1Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
A PROUD HISTORY The roots of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. lie in the Dutch province of Zeeland where the brothers Piet and Arthur Dumoleyn decided around 1950 to expand their brewery business in Suriname. Suriname, at that time a part of the Netherlands, did not have its own brewery.
In October 1955, the brewery was officially opened by his Majesty Prince Bernhard, Prins der Nederlanden. At the end of December 1955, we produced the first PARBO BIER. Amstel Brouwerij N.V., which was taken over in 1968 by HEINEKEN N.V., was a shareholder right from the start.
The Surinamese beer was of excellent quality from the start, as witnessed by it being awarded the Prix d‘Excellence in 1958 during the world beer convention in Gent in Belgium. Quality has always played an important role in our business policy. In this way, we were among the first breweries in North and South America to achieve both ISO and HACCP certificates.
Nowadays, our aim is to produce and sell beer which meets all the international standards. This policy is focused on realising profitable and sustainable growth with the aim of strengthening the position of the business. In doing so, we seek to achieve an optimum return for shareholders, continued satisfaction amongst customers and consumers, optimum welfare of our employees, and socially responsible business practices and involvement.
We brew, produce, sell, and distribute PARBO Beer and PARBO Chiller for the Surinamese market. Besides this, we export PARBO Beer to a number of selected countries. We also import and distribute Heineken®, Heineken® Premium Light and Vitamalt in Suriname.

Since 1955 Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. has been a corporate social responsible company and with our PARBO beer brand we take a central place in Suriname society.

PRE-ADVIESIn accordance with the provisions of article 17, clause 3 of the Statutes, we present for confirmation the annual accounts drawn up by the management team, to the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders. The annual accounts have been audited by BDO Assurance N.V. and we recommend these annual accounts that were drawn up by the management team, together with the auditor’s report by BDO Assurance N.V., for confirmation.
The consolidated net profit during the financial year 2014 was SRD 42,538,239. In accordance with article 18 clause 2 of the Statutes, an amount of SRD 3.00 per preference share of SRD 50 nominal value is payable from this to the preferred shareholders and an amount of SRD 0.25 per ordinary share of SRD 5 nominal value is awarded to the ordinary shareholders. These amounts are 6% and 5%, respectively, of the issued and fully paid up capital per share. This represents a statutory call for the payment to the preferred and ordinary shareholders of SRD 132 and SRD 23,715, respectively, after which an amount of SRD 42,514,392 is at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
The proposal of the management team is to make a payment in cash of a dividend of SRD 445.75 per ordinary share of SRD 5 and SRD 4,457 per preference share of SRD 50. This brings the total dividend, including the statutory element, per ordinary share of SRD 5 to SRD 446 and per preferred share of SRD 50 to SRD 4,460.
With our approval the interim dividend of SRD 166 per share of SRD 5 and SRD 1,660 per preferred share of SRD 50 was announced in December 2014. Taking this into account, approval of our proposal would fix the final dividend at SRD 280 per ordinary share of SRD 5 and SRD 2,800 per preference share of SRD 50. These amounts include the previously stated statutory dividend and will be paid subject to withholding of the dividend tax payable.The confirmation of the annual accounts serves to discharge the management team for their direction and management, and the Board for its supervision maintained.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD
7Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
SUSTAINABILITYThe Supervisory Board is particularly satisfied with the sustainability policy that is being pursued. Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. has been active for 59 years in the Surinamese market, as a socially responsible business. The report on sustainability clearly shows how Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. focuses its sustainability activities on the Environment, Employees, and Society, and in this way plays a leading role in entering into a dialogue with relevant stakeholders in order to work together for a better future for Suriname.
A WORD OF THANKSWe would like to express our gratitude for the way in which the management team and personnel have actively responded to the changing market circumstances and have yet again worked hard to achieve a good result together.
Members Mr L. Naarden (President) Mr M. Loor (Vice President) Mr H. M. Parson Mr J. van Mameren

Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. has been a socially responsible business since 1955 and with its PARBO beer brand it is at the heart of the community. In 2014, we worked hard with the management team and all the personnel to achieve sustainable growth by actively responding to the changing market circumstances.
During the year, we were busy every day, considering how we can convert the challenges with which we are confronted, such as the changed economic situation and the changing market, into opportunities; opportunities that we can exploit in order to contribute to sustainable growth in business and a sustainable community. This is what Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. has always stood for, for 59 years; Working for Sustainable Growth and Brewing for a Sustainable future in Suriname. We focus our sustainability activities on the environment in Suriname, our employees, and Suriname society.
In October, we were proud to present our first sustainability report - also the first such report in Suriname. This report clearly shows that working for a sustainable society is very important to us, and that we wish to work together with the stakeholders in achieving our aims, and a sustainable future for Suriname. This joint effort found expression in the co-operative venture which was launched in November with the Suriname Taxi Centrale, with which we stimulate consumers to avoid joining in the traffic after consuming alcohol during an evening out. We also cooperate with Conservation International, whereby as a Friend of Green Suriname we contribute to maintaining Suriname as the greenest country in the world. All of these community activities have afforded us a lot of media attention and brought us into closer contact with important stakeholders.
The management team and the entire personnel have successfully anticipated the changing market circumstances. Many initiatives have been developed in order to present our strong brands to the consumer and
to support our partners in the trade in selling our brands. By purchasing at keener prices, constantly controlling and optimising our processes carefully, we have been able to achieve further efficiency improvements, enabling us to keep our prices unchanged. The volume and turnover growth realised are a sign that the Surinamese consumers continue to regard our PARBO brands and Heineken® as their favourites.
LOOKING TO THE FUTUREThe economic situation will not significantly improve in 2015. Oil and gold prices will remain under pressure and currency instability may cause disquiet on the market. These factors are beyond our influence. We can anticipate these by continuing to invest and innovate. Innovation has been at the heart of the business since 1955 and this is how we continue to stimulate and surprise consumers. In 2015, the year in which we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the existence of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V., we will live up to that passion. Continued investment forms the basis of our sustainable growth. A significant investment budget is yet again planned for 2015 in order to contribute to that growth, but also in order to achieve another step forward in efficiency. I have full confidence that, with the passion and the effort of the entire team, we will make 2015 a successful year.

WORKING FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
9Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
In our brewing process we use malting barley. This is a barley that is grown specifically for the brewing of beer.
Malting barley contains a lot of starch and low protein. In a malt house the barley malt is converted into malt, in order to make it
suitable for the brewing process.

11Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
“2014 was a major challenge for the Supply Chain. The large differences in monthly sales, the number of improvement projects, and the annual volume peak in the month of December have caused the whole Supply Chain to show maximum flexibility in order to be able to supply the products on time to our customers. This was not without incident, but we can look back with some pride and satisfaction and the insights we have gained will enable us to take a further step in optimising our Supply Chain.” Dennis van den Berg, Brewery Manager
PRIORITIESThe priority areas of the Supply Chain are quality, productivity, management of costs, and sustainability. By paying attention to the personal development of our employees, and by continuous improvement via our Total Productive Management Programme we fulfil our priorities.
SAFETYNot only within the Supply Chain but within the whole organization safety has the highest priority. Our aim is for all our employees and contractors to go home in good health after a day working at the brewery. For this reason, it was very disappointing when after a period of 664 accident free days this year two accidents had to be reported. Safety is a priority that therefore has our permanent and constant attention, it should never be taken for granted.
QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITYKnowing that our customers expect our products to always be of the highest quality, we regard it as a challenge to brew and to package every day with the same level of passion. This year, strides have been made once more in the area of the quality of our products and processes.
It is a recurring challenge for the Supply Chain to keep on top of all the increases in cost, such as personnel and raw materials, by continuously producing more efficiently. For this reason, it is good to see that the positive trend in productivity has continued again this year. This is a great result and enables us to keep costs under control .
DEVELOPMENT OF PEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONIt is essential for our employees to continue to develop and to provide insight into possible improvements, and into the initiatives which are necessary in order to achieve good results each year.
By means of a variety of courses, such as First Line Management for leaders, Defensive Driving and Forklift for drivers, and also the Change Management Programme for the Supply Chain management team, much attention has been paid to individual development and the total organization.
WASTEWATER TREATMENTIn addition to the operational projects, this year has also been the year of building and starting up our wastewater Treatment Plant. The project experienced some delay due to organizational and technical challenges, but in the end the installation started running in December. The project will be finalised in the first quarter of 2015.

13Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
“Although 2014 can be characterised for Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. as a year in which we were confronted with challenges, brought about by internal and external circumstances, we managed to turn these challenges into opportunities. The way in which employees have applied themselves, the flexibility and 100% involvement shown, have meant that the company’s profits have grown substantially. I am very proud of this result.” Zohrina Ramdjan-Habieb, Finance Manager
FINANCE DEPARTMENTThis year, we have continued the Business Partnering Programme for the financial department in accordance with the HEINEKEN model. This involves supporting the various divisions by putting together the financial arguments in support of decision-making centrally. A new aspect in 2014 is the addition of the position of a “Process & Control Improvement Officer” with the aim of improving the organization of our processes in order to minimise the likelihood of error.
In 2013, we started carrying out purchasing centrally, as part of which we have tied in our purchasers to specific divisional budgets. This year, we have placed the emphasis on procurement procedures. This has enabled us to purchase more effectively and efficiently, which has led to savings of SRD 316,800.
SUPPLIER CODEWhen purchasing goods for brewing, packaging and selling our beer we request suppliers to sign our ‘supplier code’. Under this, they undertake, amongst other things, to operate with integrity, to respect human rights and to offer their personnel a safe working environment. In the field of environmental conservation, we ask our suppliers
to be aware of the influence that their business activities have on the environment, and to reduce this influence as much as possible. This year, the purchasing department has paid a lot of attention to the supplier code programme, with the result that 100% of our current suppliers have signed the code.
FINANCIAL RESULTSOur company’s profits have grown 12.6% to SRD 66.7 million. This growth was principally driven by the 7.7% increase in net turnover, which resulted from 4.6% volume growth and an increase in value per hectolitre of 2.9%. This increase in value was partly the result of sales prices introduced in the second half of 2013, and a changed mix of our product portfolio in 2014. Our variable costs grew by 6.5%, mainly driven by our import portfolio, a change in mix (more disposable packaging in comparison with returnable packaging) and a reduction in storage and demurrage costs.
The 3.9% increase in fixed operating costs was mostly the result of increased write-offs, resulting from our investment programme amounting to SRD 18.1 million, maintenance costs, and other operating costs. The net financing costs reduced by 89%, mainly due to the 11% reduction in the euro exchange rate during the year.
As a result, the net profit rose by 17.1% to SRD 42.5 million.

