REPORT OF QUARTERLY INFORMATION REVIEW

 

 

 

To the Shareholders, Board Members and Directors of

TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A.

São Paulo - SP

 

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim accounting information of TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A. and subsidiaries, contained in the ITR (Quarterly Information Form), referring to the quarter ended on September 30, 2013, which comprises the balance sheet and related statements of income and of comprehensive income for the three and nine-month period then ended, and of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including the notes thereto.

 

The management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim accounting information according to CPC Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim Statement and interim consolidated accounting information according to CPC 21 and international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information according to standards issued by CVM (SEC), applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and international standards of review of interim information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of inquiries, mainly to those responsible for financial and accounting matters, and the application of analytical procedures and other review procedures.

 

The scope of a review is significantly less in scope than an audit and, consequently, it did not allow us to obtain assurance that we became aware of all significant matters which could be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we did not express an audit opinion.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion on individual interim information

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which makes us believe that the individual interim accounting information included in the aforesaid quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with the Brazilian SEC (CVM) regulations.

Conclusion on consolidated interim information

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which makes us believe that the consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforesaid quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with Brazilian SEC (CVM) regulations.

 

 

Emphasis

 

Restatement of corresponding amounts

 

As mentioned in note 2, as a consequence of changes in the accounting policy introduced by the adoption of IFRS 11, the corresponding amounts, individual and consolidated, related to the balance sheet of the year ended December 31, 2012, and the interim accounting information related to the statement of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders’ equity, of cash flow and of value added (supplementary information), referring to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, presented for comparison purposes, were adjusted and are being restated according to CPC 23 – Políticas Contábeis, Mudança de Estimativa e Retificação de Erro (Accounting Policies, Change in Estimate and Ratification of Error) and CPC 26(R1) - Apresentação das Demonstrações Contábeis (Presentation of Financial Statements). Our conclusion did not change regarding this matter.

 

 

Other matters

 

Interim statement of value added

 

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statement of value added (SVA), referring to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the presentation of which in the interim information is required according to standards issued by CVM, regulations applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information – ITR and considered as supplementary information by IFRS’s standards, which do not require the presentation of the SVA. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, we have no knowledge of any fact which could make us believe that they were not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with individual and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

c. Corporate Restructuring

 

In order to simplify the Company’s current organizational structure, the rationalization of services provided by its subsidiaries and concentration of service  provision on two operating entities, namely the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TData, on March 15, 2012, the Company filed with ANATEL a request for previous approval of corporate restructuring, which became legally feasible due to legislation changes applicable to Fixed Switched Telephone Service Concession Arrangement (STFC) operators through Law No. 12485.

This corporate restructuring was approved by ANATEL under the Act No. 3043, of May 27, 2013, published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU) of May 29, 2013, with the conditions thereunder.

The Board of Directors’ meeting of June 11, 2013 approved the terms and conditions of the corporate restructuring involving the wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries of the Company.

The corporate restructuring was accomplished through spin-offs and mergers of subsidiaries and companies directly or indirectly controlled by the Company, so that the economic activities other than telecommunications services, including the provision of Value Added Services as defined in article 61 of the General Law of Telecommunications - LGT (such activities, jointly and generally, referred to as SVAs), provided by the various wholly owned subsidiaries/subsidiaries were concentrated in TData and telecommunication services were unified in the Company.

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

The partial or total spin-offs, as the case may be, and the incorporation of net assets of the companies involved all occurred on the same date and had the same base date (April 30, 2013), as follows: the Company merged (i) the spun-off net assets of TData acquisition, arising from its partial spin-off, corresponding to the activities related to the provision of service of Multimedia Communication Service (SCM); (ii) the spun-off net assets of Vivo, arising from their total spin off, corresponding to the use of SMP, SCM and STFC in local, domestic and international long distance calls in regions I and II of the General Service Concession Plan (PGO); (iii) the spun-off net assets of ATelecom, arising from their total spin off, corresponding to the activities related to the provision of conditional access services (SEAC) (through the DTH technology) and SCM; and (iv) TST, which concentrated the activities related to the provision of SEAC and SCM before its merger with the Company.

The corporate structure before the corporate restructuring is summarized as follows:

 


 

Below, we briefly describe the steps of spin offs and mergers of companies involved in the Company’s corporate restructuring process.

 

·      Merger of Lemontree, GTR-T, Ajato, CaTV and Sul Paraná by TST: Immediately before the merger of TST by the Company, however on the same date, TST merged its subsidiary Ajato and entities Lemontree and GTR-T, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and respective subsidiaries, Sul Paraná and CaTV. These entities were evaluated under the provisions of article 227 of Law No. 6404/76, based on respective book values as at April 30, 2013, ad referendum of TST general meeting. Merger thereof resulted in a capital increase by R$102,512 in TST, under the terms of the Merger Protocol of these entities and of TST. After merged into TST, Lemontree, GTR-T, Ajato, CaTV and Sul Paraná ceased to exist. Except for the Company and TST, aforementioned companies did not have any shareholders; therefore, the merger of these companies did not result in any refund to or protection of noncontrolling shareholders of the companies involved.

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

 

·      Merger of TST by the Company: TST was evaluated under the provisions of article 227 of Law No. 6404/76, based on the corresponding book values at April 30, 2013. Considering the merger of Lemontree, GTR-T, Ajato, CaTV and Sul Paraná by TST immediately before the merger of TST by the Company, the total amount of net assets of TST (corresponding to the sum of net assets of TST and net assets of the companies merged into it) incorporated by the Company totaled R$226,106.

 

·      Merger of spun-off net assets of TData: TData was spun-off in order to segregate the net asset related to the SCM portion from its equity. The portion of the net assets of TData merged by the Company was evaluated under the terms of article 227 of Law No. 6404/76, based on respective book values at April 30, 2013, ad referendum of the Company’s general meeting. TData net assets spun-off totaled R$34,724.

