Consequently, certain information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which did not alter during the period has not been presented.

The quarterly financial information is presented in Brazilian Reais, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information present in Brazilian Reais was rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

2.3        Measuring basis

The quarterly financial information was prepared based on historic cost, except for the following financial instruments:

·         The financial instruments which were stated at fair values through profit or loss, are measured at fair value;

·         The financial assets available for sale measured at their fair values;

·         The interests in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities are recognized in accordance with the equity accounting method; and

·         The value of the net assistance liability is recognized by deducting the fair value of the plan's assets from the present value of the actuarial obligation calculated by a contracted actuary.

2.4        Use of estimates and judgment

The preparation of quarterly financial information requires that the Company’s senior management make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the application of accounting policies and assets, liabilities, income and expenses reported values. The actual results may divert from these estimates.

16.1      Credit related to “Luz Fraterna”

During the 2065th Board Meeting held on September 9, 2013, Copel’s board approved the transfer of the debt owed by the Parana State Government for the Luz Fraterna Program from Copel Distribuição S.A. to Copel. They also approved a change in procedures so that future debts originating from that government program are assumed by Copel.

On May 13, 2014, Aneel approved the transaction by issuing decision number 1,560. On May 31, 2014 a Credit Assignment Agreement was entered into, whereby the receivables held by Copel Distribuição from the Luz Fraterna account for the period from September 2010 to February 2014 were transferred to Copel. Late payment charges (fine of 2%, inflation adjustment using the IGP-M and monthly interest of 1%) were also transferred, and the total amount reached R$115,696, with maturity on May 31, 2014. Copel in turn passed the same amount on to Copel Distribuição to settle overdue bills.

Under that agreement, Copel Distribuição will transfer receivables to Copel every six months, consisting of subsequent revenues earned and related late payment charges (fine of 2%, inflation adjustment using the IGP-M and monthly interest of 1%) referring to the Luz Fraterna Program which were not settled as from March 1, 2014. In this context, in 2014, was transferred the amount of R$21.441. Copel in turn is due to pass the same amount on to Copel Distribuição to settle overdue bills.

If Copel defaults on its obligation to pass the funds on to Copel Distribuição, the amounts will be adjusted for inflation using the IGP-M applicable until the actual transfer.

Under the Credit Assignment Agreement Copel will issue a debt note against Parana State Government. An adjustment for inflation using the IGP-M and monthly interest of 1% will be applied to the amount due from the date the debt note is issued until its actual payment by the Parana State Government.

16.2      Financing transferred - STN

The Company transferred loans and financing to its wholly owned subsidiaries at the time of constitution in 2001. However, since the contracts for the transfers to the respective subsidiaries were not formalized with the financial institutions, they remain recognized in the parent company.

This financing was transferred bearing the same charges assumed by the Company and is reported separately, as a receivable from the wholly owned subsidiaries, and as liabilities for loans and financing in the subsidiaries (Note 22.1).

16.3      Loan - Voltalia São Miguel do Gostoso

On 02.03.2015, a loan agreement was signed between Copel (Lender) and Voltalia São Miguel do Gostoso Participações S.A. (Borrower), in the amount of R$29,400,000.00, with a two year term and a remuneration of 111.5% of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI), aiming at providing working capital for financing the Borrower's activities and business.  In the first semester of 2015 a financial income of R$1,352 was recorded.

31.6      Copel Distribuição Tariff Adjustment

The Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel) approved Copel Distribuição's Annual Adjustment by Resolution 1897 of 06.16.2015, which authorized the enforcement of a 15.32% increase in the average tariff adjustment as from 06.24.2015. The installment corresponding to the partial deferments regarding the financial components related to the 2013 and 2014 Tariff Adjustments, requested by Copel Distribuição at the time, has been considered in this adjustment.

The 15.32% adjustment is composed of: (i) 20.58% related to the incorporation of financial components, which will be recovered over the 12 month period subsequent to the adjustment (including the amount of R$935,256 corresponding to the deferments performed in 2013 and 2014); (ii) 0.34% deriving from the correction of Installment B; (iii) -3.25% related to the adjustment of Installment A; and (iv) -2.35% which reflect the withdrawal of financial components from the previous process. The adjustment was fully applied to Copel Distribuição's tariffs as from 06.24.2015.

