VIVO PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three-Month Period ended March 31, 2007

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated)

 

1. OPERATIONS

Vivo Participações S/A ("Company"), (current style of Telesp Celular Participações S/A) is a publicly traded corporation, which on March 31, 2007 had as controlling shareholders Brasilcel N.V. and its subsidiaries Portelcom Participações S/A, Sudestecel Participações Ltda., Avista Participações Ltda., TBS Celular Participações Ltda. and Tagilo Participações Ltda., which jointly, excluding treasury shares, hold 62.95% of the Company's total capital.

Brasilcel N.V. is jointly controlled by Telefónica Móviles S/A (50% of total capital), by PT Móveis Serviços de Telecomunicações SGPS S/A (49.999% of total capital) and by Portugal Telecom SGPS S/A (0.001% of total capital).

On February 22, 2006 the General Shareholders Meeting approved the incorporation of the shares of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S/A ("TCO") to be converted into a fully held subsidiary of Vivo Participações S/A and the incorporation of the following companies: Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S/A ("TSD"),Tele Leste Celular Participações S/A ("TLE") and Celular "CRT" Participações S/A (""CRT"Part") into the Company, as described in Notice of Meaningful Event dated December 4, 2005.

The results of the incorporated companies for the period January 1 through February 22, 2006 were reflected in the Company's results as foreseen in the incorporation protocol.

Auction of share fractions

On April 19 and 24, 2006 auctions were held on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange – BOVESPA to place again in the "Free Float" market 641,766 shares (310,366 common shares under code VIVO3 and 331,400 preferential shares under code VIVO4), corresponding to the fractions obtained in the exchange of shares of Tele Sudeste Celular Participações S/A, Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S/A, Tele Leste Celular Participações S/A and Celular "CRT" Participações S/A for shares of Vivo Participações S/A, resulting from the corporate restructuring approved by the Special General Shareholders Meeting of February 22, 2006. The amounts resulting from that sale are at the disposal of the holders of these share fractions at any branch of the Banco ABN Amro Real S/A, the depositary of the book-entry shares of Vivo Participações S/A.

Corporate restructuring

In the Special General Shareholders Meeting held on October 31, 2006, the incorporation was approved by the wholly owned subsidiary Global Telecom S/A of the other wholly owned subsidiaries of Vivo Participações S/A, namely Telergipe Celular S/A, Telebahia Celular S/A, Telerj Celular S/A, Telest Celular S/A, Celular "CRT" S/A, Telesp Celular S/A and Tele Centro Oeste Celular ParticipaçõesS/A, as well as of the latter's subsidiaries Telegoias Celular S/A, Telemat Celular S/A, Telems Celular S/A, Teleron Celular S/A, Teleacre Celular S/A and Norte Brasil Telecom S/A.

The implementation of the Corporate Restructuring was meant to simplify the corporate and operational structure, by means of unifying the general business administration of the operating companies, which were concentrated in a single operating company controlled by the Company, optimizing synergies between the companies involved, in continuation of the process that was initiated by the corporate restructuring approved by the special shareholders meetings held on February 22, 2006. Similarly, and simultaneously with the Corporate Restructuring, the style of Global Telecom S/A was changed into Vivo S/A ("Vivo").

The incorporation of the subsidiaries had the prior approval of the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), on July 25, 2006, in act Nr. 59867, published in the Federal Official Gazette on July 27, 2006.

By virtue of the fact that the Corporate Restructuring did not directly involve Vivo Participações S/A, being restricted to its subsidiaries, the company's capital and equity as well as its shareholding structure and the rights derived from the shares it issued did not suffer any change.

The wholly owned subsidiary Vivo S/A exploits mobile cellular telephone services, including activities necessary or useful for the execution of such services, in accordance with authorizations that were granted, according to the operational areas described below:

The deferred taxes were set up assuming future profits as follows:

a) Fiscal loss and negative tax base: to be compensated up to 30% of tax bases calculated in subsequent years.

b) Incorporated fiscal credit: represented by the net goodwill balance and the provision for maintaining the integrity of the net equity (note 27). Its conversion occurs proportionately to the amortization of the goodwill in its subsidiary, over a period of 5 to 10 years. Studies by outside consultants used in the corporate restructuring process support the recovery of the value within this period.

c) Temporary differences: compensation will occur upon payment of the provisions, upon actual loss with doubtful accounts or upon sale of inventory.