 

·      Merger of the portion of spun-off net assets of Vivo: Vivo was fully spun off, in order to segregate the exploration activities of SMP, SCM and STFC in local, domestic and international long distance calls in regions I and II of PGO, whose net asset were merged by the Company. The SVAs and other services not considered telecommunication services were merged by TData and Vivo ceased to exist. The portion of the net assets of Vivo merged into the Company was evaluated under the terms of article 227 of Law No. 6404/76, based on respective book values at April 30, 2013, ad referendum of the Company’s general meeting. Referred to portion of net assets totaled R$10,228,352.

 

 

·      Merger of the portion of spun-off net assets of ATelecom: ATelecom was fully spun off in order to segregate corresponding net assets related to the SVAs provided by ATelecom, which were merged by TData. The net assets of ATelecom’s remaining activities were merged into the Company and ATelecom ceased to exist. The portion of the net assets of ATelecom transferred to the Company was evaluated under the terms of article 227 of Law No. 6404/76, based on respective book values at April 30, 2013, ad referendum of the Company’s general meeting. Referred to portion of net assets totaled R$348,624.

 

The merger of companies and net assets previously described did not result in capital increase or issue of new Company shares; accordingly, the corporate restructuring did not result in any changes in the current interest held by Company shareholders.

 

There is no question of substituting shares of noncontrolling shareholders of the spun-off companies with shares of the merging company, since the Company was, upon the merger of net assets and/or companies, as the case may be, the sole shareholder of the companies to be spun off/ merged. Accordingly, an equity valuation report at market price was not prepared for calculating the substitution ratio of shares held by noncontrolling shareholders provided for by article 264 of Law No. 6404/76 and item VI, paragraph 1, article 2 of CVM Ruling No. 319/99, as recent understanding of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) already demonstrated in the consultations drawn up in similar restructuring processes as CVM Rule No. 559, of November 18, 2008.

Telefônica Brasil S. A.

NOTES TO QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2013

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

The Company is an STFC operator to render land-line services in the local network and national long distance calls originated in sector 31 of region 3, which comprises the state of São Paulo (except for cities comprising sector 33), established in the General Service Concession Plan (PGO/2008).

 

The Company’s current STFC service concession arrangement was executed on June 30, 2011, is effective from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2025, and was granted for valuable consideration. This arrangement provides for the possibility of amendments on December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2020. This condition allows ANATEL to set up new requirements and goals for universal and quality of telecommunication services, considering the conditions in place at the time.

 

The service concession arrangement establishes that all assets owned by the Company and that are indispensable to the provision of the services described in referred to arrangement are considered reversible assets and deemed to be part of the service concession assets. These assets will be automatically returned to ANATEL upon termination of the service concession arrangement, according to the regulation in force. At September 30, 2013, estimated residual value of reversible assets was R$7,392,817 (R$6,911,508 at December 31, 2012), which comprised switching and transmission equipment and public use terminals, external network equipment, energy equipment and system and operation support equipment.

 

In accordance with the service concession arrangement, every two years, during the arrangement’s 20-year term, the Company shall pay a fee which will correspond to 2% (two percent) of its prior-year STFC revenue, net of taxes and social contributions.

 

 

d.2) Authorizations and frequencies related to mobile telephone services

 

Frequency authorizations granted by ANATEL for mobile telephone services may be renewed only once, over a 15-year period, through payment of fees equivalent to 2% (two percent) of the Company’s prior-year revenue, net of taxes and social contributions, related to the application of the Basic and Alternative Plans of Service.

 

In August 2013, the Company and ANATEL executed the authorization terms for the nonexclusive use of radiofrequency blocks, on a primary basis, as a result of the realignment of the “L” band in sub-bands from 1,975 MHz to 1,980 MHz for the mobile station transmission and from 2,165 MHz to 2,170 MHz for nodal station transmission.

 

These authorizations were issued for the remaining terms established under item 1.9 of Public Notice No. 002/2007/SPV-Anatel, of October 23, 2007, for valuable consideration, associated to the authorization for the rendering of SMP, amendment No. 01 to authorization No. 078/2012/PVCP/SPV-Anatel of August 14, 2013, published in the  Federal Official Gazette of August 16, 2013, effective until April 29, 2023, and may be extended only once, over a 15-year period. Effectiveness of these authorizations is subject to the compliance with the requirements provided for in the agreements.

 

The Company paid R$450,974 for referred to authorizations, which were recorded under intangible assets (Note 12) and will be amortized over the remaining periods of the licenses.

As from January 2014, subject to approvals provided by regulatory agencies and antitrust authorities in significant markets (including Brazil and Argentina), Telefónica S.A. will be able to choose whether to (i) fully or partly convert the shares with no voting rights into common class C shares with voting rights, and (ii) purchase the remaining shares with voting rights of TELCO S.p.A. held by other shareholders. As such, Telefónica S.A. will be able to hold 100% interest in TELCO S.p.A. and become the controlling shareholder of Telecom Italia, holding 22.4% interest with voting rights.

2.    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Company interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 are presented in thousands of reais (unless otherwise stated) and were prepared under a going concern assumption.

 

These interim financial statements compare the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, except for the balance sheets, which compare Company financial position as of September 30, 2013 to the financial position as of December 31, 2012.

 

Authorization to issue these interim financial statements was provided by Company management in a meeting held on October 28, 2013, which was approved by the Board of Directors in a meeting held on November 6, 2013.

 

The individual and consolidated interim financial statements were prepared and are presented in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the Brazilian Financial Accounting Standards Board (CPC) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), respectively.

 

For the individual interim financial statements, CPC practices differ from IFRS solely with respect to measurement of investments in the subsidiary under the equity method, while such investments would be measured at cost or fair value for IFRS purposes.

 

The Company and its subsidiary have no seasonal operations.

