Cosan Limited:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management´s annual report on internal control over financial reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2 Basis of preparation

 

2.1 Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The relevant information of the financial statements, and only them, are being evidenced and correspond to those used by management in its management.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2018.

Certain amounts of the comparative balances, in the statements of profit or loss, statements of cash flows and in the notes 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23 and 31, were reclassified to improve the disclosures in the financial statements. These reclassifications had non-significant impacts on the Company´s financial statements.

 

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais. However, the functional currency of Cosan Limited is the U.S. Dollar (U.S.$). The Brazilian Real is the functional currency of Cosan S.A., Cosan Logística, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, located in Brazil, as it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate, generate and expend cash. The main functional currency for the subsidiaries located outside Brazil is U.S. Dollar or the Pound Sterling (GBP).

 

2.3 Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses at the end of the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively. Information about critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

 

    Notes 15 and 16 – Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The Company performs annually a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets with defined useful lives and property, plant and equipment. Also, an impairment test is undertaken for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the different cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated are explained in note 16.

The subsidiary Comgás has an agreement for the public concession of gas distribution service which the Conceding Authority controls what services must be rendered and what prices will be applied, as well as included significant interest in the infrastructure at the end of the concession. This concession agreement represents the right to charge customers for the supply of gas during the effective period of the agreement. Therefore, the Company recognizes this right as intangible assets.

Thus, the infrastructure construction necessary for gas distribution is considered a service to the Grantor and the related revenue is recognized at fair value. Financing costs directly related to construction are also capitalized.

The Company does not recognize a margin on the infrastructure construction.

Subject to approval of the Granting Authority, the Company may request only once the extension of the distribution services for another 20 years. When the concession is terminated, the assets linked to the rendering of gas distribution services will be returned to the Granting Authority, and the Company will be entitled to receive an indemnity to be determined based on assessments and evaluations to be calculated at the time. Currently the figures for compensation are not predetermined or determinable, which is why the Company did not apply the bifurcated model for the accounting of financial assets.

The amortization of intangible assets reflects the pattern expected for the utilization of the future economic benefits by the Company, which corresponds to the useful lives of the assets comprising the infrastructure consonant to the São Paulo State Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency (“ARSESP”) provisions, as disclosed in note 16.

The amortization of the intangible assets is discontinued when the related asset is fully used or written off, and no longer is included in the calculation basis of the tariff for the rendering of the concession services, whichever occurs first.

The subsidiary Rumo has a concession rights generated in the business combination of ALL, which was fully allocated to Rumo Malha Norte concession and amortized on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date on which these are available for use.

 

    Note 18 – Operating lease commitments

The Company contracted commercial leases of locomotives and wagons. The classification of the lease as operational or financial is determined based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the contracts. The Company identified the cases in which it assumes substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the said assets, recording such cases as a financial lease.

 

    Note 23 – Income taxes and social contribution

A deferred tax asset is recognized for loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be generated to realize such losses. Significant judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the timing and the level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies.

 

    Other non-current assets

The subsidiary Comgás has natural gas supply contracts with specific characteristics, such as minimum withdrawal obligations by the Comgás (take or pay for commodity and ship or pay for transportation), that is, if Comgás consumes below contractual obligations, it must make payment of the differences between the volume consumed and the minimum contracted volumes, and may compensate them (through consumption) over the period of validity of the respective contract, provided that consumption exceeds the contracted minimum quantity. In addition, the supplier allows in contractual clause that there is recovery of the volume eventually accumulated for the term of 365 days after the termination of the contracts.

Therefore, it is currently forecast to recover all the cumulative volume since, during the recovery period provided for in the agreement, there will be no new accumulation related to the minimum commitments contracted for this period. Given the recoverable nature of this inventory, the amounts paid and not used were recognized in assets under “Paid and unused transportation”.

 

    Note 32 – Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but when this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in determining fair values. Judgment is required in the determination of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in these variables could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

 

    Note 33 – Post-employment benefits

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment and the present value of the pension obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves the use of various assumptions which may differ from actual results in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. A defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed by management at each reporting date.

 

    Note 34 – Share-based payments

The Company measures employees’ share-based compensation cost by referencing the fair value of the shares at the grant date. The estimation of fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the plan. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the assumption of the expected life of the stock option or stock grant, volatility and dividend yield. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 34.

 

    Note 24 – Provisions for legal proceedings

Provisions for legal proceedings are recognized as other expenses when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

The assessment of probability loss includes the available evidence, hierarchy of laws, jurisprudence, the most recent court decisions and relevance in the legal system, as well as the opinion of outside counsel. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted according to circumstances, such as limitation period, conclusions of tax inspections or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

Provisions for legal proceedings resulting from business combinations are estimated at fair value.

    Note 14—Investment in joint ventures

The Company has a 50% interest in a joint agreement. The joint venture agreements require unanimous consent from all parties for all relevant activities.

The two partners have direct rights to the assets of the partnership and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred by the partnership. This entity is therefore classified as a joint ventures and the Company recognizes its interest in the joint ventures using the equity method as described in Note 14.

Measurement of fair value

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the international standards IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data when available. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

    Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

    Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

 

2.4 Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the consolidated statement of financial position:

 

    financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss;

 

    derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss;

 

    loans measured at fair value through profit or loss;

 

    available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value;

 

    contingent consideration assumed in a business combination;

 

    employee’s defined benefit obligations are presented at the present value of the actuarial obligation net of the fair value of plan assets (Note 33).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

  (a) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.

 

  (b) Non-controlling interests

For each business combination, the Company elects to measure any non-controlling interests in the acquisition either:

 

    at fair value; or

 

    at their proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value.

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners.

 

  (c) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition of control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases to exist. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

 

  (d) Investments in associates (equity method investees)

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.

Under the equity method of accounting, the share attributable to the Company of the profit or loss for the period of such investments is accounted for in the statement of profit or loss, in “Equity in investees”. Unrealized gains and losses arising on transactions between the Company and the investees are eliminated based on the percentage of interest held in such investees. The other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities is recorded directly in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, in “Other comprehensive income”.

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

  (e) Investments in joint ventures (equity method investees)

The Company has interests in joint ventures, in which contractual arrangement establishes joint control over the voting and economic activities of the entity. The contractual arrangements require unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions among the ventures. The Company recognizes its interest in the joint ventures using the equity method (Note 14).

 

  (f) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are similarly eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

 

3.2 Foreign currency

 

  a) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of each subsidiary using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the reporting date.

 

  b) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities derived from foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Brazilian Reais using the exchange rates at the reporting date. Income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Brazilian Reais using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

 

  c) Translation of subsidiaries and associates’ financial statements

These consolidated financial statements have been translated to the Brazilian Real using the following criteria:

 

  (a) assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date;

 

  (b) statement of profit or loss, comprehensive income and statement of cash flows have been translated using the monthly average exchange rate; and

 

  (c) shareholders’ equity has been translated using the historical exchange rate.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Translation effects have been recognized in shareholders’ equity in “Cumulative translation adjustment”.

