On December 21, 2017, we completed our (i) Pre-Closing Restructuring, pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s common shares contributed these common shares to the Registrant in exchange for an aggregate of 27,001,886 ordinary shares of the Registrant, and as a result of such contribution became our indirectly-owned subsidiary, and (ii) merger with Estre USA, pursuant to which BII Merger Sub Corp. merged with and into Estre USA Inc., with Estre USA as the surviving entity, and Estre USA became our partially-owned subsidiary, which is referred to herein as the Merger (in addition, 1,983,000 of the Registrant’s ordinary shares were issued to the Employee Compensation Entity immediately prior to the closing of the Merger).
|
· |
Also on December 21, 2017, the Registrant issued 15,438,000 of the Registrant’s ordinary shares and 3,748,600 warrants to purchase the Registrant’s ordinary shares at US$11.50 per share to certain institutional investors unaffiliated with us pursuant to a private investment in public equity, which we refer to as the PIPE Investment. For more information on the PIPE Investment, see “Item 10.C. Additional Information—Material Contracts—PIPE Subscription Agreements.”
|
· |
As a result of the Merger and the PIPE Investment, we received a total US$139.9 million cash investment (comprising US$11.2 million from existing shareholders of Estre USA that did not redeem their public shares in connection with the Merger, and US$128.7 million from the proceeds of the sale of our ordinary shares to PIPE Investors), of which US$110.6 million was used to reduce certain of our indebtedness pursuant to a simultaneous Debt Restructuring, coupled with a partial debt write-down and the refinancing of the balance of the debentures and related debt acknowledgment instrument through the amendment and restatement of the terms of such instruments with new terms.
|
1. |
the write-off of capitalized expenses in relation to our landfills in connection with payments made for certain goods and services with insufficient evidence that such goods and services were provided;
|
2. |
corresponding adjustments to amortization expenses as a result of the write-off of capitalized expenses described above;
|
3. |
the recalculation of our income tax returns adjusted for expenses recorded during the fiscal years 2013 through 2017 that were previously deducted and for which there was insufficient evidence that goods or services were actually provided, corresponding to increased expenses recorded in our income statement under “Other Operating Expenses” in relation to unpaid principal, “Finance Costs” in relation to payments of penalties and interest and, in 2017, “General and Administrative Expenses” in relation to loss carryforward principal; and
|
4. |
the additional tax effects of the adjustments described above.
|
· |
In relation to our consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2015, the adjustments resulted in a decrease of total assets of R$11.8 million, an increase of total liabilities of R$46.9 million and a decrease of equity of R$58.7 million;
|
· |
In relation to the year ended December 31, 2015, the adjustments resulted in a decrease of total assets of R$7.0 million, an increase in total liabilities of R$72.1 million, a decrease of equity of R$79.1 million and a net loss adjustment of R$20.3 million for the year; and
|
· |
In relation to the year ended December 31, 2016, the adjustments resulted in a decrease of total assets of R$3.5 million, an increase in total liabilities of R$98.0 million, a decrease of equity of R$101.5 million and a net loss adjustment of R$22.5 million for the year.
|
· |
failure to detect payments to certain suppliers with insufficient evidence of goods and services being provided, as per the findings of the Internal Evaluation Process, due, in part, to our inability to maintain effective controls over the review of accounting entries across our organization, particularly at Soma, where our compliance program and policies had not been properly implemented and enforced;
|
· |
the actions and inactions of the former management at Soma, who either directed and/or did not take action to prevent or stop certain practices contrary to our compliance policies and other misconduct when they became aware of them and that were subsequently identified by the Internal Evaluation Process, and also concealed the existence of such practices or directed other former employees to do so;
|
· |
continued use of manual processes as a result of the delayed implementation of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system;
|
· |
defective communication processes and procedures hampering the efficient exchange of information within our organization, particularly among our legal, financial and accounting departments;
|
· |
ineffective centralization and implementation of policies and criteria with respect to accounting for certain revenue and related accounts receivables, including in relation to (i) establishing clear criteria for recording adjustments to net present value and related income associated with trade accounts receivables, (ii) maintaining effective controls to prevent or detect errors related to the recording and reversing provisions for doubtful accounts for overdue customers; and (iii) application of depreciation rates, including at our landfills;
|
· |
lack of adequate controls and procedures to identify, assess and gather information to adequately and timely determine our related party transactions in all cases; and
|
· |
shortcomings in the implementation and maintenance of effective IT general controls.
