DE C.V. FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES CONSOLIDATED (1) Operations preparation bases and summary of significant accounting policies: Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. and its Subsidiaries ("the Company") are subsidiaries of Industrias CH, S.A. de C.V. ("ICH"), and their main activities consist of the manufacturing and sale of steel products primarily destined for the construction sector of Mexico and other countries. Significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Companies which affect the principal captions of the financial statements are described below: a. Financial statement presentation - Below is a summary of the most significant accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS), which include Bulletins and Circulars issued by the Accounting Principles Commission (CPC) of the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (IMCP) which have not been amended, replaced or abrogated by MFRS issued by the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Research and Development Board (Consejo Mexicano para la Investigacion y Desarrollo de Normas de Informacion Financiera, A.C. (CINIF). b. Principles of Consolidation - As part of the financial debt restructuring agreement into during 1997, Compania Siderurgica de Guadalajara, S.A. de C.V. ("CSG") assumed all of the debt of the Company in return for an equity interest in its subsidiaries. As a result of the above, the Company is the principal shareholder of CSG, and CSG is the principal shareholder of the other subsidiaries that Grupo Simec, S.A. de C.V. ("Simec") controlled before the restructuring. The main subsidiaries of CSG are the following: o Simec International, S.A. de C.V. o Industrias del Acero y del Alambre, S.A. de C.V. o Pacific Steel Inc. o SimRep Corporation and PAV Republic and Subsidiaries o Corporacion Aceros DM, S.A. de C.V. and Subsidiaries All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. c. Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities not greater than three months to be cash equivalent. Cash equivalents include temporary investments and Mexican Government Treasury Bonds, and are stated at market value, which approximates cost plus earned interest. Any increase in market value is credited to operations for the period. d. Inventories - Domestic subsidiaries' inventories are recorded initially at average cost under the direct costing system. Foreign subsidiaries' inventories are valued on a last-in, first-out (LIFO). For translation effects into MFRS the inventories have been adjusted from LIFO to average cost under the direct costing system. Billet finished goods and work in process, raw materials and materials, supplies and rollers - At the average cost. The Company presents as non-current inventories the rollers and spare parts, which according to historical data and production trends will not be used within a one-year period. e. Derivative financial instruments-- During 2009, 2008 and 2007 the Company used derivative financial instruments for hedging risks associated with natural gas prices for which it conducted studies on historical consumption, future requirement and commitments acquired, thus diminishing its exposure to risks other than its normal operating risks. To mitigate the risks associated with changes in natural gas prices occurring naturally as a result of the supply and demand on international markets, the Company uses natural gas cash-flow exchange contracts or natural gas swaps to offset fluctuations in the price of natural gas, whereby the Company receives a floating price and pays a fixed price. Fluctuations in natural gas prices from volumes consumed are recognized as part of the Company's operating cost. The fair value of these assets or liabilities is restated at the end of each month based on the new estimate. The Company periodically evaluates the changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument to analyze if the swaps are highly effective for mitigating the exposure to natural gas price fluctuations. A hedge instrument is considered to be highly effective when changes in its fair value or cash flows of the primary position are compensated on a regular or cumulatively basis, by changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument in a range between 80% and 125%. In 2009, 2008 and 2007 the fair value of derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting was adjusted through Statement of Income. For the derivatives that qualified for hedge accounting their fair value was adjusted through the Stockholders' equity in the caption Fair value of derivative financial instruments until such time as the related item the derivative hedges is recognized in income. At that time, the fair value included in Stockholders' equity is also recognized in income. The Company is using derivative financial instruments for hedging risks associated with natural gas prices and conducted studies on historical consumption, future requirements and commitments; thus it avoided exposure to risks other than the normal operating risks. Management of the Company examines its financial risks by continually analyzing price, credit and liquidity risks. f. Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment of domestic origin are restated by using factors derived from The National Consumer Price Index ("NCPI") from the date of their acquisition, and imported machinery and equipment are restated by applying devaluation and inflation factors of the country of origin, until December 31, 2007. Depreciation recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss) is computed based upon the estimated useful life and the restated cost of each asset. In addition, Financial expense incurred during the construction period is capitalized as construction in progress. The estimated useful lives of assets as of September 30, 2009 are as follows: Years ----- Buildings........................................... 15 to 50 Machinery and equipment ............................ 10 to 40 Buildings and improvements (Republic)............... 10 to 25 Land improvements (Republic)........................ 5 to 25 Machinery and equipment (Republic).................. 5 to 20 g. Other assets - Organization and pre-operating expenses are capitalized and their amortization is calculated by the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. h. Seniority premiums and severance payments - According to Federal Labor Law, employees are entitled to seniority premiums after fifteen years or more of services. These premiums are recognized as expenses in the years in which the services are rendered, using actuarial calculations based on the projected unit credit method, and since 1996 by applying real interest and salary increases. Any other payments to which employees may be entitled in case of separation, disability or death, are charged to operations in the period in which they become payable. i. Pension plan - Until 1995, the Company provided pension benefits for all personnel with a minimum of 10 years of service and 35 years of age. The Company had established an irrevocable trust for its contributions, which were based on actuarial calculations. In December 1995, the board of directors of the Company, in agreement with the trade union, discontinued these benefits and related contributions to the trust fund. This decision was made because of the new Mexican pension fund system, Administradoras de Fondos para el Retiro, which establishes similar benefits for the employees. The balance of the trust fund will be applied to the retirement benefits of qualifying employees until the fund is exhausted due to the irrevocable status of the fund. The Company does not have any contractual obligation regarding the payment of pensions of retirements. j. Income taxes - In 1999, the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants issued Bulletin D-4, "Accounting for Income and Asset Taxes and Employee Profit Sharing", which is effective for all fiscal years beginning January 1, 2000. Bulletin D-4 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of asset tax, income tax and employee profit sharing that result from enterprise activities during the current and preceding years. The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated tax returns of the company's parent. k. Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences - All transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of their execution or liquidation. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Any exchange differences incurred with regard to assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency are charged to operations of the period and are included in financial income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss). For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries, were translated into pesos in conformity with Mexican accounting Bulletin MFRS B-15, Transactions in Foreign Currency. The first step in the process of conversion of financial information of the operations is the determination of the functional currency, which is in first instance the currency of primary the economic surroundings of the foreign operation; nevertheless, despite the previous thing, the functional currency can differ from the premises or registry, in the measurement that this one does not represent the currency that fundamentally affects the cash flow of the operations abroad. The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were turned to Mexican pesos with the following procedure: - Applying the prevailing exchange rate at the consolidated balance date for monetary assets and liabilities. - Applying the prevailing historical exchange rate for nonmonetary assets and liabilities and for stockholders' equity accounts. - Applying the prevailing the historical exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for revenues and expenses during the reporting period. - The resulting effect of translation, the process of consolidation and to apply the participation method, is recorded in stockholders' equity under the accumulated effect by conversion forming part of the Comprehensive Income. l. Geographic concentration of credit risk - The Company sells its products primarily to distributors for the construction industry with no specific geographic concentration. Additionally, no single customer accounted for a significant amount of the Company's sales, and there were no significant accounts receivable from a single customer or affiliate at September 30, 2009 sales to five customers accounted for approximately 34% of the Republic's sales. The Company performs evaluations of its customers' credit histories and establishes and allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers and historical trends. m. Other income (expenses) - Other income (expenses) shown in the consolidated statements of operations primarily includes other financial operations.
