Independent Auditor’s Report on the consolidated financial statements

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Cosan Limited

Bermuda

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cosan Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, the statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the corresponding notes, comprising the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cosan Limited as at December 31, 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

Basis for opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in section “Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements” of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements included in the Accountant Professional Code of Ethics (“Código de Ética Profissional do Contador”) and in the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“Conselho Federal de Contabilidade”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key Audit Matters

 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Unbilled revenue

 

See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements

 

The key audit matter    How the matter was addressed in our audit

 

  

 

On a monthly basis, the Company’s subsidiary Companhia de Gás de São Paulo (Comgás) recognizes revenue from gas sales operations based on the measurement of its customer’s consumption. This consumption measurement and its billing occurs in monthly cycles whose dates may differ from the monthly accounting closing dates.

 

Unbilled revenue is recognized for that interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month based on an estimate that takes into account the volume of gas consumed per customer segment and its measurement based on the different applicable tariffs for each segment.

 

The balance of unbilled revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 is R$ 622,572 thousand.

 

Due to the relevance of the unbilled revenue balance and the judgment to estimate the allocation of the gas volume among the customer segments during the interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month, this matter was considered significant for our audit.

  

We evaluated the key controls for allocating the gas volume between customer segments during the interval of time between the date of the last measurement and the end of the month.

 

We performed, among others, the following procedures:

 

i.   Documental test, based on sampling, of the information that was used by the Company’s subsidiary as the basis for allocating the gas volume per customer segment.

 

ii.  Recalculation of unbilled revenue by customer segment, including evaluation of the key assumptions used.

 

iii.   Independent estimate of the allocation of the gas volume per customer segments considering the historical consumption at the end of the year and comparison to the estimated volume per segment calculated by the Company’s subsidiary.

 

iv.   Comparison of the tariffs used for valuation of revenue per customer segment, with the tariffs determined by the regulatory agency.

 

v.  Comparison of the average consumption assumption estimated by the Company’s subsidiary with the actual average consumption referring to the billing of the subsequent cycle occurred in January 2020.

 

vi.   Reconciliation of unbilled revenue balance with accounting records.

 

We have also considered if the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements consider the relevant aspects required by the applicable financial reporting frameworks.

 

Based on the evidence obtained through the procedures summarized above, we considered that the unbilled revenue balance and the corresponding notes are acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Equity method on jointly-controlled entity

 

See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements

 

The key audit matter

   How the matter was addressed in our audit

 

  

 

The Company has an indirect interest in the jointly-controlled entity Raízen Energia S.A., which operates in the production and trade of sugar, ethanol and cogeneration of energy, mainly produced from sugarcane bagasse. Due to the segment in which it operates, the valuation of biological assets is subject to a significant judgment involving: estimated harvest area, productivity forecast, discount rates, quantity and projected prices. Due to the relevance of the investment in Raízen Energia S.A. and due to the degree of judgment and estimates used in the valuation of biological assets, this matter was considered significant for our audit.   

We planned and communicated the scope of our work, discussed the risks of material misstatement and sent instructions to the auditors of the jointly-controlled entity. We held meetings with the auditors responsible for the jointly-controlled entity, and reviewed and evaluated the work performed on the valuation of biological assets, including the audit evidence obtained and the documentation of the experts involved in the audit of the valuation of biological assets. We have analyzed the communications and reports submitted by the jointly-controlled entity’s auditor, as well as the procedures performed and the conclusions reached, specifically the determination of materiality and the audit procedures performed to address the risks on the valuation of biological assets. We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

 

As a result of the evidence obtained from the procedures described above, we considered that the procedures performed on the valuation of biological assets of jointly-controlled entity and consequently the effect in the equity pick-up recognized by the Company are acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Recoverability of deferred taxes assets

 

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements

 

The key audit matter

   How the matter was addressed in our audit

 

  

 

The Company’s subsidiary Rumo Malha Paulista S.A. recognized deferred taxes asset related to temporary differences and tax loss carry-forward, which are considered recoverable based on the generation of future taxable profits.

 

The estimated availability of future taxable profits requires judgment for the projections and interpretation of tax laws. The recoverable amount of the deferred taxes assets recognized may vary significantly if different assumptions are applied to the projection of future taxable profits and to the capacity to use tax loss carry-forward, which may impact the deferred taxes assets recognized in the consolidated financial statements and at the effective tax rate of the period. For these reasons, this matter was considered significant for our audit.

  

We evaluated the key internal controls related to the preparation and review of the projection of future taxable profits, specifically the business plan and budget. We compared the budget approved for the previous year with the actual results incurred in order to confirm the reliability of the projections of future results. With the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluated the main assumptions used to support the projection of future taxable profits, including (i) expectations of loading related to the production of sugar and grains; (ii) expectation of future freight prices; (iii) availability of transport and port capacity; and (iv) other macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, with the assistance of our tax specialists, we consider the appropriateness of the application of tax laws and tax deductions in calculating the deferred taxes. We also assessed whether the projections indicated sufficient future taxable profits against which the tax loss carry-forward and deductible temporary differences could be used, as well as the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures described above, we considered that the amount of deferred taxes assets and the corresponding disclosures are acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Other information accompanying the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report

 

Management is responsible for the other information comprising the management report.

 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents

–   Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

–   Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

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 14, 2020.

Accounting policies

Accounting policies are included in the notes, except those described below:

 

3.1

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, Euro or the Pound Sterling.

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.

 

23


Table of Contents

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

Foreign currency translation are recognized and presented in other comprehensive income (loss) 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.

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 statement of financial position 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.

Translation effects have been recognized in shareholders’ equity in “Foreign currency translation effects.”

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 rates of the Real (R$) for the functional currencies of its subsidiaries on December 31, 2019 and 2018 are:

3.2

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 and 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:

Changes in significant accounting policies

i. IFRS 16

The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases modified retrospective from January 1, 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed in note 5.6.

 

25


Table of Contents

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities follow a range from 4.00% to 12.70% per year.

For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only applied after that date.

