. The lawsuit was filed before the Civil and Criminal Court of Quirihue, under docket number C-108-2012. On October 4, 2012, Forestal Celco S.A. submitted before the court a relative incompetence defense. On October 10, 2012, the other co-defendant also filed a defense arguing the Court’s relative incompetence. The Court’s decision on both defenses is currently pending. On October 4, 2012 Forestal Celco S.A. opposed dilatory exception of relative incompetence. Dated October 10, 2012, the other defendant also objected dilatory exception of lack of jurisdiction. Both exceptions are pending resolution by the Court. On August 1, 2013, the Court decided to dismiss the motions to correct the proceedings on formal grounds submitted by both defendants—additionally sentencing them to pay court costs—a ruling that was appealed by Forestal Celco S.A. In parallel, on August 7, 2013, Forestal Celco S.A. filed a motion to declare the proceedings abandoned, a request that was rejected by the Court on August 8, 2013, by way of a resolution that was appealed by Forestal Celco S.A.

5. On January 4, 2013, Forestal Celco S.A. was served with a civil claim by Sociedad de Transportes Juan y Joel Cea Cares y Compañía Limitada which seeks to terminate the document known as “General Framework Agreement” including damages allegedly brought by Forestal Celco S.A. A conciliation hearing was held without any resolution. On January 24, 2014, the order to produce evidence was issued. Reconsideration appeal was brought against such order.

6. On December 21, 2013, Forestal Celco S.A. was served upon an ordinary damages claim based on tort liability, brought by Mr. Eduardo Alberto Contreras Lagos on behalf of Mrs. Olga Albina Gajardo Domínguez, her spouse Mr. Jorge Leonidas Machuca Vilugrón and their sons, Johnatan David Machuca Gajardo, Walter Eduardo Machuca Gajardo and Brian Esteban Machuca Gajardo, in case docket No. C-7008-2013, before the First Civil Court of Chillán. The plaintiffs demand compensation for the physical and moral damages arising from the fall of a 20 meter tall tree, which allegedly was located on a property of the defendant, on their vehicle when they were travelling through Route 160 towards Laraquete in the Eighth Region. This event occurred on January 3, 2010. Currently, the defendant brought dilatory pleas, which were accepted by Court and therefore the plaintiffs must rectify or correct the failings in their complaint.

7.On September 4, 2013, Forestal Arauco S.A., now Forestal Celco was notified of a civil damages claim for alleged non-compliance with contractual obligations, filed by Mr. José René Campos Castillo, Ms. Guadalupe del Carmen Gallardo Rivas, Mr. Iván Patricio Campos Gallardo, Ms. Elizabeth del Carmen Campos Gallardo, Mr. Remigio Pedreros Catril, Ms. Rosa Eudolia García Díaz, Mr. Edgardo Remigios Pedreros García, Ms. Marianela Judelina Pedreros García, Mr. Jorge Antonio Petit-Laurent Pries, Ms. Ida Haydeé Sáez Arriagada, Mr. Jaime Antonio Petit-Laurent Sáez and Mr. Víctor Mauricio Petit-Lauren Sáez against Empresa de Transportes y Servicios Forestales Trayenko Ltda. and Forestal Arauco S.A. The claim sought for the defendant companies to be held jointly and severally liable or jointly liable in equal proportions, or in the proportion established by the Court, or in lieu thereof, to hold only the latter company liable for the payment of non-monetary damages suffered by the relatives identified in the claim. Based on the claim, a mechanical failure, among other reasons, resulted in the death of Mr. Víctor Campos Gallardo, Mr. Danilo Pedreros García and Mr. Emilio Joaquín Petit-Laurent Sáez (the driver and occupants of a truck that overturned) due to a traffic accident that occurred on September 10, 2009, in the Curaquilla Intersection, borough of Arauco.

The claim was filed before the Civil Court of Arauco (Case File No. C-371-2013). Forestal Arauco appeared in the trial presenting a motion to annul all proceedings, as well as, a motion to amend the proceedings as per N°6 of Article 303 of the Civil Procedures Code. The Court admitted both motions and suspended the main proceedings while the motions were addressed, opening a term for evidence for the first of said motions. Forestal Arauco filed a reconsideration appeal with respect to this ruling. Concurrently, the main defendant answered the claim directly. The resolution of the motions is still pending.

8. On October 26, 2012, Forestal Valdivia S.A., now Forestal Celco S.A., was notified of a restitution suit filed by Mr. Nelson Vera Moraga, Attorney representing the estate of Mrs. Julia Figueroa Oliveiro, which occurred over 60 years ago.

