REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the General Meeting of Partners of
J & S Audiovisual Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of J & S Audiovisual Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2016, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in patrimony and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of J & S Audiovisual Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., as at December 31, 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Mexico according with the ”Código de Ética Profesional del Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Públicos” (“IMCP Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with MFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| |
• | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| |
• | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
| |
• | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| |
• | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| |
• | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
| |
• | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entity or business activities to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement executive director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is who signs it.
Paragraph of emphasis
As mentioned in the Note 1 of the accompanying financial statements, the Company decided to recognize in its financial statements the effects of Deferred Income Tax and Employee Profit Sharing Tax based on the guidelines established in the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards D-4 and D-3 respectively, for which the financial statements as at December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended were restated.
Our audit opinion and the accompanying financial statements and footnotes have been translated from the original Spanish version into English for convenience purposes only.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2016 and 2015
(Amounts in Mexican pesos, unless otherwise indicated)
1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
J&S Audiovisual Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (collectively “the Company”) was incorporated under the Mexican Legislation on October 30, 2000, primarily to provide rental of audio and video equipment, as well as the assembly and design of scenography of events and conventions, as well as the export of audiovisual services.
The Company’s operating period and fiscal year is from January 1 through December 31.
On 20 April 2017, the financial statements and these notes were authorized by the Company’s Finance Director, M.D.F. Nelson Tamay, for their issue and subsequent approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders, who have the authority to modify the financial statements, authorized the financial statements and these notes. Information on subsequent events covers the period from January 1 2017 through the above-mentioned issue date of the financial statements.
Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Compliance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”)
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS” or “Mexican FRS”).
b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical-cost basis, except for non-monetary items that were acquired or recognized in the financial statements before December 31 2007; as such, items reflect the cumulative effects of inflation from their initial recognition date through December 31 2007.
The amounts shown in the financial statements and these notes are in Mexican pesos (Ps.), except where otherwise indicated.
The annual rate of inflation in Mexico for 2016 and 2015, as determined based on the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) published by the National Statistical and Geographical Information Agency (INEGI, by its acronym in Spanish), was 3.36% and 2.13%, respectively. While the cumulative inflation rate for the three prior years was 9.87% and 10.52%, respectively, under Mexican FRS, this cumulative inflation rate represents the necessary condition for considering Mexico as having a non-inflationary economic environment, which means that the financial statements should be prepared on a historical-cost basis.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Retrospective recognition of accounting changes by the adoption of MFRS D-3 “Employee Benefits”.
As of January 1 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted the New Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits on their financial statements, in accordance with Mexican FRS B-1 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The adoption of Mexican FRS D-3 gave rise to the following key accounting changes for the Company starting on the date of adoption: a) the Company adopted the policy of immediately recognizing actuarial gains and losses as remeasurements in other comprehensive income (OCI), which are recycled to profit or loss in a subsequent period based on the average remaining working lives of the employees that expected to receive benefits in profit or loss ; b) the Company adopted the policy of immediately recognizing the effects of plan amendments (past service cost) in profit or loss; c) the Company recorded a significant increase [reduction] in its liability for employee benefits in 2016 as a result of using a discount rate determined by reference to market yields on high-quality corporate bonds instead of government bond rates, which the Company had used until December 31 2015; d) termination benefits for which there are no so-called pre-existing obligations and that represent non-cumulative benefits are not recognized until the benefit is actually paid, and termination benefits with so-called pre-existing obligations and that represent cumulative benefits as a result of such pre-existing obligations are recognized as post-employment benefits.
In accordance with the transitory rules set out in paragraph 80 of the New Mexican FRS D-3, the Company applied the following accounting treatment to the unamortized items indicated in the former Mexican FRS D-3:
| |
a) | The total balance of changes to the plan (past service) pending accounting recognition was adjusted by affecting the initial balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2015. |
Retrospective recognition of accounting recognition of MFRS D-4 “Deferred Income Taxes”
a) As mentioned in “Paragraph of emphasis” in 2016, the Company decided to recognize in its financial Statements the effect of deferred taxes based on the provisions of MFRS D-4, a fact by which the financial statements were restructured in 2015 to its determination see paragraph (o) Income Tax.
The effects of these accounting changes on the financial statements as at December 31 2015 are as follows:

c) Revenue recognition
Service revenue
The Company recognizes its revenue following the guidelines of International Accounting Standard 18 (IAS 18) Revenue issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which it has applied on a supplementary basis since its incorporation, because Mexican FRS do not specifically address revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the service at the end of the reporting period. Revenue from a given transaction may be measured reliably when all the following conditions have been met:
| |
(i) | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably |
| |
(ii) | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity |
| |
(iii) | The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period may be measured reliably, and |
| |
(iv) | The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably |
Revenues for services of assembly and design of scenography are recognized at the time the service is rendered, according to the clauses established in the contracts.
The revenues from leasing audio and video equipment are recognized at the time the equipment rents are accrued according to the terms stipulated in the respective contracts.

d) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Mexican FRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions in certain areas. The Company based its estimates on the best available information at the time the financial statements were prepared. However, the existing circumstances and assumptions about future events may change due to changes in the market or circumstances that are beyond the Company’s control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions as they occur.
The key assumption used as at December 31 2016 and 2015 to calculate those estimates that may represent a significant risk of requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods is as follows:
Impairment in the value of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
e) Cash
Cash and cash equivalents principally consist of bank deposits and liquid investments with maturities of less than 90 days. Cash is stated at fair value.
f) Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company’s policy is to provide for doubtful accounts on the balance of accounts receivable more than 90 days old, while also taking into consideration its past collection experience and accounts specifically identified as potentially uncollectible.