The joint ventures Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. recognized the lease liability and the right to use asset at the date of the initial application for leases previously classified as operating leases, retrospectively, with cumulative effect. These joint ventures used as a practical expedient the use of a single discount rate on the lease portfolio with similar characteristics (note 9).

 

  a)

Practical expedients applied

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

 

 

applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;

 

 

relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review – there were no onerous contracts as at January 1, 2019;

 

 

accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases;

 

 

did not recognize right-of-user assets and liabilities for lease of low value assets;

 

 

excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and

 

 

using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The Company has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Measurement

The associated right-of-use assets to the concession were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. Other right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the balance sheet as at December 31, 2018. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implied in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined immediately, the incremental loan rate of Company and its subsidiaries. Generally, the Company uses its incremental loan rate as the discount rate.

The Company has applied a judgment to determine the lease term of some contracts that include renewal options. The evaluation of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these options has an impact on the term of the lease, which significantly affects the value of lease liabilities and recognized right-of-use assets. The extension and termination options are included in several lease agreements throughout the Company. These terms are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of contract management. Most of the extension and termination options exercised are exercisable by both participants (lessor and lessee).

 

3.4

Other standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2019, without effects on the financial statements

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting of income taxes when tax treatment involves uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 and does not apply to taxes or charges outside the scope of IAS 12, nor does it specifically treatment of interest and penalties associated with uncertain taxes.

The Company is subject to examination by the tax authorities, with the past five tax years counted as of December 31, 2019. The Company has audits in progress at various stages of completion, some of which may be completed within the next 12 months. However, at that time, the Company had no uncertainties regarding the treatment of income tax.

The Company has not identified effects of interpretation adoption IFRIC 23 that could affect the Company accounting policies and its interim consolidated financial statements.

Segment information

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”).

Reported segments:

 

  i.

Raízen Energia: production and marketing of a variety of products derived from sugar cane, including raw sugar (Very High Polarization, or “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 “Shell” brand throughout Brazil, petroleum refining, the operation of fuel resellers, conveniences, the manufacture and sale of automotive and industrial lubricants, and the production and sale of liquefied petroleum gas throughout Argentina;

 

  iii.

Comgás: distribution of piped natural gas to part of the State of São Paulo to customers in the industrial, residential, commercial, automotive and cogeneration sectors;

 

  iv.

Logistic: logistics services for rail transportation, storage and port loading of commodities, mainly for grains and sugar, leasing of locomotives, wagons and another railway equipment; and

 

  v.

Moove: production and distribution of Mobil brand licensed lubricants in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, the United States and the European market, under the Comma brand for the European and Asian markets and corporate activities.

Reconciliation:

 

  i.

Cosan Corporate: digital wallet platform and other investments, in addition to the corporate activities of the Company. The Cosan corporate segment includes the financing subsidiaries for the Cosan group.

Although, Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis are equity accounted joint ventures and are no longer proportionally consolidated, senior management continues to review segment information. A reconciliation of these segments is presented in the column “Deconsolidated effects.”

Financial assets and liabilities

 

Accounting policy

 

Measurement of financial assets and liabilities

 

The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs, except those measured at amortized cost maintained within a business model with the objective to obtain contractual cash flows that meet the criteria of principal and interest only.

 

Debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

The classification is based on two criteria: (i) the Company’s business model for managing assets; and (ii) whether the contractual cash flows of the instruments represent only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

The Company recognizes its financial assets at amortized cost for financial assets that are maintained within a business model in order to obtain contractual cash flows that meet the “Principal and Interest” criteria. This category includes accounts receivable from customers, cash and cash equivalents, receivables from related parties, other financial assets and dividends and interest on equity receivable.

 

No remeasurement of financial assets was carried out.

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified, and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

5.3

Trade receivables

 

Accounting policy

 

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

To measure the expected credit losses and trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and overdue. The provision allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in selling expense.

 

The expected loss rates are based on the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this exercise. The historical loss rates may be adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Company has identified the interest rate implicit in the contract to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in this factor.

(i)

Current and non-current assets receivable from Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis are, primarily, tax credits which will be reimbursed to the Company when realized. The preferred shares are used to Raízen reimburse Cosan, with preferential dividends, when the net operating loss is consumed in Raízen.

Current liabilities represent reimburse to Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis related to expenses regarding legal disputes and other liabilities, generated before the formation of joint ventures, which are responsibility of Cosan S.A..

(ii)

On September 13, 2019, the Company and Rezende Barbosa entered into a Private Instrument for Settlement and Termination of Contracts and Other Covenants in which the balance of receivables was settled through the delivery of 1,908,783 and 477,196 shares of Cosan S.A. and Cosan Logística to the Company that were blocked and in custody with a Financial Institution. The equity instruments received in said instrument represent an increase in the Company’s interest of 0.48% and 0.10% in Cosan S.A. and Cosan Logística. Additionally, during the exercise in which the shares held in custody remained blocked, such shares were not entitled to any dividends received, pursuant to the agreement in effect at the time, and the amount of R$ 20,751 recorded as dividends payable to this shareholder was reversed against retention profit in subsidiary Cosan S.A.

Loans, borrowings and debentures

 

Accounting policy

 

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting exercise.

 

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

 

(i) the amount of the obligation under the contract; and

 

(ii)  the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.

5.6

Leases

 

Accounting policy

 

Accounting policies applicable from January 1, 2019

 

At the beginning or in the modification of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments that are not made on the start date, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined immediately, by the Company’s incremental loan rate. The Company generally uses its incremental loan rate as a discount rate.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

 

•  fixed payments, including fixed payments in essence;

 

•  variable lease payments that depend on index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate on the start date;

 

•  amounts expected to be paid by the lessee, in accordance with the residual value guarantees; and

 

•  the exercise price of the call option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payment of fines for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the option to terminate the lease.

 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:

 

•  where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received;

 

•  uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Company, which does not have recent third party financing; and

 

•  makes adjustments specific to the lease, eg term, country, currency and security.

 

The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

•  the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

 

•  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

 

•  any initial direct costs; and

 

•  restoration costs.