Valdivia S.A. without legal title. On January 14, 2013, the Company filed a response requesting the rejection of this claim. The ordinary term for providing evidence has expired as of this date. Certain evidentiary proceedings requested by the parties during the ordinary term for providing evidence are still pending and they will be carried out to the extent authorized by the Court. On March 13 of 2014, the Court issued a first instance ruling rejecting the claim. On March 31 of 2014 the plaintiff appealed the first instance ruling through the submittal of a cassation appeal with regards to procedural aspects for before. The Court of Appeals of Temuco, under file number 295-2014, dated May 5, 2014 cassation appeals were declared admissible in the form and appeal. Currently it is pending that issuance of the resolution that orders the presentation of the case before the court.

9. On November 17, 2003, Bosques Arauco S.A., now Forestal Celco S.A., was notified of a property restitution claim brought by Ms. Celmira Maria Curin Tromo, who requested the restitution of certain real estate property 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 are allegedly occupied by Bosques Arauco S.A. in blatant disregard of her property interest. On June 6, 2008, the first decision was issued, rejecting the claim. The decision was appealed and the Corte de Apelaciones de Temuco (High Court of Appeals of Temuco) overturned the decision on January 6, 2009, ruling 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 ruling’s execution phase.

On October 28, 2009, the plaintiff requested the execution of the ruling with notice to the defendant, in addition to compensation for the alleged moral harm personally experienced by her. After being notified of the request, Bosques Arauco S.A., in turn, requested that this request be nullified on the grounds that the alleged harm and suffering was not part of the judicial proceedings and that therefore was not part of the final judgment. This application has not yet been resolved by the court.

On July 10, 2013 Bosques Arauco S.A. appropriated the amount sued for in property damages and on July 15, 2013, the Court recorded that appropriation.

10. In 1999, Bosques Arauco S.A., now Forestal Celco S.A., was notified of a property recovery claim filed by Ms. Silvia Aurora Escalona Fernández, Mr. Nazario Israel Escalona Fernández and Mr. Carlos Alfonso Escalona Fernández, who demanded the restitution of a portion of land equal to 426.93 hectares located within a larger rural property named Cerro Alto y Las Ánimas, located in the borough of Los Álamos, with a total surface of 505.27 hectares. The claimants have reserved their right to discuss damages for deterioration and products for a later stage in the trial. The claim ultimately requested the court to declare that the claimants are the exclusive and lawful owners of the land named Cerro Alto y Las Ánimas in its entire surface, and, in lieu thereof, in the area determined by the court. The claim was filed before the Civil Court of Lebu, under Case File Number C-16,073-1999. The defendant responded to the claim noting that the facts presented in said claim were untrue, and that the claimant only had rights and actions over a lot of forty blocks, Bosques Arauco S.A. being the exclusive owner of the land known as Cuyinco Alto, with an aggregate surface of 4,800 hectares. On April 29, 2013, the Court issued its decision wholly dismissing the claim. On June 21, 2013, the claimant appealed the judgment by way of an ordinary appeal and a cassation appeal on formal grounds. As of October 11, 2013, both appeals are awaiting their hearing before the Court of Appeals of Concepción (Case Docket No. 1,229-2013).

Currently the defendant submitted its dilatory defenses, which were upheld, therefore, the plaintiff shall correct the defects present in its claim.

The plaintiffs request a compensation for the alleged material and moral damages they experienced as a result of the fire that took place on December 1 of 2013 in the El Piure, Llico, Rumena and Lavapaie sectors of the borough of Arauco, which would have allegedly been originated in the Quinguen estate owned by Forestal Arauco S.A., in the moment in which the company’s staff was performing duties within said estate.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise of forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lower extent of eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, with a total surface of 1.6 million hectares, out of which 1 million hectares are used for forestry planting, 390 thousand hectares are native forest, 179 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 62 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of March 31, 2014, the production volume of logs totaled 4.8 million cubic meters (4.9 million cubic meters as of March 31, 2013).

Measurements of fair value of Arauco’s biological assets are classified as Level 3, due to the fact that inputs are not observable. However, this information reflects the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk.

These unobservable inputs were developed using the best information available and includes own information of Arauco. These unobservable inputs can be adjusted if the available information indicates that other market participants would use different information or there is something specific in Arauco that is not available to other market participants.

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

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

- Current forestry plantation expectations are projected based on a net decrease total volume, with a minimum growth equivalent to the current supply demand.

- Future plantations are not considered.

- The harvest of forestry plantations supplies raw materials for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures high quality timber for each of its products.

