VIVO PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A.

Notes to the quarterly financial statements – ITRs
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010
(in thousands of Brazilian Reais, except as otherwise mentioned)

 

1. OPERATIONS

a. Equity Control
Vivo Participações S.A. (“Vivo Participações” or “Company”) is a publicly-held company that, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, has as controlling shareholders Brasilcel N.V. and its subsidiaries Portelcom Participações S.A. and TBS Celular Participações Ltda., which jointly hold, treasury shares excluded, 59.6% of the Company’s total capital stock.

At September 30, 2010, Brasilcel N.V. was controlled by Telefónica S.A. (“Telefónica”), holds 100% of the total capital stock (note 1f). At December 31, 2009, Brasilcel N.V. was jointly controlled by Telefónica S.A. (50% of the total capital stock), PT Móveis, Serviços de Telecomunicações, SGPS, S.A. (49.99% of the total capital stock) and Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. (0.01% of the total capital).

b. Subsidiaries

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company was the 100% controlling shareholder of Vivo S.A. (“Vivo”).

Until May 31, 2010, the Company was also the 100% controlling shareholder of Telemig Celular S.A. (“Telemig”), which was merged into the Company on June 01, 2010 (note 1c).

In order to allow easier understanding of the terms used in these notes, we clarify that “subsidiaries” refers to the company/period:

The Company and Vivo provide personal mobile telephone services, including activities that are necessary or useful for the performance of above mentioned services, in accordance with the authorizations granted to them.

c. Merger of Telemig into Vivo Participações

At a Special Shareholders’ Meeting, held on June 01, 2010, the merger of Telemig into Vivo Participações and the consequent extinguishment of Telemig were approved. In conformity with the provisions in article 227 of Law no. 6.404/76, at that same date the Protocol of Justification and Merger of Telemig into Vivo Participações and the Appraisal Report for the net assets of Telemig, prepared by an independent firm, were approved based on the book value at March 31, 2010. The net assets transferred to Vivo Participações at March 31,2010 totaled R$1,003,766 and the equity changes occurred in Telemig between the base date and the effective date of the merger (June 01, 2010) were absorbed by Vivo Participações.

Such merger did not entail any increase of capital or change in the shareholding structure of the shareholders of Vivo Participações, given the absence of non-controlling shareholders on Telemig.

As a result of the merger, Telemig’s authorization licenses will be timely transferred to the Company, which started exploiting mobile telephony services, including those activities that are necessary or useful for the performance of such services in the State of Minas Gerais (region 1).

d. Authorization and Frequencies

The Company’s and Vivo’s business, including the services they may provide, are regulated by the National Telecommunications Agency (“ANATEL”), the regulatory authority for telecommunication services in accordance with Law No. 9,472, dated July 16, 1997 – General Telecommunications Law (“LGT”). Such agency implements its actions, as a rule, by enactment of regulations and supplementary plans.

The authorizations granted by ANATEL may be renewed just once, for a 15-year period, by the  payment on a two years basis, after the first renewal, of rates equivalent to 2% (two percent) of the  revenue for the year prior to that of the payment, net of taxes and mandatory social contributions related to the application of the Basic and Alternative Plans of Service.

e. Agreement between Telefónica S.A. and Telecom Itália

In October 2007, TELCO S.p.A. (in which Telefónica S.A holds an interest of 42.3%), completed the acquisition of 23.6% of Telecom Itália. Since September 27, 2010, Telefónica S.A. has held the full share control of Vivo Participações S.A. (note 1f). Telecom Italia holds an interest in TIM Participações S.A (“TIM”), which is a mobile telephone operator in Brazil. Despite the interest held in Telecom Itália, Telefónica does not have any direct involvement in the operations of TIM. Additionally, any transactions between the Company or Vivo and TIM are transactions in the regular course of cellular telephone business, which are regulated by the ANATEL, pursuant to the provisions in the acts 68,276/2007 and 3,804/2009.

f. Acquisition by Telefónica of the 50% stake held by Portugal Telecom in Brasilcel N.V.

At July 28, 2010, by a relevant fact disclosed by Telefónica, it executed the final agreement for acquisition of a 50% stake in Brasilcel N.V., held by PT Móveis, Serviços de Telecomunicações, SGPS, S.A. (“Portugal Telecom”) and by Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A. (“Portugal Telecom”), for 7.5 billion Euros, subject to approval by ANATEL, for subsequent financial closing of the transaction.

At September 23, 2010, ANATEL announced its approval of the prior consent request submitted by Telefónica in connection with the above described acquisition.

At September 27, 2010, a new relevant fact was disclosed by Telefónica, informing that it acquired, on that date, 50% of the Brasilcel N.V. shares previously held by Portugal Telecom, with a first disbursement of 4.5 billion Euros having been made. The remaining balance, totaling the above mentioned 7.5 billion Euros, shall be paid as follows: 1.0 billion Euros, at December 30, 2010, and 2.0 billion Euros, at October 31, 2011. Portugal Telecom may request this last payment to be advanced to July 29, 2011 and, in this case, the price of this last installment shall be reduced by approximately 25 million Euros. As a result of the transaction, Telefónica became the controlling shareholder of Vivo Participações.

Telefónica confirmed, in the same relevant fact, that it will launch a public offering (“OPA”) for acquisition of the voting shares of Vivo Participações for the price equivalent to eighty percent (80%) of the total value paid by Telefónica to Portugal Telecom, for each voting common share of Vivo Participações.

2. BASIS FOR PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Basis for Preparation and Presentation

The individual and consolidated quarterly financial statements (“ITRs”) are presented in thousands of Brazilian reais (except as otherwise mentioned) and have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as well as with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”), with due regard to the accounting standards set forth in the corporation law (Law no. 6,404/76), which includes the new provisions introduced, amended and revoked by Laws no. 11.638, dated December 28, 2007 and no. 11.941, dated May 27, 2009 (former Provisional Measure no. 449, dated December 03, 2008), as well as the rules applicable to telecommunication service authorized concessionaires.

The changes in the accounting practices arising from the application of Laws No. 11,638 and No. 11,941 have been measured and registered by the Company and by its subsidiaries based on the following accounting pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Committee (CVM) and by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”).

In continuance with the process of compliance with the international accounting standards, on November 10, 2009 the CVM published CVM Resolution no. 603, which permitted the publicly-held companies to present their Quarterly Information Reports (“ITRs”) during fiscal year 2010 pursuant to the accounting standards in effect until December 31, 2009. The Company decided not to adopt the permission referred to in the resolution and established January 01, 2009 as the “transition date” for adoption of the new accounting practices, issued in 2009, and the mandatory adoption of such practices is required for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. The “transition date” is defined as being the starting point for the adoption of the changes to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and represents the date on which the Company and its subsidiaries prepared their financial statements adjusted to these new accounting standards. The pronouncements affecting the quarterly financial statements are commented in note 2b.

The authorization for completion of the preparation of these quarterly financial statements was given at the Executive Committee’s Meeting held on November 03, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, the balances of the controlling company include: i) in the balance sheet, the merged amounts of Telemig, pursuant to the balance sheet prepared at March 31, 2010 and the equity changes occurred until May 31, 2010; ii) in the income statement, the balances of the transactions carried out from June 01, 2010 on as the operator of region 1, State of Minas Gerais; and iii) the respective effects of merger on the cash flows.

In order to allow a better understanding of the information contained in the balance sheet of the controlling company, for the period ended on September 30, 2010, we have disclosed in note 36 balances of Telemig, as merged into the Company, at May 31, 2010.

The periods of disclosure of the subsidiaries’ information coincide with those of the controlling shareholder.

All assets and liabilities balances, revenues and expenses arising out of transactions among the consolidated companies were eliminated in the consolidated statements.

No segment disclosure applies, once the Company operates in a unique segment: provision of mobile telecommunication services.

The CVM determined, through the Instruction no. 485/10 (which amends the Instruction no. 457/07) that the consolidated financial statements of publicly-held companies as of December 31, 2010 shall be prepared based on pronouncements that fully meet the international standards (International Financial Reporting Standards – “IFRS”) requirements, issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM. The consolidated financial statements of publicly-held companies shall be called as “Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS”. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 shall be disclosed in compliance with such requirement.

2.b) Effect of the adjustments of the application of CPCs 15 to 40 and change to the accounting practices

The accounting practices and the calculation methods were uniformly applied in the consolidated companies and are consistent with those used in the compared fiscal years/periods, except for the application of the pronouncements and interpretations of the pronouncements issued during fiscal years 2009 and 2010, which impacts on the financial statements are detailed as follows:

2.b1) Deferred income and social contribution taxes: Prior to the adoption of CPC 32 – Income taxes, the amounts of deferred income and social contribution taxes were posted to current assets, to the extent of their expected realization. Upon the adoption of CPC 32, the total deferred income and social contribution taxes started being posted to non-current assets, including the deferred taxes ascertained in the application of the adjustments provided for in the CPCs (note 6).

2.b2) Inspection and installation rate (“TFI”): This rate corresponds to the amounts that are monthly paid on net additions of new customers. They were amortized during the estimated period of customer retention, equivalent to 24 months. Upon the adoption of the CPCs and with the purpose of making its accounting practices compliant with the best international practices, the Company and its subsidiaries started recognizing such amounts directly in the income statement in the “Cost of Services Rendered”, in item “Taxes, charges and contributions” (note 23). Due adjustments were made on a retrospective basis, as required by CPC 23 – Accounting Policies, Change of Estimate and Correction of Mistakes.

2.b3) Escrow deposits: The amounts of escrow deposits granted as guarantee of civil, labor and tax claims were stated in the balance sheet as a reduction of the respective liabilities, complying with the provisions set forth in CVM Resolution no. 489/05 (revoked by CVM Resolution no. 495, which approved CPC 25 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Upon the adoption of CPC 25, the Company and its subsidiaries reclassified the referred escrow deposits to current assets and non-current assets, according to the expected realization term (note 7).

2.b4) Post-retirement benefit plans: The Company and its subsidiaries started recognizing the net actuarial assets of the post-retirement benefit plans, to the extent of the surplus recoverability restrictions applicable to sponsors of Brazilian pension plans. Such Net Actuarial Assets were not recognized prior to the adoption of CPC 33 – Employee Benefits. Unrealized actuarial gains and losses referring to the post-retirement benefit plans and the amounts referring to surplus recoverability limitations due to refunds or reductions in future contributions are being recognized as other comprehensive income, and do not impact any more the operating income (note 30).

2.b5) Capitalized interest: The financial charges provided for in certain loan and financing agreements relating to investment activities were capitalized based on the average amount of construction in progress, pursuant to CVM resolution no. 193 (revoked by CVM Resolution no. 577, which approved CPC 20 – Loan Costs) and Official Release CVM/SNC/SEP 01/2007. The capitalized financial charges were depreciated pursuant to the same criteria of useful life as determined for the item of property, plant & equipment to which they were attributed. However, upon the adoption of CPC 20 and after an analysis conducted by the Company, it was concluded that the maturity period of its construction is not significant and that such charges should not be capitalized. Due adjustments were made on a prospective basis since January 01, 2009 (transition date), with the capitalized balance until December 31, 2008 remaining held in property, plant & equipment, which is depreciated according to the same criteria and useful life of the items of property, plant & equipment to which they were attributed (note 11).

2.b6) Acquisition of non-controlling shareholders’ shares and premium: In accordance with the Brazilian accounting practices prior to CPC 15 – Business Combination, a premium was recorded upon the acquisition of shares for prices higher than the book value. Upon the adoption of CPC 15,  from January 01, 2009 (transition date) on, the effects of all the transactions of acquisition of non-controlling interest started being recorded in the shareholders’ equity to the extent there is no change in the shareholding control. Consequently, such transactions no longer generate goodwill. The premium previously generated in the acquisitions of non-controlling interest, including expenses being capitalized in the process, was adjusted towards the shareholders’ equity (note 21).

2.b7) Deferred assets: Upon the adoption of CPC 13 – Initial Adoption of Law no. 11.638/07 and of Provisional Measure no. 449/08, on January 01, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries elected to keep the recognized balances in the deferred asset group until the complete amortization thereof. The pre-operating expenses balance recorded as deferred assets prior to January 01, 2009 (transition date) referred to pre-operating expenses of Global Telecom (Vivo’s predecessor company) and to the network formation costs in the Northeast region, which were amortized pursuant to the straight line method, within 10 years. After review by the Company, and with the purpose of making their accounting practices compliant with the best international practice, the Company and its subsidiaries elected to write-off such amounts as a counter-entry to the shareholders’ equity. The due adjustments were made on a retrospective basis, as required in CPC 23.

2.b8) Recognition of multi-element transaction revenues: In order to meet the requirements in CPC 30 – Revenues, the amounts of minutes included in the multi-element transactions started being segregated and presented in the income statement as a service revenue to the extent such services were used by customers. The due adjustments were made on a prospective basis (note 19).

2.b9) Donations and subventions reserve: The amounts of network equipment donated by suppliers were posted to a specific reserve account, in the shareholders’ equity. After review by the Company and with the purpose of making its accounting practices compliant with the best international practice and as set forth in Law no. 11.638/07, such amounts were transferred to “Deferred Revenue - Donation of Equipment” and are amortized for the term the equipment is in service. The due adjustments were made on a retrospective basis, as required in CPC 23 (note 19).

2.b10) Supplementary dividends: According to previous Brazilian law, Companies could recognize dividends supplementary to the minimum mandatory dividend as of the closing date of the fiscal year based on the Management’s proposal for allocation of the net profit of the year. Upon the adoption of CPC 24 – Subsequent Event, and ICPC 08 – Accounting of the Dividend Payment Proposal, supplementary dividends must be recognized at the time they are approved by the competent managing bodies. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries reversed the amounts of supplementary dividends which had been recorded at December 31, 2009 and were not yet approved at a General Shareholders Meeting on that date. The supplementary dividends receivable from its subsidiaries and those payable to its shareholders were approved for payment in the General Shareholders Meetings held on March 31, 2010 and on April 16, 2010, respectively. Therefore, in the second quarter of 2010, there was the approval for payment and consequent registration of dividends payable referring to the supplementary amount for fiscal year 2009 (note 17).

2.b11) Minority interest: This refers to the effects of the minority interest in the adjustments made by the Company, arising out of the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements.

2.b12) Shareholders’ equity: This refers to the effects of the controlling shareholders’ interest in the adjustments made by the Company, arising out of the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements (note 21).

2.b13) Equity method result: This refers to the amounts calculated pursuant to the equity method, arising out of the application of the adjustments made in the subsidiaries, as provided for in the CPCs (note 10).

2.b14) Disclosure of infrastructure swap costs and revenues: the amounts of revenues and costs referring to agreements contemplating mutual provision, among different operators, of network infrastructure assets with the same technical features, prices, contractual conditions and similar nature of use, started being disclosed on a net basis in the revenues and in the costs. The due adjustments were made on a prospective basis, as required in CPC 30 (notes 23 and 26).

2.b15) Roaming: The amounts referring to invoicing and transfer of domestic and international roaming, which were previously posted to the current assets and liabilities, are now considered as revenue, at the time of the invoicing, and as costs, at the time of the transfer, pursuant to the definition of agent and principal described in CPC 30. The due adjustments were made on a prospective basis, as required in CPC 30 (notes 22 and 23).

2.b16) Reclassifications in the income statement:  As a result of the application of the CPCs and with the purpose of making its accounting practices compliant with  best international practices, the Company and its subsidiaries made some reclassifications in their income statements, as described below:

The Company and its subsidiaries elected not to evaluate property, plant & equipment at the fair value as assigned cost, as suggested in ICPC 10 – Interpretation on the Initial Application to Property, Plant & Equipment and to the Property for Investment, considering that: (i) the cost method, deducted by a provision for losses, is the best method to evaluate property, plant & equipment; (ii) they segregate assets into quite well defined classes related to their operating activity; (iii) their area of scope is significantly impacted by technological development, requiring frequent review of the recoverable values and estimates of useful life of the assets, which has been consistently done; and (iv) they have adopted effective controls over property, plant & equipment items, which allow for identification of losses and changes in the useful life of the assets; and (v) they consider that their property, plant & equipment are already recorded at their effective recoverable value, not requiring further assignment of cost. Therefore, the values shown in the net property, plant & equipment are in accordance with the accounting practices currently enforced in Brazil.

In the tables below, and for comparison purposes, the Company presents the amounts corresponding to the impacts generated in the shareholders’ equity for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2009 and, for comparison purposes, in the income statement, of the controlling company and consolidated income statement for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2009. The accounting information for 2010 is already presented with the application of the referred adjustments and reclassifications.

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

a)   Tax loss and negative tax base: represents the amount recorded by the subsidiaries, which will be offset up to the limit of 30% of the tax base 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 tax credit that would arise from the use of the tax bases in the amount of R$772,978 at September 30, 2010 (R$688,023 at December 31, 2009), 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.

b)  Tax credit incorporated – restructuring: represented by the net balance of goodwill and provision for maintenance of the integrity of the shareholders’ equity (note 6.2). Realization occurs proportionally to the amortization of the goodwill, in a period from 5 to 10 years. Studies performed by independent consultants hired during the corporate reorganization process support the recovery of such amounts within the above referred time. 

c)   Tax credits on temporary differences: their realization will occur upon the payment of the provisions, effective loss on bad debts or realization of inventories, as well as reversal of other provisions. The Company did not record the potential deferred income and social contribution tax credit that would arise from the use of the provisions in the amount of R$229,232 at September 30, 2010 (R$154,757 at December 31, 2009), 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. Additionally, upon the merger of Telemig that occurred on June 01, 2010, the Company absorbed the assets of deferred income and social contribution taxes of Telemig in the amount of R$176,505, the balance at May 31, 2010.

The Company and its subsidiaries prepared technical feasibility studies, approved by the Board of Directors, which indicated the full recovery of deferred tax amounts recognized at December 31, 2009. During the nine-month period ended at September 30, 2010, no relevant fact occurred which might indicate any limitations to the full recovery of the amounts of deferred taxes recognized by the subsidiaries.

6.2  Tax credit incorporated – corporate reorganization

Prior to the mergers, provisions were booked for maintenance of the stockholders’ equity of the merged company and, consequently, the net assets that were merged represent, essentially, the tax benefit arising out of the possibility of deduction of the incorporated goodwill.

Included in the accounting records held for corporate and tax purposes by the Company and its subsidiaries are specific accounts related to incorporated goodwill and provision, amortization, reversal and tax credit, the balances of which are as follows:

(a) The amounts of R$327,397, at September 30, 2010 (R$271,611 at December 31, 2009) included in the consolidated statements, refer to the program Paraná Mais Emprego, resulting from an agreement with the Paraná State Government involving the deferral of ICMS tax payment. Such agreement provides for that the ICMS becomes due always in the 49th month following that in which the ICMS tax is calculated. This amount is adjusted to the variation of the Annual Indexation Factor (FCA).

(b) They include the amounts referring to the writ of mandamus Telemig (which was merged into the Company on June 01, 2010) filed, challenging the liability for the payment of the inspection fees on mobile stations which are not owned by it, and started booking a provision and effecting a deposit in court for the amounts referring to the operation inspection fee and to the installation inspection fee. The case is awaiting decision by the Regional Court of the 1st Region. In the opinion of its legal counsels, the chances of loss in these proceedings are possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing understanding, the Company maintained the provision because it understood that it was the case of a legal liability, having made deposits in court totaling R$551,426 at September 30, 2010 (R$416,625 at December 31, 2009), note 7.

(c) Telemig Participações (which was merged into the Company on November 13, 2009 ), filed writs of mandamus requesting the court to declare its right not to be assessed IRRF (Withholding Income Tax) at source on its receipts of interest on own capital of its subsidiary. Based on the opinion of its legal counsels, said proceedings are classified as possible risk. Notwithstanding such expectancy, the Company kept maintained the provision because it considered the same as a legal liability, having made deposits in court totaling R$22,540 at September 30, 2010 (R$21,445 at December 31, 2009), note 7.

(d) They include the amounts of administrative and judicial proceedings, seeking to discharge the assessment of the CIDE on remittances of funds abroad, in connection with agreements for transfer of technology, license of trademarks and software, etc. The Company and its subsidiaries recorded court deposits in the amount of R$118,112 at September 30, 2010 (R$80,933 at December 31, 2009), having made deposits in court totaling R$96,978 (R$63,695 at December 31, 2009), note 7.

(*) URTJLP – Long term interest rate reference unit, used by the BNDES as the contract currency in loan agreements.

(**) UMBND – Monetary unit, based on a currency basket used by the BNDES as the contract currency in loan agreements.

At May 14, 2010, funds were released from an indirect credit facility granted by the BNDES (Investment Sustaining Program – BNDES PSI) in the total amount of R$99,679. These funds are being used for the acquisition of domestic equipment designed for network capacity expansion, purchased from suppliers previously registered with the BNDES. Because they refer to a financing at a rate lower than the market standard (4.5% p.a., pre-fixed), this transaction falls within the scope of CPC 07 – Government Subvention and Assistance. We have applied the effective interest method defined in CPC 38 – Financial Instruments: Acknowledgment and Measurement, and made the following considerations: a comparison was performed between i) the total debt amount calculated based on the rates provided for in the contract; and ii) the total debt amount calculated based on the market rates (fair value). Based on such comparison, the subvention granted by the BNDES, adjusted to present value, resulted in R$19,555. Such amount was recorded in “Deferred Revenues/Government Subvention”, and is deferred for the useful life of the asset being financed as a counter-entry to “Other operating revenues (expenses), net”.

18.3) Comments/Details

18.3.1 Probable Loss

a) Civil Proceedings

Civil proceedings include civil claims, on several levels, and as previously shown, a provision considered sufficient to cover probable losses in those proceedings was accounted for.

Consumers

The Company and its subsidiaries are facing several legal proceedings filed by individual consumers or by civil associations representing the rights of consumers who claim non-fulfillment of services and/or products sold. On an individual basis, none of those proceedings is considered relevant.

At September 30, 2010, based on the opinion of its external legal advisors, R$127,628 (R$145,756 at December 31, 2009) were provisioned, and such amount was considered sufficient to cover probable losses in those proceedings.

Other cases

They refer to proceedings of other natures, all of them relating to the regular business course. At September 30, 2010, based on the opinion of its external legal advisors, R$17,988 (R$4,734 at December 31, 2009) were provisioned, and such amount was considered sufficient to cover probable losses in those proceedings.

b) Regulatory Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are facing several administrative proceedings filed by ANATEL relating to a purported noncompliance with the Regulation regarding the Personal Mobile Service (“SMP”). At September 30, 2010 R$17,944 (R$17,464 at December 31, 2009) were provisioned, and such amount was considered sufficient to cover probable losses in those proceedings

c) Labor Claims

They include several labor claims, and as previously shown, a provision considered sufficient to cover probable losses in those proceedings was accounted for.

d) Tax Proceedings

At September 30, 2010, Vivo (RJ, SP, AM, SE and DF) was holding administrative and legal discussions on ICMS taxes for which, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, provisions were recorded in the amount of R$30,529 (R$24,759 at December 31, 2009), which was deemed to be sufficient to cover probable losses.

Vivo was holding administrative discussions on federal taxes (IRPJ/PIS/COFINS) that, at September 30, 2010, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, are provisioned at R$744 (R$2,824 at December 31, 2009). Such amounts were deemed to be sufficient to cover probable losses in these proceedings.

At September 30, 2010, administrative discussions related to other taxes for which provisions were recorded in the amount of R$3,098 (R$184 at December 2009), based on the opinion of its legal advisors. The Management deems the amount to be sufficient to cover probable losses in these proceedings.

18.3.2 Possible Loss

Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, the Company Management believes that the settlement of the issues listed below will not produce any material adverse effects on its financial condition.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the breakdown of the amounts of lawsuits classified as possible loss, were as follows:

  Consolidated
  09.30.10   12.31.09
Civil           575,004             534,602
   Consumers           465,222             492,819
   Others           109,782               41,783
Regulatory              7,301                7,570
Labor           223,065             205,501
Tax (*)        4,345,618          3,842,217
Total        5,150,988          4,589,890

(*) These refer to administrative and judicial claims in connection with the following taxes: ICMS, PIS, COFINS, ISS, IRPJ, IRRF, CSLL, IOF, CPMF, FUST, FUNTTEL, FISTEL and Contribution for Boosting Public Broadcasting (EBC) and Social Contributions, of which FISTEL is the most relevant, relating to the TFI charged at the time of the extension of the effective term of the right to use radiofrequency in connection with the exploitation of the personal mobile service, in the amount of R$1,155,013 at September 30, 2010 (R$1,094,718 at December 31, 2009). The relevant lawsuits filed in the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2010 refer to the same matters already in course at December 31, 2009, including discussions dealing with the refund to its customers of the amounts settled by way of contributions to COFINS and to PIS.

At July 02, 2002, a delinquency notice was issued against Telemig (which was merged into the Company) by the National Social Security Institute (“INSS”) relating to the joint and several liability for the payment of the contribution to the INSS of service providers and the 11% withholding provided for in Law no. 9711/98. Although this is a case with possible chance of loss, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the provision posted in the amount of R$3,547 was deemed to be sufficient to cover eventual losses arising out of the referred delinquency notice, based on the opinion of its legal counsels. The proceedings are awaiting decision in the administrative sphere.

21. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a) Capital Stock

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company may increase its capital stock up to the limit of seven hundred and fifty million (750,000,000) shares (authorized capital), either common or preferred, regardless of the amendment to the articles of incorporation, with the Board of Directors being the competent body to resolve on the increase and the consequent issue of new shares up to the referred limit.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the subscribed and paid-up capital stock of the Company was R$8,780,150, represented by shares with no face value, distributed among the shareholders as follows:

Shareholders Common % Preferred % Total %, includes treasury shares %, except treasury shares
Brasilcel, NV 52,731,031 38.4 91,087,513 34.6 143,818,544 35.9 36.0

Total 137,269,188 100.0 263,444,639 100.0 400,713,827 100.0 100.0

b) Premium on the acquisition of minority interest

Pursuant to the Brazilian accounting practices prior to CPC 15 – Business Combination, a premium was recorded at the time of the acquisition of shares for prices above their book value, generated by the difference between the book value of the shares purchased and the fair value of the transaction. After the adoption of CPC 15, the transition date of which is January 01, 2009, the effects of all the transactions of acquisition of shares held by minority shareholders started being recorded in the shareholders’ equity when there is no change in the shareholding control. Consequently, such transactions do not generate any premium or results now and the premium previously generated in the acquisitions from minority shareholders, including expenses capitalized in the process, were adjusted towards the shareholders’ equity of the Company, in the amount of R$1,749,650, according to the transactions described below:

• The amount of R$1,258,853, referring to the premium generated from the merger of shares (exchange of shares) of Telemig, Telemig Participações and Vivo Participações and the capitalized expenses relating to such process.

• The amount of R$490,797, referring to the premium generated in the process of acquisition of minority interest of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A., in 2004 and 2005. As permitted in the Brazilian law, before the adoption of CPC 15 such goodwill was amortized until December 31, 2007.

c) Capital Reserves

c.1) Premium reserve

This reserve represents the excess of value at the time of the issuance or capitalization in relation to the basic value of the share at the issuance date. The amount at September 20, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was R$515,089.

c.2) Special Premium reserve

This reserve was booked as a result of the corporate reorganization processes described in note 6.2, as a counter-entry to the net assets transferred, and represents the future tax benefit to be earned by amortization of the premium transferred. The portion of special premium reserve corresponding to the benefit may be, at the end of each fiscal year, capitalized to the benefit of the controlling shareholder, with the issue of new shares. The capital increase is subject to the preemptive rights of the non-controlling shareholders, proportionally to their respective interests, by kind and class of share, at the time of the issue, with the amounts paid upon the exercise of such right to be directly delivered to the controlling shareholder, pursuant to the provisions in CVM Instruction no. 319/99 (amended by CVM Instructions no. 320/99 and no. 349/01).

With the capitalization effected in the first quarter of 2009, all the amount of tax benefit was capitalized to the benefit of the controlling shareholders; consequently, there will be no new capitalizations relating to these specific tax benefits in the future.

c.3) Tax Incentives

These represent the amounts invested in tax incentives in previous fiscal years. The balance recorded by the Company was originated from the merger of Tele Centro Oeste Celular Participações S.A., occurred on February 22, 2006. The amount at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was R$3,589.

d) Profit Reserves

d.1) Legal Reserve

The legal reserve is booked by allocation of 5% of the net profit for the year, up to the limit of 20% of the paid-up capital stock or 30% of the capital stock added by the capital reserves. As from such limit, allocations to this reserve are no longer mandatory, as set forth in Art. 193 of Law no. 6404/76. The amount at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was R$164,524.

d.2) Reserve for Expansion

The reserve for expansion was booked with the purpose of holding funds for financing additional investments of fixed and current capital by allocation of up to 100% of the remaining net profit, after the legal determinations and the balance of the retained profits account. This reserve is supported by a capital budget approved at the shareholders’ meetings. The amount at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was R$727,472.

d.3) Reserve for Contingencies and Treasury Shares

The amounts recorded result from the spin-off of Companhia Riograndense de Telecomunicações (“CRT”) and are designed to guarantee an eventual court decision rendered with respect to judicial actions concerning capitalizations for fiscal years 1996 and 1997 occurred in that company. The amount at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was R$11,070.

e) Retained Earnings

As described in note 2, the adjustments to the balances at the transition date (January 01, 2009), for compliance with the CPCs issued during fiscal year 2009, applicable as from 2010, with effects on the comparison periods, were appropriated to this item, totaling the amount of R$344,370 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

In September 2010, the Company posted to such line item the amount of R$1,707, as a reflex of the adjustment to the corporate income tax return (DIPJ) referring to tax incentives of fiscal year 2009, which Vivo appropriated directly to its shareholders’ equity.

After the calculation of the net profit of the Company for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2010, in the amount of R$1,029,704, added to the amounts described above, at that same date, the balance of the mentioned line item was R$1,375,781.

Pursuant to a change introduced by Law no. 11.638/07, the net profit for the year shall be fully allocated in conformity with the provisions set forth in articles 193 to 197 of Law no. 6.404/76.

f) Dividends and Interest on the Own Capital

The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except in the cases stipulated in articles 9 and 10 of the Bylaws, but are ensured priority in the reimbursement of the capital stock, without premium, the right to participate in the dividend to be distributed, corresponding to a minimum of 25% of net income for the fiscal year, calculated in accordance with article 202 of Brazilian Corporation law, and priority in receiving minimum non-cumulative dividends equivalent to the higher of the following amounts:

f.1) 6% (six per cent) per year on the amount resulting from the division of the subscribed capital by the total number of Company’s shares;

f.2) 3% (three per cent) per year on the amount resulting from the division of the shareholders’ equity by the total number of Company’s shares, and also the right to participate in distributed profit under the same conditions applicable to common shares, after the common shares have been ensured of a dividend equal to the minimum priority dividend established for the preferred shares.

Because the interest on own capital added to the amounts of the per share dividends, as decided in the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 19, 2009, total the minimum mandatory value, as from December 02, 2009, starting date for payment of the dividends for fiscal year 2008, the holders of preferred shares are no longer entitled to full vote right.

At a Regular and Special Shareholders’ Meeting, held on April 16, 2010, the allocation of the net profit for fiscal year 2009 was approved in the amount of R$871,394, with R$43,569 being allocated to the Legal Reserve and R$827,825 being allocated as dividends and interest on the own capital, as follows: R$104,136 as gross interest on the own capital (R$88,516, net of the withheld income tax at the rate of 15%) and R$723,689 as dividends. Additionally, a total of R$6,676 was allocated as supplementary dividends. At April 19, 2010, the Company paid 50% of such amount and the balance shall be paid to the shareholders on October 25, 2010 (note 38).

Interest on own capital and dividends not claimed by the shareholders are forfeited in 3 (three) years, counted from the date of the beginning of payment, as set forth in article 287, subparagraph II, item a), of Law No. 6404/76.

g) Other comprehensive income

The amount of R$138,778, recorded as other comprehensive income, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, refers to the adjustment arising out of the post-employment benefit plans (note 30).

The Company and its subsidiaries monthly record provisions for income and social contribution taxes, on an accrual basis, paying the taxes based on the monthly estimate. The deferred taxes are recognized on the temporary differences, tax loss and negative base of the social contribution, as mentioned in Note 6. The breakdown of expenses with income and social contribution taxes, recorded for the nine-month periods ended at September 30, 2010 and 2009, is shown below:

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONSOLIDATED)

The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in transactions involving financial instruments, the risks of which are actively managed by means of a set of initiatives, procedures and comprehensive operating policies.

The financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries are presented in compliance with CVM Resolution no. 604, dated November 19, 2009, which approved Technical Pronouncements CPCs 38, 39 and 40, and with CVM Instruction no. 475, dated December 17, 2008.

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

b) Considerations on risk factors which may affect the business of the Company and of its subsidiaries

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to several market risks, as a consequence of their commercial operation, of debts incurred for financing its business and financial instruments related to its indebtedness.

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

b.1) Liquidity Risk

The liquidity risks consist of the Company and its subsidiaries eventually lacking of sufficient funds for meeting their commitments due to the different currencies and settlement terms of their rights and obligations.

The Company and its subsidiaries structure the maturity dates of the financial agreements, as shown in note 16, 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 control of the liquidity and of the cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries is daily monitored by the Company’s Management, in such way as to ensure that the operating cash generation and the previous fund raising, as necessary, are sufficient to meet its schedule of commitments, not generating liquidity risks to the Company and its subsidiaries.

b.2) Credit Risk

The credit risk arises out of the eventual difficulty to collect the amounts payable by its customers for the telecommunication services rendered to them and the sales of handsets to the distributors’ network.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the credit risk related to their financial investments and accounts receivable for swap transactions.

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 offer of post-paid service plans. The customer base of its subsidiaries has, predominantly, a prepaid system, which requires the prior charging and consequently entails no credit risk.

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.

In relation to the credit risk in connection with the financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries act in such a manner as to diversify this exposure among various world-class financial institutions.

b.3) Interest Rate and Inflation Risk

The interest rate risk arises out of the portion of the debt referenced to the CDI rate and of the liability positions in derivatives (exchange hedge and IPCA) 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 balance of financial investments, indexed at the CDI rate, partially offsets such effect.

The debt to the BNDES is indexed to the long-term interest rate (TJLP). From July 2009 until September 30, 2010, the rate remained at 6.00% per year.

The inflation rate risk arises out of the debentures of the Company (arising out of the merger of Telemig), 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 subsidiaries invest the cash surplus of R$1,811,133, mainly, in short term financial investments (Bank Deposit Certificates - CDB) indexed to the CDI rate.

b.4) Exchange Rate Risk

This risk arises out of the possibility of losses on account of exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase the liabilities arising out of loans and purchase commitments in foreign currency or reduce the assets arising out of amounts receivable in foreign currency.

The Company and its subsidiaries have contracted financial derivative transactions (exchange hedge) so as to protect themselves against exchange rate fluctuations arising out of all the foreign currency loans. As from May 2010, hedge transactions were entered into by means of derivative financial instruments seeking to minimize the exchange variation risk of its non-financial assets and liabilities referring to foreign currency rights and obligations.

The table below summarizes the net exposure of financial liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries to the exchange rate factor at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

  Consolidated
  09.30.10   12.31.09
  In thousands of
  US$   ¥   US$   ¥
Loans and financing             (535,770)            (1,429,468)            (419,584)         (1,404,398)
Loans and financing - UMBNDES  (*)                  (1,322)                             -                 (2,485)                       -
Derivative instruments               536,472          1,429,468             421,070          1,404,398
Total excess (insufficient coverage)                (620)                       -                  (999)                       -

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

In addition to the amounts informed above, Vivo records non-financial liabilities in foreign currency referring to other obligations. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the balances of other liabilities in foreign currency were US$32,925 thousand and €11,961 thousand, respectively.

c) Transactions with Derivatives

The Company and Vivo entered into swap contracts in foreign currency at several exchange rates, in notional amounts of US$518,344, EUR228 and JPY1,338,853, at September 30, 2010 (US$415,637 and JPY 1,338,853 at December 31, 2009) for hedging of its foreign currency assets and liabilities.

At October 15, 2009, a swap contract was entered into, 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.

As required by Law no. 11,638/07, the Company and Vivo apply CPC 38 – Financial Instruments: Acknowledgment and Measurement, CPC39 – Financial Instruments: Presentation and CPC14 – Financial Instruments: Acknowledgment, Measurement and Evidencing). CPCs 38, 39 and 40 must be applied to all derivative instruments, and requires 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 income statement, save in case of compliance with specific criteria such as hedge accounting.

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

The Company and Vivo calculate the effectiveness of these hedges on a continuous basis (at least quarterly) and, at September 30, 2010, the contracted hedges showed to be effective in relation to the debts subject matter of such coverage. According to the fair value hedge rules, as long as the Company has elected to identify such derivative contracts and hedge accounting, the covered debt is also adjusted to the fair value.

The CVM, by Resolution no. 550, issued on October 17, 2008, and by Instruction no. 475, issued on December 17, 2008, provided for that publicly-held companies are required to disclose, in a specific note, qualitative and quantitative information about all their derivative financial instruments, either recognized or not as assets or liabilities in their balance sheet.

d) Risk Management Policy

All contracting of derivative financial instruments of the Company and of Vivo is intended for protection against foreign exchange risk, variations in foreign and local interest rates and inflation arising out of foreign currency financial debts, rights and obligations, 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 Vivo keep internal controls in relation to their derivative instruments which, in the opinion of the Management, are adequate for controlling risks associated to each strategy of market action. The results obtained by the Company and by Vivo in relation to their derivative financial instruments show that the Management has properly managed risks.

e)  Fair values of the derivative instruments

The valuation method used for calculating the market value of the loans, financing, debentures and derivatives was the discounted cash flow, considering expectancy of settlement or receipt of liabilities and assets at the market rates prevailing at September 30, 2010.

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 the BM&F Bovespa.

The market values of the exchange coupon swaps x CDI were obtained using the market exchange rates in effect at September 30, 2010 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 coupon of 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.

Analysis of sensibility to the risk variables of the Company and Vivo

CVM Instruction 475, dated December 17, 2008, provides for that publicly-held companies are required to disclose a statement of sensibility 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 the 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 to Vivo.

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 previously presented. 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 Vivo have only derivative instruments for hedging their foreign currency financial debt, obligations and rights, changes in the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedge objects, thus showing that the effects thereof are almost null. At September 30, 2010, for these transactions, the Company stated the balance of the subject matter (foreign currency obligations and rights) and of the derivative financial instrument (hedge) in separate lines of the sensibility analysis table, in order to inform on the net exposure of the Company, in each of the three mentioned scenarios, as shown below:

    Consolidated

  Net effect of change in fair value                        (63,796)                     (126,851)

Premises for the sensibility analysis

Risk Variable Probable Deterioration 25% Deterioration 50%
USD 1.6942 2.1178 2.5413
JPY 0.0203 0.0254 0.0305
IPCA 4.49% 5.61% 8.41%
CDI 10.61% 13.26% 15.92%

The net exposure in CDI shown in the sensibility analysis does not reflect all the exposure of the Company and of Vivo to the local interest rate, once, as mentioned before, the Company and Vivo have, as natural hedge, short term financial investments based on the variation of the CDI (R$1,811,133 at September 30, 2010).

For calculation of the net exposure of the sensibility analysis, all the derivatives were considered at their market value and only the protected elements designated under the hedge accounting methodology were also considered at their fair value. 

The fair values, shown in the preceding table, depart from a portfolio position at September 30, 2010, however they do not reflect an estimate of realization due to the market dynamism, constantly monitored by the Company and by Vivo. The use of different premises may significantly affect the estimates.

g) Capital management

The purpose of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that a strong credit rating is maintained before the institutions, as well as an optimum capital relation, in order to support the Company’s business and maximize value to the shareholders.

Vivo controls its capital structure by making adjustments and conforming to the current economic conditions. In order to keep such structure adjusted, the Company may effect payments of dividends, capital return to the shareholders, raising of new loans, issuance of debentures, issuance of promissory notes and contracting of derivative transactions. Since fiscal year ended on December 31, 2008, there has been no change in the purposes, policies or processes of capital structure.

The Company includes in its net debt structure: loans, financing and non-convertible debentures, derivative transactions, less cash and cash equivalents.

  Company   Consolidated
  09.30.10   12.31.09   09.30.10   12.31.09
Loans, financing and debentures        1,494,946          2,069,865          4,284,490          5,124,494
Derivative instruments              1,733                4,646               16,326               10,628
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investiments pledged as collateral for loans and financing          (323,456)            (257,111)         (1,885,981)         (1,309,918)
Net debt        1,173,223          1,817,400          2,414,835          3,825,204

30. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The table below describes the plans which the Company and its subsidiaries sponsor with the respective types of benefits.

Plan Type (1) Entity Sponsor
PBS-A BD Sistel Vivo and Vivo Participações (after the merger of Telemig), together with the other companies originated from the privatization of the rmerly Telebrás System

PAMA BD Sistel Vivo and Vivo Participações (after the merger of Telemig), together with the other companies originated from the privatization of the rmerly Telebrás System

PBS BD VisãoPrev Vivo and Vivo Participações (including merged company Telemig)

VIVO PREV Hybrid VisãoPrev Vivo
TCOPREV Hybrid VisãoPrev Vivo
VISÃO Hybrid VisãoPrev Vivo
CELPREV Hybrid Sistel Telemig (including merged company Telemig)
(1) BD = Defined Benefit Plan;
(1) Hybrid Plan = A benefit plan that offers both structured benefits by way of defined benefits, as well as defined contributions. Only the assets and liabilities relating to the portion of defined benefits of these plans are stated in the reconciliations in compliance with CVM Resolution no. 600.

The Company and Vivo, 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; 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.

Vivo 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.

• Vivo, through its actuarial consultants, has prepared studies considering the impact of ordinary action no. 04/081.668-0, brought by ASTEL against Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social, in which Telefonica and Telesp Celular (a company that was merged into Vivo) are mentioned, in addition to SISTEL, which action is related to the re-enrollment with PAMA of retired and assisted employees whose enrollment was suspended due to default and restoration of the basis for assessment of contributions on the total and gross value of the payroll of all the Company’s employees. Based on the opinion of its legal consultants, the Management believes that at this time there is no payment risk, and at September 30, 2010 the chance of loss was classified as possible. At September 30, 2010 the amount in question was R$1,804 (R$1,517 at December 31, 2009).

Vivo Participações (including merged company Telemig) individually sponsors a defined retirement benefits 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 (including merged company Telemig) also sponsors the CelPrev, a defined contribution 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 on 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 in the plan within 90 days after the effective date of the CelPrev.

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

The unrealized actuarial gains and losses referring to the defined benefit plans and hybrid benefit plans, in addition to the limits on surplus recoverability due to refunds or reduction in future contributions, are being immediately recognized as other comprehensive income, not generating any impact on the operating profit of the Company and of Vivo.

Actuarial provisions relating to the plans mentioned above are recorded in "Other liabilities" (Note 20) or “Prepaid Expenses” (note 8), as applicable.

37. EARNINGS PER SHARE

In compliance with CPC 41 (approved by CVM Resolution no. 636 – Earnings per share), the Company presents below the earnings per share information for the nine-month periods ended at September 30, 2010 and 2009.

The basic calculation for the earnings per share is effected by dividing the net profit for the period, attributed to the holders of common and preferred shares of the controlling company, by the weighted average number of outstanding common and preferred shares during the same period.

The per share diluted profit is calculated by dividing the net profit attributed to the holders of common and preferred shares of the controlling company, by the weighted average number of common and preferred shares, respectively, which would be issued in the conversion of all the potentially diluting common and preferred shares into their respective shares.

For the nine-month periods ended at September 30, 2010 and 2009, there is no difference between the calculation of the basic and of the diluted per share profit due to the nonexistence of potentially diluting common shares.

The table below shows the calculations of the basic and diluted per share profit.
