EXPLANATORY NOTE
Belmond Ltd. (the “Registrant” or “Belmond”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2016 (the “Original 2015 Form 10-K”).
This Amendment is being filed because, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-09”), the Registrant is required to file the financial statements of Perurail S.A. (“Perurail”), Peru Belmond Hotels S.A. (“Peru Hotels”) and Hotel Ritz Madrid S.A. (“Hotel Ritz Madrid”), each currently (in the case of Perurail and Peru Hotels) or formerly (in the case of Hotel Ritz Madrid), a 50% Belmond-owned unconsolidated company during our 2015 fiscal year. The fiscal 2015 financial statements for Perurail were prepared by that company’s management in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and have been audited by BDO - Pazos, Lopez de Romana, Rodriguez S. Civil de R.L. pursuant to applicable standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The 2015 financial statements for each of Peru Hotels and Hotel Ritz Madrid, which are also presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not required under Rule 3-09 to be, and therefore have not been, audited under applicable PCAOB standards. As disclosed in our Original 2015 Form 10-K, the Registrant sold its entire 50% equity ownership interest in Hotel Ritz Madrid effective May 21, 2015. Accordingly, Belmond is filing the unaudited financial statements of Hotel Ritz Madrid covering the relevant “stub” period of our fiscal 2015 – January 1 through May 21, 2015 – during which we continued to hold our unconsolidated 50% equity interest in this company.
We are also including the unaudited fiscal 2014 results of Peru Hotels and Hotel Ritz Madrid, each prepared by their respective managements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, pursuant to an interpretive position of the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance under Rule 3-09. As permitted under Rule 3-09, these results were not audited under applicable PCAOB standards. The comparative fiscal 2013 results of all three of the forgoing companies – Perurail, Peru Hotels and Hotel Ritz Madrid – were prepared by their respective managements under U.S. GAAP and subject to a PCAOB-compliant audit, as reflected in the audit reports of their respective outside auditors included below.
The above-described financial statements of Perurail, Peru Hotels and Hotel Ritz Madrid are filed herewith pursuant to this Amendment under Item 15 of Form 10-K – Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original 2015 Form 10-K Filing, and this Form 10-K/A does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Original 2015 Form 10-K Filing. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original 2015 Form 10-K Filing and, other than providing the financial statements of the unconsolidated companies named above under Item 15, does not modify or update the disclosures in the Original 2015 Form 10-K Filing in any way.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Perurail S.A.
Lima, Peru
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Perurail S.A. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company´s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Perurail S.A. at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Perurail S.A.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies and basis of presentation
(a) Business
Perurail S.A. (hereinafter the “Company”) was incorporated in the city of Lima, Peru in 1999.
The Company is 50% owned by Belmond Ltd. incorporated in Bermuda, and 50% owned by Peruvian Trains & Railways S.A. incorporated in Peru.
Its headquarters and registered address are located at Av. Armendariz 480 office 501, District of Miraflores, Department of Lima.
The purpose of the Company is the operation of passenger and freight transport by rail, as well as ground cargo transport services for the Cerro Verde mine.
In order to perform its corporate purpose, in August 2000 the Company entered a lease with Ferrocarril Transandino S.A., an affiliate, by which the Company was granted access to and use of the tracks, locomotives, coaches, wagons, machine shops and parts of the train stations of the South and South-East Railways operated by Ferrocarril Transandino S.A. Under this contract, various rates are established and payable for the use of locomotives, coaches and wagons based on traveled kilometers, which are settled on a monthly basis.
(b) Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis in the assets and liabilities and the historical results of operations directly attributable to the Company in the normal course of business.
“FASB” means Financial Accounting Standards Board. “ASC” means the Accounting Standards Codification of the FASB and “ASU” means an Accounting Standards Update of the FASB.
(c) Estimates
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions the Company believes are reasonable based on the relevant facts and circumstances of the estimate. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates include, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance on devaluation of inventories, long-lived asset impairment, depreciation and amortization, taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar which is also the reporting currency of the Company. The local currency is the Sol.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings as they occur. Transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized in earnings as they occur.
8
(e) Cash
Cash includes all cash balances. The Company keeps its bank accounts in functional currency and local currency. Cash balances are freely disposable and accrue no interest.
(f) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company states its accounts receivable at their estimated net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for specifically identified estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
(g) Inventories
Inventories include supplies for minor maintenance of fixed assets. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value under the weighted average method.
(h) Income taxes
Current portion of income tax
The amount of income taxes paid or payable is determined by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess deductions over revenues for the year. The rates used and regulations applied to compute the amount are those enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred portion of income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events that have been recognized in the financial statements but have not yet been reflected in the Company’s income tax returns, or vice versa.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are measured at enacted statutory rates and are adjusted as enacted rates change. Prior to 2015, classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities corresponded with the classification of the underlying assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences or the period of expected reversal, as applicable. In 2015 the Company adopted new guidance whereby all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on available evidence.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, which includes reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Management reassesses the need for valuation allowances at each reporting date. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance will increase or reduce respectively the income tax expense in the period in which there has been a change in judgment.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Management recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 guidance applicable to uncertain tax positions, and adjusts these liabilities when judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which the actual tax liabilities are determined or the statute of limitations has expired. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the statements of operations. Liabilities for uncertain tax benefits are included in the balance sheets and classified as current or non-current liabilities depending on the expected timing of payment. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
9
(i) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of significant renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated, while expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description | Useful lives | |
Installations | 33 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 10 years | |
Transport units | 5 years | |
Improvements to locomotive and rolling stock assets under lease | 5 years | |
Owned locomotives and rolling stock | 10 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 10 years | |
Computer equipment | 4 years |
(j) Intangible assets
Software costs are recorded under assets and classified as intangibles if such costs are not part of the related hardware. Software is amortized using the straight-line method.
Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description | Useful lives | |
Logo and trademarks | 30 years | |
Software and licenses | 4 years |
(k) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s management evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets if certain trigger events occur. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, sales of similar assets, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets based on its plans, at the time, for such assets and such qualitative factors as future development in the surrounding area, status of expected local competition and projected incremental income from renovations. Changes to the Company's plans, including a decision to dispose of or change the intended use of an asset, can have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset.
(l) Capital leasing
For capital leasing transactions, the method used consists of showing the total cost of the contract under fixed assets and its corresponding liability. Financial expenses are charged to operations in the period in which they become due, and depreciation of assets is charged to operations based on their useful life.
(m) Employees’ length of service compensation
The provision for employees’ length of service compensation included under taxes and other accounts payable is charged to operations as the compensation becomes due.
10
(n) Revenue recognition
Passenger transport revenue includes ticket revenue that is recognized when the related services are provided. Rail freight and cargo revenues are recognized when the freight and cargo reach their destination. Ground cargo transport services revenues are recognized on a fixed fee basis per month, plus variable fees per ton transported when the services are provided. Revenues are presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Revenues in providing these services are recognized, as appropriate, when:
1. The amount of revenues can be reliably quantified;
2. The transaction-related economic benefits are likely to flow to the Company;
3. The degree of completion of the transaction, on the date of the balance, can be reliably quantified; and
4. | The costs incurred in providing the services, as well as those still to be incurred until completed, can be reliably quantified. |
Deferred revenue includes all ticket revenue where tickets have been sold, but the related services have not yet been provided.
(o) Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the placement of long-term debt are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
(p) Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including interest rate risk and exchange rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management program tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Management, based on its knowledge and experience, seeks to mitigate the exchange rate, interest rate, credit and liquidity risks by following the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The most important aspects of these risks are:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations at their maturity at a fair value. The Company mitigates this risk through its procedures to monitor and manage asset and liability maturity dates, so that the Company can be best prepared for the flow of cash to match future payments.
Credit risk
The Company’s financial assets that are potentially exposed to concentration of credit risk are mainly trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and from shareholders, and various accounts receivable.
Interest rate risk
The Company´s exposure to this risk arises from changes in the interest rates in its financial assets and liabilities. The majority of the Company's long-term debt is subject to a fixed interest rate.
Exchange rate risk
The Company carries out its transactions mostly in foreign currency, but management estimates that due to the short-term nature, any fluctuation will not materially adversely affect the results of the Company’s operations.
11
(q) Employee profit sharing
In accordance with Peruvian law, employee profit sharing is limited to 18 times an employee’s monthly average salary. The excess of calculated statutory employee profit sharing is paid to the Peruvian government and is treated as an additional tax. The Company’s practice is to recognize the employee profit sharing as part of operating cost and any excess profit sharing is recognized as part of current income tax. The Company has a 5% rate for calculating employee profit sharing. To date, no excess profit sharing has been recognized.
(r) Recently issued and adopted accounting guidance
Accounting pronouncements adopted during the year
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The standard does not otherwise affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, which would continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. Additionally, the other areas of U.S. GAAP that prescribe the accounting treatment for third-party debt issuance costs will not be affected. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2015 and debt issuance costs previously included in Other assets on the balance sheets have been reclassified accordingly. Debt issuance costs included in Long-term debt on the balance sheets were $793,000 at December 31, 2015 (2014 - $Nil).
In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires entities to present deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") as non-current in a classified balance sheet, in a simplification of the current guidance which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current or non-current in a classified balance sheet. Netting of DTAs and DTLs by tax jurisdiction is still required under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2015; this early adoption resulted in a reclassification of the net current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax liability in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
Accounting pronouncements to be adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year, to apply to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern”. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued its new standard on accounting for leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. A distinction between finance leases and operating leases is retained, with the result that the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous lease guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in its long-term debt obligations at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
The Company's loan facilities are secured by a mortgage on the owned locomotives and transport units of the business.
During 2014 the Company drew two bridge loans totaling $20,000,000 that matured in 2015. The first loan of $15,000,000 bore interest at a rate of 1.30% per annum, and the second loan of $5,000,000 bore interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum. The short-term bridge loans were replaced by a $35,000,000 long-term loan to be used for the construction of infrastructure for the expansion of the Cerro Verde mining project. The new loan was disbursed in October 2015 and bears interest at a rate of 6.23% per annum.
Debt issuance costs related to the above outstanding long-term debt of the Company were $793,000 at December 31, 2015 (2014 - $Nil) and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding long-term debt.

