Raízen Energia
For comparison purposes, the following information consider 100% of Raízen Energia operations, even though Cosan S/A holds 50% share in the segment. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the analysis of Raizen Energia information should consider the crop year that began in April 2014 and will end in March 2015.

Raizen Energia ended the harvest season 2014/15 with a crushing volume of 57.1 million tons, 7.1% reduction versus harvest season 2013/14. The main factor for the reduction of the volume crushed was the dry climate throughout the year, which hampered the process of planting and growth of sugarcane, reducing agricultural productivity

The volume of sugar in the harvest season 2014/15 was down 1.1% while the ethanol volume grew 4.3%. The volume of energy sold was 1.0% higher reaching 2,202,000 MWh. Raízen Energia’s total net revenue in harvest season 2014/15 was R$9.7 billion, 18.2% higher compared to the same period last year. EBITDA was R$2.5 billion, up 4.0%, with an EBITDA margin of 26.0%. EBITDA adjusted by the effects of biological assets was R$2.6 million.

Comgás

Comgás’ volume sold was down 0.8% compared to 1Q14, with 1.3 million m³ sold in 1Q15. This reduction is due to the lower industrial activity which limited the volume expansion in the period. Comgás’ net revenue was R$1.5 billion in 1Q15, 1.1% higher than 1Q14. EBITDA normalized by the regulatory current account was R$299 million, 5.8% higher compared to the 1Q14, with an EBITDA margin of 19.5%.

Lubrificantes
Net revenue from the sale of lubricants, base oil resale and other goods and services increased 3.1% in 1Q15, reaching R$379.8 million. This result is due to higher average unit price of 5.7%. EBITDA was R$23.4 million in the quarter, with a margin of 6.2%.

Radar

Radar ended 1Q15 with 263,300 hectares of land under its management, with a market value of R$5.0 billion. Net income in the quarter was R$21.6 million, increased by the leasing of properties during 1Q15. In 1Q15, EBITDA was R$27.2 million, lower compared to 1Q14 due to the lower sale of properties in the quarter.

Independent Auditor Report on review of Consolidated Interim Financial Statements


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cosan Limited

 
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim financial information of Cosan Limited (“The Company”), comprised in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, comprising the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2015 and the respective statements of profit and loss and comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months period then ended, including the footnotes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission – CVM, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Review scope
We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on reviews of interim information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the audit standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the consolidated interim financial information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information - ITR referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission – CVM.

Operations

Cosan Limited (“Cosan”) was incorporated in Bermuda on April 30, 2007. Cosan’s class A common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (ticker - CZZ). The BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) representing Cosan’s class A common shares are listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa) (ticker - CZLT33). Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello is the ultimate controlling shareholder of Cosan. Cosan controls its subsidiaries Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Cosan S.A.”), Cosan Logística S.A. (“Cosan Log”) through a 62.51 % interest. Cosan, Cosan S.A., Cosan Log and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

The Company’s primary activities are in the following business segments: (i) Piped natural gas distribution to part of the State of São Paulo through its subsidiary Companhia de Gás de São Paulo – COMGÁS (“COMGÁS”), which has been consolidated since November 2012; (ii) Logistics services including transportation, port loading and storage of sugar, through its indirect subsidiary Rumo Logística Operadora Multimodal S.A. (“Rumo”); (iii) Purchase, sale and leasing of agricultural land through its subsidiary, Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. ("Radar"); (iv) Production and distribution of lubricants under the Mobil licensed trademark in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay, in addition to the European and Asian market using the Comma brand and corporate activities; and (v) other investments, in addition to the corporate structures of the Company (“Cosan’s other business”).

The Company also holds interests in two joint ventures ("JVs"): (i) Raízen Combustíveis S.A. (“Raízen Combustíveis”), a fuel distribution business, and (ii) Raízen Energia S.A. (“Raízen Energia”), which operates in the production and marketing of sugar, ethanol and energy cogeneration, produced from sugar cane bagasse.

On October 1, 2014 at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), the Cosan S.A. shareholders’ approved the partial spin-off (the “Partial Spin-off”) of Cosan S.A. and merger of the spun-off portion into Cosan Log, composed of Cosan’s logistics operations. The Partial Spin-off seeks to segregate the Company’s activities in order to allow each business segment to focus on its sector, establishing suitable capital structures for each company. It also seeks to provide the market with greater transparency on each company’s performance, which will allow a better evaluation from shareholders and investors of the individual businesses permitting that resources be allocated in accordance with the shareholder’s interests and investment strategy. This partial spin-off that didn’t carry changes to the consolidated financial statements of Cosan Limited.

2.3 
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, except the following:

 
·
IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company will also consider the impact of the remaining phases of IFRS 9 when completed by the Board;

 
·
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adopting IFRS 15.

There are no other Standards or Interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.

 
2.4 
Correction of an error

During 2014, the Company identified an immaterial mathematical error in the calculation of diluted earnings per share impacting the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The error consisted of a mathematical inaccurate calculation on the monetary effect of dilution on the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent.

The diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was originally presented, in error, as R$ 0.41. The amount has being revised on the face of statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive and in the Note 20 as R$0.47.

Operating segments

Segment information

The following segment information is used by Cosan's senior management (the “Chief Operating Decision Maker”) to assess the performance of the operating segments and to make decisions with regards to the allocation of resources. This information is prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Cosan evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on the measure of Earnings Before Interest Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”). A reconciliation of EBITDA to profit (loss) is presented below.

Operating segments

 
I.
Raízen Energia: production and marketing of a variety of products derived from sugar cane, including raw sugar (VHP), anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and activities related to energy cogeneration from sugarcane bagasse. In addition, this segment holds interests in companies engaged in research and development on new technology;

 
II.
Raízen Combustíveis: distribution and marketing of fuels, mainly through a franchised network of service stations under the brand Shell and Esso throughout Brazil;

 
III.
COMGÁS: distribution of piped natural gas to part of the State of São Paulo (approximately 180 municipalities, including the region called Greater São Paulo) to customers in the industrial, residential, commercial, automotive, thermo generation and cogeneration sectors;

 
IV.
Cosan Log: logistics services for transport, storage and port loading of commodities, mainly for sugar products;

 
V.
Radar: management, buying, selling and leasing of agricultural;

 
VI.
Lubricants: production and distribution of lubricants under the Mobil brand in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay, as well as European and Asian market with a Comma trademark; Upon adoption of IFRS 11, whereby the Company no longer proportionally consolidates the results of Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis, the Lubricants segment met the quantitative thresholds to be separately reportable, and the comparative segment information has been adjusted retroactively; and
 
 
VII.
Other business: other investments, in addition to the corporate activities of the Company.

Although Raízen Energia and Raízen Combustíveis are equity accounted joint-ventures and are no longer proportionally consolidated since adoption of IFRS 11, senior management continues to review segment information.  A reconciliation of these segments is presented in the column “Deconsolidation IFRS 11”.

The following statement of financial position and profit or loss selected information by segment was prepared on the same basis as the accounting practices used in the preparation of consolidated information:

Preferred shareholders payable in subsidiaries

On June 27, 2014, Cosan S.A. transferred to a newly-incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary, Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A., its shares in Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. in addition to a debenture Cosan S.A. had issued and placed with Banco Bradesco S.A.. The net assets transferred at that date totaled R$ 1,979,519.

Concurrently, also on June 27, 2014, Cosan S.A. executed an Investment Agreement with Fundo de Investimentos em Participações Multisetorial Plus II (“FIP Multisetorial”) and with Razac Fundo de Investimentos em Participações (“FIP Razac”). FIP Multisetorial and FIP Razac are funds owned by Banco Bradesco BBI S.A and Citibank Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A., respectively.  Pursuant to this agreement, FIP Multisetorial and FIP Razac subscribed and paid-in R$ 2,000,000 of non-voting preferred shares issued by Cosan Investimentos e Participações S.A.. These preferred shares will be remunerated based on a formula designed to provide a return over 15 years equivalent to the CDI rate. In the event the accumulated remuneration falls short of the minimum amount prescribed in the formula, as at April 30, 2021, the preferred shareholders will have a put against Cosan S.A. for an amount equivalent to the value of the initial investment plus interest based on the CDI less any CDI-indexed dividends paid.

The investment in the net assets of the joint ventures, Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A., continue to be accounted for on the equity method without affecting the Company’s 50% interest in the results of each venture. The transaction underlying the Investment Agreement has been classified as a noncurrent financial liability in Cosan´s and Cosan S.A.´s balance sheet and the statement of profit or loss reflects the CDI equivalent dividends classified as financial expenses.

Pension plans

Defined benefit

Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A. has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (Futura, formerly Previd Exxon) for certain employees upon retirement. This plan was amended to close it to new entrants and approved by the relevant authorities on May 5, 2011. No new employees are eligible to participate on the plan, contributions ceased, and participants are guaranteed a benefit proportionate to their accumulated entitlement as at March 31, 2011. During the period ended March 31, 2015, the amount of contributions totaled R$ 1,036 (R$ 8,757 in December 2014).

Defined contribution

Since June 1, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries have sponsored a defined contribution plan for all employees (Futura II). The Company does not have a legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all of the benefits owed. During the period ended March 31, 2015 the amount of contributions totaled R$ 431 (R$ 467 on December 31, 2014).

COMGÁS offers a supplementary retirement plan, through a defined contribution Free Benefit Generating Plan (“PGBL”). During the year ended March 31, 2015, employers’ contributions to the plan totaled R$ 3,525 (R$ 14,672 for December 31, 2014).

Share-based payment

At the annual and extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on July 29, 2011, the guidelines for the outlining and structuring of the stock option compensation plan for Cosan S.A.’s executives and employees were approved, authorizing the issue of up to 5% of shares of Cosan S.A.’s total capital. This stock option plan was created to attract and retain executives and key employees, offering them the opportunity to become Cosan S.A.’s shareholders.
