acquisition of 100% of the shares of Invitel and 35.52% of the shares of BrT Part. Recorded goodwill is based on the appreciation of the property, plant and equipment and the Switched Fixed Telephony Services (STFC) concession right of BrT. As a result of the merger of Copart 1 into BrT Part, and the subsequent BrT Part merger into the Company, goodwill will be amortized in books by the Company pursuant to prevailing tax and accounting rules, and generated tax benefit.

The goodwill originally recorded under Brazilian GAAP by Copart 2 and merged into BrT, in the amount of R$737,664, arises from the acquisition of 10.62% of the shares of BrT and is based on the appreciation of the property, plant and equipment and the Switched Fixed Telephony Services (STFC) concession right of BrT. As a result of the merger of Copart 2 into BrT, goodwill will be amortized in BrT’s books pursuant to prevailing tax and accounting rules, and will generate tax benefit.

It shall be highlighted that, for the purpose of the calculation of the net assets object of the reverse mergers of Copart 1 and Copart 2 by BrT Part and BrT, respectively, Copart 1 and Copart 2 accrued a provision for the surviving companies’ “net equity integrity maintenance”, in the amounts of R$ 4,072,381 and R$ 340,522, respectively. The provisions accrued reduce the goodwill amount that was calculated based on BrT’s STFC concession right, to the amount of the respective tax benefit arising from its amortization, according to the provisions of the paragraph 1 (item a) of Article 6 of CVM Instruction CVM nº 319/99.

The resulting corporate structure after Stage 2 of the 2nd phase of the corporate restructuring is as follows:

LOGO

2. Presentation of the interim financial statements and consolidation principles

a) Interim Financial Statements Preparation Criteria

The interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, the provisions of Corporate Law and the standards of the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM). The set of practices and standards that governs accounting records and financial statement preparation changed from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. However, the changes have been applied to financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. During 2008, the interim financial statements were originally presented according to the previous accounting practices. For purposes of consistency with the current accounting practices, comparative information for the prior period is being restated, when applicable.

Additionally, we have made reclassifications of prior year’s comparative interim financial statements to conform them to the disclosure of the interim financial statements of the current Parent Company. These reclassifications are as follows:

Taxes on gross revenue from related-party transactions

In prior year’s interim financial statements taxes on gross revenue attributed to related-party transactions were reclassified in consolidation and recorded as deductions from gross revenue. Currently, these taxes are recognized as other operating expenses in the consolidated interim financial statements.

Employee and Management Profit Sharing

Previously recorded under Operating costs and expenses, segregated in the structure costs of services and sales, sales expense and general and administrative expense, it is now recognized under Other operating expenses.

Inflation adjustment of reserve for contingencies

Previously recognized under Other operating expenses and now recognized as financial expenses.

Reversal of interest on capital

Interest on capital declared to shareholders is recorded under financial expenses. Its reversal in 2008, however, was stated in the line prior to Net income. Starting the current year, interest on capital is eliminated within financial expenses.

The effect of these reclassifications is shown below:

b) Law 11638/07 and 11941/09

On December 28, 2007, Law 11638/07 was enacted, altering and introducing new provisions to the Brazilian Corporate Law (Law 6404/76). Said law establishes several changes regarding financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements, to conform these financial statements to the international accounting standards (“IFRS”), and, accordingly, has empowered the CVM to issue accounting standards and procedures for publicly-held companies.

On December 3, 2008, Provisional Act 449 (“MP 449/08”) was enacted as a law, introducing the Transition Tax Regime (“RTT”) for determination of taxable income, which addresses the tax adjustments arising from the new accounting methods and criteria introduced by Law 11638/07, and introduces some changes to Law 6404/76. The Provisional Act was sanctioned through Law 11941/09 on May 27, 2009.

Summary of the impacts of Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09

The table below presents the reconciliation of shareholders’ equity and net income disclosed in the interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, under Law 11638/07, necessary to allow the comparability with the current quarter and refers to adjustment items to said Law applied and presented in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

d) Restatement of Quarterly Financial Information (Informações Trimestrais), or ITR for the period ended September 30, 2009

As described in Note 21, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s Management, with the assistance of its internal and external legal advisors, reviewed the process it uses to estimate the amount of provisions for civil contingencies in connection with the financial participation agreements entered into in connection to the expansion plans of Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações (“CRT”), which was merged with and into the Company. This review considered additional aspects related to the dates and discussions that guided the final decisions of the existing proceedings, as well as the use of statistical criteria to estimate the amount of the provisions for contingencies. The information used to modify these estimates was available as of the original date of the issuance of these financial statements, but had not been considered when calculating the estimate of probable loss. This subsequent information only took into account the information that related to conditions that existed at September 30, 2009.

To present the balance of provisions for contingencies considering the abovementioned changes and their respective effects on the Company’s quarterly financial information, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, pursuant to Decision No. 506 of the CVM, which approved the Statement on Accounting Practices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Error Assessment issued by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil) or IBRACON. The Company is restating these financial statements.

The adjustments resulted in an increase in the balance of provisions for contingencies corresponded to: (i) an increase in other operating expenses, in the income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009; as well as (ii) a decrease in the balance of escrow deposits in both current and non-current assets, which were transferred to the corresponding current and non-current provisions for contingencies as of September 30, 2009. In addition, balances for deferred income and social contribution taxes recorded under current and non-current assets have been adjusted to reflect the tax effects of the abovementioned addition to provisions for contingencies. These adjustments correspond to a decrease in expenses for income and social contribution taxes in the income statement. As a result, shareholders’ equity and net income have been reduced by R$715,584 as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

The following table sets forth the balances of the line items affected by this restatement to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009:


	Consolidated

3. Summary of principal accounting practices

The criteria mentioned below refer to practices adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash and available bank accounts. Cash equivalents are short-term investments, with original maturities of up to ninety days, consisting of highly liquid securities, readily convertible into cash and with immaterial risk of change in amount, stated at cost plus income earned through the balance sheet date, not exceeding fair value.

b. Cash Investments

The Company classifies its cash investments in securities as follows: (i) securities held for trading; (ii) securities held to maturity; and (iii) securities available for sale, linked to the purpose of said investments.