 

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles, practices and criteria consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2012, in addition to the new pronouncements, interpretations and amendments, as follows:

IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements – Presentation of items in Other Comprehensive Income: IAS 1 Revisions changed the grouping of items recorded in Other comprehensive income. Items potentially reclassifiable (or “recycled”) to profit or loss subsequently (for instance, net gains from hedge transactions of net investments, exchange rate variation differences due to translation of foreign transactions, net changes in cash flow hedge or gains from sale of assets classified as held for sale) should be disclosed separately from items which will never be reclassified (for instance, actuarial gains or losses in defined benefit plans). These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 and only affect presentation. There are no impacts on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

IAS 19 Employee benefits (Revision): The IASB issued revisions to IAS 19, which include from basic changes, such as exclusion of the corridor approach and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications on appreciation, depreciation and reformulation. This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2013 and has no significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011): As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to investments in associates. This amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The application of this amendment has no significant impacts on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

IFRS 1 – Accounting for Government Grants (Revised IFRS 1): These revisions establish first-time application of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure requirements prospectively to government loans existing as of the transition date to IFRS.  Entities may opt to retroactively apply IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as the case may be) and IAS 20 requirements to government loans, had the information required for that purpose been obtained upon initial recognition of these loans. This exception would release companies adopting the standard for the first time from the obligation to retroactively measure government loans at an interest rate lower than market rate. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January  1, 2013. These revisions have no impacts on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary upon first-time application.

 

IFRS 7 - Disclosures - Offsetting a Financial Asset and a Financial Liability – IFRS 7 revisions require entities to disclose information on enforceable rights to offset and related agreements (guarantee agreements, among others). Disclosures provide users with useful information so as to assess the effect of offsetting agreements on an entity´s financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments which are offset in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments – Presentation. The new disclosures are also required for recognized financial instruments which are subject to a principal offset agreement or a similar agreement, whether or not they are offset in accordance with IAS 32. This revision came into effect for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Referred to amendments only affect presentation and will have no impacts on the financial situation or performance of the Company and its subsidiary.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements: IFRS 10 replaces part of IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, which deals with the accounting of consolidated financial statements. Amended IAS 27 addresses the matters raised in Interpretation SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a sole control model, applicable to all entities, including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require that Management make use of significant judgment so as to determine which entities are subsidiaries and, therefore, mandatorily consolidated by a parent company, comparatively to the requisites of IAS 27. This standard became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company analyzed IFRS 10 and did not identify any significant impacts on the quarterly financial information.

  

IFRS 12 Disclosure of interest in other entities: IFRS 12 includes all requirements previously included in IAS 27 relating to consolidated financial statements, as well as all the disclosure requirements previously included in IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and IAS 28 Investments in Associates. These requirements are related to the interest held by an entity in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. This standard became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, only affects presentation and will have no significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement: IFRS 13 provides a sole guideline in IFRS for all fair value measurements.  IFRS 13 does not change the requirement regarding when an entity should mandatorily use fair value, but rather it provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS, when fair value is required or allowed. This standard became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and has no significant impact on the Company upon first-time application.

 

IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements: This change aligns the disclosure requirements for total assets of the segment with total liabilities of the interim financial statement segment. This explanation also ensures the alignment of interim disclosures with annual disclosures. These improvements are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and have no significant impact on the Company upon first-time application.

 

New IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) with significant impact on the financial position presented in these interim financial statements:

 

IFRS 11 superseded IAS 31, Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities (JCE) - Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 ruled out the possibility to account for jointly controlled entities (JCE) based on proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs which fall into the joint venture definition shall be accounted for under the equity method. This standard will have no impact on Company financial position, and eliminated the proportional consolidation of Aliança, AIX and ACT. With application of this standard, the investments of the Entity in aforementioned entities are recorded based on the equity method. This standard became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and shall be retrospectively applied to joint arrangements held at the date of first-time application.

New IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) not yet effective as of September 30, 2013:

 

IAS 32 Offsetting a Financial Asset and a Financial Liability – IAS 32 Revisions These revisions explain the meaning of the term “currently has a legally enforceable right to offset”. Also, these revisions clarify the adoption of IAS 32 offsetting criteria for settlement systems (such as settlement systems through clearing houses) that apply mechanisms for gross settlement that are not simultaneous. These revisions are expected to have no impacts on the financial position or performance of the Company and its subsidiary upon first-time application and became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

 

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement: IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the work carried out by the IASB referring to replacement of IAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, as defined in IAS 39. This standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning as from January 1, 2013; however, the Amendments to IFRS9 – Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, changed the mandatory effective date to January 1, 2015. In subsequent stages, the IASB will focus on the accounting procedures for hedge  instruments and impairment of financial assets. Adoption of the first IFRS 9 phase will have effects on the classification and measurement of the financial assets of the Company and its subsidiary, but will have no impacts on the classification and measurement of the financial liabilities. The Company will quantify said effect in conjunction with the other phases, upon issue of the final standard, which will comprise all phases.

The Company filed an injunction in order to represent its right not to pay surtax of 0.5% and 10% for FGTS introduced by Supplementary Law No. 110/2001 levied on deposits made by employers (the proceedings did not result in any reduction of FGTS deposits made by the Company on behalf of its employees).

At September 30, 2013, judicial deposits amounted to R$352,679 (R$330,331 at December 31, 2012) and to R$365,506 (R$341,403 at December 31, 2012), Company and consolidated, respectively.

 

·         Provisional Contribution Tax on Financial Transactions (CPMF)

 

Given the merger of PTelecom Brasil S.A. into Vivo Part. (later merged into the Company) the judicial deposit balance related to the injunction filed by PTelecom Brasil S.A. was absorbed, so as to reject the requirement for CPMF on pro forma and simultaneous foreign exchange agreements, as required by the Central Bank of Brazil to translate foreign loans into investment.