See Notes 1(a) and 13.
The following is a summary of the aggregate maturities of long-term debt of the Company excluding obligations under capital lease at December 31, 2015:

The amount of interest deducted from minimum lease payments to arrive at the present value is the interest contained in each of the leases.
(c) Fair value of financial instruments
Certain methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, working capital facilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of debt is calculated by discounting back future interest and principal payments using a discount factor which reflects the Company’s current credit metrics. This factor is derived from credit analysis using inputs such as profit, cash generation, and level of debt.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:
December 31, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||
Carrying amount | Fair value | Carrying amount | Fair value | |||||||||
$’000 | $’000 | $’000 | $’000 | |||||||||

Deferred income tax credit/(charge) | 1,126 | 1,607 | 1,070 | ||||||
Total | (4,922 | ) | (4,279 | ) | (4,665 | ) |
The reconciliations of the Peruvian income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Year ended December 31, | % | % | % | ||||||
Peruvian income tax rate | 28 | 30 | 30 | ||||||
Permanent differences | 7 | 11 | 2 | ||||||
Other | (6 | ) | (11 | ) | (5 | ) | |||

2015 | 2014 | |||||
December 31, | $’000 | $’000 | ||||
Provisions included in books | 369 | 1,070 | ||||
Other deferred income tax assets | 128 | 34 | ||||

Exchange rate related to fixed assets | 2,041 | (286 | ) | |||
Other deferred tax liabilities | (109 | ) | (25 | ) | ||
Deferred income tax liabilities | (5,481 | ) | (7,214 | ) | ||
Net deferred income tax liabilities | (4,984 | ) | (6,110 | ) |
The Company early-adopted ASU 2015-17 effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU resulted in a reclassification of the net current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax liability in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted. Net non-current deferred tax liabilities are presented on the face of the balance sheet. The Company required no provision in respect of uncertain tax positions and believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months this provision will not change.

