The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Cosan Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016. We also have audited Cosan Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Cosan Limited’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Also in our opinion, Cosan Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Cosan Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1 Operations

Cosan Limited (“Cosan”) was incorporated in Bermuda on April 30, 2007. Cosan’s class A common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (ticker - CZZ). The BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) representing Cosan’s class A common shares are listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa) (ticker - CZLT33). Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello is the ultimate controlling shareholder of Cosan. Cosan controls its subsidiaries Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Cosan S.A.”) and Cosan Logística S.A. (“Cosan Logística”) through a 62.29% and 72.42% interest, respectively. Cosan, Cosan S.A., Cosan Logística and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

The Company’s primary activities are in the following business segments: (i) Piped natural gas distribution to part of the State of São Paulo through its subsidiary Companhia de Gás de São Paulo – COMGÁS (“COMGÁS”); (ii) Logistics services including transportation, port loading and storage of sugar, leasing or lending of locomotives, wagons and other railway equipment, through its indirect subsidiaries Rumo S.A. (“Rumo”), logistic segment (“Logistic”); (iii) Production and distribution of lubricants, through its indirect subsidiaries Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A. (“Moove”) and Comma Oil & Chemicals Ltd. (“Comma”), under the Mobil licensed trademark in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay, in addition to the European and Asian market using the Comma brand and corporate activities (“Lubricants”); and (iv) other investments, in addition to the corporate structures of the Company (“Cosan’s other business”).

The Company also holds interests in two joint ventures (“JVs”): (i) Raízen Combustíveis S.A. (“Raízen Combustíveis”), a fuel distribution business, and (ii) Raízen Energia S.A. (“Raízen Energia”), which operates in the production and marketing of sugar, ethanol and energy cogeneration, produced from sugar cane bagasse.

On September 30, 2016 the Company disclosed a material fact stating that it has signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Mansilla Participações Ltda. (Vehicle TIAA - Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America), also a shareholder of the company Radar and Radar II. In the material fact, the Company sold part of its shares of Radar e Radar II for the amount of R$ 1,053,768 received on November 04, 2016. see note 16.

On December 31, 2016, Cosan Logística had a negative consolidated working capital of R$1,087,486 and loss for the period of R$733,329. Nevertheless, it presented a net cash generation from operations of R$1,449,637 and made investments in the modernization of its fleet and improving the railway network in the amount of R$1,699,226, in line with its business plan.

The subsidiary Cosan SA and Shell International Petroleum Company Limited (“Shell”) finalized the discussions regarding the cancellation and replacement of options to buy and sell shares issued by Raízen Energia SA and Raízen Combustíveis SA, whose exercise was dated to 2021 and 2026, and concluded an addendum to the relevant contracts in force.

The changes agreed between Cosan S.A and Shell aim to strengthen the partnership in Raízen in the long term. The Parties also agreed to renew the “lock-up” period for a further 5 years, as of the date hereof. At the end of this period, the Parties may sell shares issued by Raízen, taking into account the rules regarding the exercise of the applicable preemptive right.

2 Basis of preparation

 

2.1 Statement of compliance

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

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

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2017.

 

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

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

 

2.3 Use of judgments and estimates

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

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

 

    Notes 18 and 19 – Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The Company performs annually a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets with defined useful lives and property, plant and equipment. Also, an impairment test is undertaken for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the different cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated are explained in Note 19.

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

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

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

The Company does not recognize a margin on the infrastructure construction, since such margin is mainly linked to the services contracted from third-parties at amounts which reflect the fair value.

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

The amortization of intangible assets reflects the pattern expected for the utilization of the future economic benefits by the Company, which corresponds to the useful lives of the assets comprising the infrastructure consonant to the São Paulo State Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency (“ARSESP”) provisions, as disclosed in Note 19.