 

 

49


Table of Contents

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

 

Subsequent valuation of the lease liability is at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in index or rate, if there is a change in the amounts that are expected to be paid according to the residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its valuation, an option will be exercised purchase, extension or termination or if there is an essentially fixed revised lease payment.

 

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, an adjustment corresponding to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is made or is recorded in the income statement if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

 

Accounting policies applicable before January 1, 2019

 

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

 

a)Financelease liabilities

 

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)  Operating leases

 

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 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.

  ii.

Contract with Petrobras started in January 2020, effective until December 2023, and with a daily contractual amount of national gas of 4.62 million m³/day, called NMG

 

  iii.

Contract with Petrobras entered into in June 1999 and due to expire in June 2021 providing for the delivery of 8.10 million m³/day of Bolivian-sourced natural gas (“TCQ”).

 

  iv.

Gas contract entered into as part of the Priority Thermoelectric Program (“PTP”) with Petrobras for the supply of 0.3 million m³/day to Ingredion Brasil Ingredientes Industriais Ltda., due to expire on March 31, 2023.

 

  v.

Contract with Gas Brasiliano entered into in April 2008 and due to expire on March 26, 2019 with a contracted average monthly volume of 0.760 million m³ and contracted annual volume of 9.12 million m³.

The contracts for the supply of natural gas, TCQ, have the price composed of two installments (molecule and transport): one indexed to a basket of fuel oils in the international market and adjusted quarterly; and another adjusted annually based on local inflation. The price of the NMG contract is indexed to Brent, with a quarterly adjustment, and the transport portion follows the same rationale as the TCQ contract, with an annual adjustment based on the IGP-M.

Preferred shareholders payable in subsidiaries

 

Accounting policy

 

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, taking into account the outstanding balance of the initial contribution, increased by interest on the principal, less dividends paid.

On June 27, 2014, the subsidiary Cosan S.A. performed a corporate reorganization and created the subsidiary Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A. (“CIP”), to optimize its capital structure and improve its debt profile. A contribution of R$ 2,000,000 was received through two non-voting preferred shares—Fundo de Investimentos em Participações Multisetoriais Plus II (“FIP Multisetorial”) and Razac Fundo de Investimentos em Participações (“FIP Razac”). CIP received from Cosan a 50% interest in the joint ventures, Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis, and the commitments contributed were debentures and working capital financing.

The shareholders’ agreement has exit clauses, in which the Company may repurchase these interests and for the reason was recorded a financial liability and amount of R$ 2,000,000 plus interest minus dividends from Joint Ventures considered as repayments.

The Company will be required to pay investors if they exercise the option to sell the investment in 2021.

5.9

Derivative financial instruments

 

Accounting policy

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting exercise. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as either:

 

i.   hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges); or

 

ii.  hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

 

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Company documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in profit or loss and are included in other gains / (losses).

 

The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed below. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

 

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 60% to 140%.

To protect the Company’s exposure to risk were are using observable data such as quoted prices in active markets, or discounted cash flow based on market curves, and the consolidated data are presented below:

There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedge instrument, since the terms of the interest rate and foreign exchange swap correspond to the terms of the fixed rate loan, that is, notional amount, term and payment. The Company established a 1: 1 hedge ratio for hedge relationships, since the underlying risk of the interest rate and exchange rate swap is identical to the hedged risk component. To test the effectiveness of the hedge, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedge instrument with the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

Recognized fair value measurements

 

Accounting policy

 

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.

 

The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the Board.

 

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 treasury assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Company’s policy, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

 

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Board. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. 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: inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments exchanged in active markets.

 

•  Level 2: inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1inputs) such as quoted prices for similar financial instruments exchanged in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments exchanged in inactive markets and other market observable inputs. The fair value of the majority of the company’s investments in securities, derivative contracts and bonds.

 

•  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs as there is little, if any, market activity in these instruments or related observable inputs that can be corroborated at the measurement date.

 

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

 

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

 

i.   the use of quoted market prices;

 

ii.  the fair value is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve constructed from similar sources and which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for this purpose when pricing interest rate swaps. The fair value estimate is subject to a credit risk adjustment that reflects the credit risk of the Company and of the counterparty; this is calculated based on credit spreads derived from current credit default swap or bond prices;

 

iii.   for other financial instruments we analyze discounted cash flow.

  (i)

On March 15, 2017, in case that sets a judicial precedent, the Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal) or “STF,” granted Extraordinary Appeal 574,706 against a decision that required the exclusion of ICMS in the calculation of the tax basis of PIS and COFINS. Therefore, the amounts refer mainly to credits generated by excluding ICMS from the PIS / COFINS calculation basis. In 2018, the Company had already recognized credits related to periods after March 2017, based on the decision rendered on that date by the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF), in Extraordinary Appeal 574,706. And also the amounts related to the prior periods for the group companies with favorable final decisions for the referred subject. It should be noted that the amounts informed in the table above includes R$ 188,216 from Comgás subsidiary, whose PIS and COFINS credit is part of the regulatory plan of accounts. Thus, after a final favorable court decision, the mentioned credit will be reversed in favor of the customers by tariff reviews.

In 2019, R$ 155,218 was accounted in the Cosan S.A. subsidiary, as other recoverable taxes (partially already realized), with a counterpart of R$ 101,179 as other income (note 19) and R$ 54,039 as a financial income (note 20). See below:

(a) R$ 75,699 (R$ 60,941 as other income and R$ 14,758 as financial income), referring to the credit based on final court decision to exclude the ICMS on PIS and COFINS calculation basis, on June 7, 2019, back to 2003; and

(b) R$ 79,519 (R$ 40,238 as other income and R$ 39,281 as financial income), referring to the complementary credit calculated for its subsidiary CLE, mainly associated with Hydrated Alcohol (product subject to the tax agenda) for the period between October 2008 and March 2011, which, under the contract, is the Company’s right.

In addition, R$ 135,268 were recognized by equity pick-up method, reaching a total credit of R$ 290,486 derived from the exclusion of ICMS on the basis of PIS / COFINS.

The subsidiary Rumo S.A. recognized R$ 40,477, referring to PIS and COFINS credits on inputs (note 19) and are recorded in the “Recovery of tax credits” account.