NOTES TO QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2013

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

As the interest rates applied to two of the five sub-credit lines of this financing are lower than those prevailing in the market (TJLP and TJLP + 1.48%), this operation qualifies for the scope of IAS 20/CPC 7. Accordingly, using the effective interest method defined by IAS 39/CPC 38, the following comparative was considered: (i) total debt calculated based on rates defined in contract, and (ii) total debt calculated based on rates used in the market (fair value). The government grant by BNDES, adjusted to present value and deferred in accordance with the useful life of the financed asset item, resulted in a balance amounting to R$16,720 as of September 30, 2013 (R$18,322 as of December 31, 2012).

 

Through September 30, 2013, the amount of R$2,059,916 (R$1,802,113 through December 31, 2012) had been released.

  

·      In January 2010, a R$319,927 financing facility to Vivo (which was merged into the Company on July 1, 2013) was approved by BNDES through its Investment Maintenance Program (BNDES PSI). Funds borrowed are used to improve the network capacity through acquisition of domestic equipment previously registered with BNDES (subject to Finame), and released as investments made are evidenced. Through December 31, 2012, the amount of R$184,489 was released and the remaining R$135,438 balance was canceled.

 

As the interest rates applied to two of the five sub-credit lines of this financing are lower than those prevailing in the market (TJLP and TJLP + 1.48%), this operation qualifies for the scope of IAS 20/CPC 7. Accordingly, using the effective interest method defined by IAS 39/CPC 38, the following comparative was considered: (i) total debt calculated based on rates defined in contract, and (ii) total debt calculated based on rates used in the market (fair value). The government grant by BNDES, adjusted to present value and deferred in accordance with the useful life of the financed asset item, resulted in balance amounting to R$20,028 through September 30, 2013 (R$23,876 as of December 31, 2012).

The Company also figures as a defendant in labor claims filed by retired former employees regarding the Medical Care Plan for Retired Employees (PAMA), which require, among other issues, the annulment of the change occurred in such plan. The claims await the decision by the Regional Labor Court of São Paulo.  Based on the opinion of its legal advisors and the current jurisdictional benefits, management considers this claim a possible risk.  No amount has been assigned for these claims, since in the case of loss, estimating the corresponding amount payable by the Company is not practicable at this time.

 

Additionally, the Company is party to civil class actions filed by the Department of Labor, in respect of the decision to restrain the Company to continue hiring outsourced companies to carry out the Company’s main activities.  No amounts were assigned to the possible likelihood of an unfavorable outcome related to these civil class actions in the table above, since in these procedural phases, in the event of loss, the monetary loss for the Company cannot be estimated.

At September 30, 2013, total provisions amounted to R$86,932 (R$78,711 at December 31, 2012).

 

Regulatory

 

At September 30, 2013, the Company and its subsidiary figured as party to administrative proceedings against ANATEL, which were filed based on alleged noncompliance with obligations set forth in industry regulations, as well as in legal claims discussing sanctions by ANATEL at the administrative level. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome for these proceedings was rated as probable. Therefore, at September 30, 2013, total provisions amounted to R$358,020 (R$265,038  at December 31, 2012) for the Company and R$358,020 (R$307,674 at December 31, 2012) for the consolidated.

 

Civil contingencies

 

·      Plano Comunitário de Telefonia (PCT): Refers to a Public Interest Suit to which the Company is a party and which is related to the PCT, a plan that allows purchasers of telephone line expansion plans who did not receive shares for their financial investment to claim indemnity rights, in the city of Mogi das Cruzes. The total amount is approximately R$268,957 (R$236,236 as of December 31, 2012). The likelihood of loss in this proceeding was deemed as possible by legal counsel. The São Paulo State Court of Justice (TJSP) has reversed the decision and deemed that claim groundless. The carriers association of Mogi das Cruzes (plaintiff) filed a special appeal to reverse that decision, which is currently waiting for a decision.

 

·      Class actions filed by SISTEL Members Association in the State of São Paulo (ASTEL), whereby SISTEL members in São Paulo State challenge changes made in the health care plan for retired employees (PAMA), and claim that former conditions are restored.  The claim is still in the finding of facts stage, and no decision was issued in any court level. The likelihood of loss in this proceeding was deemed as possible by legal counsel. The amount is not measurable and the claims are uncertain due to their unenforceability, since it would be necessary to restore the plan to its previous conditions.

 

·      Class actions filed by ASTEL in São Paulo State and FENAPAS - National Federation of Associations of Retirees, Pensioners and Pension Funds Members of the Telecommunications Industry, both against SISTEL, the Company and other carriers, seeking annulment of PBS pension plan spin-off, claiming “the dismantling of SISTEL Foundation supplementary pension system”, which originated several specific PBS-mirrors plans, and respective allocation of resources deriving from technical surplus and tax contingencies at the time of the spin-off.  The likelihood of loss in this proceeding was deemed as possible by legal counsel. The amount is not measurable and the claims are uncertain due to their unenforceability, since it would be necessary to restore SISTEL's spun-off fund related to carriers of the former Telebrás System.

·      The Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of São Paulo filed a class action claiming pain and suffering, and property damages suffered by all consumers of telecommunications services from 2004 to 2009 due to the bad quality of services and failures of the communications system. The Public Prosecutor’s Office suggested that the indemnification to be paid be R$ 1 billion.  The decision handed down on April 20, 2010 imposes the payment of indemnification for damages caused to all consumers who have filed a suit for such damages.

 

Conversely, in the event that the number of claiming consumers is not in line with the gravity of damages, after the lapsing of one year, the judge determined that the amount of R$ 60 million should be deposited in the Special Expenses Fund to Recover Natural Rights Damages (Fundo Especial de Despesa de Reparação de Interesses Difusos Lesados). The number of consumers who will individually file suits or the amounts claimed thereby may not be estimated. The parties filed an appeal on the merits of the case.  The judgment effects are in abeyance.  No amount has been assigned to the possible likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in connection with this action, since in the case of loss, estimating the corresponding amount payable by the Company is not practicable at this time. Likewise, establishing a provision for contingency equivalent to the amount sought is not possible.

