Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders, Directors and Management of

Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL

São Paulo - SP - Brazil

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

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

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America - U.S. GAAS. 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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with IFRS, as issued by IASB.

Emphasis of Matter

Accounting practices in conformity with IFRS, as issued by IASB, vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America - U.S. GAAP. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 32 to the consolidated financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

    The consolidated financial statements, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, have been prepared to fulfill the requirement of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X of its shareholder DDR Corp., to be included in its Form 10-K. The Company applied the accounting policies set out in note 2 for all periods presented.

 

  2.2. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost and adjusted to reflect the fair values of the investment properties and certain financial instruments against net income for the year. The historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration paid in exchange for assets.

The main accounting policies adopted in preparing these financial statements are summarized below. These practices are consistent with those adopted in the prior year reporting period.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the group:

 

  2.3. Investments in associate

The investments are registered under the equity method.

Associates are entities that the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not have control or joint control over those policies (see note 8).

Intercompany balances and the Company’s investments in subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests are stated separately.

Control is achieved when the Company:

 

    Has power over the investee.

 

    Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

 

    Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

12


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.6. Functional currency of the financial statements

The items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency is the Brazilian reais (R$).

 

  2.7. Foreign currency

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in foreign 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.

 

  2.8. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by available bank accounts. Short-term investments may be redeemed within 90 days and are comprised of highly-liquid securities convertible into cash, which presents an immaterial risk of change in fair value. Short-term investment balances are carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

  2.9. Restricted investments

As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the indirect subsidiary, Sierra Investimentos had investments in Financial Treasury Bills (LFTs) linked to commitments assumed with Banco Ourinvest S.A., as described in note 31. Investment balances were carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

  2.10. Financial instruments

 

  2.10.1. Recognition and measurement

Transactions with financial instruments are initially recognized at transaction value.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the financial assets and financial liabilities.

 

  2.10.2. Classification

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments have been classified into the following categories:

 

    Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading, i.e., acquired or originated primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term. Changes in fair value are accounted for in profit or loss, and balances are stated at fair value.

 

    Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company’s loans and receivables include loans to associates and subsidiaries and trade and other receivables.

 

13


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.11. Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the trade date and subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately, unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

 

  2.12. Hedge accounting

The Company designates certain hedging instruments as fair value hedges.

At the beginning of the hedging relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item with its risk management objectives and strategy to enter into different hedging transactions. Additionally, the Company documents at the inception of a hedge, and continuously, if the hedging instrument used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss together with any changes in the fair values of the hedged item, attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as of the hedged item, are recognized in “Finance income (costs)”.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company cancels the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The adjustment to the fair value of the hedged item is accounted for in profit or loss, as of the adjustment date.

 

  2.13. Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, except those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are valued using impairment indicators at the end of each annual reporting period. Impairment losses are recognized if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, with an impact on the estimated future cash flows.

The criteria used by the Company and its subsidiaries to determine if there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes:

 

    Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor

 

    A breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

 

14


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

    It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

 

    The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties

The carrying amount of the financial asset is directly reduced by any impairment loss for all financial assets, except for receivables, in which case the carrying amount is reduced through use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of previously written-off amounts are added to the allowance. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.14. Trade accounts receivable

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, according to contractual terms.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount considered sufficient by management to cover probable losses on the realization of trade accounts receivable, (100% of amounts over 120 days past due).

Past-due and renegotiated amounts are recorded at the renegotiation amounts, including principal plus financial charges, to be collected according to the new receiving period. Concurrently, an additional allowance is recorded on financial charges incurred and included in renegotiations. The allowance is registered until the payment of the renegotiated balance.

 

  2.15. Property and equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in note 9, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The residual values and the useful lives of the assets are annually reviewed and adjusted, when appropriate.

The carrying amount of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising on the recognition of property and equipment corresponds to the difference between the amounts received and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.16. Investment property

Investment properties are represented by land and buildings in shopping malls held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, as disclosed in note 10.

Investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises. Valuations were made by independent external appraisers using the cash flow model discounted at market rates. Semi-annually reviews are conducted to value any changes in the recognized balances.

 

15


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Investment property under construction is recognized at cost of construction until it is placed into service or when the Company is able to measure, reliably, the fair value of the asset.

The fair value of an investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure.

 

  2.17. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and 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 annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

  2.18. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

Items in property and equipment, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets are evaluated annually to identify evidence of unrecoverable losses or whenever significant events or material changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value is not recoverable. In the event of a loss resulting from situations where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value, which is defined as the value in use of the asset, using the discounted cash flow method, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.19. Loans, financing and debentures

Loans, financing and debentures are initially recognized at fair value, less transaction costs incurred, and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised (less transaction costs) and the settlement amount is recognized in the statement of income during the period the borrowings remain outstanding, using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that take substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets through the date they are ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

Part of the transactions carried out using debentures issued by the Company, subject to fair value hedge, are stated at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.

 

  2.20. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation and its settlement is probable.

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.

 

16


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the main provisions recognized by the Company and subsidiaries are as follows:

 

  2.20.1 Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks

Reserves recorded for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected outcome of lawsuits.

 

  2.20.2 Accrual for variable compensation

Accrual for variable compensation is recognized to cover the amounts of performance bonuses granted to some Company officers, which will only be paid three years after such bonuses are granted, provided the officers are still employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. These bonuses are adjusted through the payment date, based on the annual fluctuation of the Company’s market value, and are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income of period during the three-year period (from grant date to payment year) at the gross amount granted to these officers. A possible subsequent adjustment arising from changes in market value is recorded in the income of the period, when incurred.

 

  2.21. Revenue recognition

Revenue, costs and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Revenue from rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of rental agreements, pursuant to IAS 17 (Leases revenues, taking into account the contractual adjustment and the collection of the 13th monthly rental and revenue from services, is recognized when services are provided). Revenues from assignment of rights to tenants are allocated to income over the term of the first rental agreement.

Our revenue derives mainly from the following activities:

 

  a) Rental

Rental revenue refers to the rental of store space to tenants and other commercial space, such as sales stands, including rentals of commercial space for advertising and promotion. Rentals to shopping mall tenants account for the highest percentage of Company and its subsidiaries’ revenue.

 

  b) Parking

Parking revenue refers to revenue from the operation of parking lots.

 

  c) Services

Service revenue refers to the provision of asset and property management services to shopping mall tenants and owners and brokerage services.

The Company receives management fees from tenants for the management of the shopping mall common areas.

 

17


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Brokerage services include the sale of vacant spaces and the identification and development of relationships with prospect tenants, such as store chains to minimize a shopping mall vacancy rate. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the rent charged from a potential lessee.

 

  d) Property space (key money) lease fee

Key money refer to the lease fees payable by new tenants as consideration for the advantages and benefits received by the tenants from their right to use the infrastructure offered by the shopping malls when new projects are launched, existing projects are expanded or the store rental is discontinued.

The amount payable by new tenants is negotiated based on the market value of the rented space. Usually the new tenants pay a higher fee for stores with greater visibility and exposure in the busiest areas of the shopping mall.

 

  e) Lessee transfer fees

Revenue generated by the fees paid when the rental is transferred from a lessee to another, generally calculated as a percentage of the amount involved in the transfer.

 

  2.22. Income tax and social contribution

The operations related to the development, management and investment of shopping malls are located only in Brazil.

 

  a) Subsidiary Sonae Sierra Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil

Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax on annual taxable income exceeding R$240. Social contribution is calculated at the rate of 9% on annual taxable income. Deferred income tax and social contribution result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses (for tax and financial reporting purposes), as well as tax loss carryforwards, when the utilization against future taxable income is probable.

As permitted by tax legislation, certain consolidated subsidiaries opted for taxation based on deemed income. Tax basis of income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rate of 32% on gross revenues from services and 100% of financial income, of which regular tax rates of 15%, plus a 10% surtax for income tax and 9% for social contribution are applied. As a result, these consolidated companies did not record deferred income tax and social contribution on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences and are not subject to the noncumulative regime for taxes on revenue (Social Integration Program Tax on Revenue (PIS) and Social Security Funding Tax on Revenue (COFINS)).

Shareholders of Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II are subject to tax on income from the fund.

In the specific case of the adjustment to fair value of investment property, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 34% on such adjustments (except for the property under Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, which is tax exempt), based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

18


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  b) Company

Current taxes

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of income because of items of income or expense items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using a tax rate of 15%, that has been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred taxes

For the adjustment to fair value of investment property related to Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 15% on such adjustments, based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

  2.23. Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using net income for the year attributable to the owners of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the year.

The Company has no debt convertible into shares, stock options granted or any other potentially dilutive instrument; therefore, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share for the periods shown.

 

  2.24. New and revised standards and interpretations in 2013

Description

Amendments to IFRS 7    Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
IFRS 10    Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 11    Joint Arrangements
IFRS 12    Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 13    Fair Value Measurement
IAS 19 (revised in 2011)    Employee Benefits

The Company’s management assessed these new standards and interpretations and concluded that there was no significant impact from adopting these new standards.

 

19


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  2.25. New and revised standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted

 

    IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9 completes the first part of the project to supersede IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This new standard uses a simple approach to determine whether a financial asset is stated at amortized cost or fair value, based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and contractual cash flows underlying the financial assets. IFRS 9 also requires the adoption of only one method to determine losses on impairment of assets.

 

    Amendments to IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments Disclosures - increases the disclosure requirements for transactions involving financial assets and liabilities

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 2015

 

    Amendments to IAS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendment clarifies the meaning of “currently has a legal enforceable right to off-set” and “simultaneously realization and settlement”

 

    Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12, and IAS 27 - Investment entities - the amendment to IFRS 10 define an investment entity and requires a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements

Consequential amendments have been made to IFRS 12 and IAS 27 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.

The Company’s management assessed these new standards and interpretations and does not expect significant effects on the reported amounts.

 

  2.26. Early adoption of Provisional Measure 627/13

Subsidiary Sonae Sierra Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil

Provisional Measure 627, on November 11, 2013, and Regulatory Instruction 1397, on September 16, 2013, issued by Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, significantly changed federal tax rules. This provisional measure will be effective beginning 2015 and early adoption is permitted beginning 2014.

Management is analyzing the effects from the adoption of such provisional measure, but does not expect significant effects by adopting it and intends to do the early adoption.

 

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND MAIN ESTIMATES

In the application of the Company’s 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

20


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The following are the main judgments and accounting estimates that the Company and its subsidiaries’ management understands as relevant for the preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements:

 

  a) Investment property value: the fair value of investment property is determined by valuing the future cash flows of each property at present value, as determined by independent valuers. The Company and its subsidiaries’ management uses its judgment to choose the method and define assumptions, which are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.

 

  b) Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks: the reserve for risks is recognized for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, and the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected final outcome of lawsuits.

 

  c) Projections prepared for the realization of deferred income tax and social contribution balances: based on analyses of the multi-year operating projections, the Company recognized tax credits related to prior year tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Maintenance of tax credits from tax loss carryforwards, deferred income tax and social contribution tax loss carryforwards is supported by future earnings projections prepared by the Company’s management and periodically reviewed, for the next ten years, to determine the recoverability of tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Fair value measurement methodology

The fair value of each investment property in operation and in construction was determined based on a valuation reported at the time, prepared by an independent external appraiser (Cushman & Wakefield) and reviewed by management.

 

30


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The valuation of these investment properties was prepared in accordance with the practice statements of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual, published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“Red Book”), based in the United Kingdom.

The methodology adopted to calculate the market value (fair value) of an investment property in operation involves developing ten-year projections of gains and losses for each shopping mall, added to the residual value, which corresponds to a perpetuity calculated based on the net earnings of the 11th year and a market yield rate (exit yield or cap rate). For the calculation of the perpetuity, the Company considered a real growth rate of 0.0%. These projections are discounted at the measurement date using a market discount rate.

The projections are not forecasted, but simply reflect the best estimate of the appraiser regarding the current view of the market with respect to the future revenue and cost of each property. The yield rate and the discount rate are set according to the local investment and institutional market and the reasonableness of the market value obtained according to the methodology above, equally tested in terms of the initial yield rate obtained based on net yield estimated for the first year of the projections.

In the valuation of the investment properties, some assumptions classified by the Red Book as “special” were considered. These assumptions relate mainly to recently opened shopping malls, where investment expenses not yet paid were not included, as such amounts are recognized in the financial statements.

The period for measurement at fair value is on semi-annual basis.

The assumptions used as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, for the measurement at fair value described above, are as follows:

 

12/31/13     12/31/12  

Ten-year discount rate

Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

On February 15, 2012, the Company issued 30,000 nonconvertible debentures, in two series, with a par value of R$10 each, totaling R$300,000. After the book-building procedure carried out on March 2, 2012, which defined the debenture interest, the series can be summarized as follows:

 

    1st series: 9,550 debentures, in the total amount of R$95,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to CDI plus 0.96%, with final maturity within five years. Compensation will be paid semiannually.

 

    2nd series: 20,450 debentures, in the total amount of R$204,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to consumer price index (IPCA) plus 6.25%, with final maturity within seven years. Compensation will be paid annually.

As described in note 27.3, on August 22, 2013, the Company contracted a derivative instrument (swap) in the notional amount of R$54,500, to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to the interest of the 2nd series of debentures. In this transaction, the Company replaced the IPCA + 6.25% per year by the CDI +1.24% per year.

The swap agreement expires within six years and matures on February 15, 2019. This maturity date is the same as the hedged instrument.

This transaction is intended to adjust the Company’s indebtedness, including the change from variable IPCA rate to the CDI. Although both rates are variable, the CDI currently reflects the primary compensation index of the Company’s financial assets and, therefore, is more appropriate to manage financial instruments.

Changes in debentures, recorded in current and noncurrent liabilities, are broken down as follows:

  (a) Labor and social security

As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries whose contingency in the amount of R$1,210 (R$1,197 as of December 31, 2012) was assessed as a probable loss by the legal counsel.

For the social security risks, as of December 31, 2013, the Company maintained a reserve of R$2,267 (R$2,994 as of December 31, 2012) according to the legal counsel’s opinion, which estimated that the likelihood of loss on these lawsuits is probable.

 

  (b) Tax

IRRF, CIDE, CPMF and CADE

The Company is claiming the suspension of the payment of IRRF, economic intervention contribution (CIDE) and tax on banking transaction (CPMF) on payments made abroad. The historical amounts of such lawsuits correspond to the total amount of R$3,344 (R$3,187 as of December 31, 2012), which are deposited in escrow and accrued, since the likelihood of loss on these lawsuits is probable.

The CIDE and IRRF lawsuits had an unfavorable decision to the Company on appellate court and await ruling at special appeal.

There was a final and unappealable decision on the lawsuit challenging the CPMF levied an unfavorable decision of foreign payments to subsidiary Sierra Investimentos. This decision will not require disbursements since the court costs have already been paid and the subsidiary was not sentenced to pay attorney’s fees to the prevailing party arising from the injunction. Presently, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos awaits the settlement of the escrow deposit, which amounts to R$1,278, in order to write off the tax credit.

Additionally, Sierra Investimentos recognizes a reserve for contingencies and made an escrow deposit of R$410, corresponding to the administrative fine imposed by the CADE (Brazilian antitrust agency). As of December 31, 2012, this lawsuit had already obtained a final and un-appealable decision. Presently, Sierra Investimentos is awaiting the withdrawal of the escrow deposits made by the CADE to settle the fine, with no impact on net income.

 

  (c) Civil

The Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in several lawsuits arising from their regular business activities, especially involving compensation, contract termination and shopping mall rental renewal and revision lawsuits.

The Company’s subsidiaries are plaintiffs in lawsuits mostly related to evictions (due to default and contractual breaches), executions and collections.

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company and its subsidiaries conduct transactions involving financial instruments, all of which are recorded in balance sheet accounts, which are intended to meet their operating and financial needs.

These financial instruments are managed based on policies, definition of strategies and establishment of control systems, which are duly monitored by the management of the Company and its subsidiaries, with a view to maximize shareholder value and achieve a balance between debt and equity capital.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ main financial instruments are represented by:

 

  a) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted investments and escrow deposits: are classified as loans and receivable and their carrying amount is equivalent to the assets’ fair value

 

  b) Trade accounts receivable and loans to condominiums: are classified as loans and receivables and recorded at the contracted amounts, which approximate market

 

  c) Loans and financing: are classified as other financial liabilities and the fair value is determined using generally accepted pricing models based on analyses of discounted cash flows

 

  d) Debentures: are classified as other financial liabilities (part of the debentures issued by the Company, subject to fair value hedge, is stated at fair value)

 

  e) Domestic trade accounts payables: are classified as other financial liabilities and recorded at the contracted amounts, which approximate market

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments are as follows:

   Fair value through profit and loss      Level 2         1,828         1,828         —           —     

The measurement of financial instruments is grouped into levels 1 to 3, based on the fair value hierarchy:

 

    Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

    Level 2 - other techniques according to which all inputs with significant effects on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 category above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.

 

    Level 3 - techniques that use inputs with significant effects on fair value not based on observable market inputs.

According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the Company’s judgment is important to the risk assessment. Thus, risks may exist with or without guarantees depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. The main market risk factors that may affect the Company’s business are as follows:

 

  27.1. Credit risk

The Company has a large customer base and constantly monitors trade receivables using internal controls, which limit the risk of default. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in an amount considered by management as sufficient to cover probable losses on the collection of receivables, based on the following criterion: allowance of 100% for receivables past due over 120 days.

The credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents is limited as the counterparties are represented by banks, with a high rating assigned by international credit rating agencies.

 

51


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  27.2. Price fluctuation risk

The Company’s revenue consists of rentals received from shopping mall tenants. In general, rentals are adjusted based on the annual fluctuation of IPCA, as provided in the lease agreements. The rental levels may vary according to adverse economic conditions and, consequently, the revenue level may be affected. Management monitors these risks in order to minimize impacts on its business.

 

  27.3. Interest rate risk

Results from the portion of debt contracted with interest linked to the CDI, TR and IPCA and involves the risk of increase in financial expenses as a result of unfavorable rates.

The Company contracted non-speculative derivatives (swap) to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to interest of the 2nd series of debentures, as follows:

The aforementioned swap transaction was designated by the Company as a fair value hedge accounting transaction. The fair value of debentures, which is the subject matter of the swap transaction, corresponds to a gain of R$1,982 (see notes 13 and 23).

 

  27.4. Currency risk

Trade receivables and trade payables are denominated in Brazilian reais and are not exposed to exchange fluctuations.

 

  27.5. Capital risk

The Company and its subsidiaries manage their capital to ensure regular business continuity and, at the same time, maximize return for all stakeholders or parties involved in their operations, by optimizing debt and equity balance.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ equity structure consists of loans and financing and debentures detailed in notes 12 and 13, less cash and cash equivalents, and consolidated shareholders’ equity (including capital, reserves and non-controlling interests, as mentioned in note 19).

 

  27.6. Liquidity risk management

The Company and its subsidiaries manage the liquidity risk by maintaining proper reserves, bank and other credit facilities to raise new borrowings that they consider appropriate, based on the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows, and the combination of the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk and interest tables

The tables below detail the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities and the contractual payment periods. These tables were prepared in accordance with undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, based on the closest date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the corresponding obligations. The tables include interest and principal cash flows. As interest flows are based on floating rates, the undiscounted amount was based on the interest curves at year-end. Contractual maturity is based on the most recent date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the related obligations.

Sensitivity analysis on financial instruments

Considering the financial instrument previously described, the Company and its subsidiaries have developed a sensitivity analysis based on 25% and 50% fluctuations in the risk variable taken into consideration. These scenarios may impact the Company and its subsidiaries’ net income and/or future cash flows, as described below:

 

    Base scenario: maintenance of interest in the same levels as those as of December 31, 2013.

 

    Adverse scenario: a 25% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

 

    Remote scenario: a 50% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

Assumptions

As described above, the Company believes that it is mainly exposed to the risks of fluctuation of the CDI, TR and IPCA, which is the basis to adjust a substantial portion of short-term investments and loans and financing. Accordingly, the table below shows the indices and rates used to prepare the sensitivity analysis:

31. COMMITMENTS

With the enactment of Law 12024, dated August 27, 2009, which describes the tax treatment applicable to income earned by real estate investment funds, the administrator of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário I, Banco Ourinvest S.A., stopped retaining IRRF on income paid to a certain shareholder headquartered in Brazil. In view of the inquiry made by Banco Ourinvest S.A., to the Federal Revenue Service on the content and scope of this law, Sierra Investimentos committed to an agreement entered into with this bank, dated October 29, 2009, to make a short - term investment under custody to cover a possible collection of the tax that is not being withheld. At the same date, Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL (a Luxembourg company belonging to the same corporate group of the Company) and Sierra Investimentos, entered into an agreement under which Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL agrees to reimburse Sierra Investimentos for any type of risk arising from the nonpayment of tax by Banco Ourinvest S.A.

As of May 13, 2010, the federal government filed an appeal against the federal lower court decision. On June 11, 2010, Banco Ourinvest S.A. filed its counter-arguments and currently awaits the appellate court decision.

As of December 31, 2013, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has R$833 receivable from Banco Ourinvest S.A., as a result of the agreement entered into on October 29, 2009. These receivables are classified in line item “Other receivables”, in noncurrent assets (see note 5). In addition, the subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has a balance of R$6,124 (R$4,065 as of December 31, 2012) in restricted investments, stated in noncurrent assets.

Summary of main differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS:

 

  (a) Investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

  (b) Interest capitalized on investment property under construction

Under IFRS, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is offset against the actual borrowing costs to be capitalized.

Under U.S. GAAP, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is not generally deducted from the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized.

 

  (c) Write-off of prepaid commission expenses

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded costs on commissions paid on store rentals as prepaid expenses, which are amortized over a five-year period taking into account the start and the termination of the lease agreements.

Under IFRS, these expenses and costs do not meet the definition of an asset; therefore, were recognized as operating costs when incurred.

 

  (d) Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.

The associate Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda. also prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and, as such, applies the policies described in items (a) and (b) above related to adjustment of the fair value of investment property. This amount represents the impact of these two adjustments in consolidated net income arising from the equity method valuation.

 

57


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

  (e) Deferred income taxes

The deferred income taxes reconciling item represents the tax effect of all the GAAP adjustments discussed in the reconciliation table above.

 

  (f) Gain on sales of investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs less accumulated depreciation.

Therefore, the GAAP adjustment corresponds to the different results obtained by assets measured at fair value in IFRS and assets measured at cost of acquisition, deducted from accumulated depreciation in U.S. GAAP.