On December 31, 2006 the Company made technical feasibility studies, approved by its Board, which indicated the recovery in full of allocated deferred tax amounts, as defined by CVM instruction Nr. 371.

Remuneration of Debentures is due to be renegotiated on May 1, 2009 (first series) and on May 1, 2010 (second series).

15.1 Fiscal processes

15.1.1 Probable loss

No new significant fiscal processes were initiated in the quarter ending March 31, 2007, classifiable as "probable loss". The evolution in the allowance for fiscal contingencies is mostly due to monetary variation during the period.

15.1.2 Possible Loss

No new significant fiscal processes were initiated in the quarter ending March 31, 2007, classifiable as "possible loss". No significant changes occurred in the processes here reported since last fiscal year.

15.2 Civil processes

a) Consumers

The Company has several law-suits initiated by individual consumers or civil associations representing consumer rights, claiming non-performance of services or products sold by the Company. Individually none of these law-suits is considered relevant.

On March 31, 2007, based on the opinion of outside lawyers, we have recorded R$ 142,370, an amount considered adequate to meet potential losses in these processes.

On the same date, the amounts involved in this kind of processes classified as "possible" were R$ 281,295

b) ANATEL

The Company has several legal and administrative processes initiated by ANATEL referring to non-compliance with the rulings concerning the Personal Mobile Service (SMP), amounting to R$ 12,622, a sum considered sufficient to face probable losses in these cases.

c) Others

These refer to law-suits of a different type, all related to the normal course of business. On March 31, 2007, based on the opinion of outside lawyers, we recorded R$ 38,468, an amount considered adequate to meet probable losses in these cases.

The increase during quarter ended March 31, 2007 was mainly due to contract discussions with a supplier.

On the same date, amounts involved in this type of processes, classified as "possible" were R$ 62,424.

15.3 Labor suits

Several labor demands are included, respective provision was recorded and as shown before is considered sufficient to meet probable losses in these cases.

No new, significant labor demands were initiated in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 with a loss classification corresponding to "probable". No significant changes occurred in the reported cases since last fiscal year.

Concerning demands where the possibility of loss is classified as "possible", the amount involved is R$94,471.

1,442,118

b) Dividends and Interest on Shareholders Equity

The preferential shares are not entitled to vote, except as foreseen in articles 9 and 10 of the By-laws, but have priority in the reimbursement of capital, without any premium, and the right to participate in the dividend to be distributed with at least 25% of the period's net profit, calculated in accordance with article 202 of the Law on Corporations, with priority in receiving minimum, non-cumulative dividends, equivalent to the greater of:.

b.1) 6% (six percent) per year over the amount resulting from the division of subscribed capital by the total number of the Company's shares, or:

b.2) 3% (three percent) per year over the amount resulting from the division of the net equity by the total number of shares of the Company, with the right to participate in the profits shared on equal terms as the common shares, after the latter having been assured a dividend equal to the minimum priority dividend established for the preferential shares.

As of the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting of March 27, 2004, the preferential shares have acquired full voting rights, due to the fact that for three consecutive years no minimum dividends were paid, in accordance with Article 111, paragraph 1 of Law nr. 6404/76.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT ( CONSOLIDATED)

a) Considerations about risks

The main market risks that the Company and its subsidiary are exposed to are:

Credit risk: deriving from possible difficulties in collecting the amounts of telecommunication services rendered to its clients and of the sales of handsets to its distributor network, as well as the risk related to cash investments and amounts receivable from swap transactions.

Interest rate risk: deriving from a portion of the debt and from the passive positions in derivatives contracted at floating rates, and involving the risk of an increase in financial expenses due to an unfavorable movement of interest rates (mainly LIBOR, TJLP and CDI).

Exchange rate risk: the possibility that Company and its subsidiary may incur losses on account of exchange rate fluctuations, that may increase the liability balances of foreign currency loans and financing.

The Company and its subsidiary adopt an active attitude concerning the management of the various risks to which they are exposed, by means of a set of comprehensive initiatives, procedures and operating policies, which tend to mitigate the risks inherent to their activities.

