(A free translation from Portuguese into English of Individual and Consolidated Interim Financial Information prepared in Brazilian currency in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by International Accounting Standards Board – IASB) and consistently with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).


 

Independent auditor’s report on interim financial information

 

To Shareholders, Board of Directors and Officers

Telefônica Brasil S.A.

São Paulo - SP

 

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Telefônica Brasil S.A., (“Company”), contained in the Quarterly Information Form (Informações Trimestrais - ITR) for the quarter  ended on September 30, 2016, which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the related statements of income and of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended on September 30, 2016, and changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including other explanatory information.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Standard CPC 21 (R1) Interim Financial Reporting (Demonstração Intermediária) issued by Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis - CPC and with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of this information in conformity with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information Form (ITR), and presented consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim Value Added Statement for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2016, prepared under management’s responsibility, whose presentation in the interim financial information is required by the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to preparation of the Quarterly Information Form (ITR), and as supplementary information under IFRS, which do not require Value Added Statement presentation. This statement has been subject to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that it is not fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the overall accompanying interim financial information.

The Company is also listed in the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), of the United States of America, and its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) are classified in level II, backed only by preferred shares, and traded in the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

 

b) Operations

 

The Company is primarily engaged in rendering land-line telephone and data services in the State of São Paulo, under Fixed Switched Telephone Service (“STFC”) concession agreement, and Multimedia Communication Service (“SCM”, data communication, including broadband internet) authorization, respectively.

 

The Company is the grantee on an STFC concession to render land-line services in the local network and national long distance calls originated in sector 31 of Region III, which comprises the state of São Paulo (except for cities within sector 33) and has authorization for land-line calls originated in Regions I and II, as established in the General Concession Plan (“PGO”).

 

The Company is also authorized to render other telecommunications services, such as SMP (Personal Communication Services) and SEAC (Conditional Access Audiovisual Services), especially by means of DTH and cable technologies.

 

With the incorporation of GVT Holdings SA ("GVTPart."), note 1c), the Company started to operate in the provision of STFC, SCM and pay TV ("SEAC") throughout the Brazilian territory.

 

In accordance with the service concession agreement, every two years, during the agreement’s 20-year term, the Company shall pay a fee equivalent to 2% of its prior-year STFC revenues, net of applicable taxes and social contribution taxes (Note 21). The Company’s current STFC concession agreement is valid until December 31, 2025.

 

In accordance with the SMP authorization agreements, every two years, after the first renewal of these agreements, the Company shall pay a fee equivalent to 2% of its prior-year SMP revenues, net of applicable taxes and social contribution taxes, related to the application of Basic and Alternative Services Plans (Note 21). These agreements can be extended only once for a term of 15 years.

Service concessions and authorizations are granted by National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), under the terms of Law No. 9472 of July 16, 1997 - General Telecomunication Law (“Lei Geral das Telecomunicações” - LGT), amended by Laws No. 9986, of July 18, 2000, and No. 12485, of September 12, 2011.

The information on the operation areas (regions) and due dates of the radiofrequency authorizations for SMP services  is the same of Note 1b) Operations as disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

c) Corporate Restructuring

 

In the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 1, 2016, approved the Corporate Restructuring in accordance with the terms and conditions proposed of March 14, 2016, as described below.

 

GVTPart. was the parent company of Global Village Telecom S.A. ("GVT"), companies controlled by the Company from May 28, 2015 to April 1, 2016 (Note 3). GVT was the direct controlling company of POP Internet Ltda. (“POP”), and indirect controlling company of Innoweb Ltda. (“Innoweb”), Brazil-based.

 

POP is a provider of free Internet access. Innoweb (subsidiary of POP) provides telephone services using VoIP technology, which allows calls using the Internet at lower costs than those using conventional telephone technology, using dedicated circuits.

 

The Corporate Restructuring was approved by ANATEL through Ruling No. 50.169, of January 22, 2016, which was published in the Federal Official Gazette (“DOU”) on January 28, 2016 with the conditions provided therein.

The Corporate Restructuring occurred on the same date and as follows, mentioned above having occurred: (i) GVT was spun off and involving assets, rights and obligations related to the telecommunications activities, its net assets relating to property, rights and obligations connected to telecommunications activities was absorbed by GVTPart., while other net assets relating to property, rights and obligations connected to activities other than telecommunications was absorbed by POP; and (iii) the net assets of GVTPart. (after the merger of GVT’s net assets, item (i)) was merged into the Company.

The Corporate Restructuring aims at standardizing the services provided by the companies involved in this process by (i) concentrating the rendering of telecommunication services on one single company, that is, the Company; and (ii) migration of activities that were provided by GVT, specifically those that were not related to telecommunications services for POP.

As such, the simplification of the corporate structure and the concentration of telecommunication services on the Company will lead to a converging environment, facilitating consolidation and confluence of the offering of telecommunication services and service packages; optimizing administrative and operating costs; and standardizing the operations of the companies involved in the Corporate Restructuring.

The ownership structure at March 31, 2016 (before the Corporate Restructuring) and from April 1, 2016 (after  the Corporate Restructuring), considering only the companies involved in the Corporate Restructuring were the following:

Telefônica Brasil S. A.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 


 

Given that the merger of GVTPart. into the Company does not require capital increase or change in shareholders’ interest in the Company, since GVTPart. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the replacement of shares held by the shareholders in GVTPart. with shares in the Company is not applicable. Consequently, there are no minority interests to be considered and, therefore, according to the CVM’s position in similar prior cases, and on the terms of CVM Resolution No. 559/08, the provisions of article 264 of Law No. 6404/76 and its further amendments do not apply either.

Additionally, in relation to the transaction that precedes the merger of GVTPart into the Company, the replacement of shares is not applicable, since GVT is a subsidiary of GVTPart. and of the Company itself, thus there are no minority shareholders.

