Report of Independent Auditor

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A.

We have audited the combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustĺveis S.A “Raízen Group”, which comprise the combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015, before the effects of the adjustments to retrospectively reflect the change in accounting for bearer plants and the correction of an error related to classification of securities described in Note 2.4. The 2015 financial statements before the effects of the adjustments described in Note 2.4 are not presented herein.

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit, before the effects of the adjustments described above, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015, before the effects of the adjustments to retrospectively reflect the change in accounting for bearer plants and the correction of an error related to classification of securities described in Note 2.4, present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Raĺzen Group for the year ended March 31, 2015, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter

As discussed in Note 1(e) to the combined consolidated financial statements, the business included in these combined consolidated financial statements does not operate as a single legal entity. Therefore, these combined consolidated financial statements does not necessarily represent the results that would have been obtained if these companies had operated as a single legal entity during the period, nor does it indicate any future results. Our opinion is not modified with respect of this matter.

Other matter

Those adjustments were audited by other auditors.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustiveis S.A.:

We have audited the accompanying combined consolidated statements of financial position of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. (“Raízen Group”) as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017. These combined consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Raízen Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The accompanying combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen Group as of March 31, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated June 22, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements, before the restatement described in note 2.4 to the combined consolidated financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Raízen Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raízen Group as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We draw attention to Notes 1(e) and 2.1(a) to the combined consolidated financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation and presentation of these combined consolidated financial statements. These combined consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent the financial position, financial performance, or related cash flows that would have been obtained if the Raízen Group had operated as a single legal entity during the period. The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared to present the financial position, performance, and cash flows of the entities under indirect joint control of Cosan Limited and Royal Dutch Shell and, therefore may not be useful for others purposes. Our conclusion is unqualified in respect to this matter.

We also have audited the adjustments described in note 2.4 that were applied to restate the comparative information presented as at and for the year ended March 31, 2015 to reflect the adoption of a new accounting principle and the correction of an immaterial error. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2015 combined consolidated financial statements of the Raízen Group other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2015 combined consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

In a Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on August 31, 2015, shareholders Shell and Cosan decided and approved redemption of 1,641,750,012 common shares against RCSA capital decrease in the amount of R$ 1,500,000. This redemption of common shares and capital decrease were made in proportion to interest held by shareholders, corresponding to 50% of each one’s common shares.

Additionally, in Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on the same date, shareholders Shell and Cosan decided and approved RESA’s capital increase of R$ 1,500,000 in domestic currency through issuance of 1,340,687,564 new nominative common shares, carried out proportionately to 50% interest held by each shareholders. Payment occurred through redemption of part of shares held by shareholders in RCSA, against capital decrease in the same amount of RESA’s capital increase.

The event above did not cause changes in the Group’s shareholding control, since the shareholders Shell and Cosan maintained control through a 50% interest in the capital of RCSA and RESA, and consequently of the Group.

(d) Corporate transactions

During the year ended March 31, 2017, RESA and Wilmar International Limited created a joint venture, each holding 50% interest, named Raízen and Wilmar Sugar Pte. Ltd., or “RAW”, to meet growing global demand of VHP sugar from Brazil, combining strengths of the greatest Brazilian producer of VHP sugar with the greatest global trader of such commodity. All relevant regulatory approvals for establishing a joint venture were obtained.

During the year ended March 31, 2017, RCSA recognized the gross gain on the disposal of ownership interest in Serviços e Tecnologia de Pagamentos S.A. (“STP”), in the amount of R$ 166,103.

Additionally, in the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Group had the following corporate restructurings: (i) downstream merger of Raízen Tarumã Ltda. (“Tarumã”) into Raízen Paraguaçu Ltda. (“Paraguaçu”); (ii) merger of Raízen Luxembourg S.A. (“Luxembourg”) by Raízen Fuels Finance S.A.

(“Curupay”) by TEAS – Terminal Exportador de Álcool de Santos. Details of these transactions are described in Note 27 and except for the items (vi) and (vii), these transactions did not impact the combined consolidated financial statements.

 

(e) Other information

The synergy between RESA and RCSA makes Raízen Group to be currently positioned in a special place in the Brazilian market. The two companies work in a complementary manner, and therefore, reporting their combined consolidated businesses is a key tool to allow the market to evaluate the Raízen Group as a whole.

Although they are not set up as a group pursuant to article 265 of Brazilian Corporation Law (“LSA”), companies of Raízen Group disclose such combined consolidated financial statements to provide information that best reflects their gross cash flows from operating activities.

The Raízen Group’s combined consolidated financial statements are being presented exclusively to provide information about all the Raízen Group’s activities in a single set of financial statements, regardless of the Group’s corporate structure.

As a result, these combined consolidated financial statements do not represent the individual or consolidated financial statements of an entity and its subsidiaries and should not be used as a basis for the calculation of dividends or taxes, or for any other corporate or statutory purposes and does not necessarily provide indicators of the current or future profit or loss that would have been earned had these companies been operating as one single legal entity.

The combined consolidated financial statements are a single set of financial statements of two entities that are jointly controlled. RESA and RCSA used the definition of control in conformity with the IFRS 10—Consolidated Financial Statements, with respect to both the existence of joint control and also to the consolidation procedures.

 

b) Measuring basis

The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared using historical cost as the value base, except, when applicable, for the valuation of certain assets and liabilities such as derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and biological assets, which are measured at fair value.

 

c) Functional and presentation currency

These combined consolidated financial statements are being presented in Reais, functional currency of the Group. All balances have been rounded to the nearest value, except otherwise indicated. The financial statements of each subsidiary included in the consolidation and combination, as well as those utilized as a basis to account for investments under the equity method, are prepared based on the functional currency of each company. For the subsidiaries located abroad, the financial statements have been translated into Reais based on the foreign exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. The results were translated at the average monthly rate during the year. Translation effects are recognized in equity in these subsidiaries.

 

d) Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of combined consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments and estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the amounts presented for revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the reporting date.

These estimates and assumptions are reviewed in a continuous manner. Reviews in relation to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are reviewed and in any future periods affected.

Should there be a significant change in the facts and circumstances on which the estimates and assumptions made are based, there may be a material impact on the Group’s results and financial position.

Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

The significant accounting estimates and assumptions are set out below:

Income tax, social contribution and other taxes payable

The Group is subject to income tax and social contribution, when applicable, in all countries in which it operates. Significant judgment is required to determine the provision for income taxes in these various countries.

In many operations, the final determination of the tax is uncertain. When applicable, the Group also recognizes provisions to cover certain situations in which it is probable that additional tax amounts will be owed. When final result of such issues differs from initially estimated and recorded amounts, these differences affect current and deferred tax liabilities and income (loss) and comprehensive income in the period in which definitive value is determined.

Investment grant—Value-added Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS)

The Group, through RESA’s subsidiaries Raízen Centroeste Açúcar e Alcool Ltda. (“Raízen Centroeste”) and Raízen Caarapó Açúcar e Álcool Ltda. (“Raízen Caarapó”), joined a tax incentive program in the form of financing of a portion of the ICMS due. The use of these investment grants is conditioned on compliance with all the obligations established under the program, which are controlled by the Group.

The income from these incentives is recorded in the statement of income for the year, as disclosed in Notes 21 and 22.

Deferred income and social contribution tax

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for all tax loss carryforwards not utilized to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable income to allow their use in the future. In addition, the Group recognized deferred taxes based on temporary differences determined based on tax basis and book value of certain assets and liabilities, using prevailing rates. Substantial judgment from Management is required to determine the amount of the deferred income tax and social contribution assets that can be recognized, based on the reasonable term and amount of future taxable income, along with future tax rationalization.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented at net value in the statement of financial position only when there is a legal right and the intention of offsetting them upon calculation of current taxes, related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority. For further details on deferred taxes, see Note 16.

Biological assets

Biological assets are measured at fair value on the reporting date, and the effects of changes in fair value between the periods are recognized directly in the cost of products sold. For further information on the assumptions used, see Note 8.

Beginning as of year ended March 31, 2017, agricultural products’ fair value started to substantially approximate fair value of biological asset realization, mainly due to the fact that cash flows quantity declined, and to the fact that only annual assumptions are used and long-term assumptions are no longer used for calculation of biological assets’ fair value after adoption of changes in rules mentioned in note 2.4.a.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill

The accounting treatment given to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes estimates to determine the useful life for depreciation and amortization purposes, in addition to the fair value at acquisition date of the assets acquired through business combinations.

The Group annually tests the recoverable values of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Property, plant and equipment and defined-intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The determination of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill was allocated also includes the use of estimates and assumptions and requires a significant degree of Management’s judgment.