The Company evaluates annually the collectability of accounts due from related parties by examining their financial position and the market in which each of the related parties operates.
g) Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses are recognized as assets as of the date the payment is made, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company. At the time the goods or services are received, prepaid expenses are either capitalized or recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on whether there is certainty that the acquired goods or services will generate future economic benefits.
The Company periodically evaluates prepaid expenses to determine the probability that these assets will no longer generate future economic benefits and to assess their recoverability. Unrecoverable amounts are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as impairment losses.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recognized at cost. In the case of assets requiring a substantial period to get them ready for use, the Company capitalizes the borrowing cost incurred during the construction or installation phases of the assets.
The cost of acquiring property, plant and equipment includes the costs initially incurred to acquire or build the asset, plus costs subsequently incurred to replace the asset or enhance its service capability. For machinery and equipment made up of components with different estimated useful lives, the major individual components are depreciated over their individual useful lives. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on the assets’ carrying amounts on a straight-line basis (since management considers that this method best reflects the use of these assets) and over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see note 5).
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, when the asset is derecognized.
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed whenever there are indicators of impairment in the value of such assets. When the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset’s expected net selling price and its value in use (the present value of future cash flows) is less than its net carrying amount, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
For the years ended as at December 31 2016 and 2015, there were no indicators of impairment.
i) Leases
Lease agreements are recognized as capital leases if the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee upon termination of the lease, the agreement includes an option to purchase the asset at a reduced price, the term of the lease is substantially the same as the remaining useful life of the leased asset, or the present value of minimum lease payments is substantially the same as the market value of the leased asset, net of any future benefit or scrap value.
When the risks and rewards inherent to the ownership of the leased good remain substantially with the lessor, they are classified as operating leases. Rent is recognized in the income statement as incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
j) Accrued liabilities, provisions, contingent liabilities and commitments
Provisions are recognized when (i) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are recognized only when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. In addition, commitments are only recognized when they will generate a loss.
k) Net defined benefit liability
Seniority premiums are paid to workers as required by Mexican Labor Law. Additionally, under Mexican Labor Law, the Company is liable to make certain payments to workers who terminate employment or are dismissed in certain circumstances.
The Company annually recognizes the liability for seniority premiums and termination benefits for so-called “pre-existing obligations” is based on independent actuarial calculations applying the projected unit credit method, using financial assumptions net of inflation.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, are immediately recognized in the statement of financial position with the effect recognized in OCI, and they are recycled to profit or loss in a subsequent period based on the average remaining working lives of the employees expected to receive the benefits of the current plan.
Past service costs are recognized at the earlier of the following dates:
| |
• | When the plan amendment or curtailment occurs |
| |
• | When the Company recognizes related restructuring costs. |
l) Employee profit sharing (EPS)
Current and deferred employee profit sharing are presented as part of costs or expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred employee profit sharing is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred employee profit sharing is determined by applying the 10% rate to all temporary differences between the values of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred employee profit sharing assets and if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized.
m) Exchange differences
Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of the related transactions. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date.
Exchange differences from the transaction date to the time foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are settled, as well as those arising from the translation of foreign currency denominated balances at the date of the statement of financial position, are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
n) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income represents the increase or decrease in earned capital from net income or loss for the year, components of other comprehensive income (OCI) and the Company’s share in the OCI of other entities. Other comprehensive income represents accrued income and expenses, which are pending completion and in 2016 basically consists of the application of MFRS D-3.
o) Income tax
Current income tax
Current income tax is recognized as a current liability, net of prepayments made during the year.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized on all temporary differences between financial reporting and tax values of assets and liabilities, applying the enacted income tax rate as of the date of the statement of financial position, or the enacted rate at the date of the statement of financial position that will be in effect when the temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred tax assets and if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized.
p) Statement of comprehensive income presentation
Costs and expenses shown in the Company’s statement of comprehensive income are presented based on their function, since such classification allows for an accurate evaluation of both gross profit and operating margins.
Although the presentation of operating income is not required, this caption is shown in the statement of comprehensive income, since it is an important indicator used for evaluating the Company’s operating results.
q) New accounting pronouncements
Improvements to Mexican FRS for 2016
Improvements have been made to Mexican FRS that gave rise to accounting changes related to the valuations and disclosures in the financial statements, and to financial statement presentation. Improvements that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 include:
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(i) Mexican FRS C-1 Cash and Cash Equivalents and Mexican FRS B-2 Statement of Cash Flows
Mexican FRS C-1 Cash and Cash Equivalents and Mexican FRS B-2 Statement of Cash Flows, were amended to clarify that the definition of cash includes foreign currency, and to define cash equivalents as investments that an entity maintains to meet its short-term commitments. In both standards, the term “liquid investments” has been replaced by the term “highly-liquid investments”, since this wording is thought to be more precise. These changes were made to the standards in order to align the meanings of these terms to the definitions established in International Accounting Standard 7 (IAS 7) Statement of Cash Flows.
In the case of cash valuation and cash equivalents, several changes were made to Mexican FRS C-1 Cash and Cash Equivalents to specify that since cash and cash equivalents is a financial instrument, like any other financial instrument, it should be measured at fair value upon initial recognition, and highly-liquid instruments should be measured at fair value following the guidelines provided in the accounting standard for financial instruments.
The Company is analyzing what effects the adoption of these new accounting rules will have on its financial statements.
(ii) Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2 Financial Instruments; Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2; Mexican FRS B-10 Effects of Inflation, and Mexican accounting Bulletin C-9 Accrued Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments
The definition of available-for-sale financial instruments set forth in the Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2 was modified to make it consistent with the guidelines provided in Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2.
For purposes of convergence of Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C‑2 with IFRS, the Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C‑2 includes a number of clarifications regarding the criteria to be followed for classifying a financial instrument as held to maturity.
Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2 and its amendment, as well as Mexican accounting Bulletin C‑9, were modified to include the concept of transaction cost rather than purchase cost, which is consistent with the wording of IFRS.