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

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

 

    Note 21 – Operating lease commitments

The Company has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial property and the present value of the minimum lease payments not amounting to substantially all of the fair value of the commercial property, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

 

    Note 26 – Income taxes and social contribution

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

 

    Other non-current asset

The Company is active part in lawsuits filed against the Federal Government, claiming appropriate compensation arising from the differences in sugar and ethanol prices. A compensation action is recognized when it appeared certain that will be an inflow of economic benefits.

    Note 35 – Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

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

 

    Note 36 – Post-employment benefit

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

 

    Note 37 - Share-based payment

The Company measures employees’ share based compensation cost by reference to the fair value of the shares at the grant date. The estimation of fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the plan. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the assumption of the expected life of the stock option, volatility and dividend yield. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 37.

 

    Note 27 - Provisions for legal proceedings

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

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

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

 

    Note 15 - Investment in joint ventures

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

The two partners have direct rights to the assets of the partnership and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred by the partnership. This entity is therefore classified as a joint ventures and the Company recognizes its interest in the joint ventures using the equity method as described in Note 15.

Measurement of fair values

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

2.4 Basis of measurement

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

 

    derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

 

    derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss;

 

    loans measured at fair value through profit or loss;

 

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

 

    contingent consideration assumed in a business combination;

 

    employee’s defined benefit obligations are presented at the present value of the actuarial obligation net of the fair value of plan assets (Note 36).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

 

  (a) Business combinations

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

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

 

  (b) Non-controlling interests

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

 

    at fair value; or

 

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

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

 

  (c) Subsidiaries

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

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

 

  (d) Investments in associates (equity method investees)

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

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

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

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

 

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

The Company has interests in joint ventures, in which contractual arrangement establishes joint control over the voting and economic activities of the entity. The contractual arrangements require unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions among the ventures. The Company recognizes its interest in the joint ventures using the equity method (Note 15).

 

  (f) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

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

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

 

3.2 Foreign currency

 

  a) Foreign currency transactions

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

 

  b) Foreign operations

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

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

 

  c) Translation of subsidiaries and associates’ financial statements

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

 

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

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

 

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

 

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

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

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

The exchange rate of the Brazilian Real (R$) to the U.S. Dollar (US$) was R$ 3.2591 at December 31, 2016, R$ 3.9048 at December 31, 2015, and R$ 2.6562 at December 31, 2014.

 

3.3 Financial instruments

 

  (i) Non-derivative financial assets

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

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

 

    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

Financial assets classified as held-for-trading comprise short-term sovereign debt securities actively managed by the Company’s treasury department to address short-term liquidity needs.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss comprise equity securities that otherwise would have been classified as available-for-sale.

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

 

 

    Loans and receivables

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

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

 

    Restricted cash

Restricted cash comprises investments that are linked to the Company’s loan and escrow for security agreement.

 

    Cash and cash equivalents

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

 

    Available-for-sale financial assets

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

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

Available-for-sale financial assets comprise equity securities and debt securities.

Derecognition

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

  (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

  (iii) Share capital

Ordinary shares

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

Preference shares

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

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

 

  (iv) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

    Cash flow hedges

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

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

 

    Fair value hedge

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

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

 

    Embedded derivatives

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

 

    Other derivative financial instruments

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

3.4 Inventory

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

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

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

 

3.5 Property, plant and equipment

 

  (a) Recognition and measurement

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

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

 

  (a) the cost of materials and direct labor;

 

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

 

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

 

  (d) capitalized borrowing costs.

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

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

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

 

  (i) Reclassification to investment property

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

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

 

 

  (ii) Subsequent costs

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

 

  (iii) Depreciation

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

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

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

 

  

Buildings and improvements

   4% to 5%   
  

Machinery, equipment and facilities

   8% to 11%   
  

Airplanes, vessels and vehicles

   10% to 20%   
  

Railcars

   2.9% to 6%   
  

Locomotives

   3.33% to 8%   
  

Permanent railways

   4%   
  

Furniture and fixtures

   10% to 25%   
  

Computer equipment

   19% to 20%   

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

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

 

3.6 Intangible assets and goodwill

 

  (a) Goodwill

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

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

 

