Jundiaí - SP

Opinion

We have examined the individual and consolidated financial statements of Vulcabras S.A.

In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Vulcabras S.A as of December 31, 2021, the individual and consolidated performance of its operations and its individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Other information accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditors' report

The Company's management is responsible for such other information that comprises the Management Report.

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Practices Adopted in Brazil and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 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 the preparation of individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, where applicable, the matters relating to its going concern and the use of this basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements, unless management intends to wind-up the Company and its subsidiaries or cease its operations, or has no realistic alternative to avoid the closure of operations.

Those charged with governance of the Company and its subsidiaries are the people responsible for overseeing the process of preparation of the financial statements.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our purposes are to obtain reasonable assurance that the individual and consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error, and to issue audit report containing our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that the audit conducted pursuant to Brazilian and international auditing standards will always detect any existing material misstatements. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error, and are considered material when, individually or in aggregate, may influence, from a reasonable perspective, the economic decisions of users taken based on such financial statements.

As part of the audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain our professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated 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.
