Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs & Cia. (together, “Goldman Sachs”) have been engaged by Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (“TCP”), in accordance with Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 (the “Corporation Law”), as amended, to perform valuation analyses (the “Valuations”) with respect to each of TCP and each of Celular CRT Participações (“CRT”), Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TSD”), Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. (“TBE”) and Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TCO”; together with CRT, TSD and TBE , the “Targets”; and together with TCP, the “Companies”), in connection with the merger of shares of TCO into TCP and the merger of each of the other Targets into TCP (collectively, the “Transactions”).

 

Our Valuations have been prepared for the exclusive use of TCP’s Board of Directors in connection with their analysis of the Transactions, as described further below, and should not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, to form the capital of TCP under the terms of the Corporation Law, including, but not limited to, its Article 8. Our Valuations have been prepared in both the Portuguese and English languages, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.

 

In connection with preparing our valuation analyses, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) certain financial analyses and forecasts for each of the Companies prepared and approved by the senior management of each such Company; (ii) publicly available financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 of each of the Companies, which were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu - Auditores Independentes (“ Auditors”); (iii) certain other financial information with respect to each of the Companies, including the cash and bank balances, loans and other debt obligations and hedging and contingencies provisions of each Company as of September 30, 2005, as set forth in letters from the Auditors dated December 4, 2005, addressed to each such Company and forwarded to us by the latter and reflecting the best judgment of the Auditors in conformity with generally accepted accounting procedures in Brazil. We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of each of the Companies with respect to their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of such Companies. The Valuations also take into consideration the distribution of interest on net equity, as well as the payment of dividends as anticipated by the Companies’ Board of Directors.

 

In preparing our Valuations, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Companies and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have not assumed, and do not hereby assume, any responsibility to independently verify any of the information or to make an independent verification or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Companies, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Companies under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. To this effect, we assume no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the respective Companies are solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Companies. With your consent, we have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of each Company, as approved by the Management of such Company, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such Company.

(Continued)

 

You have asked us to prepare our Valuations in connection with the requirement under Article 30 of TCP’s By-laws that TCP obtain a determination with respect to the “equitable treatment” of each of the exchange ratios for the proposed Transactions. Our analysis has been prepared on the basis that, if the Board of Directors of TCP proposed an exchange ratio with respect to each Transaction that falls within the range of exchange ratios implied by the ranges of value indications derived from our Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, applied on a consistent basis, then that exchange ratio would constitute “equitable treatment”. Our Valuations have been prepared solely based on the discounted cash flow methodology assuming a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil. The valuation analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which any of the Companies or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transactions. You should further note that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with this Valuation Report. In addition, because these valuation analyses are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Given, further, that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and various events or factors outside the control of the Companies and Goldman Sachs, neither Goldman Sachs, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, assume any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Valuations and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.

 

Our Valuations are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. As a result, the valuation analyses are valid exclusively as of the date hereof as future events and developments may affect their conclusions. We do not assume any obligation to update, review, revise or revoke the Valuations as a result of any subsequent event or development. With respect to the Valuations, TCP and its Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, any Company’s shares. As a result, the results determined in the Valuations do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which any Company could be sold in a third-party acquisition transaction, at which any Company’s respective shares trade on the date hereof or will trade at any future time, or at which the shares of TCP will trade after the Transactions.

 

The preparation of economic and financial analyses such as those conducted in the preparation of the Valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Goldman Sachs did not attribute any particular weight to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Goldman Sachs made qualitative judgments as to the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Goldman Sachs believes that the Valuations should be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered therein could result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Valuations. The results presented herein refer solely to the Transactions and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Companies, the economic group to which they belong or to the sector in which they operate.

 

The Valuations are exclusively addressed to TCP’s Board of Directors and do not address the underlying business decision by TCP to engage in the Transactions and do not constitute a recommendation to any of the Companies and/or the holders of the respective Companies’ shares (including, but not limited to, as to whether any such holder should vote in favor of the Transactions or exercise any appraisal rights or other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Valuations (i) treat the Companies as stand-alone operations and therefore, the analyses and results of the Valuations do not include any operational, tax or other benefits or losses, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Companies, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of shares of the Companies, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Companies. We are therefore not expressing, and the Valuations do not contain, any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of any of the Companies.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have been engaged by TCP and, irrespective of whether the Transactions are consummated, we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, TCP has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to the Company from time to time, including having acted as the Company’s financial advisors in connection with its rights offerings of 2002 and 2004 and in the voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of TCO shares in 2004. We also have provided and currently are providing certain investment banking services to Telefónica, S.A., one of the indirect controlling shareholders in TCP, including, in its cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of O2 plc. We also may provide investment banking services to each of the Companies and their affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation.

 

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may provide such services to each of the Companies and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the each of the Companies and their respective affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities.

 

In preparing the Valuations, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transactions for the holders of the Companies’ shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Companies’ ADSs. In addition, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we have excluded the tax-related effects associated with the future use by TCP of the non-amortized premium arising from the purchase by TCP of shares of the Targets. The financial calculations contained in the Valuations may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon other matters as we considered relevant, if the exchange ratio approved by TCP’s Board of Directors with respect to each Transaction is within the implied exchange ratios derived from the Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, it is our view that such exchange ratio as of the date hereof would constitute equitable treatment as understood in the manner described above.

LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

    Valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005 based on a projection period from 2005 to 2014. All projections used for purposes of the valuations of each of the Companies were prepared by the senior management of that company

 

    Unlevered free cash flows (before financing costs) were projected by the Companies in Reais and subsequently converted to US Dollars at the average projected exchange rate for each year

 

    Illustrative enterprise values of each of the Companies were determined by the sum of:

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the unlevered free cash flows for the projection period, and

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the illustrative terminal value, determined using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to a normalized unlevered free cash flow (capex equal to depreciation and excluding temporary tax benefits)

 

    The valuation analyses prepared for Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (TCP) included the following components: (i) projected free cash flows for its wholly owned subsidiaries, Telesp Celular S.A. and Global Telecom S.A.; (ii) adjustments to reflect the net present value of TCP’s expenses, and (iii) value indication of TCP’s equity interest in TCO, calculated using the Discounted Cash Flow methodology

 

    The illustrative present values of the unlevered free cash flows were calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) between 11.25% and 12.75%. The perpetuity growth rate for the unlevered free cash flow was between 3% and 5%

LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

    The equity value indications calculated for each of the Companies were determined by subtracting from the illustrative enterprise value previously calculated the total value of (i) the net debt and contingencies, as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2005, and (ii) the interest on capital and dividends already declared, both converted to US dollars at such date

 

    The indicative equity values indications per share for each of the Companies were determined by dividing the equity value indications by the total number of shares outstanding

 

    Values were adjusted to reflect treasury shares (reduces the number of shares used to determine the equity value indications per share)

 

    The valuation analyses result in aggregate equity value indications for each of the Companies and do not allocate value between any classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains

 

    The illustrative ranges of exchange ratios calculated for the Companies were determined by the consistent comparison of the illustrative equity value indications per share calculated for each of them

Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. and Telesp Celular Participações S.A.

 

Goldman Sachs & Companhia

 

December 4, 2005

LOGO    Disclaimers

 

Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs & Cia. (together, “Goldman Sachs”) have been engaged by Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (“TCP”), in accordance with Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 (the “Corporation Law”), as amended, to perform valuation analyses (the “Valuations”) with respect to each of TCP and each of Celular CRT Participações (“CRT”), Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TSD”), Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. (“TBE”) and Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TCO”; together with CRT, TSD and TBE , the “Targets”; and together with TCP, the “Companies”), in connection with the merger of shares of TCO into TCP and the merger of each of the other Targets into TCP (collectively, the “Transactions”).

 

Our Valuations have been prepared for the exclusive use of TCP’s Board of Directors in connection with their analysis of the Transactions, as described further below, and should not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, to form the capital of TCP under the terms of the Corporation Law, including, but not limited to, its Article 8. Our Valuations have been prepared in both the Portuguese and English languages, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.

 

In connection with preparing our valuation analyses, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) certain financial analyses and forecasts for each of the Companies prepared and approved by the senior management of each such Company; (ii) publicly available financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 of each of the Companies, which were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu - Auditores Independentes (“ Auditors”); (iii) certain other financial information with respect to each of the Companies, including the cash and bank balances, loans and other debt obligations and hedging and contingencies provisions of each Company as of September 30, 2005, as set forth in letters from the Auditors dated December 4, 2005, addressed to each such Company and forwarded to us by the latter and reflecting the best judgment of the Auditors in conformity with generally accepted accounting procedures in Brazil. We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of each of the Companies with respect to their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of such Companies. The Valuations also take into consideration the distribution of interest on net equity, as well as the payment of dividends as anticipated by the Companies’ Board of Directors.

 

In preparing our Valuations, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Companies and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have not assumed, and do not hereby assume, any responsibility to independently verify any of the information or to make an independent verification or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Companies, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Companies under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. To this effect, we assume no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the respective Companies are solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Companies. With your consent, we have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of each Company, as approved by the Management of such Company, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such Company.