The consolidated financial statements of each subsidiary included in these consolidated financial statements and equity method investments are prepared based on their respective functional currencies. For subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the Brazilian Real, asset and liability accounts are translated into the Company’s reporting currency using exchange rates in effect at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expense items are translated using monthly average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity has been translated using the historical exchange rate. The resulting translation adjustments are reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity, as cumulative translation adjustment.

The exchange rate of the Brazilian Real (R$) to the U.S. Dollar (U.S.$) was R$ 3.3080 at December 31, 2017, R$ 3.2591 at December 31, 2016 and R$ 3.9048 at December 31, 2015.

 

3.3 Financial instruments

 

  (i) Non-derivative financial assets

The Company initially recognizes loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Company classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables.

 

  a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Company manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, which takes into account any dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  i. Marketable securities

Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than three months at the date of purchase and other securities for which there is more than an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal

  b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash , trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments.

 

  c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the above categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency gain/losses on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

 

    The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

 

    The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement, and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and, to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.

When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of it, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

 

  (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Company initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

The Company classifies non-derivative financial liabilities, except contingent consideration, as other financial liabilities. Such financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, debt securities issued, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

 

  (iii) Share capital

Ordinary shares

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Income taxes relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12.

Preference shares

Non-redeemable preference shares are classified as equity, because they bear discretionary dividends, do not contain any obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets and do not require settlement in a variable number of the Company’s equity instruments. Discretionary dividends thereon are recognized as equity distributions on approval by the Company’s shareholders.

Mandatory minimum dividends as defined in the bylaws are recognized as liabilities.

 

(iv) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if:

 

  (a) The economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related;

 

  (b) A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and

 

  (c) The combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

On initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80% – 125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that ultimately could affect reported profit or loss.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value; any attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below:

 

    Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is retained in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the non-financial item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

    Fair value hedge

Changes in fair value of derivatives, that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge, are recorded in the statement of profit or loss, with any changes in fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Company applies hedge accounting for fair value hedges to protect itself against the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on loans. The gain or loss related to the effective portion of interest rate swaps to protect against fixed rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as “Financial expenses”. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as “Other gains (losses), net”. Changes in fair value of fixed rate borrowings hedged attributable to interest rate risk are recognized in the statement of profit or loss as “Financial expenses”.

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the method of effective interest rate is used, is amortized to income over the period to maturity.

 

    Embedded derivatives

Changes in the fair value of separated embedded derivatives are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

    Other derivative financial instruments

When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship and does not qualify for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

3.4 Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of average cost of acquisition or production and net realizable value, whichever the less.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Provisions for slow-moving or obsolete inventory are recorded when deemed necessary by management. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs.

 

3.5 Property, plant and equipment

 

  (a) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of constructed assets includes:

 

    the cost of materials and direct labor;

 

    any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use;

 

    an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, when the Company has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site; and

 

    capitalized borrowing costs.

Cost also includes transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.

When components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item, is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  (i) Reclassification to investment property

When the use of a property changes from held to use to investment property, the property is remeasured at fair value and reclassified as investment property. Any gain or loss arising on this remeasurement is recognized in equity.

 

  (ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

  (iii) Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date they are available for use or, in respect of constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.

Depreciation is calculated on the carrying value of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is generally recognized in profit or loss, unless it is capitalized as part of the cost of another asset. Assets recognized under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

   4% to 5%

Machinery, equipment and facilities

   8% to 11%

Airplanes, vessels and vehicles

   10% to 20%

Railcars

   2.9% to 6%

Locomotives

   3.33% to 8%

Permanent railways

   4%

Furniture and fixtures

   10% to 15%

Computer equipment

   20%

Costs of normal periodic maintenance are recorded as expenses when incurred when the components will not improve the production capacity or introduce improvements to the equipment.

Depreciation methods such as useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each year-end, or when there is significant change without an expected consumption pattern, such as relevant incident and technical obsolescence. Any adjustments are recognized as changes in accounting estimates, if appropriate.

 

3.6 Intangible assets and goodwill

 

  (a) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. With respect to equity method investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity method investee as a whole.

 

  (b) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have a finite life are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

  (c) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

  (d) Amortization

Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use or acquired.

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

 

  (e) Contracts with customers

Costs incurred on development of gas systems for new clients (including pipelines, valves, and general equipment) are recognized as intangible assets and amortized over the contract period.

  (f) Intangible assets related to the concession rights agreement

The Company has a public concession agreement for a gas distribution service in which the Concession Authority controls what services will be provided and the price, as well it holds a significant participation in the infrastructure at the end of the concession. This concession agreement represents the right to charge users for gas supply during the term of the agreement. Accordingly, the Company recognizes this right as an intangible asset

The intangible asset comprises: (i) the concession right recognized upon the business combination of Comgás, which is being amortized over the concession period on a straight line basis, considering the extension of the distribution services for another 20 years; and (ii) the acquired or constructed assets underlying the concession necessary for the distribution of gas, which is being depreciated to match the period over which the future economic benefits of the asset are expected to accrue to the Company, or the final term of the concession, whatever occurs first. This period reflects the economic useful lives of each of the underlying assets that comprise the concession. This economic useful life is also used by the regulator, The Natural Gas Agency of the State of São Paulo, to determine the basis for measuring the tariff for rendering the services under the concession.

The concession agreement was signed on May 31, 1999 with an initial term of 30 years. Subject to approval of the Conceding Authority, the Company may request only once the extension of the distribution services for another 20 years. When the concession is terminated, the assets linked to the rendering of gas distribution services will be returned to the Conceding Authority, and the Company will be entitled to receive an indemnity to be determined based on assessments and evaluations considering the book values to be calculated at the time.

The concession contract determines that the tariff charged by Comgás be reviewed annually, in May, with the aim to realign the tariff charged to consumers to the cost of the gas and adjust for inflation.

Once the concession is terminated, the Company has the right to request the reversion to the Granting Authority of the assets and facilities linked to the gas distribution service. Currently, the amounts related to indemnification are not pre-established or determinable, that’s why the Company did not apply the bifurcated model for the accounting of the financial asset.

Concession rights generated in the business combination of ALL was fully allocated to the Rumo Malha Norte concession and amortized on a straight-line basis.

 

3.7 Impairment

 

  (i) Non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an equity-accounted investee, is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

  (a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investment securities. If, in a subsequent period, the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

 

  (b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the accumulated losses recorded in equity to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortization, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss recognized previously in profit or loss.

 

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, except investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to Companies of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized for CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.8 Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

 

3.9 Employee benefits

 

    Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed when the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay these amounts as a result of past services provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

 

    Share-based payment transactions

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees with respect to share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the cash payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized as employee benefit expenses in profit or loss.

The accounting for modification on plans depends on whether the modification changes the classification of the arrangement and whether the changes are beneficial to the counterparty.

If a modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, then the entity recognizes the fair value of the additional equity instruments measured at the date of modification. The additional share-based payment cost is attributed over the period from the date of modification to the end of the vesting period of the additional equity instruments.

Cancellations or settlements of equity-settled share-based payments during the vesting period by the entity or by the counterparty are accounted for as accelerated vesting; therefore, the amount that would otherwise have been recognized for services received is recognized immediately.