 

  (b) Other intangible assets

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

 

  (c) Subsequent expenditure

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

 

  (d) Amortization

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

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

 

  (e) Contracts with customers

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

 

  (f) Intangible assets related to the concession rights agreement

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

3.7 Impairment

 

  (i) Non-derivative financial assets

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

 

  (a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

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

 

  (b) Available-for-sale financial assets

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

 

31

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

 

  (ii) Non-financial assets

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

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

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

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

 

3.8 Provisions

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

 

3.9 Employee benefits

 

    Short-term employee benefits

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

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

 

 

 

    Share-based payment transactions

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

 

    Defined contribution plans

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

 

    Defined benefit plans

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Other long-term employee benefit

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

 

3.10 Revenue

 

  (a) Sales of goods

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

 

  (b) Services rendered

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

The Company revenue recognizes revenue as follows:

 

    Billed revenue

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

 

    Unbilled revenue

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

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

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

 

 

 

    Concession construction revenue

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

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

 

  (c) Deferred revenue

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

 

3.11 Government grants

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

 

3.12 Leases

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

 

  a) Leased assets

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

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

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

 

35


Table of Contents

Cosan Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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

 

 

 

  b) Lease payments

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

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

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

 

3.13 Finance income and finance expense

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

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

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

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

 

3.14 Taxes

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

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

 

 

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

 

  a) Current tax

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

 

  b) Deferred tax

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

 

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

 

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

 

    taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

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

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

  c) Sales taxes

Net revenue is recognized net of discounts and sales taxes.

 

  d) Tax exposures

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

 

3.15 Cash flow – non-cash transaction

4 New standards and interpretations not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7)

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Company intends to present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities.

Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (Amendments to IAS 12)

The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.

The Company is assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements resulting from the amendments. So far, the Company does not expect any significant impact.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmers.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only for financial statements in accordance with IFRSs.

The Company is still assessing the potential impact of adopting IFRS 15 in its financial statements.

 

  (i) Sales of good: The Company recognizes revenues only when it is probable that the entity will receive the consideration to which it will have right in exchange for the goods that will be transferred to the customer. Thus, we have not yet identified material adjustments in revenue recognition for this type of sale. However, certain contracts with customers have commitments that the Company will recognize as an asset since it expects to recover these costs.

 

  (ii) Service rendered: In some contracts of the subsidiary Comgás we may have an impact on the revenue recognition, because currently that subsidiary uses the percentage completion method in accordance with IAS 11 and based on IFRS 15 these revenue could it be recorded only at the end of the service rendered. In addition, especially in Cosan Logística, separate performance obligations will have to be identified in connection with the provision of transport services.

The Company will adopt IFRS 15 in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and intends to use the retrospective approach. As a result, the Company will apply all the requirements of IFRS 15 for each comparative period presented adjusting the previously presented financial statements.

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

The Company is currently conducting a detailed impact assessment resulting from the application of IFRS 15 and expects to disclose additional quantitative information prior to the adoption of the standard.

 

IFRS 9 - Financial instruments

IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes new models for classification and measurement of financial instruments and the measurement of expected credit losses for financial and contractual assets, as well as new requirements on hedge accounting. The new standard retains the existing guidance on the recognition and derecognition of financial instruments in IAS 39.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted only for financial statements in accordance with IFRSs.

The effective impact of adopting IFRS 9 in the Company’s financial statements in 2018 can not be estimated with confidence, as it will depend on the financial instruments held by the Company and the economic conditions in 2018, as well as on accounting decisions and judgments that the Company will make in future. The new standard will require the Company to review its accounting procedures and internal controls related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments and these changes are not yet finalized.

IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, specifically on hedge accounting, credit risk and expected credit losses. The Company’s preliminary assessment included an analysis to identify deficiencies in relation to required information and current processes and the Company plans to implement changes in its systems and controls to meet the new requirements.