As of 06.30.2015, the corrected amount regarding the 2013 deferral is R$287,249, and the 2014 deferral, R$648,007, thus totaling R$935,256 (Note 9), to be amortized over the tariff cycle from June 2015 to May 2016.

2015 Extraordinary Rate Review

On February 27, 2015 Aneel approved the Extraordinary Rate Review in 36,79%, starting from March 02, 2015, which aimed to restore the rate coverage of the electricity distribution companies due to the increase in the Energy Development Account – CDE (22,14% of adjustment), and to relocation of energy costs (14,65% of adjustment) due to the rate adjustment of Itaipu, impacted by exchange variance and the hydrological situation, and the high prices at the 14th Existing Electricity Auction (A-1 2014) and the 18th Adjustment Auction held on January 15, 2015

In the 2015 Annual Adjustment, the partial amount of the 2015 RTE, corrected by the Selic rate, totaling 359,527 (Note 9), related to the CDE financial components amounting to R$268,627 and purchase of energy amounting to R$90,900, has been deducted. The remaining RTE balance will be considered in the next tariff adjustment.

Rate Flags

The rate flag system aims to inform consumers of the electricity generation systems in the National Interconnected Grid - SIN, by charging surcharges in the Energy Rate - TE, thereby making it possible to adjust consumption to real electricity prices.

The green, yellow and red flags indicate the electricity generation conditions in Brazil. The green flag indicates favorable conditions and the rates are not increased. The yellow flag indicates less favorable conditions and the red flag applies in conditions that are more expensive.

Aneel annually ratifies the amount to be considered for the rate flags, based on forecast changes due to thermal generation, the ESS generated by energy security, involuntary exposure to the spot market due to contractual deficiencies, and the hydrological risk posed by generation at Itaipu.

As per Aneel Regulations, the rate flags began to be applied to electricity bills on January 1, 2015. Aneel had determined a red flag surcharge of R$30.00 R$/MWh and R$15.00 R$/MWh for the yellow flag. By raising energy costs, these amounts were reviewed and the red flag currently applies of R$55.00 R$/MWh and for the yellow flag surcharge 25.00 R$/MWh.

Decree 8401 published February 4, 2015 created the (centralizing account of rate flag funds – CCRBT), intended to manage funds deriving from the application of the rate flags introduced by Aneel, with the funds available passed through to the distribution agents, at the amounts effectively realized as forecast in the variations in generation costs from thermal sources and exposure to spot prices which affect the electricity distribution agents connected to the National Interconnected System - SIN and the existing rate coverage.

The 2015 Annual Adjustment, the revenue derive from the enforcement of an additional red tariff charge, and the repasses from Conta Bandeiras for the accrual periods from January 2015 to March 2015 were considered in the determination of CVA Energia and CVA ESS/EER, as per Approval Resolution 1897 of 06.16.2015.

34      Operating segments

The main makers of the strategic decisions of the Company and its subsidiaries, in charge of allocating funds and assessing the performance of operational segments, are the C-level executives of the Parent Company and of each subsidiary.

34.1      Products and services which generate revenues for the reportable segments

The Company operates in five reportable segments identified by management, through the Chief Executive Office and the chief offices of each business area, taking into consideration the regulatory environments, the strategic business units, and the different products and services. These segments are managed separately, since each business and each company requires different technologies and strategies.

In the first semester of 2015, all sales were made within Brazilian territory.

We have not identified any customer who individually accounts for more than 10% of total net revenues in the first semester of 2015.

Determining fair values

b)     Calculated according to information made available by the financial agents and to the market values of the bonds issued by the Brazilian government.