 

    Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that is due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.

 

    Defined benefit plans

The Company is the sponsor of defined benefit pension plans for some of its employees. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plans other than a defined contribution plan.

The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using interest rates that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

Gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service costs.

Some of the Company’s pension plan, even though it is substantially defined contribution, has a variable component, whose risk is linked to the payment of minimum benefit and to the increase of the future contributions of the sponsors in the benefits in the event of Death Tax of the active taxpayer as well as in Disability Retirement, limited to three salaries. Any actuarial liability calculated, is recorded by the Company.

 

    Other long-term employee benefit

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than pension plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date of the financial statements for the high credit quality bonds, and maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

3.10 Revenue

 

  (a) Sales of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods, in the ordinary course of business, is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

 

  (b) Services rendered

Revenues from services are recognized when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, when the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably, as well as when its amount and related costs can be measured reliably. Service prices are established based on service orders or contracts. Services for which payment is made in advance are recorded as deferred revenue in other liabilities and recognized in revenue when the services are rendered.

The Company revenue recognizes revenue as follows:

 

    Billed revenue

Revenue from gas distribution services is recognized when its amount can be reliably measured, and is recognized in profit or loss when the volumes are delivered to customers.

 

    Unbilled revenue

Unbilled gas refers to the portion of gas supplied for which metering and billing to customers have not yet occurred. This amount is estimated based on the period between measurement and the last day of the month.

The actual volume billed may be different from estimates. The Company believes that, based on its historical experience with similar operation, the unbilled estimated amount will not significantly differ from actual amounts.

 

    Concession construction revenue

The construction of the infrastructure necessary for gas distribution is considered a construction service rendered to the Conceding Authority, and the related income is recognized in profit or loss at finishing stage of the work.

Construction costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the construction activity at the end of the reporting period, and are included in cost of sales.

 

  (c) Deferred revenue

The Company´s deferred revenue consists in advances received from clients seeking investment in fixed assets in return for a rail service contract requiring future performance of services by the Company.

 

3.11 Government grants

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. The indirect subsidiary Rumo Malha Norte has a fiscal incentive whose benefit includes a reduction of 75% on income tax based on operation profit beginning in 2008 until 2024.

3.12 Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date.

 

  a) Leased assets

Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the Company’s statement of financial position.

 

  b) Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

The amounts paid in advance by the Company are recorded as assets and allocated in income linearly during the term of the contract. The expenses incurred during the grace period are recorded in income and maintained as payables, being written off in proportion to the payment of current installments.

 

3.13 Finance income and finance expense

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, fair value gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, gains on the remeasurement to fair value of any pre-existing interest in an acquire in a business combination, gains on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss and reclassifications of net gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

Finance expense comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and deferred consideration, losses on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, dividends on preference shares classified as liabilities, fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and contingent consideration, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables), losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss and reclassifications of net losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether the net foreign currency fluctuations result in a gain or loss position.

3.14 Taxes

Income taxes are comprised of income tax and social contribution at a combined rate of 34%. Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Certain subsidiaries measure income tax and social contribution due under the Brazilian presumed profits regime. The presumed profit came up from a percentage of 32% of operating revenues. Under the aforementioned regime the applicable tax rate is for income tax is 15% over the presumed profit, plus an additional 10% when operating revenues exceed of R$ 240, and 9% over the presumed profit for social contribution.

 

  a) Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

  b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and tax loss. Deferred tax is not recognized for:

 

    temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

 

    temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

 

    taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For investment property that is measured at fair value, the presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale has not been rebutted.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for loss carryforwards, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be generated in the future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and written off to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

  c) Sales taxes

Net revenue is recognized net of discounts and sales taxes.

  d) Tax exposures

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

 

3.15 Cash flow

 

    Non-cash transaction

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company made the following transactions not involving cash and therefore not reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

 

  (i) Forward purchase of property, plant and equipment in the amount of R$105,102.

 

    Disclosure of interest and dividends

 

  (i) The Company disclosures the dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity received as cash flow from investing activities, with the purpose of avoiding distortions in its cash flows from operation activities.

 

  (ii) Interest received or paid is classified as cash flow from financing activities, as it is considered to refer to the costs of obtaining financial resources.

 

4 New standards and interpretations not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2018 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

  a) Estimated impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9

The Company estimated the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15—Revenue from Contract with Customers and IFRS 9—Financial Instruments on equity on January 1, 2018, based on valuations carried out up to the date of issuance these statements. The actual impacts of adopting the standards on January 1, 2018 may be different as the Company did not finalize the testing and evaluation of controls on these new standards and the new accounting policies are subject to change until the Company presents its first statements including the date of initial application.

The main components of the estimated adjustment are as follows:

 

  i) recognition of incremental costs to obtain contract and customer payment to be paid; and

 

  ii) impairment losses on financial assets.

 

  b) IFRS 15—Customer Contract Revenue

IFRS 15 has as the fundamental principle the recognition of revenue when the goods or services are transferred to the customer at the transaction price. Revenue is recognized according to this principle by applying a 5-step model:

 

    Step 1: Identify the contracts with the client;

 

    Step 2: Identify the performance obligations defined in the contract;

 

    Step 3: Determine the price of the transaction;

 

    Step 4: Allocate the price of the transaction to the performance obligations provided for in the agreement; and

 

    Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity meets each performance obligation.

IFRS 15 introduces a comprehensive framework to determine whether and when revenue is recognized, and how much revenue is measured. IFRS 15 replaces current revenue recognition standards.

The Company recognizes revenues from the following main sources:

 

  (i) Sale of products

The Company recognizes the sales revenues on delivery to the customer, considered as the moment when the customer accepts the goods and the risks and benefits related to the property are transferred. Revenue is recognized at this time as long as revenue and costs can be measured reliably, receipt of the consideration is probable and there is no continuous involvement of management with the products.

In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue must be recognized when the customer obtains control of the products. For contracts with customers where the sale is generally expected to be the only execution obligation, the adoption of IFRS 15 should have no impact on revenue and results. The Company expects revenue recognition to occur at a time when control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually at the time of delivery of the goods.

The Company operates in the production and distribution of lubricants of the brands Mobil and Comma, production and commercialization of biomass pellets. Products are sold on their own account in contracts identified and separated with customers and in sets, as a package of goods and / or services.

Some lubricant sales contracts cannot be purchased separately from a package of services, however, the goods and services are clearly distinct and discriminated against in the context of the contracts. This sales modality represents two separate performance obligations and therefore revenue will be recognized for each of these performance obligations when the control of the respective goods and services is transferred to the customer. Although IFRS 15 requires that the transaction price be allocated to different performance obligations based on the independent selling price, Management does not expect the allocation of revenues from the sale of lubricants and the services rendered to be significantly different from that currently practiced, revenues are identified, measured and recorded separately.

 

  (ii) Services provided

The Company provides gas distribution services through the subsidiary Comgás and logistics services through the subsidiary Cosan Logística. Based on the Company’s assessment, the fair value and selling prices of individual services are broadly similar. Therefore, the Company does not expect the application of IFRS 15 to result in significant differences in the recognition of revenue for these services.

