1   The Company and its operation
 
    Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) is a limited liability company, duly organized and existing under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Our operations are carried out through CVRD and its subsidiary companies, joint ventures and affiliates, and mainly consist of mining, non-ferrous metal production and logistics, as well as energy, aluminum and steel activities. Further details of our joint ventures and affiliates are described in Note 9.

2   Basis of consolidation
 
    All majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have both share and management control are consolidated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Our variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiaries are consolidated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Included in this category are certain joint ventures in which we have majority ownership but, by force of shareholders’ agreements, do not have effective management control.
 
    We evaluate the carrying value of our listed investments relative to publicly available quoted market prices. If the quoted market price is below book value, and such decline is considered other than temporary, we write-down our equity investments to quoted market value.
 
    We define joint ventures as businesses in which we and a small group of other partners each participate actively in the overall entity management, based on shareholders agreements. We define affiliates as businesses in which we participate as a minority stockholder but with significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee.
 
    Our investments in hydroelectric projects are made via consortium contracts under which we have an undivided interest in assets and are liable for our proportionate share of liabilities and expenses, which are based on our proportionate share of power output. We do not have joint liability for any obligations, and all our recorded costs, income, assets and liabilities relate to the entities within our group. Since there is no separate legal entity for the project, there are no separate financial statements, income tax return, net income or shareholders’ equity. Brazilian corporate law explicitly provides that no separate legal entity exists as a result of a consortium contract, and our external legal counsel has confirmed this conclusion. So, we recognize our proportionate share of costs and our undivided interest in assets relating to hydroelectric projects.

3   Summary of significant accounting policies
 
    The year ended condensed Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
    Our condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007, and June 30, 2006 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 is unaudited. However, in our opinion, such condensed consolidated financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
 
    In preparing the condensed consolidated financial information, we are required to use estimates to account for certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our condensed consolidated financial information therefore include various estimates concerning the selection of useful lives of property, plant and equipment, provisions necessary for contingent liabilities, fair values assigned to assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, income tax valuation allowances, employee post-retirement benefits and other similar evaluations. Actual results may vary from our estimates.
 
    We have remeasured all assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at each balance sheet date (R$1.9176 and R$2.1342 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively to US$1.00 or the first available exchange rate if exchange on the last day of the period, was not available), and all accounts in the statements of income (including amounts relative to local currency indexation and exchange variances on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency) at the average rates prevailing during the period. The translation gain or loss resulting from this remeasurement process is included in the cumulative translation adjustments account in stockholders’ equity.
 
    Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). Under the Interpretation, the financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities’ full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts, but without considering time values. We classify interest and penalties in income taxes at our Statement of Income.
 
4   Recently-issued accounting pronouncements
 
    In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2007. We are currently studying the impact of this standard.
 
5   Major acquisitions, disposals and restructuring
 
    In June 2007, we sold through a primary and secondary public offering 25,213,664 common shares, representing 57.84% of total capital, of our subsidiary Log-In Logística Intermodal S.A. for US$179, with a gain of US$155 and a capital gain of US$62. Now we hold 36.37% of the voting and total capital of this entity, which is recognized as an equity investee.

In May 2007, we sold in a public offering Usiminas shares, an available for sale investee, and received total proceeds of US$728 with a gain of US$456.
In May 2007, we acquired a further 6.25% of the total share capital from Empreendimentos Brasileiros de Mineração S.A. (EBM), which main asset is its interest in MBR, for US$231 and as a result, our stake in MBR is equivalent to direct and indirect 92.99% of total and voting capital. We simultaneously entered into an agreement with minority shareholders that gives us the right to use and profit from others ´ property including receipt of dividends with respect to EBM shares and full shareholder rights in relation to the remaining shares during the next 30 years for which we will make an initial payment of US$61 plus an annual fee of US$48 for the next 29 years under this agreement. The present value of the future obligation is recorded as a liability with an equivalent debit entry to minority interests.
We are pursuing various opportunities to become a large global player in coal businesses and in April 2007, we concluded the acquisition of 100% of CVRD Australia (former AMCI Holdings Australia Pty — AMCI HA), a private company held in Australia, which owns and operates coal mines in Australia for US$656. The purchase price allocations based on the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities was based on management’s preliminary internal valuation estimates. Such allocations will be finalized based on valuation and other studies which are in course, performed by us with the assistance of outside valuation specialists. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments set forth below are preliminary and are subject to revision, which may be material.