Credit Risk

The credit risk related to the rendering of telecommunication services is minimized by a strict control of the client base and active management of payment defaults, by means of clear policies regarding the sale of post-paid telephones. As of March 31, 2007, the subsidiary had 81% of its client base on a pre-paid system, which requires the prior loading and consequently entails no credit risk.

The credit risk in the sale of handsets is controlled by a conservative credit policy, by means of modern management methods, including the application of "credit scoring" techniques, analysis of financial statements and information, and checking commercial data bases, as well as the automatic control of sales clearance integrated with the distribution module of SAP's ERP software.

The company and its subsidiary are also subject to credit risk originating from its cash investments and amounts receivable from swap transactions. The Company and its subsidiary proceed in a manner so as to diversify this exposure among various first class financial institutions.

Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiary are exposed to the risk of a rise in interest rates, specially those associated with the cost of the interbank deposit certificates (CDI), by virtue of the passive part of transactions with derivatives (exchange hedge) and by loans denominated in Reais. As a way to minimize this exposure, the Company contracted swap transactions in Reais, from CDI to fixed interest rates, in a total reference value of R$ 871 million. The balance of cash investment, indexed to the CDI, also neutralizes this effect partially.

 Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiary are also exposed to the risk of fluctuation of the TJLP, in function of the loans contracted with the BNDES. These transactions amounted to a principal of R$ 135,415 as of March, 2007 (R$ 163,795 as of December 31, 2006). The Company and its subsidiary have no transactions with derivatives contracted to cover the TJLP risk.

The loans contracted in foreign currencies also entail the risk of a raise in the interest rate (LIBOR) on which these foreign loans are based. These transactions totaled a principal of US$ 232,480 thousand as of March 31, 2007 (US$ 232,480 thousand as of December 31, 2006).

Of the total volume of loans and financing tied to floating foreign interest rates (LIBOR), US$ 232,480 thousand as of March 31, 2007 (US$ 232,480 thousand as of December 2006) (principal) are protected against fluctuation in interest rates (LIBOR) by means of derivatives (interest rate swap).

Exchange rate risk

The Company and its subsidiary have contracted financial transactions with derivatives so as to protect themselves from exchange rate fluctuations affecting their loans and other liabilities in foreign currencies. The tools generally used are swap and forward contracts.

The table below summarizes the net exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries to the exchange rate factor as of March 31, 2007:

b) Market value of financial instruments

The market value of the loans and financing, as well as of the swaps, was established on the basis of discounted cash flow, utilizing available projections of interest rates.

The market values are calculated at a specific moment based on available information and own evaluation methodology. Consequently, the indicated estimates do not necessarily represent liquidation values at market. Utilization of different assumptions may significantly affect the estimates.

 

26. POST-EMPLOY BENEFIT PLANS

The Company and its subsidiary, together with other companies belonging to the former Telebras System, sponsor private pension plans and medical assistance plans to retired employees, managed by the Sistel Social Security Foundation - SISTEL, as follows:

a) PBS-A: multi-sponsored defined benefit plan, directed at the participants already assisted as of January 31, 2000.

b) PBS-Telesp Celular, PBS-TCO, PBS Tele Sudeste and PBS Tele Leste Celular: defined retirement benefit plans sponsored individually by the Company.

The contributions to the PBS plans are determined on the basis of actuarial studies prepared by independent actuaries, in accordance with norms in force in Brazil. The cost determination system is that of capitalization and the contribution due by sponsors is 13.5% over their participating employees' salaries, of which 12% are destined to the costing of the PBS plans and 1.5% to the PAMA plan. In the quarter ended March 31, 2007, contributions to these plans amounted to R$4.

c) PAMA: multi-sponsored medical assistance plan for retired employees and their dependents, at shared cost.

d) TCP Prev and TCO Prev Plans: Individual plans with defined, respectively variable contribution, instituted by SISTEL in August 2,000. In both plans the Company runs the risk of participants' death or invalidity, while in the TCO Prev plan some participants originating from the PBS-TCO plan have a right to lifelong retirement benefits (paid-up benefit), besides the benefits of defined contribution. The contributions of the Company to the TCP Prev and TCO Prev are equal to those of participants, varying between 1% and 8% of the participation salary, according to percentage chosen by participant. During quarter ended on March 31, 2007, contributions to these plans amounted to R$ 2,102.