Besides, R$ 23,773 were also recognized in the Comgás, related to PIS and COFINS credits on inputs (note 19). There is still an approximate amount of R$687,478, resulting from the period prior to the STF decision and without final judgment, which remains a contingent asset.

Inventories

 

Accounting policy

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (it is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated completion costs and estimated costs necessary to make the sale). The cost of finished and under construction products comprises direct materials, direct labor and an adequate proportion of variable and fixed overheads, the latter being allocated based on normal operational capacity. Costs are assigned to individual inventory items based on weighted average costs.

 

The provision for obsolete inventories is made for the risks associated with the realization and sale of inventories due to obsolescence and measured at the net realizable value or the cost, whichever is less.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates

 

Accounting policy

 

a) 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. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.

 

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation. 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.

b) Associates

 

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.”

 

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.

Corporate transactions during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

  (i)

In the period ended June 30, 2019, the subsidiary Cosan S.A. concluded the public offerings (Voluntary Tender Offer) for the acquisition of outstanding preferred shares and common shares issued by Comgás. The Company disbursed R$ 2,066,105 and recognized goodwill on capital transactions of R$ 1,091,753, recorded in the Company’s shareholders’ equity. This transaction also generated a loss of R$ 1,093,117 for non-controlling interest.

 

  (ii)

As disclosed in Note 1, an investment agreement was entered into between CLI and CVC, in which an amount of R$588,637 was made through the issuance of new common shares representing approximately 30% of Moove’s capital stock. Of this total, Moove received R$454,000, in addition to an amount related to a fair value of R$134,637 to be received until 2021, once the targets agreed upon in the agreement were met, without any change in the ownership interest. As a result of this transaction, the subsidiary Cosan S.A recognized a gain of R $ 141,568, as a result of the net effect between the capital contribution and the dilution of the equity interest.

 

9

Investments in joint ventures

 

Accounting policy

 

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

 

Cosan holds joint-control of Raízen Combustíveis and Raízen Energia by virtue of its 50% equity interest in both companies and the requirement of unanimous consent of all shareholders on the decisions related to significant activities. Investments were classified as jointly-owned subsidiaries and, therefore, the equity method is used for the years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

 

The two partners have direct rights over the assets of the company and are jointly and severally accountable for the liabilities incurred by the partnership.

Changes to investments in joint ventures were as follows:

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and right-of-use assets

 

Accounting policy

 

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 uses periods greater than five years in the preparation of discounted cash flows considering that reflects the estimated time of use of the asset and business groups.

 

The Company performs annually a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets with defined useful lives, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. 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.

 

Assumptions used in discounted cash flow projections – estimates of future business performance, cash generation, long term growth (ten years for all subsidiaries, except for Logistic and Comgás that consider the remaining period of their concession contracts) and discount rates are used in our assessment of impairment of assets at the statement of financial position date. No reasonably plausible change to a key assumption would cause harm. The main assumptions used to determine the recoverable value of the different cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated are explained below.

10.1

Property, plant and equipment

 

Accounting policy

 

a) Recognition and measurement

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

 

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.

 

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, recognized in profit or loss, unless it is capitalized as part of the cost of another asset. Land is not depreciated.

 

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

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

     3.3% to 8%  

Permanent railways

     3% to 4%  

Furniture and fixtures

     10% to 15%  

Computer equipment

     20%

10.2

Intangible assets and goodwill

 

Accounting policy

 

a) Goodwill

 

Goodwill is initially recognized based on the accounting policy for business combinations. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Company’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

b) Concession rights agreement

 

The subsidiary Comgás 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 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.

 

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.

 

c) Customer relationships

 

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.

 

d) 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.

 

 

74


Table of Contents

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

e) 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.

f) 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.

 

g) Research costs

 

Development costs for future products and other internally generated intangible assets are capitalized at cost, provided manufacture of the products is likely to bring the Cosan an economic benefit. If the criteria for recognition as assets are not met, the expenses are recognized in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

 

Capitalized development costs include all direct and indirect costs that are directly attributable to the development process. The costs are amortized using the straight-line method from the start of production over the expected life cycle of the models developed.

 

Amortization recognized during the year is allocated to the relevant functions in the income statement.

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

 

  i.

Cosan Logística

The Company annually tests the recoverable amounts of goodwill arising from business combinations. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives 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 purpose of analyzing impairment, concession contracts were defined as cash generating units, each registered with an individual company. The basis for annual assessment and testing is September 30.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we did not identify any impairment indicators, so that no impairment test was necessary for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a defined useful life, except for the cash-generating unit represented by the Rumo Malha Oeste S.A. (“Malha Oeste”) concession, which presents negative results with low cash generation.

The recoverable amount for fixed assets of this cash-generating unit was determined using the discounted cash flow method of the cash-generating unit.

The main assumptions used were (i) EBITDA projected for the cash generating unit, with no increase in volume transported, in the remaining term of the concession, and (ii) the discount rate (wacc) of 9% per year, before the taxes. The calculation resulted in a recoverable amount of R$ 109,000, compared to a book value of R$ 99,000, which includes property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

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

The recoverable value of this cash-generating unit was determined by the net sale value of the unit, using the EBITDA multiples technique, a technique considered level 3 in the hierarchy of fair value estimates.

The main assumptions used were (i) EBITDA generated by the cash-generating unit in 2019, and (ii) average of the multiples practiced by market agents for companies (10.9x) in the sector in which the Company operates. The calculation resulted in a recoverable amount of R$ 2,183,000, compared to a book value of R$ 819,039, which includes property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions, as previously described, which are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions prevailing at the time when this recovery is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new losses due to recovery reduction will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether they would be material. The amount of goodwill tested at Cosan Logística is R$100,451.

 

  ii.

Cosan S.A.

The main assumptions used consider, mainly, the expected growth of operations based on the Gross Domestic Product (Produto Interno Bruto – PIB) segmented by country, as well as the average growth levels experienced in recent years and other macroeconomic aspects, as well as the expected sale price of the shares, using discount rates that reflect specific risks related to the business, as shown in the table above.