The securities held for trading are stated at fair value and their effects are recorded in the statement of income. The securities held to maturity are measured at acquisition cost plus accrued income, net of a provision for adjustment to recoverable value, when applicable. The securities available for sale are stated at fair value and their effects are recorded under the caption “Valuation Adjustments to Shareholders’ Equity”, when applicable.

c. Trade accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from users of telecommunications services are recorded at the amount of the tariff or service on the date the service is provided and do not differ from their fair values. Service accounts receivable include receivables from services provided and not invoiced up to the balance sheet date. Accounts receivable from sales of cell phones and accessories are recorded at the amount of the sales made when the goods are delivered and accepted by customers.

d. Allowance for doubtful accounts

An allowance for write-down to recoverable value is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due within the original terms of its accounts receivable.

The criteria adopted for recording the allowance for doubtful accounts takes into consideration the calculation of the actual loss percentages incurred on each maturity of accounts receivable, from when receivables are past-due for more than 60 days, increasing progressively, as follows:


Past-due receivables		Accrued loss %
From 1 to 60 days		Zero
From 61 to 90 days		40
From 91 to 120 days		60
From 121 to 150 days		80
Over 150 days		100

F-12

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

Until September 30, 2008, the criterion adopted for recording the allowance for doubtful accounts takes into consideration the calculation of the actual loss percentages incurred on each maturity of accounts receivable. Future losses on the current receivables balance are estimated based on these loss percentages.

e. Inventories

Segregated into:

i) Maintenance material inventories classified in current assets in accordance with the period in which they will be used are stated at average cost, not exceeding replacement cost;

ii) Inventories for plant expansion, classified under property, plant and equipment, are stated at average cost and are used to expand the telephone plant; and

iii) Inventories of goods for resale, classified in current assets. Stated at average cost and basically represented by cell phones and accessories.

For inventories regarded as obsolete, allowances for losses are recorded. For cell phones and accessories, adjustments are recorded in cases in which the purchases are made at amounts exceeding the sales amount, adjusting them to net realizable value.

f. Investments

Other investments are stated at cost, less an allowance for losses, when applicable.

g. Property, plant and equipment

Stated at acquisition or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation. Historic costs include expenses which are directly attributable to the purchase of the assets. Financial charges arising from obligations which finance assets and works in progress are capitalized.

Subsequent costs are added to the carrying value of the asset or recognized as assets separately, as appropriate, only when these assets generate future economic benefits and can be measured in a reliable manner. The residual balance of the replaced asset is written off. Maintenance and repair expenses are recorded in the statement of income in the year in which they are incurred.

Assets under finance leases are recorded in property, plant and equipment at the lower of fair value of the present value of the minimum lease payments, from the initial date of the agreement.

Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method, in accordance with the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, which are periodically reviewed by the Company. The costs of land are not depreciated.

The Company monitors and evaluates whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. No allowances were recorded for impairment of property, plant and equipment.

h. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.

F-13

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

Consist basically of regulatory licenses for the use of radiofrequency and the provision of Personal Mobile Services (SMP), software use rights and goodwill on the acquisition of investments, calculated based on expected future economic benefits.

Amortization of intangible assets is calculated on a straight–line basis and considers, in the case of: (i) permit terms—the effective term of the permit, and (ii) software—a maximum period of five years. Goodwill calculated based on expected future earnings is not amortized from 2009.

i. Impairment of Long-lived Assets

An assessment is performed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets may be identified as those which have an undefined useful life and those subject to depreciation and amortization (property, plant and equipment and intangible assets). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount at which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable value. Recoverable value is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In order to be tested for impairment, the assets are grouped into the smallest identifiable group for which there are cash generating units, and projections are made based on discounted cash flows, supported by expectations on the Company’s operations in its several business segments. Said projections support the recovery of the Company’s assets.

j. Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company evaluates, at the balance sheet date, whether there is objective evidence that financial assets or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is considered impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, that the estimated future cash flows have been impacted.

k. Loans and financing

Adjusted by the inflation or exchange changes and interest incurred at the balance sheet date. The transaction costs incurred are recorded, measured at amortized cost and recognized in the statement of income by using the effective interest rate method.

l. Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognized at cost on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of any of these derivatives are recorded directly in the statement of income.

m. Provisions for contingencies

The provisions for contingencies are recognized based on evaluations of their risks and quantified based on economic grounds and legal opinions on the lawsuits and other contingencies known at the balance sheet date. Such provisions are recognized when there is a current legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, and it is probable that a disbursement of funds will be required to settle this obligation and the amount of the reserve can be reliably measured. The provisions, net of escrow deposits, are calculated at the fair value of the expenses expected on the settlement of the obligation. The basis and nature of these provisions are described in note 21.

n. Employee Benefits

The employee benefits offered by the Company are as follows:

(i)

Supplementary Pension Plan: The private pension plans and other postretirement benefits sponsored by the Company are managed by three foundations. The contributions are determined based on actuarial calculations and recorded against income (loss) under the accrual basis.

The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company makes fixed contributions to a fund, which is managed by a separate institution. The sponsor is not under the legal or constructive obligation of making additional contributions, in the event the fund lacks sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits related to the services provided in the current year and in prior years. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses as incurred.

The obligation recognized in the balance sheet, as regards the defined benefit pension plans presenting a deficit, corresponds to the present value of the benefits defined at the balance sheet date, less the fair value of the plan’s assets. The defined benefit is annually calculated by independent actuaries, who use the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using the projected inflation rate plus long-term interest estimated at 6% per year. Supplemental information on private pension plans is provided in note 22.

(ii)

Profit Sharing: Accrued employee and management profit sharing is recognized under the accrual basis and recorded as an expense. The determination of the amount, which is paid in the year subsequent to that in which the profit sharing was accrued, considers the target program established with the employees’ union, through a collective bargaining agreement, pursuant to Law 10101/00 and the By-laws.

(iii)

Stock Options: The Company grants a stock option plan to its management and employees, and the options are settled in shares. The fair value of the services received from employees in exchange for these options is determined based on the fair value of the options, established at the grant date.

This Company also had stock options of its Parent Company, which were granted to management and employees. These options were considered options settled in cash. These options were fully exercised in the current year as a result of the change in the control of the Company.

The fair value of the services received from employees and management in exchange for the options is recognized as an expense during the vesting period. The Company reviews the estimate of the number of options expected to be exercised and recognizes the impacts of this review in the statement of income. The options settled in shares are recorded as an expense as a contra entry to an increase in shareholders’ equity.

o. Revenue recognition

Revenues mainly refer to the amount of the payments received or receivable for sales of services in the regular course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is stated at the gross amount, less approximate taxes, returns and discounts.

Revenue is recognized when it can reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will be transferred to the Company, the transaction costs can be measured, the risks and benefits have been substantially transferred to the buyer and certain specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities.

F-15

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

Service revenues are recognized when the services are provided. Local and long distance calls are charged based on time measurement according to the legislation in effect. The services charged based on monthly fixed amounts are calculated and recorded under the straight-line basis. Prepaid services are recognized as advances from customers and recognized in revenue as they are used by the customers.

Revenue from sales of payphone cards [Public Use Telephony (TUP)], cell phones and accessories is recognized when these items are delivered and accepted by the customers. Discounts on services provided and sales of cell phones and accessories are taken into consideration in the recognition of the revenues to which they are linked. Revenues involving transactions with multiple elements are identified in relation to each of their components and the recognition criteria are applied on an individual basis. Revenues are not recognized when there is significant uncertainty as to their realization.

p. Expense recognition

Expenses are recognized under the accrual basis, considering their relation with revenue realization. Prepaid expenses relating to future years are deferred.

q. Financial expenses, net

Financial income is recognized under the accrual basis and comprises interest on receivables settled after due date, gains on cash investments and gains on derivatives. Financial expenses consist of interest and other charges on loans, financing, derivative contracts, reversal of adjustments to present value and other financial transactions. They also include the recognition of interest on assets and liabilities recorded at present value.

Interest on capital to be attributed to mandatory minimum dividends is recorded as financial expenses and reversed to retained earnings, as in substance it consists of allocation of net income. To avoid impacting financial ratios and allow the comparability between presented periods, the reversals are being presented under financial expenses, thus annulling its impacts.

r. Income tax and social contribution:

The provisions for income tax and social contribution payable and deferred income tax and social contribution on temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards are recognized at the aggregate tax rate of 34%. Prepaid income tax and social contribution are accounted for as recoverable taxes. Technical studies are conducted to estimate the future generation of taxable income, based on management prospects, considering the continuity of the companies and the generation of income for an indefinite period, inclusive its perpetuity. This future income is adjusted to present value at the nominal value of recoverable tax credits over a period limited to ten years. The technical studies are updated annually and the tax credits are adjusted based on the results of these reviews. Taxable income projections consider estimates that are related, but not limited to, the Company’s performance and the performance of the market where it operates, as well as certain economic aspects. Actual results could differ from these estimates (see Note 12).

s. Leases

Leases are classified as finance lease when they substantially transfer all the risks and benefits inherent to their ownership.

Finance leases are recognized in the interim financial statements as assets and liabilities of the same amount, based on the fair value of the asset or the present value of minimum payments, established at the beginning of the leases. Initial costs directly attributable to leases are added to the amount recognized as an asset.

F-16

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

t. Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value

The financial assets recorded at fair value in income or losses are initially recognized at fair value and the transaction costs are recorded in the statement of income. The financial assets recorded are reversed when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or all the risks and benefits related to their ownership have been transferred.

Gains and losses on changes in the fair value of the group “Financial assets at fair value against income or losses” are presented in the statement of operations under the caption “Financial income (expenses), net” in the period in which they occurred.

The fair values of finance assets are based on the prices currently offered. If there is no active market for a financial asset is not available, the Company establishes the fair value by using evaluation techniques. This includes the use of arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments which are substantially similar, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, making a maximum use of market inflows and a minimum use of Company-specific inflows.

u. Income Tax and Social Contribution on Income and Deferred Charges

Income tax and social contribution on income are recorded under the accrual basis. Said taxes resulting from temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded in assets or liabilities, according to each case, only under the assumption of future realization or payment. The Company evaluates and reduces deferred tax assets as it identifies that it is unlikely that there will be sufficient future taxable income to enable the full or partial utilization of the deferred taxes.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are fully recognized on temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for tax purposes and the related amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax and social contribution are not recognized when generated upon the initial recognition of assets and liabilities which do not affect the tax basis, except for business combinations.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are determined by using the tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date, which are applied when the assets related to deferred income tax and social contribution are realized, or when deferred income tax and social contribution obligations are settled.

v. Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated based on the amount of outstanding shares at the balance sheet date. Outstanding shares are represented by the total shares issued, less the shares held in treasury.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

As shown in note 3.d, the Company changed its accounting estimate on the allowance for doubtful accounts, in line with the estimate adopted by its indirect parent company TMAR. This change in estimate generated a consolidated increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts by approximately R$53,985 and net loss for the first half in the amount of R$38,541, net of taxes.

Past-due receivables are subject to a 2% fine on total debt, recorded under other operating income and collection of monthly prorated arrears interest of 1%, recorded under financial income and recognized when the first bill is issued after the payment of the past-due bill.

The Company can block call origination after 30 days past due, and block call origination and receiving after 60 days past due, and remove the terminal from the customer after 90 days past due, provided the customers is notified 15 days in advance. After the terminal is removed, which usually takes place after 95 and 110 days past due, the name of the nonperforming customer is sent to credit reporting agencies.

The collection policy adopted by BrT Celular, according to ANATEL regulations set out in Resolution 316, established the partial suspension of the services until the full payment of all due amounts, when a bill past was due for more than 15 days and the customer failed to pay or settle the default after receiving the notice requesting payment. This policy also established that all calls received and originated would be blocked (full blocking) if the bills were not paid within 15 days after partial suspension of service. Services were canceled 45 days after full blocking, and then the name of the subscriber could be included in a credit reporting agency list.

The changes to the SMP Regulation went into effect on February 13, 2008, as approved by ANATEL Resolution 477/2007. This Resolution changed the default rules, as detailed below:

•

full blocking starts after 45 days, i.e., 30 days after partial blocking and no longer 15 days; and

•

the total term to terminate the contract is now 90 days after the maturity of the bill, as the other deadlines were not changed.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:


	Year ended December 31, 2008		Period ended September 30, 2009
Beginning balance	(375,390	)	(394,423	)

As a consequence of the merger of BrT Part, such obligation is now recorded at the books of BrT.

Subscription by BrT Celular

On March 12, 2009, Brasil Telecom Celular S.A. subscribed 2,885 nonconvertible debentures, issued by TMAR, for a unit price of R$104, totaling R$300,000.

Civil	(285,506	)	(2,362,556	)

Escrow deposits	2,903,965		1,731,405

The majority of the escrow deposits relate to the labor, civil lawsuits and tax cases, with the most significant individual item being the ICMS (State VAT), as described in Note 17 and the amount increased of escrow deposits is related, principally, to the rules introduced by the new Code of Civil Procedure in Brazil which started to require prior guarantee of process under discussion.

14. Investments

Investments stated at cost (less reserves when applicable) are represented by interests obtained by converting shares or capital quotas of tax incentives in regional FINOR/FINAN funds, Laws for Incentives for Information Technology Companies and Audiovisual Law. The amount of R$ 5,374 (R$ 3,744 in December 31, 2008) is predominantly composed of shares of other telecommunications companies located in the regions covered by these regional incentives.

Guarantees

Certain loans and financing obtained are collateralized by receivables from the provision of fixed telephony services and sureties. After BrT Part was merged into BrT, the sureties and guarantees provided by BrT Part were replaced, in accordance with creditors’ approval, by sureties and guarantees provided by TNL. The provision of TNL’s surety and Guarantees was duly approved by TNL’s Board of Directors.

The Company has hedging transactions for 37% of these US dollar-and yen-denominated loans and financing entered into with third parties in order to hedge against significant fluctuations in the quotations of these debt adjustment indexes. At the balance sheet date, taking into consideration the hedging transactions and foreign currency investments, the actual exposure was 7.8% (8.6% as of December 31, 2008).

The public debentures have unsecured guarantees, through a surety granted by Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. Under the indenture, as guarantor and jointly liable party, that guarantor commits to guarantee and pay all the obligations assumed by the Company with the debentureholders. After the merger of BrT Part into the Company, the debentureholders of the fifth public issue approved the replacement of BrT Part by TNL. This was also approved by TNL’s Board of Directors.

Covenants

The financing agreements with the BNDES and JBIC, and the issuance of debentures of BrT and BrT Celular require compliance with financial ratios such as: (i) EBITDA to Financial Expenses; (ii) Total Financial Debt to EBITDA; and (iii) Total Financial Debt to (Total Financial Debt to Shareholders’ Equity).

As of September 30, 2009, BrT failed to comply with the EBITDA to Financial Expenses ratio, required in covenants of the agreements with the JBIC, and the Fifth Issue Debentures. However, JBIC waived their related rights and the fifth issue debentureholders approved the reduction of the ratio until September 2010.

The Company is required to measure the financial ratios on a semiannual basis (June and December). As of June 30, 2009, BNDES waived the noncompliance regarding the ratio EBITDA/Financial Expenses. Next measurement date for such ration will be June 30, 2010.

The Company estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2009 will not be able to comply with the EBITDA to Financial Expenses ratio defined in the agreement between BrT and JBIC, and has, therefore, requested a waiver of such right to JBIC for this period. However, there are no guarantee that the waiver will be granted. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding long-term portion debt was transferred to current liabilities in the amount of R$ 42,736.

The total of additions, net of reversals, in the amount of R$ 3,214,592, consists mainly in the accrual for provisions for contingencies in the amount of R$3,195,974 (see Note 6).

Labor

(i) Sundry premiums - refer to claims for hazardous duty premium, based on Law 7369/85, regulated by Decree 93412/86, due to the alleged risk related to employees’ contact with the electric power system, health hazard premium, stand-by hours and transfer premium;

(ii) Salary differences and related effects - refer mainly to claims for salary increases due to alleged noncompliance with trade union agreements. The effects relate to the impact of the salary increase allegedly due on the other amounts calculated based on the employee’s salary;

(iii) Job plan and profit sharing - refers to the claim for enforcement of a job and salaries plan for employees, with promotions for seniority and merit, allegedly not granted, and claims for enforcement of the regulations that provided for the payment of profit sharing on the Company’s net income;

(iv) Joint liability - refers to the claim to assign liability to the Company, filed by outsourced personnel, due to alleged noncompliance with these personnel’s labor rights by their direct employers;

(v) Overtime - refers to the claim for payment of salary and premiums increased by alleged overtime hours;

F-33

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

(vi) Job reinstatement - claim due to alleged noncompliance with an employee’s special condition which prohibited termination of the employment agreement without cause;

(vii) Supplement to FGTS (severance pay fund) fine arising from understated inflation - refers to claims to increase the FGTS indemnity fine as a result of the adjustment of accounts of this fund due to inflation effects.

Brasil Telecom S.A. filed a lawsuit against Caixa Econômica Federal to assure the reimbursement of all the amounts paid for this purpose;

(viii) Termination pay - claims regarding termination amounts which were allegedly not paid or underpaid.

(ix) Salary equalization - refers to amounts allegedly arising from salary equalization, job classification, incorrect duties and accumulation of duties;

(x) Indemnities - refer to amounts allegedly due for occupational accidents, leased vehicles, occupational diseases, pain and suffering and tenure; and

(xi) Supplementary pension plan – alleged differences in the benefit salary referring to payroll amounts.

After the acquisition of the Company’s control by TMAR, on January 8, 2009, the Company changed its criterion to determine the likelihood of a probable unfavorable outcome in labor lawsuits to align it the criterion used by TMAR, which takes into consideration the merits of the ongoing lawsuits. As a result of these changes, in the period ended on September 30, 2009 the Company increased its reserve for labor lawsuits by R$334,136 (R$220,529, net of taxes).

Tax

(i) Federal Taxes – several tax notices that require the payment of federal taxes on events which were allegedly inadequately classified by the Company, or on differences in the calculation of these taxes; and

(ii) State Taxes – claim for payment of ICMS (State VAT) on transactions which, in the Company’s view, are not subject to this tax, and discussions regarding ICMS credits taken by the Company, the validity or legality of which is being questioned by the State Tax Authorities. The current management’s and its current legal counsel’s assessment of discussions on ICMS credits taken by the Company, whose validity or legality is challenged by state tax authorities, changed the contingent risk estimated to probable. This change in estimate generated an increase in the reserve for tax contingencies by approximately R$403,399. The effect on net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was R$266,243, net of taxes.

Civil

(i) Corporate – CRT – Financial Participation Agreements – the financial participation agreements were governed by Administrative Acts No. 415/1972, 1,181/1974, 1,361/1976, 881/1990, 86/1991 and 1,028/1996. The subscriber held a financial interest in the concessionaire, paying a certain amount which was initially recorded as funds to be capitalized and, later, after the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the increase in capital, was recorded as shareholders’ equity, generating the issuance of shares. The lawsuits filed against CRT, a company that was merged with and into the Company, challenge the manner in which shares were granted to the subscribers based on the abovementioned financial participation agreements.

The Company provisioned for risks involving losses related to these lawsuits, considering certain legal doctrines. Throughout the first half of 2009, court rulings led the Company to review the estimates of provisioned amounts and probability of loss attributed to these lawsuits. The Company, respecting the characteristics of each decision and based on the evaluation of its internal and external legal counsel, changed its assessment from possible loss to probable loss. In the first half of 2009, the Company has recorded additional provisions in a total amount of R$1,153,456, net of tax effects, with an impact of R$761,281 in net income and shareholders’ equity. As described in Note 2, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s Management, with the assistance of its internal and external legal advisors, reviewed the process it uses to estimate the amount of provisions for contingencies in connection with the financial participation agreements. This review considered additional aspects related to the dates and discussions that guided the final decisions of the existing proceedings, as well as the use of statistical criteria to estimate the amount of the provisions for contingencies. The information used to modify these estimates was available as of the original date of the issuance of these financial statements, but had not been considered when calculating the estimate of probable loss. This subsequent information only took into account the information that related to conditions that existed at September 30, 2009. As a result, the provision was increased by R$2,323,691 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 (R$1,533,636 net of tax effects). On September 30, 2009, provisions for civil contingencies related to claims related to rights of holders of financial participation agreements amounted to a total of R$2,663,045. These proceedings are being heard in lower, appellate and supreme courts.

The Company is awaiting the judgments of the lawsuits filed by the other merged companies, whose likelihood of a favorable outcome in future filing of appeals is regarded as probable by the Company’s legal counsel. The amount attributed to these lawsuits, representing unrecognized contingent assets, was R$18,979 (R$18,843 as of December 31, 2008).

a. Supplementary pension plan

Supplementary pension plans are sponsored for employees and assisted participants, and the latter are also offered health care in certain cases. These plans are managed by the following foundations: (i) Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada (“Fundação 14”); (ii) Fundação BrTPREV (“FBrTPREV”), former CRT, a company merged into the Company on 12/28/00; and (iii) Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social (“SISTEL”), originated from certain companies of the former Telebrás System.

The Bylaws provide for approval of the supplementary pension plan policy, and the joint liability attributed to the defined benefit plans is ruled by the agreements entered into with the foundations, with the agreement of the SPC (Secretariat for Pension Plans), as regards specific plans.

The sponsored plans are appraised by independent actuaries at the balance sheet date. For fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the actuarial valuations were performed by Mercer Human Resource Consulting Ltda.

As regards the defined benefit plans described in this note, immediate recognition of the actuarial gains and losses is adopted, and therefore the full liabilities are recognized for the plans presenting a deficit, pursuant to CVM Resolution 371/00. For the plans that show a positive actuarial situation, assets are recorded when there is an express authorization for offsetting them against future employer contributions.

FUNDAÇÃO 14

Fundação 14 de Previdência Privada was created in 2004 to manage and operate the TCSPREV pension plan.

Plan

TCSPREV (Defined Contribution, Settled Benefit and Defined Benefit)

This defined contribution and settled benefit plan was introduced on 02/28/00. On 12/31/01, all pension plans sponsored by the Company at the time were merged into SISTEL, and the SPC exceptionally and provisionally approved the document submitted to that Agency, in view of the need for adjustments to the regulations. Thus, TCSPREV consists of defined contribution groups with settled and defined benefits. The plans added to the TCSPREV were PBS-TCS, PBT-BrT, BrT Management Agreement, and the Unusual Contractual Relationship Document, and the terms and conditions set forth in the original plans were maintained.

On September 18, 2008, SPC/MPS Ordinance 2521, of September 17, 2008, which approved the new regulation of the plan, was published in the Federal Official Gazette (D.O.U.), fully recognizing what had been exceptionally and provisionally approved on December 31, 2001. The new regulation also includes the adjustments necessary to meet the current requirements of supplementary pension plan legislation.

In March 2003, the TCSPREV Plan was no longer offered to the sponsors’ new hires. However, this plan started to be offered again in March 2005 to the defined contribution group. TCSPREV currently serves nearly 63.4% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan, by group of participants, are established based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to the regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine the costs. Currently, contributions are made by the participants and the sponsor only for the internal groups PBS-TCS (defined benefit) and TCSPREV (defined contribution). In the TCSPREV group, the contributions are credited to individual accounts of each participant, equally by employee and sponsor, and the basic contribution percentages range

F-38

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of Brazilian reais)

from 3% to 8% of the participant’s salary, according to participant’s age. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan but without parity of the sponsor. In the PBS-TCS group, the sponsor’s contribution corresponds to 12% of the participants’ payroll, whereas the employee’s contribution varies according to his/her age, time of service and salary, and an entry fee may also be paid depending on the age at which he/she joins the plan. The sponsors are responsible for defraying all the administrative costs and risk benefits, except for self-sponsored participants and the deferral of benefits.

The SPC authorized, through Administrative Rule 2792 of February 27, 2009, the transfer of the management of the TCSPREV benefits plan to Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social, an entity sponsored by the Oi Group, new Company controlling shareholder.

FUNDAÇÃO SISTEL DE SEGURIDADE SOCIAL

The supplementary pension plan - PBS-A, which remains under SISTEL’s management, dates back to the period prior to Telebrás’ spin-off and includes participants who qualified as beneficiaries in January 2000. SISTEL also manages the PAMA/PAMA-PCE pension plan, formed by participants assisted by the PBS-A Plan, the PBS’s plans segregated by sponsor in January 2000 and PBS-TCS’ Internal Group, merged into the TCSPREV plan in December 2001.

Plans

PBS-A (Defined Benefit)

Jointly maintained with other sponsors engaged in the provision of telecommunications services and intended for participants who qualified as beneficiaries on January 31, 2000.

Contributions to the PBS-A are contingent on the determination of an accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2008, date of the last actuarial valuation, the plan presented a surplus.

PAMA - Retirees’ Health Care Plan/PCE – Special Coverage Plan (Defined Contribution).

Jointly maintained with other sponsors engaged in the provision of telecommunications services and intended for participants who qualified as beneficiaries on January 31, 2000, the beneficiaries of the PBS-TCS Group, merged on December 31, 2001 into TCSPREV (currently managed by Fundação 14) and for the beneficiaries of PBS’s defined benefit plans sponsored by other companies, with SISTEL and other foundations. According to a legal and actuarial evaluation, the Sponsor’s responsibility is only limited to future contributions. From March to July 2004, December 2005 to April 2006 and June to November 2008, an incentive optional migration of PAMA retirees and pensioners to new coverage conditions (PCE) was carried out. The option of participants to migrate results in contribution to PAMA/PCE.

The contributions to this plan correspond to 1.5% of the payroll of active participants subject to PBS plans, segregated and sponsored by the several sponsoring companies. In the case of Brasil Telecom, PBS-TCS was merged into the TCSPREV plan on December 31, 2001, and started to constitute an internal group of this plan. To be able to use to PAMA’s resources, the participants share a portion of this plan’s individual costs. Contributions are also made by the retirees and pensioners who migrated to PAMA/PCE. For sponsors, the option of participants to migrate to PAMA/PCE does not change the aforementioned employer contribution of 1.5%.

FUNDAÇÃO BrTPREV

It is the manager originated from the plans sponsored by former CRT, a company which was merged into the Company at the end of 2000. By sponsoring FBrTPREV, the Company’s main purpose is to maintain plans that supplement the pension plans and other benefits offered to participants by the official social security system.

Plans

BrTPREV

Defined contribution and settled benefit plan, launched in October 2002, intended to grant pension plan benefits supplementary to those provided by the official social security system and which initially served only employees of the Rio Grande do Sul. This pension plan was offered to new employees of the Company and its subsidiaries from March 2003 to February 2005, when its offering was suspended. This plan cannot be joined by new participants. BrTPREV currently serves nearly 21.1% of the staff.

Contributions to this plan, by group of participants, are established based on actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries according to the regulations in force in Brazil, using the capitalization system to determine the costs. The contributions are credited to individual accounts of each participant, equally by employee and sponsor, and the basic contribution percentages vary from 3% to 8% of the participant’s salary, according to the participant’s age. Participants have the option to make additional contributions to the plan but without parity of the sponsor. The sponsor is responsible for defraying all the administrative costs and risk benefits, except for self-sponsored participants and the deferral of benefits.

Fundador / Alternativo

Defined benefit plans intended to provide pension benefits supplementary to the benefits of the official social security system, which cannot be joined by new participants, originated from the merger of the Fundador-BrT plan by the Alternativo-BrT plan, pursuant to SPC Administrative Rule 2627 of November 25, 2008, thus forming a single plan, without changing the rules for the participants and beneficiaries, and which was renamed to Fundador/Alternativo plan. These plans currently serve nearly 0.2% of the staff.

The regular contribution made by the sponsor is equal to the regular contribution made by the participant, the rates of which vary according to his/her age, time of service and salary. Under the Alternativo Plan – Brasil Telecom, the contributions are limited to three times the ceiling benefit of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) and the participant also pays an entry fee depending on the age at which he/she joins the plan.

Actuarial Deficit of the Plans

The unamortized mathematical reserve, referring to the current value of the Company’s supplementary contribution, in view of the actuarial deficit of the plans managed by FBrTPREV, has a maximum settlement term of twenty years, starting January 2002, according to Circular 66/SPC/GAB/COA of the Secretariat for Pension Plans dated January 25, 2002. Of this maximum term determined, there remains twelve years for full payment.

The SPC authorized, through Administrative Rule 2792 of February 27, 2009, the transfer of the management of the Fundação BrTPREV benefits plan to Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social, an entity sponsored by the Oi Group, new Company controlling shareholder.

The contributions to PAMEC-BrT were fully paid in July 1998, through a single payment. However, as this plan is now managed by the Company, after the transfer of management by Fundação 14 in November 2007, there are no assets recognized to cover current expenses, and the actuarial obligation is fully recognized in the Company’s liabilities.

b. Stock options plan for management and employees

An Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 6, 2007, approved a new general plan for granting stock options for management and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and, at the balance sheet date, the following plans were in effect, in accordance with their related approval dates.

Plan Approved on April 28, 2000

The rights vested through stock option grant documents in effect under this previously approved plan remain valid and effective, pursuant to the related terms and conditions agreed, and no new grants are allowed under this plan.

At the balance sheet date, there were outstanding exercisable options, as described in the program below:

Program B

The options guaranteed by this plan are options settled in shares.

The exercise price was established by the managing committee based on the market price as of the grant date and will be adjusted by the IGP-M between the agreement execution date and payment date.

The changes in the balance of the stock options of this plan are summarized as follows:


	December 31, 2008			September 30, 2009
	Preferred share options		Average exercise price - R$	Preferred share options		Average exercise price - R$
Balance of outstanding options at beginning of year	256,855		16.88	79,512		19.04

Balance of exercisable options at end of year	79,512		19.04	37,580		18.87

The right to exercise the option is vested in accordance with the terms and conditions below:

The balance of the stock options represents 0.01% (0.01% as of December 31, 2008) of the total outstanding shares.

Assuming that the options will be fully exercised, the premiums on the related options, calculated under the Black&Scholes method on the grant date, payable to the Company, would total R$104 (R$219 as of December 31, 2008).

According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the potential of these risks is important, in the best judgment. Therefore, there may be risks with or without guarantees depending on circumstantial or legal aspects.

a. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company has evaluated the active market for or effective realizable values (fair values) of financial assets and liabilities by using available information and evaluation methodologies appropriate for each situation. The interpretation of market data as regards the choice of methodologies requires considerable judgment and the establishment of estimates to reach an amount considered appropriate to each situation. Therefore, the estimates presented may not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be obtained in the active market. The use of different hypotheses for fair value calculation may have a material impact on the amounts obtained.

The fair value of swap derivatives was calculated based on the future cash flows associated to each contract, discounted to the market rates in effect at the balance sheet date.

For securities traded in an active market, the fair value is equivalent to the amount of the last quotation available at the balance sheet date multiplied by the number of outstanding securities. For contracts whose current terms and conditions are similar to those originally contracted or which do not present quotation benchmarks, the fair values equal the carrying amounts.

The classes of assets and liabilities presented in this note were selected based on their materiality.

c. Credit risk

The concentration of credit risk related to trade accounts receivables is immaterial due to the diversification of its portfolio and the monitoring controls applied. Doubtful receivables are adequately covered by an allowance for potential losses. (See note 10).

Transactions with financial institutions (short-term investments and loans and financing) are conducted with prime banks, avoiding concentration risks.

d. Exchange rate risk

The Company has loans and financing denominated in foreign currency. The risk associated with these liabilities is related to the possibility of fluctuations in exchange rates that could increase their balances. The loans subject to this risk represent approximately 12.5% (16.7% as of December 31, 2008) of the total loan and financing liabilities, less the foreign exchange hedging transactions contracted. In order to minimize this type of risk, the Company has been entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts with financial institutions. Of the debt portion in foreign currency, 37.0% (60.5% as of 12/31/08) is hedged by exchange rate swap and US dollar options, and foreign currency-denominated cash investments. The unrealized positive or adverse effects on hedging transactions, under exchange rate swaps and US dollar options, are recorded in the statement of income as earnings or losses, according to the status of each contract.

Exchange rate exposure at the balance sheet date, at carrying amount and fair value, was as follows:

Long-term liabilities	771,232	755,494	430,212	441,134

Derivatives

In accordance with investment policies approved by the Board of Directors in May 2007, the Company is allowed to enter into derivative transactions, without leverage, with prime financial institutions, in order to implement investment strategies and to hedge debts. The investment limits in derivative transactions cannot exceed 10% of the higher of Company’s total investments and total foreign-currency denominated debt exposed to exchange rate changes. Transactions of this type can only be entered into after being approved by management, in accordance with formally established procedures.

Internal controls are maintained to ensure timely monitoring of foreign exchange risks. Since the Company has derivative investments for debt hedge, the management and evaluation of the results from these transactions only consider the reduction or elimination of the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on its debt.

(i)	Yen to CDI Swap (Plain Vanilla)

In 2004, the Company entered into foreign exchange swap transactions (plain vanilla) in order to hedge cash flows related to its yen-denominated liabilities with final maturity in March 2011. Under these contracts, the Company has an asset position in yens, plus fixed interest rate, and a liability position tied to a percentage of a one-day interest rate (CDI), thus hedging against the foreign exchange fluctuation risk of the yen against the Brazilian real, which in effect represented a swap of yen cost of +1.92% per year with an average weighted rate of 95.9% at the balance sheet date. Such contracts were entered into with the following prime financial institutions: Citibank N.A. – Brazilian branch, Citibank DTVM S.A., Banco Citibank S.A., Banco JP Morgan S.A. and Banco Santander Brasil S.A. These transactions were duly registered at the Clearinghouse for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities (CETIP S.A.) and there is no required guarantee margin on these contracts.

As the asset flows of swap contracts will be fully offset against the liability flows of the yen-denominated debt, the Company considers that the risk of being in default with a one-day interest rate (CDI) is an increase in the CDI.

(ii)	US Dollar Options

The Company contracted US dollar options to partially hedge cash flows from its foreign currency-denominated debts (Notes issued in February 2004). These transactions involve the purchase of call options fully financed by the sale of put options, and an identical exercise price for both transactions. Such contracts were entered into with the following prime financial institutions: Banco Santander Brasil S.A., Banco JP Morgan S.A., Banco Citibank S.A., HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. – Banco Múltiplo and Banco Alfa de Investimentos S.A. These transactions were duly registered at the Clearinghouse for the Custody and Financial Settlement of Securities (CETIP S.A.) and mature in February 2009. There is no required guarantee margin on these contracts.

Sensitivity Analysis of Exchange Rate Changes

At the balance sheet date, management estimated the probable scenario of depreciation of the Brazilian real against other currencies based on the closing dollar exchange rate (sell PTAX). The same US dollar rate at the balance sheet date was used for the probable scenario rate. The probable rate was then depreciated by 25% and 50%, serving as a parameter for the possible and remote scenarios, respectively.

Exchange Rate Scenarios


	Probable scenario			Possible scenario			Remote scenario
	Benchmark rate	Depreciation		Benchmark rate	Depreciation		Benchmark rate	Depreciation
Dollar	1.7781	0.0	%	2.2226	25	%	2.66715	50	%
Yen	0.019811	0.0	%	0.024764	25	%	0.029717	50	%
Cesta	0.035043	0.0	%	0.043804	25	%	0.052565	50	%

As of September 30, 2009, management estimated a future outflow for the payment of interest and principal of its debts pegged to foreign exchange rates based on interest rates prevailing at balance sheet date and the foreign exchange rates above, also assuming that all interest and principal payments would be made on scheduled maturity dates. The impact of hypothetical devaluation of the Brazilian real in relation to other currencies can be measured by the difference in the future flows in the possible and remote scenarios compared to the probable scenario, where there is no estimate of devaluation. Such sensitivity analysis considers payment outflows in future dates. Thus, the sum of the amounts for each scenario is not equivalent to the fair value, or even the present value of liabilities.

e. Interest rate risk

Assets

Cash equivalents and financial investments in local currency are kept in financial investment funds (FIFs) exclusively managed for the Company and investments in its own portfolio of private securities (floating rate bank certificates of deposit - CDBs) issued by prime financial institutions.

The Company has also granted a loan to the company that manufactures telephone directories, which earns interest based on the IGP-DI (General Price Index - Domestic Supply). The Company also has fixed income securities (CDBs) invested in Banco de Brasília S.A., related to the guarantee for the credit incentive granted by the government of the Federal District, under the “Program for Economic Sustainable Development in the Federal District” (PRO-DF), which earn interest from 94% to 97% of the SELIC interest rate.

The interest rate risk linked to such assets arises from the possibility of fluctuations in these rates and consequent decrease in return on these assets.

Current	1,874,345	1,465,827
Long-term	10,541	1,637,952

Liabilities

The Company has loans and financing in local currency subject to the following indexes: Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP), Monetary Unit of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (UMBNDES), Interbank Certificate of Deposit (CDI) and General Price Index - Domestic Supply (IGP-DI), as well as financing in foreign currency subject to the YEN LIBOR and LIBOR indexes. It also has a CDI exposure arising from swap contracts, the purpose of which is to hedge its yen-denominated liabilities, as mentioned in note 26.d. There are no other derivative transactions to hedge the liabilities against the interest rate risk.

Furthermore, the Company issued public debentures, not convertible into or exchangeable for shares. These liabilities were contracted at an interest rate pegged to the CDI. The risk inherent to these liabilities arises from the possibility of fluctuations in those rates. However, the Company continuously monitors the market rates to evaluate the possibility of entering into derivative contracts to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in these rates.

Sensitivity Analysis of Interest Rate Changes

The Company understands that the most significant risk related to interest rate changes arises from its liabilities subject to the CDI and TJLP. The risk is associated to an increase in those rates.

At the balance sheet date, management estimated a probable scenario of changes in interbank deposit rates (DIs) and TJLP. The rates prevailing at the balance sheet date were used in the probable scenario. These rates have been stressed by 25% and 50%, and used as benchmark for the possible and remote scenarios.


Interest exchange rate scenario
Probable scenario		Possible scenario		Remote scenario
CDI	TJLP	CDI	TJLP	CDI	TJLP
8.6% p.a.	6.0% p.a.	10.75% p.a.	7.5% p.a.	12.9% p.a.	9.0% p.a.

As of September 30, 2009, management estimated a future outflow for the payment of interest and principal of its debts pegged to CDI and TJLP based on the interest rates above, also assuming that all interest and principal payments would be made on scheduled maturity dates. The impact of hypothetical increase of interest rates can be measured by the difference in the future flows in the possible and remote scenarios compared to the probable scenario, where there is no estimate of increase. Such sensitivity analysis considers payment outflows in future dates. Thus, the aggregate of the amounts for each scenario is not equivalent to the fair value, or even the present value of these liabilities. The fair value of these liabilities, should the Company’s credit risk remain unchanged, would not be impacted in the event of fluctuations in interest rates, as the interest rates used to estimate future cash outflows would be the same which adjust such flows to present value.

In addition, cash equivalents and financial investments are being held in post-fixed bonds that could have a remuneration increase in possible and remote scenarios, neutralizing part of interest rates increase impact on debt’s payment flow. However, as it is not possible to estimate their maturity dates equivalent to the financial liabilities, this event has not been considered. The balances of cash equivalents and financial investments are presented in Notes 9 and 10.

f. Liquidity Risk

The cash flows from operations and third-party financing are used by the Company to defray capital expenses on the expansion and modernization of the network, payment of dividends, prepayment of debts and investments in new businesses.

g. Risk of Early Maturity of Loans and Financing

The nonperformance of debts in some consolidated debt instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries can typify the accelerated maturity of other debt instruments. The impossibility to incur in new debts might prevent such companies from investing in their business and incur in required or advisable capital expenditures, which would reduce future sales and adversely impact their profitability. Additionally, the funds necessary to meet the payment commitments of the loans taken can reduce the amount of funds available for capital expenditures.

If the covenants set out in the agreement between the Company and JBIC are not met in the period ending September 30, 2009 and if JBIC does not waive this right, the Company might be required to settle the debt. Non-settlement represents an agreement default event, which could result in default events and or the acceleration of maturity of other financing and loans. If a default event occurs, the entire debt under agreements encompassing cross-default clauses would be classified as short-term liabilities which, as of September 30, 2009, totaled R$3,523,624.

h. Risks Related to Contingencies

Contingencies are assessed according to probable, possible or remote loss risk. The contingencies for which an unfavorable outcome is regarded as probable are recorded in liabilities. Details on these risks are presented in note 21.

This will occur successively until termination of the concession. This calculation method, as regards its accrual, corresponds to 1% for each fiscal year;

(ii)	The definition of new universal service goals, particularly the mandatory offer of the AICE (Special Class Individual Access), and the installation of network infrastructure for connection to high-capacity access networks;

(iii)

The Regulatory Agency can impose alternative mandatory offer plans;