“The sales organization demonstrated its drive and value to Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. more than ever in 2014. From the first month, it was apparent that 2014 would be a difficult year, with a highly unpredictable nature. External factors such as declining economic growth, dependence on gold prices, and the arrival of new competition, have challenged our performance and the achievement of our targets.” Fayzal Abdoelrazak, Sales Manager
SUCCESSFUL YEARThe sales team underwent a number of changes this year. Under the leadership of a new sales manager a great deal of attention was paid to the personal development of the sales team. Various training sessions were given in order to improve the team’s sales quality and command of English. The sales team completed these training sessions with good results. Incentives have also been adapted, which has contributed to the good results which were finally achieved. Together with other divisions we were able to finish this difficult year successfully, thanks to sales in the fourth quarter.
MERCHANDISINGThe focus of the sales team was on supporting our customers in their sales of our brands. This requires optimal product presentation. In order to provide optimum support to the sales team, colleagues from management worked with them in March, on a merchandising campaign in the market. A large number of supermarkets where supplied with special displays and the shelves where arranged attractively.
TEK A MONI“Your empty Djogo is worth money”; so sounded the campaign with which the consumer was stimulated to return empty Djogo bottles. The campaign involved extensive television and radio advertising and was carried out in cooperation with 20 customers spread throughout the country who were prepared to co-operate with us as a collection point. We can look back at a more than successful campaign, in which the consumer also contributed to our policy of sustainable business.
EXPORTExport of our PARBO Beer brand is currently taking place to Guyana, French Guyana, the Netherlands and Aruba. The export to both Guyana and French Guyana has grown strongly this year. For exporting to the Netherlands, we have switched to HEINEKEN Wholesale as a distributor. This wholesale has 13 regional branches, spread throughout the Netherlands. The change has generated growth, but still not the growth that was expected. In total, export has grown profitably, at a rate of 42% in comparison with 2013. The fact that our export activities have not gone unnoticed is evident from the export prize “Most Improved Export 2014”, which we were awarded in December by the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacture.
RESULTSIn spite of the changed external factors we managed to finish this year with a good performance. The sales results show a 4.0% volume growth for the PARBO brand and 6.5% for Heineken®.

“2014 was a challenging year for our brands, in particular due to the adverse economic climate, but also due to the arrival of the local competitor. It is even more important to get consumers and customers to choose our portfolio again and again. Looking back we are able to say that with growth in both the PARBO and the Heineken® brands we have been more than successful.” Rutger van der Stegen, Marketing Manager
PARBO BIRI DAT N’A BIRIBeing and remaining the national beer was the most important task this year. We have supported this by means of various campaigns, which have contributed bit by bit to the claim “PARBO BIRI, dat n’a BIRI”. With consumers rating the brand at 9.1 out of 10 and 4.0% growth in volume, we have succeeded.
This year events and sponsorship again played an important role in our marketing mix. Supporting national events, such as the Avond Vierdaagse and Pagara Prisiri, but also further extending our own PARBO Beer Nights, have been a central focus this year. The successful PARBO Beer festival in Atjoni on Marrons Day is a prime example of this. Another important cornerstone was the football World Cup; we supported this at our sales outlets with a national promotion. Besides this, we created the PARBO World Cup house, where we broadcasted every match, supported with an array of entertainment. With a total of approximately 20,000 visitors, it was a great success and it is clear that for the Surinamese, the football World Cup and PARBO are inextricably bound to each other.
With spontaneous awareness of 95%, PARBO remains the brand that the Surinamese think of when someone asks for a beer.
HEINEKEN®
Continuing to attract the target group and demonstrating the added value of the brand was the core task for 2014. With 6.5% volume growth and an increase of 8.5 in brand rating we are able to claim success. The first big campaign of the year was the “Odyssey”, which is a talent hunt aimed at further strengthening Heineken® as the premium beer in Suriname. The second campaign was the local support of the UEFA Champions League football sponsorship. The grand finale here was the UEFA Champions League final party, where 2,000 Surinamese came together to watch the final match.
At the end of December, we launched Heineken® Light with an exclusive event followed by advertising on billboards, on 100 taxi roof lights, and support on Facebook. With this new product we were able to attract a new target group with Heineken® and to strengthen the innovative character of the brand.
RESPONSIBLE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONThis year, we have applied ourselves to stimulating and further extending responsible alcohol consumption. For Heineken® we did this by the “Dance more, drink slow” campaign and for PARBO by means of the joint operation with Suriname Taxi Centrale (STC). By fitting all 125 rear bumpers with the message “If you’ve had a beer, let someone drive for you” we stimulate consumers to take a taxi after consuming alcohol during an evening out, and not to combine alcohol with driving. The first STC taxi with the message was unveiled by Minister Belfort of Justice and Police. With the cooperation we encourage consumers to not combine alcohol and traffic, and to take a taxi after consumption of alcohol during a night out.