8. Shareholders’ equity
(a) Share capital and additional-paid in capital
In November 2014 the Company implemented a split of its common stock. Shareholders received 1.5 additional shares for every one share held. This increased the Company’s share capital to 50,000,000 fully subscribed and paid shares with a par value of S/1.00 each, all carrying the same rights.

Number of shares | Percentage ownership | |||||
Belmond Ltd. | 25,000,000 | 50 | ||||
Peruvian Trains & Railways S.A. | 25,000,000 | 50 | ||||
50,000,000 | 100 |
(b) Legal reserve
In accordance with Peruvian law, a minimum 10% of the annual profits that can be distributed have to be transferred to a legal reserve until it equals 20% of the paid-in capital. The legal reserve can be used only to offset losses, but must be replenished and cannot be distributed as dividends, except in case of liquidation. The Company may capitalize the legal reserve but must replenish it in the year immediately after profits are obtained.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company increased its legal reserve by the amount of $888,000, which was set aside from earnings corresponding to the 2015 period. Calculations of the legal reserve are based on locally prepared financial statements in accordance with “Ley General de Sociedades” in Peru.
(c) Retained earnings
Retained earnings may be capitalized or distributed as dividends, by resolution of the shareholders. The Company´s distributable profits are limited to the amount of retained earnings available under local statutory provisions. From 2003, dividends and any other form of distributed profit are subject to a withholding tax at a 4.1% rate on profits earned before January 1, 2015 and a 6.8% rate on profits earned subsequently, applied to the distributed amount to be borne by the shareholders who are individuals, whether or not domiciled in Peru, or who are juridical persons not domiciled in Peru. Any dividends distribution must be proportionate to the shareholders’ contribution.
9. Employees’ profit sharing
According to Peruvian law, employees have a share of 5% of the Company profits before income tax. Employees’ profit sharing is computed on the taxable net income balance of the year subject to tax, as assessed for local purposes. See Note 1(q).
10. Information by segments
Accounting standards require that the Company present financial information by segments. Segments are determined by the form in which the management organizes the Company to make decisions and assess the business performance. In this regard, management considers that the Company operates one single reportable segment, all within the country of Peru.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peru Belmond Hotels S.A. at December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies and basis of presentation
(a) Business
Peru Belmond Hotels S.A (hereinafter the Company) was established in Lima, Peru on March 12, 1999; it started its activities on May 24 of the same year. It is 50% owned by the company Belmond Peru Ltd. domiciled in Bermuda and 50% owned by the company Peru Hotel Machu Picchu S.A. domiciled in Peru.
At a General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 10, 2014, the shareholders approved the change of the Company’s name from Peru OEH S.A. to Peru Belmond Hotels S.A. The Company executed a public deed changing the name on March 31, 2014 which was recorded on the Public Registers on April 28, 2014.
The Company is a leading luxury hotel company in Peru, which offers accommodation, food, beverages and other services through the operation of the following hotels:
Belmond Hotel Monasterio: A former monastery and national monument, built in 1592, located behind the main square of the city of Cusco, Peru. The monastery became a hotel in 1965 and has 125 rooms.
Belmond Hotel Río Sagrado: This is a luxurious hotel located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, Peru. It has 21 rooms and 2 villas.
Belmond Palacio Nazarenas: It is a 55-room hotel located behind the main square of Cusco. It is a former palace and convent emerging as a hotel after years of restoration.
Belmond Sanctuary Lodge: This hotel is located within the sanctuary of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has 29 rooms and 2 suites.
(b) Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis in the assets and liabilities and the historical results of operations directly attributable to the Company in the normal course of business.
“FASB” means Financial Accounting Standards Board. “ASC” means the Accounting Standards Codification of the FASB and “ASU” means an Accounting Standards Update of the FASB.
(c) Estimates
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions the Company believes are reasonable based on the relevant facts and circumstances of the estimate. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates include, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance on devaluation of inventories, long-lived asset impairment, depreciation and amortization, taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar which is also the reporting currency of the Company. The local currency is the Sol.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings as they occur. Transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates
26
of the transactions. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized in earnings as they occur.
(e) Cash
Cash includes all cash balances. The Company keeps its bank accounts in functional currency and local currency. Cash balances are freely disposable and accrue no interest.
(f) Restricted cash
Restricted cash includes trust funds in local bank accounts (collecting accounts) serving as collateral for the payment of the Company’s financial obligations, according to contract terms.
(g) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company states its accounts receivable at their estimated net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for specifically identified estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
On initial recognition accounts receivables are carried at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the method of effective interest rate, less allowance for doubtful accounts. The amortized cost is calculated considering any discount or premium incurred, fees and expenses, which constitute an integral part of the effective interest rate. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the income statement and other comprehensive income in the line "Allowance for losses".
The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by industry. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
(h) Inventories
Inventories include food, beverages, operational equipment (linen, glass and uniforms), operating stocks (guest amenities, printing materials, etc.) and retail goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value under the weighted average method.
(i) Income taxes
Current portion of income tax
The amount of income taxes paid or payable is determined by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess deductions over revenues for the year. The rates used and regulations applied to compute the amount are those enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred portion of income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events that have been recognized in the financial statements but have not yet been reflected in the Company’s income tax returns, or vice versa.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are measured at enacted statutory rates and are adjusted as enacted rates change. Prior to 2015, classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities corresponded with the classification of the underlying assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences or the period of expected reversal, as applicable. In 2015 the Company adopted new guidance whereby all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on available evidence.
27
In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, which includes reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Management reassesses the need for valuation allowances at each reporting date. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance will increase or reduce respectively the income tax expense in the period in which there has been a change in judgment.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Management recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 guidance applicable to uncertain tax positions, and adjusts these liabilities when judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which the actual tax liabilities are determined or the statute of limitations has expired. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the statements of operations. Liabilities for uncertain tax benefits are included in the balance sheets and classified as current or non-current liabilities depending on the expected timing of payment. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
(j) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of significant renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated, while expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description | Useful lives | |
Buildings | 33 to 60 years | |
Transport units | 5 years | |
Various equipment | 5 to 25 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 15 years |
(k) Intangible assets
Concessions and software are accounted for at cost less their accumulated amortization. They are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The period and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each period.
Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description | Useful lives | |
Concession Belmond Hotel Monasterio | 60 years | |
Concession Belmond Palacio Nazarenas | 30 years | |
Concession Belmond Sanctuary Lodge | 26 years | |
Software | 10 years |
(l) Goodwill
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assets that are not amortized as there is no foreseeable limit to cash flows generated from them.
Goodwill is evaluated at least annually to determine impairment. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually using a two-step method: first, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying value and, second, if there is an implied impairment (the carrying value is greater than the fair value), the measurement of the amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
28
(m) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s management evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets if certain trigger events occur. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, sales of similar assets, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets based on its plans, at the time, for such assets and such qualitative factors as future development in the surrounding area, status of expected local competition and projected incremental income from renovations. Changes to the Company's plans, including a decision to dispose of or change the intended use of an asset, can have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset.
(n) Capital leasing
For capital leasing transactions, the method used consists of showing the total cost of the contract under fixed assets and its corresponding liability. Financial expenses are charged to operations in the period in which they become due, and depreciation of assets is charged to operations based on their useful life.
(o) Employees’ length of service compensation
The provision for employees’ length of service compensation included under taxes and other accounts payable is charged to operations as the compensation becomes due.
(p) Revenue recognition for accommodation services and food and beverage sales
Hotel and restaurant revenue is recognized when the rooms are occupied and the services are performed. Deferred revenue consisting of deposits paid in advance is recognized as revenue when the services are performed.
(q) Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the placement of long-term debt are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
(r) Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including interest rate risk and exchange rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management program tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Management, based on its knowledge and experience, seeks to mitigate the exchange rate, interest rate, credit and liquidity risks by following the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The most important aspects of these risks are:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations at their maturity at a fair value. The Company mitigates this risk through its procedures to monitor and manage asset and liability maturity dates, so that the Company can be best prepared for the flow of cash to match future payments.
Credit risk
The Company’s financial assets that are potentially exposed to concentration of credit risk are mainly trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and from shareholders, and various accounts receivable.
Interest rate risk
The Company´s exposure to this risk arises from changes in the interest rates in its financial assets and liabilities. The majority of the Company's long-term debt is subject to a fixed interest rate.
29
Exchange rate risk
The Company carries out its transactions mostly in foreign currency, but management estimates that due to the short-term nature, any fluctuation will not materially adversely affect the results of the Company’s operations.
(s) Employee profit sharing
In accordance with Peruvian law, employee profit sharing is limited to 18 times an employee’s monthly average salary. The excess of calculated statutory employee profit sharing is paid to the Peruvian government and is treated as an additional tax. The Company’s practice is to recognize the employee profit sharing as part of operating cost and any excess profit sharing is recognized as part of current income tax. The Company has a 5% rate for calculating employee profit sharing. To date, no excess profit sharing has been recognized.
(t) Fair value measurements
Guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures (i) applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis, (ii) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements, and (iii) enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
Guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, namely quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data (Level 2), and unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3).
The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications annually. Changes in significant observable valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger reclassification of fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and liabilities. These reclassifications are reported as transfers in Level 3 at their fair values at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs and as transfers out at their fair values at the end of the period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented.
(u) Recently issued and adopted accounting guidance
Accounting pronouncements adopted during the year
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The standard does not otherwise affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, which would continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. Additionally, the other areas of U.S. GAAP that prescribe the accounting treatment for third-party debt issuance costs will not be affected. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2015 and debt issuance costs previously included in Other assets on the balance sheets have been reclassified accordingly. Debt issuance costs included in Long-term debt on the balance sheets were $301,000 at December 31, 2015 (unaudited) (2014 - $343,000 (unaudited)).
In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires entities to present deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") as non-current in a classified balance sheet, in a simplification of the current guidance which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current or non-current in a classified balance sheet. Netting of DTAs and DTLs by tax jurisdiction is still required under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2015; this early adoption resulted in a reclassification of the net current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax liability in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
30
Accounting pronouncements to be adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year, to apply to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern”. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued its new standard on accounting for leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. A distinction between finance leases and operating leases is retained, with the result that the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous lease guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
2. Concessions and long lease agreements
(a) | In March 1999, the Company acquired the concession of Monastery San Antonio de Abad in Cusco where Belmond Hotel Monasterio operates. The term of the concession contract was ten obligatory years, renewable for ten additional years, counted as from April 1996. During the concession term, the Archbishopry of Cusco would receive a monthly fixed consideration of $6,519 and an amount equivalent to 4.5% of the total monthly gross revenues generated at Belmond Hotel Monasterio. In September 2000, an amendment to such contract was entered into setting forth a new term of 15 obligatory years as from the signature of the amendment and 15 additional years. In September 2007, a document was signed terminating the concession contract and the amendment thereto, and creating a long lease agreement, for the usufruct of Monastery San Antonio de Abad del Cusco (currently Belmond Hotel Monasterio) and of certain furniture and fixtures owned by the Archbishopry of Cusco, for a term of 30 years as from the signature of the contract. Such contact provides that the Archbishopry of Cusco will receive the following considerations: $13,492 annually readjustable based on the consumer price index and an additional amount of 4.5% of the total monthly gross revenues generated by Belmond Hotel Monasterio. In addition, a contract was entered into providing the form to compute the term of the lease referred to in the previous contract, and giving the Company the option, every five years, to extend the term of lease for five additional years up to six times. |
(b) | In March 1999, the concession of Hotel de Turistas located in Machu Picchu was acquired. The term of the concession contract is 20 obligatory years, renewable for ten additional years, counted as from May 1995. Such contract provides that during the concession term, the Cusco Region will receive a monthly fixed consideration of $7,159 and an additional amount equivalent to 6% of the total monthly gross revenues generated at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge. In December 2013, the Company extended the concession for an additional ten years to May 2025. |