On the terms of article 137 of Law No. 6404/76 and its further amendments, the Corporate Restructuring does not entitle Company’s shareholders the right of withdrawal. Furthermore, considering that there are no minority shareholders of GVTPart., since it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, there is no question of right to withdrawal  and exercise of the right to withdraw of non-controlling shareholders of GVTPart., as provided by in article 136, item iv, and article 137 of Law No. 6404/76 and its further amendments.

2)    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.1) Statement of Compliance

The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of these quarterly financial statements at the meeting held on October 25, 2016.

 

For comparability of the consolidated interim financial statements (income statement, statements of comprehensive income, statements of value added and statements of cash flows) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, must consider the effects of consolidating GVTPart. from 1 May 2015.

Telefônica Brasil S. A.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Some figures on the notes to the quarterly financial statements were reclassified to allow comparability between the information for the nine-months periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, where applicable.

 

The quarterly financial statements were prepared pursuant to the accounting principles, practices and criteria consistent with those adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 (Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Practices”), and must be analyzed jointly with the referred financial statements, as well as the new pronouncements, interpretations and amendments that had been published, as described below:

 

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, revision: The amendments to this standard provide a guidance regarding the accounting treatment to be adopted upon the reclassification of an asset (or group of assets) from the “held for sale” category to the “distribution to shareholders” category (or conversely). This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company does not have plans for asset sales or distribution to shareholders and, does not expect any significant impacts on its financial position.

 

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, revision: The amendments to this standard provide a guidance regarding the disclosure of the accounting policies that form the measurement base (or bases) used in the preparation of the financial statements, and other accounting policies used that are relevant to allow understanding the financial statements. This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company already discloses significant accounting practices in its financial statements.

 

IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations, revision: The amendments to this standard require that joint investors, which record the acquisition of equity interest in joint operations that is a business apply the relevant IFRS 3 principles applicable to business combination. The amendments further clarify that the interest previously held in joint operations is not remeasured upon acquisition of additional interest in the same joint operation, while the joint control is held. Additionally, a scope exclusion was added to IFRS 11 in order to specify that the amendments are not applicable when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under the common control of the main controlling party. The amendments are applicable to both, the acquisition of final interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interest in the same joint operation, and are effective prospectively as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company did not acquire interest in joint operations fitting into this standard.

 

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts, issue: This standard is optional and allows companies whose activities are subject to regulated fees to continue applying most part of its accounting policies on regulatory deferral accounts balances upon the first-time adoption of IFRS. The companies that adopt IFRS 14 must present regulatory deferral accounts separately in the balance sheet and in the other comprehensive income. This standard requires disclosures on the nature and risks associated with company’s regulated fees, and the effects of such regulation on the financial statements. This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its financial position, since it has already been preparing its financial statements based on the effective IFRS.

 

IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative, revision: This standard addresses changes in the overall financial statements of a company. This standard is applicable as from year beginning on  or after January 1, 2016. The model for disclosure of the Company’s financial information is compliant with this standard, and the Company does not expect impacts on its financial disclosures.

 

IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization, revision: The amendments clarify the depreciation and amortization methods subject to the alignment to the concept of future economic benefits expected from the use of assets over its economic useful life. This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its financial position.

 

IAS 19 Employee Benefits, revision: The amendments to this standard require that the Company disclosure information about the rates used to discount obligations with post-employment benefits, determining by reference market earnings at the end of the reference period of the obligations of high-quality institutions. For currencies for which there is no active market in such obligations of high-quality institutions, there shall be use of market earnings (at the end of the period of disclosure) of government securities denominated in that currency. The currency and term of the obligations of the companies or of government obligations must be consistent with the currency and term expected of obligations with post-employment benefits. In Brazil, there is no confirmed high-quality securities market, and that is the reason why the Company and its actuaries have been using Brazilian Government securities for many years, mainly NTN-Bs (National Treasury Notes – B series), with terms equivalent to the average duration of each plan for purposes of present value discount of the actuarial liabilities. The currency used for the payment of the benefits and for NTN-Bs valuation is the Real.

Amendments to IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements, revision: The amendments to this standard allow the Company to use the equity pick-up method for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates in its individual financial statements. This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. This amendment did not generate any impact on the individual financial statements of the Company, since the equivalent Brazillian accounting standards (CPC-35-R2) already provided the use of this method.

 

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, revision: The amendments to this standard require that the Company disclose in its interim financial statements must include the following information: (i) declaration of policies and calculation methods compared to the most recent annual financial statements; (ii) comments about seasonality; (iii) nature and quantity of unusual items that affect assets, liabilities, equity, revenues or cash flows due to their nature, dimension or occurrence; (iv) nature and number of changes in estimates of amounts disclosed in the comparative periods; (v) issues, repurchases and refunds of securities; (vi) dividends paid (aggregated or per share), separated by common and other shares; (vii) complete information by segment; (viii) events subsequent to the current period, which have not been reflected in the interim reports; and (ix) effects from changes in the Company’s corporate structure during the interim financial statements reporting period, among others. This standard is applicable as from the year beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect impact on its interim financial statements, since it already includes this information in the preparation of its quarterly financial statements.

 

On the date of preparation of these quarterly financial statements, the following IFRS amendments had been published, however, their application was not compulsory:

 

 

Standards and Amendments to the Standards

IFRS 16 Leases, issue.

 

January 1, 2019

 

IFRS 10, 12 and IAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception, review.

 

TBD

 

 

 

The Company does not early adopt any pronouncement, interpretation or amendment that has been issued, whose application is not compulsory. Based on the analyses performed by the Company, the adoption of most of these standards, will not significantly impact the consolidated financial statements in the period of its first-time adoption. However, IFRS 15 may impact the period and amount of revenue recognition in relation to certain revenue transactions. The Telefónica Group is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this standard. In addition, the amendments introduced by IFRS 9 will affect financial instruments and operations with financial instruments performed on or after January 1, 2018. Additionally, IFRS 16 requires that the Company inform all assets and liabilities subject to leases (except short-term leases and leases of low-value). Therefore, the amendments introduced by IFRS 16 may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3)  ACQUISITION OF GVT PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (“GVTPart.”)