Changes in the accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, except for the changes described below:

 

  Ø The Company intends to take advantage of the exemption that allows it not to restate comparative information from prior periods arising from changes in the classification and measurement of financial instruments (including expected credit losses). The differences in the accounting balances of financial assets and liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be recognized in retained earnings and reserves as of January 1, 2018;

 

  Ø New hedge accounting requirements should be applied prospectively. However, the Company may choose to apply the expected change in the accounting for changes in the fair value of the forward term of the exchange contracts retroactively. The Company has not taken any decision regarding this option;

The following assessments should be made based on the facts and circumstances existing on the date of the initial adoption:

 

  Ø The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held;

 

  Ø The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value;

 

  Ø The designation of certain equity instruments not held for renewal at fair value in other comprehensive income.

IFRS 16 Leases

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

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

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

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

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

- Retrospective approach; or

- Modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients.

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

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

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

 

5 New standards adopted and correction of immaterial error

The new standards and amendments below apply for the first time in 2016. The new standards and amendments, as well as, the correction of error, do not have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial statements or the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company, however such financial information has been restated to reflect the new standards, amendments and correction of immaterial error as described below:

 

  (i) Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 - Agriculture: Bearer Plants

The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture . Instead, IAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under IAS 16 using the cost model. The amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of IAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer plants, IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance will apply. These amendments substantially impact the joint venture, Raízen Energia, in the lines of the Investments in Joint Ventures in the Financial Position and Equity in Earnings of Joint Ventures in the Statements of Profit or Loss. There is no impact to the Companies that does not have bearer plants.

 

  (ii) Discontinued operation

According to the note 16, due to the partial sale of RADAR segment’s shares and as required by IFRS 5 - Non-current assets available for sale and discontinued operations - the Company is restating the presentation of its income statements and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

  (iii) Correction of immaterial error – Tax installments

During the year of 2016, the Company identified an immaterial error in the accounting record of tax installment liabilities, related to others federal taxes than income tax, referring to prior years.

Management concluded that the effect of the correction of error had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, however the income statements, statements of cash flows and financial position of December 31, 2015 and 2014 has been restated considering the correction of the immaterial error.

The nature and the impact of each new standard, amendment and correction of immaterial error for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, are presented below:

6 Business combinations

On April 1, 2015, after the necessary approvals from the competent bodies, the subsidiary “RUMO” incorporated 100% of the common shares of ALL and, through a shareholders’ agreement, now holds its full control and consolidates its results.

The merger took place by exchange of shares, with the issue by Rumo, of 1,963,670,770 registered common shares with no par value, representing 65.67% of its equity in exchange for 100% of the share capital of ALL , represented by 681,995,165 common shares.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company consolidates its participation strategy in the logistics segment and infrastructure in Brazil, incorporating approximately 12,000 km of rail present in ALL Awards.

 

  a) Consideration transferred

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued was based on the listed share price of the ALL (ticker – ALL3.SA) as at March 31, 2015 of R$ 3.97 per share. Additionally, the value was adjusted by the settlement of pre-existing relationship, as follows:

  (i) Settlement of pre-existing relationship

In March 2009, Rumo and ALL entered into an operating agreement (pre-existing relationship) for the supply of sugar transport logistics and other grains from the western of the state of São Paulo to the Port of Santos, in which Rumo has port concessions for lifting services.

According to the terms of the existing agreement, Rumo invested in the construction and improvement of permanent roads under concession of ALL and acquisition of rolling stock for use in the transport of products in the rail network, in order to increase rail freight transport capacity in ALL. In exchange for the Company’s investments, the agreement stipulated that ALL should provide a certain capacity of rail transport services, as well as compensate Rumo through the payment of a fee, fixed contractually, per ton of product transported by ALL on the rail network and / or by the use of undercarriage given by Rumo to ALL.

This pre-existing relationship was settled when Rumo acquired ALL. As a result of this settlement, Rumo recorded a gain of R$ 29,838 in the profit or loss as “other operating income”.

