Independent Auditors’ Report

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes


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, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statement, 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, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with IFRS as issued by IASB.

Accounting practices in conformity with IFRS as issued by IASB, vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted 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.

12


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

  2.8. Cash and cash equivalents

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

 

  2.9. Restricted investments

As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company 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 the 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’s and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments have been classified into the following category:

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They 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.

 

  2.11. 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.

 

13


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 that 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.

 

  2.12. Trade accounts receivables

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 receivables, under the following criterion: allowance for 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.

 

  2.13. Property and equipment

Carried at cost of purchase, deducted from 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 an item 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 a property and equipment item corresponds to the difference between the amounts received and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.14. Investment property

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 are 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. Semiannually, reviews are conducted to value any changes in the recognized balances.

 

14


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 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.

 

  2.15. 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.

 

  2.16. 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.

 

  2.17. 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.

 

  2.18. 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.

 

15


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the main provisions recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries are as follows:

 

  2.18.1. Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks

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 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.

 

  2.18.2. Accrual for variable compensation

Recognized to cover the amounts of performance bonuses granted to some Company officers and which will only be paid three years after such bonuses are granted, providing the officers are still employees of the Company and of 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.

 

  2.19. 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, 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

Refers to the rental of store space to tenants and other commercial space, such as sales stands. Includes rental of commercial space for advertising and promotion. Rentals to shopping malls’ tenants accounts for the highest percentage of Company’s and its subsidiaries’ revenue.

 

  b) Parking

Refers to revenue from the operation of parking lots.

 

  c) Services

Refer to the provision of asset and property management services to shopping malls’ tenants and owners, and brokerage services.

The subsidiary Unishopping Administradora receives management fees from tenants from the management of the shopping malls’ common areas.

 

16


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, in each case to minimize a shopping mall vacancy rate. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the rental charged from a potential lessee.

 

  d) Property space (key money) lease fee

Refers to the lease fees payable by new tenants as consideration for the advantages and benefits obtained 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.

 

  2.20. 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, and tax loss carryforwards when their utilization against future taxable income is probable.

As permitted by tax legislation, certain consolidated subsidiaries opted for taxation based on deemed income. Tax bases of income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rate of 32% on gross revenues from services and 100% of financial income, on 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.

When applicable, the deferred income tax and social contribution calculated on adjustments arising from the adoption of the new accounting policies introduced by IFRS were recorded in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial statements.

 

17


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

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) was recognized at the rate of 34% on such adjustments (except for the property under Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, which are tax exempt), based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain be determined.

 

  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 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 tax rate (15%) that have 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) was recognized at the rate of 15% on such adjustments, based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain be determined.

 

  2.21. 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 are equal to basic earnings per share.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

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.

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’s Management understands as relevant for the preparation of consolidated financial statements:

 

  a) Investment property value: the fair value of investment property is determined by valuating the cash flows of each property at present value, as determined by independent valuers. The Company’s 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: as described in Note 2.18.1, 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 multiyear 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 the Management.

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 investment property in operation involves developing making related to 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, it was 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 duly recognized in the financial statements.

The fair value of the investment properties in construction, measured at fair value at this date, is obtained by discounting the fair value of the property at the opening date, calculated using the methodology described above, and the investment necessary to complete the construction is weighted by a risk rate set by the appraiser for the property being valued.

Beginning January 1, 2012, in order to reduce operating costs, the Company reviewed its accounting policy for recognizing investment properties at fair value. Consequently, the period for measurement at fair value was changed from quarterly basis to semiannual basis.

The assumptions used for the measurement at fair value described above are as follows:

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company and its subsidiaries conduct transactions involving financial instruments, all of which 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’s and its subsidiaries’ main financial instruments are represented by:

 

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

 

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

 

  c) Loans and financing and debentures: They 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) Domestic trade accounts payables: They are classified as other financial liabilities and recorded at the contracted amounts, which approximate market.

Measurement of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is as follows:

 

  a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities presenting standard terms and conditions and that are traded in active markets is determined based on prices observable in such markets

 

  b) The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (other than those described above) are determined using generally accepted pricing models based on analyses of discounted cash flows.

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.

 

46


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

27.2. Price fluctuation risk

The Company’s revenue consists basically of rentals received from shopping malls’ tenants. In general, rentals are adjusted based on the annual fluctuation of consumer price index (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.

 

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’s and its subsidiaries’ equity structure consists of net debt (loans and financing and debentures detailed in note 12 and 13, less cash and cash equivalents) and consolidated shareholders’ equity (including capital, reserves and noncontrolling interests, as mentioned in note 19).

Indebtedness level

As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the indebtedness level is as follows:

 

     Consolidated  
     12/31/12     12/31/11     12/31/10

  (a) Debt is defined as short- and long-term loans and debentures as detailed in Notes 12 and 13.
  (b) Shareholders’ equity includes the Company’s total capital and reserves, managed as capital.

 

47


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

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 non-discounted 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’s 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, 2012.

 

   

Adverse scenario: a 25% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2012.

 

   

Remote scenario: a 50% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2012.

Assumptions

As described above, the Company believes that it is exposed mainly to the risks of fluctuation of the interbank deposit rate (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, of August 27, 2009, which prescribes 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 retain 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 in 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 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 said tax by Banco Ourinvest S.A.

On January 13, 2010, Banco Ourinvest S.A. obtained the reply to its inquiry to the Federal Revenue Service, which concludes for the need to continue retaining IRRF on income paid to shareholders established as real estate investment funds whose interests exceed 10% of the units of a fund.

In order to avoid the mandatory withholding of IRRF, Banco Ourinvest S.A. filed an injunction with federal courts to stay the withholding of income tax on income paid to Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário I and other real estate investment funds. Accordingly, all income tax amounts not withheld until January 13, 2010, which were part of the short-term investments under the custody of Sierra Investimentos, were redeemed and transferred to Banco Ourinvest S.A. and subsequently deposited in escrow.

On April 9, 2010, Banco Ourinvest S.A. obtained from a federal lower court a decision awarding the injunction described above. A federal lower court issued a decision favorable to the claim for not withholding income tax on earnings distributed by real estate investment funds, whose units are traded exclusively on stock exchanges or the over-the-counter market, to another real estate investment fund. The decision also establishes that, after a final and unappealable decision is issued, the plaintiff will have the right to withdraw the voluntary deposits made in court.

At 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 counterarguments and currently awaits the appellate court decision.

As of December 31, 2012, 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 item ‘Other receivables’, in noncurrent assets (see note 5). In addition, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has a balance of R$4,065 (R$2,171 as of December 31, 2011) 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 in 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 of associate.

 

  (e) Deferred income taxes

Corresponds to deferred tax effects on the above differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

 

  (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 US 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 US GAAP.