(Continued)

 

You have asked us to prepare our Valuations in connection with the requirement under Article 30 of TCP’s By-laws that TCP obtain a determination with respect to the “equitable treatment” of each of the exchange ratios for the proposed Transactions. Our analysis has been prepared on the basis that, if the Board of Directors of TCP proposed an exchange ratio with respect to each Transaction that falls within the range of exchange ratios implied by the ranges of value indications derived from our Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, applied on a consistent basis, then that exchange ratio would constitute “equitable treatment”. Our Valuations have been prepared solely based on the discounted cash flow methodology assuming a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil. The valuation analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which any of the Companies or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transactions. You should further note that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with this Valuation Report. In addition, because these valuation analyses are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Given, further, that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and various events or factors outside the control of the Companies and Goldman Sachs, neither Goldman Sachs, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, assume any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Valuations and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.

 

Our Valuations are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. As a result, the valuation analyses are valid exclusively as of the date hereof as future events and developments may affect their conclusions. We do not assume any obligation to update, review, revise or revoke the Valuations as a result of any subsequent event or development. With respect to the Valuations, TCP and its Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, any Company’s shares. As a result, the results determined in the Valuations do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which any Company could be sold in a third-party acquisition transaction, at which any Company’s respective shares trade on the date hereof or will trade at any future time, or at which the shares of TCP will trade after the Transactions.

 

The preparation of economic and financial analyses such as those conducted in the preparation of the Valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Goldman Sachs did not attribute any particular weight to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Goldman Sachs made qualitative judgments as to the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Goldman Sachs believes that the Valuations should be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered therein could result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Valuations. The results presented herein refer solely to the Transactions and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Companies, the economic group to which they belong or to the sector in which they operate.

 

The Valuations are exclusively addressed to TCP’s Board of Directors and do not address the underlying business decision by TCP to engage in the Transactions and do not constitute a recommendation to any of the Companies and/or the holders of the respective Companies’ shares (including, but not limited to, as to whether any such holder should vote in favor of the Transactions or exercise any appraisal rights or other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Valuations (i) treat the Companies as stand-alone operations and therefore, the analyses and results of the Valuations do not include any operational, tax or other benefits or losses, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Companies, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of shares of the Companies, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Companies. We are therefore not expressing, and the Valuations do not contain, any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of any of the Companies.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have been engaged by TCP and, irrespective of whether the Transactions are consummated, we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, TCP has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to the Company from time to time, including having acted as the Company’s financial advisors in connection with its rights offerings of 2002 and 2004 and in the voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of TCO shares in 2004. We also have provided and currently are providing certain investment banking services to Telefónica, S.A., one of the indirect controlling shareholders in TCP, including, in its cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of O2 plc. We also may provide investment banking services to each of the Companies and their affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation.

 

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may provide such services to each of the Companies and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the each of the Companies and their respective affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities.

 

In preparing the Valuations, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transactions for the holders of the Companies’ shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Companies’ ADSs. In addition, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we have excluded the tax-related effects associated with the future use by TCP of the non-amortized premium arising from the purchase by TCP of shares of the Targets. The financial calculations contained in the Valuations may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon other matters as we considered relevant, if the exchange ratio approved by TCP’s Board of Directors with respect to each Transaction is within the implied exchange ratios derived from the Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, it is our view that such exchange ratio as of the date hereof would constitute equitable treatment as understood in the manner described above.

LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

  Valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005 based on a projection period from 2005 to 2014. All projections used for purposes of the valuations of each of the Companies were prepared by the senior management of that company

 

  Unlevered free cash flows (before financing costs) were projected by the Companies in Reais and subsequently converted to US Dollars at the average projected exchange rate for each year

 

  Illustrative enterprise values of each of the Companies were determined by the sum of:

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the unlevered free cash flows for the projection period, and

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the illustrative terminal value, determined using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to a normalized unlevered free cash flow (capex equal to depreciation and excluding temporary tax benefits)

 

  The valuation analyses prepared for Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (TCP) included the following components: (i) projected free cash flows for its wholly owned subsidiaries, Telesp Celular S.A. and Global Telecom S.A.; (ii) adjustments to reflect the net present value of TCP’s expenses, and (iii) value indication of TCP’s equity interest in TCO, calculated using the Discounted Cash Flow methodology

 

  The illustrative present values of the unlevered free cash flows were calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) between 11.25% and 12.75%. The perpetuity growth rate for the unlevered free cash flow was between 3% and 5%

LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

  The equity value indications calculated for each of the Companies were determined by subtracting from the illustrative enterprise value previously calculated the total value of (i) the net debt and contingencies, as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2005, and (ii) the interest on capital and dividends already declared, both converted to US dollars at such date

 

  The indicative equity values indications per share for each of the Companies were determined by dividing the equity value indications by the total number of shares outstanding

 

    Values were adjusted to reflect treasury shares (reduces the number of shares used to determine the equity value indications per share)

 

  The valuation analyses result in aggregate equity value indications for each of the Companies and do not allocate value between any classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains

 

  The illustrative ranges of exchange ratios calculated for the Companies were determined by the consistent comparison of the illustrative equity value indications per share calculated for each of them

Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. and Telesp Celular Participações S.A.

 

Goldman Sachs & Companhia

December 4, 2005

LOGO    Disclaimers

 

Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs & Cia. (together, “Goldman Sachs”) have been engaged by Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (“TCP”), in accordance with Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 (the “Corporation Law”), as amended, to perform valuation analyses (the “Valuations”) with respect to each of TCP and each of Celular CRT Participações (“CRT”), Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TSD”), Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. (“TBE”) and Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TCO”; together with CRT, TSD and TBE , the “Targets”; and together with TCP, the “Companies”), in connection with the merger of shares of TCO into TCP and the merger of each of the other Targets into TCP (collectively, the “Transactions”).

 

Our Valuations have been prepared for the exclusive use of TCP’s Board of Directors in connection with their analysis of the Transactions, as described further below, and should not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, to form the capital of TCP under the terms of the Corporation Law, including, but not limited to, its Article 8. Our Valuations have been prepared in both the Portuguese and English languages, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.

 

In connection with preparing our valuation analyses, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) certain financial analyses and forecasts for each of the Companies prepared and approved by the senior management of each such Company; (ii) publicly available financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 of each of the Companies, which were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu—Auditores Independentes (“ Auditors”); (iii) certain other financial information with respect to each of the Companies, including the cash and bank balances, loans and other debt obligations and hedging and contingencies provisions of each Company as of September 30, 2005, as set forth in letters from the Auditors dated December 4, 2005, addressed to each such Company and forwarded to us by the latter and reflecting the best judgment of the Auditors in conformity with generally accepted accounting procedures in Brazil. We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of each of the Companies with respect to their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of such Companies. The Valuations also take into consideration the distribution of interest on net equity, as well as the payment of dividends as anticipated by the Companies’ Board of Directors.

 

In preparing our Valuations, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Companies and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have not assumed, and do not hereby assume, any responsibility to independently verify any of the information or to make an independent verification or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Companies, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Companies under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. To this effect, we assume no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the respective Companies are solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Companies. With your consent, we have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of each Company, as approved by the Management of such Company, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such Company.

(Continued)

 

You have asked us to prepare our Valuations in connection with the requirement under Article 30 of TCP’s By-laws that TCP obtain a determination with respect to the “equitable treatment” of each of the exchange ratios for the proposed Transactions. Our analysis has been prepared on the basis that, if the Board of Directors of TCP proposed an exchange ratio with respect to each Transaction that falls within the range of exchange ratios implied by the ranges of value indications derived from our Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, applied on a consistent basis, then that exchange ratio would constitute “equitable treatment”. Our Valuations have been prepared solely based on the discounted cash flow methodology assuming a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil. The valuation analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which any of the Companies or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transactions. You should further note that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with this Valuation Report. In addition, because these valuation analyses are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Given, further, that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and various events or factors outside the control of the Companies and Goldman Sachs, neither Goldman Sachs, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, assume any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Valuations and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.

 

Our Valuations are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. As a result, the valuation analyses are valid exclusively as of the date hereof as future events and developments may affect their conclusions. We do not assume any obligation to update, review, revise or revoke the Valuations as a result of any subsequent event or development. With respect to the Valuations, TCP and its Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, any Company’s shares. As a result, the results determined in the Valuations do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which any Company could be sold in a third-party acquisition transaction, at which any Company’s respective shares trade on the date hereof or will trade at any future time, or at which the shares of TCP will trade after the Transactions.

 

The preparation of economic and financial analyses such as those conducted in the preparation of the Valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Goldman Sachs did not attribute any particular weight to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Goldman Sachs made qualitative judgments as to the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Goldman Sachs believes that the Valuations should be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered therein could result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Valuations. The results presented herein refer solely to the Transactions and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Companies, the economic group to which they belong or to the sector in which they operate.

 

The Valuations are exclusively addressed to TCP’s Board of Directors and do not address the underlying business decision by TCP to engage in the Transactions and do not constitute a recommendation to any of the Companies and/or the holders of the respective Companies’ shares (including, but not limited to, as to whether any such holder should vote in favor of the Transactions or exercise any appraisal rights or other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Valuations (i) treat the Companies as stand-alone operations and therefore, the analyses and results of the Valuations do not include any operational, tax or other benefits or losses, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Companies, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of shares of the Companies, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Companies. We are therefore not expressing, and the Valuations do not contain, any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of any of the Companies.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have been engaged by TCP and, irrespective of whether the Transactions are consummated, we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, TCP has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to the Company from time to time, including having acted as the Company’s financial advisors in connection with its rights offerings of 2002 and 2004 and in the voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of TCO shares in 2004. We also have provided and currently are providing certain investment banking services to Telefónica, S.A., one of the indirect controlling shareholders in TCP, including, in its cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of O2 plc. We also may provide investment banking services to each of the Companies and their affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation.