The fair value of the settlement of pre-existing relationship has been the difference between the value of the investment made by Rumo and the discounted cash flow of the remuneration of such investment, considering the volume and contractually agreed rate.

7 Operating segments

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

Reported segments

 

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

 

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

 

  (iii) COMGÁS: distribution of piped natural gas to part of the State of São Paulo (approximately 180 municipalities, including the region called Greater São Paulo) to customers in the industrial, residential, commercial, automotive, thermo generation and cogeneration sectors;

15 Investments in joint ventures

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

 

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

 

  (ii) Raízen Energia, which produces and sell sugar, ethanol and renders electric energy cogeneration services, the latter mainly from sugar cane bagasse. Raízen Energia is responsible for the production of, approximately, 2 billion liters of ethanol per year to supply the domestic and foreign market, 4,2 million tons of sugar and 940 MW of installed capacity of electricity. Raízen Energia cultivates harvests and processes sugar cane - the main raw material used in the production of sugar and ethanol.

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

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

The Company tests the recoverable amounts of goodwill (intangible assets with defined useful life) arising from business combination transactions annually. Property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets, that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For a better presentation, we segregate the analysis by CGU as follows:

 

    Cosan Logística

During the year ended December 31, 2016, identified external indicators of impairment, such as increasing the basic interest rate, combined with the generation of results and EBITDA below that projected, leading to an impairment test, despite the fact that the Company did not suffer Change in the use of assets, have not presented obsolescence or physical damage to their assets, or have shown a decline in asset performance. The Company’s cash-generating units coincide with its segments (i) North Operations, (ii) South Operations, and (iii) Container Operations.

The recoverable amount was determined using the discounted cash flow determined by management based on estimates that take into account the assumptions related to each business, using available market information, budget assumptions and past performance. Company understands it is reasonable the utilization of periods longer than 5 years in the preparation of the discounted cash flows in order to reflect the estimated utilization of the assets during the concession period. In that context, discounted cash flows were prepared considering the extension of the concessions periods, contractually foreseen. The Management has already begun negotiations with the granting authority for the extension of the concession contracts, and considered it highly probable that these concessions will be renewed upon the promulgation of Provisional Measure 752. If this premise is modified in the future due to a higher risk Non-renewal, the carrying amount of CGU Sul Operations may exceed its recoverable value in the coming years.

The main assumptions used were (i) expectations of the Brazilian market of production of sugar, soybean meal and corn, destined mainly to the export volume, (ii) expectations related to rail freight rates, (iii) the ability to availability transport and port, and (iv) macro-economic conditions.

All these future cash flows were discounted at rates between 11-15% (weighted average cost of capital), that reflect specific risks related to the relevant assets in its cash-generating unit. An increase of 3.8 percentage points in the discount rate should change for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount. The dollar has no significant impact on the projections and therefore the fluctuation of the exchange would have no significant effect on the estimated segments.

The result of the impairment tests is presented below:

 

     Book

North Operation

     15,300,645        26,159,997

Container Operations

     413,185        n/a (b

 

  (a) Includes property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

 

  (b) The Container Operation did not present impairment indicators.

On December 31, 2016 no expense for impairment of assets and goodwill was recognized. The determination of the recoverability of the assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above that are influenced by the market, technological, and economic conditions in force at the time that such recovery is tested and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether new reduction losses Recovery will occur in the future and, if they occur, whether these would be material.

 

    Cosan Energia

The Company tests annually the recoverable amounts of goodwill (intangible assets with indefinite useful lives) arising from business combination transactions. Property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Recoverable amount is determined by reference to the value in use, using the discounted cash flows model based on managements estimated budget information which takes into consideration assumptions related to each business, using market available information as well as previous performance. Discounted cash flows are estimated for a period of 5 to 10 years and perpetuity. Management considers appropriate to estimate cash flows for a period longer than 5 years as this reflects the estimated period for use of the asset groups and businesses involved.