Also, Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2 and its amendment were modified to require that subsequent adjustments to the fair value of financial instruments should be recognized, as appropriate, in profit or loss or through comprehensive income for the period.
The Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C-2 was modified to stipulate that available-for-sale financial instruments in foreign currency gains and losses and monetary position gains or losses should be recognized in profit or loss.
In addition, the Amendment to Mexican accounting Bulletin C‑2 was modified to stipulate that previously recognized impairment of held-to-maturity financial instruments might be reversed, which is consistent with IFRS.
The Company is analyzing what effects the adoption of these new accounting rules will have on its financial statements.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The following new accounting pronouncements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2016, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2015:
(i) Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits
The Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Board (Consejo Mexicano de Normas de Información Financiera, A.C. or CINIF, by its acronym in Spanish) issued the New Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits, which superseded the accounting standard of the same name that was issued in 2008. The most important changes contained in the new standard are as follows:
a) Corridor approach or change band – The new Mexican FRS D-3 eliminates the recognition of post-employment benefits for using the corridor approach or a percentage change band for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses under which actuarial gains and losses could be deferred. Instead, all actuarial gains and losses must be recognized immediately in the respective provisions as they arise. As so‑called remeasurements, these adjustments are to be immediately recognized in other comprehensive income but must subsequently be recycled through profit or loss,
b) Plan asset ceiling – the new Mexican FRS D-3 establishes an asset ceiling for determining an entity’s maximum obligation for post-employment benefits.
c) Plan amendments, curtailments, and gains and losses from settlement - the New Mexican FRS D‑3 requires immediate recognition of the effects of these events.
d) Discount rate – the New Mexican FRS D-3 establishes that the discount rate and the assumptions considered determining the present value of labor obligations should reflect the economic environment in which the entity operates. Mexican FRS D-3 also establishes that the calculation of the discount rate for the defined benefit obligation for post-employment benefits should be determined by reference to market yields on high-quality corporate bonds or when no such information is available, by reference to market yields on government bonds.
e) Termination benefits – regarding benefits paid for voluntary and non-voluntary separation of employees, the New Mexican FRS D-3 requires the entity to perform an analysis to determine if the payment in question qualifies as a termination benefit or post-employment benefit, and since the accounting treatment of these payments depends on this classification.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
The following new standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2018, with early adoption permitted:
(i) Mexican FRS C-3 Accounts Receivable
The principal accounting changes contained in Mexican FRS C-3 are as follows:
a) This new accounting standard establishes that accounts receivable that arise as the result of a contract represent a financial instrument. Although certain accounts receivable arising as the result of a legal right or stemming from tax balances often have characteristics of a financial instrument, as generating interests, they are not actually financial instruments.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
b) An entity’s assessment regarding the non-recoverability of trade accounts receivable should be recognized from the time the balance is due from the counterparty based on the expected credit loss. This amount should be recognized in an entity’s statement of income as part of an existing expense caption, or in a separate expense caption when the amount of the expected loss is material.
c) From initial recognition, the value of accounts receivable should be adjusted to reflect the time value of money. Whenever the time value of money is material on the basis of the term of the account receivable, the account receivable should be adjusted to present value. The effect of present value is considered material whenever the agreed upon term of full or partial payment of the account receivable is more than one year, since it is assumed that the account receivable represents a financing transaction.
d) Mexican FRS C-3 requires entities to present an analysis of the beginning balance and ending balance of their bad debt estimates in their financial statements.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2016, provided that the new standard is adopted together with Mexican FRS C-20 Financial Assets.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Mexican FRS C-9 Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments
The new Mexican FRS C-9 Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments will supersede Mexican accounting Bulletin C-9 Accrued Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments. The most important changes contained in the New Mexican FRS C-9 are as follows:
a) the accounting treatment for financial liabilities is no longer addressed in Mexican accounting Bulletin C-9, since this matter is now addressed in the new Mexican FRS C‑19 Financial Liabilities, and
b) The definition of liability has been modified to eliminate the “virtually certain” criteria and include the term probable “outflow of resources”.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2016, if the new standard is adopted together with Mexican FRS C‑19 Financial Liabilities.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(iii) Mexican FRS D-1 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
One of the overriding aims of the release of Mexican FRS D-1 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is to achieve more consistent revenue recognition practices by eliminating the supplementary application of International Accounting Standard 18 (IAS 18) Revenue and its interpretations, since this practice generally led to the application of a wide range of differing application criteria among entities in Mexico.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The critical aspects of the new revenue recognition model that will likely result in significant changes for entities are described below:
a) Under Mexican FRS D-1, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control, while IAS 18 requires revenue from sales of goods to be recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and revenue from services to be recognized when the service has been provided;
b) Mexican FRS D‑1 includes the concept of performance obligations, while IAS 18 includes few requirements of this kind for revenue recognition and only stipulates that revenue may be recognized for “separately identifiable components” of a single transaction, without providing any guidance regarding exactly what a “separately identifiable component” is;
c) Mexican FRS D-1 includes the concept of allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations based on stand-alone selling prices, in contrast to the previously applied accounting standard, which includes no general requirements regarding the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations;
d) Mexican FRS D-1 introduces the concept of a conditional account receivable, which is an account receivable that requires satisfaction of another obligation within the same contract;
e) Mexican FRS D-1 allows the recognition of a right to payment, which is an entity’s unconditional right to an amount of consideration without the need to first satisfy a performance obligation. Under the previously applied accounting standard, this right to payment is disclosed but not recognized. In these cases, the entity may only recognize the revenue after control of the promised good or service has been transferred to the customer; and
f) Mexican FRS D-1 addresses the identification of transaction price. Under the previously applied accounting standard, the amount of revenue arising from a transaction is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, but this standard provided no guidance regarding how to apply this fair value principle. Mexican FRS D-1 sets out the requirements and provides guidance for estimating variable considerations, and it addresses other aspects, like the existence of significant financing components, non-cash considerations and considerations payable to a customer (including customer credit).