 

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may provide such services to each of the Companies and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the each of the Companies and their respective affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities.

 

In preparing the Valuations, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transactions for the holders of the Companies’ shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Companies’ ADSs. In addition, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we have excluded the tax-related effects associated with the future use by TCP of the non-amortized premium arising from the purchase by TCP of shares of the Targets. The financial calculations contained in the Valuations may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon other matters as we considered relevant, if the exchange ratio approved by TCP’s Board of Directors with respect to each Transaction is within the implied exchange ratios derived from the Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, it is our view that such exchange ratio as of the date hereof would constitute equitable treatment as understood in the manner described above.

LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

    Valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005 based on a projection period from 2005 to 2014. All projections used for purposes of the valuations of each of the Companies were prepared by the senior management of that company

 

    Unlevered free cash flows (before financing costs) were projected by the Companies in Reais and subsequently converted to US Dollars at the average projected exchange rate for each year

 

    Illustrative enterprise values of each of the Companies were determined by the sum of:

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the unlevered free cash flows for the projection period, and

 

    Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the illustrative terminal value, determined using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to a normalized unlevered free cash flow (capex equal to depreciation and excluding temporary tax benefits)

 

    The valuation analyses prepared for Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (TCP) included the following components: (i) projected free cash flows for its wholly owned subsidiaries, Telesp Celular S.A. and Global Telecom S.A.; (ii) adjustments to reflect the net present value of TCP’s expenses, and (iii) value indication of TCP’s equity interest in TCO, calculated using the Discounted Cash Flow methodology

 

    The illustrative present values of the unlevered free cash flows were calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) between 11.25% and 12.75%. The perpetuity growth rate for the unlevered free cash flow was between 3% and 5%

Table of Contents
LOGO    Valuation Analyses – Methodology

 

    The equity value indications calculated for each of the Companies were determined by subtracting from the illustrative enterprise value previously calculated the total value of (i) the net debt and contingencies, as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2005, and (ii) the interest on capital and dividends already declared, both converted to US dollars at such date

 

    The indicative equity values indications per share for each of the Companies were determined by dividing the equity value indications by the total number of shares outstanding

 

    Values were adjusted to reflect treasury shares (reduces the number of shares used to determine the equity value indications per share)

 

    The valuation analyses result in aggregate equity value indications for each of the Companies and do not allocate value between any classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains

 

    The illustrative ranges of exchange ratios calculated for the Companies were determined by the consistent comparison of the illustrative equity value indications per share calculated for each of them

Disclaimers

Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs & Cia. (together, “Goldman Sachs”) have been engaged by Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (“TCP”), in accordance with Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976 (the “Corporation Law”), as amended, to perform valuation analyses (the “Valuations”) with respect to each of TCP and each of Celular CRT Participações (“CRT”), Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TSD”), Tele Leste Celular Participações S.A. (“TBE”) and Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A. (“TCO”; together with CRT, TSD and TBE            , the “Targets”; and together with TCP, the “Companies”), in connection with the merger of shares of TCO into TCP and the merger of each of the other Targets into TCP (collectively, the “Transactions”).

Our Valuations have been prepared for the exclusive use of TCP’s Board of Directors in connection with their analysis of the Transactions, as described further below, and should not be used for any other purposes, including, without limitation, to form the capital of TCP under the terms of the Corporation Law, including, but not limited to, its Article 8. Our Valuations have been prepared in both the Portuguese and English languages, and the Portuguese version shall prevail for all purposes.

In connection with preparing our valuation analyses, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) certain financial analyses and forecasts for each of the Companies prepared and approved by the senior management of each such Company; (ii) publicly available financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 of each of the Companies, which were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu—Auditores Independentes (“ Auditors”); (iii) certain other financial information with respect to each of the Companies, including the cash and bank balances, loans and other debt obligations and hedging and contingencies provisions of each Company as of September 30, 2005, as set forth in letters from the Auditors dated December 4, 2005, addressed to each such Company and forwarded to us by the latter and reflecting the best judgment of the Auditors in conformity with generally accepted accounting procedures in Brazil. We also have held discussions with members of the senior management of each of the Companies with respect to their assessment of the past and current business operations, financial condition and prospects of such Companies. The Valuations also take into consideration the distribution of interest on net equity, as well as the payment of dividends as anticipated by the Companies’ Board of Directors.

In preparing our Valuations, we have assumed and relied, with the express consent of the Companies and without independent verification, on the accuracy, content, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, sufficiency and integrity of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information reviewed by or discussed with us, and we have not assumed, and do not hereby assume, any responsibility to independently verify any of the information or to make an independent verification or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Companies, nor have we examined the solvency or fair value of the Companies under any laws concerning bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. To this effect, we assume no responsibility or liability with respect to the accuracy, truthfulness, integrity, consistency, or sufficiency of such information, for which the respective Companies are solely and exclusively responsible. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, and have not conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Companies. With your consent, we have assumed that the financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the senior management of each Company, as approved by the Management of such Company, have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such Company.

(Continued)

You have asked us to prepare our Valuations in connection with the requirement under Article 30 of TCP’s By-laws that TCP obtain a determination with respect to the “equitable treatment” of each of the exchange ratios for the proposed Transactions. Our analysis has been prepared on the basis that, if the Board of Directors of TCP proposed an exchange ratio with respect to each Transaction that falls within the range of exchange ratios implied by the ranges of value indications derived from our Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, applied on a consistent basis, then that exchange ratio would constitute “equitable treatment”. Our Valuations have been prepared solely based on the discounted cash flow methodology assuming a stable macroeconomic scenario for Brazil. The valuation analyses and the results therefrom do not purport to reflect the prices at which any of the Companies or its securities could be sold, nor do they take into account any element of value that may arise from the accomplishment or expectation of the proposed Transactions. You should further note that we are not an accounting firm and we did not provide accounting or audit services in connection with this Valuation Report. In addition, because these valuation analyses are based upon forecasts of future financial results, they are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. Given, further, that these analyses are intrinsically subject to uncertainties and various events or factors outside the control of the Companies and Goldman Sachs, neither Goldman Sachs, nor any of its affiliates and representatives, assume any responsibility or liability if future results differ substantially from the projections presented in the Valuations and make no representation or warranty with respect to such projections.

Our Valuations are necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. As a result, the valuation analyses are valid exclusively as of the date hereof as future events and developments may affect their conclusions. We do not assume any obligation to update, review, revise or revoke the Valuations as a result of any subsequent event or development. With respect to the Valuations, TCP and its Board of Directors have not authorized us to solicit, nor have we solicited any indication of interest from third parties to acquire, in whole or in part, any Company’s shares. As a result, the results determined in the Valuations do not necessarily correspond to, and should not be construed as representative of, the prices at which any Company could be sold in a third-party acquisition transaction, at which any Company’s respective shares trade on the date hereof or will trade at any future time, or at which the shares of TCP will trade after the Transactions.

The preparation of economic and financial analyses such as those conducted in the preparation of the Valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its conclusions, Goldman Sachs did not attribute any particular weight to any particular factor considered by it; rather, Goldman Sachs made qualitative judgments as to the importance and relevance of all the factors considered therein. Accordingly, Goldman Sachs believes that the Valuations should be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors considered therein could result in an incomplete and incorrect understanding of the conclusions of the Valuations. The results presented herein refer solely to the Transactions and do not extend to any other present or future matters or transactions regarding the Companies, the economic group to which they belong or to the sector in which they operate.

The Valuations are exclusively addressed to TCP’s Board of Directors and do not address the underlying business decision by TCP to engage in the Transactions and do not constitute a recommendation to any of the Companies and/or the holders of the respective Companies’ shares (including, but not limited to, as to whether any such holder should vote in favor of the Transactions or exercise any appraisal rights or other rights with respect thereto). In addition, the Valuations (i) treat the Companies as stand-alone operations and therefore, the analyses and results of the Valuations do not include any operational, tax or other benefits or losses, or synergies, incremental value and/or costs for the Companies, if any, which may arise from the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) do not address the treatment of the different classes of shares of the Companies, and any adjustments intended to offset, or that may reflect, any specific rights associated with any specific class of shares of the Companies. We are therefore not expressing, and the Valuations do not contain, any views relating to the distribution of economic value among the various classes of shares of any of the Companies.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions as well as for estate, corporate and other purposes. We have been engaged by TCP and, irrespective of whether the Transactions are consummated, we will receive a fee for the services provided by us. Moreover, TCP has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise as a result of our engagement. In addition, we have provided certain investment banking services to the Company from time to time, including having acted as the Company’s financial advisors in connection with its rights offerings of 2002 and 2004 and in the voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of TCO shares in 2004. We also have provided and currently are providing certain investment banking services to Telefónica, S.A., one of the indirect controlling shareholders in TCP, including, in its cash offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of O2 plc. We also may provide investment banking services to each of the Companies and their affiliates in the future. In connection with the above-described services we have received, and may receive, compensation.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates may provide such services to each of the Companies and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of the each of the Companies and their respective affiliates for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities.

