ACQUISITION OF THE BRASIL TELECOM GROUP: SUMMARY OF THE OPERATION

On January 8, 2009, TELEMAR NORTE LESTE S.A. (“TMAR”) acquired, through its subsidiary COPART 1 PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (“COPART 1”), the shareholding control of BrT PART and BRT, indirectly becoming owner of 81,092,986 ordinary shares issued by BrT PART, which is equivalent to 61.2% of the voting capital.

The required investment for the acquisition was R$ 5,371,098,527.04 (five billion, three hundred and seventy-one million, ninety-eight thousand, five hundred and twenty-seven reais and four centavos), which represents the amount of R$ 77.04 (seventy-seven reais and four centavos) per share, in connection with an agreed upon price of R$ 5,863,495,791.40 (five billion, eight hundred and sixty-three million, four hundred and ninety-five thousand, seven hundred and ninety-one reais and forty centavos) updated for the daily average variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) less the net debt of R$ 998,053,465.69 (nine hundred and ninety-eight million, fifty-three thousand, four hundred and sixty-five reais and sixty-nine centavos) of INVITEL S.A. (“INVITEL”), which entity was subsequently merged into COPART 1, and finally adjusted for the stated revenues between January 1st, 2009 and the closing date.

The acquisition of BRT and its subsequent integration into TMAR`s operations, will give rise to a telecommunications company with 100% national shareholder control, present throughout the Brazilian territory and with the managerial, operational and financial capacity to expand its operations, including on an international basis.

As described in the Material Fact “Change of Shareholder Control”, published on January 8, 2009, the following steps will be followed, namely:

 

 

  1. Conclusion of Mandatory Public Offerings for the Acquisition of Shares;

 

  2. Corporate reorganization of the companies involved in the operation;

 

  3. Approval, introduction or registration of various regulatory bodies;

 

  4. Creation of one or more American Depositary Receipt programs by TMAR.

4. APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY

ASSETS APPROACH - NET EQUITY AT MARKET PRICES

This methodology is derived from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), where financial statements are prepared based on the principle of historic or acquisition cost.

Due to this principle and to the fundamental principle of accounting, the book value of the assets of a company less the book value of its liabilities equals the book value of its net equity.

The application of this methodology contemplates, as a starting point, the book values of assets and liabilities and requires that some of these items be adjusted so as to reflect their probable realization values. The result from the application of this method may provide an initial basis for the estimate of the company’s value, as well as a useful basis of comparison with results from other methodologies.

On the other hand, the basic principles of economics allow us to create the following appraisal technique: the value defined for assets less the value defined for liabilities equals the value defined for a company’s net equity. From an appraisal perspective, the relevant value definitions are those appropriate to the purpose of the appraisal.

The assets approach, therefore, aims at appraising a company by adjusting of the book value (net balance) to respective fair market values. The assets and liabilities deemed relevant are appraised for their fair market value, with a comparison made between this value and its book value (net balance).

The general appraisal criteria applicable to the adjustment of assets subject to being appraised at market prices can be found in detail in Chapter 6 of this report.

After being duly analyzed, these adjustments are added to the book Net Equity value, in this way determining the company’s market value through the assets approach. The company’s fair market value is the Net Equity value after giving effect to the adjustments for the assets and liabilities appraised.

5. PROFILING OF THE BRASIL TELECOM GROUP

Brasil Telecom Participações S.A. is a publicly-held holding company, whose shares are traded on the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA) under the ticker symbol BRTP3 and BRTP4 and on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BRP. The corporate structure of the Brasil Telecom Group can be found in the Executive Summary of this report.

In Brazil, Brasil Telecom provides telephony services to millions of Brazilians who live in the so-called Region II, comprising the states of Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Goiás, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to the Federal District.

With its headquarters in Brasília (Federal District) and approximately 20 thousand employees on its staff, its client base comprises 8.1 million fixed terminals in operation, over 5.6 million mobile subscribers, 282 thousand public-use terminals and 1.8 million ADSL subscribers (broadband).

The company, the first to offer a full line of services in the telecommunications field in Brazil, caters to all market demands in an integrated manner and combines its fixed and mobile operations, data and voice, domestic and international long-distance calls, data center, free internet access, broadband and dial-up access into convergent solutions for home, business and government.

Brasil Telecom has provided local fixed telephony services in the Federal District and in the states of Acre, Rondônia, Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul since 1998. In July 1999, it started providing Code CSP 14 for long-distance calls and in January, 2004, Code CSP 14 started operating nationally and for international calls. In addition, the company also provides high-speed internet connection services with Turbo, which uses ADSL technology so that individuals and companies may have quick access to the internet without occupying their telephone line, and offers 100% broadband content through the BrTurbo and BrTurbo Company providers. Additionally, the company offers mobile access to the wireless network with BrTurbo ASAS. For dial-up internet access, Brasil Telecom offers iBest, the second largest cost-free provider in the Brazilian market.

In 2004, the company was authorized by Anatel to provide Personal Mobile Services (PMS) in Region II and launched public mobile telephony operations with an aggressive business plan geared towards convergence, in addition to innovative offers which enabled the attainment of a 14.4% market share in a little less than four years of operations. In 2007, the Internet access providers (iG, iBest and BrTurbo) which make up the Internet Group, the Internet unit of Brasil

Telecom, had nearly 1.4 million broadband customers and over 4 million dial-up customers. These figures make this internet portal the third most widely used in the nation, with over 11.2 million unique home visitors per month, according to the measurement method of domiciles that access the internet during the period.

iG Brasil’s operations are based on the provision of both dial-up and broadband internet access. It also provides value-added services geared towards the residential and entrepreneurial markets, including its Internet connection accelerator. In addition to these services, iG Brasil also sells advertizing space in its portal.

Through Brasil Telecom Cabos Submarinos (“Globenet”), the company owns 22 thousand kilometers of submarine cables interconnecting Brazil with Venezuela, Bermuda and North America, with points of presence in Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Caracas, Miami, New York and Bermuda. This network has strengthened the group’s leadership position within the data communications market.

The company’s subsidiary Brasil Telecom Comunicação Multimídia operates in, among other areas, the three most important cities in the country outside the company’s concession area: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, with a focus on the corporate and entrepreneurial markets. Both companies offer complete solutions of national and international scope, including the Cyber Data Center.

In order to further strengthen its position as a leading telecommunications provider, Brasil Telecom has acquired the entire optical fiber submarine cable system from the Globenet group, interconnecting connection points in the United States, Bermuda, Brazil and Venezuela. With the acquisition of MetroRED, a provider of private telecommunications network services through digital optical fiber networks, Brasil Telecom started providing access to Brazil’s major corporate clients in large urban centers, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, in addition to Porto Alegre, Curitiba and Brasília, and other international urban centers.

Vant is a division of the company, whose purpose is to provide multimedia communication services, acquisition and for-consideration assignment of facilities and other means, operating in major Brazilian capitals as its area of operations. This subsidiary was also acquired for the purpose of expanding solutions to the corporate market throughout Brazil.

Brasil Telecom has expanded its operations by investing in Brasil Telecom Call Center S.A. (“BrT Call Center”), previously named Santa Bárbara dos Pinhais S.A. This company provides call center services to third parties, composed of customer service, active and passive telemarketing, as well as training, and support and advisory services and activities, among others. Its operational activities started in November 2007 with the provision of call center services to Brasil

APSIS CONSULTORIA   15
REPORT RJ-0278/09-02  


Table of Contents

Telecom S.A. and its subsidiary companies, which require this type of service. Call center services were previously provided by outsourced parties.

To provide managerial, supervisory and advisory services for the development and sale of financial products and services, the company incorporated, in July 2008, BrT Card Serviços Financeiros Ltda. Its capital stock subscription took place on September 17, 2008, with 99.99% interest belonging to the Company. BrTI is holder of the remaining interest. At year-end, BrT Card held only marketable securities, originating from resources obtained in the capital subscription, and had not started its operational activities.

This diversified portfolio has contributed towards the company being able to maintain a large client base, with such distinctive needs as those of residential subscribers and corporate clients.

This challenging scenario has required the company to react in order to maintain the innovation of its offerings. Brasil Telecom was pioneer in the launching of products, such as: IPTV (transmission of pay per view films, using its broadband network as a platform); “Único” (cell phone service which transmits signals through the fixed network was used in the home environment, reducing utilization costs for the subscriber); and “Pula-Pula” (free minutes provided on the basis of the volume of Traffic received).

LOGO

In 2008, Brasil Telecom continued launching innovative services, such as third-generation mobile telephony services and minute conversion packs for fixed and cell phones. The search for innovation is important in an increasingly competitive market, such competition which was fostered by the start of number portability in the entire country.

FIXED TELEPHONY

In 2008, there was an increase in competition with regards to fixed telephony services, whether from cable television companies or from other fixed telephony companies, or from mobile telephone operators which positioned themselves in the market with alternative plans and solutions to traditional fixed telephony services.

During the year, penetration of fixed telephony continued to decrease as a consequence of the fixed to mobile migration phenomenon. In addition, the year was marked by an increase in competition due to number portability.

Within this competitive environment, Brasil Telecom has focused its main actions on the maintenance and profitability of its terminal base, as well as on the expansion of service and alternative plan offers.

At the end of 2008, Brasil Telecom was providing nearly 4 million lines with local alternative plans for fixed telephony. The Company has been keeping its leadership rank in the long-distance market and has recorded an average market share of 90% in the intra-sector segment and 85.2% in the inter-sector segment. At the end of 2008, Brasil Telecom had a 65.7% market share in the inter-region segment and 40.4% in the international segment.

Among long-distance plans, we can highlight: “14 Simples”, with 30-minutes included for domestic long-distance calls; “14 Meu Perfil”, with special rates for in-state calls; and “14 Minhas Cidades”, with more economical rates for three cities of the customer’s choice.

MOBILE TELEPHONY

In 2008, Brasil Telecom Móvel completed four years of operations and surpassed the mark of 5.6 thousand subscribers, 919 of whom being postpaid and 4,626 prepaid subscribers. The Company has been increasing its revenues in this segment by creating functionalities through internet services and content, such as: Orkut, Glu (games), Som Livre (music) and Discovery. Partnerships have also been entered into with content companies, such as: Dada.net, Blinko, Spin My Mobile, Flycell, Ligaki, Memo, Sony Pictures, Neo Network and Móbile Streams, in addition to the provision of the “Escritório Móvel” e-mail pack by way of the Nokia Intellisynk solution. Several special offers and actions on services and contents which are already available to customers have been realized.

DATA COMMUNICATION

At the end of the year, Brasil Telecom accomplished 1,806 thousand accesses in the broadband segment (ADSL).

Convergent Products

Responding to the requirements of a vast number of consumers, Brasil Telecom has invested in the development of solutions which combine fixed and mobile voice services, broadband and image. Thus, the company entered into a commercial relationship with SKY cable TV, which has enabled the offer of integrated packages including digital cable TV.

Telefone Único - Employs CTP (Cordless Telephony Profile) technology, which enables voice services for fixed and mobile telephony to be used on the same cell phone. With this product, Brasil Telecom has patronized its fixed telephony client base, increased its mobile telephony market share, offered new value-added services, fostered the sale of postpaid plans and heightened the efficiency of its fixed and cellular networks.

Cartão Único - Through the purchase of credits (R$ 15, R$ 20, R$ 30 and R$ 60), this card enables customers to recharge all prepaid services, fixed terminals (AICE, Controle Total and Ligmix) and mobile terminals of Brasil Telecom.

Unique Virtual PBX - Unique Virtual PBX is a convergent solution to cater to business necessities. With this solution, customers no longer have purchase, operation or maintenance costs relative to PBX equipment, as all such infrastructure remains at Brasil Telecom. Therefore, the Company has become the first operator to converge fixed and mobile telephones as extension lines.

Quadruple Play: SKY Cable TV Partnership- In this commercial relationship with SKY Cable TV, Brasil Telecom offers packages comprising fixed and mobile telephony, broadband and Digital TV subscription services. This offer has established itself during 2007 as a competitive advantage in view of other Triple Play offers from competitors. The package contributes approximately 10% of the total broadband sales of Brasil Telecom.

Internet Providers

The Internet Group, which comprises the operations of iG, iBest and BrTurbo providers, is the largest Internet access provider in Brazil with 4 million cost-free dial-up access users, and the second largest broadband provider in the Brazilian market.

According to the Ibope/NetRatings of December 2007, the Internet Group ranked in third place among the main national competitors, with over 11.2 million unique home visitors, which represents an annual growth of 43%.

Financial Highlights

Within its consolidated financial results, Brasil Telecom closed 2008 with net income of R$ 11,297 million and EBITDA of R$ 3,937 million, which represented an EBITDA margin of 34.8%, compared to 34.2% in 2007.

Net profit assessed was R$ 782 million, 16.2% higher than the prior year’s, influenced by the consistency in the evolution of cost and revenue lines and from significant growth in broadband and mobile telephony.

7. APPRAISAL OF THE NET EQUITY AT MARKET PRICE OF BRT AND BRT PART

The operational activities of the Brasil Telecom Group start with the company Brasil Telecom S.A. (BrT). Parent companies in the corporate chain (BrT Part), perform simple holding company functions. This report adopted the assets approach for the appraisal of the Net Equity at market price of BrT. In this approach, relevant assets and liabilities were appraised so as to reflect their fair market value, according to the criteria detailed in Chapter 6.

RELEVANT ASSETS

BrT is a company which serves a dual function within the structure of the Brasil Telecom Group: (i) as a holding company of the group’s operating investments; and (ii) as an operational company, with operations in the fixed telephony segment, and therefore, owner of operating assets alike.

Therefore, to arrive at the value of the Net Equity at market prices of BrT, it will be necessary for us to proceed to the appraisal of its relevant operating assets, and also of relevant investments in other companies of the group.

FIXED ASSETS

Property that integrates the fixed assets relating to equipment accounts are of the utmost relevance among the set of BrT’s assets. Land and buildings are assets of secondary importance within the telephony segment. Appraisal of these assets can be found in Attachment 2 hereof and in specific reports for the main real estate, and is summarized on the following table:

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In the appraisal of the intangible assets of BrT, the methodology chosen was the income approach, recommended when an industry owns relevant contracts which guarantee long-term profitability (Valuation of Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets – Smith, Parr). The following relevant category of intangible operating assets can be considered significant in fixed telephony operation companies, such as BrT:

 

   

Public Service Concession Contract - Fixed Telephony

As to the brand value, each business segment has intangible assets with greater or lesser influence in the operation. In the case of fixed telephony, the brand does not have relevant influence in cash generation, but rather the guarantee of service exclusivity for the inhabitants of a particular region, including the assignment of the client base existent at the time the service was privatized.

For appraising the Concession Contract, we analyzed the cash flow of the fixed telephony business during the remaining useful life of the concession (17 years), on a stand-alone basis, contemplating potential synergies resulting from the acquisition process described in this report.

We also added the residual value of fixed assets and working capital at the end of the concession.

After calculating the present value of this flow through a discount rate appropriate for the segment, we deducted tangible operating assets (working capital and fixed assets) at market prices, so as to draw out the intrinsic value of the Concession Contract, as shown on the table below:

APPRAISAL OF INVESTMENTS IN MOBILE TELEPHONY

Investments in the mobile telephony segment are represented by their direct participation in the company 14 BRASIL TELECOM CELULAR S.A. (14 BRASIL), which concentrates the operating assets of this segment.

The main adjustments in 14 BRASIL are centered on the following groups:

FIXED ASSETS

The table below summarizes the adjustments made, specified in Attachment 2:

Total

   1,421
    

The average remaining economic useful life of the fixed assets of 14 BRASIL is 10 years. Disclosure per class of assets can be found in Attachment 2.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In mobile telephony operating companies, such as 14 BRASIL, authorizations granted by the Federal Government do not guarantee a market share in the potential market, or an initial client base, such as with fixed telephony. For the purpose of this report, we assumed that the value paid to the Federal Government by 14 BRASIL with regards to authorizations in a bidding process, constitutes the best approximation of the respective market value, therefore not requiring adjustment.

Nevertheless, we shall consider the following category of intangible assets relevant within the mobile telephony segment, not included in the financial statements:

APPRAISAL OF MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT

The technical procedures used in this Report are in accordance with the criteria set forth by Appraisal Standards NBR 14653-1:2001 and NBR 14653-2:2004 of ABNT – Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, and appraisal calculations for assessing values were devised based on the direct market data comparative method and the replacement cost method.

Based on prior experiences, APSIS developed a method for assessing values based on comparative elements drawn out of appraised operational systems.

Set forth below are the references used in the performance of our work and the criteria used for the main items of the appraisal:

REFERENCES

 

a) Equity Control of fixed assets, supplied by BrT for all the group’s companies;

 

b) Quotations for the relevant equipment in each functional class;

 

c) Analysis of BrT’s new operational projects for the purpose of harmonizing concepts and premises (APSIS Engineering and BrT Engineering);

 

d) Data supplied by managers of several central offices during technical visitations; and

 

e) Appraisal of specific features of each facility.

METHODOLOGY

The method used consists of arriving at the value of new, equal or similar machinery and/or equipment through market research conducted with manufacturers, suppliers and/or representatives, in addition to, as the case may be, assembly, installation and transportation expenses.

We adopted a simplified model as a result of the size of the data base analyzed (1,938 thousand items), which grouped assets by operating functional unit.


Table of Contents

After connecting all items to functional units, we adopted the following appraisal criteria/premises:

For all equipment deemed obsolete, with no market value, the value of a MODERN EQUIVALENT will be considered.

The functional classes devised by APSIS defined technology used by demand, and not by manufacturer or model, noting that, with regards to the market, technology is within the reach of all, and values are similar among manufacturers.

The relevant equipment was selected by functional class to be quoted with manufacturers, or the equivalent, contained in the same data bank supplied, with a purchase date in 2008.

A correction factor was used for each functional class for sampling, with reference to the relevant quoted equipment and adopting the premise that the value of all equipment belonging to the same functional class is affected in the same manner.

The economic useful life of fixed assets installed on the plant was defined as a result of field visitations and data collected from the manufacturers of the equipment. We contemplated the following factors for assessing economic useful life: the need of replacement due to technological advances in demand, competition, market trends and the useful life of the equipment.

Therefore, we arrived at the following probable estimates, per engineering group:

 

 

- Commutation => 10 years

 

- Transmission => 10 years

 

- Infrastructure => 20 years, with towers being = 25 years

 

- Access Network => 10 years

 

- Termination => 10 years

Some functional classes were identified as non-relevant and therefore associated to other similar classes, namely:

REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL

APSIS CONSULTORIA EMPRESARIAL LTDA. devised appraisal reports to assess market values for the purpose of the purchase and sale of the 30 largest commercial buildings belonging to BRASIL TELECOM S.A. (BrT), corresponding to 48% of the total net equity of the company’s buildings. The value arrived at was used to validate the market values introduced by the company’s management, which are updated yearly by the responsible sector.

The technical procedures used in the report prepared by APSIS are in accordance with the criteria set forth by Appraisal Standards NBR 14653-1:2001 and NBR 14653-2:2004 of ABNT – Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, and appraisal calculations to assess market values were prepared on the basis of the evolutive method (direct market data comparative method for land, and cost quantification method for buildings and improvements) and on the basis of the direct market data comparative method.

Furthermore, the reports comply with the specifications and criteria set forth by Appraisal Standards NBR 14653-1:2001, NBR 14653-2:2004 and NBR 14653-5:2004 of ABNT – Brazilian Association of Technical Standards and with the specifications and criteria set forth by USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), in addition to requirements imposed by different bodies, such as: the Ministry of Treasury, the Brazilian Central Bank, Bank of Brazil, CVM (Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission), SUSEP (Superintendence of Private Insurance), RIR/99 (Income Tax Regulation/99), etc. The postulates comprised in the Professional Codes of Ethics set forth by CONFEA – Federal Council of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy and by the Institute of Legal Engineering have also been complied with.

1. METHODOLOGY FOR REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL

The methodology used in the reports is described as follows.

 

1.1 ASSESSMENT OF THE REAL ESTATE’S VALUE - EVOLUTIVE METHOD

This method defines the total value of the real estate based on a combination of the direct comparative method for assessing the value of land and the cost quantification method for assessing the value of improvements.

DIRECT COMPARATIVE METHOD (Handling by Factors) - LAND

DEFINITION

This method defines land value by comparing market data from similar land. Firstly, market research is carried out aiming at producing a representative sampling of market data on land with features, inasmuch as possible, similar to that under appraisal through the use of all available data. This stage, which involves research structures and strategies, starts with the profiling and outlining of the market under analysis upon the assistance of existing theories and concepts or hypotheses originated from experiences acquired by the appraiser on value formation. Within the research structure, variables are chosen which, in principle, are relevant for explaining value formation, and presumed relations between them and dependent variables are established. Researched items are then submitted to technical homogenization through the assistance of approved empirical weighting factors, which aim at weighting the features and qualities of the data researched.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE SAMPLE’S VARIABLES

Dependent variables

In order to correctly specify dependent variables, market investigation in connection with their behavior and ways in which prices are expressed (for instance, total or unit price, reference currency, payment forms) is required, as well as the homogenization of measurement units.

Independent variables

Independent variables refer to physical features (for instance, area and façade), location features (such as the district, street, avenue, and distance to centers of influence, among others), and economic features (such as bid or transaction, business period cycle and condition – payment in cash or in installments). Independent variables must be chosen on the basis of existing theories, knowledge acquired, common sense and other features which have revealed themselves as important during the performance of our work, as some variables contemplated during research planning may have revealed themselves to be of little relevance or vice-versa. Whenever possible, adoption of quantitative variables is recommended.

UNIFICATION FACTORS NORMALLY USED IN THE REPORTS

According to Appraisal Standard NBR 14653-2:2004 of ABNT, for foundation level I to be attained, the adjustment interval acceptable for each factor or set of factors is 0.50 to 1.50. The following factors were used in this appraisal:

F1 - Bid Factor

This factor has been adopted for items under bid, bearing in mind that it normally suffers a reduction in value for the purpose of closing the deal. It varies from 0.8 to 1.0.

F2 - Transposition Factor

This factor has been adopted for the purpose of unifying researched items with the real estate under appraisal, as a function of the relative location.

F3 - Area Factor

This factor has been adopted for the purpose of unifying researched items with the real estate under appraisal, as a function of the relative area.

ü    F3 = (s/S)1/4

Where: s = area of researched item

S= area of real estate under appraisal

When variation between two areas is less than 30%; or

ü    F3 = (s/S)1/8

When variation between two areas is over 30%.

F4 - Topography Factor

This factor has been adopted to unify researched items with the real estate under appraisal as a function of the relative topography.

F5 - Frontage Factor

This factor has been adopted to unify researched items with the real estate under appraisal, as a function of the relative frontage.

ü    F5 = (TA/Ta)1/4

Where: TA = frontage of the real estate under appraisal

Ta = frontage of the researched item

With expression being limited to the interval of 0.5 <= TA/Ta >= 2.0

After unification, these values are subjected to a statistical assessment to determine the unit value to be adopted for the real estate under appraisal.

After researched items have been duly unified, Student’s Percentile-T Method is adopted for assessing the possible interval with 80% confidence. Within this interval, the appraiser, at his discretion, adopts the unit value deemed appropriate. This value is multiplied by the constructed area of the real estate under appraisal, thus arriving at the value thereof.

COST QUANTIFICATION METHOD - BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS

The cost quantification method determines value on the basis of the cost of reproduction minus depreciation of buildings and improvements, with all original features or re-allocation thereof considered, and contemplating depreciation due to physical deterioration, functionality and economic/external obsolescence.

The unit value (new value) for buildings and construction is defined through the adoption of the basic unit cost of construction, which is determined through inquiries made to magazines specializing in civil construction indexes and costs (PINI EDITORS). This value is multiplied by the equivalent construction area of the improvements.

A percentage representing factors not included in the cost of construction, such as: BDI (Indirect Costs and Profits) rate, project cost, fees, etc., is added to this sum, thereby established the building’s cost of reproduction.

Depreciation results from the items’ wear and tear. Functional obsolescence occurs as a result of a decrease in value based on the internal condition of the real estate, due to inadequate design, materials, or processes that give rise to inadequacies, capability, under-utilization or excess operational costs.

Table of Contents

Economic/external obsolescence is an irreparable injury to the value of buildings and improvements caused by unfavorable conditions of the local economy and industrial sector, such as: unavailability of financing, loss of sources of raw material and labor, lack of efficient transportation, change in the center of business, change in legislation and changes in customs.

A depreciation factor set forth by the Ross-Heidecke Method (accounting for the state of conservation and apparent age of the building) is applied to the previously resulting cost of reproduction of the building, thus arriving at the building’s cost of reproduction minus depreciation.

CALCULATION OF THE REAL ESTATE’S FINAL VALUE

The market value for the purchase and sale of the real estate is obtained from the sum of land, construction and improvement portions. If the resulting value is not appropriate to the current status of the regional real estate market within the segment under analysis, we adopt a commercialization factor.

APPRAISAL OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The acknowledgment of the importance of intangible assets in the business world has been rapidly growing, as companies have increasingly been bought and sold due to their “off-balance sheet” assets.

The work of appraising intellectual property and intangible assets is not predisposed to determining a specific value with accuracy, but rather to gathering the largest possible amount of data and information about the business and its market, which analyzed and modeled jointly, should enable the appraiser to assess a probable value for the object under analysis, as a function of the specific features of the situation and purpose analyzed.

Every company has a portfolio of assets, which are responsible for the accomplishment and continuity of operations, aiming at the generation of profit which would represent a satisfactory return on invested capital. These assets are divided into three categories:

 

 

Monetary assets – represented by the net current capital, which is the difference between current assets (cash, short-term investments, trade bills receivable, inventories, etc.) and current liabilities (suppliers, accounts payable, income tax, etc.).

 

 

Fixed assets (tangible) – those which can be handled, that is, which have physical existence. They include machines and equipment, land, vehicles and real estate, among others;

 

 

Intangible assets and intellectual property – Intangible assets are those which do not have physical existence, but provide rights and privileges to their owners. They are mainly represented by client portfolios, contracts, the relationship with clients, franchising, etc. Intellectual property generally refers to trademarks and patents, copyrights and know-how. It represents a special classification within intangible assets, as its owner is protected by law against illegal exploitation of the intellectual property by third-parties.

All approaches for appraising assets start with the principle of substitution. This principle presumes that a prudent buyer will not pay a value for a piece of property that is higher than the cost of acquisition of a substitute piece of property with the same utility.

Starting with the principle of substitution, three types of approaches have been defined, which can be used to assess the value of an intangible asset. For each appraisal, one should choose the most appropriate approach. However, more than one approach may be used jointly. They are:

 

 

The market approach – it aims at comparing the assets under analysis to other similar assets which have been recently sold or are being offered for sale;

 

 

The cost approach – it measures the investment required to produce similar assets which would present an identical capacity to generate benefits;

 

 

The income approach – it defines the value of assets as the current value of future benefits which will result from their property rights.

APPRAISAL OF CONCESSION/AUTHORIZATION CONTRACTS

In the appraisal of the intangible assets of BrT, the methodology chosen was the income approach, recommended when an industry owns relevant contracts which guarantee long-term profitability (Valuation of Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets – Smith, Parr). The following relevant category of intangible operating assets can be considered in fixed telephony operation companies, such as BrT:

 

 

Public Service Concession Contract – Fixed Telephony

As to the brand value, each business segment has intangible assets with greater or lesser influence on the operations. In the case of fixed telephony, the brand does not have relevant influence on cash generation, but rather the guarantee of service exclusivity for the inhabitants of a particular region, including the assignment of the client base existent at the time the service was privatized.

For appraising the Concession Contract, we analyzed the cash flow of the fixed telephony business during the remaining useful life of the concession (17 years), on a stand-alone basis, contemplating potential synergies resulting from the acquisition process described in this report. We also added the residual value of fixed assets and working capital at the end of the concession.

After calculating the present value of this cash flow through a discount rate appropriate for the segment, we deducted tangible operating assets (working capital and fixed assets) at market prices, so as to draw out the intrinsic value of the Concession Contract, as shown on the table below:

APPRAISAL OF THE MOBILE TELEPHONY CLIENT PORTFOLIO

The client portfolio is the main operating intangible asset of the mobile telephony segment. The calculation of this portfolio’s market value was established by the increase in the number of users between 2007 and 2008, and also by the commercial expenses per additional client in 2008. Therefore, we have derived the value of the client portfolio in 2008, which is shown and summarized below:

APPRAISAL OF BRAND AND INTERNET DOMAIN NAMES

Other intangible assets of lesser relevance are brand and internet domain names. The calculation of the values of the Brand and Internet Domain names IG, BRTURBO and IBEST were accomplished through the methodology of market multiples, where the company UOL was used as a means of comparison. The result obtained through the market multiples analysis was accomplished for the total number of broadband users and the value of the brand/domain name per each subscriber. The value found according to the adopted methodology is as follows:

fifty-five thousand reais), which amount was approved at the General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of BRT held on April 8, 2009. Regarding Item 2 of the Agenda, after a presentation by Mr. Roberto Terziani, the Board was informed of the structure proposed for continuing the corporate restructuring of BRT and BRTP, through the merger of BRTP with and into BRT by way of the incorporation of BRTP’s shareholders’ equity into BRT and the termination of BRTP.