Mexican FRS D-1 eliminates the supplementary application of IAS 18 Revenue and its interpretations.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(iv) Mexican FRS D-2 Costs of Contracts with Customers
Mexican FRS D-2 Costs of Contracts with Customers is the result of the separation of Mexican accounting Bulletin D-7 Construction Contracts and Contracts for the Manufacturing of Certain Capital Goods into two separate standards. In effect, while the New Mexican FRS D-1 addresses the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, Mexican FRS D-2 addresses the recognition of costs of contracts with customers.
In addition, Mexican FRS D-2 broadens the scope of Mexican accounting Bulletin D‑7, since the latter standard only addressed the costs of construction contracts and contracts involving the manufacturing of certain capital goods, while Mexican FRS D‑2 addresses costs of all types of contracts with customers.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Both Mexican FRS D-2 and Mexican FRS D-1 will supersede Mexican accounting Bulletin D-7 Construction Contracts and Contracts for the Manufacturing of Certain Capital Goods, and Interpretation to Mexican FRS 14 Real Estate Construction, Sales and Service Agreements, except for matters regarding the accounting treatment for assets and liabilities related to these types of contracts, since this matter is addressed under other FRS.
(v) Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 Recognition of Benefits Paid for Employee Separations
The aim of Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 Recognition of Benefits Paid for Employee Separations is to clarify the appropriate accounting treatment for these employee benefits, in accordance with the new Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2016, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2015.
Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 specifies that entities must assess whether there are any so-called pre-existing obligations for payment of a benefit in order to determine if the benefit paid qualifies as a termination benefit or post-employment benefit, regardless of whether the separation of the employee was the result of voluntary or non-voluntary redundancy.
For purposes of the New Mexican FRS D-3, the practice of paying benefits for voluntary and involuntary redundancies, which creates a so-called pre-existing obligation for payment for the entity, qualifies as either a termination benefit or post-employment benefit and accordingly, the entity should record a provision based on the probability of payment of the benefit. In addition, provisions for termination benefits payable for reasons other than corporate restructurings that were previously recognized in accordance with the guidelines under the version of Mexican FRS D-3 that was effective until December 31 2015 should be reclassified as part of post‑employment benefits.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
Improvements to Mexican FRS for 2017
The new financial reporting rules that will give rise to accounting changes related to valuation, disclosures and presentation in the financial statements are as follows:
(i) Mexican FRS B-13 Events after the Reporting Period
Mexican FRS B-13 had originally established that long-term liabilities that become due and payable as the result of an entity’s breach of a contractual condition at the reporting date were to be reclassified to current liabilities at the reporting date, even when after the reporting date, the creditor has agreed not to demand payment from the entity.
However, based on recommendations received by the CINIF, Mexican FRS B-13 was amended to establish that if during the subsequent events period (i.e., from the reporting date to the date when the financial statements are authorized for issue) a debtor reaches an agreement with a creditor allowing the debtor to continue to make long-term payments against a liability contracted with long-term payment conditions, the entity may continue to recognize the debt as a long-term liability at the reporting date.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The CINIF, based on the economic substance postulate, indicated that in the case of bad debt arising after the reporting date, it is appropriate to maintain the long-term classification of the related financial assets or liabilities when a) the debt was originally contracted under long-term collection or payment conditions, and b) during the subsequent events period the debtor and creditor have reached an agreement for payment of the debt on a long-term basis. Mexican FRS B-13 was amended based on this conclusion, and changes were also made to the other standards that address this matter, which include Mexican FRS B-6 Statement of Financial Position, Mexican FRS C-19 Financial Liabilities, and Mexican C-20 Financial Assets.
This new accounting rule established in Mexican FRS B-13 is considered a more appropriate accounting treatment for this type of subsequent event and it is consistent with US GAAP. This accounting change represents a new difference between Mexican FRS and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that the CINIF has classified as a Type B difference, which means that the CINIF believes that the guidance provided in Mexican FRS is more appropriate and the difference will only be eliminated if the respective accounting rule in IFRS is amended to converge with Mexican FRS.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2016.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits
a)Discount rate for employee benefit liability valuation
Paragraph 45.5.9 of Mexican FRS D-3 previously established that the interest rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations (funded or unfunded) was to be determined by reference to market yields on high-quality corporate bonds or when no such information was available, by reference to market yields on government bonds.
However, based on recommendations received by the CINIF, Mexican FRS D-3 was amended to allow entities to elect to use either the government bond rate or the corporate bond rate to determine the discount rate.
In its analysis regarding this topic, the CINIF clarified that paragraph 45.5.9 of Mexican FRS D-3 requires the use of corporate bond rates or government bond rates to determine the present value of these long-term employee benefit obligations because the credit risk associated with these instruments is nil or extremely low and consequently, both rates represent the time value of money, and that for this reason the CINIF concluded that either of the two rates should be reliable and appropriate for determining the discount rate.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2017, with early adoption permitted.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
| |
b) | Treatment of remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability |
Paragraph 45.4.4 c) of Mexican FRS D-3 previously established that the difference between the final net defined benefit liability determined based on paragraph b) and the expected net defined benefit liability determined based on paragraph a) should be recognized as a remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability in other comprehensive income (OCI), as set forth in section 45.7 of the accounting standard.
The CINIF amended Mexican FRS D-3 to allow entities to elect to recognize the remeasurements referred to in paragraph 45.4.4 in either OCI, as previously required by the accounting standard, or in profit or loss at the time the remeasurements are determined.