74

 


 
 

 

c)     Calculated based on the cost of the last issue by the Company, 113.25% of the CDI for discount of the expected payment flow.

d)     The Company based its calculation on the comparison with a noncurrent, variable interest rate National Treasury bond (NTN-B) maturing on August 15, 2024, which yields approximately 6.73 % p.y. plus the IPCA inflation index.

e)     Criteria and assumptions disclosed on note 3.7.2 of December 31, 2014.

f)      The accounts receivable related to concession extension, related to the assets, which started operations after May 2000, the expected flow of cash entries was discounted at the Selic rate, the best short-term rate available for comparison for determination of its market value.

g)     Criteria and assumptions disclosed on note 3.7.1 of December 31, 20134. The changes held in the first semester of 2015 are as follows:

  Consolidated
Balance as of January 1, 2015 3,792,476

35.2      Financial risk management

The Company has a Corporate Risk Management Committee in charge of formulating and tracking risk management policies and assisting the Audit Committee to ensure a good management of resources and the protection and appreciation of its assets.

The Company's business activities are exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

35.2.1     Credit Risk

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of the occurrence of losses related to non-compliance by a client or counterpart to a financial instrument with their respective obligations under the terms agreed on.

a)     Company management manages the credit risk of its assets in accordance with the Group's policy of investing virtually all of its funds in federal banking institutions. As a result of legal and/or regulatory requirements, in exceptional circumstances the Company may invest funds in prime private banks.

b)     The risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses resulting from problems in receiving amounts invoiced to its clients, customers, concession operators and licensees. This risk is closely related to internal and external factors of Copel. To mitigate this type of risk the Company manages its accounts receivable, detecting customer groups that pose the greatest risk of default, cutting off energy supplies and implementing specific collection policies, supported by real or personal guarantees for senior debt to R$200.

Doubtful accounts are adequately covered by an allowance to cover any realization losses.

c)     Company management believes the CRC poses a minimal credit risk, as the amortizations are guaranteed by dividends, and the State Government is paying the renegotiated amounts in accordance with the fourth amendment.

d)     The Management believes to be greatly reduced the risk of this credit, since the contracts that have been executed ensure the unconditional right to receive cash at the end of the concession to be paid by the Granting Authority, relating to costs not recovered through tariff.

e)     Based on the Company's understanding that the signed agreements establish the unconditional right to receive cash at the end of the concession, from the concession authority, for the investments made in assets that have not been recovered through rates by the end of the concession and specifically regarding energy transmission, as RAP is guaranteed revenue, and therefore not subject to the risk of demand.

f)      Management considers the credit risk on the indemnity approved for the assets, which started operations after May 2000 to be reduced, given that the realization and compensation rules have already been established by the Granting Authority. The Company received the installments overdue until September 2014 and the Management’s expectation is to receive the remaining installments.

76

 


 
 

 

g)     For value of existing assets on May 31, 2000, Aneel published Resolution no. 589/2013, which addresses the definition criteria for calculating the New Replacement Value (VNR) for the indemnification purpose. For these assets, Management considers the credit risk as reduced since the rules for compensation are set and there is a going survey of information required by the granting authority.

35.2.2     Liquidity risk

The Company's liquidity risk consists of the possibility of insufficient funds, cash or other financial asset to settle obligations on scheduled dates.

The Company manages liquidity risk relying on a set of methodologies, procedures and instruments applied for a permanent control over financial processes to ensure a proper management of risks.

Investments are financed by incurring medium and long-term debt with financial institutions and capital markets.

Short-term, medium-term and long-term business projections are made and submitted to management bodies for evaluation. The budget for the next fiscal year is annually approved.

Medium and long-term business projections cover monthly periods over the next five years. Short-term projections consider daily periods covering only the next 90 days.

The Company permanently monitors the volume of funds to be settled by controlling cash flows to reduce funding costs, the risk involved in the renewal of loan agreements and compliance with the financial investment policy, while at the same time keeping minimum cash levels.

The table below shows the expected settlement amounts within each time range. Projections were based on financial indicators linked to the related financial instruments and forecast according to average market expectations as disclosed on the Central Bank of Brazil's Focus Report, which provides the average expectations of market analysts for these indicators for the current year and the following year. As from 2017, 2016 indicators are repeated through the forecast period, except for the US dollar, which follows the US inflation rate.

As disclosed in notes 22.10 and 23.2, the Company and its subsidiaries have loan and financing agreements and debentures with covenants that if breached may require have its payment accelerated.

The main guarantees put up for maintaining business and investing activities are invested in securities (note 5) and cash (note 6).