- Expected 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 fair value of the plantations are recognized in profit or loss in the line item Other income within the consolidated statement of income. Changes in fair value of biological assets were ThU.S.$66,613 at March 31, 2014 (ThU.S.$67,609 at March 31, 2013). As a result of measuring biological assets at its fair value a higher cost of sales of ThU.S.$48,330 at March 31, 2014 (ThU.S.$46,046 at March 31, 2013).

- Forestry plantations are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

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

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

     -10         (400,869

Differences in valuation of biological assets, in the discount rate and in the margins are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under line items “other income” and “other expenses”, as appropriate.

Forestry plantations classified as current Biological assets are those to be harvested and sold within twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company has contracted fire insurance policies for its forestry plantations, which in conjunction 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 association with Stora Enso, which are recognized in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, in accordance with IFRS11, Arauco recognizes the assets, liabilities, income and expenses relating to their ownership percentage (see Note 16).

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

As of March 31, 2014, there are no forestry plantations pledged as security.

NOTE 22. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As a result of decreases in demand for sawn timber products due to the economic downturn in years 2008 and 2009, Arauco’s Management decided in December of 2010 to permanently close the following sawmills: La Araucana, Escuadrón, Lomas Coloradas, Coelemu and the remanufacturing plant Lomas Coloradas. Property, plant and equipment related to these facilities were classified held for sale. As of December 31, 2011, Arauco has made sales of these units and remains committed to its plan to sell these assets, although the completion of these sales have been delayed more than expected as the Company is seeking for more favorable offers.

The following table sets forth information on the main types of non-current assets held for sale:

Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, trade and others payables, accounts payables related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments, and, in the case of trade and other receivables, due to the fact that any loss resulting from its recoverability is already reflected in the provision for impairment losses.

The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in active markets is estimated through the use of discounted cash flows that are calculated using market variables that are observable at the date of the financial statements.

The fair value of bonds issued was determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions and are traded on an active liquid market.

The fair value of bank borrowings were determined based on discounted cash flow analysis, applying the corresponding discount yield curves to the remaining term to maturity.

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (Held for Trading)

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets classified in this category are mainly acquired for sale in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and are recorded at fair value with changes in value recognized in profit or loss. These financial assets are held with the objective of maintaining adequate liquidity levels to meet Arauco’s obligations.

Mutual Funds:

Arauco invests in local and international mutual funds in order to maximize the returns of cash surpluses denominated in Chilean Pesos or in foreign currencies such as U.S. Dollars or Euros. These instruments are permitted by Arauco’s Investment Policy. At the date of these financial statements the Company has reduced its position in these instruments compared to December 2013 by 3%.

The following table sets forth the risk classification of mutual funds as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2014, Arauco held certain derivatives designated as hedging instruments for cash flow hedge purposes. Specifically, Arauco has designated cross currency swaps as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$29,274 for those in an asset position and ThU.S.$ 22,315 for those in a liability position, which are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line items “other non-current financial assets” and “other non-current financial liabilities”, respectively. Arauco has also designated foreign exchange forwards as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$ 642, which is presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line item “other current financial assets”. Changes in fair value during the period have been recognized in other comprehensive income and have been accumulated in equity.

Nature of Risk

Arauco is exposed to the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly due to balances of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars and liabilities denominated in UF (obligations to the public), which causes mismatches that could affect operating results.

Information on Swaps Designated as Hedging Instruments

Swaps Hedging Series F Bonds

Hedged Item

In November 2008 and March 2009, Arauco issued Series F Bonds for a total of 7,000,000 UF at an annual interest rate of 4.25% payable semi-annually. In order to mitigate the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in the exchange rate, Arauco entered into four cross-currency swap contracts that fully hedge the total amount of the bond issued and five additional contracts that will become effective on the date specified in each contract as discussed below:

Based on its test of effectiveness, Arauco determined that the hedging instrument is highly effective to offset the variability in cash flows of the hedged item from changes in the exchange rate.

Hedging Strategy

Considering that Arauco has a high percentage of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars (its functional currency), it is exposed to the risk of exchange rate as it has bonds issued denominated in U.F. (Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit). The objective of entering into cross currency swaps is to hedge the variability in cash flows for the U.F. exchange rate, exchanging the cash flows from the bonds issued denominated in U.F., with cash flows in U.S. Dollar at a fixed exchange rate determined at inception of the cross currency swaps.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2104, have been measured based on the valuation methodologies provided in IAS 39. The methodologies applied for each financial instrument are classified according to their hierarchy as follows:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

  Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

To value Level 2 instruments, primarily related to foreign currency swaps, the present value of the future cash flows calculated, in this case being the future cash of UF and U.S. Dollars. To discount the future cash flows, the zero coupon discount rate for UF and U.S. is utilized. In each case, price quotes from Bloomberg are used.