 

  (iii) Other effects

 

  a) Incremental cost to obtain contract

The Company has identified certain lubricant sales agreements that have commission clauses that are under evaluation that are included as incremental costs for their acquisition and which are expressly chargeable to the customer. In the evaluation of the Company, when IFRS 15 is adopted, certain contracts may be recognized as an asset related to the incremental costs to obtain a customer agreement and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to the customers which the asset refers. On December 31, 2017, the amount of R$ 39,275 related to sales commissions was recognized.

The Company was presenting expenses related to contracts as sales expenses

  b) Disposal of non-financial assets

The recognition and measurement requirements in IFRS 15 also apply to the recognition and measurement of any gains or losses on the disposal of non-financial assets (such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets), when such disposal does not occur in the normal course of business operations. In transition, however, there is no expectation that the effect of these changes will be material to the Company.

 

  (iv) Presentation and disclosure requirements

The presentation and disclosure requirements in IFRS 15 are more detailed than in the current IFRS. The presentation requirements represent a significant change from the current practice and significantly increase the volume of disclosures required in the Company’s financial statements. Many of the disclosure requirements of IFRS 15 are new and the Company has assessed that the impact of some of them will be significant. In particular, the Company expects the explanatory notes to the financial statements to be expanded due to the disclosure of significant judgments made: at what time to determine the transaction price of those contracts that include a variable consideration, as the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligation and the assumptions used to estimate the individual selling prices of each performance obligation. In addition, as required by IFRS 15, the Company will disaggregate the recognized revenues from contracts with customers whom have components of sale of goods and services. In 2017, the Company continued to test the internal controls, policies and procedures required to collect and disclose the information required.

 

  (v) Transition

The Company plans to adopt IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method, with initial application of the standard at the initial date (in January 1, 2018). As a result, the Company will not apply the requirements of IFRS 15 to the comparative period presented.

The Company plans to use the practical files for concluded contracts. This means that completed contracts that have commenced and ended in the same comparative presentation period, as well as contracts that are contracts concluded at the beginning of the earliest period presented, will not be resubmitted.

The Company is currently conducting a detailed impact assessment resulting from the application of IFRS 15 and expects no significant impacts in the financial statements.

 

  c) IFRS 9—Financial Instruments

In July 2016, the IASB International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version IFRS 9—Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39—Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IAS 39. The new standard brings together the three aspects of the project for the accounting of financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, without prior application permission. With the exception of hedge accounting, retrospective application is necessary, but providing comparative information is not mandatory. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited exceptions.

The Company plans to adopt the new standard on the effective date required and will not restate comparative information. In 2017, the Company conducted a detailed impact assessment of the three aspects of IFRS 9. This evaluation is based on information currently available and may be subject to changes arising from reasonable and bearable information being made available by the Company in 2018, when it adopts IFRS 9. In general, the Company does not foresee any significant impact on the financial statements and shareholders’ equity, except for the effect of applying the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. The Company expects an increase in loss provisions resulting in a negative impact on shareholders’ equity as discussed below. In addition, the Company will implement changes in the classification of certain financial instruments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

  i) Classification and measurement of financial assets

The Company does not expect a significant impact on its balance sheet or equity in applying the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9. We expect to continue to measure at fair value all financial assets currently held at fair value. Equity instruments, currently held for sale, with gains and losses recorded in profit or loss, will maintain measurement at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans and receivables are held by the Company to obtain contractual cash flows and should generate cash flows representing only payments of principal and interest. The Company analyzed the contractual cash flow characteristics of these instruments and concluded that they meet the amortized cost criteria in accordance with IFRS 9. Therefore, the reclassification to these instruments will not result in impacts on the balance sheet and equity.

The Company has assessed the impacts of gains and losses on financial liabilities attributable to its own risk and has not identified deviations that will result in an accounting for comprehensive income.

 

  ii) Impairment – Financial Assets and Contractual Assets

IFRS 9 requires the Company to record the expected credit losses on all of its debt securities and trade accounts receivable, whether in 12 months or throughout life. However, the Company has adopted the simplified approach and will measure the expected credit losses for a lifetime because the trade accounts receivable and contractual assets do not present a significant financing component. The provision will be determined by applying the percentage of expected losses on the financial assets to the overdue and overdue loans that may impact the amount of provisioning expense for losses.

The estimated losses were calculated based on the actual experience of credit loss in recent years, observing the current conditions and the forecast of future economic conditions.

The Company holds investments in debt instruments classified as Securities, which are part of investment fund quotas measured at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, no credit risk analysis of these assets is required.

 

  iii) Hedge accounting

The Company has determined that all existing hedge relationships currently designated in effective hedging relationships will continue to qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The Company has elected not to retrospectively apply IFRS 9 in the transition to the hedges where the Company excluded the items of progress of the hedge designation in accordance with IAS 39. As IFRS 9 does not change the general principles of how an entity responds to effective hedges, the application of the requirements of hedge of IFRS 9 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

  iv) Other adjustments

In addition to the adjustments described above, in the adoption of IFRS 9, other items in the financial statements, such as deferred taxes, assets held for sale and liabilities associated with them, investments in associates and joint ventures will be adjusted as necessary. Foreign exchange differences in the conversion of foreign operations will also be adjusted.

  d) IFRS 16 Leases

It introduces a single model for the accounting of leases in the balance sheet for tenants. A lessee recognizes a right of use asset that represents his right to use the leased asset and a lease liability that represents his obligation to make lease payments. Optional exemptions are available for short-term leases and low value items. The lessor’s accounting remains similar to the current standard, that is, lessors continue to classify leases as financial or operating.

IFRS 16 replaces existing lease standards, including IAS 17 Leasing Operations and IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27 Complementary Aspects of Leasing Operations.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted only for financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and only for entity that applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

The Company began an initial assessment of the potential impact on its financial statements. So far, the most significant impact identified is that the subsidiary Rumo will recognize new assets and liabilities for its operating leases. In the jointly-owned subsidiary Raízen, it is expected to have significant impacts on land leases. In addition, the nature of the expenses related to these leases will be changed, since IFRS 16 replaces the line operating lease expense due to depreciation of the right of use and interest on the lease liabilities. The Company has not yet decided whether to use the optional exemptions.

As a lessee, the Company may apply the standard using a:

- Retrospective approach; or

- Modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

The lessee will apply this choice consistently to all of its leases. The Company should apply IFRS 16 initially on January 1, 2019. The Company has not yet determined which transition approach to apply.

The Company has not yet quantified the impact of adopting IFRS 16 on its assets and liabilities. The quantitative effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 will depend specifically on the transition method chosen, the use of practical files and recognition exemptions, and any additional leases that the Company will enter into. The Company expects to disclose its transition approach and quantitative information prior to adoption.

There are no other IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations that have not come into effect and are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

There are no other IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations that have not come into effect and are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

 

  e) IFRIC 22 — Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

IFRIC states that the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate should be the date on which the entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or liability arising from the payment or early receipt.

This interpretation takes effect for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The initial adoption is permitted retrospectively, or prospectively.