Provision for legal disputes

The Group constitutes a provision for tax, civil, environmental and labor contingencies. Determination of the likelihood of loss includes determination of evidences available, hierarchy of laws, jurisprudence available, more recent court decisions and relevance thereof in legal system, as well as evaluation of internal and external attorneys. Such provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in circumstances, such as statute of limitations applicable, tax inspection conclusions or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position cannot be obtained from active markets, it is determined by using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. The data for these methods are based on those adopted by the market, when possible. However, when such data are not available, a certain level of judgment is required to establish the fair value. Judgment includes considerations on the data utilized, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in the assumptions related to these factors can affect the fair value presented for the financial instruments. For more details on financial instruments, see note 24.

Exclusive investment funds controlled by the Group have been consolidated.

The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of control acquisition, and continue to be consolidated up to the date when control no longer exists. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group, and utilizing accounting policies consistent and, when required, with the policies adopted by the Group.

All balances maintained between combined consolidated companies, revenues and expenses, unrealized gains and losses, arising from transactions between companies are eliminated as a whole.

A change in the ownership interest in a subsidiary which does not result in loss of control is accounted for as a transaction between shareholders in equity.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is equal to the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, when applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in the statement of income as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Non-controlling interests to be recognized are determined for each acquisition carried out.

The excess of the consideration transferred plus the acquisition-date fair value of any previous ownership interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. For acquisitions in which the Group attributes fair value to non-controlling interests, the determination of goodwill also includes the value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill is determined considering the Group’s and non-controlling interests. When the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income for the year as bargain purchase.

 

2.3 Description of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies described below have been consistently applied to all the years presented in these combined consolidated financial statements.

 

 

F-22


Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

a) Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales of products or goods, including sales in the foreign market made by RESA’s subsidiaries, Raízen Trading LLP and Raízen International Universal Corporation, are recognized when the entity transfers to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products and goods, and when it is probable that future economic benefits will be received by companies of the Group. Selling prices are established based on purchase orders or contracts.

Goods or services whose income is deferred are recorded within “Other obligations” and accounted for as income upon transfer of significant risks and goods of ownership to the client or provision of the service itself.

The revenue from the sale of the electric power co-generated is recorded based on the energy available in the network and the tariffs specified in the supply agreements, or the current market price, according to each case. Due to the billing flow, the electric power produced and sold through auctions is initially recognized as prepaid income, during the billing to clients and, is only recognized in the statement of income for the year when it is available to be used by the clients.

Income from leases and storage comprises leases of gas stations and storage of fuel and similar products in the RCSA terminals and its subsidiaries, and is recognized as the services are rendered, under “Other operating income, net” (Note 22).

Revenue is presented net of taxes (Excise Tax—IPI, Value-added Tax on Sales and Services—ICMS, Social Integration Program—PIS, Social Contribution on Revenues (COFINS), Economic Domain Intervention Contribution (CIDE), National Institute of Social Security (INSS) and other.), returns, rebates and discounts, amortization referring to exclusive supply rights, as well as of sales between Group companies.

 

b) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions, or the dates of valuation when items are remeasured.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into Reais using the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date, and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of these transactions and the translation at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the statement of income within “Financial income (loss)”, unless they qualify as hedge accounting, in which case they are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at the historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the translation rate of the transaction start date. Non-monetary assets that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value is determined.

 

c) Financial instruments – Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

 

(i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The Group classifies its financial assets upon initial recognition.

 

F-23


Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of investments not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

The Group’s financial assets are presented in Note 24.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, which can be as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and assets designated in the initial recognition, as measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are classified as held-for-trading if they are originated with the purpose of being sold or repurchased in the short term. Derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those designated as hedging instruments, which are recognized in shareholders’ equity and subsequently recognized in the statement of income, as described in item (v) below. Interest, monetary variation and foreign exchange variation and variations arising from measurement at fair value in income (loss) when incurred, under Financial income (loss).

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and usually not quoted in an active market. After the initial measurement, these financial assets are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (effective interest rate), less impairment loss, when applicable. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or “premium” in the acquisition and fees or costs incurred. The amortization of the effective interest rate method is included under Financial income (loss) in the statement of income.

Derecognition (write-off)

A financial asset is written off when:

 

•   The rights to receive cash flows from the asset expire; and,

 

•   The Group transfers its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or assumes an obligation to pay the cash flows received in full to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and (a) the Group transfers substantially all risks and rewards of the assets, or (b) the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards related to the asset, but transfers the control over the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses, at the reporting dates, whether there is any evidence that determines that an asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is considered impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (known as a loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets and can be reliably estimated.

The criteria used by the Group to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include: (i) issuer or debtor’s relevant financial difficulties; (ii) a breach of contract, such as a default or delay on payment of interest or the principal; (iii) the Group, due to economic or legal reasons relating to the financial difficulty of the borrower, assures the borrower a concession that the creditor would not consider; (iv) it is likely that the borrower will declare bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; (v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to the financial difficulties; (vi) observable data indicating a measurable reduction in estimated future cash flows from a financial asset portfolio since the initial recognition of the assets, even if the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including: (a) national or local economic conditions correlating with adverse changes in the payment situation of the portfolio’s loan; and, (b) national or local economic conditions correlating with defaults on the portfolio’s assets.

If, in a subsequent period, the value of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is objectively be related to an event occurring after the impairment is recognized (such as, an improvement in the debtor’s credit classification) the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss will be recognized in the statement of income in the period that the event occurs.

 

(ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories: fair value through profit or loss, including derivatives classified as effective hedge instrument, as the case may be or amortized cost. The Group classifies its financial liabilities upon initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and in the case of loans and financings, include directly related transaction cost.

The Group’s financial liabilities are presented in Note 24.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, which can be as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

It includes financial liabilities usually traded before maturity, liabilities designated in the initial recognition at fair value by means of the result and derivatives, except for those designated as hedge instruments. Interest, monetary variation and foreign exchange variation and variations arising from measurement at fair value, when applicable, are recognized in statement of income when incurred.

Amortized cost

After initial recognition, loans and financing subject to interest are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement upon settlement of liabilities, as well as during the amortization process by the effective interest rate method.

Interest payments on loans and financing are classified as cash flows from financing activities.

Derecognition (write-off)

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, canceled or expired.

 

(iii) Offset of financial instruments—net presentation

Assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a current legal and enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and if there are an intention of offsetting, or realizing the asset and settling the liability simultaneously.

 

(iv) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments actively traded in organized financial markets is determined based on quoted market prices at the close of business at the statement of financial position date, without deduction of transaction costs.

The fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques may include the use of recent market transactions (on an arm’s length basis); by reference to the current fair value of another similar instrument; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

An analysis of the fair value of financial instruments and more details on how they are calculated are provided in Note 24.

 

(v) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as non-deliverable forwards, commodity forward contracts and interest rate swaps to provide protection against the risk of variation in the foreign exchange rates, prices of commodities and interest rates, respectively. The derivative financial instruments designated in hedging operations are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative is obtained, and are subsequently remeasured also at fair value. Derivatives are presented as assets when the fair value of the financial instrument is positive; and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives during the year are recognized directly in the statement of income, with the exception of the effective portion of the hedge designated as hedge accounting, which is recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income.

For hedge accounting purposes, there are the following classifications:

 

•   fair value hedge, in providing protection against exposure to changes in the fair value of recognized asset or liability or of unrecognized firm commitment, or of identified part of such asset, liability or firm commitment, which is attributable to a particular risk and may affect the result;

 

•   cash flow hedge, in providing protection against the variation in the cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or with a foreseen transaction that is highly likely and that might affect the result; or

 

•   hedge of a net investment in a foreign operating unit.

In the initial recognition of a hedge relationship, the Group formally classifies and documents the hedge relationship to which they wish to apply hedge accounting, as well the objective and the risk management strategy of company management to put the hedge into effect.

The documentation includes: (i) the identification of the hedge instrument, (ii) the hedged item or transaction, (iii) the nature of the risk to be hedged, (iv) the prospective demonstration of the efficacy of the hedge relationship and (v) the way in which the Group intends to assess the efficacy of the hedge instrument for purposes of offsetting the exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flows related to the hedged risk. As regards cash flow hedge, the nature of the high probability of occurrence of the foreseen transaction to be hedged, as well as the foreseen periods of transfer of the gains or losses resulting from the hedge instruments from equity to income, are also included in the documentation of the hedge relationship.

These hedges are expected to be highly effective to offset changes in the fair value or cash flows. They are permanently evaluated to verify whether they were indeed highly effective over the course of all the base periods for which they were intended.

In practice, Group’s main hedges that meet accounting hedge criteria are as follows:

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is initially recorded directly in equity in the other comprehensive income (loss), while any ineffective portion is recognized directly in the statement of income.

 

F-27


Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged income or interest expense is recognized, or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts recognized in equity are transferred to the initial book value of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to the statement of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in comprehensive income (loss) remains deferred in equity within reserve for other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.

The types of financial instruments designated as hedge accounting are presented in Note 24.