Risk Management

Arauco’s financial instruments are exposed to various financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks). Arauco’s overall risk management program focuses on uncertainty in financial markets and aims to minimize potential adverse effects on Arauco’s financial profitability.

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

Credit Risk

Description

Credit risk refers to financial uncertainty at different periods of time relating to the fulfillment of obligations with counterparties, at the time of exercising the contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets on behalf of Arauco.

Explanation of Credit Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to credit risk is directly related to each of its customer’s individual abilities to fulfill their contractual commitments, reflected in trade receivables. Furthermore, credit risk also arises for time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds.

As a policy for its trade receivables, Arauco entered into insurance policies for open account sales. The insurance policies are used to cover export sales from Arauco, Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., and Alto Paraná S.A. as well as domestic sales of Arauco Distribución S.A., Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Wood Inc., Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco Panels USA LLC, Flakeboard Co Ltd., Flakeboard America Ltd. and Alto Paraná S.A. (and subsidiaries). Arauco contracts its

insurance policies with Continental Credit Insurance Company (rated AA- by credit agencies as Humphreys and Fitch Ratings on April 4, 2012). Until November 30, 2012, Arauco do Brasil (and subsidiaries) insured its domestic credit sales with Euler Hermes Insurance Company. Beginning on December 1, 2012, all insurance policies for credit sales in the Arauco Group were insured with the Continental Credit Insurance Company. The insurance policies cover 90% of the amount invoiced with no deductible.

In order to secure a credit line or an advanced payment to a supplier approved by the Credit Committee, Arauco gives several types of guarantees, such as mortgages, pledges, standby letters of credit, certificates of deposit, checks, promissory notes, mutual loans or any other guarantee that may be requested pursuant to each country’s legislation. The procedure to issue a guarantee is established in the Arauco’s Guarantee Policy, which has the purpose of controlling the accounting, maturity and valuation of such guarantees.

As of March, 2014, the total amount of guarantees given was ThU.S.$142.000 which is summarized in the following table. The procedure of guarantees is regulated by the Politics of Arauco’s Guarantees which aims to control the accounting, the maturity and the valuation of these.

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, in 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 to Asia and the Middle East. Credit assessments of the issuing banks are performed periodically, in order to obtain domestic and international credit ratings made by the principal credit rating agencies, and of their financial position over the past five years. Depending on this evaluation, it is decided whether the issuing bank is approved or confirmation of the letter of credit is requested.

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

Of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2014, 92.30% are current (i.e. non-past due), 6.51% are between 1 and 30 days past due, 0.04% are between 30 and 60 days past due, 0.05% are between 90 and 120 days past due, 0.01% are between 150 and 180 days past due, and 1.10% are more than 250 days past due.

In May 2013, Arauco updated its Corporate Credit Policy.

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

Currently there is a policy for provisions for doubtful accounts receivable under IFRS for all the Arauco group companies.

Investment Policy:

Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities that Arauco and its subsidiaries are authorized to invest in.

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.

For financial instruments, the only permitted investments are fixed income investments and instruments with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, depending on duration and type of issuer.

Regarding to intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and broker/dealers of mutual funds), a scoring methodology is used to determining the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assigning score points that result in a credit risk rating to each intermediary. Arauco uses this scoring system to determine its investment limits for each intermediary.

The required information to evaluate the various criteria are obtained from published financial statements from the banks under evaluation and from the credit risk ratings of short and long term debt securities obtained from rating agencies authorized by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate).

The criteria evaluated are: Capital and Reserves, Current Ratio, Return on equity, Net Income to Operating income Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio and the Credit Risk rating 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.

Liquidity Risk

Description

This risk corresponds to Arauco’s ability to fulfill its financial obligations upon maturity.

Explanation of Liquidity Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to liquidity risk is mainly from its obligations to bondholders, banks and financial institutions, creditors and other payables. Liquidity risk may arise if Arauco is unable to meet the 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 monitors on an ongoing basis the Company’s cash flow forecasts based on short and long term forecasts and available financing alternatives. In order to manage the risk level of financial assets, Arauco follows its investment policy.

The following tables detail Arauco’s liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual undiscounted cash outflows and their remaining contractual maturities:

Type of Risk: Market Risk – Exchange Rate

Description

Market risk arises from the probability of being affected by losses from fluctuations in currencies exchange rates in which assets and liabilities are denominated, in a functional currency other than the functional currency of Arauco.

