Rio de Janeiro, October 22, 2009. Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (Bovespa: TNLP4 and TNLP3), Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (Bovespa: TMAR3, TMAR5 and TMAR6) and Brasil Telecom S.A. (Bovespa: BRTO3 and BRTO4) are pleased to announce their results for the third quarter of 2009. This report contains the consolidated data of Tele Norte Leste Participações and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009. To better understand the results and to offer a adequate comparison with past performance, we present the pro-forma 3Q08 consolidated figures for TNLP (Oi) and Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. (“BrTP”).

Message to our Shareholders:

During the third quarter of 2009, two additional stages in the integration process of Brasil Telecom and Oi were concluded.

At the end of July, BrTP and BrTO incorporated several intermediate holding companies and others SPCs, created to acquire Brasil Telecom, thus partially simplifying the organization’s corporate structure – BrTP incorporated Invitel, Solpar and Copart 1; and BrTO incorporated Copart 2.

On September 30, the Extraordinary General Meeting approved the incorporation of BrTP into BrTO. As a result, remaining shareholders of BrTP will have their shares converted into BrTO shares (the expectation is to occur by the end of November).

As per the integration of the operations, both companies had improvements during the quarter.

In the Engineering and Network areas, the development, planning and operations are already integrated, following the creation of the Engineering and Operations Department. In addition, a model for internal plant service by just one supplier has already been implemented in Regions I and III.

Both initiatives, combined with the consolidation of a single NOC (Network Operating Center) that brings together an integrated view and management of the new Oi’s network, aims to provide better quality for clients in terms of network availability and production of voice and data services.

From a market standpoint, sales of wireless services in Region II are already based on the portfolio available also for Regions I and III, thought totally unified. Also, a single sales and service operations model for Oi is under implementation. The main actions concerning this area are:

 

   

In the retail market, the distribution model in Region II was restructured, and now focuses on small-scale retail (newsstands, pharmacies, etc.) with exclusive distributors, ensuring greater efficiency for the channel. This action was followed by the expansion of virtual recharge (over the air) through the launch of “Oi PDV” (“Oi Points of Sale”).

 

   

In the large-scale retail channel (regional and nationwide retail networks), where products are offered through salesclerks, handsets unlocking related actions were intensified and focused on greater flow generation to shops.

 

   

As far as customer care is concerned, we are investing in the development of a specific channel to post-sales activities and regulatory commitments, the so-called “Oi Atende”, which already exists in Region I.

 

   

As the new portfolio for wireline services is launched, door-to-door sales channels are being structured in order to attract lower-income customers.

Brasil Telecom owned stores are on the way to adopting Oi’s franchise model to standardize this channel, in order to improve sales and the quality of client relationships. New franchises are also being opened to increase coverage.

 

   

In the authorized agents network, a few changes were made and the channel’s focus was redirected to post-paid plans, given that prepaid sales are being absorbed by the small-scale retail.

 

   

The channels that cater to the business market are changing, thus aiming at different and more directed client profiles. This will ensure better portfolio coverage through an increase in the number of salespeople.

 

   

In the corporate segment, nationwide coverage is being consolidated, thus ensuring leadership in this segment. Also, sales and service processes to these customers are being reviewed.

1) HIGHLIGHTS IN 3Q09:

 

   

Revenue Generating Units (RGUs) totaled 60.5 million at the end of September 2009, amounting 651 thousand new users in the quarter and more than 7.5 million customers since 3Q08.

 

   

Oi Mobile continued to be the main driver of growth, adding 886 thousand new customers in 3Q09 and 7.7 million since September 2008, mainly due to the performance in São Paulo, where Oi’s market share exceeds 10%. With almost 1.5 million mobile users, Oi Conta Total already represents 37% of the post-paid customers in region I.

 

   

Broadband internet users added 4.5 million, of whom 4.1 million are via fixed technology (ADSL + cable) and about 405 thousand are mobile (mini-modems + data plans).

 

   

Consolidated Gross Revenue amounted to R$11.6 billion, 3.7% and 3.6% above 2Q09 and 3Q08, respectively, mainly due to higher revenues in the mobile segment and data communication service. We also highlight the expansion of revenues from network usage in the quarter.

 

   

Consolidated recurring EBITDA of R$2.65 billion represents a 35.1% margin, 1.6 p.p. and 0.8 p.p. above 2Q09 and 3Q08, respectively. Even though the operation in São Paulo has yet to break even, after 11 months of its launch its additional negative impact on EBITDA was relatively low in 3Q09 (some costs were already present in 3Q08).

 

   

Consolidated net earnings of R$64 million in the quarter reverted the loss recorded in the prior quarter, even with a continued tax distortion resulting from the permanence of goodwill for the acquisition of Brasil Telecom Participações in the holding company. This will no longer exist at the start of 4Q09, when the operational company BrTO will have incorporated this goodwill.

 

   

Net debt of R$21.1 billion in September 2009 (2.1x 12-month recurring EBITDA), a reduction in the quarter even after interest on capital payments by BrTP and BrTO.

2) CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PERFORMANCE:

We hereby present the pro-forma consolidated information for 3Q08, considering the acquisition of BrTP, taken place in January 2009, for a better understanding of the results.

At the end of September 2009, the company had 60.5 million Revenue Generating Units (RGUs), 1.1% growth in the quarter and 14.2% when compared with 3Q08, once again influenced by the expansion of the mobile user base and by broadband internet access.

Wireline – Oi Fixed

The number of fixed lines in service fell quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. It is important to note that in this quarter the company cleaned up its fixed prepaid base in Region II, as well as some other fixed access connected to the old Pluri plans at Brasil Telecom.

 

10/22/2009    www.oi.com.br/ir    5


LOGO

In order to retain clients, the company offered convergent products (“Oi Conta Total”, this applies only to Region I) and alternative plans. For now. At the end of 3Q09, alternative plans reached 11,609 thousand users, or 54.1% of all fixed lines in service (52.1% in 2Q09). We started a new offer during the quarter with discounts entailing the new TV subscription service through DTH technology (Direct to the Home) for clients who have fixed lines.

FIXED Broadband – FIXED AND MOBILE

The fixed broadband user base service rose in the quarter by 76 thousand customers, ending 3Q09 with 4,142 thousand users, growing 1.9% compared with 2Q09, and 12.5% compared with 3Q08. In this item, the broadband access in region II was also impacted by the Pluri plans disconnection, mentioned before. ADSL penetration compared with lines in service in 3Q09 reached 19.1% (18.5% in 2Q09).

The addition of the broadband service (3G), an alternative to fixed broadband, tallied 78 thousand new clients in the quarter, totaling 405 thousand users at the end of 3Q09, including mini-modem and data plans.

New broadband customers totaled 154 thousand in the quarter, with approximately 50% accounting for fixed technology and the other half for mobile technology.

At the end of the quarter, the company launched a new Ultra High-Speed Fixed Broadband portfolio with Internet access that can be as fast as 100 Mb/s. This offer began in the metropolitan region of Recife and by the end of the year it will be expanded to other states in Regions I and II, where demand for this service exists.

Wireless – Oi Mobile

The wireless base ended the quarter with 34.8 million customers, accounting for 57.6% of all revenue generating units. In the last 12 months, this base grew by 7,705 thousand customers, of which 4,446 thousand are in Region III (SP), where operations began at the end of October/08, and 3,259 thousand from organic growth in regions I and II (+12.0%).

Prepaid users rose 2.4% in the quarter and 28.9% since 3Q08, mostly influenced by the “Oi Ligadores” campaign. The launch of the Oi Cartão prepaid offer in Region II in May 2009 contributed positively to the addition of 134 thousand users in the quarter. It accounted for 19.2% of net additions in Region II.

The post-paid user base grew 165 thousand in the quarter and 1,058 thousand from 3Q08, ending September 2009 with 4,185 thousand users, representing 12.0% of the total mobile users. The “Oi Conta Total” plan, with 1,448 thousand mobile customers (713 thousand plans), already amounts to 37% of the post-paid base (31% in 2Q09) in Region I, the only area where it is available.

In this quarter we started to separately report the client base in “Planos Controle”, where we included “post-paid control” and the recently-launched “prepaid control”. For the “prepaid control” plan, no bill is sent to the client on a monthly basis; the client authorizes a monthly charge in the amount of his/her plan on a credit card, which defines a recurring revenue just like a post-paid plan. “Oi Controle” sales have been improving since the launch of this new plan, and we ended the quarter with about 1.4 million clients, in a 7.7% growth since 3Q08 and 1.7% quarter-over-quarter.

3) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS:

 

3.1) Revenue:

Consolidated gross revenue ended 3Q09 at R$11,597 million, 3.7% and 3.6% above the previous quarter and 3Q08, respectively. The result in 3Q09 was influenced by an increase in wireless revenue, which grew 14.8% and 8.2% year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, respectively. In addition, in wireline we highlight the increase in annual revenue from “data services”, “additional services” and “advanced voice”. Revenue from “network usage” deserves highlight compared to the previous quarter.

Revenue from “data communication services” (which includes “broadband service”) and “wireless services” account for 40.9% of the total consolidated gross revenue in the quarter (39.9% in 2Q09).

Wireline Services:

Gross revenue from wireline services was 2.5% higher than in 2Q09. Except for revenues from public telephones, all other items grew. We highlight the increase in revenues from “network usage”, “data communication” and “long-distance services” (those originated both in fixed and mobile terminals).

Compared with 3Q08, revenue remained stable due to growth in “data revenues”, which more than offset the reduction in “local fixed” and “long distance services”, and “network usage”.

Local Service:

 

Fixed-to-Fixed

(subscription, traffic, connection fee)

   Revenues from fixed-to-fixed local service were stable compared with 2Q09. Compared with 3Q08, greater “minute packages” through alternative plans helped to partially offset the revenue reduction due to the 3.0% reduction in fixed lines in service. The 0.98% tariff readjustment did not have much influence on the results this quarter as it only started in mid-September.

Fixed-to-Mobile:

(VC1)

   Revenue for this service increased compared with the prior quarter due to the traffic volume in the period. However, when compared with 3Q08 such traffic was lower, reflecting the fixed-to-mobile substitution and a smaller number of lines in service, which impacted the revenue in 5.4%.

LOGO

Long Distance Services (LD) FF + SMP + VC2 and VC3:

Revenues from long-distance service rose compared with the previous quarter due to higher traffic. However there was a 3.1% reduction year-on-year, mainly influenced by a reduction in SMP revenues. It must be noted that similarly to Region I, in Region II the company decided not to be part of “voice portal” business, which we consider to be unattractive. Lower long-distance revenues are a direct consequence stemming from this decision.

Remuneration for Network Usage:

After deducting R$114 million from intercompany transactions, fixed network usage revenues climbed by R$41 million in 3Q09. During the second quarter, most mobile operators launched again the offer to include calls to fixed terminals as bonuses to clients. However, this was not enough to reverse the annual trend. Year-over-year, the reduction in traffic is still explaining much of the falling revenue from this service, in 16.5%.

Data Communication Services:

The highlight for data revenue was the Oi Velox ADSL service, with a positive impact of R$ 78 million compared with 2Q09 and R$297 million compared with 3Q08. In both periods, the performance was boosted by growth in the ADSL user base, which expanded 12.7% in 12 months.

Wireless Segment:

Gross revenue from wireless services rose R$194 million in the quarter and R$328 million year-over-year. The following factors influenced this result:

 

   

Growth in the average user base, as well as greater minute packages in the post-paid segment, increasing subscription revenue quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year;

 

   

Expansion of the prepaid client base quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, leading to a growth in outgoing calls revenue. The “Oi Ligadores” campaign in Region II, which started in May through the offer “Oi Cartão Total”, represented 19.2% of prepaid net additions in the quarter;

 

   

Larger average total user base, increasing consolidated revenue from mobile network usage, which totaled R$619 million in 3Q09, after a R$652 million in intercompany deduction. In addition, this item was indirectly benefited by the inclusion of calls to fixed lines in the bonuses of the mobile companies, as the clients has money left for additional calls to the other mobile companies;

 

   

Revenues from data/value added services rose 26.5% quarter-over-quarter and 62.6% year-over-year, due to a larger average customer base, which led to an increase in revenue from 3G data service subscription and SMS service (prepaid).

The average ARPU for the wireless segment (R$22.2) grew 5.7% in the quarter and fell 10.5% compared with 3Q08. The quarterly rise bears evidence to an increase in the level of recharge credit by prepaid clients, in addition to the positive contribution of 3G clients to the post-paid ARPU.

3.2) Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses in the quarter (excluding depreciation/amortization) were R$214 million and R$198 million higher than in 2Q09 and in 3Q08, respectively. Compared with 2Q09, the rise was mostly due to “other operating expenses” and “personnel”, which were partially offset by a reduction in “interconnection costs”, “provision for bad debts”, “handset costs” and “marketing.” In addition, expenses were also affected by an increase in spending on “third-party services” and in “rent and insurance” when compared with 3Q08.

It must be noted that once again, it is difficult to compare this quarter to the 3Q08 due to non-recurring expenses both periods, and by non-comparable expenses that were only partially present in 3Q08.

In 3Q09, non-recurring costs amounted to R$290 million and relate to: (i) spending on consulting for the acquisition / incorporation of Brasil Telecom, (ii) the end of the deferral of subsidies on post-paid handsets (non-cash, as detailed in the item “Handset Costs and Other – COGS”), (iii) various expenses linked to the integration of Oi and BrT, as well as (iv) expenses related to writing down bad assets handsets – also non-cash, as detailed in the item “Other Operating Expenses (Income)”.

Non-comparable costs in 3Q09, which were only partially present in 3Q08, totaled R$203 million in 3Q09, and mainly reflect the start-up of mobile operations in São Paulo. It is worth highlighting that marketing costs in São Paulo were already present in 3Q08 even, in the pre-operational stage, while other costs were deferred.

* The pro-forma consolidation was made from Invitel consolidated, the parent company of Brasil Telecom Participações.

Interconnection:

Interconnection consolidated costs fell quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, mainly because of a decrease in outgoing traffic, given the higher market share for mobile services, as well as the positive impact due to the favorable renegotiation with other companies related to interconnection expenses.

LOGO

It is also worth highlighting that this item is already benefiting from the integration with BrT, “bringing home” transactions that were previously made with other companies.

Personnel:

The increase in personnel expenses year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter reflect the administrative restructuring, a result of the integration between Oi and Brasil Telecom. In addition, the increase stems from a wage readjustment at the end of last year, and from a higher number of employees, mainly at BrT’s call center. It must be noted that the quarter-over-quarter increase was influenced by costs related to a program to encourage the retirement of employees who have worked at the company for more than 20 years.

Handset Costs and Others (COGS):

COGS was impacted by a non-cash cost stemming from the amortization of subsidies on post-paid handsets that until the end of 2008 used to be deferred. The subsidy on post-paid handsets sold in the retail segment was deferred at an average unit cost of R$300, given the possibility of charging a penalty to customers due to early cancellation or migration to a prepaid plan. This subsidy was amortized in 12 months. Currently, only post-paid handsets sold in the corporate segment follow this procedure.

However, one a quarter-over-quarter basis, the impact on the amortization of deferred assets was smaller. In addition, handset costs fell by R$30 million, mainly in region II, resulting from the replication of the Region I’s naked sim-card strategy in the prepaid segment to reduce the customer acquisition cost.

Third-Party Services:

There was a R$17 million increase in spending on third-party services in the quarter and a R$129 million rise compared with 3Q08. Quarter-over-quarter, the increase is justified by a higher commissions to stimulate sales, postage and data processing expenses, which was partially compensated by a reduction in legal counseling spending.

Compared with 3Q08, call center spending rose (Regions I and III), partially as a result of the São Paulo startup and the adaptation of services to the new call center legislation, in addition to commissions linked mainly to growth in sales of “Oi Velox” and “Oi Conta Total” and higher expenses in data processing, with renewal of software contracts.

Marketing:

Marketing spending fell by R$16 million quarter-over-quarter and R$63 million compared with 3Q08, mainly due to synergies by the acquisition of BrT.

LOGO

Provisions for Bad Debts:

Provisions for bad debts fell by 32.6% in the quarter mainly because of an improvement seen in the fixed segment in region II. The reduction was 13.6% year-over-year, due to more efficient management of billing.

The provision made in the quarter amounts to 2.2% of gross revenue, from 3.4% in 2Q09 and 2.6% in 3Q08.

Other Operating Expenses (Income):

Other operating expenses rose R$371 million quarter-on-quarter and R$107 million since 3Q08.

The change during the quarter mainly stems from: (i) provisions for legal contingencies (R$115 million), (ii) provisions for profit sharing (R$79 million), which rose due to the partial reversal seen in the previous quarter, in addition to (iii) non-recurring expenses (non-cash) of R$152 million in written down assets.

The change from 3Q08 is a result of the non-recurring expenses explained above, which were partially compensated by a reduction in provisions for legal contingencies.

TNL PCS (Oi Mobile) had a R$610 million EBITDA, a 53.1% growth compared with the previous quarter. Compared with 3Q08, growth hit R$174 million (40.0%), even including non-recurring items (non cash) of R$44 million stemming from the end of the handset subsidies deferral, which resulted from an increase in revenue from the expansion of the user base. Year to date, the end of the post-paid handsets subsidy deferral had an impact of R$195 million on EBITDA.

Net Financial Income (Expenses):

Consolidated net financial expenses amounted to R$537 million in 3Q09, or R$41 million above the previous quarter. However, it fell by R$13.1% compared with 3Q08. In the quarter, growth was mainly influenced by higher spending on monetary restatements for contingencies (+R$48 million).

Compared with 3Q08, the R$81 million reduction in net financial expenses was due to:

 

   

Smaller net foreign exchange losses as the Real rose against the U.S. dollar (8.9%) in 3Q09. It must be remembered that during 3Q08 the Real fell 20.3% against the dollar;

 

   

Reduction in revenues from financial investments due to a smaller investment volume;

 

   

Increase in interest-related expenses due to a higher average debt volume.

Depreciation/Amortization:

Depreciation and amortization had a stable performance in the quarter and rose 18.7% compared with 3Q08.

In the wireline segment, annual growth was due to the amortization/depreciation of goodwill paid in the acquisition of BrT (January 2009), which is based on a “surplus” of fixed assets and on the right to STFC concession services.

In the wireless segment, the 18.6% increase over 3Q08 reflects higher investments since 2008 related to the startup in São Paulo.

Net Earnings:

The company had net earnings of R$64 million in 3Q09, reversing the loss recorded in the previous quarter. It should be noted that after the incorporation of Copart 2 by BRTO on July 31, 2009, BRTO could have a tax benefit related to part of the goodwill (R$738 million), starting in August 2009. In 3Q09, however, the company was not able to have fiscal benefits from the remained part of the fiscal goodwill (R$8,236 million) that was still at BRTP. The total fiscal benefit related to the goodwill amortization will be possible only in 4Q09, when BRTP is incorporated by BRTO.

Compared with 3Q08, consolidated net earnings fell by R$158 million, mainly due to a lower EBITDA in the quarter affected by the non-recurring effects mentioned earlier, despite the reduction in net financial expenses.

4) DEBT AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE:

 

4.1) Debt:

Consolidated net debt fell by R$495 million in 3Q09 and ended the quarter at R$21,143 million, or 2.1x recurring EBITDA in the last 12 months. This reduction resulted from greater operating generation in the period and the tag along cash saving. Gross debt totaled R$28,552 million, in September 2009, R$1,055 million lower than the previous quarter.

Debt borrowed in foreign currencies accounted for 20.1% of total debt contracted at the end of September 2009. However, the company’s consolidated exposure to foreign currency was only 1.8% of total gross debt (US$280 million or R$497 million) due to hedging operations. We highlight that debt payments through January 2012 are covered by hedging contracts and a cash balance kept in dollars.

The average cost of debt for the third quarter of 2009 equaled 118% of the CDI interbank rate for local currency debt and USD Libor + 4.8% p.a. for debt in foreign currencies. For the quarter, the effective debt cost including hedging operations was 9.50% p.a. (109% of CDI). In the quarter, debt costs were positively affected by the appreciation of the Real against other currencies, which reduced the cost of debt still exposed to foreign exchange fluctuation. The reduction in Brazilian interest rates in 2009 also had a positive impact on lowering the debt cost, provided that much of the debt was linked to floating rates.

4.2) Capital Expenditure:

Consolidated capital expenditure totaled R$1,345 million, 43.1% higher than in the previous quarter and 25.4% lower than in 3Q08. Capex in 3Q09 accounted for 17.8% of the consolidated net revenue, of which R$620 million were earmarked to the mobile segment (46%) and R$725 million to the fixed segment (+54%). Year-to-date capex of R$3,190 million represented 14.3% of net revenue in the period.

Capex in the fixed segment was 53.3% higher than in 2Q09, mainly due to higher investment in broadband services, in the expansion of coverage and platform capacity, including the project to expand this service to municipal headquarter and public schools in all region I area.

In the wireless segment, capital expenditure rose 33.0% in the quarter, especially influenced by the expansion and improvement of the network. Compared with 3Q08, there was a reduction (29.3%) due to higher investments in that quarter directly related to the launch of operations in SP.

5) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

5.1) Acquisition of Brasil Telecom Participações – Events Taken Place in 3Q09

a) New Depositary Receipt Program for BrTO Common Shares:

On September 15, 2009, CVM approved the level 2 Depositary Receipt program for common shares issued by Brasil Telecom S.A., to be traded in the U.S. market.

The Bank of New York Mellon is the program’s depositary institution. Each ADR will account for 1 common share of the company.

The depositary institution will not accept deposits of common shares in this Program until Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. is incorporated into Brasil Telecom S.A. (second stage of the group’s corporate simplification process).

b) Second Stage of the Corporate Structure Simplification:

Brasil Telecom Participações (BrTP) approved its incorporation by its subsidiary Brasil Telecom S.A. at an Extraordinary General Meeting on September 30, 2009. (BrTO). With the aim of simplifying the corporate structure, thus aligning shareholders’ interests at both companies, the restructuring aims to optimize operation costs and enable the use of the goodwill of R$8,235.52 million. With the incorporation, the remaining shareholders from BrTP, will receive shares from BrTO. A new ADR program for BrT’s common shares was requested to SEC.

BrTP’s shareholders will receive BrTO shares following the ratio below:

 

Substitution

    

1 BRTP3 (ON) receives

   1.2190981 BRTO3 (ON)

1 BRTP4 (PN) receives

   0.1720066 BRTO3 (ON)
   0.9096173 BRTO4 (PN)

Following this incorporation, 201,143,307 common shares and 209,155,151 preferred shares of BrTO were issued, extending the same rights to outstanding common and preferred shares issued by BrTO.

As a result, BrTO’s new capital is now composed as follows:

5.2) Tariff Readjustment

On September 14, 2009, new tariffs for long-distance and local services (subscription and traffic) became effective, as approved by Anatel.

The readjustment for the services basket, of 0.98% for Telemar Norte Leste S.A. and Brasil Telecom S.A., considers a 5.07% variation for the Telecommunication Services Index (IST) from May 2008 through June 2009, as well as an average tariff deflator for 2008 and 2009 of 3.90% (X-Factor).

5.4) DTH Launch

After the launch in the State of Rio de Janeiro (July 15, 2009), the TV subscription services via DTH (“Oi-TV”) was expanded to the states of Minas Gerais (August 31, 2009) and Rio Grande do Sul (July 10, 2009), which now offer just one service.

In the launch offers, the main 26-channel package has a promotional price of R$29.90 for one year. After the first month, the price rises to R$49.90, with a R$10 discount for “Oi Fixo” clients.

Oi has been developing its strategy to distribute audiovisual content as one of the main pillars of its business positioning. The company’s goal is to consolidate itself as a supplier of communication, information and entertainment services, combining all of its clients’ telecommunications demands in just one organization, with ease and at an affordable cost.

Oi expects to expand the service to the whole country gradually. Within one year, Oi TV is expected to be offered in the rest of Brazil.

 

5.5) Launch of the Ultra High-Speed Fixed Broadband portfolio

On October 9, 2009, Oi announced the launch of Oi Velox Ultra, a new Ultra High-Speed Fixed Broadband portfolio, with Internet access that can be as fast as 100 Mbps. Oi Velox Ultra at 14, 20, 40, 60 and 100 Mbps starts at R$109.90 for residential customers, adding to the services offered by the company, currently limited to 8 Mbps.

The launch began in the metropolitan region of Recife and by the end of the year it will be expanded to other states in Regions I and II, where demand for this service exists. The new speeds for Oi Velox Ultra will be on the corporate and retail markets. For this launch, the company invested in its network infrastructure to increase capacity using ADSL2+, VDSL2 and optical fiber.

 

5.6) Law 11,638/2007 – Related to the Writing and Disclosure of Financial Statements

On December 28, 2007, Law 11,638/07 was put into effect to add new provisions and modify the Corporate Law 6,404/1976. This law set a number of alterations to accounting practices and financial statements preparation, aiming to align them with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Therefore, it attributed to the CVM the power to issue accounting norms and procedures for joint stock companies.