Management conducted the analysis of the impacts of the initial adoption of IFRIC 22 and considered them to be immaterial. Thus, it is still under analysis if the adoption will be carried out prospectively or retrospectively.

There are no other CPC / IFRS standards or ICPC / IFRIC interpretations that have not come into effect and are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

5    Operating segments

The following segment information is used by Cosan’s senior management (the “Chief Operating Decision Maker”) to assess the performance of the operating segments and to make decisions with regards to the allocation of resources. This information is prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Cosan evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on the measure of Earnings Before Interest Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”). A reconciliation of EBITDA to profit (loss) is presented below.

Reported segments

(i)    Raízen Energia: production and marketing of a variety of products derived from sugar cane, including raw sugar (VHP), anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and activities related to energy cogeneration from sugarcane bagasse. In addition, this segment holds interests in companies engaged in research and development on new technology;

(ii)    Raízen Combustíveis: distribution and marketing of fuels, mainly through a franchised network of service stations under the brand Shell throughout Brazil;

10 Other financial assets

Sale of credit rights

The Company recorded credit rights in the amount of R$ 426,438 as other assets and the respective legal fees in the amount of R$ 51,173 as other liabilities. In 2017, the requirements of the accounting policy were achieved and for that reason the credit right in the net amount of taxes of R$ 306,151 was recognized in the line of “other income”, with impact on cash flow statements.

In addition, the Company has additional claims to those mentioned above, which, because they are considered probable, were not recorded as representing contingent assets.

On December 21, 2017, there was a sale of credit rights related to the assets recorded in the balance sheet and also the contingent assets in the amount of R$ 1,340,000 (“purchase price”), arising from certain lawsuits, aiming at condemning the Union as a result of the fixing of sugar and alcohol prices below their cost of production. In addition to the acquisition price, the Company will be entitled to additional payments related to these receivables, provided that the result is positive. The additional payment will be calculated by applying 95% on the difference between the net value received from the Union credit rights by the transferee minus the return of the assignees and recognized in the results only upon receipt.

As a result of the sale of receivables, we had the following impacts:

 

  (a) Financial discount recognized as financial expense in the amount of R$ 251,648 arising from the difference between the assignment of these rights for the amount of R$ 460,974 and the amount of assets previously recognized of R$ 712,622;

 

  (b) Gain on the sale of credit rights net of tax and obligations in the amount of R$ 733,815 recorded as other revenues and. with impact on cash flow statements.

14 Investments in joint ventures

The Company entered into an agreement to form two joint ventures, accounting for 50% of the economic benefits of the companies. They are:

 

  (i) Raízen Combustíveis which owns a network of, more than 6,027 fuel service stations throughout Brazil, 67 distribution terminals and 64 airports terminals for supplying aviation fuel; and

 

  (ii) Raízen Energia, which produces and sells sugar, and ethanol and renders electric energy cogeneration services, the latter mainly from sugar cane bagasse. Raízen Energia is responsible for the production of, approximately, 2 billion liters of ethanol per year to supply the domestic and foreign market, 4.2 million tons of sugar and 940 MW of installed capacity of electricity. Raízen Energia cultivates harvests and processes sugar cane—the main raw material used in the production of sugar and ethanol.

Cosan has joint control over Raízen Combustíveis and Raízen Energia by virtue of its 50% share in the equity of both companies and the requirement for unanimous consent by all shareholders over decisions related to the significant activities. The investments have been classified as joint ventures under IFRS 11 and therefore the equity method of accounting is used for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Changes to investments in joint ventures were as follows:

Impairment testing of cash-generating units (“CGU”) goodwill

 

  a) Cosan Logistics

The Company annually tests recoverable amounts of goodwill arising from business combination operations. Property, plant and equipment and defined-intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For the purposes of impairment analysis, concession contracts were defined as cash-generating units. The base date for evaluation and annual testing is September 30.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we did not identify impairment indicators, so that no impairment test was required for fixed assets and intangible assets with a defined useful life.

The balance of goodwill recorded by the Company is associated with the port lifting operation and terminals, so this cash-generating unit needs to be tested annually.

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit was determined by the net sales value of the unit, using the EBITDA multiples technique.

The main assumptions used were (i) EBITDA generated by the cash-generating unit in 2017, and (ii) the average of the multiples practiced by market agents for companies in the Company’s industry.

The calculation resulted in a recoverable amount of R$ 1,709,000, compared to a book value of R$ 811,618, which includes property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

In the year ended December 31, 2017, no assets and goodwill had their consolidated value reduced by impairment. The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above that are influenced by the market, technological, and economic conditions in place at the time this recovery is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new losses by recovery will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether these would be material.

 

  b) Cosan S.A

The Company annually tests recoverable amounts of goodwill (intangible assets with indefinite useful lives) arising from business combinations operations. Property, plant and equipment and defined-intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, which is not the case for the year.

The combined carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each cash-generating unit are as follows:

 

     Consolidated  
     December 31,
2017
     December 31,
2016

Total goodwill

     751,434        614,808  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The recoverable amount is determined based on calculations of the value in use, using the discounted cash flow determined by Management based on budgets that take into account the assumptions related to each business, using information available in the market and previous performance. Discounted cash flows were drawn up over a ten-year period and carried forward in perpetuity without considering a real growth rate. Management understands the use of periods greater than five years in the preparation of discounted cash flows as it reflects the estimated time of use of the asset and business groups.

The main assumptions used mainly consider the expectation of growth of the operations based on the Gross Domestic Product segmented, as well as taking into account the levels of average growth experienced in the last years and other macroeconomic aspects, as well as expectation of the price of sales of commodities, using discount rates that reflect specific business-related risks.

All of these future cash flows were discounted at a rate of 10.4% (weighted-average cost of capital) and a growth rate of the final value of 4% from 2027 reflecting specific risks related to the relevant assets in its cash generating unit.

An increase of 6.3 percentage points in the discount rate should change so that the estimated recoverable amount is equal to the book value. The dollar has an impact on projections and, therefore, a fluctuation of in exchange rate would have an effect on the estimate.

As of December 31, 2017 no expense for impairment of assets and goodwill was recognized. The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above that are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions in place at the time that such recovery is tested, and therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new reduction losses of recovery will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether these would be material.

Court Discussion

The Company is challenging in court the economic and financial unbalance of certain leases and concession contracts.

In April 2004, Rumo Malha Paulista filed an interlocutory injunction and subsequently Declaratory Action before the 21st Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro questioning the economic and financial unbalance of the Lease and Concession Agreements, due to the high disbursement incurred by the Company for the payment of labor judicial proceedings and other expenses involved, which are the responsibility of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., as provided in the bidding documents.

Rumo Malha Paulista required an injunction to suspend payment of installments due of the concession and lease agreements and to offset the credit balance resulting from labor amounts paid by Rumo with the amount charged by the Union. In April 2005, the injunction was granted, suspending the enforceability of installments for 90 days by determining the completion of expertise. In July 2005, the suspension was extended for another 90 days. In September 2005, the injunction was overturned by the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. In January 2006, the suspension of payment of installments was granted, by means of judicial deposit. The amount related to the lease payment was deposited in court until October 2007, when the Company obtained a court order to replace the judicial deposits with a bank guarantee. In October 2015, a decision was handed down that partially upheld the action recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial balance of the agreements, allowing the Company to perform the part of compensation of the amounts claimed in the match against presented debt. Nevertheless, the Company believes that all amounts discussed shall be offset against payables based on clauses 7 and 10 of the bidding documents.

