2018 MANAGEMENT REPORT
1- MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
As we expected, 2018 was another challenging year for Brazil, with a slow economic recovery and still high unemployment rates. It is true that the economic outlook was positive for just over a year, but soon in the first half the country was surprised by the general strike of the truck drivers. The shutdown, which lasted ten days, impacted the supply of basic items to the population and affected all sectors of the economy.
In the midst of this adverse scenario, it was up to CSN to do even more - and the result was positive. The company ended the year with steel stocks close to zero, the best index in years. 5.1 million tons of steel were sold, 66% of which was sold in the domestic market and 34% exported or sold through its subsidiaries abroad, even in the face of a drop in exports due to the global protectionism framework.
In the Mining sector, total production was 35.2 million tons of iron ore and the company has advanced its strategy of using the tailings filtering plant, providing less dependence on the use of the dams.
Undoubtedly, the recent events in the Mining area point to a moment of uncertainty. Thus, the early months of 2019 should still be defining the market. At CSN, we will continue to be determined and motivated in the pursuit of productivity, efficiency and safety in all areas, with the intensification of the use of new technologies - such as dry ore processing - that will allow us to always tread the path of excellence.

Chairman of the Board of Directors

The Company has a tradition of pioneering spirit and innovation as an intrinsic part of its history. CSN's Research, Development and Innovation Center has been recognized for developing new products and new solutions to the market. This represents the true essence of its activities, turning innovation into the engine powering economic growth. CSN faces the daily challenge of meeting and surprising the market.
Through the management of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents, and industrial designs, CSN seeks to ensure an adequate protection for the Company while allowing for strategic alliances and technological partnerships to stimulate the dissemination of the Company’s innovation and scientific/technological know-how.
One of the highlights of CSN's Strategic Innovation Plan is the Product Innovation project, which is based on the development of new products and new applications of Advanced High-Strength Steels in industrial scale for the automotive industry, allowing for the increase in CSN’s competitiveness through an enrichment of its product portfolio and the higher commercial sales to the market.
In addition to the development stages for the offering of new products, we highlight the Company’s ability in providing technical assistance to its clients in the varied applications possible within the industry.

ability, fully complying with the manufacturing requirements from automakers, vehicle safety, mass reduction and fuel consumption and consequently generating less gas pollution, thus minimizing environmental impacts.
The new polyphase AHSS can be classified as Ferrite-Bainite, Dual-Phase (biphasic), steels with deformation-induced transformation or TRIP-Transformation-Induced-Plasticity, Complex-Phase (CP) steels and martensitic steels obtained in continuous production lines. In addition to these lines of steel, CSN's development of Press Hardening Steel (PHS), or Hot Forming, is also worth noting as it also has a strong tendency to increase its application in automotive bodies due to the possibility of conforming complex geometries with high mechanical resistance requirements for the final product.
CSN has the technology for manufacturing pre-painted steels in its Coil Coating Line and concentrates its efforts in the development of new products and applications mainly in the white line and construction segments. This enables its clients to use new products with features that meet not only the performance and aesthetics requirements but also the optimization of the production flow by simplifying process stages resulting in cost reduction in the production chain.
CSN offers its clients innovative solutions combined with application engineering. The Company is a reference in client support for the metal sheet segment, ensuring the continuous development of new environmentally friendly products. CSN's product approval processes in the automotive and white-line segments continually leverage innovative solutions to meet the market’s growing demands.
CSN’s People Management model is based on the conviction that human capital is our competitive advantage and the best way to ensure our performance in the market where we operate. We transform knowledge into a successful trajectory, based on passion, dedication and competence that generate opportunities, achievements and recognitions.
CSN’s integrated and efficient people management is based on five pillars: Attract; Align and Engage; Evaluate; Develop; Recognize and Reward, investing in projects aimed at professional development and improvement, thereby contributing to the growth of the organization and its people.
Amidst a challenging year, we reinforced our essence of Doing Well, Doing More and Doing Always, making it alive in all processes, programs and projects of our People Management.
In order to maintain a high-performance and qualified team, the attraction, development and talent retention programs are updated yearly on several levels and aligned with our strategic guidelines. Our Recruitment & Selection policies seek to guarantee the non-discrimination in our selection processes, making it clear that the Company will not tolerate any practices contrary to our ethical values.
We carry out several actions aimed at the dissemination and development of the CSN’s Essence, such as: CSN Flix, where employees have the opportunity to watch short videos and exchange experiences to strengthen the understanding of competencies and how they are used in our work routines; Conversation Round Table between leaders and followers for better alignment with CSN’s corporate culture; Sponsorship and Trainee Mentorship to welcome new employees and trainees, respectively; Corporate Breakthrough, opening discussion spaces with our employees on the empowerment of women in the business environment.
The Company maintains diverse strategies to guarantee the recognition and to incentivize the professional development of its internal audience. One of the initiatives is called the SuperAção Program - Performance Evaluation System for all employees of the CSN Group. The results obtained guide the Individual Development Plan, allow the identification of potential successors for leadership positions and support the recognition and reward process.
Based on these results, we carry out the Career and Succession Program on an annual basis, aimed at identifying with our managers and executives, employees with succession potential for leadership positions within the CSN group. The identified employees are submitted to an accelerated development program including practical, real-world learning experiences such as knowledge building Workshops (Self-Knowledge, Leading People, Communication and Influence, and Planning and Execution), Talk Show with Senior Leaders, Learning Groups and presentation of CSN's Real Business Cases by our executives.

Thus we guarantee the continuity of our company, ensuring the continuity of our Leadership and Business model, in addition to a careful look to the career paths of our talents.
In 2018, we invested 393,066 hours in training, aimed at generating and sharing knowledge, fostering the development of the necessary competencies to achieve corporate goals and perpetuity of the business. The 70/20/10 learning model was the guideline for all the Company’s development actions, which ensures its efficiency and effectiveness.
One of our key development actions is geared towards our Trainees. The program is executed in all Business Units and is focused on preparing young individuals. This year, we ministered the following modules: Self-knowledge, Career, Relationship and Communication, PDCA Learning Methodology and Market: Efficiency, Effectiveness and Creativity. Additionally, since 2018, our trainees have been invited to develop an Application Project in an autonomous way, with a joint monitoring by a qualified tutor in their department and the Human Resources team. Thus we ensure the professional is trained with effective experiences and a business vision.
Our model aims to accelerate learning by training the talents who have the potential to occupy effective positions in the medium and long term, aligning the trainee's career and development interests with our organizational needs in addition to contributing to the country's development through education and professionalization.
Still in terms of our business evolution and our managers, we continued the School of Leaders, which was implemented in 2011, with the following modules: Relationship and Trust Management for Supervisors and Coordinators, Training of Leaders and Successors, Execution: New Perspectives for Managers and Strategic Management Focused on Results, Managing Organizational Changes and Transformations for Senior Management.
Through the continuous training and development of our leaders, we identify an important opportunity to positively impact all our employees, building a cooperative environment focused on the development of teams and on the achievement of excellent results.
The major milestone for 2018 was the implementation of the Internal Trainee Program, whose objective is to develop and empower trainees of the CSN group to generate a positive impact on the organization and increase the talent retention. The selection was done in Dec/2018 and was based on a group of 24 trainees.
The classification steps considered the presentation of the Application Project for Senior Management, where the applicability and feasibility of the Project was analyzed, as well as the sense of delivery, responsibility and knowledge of each trainee. A total of 8 trainees were selected for the program.
We established partnerships with several educational institutions for university extension and language courses, with special prices for our employees, thus further encouraging their development.
Once again, we reaffirm that we act as owners, choosing the best strategies to overcome the obstacles faced in 2018. We show that we are working together for the sustainability of the business.
CSN ended 2018 with 23,699 direct employees and 11,567 indirect employees, indicating a turnover rate of 13.2%, one of the lowest in the industrial sector.
8 - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

CSN maintains various social, environmental and sustainability management instruments in order to act in a purposeful way and meet the needs of the various stakeholders involved in the communities and businesses where it operates. The Company's sustainability practices have as main objectives the creation of sustainable values and the management of environmental risks, the optimization and efficiency in the use of natural resources and the control of potential impacts. The Company has an Environmental Management System (EMS), in compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 14001.
CSN has been maintaining several initiatives to ensure the more efficient use of water in its production processes, with highlights to the water reuse ratio above 94% at the Presidente Vargas plant (UPV). In order to reach this percentage, in 2017, CSN implemented the recirculation and cooling water system of the UPV Carbochemical Unit, consequently reducing the collection of 3,0 thousand m³/h of water from the Paraíba do Sul river. The project, in addition to increasing the water reuse ratio of the unit also eliminated any possibility of oil leakage from this unit to the Paraíba do Sul river. With the preparation of the Water Inventory in its main units, it was possible to develop plans and measures to improve their efficiency and reduce potential impacts.

CSN signed the Adjustment of Conduct Term (“TAC”) with the State of Rio de Janeiro - through the State Environment Secretary ("SEA"), the State Environmental Institute ("INEA") and the State Environmental Control Commission ("ECSC"), with one of the largest environmental investments in the steel industry. Over R$ 300 million in investments are planned for the next six years for the Presidente Vargas plant in Volta Redonda. The investment, with more than 30 improvement actions to be made at the Presidente Vargas plant, proves the company's commitment to the sustainability of its activities and to the community.
Since 2010, CSN has been undertaking an inventory of its greenhouse gas emissions in line with GHG Protocol guidelines, in order to provide input for managing carbon, mitigating risks and adapting to climate change. For the fourth consecutive year, the Company received the Gold Seal of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program for having disclosed the emissions of all its units, which were submitted to external verification. As requested by investors, the Company reports on a yearly basis, to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the guidelines it follows regarding climate change, supply chain and water resources.
Other sustainability strategies have also been adopted by the Company. Since 2012, CSN participates in the Climate Forum promoted by the Ethos Institute for Social Responsibility and participates in the work groups of the Center for Sustainability Studies (FGVces) of the São Paulo Business Administration Faculty of the Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV EAESP), an space for studies, learning, reflection, innovation and knowledge production, comprised by multidisciplinary training individuals, who work on the development of strategies, policies and tools for public and private sustainability management at local, national and international levels.
The Company’s environmental guidelines also include the monitoring of dams, used to contain tailings from the processing cycle of mining activities done by CSN Mineração. Pursuant to the dam classification by DNPM Official Notice 70.389/2017, all the Company's dams are audited by independent companies specialized in the subject, aimed at certifying the stability, or lack thereof, of the dams and identifying preventive actions to ensure their stability. The Dam Safety Plan and Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM) of CSN Mineração have been finalized with all necessary consolidated volumes, in compliance with the DNPM official letter.
The company is at the forefront of tailings treatment, with an investment of R$ 250 million in dry stacking technology, which already covers 40% of the volume of the tailings from CSN Mineração, the largest development of its kind ever made in Brazil. By the end of 2019, the Company will be dry processing 100% of its ore, discarding the use of dams for the production process.
CSN always acts in a way that minimizes the impacts of its operations, in addition to investing in environmental preservation and education initiatives, confirming its commitment to the quality of life of future generations. CSN has an important social front, the Environmental Education Program (PEA), an initiative by the Company and managed by Fundação CSN, with emphasis on the Arcos (MG) and Congonhas(MG) units, in order to reaffirm its commitment to the transformation of values and attitudes through new practices and knowledge. The environmental education project, with emphasis on issues related to historical and natural heritages, in places related to its activities, uses art as a discussion instrument among public school students, teachers and corporate employees.
Finally, CSN has been constantly mapping its stakeholders and, since 2012, the Company uses a mapping criterion to assess environmental, social and economic impacts, in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, for all its operations. The data and indicators obtained in this process allow CSN to monitor its performance and assess its exposure to social and environmental risks and future opportunities.