The CINIF believes that to option to recognize remeasurements in either OCI or profit or loss is a more practical accounting treatment for this item.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 2017, with early adoption permitted.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

| |
1) | Property, plant and equipment |
For Mexican FRS purposes, initial recognition of plant, property and equipment include the costs initially incurred to acquire or build the asset, plus costs subsequently incurred to replace the asset or enhance its service capability. For machinery and equipment, components with different estimated useful lives are depreciated over their individual useful lives.
Under US GAAP, depreciation of Property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives, even when the application of different depreciation rates and useful lives to components of machinery and equipment is permitted, it is not a common practice under this accounting framework.
As a result of the difference mentioned above, the balance of plant, property and equipment decreased by Ps. 413,970 and Ps. 383,188 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively, having an effect on the deferred income tax determination.
Depreciation expense decreased by Ps. 31,065 and Ps. 43,728 for the periods starting on January 1st to December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Employee Benefits under Mexican FRS eliminate the recognition of additional labor liability resulting from the difference between actual benefits and net projected liabilities, establishes a maximum of five years to amortize the beginning balance of past labor costs of pension plans and severance indemnities and requires the recognition of actuarial gains or losses of severance indemnities on the income statement on the period when those are incurred. The application of Mexican FRS on employee benefits create a difference in the unamortized net transition obligation and amortization expense of pension plans and severance indemnities.

| |
3) | Deferred employee profit sharing: |
Under Mexican FRS, deferred employee profit sharing is calculated using the asset and liability method, which is the method used to compute deferred income taxes, as the basis of profit sharing calculation is taxable income. According to U.S. GAAP, deferred profit sharing recognition is not permitted.
| |
4) | Inflation effects of property, plant and equipment |
The statutory financial statements under Mexican FRS have recognized inflation effects for share capital and non-monetary items that were acquired or recognized in the financial statements before December 31 2007, as such items reflect the cumulative effects of inflation from their initial recognition date through December 31 2007; under US GAAP, inflation effects recognition are not permitted.
| |
5) | Revenue recognition and related costs |
Under Mexican FRS, revenue is recognize in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue once the following conditions have been met:
| |
• | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| |
• | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; |
| |
• | The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period may be measured reliably; and |
| |
• | The costs incurred or to be incurred. |
In conclusion, the Mexican financial statements recognize revenue when they are invoiced and authorized by the clients in amount for their payment as well as the commissions related to such income, which generally occurs after the service is provided or when the cost is incurred.
Under US GAAP, service contracts are accounted for in a manner consistent with that in which performance of the services occurs; possible revenue recognition methods include the proportional performance method, the straight-line method or recognition on completion of all related services.
Mexican FRS presentation requirements for deferred income taxes require their classification to be presented as non-current, while under U.S. GAAP require income taxes to be classified according to their estimated realization date as current or non-current, the effect on the statutory financial statements´ presentation is as follows:
|
| | |
| December 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 |
Deferred assets short term | Ps.5,558,019 | Ps.1,651,482 |

d) Enacted changes made to the Mexican Federal Labor Law that came into effect on December 1 2012 could have an effect on the Company’s financial position. The effects of these changes may vary from a disclosure in the financial statements to the recognition of an additional liability for employee profit sharing or other liabilities related to employee benefits. As at December 31 2016, the Company has evaluated the effects that the changes in the labor law may have on its financial information and has concluded that the changes have had no effect as at 31 December 2016. However, this situation may change in the future and so the Company will continue assessing the effects of the changes to the law in the years to come.
e) On September 19, 2013, the Company filed a motion for annulment in the Regional Court of the Caribbean of the Federal Court of Fiscal and Administrative Justice, against resolutions issued by the Local Tax Audit Manager of Cancun, through which a tax credit for alleged omissions in the whole of Income Tax, FBRT and VAT, updates, surcharges and fines, all corresponding to fiscal year 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at 30 September 2017 and 2016 and 31 December 2016
(Amounts in Mexican pesos, unless otherwise indicated)
1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
J&S Audiovisual Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (collectively “the Company”) was incorporated under the Mexican Legislation on 30 October 2000, primarily to provide rental of audio and video equipment, as well as the assembly and design of scenography of events and conventions, as well as the export of audiovisual services.
Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Compliance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”)
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS” or “Mexican FRS”).
b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical-cost basis, except for non-monetary items that were acquired or recognized in the financial statements before 31 December 2007; as such, items reflect the cumulative effects of inflation from their initial recognition date through 31 December 2007.
The amounts shown in the financial statements and these notes are in Mexican pesos (Ps.), except where otherwise indicated.
The annual rate of inflation in Mexico for September 2017 and 2016 and December 2016, was determined based on the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) published by the National Statistical and Geographical Information Agency (INEGI, by its acronym in Spanish), was 4.41% 1.47% and 3.36%, respectively. While the cumulative inflation rate for the three prior years was 10.21%, 7.86% and 9.87% respectively, under Mexican FRS, this cumulative inflation rate represents the necessary condition for considering Mexico as having a non-inflationary economic environment, which means that the financial statements should be prepared on a historical-cost basis.
c) Revenue recognition
Service revenue
The Company recognizes its revenue following the guidelines of International Accounting Standard 18 (IAS 18) Revenue issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which it has applied on a supplementary basis since its incorporation, because Mexican FRS do not specifically address revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the service at the end of the reporting period. Revenue from a given transaction may be measured reliably when all the following conditions have been met:
| |
(i) | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably |
| |
(ii) | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity |
| |
(iii) | The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period may be measured reliably, and |
| |
(iv) | The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably |
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Revenues for services of assembly and design of scenography are recognized at the time the service is rendered, according to the clauses established in the contracts.
The revenues from leasing audio and video equipment are recognized at the time the equipment rents are accrued according to the terms stipulated in the respective contracts.
d) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Mexican FRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions in certain areas. The Company based its estimates on the best available information at the time the financial statements were prepared. However, the existing circumstances and assumptions about future events may change due to changes in the market or circumstances that are beyond the Company’s control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions as they occur.