Management, supported by the opinion of its legal counsel, assesses the chances of success as probable, but the financial liability remains recognized as it is a contractual obligation not yet discharged and still depend on offsetting with the Company’s reimbursement rights.

Rumo Malha Oeste also claiming the reestablishment of the economic-financial balance, lost by the cancellation of transportation contracts at the time of privatization, change in the regulatory environment and conditions set forth in the Privatization Tender—additionally, the growth forecasts that defined the value of the business did not materialize. The lawsuit is filed with the 16th Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. To proceed with the legal discussion, the Company offered government securities (Treasury Bills—LFT) as an execution guarantee. In March 2008, the Company was authorized to replace the guarantee by a bank guarantee and in May 2008, the Company redeemed the treasury bills. In December 2014, a decision was handed down that upheld the action recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial balance of the contracts, with the amounts involved and certain related aspects still to be determined. In December 2015, the replacements of guarantee letters presented by Rumo were replaced with an insurance policy.

Management, supported by the opinion of its legal counsel, assesses the chances of success as probable, but the financial liability remains recognized as it is a contractual obligation not yet discharged and must still be offset against the company’s right to be reimbursed.

The tariffs for the supply of gas to the different customer segments are authorized by the concession authority. In accordance with the terms of the Concession Agreement, the differences between the cost component of gas included in the tariffs charged to the customers and the actual cost of gas incurred are determined on a monthly basis and charged or credited to a regulation account (regulatory account).

Periodically, charges or credits in the tariffs are determined by the regulator with the objective of amortizing the amounts accumulated in this account.

The balance of this account is considered as an asset or as a liability, pursuant to the regulator’s set of accounts and for income tax purposes. However, this account is not recognized under IFRS, because the respective balance is not considered as an asset or as a liability, as its realization or liquidation depends on further purchases by the Company’s consumers.

There is no deadline for the use of tax loss carryforwards and negative bases, but the use of these accumulated losses of previous years is limited to 30% of annual taxable profits.

(i) During the period from October 2003 to November 2006, the Company, through its subsidiary CLE, offset the FINSOCIAL tax against several other federal taxes, based on a final court decision in September 2003 following a decision that challenged the constitutionality of the FINSOCIAL. No judicial deposits were made.
(ii) The amounts that have been provisioned refer to tax assessments by the tax authorities related to several types of ICMS credits. Amongst them: (a) assessment notice related to ICMS payments for the purchase of raw materials which are considered for “use and consumption”, therefore, not eligible for compensation; (b) assessment, as sole obligor, for withholding of ICMS on tolling agreement from an agricultural partnership with Central Paulista Ltda. Açúcar e Álcool; (c) assessment notice related to the ICMS offset arising from the fact that the forward presumed profit is bigger than the consummated profit, under tributary substitution regime.
(iii) The amounts that have been provisioned are mainly related to social security contributions levied on company´s earnings, pursuant to Article 22-A of the 8.212/91 Law, which are being challenged on the grounds of constitutionality. Judicial deposits have been made for the corresponding amounts.

(i) In summary, these demands relate basically:

 

    Tax assessments issued against the Company for unpaid ICMS and non-compliance with accessory obligations, in connection with the agricultural and industrial tolling services partnership in specified periods between May and December of 2006 and 2007. In these cases the company is jointly and severally liable;

 

    ICMS levied on the remittances for the export of crystallized sugar, which the Company understands are tax exempt. However, the tax authorities classify crystallized sugar as a semi-finished product, which is therefore subject to ICMS;

 

    ICMS withholding rate differences on the sale of ethanol to companies located in other states, which subsequently had their tax registrations revoked;

 

    Disallowance of ICMS tax credits on the sale of diesel fuel to customers engaged in the agro industrial business.

 

    ICMS payments on inventory differences arising from erroneous calculations by the State Tax Administration;

 

    ICMS related to the fiscal war between the states;

 

    The subsidiary CLE has been discussing administratively the ICMS tax credits arising from the transfer of excess credits to its centralizing unit in the period from May 2012 to January 2013.

 

    The State Tax Administration assessed the rail concessions for non-taxation of ICMS on invoices for the provision of rail freight services for export. There is a favorable position for taxpayers in the higher courts; and

 

    Assessment from State Tax Administration of São Paulo on the grounds that the Company was not authorized to operate as a general warehouse in that state. At the time of the release of the state registration, the tax authorities allowed the Company’s activities, including issuance of invoices.

Tax assessment notice issued by the São Paulo State Treasury Department, against Rumo Malha Paulista, covering the period from February 2011 to July 2015, with the indication of infractions for alleged lack of payment of ICMS on railroad services for export and ICMS credits accrual considered undue.

 

(ii) Tax assessment notices issued requiring additional income tax, social contribution, PIS and COFINS, for the calendar years 2005 to 2008 as a result of the following alleged violations: (a) improper exclusion of financial costs arising from loans with foreign financial institutions from the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis, (b) improper exclusion of financial income from securities issued by the Government of Austria and the Government of Spain from the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis (c) no inclusion, in the corporate income tax and social contribution calculation basis, of gains earned in swap operations, and non-taxation of financial income resulting from these contracts by PIS and COFINS, (d) improper offsetting from corporate income tax and the social contribution calculation basis by using PIS and COFINS credits.

A favorable decision in the Administrative Court (CARF) may change its classification for remote losses.

(iii) The Company, and its controlled companies, received assessment notices based on the following: (a) tax benefits that arose from the deduction of goodwill amortization, (b) exchange variation and interest incurred as the tax authorities understand that the corporate transactions carried out were intended to postpone the settlement of debt contracted abroad through the issuance of Perpetual Bonds, in order to reduce Positive result of exchange variation, and (c) the subsidiary Comgás was known of the no recognition of the offsetting procedures made in 2015, using income taxes credits (IRPJ);

 

(iv) Refers mainly to the reversal of PIS and COFINS credits, provided by Laws 10.637/2002 and 10.833/2003, respectively. Those reversals arise from a differing interpretation of the laws by the tax authorities in relation to raw materials. These discussions are still at the administrative level.

Tax authorities assessed the Rumo Malha Paulista for non-taxation of PIS and COFINS on revenues from mutual traffic and rite of passage billed against Rumo Malha Norte. The chance of loss is considered possible as tax already has been collected by the concessionaire responsible for transporting from origin.

 

(v) The subsidiary CLE received an assessment notice related to the withholding income tax on an alleged capital gain arising from the acquisition of assets of foreign companies.

The subsidiary Comgás received an assessment notice related to the withholding income tax on an alleged capital gain of a former shareholder due to contractual arrangements.

Rumo Malha Paulista had part of its IRPJ credit balance glossed based on the argument that the Company would not be entitled to IRRF compensation on swap transactions.