|
· |
hiring of a new, seasoned CFO at the end of 2017 who will further strengthen the tone at the top that overriding of internal controls will not be tolerated;
|
· |
the replacement of the senior management team at Soma;
|
· |
the establishment of an almost entirely independent board of directors consisting of leading executives and other professionals that are experts in their respective fields as well as the establishment of an independent audit committee and corporate governance committee with expanded oversight functions;
|
· |
appointment of an independent chairman of our board of directors with significant industry experience bringing international best practices to our business and, in so doing, effectively ushering in an era of enhanced corporate governance standards by replacing Mr. Wilson Quintella Filho as chairman of the board of directors;
|
· |
making certain adjustments to our compliance infrastructure to strengthen the independence of our compliance function and eliminate opportunities to override controls across our organization, including at Soma and all our subsidiaries and joint ventures;
|
· |
making certain adjustments to our internal audit team, including an increase in the number of employees in the team to strengthen the Company’s ability to continuously evaluate its internal procedures and identify any weaknesses or misconduct in its early stages;
|
· |
implementation of a new policy on related party transactions that will better enable us to trace and identify related party transactions in a more systematic way;
|
· |
enhancing policies and procedures to verify that our comprehensive compliance policies and procedures are fully implemented at all of our subsidiaries and joint ventures;
|
· |
further upgrading our ERP business process management software, which we first implemented in 2016, in order to better manage our business and automate many back office functions with the goal of improving our internal controls over financial reporting and streamlining monthly, quarterly and year-end closings. The full system migration is expected to be completed by the end of 2018;
|
· |
enhancing and continuing to improve the vendor master data, due diligence, know your client procedures, procurement and payment procedures and associated controls;
|
· |
implementing a workflow tool, under the direction of our new CFO, allowing the controlled exchange of information to facilitate timely and effective communication amongst the legal, financial and accounting departments and prompt registration of all transactions; and
|
· |
making certain adjustments to improve the security in some of our IT procedures such as the periodic review of login profiles and their access to certain information on the system and the closer management of users with privileged profiles.
|
· |
changes in market prices, customer demand and preferences and competitive conditions;
|
· |
general economic, political and business conditions in Brazil, particularly in the geographic markets we serve and others in which we intend to serve;
|
· |
fluctuations in inflation and interest rates to which our debt is indexed;
|
· |
the risk that the recently completed Merger may disrupt our plans and operations;
|
· |
our significant level of indebtedness and fixed obligations;
|
· |
the risk that we may lose contracts through competitive bidding, including our São Paulo urban cleaning contract thorough Soma, or be required to substantially lower prices in order to retain certain contracts, which could negatively impact our revenues;
|
· |
the outcome of investigations by government authorities under the applicable anti-corruption laws or otherwise, including the currently ongoing
Operation Descarte
and other actions in relation to our former controlling shareholder;
|
· |
the outcome of alleged tax infringement charges by the Brazilian tax authorities and the possibility of further tax infringement charges relating to other facts and periods, including in relation to ongoing investigations and inquiries of the tax authorities;
|
· |
the recruitment, compensation and retention of key personnel;
|
· |
our ability to successfully defend ourselves in connection with various ongoing and future judicial, administrative or other third-party proceedings that could interrupt or materially limit our operations, divert our management’s attention and result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity;
|
· |
the strength and security of our information technology infrastructure and internal controls and our ability to successfully implement our remediation plan to address certain weaknesses in our internal controls;
|
· |
our ability to retain our customers given that a significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of customers;
|
· |
our ability to collect for the services we provide, which is dependent on the financial condition of our customers, especially that of our public sector customers;
|
· |
our ability to successful obtain or renew the necessary licenses to operate new landfills or expand existing ones;
|
· |
our ability to adequately establish reserves and provisions for landfill site closure and post-closure costs and contamination-related costs;
|
· |
existing and future governmental regulation, including in relation to environmental liabilities;
|
· |
our ability to detect and prevent money laundering, improper payments and other illegal activities;
|
· |
labor disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions, including in connection with negotiations with unions;

