10.01 – MANAGEMENT REPORT
 
All ventures of Gafisa S.A. are characterized by responsibility and conquest. After putting into effect a strategy that aims at making our activities sustainable, we celebrate the outstanding results for 2007, with a growth of 122% in launches and 63% in sales from 2006. The land bank totaled R$ 10.2 billion, ensuring launches for a period of two to three years, results which will be in line with our policy. We launched 53 developments and sales totaled R$ 1.6 billion. We built nearly 40 million sq. m. and, on December 31, 2007, 118 developments were in progress simultaneously in different Brazilian states. Our net income, excluding the expenses with our public offering, amounted to R$ 144 million, showing a growth of 89% from 2006.

Behind our achievements lies our great differential: people. We are known as a people-training machine due to the large number of professionals among our employees. We believe that this value makes us a benchmark in the Brazilian construction and real estate development market. When we adopted, in 2000, a stock option plan that privileges meritocracy and values the professionals who show their commitment with the company, we created a team that shares the same ambition:

To be the Largest Company in Sales and the Best in Return on Equity (ROE) in the Real Estate Development, Urban Development and Construction Industry in the Residential Segment. We will achieve this with:

 
·
Committed personnel, focused on results and with a strong culture;
 
·
Differentiated products in all residential segments;
 
·
Competitive products that meet our customers’ expectations of quality and delivery terms. 

In 2007, we took important steps in this direction when we built a business platform that significantly expands the conditions to take the opportunities offered by the Brazilian market. With the acquisition of AlphaVille Urbanismo S.A. and Cipesa Empreendimentos Imobiliários, the incorporation of Fit Residencial and Bairro Novo, and the consolidation of Gafisa Vendas, we expanded our product and service portfolio to serve most layers of the Brazilian population. We also brought together conditions to strengthen the geographic diversification process, adopting a model based on decentralization and establishment of local partnerships. In 2007, our operations reached 40 cities and 18 states, increasingly expanding our presence in Brazil.

These achievements increase our capacity to bring return to investors with whom we have established a relationship based on transparency. The demand for our shares led us to become part of the portfolio of the main index that measures the performance of the Brazilian stock market, Ibovespa, as well as IbrX-50, which gathers the 50 most traded shares on the market.

Since March 2007, we have also been the only Brazilian construction and development company to trade shares on the New York Stock Exchange, a move that was followed by the adjustment of our conducts and controls to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The adjustments have been made and, motivated by a need, we started to introduce the SAP management system. This tool is important for us to face one of the main challenges in 2008: the integration of the group companies so as to capture synergies and business opportunities.

10.01 – MANAGEMENT REPORT
 
With calm and success, we will strengthen our structure as a holding company. The companies related to Gafisa S.A. have total autonomy to conduct their businesses, ensuring a complete focus on the market niche in which each one operates. From 2008, we expect an important increase in the share of Fit Residencial and Bairro Novo in our revenues as they operate in the income segments where the largest portion of the housing deficit is concentrated.

The combination of lower interest rates, increase of the population’s income and credit availability, in addition to optimistic forecasts regarding the Brazilian economy, leads us to believe that the pace of expansion in the civil construction industry will remain strong in the coming years. This scenario poses great challenges and requires precise operating and financial planning, a fact that has already determined important structuring work for our business in 2007.

All this allows us to project for 2008 launches amounting to R$ 3 billion, representing a growth of 34% from 2007. We also expect an increase in our operating results, for which we estimate a consolidated EBITDA margin between 16% and 17%.

Our performance shows that we are on the right track. Our management capability to foresee opportunities and deliver results qualifies us to build together great results in the future.

Relationship with auditors

The policy for contracting services that are not related to the external audit by our independent auditors is based on principles that preserve the auditor’s independence. In accordance with internationally accepted principles, the auditor cannot: (a) audit his or her own work; (b) have a management position at his or her clients; and (c) serve as an advocate of his or her client’s interests.

(a) Procedures adopted by the Company pursuant to Item III, Article 2 of CVM Instruction No. 381/03:

The Company and its subsidiaries have as a formal policy, prior to the contracting of professional services that are not related to the external audit, to consult with the independent auditors, in order to ensure that the provision of these other services do not affect the independence and objectivity necessary for the performance of independent audit services as well as to obtain the due approval of its Audit Committee. Additionally, formal statements are required from these auditors regarding their independence to provide services that are not audit related.