 

(vi) The legal proceeding related to INSS payment with possible unfavorable outcome involve the following: (a) the legality and constitutionality questioning Normative Instruction MPS/SRP Nº 03/2005, which restricted the constitutional immunity over social contributions on export revenues through direct sales, consistent with the manner exports made via trading companies are now taxed; (b) assessment of SENAR (Rural apprenticeship scheme) social contribution on direct and indirect exports, in which the tax authorities disregard the right to constitutional immunity;

 

(vii) Legal demands related to the SRF Normative Instruction no. 67/98 that allowed for the refunding of IPI tax payments for sales of refined sugar from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997.

 

(viii) Tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Tax Authority in 2011 and 2013 against Rumo S.A. concerning: (a) amortization expense disallowance based on future profitability, as well as financial expenses; and (b) non-taxation of supposed capital gain on disposal of equity interest in a Company of the same group.

 

(ix) The Company was assessed due to the disregard of the tax benefits of REPORTO (PIS and COFINS suspension), on the grounds that the locomotives and freight cars purchased in 2010 were used outside the limits area of the port. Therefore, the Company was assessed to pay PIS and COFINS, as well as an isolated fine corresponding to 50% of the value of acquired assets.

 

(x) SRF Normative Instruction no. 67/98 allowed for the refunding of IPI tax payments for sales of refined sugar from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997. Consequently, the Company applied for the offsetting of amounts paid during the periods against other tax liabilities. However, the tax authorities denied its application for both the reimbursement and offsetting of these amounts. The Company has challenged this ruling in an administrative proceeding.

 

(xi) The Tax Authority partially rejected the Company requests for payment of its federal tax debts, pursuant to provisional measure n. 470 (MP 470), on the ground that the tax loss offered is not sufficient to settle the respective debts. The likelihood of loss is considered as possible since the results are indicated existed and are available for such use.

 

(xii) Decrease related to favorable decisions from administrative sphere.

Civil, labor, regulatory and environmental

 

  a) Judicial claims deemed to be probable losses, fully accrued

 

    Civil – refers mainly to compensation for material and moral damages, class actions for abstaining from straw burning sugarcane and execution of environmental nature.

 

    Labor – represent labor claims filed by former employees and employees of service providers who question, among others, payment of overtime, night and dangerous, job reinstatement, compensation for accidents at work and reimbursement of discounts from payroll, such as confederative and assistance contributions, union dues and other.

 

    Regulatory – mainly refers to fines and discussions with National Authority for Terrestrial Transport (ANTT).

 

    Environmental – these amounts derive from assessments made by the Environmental Sanitation Technology Company (CETESB-SP), Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA) and Environment Municipal Departments related to soil contamination and water by the overflow of products and non-compliance with conditions imposed by such operating license. In all cases, measures are being taken to reduce the existing liabilities, as well as repair and prevention measures.

For the civil actions, management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, assessed the circumstances and recorded provisions for probable losses in sufficient and adequate amounts, representing, at the balance sheet date, its best estimate of disbursement that may be required to settle the claims.

 

25 Preferred shareholders payable in subsidiaries

The Company contributed all of its common shares issued by Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis and debts, net of financial resources, in the amount of R$ 1,979,519, represented by debentures and working capital, to the subsidiary Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A. (“CIP”).

27 Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share has been made by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company and held as treasury shares (Note 26).

The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been made by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent, adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares at subsidiaries by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company and held as treasury shares (Note 26). The Company’s subsidiaries have two categories of potential dilutive effects: share options and put options. For the share options, a calculation is done to determine the effect of the dilution in the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent due the exercise of the share options at subsidiaries. For the put option, is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent is adjusted.

The following table sets forth the calculation of earnings per share (in thousands of Brazilian Reais, except per share amounts):

The non-controlling interests of the indirect subsidiary Brado Logística S.A. have the right to exercise a liquidity option provided for in the shareholders’ agreement signed on August 5, 2013. This option would exchange all Brado shares held by such minority shareholders by shares of Rumo. The exchange ratio shall take into account the economic value for both Brado and Rumo shares. At the Company’s exclusive discretion, an equivalent cash payment is also possible.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, 3,558,449 share options from indirect subsidiary Rumo S.A. and 20,621,948 share options from indirect subsidiary Brado Logística S.A. were excluded from the diluted weighted-average number of ordinary shares calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, 11,171,300 shares related to the share repurchase plan of subsidiary Cosan S.A. have an antidilutive effect, so they were not considered in the diluted earnings per share analysis.

Risk management structure

The management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The management, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

The usage of financial instruments in order to protect against these areas of volatility is determined through an analysis of the risk exposure that management intends to cover.

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed on an annual basis and may be updated throughout the year. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through potential counterparty’s failure to make payments.

(ii) Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any shipments to major customers are generally covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance.

The requirement for impairment is analyzed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. Additionally, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. Management considers that the credit risk is covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. As mentioned in Note 1, Management has been working on measures to enable the subsidiary Cosan Logística to honor its Commitments.

The non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company sorted by due dates (based on undiscounted cash flows contracted) are as follows:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Company uses derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Risk Management Committee. Generally, the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

Sensitivity analysis on changes in foreign exchange rates:

The probable scenario was defined based on the U.S. Dollar market rates as at December 31, 2017, which determines the fair values of the derivatives at that date. Stressed scenarios (positive and negative effects, before tax effects) were defined based on changes of a 25% and 50% to the U.S. Dollar exchange rates used in the probable scenario.

Based on the financial instruments denominated in U.S. Dollars at December 31, 2017, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis by increasing and decreasing the exchange rate for R$/US$ by 25% and 50%. The probable scenario considers the estimated exchange rates, made by a specialized third part, at the due date of the transactions for the companies with functional currency Real (positive and negative, before tax effects), as follows:

 

     Exchange rate sensitivity analysis (R$/US$)

Financial instruments fair value

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

 

    The cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

    The fair values of the quoted notes and bonds are based on price quotations at the reporting date. The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, obligations under finance leases, as well as other non-current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

    The fair value of other loans and financing, the respective market values substantially approximate the amounts recorded due to the fact that these financial instruments are subject to variable interest rates (Note 17).

The Company and its subsidiaries enter into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with observable market data refer mainly to interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using valuation techniques and observable market data. The valuation techniques applied more often include pricing models and swaps contracts, with a present value calculation. The models consider various data, including counterparty credit quality, spot exchange rates, forward curves of interest rates and curves of the commodity term rates.

The Company annually evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties and a possible impact on the fair value of debts and derivatives. In most cases, since the Company is a borrower, the result, in addition to immaterial, reduces its liabilities.

In order to measure the credit risk of the parties involved in the derivative instruments, the Company uses the forward rate structure disclosed by B3 and adds discount rates that reflect the risk counterparty credits that are applied to each of the maturities in the calculation of the fair value of all financial instruments. The Company adopts counterparty ratings for positive flows and its own rating for negative flows, available on the market and disclosed by renowned rating agencies, as a necessary premise to extract the probability of default.

The expected payment is determined by considering the probable scenarios of forecast revenue and EBITDA, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario. The significant unobservable inputs are the forecast of the annual growth rate of revenue, EBITDA margin forecast and the 13% discount rate adjusted for risk.