Solely for the convenience of the reader, the amounts in reais for the year ended December 31, 2017 has been translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of R$3.3080 per U.S. dollar, which was the commercial selling rate for U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2017, as reported by the Central Bank. These translations should not be considered representations that any such amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other exchange rate. See “—Exchange Rate Information” below.

|
For an explanation of our restatement as a result of our Internal Evaluation Process, please see “Explanatory Note” and Note 1.5 of our audited financial statements included herein.
|
(3) |
The calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the net income attributable to controlling equity holders of the Registrant and the proportional weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is based on the net income attributable to controlling equity holders, as adjusted by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive shares.
For additional information, see note 35 to our audited financial statements.
|
(4) |
The calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share from continuing operation is based on the net income from continuing operations attributable to controlling equity holders of the Registrant and the proportional weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is based on the net income attributable to controlling equity holders and by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive shares.
For additional information, see note 35 to our audited financial statements.
|
(5) |
Given that the Registrant is a new parent entity established to effect a share for share exchange in connection with the Transaction, and its audited financial statements have been presented as a continuation of the existing group, the number of shares taken as being issued for both the current and preceding periods was the number of shares issued by the new parent entity (Estre Ambiental, Inc.). In the calculation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 presented in the audited financial statements, there were no changes in the number of outstanding ordinary shares of Estre Ambiental S.A. for the periods that should be reflected in the calculation. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares was the same for all periods.

Trade accounts receivable that are 90 days overdue result in a third notification requesting payment within 72 hours, subject to suspension of the services being provided (to the extent permitted under Brazilian law); and
|
· |
Trade accounts receivable that are more than 90 days overdue are forwarded to our legal department to consider legal action, which may involve a collection demand in court. We typically attempt to simultaneously negotiate alternative payment arrangements with our defaulting public entity customers to incentivize payment, which arrangements can vary on a case by case basis, but do not involve forgiveness of any portion of the principal amount due to us. Generally, we will renegotiate the payment schedule, allowing delinquent customers to pay the full principal amount due in installments over a period of 24 to 60 months, sometimes with interest or inflation adjustments. Failure to reach agreement with the customer to settle the debt could result in suspension of the services being provided (to the extent permitted under Brazilian law).

Level 1—quoted prices are available in a market with high liquidity for identical assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, consisting mainly of financial instruments traded on a stock exchange.
|
· |
Level 2—prices used are different from prices quoted at Level 1, although they are directly or indirectly observable at the date of the financial statements. In this modality, financial instruments are valued using some type of modeling or other valuation methodology based on current market values, volatility, future prices, time values or other economic measurements.
|
· |
Level 3—the sources of price information used include sources that are generally less observable, but which can be based on objective sources. These sources can be used with methodologies internally developed by us.
|
· |
Decommissioning costs are recorded for at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognized as part of the cost of the relevant asset;
|
· |
The cash flows are discounted at a pre-tax long-term risk-free rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs, or in the discount rate applied, are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset;
|
· |
The estimated costs are recorded taking into account the present value of the obligation, discounted to an average long-term risk-free rate of 15.26%; and
|
· |
Cost estimates are reviewed annually, with the consequent review of present value calculation, adjusting the amounts of assets and liabilities already accounted for.
|
· |
Payroll, charges and benefits costs, which consist of salaries and wages, health and welfare benefits, incentive compensation and payroll taxes;

In connection with the Transaction, on December 21, 2017, we entered into three definitive agreements for the transfer of our equity interests in Loga, Attend and Terrestre to a vehicle controlled by the Company’s former shareholders for a nominal fee. These agreements are subject to customary conditions precedent, such as regulatory approvals and other third-party consents. Subject to the fulfillment of applicable conditions precedent, we expect the transfer of our interests in Loga, Attend and Terrestre to the Company’s former shareholders to be completed in 2018.