“2014 has brought many changes with it for the Human Resources Department. We have focused on safety, gender diversity, and stimulating the development of opportunities for career development. Besides this, we have invested in the knowledge and skills of employees by training them in these. The maintenance and improvement of health and driving down absenteeism have been extremely important.” Thersa Wijdenbosch, Human Resources Manager
OUR EMPLOYEESEmployees are the key to success. We strive to create a healthy and safe working environment for our employees. Besides this, we expect our employees to act responsibly and to respect our core values. As at December 31, 2014, the number of Fte‘s reached a total of 156. We look back on a number of successful recruitment drives for crucial positions. We have signed a new collective employment agreement which includes many improvements, including a 5% salary increase.
HEALTHThe focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle was also brought to people’s attention this year with two Wellness projects. During a successful sports day, a pedometer programme was introduced with the aim of raising awareness of sufficient movement. Various groups have kept each other motivated during the year to keep moving as much as possible together. By recording the total number of steps, it was possible to reward a winning team at the end of the year. Another significant project was the healthy food in our staff canteen, with which we stimulate employees to eat healthily. Our canteen personnel were given advice by a dietician and healthy food is partially subsidised by the brewery.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENTWe train and steer our employees to ensure that they continue to control their work better and carry it out safely. This leads to the employees performing their work more efficiently and with more enjoyment. Many of our training programmes are set up in such a way that the teaching of skills is combined with adding to knowledge. In total, our employees have spent an average of 36.5 hours on training this year.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME A few years ago, we started a scholarship programme. Over the years, we have awarded a number of scholarships, and the first two students have completed their studies. One of these students has received an offer of a year’s contract and is currently working within the Supply Chain division. This year, there are 5 scholarships ongoing, both nationally and internationally.
BUSINESS CLIMATE RESEARCHIn October 2014, we have once more carried out a business climate study in order to measure the involvement and satisfaction of our employees. By asking how employees rated our company, what works well and where they would like to see improvement, we can continue to optimise the situation. The results will be known in 2015 and based on the information received we will put together action plans to increase involvement and satisfaction where necessary.

1st SUSTAINABILITY REPORTHANDED OVER TO MICHAL MISKIN,
We became a founding partner from the Friends of Green Suriname platform in October. FGS is an initiative from NGO Conservation International
Water reduction is enormously important. We are trying to reduce the amount of water used in our process by working more e�ciently every year. Currently we are using 5.1 hl water per hl beer

WE ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS THROUGH LOGOS ON OUR PACKAGING MATERIALS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
TO DRINK IN MODERATION. WE INTRODUCED WATER BREAKS AND FREE WATER DURING OUR OWN EVENTS THIS YEAR.
21Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
“For 59 years we have been thinking every day about how we can turn the challenges that confront us each day into opportunities for leaving a more sustainable society behind us for future generations. 2014 was a year in which a lot was undertaken and communicated in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility. Based on our own policy with ambitions and targets, we have put ourselves on the map and have set an example for many other manufacturing companies in Suriname.” Flip van Woerkom, Corporate Relations and Sustainable Development Officer
STRATEGY AND TARGETSSustainability is one of the six strategic priorities of HEINEKEN. In order to give form to this throughout the world, there exists the Brewing a Better World Programme. This programme is focused on sustainable procurement, responsible alcohol consumption, the reduction of water usage and reduction of CO2 emissions. Each one of the four focus points referred to is also of great importance to our company. As an organization, we have translated this locally into a sustainability strategy which focuses on the environment in Suriname, our own workforce, and Suriname society. We have expressed our ambitions for each of our focus points, and linked them to concrete targets.
RESULTsIn comparison with 2013, we have achieved a reduction in energy use and CO2 use per litre of beer in the brewery, thanks to bringing a new boiler into use.
Water usage has unfortunately increased in comparison with 2013. This is largely a result of technical problems in the packaging division which eventually led to adaptation of the pasteuriser. This project cost a great deal of effort
but is expected to yield benefits in 2015. We have invested approximately SRD 270,000 in community projects in Suriname. Part of this went to Kinderhuis Saron, where the Management Team has carried out community work. We have also donated an amount of SRD 25,000 to SuAid. An amount that was spent in previous years on gifts for associates.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTOn 30 October 2014, we were the first company in Suriname to publish a sustainability report. This sustainability report was delivered to Mr Michael Miskin, Minister of Employment, Technological Development and Environment. In the report, we publicly state on our sustainability activities, strategy, ambitions and targets. Transparency towards our stakeholders is extremely important and, therefore, we will now issue a sustainability report each year.
STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUESocially responsible business is not just something we stand for, but something that we need our stakeholders for. For this reason, we entered into a dialogue with them this year on the basis of our sustainability report in order to achieve our objectives. We hope to be able to inspire our stakeholders even more in the future, and to learn from them. Ultimately this means working together on a sustainable future for Suriname.

