Effective January 1, 2013 we adopted IFRS 11 – “Joint Arrangements”, thus changing the accounting policy of participation in joint ventures to the equity method. The effects of IFRS 11 adoption have not generated significant impacts in our financial statements.

See below, reconciliation of Shareholders’ Equity and Net Income for the 2013 and 2012 years:

Below is a description of the main changes from the adoption of IFRS:

1)     Adjustment to the recoverable value of loans and advances

Impairment of loans and advances were established based on the history of losses and other information about the clients of the organization at the balance sheet date and clear evidences that show losses had occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset.

2)     Business combinations

Under IFRS, the identifiable assets and liabilities in business combinations and assets delivered as payment combinations were recognized at their fair value. Shares issued in the acquisition were recognized at their fair value on the date the control is transferred.

3)     Fair value adjustment of financial assets – equity instruments

The Organization does not have significant influence in the management of the investee, this shareholding will be designated as available-for sale and recorded at fair value on the date of transition to IFRS, the subsequent changes in fair value within Equity – “Other comprehensive income,” net of tax effects.

4)     Hedge accounting adjustments

These financial instruments were not designated as hedge instruments for IFRS purposes, and thus they were not treated as hedges for accounting purposes under IAS 39. Therefore, the amount recorded in equity under BR GAAP was reversed against retained earnings at the transition date.