Variable consideration – significant financial component and advances received from customers:
in accordance with IFRS 15, we must determine whether there is a significant financing component in our contracts. A significant financing component may exist if the promise of financing is expressly stated in the contract or implied in the terms of payment agreed by the parties to the contract. We carried out an analysis related to the existence of a significant financial component for public sector clients, since the average term of effective receipt for this client portfolio is approximately six months. In so doing, we considered the average rate of 8.40% for the discount rate of 2017, which represents the discount rate usually applied by us to calculate present value of its non-current assets and liabilities. When we adopt IFRS 15, we expect application of IFRS 15 to reduce equity in the amount equivalent to R$1.9 million.
|
· |
Variable consideration – volume discount:
We grant discounts related to quantities, types of waste (cardboard and plastic) delivered, such that the larger the volume of waste is collected, the greater discount value in the unit price. In assessing the impact of IFRS 15, we conducted a survey of customers who benefit from discount clauses described above and, from this analysis, we have determined that there is no expectation of any impact on the balances already recorded.
|
· |
Advance received from customers:
For some contracts entered into with customers, we receive advances before the service is rendered. According to the current accounting policy, the amounts related to these advances are presented under the account of customer advances in current liabilities. These balances are offset and transferred to the net revenue line, according to the services rendered, with an average duration of four months. In accordance with IFRS 15, we must determine whether there is a significant financing component in our contracts. However, we decided to use the practical expedient provided by IFRS 15 and will not adjust the amount promised for the effects of significant financing components in the contracts.
|
· |
Reversal of revenue
: We record revenue as services are rendered. The period of measurement of these services is 30 days and the result of the measurement is sent to the clients for approval. After the measurements are approved, the invoice is made and, in cases where there is no feedback from customers regarding the billing, revenue is recognized based on the estimates (billing services). In the subsequent month, billing occurs after approval by customers. Revenues not billed in the subsequent period represent 3.52% of the value recognized through measurements, analyzing within a period of 60 days. Under IFRS 15, the amount of the consideration may vary due to discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties or other similar items. We calculated the effects of discounts and rebates and, when we adopt IFRS 15, we expect the adjustments will reduce equity in the amount of R$1.9 million.
|
· |
Revenues from sales
: Refer to the sale of scrap, fuel gas, carbon credit, electric power. For this type of revenue, we treat each item as a separate performance obligation and recognize the revenue from these performance obligations at the time the control of the asset is transferred to the customer, usually at the time of delivery of the goods. For these revenues, we did not identify any impact related to the adoption of IFRS 15.

Costs related to the lease of machinery and equipment decreased by R$29.5 million, or 63.4%, primarily due to the substitution of certain equipment rental arrangements for lease-to-own arrangements in 2017, which are classified as capital expenditures;
|
· |
Costs related to depreciation, amortization and depletion decreased by R$22.2 million, or 16.7%, reflecting mainly the lowering of the depreciation rate applied to our landfills, which is annually reviewed as function of disposal volume, together with the closing of one cell in our Paulínia landfill, with the consequent impact of costs direct in provision for landfill closing reversals;
|
· |
Costs related to waste treatment and disposal of leachate decreased by R$12.7 million, or 25.9%, primarily due to (i) the commencement of our leachate treatment facilities in Curitiba in mid-2016, representing significant costs savings compared to third party leachate treatment providers and (ii) the closing of one cell in Paulínia landfill; and
|
· |
Costs related to materials used in the operations of landfills decreased by R$10.3 million, or 35.7%, primarily reflecting the costs of implementing higher safety and quality standards in 2016 without any corresponding cost in 2017.

Payroll, charges and benefits costs increased by R$42.0 million, or 8.4%, from R$500.7 million in 2015 to R$542.7 million in 2016 mainly due to a R$32.1 million cost increase associated with the hiring of new employees to service a new public collections contract won in May 2016 with the municipality of Aracaju.
|
· |
Waste treatment and disposal of leachate costs increased R$12.3 million, or 33.6%, from R$36.7 million in 2015 to R$49.0 million in 2016 primarily due to an increase in our rate of internalization in 2016.
|
· |
Materials to operate landfills increased by R$7.4 million, or 34.7%, from R$21.3 million in 2015 to R$28.7 million in 2016 reflecting increased costs resulting from the adoption of higher safety standards in 2016.
|
· |
Transportation costs decreased by R$23.2 million, or 64.8%, from R$35.8 million in 2015 to R$12.6 million in 2016 primarily due to a decrease in the volume of services rendered to our main customer in the Oil & Gas segment, Petrobras, reflecting in part the negative impact of the economic and political environment on Petrobras’ operations.
|
· |
Costs associated with lease of machinery and equipment decreased by R$9.9 million, or 17.6%, from R$56.4 million in 2015 to R$46.5 million in 2016 primarily due to the substitution of certain equipment rental arrangements for lease-to-own arrangements in 2016, which are classified as capital expenditures.