Our beer obtains its flavour by adding of hops to it. The quality of our hop influences the taste and aroma of the
beer considerably, and thus our PARBO BEER contains a long and delicious aftertaste.

Summary of significant accounting policiesGeneralThe financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost prices and are stated in Surinamese dollars, which is the company‘s functional currency.
Estimates, judgements and assumptionsThese financial statements are prepared based on management making certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of as sets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estima tes in the financial statements are, amongst others, related to the economic useful lives and residual values of the intangible and tangible fixed assets and provisions for post-retirement medical benefits as well as provisions for obsolete inventories and doubtful debtors. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience, actuarial calculations and on various other factors that under the prevailing circumstances are to be considered reasonable.
These factors form the basis for the assessment about carrying values of assets and liabilities. This information is not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously evaluated. Changes of estimates are accounted for in the period in which the estimates are adjusted, in case the
changes solely impact the reported year or are accounted for in the period in which the estimates were adjusted and, in future periods, in case the adaptation will impact both current and future years.
The key judgments in applying the accounting policies of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. for valuation and determination of results are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONThe consolidated financial statements comprise of the financial data of Surinaamse Brouwerij NV and its 100% subsidiaries Parbo Centrale NV and Premium Beverage NV (dormant), of which Surinaamse Brouwerij NV has the decisive control.
Elimination of transactions and balances at consolidationIntercompany balances and transactions and non-realized profits resulting from transactions between the holding company and Parbo Centrale N.V. are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
FOREIGN CURRENCY translationThe reporting currency is Suriname Dollars (SRD). Monetary balance sheet items denominated in foreign currency are converted to SRD at the foreign exchange rates as of the balance sheet date of ‘De Surinaamsche Bank N.V.’ These are as follows:

Exchange rate differences occurring at the settlement or otherwise, conversion of monetary assets and liabilities, are included in the income statement. Transactions in foreign currencies are converted in the income statement to Surinamese Dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.