 

·      The Company and its subsidiary are party to civil claims, at various levels, related to service rendering, which have been filed by individual consumers, civil associations representing consumer rights or by the Bureau of Consumer Protection (PROCON), as well as by the Federal and State Public Ministry. They are also involved in other claims of several types related to the normal course of business. Total contingency amounts to R$1,360,521 (R$643,432 as of December 31, 2012) for the Company and R$1,360,521 (R$1,236,312   as of December 31, 2012) for the consolidated, whose likelihood of an unfavorable outcome has been assessed as possible by their legal advisors.

 

·      The Company and its subsidiary have received notices regarding noncompliance with “SAC Decree”. The Company and its subsidiary are currently party to several administrative and legal proceedings, whose likelihood of an unfavorable outcome has been rated as possible by their legal advisors, amounting to R$16,245 as of September 30, 2013 (R$7,550 as of December 31, 2012) for the Company and R$16,245 (R$19,314 as of December 31, 2012) consolidated.

 

·      Intellectual Property: Lune Projetos Especiais Telecomunicação Comércio e Ind. Ltda (Lune), a Brazilian company, filed a lawsuit on November 20, 2001 against 23 wireless carriers claiming to own the patent for caller ID and the trademark "Bina".  The purpose of that lawsuit it to interrupt provision of such service by carriers and to seek indemnification equivalent to the amount paid by consumers for using the service.

  

An unfavorable decision was handed down determining that Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013) should refrain from selling mobile phones with Caller ID service (Bina), subject to a daily fine of R$ 10,000 in case of noncompliance. Furthermore, according to referred to decision, Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013) must pay indemnification for royalties to be calculated in settlement.  Motions for Clarification were filed by all parties and Lune’s motions for clarification were accepted since an injunctive relief in this stage of the proceedings was deemed applicable. An interlocutory appeal was filed in view of this decision, which suspended the interim relief, and rendered the unfavorable decision ineffective until a final decision is awarded to such appeal. An appeal was filed in view of the decision pending judgment. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome has been assessed as possible by legal advisors. There is no way to determine the extent of potential liabilities with respect to this claim.

·      Validity of prepaid plan: Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013) and other wireless carriers figure as defendants in various lawsuits filed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and consumer associations to challenge imposition of a period to use prepaid minutes. The plaintiffs claim that prepaid minutes should not expire after a specific period. Conflicting decisions on the matter were handed down by courts. Although we believe that our criteria for the period determination comply with ANATEL standards, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome has been assessed as possible by legal advisers, except for collective actions against Telemig, for which the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in relation to this claim is deemed remote, also based on the opinion of our legal advisors.

Regulatory contingencies

 

·      The Company and its subsidiary are party to administrative proceedings filed by ANATEL alleging noncompliance with the obligations set forth in industry regulations, as well as legal claims which discuss the sanctions applied by ANATEL at administrative level. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome was rated as possible for the Company and for the consolidated in the amount of R$1,638,114 (R$989,427 referring to assessment of administrative proceedings, R$179,129 for administrative proceedings in court, and R$469,558 for other legal claims) as of September 30, 2013, and R$1,164,988 (R$1,125,507 for the Company, of which R$903,926 refers to administrative proceedings, R$177,736 for administrative proceedings in court, and R$43,845 for other legal claims) as of December 31, 2012.  

 

·      Administrative proceedings discussing payment of 2% charge on revenue from interconnection services due to the extension of right of use of SMP-related radiofrequencies. Under clause 1.7 of the Authorization Terms that grant right of use of SMP-related radiofrequencies, the extension of right of use of such frequencies entails payment every two years, during the extension period (15 years), of a 2% charge calculated on net revenue from the basic and alternative service plans of the service company, determined in the year before that of payment.

However, ANATEL determined that the 2% charge should be calculated on revenue from service plans and also on revenue from interconnection services, which is not provided for by clause 1.7 of referred to Authorization Terms.

 

For considering, based on the provisions of the Authorization Terms, that revenue from interconnection services should not be included in the calculation of the 2% charge for radiofrequency use right extension, Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013) filed administrative proceedings challenging these charges, based on ANATEL’s position.

 

Legal advisors are of the understanding that the likelihood of loss in these proceedings is possible.

 

·      Administrative Proceeding No. 08012.008501/2007-91: It is a proceeding filed at the level of the Brazilian System for Competition Defense (SBDC) by Global Village Telecom Ltda (GVT), Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda (Intelig), Transit do Brasil Ltda. and Easytone Telecomunicações Ltda. on August 6, 2007 against Claro S.A. (Claro), Tim Brasil Serviços e Telecomunicações S.A. (TIM), TNL SCS S.A. (Oi) and Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013), for supposed trust and price squeeze practices, with the objective of increasing VUM tariff, thus increasing the costs of competitors. Due to the proceeding filed on August 21, 2008, the Department for Economic Right (SDE) started an administrative proceeding against the defendants in order to evaluate whether the practices adopted would fit into (i) items I, III and IV, article 20 combined with items V, article 21 and (ii) items I, III and IV, article 20 combined with items I and V, all of Law No. 8.884/94, to wit trust and price squeeze.

On March 25, 2010, SDE issued a technical note whereby it: (i) dismissed the charge of trust against all the defendants, recommending the shelving of such charge; (ii) suggested excluding Oi from the group of defendants in the investigation of price squeeze for considering that its economic group would be responsible for paying VUM and for lack of evidence of recurrent practices of prices below VUM; (iii) recommended condemning Vivo (merged into the Company on July 1, 2013), TIM and Claro, based on article 20, items I, III and IV, and article 21, item V, all of Law No. 8884/94, for the increase in costs of competitors (price squeeze). On November 7, 2012, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office issued an opinion under the same terms of SDE Note and, on March 12, 2013, the Attorney General of the Brazilian Antitrust Enforcement Agency (CADE) decided for the shelving of all charges.

 

On September 11, 2013, CADE, by unanimous vote, rendered inexistent the trust and price squeeze practices and shelved this proceeding.