(c) | In March 1999, the Company entered a long lease agreement with limited use and operation of the former Convent Las Nazarenas located next to Belmond Hotel Monasterio. Such contract had a term of 21 years and 5 months as from March 1999 and the monthly rent amounted to $7,500 annually readjustable based on the consumer price index. In March 2005, an amendment to such contract was entered into for a term of 20 years, providing a monthly rent of $9,000 for a term of two years and eight months, considered as “pre-operating stage”, and a monthly compensation equivalent to the higher of $20,000 or 4.5% of the gross operating revenues, for a term of 17 years and four months to be computed as from completion of the “pre-operating stage”, until September 2012. In January 2010, a new amendment to the contract was signed to extend the period to 30 years calculated from March 2005 to March 2035, with the option to sign a new contract with the same terms for a period of seven years and eight months. |
During the term of the long lease agreements, any improvements to real and personal properties included in the concessions and any other assets that may be acquired to be used in the hotel business will be owned by the original assignors (the Archbishopry of Cusco in the case of the Concession of Monastery San Antonio de Abad del Cusco and Convent Las Nazarenas and the Cusco Region in the case of the Concession of Hotel de Turistas located at Machu Picchu) at the expiration of the contracts, with no reimbursement. At the end of the lease terms (in accordance with specific clauses therein), all fixed assets will be transferred to the owner.

Non-current portion of long-term debt | 17,132 | 16,815 |
In June 2014 the Company signed a loan agreement with Scotiabank Peru SAA for $ 25,000,000. The loan consists of two tranches. The first tranche of $20,000,000 was disbursed in June 2014 and used to repay an existing loan with BBVA Banco Continental and Banco Internacional del Peru SAA-Interbank. The second tranche was partly disbursed in November 2015 and used to buy land for the expansion of Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado.
Both tranches amortize quarterly and have a final maturity of June 2020. The final balloon payment for tranche one is 52.1% of the amount drawn and for tranche two is 62.5% of the amount drawn. The interest rate on tranche one is 4.95% per annum and for tranche two is 5.80%.
The loans are secured by:
• | Trust assets on movable goods incorporated or to be incorporated into the Hotel Monasterio, Hotel Palacio Nazarenas and concession contracts. |
• | Trust flows on income generated by the Company. |
• | Assignment of rights, whereby the Company and Belmond Peru S.A. cedes to its creditors its contractual position in the "Management Agreement" subscribed for the administration of Company hotels. |

9. Fair value of financial instruments
(a) Fair value of financial instruments
Certain methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, working capital facilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of debt is calculated by discounting back future interest and principal payments using a discount factor which reflects the Company’s current credit metrics. This factor is derived from credit analysis using inputs such as profit, cash generation, and level of debt.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:
December 31, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||
Carrying amount | Fair value | Carrying amount | Fair value | |||||||||
$’000 | $’000 | $’000 | $’000 | |||||||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | (unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||||||
Long-term debt, including current portion, before deduction of debt issuance costs | 19,500 | 20,408 | 19,167 | 20,223 |
(b) Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
There were no non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
10. Income taxes
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Year ended December 31, | $’000 | $’000 | $’000 | ||||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | ||||||||
Earnings before income tax | 3,274 | 2,658 | 3,099 | ||||||
Current income tax charge | (2,088 | ) | (1,331 | ) | (64 | ) | |||
Deferred income tax credit/(charge) | 2,080 | 2,380 | (1,033 | ) | |||||
Total | (8 | ) | 1,049 | (1,097 | ) |
35
The reconciliations of the Peru income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Year ended December 31, | % | % | % | ||||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | ||||||||
Peru income tax rate | 28 | 30 | 30 | ||||||

Permanent differences | (4 | ) | 15 | 44 | |||||
Exchange rate movements on deferred tax | (35 | ) | (75 | ) | (42 | ) | |||
Effective tax rate | — | (37 | ) | 34 |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The following represents the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities:
2015 | 2014 | |||||
December 31, | $’000 | $’000 | ||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||
Provisions included in books | 1,295 | 1,359 | ||||
Other deferred income tax assets | 493 | — | ||||
Deferred income tax assets | 1,788 | 1,359 | ||||
Fixed assets and intangibles | (5,139 | ) | (6,245 | ) | ||
Exchange rate related to fixed assets | 151 | (1,141 | ) | |||
Other deferred tax liabilities | (2,931 | ) | (2,184 | ) | ||
Deferred income tax liabilities | (7,919 | ) | (9,570 | ) | ||
Net deferred income tax liabilities | (6,131 | ) | (8,211 | ) |
The Company early-adopted ASU 2015-17 effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU resulted in a reclassification of the net current deferred tax liability to the net non-current deferred tax liability in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted. Net non-current deferred tax liabilities are presented on the face of the balance sheet. The Company required no provision in respect of uncertain tax positions and believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months this provision will not change.
11. Shareholders’ equity
(a) Share capital
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's share capital consisted of 84,000 fully subscribed and paid shares with a par value of S/1,000 each, all carrying the same rights.
The shareholders of the Company are as follows:
Number of shares | Percentage ownership | |||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||
Belmond Peru Ltd. | 42,000 | 50 | ||||