PRINCIPLES For BALANCE SHEET VALUATIONIntangible fixed assetsThe intangible fixed assets, comprise computer soft-ware, which are stated at cost price, less a straight line depreciation based on the estimated economic life of 3 years, or otherwise stated at lower net recoverable amount.
Tangible fixed assetsTangible fixed assets are valuated at the historic cost price or manufacturing price, less straight line accumu lated depreciation based on the estimated economic lives or stated at lower recoverable amount. No depreciation is applied to land and projects in progress. The estimated economic lives are as follows:
Buildings and premises 15-40 years Plant, equipment, furniture and fixtures 10-30 years Other tangible assets 5-15 years
InventoriesThe raw & auxiliary material inventories are valued at cost price or lower realizable value. Semi-finished and finished products are valued at the manufacturing costs i.e. the cost price of the used raw and auxiliary material and the direct production costs. Other stock is valued at the cost price. Where necessary a provision is recorded for obsolete inventory and deducted from the inventory value.
ReceivablesReceivables are valued at the nominal value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Long-term liabilitiesLong term liabilities relates to the Long Term Incentive Plan for management, a remuneration system maintained by HEINEKEN International which is valued at nominal value.
Provisions (general)The provisions are valued at the nominal value with the exception of the provision for post employee benefits which are determined by the actuary on a discounted basis, pursuant to actuarial methods.
Provision deferred tax liabilitiesThe provision for deferred tax liabilities are calculated over temporary differences between com mercial and fiscal valuations of the balance sheet items tangible fixed assets and inventories, at the nominal tax rate. Movements in the provision resulting from a change of the tax rate are processed, depending on the nature of the principles for the valuation, in the income statement or in retained earnings.
Provision for post retirement medical benefitshe provision for employee benefits is build up based on commitments made by virtue of the free medical health care for current and future pensioners. The pro vision is determined based on actuarial valuations of the projected benefit obligation and discounted at a rate of 1.9% (2012: 1.9%).
Other assets and liabilitiesAll other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are stated at face value.
30
PRINCIPLES FOR DETERMINATION OF RESULTSNet revenue represents the proceeds from delivery of goods and services to third parties, and is presented after deduction of discounts, sales taxes and excise duties.
The operating costs are determined taking into consi-deration the principles for valuation and determination of results and are allocated to the year to which they relate. Profits are accounted for in the year in which the goods and/or services are delivered. Losses are accounted for in the year in which they are identified.
The depreciation expenses are calculated on a straight line basis, based on the expected economic lives. Depreciation of investments during the year are made proportionally from the date of acquisition or econo mic use in case of work in progress transfers.
Income tax is computed on the basis of the pre-tax results as accounted for in the income statement, taking into account tax allowances and wholly or partially non-deductible expenses.
CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWThe consolidated cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method, whereby a distinction is made between cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The net cash flow from operating activities is adjusted for income items in the profit and loss account and changes in balance sheet items which did not actually constitute a cash flow during the year.
In the cash flow statement are included cash items with a maturity of less than one month, including cash and bank loans (overdrafts) repayable on demand.

For a specification of the shareholders’ equity, reference is made to the company balance sheet as of 31 December 2014 of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. on page 40.
The calculation of the earnings per share for the amount of SRD 446.36 (2013: SRD 381.30) is based on the net earnings of SRD 42,538,239 (2013: SRD 36,337,515) and the total number of issued shares converted to numbers of nominal share of SRD 5 each. In 2014, this number is 95,300, similar as in 2013.
The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is within the scope of the remuneration scheme as maintained by HEINEKEN International for certain expatriates.
The cash and cash equivalents comprise:
With the exception of an amount of SRD 2,200,000 regarding a fixed deposit at De Surinaamsche Bank N.V. of SRD 150,000 and an amount of SRD 2,050,000 which has been pledged as collateral for guarantees on behalf of the Collector of Import and Excise Duties, the cash and cash equivalents are at free disposal the company.
9. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
35Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V. Annual Report 2014
Deferred tax liabilitiesThe provision for deferred tax liabilities is established through the difference between the tax and commercial valuation. This temporary difference relates to the balance sheet items ‘tangible fixed assets’ and inventory valuation. The deviation for tangible fixed assets is due to deviating principles of valuation for tax purposes and also due to deviating economic useful lives resulting from fiscally accelerated depreciation on specific production assets. The ‘iron stock system’ (base stock) is applied for the tax valuation of specific inventory groups.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo: The General Meeting of Shareholders of Surinaamse Brouwerij NV
IntroductionWe have audited the accompanying financial statements 2014 of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V., included on page 24 up to and inclusive of page 45 of the annual report. These financial statements comprise the consolidated and company balance sheet as at December 31, 2014, the consolidated and company income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the notes, comprising a summary of the accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibilityManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements and for the preparation of the management board report, in accordance with generally accepted principles for financial reporting. Furthermore management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing issued by our professional organization. These standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the Auditor‘s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion with respect to the financial statementsIn our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Surinaamse Brouwerij N.V., as at December 31, 2014, and of its result and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted principles for financial reporting.
