EXPLANATORY NOTE - AMENDMENT
Meritor, Inc. (the “company” or “Meritor”) is filing this Form 10-K/A to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2011 (the “Annual Report”), pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, financial statements and related notes of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“MSA”) and Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“SSA”), unconsolidated joint ventures incorporated in Brazil in which the company owns an interest. Meritor owns a 49% interest in MSA (directly) and a 50% interest in SSA (through both direct and indirect interests).
Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X provides that if a 50% or less owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1-02(w), substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50% or less owned person shall be filed. Such statements are required to be audited only in the years in which such person met such test.
Both MSA and SSA met such test for Meritor’s fiscal years 2011 and 2010 and did not meet such test for Meritor’s fiscal year 2009. Normally, therefore, under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the company would be required to file MSA’s and SSA’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (“2011” and “2010”) and to file unaudited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009”).
Effective January 1, 2009, Brazil adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements of MSA and SSA for 2011, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. As a result of the adoption of IFRS in 2009, MSA and SSA financial statements for 2009 have been audited.
Since the financial statement of MSA and SSA are presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, reconciliations between local GAAP and U.S. GAAP are not required pursuant to SEC Release numbers 33-8879 and 34-57026 and have been omitted.
Item 15 is the only portion of the Annual Report being supplemented or amended by this Form 10-K/A. Additionally, in connection with the filing of this Form 10-K/A and pursuant to SEC rules, Meritor is including currently dated certifications. This Form 10-K/A does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with Meritor’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda.
Caxias do Sul, RS
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”), a company incorporated in Brazil, as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

▪ | Suspensys is jointly controlled as there is an agreement between Suspensys shareholders’ (the Company, Randon and Meritor) that Suspensys’ Consultative Board (i.e., governing body) is comprised of six members, which makes the significant decisions associated with Suspensys’ operations. Three members of the consultative board are elected by Randon and the other three by Meritor and all decisions need to be agreed by at least four board members. |
▪ | In accordance with the articles of association, each matter discussed in Suspensys’ shareholders meeting are approved by at least 80% of the shareholders. |
2. | PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Company’s Financial Statements for the years ended on December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The Company adopted all rules, revision of rules, and interpretations issued by IASB and that are applicable for the year ended on December 31, 2011.
The summary of the principal accounting policies adopted by the Company is detailed in note 3.
The financial statements were approved by the Company’s executive committee and authorized for issue on May 28, 2012.
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
3.1 | Basis of preparation |
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
3.2 | Functional and presentation currency |
The financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in thousands of reais was rounded to the closest number.
11
3.3 | Critical accounting judgments and key estimates and assumptions |
In the application of accounting policies, Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful debts, impairment of inventories, the realization of deferred taxes, and the provision for labor and social security risks. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to uncertainties inherent in such estimates.
3.4 | Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• | the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
• | the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
• | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
• | it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and |
• | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.
3.5 | Foreign currencies |
In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
3.6 | Current and non-current assets |
•Cash and cash equivalents
Include cash on hand and in banks and short-term investments redeemable in up to 90 days from the investment date. Short-term investments are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These investments are carried at cost plus yield accrued through the end of the reporting period, which approximates their fair values.
•Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized at the billed amount, including the related taxes and reduced to their present value at the end of the reporting period, when applicable.
Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Company’s past default experience and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position.
12
•Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of inventories are determined under the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
The allowances for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary by Management.
•Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that does not qualify as a subsidiary or a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The profit or loss, assets, and liabilities of associates are included in the financial statements by the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for purposes of recognition of the Company’s share in profit or loss and other comprehensive income of an associate. When the Company’s share of losses of an associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including any long-term investment which, in substance, is included in the Company’s net investment in the associate), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Further losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
When the Company’s subsidiary conducts a transaction with an associate, the resulting profits or losses are recognized only proportionately to the interests held in the associate not related to the Company.
•Property, plant and equipment
Carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy (note 3.9). Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Land is not depreciated. For the other classes of property, plant and equipment, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at the rates mentioned in note 9, which take into consideration the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of a property and equipment item is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
•Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
13
3.7 | Impairment of tangible and intangible assets |
At the end of each reporting period (or earlier when the need is identified), the Company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine where there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, as long as the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years/periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.8 | Discount to present value |
Monetary assets and liabilities are discounted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The discount to present value is calculated based on an interest rate that reflects the timing and risk of each transaction.
Trade receivables are discounted to present value with a corresponding entry in sales revenue in the statement of income, and the difference between the present value of a transaction and the face value of the billing is considered as financial income and will be recognized based on the amortized cost and the effective long-term rate of the transaction.
The discount to present value of purchases is recorded in “trade payables” and “inventories”, and its realization has a corresponding entry in line item “financial expenses” over the term of their suppliers.
3.9 | Borrowing costs |
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets.
Income on investments earned on the short-term investment of funds of specific borrowings not yet spent on the qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
3.10 | Retirement benefit plan |
The Company is the sponsor of a defined contribution plan with minimum guaranteed benefits and the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in equity (in line item ‘Carrying value adjustments’) according to the available option in paragraph 93A IAS 19 - Employee Benefits.
14
3.11 | Financial instruments |
(a)Classification and measurement
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The Company’s management classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the time of initial contracting.
Loans and receivables measured at amortized cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
Borrowings are initially recognized, upon receipt of funds, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument.
3.12 | Provisions |
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at Management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.
3.13 | Tax incentive (FUNDOPEM) |
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Subsidized loans, directly or indirectly provided by the Government, obtained at interest rates lower than market, are treated as government grants, measured at the difference between the amounts raised and the fair value of the borrowing calculated using market interest rates.
3.14 | Income tax and social contribution |
Current taxes
The provision for income and social contribution is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The provision for income tax and social contribution is calculated based on rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period (15% plus a 10% surtax on taxable profit exceeding R$ 20 per month for Income Tax and 9% on taxable profit for Social Contribution on Net Profit).
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences at the end of each annual reporting period between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
15
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from 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.
Current and deferred taxes for the period
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. | TRADE RECEIVABLES |
Trade receivables are as follows:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||||