Fair value hedge and fair value option of certain financial liabilities

As mentioned in Note 1.c, the Group designates certain debts, mainly, related to PPEs as liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, in order to eliminate, or significantly reduce, the mismatch in measurement that would otherwise result in the recognition of gains or losses on the loans and related derivatives on different bases. As a result, fluctuations of certain loans at fair value are recognized in Financial income, as Fair value of liability financial instruments, as part of Financial expenses.

 

d) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the average cost of acquisition or production, not exceeding net realizable value. Costs of finished products and products in process include raw material, direct labor costs and other direct costs as well as respective direct production expenses (based on regular operating capacity) less loan costs. The net realizable value is the sales price estimated for the normal course of the businesses, less estimated completion execution costs and selling expenses.

The estimated losses for slow-moving or obsolete warehouse inventories are constituted when these inventories have not moved for a period of 2 years and are not considered strategic by the Management.

 

e) Investments in associates and joint-ventures

Investments in companies over which the Group has significant influence or joint control are accounted for under the equity method. They are initially recognized at in the statement of financial position at cost, plus any changes after the acquisition of the ownership interest.

The statement of income reflects the share in the results from operations of associated companies and joint ventures based on the equity accounting method. When a change is directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity of the associated company or joint venture, the Group will recognize its share in the variations in the statement of changes in equity.

Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

After applying the equity accounting method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize additional impairment on the investment. The Group determines, at each statement of financial position closing date, if there is objective evidence that investment in the associated company or joint venture suffered impairment loss. If so, the Group calculates the amount of impairment loss as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associated company or joint venture and the book value and recognizes the amount in the statement of income.

When there is loss of significant influence on the associated company or joint control of the joint venture, the Group recognizes the remainder investment at fair value.

Unrealized gains from transactions between the Group and its associated companies and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest. The accounting policies of the associated companies and joint ventures are changed when required in order to assure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

 

f) Biological assets

Biological assets refer to standing sugarcane, that are measured at fair value, excluding the land on which they are located and the sugarcane roots, under the discounted cash flow method.

For standing sugarcane, the Group uses future cash flows in accordance with the productivity cycle projected for each harvest, taking into consideration the estimated useful life of each crop, the prices of total recoverable sugar, estimated productivities, estimated costs to be incurred with production, harvesting, loading and transportation per planted hectare.

Changes in fair values between periods are allocated to in Statement of Income under “Cost of products sold”.

 

g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment items (sugarcane roots included) are stated at historical acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when applicable.

The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets. The cost of assets built by the Company includes materials and direct labor, as well as any other costs attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition requires for them to operate in the manner intended by Management, and loan costs on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs relating to funds raised for works in progress related the assets are capitalized until the projects are concluded.

RESA and its subsidiaries perform the main maintenance activities scheduled for their mills on an annual basis. This usually occurs between the months from January to March, with the objective of inspecting and replacing components.

The main annual maintenance costs include costs of labor, materials, outsourced services and overhead allocated during the off-season period. These costs are classified as frequent replacement parts and components, in property, plant and equipment, and are fully amortized in the following crop season.

The cost of an equipment item that must be replaced on an annual basis is accounted for as a component of the equipment costs and depreciated over the following crop. The costs of normal periodic maintenance are accounted for in expenses when incurred as the replaced components do not improve the production capacity of the asset or introduce refinements in the equipment.

In RCSA, estimated costs to be incurred with removal of fuel storage tanks are estimated and recorded as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment, with a corresponding entry to the provision that supports such costs in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the estimated obligation term.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of any renewal to increase useful life should be activated and included in the asset’s book value, if it is probable that future economic benefits following the renewal will exceed the performance standard initially assessed for the existing asset and that such benefits will accrue to the Group. The main refurbishments are depreciated over remaining useful lives of related assets.

Gains and losses from divestitures are determined by the comparison of results with the book value and are recognized in the statement of income under “Other operating income, net”.

Lands are not depreciated. On March 31, 2017, 2016 and April 1, 2015 depreciation was calculated based on estimated useful life for each asset. The annual weighted average depreciation rates are as follows:

 

Class of fixed assets

   2017     2016     April 1,
2015
 

Buildings and improvements

     2 %      2 %      3 % 

Machinery, equipment and facilities

     5 %      5 %      5 % 

Aircrafts and vehicles

     8 %      8 %      7 % 

Furniture and fixtures and IT equipment

     14 %      13 %      15 % 

Sugarcane roots

     20 %      20 %      20 % 

Other

     5 %      10 %      10 % 

Residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, at the end of each year.

 

h) Leases

Whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is determined based on the substance of the contract at the inception date.

Under finance lease contracts where substantially all risks and rewards are transferred to the Group, incidental to ownership of the leased asset, they are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of income. A leased asset is depreciated during its useful life.

Operating lease agreements are recognized as operating expenses in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

i) Intangible assets

 

i) Goodwill

Goodwill is represented by the positive difference between the paid amount for the acquisition of a business and the net fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquired company.

Goodwill is measured at cost, less impairment losses, when applicable, and the impairment test is carried out at least every year. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each cash-generating units of the Group that are expected to benefit from the business combination, regardless of other assets or liabilities of the acquiree being allocated to those units.

 

ii) Intangible assets with defined useful lives

Intangible assets with defined useful lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, when applicable.

On March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the annual weighted average amortization rates are as follows:

 

Class of intangible assets

   Average rates  

Software license

     20 % 

Brands

     10 % 

Agricultural partnership agreements

     9 % 

Sugarcane supply agreements

     10 % 

Contractual relationships with clients (a)

     4 % 

Exclusive supply rights (b)

     12 % 

Public concession rights of use

     20 % 

Technology

     10 % 

Other

     29 % 

 

(a) Contractual relationships with clients

Contractual relationships with clients acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Contractual relationships with clients have a finite useful life and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the client relationship.

 

(b) Exclusive supply rights

This is equal to bonuses granted to clients (Note 13) and depends on terms and future performance, in particular of the volumes as provided in supply agreements. Inasmuch as contractual conditions are met, bonuses are amortized and recognized in the statement of income, as Taxes, deductions and rebates on sales (Note 20).

l) Impairment of non-financial assets:

The Group assesses every year whether there are indicators of an asset’s loss of value. In the event such indicators are identified, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable value of an asset is the greater among: (a) fair value less costs that would be incurred to sell it, and (b) its value in use. When required, value in use is usually determined based on the discounted cash flow (before taxes) from the continued use of the asset until the end of its useful life.

Regardless of the existence of impairment indicators, goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, if any, are tested for impairment at least once a year.

When the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable value, the loss is recognized as an operating expense in the statement of income.

 

m) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is likely that an outflow of funds will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

n) Employee benefits

The Group has a defined contribution and partial defined benefit plan, in which maintains a private pension plan for all employees.

The Group recognizes a liability based on a methodology that considers a number of factors determined by actuarial estimates, which employ assumptions for defining pension plan costs or income.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are stated directly in equity as other comprehensive income, when they occur.

Past costs of services are immediately recognized in the statement of income.

The Group recognizes an estimated liability when it is contractually compelled or when there is a past practice that created a constructive obligation.

 

o) Income and social contribution taxes

Income (expenses) tax and social contribution expenses of the year include current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent they are related to items directly recognized in equity or comprehensive income, when applicable. In that case, the tax is also recorded in equity or comprehensive income.

The current and deferred income tax and social contribution charge is calculated based on enacted, or substantially enacted, tax acts, at the statement of financial position date of countries in which the Group’s entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions taken by the Group in the calculations of income tax with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretations and establishes provisions when appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Income tax is computed on taxable income at the rate of 15%, plus 10% surtax for income exceeding R$ 240 in the 12-month period, whereas social contribution is computed at the rate of 9% on taxable income, recognized on the accrual basis. That is, on a compound basis, the Group is subject to a theoretical tax rate equivalent to 34%.

Deferred income tax and social contribution in connection with tax losses, social contribution negative base and temporary differences are shown as net in the statement of financial position when there is a legal right and an intention to offset these on calculation current taxes related with the same legal entity and the same tax authority. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or countries are in general presented separately, and not at net value. Deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rates in force when they are realized or reviewed annually.

Tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which these temporary differences can be offset.

Prepayments or current amounts that can be offset are presented in current and non-current assets, in accordance with their expected realization.

 

p) Capital and remuneration to shareholders

The capital is comprised of common and preferred shares. Incremental expenses attributed directly to share issued, if any, are shown as a deduction from equity, as an additional capital contribution, net of tax effects.

In the parent companies RESA and RCSA, the only existing class A preferred share as well as each common share, is entitled to one vote on resolutions by each company’s shareholders’ meetings, as well as R$ 0.01 (one centavo) fixed annual dividends. Such voting rights are restricted to subsidiaries and not to the Group.

Class B and C preferred shares issued by RESA and RCSA, respectively, have no voting rights and are intended to refund assets, mainly represented by tax benefits contributed by shareholders Cosan and Shell respectively, as these benefit the Group.