In civil suit nr. 04/081.668-0, brought by ASTEL against the SISTEL Social Security Foundation, in which besides SISTEL also Telefonica and Telesp Celular are summoned, various demands are made, which we summarize as follows: i) that Sistel be prohibited to charge retired employees and other participants any contributions to PAMA - Medical Assistance Plan for Pensioners, the same being responsible only for a "modest participation in effected utilizations", this participation to be limited to 1% of the assisted person's monthly income; ii) that SISTEL enroll again in PAMA, without any restrictions, the pensioners and assisted persons who had their enrolment suspended due to non-payment, as well as those who did not stand the pressure and requested cancellation of their enrolment in PAMA or adhered to PCE (Special Coverage Plan), if they wish, also without any restriction; iii) that SISTEL reassess the economic needs of PAMA, including the amounts of sponsors' (Telefonica's and Telesp Celular's) monthly contributions; iv) that sponsors' contributions be calculated on the basis of the payroll of all their employees, as per previous statutory ruling, and not on the basis of the percentage on the payroll of active participants in PBS; v) that Sistel re-establish the accreditation of all hospitals, clinics and laboratories that were canceled; vi) that a review be carried out of the distribution of equity in the books, so as to attribute to PAMA the amounts corresponding to the reducing factor of the supplementary contributions, as expounded above, while Sistel is prohibited, as long as this review is not carried out, to effect any splitting of the net equity of the PBS-A plan or any other plan managed by this entity; vii) that Sistel and sponsors replace the "transfer of equity of the main substrate meant to guarantee PBS-2 and PAMA, illegally transferred to Plans Visão Telesp and Visão Prev of Telesp Celular"; viii) granting of advance relief in relation to items "i", "ii" and "v".

The subsidiary through its actuarial consultancy made a study of the impact of the above, which concluded that the costing, in the format demanded by ASTEL's suit, would represent an aggravation in subsidiary's provisions in the amount of R$1,266.

Based on their legal advisers' and tax consultants' opinion, the management believes that there is, at this moment, no risk this has to be paid, and as of March 31, 2007 the likelihood of loss is classified as "possible".

e) Benefit Plan Visão Celular-"CRT", Tele Sudeste and Tele Leste: a defined contribution individual plan, instituted by Sistel in August, 2000. Company's contributions to the Visão Celular plan is equal to those of participants, varying between 0% and 9% over participation salary, according to participant's choice. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, contributions to these plans amounted to R$ 1,559.

 f) Defined benefit plan: "CRT" sponsored private defined benefit pension plans (founding member benefit plan and alternative benefit plan), which were managed by the Foundation of Employees of Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações - FCRT.

On December 21, 2001, "CRT" and Brasil Telecom S/A, sponsors of FCRT, signed a documentary agreement with a view to completely sever any link between the sponsors, by the withdrawal of "CRT" as a sponsor, with the guarantee that this withdrawal be effected strictly within applicable legislation and respecting participants' rights, which was approved by the Supplementary Pension Department on December 30, 2003.

In spite of the fact that existing legislation permits that contributions of sponsors and participants be discontinued, "CRT" continued paying its contributions between January 2002 and December 2003 in order to safeguard and preserve participants' rights, until "CRT"'s actual withdrawal from FCRT.

For the actuarial evaluation of the plans, the methodology for withdrawal of sponsor, established by Resolution MPAS CPC nr. 06/88, was used.

Reserves were individually evaluated on the basis of the methodology imposed by said Resolution for each category (assisted persons and pensioners, imminent active risks and non-imminent active risks).

As of October 2004, "CRT" has been passing on to Sistel, as agreed with FCRT, the amount foreseen as savings reserve of the active employees of "CRT" who opted to migrate from FCRT's Alternative / Founding Member Plans to the Visão Plan, totaling on March 31, 2007 the sum of R$ 9,515. As of March 31, 2007, of provision made under liabilities in the amount of R$ 15,297 (R$ 14,847 as of December 31, 2006), R$ 3,245 refer to Withdrawal Reserve of participants with a signed Statement of Intention to Migrate to BrTPrev, and who are awaiting their retirement request to be processed by INSS.