 

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 (Note 4 – “Acquisition of GVT Participações S.A.”), the Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 28, 2015 approved the acquisition of the total shares issued by GVTPart. and of 675,571 shares of GVT, as well as the merger of GVTPart. shares into the Company. As a result of these acts, the Company became the sole shareholder of GVTPart. and an indirect controlling shareholder of GVT, POP and Innoweb.

 

On May 28, 2015, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the ratification of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Other Covenants executed by the Company and Vivendi S.A. (“Vivendi”) and its subsidiaries (Société d’Investissements et de Gestion 108 SAS - “FrHolding108” and Société d’Investissements et de Gestion 72 S.A.), whereby all the shares issued by GVTPart. were acquired by the Company.

 

This transaction was subject to obtaining the applicable corporate and regulatory approvals, including from the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and ANATEL, further to other conditions usually applicable to this type of transaction. The transaction was approved by ANATEL under Act No. 448 of January 22, 2015, and published in the Official Federal Gazette (“DOU”) on January 26, 2015, and by CADE at the 61st ordinary session of its Trial Court, held on March 25, 2015, published in the Official Federal Gazette (“DOU”) on March 31, 2015.

 

Under IFRS 3 (R)/CPC 15 (R1) – Business Combinations, business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the fair value of assets transferred, of liabilities assumed at the acquisition date from the acquiree’s shareholders and equity interests issued in exchange for control over the acquiree.

 

The acquisition price was as follows:

 

 

Gross consideration in cash (4.663 billion euros)

 

 

15,964,853

(-) Contractual Adjustments (Net Debt)

 

 

(7,060,899)

Total consideration in cash, net

 

 

8,903,954

(+) Contingent Consideration

 

 

344,217

(+) Consideration in Shares at Fair Value

 

 

8,477,314

(-) Cash Flow Hedge Gain on Transaction, net of taxes (1)

 

(377,373)

(-) Refund according to sections 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 of SPA

 

 

(84,598)

Total consideration, net of Cash Flow Hedge

 

 

17,263,514

 

(1)  Derivative transactions refer to cash flow hedges to protect the amount due in Euro to Vivendi, for the acquisition of GVTPart, against exchange rate variation of the amount.

(1)     This includes the allocation of appreciation of property and equipment items (R$409,601).

 

(2)     This includes the allocation of fair value assigned to the brand (in the amount of R$59,000, determined through the relief-from-royalty method, amortized over 1.5 year), the customer portfolio (in the amount of R$2,523,000, determined through the multi-period excess earnings method, amortized over the average term of 7.77 years), and the surplus value of other intangible assets (R$20,394).

 

(3)     This includes the allocation of fair value assigned to contingent liabilities (R$512,648).

 

(4)     This includes the allocation of deferred taxes on contingent liabilities (R$174,300).

 

(5)     This refers to goodwill recorded on the acquisition of GVTPart. based on expected synergies resulting from the business combination. This amount is already being used for tax purposes.

 

As part of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Other Covenants executed by the Company and Vivendi for the acquisition of GVT Part-issued shares, a contingent consideration was defined for the court deposits made by GVT for the monthly installments of deferred income and social contribution taxes on the amortization of goodwill arising from the corporate restructuring process completed by GVT in 2013. In September 2014, GVT filed for a cancellation of the judicial review and the return of the amounts deposited with the courts.

 

If GVT succeeds in receiving (being reimbursed, refunded of or netting) these funds, they will be returned to Vivendi, as long as they are obtained in a final unappeasable decision. The period for returning such amount is of up to 15 years. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was R$344,217, recorded in the Company’s non-current liabilities as “Loans, financing, financial lease and contingent consideration” (Note 20), which is subject to monthly monetary adjustments based on the Selic rate.

 

The balance of cash and cash equivalents on the acquisition date was R$390,255 (R$376,479, net of transaction costs).

 

On the date of preparation of these quarterly financial statements, the Company had already concluded the reviews and adjustments to the determination of the fair value of GVTPart. for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Labor provisions and contingencies involve labor claims filed by former employees and employees at outsourced (the latter alleging subsidiary or joint liability) claiming for, among other issues, overtime, salary equalization, post-retirement benefits, allowance for health hazard and risk premium, and matters relating to outsourcing.

 

The Company is also a defendant in labor claims filed by retired former employees who are covered by the Retired Employees Medical Assistance Plan (“PAMA”), who among other things are demanding the cancellation of amendments to this plan. Most of these claims await a decision by the Regional Labor Court of São Paulo and the Superior Labor Court. Based on the opinion of its legal counsel and recent decisions of the courts, management considers the risk of loss in these cases as possible. No amount has been allocated for these claims, since is not possible to estimate the cost to the Company in the event of loss.

·       A Public Civil Action involving the Company related to the Community Telephone Plan (“PCT”), on possible rights to indemnify acquirers of expansion plans and did not receive shares in return for its financial investments, in the municipality of Mogi das Cruzes. The total consolidated amount approximates to R$478,713 at September 30, 2016 (R$421,085 at December 31, 2015). The Court of Justice of São Paulo (“TJSP”) overturned the decision and judged the case inadmissible. The Mogi das Cruzes Municipal Telephony Association (“plaintiff” or “Association”) filed a special appeal against the decision of the TJSP. On December 7, 2015, the Association’s appeal was turned down by the Superior Court of Justice. The Association has sought an Amendment of Judgment which were not known by the Superior Court on March 17, 2016. On April 15, 2016, transitioned decision became final, not allowing more resources. Thus, this process is in the final phase.

 

·       A Class Action filed by the Association of Participants in SISTEL (“ASTEL”) in the State of São Paulo, challenging changes made in the Company’s Retired Employees’ Medical Assistance Plan (“PAMA”) and, briefly summarized, claim for the reestablishment of the prior status quo ante. The process is still in the appeal stage, waiting for Interlocutory Appeal judgment filed by Company against admissibility decision of the special and extraordinary appeals filed in the face as the 2nd degree decision, which reversed the dismissal sentence. The value is inestimable and the requests illiquid for its unenforceability, considering that involves returning the conditions of the previous plan.