84,000 | 100 |
36
(b) Legal reserve
In accordance with Peruvian law, a minimum 10% of the annual profits that can be distributed have to be transferred to a legal reserve until it equals 20% of the paid-in capital. The legal reserve can be used only to offset losses, but must be replenished and cannot be distributed as dividends, except in case of liquidation. The Company may capitalize the legal reserve but must replenish it in the year immediately after profits are obtained.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company increased its legal reserve by the amount of $171,000 (unaudited) (2014 - $341,000 (unaudited)), which was set aside from earnings corresponding to the 2015 period. Calculations of the legal reserve are based on locally prepared financial statements in accordance with “Ley General de Sociedades” in Peru.
(c) Retained earnings
Retained earnings may be capitalized or distributed as dividends, by resolution of the shareholders. The Company´s distributable profits are limited to the amount of retained earnings available under local statutory provisions. From 2003, dividends and any other form of distributed profit are subject to a withholding tax at a 4.1% rate on profits earned before January 1, 2015 and a 6.8% rate on profits earned subsequently, applied to the distributed amount to be borne by the shareholders who are individuals, whether or not domiciled in Peru, or who are juridical persons not domiciled in Peru. Any dividends distribution must be proportionate to the shareholders’ contribution.
In the General Meeting of Shareholders held on December 23, 2014 it was agreed to distribute dividends of $2,900,000. Also, in the General Meeting of Shareholders held on November 10, 2014 it was agreed to capitalize the amount of S/6,872,000 (equivalent to $2,347,000).
12. Employees’ profit sharing
According to Peruvian law, employees have a share of 5% of the Company profits before income tax. Employees’ profit sharing is computed on the taxable net income balance of the year subject to tax, as assessed for local purposes. See Note 1(s).
13. Information by segments
Accounting standards require that the Company present financial information by segments. Segments are determined by the form in which the management organizes the Company to make decisions and assess the business performance. In this regard, management considers that the Company operates one single reportable segment, all within the country of Peru.
14. Supplemental cash flow information

These loans do not bear interest and are payable upon demand.
37
As of December 31, 2015, accounts payable comprise mainly:
• | $Nil (unaudited) (2014 - $20,000 (unaudited)) payable to Belmond Ltd. related mainly to accounts payable for its role as guarantor of financial obligations of the Company and $686,000 (unaudited) (2014 - $2,923,000 (unaudited)) for advertising services and reimbursements of other operating expenses on behalf of the Company that are invoiced quarterly. |

The balance at December 31, 2015 also includes $4,000 (unaudited) (2014 - $2,000 (unaudited)) generated by commercial transactions and reimbursement of expenses related to the operations of the Company.

HOTEL RITZ MADRID S.A.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hotel Ritz Madrid, S.A.:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hotel Ritz Madrid, S.A. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity for the year then ended.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hotel Ritz Madrid, S.A. at December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1(b) to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is out of compliance with its mortgage loan facility covenants that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1(b). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainly. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Hotel Ritz Madrid S.A.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies and basis of presentation
(a) Business
In this report Hotel Ritz Madrid S.A. is referred to as the “Company”. The Company owns and operates Hotel Ritz by Belmond in Madrid, Spain.
Prior to May 21, 2015, the Company was 50% owned indirectly by Belmond Ltd. (“BEL”) and 50% owned indirectly by Omega Capital S.L. (“Omega”). On May 21, 2015, Belmond and Omega sold the shares in the Company for gross proceeds of €130,000,000.
(b) Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis in the assets and liabilities and the historical results of operations directly attributable to the Company in the normal course of business.
“FASB” means Financial Accounting Standards Board. “ASC” means the Accounting Standards Codification of the FASB and “ASU” means an Accounting Standards Update of the FASB.
On May 21, 2015, Belmond and Omega sold the shares in the Company for gross proceeds of €130,000,000. As a result, financial statements are presented for the period up to May 21, 2015 when Belmond ceased to have any ownership interests in Hotel Ritz Madrid S.A.
As noted in Note 6 below, at May 21, 2015, the Company was out of compliance with a debt service coverage ratio in its first mortgage loan facility, which was non-recourse to the shareholders, although each shareholder had provided a separate partial guarantee. A total of €52,500,000 had been borrowed under this loan facility at May 21, 2015. The Company has continued to service fully the interest and principal repayments as these fell due, including a principal repayment of €4,000,000 in April 2015, and on May 21, 2015 the debt was fully repaid.
(c) Estimates
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions the Company believes are reasonable based on the relevant facts and circumstances of the estimate. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates include, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived asset impairment, depreciation and amortization, taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company is the euro which is also the local currency and the reporting currency of the Company.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings as they occur. Transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized in earnings as they occur.
44
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less.
(f) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company states its accounts receivable at their estimated net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for specifically identified estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
(g) Inventories
Inventories include food, beverages, operational equipment (linen, glass and uniforms), operating stocks (guest amenities, printing materials, etc.) and retail goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value under the weighted average method.
(h) Income taxes
Current portion of income tax
The amount of income taxes paid or payable is determined by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess deductions over revenues for the year. The rates used and regulations applied to compute the amount are those enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred portion of income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events that have been recognized in the financial statements but have not yet been reflected in the Company’s income tax returns, or vice versa.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are measured at enacted statutory rates and are adjusted as enacted rates change. Prior to 2015, classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities corresponded with the classification of the underlying assets and liabilities giving rise to the temporary differences or the period of expected reversal, as applicable. In 2015 the Company adopted new guidance whereby all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on available evidence.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets, management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, which includes reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Management reassesses the need for valuation allowances at each reporting date. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance will increase or reduce respectively the income tax expense in the period in which there has been a change in judgment.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Management recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to uncertain tax positions, and adjusts these liabilities when judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which the actual tax liabilities are determined or the statute of limitations has expired. Liabilities for uncertain tax benefits are included in the balance sheets and classified as current or non-current liabilities depending on the expected timing of payment.
45
(i) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of significant renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated, while expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description | Useful lives | |
Buildings | Up to 40 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 25 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 to 15 years | |
Computer equipment | 4 years | |
Art and antiques | Not depreciated |
(j) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s management evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets if certain trigger events occur. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is charged to current earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, sales of similar assets, appraisals and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets based on its plans, at the time, for such assets and such qualitative factors as future development in the surrounding area, status of expected local competition and projected incremental income from renovations. Changes to the Company's plans, including a decision to dispose of or change the intended use of an asset, can have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset.
There were no impairments of property, plant and equipment in the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €Nil (unaudited); 2013 - €137,000).
(k) Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, goodwill must be evaluated at least annually to determine whether an impairment is required. Goodwill is not amortized. The goodwill impairment testing under ASC 350 is performed in two steps; first, the determination of impairment based upon the fair value of a reporting unit as compared with its carrying value and second, if there is an implied impairment, the measurement of the amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Impairment testing is performed annually.
In the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015, no impairment losses relating to goodwill have been identified or recorded (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €Nil (unaudited); 2013 - €Nil).
(l) Trademark intangible asset
Trademarks have an indefinite useful life and are reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. In the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015, no impairment losses relating to the trademark intangible asset have been identified or recorded (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €200,000 (unaudited); 2013 - €11,100,000).
(m) Capitalized interest
Capitalized interest during the construction of qualifying assets is capitalized and included in the cost of the asset. No amounts were capitalized and included in the cost of assets for the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €Nil (unaudited); 2013 - €Nil).
46
(n) Employees' deferred retirement benefit
The provision for the employees’ deferred retirement benefit (“Premio de Vinculación”) is accrued according to the clauses defined in the Collective Agreement, as follows:
- When employees aged between 50 and 59 years and with a minimum seniority of 10 years in the Company, leave the Company for any reason, except through legitimate dismissal by a judgment, voluntary resignation, death, or total absolute or severe disability, without prejudice to other compensation they may be due, such employees shall have the right to the benefit in the amount indicated in the table below, according to the years of seniority and their age at the time they leave; and
- When employees aged 60 or older and with a minimum seniority of 10 years in the Company, leave the Company for any reason, except through legitimate dismissal by a judgment, voluntary resignation, death, or total absolute or severe disability, without prejudice to other compensation they may be due, such employees shall have the right to the benefit in the amount indicated in the table below, according to the years of seniority and their age at the time they leave.
In order to calculate this compensation, which shall be as indemnity, the monthly payments shall be made up of the basic salary established in the salary tables plus the personal supplement for consolidated seniority, according to the following table:
Payment to be received according to age | ||||||||||||||
Years of service seniority | 50 to 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 or more | |||||||
10 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | |||||||
15 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | |||||||
20 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | |||||||
25 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | |||||||
30 | 11 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | |||||||
35 | 12 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | |||||||
40 | 13 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | |||||||
45 | 14 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | |||||||
50 | 15 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 |
For example, according to the table above, an employee when reaching ten years of service and having 60 years of age will be entitled to receive a lump sum equal to seven times his monthly basic salary.
(o) Revenue recognition
Hotel and restaurant revenue is recognized when the rooms are occupied and the services are performed. Deferred revenue consisting of deposits paid in advance is recognized as revenue when the services are performed. Revenues are presented net of taxes.
Revenues in providing these services are recognized, as appropriate, when:
1. The amount of revenues can be reliably quantified;
2. The transaction-related economic benefits are likely to flow to the Company;
3. The degree of completion of the transaction, on the date of the balance, can be reliably quantified; and
4. | The costs incurred in providing the services, as well as those still to be incurred until completed, can be reliably quantified. |
(p) Marketing costs
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Marketing costs include costs of advertising and other marketing activities. These costs were €299,000 for the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €756,000 (unaudited); 2013 - €707,000).
47
(q) Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the placement of long-term debt are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
(r) Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management program tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Management, based on its knowledge and experience, seeks to mitigate the interest rate, credit and liquidity risks by following the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The most important aspects of these risks are:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that cash may not be available to pay obligations at their maturity at a fair value. The Company mitigates this risk through its procedures to monitor and manage asset and liability maturity dates, so that the Company can be best prepared for the flow of cash to match future payments. The Company may require funding from its shareholders to be able to honor its obligations with all stakeholders (suppliers, banks, employees and local government entities).
Credit risk
The Company’s financial assets that are potentially exposed to concentration of credit risk are mainly trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and from shareholders, and various accounts receivable.
Interest rate risk
The Company´s exposure to this risk arises from changes in the interest rates in its financial assets and liabilities. The Company keeps mainly long-term debt subject to a floating interest rate.
(s) Fair value measurements
Guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures (i) applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis, (ii) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements, and (iii) enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
FASB guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, namely quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data (Level 2), and unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3).
The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications annually. Changes in significant observable valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger reclassification of fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and liabilities. These reclassifications are reported as transfers in Level 3 at their fair values at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs and as transfers out at their fair values at the end of the period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy in all periods presented.
(t) Recently issued and adopted accounting guidance
Accounting pronouncements adopted during the year
In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The standard does not otherwise affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs, which would continue to be calculated using the interest method and be reported as interest expense. Additionally, the other areas of U.S. GAAP that prescribe the accounting treatment for third-party debt issuance costs will not be affected. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has adopted this guidance as of May 21, 2015 and debt
48
issuance costs previously included in Other assets on the balance sheets have been reclassified accordingly. Debt issuance costs included in Long-term debt on the balance sheets were €Nil at May 21, 2015 (unaudited) (December 31, 2014 - €731,000 (unaudited)).
In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance which requires entities to present deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") as non-current in a classified balance sheet, in a simplification of the current guidance which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current or non-current in a classified balance sheet. Netting of DTAs and DTLs by tax jurisdiction is still required under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has adopted this guidance as of May 21, 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
Accounting pronouncements to be adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to improve the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the new guidance. The guidance was originally effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015 the FASB confirmed that the effective date would be deferred by one year, to apply to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern”. The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued its new standard on accounting for leases, which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. A distinction between finance leases and operating leases is retained, with the result that the effect of leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous lease guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

2. Property, plant and equipment
The major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
May 21, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||
€’000 | €’000 | |||||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||
Land | 88,438 | 88,438 | ||||

Less: Accumulated depreciation | (24,008 | ) | (23,431 | ) | ||
Total property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation | 117,184 | 117,332 |
The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment for the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 was €577,000 (unaudited) (year ended December 31, 2014 - €1,480,000 (unaudited); 2013 - €1,559,000).
3. Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill impairment testing is performed in two steps: first, the determination of impairment based upon the fair value of the reporting unit as compared with its carrying value and, second, if there is an implied impairment, the measurement of the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill is deemed to be impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit for the goodwill impairment analysis. For purposes of step 1 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow methodology incorporating various assumptions and uncertainties that the Company believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available evidence, such as the future cash flows of the business, a full refurbishment of the hotel property, future growth rates (in a range between 8% and 26%), and the related discount rate of 8%. However, these assumptions and uncertainties are, by their very nature, highly judgmental. If the Company is unable to meet these forecasted results in future reporting periods, the Company may be required to record a charge in a future statement of operations for goodwill impairment charges.
The results of the step 1 goodwill impairment test concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying amount. As such, the Company performed the step 2 in its goodwill impairment test which concluded that the implied fair value of the goodwill was greater than the carrying value by €210,000.
Based on the results of the impairment analysis as of December 31, 2014, it was determined that no impairment loss would need to be recognized relating to the goodwill recorded.
No triggering events were identified in the period from period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 that required the carrying value of goodwill to be further tested for impairment.
50
4. Other intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of the following as of May 21, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
Trademark | Total | |||||
€’000 | €’000 | |||||
Carrying amount: | ||||||
Balance at January 1, 2014 | 10,900 | 10,900 | ||||

December 31, 2013 | 10,900 | 10,900 | ||||
December 31, 2014 (unaudited) | 10,700 | 10,700 | ||||
May 21, 2015 (unaudited) | 10,700 | 10,700 |
Trademarks have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment annually or when events indicate that impairment may have occurred.
No triggering events were identified in the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 that required the carrying value of the trademark intangible asset to be further tested for impairment.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company identified and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of €200,000 in respect of the Ritz trademark. The carrying value of the intangible asset was written down to fair value.
The intangible assets impairment testing requires an evaluation of the estimated fair value of each identified intangible asset against its carrying value. An impairment charge could be recorded if the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the intangible assets. The Company assessed the carrying value of its trademark intangible assets as at December 31, 2014 and concluded that an impairment charge of €200,000 was required to reduce its trademark intangible assets to their fair value. The fair value was estimated based on expected future cash flows that could be derived from licensing the brand to other hotel operators considering a royalty fee of 4% along with estimates of growth rates.
The Company understands that the trademark value is not simply related to the financial performance of the hotel but more to the wider performance of the hospitality market, and is also affected by the general trading environment and economic cycle.
As at May 21, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has €10,700,000 of trademark recorded as intangible assets. Subsequent intangible assets assessments could result in impairment due to future unfavorable developments, including lower occupancy rates, a lower penetration factor, lower room revenues and lower franchise fees.

(b) Fair value of financial instruments
Certain methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
The fair value of debt at May 21, 2015 is calculated based on the face value of the debt plus any break-up cost for the repayment before its maturity date.
The fair value of debt at December 31, 2014 is determined using the contractual cash flows and credit-adjusted discount curves. The fair value of the debt is the present value of those contractual cash flows which are discounted at the current market cost of the debt and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral.
The carrying values, estimated fair values and levels of the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s debt as of May 21, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows:
May 21, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||||
Carrying amount | Fair value | Carrying amount | Fair value | |||||||||||
€’000 | €’000 | €’000 | €’000 | |||||||||||

Long-term debt, including current portion, before deduction of debt issuance costs | Level 3 | 52,500 | 52,528 | 56,500 | 52,820 |
(c) Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
There were no non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 (unaudited). No triggering events were identified in the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 that required the carrying value of the trademark intangible asset to be further tested for impairment.
The estimated fair value of the Company's non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2014 was as follows:

The reconciliations of the Spain income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the period from January 1 to May 21, 2015 and the two years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Effective tax rate | 25 | 393 | 8 |
The high effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects a decrease in the statutory tax rate in Spain from 30% to 25% that was enacted in December 2014 and will be effective from 2016 onwards. This had the effect of reducing future potential deferred tax liabilities.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The following represents the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities:
May 21, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||
€’000 | €’000 | |||||

Deferred income tax liabilities | (27,219 | ) | (27,293 | ) | ||
Net deferred income tax liabilities | (15,778 | ) | (16,728 | ) |
54
The deferred tax assets consist primarily of tax loss carry-forwards. The gross amount of tax loss carry-forward is €35,453,000 (unaudited) at May 21, 2015. Of this amount, €6,200,000 will expire in the eight years ending December 31, 2023; €15,590,000 will expire in the five years ending December 31, 2028; and €13,663,000 will expire in the three years ending December 31, 2031. No valuation allowance has been provided against gross deferred tax assets as it is not thought more likely than not that the benefits associated with these assets will not be realized, according with the taxable bases projected by the Company taking as a base the management projections for the next years, and considering the recent tax pronouncements issued by the Spanish Tax Authorities.
The deferred tax liabilities consist primarily of differences between the tax basis of depreciable assets and the adjusted basis as reflected in the financial statements.
8. Shareholders’ equity
(a) Share capital
As of May 21, 2015, the Company's share capital consisted of 20,000 fully subscribed and paid shares with a par value of €3 each, all carrying the same rights. Additional paid-in capital amounts to €37,235,000 and is a distributable reserve.

Segments are determined by the form in which the management organizes the Company to make decisions and assess the business performance. In this regard, management considers that the Company operates one single reportable segment.