The key assumption used as at 30 September 2017 and 2016 and 31 December 2016 to calculate those estimates that may represent a significant risk of requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods is as follows:
Impairment in the value of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
e) Cash
Cash and cash equivalents principally consist of bank deposits. Cash is recognized at its initial value and subsequently at its fair value.
f) Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company’s policy is to provide for doubtful accounts on the balance of accounts receivable more than 90 days old, while also taking into consideration its past collection experience and accounts specifically identified as potentially uncollectible.
The Company evaluates annually the collectability of accounts due from related parties by examining their financial position and the market in which each of the related parties operates.
g) Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses are recognized as assets as of the date the payment is made, if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company. At the time the goods or services are received, prepaid
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
expenses are either capitalized or recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on whether there is certainty that the acquired goods or services will generate future economic benefits.
The Company periodically evaluates prepaid expenses to determine the probability that these assets will no longer generate future economic benefits and to assess their recoverability. Unrecoverable amounts are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as impairment losses.
h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recognized at cost. In the case of assets requiring a substantial period to get them ready for use, the Company capitalizes the borrowing cost incurred during the construction or installation phases of the assets.
The cost of acquiring property, plant and equipment includes the costs initially incurred to acquire or build the asset, plus costs subsequently incurred to replace the asset or enhance its service capability. For machinery and equipment made up of components with different estimated useful lives, the major individual components are depreciated over their individual useful lives. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on the assets’ carrying amounts on a straight-line basis (since management considers that this method best reflects the use of these assets) and over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see note 5).
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, when the asset is derecognized.
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed whenever there are indicators of impairment in the value of such assets. When the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset’s expected net selling price and its value in use (the present value of future cash flows) is less than its net carrying amount, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
For the period from 30 September 2017 and 2016 and 30 December 2016, there were no indicators of impairment.
i) Leases
Lease agreements are recognized as capital leases if the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee upon termination of the lease, the agreement includes an option to purchase the asset at a reduced price, the term of the lease is substantially the same as the remaining useful life of the leased asset, or the present value of minimum lease payments is substantially the same as the market value of the leased asset, net of any future benefit or scrap value.
When the risks and rewards inherent to the ownership of the leased good remain substantially with the lessor, they are classified as operating leases. Rent is recognized in the income statement as incurred.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
j) Accrued liabilities, provisions, contingent liabilities and commitments
Provisions are recognized when (i) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are recognized only when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. In addition, commitments are only recognized when they will generate a loss.
k) Net defined benefit liability
Seniority premiums are paid to workers as required by Mexican Labor Law. Additionally, under Mexican Labor Law, the Company is liable to make certain payments to workers who terminate employment or are dismissed in certain circumstances.
The Company annually recognizes the liability for seniority premiums and termination benefits for so-called “pre-existing obligations” is based on independent actuarial calculations applying the projected unit credit method, using financial assumptions net of inflation.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, are immediately recognized in the statement of financial position with the effect recognized in OCI, and they are recycled to profit or loss in a subsequent period based on the average remaining working lives of the employees expected to receive the benefits of the current plan.
Past service costs are recognized at the earlier of the following dates:
| |
• | When the plan amendment or curtailment occurs |
| |
• | When the Company recognizes related restructuring costs. |
l) Employee profit sharing (EPS)
Current and deferred employee profit sharing are presented as part of costs or expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred employee profit sharing is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred employee profit sharing is determined by applying the 10% rate to all temporary differences between the values of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred employee profit sharing assets and if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized.
As of 30 September 2016, the Company did not accrue the effects for deferred EPS.
m) Exchange differences
Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of the related transactions. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Exchange differences from the transaction date to the time foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are settled, as well as those arising from the translation of foreign currency denominated balances at the date of the statement of financial position, are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
n) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income represents the increase or decrease in earned capital from net income or loss for the year, components of other comprehensive income (OCI) and the Company’s share in the OCI of other entities. Other comprehensive income represents accrued income and expenses, which are pending completion.
During the periods ended 30 September 2017 and 2016 and for the year ended 31 December 2016, it basically consists of the application of D-3 and net income.
o) Income tax
Current income tax
Current income tax is recognized as a current liability, net of prepayments made during the year.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized on all temporary differences between financial reporting and tax values of assets and liabilities, applying the enacted income tax rate as of the date of the statement of financial position, or the enacted rate at the date of the statement of financial position that will be in effect when the temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company periodically evaluates the possibility of recovering deferred tax assets and if necessary, creates a valuation allowance for those assets that do not have a high probability of being realized.
As at 30 September 2016, the Company did not accrue the deferred income tax effects.
p) Statement of comprehensive income presentation
Costs and expenses shown in the Company’s statement of comprehensive income are presented based on their function, since such classification allows for an accurate evaluation of both gross profit and operating margins.
Although the presentation of operating income is not required, this caption is shown in the statement of comprehensive income, since it is an important indicator used for evaluating the Company’s operating results.
q) New accounting pronouncements
The following is a brief description about the most relevant aspects of new standards that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, with early adoption permitted:
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(i) Mexican FRS C-3 Accounts Receivable
The principal accounting changes contained in Mexican FRS C-3 are as follows:
a) This new accounting standard establishes that accounts receivable that arise as the result of a contract represent a financial instrument. Although certain accounts receivable arising as the result of a legal right or stemming from tax balances often have characteristics of a financial instrument, as generating interests, they are not actually financial instruments.
b) An entity’s assessment regarding the non-recoverability of trade accounts receivable should be recognized from the time the balance is due from the counterparty based on the expected credit loss. This amount should be recognized in an entity’s statement of income as part of an existing expense caption, or in a separate expense caption when the amount of the expected loss is material.