 

·       Civil Public Actions filed by ASTEL in the State of São Paulo and by the National Federation of Associations of Retired Employees, Pensioners and Members of Pension Funds in the Telecommunications Sector (“FENAPAS”), both against Sistel, the Company and other operators, in order to annul the spin-off of a PBS private pension plan, alleging, in brief, the “dismantling of the Sistel Foundation’s supplementary pension system”, which had originated a number of specific minor PBS plans mirroring, corresponding to allocation of funds arising from a technical surplus and tax contingency existing at the time of the spin-off. The amount cannot be estimated and the claims are gross because they are unenforceable, given that they involve a return to the spun-off assets of Sistel consisting of the telecommunications operators belonging to the former Telebrás System.

 

·       The São Paulo State Prosecutor’s Office (“SPSPO”) filed a public civil action claiming indemnity for moral and material damage suffered by all users of telecommunications services from 2004 to 2009 due to the poor quality of service and failures in the communications system. The SPSPO suggested that a fine of R$1 billion should be imposed. The decision handed down on April 20, 2010 was for an indemnity to be paid for damage suffered by all users registering as parties to the action. Company filed an appeal that on April,13, 2015 was judged, and by unanimous vote retired the first degree sentence to reject the demand. The prosecution appealed against the judgment of the Appeal, filed a special and extraordinary appeal. Present counterarguments to the special and extraordinary appeals. The special and extraordinary appeals were not admitted, awaiting intimation about possible an appeal by prosecutors.

 

Alternatively, if the number users registering within a year were not compatible with the extent of the damage caused, the judge determined an amount of R$60 million to be deposited in the Special Expense Fund to Indemnify Damage to Collective Interests. It is not possible to estimate the number of consumers that may apply for individual registration, or the amounts that they may claimed. The parties have appealed. The effects of the sentence are suspended. No value has been assigned in the above table on the possible risk from this public civil action because, at present, it is not possible to estimate the cost to the Company in the event of loss, and it is equally not possible to set up a provision. On April 13, 2015, the Company’s appeal was judged, and the court unanimously overturned the lower court’s conviction of the Company to pay the moral and material damage supposedly suffered by all the consumers affected by the “problems” in the services provided. The Prosecutor’s Office filed a special and extraordinary appeal and we have filed counterarguments.

 

·       The Company is a party to civil proceedings in various levels, in which individual users, consumer rights associations or Consumer Protection and Defense Program (“PROCON”) are making demands related to

services supplied, and to other cases involving miscellaneous issues in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2016, consolidated provisions totaled R$2,466,491 (R$2,146,850 at December 31, 2015).

 

 

·       TGLog is a party to a civil execution action in the 3rd Civil Court of Barueri (SP) alleging lack of payment of trade bills for transportation services. TGLog’s defense is that it made legitimate deductions from the trade bills for breaches of contract and losses caused by damage to its customers' goods transported by the plaintiff, which is also the subject of another lawsuit. At September 30, 2016, the amount was R$1,343 (R$1,022 at December 31, 2015).

 

·       The Company has received tax assessment notices related to noncompliance with the Customer Service Decree ("SAC"). We are currently litigating some actions (administrative and judicial proceedings). At September 30, 2016 the consolidated amount was R$14,207 (R$12,881 at December 31, 2015).

 

·       Intelectual Property: On November 20, 2001, Lune Projetos Especiais Telecomunicação Comércio e Ind. Ltda (“Lune”), a Brazilian company, filed an action against 23 telecommunications operators of mobile services, claiming to own the patent for caller identifier and the "Bina". The purpose of that lawsuit was to interrupt provision of such service by operators of mobile services and to seek indemnification equivalent to the amount paid by consumers for using the service.

 

The court issued an unfavorable judgment determining that the Company should refrain from selling mobile phones with caller identifier service ("Bina"), subject to daily fine of R$10,000.00 in case of noncompliance. In addition, the Company must pay indemnification for royalties to be calculated in settlement.. All parties filed motions for clarification and Lunes' sought injunctive relief as appropriate at this stage of the proceedings. Lunes filed an interlocutory appeal in relation to this decision, which granted suspensive effect to the injunctive relief and suspended the effects of the unfavorable decision until final judgment of the Appeal. that was approved on June, 30, 2016 by the 4th Chamber of the Court of Justice of the Federal District, to annul the first instance decision and refer the case to the first instance to perform a new skill pending trial. The extent of any liability that may arise from this claim cannot be determined at this point in time.

 

·       The Company and other wireless telecommunications operators, are defendants in several lawsuits filed by public prosecutors and consumer protection associations challenging imposition of a period in which prepaid minutes may be used. The complainants claim that prepaid minutes should not expire after a specific period of time. Contradictory decisions have been made by the courts, although we believe that our criteria for imposing a period determination comply with ANATEL regulations. Based on the opinion of our legal advisors, we understand the probability of the class actions having an unfavorable outcome is remote.

Possible Regulatory contingencies

 

Management and its legal advisors understand that the chances of losing the following cases involving regulatory matters may be rated 'possible':

 

·       The Company is party to administrative proceedings filed by ANATEL alleging noncompliance with the obligations set forth in industry regulations, as well as legal claims which discuss the sanctions applied by ANATEL at the administrative sphere. At September 30, 2016, the consolidated amount was R$4,796,855 (R$3,716,106 for the Company at December 31, 2015).

 

·       Administrative and judicial proceedings discussing payment of 2% charge on interconnection services revenue arising from the extension of right of use of SMP related radio frequencies. Under clause 1.7 of the authorization term that grant right of use of SMP related radio frequencies, the extension of right of use of such frequencies entails payment every two years, during the extension period (15 years) of a 2% charge calculated on net revenues from the service provider’s Basic and Alternative Plans of the service company, determined in the year before that of payment.

However, ANATEL determined that in addition to revenues from Service Plans, the charge corresponding to 2% should also be levied on interconnection revenues and other operating revenues, which is not stipulated in clause 1.7 of referred Authorization Term.