In preparing the Valuations, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we did not take into account (i) the tax consequences of the Transactions for the holders of the Companies’ shares, and (ii) the impact of any fees and expenses that may result from the consummation of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, those related to any depositary services that may be charged to the holders of the Companies’ ADSs. In addition, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, we have excluded the tax-related effects associated with the future use by TCP of the non-amortized premium arising from the purchase by TCP of shares of the Targets. The financial calculations contained in the Valuations may not always result in a precise sum due to rounding.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon other matters as we considered relevant, if the exchange ratio approved by TCP’s Board of Directors with respect to each Transaction is within the implied exchange ratios derived from the Valuations with respect to TCP and the relevant Target involved in such Transaction, it is our view that such exchange ratio as of the date hereof would constitute equitable treatment as understood in the manner described above.

Valuation Analyses – Methodology

Valuation analyses were performed as of September 30, 2005 based on a projection period from 2005 to 2014. All projections used for purposes of the valuations of each of the Companies were prepared by the senior management of that company

Unlevered free cash flows (before financing costs) were projected by the Companies in Reais and subsequently converted to US Dollars at the average projected exchange rate for each year

Illustrative enterprise values of each of the Companies were determined by the sum of:

Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the unlevered free cash flows for the projection period, and

Net present value indications calculated as of September 30, 2005 with respect to the illustrative terminal value, determined using the perpetuity growth methodology applied to a normalized unlevered free cash flow (capex equal to depreciation and excluding temporary tax benefits)

The valuation analyses prepared for Telesp Celular Participações S.A. (TCP) included the following components: (i) projected free cash flows for its wholly owned subsidiaries, Telesp Celular S.A. and Global Telecom S.A.; (ii) adjustments to reflect the net present value of TCP’s expenses, and (iii) value indication of TCP’s equity interest in TCO, calculated using the Discounted Cash Flow methodology

The illustrative present values of the unlevered free cash flows were calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) between 11.25% and 12.75%. The perpetuity growth rate for the unlevered free cash flow was between 3% and 5%

Valuation Analyses – Methodology

The equity value indications calculated for each of the Companies were determined by subtracting from the illustrative enterprise value previously calculated the total value of (i) the net debt and contingencies, as set forth in the audited balance sheets as of September 30, 2005, and (ii) the interest on capital and dividends already declared, both converted to US dollars at such date

The indicative equity values indications per share for each of the Companies were determined by dividing the equity value indications by the total number of shares outstanding

Values were adjusted to reflect treasury shares (reduces the number of shares used to determine the equity value indications per share)

The valuation analyses result in aggregate equity value indications for each of the Companies and do not allocate value between any classes of shares. No adjustments were made as to potential benefits that may arise from the transaction, such as synergies or tax gains

The illustrative ranges of exchange ratios calculated for the Companies were determined by the consistent comparison of the illustrative equity value indications per share calculated for each of them

V - SCOPE

 

The methodology has been applied to calculate the market value of the Actual Net Equity (ANE) of the Company, and mainly considered the assets and liabilities registered in the accounting information reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors, under the rules of IBRACON applicable to the statements on the basis date of September 30, 2005, and further, the interim balance sheets furnished by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

This methodology is applicable to determine the market value of assets and liabilities of a certain company. Its application considers as starting point the accounting values of assets and liabilities and makes adjustments to several of these items in order to reflect their respective probable realization values.

 

For that purpose, the following procedures have been carried out:

 

    Reading and analysis of interim balance sheets furnished by the Company and its controlled companies;

 

    Analysis of assets and liabilities accounts registered in the Company’s and its controlled companies’ balance sheets, aiming at identifying items that might be adjusted, as well as the calculation of their probable market value;

 

    Adjustments of accounting statements to their market value based on the result of our analysis;

 

    Adjustments of property, plant and equipment by their respective market value, based on the analysis carried out by the technical staff of PLANCONSULT with experience in evaluating fixed assets of telecommunications companies;

 

    Calculation of investments values of the Company and its subsidiaries by the equity method of accounting, based on the net equity at market of these subsidiaries;

 

    Calculation of tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the surplus and deficit resulting from such valuation;

 

    Calculation of the market value of the Company’s net equity (Exhibit I).

 

The details of the foregoing procedures and calculations are set forth in Chapter VIII of this report.

 

The methodology and scope of this report are aimed at evaluating a company in operation, therefore, except for tax costs and credits, any cost related to expenses ordinarily incurred in the realization of assets or payment of liabilities, as well as those related to bankruptcy or liquidation procedures of companies, such as terminations, costs in connection with judicial disputes, retainment of third parties (legal counsels, advisors, etc.) have not been considered in our calculations.

When existing, the total amount of goodwill and negative goodwill registered in the account for investments in controlled companies, the amount prepaid for acquisition of shares concerning the special goodwill reserve and their respective tax credits have been disregarded in the result of this valuation.

 

The ANE methodology exclusively considers the market value of tangible assets and adjusted liabilities at market, excluding, therefore, market values of intangible assets, which are registered in most of the companies in operation, and disregarding the prospective future profitability of the company.

 

Consequently, the object of our analysis was not the identification and valuation of the Company’s intangible assets, which were not accounted for in the accounting statements, or the identification and quantification of liabilities unregistered and undisclosed by the Company’s Management.

 

The Fixed Assets were valuated as follows:

 

1. Development of the analysis

 

  1.1 PLANCONSULT requested from to the Company the existing individual records and/or information of asset or engineer control of all its equity assets, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, containing, but not limited to, the following information:

 

    Number of the asset or of its control

 

    Account

 

    Place

 

    Purchase date

 

    Description of the asset

 

    Original purchase values, monetary adjustment and depreciation

 

    Other information

 

The information already available at the accounting and technical files of the Company were used at most in order to preserve the “memory” of the Company.

 

The register of offer prices of equipment was also requested, containing the most recently used prices and the prices effectively paid by the Company, as well as the amounts for installation and manpower of contractors.

 

  1.2 PLANCONSULT carried out, due to the short amount of time available, by a reduced sampling, a physical inspection of the assets under analysis, jointly with the Company.

 

On the places where the inspections were carried out, employees of the Company accompanied the staff of PLANCONSULT. These people were familiar with the assets under inspection and could clarify the doubts regarding the physical inventory of the assets.

 

  1.3 Based on the accounting file sent by the Company, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, PLANCONSULT processed a summary of the amounts per account.

 

     7    LOGO


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

Based on such summary, the accounts with relevant amounts were set forth, due to the representation of the accounting values over the total adjusted value of the company and due to the operational status of the account.

 

2. Items valuated at market value

 

Market Value is considered the value that the asset would obtain in a purchase and sale transaction, within a reasonable term, not being the purchaser and the seller constrained to transact and considering that the parties know their assets in detail.

 

PLANCONSULT bases their valuation of the Fixed Assets on the ABNT RULES. These rules impose the current rules applicable to valuation, setting forth guidelines that are basic to the good valuation and basically orientate, according to two methods:

 

    Comparative method

 

The value of the asset is obtained from the comparison of market data regarding other assets of similar characteristics.

 

    Cost method

 

The value of the asset results from a summary or detailed budget or from the composition of the cost of other assets that are equal (manufacturing cost) or equivalent (replacement cost) to the object of the valuation.

 

The valuation of fixed assets, as a rule, is carried out through the method of replacement or substitution cost. In the case under analysis, the replacement or substitution cost may be summarized as the sum total of the purchase price of the fixed assets with all the implications of taxes, transportation costs to the place of use, with the costs of materials for installation, respective labor, including in regard to special or regular finish, engineering, supervision, etc.

 

Information relating to recent purchase of fixed assets (goods and services), resulting from quotations and negotiations with suppliers in the Brazilian market, were obtained from the Company.

 

Researches on the useful lives of each kind of fixed assets, mainly set forth on account of their use and technological obsoleteness, were also carried out, in order to find out the effective depreciation rate to be applied to each asset.

 

The depreciation factor adjusts the market value of the asset. By applying the due depreciation to the price (or cost), the market price is found out.

 

The valuation presented in this work normally fit in the “Precise Valuations” of the RULES of ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), except for the accounts and items that present a lower value (please refer to Chapter II – Methodology) and that fit in the “Expeditious Valuations”.

VI - PROCEDURES

 

The main procedures adopted in our analysis were the following:

We do not describe the meaning of each Asset and Liability Accounts (Capital Accounts) provided that the Company (and its respective Controlled Companies) has to comply with the Accounts Plan (including the content thereof) determined by the regulatory body of the telecommunications sector – ANATEL.

 

Certain Assets and Liabilities accounts may have their original accounting value set to zero, pursuant to the balance sheets delivered by the Company (and of its respective Controlled Companies).

 

The Market Value arises out of the calculation of the Present Value of each Capital Account, taking into consideration their respective ageing and a Discount rate equal to the capital cost of the company (based on the study carried out by Banco Goldman Sachs, retained by the Company to render a valuation based on the Economic Value Method), duly adjusted in order to consider inflation differences between the Brazilian and U.S. currencies.

 

2) Treatment of the Goodwill

 

Based on the opinion of Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, as to the interpretation of the Corporation Law (art. 264, caput and paragraph 2 of Law No. 6,404/76) in connection with the treatment of the goodwill, negative goodwill and any reserve for losses in the merger of shares, we have disregarded these items in the calculation of the net equity of the Company at market value.