General and administrative expenses increased by R$26.2 million, or 11.3%, from R$231.9 million in 2016 to R$258.1 million in 2017, mainly due to a R$58.4 million increase in provisions for legal proceedings reflecting mainly (A) a R$53.6 million provision established in connection with our participation in Brazil’s Tax Regularization Program resulting from our settlement of disputes that we previously had not provisioned for based on management’s earlier assessment of mid low probability of loss and (B) a R$11.2 million provision in connection with the findings from our Internal Evaluation Process resulting from insufficient loss carry forwads, slightly offset by a decrease in our provisions for labor proceedings as a result of favorable settlements and our reassessment of the chance of loss in certain of our ongoing proceedings. This increase in provisioning was partially offset by (i) a R$11.5 million, or 9.8%, decrease in payroll charges and benefits reflecting, among other factors, a decrease in expenses related to our restructuring incentive plan, (ii) a R$9.9 million, or 25.0%, decrease in advisory and legal advisory services and (iii) a R$5.3 million, or 17.1% , decrease in depreciation and amortization fees.
|
· |
Selling expenses varied from income of R$10.5 million in 2016 to an expense of R$6.6 million in 2017, mainly due to the R$14.7 million increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts from our Collections & Cleaning Services segment in 2017 coupled with the impact of a reversal in the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2016 resulting from an increase in collection of overdue receivables, with no corresponding positive impact in 2017.
|
· |
Share of profit of an associate varied from income of R$10.2 million in 2016 to an expense of R$1.0 million in 2017 reflecting the reclassification of the companies that will be spun-off in connection with the Transaction as discontinued operations (Loga, Attend and Terrestre).
|
· |
Other operating (expenses) income, net increased by R$53.2 million, from R$24.7 million in 2015 to R$77.9 million in 2016, mainly due to (i) a R$34.0 million increase in impairment charges relating to our CTR Itaboraí landfill, from R$10.8 million in 2015 to R$44.8 million in 2016, due to lower-than-expected returns from this project, (ii) a R$20.9 million loss in connection with our write-off of the call option to acquire CDR Pedreira in 2016, as compared with a R$10.7 million loss in 2015 (see “Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and Development—Sale of CDR Pedreira—Centro de Disposicâo de Resíduos”), and (iii) a lower volume of tax credits in 2016 (R$13.3 million) compared to 2015 (R$22.6 million) reflecting our implementation of a more active tax efficiency program. These increases in other operating (expenses) income, net were partially offset by a R$12.1 million capital loss in connection with our sale of Estrans in 2015 (see “Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and Development—Sale of Interest in Estrans S.A.”) without a corresponding loss in 2016 and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in provisions established in relation to our Internal Evaluation Process, from R$14.7 million in 2015 to R$8.7 million in 2016 (see “Explanatory Note”).
|
· |
General and administrative expenses increased by R$8.6 million, or 3.9%, from R$223.3 million in 2015 to R$231.9 million in 2016, mainly due to (i) a R$14.6 million, or 14.3%, increase in payroll, charges and benefits costs, from R$102.3 million in 2015 to R$116.9 million in 2016, reflecting in part (A) an increase in expenses related to our restructuring incentive plan, from R$11.0 million in 2015 to R$33.1 million in 2016, (B) the hiring of approximately 1,000 new employees in 2016 to service our new collections contract in the city of Aracaju, and (C) the impact of inflation and the annual renegotiation of our collective bargain agreements with employees, and (ii) a R$5.8 million, or 35.4%, increase in costs related to legal and advisory services associated mainly with M&A transactions. These increases in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by a R$12.0 million decrease in provision for legal proceedings reflecting positive developments in connection with certain legal proceedings, leading our management to reduce the expectations of loss.
|
· |
A R$2.8 million decrease in gains recorded under selling expenses, from R$13.3 million in 2015 to R$10.5 million in 2016, mainly due to a R$20.1 million decrease in reversals of provisions for doubtful accounts, from R$337.4 million in 2015 to R$317.3 million in 2016. We successfully renegotiated the payment of overdue accounts with certain specific municipalities with significant overdue balances and as a result reversed the related provisions. The renegotiated overdue accounts receivable balances in 2016 were lower than those renegotiated during 2015. This impact was offset by a decrease in additional accounts considered under doubtful accounts in 2016.
|
· |
Finance expenses increased by R$133.4 million, or 33.3%, mainly due to a R$136.3 million increase in interest for late payment of taxes reflecting mainly the increase in interest expenses accrued on the balance of taxes settled by us under the Brazilian Tax Regularization Program (see ‘‘—Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations—Participation in Tax Regularization Plan’’ above), partially offset by a R$32.9 million, or 12.5%, decrease in interest of loans and debentures due to the renegotiation of the interest paid on our debentures in connection with the Debt Restructuring.
|
· |
Finance income increased by R$56.1 million, or 104.7%, primarily reflecting a R$91.5 gain as a result of the discounts we obtained when renegotiating our debentures as part of the Debt Restructuring, partially offset by a R$20.0 million decrease in interest of taxes credit due to inflation adjustments related to income and social contribution tax and withheld INSS.
|
· |
Finance income increased by R$23.4 million, or 77.5%, from R$30.2 million in 2015 to R$53.6 million in 2016, mainly due to (i) R$26.8 million in interest recorded in 2016 derived from inflation adjustments related to income and social contribution tax losses withheld by INSS, without corresponding finance income in 2015, and (ii) a R$8.3 million, or 76.1%, increase resulting from interest income on late payments from customers. These increases were partially offset by (i) a R$ 7.7 million, or 74.8% decrease in other finance income due to an adjustment to present value of the accounts payable for land acquisition, and (ii) a R$3.9 million decrease in interest on investments resulting from a lower amount invested in the financial markets; and
|
· |
Finance costs increased by R$15.7 million, or 4.1%, from R$385.1 million in 2015 to R$400.8 million in 2016, mainly due to a R$28.6 million increase in interest on loans and debentures driven by increased interest rates, which was partially offset by a R$7.4 million, or 9.1%, decrease in interest expenses for late payment of taxes coupled with a R$5.0 million, or 42.7%, decrease in interest expenses for late payment to suppliers.