35.2.3     Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and share prices. The purpose of risk management is to control exposures within acceptable limits, while optimizing return.

a)    Foreign currency risk (US Dollar)

This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in exchange rates, which may reduce assets or increase liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company’s foreign currency indebtedness is not significant and it is not exposed to foreign exchange derivatives. The Company monitors all relevant exchange rates.

The effect of the exchange rate variation resulting from the power purchase agreement with Eletrobras (Itaipu) is passed on to customers in Copel Distribuição's next rate review.

The exchange rate risk posed by the purchase of gas arises from the possibility of Compagas reporting losses on the fluctuations in gas prices resulting from a fluctuation in the value of the "basket of oils" and exchange rates, increasing the balances of accounts payable related to the acquired gas.

78

 


 
 

 

Compagas monitors these fluctuations on a permanent basis.

Sensitivity analysis of foreign currency risk

The Company has developed a sensitivity analysis in order to measure the impact of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar on its loans and financing subject to exchange risk.

The baseline takes into account the existing balances in each account as of June 30, 2015 and the likely scenario takes into account the balances subject to the exchange rate variations – end of period (R$/US$ 3,25) estimated as market average projections for 2015 according to the Focus Report issued by the Brazilian Central Bank as of June 26, 2015. For the adverse and remote scenarios, deteriorations of 25% and 50%, respectively, were considered for the main risk factor for financial instruments compared to the rate used for the likely scenario.

    Baseline Projected scenarios - Dec.2015
Foreign exchange risk Risk 06.30.2015 Probable Adverse Remote
           
Financial assets

    (535,444) (42,696) (187,230) (331,766)

 

In addition to the sensitivity analysis required by CVM Resolution no. 475/08, the Company evaluates its financial instruments considering the possible effects on profit and loss and equity of the risks evaluated by Company management on the reporting date for the financial instruments, as recommended by CPC 40 and IFRS 7. Based on the equity position and the notional value of the financial instruments held as of June 30, 2015, it is estimated that these effects will approximate the amounts stated in the above table in the column for the forecast probable scenario, since the assumptions used by the Company are similar to those previously described.

b)    Interest rate and monetary variation risk

This risk comprises the possibility of losses due to fluctuations in interest rates or other indicators, which may reduce financial revenues or increase financial expenses in connection with assets and liabilities on the market.

The Company has not engaged in transactions with derivatives to cover this risk, except for the exclusive investment funds (34.2.3-c), but it has continually monitored interest rates and market indicators, in order to assess the potential need for such transactions for protection for interest rate risks.

Sensitivity analysis of interest rate and monetary variation risk

The Company has developed a sensitivity analysis in order to measure the impact of variable interest rates and monetary variations on its financial assets and liabilities subject to these risks.

79

 


 
 

 

The baseline takes into account the existing balances in each account as of March 31, 2015 and the likely scenario takes into account the indicators:

·         Cash and cash equivalents, bonds and securities, collaterals and escrow accounts: projected CDI/Selic rate of 14,24% based on the LTN reference rate, maturing on January 4, 2016 as disclosed by Bovespa on June 30, 2015;

·         CRC transferred to the State Government of Paraná, net sectorial financial assets, accounts receivable related to the concession, accounts receivable related to the concession extension and financial liabilities: CDI/Selic of 14.50%, IPCA of 8.91%, IGP-DI of 6.37%, IGP-M of 7.48% and TJLP of 6.00%, estimated as market average projections for 2015 according to the Focus Report issued by the Central Bank of Brazil as of June 26, 2015.

For the adverse and remote scenarios, deteriorations of 25% and 50%, respectively, were considered for the main risk factor for the financial instrument compared to the rate used in the likely scenario.

c)    Risk of derivatives

The Company employs derivative financial instruments with the sole purpose of protecting itself against variable interest rate volatility.

