Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.

 

The historical and current renegotiations are not significant, and the policy is to analyze case by case to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining they need to be reclassified to pre-judicial collection accounts.

 

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.