 

3) Discount rate

 

In relation to the flow Discount rate at Present Value of each capital account, we have adopted in this analysis the capital cost equal to 15.9407% p.a., in accordance with EXHIBIT II, considering that all amounts existing in the financial statements furnished by the Company are expressed in Brazilian currency (R$ - Reais).

V - SCOPE

 

The methodology has been applied to calculate the market value of the Actual Net Equity (ANE) of the Company, and mainly considered the assets and liabilities registered in the accounting information reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors, under the rules of IBRACON applicable to the statements on the basis date of September 30, 2005, and further, the interim balance sheets furnished by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

This methodology is applicable to determine the market value of assets and liabilities of a certain company. Its application considers as starting point the accounting values of assets and liabilities and makes adjustments to several of these items in order to reflect their respective probable realization values.

 

For that purpose, the following procedures have been carried out:

 

    Reading and analysis of interim balance sheets furnished by the Company and its controlled companies;

 

    Analysis of assets and liabilities accounts registered in the Company’s and its controlled companies’ balance sheets, aiming at identifying items that might be adjusted, as well as the calculation of their probable market value;

 

    Adjustments of accounting statements to their market value based on the result of our analysis;

 

    Adjustments of property, plant and equipment by their respective market value, based on the analysis carried out by the technical staff of PLANCONSULT with experience in evaluating fixed assets of telecommunications companies;

 

    Calculation of investments values of the Company and its subsidiaries by the equity method of accounting, based on the net equity at market of these subsidiaries;

 

    Calculation of tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the surplus and deficit resulting from such valuation;

 

    Calculation of the market value of the Company’s net equity (Exhibit I).

 

The details of the foregoing procedures and calculations are set forth in Chapter VIII of this report.

 

The methodology and scope of this report aimed at evaluating a company in operation, therefore, except for tax costs and credits, any cost related to expenses ordinarily incurred in the realization of assets or payment of liabilities, as well as those related to bankruptcy or liquidation procedures of companies, such as terminations, costs in connection with judicial disputes, retainment of third parties (legal counsels, advisors, etc.) have not been considered in our calculations.

When existing, the total amount of goodwill and negative goodwill registered in the investment account held in controlled companies, the amount prepaid for acquisition of shares concerning the special goodwill reserve and their respective tax credits have been disregarded in the result of this valuation.

 

The ANE methodology exclusively considers the market value of tangible assets and adjusted liabilities at market, excluding, therefore, market values of intangible assets, which are registered in most of the companies in operation, and disregarding the prospective future profitability of the company.

 

Consequently, the object of our analysis was not the identification and valuation of the Company’s intangible assets, which were not accounted for in the accounting statements, or the identification and quantification of liabilities unregistered and undisclosed by the Company’s Management.

 

The Fixed Assets were valuated as follows:

 

1. Development of the analysis

 

  1.1 PLANCONSULT demanded to the Company the existing individual records and/or information of asset or engineer control of all its equity assets, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, containing, among other, the following information:

 

    Number of the asset or of its control

 

    Account

 

    Place

 

    Purchase date

 

    Description of the asset

 

    Original purchase values, monetary adjustment and depreciation

 

    Other information

 

The information already available at the accounting and technical files of the Company were used at most in order to preserve the “memory” of the Company.

 

The register of offer prices of equipment was also requested, containing the most recently used prices and the prices effectively paid by the Company, as well as the amounts for installation and manpower of contractors.

 

  1.2 PLANCONSULT carried out, due to the short amount of time available, by a reduced sampling, a physical inspection of the assets under analysis, jointly with the Company.

 

On the places where the inspections were carried out, employees of the Company accompanied the staffs of PLANCONSULT. These people were familiar to the assets under inspection and could clarify the doubts regarding the physical inventory of the assets.

  1.3 Based on the accounting file sent by the Company, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, PLANCONSULT processed a summary of the amounts per account.

 

Based on such summary, the accounts with relevant amounts were set forth, due to the representation of the accounting values over the total adjusted value of the company and due to the operational status of the account.

 

2. Items valuated at market value

 

Market Value is considered the value that the asset would obtain in a purchase and sale transaction, within a reasonable term, not being the purchaser and the seller constrained to transact, and considering that the parties know their assets in detail.

 

PLANCONSULT bases their valuation of the Fixed Assets on the ABNT RULES. These rules impose the currently rules in force applicable to valuation, setting forth guidelines that are basic to the good valuation and basically orientate, according to two methods:

 

    Comparative method

 

The value of the asset is obtained from the comparison of market data regarding other assets of similar characteristics.

 

    Cost method

 

The value of the asset results from a summary or detailed budget or from the composition of the cost of other assets that are equal (manufacturing cost) or equivalent (replacement cost) to the object of the valuation.

 

The valuation of fixed assets, as a rule, is carried out through the method of replacement or exchange cost. In the case under analysis, the replacement or exchange cost may be summarized as the sum total of the purchase price of the fixed assets with all the implications of taxes, transport costs until the work place, with the costs of materials for installation, respective manpower, including in regard to special or regular finish, engineer, supervision, etc.

 

Information relating to recent purchase of fixed assets (goods and services), resulted from quotations and negotiations with suppliers in the Brazilian market, were obtained from the Company.

 

Researches on the useful lives of each kind of fixed assets, mainly set forth on account of their use and technological obsoleteness, were also carried out, in order to find out the effective depreciation rate to be applied to each asset.

 

The depreciation factor is the one that adjust the market value of the asset. By applying the due depreciation to the price (or cost), the market price is found out.

 

The valuation presented in this work normally fit in the “Precise Valuations” of the RULES of ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), except for the accounts and items that present a lower value (please refer to Chapter II – Methodology) and that fit in the “Expeditious Valuations”.

VI - PROCEDURES

 

The main procedures adopted in our analysis were the following:

 

1) Uniformity in the companies under consideration

 

The analysis carried out for all Companies complied with the same precepts and methodology.

 

We do not describe the meaning of each Asset and Liability Accounts (Capital Accounts) provided that the Company (and its respective Controlled Companies) has to comply with the Accounts Plan (including the content thereof) determined by the regulatory body of the telecommunications sector – ANATEL.

 

Certain Assets and Liabilities accounts may have their original accounting value set to zero, pursuant to the balance sheets delivered by the Company (and of its respective Controlled Companies).

 

The Market Value arises out of the calculation of the Present Value of each Capital Account, taking into consideration their respective aging and a discount rate equal to the capital cost of the company (based on the study carried out by Banco Goldmann Sachs, retained by the Company to render a valuation based on the Economic Value Method), duly adjusted in order to consider inflation differences between the Brazilian and North-American currencies.

 

2) Treatment of the Goodwill

 

Based on the opinion of Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, as to the interpretation of the Corporation Law (art. 264, caput and paragraph 2 of Law No. 6,404/76) in connection with the treatment of the goodwill, negative goodwill and any reserve for losses in the merger of shares, we have disregarded these items in the calculation of the net equity of the Company at market value.

 

3) Discount rate

 

In relation to the flow discount rate at Present Value of each capital account, we have adopted in this analysis the capital cost equal to 15.9407% p.a., in accordance with EXHIBIT II, considering that all amounts existing in the financial statements furnished by the Company are expressed in Brazilian currency (R$ - Reais).

V - SCOPE

 

The methodology has been applied to calculate the market value of the Actual Net Equity (ANE) of the Company, and mainly considered the assets and liabilities registered in the accounting information reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors, under the rules of IBRACON applicable to the statements on the basis date of September 30, 2005, and further, the interim balance sheets furnished by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

This methodology is applicable to determine the market value of assets and liabilities of a certain company. Its application considers as starting point the accounting values of assets and liabilities and makes adjustments to several of these items in order to reflect their respective probable realization values.

 

For that purpose, the following procedures have been carried out:

 

    Reading and analysis of interim balance sheets furnished by the Company and its controlled companies;

 

    Analysis of assets and liabilities accounts registered in the Company’s and its controlled companies’ balance sheets, aiming at identifying items that might be adjusted, as well as the calculation of their probable market value;

 

    Adjustments of accounting statements to their market value based on the result of our analysis;

 

    Adjustments of property, plant and equipment by their respective market value, based on the analysis carried out by the technical staff of PLANCONSULT with experience in evaluating fixed assets of telecommunications companies;

 

    Calculation of investments values of the Company and its subsidiaries by the equity method of accounting, based on the net equity at market of these subsidiaries;

 

    Calculation of tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the surplus and deficit resulting from such valuation;

 

    Calculation of the market value of the Company’s net equity (Exhibit I).

 

The details of the foregoing procedures and calculations are set forth in Chapter VIII of this report.

 

The methodology and scope of this report are aimed at evaluating a company in operation, therefore, except for tax costs and credits, any cost related to expenses ordinarily incurred in the realization of assets or payment of liabilities, as well as those related to bankruptcy or liquidation procedures of companies, such as terminations, costs in connection with judicial disputes, retainment of third parties (legal counsels, advisors, etc.) have not been considered in our calculations.

When existing, the total amount of goodwill and negative goodwill registered in the account for investments in controlled companies, the amount prepaid for acquisition of shares concerning the special goodwill reserve and their respective tax credits have been disregarded in the result of this valuation.

 

The ANE methodology exclusively considers the market value of tangible assets and adjusted liabilities at market, excluding, therefore, market values of intangible assets, which are registered in most of the companies in operation, and disregarding the prospective future profitability of the company.