· |
failure to detect payments to certain suppliers with insufficient evidence of goods and services being provided, as per the findings of the Internal Evaluation Process, due, in part, to our inability to maintain effective controls over the review of accounting entries across our organization, particularly at Soma, where our compliance program and policies had not been properly implemented and enforced;
|
· |
the actions and inactions of the former management at Soma, who either directed and/or did not take action to prevent or stop certain practices contrary to our compliance policies and other misconduct when they became aware of them and that were subsequently identified by the Internal Evaluation Process, and also concealed the existence of such practices or directed other former employees to do so;
|
· |
continued use of manual processes as a result of the delayed implementation of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system;
|
· |
defective communication processes and procedures hampering the efficient exchange of information within our organization, particularly among our legal, financial and accounting departments;
|
· |
ineffective centralization and implementation of policies and criteria with respect to accounting for certain revenue and related accounts receivables, including in relation to (i) establishing clear criteria for recording adjustments to net present value and related income associated with trade accounts receivables, (ii) maintaining effective controls to prevent or detect errors related to the recording and reversing provisions for doubtful accounts for overdue customers; and (iii) application of depreciation rates, including at our landfills;
|
· |
lack of adequate controls and procedures to identify, assess and gather information to adequately and timely determine our related party transactions in all cases; and
|
· |
shortcomings in the implementation and maintenance of effective IT general controls.
|
· |
hiring of a new, seasoned CFO at the end of 2017 who will further strengthen the tone at the top that overriding of internal controls will not be tolerated;
|
· |
the replacement of the senior management team at Soma;
|
· |
the establishment of an almost entirely independent board of directors consisting of leading executives and other professionals that are experts in their respective fields as well as the establishment of an independent audit committee and corporate governance committee with expanded oversight functions;
|
· |
appointment of an independent chairman of our board of directors with significant industry experience bringing international best practices to our business and, in so doing, effectively ushering in an era of enhanced corporate governance standards by replacing Mr. Wilson Quintella Filho as chairman of the board of directors;

making certain adjustments to our compliance infrastructure to strengthen the independence of our compliance function and eliminate opportunities to override controls across our organization, including at Soma and all our subsidiaries and joint ventures;
|
· |
making certain adjustments to our internal audit team, including an increase in the number of employees in the team to strengthen the Company’s ability to continuously evaluate its internal procedures and identify any weaknesses or misconduct in its early stages;
|
· |
implementation of a new policy on related party transactions that will better enable us to trace and identify related party transactions in a more systematic way;
|
· |
enhancing policies and procedures to verify that our comprehensive compliance policies and procedures are fully implemented at all of our subsidiaries and joint ventures;
|
· |
further upgrading our ERP business process management software, which we first implemented in 2016, in order to better manage our business and automate many back office functions with the goal of improving our internal controls over financial reporting and streamlining monthly, quarterly and year-end closings. The full system migration is expected to be completed by the end of 2018;
|
· |
enhancing and continuing to improve the vendor master data, due diligence, know your client procedures, procurement and payment procedures and associated controls;
|
· |
implementing a workflow tool, under the direction of our new CFO, allowing the controlled exchange of information to facilitate timely and effective communication amongst the legal, financial and accounting departments and prompt registration of all transactions; and
|
· |
making certain adjustments to improve the security in some of our IT procedures such as the periodic review of login profiles and their access to certain information on the system and the closer management of users with privileged profiles.