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

Future cash flows are discounted using discount rates 13% (weighted average cost of capital) and a terminal value growth rate of 4.5% from 2026 that reflect specific risks relating to the significant assets in each cash-generating unit.

An increase of 5.5 percentage points in the discount rate should change for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount. The dollar has impact on the projections and therefore the fluctuation of the exchange would have effect on the estimated.

The impairment test performed as of December 31, 2016 did not result in the need to recognize impairment losses on the carrying value of intangible assets or goodwill. The determination of the recoverability of assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above which are influenced by current market, technological and economic conditions. These tests are not indicative of future impairment losses and/or whether they would be material.

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

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

23 Commitments

 

(a) Commitments for the acquisition of assets and regulatory targets

With the postponement of the Five-Year Tariff Review 2014 as a result of the publications of Resolutions ARSESP 493 and 494, both of May 27, 2014, which approved the “Tariff Review Process of Gas distribution companies in the State of São Paulo, defining event schedule “, and the” provisional adjustment of marketing margins of São Paulo Gas Company - COMGÁS “, there is no set regulatory commitment in December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

(b) Gas transportation

COMGÁS has take-or-pay purchase contracts, effective through December 2019, with gas suppliers which establish minimum daily purchases of gas volumes. Were the Company to consume a volume of gas below its contractual obligation, the Company would be required to pay for the shortfall between consumption and the required minimum contractual volumes; however, it could recover this credit (through consumption) over the remaining contract period. Amounts paid but not consumed by COMGÁS were recognized as “Other non-current assets” in the statement of financial position (2016 R$ 244,006; 2015 R$ 204,725).

 

(c) Regulatory assets (liabilities)

On December 31, 2016, the subsidiary COMGÁS has a current regulatory balance payable in the amount of R$ 414,011 (R$ 116,947 on December 31, 2015 as receivable) related to differences between the actual cost of the gas incurred, paid by the COMGÁS, and the cost of gas included in the tariff and charged to customers according to the tariff structure defined by ARSESP. During the year, the net current account flow was R$ 530,958 and the update by the Selic rate was R$ 30,763.

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

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

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

  (i) Exchange variation effect due to conversion of invested balance abroad.

 

  d) Recoverability of deferred income tax and social contribution

In assessing the recoverability of deferred taxes, management considers the projections of future taxable income and the movements of temporary differences. When it is not probable that part or all of the taxes will be realized, the tax asset is reversed. There is no dead line for the use of tax loss carryforwards and negative bases, but the use of these accumulated losses of previous years is limited to 30% of annual taxable profits.

(i) During the period from October 2003 to November 2006, the Company, through its subsidiary CLE, offset the FINSOCIAL tax against several other federal taxes, based on a final court decision in September 2003 following a decision that challenged the constitutionality of the FINSOCIAL. No judicial deposits were made.
(ii) A considerable portion of the amount accrued as ICMS was paid in cash under the provisions of Decree Nº 58,811 issued on December 27, 2012, which established the State of São Paulo Special Installment Program of ICMS (a.k.a. PEP-ICMS). The amounts that have been provisioned refer to tax assessments by the tax authorities related to several types of ICMS credits. Amongst them: (a) assessment notice related to ICMS payments for the purchase of raw materials which are considered for “use and consumption”, therefore, not eligible for compensation; (b) assessment, as sole obligor, for withholding of ICMS on tolling agreement from an agricultural partnership with Central Paulista Ltda. Açúcar e Álcool.
(iii) Mainly related to social security contributions, which are being challenged on the grounds of constitutionality. Judicial deposits have been made for the corresponding amounts.

  (i) In summary, these demands relate basically:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    disallowance of ICMS tax credits on the sale of diesel fuel to customers engaged in the agro industrial business. The State Tax Administration understands that because the diesel fuel sold is for agricultural use, which is not Company’s core business.

 

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

    The State Tax Administration assessed the rail concessions for non-taxation of VAT (ICMS) on invoices for the provision of rail freight services for export. All assessments were contested, since there is a favorable position for taxpayers in the higher courts, based on the Federal Constitution and Complementary Law 87/1996; and

 

    assessment from State Tax Administration of São Paulo on the grounds that the Company was not authorized to operate as a general warehouse in that state. The Company appealed at the administrative level. The Company is duly registered with the commercial registry with the corporate purpose of general warehouse, as well as being registered in the Federal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. At the time of the release of the state registration, the tax authorities allowed the Company’s activities, including issuance of invoices.

 

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

 

  (iii) In December 2011, the Company received an assessment notice claiming unpaid income and social contribution taxes for the period from 2006 to 2009. Such claim is based on the following: (a) tax benefits that arose from the deduction of goodwill amortization, (b) the offsetting of tax carry forwards and (c) taxes on revaluation differences of the property, plant and equipment. The Company filed its defense in January 2012 and has classified any potential loss as possible, consistent with the opinion of its legal advisors. The Company quantified such possible loss.

In June 2013, the Company received an assessment notice claiming unpaid income and social contribution taxes for the period from 2009 to 2011, corresponding to the deduction of goodwill amortization. The Company challenged this assessment and has classified any potential loss as possible, consistent with the position of its legal advisors. The Company has quantified the possible loss and a remote loss in relation to the payment of fines.

The main values added in the year is related to (i) administrative proceeding arising from tax assessment notices issued for the collection of Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and Social Contribution on Net Income (“CSLL”), for the base years of 2011 , 2012 and 2013, cumulated with interest of late and qualified and isolated fines, (ii) tax assessment notice on amortization of goodwill expense, the possible amount of which is R$ 618,992. The indictment is questioned at administrative level, (iii) The Company has a tax assessment notice related to the deduction of goodwill amortization deductions from 2011 to 2012, a possible amount of R$ 93,164, (iv) The Company has a tax assessment notice relating to exchange variation and interest incurred as the tax authorities understand that the corporate transactions carried out were intended to postpone the settlement of debt contracted abroad through the issuance of Perpetual Bonds, in order to reduce Positive result of exchange variation, the possible amount of which is R$ 76,369. The three notices of infraction are being questioned at the administrative level, (v) The subsidiary Cosan Lubrificantes has an assessment notice drawn up for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL for the 2011 and 2012 calculation period, for the exclusion of Net Income for the period, referring to the amortization of goodwill on the acquisition of investments valued by shareholders’ equity, the amount of which Possible is R$ 178,363. This goodwill is the responsibility of the subsidiary Cosan Lubrificantes and was contributed to Raízen Combustíveis, and the assessment was a reflection of the assessment related to the period from 2009 to 2011.

 

  (iv) Refers mainly to the reversal of PIS and COFINS credits, provided by Laws 10.637/2002 and 10.833/2003, respectively. Those reversals arise from a differing interpretation of the laws by the tax authorities in relation to raw materials. These discussions are still at the administrative level. There are also questions regarding the constitutionality of broadening the base of the PIS / COFINS conveyed by Law 9.718/98. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue, judging the broadening of the case unconstitutional.

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

 

  (v) In June 2013, the Company received an assessment notice issued for the payment of income tax withheld at source (“IRRF”). The withholding tax relates to an alleged capital gain arising from the acquisition of assets of companies located abroad. The Company presented its defense in July 2013 and, together with its legal advisors, rated the probability of loss as possible.

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

  (vi) The legal proceeding related to INSS payment with possible unfavorable outcome involve the following: (a) the legality and constitutionality questioning Normative Instruction MPS/SRP Nº 03/2005, which restricted the constitutional immunity over social contributions on export revenues through direct sales, consistent with the manner exports made via trading companies are now taxed; (b) assessment of SENAR (Rural apprenticeship scheme) social contribution on direct and indirect exports, in which the tax authorities disregard the right to constitutional immunity; (c) assessment of social security contribution on internal market resale of merchandises or to third parties, which are not included in the calculation of the social security contributions tax basis - these should only apply to gross revenue from production and not to acquired merchandise.