 

Consequently, the object of our analysis was not the identification and valuation of the Company’s intangible assets, which were not accounted for in the accounting statements, or the identification and quantification of liabilities unregistered and undisclosed by the Company’s Management.

 

The Fixed Assets were valuated as follows:

 

1. Development of the analysis

 

  1.1 PLANCONSULT requested from to the Company the existing individual records and/or information of asset or engineer control of all its equity assets, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, containing, but not limited to, the following information:

 

    Number of the asset or of its control

 

    Account

 

    Place

 

    Purchase date

 

    Description of the asset

 

    Original purchase values, monetary adjustment and depreciation

 

    Other information

 

The information already available at the accounting and technical files of the Company were used at most in order to preserve the “memory” of the Company.

 

The register of offer prices of equipment was also requested, containing the most recently used prices and the prices effectively paid by the Company, as well as the amounts for installation and manpower of contractors.

 

  1.2 PLANCONSULT carried out, due to the short amount of time available, by a reduced sampling, a physical inspection of the assets under analysis, jointly with the Company.

 

On the places where the inspections were carried out, employees of the Company accompanied the staff of PLANCONSULT. These people were familiar with the assets under inspection and could clarify the doubts regarding the physical inventory of the assets.

 

  1.3 Based on the accounting file sent by the Company, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, PLANCONSULT processed a summary of the amounts per account.

 

     7    LOGO


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

Based on such summary, the accounts with relevant amounts were set forth, due to the representation of the accounting values over the total adjusted value of the company and due to the operational status of the account.

 

2. Items valuated at market value

 

Market Value is considered the value that the asset would obtain in a purchase and sale transaction, within a reasonable term, not being the purchaser and the seller constrained to transact and considering that the parties know their assets in detail.

 

PLANCONSULT bases their valuation of the Fixed Assets on the ABNT RULES. These rules impose the current rules in force applicable to valuation, setting forth guidelines that are basic to the good valuation and basically orientate, according to two methods:

 

    Comparative method

 

The value of the asset is obtained from the comparison of market data regarding other assets of similar characteristics.

 

    Cost method

 

The value of the asset results from a summary or detailed budget or from the composition of the cost of other assets that are equal (manufacturing cost) or equivalent (replacement cost) to the object of the valuation.

 

The valuation of fixed assets, as a rule, is carried out through the method of replacement or substitution cost. In the case under analysis, the replacement or substitution cost may be summarized as the sum total of the purchase price of the fixed assets with all the implications of taxes, transportation costs to the place of use, with the costs of materials for installation, respective labor, including in regard to special or regular finish, engineering, supervision, etc.

 

Information relating to recent purchase of fixed assets (goods and services), resulted from quotations and negotiations with suppliers in the Brazilian market, were obtained from the Company.

 

Researches on the useful lives of each kind of fixed assets, mainly set forth on account of their use and technological obsoleteness, were also carried out, in order to find out the effective depreciation rate to be applied to each asset.

 

The depreciation factor adjusts the market value of the asset. By applying the due depreciation to the price (or cost), the market price is found out.

 

The valuation presented in this work normally fit in the “Precise Valuations” of the RULES of ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), except for the accounts and items that present a lower value (please refer to Chapter II – Methodology) and that fit in the “Expeditious Valuations”.

VI - PROCEDURES

 

The main procedures adopted in our analysis were the following:

 

1) Uniformity in the companies under consideration

 

The analysis carried out for all Companies complied with the same precepts and methodology.

 

We do not describe the meaning of each Asset and Liability Accounts (Capital Accounts) provided that the Company (and its respective Controlled Companies) has to comply with the Accounts Plan (including the content thereof) determined by the regulatory body of the telecommunications sector – ANATEL.

 

Certain Assets and Liabilities accounts may have their original accounting value set to zero, pursuant to the balance sheets delivered by the Company (and of its respective Controlled Companies).

 

The Market Value arises out of the calculation of the Present Value of each Capital Account, taking into consideration their respective ageing and a discount rate equal to the capital cost of the company (based on the study carried out by Banco Goldman Sachs, retained by the Company to render a valuation based on the Economic Value Method), duly adjusted in order to consider inflation differences between the Brazilian and U.S. currencies.

 

2) Treatment of the Goodwill

 

Based on the opinion of Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, as to the interpretation of the Corporation Law (art. 264, caput and paragraph 2 of Law No. 6,404/76) in connection with the treatment of the goodwill, negative goodwill and any reserve for losses in the merger of shares, we have disregarded these items in the calculation of the net equity of the Company at market value.

 

3) Discount rate

 

In relation to the flow discount rate at Present Value of each capital account, we have adopted in this analysis the capital cost equal to 15.9407% p.a., in accordance with EXHIBIT II, considering that all amounts existing in the financial statements furnished by the Company are expressed in Brazilian currency (R$ - Reais).

V - SCOPE

 

The methodology has been applied to calculate the market value of the Actual Net Equity (ANE) of the Company, and mainly considered the assets and liabilities registered in the accounting information reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors, under the rules of IBRACON applicable to the statements on the basis date of September 30, 2005, and further, the interim balance sheets furnished by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

This methodology is applicable to determine the market value of assets and liabilities of a certain company. Its application considers as starting point the accounting values of assets and liabilities and makes adjustments to several of these items in order to reflect their respective probable realization values.

 

For that purpose, the following procedures have been carried out:

 

    Reading and analysis of interim balance sheets furnished by the Company and its controlled companies;

 

    Analysis of assets and liabilities accounts registered in the Company’s and its controlled companies’ balance sheets, aiming at identifying items that might be adjusted, as well as the calculation of their probable market value;

 

    Adjustments of accounting statements to their market value based on the result of our analysis;

 

    Adjustments of property, plant and equipment by their respective market value, based on the analysis carried out by the technical staff of PLANCONSULT with experience in evaluating fixed assets of telecommunications companies;

 

    Calculation of investments values of the Company and its subsidiaries by the equity method of accounting, based on the net equity at market of these subsidiaries;

 

    Calculation of tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the surplus and deficit resulting from such valuation;

 

    Calculation of the market value of the Company’s net equity (Exhibit I).

 

The details of the foregoing procedures and calculations are set forth in Chapter VIII of this report.

 

The methodology and scope of this report are aimed at evaluating a company in operation, therefore, except for tax costs and credits, any cost related to expenses ordinarily incurred in the realization of assets or payment of liabilities, as well as those related to bankruptcy or liquidation procedures of companies, such as terminations, costs in connection with judicial disputes, retainment of third parties (legal counsels, advisors, etc.) have not been considered in our calculations.

When existing, the total amount of goodwill and negative goodwill registered in the account for investments in controlled companies, the amount prepaid for acquisition of shares concerning the special goodwill reserve and their respective tax credits have been disregarded in the result of this valuation.

 

The ANE methodology exclusively considers the market value of tangible assets and adjusted liabilities at market, excluding, therefore, market values of intangible assets, which are registered in most of the companies in operation, and disregarding the prospective future profitability of the company.

 

Consequently, the object of our analysis was not the identification and valuation of the Company’s intangible assets, which were not accounted for in the accounting statements, or the identification and quantification of liabilities unregistered and undisclosed by the Company’s Management.

 

The Fixed Assets were valuated as follows:

 

1. Development of the analysis

 

  1.1 PLANCONSULT requested from the Company the existing individual records and/or information of asset or engineer control of all its equity assets, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, containing, but not limited to, the following information:

 

    Number of the asset or of its control

 

    Account

 

    Place

 

    Purchase date

 

    Description of the asset

 

    Original purchase values, monetary adjustment and depreciation

 

    Other information

 

The information already available at the accounting and technical files of the Company were used at most in order to preserve the “memory” of the Company.

 

The register of offer prices of equipment was also requested, containing the most recently used prices and the prices effectively paid by the Company, as well as the amounts for installation and manpower of contractors.

 

  1.2 PLANCONSULT carried out, due to the short amount of time available, by a reduced sampling, a physical inspection of the assets under analysis, jointly with the Company.

 

On the places where the inspections were carried out, employees of the Company accompanied the staff of PLANCONSULT. These people were familiar with the assets under inspection and could clarify the doubts regarding the physical inventory of the assets.

  1.3 Based on the accounting file sent by the Company, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, PLANCONSULT processed a summary of the amounts per account.

 

Based on such summary, the accounts with relevant amounts were set forth, due to the representation of the accounting values over the total adjusted value of the company and due to the operational status of the account.

 

2. Items valuated at market value

 

Market Value is considered the value that the asset would obtain in a purchase and sale transaction, within a reasonable term, not being the purchaser and the seller constrained to transact and considering that the parties know their assets in detail.

 

PLANCONSULT bases their valuation of the Fixed Assets on the ABNT RULES. These rules impose the current rules in force applicable to valuation, setting forth guidelines that are basic to the good valuation and basically orientate, according to two methods:

 

    Comparative method

 

The value of the asset is obtained from the comparison of market data regarding other assets of similar characteristics.

 

    Cost method

 

The value of the asset results from a summary or detailed budget or from the composition of the cost of other assets that are equal (manufacturing cost) or equivalent (replacement cost) to the object of the valuation.