 

27. CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING

The goodwill paid when the Company became a private company and when its subsidiaries were acquired, were transferred by the acquiring companies to the acquired companies.

Prior to these transfers, provisions were made for the maintenance of subsidiary's net equity, and consequently, the net assets incorporated represent essentially the tax advantage resulting from the deductibility of the goodwill incorporated.

The bookkeeping records maintained for corporate and fiscal purposes of the Company and its subsidiary have specific accounts related to the incorporated goodwill and provisions and respective amortization, reversion and tax credit, the balances of which are:

Data revenue increase by 21.4% in relation to 4Q06 and by 28% in relation to 1Q06. 

Service revenue grew 15.4%, increasing the total net revenue in 10.6% in relation to 1Q06, recording R$ 2,850.8 million in the quarter. In relation to 4Q06, the total net revenue reduced by of 2.9%, especially due to the decrease in the handsets revenues and seasonality between the periods under comparison. By eliminating the effects of the partial Bill&Keep in the 1Q07 and 4Q06, net service revenue would record a reduction of only 0.7% between the two quarters and would remain stable between 1Q07 and 1Q06.

The increase of 3.6% in “subscription and usage revenue”, when compared to 1Q06, is mainly due to the increase in the total outgoing revenue, which was impacted by the growth in the total outgoing traffic, by the incentive to usage and promotions and, especially, by the launching of the “Vivo Escolha” (Vivo Selection) plans in October. Also contributed to such growth the 20.5% increase in the volume of recharges in 1Q07 over 1Q06. When compared to 4Q06, there was  2.5% reduction in the subscription and usage revenue, as result of seasonality.

The WAP (Internet access) revenue increased by 19.8% in the comparison with 4Q06 and by 45.3% over the previous year, with potential growth due to the increase in the number of data-enabled handsets. Data revenue plus SVA’s accounted for 8.2% of the service revenue, 1.6 percentile points higher than in 4Q06 and 0.7 percentile point higher than in 1Q06. An increase of 21.4% was recorded in the comparison between 1Q07 and 4Q06, and of 28.0% in the comparison with 1Q06. More than 120,000 complete songs are monthly sold; Vivo’s digital song shop is the largest selling virtual music store in Brazil; Vivo Localiza Família (Vivo’s Family Locating Plan): more than 10,000 customers.

                                                 OPERATING EXPENSES

Strict control over manageable costs, leading to a more efficient, productive and competitive structure.

The growth of 11.6% in Human Resources  in 1Q07 over 1Q06 is due to the adjustment provided for in the Collective Union Agreement in November 2006 and to severance payments arising out of a reduction in the labor count.
The reduction of 6.0% in Human Resources in 1Q07 over 4Q06 is due to the provision for payment of the Expense Reduction Prize, in December 2006, and to the fact that adjustments referring to provisions for vacation pay and thirteenth wage are concentrated in 4Q06.

 

 By eliminating the effects of termination of the B&K program, the services costs would record a 9.9% reduction in relation to 1Q06

The increase of 65.1% in the cost of services rendered in 1Q07, when compared to 1Q06, is due to the 814.8% increase in interconnection costs arising out of the termination of the partial Bill&Keep system. Such increase is partially offset by a reduction in connection expenses, Fistel fee and other contributions, in addition to a reduction in losses arising out of roaming. When compared to 4Q06, the reduction was 2.3%, due to the reduction in interconnection costs and in losses arising out of roaming. By eliminating the effects of the partial Bill & Keep system, the cost of services in 1Q07 would record a reduction of 0.9% in relation to 4Q06 and of 1.6% in relation to 1Q06.

 

 

The cost of goods sold decreased by 18.7% and by 13.6% in relation to 1Q06 and 4Q06, respectively, not affecting the commercial performance, keeping the sustainable growth, activation rationalization and improvement in the mix and cost of handsets sold, which was due to better negotiation with suppliers and the appreciation of the Real against the US Dollar, in additional to the launching of GSM handsets.

 

In 1Q07, selling expenses were reduced by 12.9% in relation to 1Q06, as a result of the reduction in expenses with provisions for bad debt and third-party expenses, especially sales commissions and marketing. When compared to 4Q06, the 8.4% reduction reflects all the actions implemented for controlling expenses, affected by an increase in the provision for bad debt.

