2020 Annual Report

2020 ANNUAL REPORT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MEGACABLE. (t) Employee benefits- a) Defined benefit plans: A benefit plan is defined as an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive in retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service, and compensation. The liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position with respect to established benefit plans is the present value of the established benefit obligation at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The established benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the established benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the discount rates that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and which have maturities that approximate the terms of the liability for pensions. Actuarial gains and losses generated by adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded directly in equity under other comprehensive income in the year in which they occur. The Group determines the net financial expense (income) by applying the discount rate to the net established benefit liability (asset). Past service costs are immediately recognized in the income statement. Seniority premiums Group companies have established a plan as required by the Federal Labor Act (LFT, acronym in Spanish) with respect to which Group companies that have personnel are bound to pay their workers and they are entitled to receive seniority premiums at the end of the employment relationship after 15 years of service. The liability or asset recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position with respect to seniority premiums is classified as established benefits and is the present value of the established benefit obligation as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The established benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of established benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the interest rates of government bonds denominated in the same currency in which the benefits will be paid and which have maturity terms that approximate the terms of the pension obligation. Remeasurements arising from adjustments based on experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless changes in the pension plan are subject to the employee continuing to work for a specific period of time (the period granting the right). b) Defined contribution plans: Pension plans The subsidiary Tele Asesores, S.A. de C.V., has an established contribution plan, through which the Company pays fixed contributions to an independent fund. The Company has no legal or assumed obligations to pay additional contributions if the fund does not maintain sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits related to current or past services. Contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses on the date the contribution obligation is due. c) Employee profit sharing The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and employee profit sharing based on a calculation that takes into account the tax profit after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision when it is contractually bound to do so or when there is a past practice that generates an assumed obligation. (u) Capital stock- Capital stock, the net premium in the placement of shares, the legal reserve, and retained earnings are expressed at historical cost. Common shares are classified as capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the amount received, net of tax. a) Net premium for placement of shares The net premium for placement of shares represents the excess difference between the payment for the subscribed shares and the nominal value thereof. b) Legal reserve In accordance with the Mexican Corporations Act, the Company is required to appropriate at least 5% of the net income of each year to increase the legal reserve. This practice must be continued each year until the legal reserve reaches 20% of the value of the Company's share capital. The legal reserve may be capitalized but may not be distributed to the shareholders unless the Group is dissolved. Also, the legal reserve must be replenished if it is reduced for any reason. c) Provision for repurchase of shares When a Group entity purchases shares issued by the Company (repurchased shares), the consideration paid, including the costs directly attributable to said acquisition (net of taxes) is recognized as a decrease in the Group's equity until the shares are canceled or reissued. When such shares are reissued, the consideration received, including the incremental costs directly attributable to the transaction (net of taxes), are recognized in the Group's equity. 44