 

  (vii) Federal exercise VAT: SRF Normative Instruction no 67/98 approved the procedures adopted by industrial establishments which performed remittances without registration and payment of IPI, in relation to transfers of sugarcane carried out between July 6, 1995 and November 16, 1997 and of refined sugar between January 14, 1992 and November 16, 1997.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  (xi) The tax authorities rejected partially the installment requests for federal tax debts made by Malha Sul and Intermodal, arguing that the NOLs offered by the companies were not sufficient to discharge their existing debts. The probability of loss is considered possible, since the NOLs existed and were available for such use.

30 Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share has been made by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company and held as treasury shares (Note 29).

The calculation of diluted earnings per share has been made by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent, adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares at subsidiaries by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company and held as treasury shares (Note 29). The Company?s subsidiaries have two categories of potential dilutive effects: share options and put options. For the share options, a calculation is done to determine the effect of the dilution in the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent due the exercise of the share options at subsidiaries. For the put option, is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent is adjusted.

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

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

The stock option plan is out of money, so, the exercise price of the options granted is much higher than the average stock price during the period. These financial instruments have antidilutive effects in the periods presented.

Risk management structure

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liquidity risk

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

Market risk

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

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

 

  a) Foreign exchange risk

Sensitivity analysis on changes in foreign exchange rates:

The probable scenario was defined based on the U.S. Dollar market rates as at December 31, 2016, which determines the fair values of the derivatives at that date. Stressed scenarios (positive and negative effects, before tax effects) were defined based on changes of a 25% and 50% to the U.S. Dollar exchange rates used in the probable scenario.

Based on the financial instruments denominated in U.S. Dollars at December 31, 2016, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis by increasing and decreasing the exchange rate for R$/US$ by 25% and 50%. The probable scenario considers the estimated exchange rates at the due date of the transactions for the companies with functional currency Real (positive and negative, before tax effects), as follows:

Financial instruments fair value

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

 

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

 

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

 

    The market value of the Senior Notes Due 2018, 2023 and 2027 are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Note 20) is based on their quoted market price as of December 31, 2016, of 95.68% (78.71% on December 31, 2015) and 96.05% (83.83% at December 31, 2015), and 100,65%, respectively, of the face nominal value at December 31, 2016.

    The fair value of Perpetual Notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Note 20) is based on their quoted market price as December 31, 2016 of 103.03% (79.64% at December 31, 2015) of the face value of obligations at December 31, 2016.

 

    The fair value of other loans and financing, the respective market values substantially approximate the amounts recorded due to the fact that these financial instruments are subject to variable interest rates (Note 20).

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

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

The carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:

37 Share-based payment

The Company grants to its executives the stock option plan, which is optional and the executives can use a portion of their profit-sharing amounts. The vesting period is time-based service rendered by the executives for the Company.

The plan includes shares issued by the Company up to the limit of 5% of the total stock, and its purpose is to: (i) attract, retain and motivate the beneficiaries, (ii) add value for shareholders, and (iii) encourage the view of entrepreneur of the business.

The plan is managed by the Board of Directors, within the limits established by the general guidelines of the plan and applicable legislation.

The exercise price of the options is determined by the Board of Directors and is equivalent to the average amount of the closing price of the share at the last thirty trading sessions of the BM&FBOVESPA, prior to the grant date, updated monthly by the variation of the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) between the grant date and the month prior to the option exercise notice by the beneficiary.

The vesting period and share options outstanding at the end of the year are as follows:

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

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

Expected dividends – The dividends expected were calculated on the basis of the current market value on the grant’s date, adjusted by the average rate of return of capital to shareholders during the forecast period, and compared with to the book value shares. Expected dividends used in the Black-Scholes for the year was 3.8%.

Risk free interest rate – the company considered the prime rate as the risk free interest rate traded at BM&FBovespa on the grant date and for the equivalent term of the option maturity.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

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

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

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment management has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by KPMG Auditores Independentes, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