 

We have continued to place our focus on the sustainable reduction of fraud and cloning as a result of specific projects, such as authentication of networks and terminals, which is already present in 100% of the digital network.  

The Provision for Bad Debt – PDD in 1Q07 was of R$ 107.4 million, representing 2.7% of the total gross revenue, a 33.3% reduction in relation to the same period of the previous year, which was R$ 161.0 million, representing 4.5% of the gross revenue. This result evidences the strict control exercised over new customers and on accounts receivable. When compared to 4Q06, which recorded the best result in the last two years, the PDD had an increase of 0.9 percentile points on the total gross revenue.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by 21.2% in 1Q07 in relation to 1Q06, due to the increase in expenses with third-party services, especially plant maintenance and technology transfer, partially offset by a reduction in expenses with regular services due to efficiency gains as a result of  the conclusion of the systemic (TI and SI) platforms unification project. When compared to 4Q06, it recorded a reduction of 2.2%, having remained almost stable due to seasonality between the periods.

 

Other Operating Revenue / Expenses recorded an expense of R$ 76.6 million. When compared to 1Q06, the variation is mainly due to an increase in expenses with the provision for contingencies, a reduction in the revenue from fines, offset by the increase in revenue referring to commercial incentives. The variation between 1Q07 and 4Q06 arises out of the reversal of the provision for PIS and COFINS (rate increased by Law 9718/98) in the amount of R$ 126 million, given that the judgment of the actions filed by Telesp Celular S/A (succeeded by Vivo S.A.) and Telesp Celular Participações S/A (former name of Vivo Participações S.A.) became final and non-appeallable in 4Q06.

                                               DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 3.5% in relation to 1Q06 especially due to the reduction in the depreciation of network equipment and the increase of 1.9%, when compared to 4Q06, which figures are in line with the company’s activity in the referred periods.

Constant reduction in financial expenses between the periods.

 

VIVO’s net financial expense in 1Q07 was reduced both in the comparison between 1Q07 and 1Q06 (by R$ 67.5 million) and in the comparison with 4Q06 (by R$ 27.9 million). Such reduction was due to the reduction in the net debt generated cash flow and financial liabilities restructuring, as well as the decrease in the interest rates in the period (4.04% in 1Q06, 3.12% in 4Q06 and 3.03% in 1Q07).

 

Loss of R$ 19.3 million in the quarter against loss of R$ 179.3 in 1Q06.

Reduction in net debt by 26.0%. Confirmation of S&P Rating.

 

On March 31, 2007, VIVO’s debts related to loans and financing amounted to R$ 4,057.2 million (R$ 4,500.4 million on December 31, 2006), 55% of which is denominated in foreign currency. The Company has signed exchange rate hedging contracts thus protecting 100% of its financial debt against foreign exchange volatility, so that the final cost (debt and swap) is Reais-referenced. This debt was offset by the Company’s available cash and financial investments (R$ 1,241.6 million) and by derivative assets and liabilities (R$ 489.5 million payable) resulting in a net debt of R$ 3,305.1 million,  7% low in relation to December 2006.

The 26.0% reduction in VIVO’s gross debt in relation to 1Q06, amounting to R$ 1,425.4 million, is mainly due to the financial flexibility and rationality, as a result of the corporate restructuring, which made possible the prepayment of debts contracted through the use of cash from  companies with greater availability of funds.

Short term liquidity and debt turned to long term.

Debt decrease in 1Q07 in relation to 4Q06 was mainly due to the fact that the debt service cost has been more than offset by the increased operating cash flow. Additionally, the TFF (Fistel Fee) payable every year in March was paid on the first business day of April. Part of the short term debt was turned into a long-term debt, the short-term debt representing 32% of the total debt.

                                                Capital Expenditures (CAPEX)

We have already invested about 69% of total Capex in the GSM overlay.

Capex in the quarter, among others, was due to performing the required activities for the GSM/EDGE overlay. As a result, investments made in 1Q07 reached R$ 235.4 million, representing 8.3% of net revenue. Investments are mainly related to quality maintenance and coverage expansion.