Capital increases do not necessarily have to observe the proportion between the numbers of shares of each type. However, the number of preferred shares, nonvoting or with restricted voting, must not exceed 2/3 of the total shares issued.

 

Preferred shares are nonvoting, but have priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium, and are entitled to dividends 10% higher than those paid on common shares, as per article 7 of the Company’s bylaws and clause II, paragraph 1, article 17, of Law No. 6404/76.

 

b. Bonus paid on acquisition of interest from non-controlling shareholders

 

In accordance the with accounting practices adopted in Brazil previously to the adoption of the IFRS/CPC, goodwill was recorded when shares were acquired at a higher value than their book value, generated by the difference between the book value of shares acquired and the transaction’s fair value. With the adoption of IAS 27R/CPC 35 and 36, the effects of all acquisition of shares from non-controlling shareholders are recorded under equity when there is no change in the shareholding. Consequently, these transactions no longer generate goodwill or income, and the goodwill previously generated from acquisition from non-controlling shareholders, including expenses inherent to these transactions, were adjusted based on the Company’s equity. The acquisition of shares from non-controlling shareholders of Lemontree and GTR totaled R$40,519. The balance of this account as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was R$70,448.

 

c. Capital reserves

 

Special goodwill reserve

The balance of this account at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was R$63,074.

 

Other capital reserves

 

This reserve arises from merger of holdings TBS Celular Participações Ltda, Portelcom Participações S.A. and PTelecom Brasil S.A. into Vivo Part., which was recorded in Company after merger of Vivo Part. This reserve, amounting to R$47,723, may be used as future capital contribution by the Company. The balance of this account as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was R$2,735,930.

 

Treasury stock

 

These represent the Company’s treasury stock arising from: i) merger of TDBH (in 2006); ii) merger of Vivo Part. shares (in 2011), and iii) repurchase of common and preferred shares. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, balance in this account amounted to R$112,107.

(a)  In the first nine-month periods 2013 and 2012, Vivo (entity merges into the Company as of July 1, 2013) sold 93 and 1,424 non-strategic transmission towers for R$33,816 and R$431,978 (net of residual values), respectively. After the assets were sold, Vivo (entity merged into the Company as of July 1, 2013) leased back part of the towers disposed of to continue the data transmission required for its mobile telephone services.

 

This transaction was considered a sale and leaseback transaction, as under IAS 17. Leaseback of each asset sold was analyzed by management and classified as operating or finance lease, considering the qualitative and quantitative requirements set forth in IAS 17.

 

The risks and benefits of such towers were transferred to buyers, except for towers whose transfer of risks and benefits rely on physical inspections and the corresponding technical acceptance of buyer in 2012 operations. For such items, the sale amount was recognized as deferred income, net of residual values (Note 19).

29. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing income attributable to Company’s shareholders by the weighted average of the number of outstanding common and preferred shares for the year. No transactions were carried out that could have potential shares issued through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, there are no adjustments of diluting effects inherent in the potential issue of shares.

 

The table below shows the calculation of earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

32. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLAN

 

The Company's controlling shareholder, Telefónica S.A., has different share-based payment plans, which were also offered to management and employees of its subsidiaries, among which, Telefônica Brasil and its subsidiaries.

 

Fair value of options is estimated on the grant date, based on the binomial model for pricing options which considers terms and conditions of instrument grant.

 

The Company refunds Telefónica S.A. for the fair value of the benefit granted to management and employees on grant date.

 

Significant plans effective as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are detailed below:

a)    Share incentive plan of Telefónica S.A.: “Performance Share Plan” or “PSP”

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Telefónica S.A., held on June 21, 2006, approved adoption of a long-term incentive plan to executives of Telefónica S.A. and its subsidiaries, which consists of granting them, after fulfillment of the requirements set forth in the plan, with a given number of shares of Telefónica S.A., as variable compensation.

 

Initially, the plan is expected to remain effective for seven years. The plan is divided into five cycles, of three years each, each starting on July 1 (“Start Date”) and ending on June 30 of the third year following the Start Date (“End Date”). At the beginning of each cycle, the number of shares to be granted to plan beneficiaries will be determined based on fulfillment of objectives set. Shares will be granted, as the case may be, after the End Date of each cycle. Cycles are independent, with the first one starting on July 1, 2006 (with shares granted on July 1, 2009), and the fifth cycle, on July 1, 2010 (with shares granted, as the case may be, as from July 1, 2013).

 

Granting of shares is conditional upon:

 

·      Beneficiaries staying with the company for the three years of each cycle, subject to certain special conditions in relation to terminations.

·      The actual number of shares granted at the end of each cycle will depend on the level of success and maximum number of shares granted to each executive. The level of success is based on the comparison of the evolution of shareholder remuneration considering price and dividends (Total Shareholder Return - TSR) of Telefónica share, vis-à-vis the evolution of TSRs corresponding to a number of companies quoted in the telecommunications industry, which correspond to the Comparison Group. Each employee enrolled with the plan is granted, at the beginning of each cycle, a maximum number of shares, and the actual number of shares granted at the end of the cycle is calculated by multiplying this number by the maximum level of success on the date. This will be 100% if the evolution of Telefonica's TSR is equal to or greater than the third quartile of the Comparison Group, and 30% if this evolution is equal to the median. If the evolution is maintained between the two values, a linear interpolation will be made, and, if below the median, nothing will be granted.

In the fourth cycle, no shares were granted as the minimum level of success established in the program for the TSR was not achieved.

In the fifth cycle, no shares were granted as the minimum level of success established in the program for the TSR was not achieved.

 

b)    Performance & Investment Plan (PIP)

The General Shareholders' Meeting of Telefónica S.A., held on May 18, 2011, approved a long-term program to acknowledge the commitment, differentiated performance and high potential of its executives at global level, by granting them with Telefónica S.A. shares.