In 2007, we contracted services for the review of certain processes that were implemented by Management during the year, as well as due diligence services. The total fees for these services were R$ 929,000, which correspond to 98% of the annual fees of the external audit services.

The company is tied to the market arbitration chamber, pursuant to the commitment clause contained in its By-laws.

Presentation of the financial statements

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors in their meeting held on March 4, 2008.

 
(a)
Basis of presentation

The financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, based on the accounting rules set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law, also considering the accounting aspects specific to the different market segments, as regulated by the applicable regulatory authorities.

The consolidated statements of cash flow, presented as supplementary information, are not required by the Brazilian Corporate Law and were prepared according to the Accounting Rules and Practices # 20 (NPC 20) established by IBRACON.

In the preparation of the financial statements it is necessary to use estimates which affect assets and liabilities and other transactions during the reporting period and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The financial statements include estimates that are used to determine certain items, including, among others, the estimated costs of the ventures, provisions required for the non-recovery of assets, provision for unrecognized credits related to deferred income tax and the recognition of contingent liabilities, the actual results of which may differ from the estimates.

 
(b)
Consolidation practices

The consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries listed in Note 8, with separate disclosure of the participation of minority shareholders. In regard to the companies-controlled jointly, through a shareholders’ agreement, the consolidation includes the assets, liabilities and income and expense accounts, proportionally to the total equity interest held in the capital of the corresponding investee.

11.01 – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The intercompany balances and transactions, as well as the unrealized profits, were eliminated in the consolidation, including investments, current accounts, dividends receivable, revenues and expenses and unrealized results among the consolidated companies. Transactions and balances with related parties, shareholders and investees are reported in the corresponding notes.

3.
Main accounting practices

The main accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

 
(a)
Recognition of results

 
(i)
Calculation of the result from the development and sale of real estate

In the installment sales of finished units, the result is appropriated when the sale is made, irrespective of the term for receipt of the contractual price, provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the value thereof can be estimated, i.e. the receipt of the sale price is known or the sum that will not be received may be reasonably estimated, and (b) the process of recognition of the sales revenues is substantially completed, i.e. the Company is released from its obligation to perform a considerable part of its activities that will generate future expenses related to the sale of the finished unit.

In the sales of unfinished units, the procedures and rules established by Resolution 963 of the Federal Accounting Council – CFC were observed, namely:
 
.
The cost incurred (including the cost of land) corresponding to the units sold is fully appropriated to the result.

.
The percentage of the cost incurred in the units sold (including the land) is calculated in relation to the total estimated cost, and this percentage is applied on the revenues from units sold, adjusted pursuant to the conditions of the sales agreements, and on selling expenses, thus determining the amount of revenues and selling expenses to be recognized.

.
The amounts of sales revenues determined, including monetary correction, net of the installments already received, are accounted for as accounts receivable, or as advances from customers, when applicable.

.
Interest and monetary variation on accounts receivable as from the delivery of the keys, are appropriated to the result from the development and sale of real estate using the accrual basis of accounting.

.
The financial charges on accounts payable from the acquisition of land and real estate credit operations incurred during the construction period are appropriated to the cost incurred, and recognized in results upon the sale of the units of the venture to which they are directly related.

11.01 – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The taxes on the difference between the revenues from real estate development and the accumulated revenues subject to tax are calculated and recognized in the books when the difference in revenues is recognized.

The other income and expenses, including advertising and publicity, are appropriated to the results as they are incurred using the accrual basis of accounting.

 
(ii)
Supply of construction services

Revenues from the supply of real estate services consist basically of amounts received related to the management of construction work for third parties, technical management and management of real estate. The revenues are recognized, net of the corresponding costs incurred, as services are provided.

 
(b)
Cash and banks and financial investments

Substantially represents bank deposit certificates and investment in investment funds, denominated in reais, with high market liquidity and maturity that does not exceed 90 days or in regard to which there are no penalties or other restrictions for the immediate redemption thereof.

They are stated at cost, plus the income earned up to the balance sheet date, with provisions recognized, when applicable, to reflect their market value. On December 31, 2007 and 2006, the amount related to investment funds is recorded at market value.