c) From initial recognition, the value of accounts receivable should be adjusted to reflect the time value of money. Whenever the time value of money is material on the basis of the term of the account receivable, the account receivable should be adjusted to present value. The effect of present value is considered material whenever the agreed upon term of full or partial payment of the account receivable is more than one year, since it is assumed that the account receivable represents a financing transaction.
d) Mexican FRS C-3 requires entities to present an analysis of the beginning balance and ending balance of their bad debt estimates in their financial statements.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016, provided that the new standard is adopted together with Mexican FRS C-20 Financial Assets.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Mexican FRS C-9 Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments
The new Mexican FRS C-9 Provisions, Contingencies and Commitments will supersede Mexican accounting Bulletin C-9 Accrued Liabilities, Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Commitments. The most important changes contained in the New Mexican FRS C-9 are as follows:
a) the accounting treatment for financial liabilities is no longer addressed in Mexican accounting Bulletin C-9, since this matter is now addressed in the new Mexican FRS C‑19 Financial Liabilities, and
b) The definition of liability has been modified to eliminate the “virtually certain” criteria and include the term probable “outflow of resources”.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016, if the new standard is adopted together with Mexican FRS C‑19 Financial Liabilities.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

(iii) Mexican FRS D-1 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
One of the overriding aims of the release of Mexican FRS D-1 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is to achieve more consistent revenue recognition practices by eliminating the supplementary application of International Accounting Standard 18 (IAS 18) Revenue and its interpretations, since this practice generally led to the application of a wide range of differing application criteria among entities in Mexico.
The critical aspects of the new revenue recognition model that will likely result in significant changes for entities are described below:
a) Under Mexican FRS D-1, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control, while IAS 18 requires revenue from sales of goods to be recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and revenue from services to be recognized when the service has been provided;
b) Mexican FRS D‑1 includes the concept of performance obligations, while IAS 18 includes few requirements of this kind for revenue recognition and only stipulates that revenue may be recognized for “separately identifiable components” of a single transaction, without providing any guidance regarding exactly what a “separately identifiable component” is;
c) Mexican FRS D-1 includes the concept of allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations based on stand-alone selling prices, in contrast to the previously applied accounting standard, which includes no general requirements regarding the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations;
d) Mexican FRS D-1 introduces the concept of a conditional account receivable, which is an account receivable that requires satisfaction of another obligation within the same contract;
e) Mexican FRS D-1 allows the recognition of a right to payment, which is an entity’s unconditional right to an amount of consideration without the need to first satisfy a performance obligation. Under the previously applied accounting standard, this right to payment is disclosed but not recognized. In these cases, the entity may only recognize the revenue after control of the promised good or service has been transferred to the customer; and
f) Mexican FRS D-1 addresses the identification of transaction price. Under the previously applied accounting standard, the amount of revenue arising from a transaction is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, but this standard provided no guidance regarding how to apply this fair value principle. Mexican FRS D-1 sets out the requirements and provides guidance for estimating variable considerations, and it addresses other aspects, like the existence of significant financing components, non-cash considerations and considerations payable to a customer (including customer credit).
Mexican FRS D-1 eliminates the supplementary application of IAS 18 Revenue and its interpretations.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(iv) Mexican FRS D-2 Costs of Contracts with Customers
Mexican FRS D-2 Costs of Contracts with Customers is the result of the separation of Mexican accounting Bulletin D-7 Construction Contracts and Contracts for the Manufacturing of Certain Capital Goods into two separate standards. In effect, while the New Mexican FRS D-1 addresses the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, Mexican FRS D-2 addresses the recognition of costs of contracts with customers.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In addition, Mexican FRS D-2 broadens the scope of Mexican accounting Bulletin D‑7, since the latter standard only addressed the costs of construction contracts and contracts involving the manufacturing of certain capital goods, while Mexican FRS D‑2 addresses costs of all types of contracts with customers.
Both Mexican FRS D-2 and Mexican FRS D-1 will supersede Mexican accounting Bulletin D-7 Construction Contracts and Contracts for the Manufacturing of Certain Capital Goods, and Interpretation to Mexican FRS 14 Real Estate Construction, Sales and Service Agreements, except for matters regarding the accounting treatment for assets and liabilities related to these types of contracts, since this matter is addressed under other FRS.
(v) Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 Recognition of Benefits Paid for Employee Separations
The aim of Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 Recognition of Benefits Paid for Employee Separations is to clarify the appropriate accounting treatment for these employee benefits, in accordance with the new Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2015.
Interpretation to Mexican FRS 21 specifies that entities must assess whether there are any so-called pre-existing obligations for payment of a benefit in order to determine if the benefit paid qualifies as a termination benefit or post-employment benefit, regardless of whether the separation of the employee was the result of voluntary or non-voluntary redundancy.
For purposes of the New Mexican FRS D-3, the practice of paying benefits for voluntary and involuntary redundancies, which creates a so-called pre-existing obligation for payment for the entity, qualifies as either a termination benefit or post-employment benefit and accordingly, the entity should record a provision based on the probability of payment of the benefit. In addition, provisions for termination benefits payable for reasons other than corporate restructurings that were previously recognized in accordance with the guidelines under the version of Mexican FRS D-3 that was effective until 31 December 2015 should be reclassified as part of post‑employment benefits.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
Improvements to Mexican FRS for 2017
The new financial reporting rules that will give rise to accounting changes related to valuation, disclosures and presentation in the financial statements are as follows:
(i) Mexican FRS B-13 Events after the Reporting Period
Mexican FRS B-13 had originally established that long-term liabilities that become due and payable as the result of an entity’s breach of a contractual condition at the reporting date were to be reclassified to current liabilities at the reporting date, even when after the reporting date, the creditor has agreed not to demand payment from the entity.