 

Participants of the plan need not pay for the shares initially granted to them and may increase the number of shares to be possible received by the end of the plan if they decide for a joint investment in their PIP. Co-investment requires that the participant buy and maintain, to the end of the cycle, a number equivalent to 25% of shares initially granted thereto by Telefónica S.A.. On participant’s co-investment, Telefónica S.A. will increase initial shares by 25%.

 

Initially, the plan is expected to remain effective for three years. The cycle began on July 1, 2011 and will be effective to June 30, 2014. The number of shares is reported at the beginning of the cycle and, after three years of grant date, shares are transferred to the participant if goals are achieved.

 

Granting of shares is conditional upon:

 

·      maintenance of active employment relationship within the Telefónica Group on the cycle consolidation date;

·      achievement, by Telefónica, of results representing fulfillment of the objectives established for the plan: the level of success is based on the comparison of the evolution or shareholder compensation, obtained through (TSR) to the evolution of the TSRs of the previously defined Comparison Group companies.

Ø  100% are granted if the TSR of Telefónica S.A exceeds the TSR of companies representing 75% of capitalization on the Comparison Group stock exchange.

Ø  30% are granted if the TSR of Telefónica S.A is equivalent to the TSR of companies representing 50% of capitalization on the Comparison Group stock exchange.

c)    Global share incentive plan of Telefónica S.A.: “Global Employee Share Plan” or “GESP”

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Telefónica S.A. held on May 18, 2011, approved the second round of the share option incentive plan of Telefónica S.A. for Telefonica Group’s employees, on a global level, including employees of Telefonica Brasil and its subsidiary. Through this plan, they are offered the possibility of acquiring shares of Telefónica S.A., which agrees to freely grant participants with a certain number of its shares, whenever certain requirements are fulfilled.

 

Initially, the plan is expected to remain effective for two years. Employees enrolled with the plan could acquire Telefónica S.A. shares through monthly contributions of up to 100 Euros (or equivalent in local currency), with maximum of 1,200 Euros over twelve months (vesting period). Shares will be granted, as the case may be, after the vesting period, beginning December 1, 2014, and is conditional upon:

·      Beneficiaries staying with the company for the two years of the program (vesting period), subject to certain special conditions in relation to terminations.

·      The exact number of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period will rely upon the number of shares acquired and held by employees. Thus, employees enrolled with the plan, continuing with the Group, and who have held the shares acquired for additional twelve months after the vesting period, are entitled to receive one free share for each share they have acquired and held through the end of the vesting period.

The vesting period started in November 2012 and, as of September 30, 2013, employees of Telefônica Brasil and its subsidiaries enrolled with the plan totaled 1,839.

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Company and its subsidiary use the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the valuation technique:

 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all data that has significant effect on the fair value recorded is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: techniques that use data that has significant effect on the fair value recorded and that is not based on observable market data.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value assessments, or transfers between Level 3 and Level 2 fair value assessments. The Company and its subsidiary do not have financial instruments with Level 3 fair value assessments.

 

Capital management

 

The purpose of the Company and its subsidiary’s Capital management is to ensure that a solid credit rating is sustained before the institutions, as well as an optimum capital ratio, in order to support the Company’s businesses and maximize the value to its shareholders.

 

The Company and its subsidiary manage their capital structure by making adjustments and fitting into current economic conditions. For this purpose, the Company and its subsidiary may pay dividend, raise new loans, issue promissory notes and contract derivative transactions. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in the Company’s objectives, policies or capital structure processes.

 

Net debt structure of the Company and its subsidiary includes: loans, financing, derivative operations, less cash and cash equivalents.

 

Risk management policy

 

The Company and its subsidiary are exposed to several market risks as a result of their commercial operations, debts obtained to finance their activities and debt-related financial instruments.

 

The key market risk factors that affect the business of the Company and its subsidiary are detailed below:

NOTES TO QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2013

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

a.    Currency risk

 

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to exchange rate fluctuations, which would increase the financial expenses stemming from loans denominated in foreign currency.

 

At September 30, 2013, 18.5% (19.9% at December 31, 2012) of the financial debt was denominated in foreign currency. The Company and its subsidiary have entered into derivative transactions (exchange rate hedge) with financial institutions to hedge against exchange rate variation on its gross debt in foreign currency (R$1,212,933 at September 30, 2013 and R$1,586,711 at December 31, 2012). In view of this, total debt was covered by long position on currency hedge  transactions (swap  for CDI) on those dates.

 

There is also the exchange rate risk related to non-financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency, which can lead to a lower amount receivable or higher amount payable, depending on exchange rate variation for the period.

 

As from May 2010, hedge transactions were taken out to minimize the exchange rate risk related to these non-financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency. This balance is subject to daily changes due to business dynamics. However, the Company intends to cover the net balance of these rights and obligations (US$59,928 thousand and €1,177 thousand payable at September 30, 2013 and US$ 16,130 thousand and €4,140 thousand payable at December 31, 2012) to minimize the related foreign exchange risk.

 

b.    Interest rate and inflation risk

 

This risk arises from the possibility of the Company and its subsidiary incurring losses due to an unfavorable change in internal interest rates, which may negatively affect financial expenses connected with part of debentures pegged to CDI and derivative short position (exchange rate hedge and IPCA) taken out at floating interest rates (CDI).

 

The debt taken out from BNDES is indexed by the TJLP (Long Term Interest Rate) quarterly set by the National Monetary Council, which was kept at 6.0% p.a. from July 2009 to June 2012. From July to December 2012, the TJLP was 5.5% p.a., and reduced to 5.0% p.a. as from January 2013.

 

The risk of inflation arises from the debentures of Telemig (merged into Vivo Part. As of June 1, 2010), indexed by the IPCA, which may adversely affect our financial expenses in the event of an unfavorable change in this index.

 

To reduce exposure to local floating interest rates (CDI), the Company and its subsidiary invest cash surplus of R$8,579,325 (R$7,039,181 at December 31, 2012), mainly in short-term financial investments (Bank Deposit Certificates) based on CDI variation. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates market value, since they are redeemable within short term.