 
(c)
Customer accounts receivable

These are stated at cost, plus monetary correction. The allowance for doubtful accounts, when necessary, is recognized in an amount that is considered sufficient by management to cover probable losses on the realization of credits. The outstanding installments are adjusted based on the National Civil Construction Index – INCC during the construction phase, and on the General Market Prices Index – IGP/M after the date the keys of the finished units are delivered. The balance of the accounts receivable (after the keys) is generally adjusted by annual interest of 12%. The financial revenues based on the balance of the accounts receivable is recorded in the results as "Revenues from developments", and the interest recognized on December 31, 2007 and 2006 totals R$ 9,164 and R$ 29,328 (Parent Company) and R$ 20,061 and R$ 39,832 (Consolidated), respectively.

(d)
Certificates of real estate receivables - CRIs

The Company financially assigns real estate receivables to securitize and issue CRIs. Such assignment (usually without recourse) is registered as a reduction of the accounts receivable after the date of the delivery of the keys of the corresponding real estate units that make up the CRIs portfolio (prior to the delivery of the keys, as a financial obligation) - representing the gross amount of the credits assigned. When there is recourse against the Company, the assigned accounts receivable is maintained in the balance sheet.

The financial discount, which represents the difference between the amount received and the credit at the date of the assignment, is appropriated to the results in the financial expenses account over the term of validity of the contract.

The expenses with commissions paid to the issuer of the CRIs are recognized directly in the results as they are incurred on the accrual basis.

The financial guarantees, when a participation is acquired (subordinated CRI) and maintained to secure the receivables that were assigned, are recorded in the balance sheet at their market value in Long-term receivables cost plus monetary correction.

 
(e)
Real estate for sale

This is stated at construction cost, which does not exceed its net realizable value. In the case of real estate in progress, the portion in inventories corresponds to the cost incurred in units that have not yet been sold.

The cost is made up of construction (materials, own or outsourced labor and other related items) and land, including financial charges appropriated to the venture as incurred during the construction phase.

Land is stated at cost of acquisition. The Company acquires part of the land through exchange operations in which, in exchange for the land acquired, it undertakes (a) to deliver real estate units of developments in progress or (b) part of the sales revenues originating from the sale of the real estate units of the developments. The effective construction cost of the exchanged units is diluted in the other unsold units.

The Company capitalizes interest on the developments during the construction phase, due on the National Housing System and other credit lines that are used for financing the construction of developments (limited to the corresponding financial expense amount). The amount of interest capitalized in the balance of real estate for sale on December 31, 2007 totals R$ 36,543 (Parent Company) and R$ 36,686 (Consolidated) (2006 - R$ 560, Parent Company, and R$ 3,314, Consolidated).

(f)
Expenses with sales to appropriate

These include expenses related to costs of construction and maintenance of sales stands, mock-up apartments and corresponding furniture, as well as expenses with related brokerage incurred by the Company (the charges related with the sale commission due by the real estate buyer are not income or expenses of the Company).

The balance is amortized as selling expenses (stands, mock-up apartments and corresponding furniture) or item to be deducted from gross sales (brokerage), following the same criteria adopted for the recognition of revenues from and costs of the units sold (Note 3(a)).

 
(g)
Expenses with warranties

The Company provides limited warranties for five years, covering structural flaws in the developments sold. Given that the warranties for the work performed (responsibility and costs) are usually provided by the Company’s subcontractors, the amounts paid by the Company are not significant and, therefore, they have been recognized as they are effectively incurred.

 
(h)
Prepaid expenses

Includes, among others, expenses with the issuance of debentures and shares, which were paid at the time of issue:

 
(i)
Tangible assets

Stated at acquisition cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis, based on the estimated useful life of the assets, as follows: (i) vehicles - 5 years; (ii) utensils and installations - 10 years; (iii) computer and software licenses - 5 years. Expenses related to the acquisition and development of computer systems are capitalized.

 
(j)
Intangible assets

Intangible assets are mainly represented by preoperating expenses, expenses with reorganization and development of products and new markets and are amortized over a period of up to five (5) years as from the date they start being used.

(k)
Investments in subsidiaries

(i)
Net equity value

When the Company holds more than half of the voting capital of another company, the latter is considered a subsidiary company. In the investees in which the Company holds less than 50% of the voting capital, agreements ensure the veto power to the Company in decisions that significantly affect the business of the jointly-controlled company, thus ensuring to the Company a shared control.

Investments in subsidiaries are recorded using the equity method. According to this method, the Company’s interest in the increase or decrease in the stockholders’ equity of subsidiaries after acquisition as a result of the net income or loss for the period, or gains or losses in capital reserves or prior year adjustments, is recognized as operating income (or expenses). The variation in the percentage of the equity investment in subsidiaries is recognized as nonoperating income (or expenses).

The cumulative movements after the acquisitions are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Unrealized gains or transactions between the Company and its associated and subsidiary companies are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s investment; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction indicates a permanent loss (impairment) of the transferred asset.

The Company’s investments in subsidiaries include goodwill (net of accumulated amortization) upon acquisition. When the Company’s interest in the losses of subsidiaries is equal to or higher than the amount invested, the Company recognizes additional losses as it assumes obligations, make payments on behalf of these companies or makes advances for future capital increase.

The cost of acquisition of a subsidiary company is calculated at the market value of the assigned assets, shares issued or liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, plus the costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The amount of the cost of acquisition that exceeds the book value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary is recorded as goodwill.

When necessary, the accounting practices of the subsidiary companies are changed to ensure consistency with the practices adopted by the Company.

(ii)
Goodwill and negative goodwill on the acquisition of investments

The goodwill is determined upon the acquisition of or capital subscription in another company, represented by the acquisition cost of the investment that exceeds the equity value, calculated based on the percentage of acquisition or subscription over the amount of the shareholders’ equity of another company.

The goodwill is amortized in accordance with the economic basis that determined it over the estimated useful life of the asset on an exponential and progressive basis (limited to the total period of ten years) (Note 8(b)). An economic based negative goodwill is appropriated to the result as the assets are realized.

The Company’s management determines the estimated useful life of the investment based on its evaluation of the related companies acquired upon acquisition, considering factors such as the stock of land, the ability to generate results from developments launched and/or to be launched in the future and other inherent factors. The goodwill that is not justified by bases is immediately recognized as a loss in the results for the year. The negative goodwill that is not justified by economic bases is recognized in the results only upon the disposal of the investment.

On the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether there are indications of a permanent loss (impairment). If there are such indications, an analysis is made to evaluate whether the book value of the goodwill may be totally recovered. If the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, the amount thereof is reduced.

In January 2007, the Company acquired the totality of the shares of Catalufa Participações Ltda. (“Catalufa”) by exchanging shares that it owned in the amount of R$134,029. At the same time, Catalufa, the main asset of which was the investment in AUSA, was merged into the Company based on its book value on the base date of the operation. As a result of this transaction, goodwill amounting to R$ 170,941 was recorded based on expected future profitability to be amortized exponentially and progressively based on the estimated profit projected before income tax and social contribution of AUSA, determined on the accrual basis. In the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company amortized goodwill amounting to R$ 7,500 arising from the acquisition of AUSA.

On October 26, 2007, Gafisa acquired 70% of Cipesa. Gafisa and Cipesa established a new company named “Cipesa Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda.” (“Nova Cipesa”) in which 70% of the capital will be held by Gafisa and 30% by Cipesa. Gafisa capitalized Nova Cipesa with R$ 50,000 in cash and acquired shares of Cipesa in Nova Cipesa in the amount of R$ 15,000 payable over the period of one year. Cipesa will be entitled to a variable portion of 2% of the Overall Sales (VGV) of the projects launched by Nova Cipesa until 2014, and this variable portion will have a maximum value of R$ 25,000. As a result of this transaction, goodwill amounting to R$ 40,686 was recorded based on expected future profitability to be amortized exponentially and progressively based on the estimated profit projected before income tax and social contribution of Nova Cipesa determined on the accrual basis. In the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not amortized goodwill arising from the acquisition of Cipesa as Nova Cipesa determined an operating loss in the period. Additionally, the amortization of the goodwill will take place as from 2009 pursuant to the criteria described above.

Until November 2007, the Company held an interest in some ventures together with Redevco do Brasil Ltda. by means of Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) that are proportionally consolidated, namely: Blue I (66.67%), Blue II (50%), Jardim Lorean (50%) and Sunplace (50%). In that month, the Company acquired the remaining part of the total interest in these SPEs for R$ 40,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company determined negative goodwill amounting to R$ 31,236 (Consolidated - R$ 32,223, due to the fact that part of these SPEs was not directly acquired by the Company), justified by other economic bases. On December 31, 2007, the balance of negative goodwill from this transaction is classified in the consolidated financial statements as “Deferred income”.

The deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that future taxable income is available to be used to offset temporary differences based on the projections of future results that are prepared and based on internal guidelines and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, change.

Should the realization of deferred tax assets be unlikely, no amount is recorded. The deferred income tax and social contribution is presented in Note 14.

The deferred income tax on accumulated tax losses does not expire, however, their offset in future years is limited to 30% of the taxable income for each year. The companies that opt for the presumed profit system may not offset tax losses for a period in subsequent years.

 
(q)
Other current and long-term liabilities

These are stated at their known or payable value and are recorded on the accrual basis, plus, when applicable, the corresponding charges and monetary and exchange variations.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties in judicial lawsuits and administrative proceedings related to Excise Tax (IPI) and Value-added Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS) on two imports of aircraft in 2001 and 2005, respectively, under leasing agreements without purchase option. The chances of loss in the ICMS case are estimated by the attorneys that are handling it as: (i) probable in regard to the principal and interest, and (ii) remote in regard to the fine for noncompliance with ancillary obligation. The amount of the contingency estimated by the legal counsel as a probable loss in the aforesaid case amounts to R$ 16,768 and is provided for in the financial statements as of December 31, 2007.

Furthermore, on December 31, 2007 the Company is aware of other lawsuits and risks, the outcome of which, based on the opinion of its legal counsel is a possible, but not probable, loss, amounting to approximately R$ 67,430 (2006 – R$ 44,437), and for which the Company’s management believes that the recognition of a provision for losses is not necessary.

From the total funds raised in the offering of the Company’s shares in the New Market, R$ 27,979 classified in the “Other – Escrow deposits” account in noncurrent, was retained in a “restricted deposit” account pursuant to a court order. The Company is appealing such decision on the grounds that the claim lacks merit. No provision was recognized in the financial statements of December 31, 2007 based on the position of the Company’s legal counsel.

(b)
Obligations related to the completion of real estate developments

The Company undertakes to deliver real estate units to be built, in exchange for land acquired. The Company also undertakes to finish the units sold and abide by the laws that govern the civil construction industry, including obtaining licenses from the proper authorities.

The Company calculates its taxes based on the recognition of results proportionally to the receipt of the contracted sales, in accordance with the rules determined by the Federal Revenue Service (SRF) Instruction 84/79, which differs from the calculation of the accounting revenues based on the costs incurred versus estimated cost. The taxation will occur over an average period of two years, considering the term for the receipt of the sales and the completion of the corresponding construction works.

On December 31, 2007, the Company had tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards totaling R$ 104,147 (2006 - R$ 67,971), with corresponding tax benefits of R$ 35,410 (2006 - R$ 23,110). The net tax effect of the tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards recorded as an asset in the Company totals R$ 12,499 on December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 14,363). 

The Company did not record the deferred income tax asset on the tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards of its subsidiaries, which adopt the taxable income system and do not have a history of taxable income for the past three years.

Based on the projections of generation of future taxable income of the Parent Company, the estimated recovery of the deferred income tax and social contribution asset over the ten-year period is as follows: 2008 - R$ 6,530 and 2009 - R$ 29,580.

The projections of future taxable income consider estimates that are related, among other things, with the Company’s performance and the behavior of the market in which it operates as well as certain economic factors. The actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

Additionally, the reconciliation of the effective nominal rate in the Parent Company mainly arises from the equity in earnings and use of the balance of tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards of prior years and used during the current year.

15.
Financial instruments

The Company participates in operations involving financial instruments, all of which are recorded in the balance sheet, for the purposes of meeting its operating needs and reducing its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risks. These risks are managed by control policies, specific strategies and determination of limits, as follows:

 
(a)
Considerations on risks

 
(i)
Credit risk

The Company restricts its exposure to credit risks associated with banks and financial investments, investing in first class financial institutions and with remuneration in short-term securities.

In regard to accounts receivable, the Company restricts its exposure to credit risks through sales to a broad base of customers and ongoing credit analysis. Additionally, there is no history of losses due to the existence of liens for the recovery of its products in the cases of default during the construction period.

On December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s management did not deem necessary the recognition of a provision to cover losses on the recovery of receivables related to finished real estate. In the same period, there was no material concentration of credit risk associated with customers.

(ii)
Currency risk

The Company participates in operations involving derivative financial instruments for the purposes of protecting itself against fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.

In the year ended December 31, 2007, the amount of R$ 1,070 related to the net positive (negative) result from the swap operations of currency and interest rates was recognized in “financial income (expenses)”, allowing for the correlation between the effect of these operations with the fluctuation in foreign currencies in the Company’s balance sheet.

The nominal value of the swap contracts is R$ 200,000 on December 31, 2007. The unrealized gains (losses) of these operations are recorded in the balance sheet as follows:

(i)
Cash and banks and financial investments

The market value of these assets does not significantly differ from the amounts presented in the financial statements (Note 4). The rates agreed reflect usual market conditions.

The financial investments are recorded based on effectively contracted remuneration rates as the Company intends to maintain these investments until they are effectively redeemed.

 
(ii)
Loans and financing and debentures

Financing is recorded based on the contractual interest rates of each operation. For the calculation of their market value, interest rate estimates were used for contracting operations with similar terms and amounts. The terms and conditions of loans and financing and debentures obtained are presented in Notes 9 and 10.

The amount for the settlement of these liabilities does not significantly differ from the amounts presented in the financial statements.

16.
Insurance

Gafisa S.A. and its subsidiaries maintain insurance policies against engineering risk, barter guarantee, guarantee for the completion of the work and civil liability related to unintentional personal damages caused to third parties and material damages to tangible assets, as well as against fire hazards, lightning strikes, electrical damages, natural disasters and gas explosion. The contracted coverage is considered sufficient by management to cover possible risks involving its assets and/or responsibilities.

17.
Subsequent events

On December 28, 2007, Law 11,638/07 was enacted, amending the Corporate Law regarding the accounting practices adopted in Brazil as from the year ended December 31, 2008.

Under the new Law, the issue of accounting regulations by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) for public companies shall be in conformity with international standards. In a market release, in which its initial understanding is expressed, CVM says that the standards adopted by the IASB - International Accounting Standards Board are considered an international reference for accounting standards.

Other amendments or legal provisions are expected to be the subject matter of regulation by CVM in 2008, considering the powers of each regulatory agency. Currently, the Company is conducting studies and evaluating the impact of this new Law, including with the support of entities that represent the industry, in order to measure the effects of the changes in accounting practices. Among the main changes introduced by this Law are:

Property and equipment will include the assets arising from operations in which benefits, control and risk are transferred, regardless of whether ownership is transferred. Deferred charges are restricted to preoperating expenses and incremental restructuring expenses.

.
Creation of a new subgroup in shareholders’ equity called “Net asset evaluation adjustment”, which will include the contra-entry of the foreign exchange variation in equity investments abroad when the functional currency of the investee is different from that of the parent company, and the contra-entry of increases or reductions in the value attributed to asset and liability elements as a result of their evaluation at market price.

.
Introduction of the “Adjustment to present value” concept for long-term asset and liability operations and material short-term ones.

.
Mandatory periodic analysis to verify the level of recovery of assets recorded in property and equipment, intangible assets and deferred charges.

.
Change in the treatment of tax incentives, which will be now recorded in income (expenses), although they may be subsequently appropriated to a tax incentive revenue reserve and excluded from the basis of compulsory minimum dividends.

.
In merger, combination or spin-off operations, all assets and liabilities of the merged, combined or spun-off company must be identified, evaluated and accounted for at market value, provided that the operations are carried out between unrelated parties and result in the effective transfer of control.

Based on its initial analysis, Management estimates that the changes above will not have material effects on the Company’s financial statements as at December 31, 2008, however, at the moment and in these circumstances, it is not possible to determine with reasonable certainty the effects of the full adoption of the new Law.