Trade receivables from related parties – foreign | 7,059 | 3,878 | 6,641 | |||||
Total | 56,257 | 38,306 | 30,820 |
Trade receivables include amounts that are past due at the end of the reporting period for which the Company has not recognized an allowance for doubtful debts because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable, through negotiation with customers. The aging of past-due trade receivables for which no allowance for doubtful debts was recognized is as follows:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||||
1 to 30 days | 16,815 | 4,231 | 6,157 | |||||

Total | 56,257 | 38,306 | 30,820 |
18
To determine whether or not trade receivables are recoverable, the Company takes into consideration any change in the customer’s creditworthiness from the date the credit was originally granted to the end of the reporting period. The credit risk concentration is limited because the customer base is comprehensive and there is no relationship between customers. The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancement over these receivables.
6. | RECOVERABLE TAXES |

13. | RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN |
The Company is the co-sponsor of the pension fund RANDONPREV, together with other Random companies, whose benefit plan is a defined contribution plan under the financial capitalization regime, with some supplementations of benefits for employees, not covered by the defined benefits. This minimum benefit is defined based on a percentage of the nominal salary per annum worked for the Company, credited in a lump sum at the beneficiary’s account with RANDONPREV. The latest valuation of the plan assets and of the present value of the benefit was performed at December 31, 2011, using the projected unit credit method and the determined balance of R$ 441 at December 31, 2011 (R$ 371 at December 31, 2010, R$ 249 at December 31, 2009), corresponding to the Company’s benefit, is recorded in assets.