 

The valuation of fixed assets, as a rule, is carried out through the method of replacement or exchange cost. In the case under analysis, the replacement or exchange cost may be summarized as the sum total of the purchase price of the fixed assets with all the implications of taxes, transportation costs to the place of use, with the costs of materials for installation, respective labor, including in regard to special or regular finish, engineer, supervision, etc.

 

Information relating to recent purchase of fixed assets (goods and services), resulting from quotations and negotiations with suppliers in the Brazilian market, were obtained from the Company.

 

Researches on the useful lives of each kind of fixed assets, mainly set forth on account of their use and technological obsoleteness, were also carried out, in order to find out the effective depreciation rate to be applied to each asset.

 

The depreciation factor adjusts the market value of the asset. By applying the due depreciation to the price (or cost), the market price is found out.

 

The valuation presented in this work normally fit in the “Precise Valuations” of the RULES of ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), except for the accounts and items that present a lower value (please refer to Chapter II – Methodology) and that fit in the “Expeditious Valuations”.

VI - PROCEDURES

 

The main procedures adopted in our analysis were the following:

 

1) Uniformity in the companies under consideration

 

The analysis carried out for all Companies complied with the same precepts and methodology.

 

We do not describe the meaning of each Asset and Liability Accounts (Capital Accounts) provided that the Company (and its respective Controlled Companies) has to comply with the Accounts Plan (including the content thereof) determined by the regulatory body of the telecommunications sector – ANATEL.

 

Certain Assets and Liabilities accounts may have their original accounting value set to zero, pursuant to the balance sheets delivered by the Company (and of its respective Controlled Companies).

 

The Market Value arises out of the calculation of the Present Value of each Capital Account, taking into consideration their respective ageing and a discount rate equal to the capital cost of the company (based on the study carried out by Banco Goldman Sachs, retained by the Company to render a valuation based on the Economic Value Method), duly adjusted in order to consider inflation differences between the Brazilian and U.S. currencies.

 

2) Treatment of the Goodwill

 

Based on the opinion of Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, as to the interpretation of the Corporation Law (art. 264, caput and paragraph 2 of Law No. 6,404/76) in connection with the treatment of the goodwill, negative goodwill and any reserve for losses in the merger of shares, we have disregarded these items in the calculation of the net equity of the Company at market value.

 

3) Discount rate

 

In relation to the flow discount rate at Present Value of each capital account, we have adopted in this analysis the capital cost equal to 15.9407% p.a., in accordance with EXHIBIT II, considering that all amounts existing in the financial statements furnished by the Company are expressed in Brazilian currency (R$ - Reais).

V - SCOPE

 

The methodology has been applied to calculate the market value of the Actual Net Equity (ANE) of the Company, and mainly considered the assets and liabilities registered in the accounting information reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors, under the rules of IBRACON applicable to the statements on the basis date of September 30, 2005, and further, the interim balance sheets furnished by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

This methodology is applicable to determine the market value of assets and liabilities of a certain company. Its application considers as starting point the accounting values of assets and liabilities and makes adjustments to several of these items in order to reflect their respective probable realization values.

 

For that purpose, the following procedures have been carried out:

 

    Reading and analysis of interim balance sheets furnished by the Company and its controlled companies;

 

    Analysis of assets and liabilities accounts registered in the Company’s and its controlled companies’ balance sheets, aiming at identifying items that might be adjusted, as well as the calculation of their probable market value;

 

    Adjustments of accounting statements to their market value based on the result of our analysis;

 

    Adjustments of property, plant and equipment by their respective market value, based on the analysis carried out by the technical staff of PLANCONSULT with experience in evaluating fixed assets of telecommunications companies;

 

    Calculation of investments values of the Company and its subsidiaries by the equity method of accounting, based on the net equity at market of these subsidiaries;

 

    Calculation of tax effects (income tax and social contribution) on the surplus and deficit resulting from such valuation;

 

    Calculation of the market value of the Company’s net equity (Exhibit I).

 

The details of the foregoing procedures and calculations are set forth in Chapter VIII of this report.

 

The methodology and scope of this report are aimed at evaluating a company in operation, therefore, except for tax costs and credits, any cost related to expenses ordinarily incurred in the realization of assets or payment of liabilities, as well as those related to bankruptcy or liquidation procedures of companies, such as terminations, costs in connection with judicial disputes, retainment of third parties (legal counsels, advisors, etc.) have not been considered in our calculations.

Table of Contents

When existing, the total amount of goodwill and negative goodwill registered in the account for investments in controlled companies, the amount prepaid for acquisition of shares concerning the special goodwill reserve and their respective tax credits have been disregarded in the result of this valuation.

 

The ANE methodology exclusively considers the market value of tangible assets and adjusted liabilities at market, excluding, therefore, market values of intangible assets, which are registered in most of the companies in operation, and disregarding the prospective future profitability of the company.

 

Consequently, the object of our analysis was not the identification and valuation of the Company’s intangible assets, which were not accounted for in the accounting statements, or the identification and quantification of liabilities unregistered and undisclosed by the Company’s Management.

 

The Fixed Assets were valuated as follows:

 

1. Development of the analysis

 

  1.1 PLANCONSULT requested from to the Company the existing individual records and/or information of asset or engineer control of all its equity assets, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, containing, but not limited to, the following information:

 

    Number of the asset or of its control

 

    Account

 

    Place

 

    Purchase date

 

    Description of the asset

 

    Original purchase values, monetary adjustment and depreciation

 

    Other information

 

The information already available at the accounting and technical files of the Company were used at most in order to preserve the “memory” of the Company.

 

The register of offer prices of equipment was also requested, containing the most recently used prices and the prices effectively paid by the Company, as well as the amounts for installation and manpower of contractors.

 

  1.2 PLANCONSULT carried out, due to the short amount of time available, by a reduced sampling, a physical inspection of the assets under analysis, jointly with the Company.

 

On the places where the inspections were carried out, employees of the Company accompanied the staff of PLANCONSULT. These people were familiar with the assets under inspection and could clarify the doubts regarding the physical inventory of the assets.

 

  1.3 Based on the accounting file sent by the Company, for the basis date of September 30, 2005, PLANCONSULT processed a summary of the amounts per account.

 

     7    LOGO


Table of Contents

LOGO

 

Based on such summary, the accounts with relevant amounts were set forth, due to the representation of the accounting values over the total adjusted value of the company and due to the operational status of the account.

 

2. Items valuated at market value

 

Market Value is considered the value that the asset would obtain in a purchase and sale transaction, within a reasonable term, not being the purchaser and the seller constrained to transact, and considering that the parties know their assets in detail.

 

PLANCONSULT bases their valuation of the Fixed Assets on the ABNT RULES. These rules impose the current rules applicable to valuation, setting forth guidelines that are basic to the good valuation and basically orientate, according to two methods:

 

    Comparative method

 

The value of the asset is obtained from the comparison of market data regarding other assets of similar characteristics.

 

    Cost method

 

The value of the asset results from a summary or detailed budget or from the composition of the cost of other assets that are equal (manufacturing cost) or equivalent (replacement cost) to the object of the valuation.

 

The valuation of fixed assets, as a rule, is carried out through the method of replacement or substitution cost. In the case under analysis, the replacement or substitution cost may be summarized as the sum total of the purchase price of the fixed assets with all the implications of taxes, transportation costs to the place of use, with the costs of materials for installation, respective labor, including in regard to special or regular finish, engineering, supervision, etc.

 

Information relating to recent purchase of fixed assets (goods and services), resulting from quotations and negotiations with suppliers in the Brazilian market, were obtained from the Company.

 

Researches on the useful lives of each kind of fixed assets, mainly set forth on account of their use and technological obsoleteness, were also carried out, in order to find out the effective depreciation rate to be applied to each asset.

 

The depreciation factor adjusts the market value of the asset. By applying the due depreciation to the price (or cost), the market price is found out.

 

The valuation presented in this work normally fit in the “Precise Valuations” of the RULES of ABNT (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas), except for the accounts and items that present a lower value (please refer to Chapter II – Methodology) and that fit in the “Expeditious Valuations”.

VI - PROCEDURES

 

The main procedures adopted in our analysis were the following:

 

1) Uniformity in the companies under consideration

 

The analysis carried out for all Companies complied with the same precepts and methodology.

 

We do not describe the meaning of each Asset and Liability Accounts (Capital Accounts) provided that the Company (and its respective Controlled Companies) has to comply with the Accounts Plan (including the content thereof) determined by the regulatory body of the telecommunications sector – ANATEL.

 

Certain Assets and Liabilities accounts may have their original accounting value set to zero, pursuant to the balance sheets delivered by the Company (and of its respective Controlled Companies).

 

The Market Value arises out of the calculation of the Present Value of each Capital Account, taking into consideration their respective ageing and a Discount Rate equal to the capital cost of the company (based on the study carried out by Banco Goldman Sachs, retained by the Company to render a valuation based on the Economic Value Method), duly adjusted in order to consider inflation differences between the Brazilian and U.S. currencies.

 

2) Treatment of the Goodwill

 

Based on the opinion of Machado, Meyer, Sendacz e Opice Advogados, as to the interpretation of the Corporation Law (art. 264, caput and paragraph 2 of Law No. 6,404/76) in connection with the treatment of the goodwill, negative goodwill and any reserve for losses in the merger of shares, we have disregarded these items in the calculation of the net equity of the Company at market value.