In March 2007, we acquired the remaining 18% minority interest in Ferro-Gusa held by Nucor do Brasil S.A. for US$20, which then became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
6   Acquisition of Inco
 
    In October, 2006 we acquired Inco Limited (Inco), a Canadian-based nickel company, and the world’s largest nickel prossessing capacity and reserve base, for US$13 billion, corresponding to 174,623,019 common shares, representing 75.66% of its outstanding shares. By November 3, 2006 we had already acquired a total of 196,078,276 shares for approximatelly US$15 billion, representing 86.57% of Inco’s capital. Due to the issuing of new shares related to the convertible debt, on December 31, we had 87.73% of the outstanding shares. On January 3, 2007 the special meeting of shareholders of Inco, approved the amalgamation of Inco with Itabira Canada Inc. (Itabira Canada), our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary.
 
    Pursuant to the amalgamation, Inco changed its name to “CVRD Inco Limited” (CVRD Inco) and we now own 100.00% of share capital for which we paid on additional US$2 billion.
 
    In December 2006 we concluded several transactions to take out the bridge loan aiming to extend our average debt maturity close to the pre-acquisition level, which is close to ten years, as described in Note 10.
 
    The purchase price allocation based on the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities was at first based on management’s preliminary internal valuation estimates. During the second quarter of 2007, we finalized such allocation based on complementary studies, performed by us with the assistance of external valuation specialists. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments in relation to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired set forth below are finalized and the main difference in relation to our preliminary allocation refer to intangibles identified after the complementary studies. The revisions the allocation have no material effects on the results of the three months period ended March 31, 2007, previously reported.

We have certain income tax incentives relating to our manganese operations in Carajás, our potash operations in Rosario do Catete, our alumina and aluminum operations in Barcarena and our kaolin operations in Ipixuna and Mazagão. The incentives relative to manganese comprise partial exemption up to 2013. The incentive relating to alumina and potash comprise full income tax exemption on defined production levels, which expires in 2009 and 2013, respectively, while the partial exemption incentives relative to aluminum and kaolin expire in 2013. An amount equal to the tax saving must be appropriated to a reserve account within stockholders’ equity and may not be distributed in the form of cash dividends. Brazilian tax loss carry forwards have no expiration date.
We have also taxes incentives related to Goro Project in New Caledonia. These incentives include an income tax holiday during the construction phase of the project and throughout a 15-year period commencing in the first year in which commercial production, as defined by the applicable legislation, is achieved followed by a five-year, 50 per cent income tax holiday. In addition, Goro qualifies for certain exemptions from indirect taxes such as import duties during the construction phase and throughout the commercial life of the project. Certain of these tax benefits, including the income tax holiday, are subject to an earlier phase out should the project achieve a specified cumulative rate of return. We are subject to a branch profit tax commencing in the first year in which commercial production is achieved, as defined by the applicable legislation. To date, we have not realized any net income for New Caledonia tax purposes. The benefits of this legislation are expected to apply with respect to any taxes otherwise payable once the Goro project is in operation.
Effective January 1, 2007 for U.S. GAAP purposes, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”.