Explanation of Currency Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to the foreign currency risk from currency fluctuations arising from sales, purchases and obligations undertaken in foreign currencies, such as the Chilean Peso, Euro, Brazilian Real or other foreign currencies. In the case of significant exchange rate variations, the Chilean Peso is the currency that represents the main currency risk. See note 11 for details assets and liabilities classified by currency.

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

Arauco performs sensitivity analyses to measure the currency risk over the EBITDA and Net Income.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate 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 a change in the net income after tax +/- 0.25% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-1,328), and +/- 0.01% of assets (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-773).

The main financial instrument subject to the risk in exchange rate as of December 2013 corresponded to domestic bonds issued denominated in UF and that were not hedged with cross currency swaps described in the hedge accounting disclosures. As of March 31, 2014 these bonds are covered by foreign exchange swap.

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 closing 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 +/- 0.10% (equivalent to ThU.S.$543) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$543).

Market Risk – Interest rate risk

Description

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

Explanation of Interest Rate Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to risks due to interest rate fluctuations for bonds issued, bank borrowings and financial instruments that bear 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 March 31, 2014, 22.0% 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 +/- 0.03% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 134) and +/- 0.0001% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 77) on equity.

Market Risk – Price of Pulp Risks

Description

Pulp prices are determined by world and regional market conditions. Prices fluctuate based on demand, production capacity, commercial strategies adopted by large-scale forestry companies, pulp and paper producers and by the availability of substitutes.

Explanation of Price Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

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

As of March 31, 2014, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 41.0% 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 +/- 10.0% 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 +/- 10.0% in the average pulp price would mean an EBITDA annual variation of +/- 11.9% (equivalent to U.S.$183 million), on the income after tax and +/- 21.5% (equivalent to U.S.$146 million) and +/- 1.0% (equivalent to U.S.$76 million) on equity.

Pulp

The Pulp operating segment uses wood exclusively from pine and eucalyptus plantations for the production of different classes of wood cellulose or pulp. Bleached pulp is mainly used as raw material for producing printing and writing paper, as well as toilet paper and high quality wrapping paper. Unbleached pulp is used to produce packing paper, filters, fiber cement products, dielectric paper and others. On the other hand, fluff pulp is mainly used in the production of diapers and female hygiene products.

Arauco has six plants, five in Chile and one in Argentina, and they have a total production capacity of approximately 3.2 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 39 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

Panels

The Panels operating segment produces a wide range of panel products and several kinds of moldings aimed at the furniture, decoration and construction industries. It consists of 16 industrial plants: 3 in Chile, 2 in Argentina, 2 in Brazil, and 9 plants around USA and Canada. The Company has a total annual production capacity of 6.6 million cubic meters of PBO, MDF, Hardboards, plywood and moldings.

With 9 saw mills in operation (8 in Chile and 1 in Argentina), the Company has a production capacity of 2.9 million cubic meters of sawn wood.

Furthermore, the Company has 5 remanufacturing plants, 4 in Chile and 1 in Argentina. These plants reprocess sawn wood and produce high quality remanufactured products, such as finger joint and solid moldings as well as precut pieces.

Forestry

The Forestry operating segment is Arauco’s core business. It provides raw materials 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, Brazil and Uruguay, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 1 million hectares are used for plantations, 390 thousand hectares for native forests, 179 thousand hectares for other uses and 62 thousand hectares are to be planted. Arauco’s principal plantations consist of radiata and taeda pine and eucalyptus to a lesser degree. These are species that have fast growth rates and short harvest cycles compared with other long fiber commercial woods.

Arauco has no customers representing 10% or more of its revenues.

A summary of financial information of assets, liabilities, profit or loss for each operating segment is presented in the tables below:

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 is determined based on realized net gains/(losses) 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 dividend required and additional dividend, the following unrealized gains/losses are excluded from the net income for the year:

 

1) Unrealized gains/losses relating to the fair value recorded for forestry assets under IAS 41, adding them back to distributable net income when they are realized through sale or disposed of by other means.

2) Those generated through the acquisition of entities. These results will be added back to net income when they are realized through sale.

 

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

The following table details the adjustments made for the determination of distributable net income as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net income for each year:

The Company expects to maintain its policy of distributing 40% of its net distributable income as dividends for all future fiscal years, but will also consider the alternative of distributing a provisional dividend at year end.

The line “Other current non-financial liabilities” included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 in the amount of ThU.S.$164,891, represents a total of ThU.S.$111,373, which ThU.S.$35,949 corresponds to the provision of minimum dividend recorded for the period 2014, and ThU.S.$75,424 corresponds to the provision of dividend payable for the year 2013, both corresponding to the parent company.
