Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim accounting information of Vivo Participações S.A. and subsidiary, contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which comprise the balance sheet and the related statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the quarter then ended, including the notes thereto.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim accounting information in accordance with CPC Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim Statement and for the consolidated interim accounting information in accordance with CPC 21 and with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of this information consistently with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM) regulations applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International standards on review of interim information (NBC TR 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of the interim information consists of inquiries, mainly of officials in charge of the financial and accounting areas, and of the application of analytical procedures and other review procedures. A review is significantly less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards and, as a consequence, did not allow us to obtain assurance that we became aware of all significant matters which might be found in an audit. Accordingly, we did not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on individual interim information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which makes us believe that the individual interim accounting information included in the aforesaid quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM) regulations.

Conclusion on consolidated interim information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which makes us believe that the consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforesaid quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM) regulations.

Other matters

Interim statement of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim statement of value added (SVA) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the presentation of which in the interim information is required by Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM) regulations applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and deemed to be supplementary information by the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, which do not require the presentation of the SVA. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, we are not aware of any fact which makes us believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with individual and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

Total deferred taxes in non-current assets 5,205   26,689              1,653,103   1,789,718

The deferred taxes were recorded assuming their future realization, as follows:

a)   Tax loss carry-forward and negative tax base: represent the amount recorded, which, pursuant to the Brazilian legislation, may be offset up to the limit of 30% of the taxable income computed in the coming fiscal years and subject to no statute of limitations. The Company did not record the potential deferred income and social contribution taxes credit that would arise from the use of the tax bases in the amount of R$693,227 at March 31, 2011 (R$692,887 at December 31, 2010), given the uncertainty, at this time, as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable results to ensure realization of these deferred taxes.

Below we present tax credit amounts from tax loss carry-forwards recognized and not recorded by the Company and consolidated.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, no material change has occurred in the Company’s and the subsidiary’s business which might indicate the need to book a provision for losses of the referred tax credits.

  Company   Consolidated
  Income tax   Social Contribution   Total   Income tax   Social Contribution   Total
                       
Income and social contribution taxes loss carryforwards on 12.31.10        2,027,153          2,067,765       4,495,358   4,481,686    
   Tax credit (25% + 9%)           506,788             186,099   692,887   1,123,840   403,351   1,527,191
   Tax credit, recognized                     -                       -     -     617,052   217,252   834,304

   Tax credit (25% + 9%)           506,660             186,567   693,227   1,053,869   378,676   1,432,545
   Tax credit, recognized                     -                       -   -     547,209   192,109   739,318
   Tax credit, non recognized           506,660             186,567   693,227   506,660   186,567   693,227

b) Tax credit acquired: represented by the tax benefit deriving from the tax goodwill deductibility generated in the corporate reorganization process. Realization occurs proportionally to the amortization, for tax purpose, of the goodwill in tax books, in a period from 5 to 10 years. Studies performed by independent consultants during the corporate reorganization process support the recovery of such amounts within the above referred timeframe. Said reorganization did not generate an accounting goodwill.

c) Tax credits on temporary differences: their realization will occur upon payment of the provisions, effective loss on bad debts or realization of inventories, as well as reversal of other provisions.  

The Company and its subsidiary prepared technical feasibility studies, approved by the Board of Directors, which indicated the full recovery of deferred tax amounts recognized at March 31, 2011.

There were no significant changes in assumptions used to indicate the need for further study on March 31, 2011. A new study will be prepared and approved until the end of fiscal 2011.

a.1.1.) Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social - BNDES

FINEM – Business Financing – Agreement 1  - (UMBND and URTJPL)

In June 2004, the Company entered into a credit facility with BNDES in the amount of R$110,370.  The funds borrowed were used to finance the expansion of the mobile service infrastructure in the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. The Company received the funding gradually and there was no remaining amount available under this credit facility on March 31, 2011. This agreement has a term of seven years, with repayment of principal in 60 consecutive monthly installments commencing July 15, 2006, after a grace period of two years.

FINEM – Business Financing – Agreement 2 - (UMBND)

In August 2007 the Company entered into a credit facility with BNDES in the amount of R$1,530,459. The funds borrowed were used to finance investment projects in order to expand coverage and increase network capacity throughout the country. The Company received the funding gradually and there was no remaining amount available under this credit facility on March 31, 2011. This agreement has a term of seven years, with repayment of principal in 60 consecutive monthly installments commencing September 15, 2009, after a grace period of two years.