Pursuant to the acquisition of Inco we executed various financial operations through December, 2006. After the execution of transactions, we completed the take out of the initial US$ 14.6 billion bridge loan, used to finance the Inco acquisition.
One of these transactions, on November 16, 2006, we issued a US$ 3.75 billion 10-year and 30-year notes. The US$ 1.25 billion notes due in January 2017 bear a coupon rate of 6.25% per year, payable semi-annually. The US$ 2.50 billion notes due in November 2036 bear a coupon rate of 6.875% per year, payable semi-annually, and were priced with a yield to maturity of 6.997% per year.
The other transaction involved the issue on December 20, 2006 in the Brazilian market of non-convertible debentures (debentures) in the amount of US$ 2.5 billion, in two series, with four and seven-year maturities. The first series, due on November 20, 2010, US$700, will be remunerated at 101.75% of the accumulated variation of the Brazilian CDI (interbank certificate of deposit) interest rate, payable semi-annually. The second series, due on November 20, 2013, US$ 1.8 billion, will be remunerated at the Brazilian CDI interest rate plus 0.25% per year, also payable semi-annually. These debentures can be traded in the secondary market, through the Sistema Nacional de Debêntures (SND).
The other transaction, which closed on December 21, 2006, was a pre-export finance transaction of US$6.0 billion, defining the final allocation among the members of a bank syndicate. The transaction includes a US$5.0 billion tranche, five-year maturity, at Libor plus 0.625% per year, and a US$1.0 billion tranche, seven-year maturity, at Libor plus 0.75% per year.
The last transaction involved the settlement of the bridge loan with cash and advance on export contracts, totaling US$2.25 billion occurred in April 2007.
Some of our long-term debt instruments contain financial covenants. Our principal covenants require us to maintain certain ratios, such as debt to equity and interest coverage. We were in full compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2007.
11   Stockholders’ equity
 
    Each holder of common and preferred class A stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters that come before a stockholders’ meeting, except for the election of the Board of Directors, which is restricted to the holders of common stock. The Brazilian Government holds six preferred special share which confers to it permanent veto rights over certain matters.
 
    On July 26, 2007 our Board of Directors approved a forward-stock split proposal which involves the exchange of each share, common or preferred class A, by two post-split shares. The split also involves the maintenance of the current American Depositary Receipt ratio at 1/1. The split has to be approved by an Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting to be called soon.
 
    In June 2007, we issued a US$1,880 million Mandatorily Convertible Notes due 2010. The notes will bear interest at 5.50% per year payable quarterly and an additional interest which will be payable based on the net amount of cash distribution paid to ADS holders. The US$ 1,296 million notes are mandatorily convertible into an aggregate maximum 28,291,020 common shares and the US$ 584 million notes are mandatorily convertible into an aggregate maximum 15,147,728 preferred class A shares. We currently hold the shares to be issued on conversion in treasury stock. The notes are not repayable in cash. We determined, using a statistical model, that the

potential variability in the number of shares to be converted is not a predominant feature of this hybrid financial instrument and thus classified it as an equity instrument within our stockholders equity.
On May 22, 2006 a stock split was effected which had been approved by the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting on April 27, 2006. Each existing, common and preferred, share was split into two shares. After the split our capital comprises 2,459,657,058 shares, of which 959,758,200 class “A” preferred shares and 1,499,898,858 common shares, including six special class shares without par value (“Golden Share”). The share/ADR proportion was maintained at 1/1; therefore, each common and preferred share, continued to be represented by one ADR supported by one common share (NYSE: RIO) or by one ADR supported by one class “A” preferred share (NYSE: RIOPR) respectively. All numbers of share and per share amounts included herein reflect retroactive application of the stock split.
On June 21, 2006 the Board of Directors approved a buy-back program of our preferred shares, executed during 180 days. As of December 31, 2006, when the program came to an end, we had acquired 15,149,600 shares held in treasury for subsequent disposal or cancellation at an average weighted unit cost of US$19.98 (minimum cost of US$18.89 and maximum of US$ 20.74).
Both common and preferred stockholders are entitled to receive a dividend of at least 25% of annual adjusted net income based on the statutory accounting records, upon approval at the annual stockholders’ meeting. In the case of preferred stockholders, this dividend cannot be less than 6% of the preferred capital as stated in the statutory accounting records or, if greater, 3% of the statutory book equity value per share.
In April, 2007, we paid US$825 to stockholders. The distribution was made in the form of interest on stockholders’ equity and dividends.
In April 2007, through an Extraordinary Shareholders ´ meeting the paid-in capital increased by US$4,187 million through reserves, without issue of shares. From that day the total paid-in capital is US$12,695 million.

We previously disclosed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, that we expected to contribute US$ 238 to our defined benefit pension plan in 2007. As of June 30, 2007, contribution of US$ 153 had been made. We do not expect any significant change in our previous estimate.
14   Commitments and contingencies
 
(a)   At June 30, 2007, we had extended guarantees for borrowings obtained by affiliates in the amount of US$2, as follows:
                                         
    Amount of     Denominated             Final     Counter  
Affiliate   guarantee     currency     Purpose     maturity     guarantees  
SAMARCO
    2     US$   Debt guarantee     2008     None
We expect no losses to arise as a result of the above guarantees. We charge commission for extending these guarantees.

(b)   We provided a guarantee covering certain termination payments to the supplier under an electricity supply agreement (“ESA”) entered into in October 2004 for our Goro nickel-cobalt development project in New Caledonia. The amount of the termination payments guaranteed depends upon a number of factors. If Goro defaults under the ESA, the termination payment could reach up to an amount of 135 million euros as at June 30, 2007. Once the supply of electricity under the ESA to the project begins, the guaranteed amounts will decrease over the life of the ESA.
 
    Additionally, in connection with the Girardin Financing, a special tax-advantage lease financing sponsored by the French Government related with this project we provided certain guarantees pursuant to which we guaranteed, in certain events of default, payments up to a maximum amount of US$100.
 
(c)   Our subsidiaries and we are defendants in numerous legal actions in the normal course of business. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, management believes that the provision for contingent losses is sufficient to cover probable losses in connection with such actions.
 
    The provision for contingencies and the related judicial deposits are composed as follows:
                                 
    June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)     December 31, 2006  
    Provision for     Judicial     Provision for     Judicial  
    contingencies     deposits     contingencies     deposits  
Labor and social security claims
    431       312       378       234  
Civil claims
    299       136       260       117  
Tax — related actions
    1,045       548       972       500  
Others
    25       2       31       1  
 
                       
 
    1,800       998       1,641       852  
 
                       
Labor and social security — related actions principally comprise claims for (i) payment of time spent traveling from their residences to the work-place, (ii) additional health and safety related payments and (iii) various other matters, often in connection with disputes about the amount of indemnities paid upon dismissal and the one-third extra holiday pay.
Civil — actions principally related to claims made against us by contractors in connection with losses alleged to have been incurred by them as a result of various past government economic plans during which full indexation of contracts for inflation was not permitted and accidents and return of land.
Tax — tax-related actions principally comprise our challenges of certain revenue taxes, value added taxes and uncertain tax positions — FIN 48. The initial adoption of FIN 48 had an impact of US$7 million on our financial statements at March 31, 2007, which relates to interests and penalties. Uncertain tax positions represented provisions for US$824 and US$808 at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007.
We continue to vigorously pursue our interest benefit in all the above actions but recognize that we probably will incur some losses in the final instance, for which we have made provisions.
Our judicial deposits are made as required by the courts for us to be able to enter or continue a legal action. When judgment is favorable to us, we receive the deposits back; when unfavorable, the deposits are delivered to the prevailing party.
Contingencies settled in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 aggregated US$114, US$48 and US$781, respectively, and additional provisions aggregated US$133, US$45 and US$601, respectively, classified in other operating expenses.
In addition to the contingencies for which we have made provisions we are defending claims which in our opinion, and based on the advice of our legal counsel, the likelihood of loss is possible losses, which total US$1,738 at June 30, 2007, for which no provision has been made.

(d)   At the time of our privatization in 1997, we issued shareholder revenue interests known in Brazil as “debentures” to our then-existing shareholders, including the Brazilian Government. The terms of the “debentures”, were set to ensure that our pre-privatization shareholders, including the Brazilian Government, would participate alongside us in potential future financial benefits that we are able to derive from exploiting our mineral resources.
 
    In April 2007 we paid as remuneration to these “debentures” holders the amounts of $6. During the whole year of 2006 we paid US$6.
 
(e)   We use various judgments and assumptions when measuring our environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations. Changes in circumstances, law or technology may affect our estimates and we periodically review the amounts accrued and adjust them as necessary. Our accruals do not reflect unasserted claims because we are currently not aware of any such issues. Also the amounts provided are not reduced by any potential recoveries under cost sharing, insurance or indemnification arrangements because such recoveries are considered uncertain. On June 30, 2007, US$26 of environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations was classified in current liabilities (Others).

15   Segment and geographical information
 
    We adopted SFAS 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” with respect to the information we present about our operating segments. SFAS 131 introduced a “management approach” concept for reporting segment information, whereby such information is required to be reported on the basis that the chief decision-maker uses internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. We analyze our segment information on aggregated and disaggregated basis as follows:
 
    Ferrous products — comprises iron ore mining and pellet production, as well as the Northern, Southern and South transportation systems, including railroads, ports and terminals, as they pertain to our mining operations. Manganese mining and ferroalloys are also included in this segment.
 
    Non-ferrous — comprises the production of non-ferrous minerals, including potash, kaolin, copper and nickel (co-products and by-products).
 
    Logistics — comprises our transportation systems as they pertain to the operation of our ships, ports and railroads for third-party cargos.
 
    Holdings — divided into the following sub-groups:
    Aluminum — comprises aluminum trading activities, alumina refining and aluminum metal smelting and investments in joint ventures and affiliates engaged in bauxite mining.
 
    Others — comprises our investments in joint ventures and affiliates engaged in other businesses.
Information presented to senior management with respect to the performance of each segment is generally derived directly from the accounting records maintained in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil together with certain minor inter-segment allocations.

16   Derivative financial instruments
 
    Volatility of interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices are the main market risks to which we are exposed and all three are managed through derivative operations. These take the exclusive aim of reducing exposure to risk. We do not contract derivatives for speculative purposes.
 
    We monitor and evaluate our derivative positions on a regular basis and adjust our strategy in response to market conditions. We also periodically review the credit limits and credit worthiness of our counter-parties in these transactions. In view of the policies and practices established for operations with derivatives, management considers the occurrence of non-measurable risk situations as unlikely.
 
    For new derivative contracts entered into since January 1, 2007, to protect against commodity prices on 80% aluminum product sales over the next two years we have designated such derivatives (forwards and zero-cost collars) as cash flow hedges. The effect of hedge accounting was not relevant to date.

We consider the effective management of risk a key objective to support our growth strategy and financial flexibility. In furtherance of this objective, the Board of Directors has established an enterprise market risk management policy and a risk management committee. Under the policy, we measure, monitor, and manage risk at the portfolio level, using a single framework, and consider the natural diversification of our portfolio. We hedge our market risk only when considered necessary to support our corporate strategy or to maintain our target level of financial flexibility. The risk management committee assists our Executive Directors in overseeing and reviewing information regarding our enterprise risk management and framework, including the significant policies, procedures and practices employed to manage risk. Our enterprise risk management policy is designed to promote an effective risk management system and to ensure that enterprise-level risks are reported at least quarterly to the risk management committee.
Under United States GAAP, all derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. A derivative must be designated in a hedging relationship in order to qualify for hedge accounting. These standards include a determination of what portions of hedges are deemed to be effective versus ineffective. In general, a hedging relationship is effective when a change in the fair value of the derivative is offset by an equal and opposite change in the fair value of the underlying hedged item. In accordance with these standards, effectiveness tests are performed in order to assess effectiveness and quantify ineffectiveness for all designated hedges. At June 30, 2007, we had outstanding cash flow hedges. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure in variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk such as a forecasted purchase or sale. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated as hedges are recognized in earnings. Under United States GAAP, if a portion of a derivative contract is excluded for purposes of effectiveness testing, such as time value, the value of such excluded portion is included in earnings. At June 30, 2007, unrealized net losses in respect of derivative instruments which were not qualified for hedge accounting under United States GAAP amounted to US$310.
Over-the-counter (OTC) forward and zero cost collar aluminum contracts are used to smooth the effect of fluctuations in the price of aluminum with respect to forecasted sales of aluminum and alumina. These contracts have been designated as a hedge to our exposure to variability in future cash flows associated with our aluminum and alumina sales. There was no ineffectiveness hedge regarding these contracts since the inception of our cash flow hedge accounting program. At June 30, 2007, US$7 of deferred net losses on derivative instruments were recorded in other comprehensive income. The maximum term over which cash flows are hedged is 24 months.