All of these future cash flows were discounted at a rate of 9.0% (weighted average cost of capital) and a growth rate of 3.4% from 2030, reflecting specific risks related to the relevant assets in its generating unit. Cashier.

A 6.3% increase in the discount rate must change so that the estimated recoverable amount is equal to the carrying amount. The dollar has an impact on projections and, therefore, a fluctuation in the exchange rate would have an effect on the estimate.

As of December 31, 2019, no expense for impairment of assets and goodwill was recognized. The determination of the recoverability of assets depends on certain key assumptions, as described above, which are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions in force at the time when this recovery is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether further reductions in losses of recovery will occur in the future and, if they do, whether they would be material. The amount of goodwill tested at Cosan S.A is R$801,731.

Right-of-use assets

Accounting policy

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

   

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

 

   

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

 

   

any initial direct costs; and

 

   

restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

As mentioned in the operational context, the Company signed the concession contract for Malha Central, which guarantees the right to operate the railroad network for a period of 30 years, counting from the date of signature occurred on July 31, 2019. Corrected in accordance with contractual parameters, the auction amount was recorded as right to use railway infrastructure in the amount of R$ 2,904,778. The lease liability in the amount of R$ 2,759,539 represents the present value of future installments, using the incremental rate of the contract. The auction provided for a 5% cash payment in the amount of R$ 145,239. This transaction is the main addition to the exercise, as we can see in the transaction charts:

Leases and concessions in dispute

 

Accounting policy

 

The Company records in this account the balance of the lease installments involved in disputes with the granting authority. The initial registration takes place at the amount of the installment at maturity, by transferring the “Liabilities for leases” account. Subsequently, the values are corrected by Selic.

 

Balances payable as a concession for concession rights (“Concessions”) are also recorded in this account, with a contra entry to intangible assets (see note 10.2). Subsequent measurement occurs at the effective rate.

Court Discussion:

The Company is challenging in court the economic and financial imbalance of certain Lease and Concession Agreements.

In April 2004, Rumo Malha Paulista filed a Cautionary Action and, subsequently, a Declaratory Action before the 21st Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro questioning the economic and financial imbalance of the Concession and Lease Contracts, due to the high disbursement that the company has with the payment of labor lawsuits and other costs involved, which are the responsibility of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., under the terms expressed in the bidding notice Rumo Malha Paulista requested the grant of an injunction to suspend the payment of lease contract, past due and maturities, as well as the offsetting of the credit balance resulting from labor fees paid by the Company with the amount charged by the Union. In April 2005, the injunction was granted, suspending the payment of the installments for 90 days, determining the realization of expertise. In July 2005, the suspension of the liability was extended for another 90 days. In September 2005, the injunction was revoked by the Regional Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. In January 2006, a request was made to suspend the payment of installments, by means of a deposit. The amount related to the lease installments had been deposited in court until October 2007, when the Company obtained judicial authorization to replace the judicial deposits by bank guarantee letter. In October 2015, a decision was rendered that partially upheld the lawsuit recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial imbalance in the contracts, allowing the Company to offset part of the amounts claimed against the presented debt. As an appeal, the right to offset expenses with internal personnel was included and the correction of the amounts due by the IPCA-E was determined. Appeals are awaited by the Superior Courts. Nevertheless, the Company understands that any amount discussed in the process is liable to offset, due to the provision contained in clauses 7 and 10 of the Bidding Notice.

Management, supported by the opinion of its lawyers, assesses the chances of success as probable in relation to the value of the sentence and judgment rendered and as possible in relation to other amounts, but maintains the record of the debt as it is a contractual obligation.

Rumo Malha Oeste also pleads for the reestablishment of the economic and financial balance, lost due to the cancellation of transportation contracts existing at the time of privatization, configuring changes in the regulatory scenario and conditions established in the Privatization Notice–in addition, the growth forecasts that defined the business value did not materialize. The lawsuit is pending before the Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region. The amount referring to the Company’s overdue installments was guaranteed by the acquisition of public debt securities (Letras Financeiras do Tesouro–LFT). In March 2008, the Company obtained authorization to replace the guarantee with bank guarantee and in May 2008 the Company redeemed the amounts. In December 2014, a decision was handed down that upheld the lawsuit, recognizing the occurrence of economic and financial imbalance in the contracts. In December 2015, a request for replacement of letters of guarantee presented by the Company with guarantee insurance was granted. An appeal judgment is pending before the Federal Regional Court–TRF.

Management, supported by the opinion of its lawyers, assesses the chances of success as probable, but maintains the record of the liability because it is a contractual obligation not yet withdrawn from the Company, and because the amount is still pending.

On January, 2020, ANTT deliberates to start an Administrative Ordinary Procedure in order to generate a conclusive report about the occurrence of alleged breaches of contract by Malha Oeste to declare or not the caducity of the Contract. The analysis will be done by a commission that will be indicated by ANTT, where it will be guaranteed the right of to due process.

Management, supported by the opinion of its lawyers, assesses the chances of success as possible.

Income tax and social contribution

Accounting policy

The income taxes rate is 34%. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except for some transactions that are recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

  i.

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.

 

  ii.

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.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the way the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

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 and the same taxable entity.

 

  iii.

Recoverability of deferred income tax and social contribution

In assessing the recoverability of deferred taxes, management considers the projections of future taxable income and the movements of temporary differences. When it is not probable that part or all the taxes will be realized, the tax asset is reversed. 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.

 

  iv.

Tax exposure

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company considers 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.

Provision for legal proceedings and judicial deposits

 

Accounting policy

 

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 in the acquisition time.

The Company had provision for legal proceedings and judicial deposits recorded in the financial position at December 31, 2019 and 2018 in respect of:

  (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. The offsetting of these taxes remains under discussion at the administrative level. No judicial deposits were made.

 

  (ii)

The amounts that have been provisioned are mainly related to social security contributions levied on company’s gross invoiced amounts, 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 monthly for the corresponding amounts.

 

  (iii)

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.

  (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 tolling partnership;

 

   

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 or purchase the goods, which after the operation, 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, tax substitution method and tax credits arising from the transfer of excess credits to its centralizing unit;

 

   

The subsidiary CLE has been discussing the “FEEF” (deposit of 10% of ICMS tax exempted by the use of tax benefits) on the industrialization and commercialization of lube oils, considering that the constitutional immunity provided for in art. 155, § 2, X, “b” of CF / 88 cannot be considered as a tax benefit under Law No. 7.248 / 2016, regulated by State Decree No. 45.810/2016. Judicial deposits made monthly for the supposed due amounts.

 

   

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.

 

   

Levies of ICMS Mato Grosso State relative of notices (TADs) to require tax and fine of 50% of the value of operations, based on understanding that export operations done with the electronic documents of transportations (DACTEs) was canceled configuring it as improper according articles 35-A and 35-B State Law nº 7098/98.

 

 

  (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. Contingency adjusted due to the partial success of administrative proceeding.

  (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,

 

  c.

The subsidiary Comgás was known of the no recognition of the offsetting procedures made in 2015, using income taxes credits (IRPJ),

 

  d.

Isolated fine of 50%, resulting from non-homologation of compensations, and

 

  e.

Tax assessments that require IRPJ and CSLL related to: (i) Malha Norte Goodwill: Tax assessment notices drawn up for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL, cumulated with interest for late payment and fines and isolated. In the opinion of the Federal Revenue, Rumo Malha Norte would have unduly amortized the goodwill calculated on the acquisition of Brasil Ferrovias S/A and Novoeste Brasil S/A. (i) GIF, TPG and Teaçu. Tax assessment notices issued for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL, plus a fine and default interest, as well as an isolated fine, for the following reasons: Deduction of the actual profit and the CSLL tax base from the amount corresponding to the amortization in acquisition of interest in Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S/A; Deduction, of the actual profit and the basis of calculation of CSLL, of the amount corresponding to the amortization of the goodwill paid by the companies TPG Participações S.A. and GIF LOG Participações S.A in the acquisition of shares issued by Rumo Logística S/A; (iii) Labor Provisions: In 2009, under the assumption that the Company would have excluded from the calculation of the actual profit and the adjusted basis of calculation of CSLL labor provisions. According to the tax authorities, the write-off of labor provisions was made by the Company without the individualization of the proceedings (provisions and reversals), which would impact on the tax calculation. The likelihood of loss is possible, considering that the occurrence of the decay and that the Company complied with all tax rules regarding the addition and exclusion of provisions in the determination of IRPJ and CSLL.

 

  (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 assessments to require PIS and COFINS relative to Rumo Malha Norte, Rumo Malha Sul and Rumo Malha Oeste concerning administrative disallowance for non-cumulative system relative to: a) credits issued untimly unattended of previous rectification of tax return; b) credits of expenses of mutual traffic contracts; c) non-comproved credits of expenses with services have classified as input material; d) company employees transportation expenses credits; e) electricity expenses credits; f) non-comproved equipment rental agreement and rental expenses credits; g) expenses in acquisition of machines, equipments and incorporated into company permanent assets credits.

The subsidiary CLE discusses on judicial lebelthe withholding income tax on an alleged capital gain arising from the acquisition of assets of foreign companies.

 

  (v)

  (vi)

The legal proceeding related to INSS payment 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 and (c) requirement of social security contribution on stock purchase through stock option plans,

 

  (vii)

Lawsuits regarding manufactured tax (IPI) are essentially related to incidence of: (a) of refined sugar in accordance with SRF Normative Instruction nº 67/98; and (b) sales of lubricating grease (CLE Subsidiary) derived from petroleum, therefore immune.

 

  (viii)

Tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Tax Authority in 2011, 2013 and 2019 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; (c) supposed capital gain on disposal of equity interest in a Company of the same group in 2019. Contingency adjusted due to the partial success of administrative proceeding.

 

  (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)

Offsetting of IPI tax related to for sales of refined sugar according SRF Normative Instruction nº 67/98, which authorized the refunding of the tax paid from January 14, 1992 to November 16, 1997.

 

  (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)

In 2010, Prumo Engenharia Ltda. (“Prumo Engenharia”), a company that provided services to ALL—América Latina Logística SA (“ALL”), was accused of incurring irregular labor practices during the execution of an engineering service for the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Rumo Malha Paulista. Although Prumo Engenharia assumed full responsibility for the condition of the workers in question, Rumo Malha Paulista was improperly included, in the Rumo S.A’s view, in the register of employers of the Ministry of Labor, being granted a preliminary injunction determining the exclusion of said registration until the final and unappealable decision of the judicial process, which is processed in the secrecy of justice.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office also filed a public civil action against the Malha Paulista, without the inclusion of Prumo in the case, demanding payment of compensation for collective damages in the amount of R$ 100.000 (among other commitments), partially adjudicated proceeding condemning the Rumo S.A in obligations of doing and not doing, as, in collective moral damages of R$ 15.000. In addition to demonstrating that the Rumo S.A did not participate in the practice of irregularities, Rumo S.A understands that the suit should be filed against Prumo, which is discussed in appeal. The risk of loss is considered possible and the case is awaiting decision of the Superior Labor Court.

  (xiii)

Tax assessments issued against the Rumo S.A for the collection of social security contributions (20% on the amount paid) of amounts related to the Stock Option Plan granted to employees, managers and third parties. The main reason for the assessment is the alleged remunerative nature.

The Federal Tax Authority intends to make the incidence of IOF (Financial Transation Tax) on checking accounts maintained by the controlling company for its affiliates and other controlled companies prevail, which consists on the substantial share of the notice. The Tax Authority argues that the use of an accounting caption to indicate expense advances to affiliated companies, without a formal loan contract, characterizes the existence of a checking account, as the IOF should be calculated according to the specific rules of revolving credit operations. These discussions are still at the administrative level.

 

  (xiv)

Rumo Malha Sul submitted various Compensation Declarations (DCOMP) through the PER/DCOMP electronic system, in regard to credit premium, using credit acquired from a third party (Fibra S/A Indústria e Comércio and others). Said DCOMP’s, due to being related to third parties’ credit, as well as credit premium, were deemed as “not declared” in an administrative Resolutive Order, enforcing a 75% fine, according to article 18, para. 4, of Federal Law no. 10.833/2003.

Labor:

In 2010, Prumo Engenharia Ltda. (“Prumo Engenharia”), a company that provided services to ALL—América Latina Logística SA (“ALL”), was accused of incurring irregular labor practices during the execution of an engineering service for the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Rumo Malha Paulista.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office also filed a public civil action against the Malha Paulista, without the inclusion of Prumo in the case, demanding payment of compensation for collective damages in the amount of R$ 100.000 (among other commitments), partially adjudicated proceeding condemning the Rumo S.A in obligations of doing and not doing, as, in collective moral damages of R$ 15.000. In addition to demonstrating that the Rumo S.A did not participate in the practice of irregularities, Rumo S.A understands that the suit should be filed against Prumo, which is discussed in appeal.

Earnings per share

Accounting policy

 

  a)

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

i. the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares; and

ii.by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements (share-based payment) in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares (Note 15).

 

  b)

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

i. the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

ii. the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

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.

Revenue

Accounting policy

The Company recognizes revenues from the following main sources:

 

  i.

Sale of products

The Company operates in the production and distribution of lubricants including the brands Mobil and Comma, as well as the production and distribution of biomass pellets. Products are sold in contracts identified with individual customers and in sets, as a package of goods or services.

The Company recognizes sales revenues upon delivery to the customer 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. Delivery is considered to be the moment when the customer accepts the goods, and the risks and benefits related to the property are transferred.

Some lubricant sales contracts cannot be purchased separately from a package of services. However, the goods and services are clearly distinct in the contracts. This sales modality represents two separate performance obligations and therefore revenue will be recognized for each of these performance obligations when control of the respective goods and services is transferred to the customer. The transaction price be allocated to different performance obligations based on the independent selling price, in which revenues are identified, measured and recorded separately.

Trade incentives, including cash incentives, discounts and volume rebates, and free or discounted goods or services, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue.

Discounts, rebates, credits, price concessions, performance bonuses and similar incentives are treated as variable consideration and included in the transaction price at the company’s best estimate, and is included in revenue to the extent that it is highly probable that there will be no significant reversal of the cumulative amount of revenue when any pricing uncertainty is resolved.

 

  ii.

Services provided

The Company provides gas distribution services through the subsidiary Comgás and logistics services through the subsidiary Cosan Logística. The fair value and selling prices of individual services are broadly similar.

 

  iii.

Billed revenue

The company provides gas distribution services through the subsidiary Comgás. Fair value and service selling prices are conveniently released and recognized when its value is measured reliably, recognized as having no result at the same volume as those delivered to customers based on the monthly measurements performed.

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

 

 

  iv.

Unbilled revenue

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.

 

  v.

Services rendered

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.

 

  vi.

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.

 

  vii.

Infrastructure concessions

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.

The Company’s risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

Where all relevant criteria are met, hedge accounting is applied to remove the accounting mismatch between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This will effectively result in recognizing interest expense at a fixed interest rate for the hedged floating rate loans and inventory at the fixed foreign currency rate for the hedged purchases.

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 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.

 

  a)

Market risk

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.

 

  i.

Foreign exchange risk

As at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had the following net exposure to the exchange rate variations on assets and liabilities denominated in Dollar (US$) and Euro (€):

The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from U.S. Dollar denominated financial instruments and the impact on other components of equity arises from foreign forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges though its joint ventures.

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Real to U.S. Dollar and Euro (€) at December 31, 2019 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. Stressed scenarios (positive and negative effects, before tax effects) were defined based on changes of a 25% and 50% to the U.S. Dollar and Euro (€) exchange rates used in the probable scenario. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries monitor the fluctuations in variable interest rates in connection with its borrowings, especially those that accrue interest using LIBOR, and uses derivative instruments in order to minimize variable interest rate fluctuation risks.

Credit risk

The Company’s regular operations expose it to potential defaults when customers, suppliers and counterparties are unable to comply with their financial or other commitments. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by entering into transactions with a diverse pool of counterparties. However, the Company continues to remain subject to unexpected third party financial failures that could disrupt its operations. The exposure to credit risk was as follows:

The Company is also exposed to risks in connection with its cash management activities and temporary investments.

Liquid assets are invested primarily in government security and other investments in Banks with a minimum grade of “A.” 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. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and derivative financial instruments are determined by rating instruments widely accepted by the market and are arranged as follows:

Post-employment benefits

Accounting policy

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.

  a)

Defined contribution

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.

The Company provides defined contribution plans to all employees. The plan assets are held Futura plan (Futura II – Supplementary Pension Entity) and Comgás Pension Plan – PLAC. The Company and its subsidiaries do not have a legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all of the benefits owed.

 

  b)

Defined benefit

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 statement of financial position 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.

The defined pension plan is governed by 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 provide depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the amounts of contributions totaled R$ 30,151 (R$ 26,808 and R$ 22,796 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively).

Share-based payment

Accounting policy

The fair value of share-based payment benefits at the grant date is recognized as employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity for the period in which employees unconditionally acquire the right to benefits.

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of shares for which there is an expectation that the conditions of service and non-market acquisition conditions will be met in such a way that the amount finally recognized as an expense is based on the number of actions that actually meet the conditions of the service and non-market acquisition conditions on the date the vesting date is acquired. For non-vesting share-based payment benefits, the fair value on the grant date of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no change to the difference between expected and actual benefits.

On May 21, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the replacement of the 5,029,000 stock option plans to the stock-based compensation plan, whose participants may opt for voluntary membership. If all participants sign-off the replacement, 2,396,110 shares of subsidiary Cosan S.A. will be granted in replacement of the currently existing options and the fair value remeasured. In the modification, an incremental cost of R$ 52,897 was calculated, of which R$ 29,294 was immediately recognized in the income statement and R$ 23,603 will be recognized over the vesting of each program.

Description of share-based payment arrangements

 

  i.