Investment Maintenance Program – PSI

In January 2010, a credit facility with BNDES was approved under the Investment Maintenance Program (BNDES-PSI). The funds borrowed are being used to finance the purchase of domestic equipment for improvement of network capacity under a previously signed equipment financing with BNDES (Finame), and released as investments are made. The Company raised R$184,489 under this credit facility until March 31, 2011 (R$171,673 until December 31, 2010).

Since the interest rate on this credit facility is lower than the rates prevailing in the market (fixed 4.5% to 5.5% per year), this transaction falls within the scope of IAS 20/CPC 7. Accordingly, using the effective interest method set forth in IAS 39/CPC 38, considerations made are as follows: comparison between i) the total debt amount calculated based on contractual rates; and ii) the total debt amount calculated based on market rates (fair value). The government grant from BNDES, adjusted to present value, was R$35,916 at March 31, 2011 (R$33,939 as of December 31, 2010). This amount was recorded as “Government Grant”, and is being amortized over the useful life of the financed equipment against “Other operating income (expenses), net”.

a.1.2) European Investment Bank (EIB)

Single Agreement

The Company executed an agreement with EIB for a credit facility in the amount of EUR250 million (equivalent to US$365 million). The funding was received in two portions: the first on December 19, 2007 and the second on February 28, 2008. The agreement has a term of seven years, with repayment of principal in two installments falling on December 19, 2014 and March 2, 2015. Interest on this financing is paid semiannually according to the date of credit release. This financing is secured with a swap agreement that converts the foreign exchange risk into a percentage of CDI (Interbank deposit rate) variation.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company and its subsidiary are engaged in transactions involving financial instruments (swaps), aiming at minimizing the foreign exchange exposure. The risks are actively managed through a set of initiatives, procedures and risk protection policies.

The financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiary are presented in compliance with IAS 39/CPC 38.

The Company and its subsidiary have evaluated their financial assets and liabilities against market values, using the available information and proper valuation methodologies. However, the interpretation of market data and the selection of valuation methods require considerable judgment and estimates in order to calculate the most adequate realizable value. In consequence, the estimates presented do not necessarily indicate the amounts realizable in the current market. The use of different market assumptions and/or methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated realization values.

a) Considerations of risk factors which may affect the Company’s and its subsidiary’s business

The Company and its subsidiary are exposed to several market risks, due to their business activity, debts contracted to finance their operations and the derivative financial instruments to manage its various financial instruments risks.

The main market risks to which the Company and its subsidiary are exposed in the conduct of their activities are:

a.1) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company and its subsidiary do not have sufficient funds to meet their commitments according to the different currencies and terms of execution/settlement of their rights and obligations.

The Company and its subsidiary structure the maturity dates of the non-derivative financial agreements, as shown in note 17, and of their respective derivatives as shown in the payments schedule disclosed in the referred note, in such manner as not to affect its liquidity.

The management of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s liquidity and cash flow is monitored daily by Management, in such way as to ensure that the operating cash generation and the available credit facilities, as necessary, are sufficient to meet their schedule of commitments, not generating liquidity risks to the Company and its subsidiary.

a.2) Credit Risk

The credit risk arises out of the eventual difficulty to collect the amounts payable by its customers for services rendered to them and of sales of handsets and pre-activated pre-paid cards to the distributors network. The Company and its subsidiary are also subject to the credit risk related to their financial investments, accounts receivable for swap transactions and the receipt of bank guarantees.

The credit risk involved in the rendering of telecommunications services is minimized by a strict control of the customer base and active management of customers’ default, by means of clear policies regarding the sale of post-paid plans. The customer base of the Company and its subsidiary has, predominantly, a prepaid system, which requires the prior charging and consequently entails no credit risk. At March 31, 2011, in the post-paid plans, the Company estimates based on its historical data that the credit risk is represented by the amount of R$210,506 (R$212,923 at December 31, 2010), recognized as provision for impairment.

The credit risk in the sale of handsets and “pre-activated” prepaid cards is managed under a conservative credit policy, by means of modern management methods, including the application of “credit scoring” techniques, analysis of financial statements and information, and consultation to commercial data bases, in addition to request of guarantees. At March 31, 2011, the credit risk in connection with the sales of goods is represented by the amount of R$7,665 (R$9,007 at December 31, 2010), recognized as a provision for impairment.

In relation to the credit risk in connection with the financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiary act in such a manner as to diversify this exposure among various world-class financial institutions, by controlling calculations of risk limits per financial institution, as per the credit policy currently adopted by the counterparties.

Risk with financial institutions is mainly represented by financial investments amounting to R$1,959,411, offset by R$2,360,030 of swaps and loans payable.

a.3) Interest Rate and Inflation Risk

The interest rate risk arises out of the portion of the debt referenced to the CDI – (Bank Deposit Certificates) rate and of the liability positions in derivatives (exchange hedge and IPCA - Consumer Price Index) contracted at floating rates, which may have a negative effect on the financial expenses in case of an unfavorable change in the interest rates.

The debt to the BNDES is indexed to the TJLP rate (long-term interest rate).

The inflation rate risk arises out of the debentures of Telemig (company merged at June 1, 2010), indexed to the IPCA, which may negatively affect the financial expenses in case of an unfavorable change in such index.

In order to reduce the exposure to the local variable interest rate (CDI), the Company and its subsidiary invested the cash surplus of R$1,959,411, mainly, in short term financial investments indexed to the CDI rate.

a.4) Exchange Rate Risk

This risk arises out of the possibility of losses on account of exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase the liabilities and expenses arising out of loans and foreign currency purchase commitments or that reduce assets deriving from receivables in foreign currencies.

The Company and its subsidiary contracted derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange hedge) to hedge against the exchange variation deriving from foreign currency-denominated loans. As of May 2010, hedge transactions were contracted through derivative financial instruments, in order to minimize the risk of exchange variation of its financial assets and liabilities referring to the foreign currency-denominated rights and obligations. This balance suffers daily changes due to the dynamics of businesses; however, the Company plans to cover the net balance of these rights and obligations.

The table below summarizes the consolidated net exposure of the Company to the exchange rate factor at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

  Consolidated
  03.31.11   12.31.10

Total excess (insuffcient) coverage                (449)                   100                  (496)                       1                       -

(*) UMBNDES is a monetary unit prepared by the BNDES, made up of a foreign currencies basket, the main currency being the US Dollar, for which reason the Company and its subsidiary consider it upon reviewing the risk coverage related to the USD exchange rate fluctuations.

In addition to the amounts informed above, Vivo recorded liabilities in foreign currency referring to other obligations with its suppliers for which no hedge financial instrument was contracted (US$32,925 thousand and €11,961 thousand). At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary had hedge financial instruments for all their foreign currency liabilities referring to the other obligations with their suppliers.

b) Fair value

We present below the book and fair values of the financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

   Debentures      1,278,876        1,278,876        1,278,876        1,278,876        1,447,072        1,443,306        1,447,072        1,443,306

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included in the value by which the instrument could be exchanged in current transactions between parties willing to negotiate, and not in a forced sale or settlement. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:

• Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable to suppliers and other current liabilities approximate their corresponding book value mostly due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

• The fair value of negotiable instruments and bonds is based on the price quotes as of the date of the quarterly financial statements. The fair value of non-negotiable instruments, bank loans, debentures and other financial debts, as well as other non-current financial liabilities, is estimated through the future discounted cash flows using the rates currently available for similar and remaining debts or maturities.

• The Company and its subsidiary contract derivative financial instruments with financial institutions rated as investment grade. The derivatives evaluated pursuant to valuation techniques with data that can be observed on the market mainly relating to interest rate swap and inflation and exchange agreements. The frequently used valuation techniques include pricing models for futures and swap agreements, with calculations at present value.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company and its subsidiary use the following hierarchy in order to calculate and disclose the fair value of financial instruments through the valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted prices (without adjustments) on the active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: other techniques to which all data with material effect on the fair value recorded are directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3: techniques using data with relevant effect on the fair value recorded which are not based on data that can be observed on the market.

Below, a comparison by type of book value, fair value of financial instruments and hierarchy level of the Company and its subsidiary reported in the financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011.

  Company   Consolidated
  Book value   Fair value   Fair Value
Hierarchy - Level 2
  Book value   Fair value   Fair Value
Hierarchy - Level 2
Loans and financing    -     -     -   603,680   603,680   603,680

(*) Derivative instruments, net of income tax provision.

During the first quarter 2011, no transfers occurred between the evaluations of fair value of level 1 and level 2 and no transfers occurred in the evaluations of fair value of level 3 and level 2. The Company and its subsidiary do not have any financial instrument with level 3 valuation.

c) Transactions with Derivatives

The Company and subsidiary entered into swap contracts in foreign currency at several exchange rates, in notional amounts at March 31, 2011 of US$397,968 thousand and EUR11,316 thousand (US$367,822 thousand, and JP1,338,853 thousand, at December 31, 2010) to cover their net liabilities in foreign currency.

At October 15, 2009, a swap was contracted, which was indexed to the IPCA as for assets, and to the CDI, as for liabilities, in the notional amount of R$72,000, in order to cover the exposure of the flows of the 3rd series of the 4th issue of debentures to the variation of the IPCA rate. Upon being contracted, this swap was recognized as a fair value hedge.

Since the transaction date, the Company and subsidiary have been applying the concepts provided for in IAS 32/CPC 40, IAS 39/CPC 38 and IFRS 7/CPC 39, which require that such instruments are stated in the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes to the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in the statement of income, unless the Company is able to prove compliance with specific criteria such as hedge accounting.

The derivative financial instruments intended for hedging and the respective items subject to the hedge are adjusted monthly to the fair value. For derivatives classified as fair value hedges and evaluated as effective, the valuation (or devaluation) of the fair value of the hedged instrument and of the item subject matter of hedge must be recorded as a counter-entry to the proper revenue or expense account in the income statement.

The Company and subsidiary calculate the effectiveness of fair value hedges on a continuous basis (at least quarterly) and, at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the contracted hedges were effective in relation to the debts being covered. In conformity with the fair value hedge rules, as long as the Company has the option of qualifying these derivative contracts as hedge accounting, the covered debt is also adjusted to its fair value.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company and subsidiary had not maintained any embedded derivative agreements.

d) Risk Management Policy

All contracting of derivative financial instruments of the Company and of the subsidiary is intended for protection against foreign exchange risk and inflation arising out of financial debts, rights and foreign currency-denominated liabilities, pursuant to a corporate policy of risk management. Accordingly, eventual variations in the risk factors generate an inverse effect on the subject matter they are intended to protect. Therefore, there are no derivative financial instruments for speculation purposes and 100.0% of the financial exchange liabilities are hedged.

The Company and subsidiary keep internal controls in relation to their derivative instruments which, in the opinion of the Management, are adequate for controlling risks associated with each strategy of market action. The results obtained by the Company and its subsidiary in relation to their derivative financial instruments show that the Management has properly managed risks.

e) Fair Values of the Derivative Financial Instruments

The valuation method used for calculating the fair value of the loans, debentures and derivatives was the discounted cash flow which considered the expectancy of settlement or receipt of liabilities and assets at the market rates prevailing at March 31, 2011.

The fair values are calculated by projecting the future flows of the transactions, using the BM&F Bovespa curves and bringing them to present value using market DI rates for swaps disclosed by BM&F Bovespa.

The market values of the exchange coupon swaps x CDI were obtained using the market exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2011 and the rates projected by the market which were obtained from the currency coupon curves. For calculating the coupon of the positions indexed in foreign currency the linear convention of 360 calendar days was adopted and for calculating the positions indexed to the CDI the exponential convention of 252 business days was adopted.

The financial instruments disclosed below are recorded with the CETIP, all of them being classified as swaps, not requiring a margin deposit.

Sensitivity analysis on the risk variables of the Company and its subsidiary

As provided for in IAS 32/CPC 40, IAS 39/CPC 38 and IFRS 7/CPC 39, the Company shall disclose a sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk deemed by the Management to be material, to which the entity is exposed at the closing date of each period, including all transactions with derivative financial instruments.

In compliance with the provisions above, each of the transactions with financial derivatives was evaluated considering a probable realization scenario and two scenarios which may generate adverse results to the Company and subsidiary.

In the probable scenario, the premise of realizing what the market has been signalizing in the future market curves (currency and interest) of the BM&F Bovespa was considered. Thus, in the probable scenario, there is no impact on the fair value of the financial instruments already presented above. For the adverse scenarios, deterioration of 25% and 50%, respectively, was considered in the risk variables until the maturity date of the financial instruments.
 
As the Company and its subsidiary have only derivative instruments for hedging their financial debt and foreign currency-denominated liabilities, changes in the value of derivatives in scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedge objects, thus showing that the effects thereof are almost nil. At March 31, 2011, for these transactions, the Company stated the balance of the subject matter of purpose of the hedge (foreign currency-denominated liabilities and rights) and of the derivative financial instrument in separate lines of the sensitivity analysis table, in order to inform on the net exposure of the Company, in each of the three mentioned scenarios, as shown below:

(1) DB = Defined Benefit Plan;
(1) Hybrid =Benefit plan that provides benefits structured as both defined benefit and defined contribution. Only the assets and liabilities relating to the portions of these defined benefit plans will be presented in the reconciliations.

The Company and its subsidiary, together with other companies belonging to the former Telebrás System, sponsor private pension plans and medical assistance plans for retired employees under the same conditions as published for the last fiscal year, as follows: i) PBS-A; ii) PAMA; iii) PBS- Telesp Celular, PBS-TCO, PBS Tele Sudeste Celular and PBS Tele Leste Celular;  iv) TCP Prev and TCO Prev Plans; and v) Visão Celular Benefit Plans - Celular CRT, Telerj Celular, Telest Celular, Telebahia Celular and Telergipe Celular.

The PBS-A and PAMA plans are managed by Fundação SISTEL de Seguridade Social – SISTEL.

The subsidiary sponsors the Vivo-Prev plan, which is an individual plan of defined contribution, managed by Visão Prev. Vivo’s contributions to this plan are equal to the participants’ contributions, varying from 0% to 8% of the participation wage, as a function of the percentage chosen by the participant.

The public civil actions filed by the Association of SISTEL Members (ASTEL) in the State of São Paulo against SISTEL, Vivo and others, aiming the annulment of the spin-off of PBS pension plan in 2000 and corresponding allocation of the funds deriving from technical surplus and tax contingency existing at the time of the spin-off. The risk attributed to this lawsuit by the Company’s legal counsels is deemed to be possible. The amount is inestimable and is subject to expert examination, as it involves the assets spun-off from SISTEL referring to the telecommunication operators of the former Telebrás system.

Vivo Participações individually sponsors a defined retirement benefit plan - Plano PBS Telemig. Besides the benefit of supplementation, medical assistance (PAMA) is provided to retired employees and to their dependents, at shared cost.

Vivo Participações also sponsors the CelPrev plan. Three types of contributions may be made by the participant, namely: (a) basic regular contribution: variable percentage from 0% to 2% of his/her participation wage; (b) additional regular contribution: variable percentage from 0% to 6% of the portion of his/her participation wage that exceeds 10 Standard Reference Units of the Plan; and (c) voluntary contribution: percentage to be freely chosen by the participant and applied to his/her participation wage. Four types of contributions may be made by the sponsor, namely: (a) basic regular contribution: contribution equal to the participant’s basic regular contribution, after deduction of the contribution for defraying the cost of the sickness allowance benefit and the contribution for defraying administrative expenses; (b) additional regular contribution: equal to the participant’s additional regular contribution, deducted by the administrative expense; (c) eventual contribution: voluntary contribution, at such frequency as may be determined by the sponsor; and (d) special contribution: contribution exclusively intended to those sponsor’s employees who are not members of the PBS plan and who were admitted to the plan within 90 days after the effective date of the CelPrev.

All revenues and expenses related to the defined benefit plans and hybrid benefit plants, such as employer’s contributions, current service costs, interest cost and expected return on the assets of the plans are directly recorded in the Company’s and Vivo’s operating income.

Actuarial gains and losses referring to the defined benefit plans and hybrid benefit plans, in addition to the limitations on superavit recovery by means of refund or reductions in future contributions, are being immediately recorded as other comprehensive income, not generating any impact whatsoever on the Company’s and Vivo’s operating income.

Actuarial provisions relating to the plans mentioned above are recorded in "Provisions" (note 18).

The latest actuarial evaluation of the retirement benefit plans sponsored or co-sponsored by the Company and its subsidiary was carried out for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

35. EARNINGS PER SHARE

In compliance with IAS 33/CPC 41, the Company presents below the earnings per share information for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

The basic earnings per share calculation is made by dividing the net income for the year, attributed to the holders of Company's common and preferred shares, by the weighted average number of outstanding common and preferred shares during the same period.

The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributed to the holders of Company’s common and preferred shares by the weighted average amount of common and preferred shares, respectively, which would be issued in the conversion of all potential diluted common and preferred shares in their corresponding shares.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there is no difference between the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share due to the non-existence of potential diluted common and/or preferred shares.

The chart below shows the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share.