 

c.    Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk derives from the possibility that the Company and its subsidiary do not have sufficient resources to meet their commitments according to the different currencies and terms of execution/settlement of their rights and obligations.

The Company and its subsidiary structure the maturity dates of the non-derivative financial agreements, as shown in note 16, and their respective derivatives as shown in the payments schedule disclosed in the referred note, in such manner as not to affect their liquidity.

 

The control over the Company’s and its subsidiary’s liquidity and cash flow is monitored daily by management, in such way as to ensure that the operating cash generation and the available lines of credit, as necessary, are sufficient to meet their schedule of commitments, not generating liquidity risks.

 

d.    Credit risk

 

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company and its subsidiary may incur losses due to the difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its customers and sales of handsets and pre-activated pre-paid cards to the distributor’s network.

 

The credit risk on accounts receivable is diversified and minimized by a strict control of the customer base. The Company and its subsidiary constantly monitor the level of accounts receivable of post-paid plans and limit the risk of past-due accounts, interrupting access to telephone lines for past due bills. The mobile customer base predominantly uses the prepaid system, which requires prior charging and consequently entails no credit risk. Exceptions are made for telecommunication services that must be maintained for security or national defense reasons.

 

The credit risk in the sale of handsets and “pre-activated” prepaid cards is managed under a conservative credit policy, by means of modern management methods, including the application of “credit scoring” techniques, analysis of financial statements and information, and consultation to commercial data bases, in addition to request of guarantees.

 

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the customer portfolio of the Company and its subsidiary had no subscribers whose receivables were individually higher than 1% of total accounts receivable from services.

 

The Company and its subsidiary are also subject to credit risk arising from short-term investments, letters of guarantee received as collateral in connection with certain transactions and receivables from derivative transactions. The Company and its subsidiary control the credit limit granted to all counterparties and diversifies such exposure among first-tier financial institutions, according to credit policy of financial counterparties in force.

 

Derivatives and risk management policy

 

All the Company’s and its subsidiary’s derivative instruments are intended to hedge against the currency risk arising from assets and liabilities in foreign currency, against inflation risk from its debenture indexed to IPCA (inflation rate) with shorter term, and against the risk of changes in TJLP of a debt with the BNDES. As such, any changes in risk factors generate an opposite effect on the hedged end. Therefore, there are no derivative instruments for speculative purposes and the Company is hedged against currency risk.

 

The Company and its subsidiary have internal controls over their derivative instruments, which, according to management, are appropriate to control the risks associated with each market strategy. The Company’s results derived from its derivative financial instruments indicate that the risks have been adequately managed.

The Company and its subsidiary determine the effectiveness of the derivative instruments entered into to hedge their financial liabilities at the beginning of the operation and on an ongoing basis (quarterly). At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivative instruments taken out were effective for the hedged debts. Provided that these derivative contracts qualify as hedge accounting, the hedged risk may also be adjusted at fair value, according to hedge accounting rules.  

The Company and its subsidiary entered into swap contracts in foreign currency at different exchange rates hedging their assets and liabilities in foreign currency.

 

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company and its subsidiary had no embedded derivative contracts.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The discounted cash flow method was used to determine the fair value of financial liabilities (when applicable) and derivative instruments, considering expected settlement of liabilities or realization of assets and liabilities at the market rates prevailing at balance sheet date.

 

Fair values are calculated by projecting future operating flows, using BM&FBovespa curves, and discounting to present value through market DI rates for swaps, as informed by BM&FBovespa.

 

The market values of exchange rate derivatives were obtained through market currency rates in force at the balance sheet date and projected market rates were obtained from currency coupon curves. The coupon for positions indexed to foreign currencies was determined using the 360-calendar-day straight-line convention; the coupon for positions indexed by CDI was determined using the 252-workday exponential convention.

 

The consolidated derivative financial instruments shown below are registered with CETIP. All of them are classified as swaps and do not require margin deposits.

NOTES TO QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Nine-month period ended September 30, 2013

(In thousands of reais, unless otherwise stated)

                                             

 

For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the Company and its subsidiary adopted hedge accounting for its foreign currency X CDI, IPCA x CDI and TJLP x CDI swap transactions providing financial debt hedge. Under this methodology, both the derivative and the risk covered are stated at fair value.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, ineffectiveness amounted to R$581 and R$2,188, respectively.

 

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, derivative transactions generated a consolidated gain of R$86,017 and R$90,370, respectively, according to Note 27.

 

As of September 30, 2013, consolidated balances were R$437,179 for assets and R$68,873 for liabilities in order to recognize the derivatives position as of that date.

 

Sensitivity analysis of the Company’s risk variables

CVM Rule No. 604/09 requires listed companies to disclose, in addition to the provisions of Technical Pronouncement CPC No. 40 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure (equivalent to IFRS 7), a table showing the sensitivity analysis of each type of market risk inherent in financial instruments considered significant by management and to which the Company is exposed at the closing date of each reporting period, including all operations involving derivative financial instruments.

 

In compliance with the foregoing, all the operations involving derivative financial instruments were evaluated considering a probable scenario and two scenarios that may adversely impact the Company.

 

The assumption taken into consideration under the probable scenario was to keep, the maturity date of each transaction, what has been signaled by the market through BM&FBovespa market curves (currencies and interest rates). Accordingly, the probable scenario does not provide for any impact on the fair value of the derivative financial instruments mentioned above. For scenarios II and III, risk variables contemplated 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, pursuant to the applicable CVM ruling. 

 

Considering that the Company has derivative instruments only to cover its assets and liabilities in foreign currency, changes in scenarios are offset by changes in the related hedged items, thus indicating that the effects are nearly null. For these operations, the Company reported the value of the hedged item and of the derivative financial instrument in separate lines in the sensitivity analysis table in order to provide information on consolidated net exposure for each of the three scenarios mentioned, as follows:
