NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES APPLIED

a) Accounting period

The consolidated financial statements cover the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

b) Preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile and the instructions of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. In the event of differences between the two, the instructions of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance prevail.

c) Presentation

These financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The figures for the previous year are not therefore restated for comparison purposes.

Certain reclassifications have been made in 2004 for a better interpretation of these financial statements.

d) Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements comprise the assets, liabilities, results and cash flows at each year-end of the Parent company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The effects of transactions and unrealized results between the consolidated companies have been eliminated and the participation of the minority investors has been recognized as Minority Interest.

e) Price-Level Restatements

The indirect subsidiaries that maintain their books in pesos have restated their financial statements to reflect the effects of variations in the purchasing power of the local currency during each year. For this, it has applied current principles that state that non-monetary assets and liabilities should be restated against income. The restatement rate used was the Consumer Price Index as published by the National Institute of Statistics, with a one-month time lag, which showed a change of 3.6% in 2005 (2.5% in 2004).

f) Currency translation

The Parent company and its direct subsidiaries are authorized to keep their accounts in United States dollars. The dollar is used as the common unit of account so the balances of assets and liabilities in different currencies have been expressed in US dollars at the exchange rates at the end of each year. Exchange differences are charged/credited to income.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the principal exchange rates against the US dollar were:

 
    2005    2004 
    per US dollar    per US dollar

g) Time deposits and Marketable securities

Time deposits are shown at their investment value plus indexation adjustments and accrued interest to the end of the year. Marketable securities relate to investments in mutual funds units shown at their respective redemption values at the year-end.

h) Inventories

• Products being processed and finished products are shown at their production cost, under the cost-by-absorp-tion method. 
 
• Forests are shown at the forestry appraisal value of the plantations that are expected to be harvested during the following year. 
 
• Wood pieces, pulp wood and native wood are shown at average production cost or at cost, as the case may be. 
 
• Materials, spares, supplies, etc at their average cost acquisition. 
 
• Imports in transit at cost acquisition. 

The value of the inventories does not exceed their net estimated realization or replacement value, as the case may be.

It is the Company’s policy to make allowances for the obsolescence of materials and spares and for the reduced value of finished products when they show certain aspects like:

• Replacement of old machinery or spares for unused machines. 
 
• Little alternative use of materials or spares with a low stock turnover. 
 
• Possible loss of commercial value of finished products due to deterioration in lengthy storage, 

as compared to the standards demanded by the market.

i) Estimate of doubtful accounts

The Company’s policy is to make allowances for all accounts in judicial recovery and specific allowances for accounts outstanding.

j) Fixed Assets

FOREST PLANTATIONS

Forest plantations are valued in accordance with the technical appraisal made by forestry engineers. Any incremental value so determined over the book value, that includes the financing cost during the growth period, has been credited to Forest reserve in Shareholders’ equity. The appraisal values have been determined on the basis of a formation cost value for young plantations and the estimated commercial value of standing timber for adult plantations.

The harvesting age for establishing these criteria depends on the natural growth rates of plantations in each country.

Plantations expected to be harvested during the following year, based on a production plan, are shown in Inventories in Current assets.

Fixed assets, excluding plantations

Fixed assets are shown at their cost of acquisition or construction or at their technical appraisal value, as the case may be, which includes financing costs during the construction period and the principal renovations or improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to income in the year in which they are incurred.

Relatively expensive spares are depreciated over the expected useful lives of the associated principal assets, while those that are consumed periodically are charged to production costs as soon as they are utilized.

Fixed assts that are temporally not in use at the year-end have been shown in other fixed assets.

Unused fixed assets that are disposable have been classified in other assets and are shown at their estimated realization value.

ANNUAL REPORT 2005 MASISA | 83


TECHNICAL APPRAISAL

The technical appraisals were made in the form and periods set out in Circulars 1529, 1571 and 428 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance. No other technical appraisals have been booked.

k) Depreciation of fixed assets

Fixed assets, excluding the plantations, are depreciated under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

l) Leased assets

Assets acquired under financial leases are shown at the present value of the agreement, after discounting the value of the periodic installments and the purchase option at the interest rate implicit or explicit in the respective agreement. The respective obligation is shown in its short and long-term portions, net of non-accrued interest. These assets are not legally owned by the company until it has exercised its respective purchase option and meanwhile the company may not freely dispose of them. They are shown in other fixed assets.

m) Intangible assets

The Company’s intangible assets, mainly water rights, are shown at their cost and are being amortized over a period of 40 years, as established in Technical Bulletin 55 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants.

n) Investments in related companies

Investments in unconsolidated related companies are shown at their proportional equity value, determined on the basis of their respective financial statements at the end of each year.

Foreign investments are adjusted to accounting principles generally accepted in Chile and translated to the company’s functional currency, as required by Technical Bulletin 64 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants.

Investments in indirect Chilean related companies that maintain their accounts in Chilean pesos are controlled in that currency and expressed in US dollars at the end of each year. Valuation differences due to translation to dollars not arising from the business are adjusted through

the equity account Reserve for Translation Difference in Other reserves.

ñ) Goodwill and negative goodwill

This represents the difference between the acquisition cost and proportional equity value of the investment at the time of purchase. These differences are amortized over the term indicated in the Note - Goodwill and negative goodwill.

o) Financial transactions under resale agreements

Purchases of securities under resale agreements are shown at their present value calculated using the discount rate used for determining the price of each instrument at the time of its acquisition, and are shown in Current assets under Other assets.

p) Bonds payable

These relate to the placement of bonds in Chile by the Company and its foreign subsidiary Masisa Overseas Ltd. These are valued at their initial face value plus indexation and interest accrued to the end of the year. The difference between the initial face value and the placement value is shown as a deferred asset which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the obligation.

q) Income tax and deferred taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries have recognized for income tax in accordance with current tax legislation

The effects of deferred taxes resulting from timing differences between the financial and tax balance sheet are shown taking into account the tax rate current at the estimated time of reversal, as established in Technical Bulletin 60 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants. The effects of deferred taxes at the time of the implementation of that bulletin (January 2000) and not previously recognized, have been deferred and are being amortized against income over the estimated term for the reversal of the item originating the timing difference.

The Forest Reserve is shown net of deferred taxes, in accordance with Technical Bulletin 69 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants.

84 | ANNUAL REPORT 2005 MASISA


r) Severance payments

Sales are recorded at the time of the transfer of the goods or provision of services and relate to sales of products made by the Company and third parties. Sales prices are determined by conditions in the destination markets and are shown net of related taxes, price discounts and other things that directly affect their determination.

t) Derivative contracts

The Company has interest rate and currency swap contracts with financial institutions. These were defined as hedging of forecasted transactions and are shown as established in Technical Bulletin 57 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants.

The fair value of these instruments has been shown in other assets or other liabilities depending on whether they are receivable from or payable to the respective financial institution.

The gains corresponding to outstanding contracts of existing items have been shown in other liabilities and the results realized have been taken to financial expenses or Exchange differences, depending on the nature of the swap hedge.

In those cases where it is confirmed that the hedge taken was ineffective, the contracts have been treated as investment instruments.

u) Computer software

The software currently used by the company was acquired from SAP Chile S.A. and consists of the SAP R/3 system, version 4.6 C, which is being amortized over 4 years.

v) Research and developments costs

Research and development costs are charged to income in the year in which they are incurred. The Company has made no significant disbursements in this respect since its creation.

w) Statement of cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be its low-risk, short-term investments made as part of its normal cash management and which can be quickly converted into known amounts of cash, with the intention to make such conversion within 90 days.

Cash flows from operating activities include all such cash flows related to the Company’s business, including interest paid and received, dividends received and in general all those flows that are not otherwise defined as related to investment or financing. The operating concept used in this statement is broader than that used in the Statement of income.

x) Share issue costs

In accordance with the instructions given in Circular 1370 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and its later modification (Circular 1736), share issue and placement costs were shown in an account called “Share issue and placement costs”, deducted from Reserves in Shareholders’ equity.

b) Deferred taxes

As required by Technical Bulletins 60, 68, 69 and 71 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and Circular 1,466 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, the Company showed deferred taxes arising from timing differences, tax losses and other events that create differences between the accounting and tax treatment of assets and liabilities, shown in the following table.

The table also shows the charges or credits to income for each year for deferred taxes and income tax.

As a result of the merger in 2003 and as the companies absorbed (Andinos S.A., Sociedad Forestal Millalemu S.A. and Forestal Terranova S.A.) recorded un-distributed taxed earnings in previous years, a right arose to recover proportionately the tax paid on those earnings, which are absorbed by the Company’s current accumulated tax losses.

Based on the above, the amount shown for this concept at December 31, 2005 is ThUS$ 15,158 (ThUS$ 11,681 in 2004) and is shown in Recoverable taxes.

The book value includes the forest appraisals made by forestry engineers. This value is distributed among plantations under the heading of Fixed assets and standing timber classified as Inventories.

The Company and its subsidiaries in the forestry business have shown at the end of each year the incremental value of their forests and plantations, which is included in Forest plantations and credited to Forest reserve in Shareholders’ equity. This has been calculated by comparison with the valuation described in Note 2 j).

The increased value of fixed assets due to the real financing costs related to the plantations, as indicated in Note 2, amounted to ThUS$5,182 at December 31, 2005 (ThUS$4,363 in 2004). There was also a capitalization of exchange differences of ThUS$1,275 (ThUS$1,546 in 2004).

NOTE 12: GOODWILL AND NEGATIVE GOODWILL

Goodwill

The purchase of the subsidiary Masisa Cabrero S.A., ex-Fi-branova S.A., by the former Masisa S.A. generated goodwill which it is intended to amortize over a period of 20 years, taking into account the expected return of that subsidiary.

Negative goodwill

The purchase of 43.16% of the former Masisa S.A. by Forestal Terranova S.A. (company merged with the former Te-rranova S.A.) in July 2002 and of 0.544% in June 2003, generated a negative goodwill for the Company which it is intended to amortize over 15 years, taking into account that the assets of that company are mainly industrial and have an average useful life similar to that period.

The purchase by Forestal Terranova S.A. (company merged with the former Terranova S.A.) in October 2003 of 40.00% of Terranova S.A. generated a negative goodwill which it is intended to amortize over 20 years.

The participation of the former Masisa S.A. in the capital increase of June 27, 2002 of Forestal Tornagaleones S.A., generated a negative goodwill which it is intended to amortize over 20 years.

On November 15, 2005, Masisa S.A. bought 9,987,400 shares, equivalent to 34.35% of Forestal Tornagaleones S.A., generating a negative goodwill that it is intended to amortize over the remaining period of 20 years originally set.

(1) In May 1997, the subsidiary Terranova de Venezue-la S.A. prepaid the lease of a CVG-Proforca sawmill for US$ 10 million in order to enter the forestry business in Venezuela. As the lease of that sawmill was essential in the negotiation of the sale contract for 59,000 hectares of Caribbean-pine timber plantations and for entering the Venezuelan forestry business, the Company’s management classified the prepaid rental as a Forest exploitation right. This is being amortized based on the cubic meters (M3) of forestry product obtained from the forests of Terranova de Venezuela S.A. over 20 years (starting 1997), estimated at 13,168,000 M3.

Exploitation rights of Coforven S.A.:

During the year ended December 31, 2000, Terranova de Venezuela S.A. acquired from its subsidiary Coforven S.A. exploitation rights to 236,000 M3 of timber annually and a sawmill for ThUS$ 3,324. The exploitation rights are being amortized as a function of the volume of forestry products that the forests produce for supplying the plants. The accounting balance of goodwill relating to the investment in Coforven S.A. amounted to ThUS$987 at the time of purchase, which was included as part of the cost of the exploitation right, as Terranova de Venezuela S.A. is acquiring a significant part of the productive assets of Coforven S.A. The value of the assets and exploitation rights was transferred at reasonable market values and unrealized income was eliminated.

c) Other Reserves comprises the following:

Forest Reserve:

The forest reserve amounts to ThUS$174,848 (ThUS$130,156 in 2004), corresponding to the difference between the appraisal value of the forest plantations and their respective historic cost, which includes the real cost of financing. The forest reserve is shown net of deferred tax, in accordance with Technical Bulletins 60 and 69 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants.

The Company has appealed against the terms of Resolution 203 in accordance with the procedure set out in clause 123 onward of the Tax Code. Based on the information in the Company’s possession, the opinion of its legal advisers and administrative jurisprudence of the Internal Tax Service, which affects the terms of Resolution 203, it is believed that the probability is remote that the definitive sentence in the appeal process would unfavorably affect the concept of deferred tax, recoverable taxes and tax losses of U$39.2 million booked by the Company.

On January 12, 2006, the Chief Executive Officer reported as material information that, with respect to the two lines of bonds inscribed in the Securities Register of the Superintendency under numbers 439 and 440, on November 14 and 15, 2005, respectively:

1.- Against Line No.439, bonds were placed for UF 2,750,000 of the Series E, with a term of 21 years with 1 year’s grace and an interest rate of 4.79% per annum.

2.- Against Line No.440, bonds were placed for UF 2,000,000 of the Series D, with a term of 7 years with 2 year’s grace and an interest rate of 4.59% per annum.

The proceeds of these placements will be used to repay financial debt of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. In fact, the Series A and B bonds issued by the former Terranova S.A. were prepaid on January 23, 2006 for a total amount of UF 4,500,000.

The Company is unaware of any other subsequent significant events occurring between December 31, 2005 and the date of issue of these financial statements that might affect the financial position of the Company.

REASONED ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 2005 (thousands of US$)

A. Comparative analysis of the principal trends noted:

    2005    2004 
    Jan-Dec    Jan-Dec 
Liquidity Ratios         
-------------------         
Current Ratio    1.11    2.03 
Acid Test    0.03    0.06 

The negative change in the current ratio compared to December 2004 is due to the increase in short-term financial debt (transfers from long-term debt), principally resulting from the current portion due on bonds Series A1, A2 and B that were redeemed in December 2005 and prepaid in January 2006. On the other hand, the increase in cash and equivalents explains the improvement in the acid test ratio at December 2005.

    2005    2004 
     Jan-Dec     Jan-Dec 
Debt Ratios         
-----------         
Debt Ratio (times)   0.72    0.96 
Short-term Debt / Total Debt    58.77%    30.39% 
Long-Term Debt / Total Debt    41.23%    69.61% 
Financial Expense Coverage (times)   1.80    3.05 

The debt ratio is lower than at December 2004 as a result of the capital increase following the merger of Masisa S.A. with Terranova S.A., while the proportion of short-term to total debt increased for the reasons explained in the previous paragraph.

The reduction in the financial expense coverage is basically due to the decline in the result for the year due to, among other things, a gain on the sale of forestry assets in December 2004.

    2005    2004 
    Jan-Dec    Jan-Dec 
Activity         
--------------------         
1.Total Assets    1,965,921    1,885,015 
Investments during the year         
- in Fixed Assets    67,289    42,362 
Disposals:         
- Sales of Fixed Assets    2,193    77,707 
2.Inventory Turnover    2.47    2.35 
3.Permanence of Inventories    145.75    153.15 
4.Accounts Payable Turnover    11.22    8.38 
5.Permanence of Accounts Payable    32.09    42.95 
6.Accounts Receivable Turnover    3.71    3.01 
7.Permanence of Accounts Receivable    96.96    119.59 

Both turnover and permanence showed improvements during the year.


         2005     2004 
    Jan-Dec     Jan-Dec 
Results Ratios         
---------------------         
Sales    743,993     651,000 
- Domestic Market    683,331     528,988 
- External Market    60,662     122,012 
Cost of Sales    (549,501)   (461,778)
- Domestic Market    (524,551)   (382,672)
- External Market    (24,950)    (79,106)
Operating Income    81,898    95,117 
Financial Expenses    (38,756)    (39,294)
Non-Operating Result    (50,986)    (14,535)
EBITDA    122,285     170,094 
Net income after tax    22,981    53,453 

The Company’s sales in 2005 amounted to US$744.0 million, an increase of approximately 14.3% over the previous year.

Operating income was US$81.9 million, a decline of 13.9% from the year before.

The non-operating result was -US$51.0 million, which compares negatively with -US$14.5 million in 2004. This is partly explained by exchange differences of -US$10.4 million in 2005, compared to -US$3.2 million the year before. These differences were produced in both years by the effect of changes in the exchange rate on the Company’s debt in UF.

Net income for 2005 was US$ 26.4 million, compared to US$ 56.8 million in 2004. These figures are not directly comparable because of the change in the level of the minority interest brought about by the merger of the old Masisa S.A. and Terranova S.A. in May 2005.

The consumption of own raw material in the two years was as follows:

    2005    2004 
    Jan-Dec    Jan-Dec 
Consumption of Own Raw Material:         
Argentina    2,837    2,532 
Brazil    7,278    5,536 
Chile    10,335    10,213 
Venezuela    4,157    3,805 
    --------    ------- 
TOTAL    24,607    22,086 
    ========    ======= 

    2005    2004 
    Jan-Dec    Jan-Dec 
Profitability         
-----------------------         
1.Return on Equity    2.85%    7.34% 
2.Return on Assets    1.40%    3.04% 
3.Return on Operating Assets    4.13%    5.06% 
4.Earnings per Share (dollars)   0.0048    0.0145 
5.Dividend Yield    2.79%    0.00% 

The return on equity shows a slight fall, explained by the greater equity following the Masisa - Terranova merger and a similar net income for both years.

Earnings per share for the two years are not directly comparable because of the changes in the number of shares resulting from the merger on May 31, 2005.