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to fair value of the equity instruments on the date on which they are granted and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date on which the employees become fully entitled to the award. A corresponding credit is recognized within equity. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the company (market conditions). Non-vesting conditions, such as the condition that employees contribute to a savings-related plan, are taken into account in the grant-date fair value, a failure to meet a non-vesting condition, where this within the control of the employee is treated as a cancellation and any remaining unrecognized cost is expensed. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have on vesting restrictions. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock-price volatility, expected life of the stock option or stock grant and yield. The last two years of historical data shares value of the Company and subsidiaries have been considered in setting the assumptions.

Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility the Company’s share price, particularly over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the instruments has been based on historical experience and general option holder behavior.

For other equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the goods or services received and the corresponding increase inequity are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received unless their fair value cannot reliably estimated. If the fair value of the goods and services received cannot be reliably estimated, the transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

 

  ii.

Cash-Settled transactions

The Company has phantom stock plan that provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other cash-based awards to certain employees. SARs provide the opportunity to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common shares less the grant prince. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value, measured according to the market-to-market of the Cosan’s shares. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  iii.

Employee share scheme (Stock-based compensation plan)

A scheme under which share may be issued by the company to employees for no cash consideration was approved by shareholders at the 2016 annual general meeting.

Under the scheme, eligible employees may be granted ordinary shares annually for no cash consideration. The number of shares issued to participants in the scheme is the offer amount divided by the weighted average price at which the Company’s shares are traded on the Stock Exchange. The shares are recognized at the closing share price on the grant date (grant date fair value) as an issue of treasury shares and as part of employee benefit costs in the period the shares are granted.

For equity-settled share based compensation, expense is based on the grant date fair value of the awards expected to vest over the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value of each tranche is recognized over is respective vesting period. At the end of each reporting year, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of the revisions in the income statement.

The Black-Scholes methodology was used to calculate the fair value under the terms of the Stock-Based Compensation Plan.

Subsequent events

 

25.1

Contribution of equity interest

On January 14, 2020, the Company contributed to the share capital of the wholly-owned subsidiary Distribuidora de Gás Participações S.A. (“DG”) the totality of the shares it held in Comgás, that is, 103,699,333 common shares and 27,682,044 preferred shares, equivalent to 99.15% of the total share capital of Comgás, for the amount of R $ 2,861,936.

As it is a common control transaction, there are no effects on the consolidated financial statements. The investment in Comgás will be derecognized by Cosan S.A. and the investment in DG for the same amount will be recognized.

 

25.2

Early redemption of the 2nd issue of debentures

On January 16, 2020, the term for optional voluntary early redemption of the 2nd issue of simple debentures by Cosan SA ended. Debentures holders that are redeemed in advance are executed only at the unit face value of the debentures, plus the remuneration calculated temporarily from the last payment details of the debentures on August 28, 2019 until the redemption data.

The amount paid as a redemption was R$ 1,735,203 and, therefore, the debentures were fully settled.

 

25.3

Receipt of interim dividends

On January 28, 2020, the indirect subsidiary Comgás deliberated and approved the payment of interim dividends in the amount of R$ 135,907, distributed based on the results for the year of 2019. Considering the equity interest contribution made on January 14, 2020, such dividends were paid to DG.

 

25.4

Succession in the executive board

The Board of Directors approved the proposal for succession of the Chief Executive Officer and Legal Vice-President of Cosan SA, as suggested by the People Committee, in which Marcos Marinho Lutz and Marcelo de Souza Scarcela Portela, respectively, will dedicate themselves exclusively to the Boards and Group Committees as of April 1, 2020. Luis Henrique Cals de Beauclair Guimarães, current president of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A., and Maria Rita de Carvalho Drummond, current Legal Director of Cosan SA, will assume, respectively, the presidency and legal vice-presidency of the Company on the same date.

 

25.5

Acquisition of Compass

On January 30, 2020, the Company acquired, through its subsidiary Comercializadora de Gás S.A., control of the companies Compass Comercializadora de Energia Ltda., Compass Geração Ltda. and Compass Energia Ltda. (“Compass”) for the amount of R$ 95,000. The purpose of the investment is to enter the electricity trading business.

New standards and interpretations not yet effective

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments were issued by the IASB, but are not effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019. Although early adoption is permitted, the Company did not adopt them in advance in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

26.1

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

This standard introduces a new model for accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with comparative figures required. Based on preliminary work we estimate the impact will be immaterial, we are in the process of reviewing our existing arrangements to determine the impact on adoption.

No other new accounting standards issued or in force during the fiscal year had or should have a material impact on these interim consolidated financial statements.

 

26.2

Definition of Material – Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8

The amendments are intended to make the definition of material in IAS 1 easier to understand and are not intended to alter the underlying concept of materiality in IFRS Standards. The concept of ‘obscuring’ material information with immaterial information has been included as part of the new definition.

The threshold for materiality influencing users has been changed from ‘could influence’ to ‘could reasonably be expected to influence’.

The definition of material in IAS 8 has been replaced by a reference to the definition of material in IAS 1. In addition, the IASB amended other Standards and the Conceptual Framework that contain a definition of material or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency.

The amendments are applied prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with earlier application is not permitted.

 

26.3

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

Together with the revised Conceptual Framework, which became effective upon publication on 29 March 2018, the IASB has also issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards. The document contains amendments to IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 6, IFRS 14, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22, and SIC-32.

Not all amendments, however, update those pronouncements with regard to references to and quotes from the framework so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework. Some pronouncements are only updated to indicate which version of the Framework they are referencing to (the IASC Framework adopted by the IASB in 2001, the IASB Framework of 2010, or the new revised Framework of 2018) or to indicate that definitions in the Standard have not been updated with the new definitions developed in the revised Conceptual Framework.

The amendments, where they actually are updates, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with earlier application are not permitted.

26.4

Amendments to IFRS 3

Definition of a business

The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as a business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

Additional guidance is provided that helps to determine whether a substantive process has been acquired.

The amendments introduce an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. Under the optional concentration test, the acquired set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets.

The amendments are applied prospectively to all business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020, with early application is not permitted.

 

26.5

IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (amendments)

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognized in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognized in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by the IASB; however, earlier application of the amendments is not permitted. The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of these amendments may have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods should such transactions arise.