In order to protect against the effects of volatility on long exposures (DI interest rates) of bonds and securities, the Company hired future DI rate operations, negotiated at BM&FBOVESPA and registered at CETIP, whose nominal balances and conditions are as follows:

i)      For the period ended June 30, 2015, the result of operations with derivative financial instruments on the futures market was a gain of R$608 (a gain of R$964 on June 2014);

ii)    Contracts are adjusted daily in accordance with the future DI rates published by BM&FBOVESPA. The reference (notional) values of these outstanding contracts as of March 31, 2015 corresponded to R$13,856 (R$64,880 as of December 31, 2014);

On March 31, 2015, a share of the Company’s federal bonds in the amount of R$2,520 (R$6,487 as of December 31, 2014) was deposited as collateral for transactions at BM&FBOVESPA S.A.

    (33) 78 (160) (403)
           
Expected effect in the result     111 (127) (370)

 

35.2.4     35.2.4  Power shortage risk

This risk results from the possibility of periods with low levels of rainfall, since Brazil relies heavily on hydroelectric sources, which depend on the water levels in their reservoirs to operate.

A long period of drought may reduce the water levels in power plant reservoirs and result in losses due to reduced revenues if a new rationing program is implemented.

According to the publication Energy Plan Operation 2014/2018 - PEN 2014, released by the ONS, the hydro energy scenario in 2014 proved to be unfavorable, since the climatic conditions in the rainy season prevented the resumption of stock stored in the reservoirs of Southeast/Central-West and Northeast subsystems.

These factors may have an impact mainly on the short-term earnings (horizon 2015/2016), when the deficit risk in some cases exceed the safety margin established by the National Energy Policy Council - CNPE (maximum risk of 5%).

However, the medium-term valuations (horizon 2015/2018), based on the energy deficit risks to the Reference Scenario indicate suitability for the supply criteria recommended by CNPE, provided that the deficit risks remain below 5% in all subsystems.

81

 


 
 

 

35.2.5     Risk of non-renewal of concessions

Law 12,783/2013 published on January 14, 2013 ruled the extension of energy generation, transmission and distribution concessions covered by articles 17, 19 and 22 of Law 9,074/2015.  However, extension depends on full acceptance of the conditions set by that law.

Four power plants have been affected by Law 12,783/2013: Rio dos Patos with 1.8 MW, Mourão with 8.2 MW, Chopim with 1.8 MW and HPP Governador Pedro Viriato Parigot de Souza with 260 MW of installed capacity.

In order to maintain the Company's current profitability levels, the concessions for these plants have not been extended, given that studies have shown that the conditions imposed by the Concession Authority make the plants not economically feasible. By the end of the concession agreement, these power plants will be put up for auction, and the Company has no guarantee that it will be the winning bidder. Rio dos Patos in turn finished the agreement in February 2014. However, the Company will remain responsible for providing the power plant services until the concessionaire that has won the bidding assumes the enterprise. No date has yet been set for this takeover to happen. Ordinance 170/2014 issued on April 17, 2014 by the Ministry of Mines and Energy established the cost of managing the generation assets of this plant, which will be used to set the annual generation revenue to be earned from rendering this service.

Concession Agreement number 060/2001, which sets rules about transmission facilities, has been extended for 30 more years, according to the conditions established by Law 12,783/2013.  In this case the conditions for making investments arising from contingencies, modernization, renovation and refurbishment of structures and equipment have been kept. These investments will actually be made upon Aneel's recognition and authorization. The guarantee that the regulatory body will reimburse the Company for the works rules out the possibility of financial losses and keeps the Company's current profitability levels.

For the distribution services, the Company has issued a favorable opinion on the extension of Concession Agreement number 046/1999, pursuant to Law 12,783/2013.

On 06.03.2015, there was the publication of Decree 8461, which established the conditions for the renewal of 42 concessions expiring between 2015 and 2017, including the one granted to Copel Distribuição.  According to this decree, those concessions must meet the following criteria: i) effectiveness with respect to the quality of the services rendered; ii) effectiveness with respect to the economic and financial management; iii) operating and economic rationality; and iv) tariff reasonableness.

On 06.10.2015, Public Hearing 038 was established aiming at collecting contributions to enhance the template regarding the addendum to the concession agreement for the extension of the electric power distribution concessions.  The deadline for sending contributions expired on 06.13.2015. The contract draft must be appreciated by Aneel's Executive Board, and thus becoming ready to be entered into by the parties.