 

Based on the provisions of the Authorization Term, the interconnection services revenues should not be included in the calculation of the 2% charge for radiofrequency use right extension, the Company filed administrative and legal proceedings challenging these charged, based on ANATEL’s position.

Telefônica Brasil S. A.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Nevertheless, under the Brazilian Corporation Law (Law 6404/76, Article 166, IV) - establishes that capital may be increased by a resolution voted at a Special Shareholders’ Meeting convened to decide on amendments to the bylaws, if authorization for the capital increase limit has expired.

Capital increases do not necessarily observe the proportion between the number of shares of each class to be maintained, however the number of non-voting or restricted-voting preferred shares must not exceed 2/3 of total shares issued.

 

Preferred shares are non-voting, except for the cases set forth in Articles 9 and 10 of the bylaws, but have priority in the event of reimbursement of capital, without premium, and are entitled to dividends 10% higher than those paid on common shares, as per article 7 of the Company's bylaws and item II, paragraph 1, article 17 of Law No. 6404/76.

 

Preferred shares are also entitled to full voting rights if the Company fails to pay the minimum dividend to which they are entitled for three consecutive fiscal years and this right will be kept until payment of this dividend.

 

b) Premium on acquisition of equity interest

 

Under the accounting practices adopted in Brazil previously to the adoption of the IFRS/CPC, goodwill was recorded when shares were acquired at higher value than their carrying amount, the premium generated by the difference between the carrying amount value of shares acquired and their fair value. As of the adoption of IAS 27R (IFRS 10 since 2013)/ CPCs 35 and 36, the effects of all acquisitions of shares from non-controlling shareholders have been recorded in equity if the controlling shareholding remains unaltered. Therefore these transactions no longer generate goodwill or income and previous goodwill premiums on acquisitions by non-controlling shareholders were debited from the Company’s equity.

 

The balance of this item was R$75,388 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

c) Capital Reserves

 

c.1) Other Capital Reserves

 

This item includes the amount of R$63,074 in tax benefit arising from the absorption of Telefônica Data do Brasil Ltda., which will be capitalized in favor of the controlling shareholder once the tax credit has been recognized in accordance with CVM Instruction 319/99.

 

It also includes the amount of R$1,372,683 referring to the amount by which the issue or capital increase amount exceeds that of the basic value of the shares on the issue date, and direct costs (net of taxes) related to capital increases in the fiscal year 2015.

 

The balance of this item was R$1,435,757 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

c.2) Treasury stock

 

The Company's shares held in treasury arising from the acquisition and merger of GVTPart. shares that ended on June 30, 2015. Those holders of the Company's common and preferred shares who have expressed their disagreement with the acquisition of GVTPart. (Note 3) and absorption of GVTPart. stock by the Company for consequent conversion of GVTPart. to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have the right to withdraw from the Company and be reimbursed for the amount of the shares held by them on September 19, 2014 (including).

 

As a result of the Operation above, the Company paid R$87,805 to the shareholders who exercised their right to dissent, including those who requested the preparation of a special balance sheet, representing 2,290,989 shares, of which 2,290,164 common and 734 shares preferred.

 

The balance of this item was R$87,805 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

d) Income Reserves

 

d.1) Legal reserve

 

This reserve is set up by allocation of 5% of the year's net income within a maximum of 20% of paid-up capital. The legal reserve may only be used to increase capital and offset accumulated losses.

 

The balance of this item was R$1,703,643 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

d.2) Special Reserve for Expansion and Modernization

 

In accordance with Article 196 of Law 6404/76, based on the capital budget submitted and approved of the General Meeting of Shareholders on April 28, 2016, the Company established a special reserve of R$700,000 for expansion and modernization, which will be used to partly fund capital expenditure for the 2016 financial year.

 

The balance of this item at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was R$700,000.

 

d.3) Tax Incentives Reserve

 

In relation to ICMS tax paid in the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, the Company holds tax benefits in the form of credits granted by the competent bodies against investments it made to install supporting equipment for SMP services, which is fully functioning and operating in accordance with current regulations, thus ensuring that the localities listed in the procurement notice will be included in the SMP coverage area.

 

The portion of these tax benefits was excluded from calculations of dividends and may be used only in cases of capital increase or absorption of losses.

 

The balance of this item was R$14,432 at September 30, 2016 (R$6,928 at December 31, 2015).

 

e) Dividend and interest on equity

 

e.1) Additional dividends proposed the 2015 exercise

28) EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average of the number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the year. There were no transactions that could generate any share issues until the disclosure of consolidated quarterly financial statements; therefore, there are no adjustments of diluting effects inherent to any share issues.

On September 30, 2016, maximum limits of claims (contractually established for each company consolidated by the Company) for the main assets, liabilities or interests covered by insurance and their respective amounts were R$1,047,826 for operational risks (including loss of profit) and R$75,000 for general civil liability (locally RCG).

 

31)  SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

 

Telefónica, as the Company's parent company, has different share-based payment plans based on the share quotes, which were also offered to management and employees of its subsidiaries, including Telefônica Brasil and the latter's subsidiaries.

 

The fair value of these options is estimated on the grant date, based on a binomial pricing model reflecting terms and conditions of instruments granted.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries reimburse Telefónica for the amount of the fair value of the benefits granted to management and employees on the grant date.

 

The main plans in effect on September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are detailed below:

a)     Performance & Investment Plan (“PIP”)

Telefónica's Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 18, 2011 approved a long-term program for using Telefónica stock options to reward senior management's commitment, outstanding performance and high potential globally.

 

Participants are not required to pay for their initial stock options and may add to the number of shares to be received at the end of the plan if they decide for a joint investment in their PIP, which requires a participant to buy the equivalent of 25% of the initial shares awarded by Telefónica and hold them until the end of the cycle, when Telefónica will add another 25% on top of the initial amount of shares in their co-investment.

 

 


 
 

Telefônica Brasil S. A.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Initially, the plan is expected to remain effective for 3 years. The cycles are independent of each other. The number of shares is reported at the beginning of each cycle and will be transferred to participants 3 years after granting date if they have met their targets.