(a) |
PIS and COFINS are taxes levied by the Brazilian federal government on gross revenues. The standard rates are 7.60% for PIS and 1.65% for COFINS applicable to entities declaring income tax and social contribution on the ‘actual profits’ basis. These amounts are invoiced to and collected from our customers and recognized as deductions to gross revenue (Note 24) against Tax liabilities, as we are acting as agents collecting these taxes on behalf of the government. PIS and COFINS taxes paid on certain purchases may be claimed back as tax credits to offset PIS and COFINS payable. These amounts are recognized as Taxes recoverable (Note 6) and on a monthly basis are offset against PIS and COFINS Tax payable, and presented net as the amounts are due to the same tax authority. Brazilian tax legislation allows smaller entities with less than R$78 million in annual gross revenues to opt to declare income taxes on the ‘presumed profits’ basis. These are subject to lower COFINS and PIS rates of 3.00% and 0.65%, respectively. However, PIS and COFINS taxes on purchases may not be claimed back and will not generate tax credits under the presumed profits basis.
|

ISS is a tax levied by municipalities on revenues from the provision of services. ISS tax is added to amounts invoiced to our customers for the services we render. These are recognized as deductions to gross revenue (Note 24—Taxes levied—ISSQN) against Tax liabilities, as we are acting as agents collecting these taxes on behalf of municipal governments. The rates may vary from 2.00% to 5.00%, however most of the municipalities in which we operate levy ISS at the higher rate. Each municipality sets slightly different rules regarding the use of credits and withholding of ISS tax on payments to suppliers.

(c) |
IRPJ and CSLL are corporate income taxes levied by the Brazilian federal government. The IRPJ rate is 25% and the CSLL rate is 9%, resulting in a combined federal corporate income tax rate of 34% on taxable profits. The expense for current income tax is recognized in the statement of profit or loss under ‘Current income and social contribution taxes’ against tax payable. However, for some entities in the group, advances for the payment of income tax are paid on a quarterly basis during the tax year and are recognized as an asset under Taxes recoverable (Note 6—‘Corporate income tax (IRPJ)’ and ‘Social contribution tax on net profit (CSLL)’). Income tax is levied on legal entities individually, with no right of offset between entities in a group. Smaller entities opting to declare income taxes on the ‘presumed profits’ basis are taxed at the same rates on a ‘presumed profit’ of 32% of gross revenues.
|
(d) |
Purchases of certain materials or services require us to retain and pay taxes on behalf of our suppliers. The rate of 4.65% in relation to PIS, COFINS and CSLL tax on applicable purchases is withheld from payments made to suppliers and recognized as a tax liability, with no impact to the statement of profit or loss.
|
(e) |
Refers to installment payment of IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS, which payment is deferred in 30 to 60 installments, adjusted by the SELIC rate. The accrual of interest on this liability is recognized as a financial expense under the line item—‘Interest for late payment of taxes’ (Note 29).

In August 2014, enactment of Federal Law No. 12996/2014 (‘‘REFIS da Copa’’) enabled the inclusion of new tax contingencies in REFIS (tax installment payment program). The Company initially included the overdue taxes in REFIS da Copa in order to benefit from interest and fine amnesty. With the launch of PERT in 2017, the Company decided to include most part of taxes in this new program, instead of REFIS da Copa.

As mentioned in Note 17, the Company was benefitted by reduction of part of the interest and fines arising from taxes (included in the PRT and PERT tax amnesty programs). The benefit was calculated based on the tax loss, and therefore a credit was recorded in deferred income tax, in profit or loss, against a reduction in the tax payable balance (included in the REFIS). The application for inclusion in REFIS was filed with the Brazilian IRS, see note 17.