(Expressed in thousands of reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional “CSN”, also referred to as the “Company” or “Parent Company”, is a publicly-held company incorporated on April 9, 1941, under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, its subsidiaries, joint ventures, joint operations and associates are collectively referred to herein as the "Group”). The Company’s registered office is located in São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
CSN is listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A.- Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Accordingly, the Company reports its information to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Group's main operating activities are divided into five (5) operating segments as follows:
· Steel:
The Company’s main industrial facility is the Presidente Vargas steelworks (“UPV”), located in the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro. This segment consolidates production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers and galvanized steel. In addition to the facilities in Brazil, CSN has commercial activities in the United States and operations in Portugal and Germany, all of them are in line with the plan to achieve new markets and perform excellent services for final consumers. Its steel has been used in home appliances, civil construction and automobile industries.
· Mining:
The production of iron ore is developed in the city of Congonhas, State of Minas Gerais.
Iron ore is sold basically in the international market, especially in Europe and Asia. The prices charged in these markets are historically cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations over short periods of time, driven by several factors related to global demand, strategies adopted by the major steel producers, and the foreign exchange rate. All these factors are beyond the Company’s control. The ore transportation is accomplished by Terminal de Carvão e Minérios do Porto de Itaguai – (“TECAR”), a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals that compose the Port of Itaguai, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Imports of coal and coke are held through this terminal and directed to the steel industry of CSN. The Company´s mining activities also comprises tin exploitation, which is based in the State of Rondônia, this facility is engaged to supply the needs of UPV, with the excess of raw material being sold to subsidiaries and third parties.
The Company's mining activities utilize tailings dams for which all appropriate measures are taken to mitigate the risks inherent to the handling and disposal of the tailings and to comply with current environmental legislation. It is important to reiterate that operating without dependence on these dams is a priority in our mining activities, for which investments of around R$ 250 million in dry stacking technology have already been made. In this context, it is expected that CSN Mineração will be fully processing the tailings in the dry process by the end of 2019, subject to revision of projects and expected deadlines, proper operation of equipment and unforeseen delays. As a consequence of these measures, decommissioning of dams is the natural way of processing dry tailings.
All of our dams, both mining and hydroelectric dams, are positively certified and comply with the environmental legislation in force.
· Cement:
CSN entered in the cement market boosted by the synergy between this new activity and its existing businesses. Next to the UPV in Volta Redonda (RJ) is installed the new business unit CSN Cimentos, which produces CP-III type of cement by using slag produced by the UPV blast furnaces in Volta Redonda. It also explores limestone and dolomite at the Arcos unit, located in the State of Minas Gerais, to satisfy the needs of UPV as of the cement plant. Additionally, the operation of its second clinker production line is located in Arcos/MG. As a result, the Company is self-sufficient in the production of cement, with an installed capacity of 4.7 million tons per year.
· Logistics
Railroads:
CSN has interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística S.A., which manages the former Southeast Railway System of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A (“RFFSA”)., Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“TLSA”) and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“FTL”), which has the concession to operate the former Northeast Railway System of RFFSA, in the States of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, with TLSA being responsible for the rail links of Missão Velha-Salgueiro, Salgueiro-Trindade, Trindade-Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro-Porto de Suape and Missão Velha-Porto de Pecém (Railway System II), still under construction, and FTL being responsible for the rail links of São Luiz-Mucuripe, Arrojado-Recife, Itabaiana-Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante-Macau and Propriá-Jorge Lins (Railway System I).
Ports:

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
In the State of Rio de Janeiro, by means of its subsidiary Sepetiba Tecon S.A., operates the Container Terminal (“TECON”) and by means of its subsidiary CSN Mineração, the TECAR, both located at the Itaguaí Port. Established in the harbor of Sepetiba, the mentioned port has a privileged highway, railroad and maritime access.
(“TECON”) is responsible for the shipments of CSN´s steel products, movement and storage of containers, consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo; our exports of iron ore are performed using the TECAR terminal; additionally, we use the terminal for landing of coal, petroleum, coke, sulfur and zinc concentrate for our own operation and for third parties.
· Energy:
Since the energy supply is fundamental in CSN´s production process, the Company owns and operates facilities to generate electric power for guaranteeing its self-sufficiency.
The note 26 - “Segment Information” details the financial information per each of CSN´s business segment.
· Going Concern
In 2018, the Company amortized principal and interest in the approximate amount of R$7.1 billion of its loans and financing. In 2019, loans and interest to be incurred next year, are expected to be paid in the approximate amount of R$3.5 billion. The financial leverage may adversely affect the businesses, financial conditions and operating results. Which can entail the following considerations:
· Allocation of a substantial part of the cash generated from operations for repayment of the borrowings.
· Exposure (i) to fluctuations in interest rates due to the renegotiation of debts and new borrowings taken, and (ii) fluctuations in exchange rates since a significant part of the borrowings is denominated in foreign currency.
· Increase in the economic and financial vulnerability due to adverse conditions of the industry and segment, limiting the funds available in the short term, considering the high financial leverage and the expected cash disbursements;
· Limitation of the Company’s ability to enter into new businesses (acquisitions) until the financial leverage is reduced;
· Limitation of the Company’s ability to obtain new credit lines under more favorable interest conditions due to the risks associated to the current financial leverage.
The Company’s ability to continue operating depends, therefore, on the achievement of operating targets defined by management, in addition to refinancing of contracted debts, and/or actions related to financial deleveraging.
In addition to the continuous focus on improvement in operating income, management has various actions in progress to increase the Company’s liquidity through an extension of borrowing payment terms.
This plan was started in 2015, with the renegotiation of R$ 2.5 billion with Caixa Econômica Federal and R$ 2.2 billion with Banco do Brasil S.A, postponing the maturities from 2016 and 2017 to 2018 through 2022. In 2016, the Company extended the installments of certain NCE contracts amounting to R$ 100 million and
Page 33
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
prepayments of US$ 66 million with Bradesco, postponing the maturities from 2016 to 2019. Always committed to the plan to extend it debt payment term, mainly those of short term, the company’s management concluded, in February 2018, the reprofile of its debts at R$ 4.98 billion with Banco do Brasil, extending the maturity dates from 2018 to 2022 for maturities up to 2024. Still in February 2018, the company issued debt instruments (“Notes”) in the amount of US$350 million through our wholly-owned subsidiary CSN Resources S.A., with maturity date in 2023 and, in conjunction, made a repurchase offer (“Tender Offer”) of the Notes previously issued by CSN Islands XI Corp and CSN Resources S.A, having been repurchased US$350 million in Notes with maturities scheduled for 2019 and 2020.
Additionally, Management studies alternatives to financial deleverage from the disposal of non-strategic assets. However, it is not possible to affirm that the sale of assets will occur within a 12-month period. Thus, the Company did not segregate and did not reclassify any assets in the financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with CPC 31 (IFRS 5).
Based on management’s cash flow projections that covered the operational period until December 2019, which depend on factors such as the achievement of production targets, sales volumes and prices, as well as on renegotiations of borrowings, management believes that the Company has appropriate resources to continue its operations in a reasonably estimable period of time. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were prepared based on the assumption of going concern.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.a) Basis of preparation and declaration of conformity
The consolidated and parent company financial statements have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil in compliance with Brazilian Corporate Law, pronouncements, guidelines and Interpretations issued CPC (Accounting Pronouncements Committee), approved by CVM, besides the own rules issued by CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and highlight all the relevant information of the financial statements, and only this information, which correspond to those used by the Company's management.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and CPC requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. It is disclosed in the notes to this report all subjects involving a high degree of judgment or complexity, or when assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, those subjects are related to the allowance for doubtful debts, provision for inventory losses, provision for labor, civil, tax, environmental and social security contingences, depreciation, amortization, depletion, provision for impairment, deferred taxes, financial instruments and employee benefits. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The financial statements are presented in thousands of Brazilian reais (R$). Depending on the applicable IFRS standard, the measurement criteria used in preparing the financial statements considers the historical cost, net realizable value, fair value or recoverable amount. When the IFRS and the CPC allows us an option between acquisition cost and other measurement criteria, the acquisition cost was the criteria used.
The consolidated and parent company interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 20, 2019.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we have adopted the following consolidation procedures:
· Transactions between subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and joint operations
Unrealized gains on transactions with subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of CSN’s equity interests in the related entity by the consolidation process. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same manner as unrealized gains, although only to the extent that there are not indications of impairment. The Company eliminates the effect on profit or loss of transactions carried out with joint ventures and, as a result, reclassifies part of the equity in results of joint ventures to financial expenses, cost of sales and income tax and social contribution.
The base date to the financial statements of the subsidiaries and joint ventures is the same as of the Company, and their accounting policies are also in line with the policies adopted by the CSN.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) which financial and operating policies can be conducted by the Company and when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are actually exercisable or convertible are taken into consideration when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date when the control is transferred to the Company and are deconsolidated from the date when such control ceases.
Joint ventures and joint operations
Joint arrangements are all entities over which the Company has joint control with one or more other parties. The investments in joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor.
Joint operations are accounted for in the financial statements in order to represent the Company's contractual rights and obligations. Therefore, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to its interests in joint operations are accounted for individually in the financial statements.
Joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method and are not consolidated.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The Company eliminates the effect on profit or loss of transactions carried out with joint ventures and, as a result, eliminates part of the equity in results of joint ventures to financial expenses, cost of sales, net sales and income tax and social contribution.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control, generally through a shareholding percentage from 20% up to 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
· Transactions and non-controlling interests
The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with owners of the Company. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of subsidiary net assets is recorded in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recognized directly in shareholders' equity.
When the Company no longer holds control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest in an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Company had disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.c) Parent company financial statements
In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for by the equity method. To get the same result and equity attributable to equity holders in parent company and consolidated financial statements, are made in both financial statements, the same practice of adjustments upon adoption of IFRS and CPCs.
2.d) Foreign currencies
i. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are related to each one of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.
ii. Transactions and balances
According CPC 02 – The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions or valuations when their values are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from the translation at exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2018 related to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when they are recognized in shareholders' equity as a result of foreign operation characterized as foreign investment.
According CPC 02 and ICPC 21 – foreign currency transactions and advance consideration, the transactions in which the Company recognizes a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability involving prepayments or receipts in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate of the date the entity initially recognized (transaction date) the non-monetary asset or non-current liability monetary.
Page 38
|

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The balances of assets and liabilities are translated by exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2018, US$1 is equal to R$3.8748 (R$3.3080 at December 31, 2017) and €1 is equal to R$4.4390 (R$3.9693 at December 31, 2017), according to the rates obtained from Central Bank of Brazil website.
All other foreign exchange gains and losses, including foreign exchange gains and losses related to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents, are presented in the income statement as financial income or expenses.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency, classified as available-for-sale, are segregated into exchange differences related to the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Exchange differences related to amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognized in shareholders' equity.
Exchange differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on the fair value. Exchange differences on investments classified as available-for-sale are included in comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.
iii. Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group’s entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
· The assets and liabilities of each balance sheet presented are translated by exchange rate at the end of the reporting period;
· The income and expenses of each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates at the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect at the transaction dates);
· All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component in other comprehensive income; and
· Gains and losses accumulated in shareholders' equity are included in the income statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed or sold.
2.e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in bank accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments redeemable within 90 days from the end of the reporting period, readily convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank certificates of deposit and government securities that do not meet the above criteria are not considered cash equivalents and are classified as financial investments, according to note 5.
2.f) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value, including the related taxes and expenses, being foreign currency-denominated trade receivables are adjusted at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. The accounts receivable with a receipt period of more than 90 days are subject to a present value adjustment and analysis regarding the operation.

Version: 1 |
With the adoption of the new CPC 48 - Financial instruments, the Company started to apply the new model of expected losses, where it considers all possible loss events over the life of its receivables. These expected credit losses are estimated according to the loss rate by maturity range adopted by the Company since the initial (recognition) date of the asset.
The Company considers customer history, default rate, financial situation and the position of its legal advisors to estimate the expected credit losses.
2.g) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method on the acquisition of raw materials. The costs of finished goods and work in process comprise raw materials, labor and other direct costs (based on the normal production capacity). Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The allowance for estimated losses on slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary.
Stockpiled ore inventories are accounted for as processed when removed from the mine. The cost of finished goods comprises all direct costs necessary to transform stockpiled inventories into finished goods.
2.h) Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss as operating income (or expenses). In the case of foreign exchange differences arising on translating foreign investments that have a functional currency different from the Company’s, changes in investments due exclusively to foreign exchange differences, as well as adjustments to pension plans and available-for-sale investments that impact the subsidiaries’ shareholders' equity, are recognized in line item “Cumulative translation adjustments”, in the Company’s shareholders' equity, and are only recognized in profit or loss when the investment is disposed or written off due to impairment loss. Other investments are recognized at cost or fair value.
When necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
2.i) Business combination
The acquisition method is used to account for on each business combination conducted by the Company. The consideration transferred by acquiring an entity is measured by the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, where applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss for the year, as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.
2.j) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation or depletion and any impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method based on the remaining economic useful economic lives of assets, as mentioned in note 10. The depletion of mines is calculated based on the quantity of ore mined. Land is not depreciated since their useful life is considered indefinite. However, if the tangible assets are mine-specific, that is, used in the mining activity, they are depreciated over the shorter between the normal useful lives of such assets and the useful life of the mine. The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacement, and consequently reducing the carrying amount of the part that is replaced if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied therein will revert to the Company, and if the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. All other disbursements are expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs related to funds obtained for construction in progress are capitalized until these projects are completed.

Version: 1 |
If some components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, these components are accounted for in separate line items of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the sale value less the residual value and are recognized in ‘Other operating income (expenses)’.
Exploration expenditures are recognized as expenses until the viability of mining activities is established; after this period the subsequent development costs are capitalized. Exploration and valuation expenditures include:
· |
Research and analysis of historical data related to area exploration; |
· | Topographic, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; |
· | Determine the mineral asset’s volume and quality/grade; |
· | Examine and test the extraction processes and methods; |
· | Topographic surveys of transportation and infrastructure needs; |
· | Market and financial studies; |
The development costs from new mineral deposits or from capacity expansion in mine operations are capitalized and amortized using the produced (extracted) units’ method based on the probable and proven
ore quantities.
The development stage includes:
· |
Drillings to define the ore body; |
· |
Access and draining plans; |
· |
Advance removal of overburden (top soil and waste material removed prior to initial mining of the ore body) and waste material (non-economic material that is intermingled with the ore body). |
Stripping costs (the costs associated with the removal of overburden and other waste materials) incurred during the development of a mine, before production commences, they are capitalized as part of the depreciable cost of developing the property. Such costs are subsequently amortized over the useful life of the mine based on proven and probable reserves.
Stripping costs in the production phase are included in the cost of the inventory produced, except when a specific extraction campaign is made to access deeper deposits where ore body is located. In these cases, costs are capitalized and taken to noncurrent assets when the mineral ore deposit is extracted and are amortized over the useful life of the ore body.
The Company holds spare parts that will be used to replace parts of property, plant and equipment and that used to increase the asset’s useful life when it exceeds 12 months. These spare parts are classified in property, plant and equipment and not in inventories.
2.k) Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise assets acquired from third parties, including through business combinations.
These assets are recognized at cost of acquisition or formation, less amortization calculated on a straight-line basis on the exploration or recovery periods estimated.
Mineral rights acquired are classified in line item ‘’other assets’’ in intangible assets.
Page 41

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill based on expected future profitability are not amortized.
· Goodwill
Goodwill represents the positive difference between the amount paid and/or payable for the acquisition of a business and the net fair values of the acquiree´s assets and liabilities. Goodwill on acquisitions from business combination is recognized as intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. In the parent company statements, goodwill is included in investments. The gain on purchase is recognized as a gain in profit for the period at the acquisition date. Goodwill is annually tested for impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the CGU sold.
Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made to CGUs or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, and if that unit is not greater than the operating segment.
· Software
Software licenses purchased are capitalized based on the costs incurred to purchase the software and make it ready for use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives in up to 10 years.
2.l) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets with infinite useful lives, such as goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are annually tested for impairment. Assets subject to amortization and/or depreciation, such as property, plant and equipment, are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized at the amount at which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and its value in use. For impairment testing purposes, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (Cash Generating Units, or CGUs). Non-financial assets, except for goodwill, are subsequently reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the reporting date.
2.m) Employee benefits
i. Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is as a post-employment benefit plan whereby an entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity (pension fund) and will not have any legal or constructive obligation to pay additional amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the periods during which services are provided by employees. Contributions paid in advance are recognized for an asset since it is agreed that either cash reimbursement or future reduction on payables will flow back to CSN. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that is expected to mature twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employee provides services are discounted to their present values.
Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation regarding defined pension benefit plans is calculated individually for each plan by estimating the value of the future benefit that the employees accrue as return for services provided in the current period and in prior periods; such benefit is discounted to its present value. The discount rate is the yield presented at the end of the reporting period for top line debt securities whose maturity dates approximate the terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations and which are denominated in the same currency as the one in which it is expected that the benefits will be paid. The calculation is made annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit for the Company, the asset to be recognized is limited to the total amount of any unrecognized costs of past services and the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of future plan reimbursements or reduction in future contributions to the plan. The present value of economic benefits is calculated taking into account the funding requirements applicable to the Company’s plans. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan or upon settlement of the plan’s liabilities.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The Company and some of its subsidiaries offered a postretirement healthcare benefit to its employees. The right to these benefits is usually contingent to their remaining in employment until the retirement age and the completion of the minimum length of service. The expected costs of these benefits are accumulated during the employment period, and are calculated using the same accounting method used for defined benefit pension plans. These obligations are annually valued by qualified independent actuaries.
When the benefits of a plan are increased, the portion of the increased benefit related to past services of employees is recognized in profit or loss until the benefits become vested. When benefits became vesting rights, all actuarial gains or losses are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
The Company recognizes all actuarial gains or losses resulting from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive income. If the plan is extinguished, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.
ii. Profit sharing and bonus
Employee profit sharing and executives’ variable compensation are linked to the achievement of operating and financial targets. The Company recognizes a liability and an expense substantially allocated to production cost and, where applicable, to general and administrative expenses when such goals are met.
2.n) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and it has reliable cost estimation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best value estimation required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). Success fees are accrued to the extent that they make it probable that disbursements will occur. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is probable that reimbursement will be received and that the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
2.o) Concessions
The Company has governmental concessions to provide the following types of services: railway and port transportation managed by Company´s subsidiaries and joint-ventures. The concessions included in the consolidated financial statements are related to the rail network in the Northeast area, managed by the subsidiary FTL, the container terminal in Itaguaí, managed by the subsidiary Sepetiba Tecon and the port terminal TECAR for exporting ore and importing coal, which is managed by the subsidiary CSN Mineração.
The Company´s concession contracts are not within the scope of the international interpretative standard ICPC01/IFRIC12 – Service Concession Arrangements, considering that the grantor (refers to the
Page 43
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
government) has effectively no control over what, to whom and at what price the services will be provided by the dealer (refers to the private part) to the customers. In essence, all concession contracts have operating leasing characteristics. Therefore, the accounting should follow the accounting rules applicable to leases, according CPC 06 - Leases. Our concession agreements provide for the use of a specific asset for an agreed period of time, but without any transfer of ownership to the Company or option to buy these assets after the completion of these contracts.
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the contracts.
There are assets related to our concessions which are subject to reversion to the grantor at the end of the concession agreement.
The residual carrying amounts of these assets on December 31, 2018 are listed below with an indication of their classification in our financial statements:
Concession |
Net book value (R$) |
|
Classification in balance sheet | ||
Sepetiba Tecon S.A. (TECON) |
347 |

(1) |
Investment |
(1) The amount of fixed and intangible assets is recognized in TLSA’s financial statements. The Company recognizes its interest in the assets under the equity method.
2.p) Share capital
Common shares are classified in shareholders' equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in shareholders' equity as a deduction to the amount received, net of taxes.
When any Company of the Group buys Company shares (treasury shares), the amount paid, including any directly additional costs (net of income tax), is deducted from shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Company until the shares are canceled or sold. When these shares are subsequently sold, any amount received, net of any directly attributable additional transaction costs and the related income tax and social contribution effects, is included in shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Company.
2.q) Revenue recognition
As of January 1, 2018, CPC 47 was adopted by the Company, all assets are recorded according to the respective practice.
Operating revenue from the sale of goods in the normal course of business is measured at the fair value of the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the delivery of the good or service promised to the client.
Revenue recognition occurs when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the good or service to the customer, understanding that performance obligation is an enforceable promise in a contract with a customer for the transfer of a good / service or a series of goods or services.
Page 44
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The transfer is considered to be effected when or as the customer obtains control of that asset.
If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the value thereof can be reliably measured, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of the operating revenue as sales are recognized.
Freight export services under the CFR (Cost and Freight) and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) modalities, where the Company is responsible for the freight service, are considered separate services and therefore a separate obligation, with their allocation apart of the price of the transaction and with recognition of the service over time. Such revenue allocated to freight does not significantly affect the results of the Company's fiscal year and, therefore, it is not presented separately in the financial statements. For other services rendered, revenue is recognized based on its realization.
2.r) Financial income and financial expenses
Financial income includes interest income from funds invested (except available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income not accounted for under the equity method, gains on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on derivative instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss under the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established. Distributions received from investees accounted for under the equity method reduce the investment value.
Financial expenses comprise interest expenses on borrowings, dividends on preferred shares classified as liabilities, losses on the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognized in financial assets, and losses on derivative instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are measured through profit or loss under the effective interest method.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
2.s) Income tax and social contribution
Current income tax and social contribution are calculated based on the tax laws enacted by the end of the reporting period, including in the countries where the Group entities operate and generate taxable profit. Management periodically assesses the positions taken in the tax calculations with respect to situations where applicable tax regulations are open to interpretations. The Group recognizes provisions where appropriate, based on the estimated payments to tax authorities. The income tax and social contribution expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they are related to business combinations or items recognized directly in shareholders' equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on taxable profit or loss for the year at tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to taxes payable in relation to prior years.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and does not affect either the accounting or taxable profit or loss, and differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures when it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Moreover, a deferred tax liability is not recognized for taxable temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of goodwill. The deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to be applied on temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Page 45
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
Current income tax and social contribution are carried at their net amounts by the taxpayer, in liabilities when there are amounts payable or in assets when prepaid amounts exceed the total amount due at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same entity subject to taxation.
A deferred income tax and social contribution asset is recognized for all tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Annually, the Company reviews and verifies the existence of future taxable income and a provision for loss is recognized when the realization of these credits is not likely.
2.t) Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic earnings/loss per share are calculated by means of the profit/loss for the year attributable to owners of the Group and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the related period. Diluted earnings/loss per share are calculated by means of the average number of shares outstanding, adjusted by instruments potentially convertible into shares, with diluting effect, in the reported periods. The Group does not have any instruments potentially convertible into shares and, accordingly, diluted earnings/loss per share are equal to basic earnings/loss per share.
2.u) Environmental and restoration costs
The Company recognizes a provision for the recovery costs and fines when a loss is probable and the amounts of the related costs can be reliably measured. Generally, the period when the provision for recovery is recognized coincides with the end of a feasibility study or the commitment to adopt a formal action plan.
Expenses related to compliance with environmental regulations are charged to profit or loss or capitalized, as appropriate. Capitalization is considered appropriate when the expenses refer to items that will continue to benefit the Group and that are basically related to the acquisition and installation of equipment to control and/or prevent pollution.
2.v) Research and development
Research expenditures are recognized as expenses when incurred. Expenditures on project developments (related to the design and testing stages of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when it is probable that projects will be successful, based on their commercial and technological feasibility, and only when the cost can be reliably measured. When capitalized, development expenditures are amortized from the start of a product commercial production, on a straight-line basis and over the period of the expected benefit.
2.w) Financial instruments
As of January 1, 2018, CPC 48 was adopted by the Company, all assets and liabilities are recorded according to the respective practice.
i) Financial assets
Page 46
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: assets measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. Assets are classified according to the definition of the business plan adopted by the Company and the characteristics of the cash flow of the financial asset.
· Recognition and measurement
The Company classifies, at initial recognition, its financial assets into three categories: i) assets measured at amortized cost ii) fair value through profit or loss and iii) fair value through other comprehensive income.
· Amortized cost
Assets measured at amortization cost must be measured if both of the following conditions are met: i) the financial asset is maintained within the business plan whose objective is to maintain financial assets for the purpose of receiving contractual cash flows ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows that exclusively constitute payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, the Company shall recognize its interest income, exchange gains and losses and impairment directly in the income statement
· Fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets should be measured at fair value through profit or loss only if they are not measured as assets measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company must recognize its interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment, and other net income are recognized directly in income.
· Fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets shall be measured at fair value through comprehensive income only when the following conditions are met: i) the financial asset is maintained within a business plan whose objective is achieved by the receipt of contractual cash flow and by the sale of financial assets, ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, in specific dates and interest on the value of the outstanding principal.
The assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified into two categories: i) debt instruments in which the interest income calculated using the effective interest method, the foreign exchange gains and losses and the impairment are recognized in the statement of income. Other net income is recognized directly in the Company's equity, in "other comprehensive income". In derecognition, the accumulated result in other comprehensive income is reclassified to income, ii) equity instrument these assets are measured subsequent to the fair value. The dividends are recognized as a gain in profit or loss, unless the dividend represents a clear recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net income is recognized directly in the Company's equity in "other comprehensive income" and is never reclassified to income.
The fair values of publicly quoted investments are based on current purchase prices. If the market for a financial asset (and for instruments not listed on a stock exchange) is not active, the Company establishes the fair value by using valuation techniques. These techniques include the use of recent transactions contracted with third parties, reference to other instruments that are substantially similar, analysis of discounted cash flows, and option pricing models that make maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at the trading date on which the Company undertakes to buy or sell the asset.
· Derecognition of financial assets
Page 47
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred, in the latter case, provided that the Company has transferred significantly all risks and rewards of ownership.
If the company holds substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it must continue to recognize the financial asset.
ii) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified under the following categories: financial liability at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss. Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities at the time of initial recognition.
· Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
The Company shall classify all its financial liabilities as amortized cost, except financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss, derivative liabilities, collateral agreement.
Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The interest expenses, gains and losses are recognized in the income statement.
The Company holds the following non-derivative financial liabilities: borrowings, financing and debentures and trade payables.
· Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities classified in category fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or those designated at the time of initial recognition.
Derivatives are also classified as trading securities, and thereby are classified so, unless they have been designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains and losses on financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss
· Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are written off only when they are extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the agreement is settled, canceled or expires. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
iii) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts as well as the intention to either settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
iv) Derivative instruments and hedging activities
· Derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date when a derivative contract is entered, thereafter
Page 48
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
they are subsequently measured at their fair value and any changes are recognized as “Financial income (expenses)” in the income statement.
· Cash flow Hedge
The Company adopts hedge accounting and designates certain financial liabilities as a hedging instrument of a foreign exchange risk associated to the cash flows from forecast, highly probable exports (cash flow hedges).
At the inception of the transaction, the Company documents the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items.
The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated and qualifying as cash flow hedge is recognized on equity, in line item "Hedge accounting”. Any gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in other operational income/expenses, if applicable.
The amounts accumulated in equity are realized in operational result in the periods when the forecast exports affect the result.
When a hedging instrument expires, is settled in advance or the hedging relationship no longer meets the hedge accounting criteria, or even when Management decides to discontinue hedge accounting, all cumulative gains or losses recorded in equity at the time remain recognized in equity and, from that moment, the exchange variations are recorded in the financial income/expenses. When the forecast transaction is completed, the gain or loss is reclassified to operational result. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in shareholders’ equity is immediately transferred to the income statement, in line item “Other operational”.
The movements in the hedge amounts denominated as export cash flow hedges are shown in note 13 – Financial Instruments.
· Net investment hedge
For net investment hedge, the Company designates part of its financial liabilities as hedging instruments of its overseas investments with functional currencies other than the Group’s functional currency, according to CPC38/IAS39. Such relationship occurs since the financial liabilities are related to the investments in the amounts required for the effective relationship.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged item.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge is recognized in equity in line item “Hedge Accounting”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in other operating, when applicable. If at some point of the hedging relationship the balance of the debt is higher than the balance of the investment, the exchange variation on the excess debt will be reclassified to the statement of profit or loss as an other operating income / expenses (ineffectiveness of the hedge).
The amounts accumulated in equity will be realized in the statement of profit or loss upon disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.

Version: 1 |
The changes in the amounts of hedge denominated as Net investment hedge are shown in note 13 – Financial Instruments.
2.x) Segment information
An operating segment is a component of the Group committed to the business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with any other components of the Group. All the operating results of operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Executive Officers of CSN to enable decisions regarding resources to be allocated to the segment and assessment of its performance. The Company maintains distinct financial information for the distinct segments.
2.y) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply to the conditions attaching to them and assurance that the grants will be received, so then they will be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants are intended to compensate.
The Company has state tax incentives in the North and Northeast regions, which are recognized in profit or loss as a reduction of the corresponding costs, expenses and taxes.
2.z) Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Noncurrent assets and groups of assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is recovered mainly through a sale transaction and not through continued use.
The criteria for classification of items held for sale are considered to be met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the balance sheet.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs through disposal, or when the transaction meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale if this occurs earlier. A discontinued operation is a component of a Group business which comprises operations and cash flows that may be clearly distinct from the rest of the Group and represent a separate business line or geographical area of operations.
The result of discontinued operations is presented in a single amount in the income statement, including the total income after income tax of these operations, less any impairment loss.
2.a.a) Statement of value added
Pursuant to Law 11,638/07, the presentation of the statement of value added is required for all publicly-held companies. These statements were prepared in accordance with CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added, approved by CVM Resolution 557/08. The IFRS does not require the presentation of this statement and for IFRS purposes is presented as additional information.
The statement of value added should highlight the wealth generated by the Company and demonstrate its distribution.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The following standards and interpretations have been issued and will be mandatory for subsequent accounting periods, that is, as of January 1, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and were not early adopted by the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018:
Standard |
Main items introduced by the standard |
Effective date |
IFRS16 – Leases |
This new standard defines the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and introduces a single model for the accounting of leases in the balance sheet for the lessees. A lessee recognizes a right of use asset that represents his right to use the leased asset and a lease liability that represents his obligation to make lease payments. Optional exemptions are available for short-term leases and low-value items. For lessors, accounting treatment remains practically the same, with the classification of leases as operating leases or financial leases.
IFRS 16 replaces existing lease standards, including IAS 17 / CPC 06 (R1) - Leasing operations and ICPC 03 (IFRIC 4, SIC 5 and SIC 27) - Complementary aspects of leasing operations |
January 1, 2019 |
IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
Can be unclear how tax law applies to a particular transaction or circumstance. This interpretation complements the CPC 32/ IAS 12 – Income Tax, clarify how to reflect the effects of uncertainty over income tax treatments. |
January 1, 2019 |
The Conceptual framework for financial reporting
|
Review of the Conceptual Framework by establishing a comprehensive set of concepts for guidance on financial performance reporting; better definitions and guidelines, highlighting the definition of a liability; and clarification in relevant areas. |
January 1, 2020 |
IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts |
It establishes a more complex model for recognizing an insurer's revenue because it is based on a discounted cash flow model, adjusted for this insurance contract portfolio and also for a contractual service margin. |
January 1, 2021 |
The following information presents the possible impacts on the adoption of IFRS16/CPC06 – Leases and IFRIC 23/ ICPC 22 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, which were available at the time of the preparation of these financial statements. In this way, these preliminary assessments and their potential impacts are subject to change until the initial adoption is disclosed in the 2019 financial statements.
· IFRS 16 – Leases
IFRS 16 / CPC 06 (R2) aims to unify the accounting model of the lease, requiring lessee to recognize the assets and liabilities of all leases at present value, unless it has the following characteristics that are in the scope exemption from the rule: (i) contract with a term of not more than twelve months; and ii) has a low value or is based on variable values.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The Company concluded that with the adoption of the standard, we will have a reduction in operating expenses and an increase in financial expenses, once the asset "right of use" is amortized and the lease liability is updated to reflect the consideration to be paid over the contract period.
The standard is applicable as from January 1, 2019, the Company opted to apply the modified retrospective approach, recognizing the cumulative effect as an adjustment in the opening balance.
The Company estimates the impact of R$23 million in the parent company and R$578 million in the consolidation in the initial recognition of the right of use and lease liabilities.
· IFRIC 23/ ICPC 22 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
This interpretation is intended to clarify how the company should evaluate the uncertainties in accounting for income taxes when the applicable legislation is not clear.
The company evaluated current events and the accounting treatment applied in each situation in the light of this interpretation, we concluded that IFRIC 23 does not have effects arising from tax positions adopted that may be challenged by the Brazilian tax authorities.

(*) In December 2018, the Company reclassified the balances from 2017 related to Dividends receivable, Employee Debits and Other Receivables to Other Current and Non-Current Assets. Previously, the amounts were presented in the note ‘Accounts Receivable’.
(1) Refers to the excess of judicial deposit originated by the 2009 REFIS (Tax Debt Refinancing Program). After the settlement of the tax debt refinancing program, the amount related to one of the lawsuits was fully redeemed through a judicial authorization.
(2) Refers mainly to PIS / COFINS, ICMS recoverable and income and social contribution taxes to be offset. On September 20, 2018, the writ of mandamus and special appeal filed in 2006, in which CSN and Federal Union were parties, related to the discussion about the non-inclusion of ICMS in the calculation base of PIS and COFINS, confirmed the CSN's right to offset the amounts unduly paid under these taxes from 2001 to 2013. In this way, the Company recognized in 2018 the amount of R$ 2,208,462, under "Taxes recoverable", being in the current assets R$ 793,516 and in the noncurrent R$ 1,414,945 and in the "Other Operating" account, was recognized the amount of R$ 1,102,365, see note 25, and R$ 1,106,097 as "Financial Result", see note 24.
(3) Long-term iron ore inventories that will be used after the construction of the processing plant, which will produce pellet feed, expected to start operating in the first half of 2020.
(4) This is a fixed amount, certain and due, arising from the res judicata favorable decision to the Company, which is irreversible and irrevocable, in order to apply the STJ's consolidated position on the subject, which culminated in the conviction of Eletrobrás to the payment of the correct interest and monetary adjustment of the Compulsory Loan. The res judicata decision, as well as the certainty about the amounts involved in the liquidation of the sentence (judicial procedure to request the satisfaction of the right), allowed the conclusion that the entry of this value is certain.
(5) In 2018, the Parent Company received the amount of R$ 1,334,244 from the subsidiary CSN Mineração S.A., as dividends from prior years.
(6) Refers to payment of freight expenses and marine insurance on unrecognized sales revenues, following the guidelines of CPC 47 / IFRS15, the freight in incoterms "CIF" is considered a distinct performance obligation and for these, there’s no conclusion about the delivery process in December 31, 2018, but the transport service provider had already been paid.
9 INVESTMENTS
· Reduction of financial leverage
With the primary objective of reducing the Company’s financial leverage, Management is committed to a plan to dispose of a set of assets, however, it is not possible to confirm that the sale within a period of 12 months is highly probable for any of the assets contemplated. The Company considers several sales scenarios that vary according to different macroeconomic and operational assumptions. In this context, the Company did not segregate and did not reclassify such assets in the financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with CPC 31 (IFRS 5).

In addition, CSN, as an investor, performed an impairment test of its stake in TLSA, through TLSA ability to distribute dividends, methodology known as Dividend Discount Model, or DDM, to remunerate the capital invested by shareholders.

· The flow of dividends was obtained from the TLSA nominal cash flow;
· The flow of dividends was calculated considering the annual percentages of participation, considering the dilutions of the CSN’s stakes due to the amortization of debts;
· This flow of dividends was discounts at present value using cost of equity (Ke) embedded in the WACC rate of TLSA; and
· This Ke obtained was the one calculated in the “rolling WACC” of TLSA.
Due to the sharing of investors risks, and by the fact that the asset that is being tested represents the cash-generating unit itself, which is equal to the legal entity, the risk determined by CSN Management is the same applied by TLSA when the evaluation of their own investments, not applying an additional risk fator to the model.
As a result, it was not necessary to recognize an impairment in the surplus-value of the investments in the year ended on December 31, 2018.

(3) Refers to the goodwill based on expectations for future profitability, resulting from the acquisition of Namisa by CSN Mineração, an operation that was concluded in december 2015. From 2016, the balance started to tested annually for impairment analysis.
The impairment testing of the goodwill and the trademark include the balance of property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating units and also the intangible. The test is based on the comparison between the actual balances and the value in use of those units, determining based on the projections of discounted cash flows and use of such assumptions and judgements as: growth rate, costs and expenses, discount rate, working capital, future Capex investment and macroeconomic assumptions observable in the market.
The main assumptions used in calculations of value in use at December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Discount rate |
For Metal packaging, flat steel and mining, these cash flows were considered using a discount rate after taxes between 5% and 13% p.a. in |
(*) Refer to assets of subsidiary Lusosider, located in Portugal. The discount rate was applied on the discounted cash flow prepared in Euros, the functional currency of this subsidiary.
(**) Refer to assets of subsidiary FTL – Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A.
For the subsidiary SWT, the measurement of recoverable value was based on fair value and classified as Level 3, based on unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use for pricing, including risk assumptions and discount rate.
Based on the analyses conducted by Management, it was not necessary to record losses by impairment to those assets for the year ended on December 31, 2018.

13 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
I - Identification and measurement of financial instruments
The Company enters into transactions involving various financial instruments, mainly cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and borrowings and financing. The Company also enters into derivative transactions, especially interest rate and foreign exchange rate swaps.
Considering the nature of these instruments, their fair value is basically determined by using Brazil’s money market and mercantile and futures exchange quotations. The amounts recognized in current assets and current liabilities have immediate liquidity or short-term maturity, mostly less than three months. Considering the maturities and characteristics of such instruments, their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.
· Classification of financial instruments
With the implementation of pronouncements CPC 48/ IFRS9, the classification of financial instruments: held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale were replaced by three categories of classification and measurement of financial instruments: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (VJORA) and fair value through profit or loss (VJR).

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Includes observable inputs in market such as interest rates, exchange etc., but not prices traded in active markets.
There are no assets and liabilities classified as level 3.
II – Investments in financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
During the application of IAS 39/CPC 38 until December 2017, the Company has investments in equity instruments, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, because the nature of the investment is not included in any other categories of financial instruments (loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss).
Gains and losses arising from the variation of the share price were recorded directly in shareholders' equity under the account "Other comprehensive income" and for each significant decrease in market value an impairment loss was recognized in the statement of income.
With the implementation of the pronouncement IFRS 9 / CPC 48 as from January 1, 2018, the equity instruments classified as held-to-maturity should be classified as fair value through profit or loss (VJR). In this way, the Company reclassified the investments in common (USIM3) and preferred (USIM5) shares of Usiminas (“Usiminas Shares”), from fair value through other comprehensive income (VJORA) to fair value through profit or loss. In relation to Panatlântica shares (PATI3), currently classified as (VJORA), the Company based on its current business model, whose objective is to maintain this financial asset to obtain contractual cash flows, but adopts the option to reclassify it to VJR, recognizing changes in fair value in profit or loss.
Accordingly, the credit balance accumulated in December 2017 in other comprehensive income of R$1,559,682 was reclassified to the statement of income from the effective date of the new standard. With the new classification, changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income, whose movement occurred until December 31, 2018 generated a gain of R$ 96,133 and a cumulated gain of R$ 1,655,813 (See opening below and note 24).

· Share market price risks
The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the price of the shares due to the investments, valued at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income that have their prices based on the market price on the stock exchange (B3).
III - Financial risk management
The Company follows strategies of managing its risks, with guidelines regarding the risks incurred by the company. The nature and general position of financial risks are regularly monitored and managed in order to assess the results and the financial impact on cash flow. The quality of counterparties’ hedging instruments and the credit limit are also periodically reviewed.
The market risks are hedged when it is considered necessary to support the corporate strategy or when it is necessary to maintain a level of financial flexibility.
Under the terms of the risk management policy, the Company can manage some risks by using derivative instruments not associate to any speculative deals or short sales.
13.a) Foreign exchange and interest rate risks
· Exchange rate risk
The exchange rate risk arises from the existence of assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars or Euros since the Company's functional currency is substantially the Real that is called natural currency exposure. Net exposure is the result of offsetting the natural currency exposure by hedging instruments adopted by CSN.
The consolidated net exposure as of December 31, 2018 is as follows:

· Cash flow hedge accounting
Beginning November 1, 2014, the Company formally designated cash flow hedging relationships to protect highly probable future cash flows against US dollar fluctuations.
In order to better reflect the accounting impacts of this foreign exchange hedging strategy on its profit, CSN designated part of its US dollar-denominated liabilities as a hedging instrument of its future exports. As a result, foreign exchange differences arising on translating the designated liabilities will be temporarily recognized in shareholders’ equity and allocated to profit or loss when such exports are carried out, which will allow recognizing the US dollar impact on liabilities and exports concurrently. Note that adopting hedge accounting does not entail contracting any financial instrument. As of December 31, 2018 the Company designated for hedge accounting US$2,076,045 in exports to be carried out between January, 2019 to February, 2023.
To support these designated amounts, the Company prepared formal documentation indicating how hedging is aligned with the goal and strategy of CSN’s Risk Management by identifying the hedging instruments used, the hedging purpose, the nature of the hedged risk, and showing the expected high effectiveness of the designated relationships. The designated debt instruments total an amount equivalent to the portion of future exports. Thus, the exchange differences on translating the instrument and the hedged item are similar. According to the Company’s accounting policy, continuous assessments of the prospective and retrospective effectiveness must be carried out by comparing the designated amounts with the expected amounts, approved in Management’s budgets, and the actual export amounts.
Through hedge accounting, the exchange gains and losses of the debt instruments do not immediately affect the Company’s profit or loss except to the extent that exports are carried out.
The table below shows a summary of the hedging relationships as of December 31, 2018:

IV - Fair values of assets and liabilities as compared to their carrying amounts
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in current and non-current assets and liabilities, and any gains and losses are recognized as financial income or financial expenses, respectively.
The amounts are recognized in the financial statements at their carrying amounts, which are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. The fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts, except the amounts below.
The estimated fair values for certain consolidated long-term borrowings and financing were calculated at prevailing market rates, taking into consideration the nature, terms and risks similar to those of the recorded contracts, as below:

(1) The Company taxes the foreign exchange differences on a cash basis to calculate income tax and social contribution.
The Company has foreign subsidiaries in its corporate structure, for which profits are taxed at income tax in the countries where they are domiciled by lower rates than those prevailing in Brazil. From 2013 up to 2018 such foreign subsidiaries generated profits amounting to R$ 1,150,443. If for some reason tax authorities understand that these profits are subject to additional taxation in Brazil in respect of income tax and social contribution, which if due, would total R$ 366,847.

The Company, based on its legal counsel’s opinion, assessed the likelihood of loss in a potential claiming by tax authorities which resulted in a possible risk of loss and, therefore, no provision was recognized in the financial statements.
15.c) Income tax and social contribution Impairment test – deferred tax assets
The Company's management constantly evaluates the ability to use its tax credits. In this direction, CSN periodically updates a technical study to demonstrate if the generation of future taxable profits support the realization of tax credits and, consequently support the accounting recognition of tax credits, the maintenance on the balance sheet or the constitution of a provision for loss in the realization of these credits.
This study is prepared at Entity level, in accordance with the Brazilian tax legislation, and is performed considering the Parent company’s projections, which is the entity that generates a significant amount of tax credits, mainly, temporary differences. The parent company covers the following businesses:
• Steel Brazil (Steel); and
• Cement;
The deferred tax assets on tax losses and temporary differences refers mainly to the following:
|
Nature |
Description |
|
Tax losses |
In recent periods, the Company started to incur tax losses at the parent company level, mostly because of high financial expenses, since it holds substantially all loans and financings of CSN group and presented a taxable income in 2018. |
Temporary differences |
Foreign exchange differences |
Since 2012 the Company opted for the taxation of exchange differences on a cash basis. As the Parent Company has operated without taxable profit (at the parent company level), it would not make sense to use this deductibility year by year (accrual basis). As a result of the cash basis tax treatment, taxes are only due, and expenses are only deductible at the time of debt settlement.
|
Losses on Usiminas shares |
The losses on Usiminas shares are recognized on an accrual basis, but the taxable event will occur only at the time of divestment. | |
Other provisions |
Various accounting provisions are recognized on an accrual basis, but their taxation occurs only at the time of its realization, such as provisions for contingencies, impairment losses, environmental liabilities, etc.
|
The study prepared is based on the Company business plan of on a long-term basis, reasonably estimated by management and considered several scenarios which vary according to different macroeconomic and operating assumptions.
The model for projection of taxable profit considers two main indicators:
· Pre-Tax Profit, reflecting our projected EBITDA plus depreciation, other income and expenses and financial income (expenses); and
Page 88
|
| |
Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
· Taxable Profit, which is our pre-tax profit plus (minus) expenses and income items that are taxable at a time different from the time obtained on an accrual basis (temporary differences).
In addition, a sensitivity analysis of tax credits utilization considering a variation in macroeconomic assumptions, operational performance and liquidity events took place.
A significant aspect to be considered in the analysis is the fact that CSN has presented recent tax losses mainly due to the deterioration of the Brazilian political and macroeconomic environment, as well as the growth of its financial leverage. These two aspects combined led to an unbalance between the financial and operating results of the Parent company.
Within this context, the Company works with a business plan to rebalance between the financial and operating results of the Parent company, whose main measures are:
· Expansion of disinvestment efforts;
· Reduction of financial leverage;
· Improvement in operating results due to increased sales volume, better prices of its products and efficiency in controlling production costs and
· Reprofiling of the Parent company's indebtedness, with negotiations to extend the amortization periods and decentralization of debt through redirection of contracts to subsidiaries according to the nature and application of resources.
With the aforementioned measures already in execution, the Company's management expects to retake high profitability rates. Accordingly, management considers that the gradual recognition of tax credits, using at first a time period of projections of less than 10 years, better reflects the expectation of utilization of the credits recognized in the Company's tax books. As a result of the study, the Company reversed R$ 971,972 of the loss recorded in previous years, presenting until 2018 credits recognized in the amount of R$ 298,571 in the Parent Company and a debit of R$ 250,334 in the Consolidated.
15.d) Income tax and social contribution recognized in shareholders' equity:
The income tax and social contribution recognized directly in shareholders' equity are as follows:

The provision for tax, social security, labor, civil and environmental liabilities was estimated by management and is mainly based on the legal counsel’s assessment and only proceedings for which the risk is classified as probable loss are accrued. Additionally, this provision includes tax liabilities resulting from lawsuits filed by the Company, subject to SELIC (Central Bank’s policy rate).
Tax lawsuits
The main tax lawsuits assessed by the outside legal counsel as probable losses which CSN or its subsidiaries are parties are as follows: (i) Municipal tax assessments (ISS) incident in lease contracts; (ii) Tax Forfeiture to collect ICMS reported but not paid; (iii) Consignment action for payment of social security contributions; (iv) collection of income tax and social contribution for the offset of nonexistent tax credits.
Labor lawsuits
As of December 31, 2018, the Group is a defendant in 7,665 labor lawsuits. Most of the claims relate to subsidiary and/or joint liability, salary equalization, health hazard premiums and hazardous duty premiums, overtime pay, health care plan, indemnity claims resulting from alleged occupational diseases or on-the-job accidents, breaks between working hours, and differences in profit sharing from 1997 to 1999 and from 2000 to 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2018 there were addition or write-off movements in labor lawsuits arising from the definite conclusion and the constant revision of the Company’s accounting estimates related to the provision for contingencies that take into consideration the different nature of the claims made, as required by the Company’s accounting policies.
Civil lawsuits
Among the civil lawsuits in which the Company is a defendant are claims for compensation. Generally, these lawsuits result from on-the-job accidents, occupational diseases and contractual litigation related to the industrial activities of the Group, real estate actions, healthcare plan.
Environmental lawsuits
The environmental administrative/judicial proceedings filed against the Company include mainly administrative proceedings for alleged environmental irregularities and the regularization of environmental permits; at the judicial level, the Company is a party to actions collecting the fines imposed for such alleged environmental irregularities and public civil actions claiming regularization coupled with compensation, in

most cases claiming environmental recovery. In general, these proceedings arise from alleged impacts to the environment related to the Company’s industrial activities.
The environmental processes present high complexity for estimating the amount at risk, should be taken into consideration, among various aspects, procedural development, the extent of damage and the projection of repairing costs.
There are other environmental processes for which it is not yet possible to assess the risk and contingency value due to the aforementioned complexity estimation, the peculiarities of the matters involving them and also their procedural steps. The main processes of environmental nature are listed below:
· In 2010, CSN signed a Term for Undertaking (“Termos de Ajustamento de Conduta” or “TAC”) with the State of Rio de Janeiro to study and make investments to update environmental control equipment at the steel plant UPV. In the TAC it was initially estimated investments in the amount of R$216 million, increased to R$260 million after the cost of projects was determined more precisely. In 2013 we signed an addendum to the TAC in order to enlighten certain issues, as well as to include further obligations established by the State Environmental Institute (“Instituto Estadual do Ambiente” or “INEA”), which resulted in additional investments of R$165 million, already made. The TAC signed in 2010 expired in 2015 and CSN, the State of Rio de Janeiro and INEA signed a new TAC in April 2016, which determined new investments amounting to R$178.5 million to adopt measures of adequacy at UPV, the payment of environmental fines of R$16 million and the amount of R$6.1 million as a compensatory measure to be applied in environmental programs in Volta Redonda. UPV was authorized to fully operate during the period the TAC 03/2016 is in force by the environmental authorization nº IN034283 (“Autorização Ambiental de Funcionamento” or “AAF”).
Within the context of the TAC 03/2016, upon the expiration of the environmental authorization, a renewal of the authorization was issued in 12/07/2017 by the Deliberation CECA/CFL nº 6.141 (“AA”) under the nº IN042958, published in the Diário Oficial of the state of Rio de Janeiro (“DO”) in 12/08/2017, page 13, allowing the full operation of UPV for 180 days which will expire on June 20, 2018, which, by the Deliberation CECA nº. 6,189 dated 06/19/2018, published in the DO of 06/20/2018, extended for 90 days the period of validity of AA to operate the UPV, that is, until September 20, 2018.
During this period, the Company continued discussions with the Environmental Authorities of the State of Rio de Janeiro with a view to the consensual solution to the environmental issues of the plant, and on September 19, 2018, it was published in the Diário Oficial of the State of Rio de Janeiro (“DO”) by the deliberation CECA/CLF nº 6,216 of 09/18/2018, authorizing the conclusion of a new TAC between the Company and the State of Rio de Janeiro - through the Secretary of State for the Environment (“Secretaria do Estado do Meio Ambiente” or “SEA”), INEA and the State Commission of Environmental Control (“Comissão Estadual de Controle Ambiental” or “ECSC”), thereby maintaining the full operation of UPV. In parallel, INEA issued the Environmental Authorization for Operation ("AAF") nº. IN 002019, valid until October 2024, whose purpose is to authorize the regular operation of the UPV during compliance with TAC 07/2018.
This new TAC 07/2018 contemplates investments of approximately R$ 303 million in environmental projects and actions in the region up to August 2024 and represents a commitment of the Company to the sustainability of its activities, with the communities of Volta Redonda and the region, as well as with the generation of value to its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
· In July 2012, the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro, (“Ministério Público do Estado do Rio de Janeiro” or “MPE/RJ”) and the Public Federal Ministry (“Ministério Público Federal” or “MPF”) filed a separate public civil action in the state and Federal Courts alleging, in existence of supposed contaminated area in the Condominium Volta Grande IV. In view of the conflict of jurisdiction to judge actions, the Superior Court of Justice (“Superior Tribunal de Justiça” or “STJ”) declared the jurisdiction of the Federal Court to prosecute and judge such actions. In brief, the MPF maintains that the company should (i) remove wastings left in industrial landfill areas in the city of Volta Redonda and (ii) transfer 750 residences of the Volta Grande IV condominium, also in the city of Volta Redonda. These requirements were denied by the Court, which determined the presentation of a schedule to investigate the area and, if necessary, to remediate the potential issues raised by the MPF. The aforementioned schedule was presented and all the surveys performed during the investigation including the risk assessment and intervention plan were concluded in April 30, 2014. Also, there are actions initiated by owners of the residential condominium mentioned above to be reimbursed for material and moral damages, not yet judged.

· In January 2014, it was distributed an Annulment Action with the purpose of declaring the nullity of an Assessment Notice issued by INEA for the alleged contamination of the soil and groundwater in the Volta Grande IV Condominium. The penalty was a simple fine, in the amount of R$ 35 million. The request for the preliminary suspension of the chargeability of the debt was not assessed, which is why INEA filed a Tax Enforcement Action. Declared connection between actions. An application for suspension of the procedure was filed until the conclusion of the investigation in the ACP Volta Grande IV.
· With regards to other supposedly contaminated areas in Volta Redonda, the Public Ministry initiated three public civil actions claiming for environmental remediation and indemnification related to certain areas denominated Marcia I, II, III and IV, Wandir I and II and Reciclam. Regarding the latter, the definition from the responsible part to produce evidences still depends. These claims are at initial stage and we are currently performing environmental studies that will determine the extent of possible environmental damages related to soil contamination, as well as the action plan to fulfill with the legislation in force. As soon as the studies are concluded, they will be presented and added to the pleadings.
· In 2015, the Public Federal Ministry initiated a public civil action against us claiming for the adequacy and regularization for the emission of particles from the UPV and the stoppage of its operations. In accordance with CONAMA Resolution n. º 436/2011, we have to adjust the emission of particles to match to the current legal standards required by December 2018, which should be compatible with the schedule of actions and measures foreseen in TAC 07/2018.
· In 2016, we were mentioned in public civil action proposed by the Public Federal Ministry and the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro in relation to a supposedly irregular waste deposit in the landfill area named "Aterro Panco". The claimings are for the recovery of degraded areas, compensation for damages to fauna and flora and to human health, as well as indemnification for material and moral damages caused to the environment. Due to the nature of this action and to the current stage of the pleading, this action is still considered as inestimable.
· In 2004, the Public Federal Ministry initiated a public civil action against us for a supposedly environmental contamination and pollution of the Paraíba do Sul river supposedly caused by our industrial activities of UPV. The second federal regional court maintained the condemnation previously given and reinforced the obligation of the Company to compensate eventual environmental damages. We appealed to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), which accepted the appeal and determined the pleading to return to the previous stage to resume the process.
· A civil investigation is ongoing to assess (i) the environmental requisites to our project in the city of Arcos (cement plant); (ii) monitoring and mitigation of the environmental impacts of our productive activities; (iii) conformity of the conditions our our environmental licenses, including the creation of a museum in Corumbá ecological station and the establishment of a Private Reserve of the Natural Heritage; and (iv) measures for preservation of the cultural heritage and adoption of compensatory measures. In February 2011 a Term of Undertaking was signed (“TAC”) to assure the fulfillment of the obligations raised by the Public Ministry. The Ministerial Board has issued a clearance certificate to the major part of the TAC, except for two pending items that still remain open.
· In 2009 and 2010, we signed Judicial Agreements (“TAJ”) with the Public Federal Ministry to recover environmental liabilities caused by our coal mining activities in the Southeast of Santa Catarina until the 90’s. The environmental liabilities reached by the TAJ include the restoration of certain degraded areas. In March 2018, the parties renegotiated a new agreement, with the extension of the construction schedule until 2030, which was legally approved on 06/06/18, and is in compliance by the Company.

· In July 2018, the Company and Harsco Metals ("Harsco"), a contracted company, were named in a new public civil action jointly filed by the Federal Public Ministry and the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro, due to the irregular deposit of waste (steel slag) in the area called "Patio Volta Grande". The decision issued established a certain limitation in the monthly dispatch of the slag to the said yard, reduction of the height of the piles and removal of the excess of the stored material. The Company and Harsco have been looking for alternatives to solve this problem and are working on a plan of action with a feasible schedule, due to the concern with the impacts that can be generated by the abrupt removal of the yard material within the deadline established in the preliminary decision
· In January 1995, in the Municipality of Volta Redonda/RJ (“MVR”), the ACP was filed claimed to CSN to comply with 26 items of Compensatory Environmental Programs. After the dispute, the parties entered into Transaction (1995), establishing CSN's effective obligations, as well as environmental compensation, ratified in court by judgment. The Municipality of Volta Redonda disagreed about the approved agreement and in 2015 the process of liquidation of unfulfilled obligations was initiated. On December 27, 2018, a new agreement was signed between CSN and the MRV, to put an end to the legal dispute, through reciprocal concessions from the parties, with the MVR expressly waiving the right on which the lawsuit is based and to CSN an additional investment in the amount of R$ 21 million, with 30% of this amount being allocated to services of environmental interest, preservation works, improvement and recovery of the quality of the environment of Volta Redonda.
· In August 2017, CSN initiated an annulment action against the tax assessment notice that imposed a fine on CSN (R$ 22,038,856.09 – updated until January/19), for alleged pollution of the water of the Paraíba do Sul River, with discharge of effluent from the ETE of Blast Furnace # 2, due to accident occurred on 11/27/2010. The enforceability of the fine is suspended by virtue of an injunction granted in a writ of mandamus until final decision of the appeal phase that discusses the guarantee offered to the court (suitable guarantee) for the grant of guardianship.In relation to the mining activities matters, due to the accident involving a Brazilian mining company in November 2015, the State of Minas Gerais initiated several civil investigations based on the inventory of tailing dams of the State released in 2014. Those procedures have the scope of ascertaining those structures that do not have technical stability guaranteed by an external auditor or whose stability has not been attested due to a lack of documents or technical data.
· In March 2016 we were mentioned in a public civil action proposed by the State of Minas Gerais and by the State Environmental Foundation (“Fundação Ambiental do Estado” or “FEAM”) questioning the stability of the structure of our tailing dam known as “BAIA 4” – a small structure built within the industrial area and used to collect particles generated during the process of ore filtration. That process was filed before the defense takes place due to out-of-date information. CSN was able to prove that BAIA 4 structure was steady which led to the filing of the action, by the author himself. In August 2016, we were mentioned in a similar public civil action in relation to the dam structure known as “Dique do Engenho” (Engenho dam). We presented the documentation to the State authorities to prove the stability and safety of the Engenho dam. We expect this action be filed, for the same reasons as previous one.
· Other administrative and judicial proceedings
The table below shows a summary of the carrying amounts of the main legal matters with possible risk of loss and the amounts on December 31, 2018 and 2017.

(1) The Contingency was written off as a result of a final favorable decision by CARF, which recognized as certain the use of tax loss carryforwards used in the installment plan established by MP 470.
(2) Homologation to the Secretary of Finance and General Advocacy of the State of Minas Gerais with the benefits brought in the Tax Regularization Program - "New Regularize", established by Law 22,549 / 2017.
(3) We reclassified the contingency related to this judicial process (ACP TAC-PAC nº 0000689-17.1995.8.19.0066) to remote, due to the conclusion of an agreement between CSN and the Municipality of Volta Redonda (MVR) on 12/27/2018, which will put an end to the legal dispute, through reciprocal concessions from the parties, and the MVR expressly waives the right on which the action is based and to CSN the additional investment in the amount of R $ 21 million, and 30% services of environmental interest, preservation works, improvement and recovery of the quality of the environment of Volta Redonda
(4) On April 8, 2013, INEA imposed on CSN a fine of R$ 35 million in respect of the aspects involving the Volta Grande IV condominium, determining that the actions already considered and discussed in the civil suit filed in July 2012. In connection with the application of this fine, an annulment action was distributed, in January 2014, to the 10th Civil Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro, seeking the annulment of the fine and its effects. In parallel, INEA filed a tax enforcement action in order to enforce the amount of the fine imposed. The aforementioned Tax Enforcement action was distributed in May 2014 to the 4th Volta Redonda Active Debt Registry in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Currently, said enforcement action is suspended until the judgment of the annulment action, in order to avoid conflicting decisions.
The assessments made by the legal counsel define these administrative and judicial proceedings as entailing risk of possible loss and, therefore, no provision was recorded in conformity with Management’s judgment and accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

18.a) Environmental liabilities
As of December 31, 2018, there is a provision recognized for expenditures relating to environmental investigation and recovery services for potentially contaminated areas surrounding establishments in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina. Estimated expenditures will be reviewed periodically and the amounts already recognized will be adjusted whenever necessary. These are Management’s best estimates based on the environmental remediation studies and projects. This provision is recognized as other operating expenses.
The provision is measured at the present value of the expenditures required to settle the obligation, using a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation. The increase in the obligation due to passage of time is recognized as other operating expenses.
The discount rate used to calculate the provision to present value through December 31, 2018 was 10.54% in real terms. The liability recognized is periodically updated based on the general market price index (IGP-M) for the period.
Some contingent environmental liabilities are monitored by environmental department were not recorded in provisions due to its characteristics, they do not meet the recognition criteria present in CPC 25.
18.b) Asset retirement
Asset retirement obligations refer to estimated costs for decommissioning, retirement or restoration of areas upon the termination of activities related to mining resources. The initial measurement is recognized as a liability discounted to present value and subsequently through increase in expenses over time. The asset retirement cost equivalent to the initial liability is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the asset, being depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
In 2015, the Company completed a new certification of iron mineral reserves in the Casa de Pedra and Engenho mines. This certification, prepared by a specialized company, has certified reserves of 3,021 million tons of iron ore.

(1) Refers to non-inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, see note nº8.
(2) Refers to the contractual amendment with the jointly-owned subsidiary MRS, for the revision of the “Anual Transportation Plan”.
(3) This is a net amount, certain and due, arising from the final judicial decision favorable to the Company, which is irreversible and irrevocable, in order to apply the STJ's consolidated position on the subject, which culminated in sentencing the Eletrobrás to the payment of the correct interest and monetary correction of the Compulsory Loan. The final judicial decision, as well as the certainty about the amounts involved in the settlement of the judgment (judicial procedure to request the satisfaction of the right), allowed the conclusion that the right to receive this value is certain. Thus, in line with our legal and accounting advisors, we recognize the credits in noncurrent assets against the result of Other Operating Revenues. The monetary adjustment of 2018 is presented in the note nº25 - Financial Income (Expenses).

26 SEGMENT INFORMATION
According to the Group´s structure, the businesses are distributed and managed in five operating segments as follows:
· Steel
The Steel Segment consolidates all the operations related to the production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers and galvanized steel, with operations in Brazil, United States, Portugal and Germany. The Segment supplies the following markets: construction, steel containers for the Brazilian chemical and food industries, home appliances, automobile and OEM (motors and compressors). The Company’s steel units produce hot and cold rolled steel, galvanized and pre-painted steel of great durability. They also produce tinplate, a raw material used to produce metallic containers.
Overseas, Lusosider, which is based in Portugal, produces cold rolled steel and galvanized steel. CSN LLC in the U.S.A. meets local market needs, import and export of steel products. In January 2012, CSN acquired Stahlwerk Thüringen (SWT), a manufacturer of long steel located in Unterwellenborn, Germany. SWT is specialized in the production of shapes used for construction.
In January 2014 the production of long steel products started in Brazil and consolidates the company as a source of complete construction solutions, complementing its portfolio of products with high value added in the steel chain.

· Mining
This segment encompasses the activities of iron ore and tin mining.
The high quality iron ore operations are located in the Iron Quadrilateral in Minas Gerais, which has its own mines and sells third party iron ore.
At the end of 2015, CSN and the Asian Consortium formalized a shareholders' agreement for the combination of assets linked to iron ore operations and the related logistics structure, forming a new company that has focused in mining of the Group activities from December 2015. In this context, the new company, currently named CSN Mineração S.A., holds the TECAR arraignment, the Casa de Pedra mine and all the shares of Namisa, which was incorporated on December 31, 2015. CSN still owns 100% of Minérios Nacional which includes the mines of Fernandinho (operational), Cayman and Pedras Pretas (mineral resources), all located in Minas Gerais.
Moreover, CSN controls the Estanho de Rondônia S.A., company with mining units and tin casting, in the state of Rondonia.
· Logistics
i. Railroad
CSN has equity interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística, which manages the former Southeast Network of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A. (RFFSA), Transnordestina Logística S.A. and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A., which has the concession to operate the former Northeast Network of the RFFSA in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas.
a) MRS
The railroad transportation services provided by MRS are fundamental to the supply of raw materials and the shipment of final products. The total amount of iron ore, coal and coke consumed by the Presidente Vargas Mill as well as part of the steel produced by CSN for the domestic market and for export are carried by MRS.
The Southeast Brazilian railroad system, encompassing 1,674 kilometers of tracks, serves the tri-state industrial area of São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro-Minas Gerais, in the southeast region, linking the mines located in Minas Gerais to the ports located in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and the steel mills of CSN, Companhia Siderúrgica Paulista, or Cosipa, and Gerdau Açominas. Besides serving other customers, the railroad system carries iron ore from the Company’s mines in Casa de Pedra, Minas Gerais, and coke and coal from the Itaguaí Port, in Rio de Janeiro, to Volta Redonda, and carries CSN’s export products to the ports of Itaguaí and Rio de Janeiro.
b) TLSA and FTL
TLSA and FTL hold the concession of the former RFFSA’s Northeast Network. The Northeast Network totals 4,238 km, divided into two sections: i) Network I, which comprises the São Luiz–Mucuripe, Arrojado–Recife, Itabaiana–Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante–Macau–Recife, and Propriá–Jorge Lins (Network I); and ii) Network II, which comprises the Missão Velha–Salgueiro, Salgueiro–Trindade, Trindade– Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro–Porto de Suape, and Missão Velha–Porto de Pecém sections.
The Network links up with the main ports in the region, offering an important competitive advantage by means of opportunities for combined transportation solutions and logistics projects tailored to customer needs.
II. Port Logistics
The Port Logistics Segment consolidates the operation of the terminal built in the privatization period after the law of modernization of the ports (law 8.630/1993) that permits to transfer the port logistics activities to the private sector. The Sepetiba terminal features complete infrastructure to meet all the needs of exporters, importers and ship owners. Its installed capacity exceeds that of most other Brazilian terminals. It has mooring berths and a huge storage area, as well as the most modern and appropriate equipment, systems and intermodal connections.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The Company’s constant investment in projects in the terminals consolidates the Itaguaí Port Complex as one of the most modern in Brazil.
· Energy
CSN is one of the largest industrial consumers of electric power in Brazil. As energy is fundamental in its production process, the Company invests in assets for generation of electric power to guarantee its self-sufficiency. These assets are as follows: Itá hydroelectric power plant, in the State of Santa Catarina, with rated capacity of 1,450 MW, where CSN has a share of 29.5%; Igarapava hydroelectric power plant, Minas Gerais, with rated capacity of 210 MW, in which CSN holds 17.9% of the capital; and a thermoelectric co-generation Central unit with rated capacity of 238 MW, which has been operating at the UPV since 1999, that uses the residual gases produced by the steel mill itself.
· Cement
The cement division consolidates the cement production, distribution and sale operations, which use the slag produced by the Volta Redonda plant’s blast furnaces.
In the second half of 2016, the Company started the operation of a new clinker furnace in Arcos/MG, where the Company already operates a clinker furnace using its limestone of a company-owned mine and also two cement mills in additions to the mills that already operate in Volta Redonda/RJ.
The information presented to Management regarding the performance of each business segment is generally derived directly from the accounting records, combined with some intercompany allocations.
· Sales by geographic area
Sales by geographic area are determined based on the customers’ location. On a consolidated basis, domestic sales are represented by revenues from customers located in Brazil and export sales are represented by revenues from customers located abroad.
· Result by segment
Beginning 2013, the Company no longer proportionately consolidates joint ventures MRS and CBSI. For segment information preparation and presentation purposes, Management decided to maintain the proportionate consolidation of the joint ventures, as historically presented. For consolidated profit reconciliation purposes, the amounts of these companies were eliminated in the column “Corporate expenses/elimination”.

· Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is the main measurement based on which the chief operating decision maker assesses the segment performance and the capacity to generate recurring operating cash, consisting of profit for the year less net financial income (expenses), income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization, equity in results of affiliated companies, results of discontinued operations and other operating income (expenses), plus the proportionate EBITDA of joint ventures.
Even though it is an indicator used in segment performance measurement, EBITDA is not a measurement recognized by accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS, it does not have a standard definition, and may not be comparable with measurements using similar names provided by other entities.
As required by IFRS 8, the table below shows the reconciliation of the measurement used by the chief operating decision maker with the results determined using the accounting practices:

27 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The pension plans granted by the Company cover substantially all employees. The plans are administered by Caixa Beneficente dos Empregados da CSN (‘CBS”), a private non-profit pension fund established in July 1960 which has as members the employees (and former employees) of the Company and some subsidiaries who joined the fund through an agreement, and the employees of CBS itself. The Executive Officers of CBS is formed by a CEO and two other executive officers, all appointed by CSN, which is the main sponsor of CBS. The Decision-Making Board is the higher decision-making and guideline-setting body of CBS, composed by the president and ten members, six chosen by CSN, and four elected by the fund’s participants.
Until December 1995, CBS Previdência administered two defined benefit plans based on years of service, salary and Social Security benefits. On December 27, 1995 the then Private Pension Secretariat (“SPC”) approved the implementation of a new benefit plan, effective beginning that date, called Mixed Supplementary Benefit Plan (‘Mixed Plan”), structured in the form of a variable contribution plan that was discontinued on September 16, 2013. As of that date, all new employees must join the CBSPrev Plan, structured in the defined contribution modality, created also in September 2013.
As of December 31, 2018 CBS had 34,985 participants (35,176 as of December 31, 2017), of whom 20,872 were active contributors (20,734 as of December 31, 2017), 13,454 were retired employees (13,587 as of December 31, 2017), and 659 were related beneficiaries (855 as of December 31, 2017). Out of the total participants as of December 31, 2018, 11,063 belonged to the defined benefit plan, 11,845 to the mixed plan, 1,028 to the CBSPrev Namisa plan, and 11,049 to the CBSPrev plan.
The plan assets of CBS are primarily invested in repurchase agreements (backed by federal government securities), federal government securities indexed to inflation, shares, loans and real estate. As of December 31, 2018, CBS held 37,084,031 common shares of CSN (20,143,031 as of December 31,2017). The total plan assets of the entity amounted to R$5.3 billion as of December 31, 2018 (R$5.1 billion as of December 31, 2017). The administrators of the CBS funds seek to match plan assets with benefit obligations payable on a long-term basis. Pension funds in Brazil are subject to certain restrictions regarding their capacity for investment in foreign assets and, therefore, these funds invest mainly in Brazilian securities.
Plan Assets are all available assets and the benefit plans’ investments, not including the amounts of debts to sponsors.
For the defined benefit plans, called “35% of the average salary” and “average salary supplementation plan”, the Company holds a financial guarantee with CBS Previdência, the entity that administers said plans, to ensure their financial and actuarial balance, in the event of any future actuarial loss or actuarial gain.

Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2018 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
As provided for in the prevailing law that governs the pension fund market, for the last 4 years ended (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), CSN did not have to pay the installments because the defined benefit plans posted actuarial gains for the period.
27.a) Description of the pension plans
Plan covering 35% of the average salary
This plan began on February 1, 1966 and is a defined benefit plan aimed at paying pensions (for length of service, special situations, disability or old age) on a lifetime basis, equivalent to 35% of the adjusted average of the participant’s salary for the last 12 months. The plan also guarantees sick pay to participants on Official Social Security leaves of absence and further ensures payments of savings fund, funeral allowance and pecuniary aid. This plan was discontinued on October 31, 1977 when took effect the average salary supplementation plan.
Average salary supplementation plan
This plan began on November 1, 1977 and is a defined benefit plan aimed at complementing the difference between the adjusted average of the participant’s salary for the last 12 months and the Official Social Security benefit for retirement, also on a lifetime basis. As in the 35% plan, there is coverage for the benefits of sick pay, death and pension. This plan was discontinued on December 26, 1995 with the creation of the mixed supplementary benefit plan.
Mixed supplementary benefit plan
This plan began on December 27, 1995 and is a variable contribution plan. Besides the scheduled retirement benefit, it also covers the payment of risk benefits (pension paid while the participant is still working, disability compensation and sick/accident pay). Under this plan, the retirement benefit is calculated based on the amount accumulated by the monthly contributions of the participants and sponsors, as well as on each participant’s option for the manner in which they receive them, which can be lifetime (with or without continuity of pension for death) or through a percentage applied to the balance of the benefit-generating fund (loss for indefinite period). After retirement is granted, the plan takes on the characteristics of a defined benefit plan if the participant has chosen to receive his benefit in the form of monthly income for life. This plan was discontinued on September 16, 2013 when the CBS Prev plan became effective.
CBS Prev Plan
The new CBS Prev Plan, which is a defined contribution plan, started on September 16, 2013. Under this plan, the retirement benefit is determined based on the accumulated amount by monthly contributions of participants and sponsors. To receive the benefit, each participant can opt for: (a) receiving part in cash (up to 25%) and the remaining balance through a monthly income through a percentage applied to the benefit-generating fund, not being applicable to death pension benefits, or (b) receive only a monthly income through a percentage applied to the benefit-generating fund.
With the creation of the CBS Prev Plan, the mixed supplementary benefit plan was discontinued for the entry of new participants as from September 16, 2013.
CBSPREV Namisa Plan
It is a Defined Contribution plan with benefits of risks during the activity (projection of the balances in case of disability or death and sickness / accident allowanced). It has been in operation since January 6, 2012, when it was created exclusively for the employees of Nacional Minérios S.A. After the corporate reorganization, which took place in 2016, other Sponsors joined this Plan, among them CSN Mineração S.A.

Under this plan, all the benefits offered are calculated based on the accumulated amount from the monthly contributions of participants and sponsors, and are paid through a percentage applied to the balance of the benefit generating fund. The CBSPREV Namisa Plan is closed since July 2017.
27.b) Investment policy
The investment policy establishes the principles and guidelines that will govern the investments of funds entrusted to the entity, in order to foster the security, liquidity and profitability required to ensure equilibrium between the plan’s assets and liabilities based on an ALM (Asset Liability Management) study that takes into consideration the benefits of participants and beneficiaries for each plan.
The investment plan is reviewed annually and approved by the Decision-Making Board considering a five-year horizon, as established by resolution CGPC 7 of December 4, 2003. The investment limits and criteria established in the policy are based on Resolution 3,792/09 published by the National Monetary Council (“CMN”).
27.c) Employee benefits
The actuarial calculations are updated at the end of each annual reporting period by outside actuaries and presented in the financial statements pursuant to CPC33(R1)/IAS19 - Employee Benefits.

28.c) Projects and other commitments
· Transnordestina project
The Transnordestina project which corresponds to rail network II of the Northeast Railway System, includes building 1,753 km of new, next-generation, wide-gauge tracks. The project posts an evolution of 52% progress which was expected to completion for 2017, completion period currently under discussion with the responsible agencies).
The Company expects that the investments will permit Transnordestina Logística S.A., the concessionaire that holds the Transnordestina project, to transport of several products, such as iron ore, limestone, soy, cotton, sugarcane, fertilizers, oil, and fuel. The concession will expire in 2057, and can be terminated before this date if the minimum return agreed with the Government is reached. Transnordestina has already obtained the required environmental permits, purchased part of the equipment, contracted some of the services, and in certain regions the project is at an advanced implementation stage.
The sources of financing for the project are: (i) financing granted by Banco do Nordeste/ FNE and the BNDES, (ii) debentures issued by FDNE, (iii) Permanent Track Use contracts, and (iv) contribution of capital by CSN and public shareholders. The approved construction investment is R$7,542,000 and the balance of disbursable funds will be adjusted using the IPCA as from April 2012. Should additional funds be required, they will be provided by CSN and/or third parties under Permanent Track Use contracts.
The budget to conclude the project is under review. Currently, the budget value is composed as follows: Missão Velha-Salgueiro: R$0.4 billion, Salgueiro-Trindade: R$0.7 billion, Trindade-Eliseu Martins: R$2.4 billion, Missão Velha-Porto de Pecém: R$3 billion, Salgueiro-Porto de Suape: R$4.7 billion, amounting R$ 11.2 billion.
The Company guarantees 100% of TLSA’s financing granted by Banco do Nordeste/FNE and the BNDES, and 50.97% of the debentures issued by FDNE (includes the corporate guarantee of 48.47%, a collateral letter of 1.25% issued to BNB and the corporate guarantee of 1.25% pledged to BNB). Under the FDNE charter, approved by Federal Decree nº 6,952/2009, and the Investment Agreement entered into with the public shareholders/ financiers, up to 50% of the debentures maybe converted into TLSA shares.
The Court of Auditors of the Union - TCU through a protective order issued in May 2016, regarding the case TC 012.179/2016, suspended new transfers of public resources to TLSA from Valec Engenharia, Construções e Ferrovias S.A., Fundo de Investimento do Nordeste – FINOR, Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Nordeste – FNE, Fundo de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste – FDNE, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES and BNDES Participações S.A.– BNDESPar. After filing an appeal against the protective order and providing the necessary explanations, in June 2016 the order issued by TCU was withdrawn unanimously by the members of this court, with the continuity of investments planned having been restored.

By means of another protective order issued in January 2017, relating to the case TC 012.179/2016, the Court of Auditors of the Union suspended new transfers of public resources to TLSA by Valec Engenharia, Construções e Ferrovias S.A., Fundo de Investimento do Nordeste – FINOR, Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Nordeste – FNE, Fundo de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste – FDNE, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES and BNDES Participações S.A.– BNDESPar. The Company has provided the required clarifications to the TCU and has acted firmly in order that the decision can be repealed soon and the flow of investments planned can be restored. Despite of, ANTT, through Letter 20/2019 / GPFER / SUFER, dated January 21, 2019 and received by TLSA on February 1, 2019, informed the receipt of the review the executive projects of lots 7, 8 and 11 of the MVP section, however, disregarded the review of the projects for extemporaneous. The review of executive projects is essential for the completion of the regulatory budget, and the conclusion of this regulatory budget is a requirement for the TCU to reassess the blocking order of public funding.
There is an administrative procedure with the ANTT (National Land Transportation Agency) which evaluates the regular compliance with the obligations of the Concession Agreement corresponding to System II by Concessionaire TLSA. ANTT’s technical area, in a unilateral opinion, understood that non-compliance with the contractual obligations by the Concessionaire is evidenced. The technical area’s opinion is under evaluation and, if the irregularity is proven, ANTT may open new process to apply the applicable penalties, among them, forfeiture. The procedure is in fact finding phase and until the moment there is no final decision on the merit.
· FTL – Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (Operational rail network)
In relation to the rail network I, operates by Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A.(“FTL”) - there is an administrative procedure before the National Agency for Land Transportation (“ANTT”) that analyzes the regular fulfillment of the obligations of the Concession Agreement by the Concessionaire FTL. In view of a unilateral analysis, ANTT informed that FTL would have failed to comply with the TAC (Conduct Adjustment Agreement) signed in 2013 as a result of the non-compliance with the production target for 2013. ANTT decided to file an administrative proceeding to investigate the non-compliance with the concession agreement and, if the irregularity is proved, it can apply the related penalties or recommend to the Presidency of the Republic the declaration of obsolescence, and the proceeding is at the finding-of-facts stage and, so far, there is no final decision on the merit.
29 INSURANCE
Aiming to properly mitigate risk and in view of the nature of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries have taken out several different types of insurance policies. Such policies are contracted in line with the CSN Risk Management policy and are similar to the insurance taken out by other companies operating in the same lines of business as CSN and its subsidiaries. The risks covered under such policies include the following: Domestic Transportation, International Transportation, Life and Casualty, Health Coverage, Fleet Vehicles, D&O (Civil Liability Insurance for Directors and Officers), General Civil Liability, Engineering Risks, naming Risks, Export Credit, warranty and Port Operator’s Civil Liability.
In 2017, after negotiation with insurers and reinsurers in Brazil and abroad, an insurance policy was issued for the contracting of a policy of Operational Risk of Property Damages and Loss of Profits, with effect from September 30, 2017 to March 31, 2019. Under the insurance policy, the maximum limit of indemnity is US$600 million and deductibles in the amount of US$385 million for material damages and 45 days for loss of profits and covers the following Company’s units and subsidiaries: Presidente Vargas Steelworks, CSN Mineração and Sepetiba Tecon.

COMMENTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS PROJECTIONS
The Company clarifies that the information disclosed in this item represents a mere estimate, hypothetical data and cannot be interpreted as a promise of performance by the Company and/or its Management. The projections listed below include market variables that are not under the Company’s control and, therefore, may change.
CSN estimates an adjusted annualized EBTIDA close to R$7 billion for 2019.
CSN estimates a leverage measured by the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA close to 3.5 times over a 6 months or until the end of the first half of 2019.
CSN estimates iron ore production volume at 31.5Mton, 30.7Mton, 31.2Mton, 36.6Mton and 38Mton in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
For the year 2019, is projected an EBITDA of R$7 billion. In turn, the validity term of the presented projection ends with the results being disclosed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, that will be available to the market within the period established by the local authority.
In June 2019, CSN estimates a leverage measured by the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBTIDA close to 3.5 times, that will be available to the market at the end of the first half of 2019.
CSN estimates annual volume of iron ore production from 2019 to 2023 to expire at the end of the projected periods.
All assumptions mentioned below are subject to the influence of external variables, which are beyond the control of the Company’s management. Therefore, in case of relevant changes in these assumptions, the Company may revise its estimates mentioned below, modifying them in comparison with those originally presented.
Adjusted EBITDA
The assumptions used to project the adjusted EBITDA of R$7 billion for 2019, consider the best average prices for flat steel, as well as the higher sales volume, highlighting the allocation of goods to the domestic market focusing on better operational margins. In relation to the mining, our estimate is that the price levels (Platts – 62% Fe) of iron ore in 2019 above 2018 when the index closed at an average of US$ 69.46 / t
Leverage 9 to 12 months
The assumptions used for the leverage measured by the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA close to 3.5 times over a 6 months, is based on an increase of the adjusted EBITDA, resulting in a higher generation of free cash flow and lower net debt, leading to a substantial reduction of the indicator.

a) In the form, inform which were being replaced by new projections and which were being repeated.
There were no new estimates, all of which were already communicated to the market through a Material Fact, as well as subsequently updated in the Reference Form.
Estimates maintained:
CSN estimates an adjusted annualized EBTIDA close to R$7 billion for 2019.
CSN estimates a leverage measured by the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA close to 3.5 times over a 6 months.
CSN estimates iron ore production volume at 31.5Mton, 30.7Mton, 31.2Mton, 36.6Mton and 38Mton in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
In 2018, Net Revenue was 3% higher than the previous estimate, due to the better steel and iron ore prices.
In 2018, the Adjusted EBITDA was 5% higher than the previous estimate, due to the fact that mining presented an adjusted EBITDA higher than expected, given the higher average price and quality of our iron ore.
The volume of production of iron ore was within the expectation (-2%) and according to our expected mining plan.

Independent auditor’s report on the individual and consolidated financial statements
To the Management, Directors and Shareholders of
Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional
São Paulo – SP
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (“Company”), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2018, and the statement of profit and loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional as of December 31, 2018, and its individual and consolidated financial performance and individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements set forth in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the professional standards issued by the Federal Accounting Council and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Page 130
Emphasis of matter
Ability of the jointly-controlled subsidiary Transnordestina Logística S.A. to continue as a going concern
We draw attention to Note 9.d) to the individual and consolidated financial statements, which describes the percentage of completion of the new railway network by the jointly-controlled subsidiary Transnordestina Logística S.A. (TLSA), currently under construction and originally scheduled to be completed by January 2017, is currently being revised and discussed by the relevant regulatory bodies. The completion of the work under the project (and consequent start of operations) is contingent upon receiving ongoing financial contribution from TLSA´s shareholders and third parties. These events and conditions, together with other issues described in said Note indicate the existence of significant uncertainty that may raise significant doubt as to TLSA´s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not qualified regarding this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters (KAM) are those matters that, in our judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole and in forming our opinion on such individual and consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the “Continuity of jointly-controlled subsidiary Transnordestina Logística S.A. as a going concern” section, we determined that the matters described below are the key audit matters that should be communicated in our report.
1. Financial leverage and risk of liquidity and going concern (Notes 1 and 12)
Why the matter was determined to be a KAM
A substantial part of the funds and investments necessary for the development of the Company’s activities derives from financing. As of December 31, 2018, the amount of borrowings, financing and debentures with third parties, recognized in current and noncurrent liabilities amounted to R$24,252 million (Parent) and R$28,943 million (consolidated).
As of December 31, 2018, the Company continues to record negative net working capital deficiency in Parent in the amount of R$2,523 (R$1,534 at December 31, 2017), which might give rise to doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. On a consolidated basis, at December 31, 2018, net working capital totals R$576 (R$1,211 at December 31, 2017), a decline of R$635 in relation to prior year.
As described in Note 1, the financial leverage may significantly affect the Company’s businesses.
As the main item accounting for the high financial leverage, financial liabilities represented by borrowings, financing and debentures, Management plans to restructure debts and decrease the financial leverage ratio by selling non-strategic assets (Note 1). In the current year, this matter was again considered a critical and risk area in our audit approach due to its relevance for the continuity of the Company’s operations and the materiality of the debts in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Additionally, borrowings, financing and debentures require, in some cases, compliance with covenants and other restrictive conditions that, if not met, may cause the individual and consolidated financial statements to be materially misstated.
Page 131
How the matter was addressed in the audit of the financial statements
Our audit procedures included, among others:
· |
Understand the policies and measures adopted by Management to manage and prepare the cash flow; |
· |
Discuss the business plans and actions taken to renegotiate debts with Management; |
· |
Evaluate the design and structure of the internal controls implemented by Management to control and recognize liabilities from borrowings, financing and debentures; |
· |
Test the changes in new capitalization and amortization and in recalculations of finance charges and evaluate the classification between current and noncurrent liabilities; |
· |
Mail confirmation letter to confirm balances with creditors and trustees; |
· |
Perform analyses and test adherence with respect to covenants and restrictive contractual clauses to confirm that the Company was performing (and, in case the Company was in default, that the effects on the individual and consolidated financial statements had been properly recorded); |
· |
Analyze the disclosures required in the individual and consolidated financial statements. |
As a result of auditing procedures performed, we understand that the criteria end assumptions adopted by the Company to recognize borrowings, financing and debentures and its evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern were appropriately addressed and disclosed in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
2. Provision for risks relating to lawsuits (Note 17)
Why the matter was determined to be a KAM
The Company is a defendant in tax, civil and labor lawsuits arising in the normal course of its activities. This area requires Management to make judgments and critical evaluations, supported by the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, in determining the estimates related to the recognition of assets and liabilities, measuring the involved amounts, assessing the likelihood of loss on lawsuits and appropriately disclosing the existing proceedings and pending litigation, considering their materiality in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The total provision amount recorded in the financial statements amounts to R$603 million and R$792 million, Parent and consolidated, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. Additionally, certain laws and regulations in Brazil are highly complex and, therefore, the measurement, recognition of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the provision for risks related to lawsuits and administrative proceedings, processes and/or, in certain cases, compliance with laws and regulations, requires a certain level of judgment by the Company and its subsidiaries to record estimates of losses and make disclosures in their individual and consolidated financial statements.
Due to the relevance, complexity and judgment involved in the evaluation, measurement and definition of the timing to recognize and disclose lawsuits and litigation at the various levels of discussion, as well as any impacts that such processes and estimates may cause on the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole (including when lawsuits are assessed as possible and probable loss, since a change in the likelihood of loss or in the assessment criteria may have impacts on the financial statements in terms of provision and/or recognition of assets). Therefore, we continue to consider this matter as critical for our audit of the current audit.
Page 132
How the matter was addressed in the audit of the financial statements
Our audit procedures included, among others:
· |
Evaluate the design of the structure of the internal control related to the identification, evaluation, measurement and disclosure of the provisions for risks relating to judicial and administrative lawsuits, including those related to compliance with laws and regulations; |
· |
Evaluate, on a testing basis, the sufficiency of the provisions recognized and the amounts of contingencies disclosed by evaluating the criteria and assumptions used in their measurement methodology, considering data and historical information and, also, the assessment of the Company’s internal and external legal counsel, obtained by means of confirmation; |
· |
For tax claims, our approach included the involvement of our tax specialists to evaluate the merit and information regarding the gain possibility provided by the legal advisors (in the extension we understand was necessary), and also the documentation and information related to the main tax and labor matters involving the Company; |
· |
Discuss with the Company´s internal and external legal advisors; |
· |
Evaluate the disclosures made in the individual and consolidated financial statements to determine that they are in accordance with the rules applicable and provide information on the nature, exposure and amounts accrued or disclosed relating to the main tax, labor and civil matters in which the Company is involved. |
Based on our audit approach and procedures performed and evidence obtained, we understand that the criteria and assumptions adopted by the Company to record and disclose the estimates and risks related to pending lawsuits at different court levels are appropriate in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
3. Recoverable value of investment in jointly-controlled subsidiary (Note 9)
Why the matter was determined to be a KAM
The Company has investment in jointly-controlled subsidiary Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“TLSA”) as of December 31, 2018, including gain on loss of control, in the amount of R$1,453 million, whose recoverable value should be tested for impairment annually, as required by technical pronouncement CPC 01(R-1) – Impairment of assets. As mentioned in such note, the jointly-controlled subsidiary performs impairment tests, which involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment by Management, based on the discounted cash flow method, which considers several assumptions, such as discount rate, inflation projection, economic growth, among others. The Company, as an investor, also conducts its evaluation, under a method that considers the investee’s capacity to distribute dividends, named Dividend Discount Model, which considers the flow of dividends discounted at present value using the equity capital in addition to other metrics and risks factors that increase the discount rate used. Accordingly, in the audit of the current year, this matter was again considered an area of risk due to the uncertainty inherent in the process of determining the estimates and judgments involved in preparing future cash flows discounted to present value, such as projections of market demand, operating margins and discount rates that may significantly change the expected realization of the asset.
How the matter was addressed in the audit of the financial statements
Our audit procedures included, among others:
· |
Evaluate the design of the structure of internal controls implemented by Management related to impairment testing; |
· |
Examine the analysis prepared by Management supported by our internal specialists to verify the reasonableness of the model used in Management´s assessment, by means of an independent analysis; |
· |
Ongoing challenge of the assumptions used by Management in order to corroborate if there are assumptions not consistent and/or that might be revised; |
Page 133
· |
Check and inquire the Company’s Management and TLSA’s executives of the progress of the discussions for release of funds by controlling shareholders so that works may be resumed and release of funds by Federal Government agencies and related entities; |
· |
Analyze the disclosures required in the individual and consolidated financial statements; |
· |
Evaluate if the disclosures in notes are consistent with the information and representations obtained from Management. |
Based on the procedures performed, we considered that the assumptions and methodologies used by the Company to evaluate the recoverable value of such assets are reasonable, and the information presented in the individual and consolidated financial statements is consistent with the information analyzed in our auditing procedures in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Other matters
Statements of value added
The individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) for the year ended December 31, 2018, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, the presentation of which is required by Brazilian Corporation Law for public companies and considered supplemental information by IFRS have been submitted to auditing procedures performed in conjunction with our audit of the Company’s financial statements. In forming our opinion, we evaluated if these statements are reconciled to the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, these statements of value added were appropriately prepared, in all material respects, according to the criteria defined in said technical pronouncement and are consistent in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report thereon
The Company’s Management is responsible for this other information that is included in the Management Report.
Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in Management Report, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management and those charged with governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements
The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Page 134
In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements, unless Management either intends to liquidate the company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative to avoid doing so.
Those charged with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ governance are those responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. In addition, we:
· |
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve override of internal control, collusion, forgery, intentional omissions or misrepresentations; |
· |
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ internal control; |
· |
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management; |
· |
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern; |
· |
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; |
· |
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit and, consequently, for the audit opinion. |
Page 135
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current year and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