 

Issuance of shares is conditional upon: (i) maintenance of active employment relationship within the Telefónica Group on the cycle consolidation date; and (ii) achievement, by Telefónica, of results representing fulfillment of the objectives established for the plan.

 

The level of success is based on the evolution of Telefónica share earnings, including stock quotations and dividends (Total Shareholder Return - TSR) compared with the evolution of TSRs of companies in a pre-defined comparison base.

 

In 2014, the Company approved the extension of this program for another 3 cycles of 3 years each from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2017. The number of shares is informed at the beginning of the cycle and three years after granting date, and shares are transferred to participants as long as TSR targets are met.

 

The 2012-2015 cycle was completed in June 2015, achieving the TSR targets. Sixty eight (68) of the Company's executives obtained the right to receive 258,552 Telefónica shares.

 

The 2013-2016 cycle takes place in June 2016 and TSR was not achieve, therefore Telefónica shares were not delivered to the Company’s executives.

 

The following cycles have been scheduled:

 

·       4th cycle (1st October 2014 to 30th September of 2017): 58 asset managers (including two named executive under the Statute) of the Company, having the potential right to receive 236,961 shares of Telefónica (includes initial amounts and co -investment). The unit value of Telefónica's share price on the date of assignment of this cycle was Eur 12.1168.

 

·       5th Cycle (1st October 2015 the September 30, 2018): 100 active executives (including 3 appointed executives under the Statute) of the Company, having the potential right to receive 637,090 shares of Telefónica (includes initial amounts and co -investment). The unit value of Telefónica's share price on the date of assignment of this cycle was Eur 11.7994.

 

b)    Talent for the Future Share Plan (“TFSP”)

Telefónica's 2014 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting approved a long-term program to reward the commitment, outstanding performance and high potential of its executives globally by awarding Telefónica shares.

 

Participants are not required to pay for their initial options. Initially, the plan is expected to remain effective for 3 years. The cycle began on October 1, 2014 and it will be effective until September 30, 2017. The number of shares is reported at the beginning of the cycle and shares will be transferred to participants 3 years after granting date if their targets have been met.

 

Issuance of shares is conditional upon: (i) maintenance of active employment relationship within the Telefónica Group on the cycle consolidation date; and (ii) achievement, by Telefónica, of results representing fulfillment of the objectives established for the plan. The level of success is based on the evolution of Telefónica shareholder earnings, including their quotations and dividends (Total Shareholder Return - TSR) compared with the evolution of TSRs of Group companies in a pre-defined comparison base.

 

The next releases are scheduled as follows:

 

·       1st cycle (1st October 2014 to 30th September of 2017): having the potential right to receive 55,000 shares of Telefónica. The unit value of Telefónica's share price on the date of assignment of this cycle was Eur 12.1168.

·       2nd cycle (1 October 2015 to 30 September of 2018): having the potential right to receive 86,000 shares of Telefónica. The unit value of Telefónica's share price on the date of assignment of this cycle was Eur 11.7994

 

c)     Global Employee Share Plan (“GESP”)

At its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 30, 2014, Telefónica approved a plan to incentivize purchases of its shares by the Group's employees at the international level, including employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plan offers employees the possibility of acquiring Telefónica’s shares and the latter promises to transfer a certain number of its shares to participants free of charge as long as certain conditions are fulfilled.

 

Initially, the plan was expected to remain effective for 2 years. Employees enrolled in the plan were able to acquire Telefónica shares by making monthly contributions of 25 to 150 euros (or the equivalent in local currency) totaling at most 1,800 euros over 12 months (acquisition period).

 

Shares will be transferred on the plan's vesting date, as of July 31, 2017 and on these conditions: (i) remaining in the company's employment during the program's two-year duration (vesting period), subject to certain special conditions related to anybody leaving its employment; and (ii) the exact number of shares to be transferred at the end of the vesting period depends on the number of shares acquired and held by employees. Therefore, employees enrolled in the plan who have remained in the employment of Telefónica Group and have held the shares acquired for another twelve months after the end of the acquisition period will be entitled to receive an additional share free of charge for each share they have acquired and held until the end of the vesting period.

 

The expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries with the compensation plans based on actions described above, where applicable, are recorded as personnel expenses, divided in groups Cost of Services, Selling expenses and General and Administrative Expenses (Note 24).

Details of the plans shown above are the same as those disclosed in "Note 33 - Pension Plans and Other Post-Employment Benefits" in the Company's financial statements disclosed for December 31, 2015.

 

Defined benefit liabilities comprise different components depending on the characteristics of the pensions provided by each plan, and may include actuarial liabilities of supplementary pension liabilities, health care benefits for retirees and their dependents and death and incapacity compensation for participants. This liability is exposed to economic and demographic risks such as: (i) increased medical costs that could impact the cost of health care plans; (ii) salary increases; (iii) long-term inflation rates; (iv) nominal discount rate; and (v) life expectancy of participants and pensioners.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The fair value of the plans' assets mainly consists of fixed-income investments (NTNs, LFTs, LTNs, repos, CDBs, debentures, financial notes and holdings in receivables funds [FIDCs]) and equity investments (high liquidity blue chips and ETFs). Due to concentration of investments in fixed income and equity, the plans' assets are primarily exposed to risks inherent to the financial market and the economic scenario such as: (i) market risk for sectors in which investments in equities are concentrated; (ii) risk of events that impact economic environment and market indices in which equity investments are concentrated; and (iii) long-term inflation rates that may erode the profitability of fixed-income investments.

 

The administrators of the post-employment benefit plans sponsored by the Company (Visão Prev and Sistel) attempt to match the flows of assets and liabilities by acquiring fixed-income securities and other long-term assets.

 

Except for the underfunded CTB and healthcare plans - Law 9656/98, all other benefit plans currently have a surplus position. The economic benefit recorded in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries does not reflect the total surplus determined for these plans. The economic benefit recognized in 'Assets' reflects only that part of surplus that may actually be recovered. The plans' surpluses may be recovered only by reducing future contributions, and since not all plans are currently receiving enough contributions to fully recover surpluses, the economic benefit recorded in assets is limited to the total that may be recovered in accordance with projected future contributions.

 

All income and expenses related to defined benefit plans and hybrid benefit plans, such as employer contributions, costs of current services, and interest charged on net actuarial liabilities are recognized directly in the operating results of the Company and its subsidiary.

 

Actuarial gains and losses relating to defined benefit plans and hybrid benefit plans, in addition to limitations on recoverability of surpluses through future refunds or reduced contributions, are immediately recognized in Other comprehensive income and do not impact the operating results of the Company or subsidiary.

 

Consolidated balances of both underfunded and surplus plans are shown below:

33)  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

a) Derivative Transactions

 

The contracts of derivative financial instruments in the Company's mainly the purpose of foreign exchange risk protection arising from assets and liabilities in foreign currency, protection of the risk of the inflation of its debentures and lease indexed to the IPCA and protection to the risk of variation TJLP of a portion of debt with BNDES. No, derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and possible currency risks are protected (hedged).

 

Management understands that the Company's internal controls for its derivatives are adequate to control risks associated with each strategy for the market. Gains/losses obtained or sustained by the Company in relation to its derivatives show that its risk management has been appropriate.

The Company calculates the effectiveness of the derivative contracts to hedge its financial liabilities and cash flows in foreign currency at the beginning of the operation and on an ongoing basis. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the derivative instruments were effective for the objects of this coverage.

As long as these derivatives contracts qualify as hedge accounting (hedge), the risk covered may also be adjusted to fair value, offsetting the result of derivatives, according to the rules of hedge accounting. This hedge accounting applies both to financial liabilities as the probable cash flows in foreign currency

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was not holding any embedded derivatives contracts.

 

Derivatives Contracts  includes specific penalties for breach of contract. Breach of contract provided for in agreements made with financial institutions leads to the early settlement thereof.

 

a.1) Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The valuation method used to calculate the fair value of financial liabilities (if applicable) and derivative financial instruments was the discounted cash flow method, based on expected settlements or realization of liabilities and assets at market rates prevailing on balance sheet date.

 

The fair values of positions in Reais are calculated by projecting future inflows from transactions using BM&FBovespa yield curves discounting these flows to present value using market DI rates for swaps announced by BM&FBovespa.

 

The market values of foreign-exchange derivatives were obtained using the market exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date and projected market rates obtained from the currency's coupon-rate yield curves. The linear convention of 360 calendar days was used to determine coupon rates of positions indexed in foreign currencies, while the exponential convention of 252 business days was used to determine coupon rates for positions indexed to CDI rates. As for the options, it is considered the change in fair value of the same in relation to the initial premium paid.

 

Consolidated derivatives financial instruments shown below are registered with the Brazils’ OTC Clearing House (“CETIP”) and classified as swaps and options that do not require margin deposits.

For the purposes of preparing quarterly financial statements, the Company adopted the fair value hedge accounting methodology for its foreign currency swaps x CDI, IPCA x CDI and TJLP x CDI for hedging financial debt. Under this arrangement, both derivatives and hedged risk are recognized at fair value.

 

The ineffective portion at September 30, 2016 was R$1,788 (R$2,836 at December 31, 2015).

 

At September 30, 2016 and 2015, derivative transactions generated consolidated negative and positive income (net) of R$315,064 and R$1,008,343, respectively (Note 26).

 

a.2) Sensitivity analysis of the Company's risk variables

CVM Resolution 604/09 requires listed companies to comply with CPC 40 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7) by disclosing sensitivity analyses for each type of market risk that management understands to be significant when originated by financial instruments to which the entity is exposed at the end of each period, including all transactions in derivatives.

 

In making the above analysis, each of the transactions with derivative financial instruments was assessed and assumptions included a probable scenario and two others that could adversely impact the Company.

 

On the due dates of each of the transactions, the probable scenario assumed maintaining whatever trend the market had been showing through BM&FBovespa yield curves (currencies and interest rates), as well as data available at CETIP, IBGE, Central Bank, FGV, among others. In the probable scenario, there is no impact on the fair value of the above-mentioned derivatives. However, the assumptions made for scenarios II and III, as per a CVM instruction, were risk variables deteriorating 25% and 50% respectively.

 

Since the Company only holds derivatives to hedge its foreign-currency assets and liabilities, changing scenarios are tracked by the corresponding hedged items, thus showing that effects are almost non-existent. For these transactions, the Company reported the value of each hedged item and derivative on separate lines in its sensitivity analysis tables in order to show consolidated net exposure in each of the above-mentioned three scenarios at September 30, 2016.

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Quarterly ended September 30, 2016

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

For calculation of the net exposure for the sensitivity analysis, all derivatives were considered at market value and hedged items designated for hedge for accounting purposes were also considered at fair value.

The fair values shown in the table above are based on the portfolio position at September 30, 2016, but do not reflect an estimate for realization due to the dynamism of the market, which is constantly monitored by the Company. Using different assumptions could significantly affect estimates.

 

b) Fair value

 

The Company and its subsidiaries assessed their financial assets and liabilities in relation to market values using available information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, both the interpretation of market data and the selection of valuation methods require considerable judgment and reasonable estimates to produce the most adequate realization value. As a result, the estimates shown do not necessarily indicate amounts that could be realized in the current market. The use of different assumptions for the market and/or methodologies may have a material effect on estimated sale values. On September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, neither the Company not its subsidiaries detected any significant and enduring impairment of their financial instruments.

 

The fair value of all assets and liabilities are categorized within the fair value hierarchy described below, based on the lowest level of information that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:


Level 1: quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


Level 2: valuation techniques for which significant lower level of information to measure the fair value directly or indirectly observable; and


Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest and significant level of information to measure the fair value is not available.

 

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, there were no transfers between fair value measurements of level 3 and level 1 and 2.

 

The following tables show the composition of financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

c) Capital Management

 

The purpose of the Company's capital management is to ensure maintenance of a high credit rating before institutions and a good capital ratio in order to support the Company's business and maximize shareholder value.

 

The Company manages its capital structure by making adjustments and adapting to current economic conditions. For this purpose, the Company may pay dividends, arrange new loans, issue promissory notes and transactions with derivatives. For the year ended September 30, 2016, there were no changes in capital structure objectives, policies or processes.

 

In its net debt structure, the Company includes balances on loans, financing, debentures, financial leases, contingent consideration (Note 20) and transactions with derivatives (Note 33), less cash and cash equivalents (Note 4) and financial investments to secure BNB financing.

 

The Company’s ratio of consolidated debt to shareholders’ equity consists of the following:

d)   Risk Management Policy

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to several market risks as a result of their commercial operations, debts incurred to finance their business and financial instruments related to their debt.

 

d.1) Currency Risk

 

There is risk arising from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to fluctuating exchange rates, which add to costs arising from loans denominated in foreign currencies.

 

At September 30, 2016, 14.9% of financial debt was foreign-currency denominated (16.5% at December 31, 2015). The Company enters into derivative transactions (currency hedge) with financial institutions to hedge against exchange rate variation affecting its total indebtedness in foreign currency (R$1,322,155 and R$1,681,968 at September 30, 2016 and 31 December 2015, respectively). Its total debt on these dates was covered by asset positions in currency-exchange hedge transactions with CDI-rate swaps.

 

There is also foreign exchange risk for non-financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which may generate a smaller amount receivable or larger amount payable depending on the exchange rate in the period.

 

Hedging transactions were engaged to minimize the risks associated with exchange-rate variation of non-financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. This balance is subject to daily changes due to the dynamics of the business. However, the Company intends to cover the net balance of these rights and obligations (US$18,924 thousand to be receivable and €18,702 thousand to be paid by September 30, 2016 and US$32,030 thousand and €19,079 thousand to be paid by December 31, 2015) to mitigate its foreign exchange risks.

 

d.2) Interest and Inflation Risk

 

This risk arises because the Company may incur losses in the event of an unfavorable change in the domestic interest rate, which may adversely affect financial expenses resulting from the portion of debentures referenced to the CDI and liability positions in derivatives (currency hedge, IPCA and TJLP) geared to floating interest rates (CDI).

 

The debt to BNDES is indexed to the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP), which is set on a quarterly basis by the National Monetary Council. In March 2015, the National Monetary Council decided to increase the annual rate to 6.00% from April 1 to June 30, 2015. The TJLP rose 0.50 percentage points from the previous annual rate of 5.50%. In the course of 2015, the TJLP was raised to 6.5% for the period from July to September and to 7.0% for the period from October to December. In 2016, the TJLP was raised to 7.5% for the period from January to March and will remain at this level over the period from April to December.

 

Inflation risk arises from the Minas Comunica debentures of the 1st issue, which are tied to the IPCA and thus may adversely affect financial expenses in the event of an unfavorable change in this index.

 

To reduce exposure to the variable interest rate (CDI), the Company and its subsidiaries invested their surplus cash of R$5,666,067 on September 30, 2016 (R$5,103,103 at December 31, 2015), mostly in short-term CDI- based financial investments (Bank Deposit Certificates). The book values of these instruments approach their fair values, since they may be redeemed at short notice.

d.3) Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the possibility of the Company or its subsidiaries not holding sufficient funds to meet their commitments due to different currencies and dates of discharging their rights and obligations.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries structure the maturity dates of non-derivative financial contracts, as shown in Note 20, and their respective derivatives, as shown in the schedule of payments disclosed in this note, to avoid affecting their liquidity.

 

The Company's cash flow and liquidity and those of its subsidiaries are managed on a daily basis by the departments in charge to ensure that operating cash flows and previous funding, when necessary, will be sufficient to meet its schedule of commitments in order to avoid liquidity risk.

 

Below, we summarize the maturity profile for our consolidated financial liabilities as set forth in loan agreements:

d.4) Credit Risk

 

The risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses due to difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its customers and sales of prepaid handsets and cards that have been pre-activated for the distribution network.

 

The credit risk on accounts receivable is diversified and mitigated by strict control of the customer base. The Company constantly monitors the level of accounts receivable from postpaid services, and limits bad-debt risk by cutting off access to telephone lines if bills are past due. The mobile customer base predominantly uses the prepaid system, which requires loading beforehand and therefore does not pose credit risk. Exceptions are made for telecommunications services that must be maintained for security or national defense reasons.

 

Credit risk on sales of pre-activated prepaid handsets and cards is managed by a conservative policy for granting credit, using modern credit scoring methods, analyzing financial statements and querying commercial databases, in addition to requesting guarantees.

d.5) Social and Environmental Risks

 

Our operations and properties are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, among other things, governing environmental licenses and records, protection of fauna and flora, air emissions, waste management and remediation of contaminated sites, among others. If we fail to meet present and future requirements, and identify and manage new or existing contamination, we will have to incur significant costs, which include cleaning costs, damages, compensation, fines, activities suspension and other penalties, investments to improve our facilities or change our processes, or interruption of operations. The identification of environmental conditions not currently identified, more stringent inspections by regulatory agencies, the entry into force of more stringent laws and regulations or other unanticipated events may occur and, ultimately, result in significant environmental liabilities and their costs. The occurrence of any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our financial condition. According to Article 75 of Law No. 9605 of 1998, the maximum fine per breach of environmental law is R$50,000,000.00 (fifty million reais).

 

From the social point of view, we are exposed to contingent liabilities due to the fact that our structure provides for the hiring of outsourced service providers. These potential liabilities may involve labor claims by service providers which are treated as direct employees and claim joint liability resulting from overtime and occupational accidents. If we obtain unfavorable decision with respect to a significant portion of these contingencies and if we have not recognized a provision for these risks, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, if the labor authorities consider that outsourcing services involves core activities of the company, employment links may be characterized, which would significantly increase our costs and therefore subject the Company to administrative procedures, and the Company is obliged to pay penalties to third.

 

34)  COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES (LEASES)