However, based on recommendations received by the CINIF, Mexican FRS B-13 was amended to establish that if during the subsequent events period (i.e., from the reporting date to the date when the financial statements are authorized for issue) a debtor reaches an agreement with a creditor allowing the debtor to continue to make long-term payments against a liability contracted with long-term payment conditions, the entity may continue to recognize the debt as a long-term liability at the reporting date.
The CINIF, based on the economic substance postulate, indicated that in the case of bad debt arising after the reporting date, it is appropriate to maintain the long-term classification of the related financial assets or liabilities when a) the debt was originally contracted under long-term collection or payment conditions, and b) during the subsequent events period the debtor and creditor have reached an agreement for payment of the debt on a long-term basis. Mexican FRS
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
B-13 was amended based on this conclusion, and changes were also made to the other standards that address this matter, which include Mexican FRS B-6 Statement of Financial Position, Mexican FRS C-19 Financial Liabilities, and Mexican C-20 Financial Assets.
This new accounting rule established in Mexican FRS B-13 is considered a more appropriate accounting treatment for this type of subsequent event and it is consistent with US GAAP. This accounting change represents a new difference between Mexican FRS and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that the CINIF has classified as a Type B difference, which means that the CINIF believes that the guidance provided in Mexican FRS is more appropriate and the difference will only be eliminated if the respective accounting rule in IFRS is amended to converge with Mexican FRS.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
(ii) Mexican FRS D-3 Employee Benefits
a)Discount rate for employee benefit liability valuation
Paragraph 45.5.9 of Mexican FRS D-3 previously established that the interest rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations (funded or unfunded) was to be determined by reference to market yields on high-quality corporate bonds or when no such information was available, by reference to market yields on government bonds.
However, based on recommendations received by the CINIF, Mexican FRS D-3 was amended to allow entities to elect to use either the government bond rate or the corporate bond rate to determine the discount rate.
In its analysis regarding this topic, the CINIF clarified that paragraph 45.5.9 of Mexican FRS D-3 requires the use of corporate bond rates or government bond rates to determine the present value of these long-term employee benefit obligations because the credit risk associated with these instruments is nil or extremely low and consequently, both rates represent the time value of money, and that for this reason the CINIF concluded that either of the two rates should be reliable and appropriate for determining the discount rate.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017, with early adoption permitted.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
| |
b) | Treatment of remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability |
Paragraph 45.4.4 c) of Mexican FRS D-3 previously established that the difference between the final net defined benefit liability determined based on paragraph b) and the expected net defined benefit liability determined based on paragraph a) should be recognized as a remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability in other comprehensive income (OCI), as set forth in section 45.7 of the accounting standard.
The CINIF amended Mexican FRS D-3 to allow entities to elect to recognize the remeasurements referred to in paragraph 45.4.4 in either OCI, as previously required by the accounting standard, or in profit or loss at the time the remeasurements are determined.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The CINIF believes that to option to recognize remeasurements in either OCI or profit or loss is a more practical accounting treatment for this item.
These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017, with early adoption permitted.
Company management is analyzing what effects the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

1) Property, plant and equipment
For Mexican FRS purposes, initial recognition of plant, property and equipment include the costs initially incurred to acquire or build the asset, plus costs subsequently incurred to replace the asset or enhance its service capability. For machinery and equipment, components with different estimated useful lives are depreciated over their individual useful lives.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Under US GAAP, depreciation of Property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives, even when the application of different depreciation rates and useful lives to components of machinery and equipment is permitted, it is not a common practice under this accounting framework.
As a result of the difference mentioned above, the balance of plant, property and equipment decreased by Ps. 588,452 as of September 30, 2017, Ps. 408,892 as of September 30, 2016 and Ps. 413,970 as of December 31, 2016 respectively, having an effect on the deferred income tax determination.
Depreciation expense decreased by Ps.169,117, and Ps. 25,704 for the period interim financial statements starting on January 1st to September 30th, 2017, 2016 and increased Ps. 31,065 for the period starting on January 1st to December 31th, 2016, respectively.
2) Employee benefits:
Employee Benefits under Mexican FRS eliminate the recognition of additional labor liability resulting from the difference between actual benefits and net projected liabilities, establishes a maximum of five years to amortize the beginning balance of past labor costs of pension plans and severance indemnities and requires the recognition of actuarial gains or losses of severance indemnities on the income statement on the period when those are incurred. The application of Mexican FRS on employee benefits create a difference in the unamortized net transition obligation and amortization expense of pension plans and severance indemnities.
3) Deferred employee profit sharing:
Under Mexican FRS, deferred employee profit sharing is calculated using the asset and liability method, which is the method used to compute deferred income taxes, as the basis of profit sharing calculation is taxable income. According to U.S. GAAP, deferred profit sharing recognition is not permitted.
4) Inflation effects of property, plant and equipment
The statutory financial statements under Mexican FRS have recognized inflation effects for share capital and non-monetary items that were acquired or recognized in the financial statements before December 31 2007, as such items reflect the cumulative effects of inflation from their initial recognition date through December 31 2007; under US GAAP, inflation effects recognition are not permitted.
| |
5) | Revenue recognition and related costs |
Under Mexican FRS, revenue is recognize in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue once the following conditions have been met:
| |
• | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| |
• | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; |
| |
• | The stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period may be measured reliably; and |
| |
• | The costs incurred or to be incurred. |
In conclusion, the Mexican financial statements recognize revenue when they are invoiced and authorized by the clients in amount for their payment as well as the commissions related to such income, which generally occurs after the service is provided or when the cost is incurred.
J & S AUDIOVISUAL MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Under US GAAP, service contracts are accounted for in a manner consistent with that in which performance of the services occurs; possible revenue recognition methods include the proportional performance method, the straight-line method or recognition on completion of all related services.
c) Deferred Taxes