Hedge accounting

Currently the Company has adopted the hedge accounting of fair value for some its operations that both the hedging instruments and the hedged items are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Operations and accounting effects of this adoption are as follows:

In May 2017 the indirect subsidiary Comgás designated hedge accounting of fair value for its “Debentures 5ª issuance” loan agreement. Using derivative operations, Comgás protected its future cash flow by changing the interest risk linked to the IPCA (National Wide Consumer Price Index) by percentages of the CDI (Interbank deposit rate).

Capital management

The Company’s policy is to maintain a robust capital base to promote the confidence of investors, creditors and the market, and to ensure the future development of the business. Management monitors that the return on capital is adequate for each of its businesses.

The defined benefit pension plan is governed by the employment laws of the Brazil, which require final salary payments to be adjusted for the consumer price index upon payment during retirement. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the amounts of contributions totaled R$ 22,796 (R$ 23,588 for the year ended December 31, 2016). The weighted average duration of obligation is 13.7 years.

Plan assets are comprised of financial assets with quoted prices in active markets and therefore are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy of fair value. The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on prevailing market expectations on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.

34 Share-based payment

On December 31, 2017 the Company and its subsidiaries have share-based payment plans (i) Stock Option Plan which provides an option to executives to buy the shares of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) Stock Based Compensation Plan which provides to executives a grant of shares of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The plans have been administered by the Board of Directors of each Company and its subsidiaries, at its option, by a Committee, within the limits established in the guidelines for the elaboration and structuring of each plan and in the applicable legislation.

 

  34.1 Stock option plan

 

  a) Cosan S.A. (equity-settled)

The stock option plan includes shares issued by the Cosan’s subsidiary up to the limit of 5% of the total shares. The objectives of the plan are: (i) to attract, retain and motivate the beneficiaries; (ii) generate shareholder value; and (iii) encourage entrepreneurship of the business.

The number of options granted in the stock option plan is determined by the Board of Directors or specific Committee, with the option exercise price equivalent to the average closing price of the share in the last thirty three B3 trading sessions prior to the date of grant (“Grant date”). The exercise price is updated monthly by the variation of the Extended Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) between the grant date and the month prior to the notification of exercise of the option by the beneficiary.

The vesting period and the position of the outstanding options are as follows:

(i) The fair value measurement was performed on the Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

  (b) Measurement of the fair value

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payment plans were as follows:

 

  i. Expected exercise—the expected timeframe for the exercise of the options was determined by considering the premise that executives exercise their options after the grace period.

 

  ii. Expected volatility – The Company opted to use the historic volatility of their shares adjusted by volatility of competitors’ shares that operate in similar lines of business.

 

  iii. Expected dividends – The dividends expected were calculated on the basis of the current market value on the grant’s date, adjusted by the average rate of return of capital to shareholders during the forecast period, and compared with to the book value shares.

The weighted average prices at the exercise date for stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2017 was R$ 29.84 (R$ 29.05 as of December 31, 2016).

 

  (d) Expenses recorded in income statement

For the year ended December 31, 2017, R$ 5,972 (R$ 8,369 on December 31, 2016 and R$ 11,289 on December 31, 2015) has been recognized as an expense related to the stock option plan.

 

  34.2. Stock-Grant Plan

The stock grants are plans under which shares may be issued by the company and its subsidiaries to the executives for the services provided with no cash consideration.

Shares issued by the company and its subsidiaries to the executives are acquired on-market prior to the issue. Shares held by the company and its subsidiaries and not yet issued to executives at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the financial statements.

Under the plan, eligible executives may be granted ordinary shares or cash, at the choice of the Company, for no cash consideration. The number of shares issued to participants in the plan is the offer amount divided by the weighted average price at which the company’s shares are traded on the B3 during the last 30 days up to and including the date of grant. The shares are recognized at the closing share price on the grant date (grant date fair value) as an issue of treasury shares by the trust and as part of employee benefit costs in the period the shares are granted.

 

  34.2.1. Cosan Limited

 

  34.2.1.1. Cash-settled

 

  (a) Description

In September 2017, the board of directors decided to reward executives for their contribution to the performance of the Company by granting them 255,000 share appreciation rights. The rights entitle the executives to a cash payment after five years of service. The amount payable will be determined based on the increase share price between the grant date and the vesting date. The rights must be exercised on vesting date and will expire if not exercised on that date.

In August 2016, the Company established a Long-term Retention Plan (“Plan” or “Partnership Plan”), targeting remuneration and retention of certain executives with a high level of strategic importance for the Company. Each executive signed a governance and long-term retention agreement and will be eligible to receive 1% of Cosan’s capital stock (or cash equivalent) throughout next 10 years.

In August 2017, the Board of Directors reviewed the existing to become a discretionary Plan based on the following characteristics, which are: (i) the Board of Directors will decide the number of shares to be granted for each executive of Cosan, up to 1% of the share capital (or cash equivalent); (ii) the Board of Directors may decide whether or not to deliver shares or cash in certain years, which may or may not be compensated in subsequent years.

The Plan foresees 13,534,365 shares which will be granted in full and free of charge over a 10 years term, as from the approval of the grant, conditioned to the exercise of the functions of the beneficiary in the Company, under the terms of each Share Granting Program. The shares to be granted depends on the approval of the Board of Directors as described in the paragraph above.

 

  (b) Measurement of the fair value

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share-based payment plans were as follows:

 

  i. Expected exercise - the expected timeframe for the exercise of the grant was determined by considering the premise that executives exercise their grant after the grace period.

 

  ii. Expected volatility – The Company opted to use the historic volatility of their shares adjusted by volatility of competitors’ shares that operate in similar lines of business.

 

  iii. Risk free interest rate – the company considered the prime rate as the risk free interest rate traded at B3 on the grant date and for the equivalent term of the share maturity.

  34.2.2.1. Equity-settled

 

  (a) Description

The share-based compensation plan provides for the distribution of up to 3% of the Company’s capital stock, considering the dilution effect of the distribution of shares granted under the plan. The objectives of the plan are: (i) to attract, retain and motivate the beneficiaries; (ii) generate shareholder value; and (iii) encourage entrepreneurship of the business.

The shares granted in the Stock-Based Compensation Plan will be transferred free of charge once the vesting period stipulated under the terms of each Stock Granting Program has been completed. The value of the shares distributed shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee, if established, and shall be equivalent to the closing value of the issuer’s share in the trading floor – at B3 – immediately prior to the grant.

On April 27, 2017 and July 31, 2017, two new share-based payment plans were approved in the meeting of the subsidiary Cosan S.A., with 274,000 and 298,107 shares, respectively, which became effective as of the grant.

The eligible executives may be granted ordinary shares or cash, at the choice of the Company, for no cash consideration, after five years.

 

  (b) Measurement of the fair value

The Black and Scholes methodology was used to calculate the fair value of the shares granted under the terms of the Stock-Based Compensation Plan. Given the characteristics of the Plan, the fair value is equivalent to the value of the share on the grant date (R$ 32.11 and R$ 36.06).

Management’s  Annual  Report  on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Cosan Limited (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding perception or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment management has concluded that as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Management assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 has been audited by KPMG Auditores Independentes, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