The Company believes on the possibility of the concession extension, although it does not have sufficient information to guarantee that the contract for the distribution services will be extended on favorable terms. Extension or lack thereof of the contractual concessions will take place by means of lawful regulatory conditions to be defined and likely to affect the rating, realizing of certain assets or settlement of certain liabilities.

82

 


 
 

 

The chief items exposed to this event are as listed below:

i)      Sectorial financial assets: the portion stated as current may be realized in a term in excess of 12 months, should the concession not be renewed;

ii)    The concession’s financial assets: will depend on Aneel’s appraisal to confirm any sums subject to indemnity or likely to be attributed to a new concession period; and

iii)   Deferred income tax and social contribution: may be realized/settled over a term different from that provided by the Company.

38      Subsequent Event

38.1      Maturity of concessions

Distribution

On 07.07.2015, Concession Agreement 046/1999 expired, under Law 12783/2013. Currently, is awaiting for the decision of the Granting Power for the extension of this agreement. Despite the uncertainty context within the regulatory sphere, the Company relies on the possibility of an extension of the aforementioned concession agreement, although it does not have sufficient information to be assure of its extension in favorable terms (Note 35.2.5).

Generation

On 07.07.2015, the concession of the hydroelectric power plants (UHEs) Governador Pedro Viriato Parigot de Souza - GPS, with 260 MW, Mourão I, with 8.2 MW, and Chopim, with 1.8 MW expired, with no renewal under Law 12783/2013. However, the Company will remain responsible for the service of the power plant until the takeover by the concessionaire that won the bid takes place, date of which has not been yet been defined.   Administrative Rule 189 of 05.08.2015 and Authorizing Resolution 5373 of 07.28.2015 determined the value of the Generation Assets Management Cost - GAC, which will be used for determining the Annual Generation Revenue - RAG, for the rendering of this service.

38.2      Preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the Generation Scaling Factor - GSF

Copel Geração e Transmissão is a party, as plaintiff, to the preliminary injunction rendered on 07.01.2015 by the Court of the 20th. Federal Circuit Court  of Brasília, in an action proposed by the Brazilian Electric Power Independent Generators - Apine, in which it was established that Aneel should refrain from performing the adjustment to the Electric Power Relocation Mechanism - MRE, should there be an MRE total generation at amount below the physical guarantee, for the group of companies related to Apine.  This is a lower-court decision, and an appeal, both at the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel) and Federal Government.

Copel Distribuição is a party, as plaintiff, to a preliminary injunction rendered on 08.04.2015 by the Court of the 17th. Federal Circuit Court, in an action proposed by the Brazilian Association of Electric Power Distributors - Abradee, in which it was defined that the CCEE Board of Directors refrain from attributing to Abradee's affiliates the financial burden of any legal decision they are not a party to, related to the effects of the current GSF values on the hydroelectric generators, as well as enforcing any sanction deriving thereon, up to the judgment of the suit, as that  decision is a lower-court one, and an appeal is admissible both at the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel) and the Federal Government.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

 

 

To the Shareholders and Management

Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL

Curitiba – PR

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL included in the Quarterly Information Forms, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, which include the statement of financial position at June 30, 2015 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods then ended, and the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, including a summary of the significant accounting practices and other notes to the financial statements.

Management is responsible for preparing and presenting these interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Statements and with the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, and for presenting this information in a manner consistent with the norms issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), applicable for preparing Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Extent of our review

We performed our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards for reviewing interim information (NBC TR 2410 – Review of Interim Information Performed by the Entity’s Auditors and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making enquiries, mainly of persons responsible for financial and accounting issues and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The extent of our review is significantly less than that for an audit undertaken in accordance with auditing standards and consequently, did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were informed of all of the significant issues that could be identified during an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

93

 


 
 

 

Unqualified conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that would lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above, have not been prepared, in all material respects, according to CPC Pronouncement 21(R1) and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of quarterly information and have not been disclosed in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other issues

Statements of added value

We also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim statements of added value, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, which are management’s responsibility and presentation of which in the interim statements is required according to the norms issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable for preparing Quarterly Information - ITR and considered supplementary information by the IFRS, which do not require a statement of added value to be reported. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described previously, and based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that would leads us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the interim individual and consolidated financial information taken as a whole.