Nature of contingent liability | Likelihood of loss | |||||
Probable | Possible | |||||
Tax | — | 15,293 | ||||
Social security | 425 | 1,536 | ||||
Labor | 265 | 140 | ||||

Labor | 110 | 155 | 265 | ||
Social security | 333 | 92 | 425 | ||
Total | 443 | 247 | 690 |
The Company is also a party to administrative proceedings for which, based on the opinion of its legal counsel and in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, no provision for tax and social security risks was recognized since they were classified as possible or remote likelihood of loss. The main lawsuits are as follows:
Tax
a) | IPI presumed credit - Refers to notices issued by the Federal Revenue Office in the total amount of R$ 1,476, through which the tax authorities denied the Company’s request for refund of presumed credit and required the payment of the corresponding tax. The amount includes principal, fine and interest. |
b) | Income tax, social contribution and withholding income tax - assessment notices issued by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service totaling R$ 5,331 (as adjusted), collecting these taxes on regular payments made to Company agents abroad as agency commission of sales and services. The related proceedings are being handled at the administrative level. |
c) | PIS and COFINS – voluntary appeal requesting the judgment of the Noncompliance Claim regarding the offset of PIS and COFINS credits since the merits of such Noncompliance Claim has not been judged by the courts. Adjusted amount: R$ 763. |
27
d) | Administrative proceeding challenging an assessment notice collecting PIS-imports, COFINS-imports, Federal VAT (IPI), and import duties (II), plus fine for alleged noncompliance of Drawback Award Acts, totaling R$ 1,396. |
e) | Disallowance of ICMS presumed credit on purchase of steel –refers to assessment notices issued by the Rio Grande do Sul State Department of Finance totaling R$ 6,328, through which this tax authority confirmed the award of the tax benefit in an amount higher than permitted by the law. The amount includes principal, fine and interest. |
Social security
a) | Refers to INSS assessment notices totaling R$ 1,536 for the nonpayment of payroll taxes on the profit sharing bonuses paid to employee. |
15. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities were determined based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. However, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to produce the most adequate estimate of the fair value. As a consequence, the following estimates do not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange market. The use of different market methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
These instruments are managed by means of operating strategies aimed at liquidity, profitability and security. The control policy consists in ongoing monitoring of contracted rates against market rates. The Company does not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risk assets.
Balance breakdown
The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments (carried at amortized cost) included in the balance sheet are identified below:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||||

Trade receivables | 56,257 | 38,306 | 30,820 | |||||
Trade payables | 23,942 | 11,213 | 8,780 | |||||
Borrowings and financing | ||||||||
In local currency | 99,900 | 80,105 | 57,568 | |||||
In foreign currency | 5,644 | 2,939 | 4,533 | |||||
Amounts due to related parties | 1,204 | 1,356 | 1,043 |
Financial instruments that are recognized in the financial statements at their amortized cost are substantially similar to the amounts that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, as they do not have an active market, there can be variations if the Company decides to settle them in advance.
The cost of financial instruments approximates fair value, so the disclosure of levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable.
•Limitations
The fair values were estimated at the end of the reporting period, based on “relevant market information”. Any changes in assumptions may significantly affect the presented estimates.

The Company is exposed to the following risks associated to the utilization of its financial instruments:
i. | credit risk |
ii. | foreign exchange rate risk |
iii. | interest rate risk |
iv. | price risk |
v. | liquidity risk |
The Company, through its Parent Company, has a Currency Hedge Policy, prepared by the Planning and Finance Committee and approved by the Executive Officers. The purpose of the policy is to standardize the procedures of the group Companies, in order to define responsibilities and limits in transactions involving currency hedge, reducing the effects of foreign currency exchange rates on the inflows in foreign currency projected by the cash flow, without speculative purposes.
The basis used is the cash flow in foreign currency projected monthly for the following twelve months, based on the Strategic Plan projections or on the current expectation of each group company. If considered necessary, the instruments used are conservative and previously approved by the same committee. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments.
a. | Credit risk |
The Company's sales policies are contingent on the credit policies defined by Management and are intended to minimize possible problems arising from the default of its customers. This objective is achieved by Management by means of a strict selection of the customer portfolio, which considers the ability to pay (credit analysis). A customer’s creditworthiness is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding trade receivables are frequently monitored. The need for an allowance for impairment losses is analyzed at the end of each reporting period on an individual basis, for the major customers. Additionally, receivables lower that the allowance are collective tested.
Sales concentration:
In the year ended December 31, 2011, four costumers individually accounted for more than 10% of sales, with shares of 27.9% (26.2% in 2010 and 29.0% in 2009), 12.6% (11.8% in 2010 and 9.9% in 2009), 12.0% (13.2% in 2010 and 13.2% in 2009) and 14.3% (15.3% in 2010 and 14.7% in 2009) of net revenue each, equivalent to R$ 146 million (R$ 113 million in 2010 and R$ 79 million in 2009) R$66 million (R$ 51 million in 2010 and R$ 27 million in 2009), R$ 63 million (R$ 57 million in 2010 and R$ 36 million in 2009) and R$ 75 million (R$ 66 million in 2010 and R$ 40 million in 2009). This last amount refers to a related party. Other Company sales in the domestic and foreign markets are diluted and there is no sales concentration in a percentage above 10% for any other customer.
b. | Foreign exchange rate risk |
The Company’s results are exposed to significant fluctuations due to the effects of the exchange rate volatility on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar, which closed the year with a positive fluctuation of 12.58% (negative fluctuation of 4.31% in 2010 and 25.49% in 2009).
The Company is exposed to the currency risk (foreign exchange risk) on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Brazilian real.
The Company’s net exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is as follows:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||||
A. Borrowings/financing | (5,644 | ) | (2,939 | ) | (4,533 | ) | ||
B. Trade payables | (1,344 | ) | (461 | ) | (1,148 | ) | ||
C. Trade receivables | 8,873 | 4,727 | 7,389 | |||||
D. Net exposure (A+B+C) | 1,885 | 1,327 | 1,708 |
29
A 2% appreciation of the real against the US dollar at December 31, 2011 would have increased equity and profit by R$ 38 (R$ 27 in 2010 and R$ 34 in 2009). This analysis is based on the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation that the Company considered as reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, especially interest rates, remain constant.
Any depreciation of the real against the US dollar at December 31, 2011 would have the opposite effect, assuming that all other variables would remain constant.
c. | Interest rate risk |
The Company’s result is exposed to significant fluctuations due to borrowings and financing contracted at floating interest rates.
The Company does not have derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rates.
Pursuant to its financial policies, the Company has not entered into any transactions involving financial instruments for speculative purposes.
A 1% increase in annual interest rates would have increased the Company’s borrowings and financing balance by R$ 1,055 at December 31, 2011 (R$ 830 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 621 at December 31, 2009).
This analysis assumes that all other variables that could impact this carrying amount remain constant. Any decrease in the interest rates by the same percentage would have the opposite effect, assuming that all other variables would remain constant.
The interest rates on the Company’s borrowings and financing are disclosed in note 11 – Borrowings and Financing.
d. | Price risk |
Arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the market prices of products sold or produced by the Company and of other inputs used in the production process. These price fluctuations may cause substantial changes in the Company’s revenues and costs. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company conducts an ongoing monitoring of local and foreign markets, seeking to anticipate price movements. The Company has not contracted any financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in its raw materials’ prices.
e. | Liquidity risk |
The table below details the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s liabilities and the contractual amortization periods. The table was prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the nearest date on which the Company can be required to make the related payment. The table includes interest and principal cash flows. As the interest flows refer to floating rates, the undiscounted value was obtained based on the interest curves at the end of the reporting period. Contractual maturity is based on the first date the Company can be required to pay the related obligations.

17. | DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON CAPITAL |
Dividends
Of the profit for the year, the articles of association establish the distribution of 25% of such profit as mandatory dividend. After excluding the amounts already paid as interest on capital during the year, R$ 12,677 was accrued in 2010 (R$ 11,800 in 2009).
In addition to the mandatory minimum dividend (calculated considering the amounts already paid as interest on capital during the year), in 2010 the Company’s shareholders approved the distribution of R$ 8,400 as dividends from prior years (R$ 21,107 in 2009).
The Annual and Extraordinary shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2011 approved the dividend distribution proposal and interest on capital and dividends totaling R$ 45,144 were paid on May 30, 2011, as follows:
Interest on capital accrued at 12/31/2010 (gross of IRRF): | R$10,990 |

The shareholders’ meeting held on August 19, 2011 approved the early distribution of dividends, based on retained earnings through June 30, 2011, totaling R$ 27,088, paid on September 15, 2011.
Interest on Capital
The Company recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 interest on capital of R$ 13,943 (R$ 10,990 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and R$ 10,358 in 2009), using as a basis the TJLP for the period January-December of each year, applied to equity, considering the higher of 50% of the profit for the year before income tax or 50% of the retained earnings.
As provided for by the tax law, the amount recognized as interest on capital was fully deducted in the calculation of income tax and social contribution, and the tax benefit from this deduction was R$ 4,741 (R$ 3,738 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and R$ 3,522 in 2009). For purposes of conformity of the presentation of the financial statements, such interest was treated as dividends and disclosed as a reduction of retained earnings in equity, and the tax benefit as a reduction of expenses on current income tax and social contribution.
The interest on capital amounts credited to shareholders are subject to 15% withholding income tax (IRRF) and the net amount payable to shareholders is disclosed in line item ‘Interest on capital payable’ and possible income tax not withheld is recognized in line item ‘Taxes payable’.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda.
Caxias do Sul, RS
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”), a company incorporated in Brazil, as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009
(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise stated)
1. | OPERATIONS |
Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”) is a limited liability company established in Brazil with its head office and principal place of business at Avenida Abramo Randon, 1262, Caxias do Sul, RS, and is a jointly controlled entity of Randon S.A. Implementos e Participações (“Randon”) and Meritor Inc. (“Meritor”). The Company started its operations on October 1, 2002 and is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of air and mechanical suspension systems for trucks, buses and trailers, trailer axles, third axles, hubs and drums for trucks, buses and trailers, and the provision of technical assistance services for its products.
2. | PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Company’s Financial Statements for the years ended on December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The Company adopted all rules, revision of rules, and interpretations issued by IASB and that are applicable for the year ended on December 31, 2011.
The summary of the principal accounting policies adopted by the Company is detailed in note 3.
The financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and authorized for issuance on May 28, 2012.
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
3.1 | Basis of preparation |
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
3.2 | Functional and presentation currency |
The financial statements are presented in thousands of reais, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in thousands of reais was rounded to the closest number.
3.3 | Critical accounting judgments and key estimates and assumptions |
In the application of accounting policies, Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful debts, impairment of inventories, the realization of deferred taxes, and the provision for labor and social security risks. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or also subsequent periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to uncertainties inherent in such estimates.
3.4 | Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
44
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• | the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; |
• | the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; |
• | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
• | it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and |
• | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
Specifically, revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when goods are delivered and legal title is passed.
3.5 | Foreign currencies |
In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
3.6 | Current and non-current assets |
• | Cash and cash equivalents |
Include cash on hand and in banks and short-term investments redeemable in up to 90 days from the investment date. Short-term investments are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These investments are carried at cost plus yield accrued through the end of the reporting period, which approximates their fair values.
• | Trade receivables |
Trade receivables are recognized at the billed amount, including the related taxes and reduced to their present value at the end of the reporting period, when applicable.
Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Company’s past default experience and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position.
• | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of inventories are determined under the weighted average cost method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
The allowances for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary by Management.
• | Property, plant and equipment |
Carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Properties in the course of construction are carried at cost. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy (note 3.9). Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Land is not depreciated. For the other classes of property, plant and equipment, depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at the rates mentioned in note 8, which take into consideration the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
45
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of a property and equipment item is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
• | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gain or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
3.7 | Impairment of tangible and intangible assets |
At the end of each reporting period (or earlier when the need is identified), the Company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine where there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, as long as the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years/periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.8 | Discount to present value |
Monetary assets and liabilities are discounted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The discount to present value is calculated based on an interest rate that reflects the timing and risk of each transaction.
Trade receivables are discounted to present value with a corresponding entry in sales revenue in the statement of income, and the difference between the present value of a transaction and the face value of the billing is considered as financial income and will be recognized based on the amortized cost and the effective long-term rate of the transaction.
The discount to present value of purchases is recorded in “trade payables” and “inventories”, and its realization has a corresponding entry in line item “financial expenses” over the term of their suppliers.
3.9 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets.
Income on investments earned on the short-term investment of funds of specific borrowings not yet spent on the qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
46
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
3.10 Retirement Benefit Plan
The Company is the sponsor of a defined contribution plan with minimum guaranteed benefits and the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in equity (in line item ‘Retained earnings’) according to the available option in paragraph 93A of IAS 19 - Employee Benefits.
3.11 Financial instruments
Classification and measurement
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The Company’s management classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the time of initial contracting.
Loans and receivables measured at amortized cost
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
Borrowings are initially recognized, upon receipt of funds, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument.
3.12 Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at Management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.
3.13 Tax incentive (FUNDOPEM)
Subsidized loans, directly or indirectly provided by the Government, obtained at interest rates lower than market, are treated as government grants, measured at the difference between the amounts raised and the fair value of the borrowing calculated using market interest rates.
3.14 Income tax and social contribution
Current taxes
The provision for income tax and social contribution is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The provision for income tax and social contribution is calculated based on rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period (15% plus a 10% surtax on taxable profit exceeding R$20 per month for Income Tax and 9% on taxable profit for Social Contribution on Net Profit).
47
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences at the end of each annual reporting period between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from 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.
Current and deferred taxes for the period
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively

Total | 141,114 | 90,027 | 71,776 |
Trade receivables include amounts that are past due at the end of the reporting period for which the Company has not recognized an allowance for doubtful debts because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable, through negotiation with customers.

To determine whether or not trade receivables are recoverable, the Company takes into consideration any change in the customer’s creditworthiness from the date the credit was originally granted to the end of the reporting period. The credit risk concentration is limited because the customer base is comprehensive and there is no relationship between customers. The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancement over these receivables.

Probable | Possible | |||||
Tax | — | 13,910 | ||||
Labor | 782 | 360 | ||||

Labor | 141 | 9 | 150 | 632 | 782 | ||||||||||
Total | 141 | 9 | 150 | 632 | 782 |
The Company is also a party to administrative proceedings for which, based on the opinion of its legal counsel and in conformity with IFRS, no provision was recorded since they were classified as possible likelihood of loss, as follows:
57
Tax
a) | State VAT (ICMS) – the Company received a tax assessment notice from the Rio Grande do Sul Department of Finance in the original amount of R$ 7,801 for alleged irregularity in the calculation of the ICMS relief benefit under the “FUNDOPEM/Nosso Emprego” program. The amount includes principal, fine and interest. On January 24, 2007, as a result of the motion to deny filed by the Company, the debt calculations were reperformed by the tax authorities. The amount of the matter under litigation was reduced in 2008, due to the judgment of the annulment action filed by the Company, and a new amount of R$ 2,277 was attributed, including fine and interest. On December 10, 2010, the tax authority converted the tax assessment penalty, initially typified as basic, equivalent to 60%, into a qualified penalty at the percentage of 120%, thus generating a supplementary tax assessment of R$ 415, totaling R$ 2,693.The Company filed an objection against said tax assessment notice on a timely basis. |
b) | The Company was assessed in the inflation adjusted amount of R$ 7,678, for an alleged import duties (II) and Federal VAT (IPI) debt, for alleged noncompliance with award acts provided for by the Drawback special regime. Awaiting expert evidence. |
c) | Disallowance of ICMS presumed credit on purchase of steel - refers to assessment notices issued by the Rio Grande do Sul State Department of Finance totaling R$ 3,539, through which this tax authority confirmed the award of the tax benefit in an amount higher than permitted by the law. |
Labor
Several labor lawsuits mostly consisting of compensation claims.
Social security
The Company received INSS assessment notices for alleged nonpayment of social security taxes on profit sharing, against which the Company filed objections currently being at the judgment stage at the Federal Revenue Service, assessed as possible losses. The inflation adjusted amount under litigation of these assessments totals R$ 4,682.
13. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities were determined based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. However, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to produce the most adequate estimate of the fair value. As a consequence, the following estimates do not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange market. The use of different market methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
These instruments are managed by means of operating strategies aimed at liquidity, profitability and security. The control policy consists in ongoing monitoring of contracted rates against market rates. The Company does not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risk assets.
Analysis of balances
The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments, all measured at the amortized cost, included in the balance sheet are identified below:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||||
Description | ||||||||
Cash equivalents | 132,773 | 177,575 | 112,087 | |||||
Trade receivables | 141,114 | 90,027 | 71,776 | |||||
Borrowings and financing: | ||||||||
In local currency | 123,031 | 116,124 | 93,137 | |||||
In foreign currency | 4,602 | 5,563 | 7,361 | |||||
Amounts due to related parties (intragroup loans) | 4,942 | 3,707 | 3,379 |
58
Financial instruments that are recognized in the financial statements at their amortized cost are substantially similar to the amounts that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, as they do not have an active market, there can be variations if the Company decides to settle them in advance.
The cost of financial instruments approximates fair value, so the disclosure of levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable.
• | Financial risk management |
The Company is exposed to the following risks associated to its operating and financing activities, including the utilization of its financial instruments:
i. | credit risk |
ii. | foreign exchange rate risk |
iii. | interest rate risk |
iv. | price risk |
v. | liquidity risk |
The Company, through its Parent Company, has a Currency Hedge Policy, prepared by the Planning and Finance Committee and approved by the Executive Officers. The purpose of the policy is to standardize the procedures of the group Companies, in order to define responsibilities and limits in transactions involving currency hedge, reducing the effects of foreign currency exchange rates on the inflows in foreign currency projected by the cash flow, without speculative purposes.
The basis used is the cash flow in foreign currency projected monthly for the following twelve months, based on the Strategic Plan projections or on the current expectation of each group company. If considered necessary, the instruments used are conservative and previously approved by the same committee. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments.
a. | Credit risk |
Credit risk arises from the possibility of a counterparty not fulfilling its obligation, which would cause financial loss. In the course of its operations, the Company is exposed to the credit risk as a result of its operating activities, arising mainly on trade receivables.
The Company's sales policies are contingent on the credit policies defined by Management and are intended to minimize possible problems arising from the default of its customers. This objective is achieved by Management by means of a strict selection of the customer portfolio, which considers the ability to pay (credit analysis). A customer’s creditworthiness is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding trade receivables are frequently monitored. The need for an allowance for impairment losses is analyzed at the end of each reporting period on an individual basis, for the major customers. Additionally, receivables lower that the allowance are collective tested.
Sales concentration
In the year ended December 31, 2011, three costumers individually accounted for more than 10% of sales, with shares of 26.10% (25.68% in 2010 and 35.77% in 2009), 20.56% (19.44% in 2010 and 21.15% in 2009) and 10.68% (7.19% in 2010 and 0.91% in 2009) of net revenue each, equivalent to R$ 304,924 (R$ 259,718 in 2010 and R$ 230,309 in 2009), R$ 240,180 (R$ 196,618 in 2009 and R$ 136,156 in 2009) and R$ 124,732 (R$ 72,704 in 2010 and R$ 5,878 in 2009). These last two amounts refer to related parties. Other Company sales in the domestic and foreign markets are diluted and there is no sales concentration in a percentage above 10% for any other customer.
b. | Foreign exchange rate risk |
The Company’s results are exposed to significant fluctuations due to the effects of the exchange rate volatility on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar, which closed the year with a positive fluctuation of 12.58% (negative fluctuation of 4.31% in 2010, 25.49% in 2009).
59
The Company is exposed to the currency risk (foreign exchange risk) on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the Brazilian real.
The Company’s net exposure to foreign exchange rate risk at the end of the reporting period is as follows:
12/31/2011 | 12/31/2010 | 12/31/2009 | ||||
A. Financing | (4,602 | ) | (5,563 | ) | (7,361 | ) |
B. Trade and other receivables | 6,030 | 7,993 | 4,527 | |||
C. Net exposure (A+B) | 1,428 | 2,430 | (2,834 | ) |
A possible depreciation of the real against the US dollar by approximately 2% at December 31, 2011, would decrease profits by R$ 29 (R$ 49 in 2010 and R$ 57 in 2009). This analysis is based on the fluctuation of the foreign currency that the Company took into consideration for its strategic planning. The analysis assumes that all other variables, especially interest rates, remain constant.
Any appreciation of the real against the US dollar would have the opposite effect, assuming that all other variables would remain constant.
c. | Interest rate risk |
The Company’s result is exposed to significant fluctuations due to borrowings and financing contracted at floating interest rates.
The Company does not have derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rates.
Pursuant to its financial policies, the Company has not entered into any transactions involving financial instruments for speculative purposes.
A 1% increase in annual interest rates would have increased the Company’s borrowings and financing balance by R$ 1,276 at December 31, 2011 (R$ 1,217 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 1,005 at December 31, 2009). This analysis assumes that all other variables that could impact this carrying amount remain constant. Any decrease in the interest rates by the same percentage would have the opposite effect, assuming that all other variables would remain constant.
d. | Price risk |
Arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the market prices of products sold or produced by the Company and of other inputs used in the production process. These price fluctuations may cause substantial changes in the Company’s revenues and costs. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company conducts an ongoing monitoring of local and foreign markets, seeking to anticipate price movements. The Company has not contracted any financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in its raw materials’ prices.
e. | Liquidity risk |
The table below details the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s liabilities and the contractual amortization periods. The table was prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the nearest date on which the Company can be required to make the related payment. The table includes interest and principal cash flows. As the interest flows refer to floating rates, the undiscounted value was obtained based on the interest curves at the end of the reporting period. Contractual maturity is based on the first date the Company can be required to pay the related obligations.

On August 1, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the 19th amendment to the Articles of Organization which increases capital to R$ 110,000 (without the issuance of new shares), by capitalizing R$ 36,354 from the tax incentives reserve and R$ 2,355 from the earnings reserve.
15. | TAX INCENTIVE RESERVES |
Represented tax incentives received in 2010 (up to October 2010) and 2009, respectively, in the amounts of R$ 11,763 and R$ 13,013, under the FUNDOPEM/NOSSO EMPREGO program.
The amount of R$ 36,354 recognized in equity at December 31, 2010 refers to tax incentives obtained through October 2010 under the FUNDOPEM/NOSSO EMPREGO program. This ICMS relief benefit granted to the Company was calculated monthly and was contingent to the generation of direct and indirect jobs in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The tax incentives received were recognized in profit for the year as they were received and allocated to a special account of equity. The benefit was discontinued in October 2010. On August 1, 2011, the Company’s shareholders decided to use this reserve to increase the Company’s capital as mentioned in note 14.
16. | DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON CAPITAL |
Dividends
Of the remaining profit for the year, the articles of association establish the distribution of 33.3% of such profit as mandatory dividend. After excluding the amounts already paid as interest on capital during the year, R$ 18,996 was accrued in 2010 (R$ 13,535 in 2009).
In addition to the mandatory minimum dividend (calculated considering the amounts already paid as interest on capital during the year), in 2010 the Company’s shareholders approved the distribution of R$ 18,146 as dividends from prior years (R$ 10,300 in 2009).
The Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2011 approved the dividend distribution proposal and interest on capital and dividends for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaling R$ 51,675 were paid on May 30, 2011, as follows:
61

Minimum dividends prescribed by Company bylaws accrued at 12/31/2010: | R$28,870 |
Supplementary dividends: | R$13,214 |
Total | R$51,675 |
The shareholders’ meeting held on August 19, 2011 approved the early distribution of dividends, based on retained earnings through June 30, 2011, totaling R$ 25,080, paid on September 15, 2011.
Interest on capital
The Company recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 interest on capital of R$ 12,143 (R$ 9,591 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and R$ 8,635 for the year ended December 31, 2009), using as a basis the TJLP for the period January-December of each year, applied to equity, considering the higher of 50% of the profit for the year before income tax or 50% of the retained earnings.
As provided for by the tax law, the amount recognized as interest on capital was fully deducted in the calculation of income tax and social contribution, and the tax benefit from this deduction was R$ 4,131 (R$ 3,261 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and R$ 2,936 for the year ended December 31, 2009). For purposes of conformity of the presentation of the financial statements, such interest was treated as distribution of profits and disclosed as a reduction of retained earnings in equity, and the tax benefit as a reduction of expenses on current income tax and social contribution.