B.- Principal components and analysis of net cash flow

     2005     2004 
Jan-Dec Jan-Dec         
Net positive flow from operating activities    103.762    49.824 
- Collection of trade accounts receivable    879,940    733,997 
- Payments to Suppliers and Personnel    (748,178)   (650,495)
- Others    (28,000)   (33,678)
Net cash flow from financing activities    36,610    (86,176)
- Loans drawn    125,121    138,894 
- Loans repaid    (82,901)   (211,874)
- Others    (5,610)   (13,196)
Net cash flow from investment activities    (101,044)   60,296 
- Sales of fixed assets    2,193    77,707 
- Acquisition of fixed assets    (73,166)   (46,065)
- Others    (30,071)   28,654 
Net total cash flow for the year    39,328    23,944 
Effect of inflation     -    ( 29)
Opening balance of cash & cash equivalents    58,530    34,615 
Closing balance of cash & cash equivalents    97,858    58,530 

There was an important increase in the collection of trade accounts receivable, mainly due to increased sales and a reduction in the permanence of receivables. There was also an increase in payments to suppliers caused by the greater activity. Other income received relates to VAT refunds on exports.

C. Book and economic value of the assets and liabilities

The Company’s principal assets are its production plants in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, United States and Mexico, and its forest plantations in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, all of which are valued according to generally accepted accounting principles. Studies regularly made by the Company of the economic value of its production plants show that these cover their book values.

D. Most relevant changes occurring during the year

The Company carries out its business in various markets, principally in Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico and United States. Both the Company’s sales and financial results are therefore exposed to each market’s conditions. The following table shows the distribution of consolidated sales, by end market.

     2005     2004 
     Jan-Dec     Jan-Dec 
USA     28.0%     29.4% 
Chile     16.5%     16.8% 
Mexico     15.0%     15.9% 
Brazil     14.0%     14.1% 
Venezuela    8.3%    6.0% 
Argentina    7.6%    6.7% 
Others     10.6%     11.1% 
     -------     ------- 
Total    100.0%    100.0% 

The table shows that shares of sales have been maintained or slightly declined in the markets of the United States, Chile, Mexico and Brazil, with slight increases in Venezuela and Argentina as a result of the greater activity in those countries.


In recent years, Masisa S.A. has increased the diversification of market risk by expanding its productive and commercial operations to other countries. It now has plants in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, United States and Mexico, plus its own commercial operations in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, and exports to many countries in the Americas, Asia and Europe. The Company is therefore not exposed to any particular market risk.

The Company also faces potential increased competition or the appearance of new competitors in the boards, wood and forestry products markets. Masisa S.A. believes it has solid positions in each of the markets in which it participates directly which provide it with profitable and growing businesses. But the Company cannot be sure that these conditions will not change in the future through the entry of new competitors or the intensification of competition in its markets. To mitigate these risks, the Company focuses its efforts on actions for maintaining its leadership in costs and a strong distribution chain, constantly improving the supply of products and obtaining brand recognition, among others.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations against its functional currency (US dollar) on both its assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in non-dollar currencies are mainly due to the Company’s businesses in its domestic markets, domestic sales, investments in assets bought on the local market and local financing. Balances in currencies other than the dollar and/or denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in the years analyzed were as follows:

Summary of assets and liabilities in currency other than the dollar
(expressed in thousands of US dollars)

     2005     2004 
     Jan-Dec     Jan-Dec 
Assets     189,113     163,975 
Liabilities     407,689     471,363 
Position (liability)   (218,576)   (307,388)

Based on the market conditions, the Company’s management sets policies for obtaining loans, investing in deposits and marketable securities under resale agreements and the use of derivative instruments. Depending on the amounts, the board also approves these transactions prior to carrying them out. New long-term debt for financing new investments or refinancing existing debt have to be approved by the Company’s board. In the countries where Masisa S.A. operates, the local management can arrange short-term loans for their working capital needs in the ordinary course of business.

E.- Risk Factors

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is faced by various risks, market, financial and operations, among others.

Financial and exchange rate risks:

The Company’s management sets policies for managing financial risk through the use of derivative instruments like swaps, forwards, options or futures contracts, in order to hedge both exchange and interest rate fluctuation risks.

The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Operational risk:

Masisa S.A. faces raw material supply risks, especially of chemical resins and wood that are essential elements for making its products. To mitigate this, the Company has long-term agreements with chemical resin suppliers. In addition to the forests and plantations the Company owns directly in Chile, Brazil and Venezuela, it is also the principal shareholder in Forestal Tornagaleones S.A. which has plantations in Chile and Argentina.

It also follows a policy of diversifying its supplies of wood residues to reduce its dependence on individual suppliers.

The Company also faces the risk of damage to its plants, the loss of its warehouses, damages to third parties legal contingencies, commercial and other risks. The Company’s management tries to identify these risks in order to avoid their possible occurrence, reduce their potential adverse effects and/or obtain insurance cover for eventual losses in these circumstances.
