NOTES TO FINACIAL STATEMENTS
FLEXO UNIVERSAL, S.A. DE C.V.
As of December 31st, 2013 and 2012
In Mexican pesos.
NOTE 1 – COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Flexo Universal, S.A. de C.V. (FLEXO) was constituted on 2002. Subsidiary of CTI Industries INC, a North American company that owns 99.82% of its capital stock.
Its main activity is the production of latex and mylar balloons; this operation is performed under the shelter of its parent company that finances its operations.
NOTE 2 – MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. | Basis for presentation |
The main accounting policies adopted by the company are in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards applicable Mexico (FRS), as well as the Interpretations to Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), only in a supplementary way International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will apply.
The company prepares its financial statements according to FRS except for 1) lack of recognition of the inflation effects according to standard FRS B-10, this standard requires that operations are registered at its historical value and that the inflation effects are recognized for those operations and, consequently, in its financial statements. Inflation effects have to be recognized in an integral manner, performing an upgrade of the non-monetary assets (fixed assets and inventories) as well as the items that integrate the capital stock including the period’s net profit or loss, and that the result on monetary position is determined. It also requires that the accompanying financial statements of the prior period are presented in Mexican pesos and at the acquisition cost of the last period reported, so they can be comparable. As of January 1, 2008 the Financial Reporting Standard (B-10) “Inflation Effects” is disabled, due to this, the inflation effects are no longer recognized in accounting as of that date because of a non-inflationary environment. The adoption of this FRS will be reactivated when cumulative inflation over a period of three years exceeds 26%.
The indexes that were used to determine a non-inflationary environment were as follows:
December 31 | INPC | Inflation | ||||||
2012 | 107.246 | 3.57 | % | |||||
2011 | 103.551 | 3.82 | % | |||||
2010 | 99.742 | 4.40 | % |
2) The lack of a study to determine the possible impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, FRS C-15 “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets”, establishes, among other things, general criteria that allows the identification and recording of losses due impairment or value decrease of tangible and non-tangible long lived assets, including good will, also, it precise concepts like sales price and use value, to valuate long lived assets and 3) the lack of recognition of labour liabilities according to FRS D-3 “Labour Liabilities.
The main accounting policies and accounting procedures in the preparation of the financial statements are described below.
8 |
b. | Estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Mexican financial reporting standards requires the company's management to make certain estimates and provisions that may affect the value of some assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, as well as the value and measurement of revenues, costs and expenses during the reported period. Even if the final result of these estimates and provisions may differ from the calculated, management believes that those were appropriate used to the circumstances.
c. | Statement of comprehensive income |
Starting January 2013, FRS B-3 was modified to converge with the established in the Intentional Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". This FRS supersedes the previous FRS B-3 Income Statement, Bulletin B-4 Income and Comprehensive Guidance on FRS 1 "Presentation or disclosure of the profit or loss per share."
The main changes of FRS B-3 "Statement of comprehensive income" with respect to the FRS that renders are as follows:
An entity may choose to present the statement of comprehensive income in one or two statements as follows:
i) A statement showing all items that make up the net profit and loss, as well as "Other Comprehensive Income" (OCI) and participation in the OCI of other entities. This statement must be named “Statement of Comprehensive Income”, and
ii) In two statements. The first statement must include only those items that make the net profit or loss and must be named “Income Statement”, and a second statement must start from the net profit or loss that concluded the income statement and then present the OCI and OCI participation in other entities and must be named “Statement of Other Comprehensive Income”.
The OCI should be presented in the statement of comprehensive income immediately after the net profit or loss separately, the profits or net accumulated losses are clarified, separately, in the statement of financial position, within equity.
Items classified as non-ordinary, should not be presented separated; either in the financial statement or in the notes to the financial statements. The above FRS B-3 Income Statement, allowed the presentation of non-ordinary items in a separated manner.
It is considered that under other income and expenses, items considered as operational should not be included, this item must include not significant amounts, so this FRS does not requires its presentation in separated form, however, the presentation may be elaborated in a separate manner.
With respect to discontinued operations, revenues, costs and expenses arising from discontinued operations after income or loss from continuing operations should be presented; the results of the period from discontinued operations, net of income taxes and Employees' Statutory Profit Sharing (ESPS) should be included
In 2013, items of other income, other expenses and other for year 2012 were reclassified in order to compare the new Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial Statements are prepared in Mexican pesos ($), currency which, bases on Mexican laws, the company’s accounting records must be prepared.
9 |
e. | Cash and equivalents |
Mainly represented by deposits in bank accounts.
f. | Accounts receivable and estimation for allowance for doubtful accounts |
Represent collection right originated from inventory sales. Accounts in foreign currency are valuated at the year closing exchange rate.
Estimates for doubtful collection accounts represent the inherent probable loss of all receivables due the behaviour of historic tendencies of the accounts receivable. Since 2009 the company has issued a provision to absorb the uncollectible accounts.
g. | Inventories |
Inventories of finished goods, production in process and raw materials, are registered at its historic acquisition and production cost, using the absorbing cost system. The acquisition cost includes all associated expenses until the inventories are ready to be produced or sold. Inventories are valuated by the average cost method net form the value estimates which does not exceed their realization value.
h. | Machinery and equipment |
Fixed Assets acquired from the fusion, were registered according to the historic cost of the absorbed company, adding the difference from the valuation practiced by and independent appraiser on 17th, 1996. Fixed assets acquisitions after the fusion are registered at its acquisition cost.
The acquisition cost includes all associated expenses until the fixed assets are ready to be used.

In opinion of the Company’s management, there are no traces of impairment that could have an effect in the results, in accordance with the Bulletin.
j. | Deferred income tax and employee’s profit sharing |
The company follows the dispositions established by FRS D-4 “Profit taxes”. This standard establishes an integral method based on assets and liabilities to perform the deferred taxes calculations.

10 |
Employees profit Sharing (PTU) is a labour obligation payable to employees according to the Mexican labour law (LFT), based on the adjusted profit according to the income tax law.
Since October 1st, 2007, with the approval of the Corporate Flat Tax Rate (IETU) by the Mexican authorities, the Company also applies the interpretation of Mexican Financial Reporting Standards “Corporate Flat Tax Rate effects” (INIF 8), which establishes the calculation of the deferred effect of the IETU for those items that have a high certainty that can originate a payment or recoverable tax in future years. Such calculation must be made applying the IETU rate of the year that the tax will be caused (note 13b).
As of January 1°, 2008 a new Business Flat Tax Law (IETU), became effective which is presented as a minimum tax that replaces the Asset Tax, which is abrogated. The tax is determined by applying the rate of 17.5% to the difference between the income collection and paid deductions, noting in particular those provisions rules on income and on deductions. The flat tax is a complementary tax to the income tax and will be paid on the extent that income tax is not paid or flat tax is less than Flat Tax.
On November 2013 tax reform was approved for 2014, the following was modified:
- New Income Tax Law, rate remaining at 30%.
- Law Corporate Flat Tax (IETU) is abrogated.
The deferred IETU registered as a liability in previous periods is cancelled because this tax law was abrogated and is no longer in force. According to IFRS 20 (Interpretations to Financial Reporting Standards in Mexico) has to be accrued as income.

Seniority Premiums: FRS D-3, “Benefits to employees”. The Company has not made the corresponding calculations.
The company consider that the amount that might result from such calculations is not material
m. | Recognition of revenue |
Revenue is recognized in the period in which the risks and benefits of inventory are transferred to customers who acquire them, which generally occurs when these inventories are delivered and the corresponding invoice is prepared