Class D preferred shares have no voting rights and are entitled to a fixed annual dividend in RESA as well as in RCSA, to shareholder Shell. Shareholder compensation will take place in the form of dividends and/or interest on own capital, based on the limitations defined in RESA and RCSA company by-laws and in legislation in force.

Class E preferred shares issued by RESA and RCSA have voting rights and are entitled to a fixed annual dividend to shareholder Shell. Shareholder compensation will take place in the form of dividends and/or interest on own capital, based on the limitations defined in RCSA company by-laws and in legislation in force.

q) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for according to the acquisition method and assets liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable of the company or acquired business are measured at fair value for the purposes of calculation and recognition of the goodwill arising on the transaction in accordance with effective accounting standards. Goodwill represents the surplus of acquisition cost in view of the Group’s interest in fair value, net of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in the company acquired. If consideration is lower than fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the difference must be recognized in statement of income.

 

r) Environmental issues

The Group reduces risks in connection with environmental issues by means of operating procedures and controls and investments in equipment and pollution control systems. The Group recognizes a provision for losses with environmental expenditures inasmuch as it is necessary to undertake remedial actions for the damages caused.

 

2.4. Restatement of corresponding values

 

(a) Amendments to IAS 16—Property and equipment and IAS 41—Agriculture

RESA adopted amendments to IAS 16—Property and equipment and IAS 41—Agriculture standards as of April 1, 2016. With such changes, bearer biological assets, in case of RESA, sugarcane roots are out of IAS 41 scope and must be accounted for in accordance with IAS 16, that is, cost less accumulated depletion and possible impairment loss. Consumable biological asset, in case of RESA, such as sugar cane, is measured at fair value and continues in the scope of IAS 41.

The transition date of said changes in standards was April 1, 2014, the beginning of the earliest comparative period of the financial statements, since the Group discloses three years of results in its annual financial statements filed in the Security Exchange Commission (“SEC”) due to Rule 3-09 applicable to Cosan. RESA decided to adopt the deemed cost to fixed assets on the transition date.

 

(b) Correction of immaterial error—IAS 7

In 2017, the Group identified that some investments made through its exclusive investments funds in Financial Treasury Bills (LFT’s), maturing in more than 90 days, were mistakenly classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its financial statements, since 2015. Accordingly, these amounts had to be reclassified to Securities. This was corrected by restating all the amounts in financial statements affected in prior years.

2.5. New IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations (IASB Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee) applicable to financial information

The following new standards and interpretations were issued by the IASB but are not yet effective for the year ended March 31, 2017.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 includes new models for the classification and measurement of financial instruments and measurement of expected credit losses for financial and contractual assets, and new requirements on hedge accounting.

IFRS 9 becomes effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2018 (in the case of the Group, as from April 1, 2018) and replaces guidelines of IAS 39—Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement.

 

 

F-36


Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated interim financial information on March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

The effective impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 on the Group’s financial statements for 2018/19 crop cannot be estimated with confidence, as it will depend on the financial instruments held by the Group and the economic conditions in such years, as well as accounting decisions and judgment calls that the Group will make in the future. The new standard will require the Group to review its accounting procedures and internal controls related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and these changes are not yet concluded. However, the Group conducted a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of adopting IFRS 9 based on its position at March 31, 2017, and the hedge relationships in 2017/18 crop in the scope of IAS 39. Outcome of this evaluation is indicated in items below.

The Group will adopt IFRS 9 in its financial statements for year ending March 31, 2019 and is evaluating the possibility of using the prospective or retrospective approach, as is also evaluating if any practical expedient will be applicable to its operations and whether these will be used upon its adoption.

 

  (i) Classification—Financial assets

IFRS 9 contains a new approach to financial asset classification and measurement that reflects the business model in which the assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics.

IFRS 9 contains three main classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the categories existing in IAS 39 of held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and available for sale.

Based on its preliminary assessment, the Group does not consider that the new classification requirements, if applied at March 31, 2017, would have a significant impact on the accounting of interest earning bank deposits, restricted cash, trade notes receivable from clients, derivative financial instruments, related parties and other financial assets.

On March 31, 2017, the Group had no equity investments classified as available for sale. Upon adoption of IFRS 9, in case the Group has assets that may be classified as such, the Group may then decide to classify them as FVTOCI or FVTPL.

 

  (ii) Impairment—Financial and contractual assets

IFRS 9 replaces the “incurred losses” model of IAS 39 with a prospective “expected credit losses” model. This will require a relevant judgment as to how changes in economic factors affect the expected credit losses, which will be determined based on weighted probabilities.

The new model of expected losses will be applied to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI, with the exception of investments in equity instruments and contractual assets.

According to IFRS 9, the provisions for expected losses will be measured on one of the following bases:

 

  •   Expected credit losses for 12 months, i.e., credit losses that result from potential default events within 12 months after the reporting date; and

 

  •   Lifetime expected credit losses, i.e., credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

 

 

F-37


Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

The measurement of lifetime expected credit losses applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since its initial recognition, and the 12-months credit loss measurement applies if the risk has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. An entity may determine that the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk on the reporting date. However, the measurement of lifetime expected credit losses always applies to trade accounts receivable and contractual assets without a significant financing component; an entity may opt to apply this policy also to trade accounts receivable and contractual assets with a significant financing component.

The Group believes that impairment losses tend to increase and become more volatile for assets in IFRS 9 model, in case the economic environment in which the Group’s clients operate does not recover or remain at levels below Investment Grade.

The Group has not yet concluded the methodology for impairment that it will apply under IFRS 9, therefore, no quantitative estimate was determined.

 

  (iii) Classification—Financial liabilities

IFRS 9 retains a large part of the requirements of IAS 39 for the classification of financial liabilities.

However, according to IAS 39, all changes in fair value of the liabilities designated as FVTPL are recognized in statement of income, whereas, according to IFRS 9, these changes in fair value are generally reported as follows:

 

  •   the amount of the change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the financial liability is presented in OCI; and

 

  •   the remaining amount of the change in fair value is presented in income (loss).

As of March 31, 2017, the Group designated certain financing transactions at FVTPL to avoid an accounting mismatch with related derivative financial instruments. In the Group’s preliminary evaluation, we understand that impacts from Group’s own credit risk tend to be immaterial as the Group´s credit risk does not significantly change over time Accordingly, currently, no relevant impacts are expected in OCI, which, according to IAS 39, would have been recognized in income (loss).

 

  (iv) Hedge accounting

In the initial application of IFRS 9, the Group may choose, as an accounting policy, to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 instead of the new requirements of IFRS 9. The Group’s current plan is to opt to apply the requirements of IFRS 9.

IFRS 9 will require the Group to assure that hedge accounting relationships are aligned with the Group’s risk management objectives and strategies, and that the Group applies a more qualitative and forward-looking approach to assessing the effectiveness of the hedge. IFRS 9 also introduces new requirements for rebalancing hedging relationships and prohibits the voluntary discontinuation of hedge accounting. According to the new model, it is likely that more risk management strategies, particularly those of a hedge of a risk component (other than foreign currency risk) of a non-financial item, may qualify for hedge accounting. Currently, the Group does not hedge such risk components.

The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the variability of cash flows arising from changes in foreign exchange rates relating to loans, receivables, sales and purchases of inventories in foreign currency.

The Group is making a preliminary analysis of the main impacts of IFRS 9 on hedging transactions and, now, we are aware that possible new designations may be made, mainly those that are in compliance with our risk management policies and that did not qualify for hedging relations due to the minimum effectiveness ranges established by IAS 39and removed from IFRS 9.

 

  (v) Disclosures

IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, specifically regarding hedge accounting, credit risk and expected credit losses. The Group is making a preliminary evaluation and will be prepared to meet new IFRS 9 requirements upon its adoption.

IFRS 15—Income from Contracts with Clients

IFRS 15 introduces a comprehensive framework for determining whether and when income is recognized. IFRS 15 will become effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2018 (in case of Raízen, beginning as of April 1, 2018) and will replace current guidelines for recognition of revenue in IAS 18– Revenues, IAS 11 – Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 – Client Loyalty Programs.

The Group will adopt IFRS 15 in its financial statements for year ending March 31, 2019 and is evaluating if it will use the prospective or retrospective approach, as well as if some practical expedients will be applicable to its operations and if they will be used upon adoption.

The Group concluded an initial evaluation of possible impact of IFRS 15 adoption on its financial statements, as follows:

 

  (i) Sale of products

For oil and ethanol sales, income is currently recognized when the goods are delivered to the client’s location or picked-up by them in the Group’s distribution center, which is considered the time when the client accepts the goods and the risks and benefits related to ownership are transferred. Income is recognized at this time, provided that income and costs can be measured reliably, receipt of consideration is probable, and there is no continuous involvement of Management with the products.

According to IFRS 15, income must be recognized when the client obtains control of the products. Accordingly, relevant changes in measurement and recognition of income are not expected with the adoption of the mentioned new accounting rule.

  (ii) Sale of electricity

The income from the sale of the electric power is currently recorded based on the energy available in the network and the tariffs specified in the supply agreement, or the current market price, according to each case. The electric power produced and sold through auctions is initially recognized as prepaid income, and is only recognized in the statement of income for the year when it is available to be used by the clients.

In accordance with IFRS 15, relevant changes in measurement and recognition of income from sale of electric power are not expected, since, currently, revenues are already recognized when clients obtain control over electric power made available in electric network.

 

  (iii) Returns from clients

After the client formally confirms receipt of products, quality of products is measured and accepted, there are no negotiations that would allow the client to return these products. So, currently, there is no recognition of returns that may be made by clients in the future.

 

  (iv) Loyalty program

At the moment, the Group does not have a client loyalty program that could be part of IFRS 15 scope.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 introduces a single model for accounting of leases in the financial position for lessees. A lessee recognizes an asset of right of use which represents its right to use the leased asset and a lease liability which represents its obligation to make lease payments. Optional exemptions are available for short-term leases and low value items. The lessor’s accounting remains similar to the current standard, that is, lessors continue to classify leases as financial or operating.

IFRS 16 replaces the existing lease standards, including the IAS 17 Leases (IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27).

The standard will become effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2019 (in the case of the Group, as from April 1, 2019).

The Group started an initial evaluation of possible impacts on its financial statements. Up to now, the most significant impact identified is that the Group will recognize new assets and liabilities for its fuels distribution bases, lands, warehouse and vehicle operating leases. In addition, nature of expenses related to these leases will be changed, as IFRS 16 replaces linear operating lease expenses with a depreciation charge for the right of use and interest expense on lease liabilities. The Group has not decided if it will use optional exemptions.

There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations other than the aforementioned, that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

8. Biological assets

The Group’s biological assets correspond to the agricultural products under development (standing sugarcane) produced in sugarcane plantations, which will be used as raw material for the production of sugar, ethanol and bioenergy at the time of harvest. Fair value is evaluated using the discounted cash flow method. Valuation model considers present value of cash flows to be generated, including two-year projections, that is, for 2017/18 and 2018/19 crops depending on which crop sugarcane is expected to be harvested.

Planted areas refer only to sugarcane plantations, and do not consider planted land and the sugarcane roots. The following assumptions were used in the determination of the fair value:

 

     2017      2016      2015  

Estimated harvest area (hectares)

     415,095        427,768        412,738  

Productivity expected (tons of sugar-cane per hectare)

     77.06        80.04        75.3  

Amount of ATR (kg/ton)

     132.30        130.12        132.6  

Average ATR price per Kg projected (R$/Kg)

     0.70        0.63        0.52  

Cash flows were discounted at 6.08% (7.48% in 2016 and 7.73% in 2015) which is the WACC (Weighted Average Capital Cost) of the Group.

The Group periodically reviews assumptions used to calculate biological assets, adjusting it in case there are significant variations in relation to those previously projected. In the year ended March 31, 2017, the need to review the assumptions was identified, chiefly due to growing ATR (weighted average of all cash flows of R$ 0.63/kg on March 31, 2016 to R$ 0.70/kg on December 31, 2016, was maintained in the same level as of March 31, 2017), pursuant to sugar price and US dollar market expectations.

Changes in biological assets (sugar cane) are detailed below:

 

           2016     April 1, 2015  
     2017     (restated)     (restated)

Additions of cultural treatments (1)

     545,134       515,437       541,530  

Absorption of harvested sugar-cane costs

     (547,109 )      (515,289 )      (524,737 ) 

Change in fair value

     652,984       336,035       (29,203 )

(1) Those expenses include the amounts of R$ 14,925 (R$ 20,980 in 2016 and R$ 17,481 in 2015), arising from the depreciation of agricultural assets which make up the cost of biological assets.

Fair value estimate could increase (decrease) if:

 

•   Estimated ATR price were higher (lower);

 

•   Estimated productivity (tons per hectare and ATR quantity) were higher (lower); and,

 

•   Discount rate were lower (higher)

The Company’s sugarcane operations are exposed to variations from climate changes, pests and diseases, forest fires and other forces of nature.

Weather conditions may historically cause fluctuations in the sugar and alcohol industry and therefore in the Group operating income because they affect crops by means of increasing or reducing harvests. Moreover, Group’s businesses are subject to seasonal fluctuations determined by the sugar cane growth cycle in Brazil’s Center-Southern region.

Sugarcane usually starts to be harvested in Brazil’s Center-Southern region between April and May every year and harvesting ends in November and December. This causes fluctuations in inventories, which are usually higher in November and December to cover off season sales (from December to April) and in gross profit, which is likely to be lower in the last quarter of the fiscal year (from October to December).

(1) Receivables from legal disputes on which a final judgment favorable to RESA was obtained in February 2007, December 2013 and 2015, which are not part of the net assets contributed by Cosan to set up the Group. Therefore, RESA recognized a liability in the same amount, classified as current and non-current in the related parties account, given that RESA has the obligation to reimburse those receivables to Cosan when they are actually collected. These credits yield IPCA-E (Special Amplified Consumer Price Index) and Selic rate variation plus annual interest of 6%.

As of December 28, 2016, by an indenture for assignment of receivables, RESA sold to third parties the credits from indemnity suits of Açucareira Corona S.A., for the amount of R$ 233,570. The negotiated amount was received on January 6, 2017, and remitted on, on the same date, to the shareholder Cosan. Such transactions neither did nor will produce impact on RESA’s statement of income.

 

(2) Brazilian Treasury Certificates are government bonds issued by the Brazilian Treasury within the Special Agriculture Industry Securitization Program—PESA, with a 20-year original maturity (falling due between 2018 and 2025) and which pledged to secure its related financing transaction called PESA. These bonds bear annual compound interest of 12%, plus the IGP-M (General Market Price Index). Their value on maturity date will match the principal of the debt due under PESA and may be used for settlement.

(iii) Analysis of investment impairment losses

Following an impairment test for Logum pursuant to IAS 36 and IAS 28, on March 31, 2017, RESA recognized estimated impairment losses with Logum’s investment in income for the year, in the amount of R$162,384, being R$ 131,792 accounted for in Other operating expenses, net (Note 22), referring to direct interest of 21.3% in Logum, and R$ 30,592 accounted for as equity pick-up in investees, referring to RESA’s indirect interest of 4.9% in Logum by Uniduto.

Current infrastructure of Logum project is the backbone of the next business plan stages, which will increase volumes as system gains capillarity, connecting ethanol producers and consumers. However, for the impairment test on March 31, 2017, we considered that it would be appropriate to use only the current project stage estimated cash flows, net of financial debts, without considering future stages and synergies that may be generated in the future. To the extent that investments are made in new project stages, impairment tests will be made and may indicate reversal of the provision recognized.

Impairment analysis for cash generating units containing goodwill

The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis.

In RCSA, Management, to determine recoverable value, uses the value in use method, which is based on projection of expected discounted cash flows of cash generating units (“CGU”) determined by Management based on budgets that take into consideration assumptions related to CGU; business management of RCSA considers them as an integrated distribution chain comprising a single cash generating unit, using information available in the market and prior performances.

Discounted cash flows were prepared for a period of five years and taken to perpetuity without considering real growth. They were based on past performance and on expected market development. Cash flows deriving from continued use of related assets are adjusted to specific risks and use discount rates, calculated at 6.08% p.a. (7.48% in 2016 and 8.5% in 2015).

Main assumptions used were: prices based on market expectation, growth rates estimated for business line and extrapolations of growth rates based on Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

RESA, to determine recoverable value, uses the value in use method, which is based on projection of expected discounted cash flows of cash generating units determined by Management based on budgets that take into consideration assumptions related to each CGU using information available in the market and prior performances. Discounted cash flows were prepared for a period of 20 years without considering real growth, based on past performance and on expected market development. The discount rates used were 6.08% p.a. (7.48% in 2016 and 8.5% in 2015).

Main assumptions used for RESA were: expected sales price of commodities in the long-term, productivity of agricultural areas, performance of Total Recoverable Sugar (“ATR”), and operating and administrative costs. Every cash flow was discounted at rates that reflect specific risks related to relevant assets in each cash generating unit.

As a result of annual tests, no loss was recognized in the years ended March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. As aforementioned, determination of assets recoverability depends on the accomplishment of certain assumptions that are influenced by market, technological, and economic conditions prevailing at the time in which recoverability is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine if recoverability losses will occur in the future and, in case they occur, if they will be material.

(i) The balance payable to suppliers of materials and services mostly consists of acquisitions of machinery and equipment for sugarcane mills, distribution hubs and gas reseller stations, as well as hired services.
(ii) The balances payable to suppliers of derived from oil and ethanol consist of purchases made by RCSA.
(iii) Sugar cane harvesting, which usually takes place between April and December every year, has a direct impact on the balance of trade accounts payable to sugar cane suppliers and for cutting, loading and transportation services.
(iv) The Group has Agreements Related to Payments with financial institutions (“Agreements”) that permit certain suppliers to advance their receivables referring to products and services rendered to the Group, directly with financial institutions. In these Agreements, supplier may choose to grant or not and the financial institutions decide whether to acquire or not these credit, without interference from the Group. Using the Agreements does not imply any change in notes issued by the supplier, and the same original value and payment term conditions are maintained, which, as average, is around 60 to 90 days, period that is consistent with the Group’s recurring operating cycle.

(d.2) Realization of deferred tax assets:

When evaluating deferred taxes’ recovery capacity, Management considers future taxable income projections and changes in temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are only recognized when it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future. Tax losses and negative bases’ balances do not expire, but the use of these losses accumulated in prior years is limited to 30% of each taxable annual income.

On March 31, 2017, the Group expects to realize deferred tax assets as follows, including tax loss assets, negative basis and temporary differences:

17. Provision for legal disputes and judicial deposits

Breakdown of legal disputes considered as probable loss

When the Group was setup it was agreed that Cosan and Shell would reimburse the Group for legal disputes that had or could have the date-base of the disputes before the formation of the Group, therefore, the Group should reimburse Cosan and Shell regarding the judicial deposits made on the date before its formation.

Raízen Group

Management notes to combined consolidated interim financial information on March 31, 2017

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

 

(i) INSS

The amount recorded as provision for INSS corresponds social security contributions levied on billing, pursuant to the terms of Article 22-A of Law no. 8,212/91, whose constitutionality is being challenged in a lawsuit. RESA made judicial deposits related to lawsuit in the amount of R$ 275,177. Accordingly, both balances are presented net in these financial statements.

 

(ii) ICMS

Amount recorded as provision for ICMS is substantially represented by: (a) received tax assessments that, despite being defended in the administrative and legal spheres, are considered as probable loss by the Group’s legal advisors; and (b) using finance credits and charges in matters on which understanding of the Group’s management and tax advisors differ from tax authorities’ interpretations.

During the year ended March 31, 2017, as mentioned in Note 10.a.1, RCSA recorded legal disputes reimbursable by Shell that deals with the questioning of the breach of accessory obligation (CAT Ordinance) in the period from January 2001 to December 2004, related to the methodology for calculating ICMS credits in the state of São Paulo, in the updated amount of R$ 142,061, and the assessment arising from FOB fuel sales transactions by Shell to some customers in São Paulo which were later on declared improper, in the period from October 2003 to May 2004, in relation to which the ruling of the motion for clarification of judgment is currently being awaited, in the restated amount of R$ 65,626.

 

(iii) IPI

Amount recorded as a provision for IPI is represented by: (a) tax assessment received referring to imported products; and (b) offset of credits deriving from inputs used in exempt shipments.

 

(iv) PIS and COFINS

Amount recorded as a provision for PIS and COFINS credits is as follows: (a) contribution of period from 1997 to 1999 referring to merger of company; and (b) offset referring to IPI credits used to offset PIS and COFINS deriving from inputs used in exempt shipments.

 

(v) Lawyers’ fees

The Group contracts law firms to defend it in civil, tax and labor lawsuits. Some contracts provide for attorneys’ remuneration as a percentage on successful lawsuit value. The Group records a provision for amounts payable to law firms referring to lawsuits whose likelihood of loss is possible or remote. Amount currently recorded as a provision refers mainly to lawsuits whose financial responsibility is borne by Shell, as they were originated in a period prior to the Group’s establishment and, therefore, are reimbursable.

(vi) IRPJ and CSLL

These refer to decisions related to different offsets carried out by Perdcomp related to IPI credits used to offset IRPJ and CSLL. This offset stopped being homologated because a tax assessment notice was issued to stop recognition of credits based on the fact that, in the period from January 2008 to September 2010: (a) RCSA did not segregate and pay IPI owed at the rate of 8% on certain transactions classified in TIPI (table of IPI levy), and (b) RCSA did not reverse IPI credits referring to inputs used for industrialization of certain products classified in TIPI, considering that shipment of such products are not taxed. In first item, controversy occurs due to divergence about classification of products as oil by-products and, in the second item, it occurs because authorities do not recognize the right to maintain IPI credits on shipment transactions that are exempt or not taxed.

 

(vii) CIDE

RCSA recorded a provision for CIDE on services provided in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities carried out before the Group’s establishment, whose balance on March 31, 2017 and 2016, totals R$171,515. Owed amounts were deposited in escrow, at the same amount. RCSA will be fully reimbursed by Shell in case it actually is obliged to pay CIDE to tax authorities. Accordingly, both balances are presented net in these financial statements.

 

(b) Civil, labor and environmental

The Group is party to various civil actions consisting of (i) damages for material losses and pain and suffering; (ii) disputes on contracts; (iii) class action to stop the burning of sugar cane straw; (iv) enforcements of environmental decisions; (v) reparation of environmental damages causes by fuel leakages; and (vi) discussions about contracts, real estate and recovery of credits, including discussing regardless contract breaches and possession of the Group’s properties and recovery of amount not paid by clients.

The Group is also part to several labor claims of former employees and employees of service providers who demand, among other things, payment for overtime work, night shift premium and hazardous duty premium, readmission into the job, return of payroll discounts, such as trade union optional and mandatory contributions, among others.

The main environmental actions are related to environmental remediation to be carried out at gas stations, distribution hubs, airports and client distribution centers and they include the removal of contaminated material, treatment of the land, laboratory tests and post-remediation monitoring.

These legal disputes were considered as probable loss and, therefore, no provision for lawsuits demands has been recognized in the financial statements

The following legal disputes are considered as not more likely than not to create a present obligation and, therefore, as a possible obligation, no provision for legal disputes has been recognized in the combined consolidated financial statements.

In case a reimbursable provision for these claims has to be recognized in the future due to change in expectation, or to any other reason, the Group will immediately record an amount receivable from shareholders at the same amount and, therefore, the Group’s statement of income will not be impacted. In case this provision is not reimbursable, the Group will record it as a legal dispute provision in the statement of income for the period in which the likelihood of occurs changes.

Raízen Group’s significant possible losses may be summarized as follow:

 

(i) ICMS

Refers substantially to: (i) part related to fine of tax assessment issued due to alleged lack of ICMS payment and non-compliance with accessory obligation, in agricultural partnership for on-demand industrialization in periods from May 2005 to March 2006 and from May 2006 to March 2007; (ii) ICMS levied on crystal sugar for export that, as understood by tax agent, is classified as semi-finished product and, in accordance with ICMS regulation, would be subject to taxation; (iii) ICMS levied on alleged divergences on sugar and ethanol inventories deriving from comparison between magnetic tax files and inventory registration books; (iv) tax assessment related to charge of ICMS rate difference deriving from ethanol sales to companies located in other states of the Federation, which had their state registrations canceled; (v) requirement of ICMS deriving from disallowances of diesel credits used in agricultural-industrial production process; (vi) lack of reversal of ICMS credits; (vii) lack of full reversal of ICMS-ST credits; (viii) non-compliance with certain accessory obligations; (ix) ICMS-ST requirement in inter-state sales to industrial clients; (x) allegation of the supposed existence of the difference in the sugar and ethanol inventory of RESA. Once the fact of the inexistence of the supposed differences was proved, the defenses were presented based on the effective legislation, and we are waiting for the judgment; and (xi) disallowance of the ICMS credit –diesel fuel, the defense was presented because it is essential to the activities of RESA based on article 155, paragraph 2, I of Federal Constitution and Complementary Law no. 87/96.

(ii) INSS

Possible legal disputes related to INSS involve mainly: (i) questioning about legality and constitutionality of MPS/SRP Regulatory Instruction no. 3 of 2005, which restricted constitutional immunity of social security contributions on revenues from export exclusively to direct sales and started to tax exports carried out through trading companies; (ii) requirement of contribution to SENAR in direct and indirect export transactions for which Federal Revenue Service (“RFB”) understands that constitutional immunity does not apply; and, (iii) mandatory payment of social security contribution on resale of merchandise in domestic market and to third parties that are not included in calculation basis of social contribution levied only on gross revenue from establishment production and not from acquired merchandise.

 

(iii) IPI

SRF Regulatory Instruction no. 67/98 supported procedure adopted by industrial establishments that made shipments without recording and paying IPI related to transactions with cane sugars: demerara, high-quality crystal, special crystal, extra special crystal, and granulated refined sugar carried out in the period from July 6, 1995 to November 16, 1997, and with refined amorphous sugar in the period from January 14, 1992 to November 16, 1997. This standard was carried into effect in the respective proceedings brought by RFB, whose likelihood of loss is classified as not more likely yes than no, according to the assessment of the Group’s legal advisors.

 

(iv) IRPJ and CSLL

Refers, substantially, to tax assessment notices, issued by the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil charging IRPJ and CSLL for prior financial years, relating to: (i) deductibility of amortization expenses of determined goodwill; (ii) offset of tax losses and CSLL negative calculation basis; (iii) taxation on differences in revaluations of property, plant and equipment assets; (iv) recoverable tax assessment notices linked to Shell’s Exploration and Production business, added in March 2016, referring to withholding taxes on remittances abroad and undue taxation on goodwill amortization; (v) the non-cumulative PIS / COFINS credits from goods and services purchased in the domestic merchant and offset with IRRF and CSLL / IRPJ; (vi) tax assessment notices based on the PIS system semester and Federal Tax Offsets (IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS and IRRF) not approved by the RFB. The Group has challenged such charges in the appropriate spheres; and (vii) tax assessment notices related to the glosses of goodwill amortization deductions for calendar years 2011 to 2012 (corporate fact that generated the right to use goodwill occurred in 2006). The Group filed a challenge requesting the full cancellation of the tax assessment notice drawn up, extinguishing all of the tax credits required.

(v) PIS and COFINS

In the year ended March 31, 2017 substantially refers to: (i) PIS and CONFINS credits, in the non-cumulative system in 2012 and 2013, provided for in the Laws No. 10,637/2002 and 10,833/2003, respectively. These rejections arise, in summary, due to the restrictive interpretation of the Secretariat of the Federal Revenue Service in regard to the concept of “inputs” as well as differences regarding the interpretation of the referred to laws. Such questions are still at the administrative level, in the amount of R$ 269,823 (R$ 482 in 2016); (ii) related to unconstitutionality of expansion of PIS and COFINS calculation basis brought by Law no. 9,718/98,

in the amount of R$ 608,619 (R$ 564,042 in 2016). It is important to emphasize that the Supreme Federal Court has already settled this matter, deciding that this taxation is unconstitutional; (iii) PIS and COFINS difference determined as a result of deduction of CIDE settled through offset, in the amount of R$ 66,072 (R$ 35,175 in 2016). For inspectors, this deduction could only be made in case CIDE had been paid; and (iv) to requests of reimbursement of PIS and COFINS linked to offset processes. After presentation of Terms of Disagreement in March 2013, DRJ (Judgment Office) determined write-off of processes in progress, so that PIS and COFINS credit rights referring to certain quarters of years 2008 and 2009 are recalculated. Such questions are still at the administrative spheres.

 

(vi) Offsets with IPI credit – IN 67/98

SRF Regulatory Instruction Number 67/98 brought the possibility of a refund of IPI collected in the period from January 14, 1992, to November 16, 1997, on amorphous refined sugar. Accordingly, RESA, for the periods in which payment was made, it pleaded to offset amounts against other taxes due. However, the Federal Revenue Service dismissed requests for restitution as well as an offset. Therefore, RESA administratively appealed against the dismissal.

After notification of payment of debts object to an offset in view of the changes introduced by IN SRF Number 210/02, RESA filed a writ of mandamus with an injunction request to suspend the enforceability of offset taxes, with the aim of impeding the Public Administration from executing these debts. The injunction was granted by the competent court, and the likelihood of loss is considered as possible by the Management.

 

(vii) MP 470 – Debt in Installments

Federal Revenue Service partially rejected requests for payment of federal tax debts in installments made by RESA, with the argument that offered tax loss is not sufficient to settle respective debts. Likelihood of loss is considered possible, as indicated losses existed and were available for such use.

Sales

The Group, represented by RCSA and RESA, control entities operating in the sugar, ethanol, electric energy cogeneration business as well as fuel distribution. Sales contracts are managed on a consolidated basis, associated with the business and are not tied to a specific entity.

Redeemable preferred shares—RESA

Tax benefits resulting from NOL and GW recognized before the Raízen formation (Note 10.a.3), should be refund to the respective shareholders as RESA use them as a reduction in balances of the taxes payable.

For the realization of these refunds, Class B preferred shares were issued for Cosan and Classes C and D for Shell with the purpose of compensating them through the payment of dividends in the amount of the tax benefit used by RESA.

At the Ordinary General Meeting (“OGM”) held on July 28, 2014, the shareholders of RESA discussed and approved the payment of R$ 42,381, or rather, less than was declared on March 31, 2014, of R$ 1,255, related to preferred shares, which were settled on July 29, 2014.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, RESA entered the program for the settlement of debt installments with the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil, through the use of an NOL, therefore, resulting in a write-off of Class B preferred shares, of R$ 157,010.

In addition, at the end of the financial year ended March 31, 2015, RESA proposed the allocation of dividends to holders of Class B preferred shares of R$ 15,221, corresponding to the partial use of the tax benefit balance for the same financial year ending on that date.

During the year ended March 31, 2017, RESA allocated to dividends the entire outstanding amount of R$ 3,531 of preferred shares Class C, belonging to shareholder Shell, to be paid during the year to be ended March 31, 2018.

At the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on July 28, 2014, the shareholders of RCSA discussed and approved the payment of R$ 240,409, or rather, greater than that declared on March 31, 2014, of R$ 52,548, related to the preferred shares, of which was settled on July 29, 2014. These dividends of R$ 164,779 and R$ 75,630 were credited to the shareholders of Shell and Cosan, respectively.

In addition, at the end of the year ended March 31, 2015, RCSA proposed allocation of dividends to holders of Class B and Class C preferred shares of R$ 15,127 and R$ 58,495, Cosan and Shell, respectively, corresponding to partial use of the tax benefit balance for the same financial year ending on that date, totaling R$ 73,622.

During year ended March 31, 2016, RCSA recognized Shell’s supplementary NOL and GW balances in the amount of R$ 78,124, calculated in 2010 and 2011.

At the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 30, 2015, the shareholders of RCSA approved the creation of Class E preference shares, as well as the conversion of 174,038,252 Class C preference shares, owned by Shell, into Class E preference shares. This new class of share aims to repay the shareholder Shell by using RCSA tax credits originating for the highest payment of IRPJ and CSLL, between the months of January 2010 and May 2011, totaling R$ 258,250 (Notes 10.a.3 and 16.b).

On March 31, 2016, RCSA recorded the reimbursement to Shell, in current liabilities, for the use of NOL and GW, relative to the calendar year of 2015 of R$ 138,070 (Note 10.3), by reducing capital reserve. This transaction did not generate changes in equity.

As mentioned in Note 10.a.3, RCSA shareholders approved the redemption of 80,309,237 Class C preferred shares, for the amount of R$ 111,793, representing a reversal of R$ 26,277, in relation to the provision made in the closing of the annual financial statements as at March 31, 2016. The redemption of these shares was made using part of the capital reserve balance, not reducing the share capital of RCSA.

As of March 31, 2017, the balance of preferred shares payable to shareholders, recorded in shareholders’ equity, was fully written-off. On March 31, 2016, the balance of these shares totaled R$ 10,732.

 

b) Capital reserves

Capital reserve

Mostly consists of goodwill resulting from the difference between the subscription price paid for the shares and their nominal values. That reserve may only be used to increase capital, absorb losses, redeem, reimburse or purchase shares or to pay cumulative dividends to preferred shares.

During the period ended on March 31, 2015, Cosan settled debts in installments with Receita Federal do Brasil using NOL. Therefore, the capital reserve was reduced by R$ 164,377, comprising: (i) R$ 157,010 arising from the NOL owned by Cosan with the obligation of preferred payable shares; and, (ii) R$ 7,367 corresponding to the NOL of the subsidiary of RESA, Benálcool Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., whose tax credits are not made up the balance of Class B preferred shares created on the formation of the Group.

During year ended March 31, 2017, RESA allocated the remaining balance of redeemable preferred shares to holders of Class C shares, in the amount of R$ 3,531.

Goodwill special reserve

Share premium results from downstream mergers in the Group that became deductible for income and social contribution tax purposes. Therefore, the Group recognized goodwill special reserve in shareholders’ equity as an effect of downstream mergers and as an offsetting entry to deferred tax assets that is equivalent to the 34% tax benefit resulting from the tax amortization of this goodwill.

Merger of Curupay

During the year ended March 31, 2015, due to the reverse merger of Curupay by TEAS, whose main assets corresponded to the investments held by the share capital of Curupay and goodwill based on tax records, the goodwill became to be deductible for tax purposes on income and social contribution taxes on net income. Therefore, RESA recorded a goodwill special reserve, in equity, reflecting the effect of the reverse merger of Curupay by its subsidiary TEAS in return for their investment (Note 27) of R$ 2,004.

 

c) Dividends and interest on own capital (“JCP”)

Group’s dividends are not distributed by the calculations of the combined consolidated financial statements, but individually by RESA and RCSA.

By-laws of RESA and RCSA assure shareholders a minimum mandatory dividend of 1% of net income at the end of fiscal year, adjusted pursuant to LSA.

e) Income reserves

 

i) Legal reserve

The legal reserve consists of the allocation of 5% of the profit reported in the year, according to the by-laws of RESA and RCSA, parent company and in compliance with LSA.

On March 31, 2017 and 2016, as established by the LSA, RCSA did not allocate 5% of net income to the caption of its legal reserve, since the legal reserves and capital, together, exceeded 30% of the capital.

 

ii) Profit retention reserve

It refers to the remaining balance of the Group’s profit, after the appropriations made to set up the legal reserve and to accrue dividends. Under RESA’s and RCSA’s by-laws, up to 80% of the year’s profit may be allocated to that reserve, to fund operations and to new investments and projects, which may not exceed the percentage of 80% of capital.

 

iii) Tax incentive reserve

The tax incentive reserve consists of incentives recognized in RESA’s indirect subsidiary, Raízen Caarapó, arising from Agreement 331/2008 entered into between Raízen Caarapó and the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, whereby a tax benefit on the processing of sugar in that state is granted in an amount equivalent to 67% of the ICMS debt balance.

For the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the value of tax incentives that had an impact on RESA income was R$ 14,985 and R$ 9,328, respectively, recorded under the “Cost of products sold and services rendered” (Note 21).

On March 31, 2017, RESA recorded the recurring effect of the tax incentives through the subsidiary Raízen Centroeste amounting to R$ 50,331 (R$ 121,216 in 2016), arising from the state incentive program in the State of Goiás, in the form of financing part of the ICMS payment, named “Industrial Development Program of Goiás—Produzir”, with the subsequent discharge of the amount financed.

For the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the value of incentives that had an impact on the consolidated result was R$ 52,773 and R$ 31,318, respectively, recorded under the Other operating income, net (Note 22).

The entire amount referring to these benefits was allocated to Tax Benefit Reserve.

 

f) Interest of non-controlling shareholders

24. Financial instruments

 

(a) Overview

The Group presents exposure to the following risks deriving from its operations, which are equalized and managed with the use of certain financial instruments:

 

•   Price risk

 

•   Exchange rate risk

 

•   Interest rate risk

 

•   Credit risk

 

•   Liquidity risk

 

(b) Risk management framework

The Group has specific treasury and trading policies that set risk management guidelines.

The Group has two main committees to monitor activities and ensure policy compliance: (i) a risk committee whose members gather weekly to analyze the behavior of commodity and foreign exchange markets and decide on coverage positions and the strategy to fix the prices of imports and exports to reduce the negative effects of changes in prices and foreign exchange rate; and, (ii) an ethanol committee whose members gather monthly to assess the risks posed by the sale of ethanol and to comply with the limits set on risk policies.

(c) Price risk

Price risks result from the possibility of fluctuations in the market prices of the products sold by the Group, mainly raw sugar (sugar #11), refined sugar (sugar #5 or white sugar), heating oil and ethanol. These price fluctuations may cause substantial alterations in the revenues and costs. To mitigate these risks, the Group permanently monitors markets, seeking to anticipate price changes. The table below shows the positions as of March 31, 2017 of derivative instruments to cover the risk of fluctuations in commodity prices:

(d) Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risks arise from the possibility of fluctuations in the exchange rates used by Group for export revenues, imports, financing cash flows and other foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Group uses derivative transactions to manage cash flow risks resulting from export revenues denominated in US dollars, net of other cash flows also denominated in foreign currency. The table below shows the positions for derivatives used to cover outstanding foreign exchange rate risks as of March 31, 2017 and 2016:

(e) Hedge accounting effect

The Group formally designates its transactions subject to hedge accounting aiming at hedging cash flows. Hedges are assigned to sugar and ethanol incomes, the cost of import of derivatives and foreign currency debt, documenting: (i) the hedging relationship, (ii) the Group’s risk management purpose and strategy when entering into the hedging instrument, (iii) the identification of the financial instrument, (iv) the covered object or transaction, (v) the nature of the risk to be covered, (vi) the description of the hedging relationship, (vii) the relation between the hedging instrument and the covered item, and (viii) the retrospective and prospective testing of the effectiveness of the hedging instrument.

The impacts recognized in the Group’s equity and the estimated realization in profit or loss are shown below.

(1) During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Group started to operate in market of commodities options “Sugar#11”. The currently adopted strategy is zero cost collar, considering that such operations are designated as hedge accounting, accounting for the effect of the change in the intrinsic value of the option as cash flow hedge, deferring its effects in shareholders’ equity. Variation of options’ extrinsic value is directly recognized in the Statement of Income under Net operating revenue.

(g) Credit risk

A substantial part of the Group’s sales is made to a select group of highly qualified counterparties, such as trading companies, fuel distribution companies and major supermarket chains.

The Group manages credit risk by following specific client acceptance standards, analyzing client credit standing and setting exposure limits per client, requiring, when applicable, letters of credit of top tier banks and taking security interest in assets as security for payment of the credit facilities granted to clients. Management considers that the credit risk is substantially covered by the estimated loss in allowance for doubtful accounts.

Individual risk limits are determined according to internal and external classifications and the limits set by Group’s Management. The use of credit limits is regularly monitored. No credit limit was exceeded during the period, and Management does not expect any loss from default by these counterparties in amounts higher than those already provided for.

The Group enters into commodity derivative agreements in futures markets and options at the New York Board of Trade—NYBOT, Chicago—CBOT and at the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange—LIFFE, as well as in over-the-counter markets with selected counterparties. The Group enters into foreign exchange rate and commodity derivative agreements at B3 and over-the-counter agreements registered with B3, mainly with the leading local and foreign banks considered by global credit risk rating agencies to have investment level ratings.

Guarantee margins – Derivative transactions in commodity exchanges (NYBOT, LIFFE, and B3) require guarantee margins. The total combined consolidated margin deposited as of March 31, 2017 is R$ 262,144 (R$ 812,303 in 2016), of which R$ 77,582 (R$ 136,116 in 2016) in restricted financial investments and R$ 184,562 (R$ 676,187 in 2016) in derivative transaction margins. (Note 5)

The Group’s over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions do not require a guarantee margin.

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is mitigated by the conservative distribution of investment funds and CDBs, which make up the caption. The distribution follows strict criteria for allocation and exposure to counterparties that are major national and international banks, mainly considered investment grade by international rating agencies.

 

(h) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of the Group may encounter difficulties in performing the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with payments or with another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

As part of the liquidity management process, management prepares business plans and monitors their implementation, discussing positive and negative cash flow risks and assessing the availability of funds to support its operations, investments and refinancing needs.

(i) Fair value

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the value by which the instrument may be exchanged in a current transaction between parties that are willing to negotiate, and not in a forced sale or settlement. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value are described below.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other financial assets, accounts payable, related parties and other short-term obligations approximate to their carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value of other long-term assets and liabilities does not significantly differ from their book values.

The fair value of liability financial instruments of the Group approximates book value, since they are subject to variable interest rates and there was no significant change in Group’s credit risk. The fair value measurement (for disclosures purposes only) of the tradable Senior Notes 2027 is based on market quotations on the date of financial statements. As of March 31, 2017, such market value is 101.73% of face value.

In addition, as mentioned in note 15, on January 26, 2017, Senior Notes 2017 were fully settled. As of March 31, 2016, their market value was 103.50% (107.25% in 2015) of face value.

Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with observable market data and refer, mainly, to swaps of interest rates, foreign exchange forward contracts, and forward commodity contracts. The valuation techniques applied often include pricing models and swaps contracts, with present value calculations. The models incorporate various data, including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot, and forward rates, interest rate curves, and forward rate curves of the hedge object.

Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair values of financial instruments according to the valuation technique used:

 

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

 

•   Level 2: other techniques for which all data that have a significant effect on fair value are observable, whether directly or indirectly; and,

 

•   Level 3: techniques that use data that have a significant effect on fair value that are not based on observable market data.

(j) Sensitivity analysis

We present below the sensitivity analysis of the fair value of financial instruments according to the types of risk considered relevant by the Group.

Assumptions for the sensitivity analysis

The Group has adopted three scenarios for the sensitivity analysis, one probable and two (possible and remote) that may show the effects in the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments. The probable scenario was set according to the futures market curves of sugar, heating oil, ethanol and the US dollar as of March 31, 2017, and the amounts presented correspond to the fair value of derivatives on those dates. Possible and remote adverse scenarios were set considering impacts of 25% and 50% on sugar and US dollar price curves, which were calculated as a basis for the probable scenario.

On June 1, 2016, the downstream merger of Tarumã by Paraguaçú was approved. As a result of this merger, and considering that Tarumã held 99.9999% of the capital of Paraguaçú, there was a capital increase in that company through the issue of 247,433,845 new shares of R$ 247,434, net of the following amounts: (a) R$ 301,729 regarding the investment that Tarumã had in Paraguaçú; and (b) R$ 43,049 corresponding to the tax incentive reserve recognized in the subsidiary Caarapó. Therefore, the shares in the capital of Paraguaçu now belong to RESA and its subsidiary Raízen Araraquara Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., in the proportion to their respective holdings.