 

3) Discount Rate

 

In relation to the flow Discount Rate at Present Value of each capital account, we have adopted in this analysis the capital cost equal to 15.9407% p.a., in accordance with EXHIBIT II, considering that all amounts existing in the financial statements furnished by the Company are expressed in Brazilian currency (R$ - Reais).

On March 28, 2005, the Board of Directors of TCO approved the corporate restructuring of Teleacre, Telegoiás, Teleron and Telems, by merging with the Company, and Telemat, by merging with the subsidiary TCO IP S.A. (“TCO IP”). The restructuring proposals were presented to ANATEL on June 7 and 27, 2005, respectively.

 

The objective of this operation was to obtain financial and operational benefits, among others, with a reduction in administrative costs and publications, as well as rationalization of accounting procedures.

 

2. PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in Brazil and Brazilian Corporate Legislation, which include the norms applicable to public telecommunications services concessionaires and the norms and accounting procedures established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM).

The objective of the restructuring is to transfer the share control and the minority participations to TCP, through an exchange of shares. This proposal will require the approval of the shareholders of the various companies involved and, if approved, will be based on the relation of the exchange to the economic value to be established in a report issued by independent experts.

 

Consequently, the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of changes in shareholders´ equity only include the operations effected in the first nine months of 2005, which are presented without comparison to any prior period. Additionally, in view of the specific purpose of these interim financial statements, the Company is not presenting the statement of changes in financial position.

As from January 1, 2005, the goodwill paid on acquisitions by GT based on future profitability, totaling R$1,077,020, is being amortized over a ten-year period as from the acquisition date.

 

TC has investments in Telesp Celular International Ltd. and Telesp Celular Overseas Ltd., companies located abroad, for the purpose of obtaining and passing on funding through international loans. These subsidiaries are dormant.

 

On August 31, 2005, the tax benefit derived from the goodwill paid on the acquisition of TCO was transferred to that company. As a result, R$133,370 was transferred as an advance for future capital increase, since shares will be issued in favor of TCP when this benefit is realized by TCO. The remaining goodwill, amounting to R$392,265, was attributed to future profitability and is being amortized over five years.

10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

  a) Capital

 

On January 7, 2005, the Company increased its capital by R$2,053,896 with the issue of 410,779,174 thousand new shares, comprising 143,513,067 thousand common shares and 267,266,108 thousand preferred shares.

 

In the General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 1, 2005, a reverse split of 1,582,563,526,803 nominative book-entry shares, without par value, was approved comprising 552,896,931,154 common shares and 1,029,666,595,649 preferred shares, representing capital, in the proportion of 2,500 (two thousand five hundred) shares to 1 (one) share of the same type. Capital now comprises 633,025,410 nominative book-entry shares, without par value, of which 221,158,772 are common shares and 411,866,638 are preferred shares.

 

On July 29, 2005, the Company advised the shareholders of a capital increase of R$242,595,157, corresponding to the tax benefit of the merged goodwill, effectively realized during the 2004 fiscal year. The capital was increased from R$6,427,557,341 to R$6,670,152,498, with the issue of 29,298,932 new common shares, guaranteeing the right of preference as established in article 171 of Law No. 6,404/76, and establishing that funds arising from possible future exercise of the right of preference were credited to the Sociedade Portelcom Participações S.A.

Total

   662,324
    

 

  b) Interest on capital and dividends

 

The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except in the cases stipulated in articles 9 and 10 of the bylaws. They are, however, assured priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium, the right to participate in the dividend to be distributed, corresponding to a minimum of 25% of net income for the financial year, calculated in accordance with article 202 of corporate law, and priority in receiving minimum noncumulative dividends equivalent to the largest of the following values:

 

  b.1) 6% per annum on the amount resulting from dividing the paid-up capital by the total number of Company’s shares.

 

  b.2) 3% per annum on the amount resulting from division of the shareholders’ equity by the total number of Company’s shares, and also the right to participate in distributed income under equal conditions to the common shares, after the latter has been assured a dividend equal to the minimum priority dividend established for the preferred shares.

 

As from the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 27, 2004, the preferred shares are entitled to full voting rights, in accordance with article 111, paragraph 1, of Law No. 6,404/76, since the minimum dividends were not paid on the preferred shares for three consecutive years.

 

  c) Special goodwill reserve

 

This reserve represents a special goodwill reserve formed as a result of the Company’s corporate restructuring, which will be capitalized in favor of the controlling shareholder at the time of effective realization of the tax benefit.

The changes in the reserve for contingencies in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 is as follows:

 

Balance at the beginning of the year

   124,812  

New provisions, net of reversals

   2,021  

Monetary variations

   5,385  

Payments

   (15 )
    

Balance as of September 30

   132,203  
    

 

  15.1. Telebrás

 

Correspond to the original loans from Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A. - Telebrás, which, according to Appendix 2 of the Spin-off Report dated February 28, 1998, approved by the Shareholders’ General Meeting of May 1998, should be attributed to the corresponding holding company of Telegoiás Celular S.A. and Telebrasília Celular S.A.

 

As it considered that there had been a mistake in the allocation of these loans at the time of the spin-off, the Company suspended the payments and began to restate the debt in accordance with the variation of the IGP-M rate plus 6% interest per annum.

 

In June 1999, the Company filed a suit requesting a statement that the assets corresponding to these liabilities, plus accessories of these assets, are its property, also claiming compensation for the amounts paid.

 

On August 1, 2001, a decision was handed down ruling the requests made by the Company in the declaratory action to be without grounds; however, on October 8, 2001 the Company filed an appeal, which was also ruled groundless, upholding the first level court decision. The Company filed a further appeal that is awaiting judgment by the Supreme Court (STJ).

 

  15.2. Tax litigation

 

  15.2.1. Probable loss

 

No significant new tax claims classified as “probable” losses were incurred in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The changes in the provisions for tax contingencies largely correspond to the monetary restatement on the provisions during the period.

 

  15.2.2. Possible loss

 

No significant new tax claims classified as “possible” losses were incurred in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. No significant alterations occurred in the claims indicated in this report since the last financial year.

16. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

  a) Capital

 

On March 31, 2005, Company’s capital was increased by R$164,878, without the issue of new shares, by capitalizing that part of the revenue reserves that exceeded the capital as of December 31, 2004.

 

In the General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings held on March 31, 2005, a reverse split of 386,664,974,968 nominative book-entry shares, without par value, was approved; of these, 129,458,666,783 are common shares and 257,206,308,185 are preferred shares, representing capital, in the proportion of 3,000 (three thousand) shares to 1 (one) share of the same type. Capital now comprises 128,888,325 nominative book - entry shares, without par value, of which 43,152,889 are common shares and 85,735,436 are preferred shares.

 

At the same meeting, the shareholders present unanimously approved ratification of the cancellation of the 1,927,812 common nominative book-entry shares, without par value, held in treasury, without reduction of the capital, pursuant to paragraph 1 of article 30 of Law No. 6,404/76.

 

On July 29, 2005, the Company advised the shareholders of a capital increase of R$63,893, corresponding to the tax benefit of the merged goodwill, effectively realized during the 2004 fiscal year. The capital was increased from R$957,844 to R$1,021,737, with the issue of 3,107,645 new common shares, while assuring the right to preference laid down in article 171 of Law No. 6,404/76. The resources arising from the exercise of the right to preference were credited to Telesp Celular Participações S.A.

 

The capital as of September 30, 2005 comprises shares without par value, as follows:

 

    

Thousands

of shares


     09.30.05

Common shares

   44,333

Preferred shares

   85,735
    

Total

   130,068
    

 

  b) Interest on capital and dividends

 

The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except in the cases stipulated in the bylaws. They are, however, assured priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium, the right to participate in the dividend to be distributed, corresponding to a minimum of 25% of net income for the financial year, calculated in accordance with article 202 of corporate law, and priority in receiving minimum noncumulative dividends equivalent to the largest of the following values:

 

  b.1) 6% per annum on the amount resulting from dividing the subscribed capital by the total number of Company’s shares.

Table of Contents

Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A.

 

  b.2) 3% per annum on the amount resulting from division of the shareholders’ equity by the total number of Company’s shares, and also the right to participate in distributed income under equal conditions to the common shares, after the latter has been assured a dividend equal to the minimum priority dividend established for the preferred shares.

 

  c) Special goodwill reserve

 

This reserve represents the formation of a special goodwill reserve as a result of the Company’s corporate restructuring, which will be capitalized in favor of the controlling shareholder at the time of effective realization of the tax benefit.

 

  d) Revenue reserve

 

  d.1) Statutory reserve

 

The statutory reserve is calculated based on 5% of net annual income until the reserve reaches 20% of paid-up capital or 30% of capital plus capital reserves; from then on, appropriations to this reserve are no longer compulsory. The purpose of this reserve is to ensure the integrity of capital and it may only be used to offset losses or to increase capital.

 

  d.2) Special reserve for expansion

 

The special reserve for expansion and modernization is based on the capital expenditure budget prepared by management, which shows the need for funds for investment projects for the coming financial year.

 

17. INSURANCE

 

The Company has a policy of monitoring the risks inherent to their operations. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2005, the Companies had insurance policies in effect to cover third-party liability and auto. The Management of the Company considers that the amounts are sufficient to cover possible losses. The principal responsibility covered by insurance and corresponding amounts is shown below:
