EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF REAIS, EXCEPT AS INDICATED OTHERWISE
1 | Business context |
Aracruz Celulose S.A. ("Aracruz", "Company" or "Parent Company") -- based in Aracruz, in the State of Espírito Santo (ES), with plants located in the States of ES, Bahia (BA) and Rio Grande do Sul (RS) - was founded in 1967 and is engaged in the production and sale of bleached short-fiber eucalyptus pulp. The pulp is produced from reforested timber tracts, mainly from the Companys own forests, with annual installed production capacity of 3,210 thousand tons. Of this total, 2,330 thousand tons are turned out from the mill in Barra do Riacho (ES), 430 thousand tons from the RS mill and 450 thousand tons relating to its 50% stake in Veracel Celulose S.A., which runs the mill located in Eunápolis, BA, with total installed production capacity of 900 thousand tons per year.
Aracruz owns 50% of the capital stock of Veracel Celulose S.A. (Veracel), with the other half being held by the Swedish-Finnish group Stora Enso.
The Companys operations are integrated with those of its subsidiaries, associated and affiliated concerns, which operate in the following areas: (i) distribution of products on the international market [Aracruz Trading S.A., Aracruz Celulose (USA), Inc., Aracruz Trading International Commercial and Servicing Limited Liability Company (Aracruz Trading International Ltd.) and Riocell Limited], (ii) port services (Portocel - Terminal Especializado de Barra do Riacho S.A.), (iii) forestation and reforestation of eucalyptus trees (Aracruz Riograndense Ltda. and Mucuri Agroflorestal S.A., the latter under a loan for use agreement), (iv) manufacture of solid wood products (Aracruz Produtos de Madeira S.A.), (v) consulting services and international trading activities [Ara Pulp - Comércio de Importação e Exportação, Unipessoal Ltda. (Ara Pulp)] and (vi) pulp production (Veracel).
Due to the increase in the performance of port services to third parties and to the associated company Veracel, the need arose to carry out work to expand, revamp and enhance the Barra do Riacho Private Terminal.
The project for expansion of the Guaíba Mill has already been approved by the Board of Directors, and purchase agreements have already been signed or tracts committed for sale involving more than half the lands involved.
On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired Boise Cascade do Brasil Ltda., currently denominated Aracruz Riograndense Ltda., for the amount of US$ 47 million, equivalent to R$ 74,952. This company, whose industrial activities had been discontinued, owns assets comprised of forested areas (of which 10.2 thousand hectares are planted with eucalyptus trees, with 6.3 thousand hectares belonging to third parties), buildings, equipment and industrial plant.
The acquisition aimed to meet the demand for expansion of the Companys forest base related to the project for expanding the Guaíba Unit, and the funds are part of the forest investments approved by Aracruzs Board of Directors.

On August 13, 2008, the CVM approved by Deliberation No. 547/08, the Technical Pronouncement CPC No. 03 of the Accounting Pronouncements Committee.

As permitted by Deliberation No. 547/08, the Company intends to adopt such pronouncement for its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008 and, as a consequence, certain nomenclatures currently in use may be altered.

The primary objective of this new law is to updated corporate legislation to permit the process of converging the accounting policies adopted in Brazil with those contained in international financial reporting standards (IFRS). It calls for new accounting norms and procedures to be issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM in conformity with IFRS. The principal modifications can be summarized as follows:

Mandatory requirement for companies to periodically analyze the recoverability of the amounts booked under property, plant & equipment, intangible assets and deferred charges, in order to ensure that: (i) the loss due to non-recoverability of such assets is recorded as a result of decisions to discontinue activities relating to such assets or when there is evidence that the results of operations will not be sufficient to ensure the realization of such assets; and (ii) the criterion used to determine the estimated remaining life span of such assets, in order to book depreciation, amortization and depletion, is reviewed and adjusted. This matter was already regulated by CVM Decision No. 527 of November 1, 2007. The Company has already conducted such an analysis and did not identify any adjustment. | ||
Requirement that investments in financial instruments, including derivatives, be booked: (i) at market value or equivalent in the case of investments in securities intended for trading or available for sale; and (ii) at cost or issue value, updated according to legal or contractual provisions, adjusted to probable realizable amount when this is lower. The Company has already complied with such determinations. | ||
Creation of a new sub-group of accounts, equity appraisal adjustments, under stockholders equity, to permit (i) booking of determined appraisals of assets at market price, chiefly financial instruments; (ii) direct booking under stockholders equity when so required by an accounting pronouncement; and (iii) adjustments of assets and liabilities to market value due to merger or amalgamation taking place between unrelated parties that are linked to the effective transfer of control. | ||
Introduction of the concept of adjustment to present value for non-current asset and liability operations and for material short-term operations. At present, the Company has no operation that would generate a significant effect of any adjustment to present value, | ||
Elimination of the possibility of booking: (i) a premium received upon issue of debentures; and (ii) donations and subsidies for investment (including tax incentives) directly as capital reserves in a stockholders equity account. This means that donations and subsidies for investments will be booked under results for the year or, depending on their characteristics, in a reducing account for assets or unearned income for amortization over the same period as the corresponding assets, when applicable, is depreciated. To prevent distribution as dividends, the amount of the donations and subsidies can be appropriated to a tax incentive reserve after they pass through income. At present, the Company has no such transactions. | ||
Elimination of the revaluation reserve. The balances existing in the revaluation reserve are to be maintained until such time as they are effectively realized or cancelled by the end of the year in which the law takes effect. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have revaluation reserves. | ||
Requirement for the assets and liabilities of a company to be merged upstream, resulting from transactions that involve amalgamation, merger or spin-off among independent parties and related to effective transfer of control, to be booked at market value. There has been no transaction during 2008 that would require such adjustment. | ||
Elimination of the materiality parameter for adjustment of investments in subsidiary and associated companies under the equity method and replacement of the parameter of 20% of the capital stock of the investee to 20% of the voting capital if the investee. This matter does not apply to the Company. | ||

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Based on its best understanding and on the accounting pronouncements already existing, as of the date of these financial statements, Company Management does not believe that the modifications introduced by Law No. 11.638/07 will have material effects on the Companys financial statements.
2.2 CVM Deliberation No. 534 of January 29, 2008
On January 29, 2008, the CVM issued Decision No. 534, which approves Accounting Committee Pronouncement No. CPC-02. This Decision took effect on the date of its publication in the Official Federal Gazette (D.O.U.) and applies to fiscal years ending as from December 2008. As provided by CVM Decision No. 534, this pronouncement does not apply to Quarterly Financial Information.
The objective of the CPC-02 pronouncement is to determine how to include foreign currency transactions and overseas operations in the financial statements of an entity operating in Brazil and how to convert the financial statements of an overseas entity to the reporting currency of the financial statements in Brazil for purposes of recording equity pick-up, full or proportional consolidation of financial statements, and also how to convert financial statements of an entity operating in Brazil to another currency. CPC 02 further introduces the concept of functional currency, a concept that was previously not observed by accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The Companys shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and are thus registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as a Foreign Private Issuer. Therefore, it is required to present financial statements as well in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). For US GAAP reporting purposes, the Company has determined that its functional currency is the United States Dollar (US$). Hence, this will be the functional currency upon adoption of the CPC-02. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects and actual adoption of the pronouncement in its financial position. Preliminary analyses indicate that there may be modifications in the balances of the Companys non-monetary assets, which will begin to be booked based on their historical formation costs, determined in US$, the corresponding depreciation, amortization and depletion of such assets, as well as results for the period and stockholders equity.
2.3 CPC 04 Intangible Assets
On April 25, 2008, the CVM issued Notice of Public Hearing No. SNC 03/2008 (Notice), submitting together with the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) to the Public Hearing (in the manner provided by Article 8, paragraph 3, item I, of Law No. 6.385 of December 7, 1976) the draft of the Decision that ratifies Pronouncement No. CPC 04 issued by the said committee entitled Intangible Assets.
The objective of this Technical Pronouncement is to define the accounting treatment for intangible assets that are not specifically covered in any other pronouncement. The new Pronouncement establishes that an entity is to recognize an intangible asset only if determined criteria specified in such Pronouncement are met. The Pronouncement also specifies how to calculate and measure the book value of the intangible assets and requires specific disclosures regarding such assets.

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(i) | The proportional deferred tax credits arising from accumulated tax losses for IRPJ purposes and negative results for CSLL purposes related to Veracel have been recorded as of September 30, 2008 backed up by economic viability studies approved by management bodies of that jointly-held company. The breakdown of the Veracel balances and their expectations for realization are itemized year to year through 2012, as prescribed by CVM Instruction No. 371/02, and detailed below: |
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 to 2012 | Total | ||||||
IRPJ | 753 | 2,686 | 2,433 | 8,284 | 14,156 | |||||

Total | 1,838 | 6,553 | 5,936 | 20,211 | 34,538 |
(ii) | The income tax and social contribution deferred on temporary differences are stated at net value. The principal temporary effects refer to (i) the effect of credit exchange variation calculated for the current year (system for calculating tax and social contribution on a cash basis exchange effects), (ii) market value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, (iii) non-deductible provisions and (iv) investments in rural activities. |
(iii) | Since the promulgation of Federal Complementary Law No. 87 of September 13, 1996, the Companys Espírito Santo plant has been accumulating ICMS credits, resulting from its predominantly export activity. Based on currently effective state legislation, the Company has managed to partially realize such credits withheld by the State of Espírito Santo through Sales operations. Considering the history of sales over the course of the year 2007, in the amount of approximately R$ 95 million, and further given prospects of satisfactorily concluding other negotiations in progress, the Company ranks as probable realization of part of the ICMS credits booked in its accounting records relating to the unit in this state. Therefore, as of December 31, 2007, it has reversed approximately R$ 71,070 of the respective provision for loss and now maintains the provision in the amount of R$ 314,067 as of September 30, 2008. |
Considering that Company's expectations for realization of such credits has not been confirmed as of September 30, 2008, a provision for loss in the amount of R$ 67,096 has been set up. | |
The amount of R$ 8,692 (R$ 7,083 as of June 30, 2008) at Aracruz, not covered by the provision for loss, chiefly refers to ICMS credits at the Guaíba Unit (RS), which the Company has been offsetting in the normal course of its operations. | |

9 | Advances to Suppliers Forest Producer Program |
The Forest Producer Program is a partnership with rural producers, initiated in 1990 in the State of Espírito Santo and expanded to other states, such as Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul and, more recently, Rio de Janeiro. The Program encourages the planting of commercial forests of eucalyptus trees, for which the Company provides technology, technical support, supplies and financial resources, depending on the type of contract, in order to ensure supply of wood for pulp production. As of September 30, 2008 advances of funds amounted to R$ 257,605 (Consolidated R$ 283,458), compared with R$ 254,936 (Consolidated R$ 283,458) as of June 30, 2008, which are recovered against the delivery of the wood by the producers.

10 Investments
(i) | Under the capitalization plan of Veracel, during the third quarter of 2008 capital increases were carried out in the amount of R$ 64,667 (R$ 41,968 during the second quarter of 2008). |
(ii) | Acquisition of Boise Cascade do Brasil Ltda. (Note 1); as allowed by CVM Instruction No. 469/08, the Company elected to book this acquisition by its book value. |
(iii) | The effect of the exchange exposure of overseas investments is registered under the heading "Equity result" and the overseas investments are translated under the method of the current exchange rate. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company registered positive exchange variation on these investments in the amount of R$ 169,610. |
(iv) | The goodwill paid on the acquisition of Veracel Celulose S.A., in the total amount of R$ 50,305, was based on the market value of assets and on estimates of future profitability of the business, in the amount of R$ 40,564, which was fully amortized through March 31, 2006. Goodwill attributable to assets is amortized based on the realization (depreciation/write-off) of the market value of such assets, whereas goodwill based on estimates of future profitability is amortized based on the utilization of planted eucalyptus areas. In the latter case, the amortization is appropriated to the cost of forest-growing and is recognized in income in the year in which the trees are felled. |
The goodwill referring to the lands, in the amount of R$ 9,742, continues pending amortization up to the time when the assets are realized. | |
Of the goodwill of R$ 839,305 arising on the acquisition of Riocell S.A. in 2003, R$ 276,422 was allocated principally to fixed assets, while the unallocated portion of R$ 562,883 (future profitability of the business) was transferred to deferred charges (Note 12). | |
The Consolidated balance of stakes in affiliated and jointly controlled companies, in the amount of R$ 16,772 (R$ 17,489 as of June 30, 2008), represents Aracruzs share in its affiliated company Aracruz Produtos de Madeira S.A. The portion of the goodwill relating to the market value of the assets is allocated to property, plant and equipment in the consolidated financial statements (proportional consolidation of Veracel). | |

In December, 2006, Aracruz signed a financing agreement with its stockholder, the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), in the total amount of R$ 595,869, of which R$ 460,270 has already been released. The loan is subject to interest varying between 7.18% and 8.18% p.a. and is to be amortized in the period from 2009 to 2016.

(b) | Export credit note |
In order to expand port facilities, in May 2006 the Companys subsidiary Portocel - Terminal Especializado de Barra do Riacho S.A., contacted an Export Credit Note operation in the amount of R$ 104 million (US$ 50 million), with interest equivalent to 100% of the CDI rate, semi-annual installments and payments of the principal between December 2008 and December of 2013. Also linked to this operation was the contracting of a DI x US$ swap transaction, with the same maturity terms and transformation of the interest rate into exchange variation + 5.985% p.a. As of September 30, 2008, the balance of the outstanding principal was R$ 99,237 (also R$ 99,237 as of June 30, 2008). | |
(c) | Export prepayment operations |
As of September 30, 2008 Aracruz had export prepayment operations underway with various banks, in the total amount of R$ 2,658,963 (R$ 1,733,579 as of June 30, 2008), with interest varying between 3.05% and 4.98% p.a., with semi-annual payments and maturity of the principal between September of 2011 and June, 2016. | |
(d) | Restrictive clauses (Covenants) |
As a result of provisions for losses set up in connection with operations involving derivative financial instruments (Note 14), Companys Management reviewed the restrictive clauses in contained in its loans and financing agreements and, based on its best judgment, has concluded that as of September 30, 2008, there have been no defaults of such contractual clauses. | |
14 | Management of Risks and Financial Instruments |
(a) | Risk management |
The Companys business is the sale of pulp, chiefly to foreign markets. The main market risk factors that affect its business can be enumerated as follows:
Credit risk (customers): the Company may incur losses because of financial difficulties of its customers, which could result in such customers being unable to pay their commitments to Aracruz. To reduce this risk, the Company has taken out an insurance policy and for customers not covered by such policy it adopts alternative tactics, such as upfront collections and the use of credit letters. Losses on uncollectible accounts receivable balances are recognized by means of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
In the quarter and nine-month period ended on September 30, 2008, respectively, two customers (not affiliated companies) each one of which represented 32% and 20% and 30% and 18% of our respective consolidated net revenue for those periods (32% and 14% and 30% and 15% for the quarter and nine-month period ended on September 30th, 2007, respectively). No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys consolidated net income.
Foreign currency risk: the Company may incur losses as a consequence of fluctuations in exchange rates, which impact invoiced nominal values or loans obtained in the market. To reduce this risk, the company has entered into derivative contracts (see item (c) below).

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The indebtedness and the results of the Company's operations are significantly affected by the exchange rate (U.S. dollar). Aracruzs foreign currency debt amounts to US$ 3,087,300 as of September 30, 2008 (R$ 1,888,809 as of June 30, 2008).
The Company exports 98% of its production of eucalyptus pulp. Consequently, revenues and accounts receivable related to these exports are denominated in U.S. dollars (see Note 5 for details on our accounts receivable with foreign customers).
Interest rate risk: the Company has loan agreements with floating interest rates. To mitigate the volatility risk in such rates, the Company uses fixed rate swap contracts, keeping a balance in its portfolio between fixed and floating interest rates.
(b) Market value of financial instruments
The market value of cash and equivalents and short-term investments, accounts receivable and current liabilities approximates the amounts reported in the balance sheet due to the fact that the due dates occurs on or close to the balance sheet date. Loans are updated based on interest rates floating in accordance with market conditions, and thus the loans and financing amounts reported on the balance sheet approximate market value.
(c) Operations with derivative financial instruments
Aracruz and its subsidiaries operate internationally and are exposed to market risks resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposure to risk of liabilities denominated in US Dollars is mitigated in part by operating revenues, almost totally derived from export sales.

Since there are no market quotations for the derivative contracts known as Sell Target Forward and Tied Transactions on Pre-payment Export Loans (over the counter transactions), the Company has estimated fair values for valid contracts as of September 30, 2008 using standard market methodology (in this specific case, Company Management elected to use the Monte Carlo model). This model takes into consideration, among other things, publicly available market-based information such as:
(i) | the interest rate curve; |
(ii) | exchange rate volatility estimated for each fixing date; and |
(iii) | the closing exchange rate observed as at September 30, 2008. |

Fair values estimated using other models or assumptions may result in different results. In cases for which differences were observed between the values estimated by the Company and the values provided by the banks as their estimates of Mark to Market (MTM), Aracruz Management reviewed its estimate and calculations, concluding, in accordance with the assumptions and the model used for this purpose, as to the reasonableness of the amounts so determined and recorded as of September 30, 2008. The fair value so estimated is valid only as of the date of these financial statements, and could change subsequently as a consequence of changes in exchange rates at later dates.

When the exchange rate at the fixing date is higher than the contracted Strike Price, Aracruz incurs a loss equivalent to double the difference in these exchange rates times the notional value as of that date. When the opposite happens, the Company enjoys a gain without any leverage. When Aracruzs accumulated gains on each contract are higher than either 40 or 50 cents in each US Dollar, depending on the contract, the contract is cancelled (Knock Out). For certain contracts, after an initial period, generally 3 months, the Strike Price is reduced in accordance with the conditions of each contract.
Out of the total STF contracts, there are only two where there is a provision for margin calls being made equivalent to the amount by which the fair values exceed US$ 30 million and US$ 5 million, respectively, and as of September 30, 2008 the fair value of the contracts is approximately R$ 43 million (equivalent to US$ 22 million) and R$ 47 million (equivalent to US$ 25 million), respectively. As of September 30, 2008, a margin deposit totaling R$ 24.2 million is booked under Derivatives in current assets.
The STF contracts as of September 30, 2008 are for an average term of 12 months and, in this period, the consolidated average monthly notional values approximate US$ 340 million (equivalent to R$ 651 million considering the quarter-end rate of R$ 1.9134/US 1.00) . The average Strike Price for these contracts is R$ 1.76 = US$ 1.00 at each monthly fixing.

Transactions tied to Pre-payment Export Loans |
Certain exchange contracts tied to Pre-payment Export Loans also have monthly dates for fixing the difference between the Strike Price and the US Dollar PTAX rate. These contracts were entered into in order to secure reduced interest charges on Export Loans. In the case of these contracts, Aracruz incurs a loss on each fixing date equivalent to the extent by which the Strike Price is lower than the US Dollar PTAX rate on that date. Any losses are settled monthly, but in this case the loss is not leveraged and therefore it is equal to the difference between the said rates times the contracted notional amount. There is no Knock Out clause in this type of contract, nor is there any reduction of the Strike Price over the term of the contract. The said Pre-payment Export Loans are for periods of up to 60 months, whereas the exchange contracts were contracted only for a period of 12 months, from July 2008 through September 2009.
The Statement of Operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 includes a provision for unrealized losses of in the amount of R$ 682,830 (Parent Company) and R$ 1,973,103 (Consolidated) on contracts for STF and for Tied Transactions with Pre-payment export loans still open as of that date. There were no such contracts in 2007. Unless there is early settlement of these contracts, the realization of these losses, which may or may not occur, depends principally on the exchange rate on the fixing date, among other factors, and would occur over the term of the contracts.
The contracts for Tied Transactions with Pre-payment Export Loans are for an average term of 12 months and, in this period, the consolidated average monthly notional values approximate US$ 180 million (equivalent to R$ 345 million considering the exchange rate of de R$ 1.9143/US$ 1.00) The average Strike Price for these contracts is R$ 1.90 = US$ 1.00 at each monthly fixing date.
Non-deliverable forward |
In the case of NDF operations, there is no monthly fixing and settlement between the parties, as the contracts are settled only at term by reference to the difference between the Strike Price and the PTAX exchange rate. The NDF short position contracts fall due in November 2008 and have an average Strike Price of R$ 1.71 = US$ 1.00. The NDF long position contracts for fall due in October 2008 and have an average Strike Price of R$ 1.92 = US$ 1.00.
Interest swap contracts: TJLP vs. US$ |
In order to protect its exposure to financing linked to the TJLP interest rate, the Company entered into Swap transactions, taking on an asset position of TJLP plus 2% and liability in US$ plus 4.53%, falling due in April 2010. The fair value is measured at the exchange rate as of the period end projecting the cash flow at the contractual rates and discounting the computed cash flow to present value at the interest rate ruling for similar transactions at the date.
Forward dollar contracts registered at BM&F |
Forward dollar contracts registered at BM&F are fixed and settled daily at the difference in the BM&F fixing rate on the day and that of the previous day. The contracts are standardized and fall due on the first working day of each month, and may be settled at any time with the purchase of contracts in the opposite position. Traditionally, the Company maintained its position on each due date due to the liquidity then prevailing in the market. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a long position registered at BM&F with a notional value of US$ 538 million (equivalent to R$ 1,029,893).

(b) | Dividends and interest on capital invested | |
Stockholders are assured by the Companys Bylaws of a minimum annual dividend equivalent to 25% of the Parent Companys net income, adjusted by any increases or decreases in the reserves, as defined in applicable corporate legislation. | ||
As permitted by Law No. 9249 of December 26, 1995, the Companys Management elected during the first nine months of 2008 and the year 2007 to pay interest on capital invested to the stockholders. This interest is calculated on the reported stockholders equity and is limited to the daily variation in the Long-Term Interest Rate - TJLP, amounting to R$ 155,000 (R$ 298,000 in 2007). | ||
Based on the Companys operating cash generating capacity and in addition to the interest on capital invested already declared, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Stockholders, which occurred on April 30, 2008, decided to distribute dividends for the year 2007 in the amount of R$ 200,000, which works out to R$ 202.18 per batch of one thousand Class A and B preferred shares and R$ 183.80 per batch of one thousand common shares. | ||
(c) | Treasury stock | |
As of September 30, 2008 the Company held in its treasury 483 thousand shares of common stock and 1,483 thousands shares of class B preferred stock, the market values for which as of that date were R$ 7.00 and R$ 6.73 per share, respectively. | ||
16 | Employee Postretirement Benefit Plan - ARUS |
The Aracruz Employee Pension Fund ARUS (Fundação Aracruz de Seguridade Social) is a private pension fund which operates in the form of a multi-sponsor fund on a non-profit basis. In September 1998, the previously existing pension plan was substituted by a defined contribution system for retirement (Arus Retirement Plan). | |
The Company sponsors ARUS and its total contribution in the third quarter of 2008 was R$ 1,741 (R$ 1,543 in third quarter 2007). | |
Should the sponsor withdraw from the Retirement Plan, the sponsors commitment made under Resolution No. CPC 06/88 (issued by the Brazilian Supplementary Retirement Benefits Council) is totally covered by the assets of the Defined Contribution Plan. | |
17 Insurance Coverage | |
Given the nature of its activities, the Company has adopted the policy of contracting insurance coverage to meet its requirements, taking into account the classic differences in risks (manufacturing plant, forests and port). Aracruz purchases insurance coverage -- based on a combination of systematic risk analyses together with modern insurance techniques -- in accordance with the maximum possible loss concept, which corresponds to the maximum amount subject to destruction in a single event. | |
As of September 30, 2008, the Companys assets were insured against losses for a total amount of approximately US$ 1.9 billion, corresponding to the maximum limit of indemnity per event. | |

18 | Provision for Contingencies and Legal Obligations Being Disputed in Court |
The juridical situation of Aracruz Celulose S.A. and its subsidiaries, jointly controlled and affiliated companies includes labor, civil and tax suits. Based on the representation of external legal counsel, Management believes that the appropriate legal procedures and steps taken in each situation are sufficient to preserve the stockholders equity of the Company and all its Subsidiaries, jointly controlled and affiliated companies, without additional provisions for loss on contingencies besides the amount recorded as of September 30, 2008. The consolidated breakdown of the balance of the provision for contingencies and legal obligations being disputed in court is as follows: | |

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION | |
The most significant labor claims are in respect of alleged salary losses due to inflation indices and economic plans imposed by past governments, fines of 40% of the accrued severance pay scheme (Guarantee Fund for Length of Service FGTS) and claims for additional compensation for alleged hazardous/unhealthy working conditions. | |
As of September 30, 2008, the Company maintained provisions in the total amount of approximately R$ 31,000 (Consolidated - R$ 37,000), in order to cover any unfavorable decisions in the labor area, as well as deposits in court in the amount of R$ 12,100 (Consolidated - R$ 24,400). | |
(b) | Brazilian Social Security Institute - INSS |
In March 1997, the Company received assessment notices from the Brazilian Social Security Institute - INSS relating principally to accommodation allowances. The inspectors took the view that the subsidized rentals constituted savings for employees and, hence, indirect salary benefits (remuneration in kind). As a consequence, the INSS inspectors argued, this process results in underpayment of the corresponding social security contributions. The Company filed a suit for declaratory judgment to challenge such assessments, with a view to cancellation of the notices, which amounted to approximately R$ 3,000. The Superior Court of Justice (STJ) has already ruled in favor of the Companys arguments in a Special Appeal filed in one of the suits. | |
As of September 30, 2008, the Companys deposits in court in relation to this case amounted to approximately R$ 3,600. Based on the advice of its legal counsel, as drawn up in a formal legal opinion, indicating that the likelihood of loss in this case is remote, no provision has been established for any unfavorable decisions. | |
(c) | PIS/COFINS |
The Company disagrees with the legitimacy of the claim for these taxes and filed for a court injunction against the changes in the bases for calculation of PIS and COFINS, as well as the increase in the COFINS rate, imposed by Law No. 9718/98. A preliminary injunction was issued in favor of the Company in November of 2001. Due to unfavorable court decisions for other taxpayers in similar lawsuits, on August 29, 2003 the Company decided to withdraw part of claims filed, and chose to adhere to the PAES program special payment in installments totaling R$ 56,241 created by Law No. 10684/2003, the current balance of which is approximately R$ 57,800, and maintained only the claims regarding exchange differences. | |
Notwithstanding the petition for waiver, in view of the decision rendered by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which ruled that the change in the basis for calculation of the PIS and COFINS is unconstitutional, the Parent Company filed for a Restraining Order to ensure its right not to pay over the PAES installments relating to such modification, and the petition was granted. The amount relating to the PAES installments that were not paid as a result of the cited court order, for the months from July 2006 through September of 2008, is roughly R$ 16,700, already updated according to the TJLP interest rate. | |
The amount at stake relating to exchange variation for the period from February 1999 to September 2003 is approximately R$ 172,900 as of September 20, 2008 (R$ 170,700 as of June 30, 2008), already adjusted to current price levels based on the SELIC interest rate, which is appropriately reflected in the provision for contingencies and legal obligations being disputed in court. | |
In September 2007, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, Company Management reversed the amount of approximately R$ 73,800 of the provision relating to the levying of such taxes on | |

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION exchange variation revenues, in view of the provisions contained in Article 150, paragraph 4, of the Brazilian National Tax Code (CTN). | |
Given decisions handed down by the STF in similar cases, recognizing the unconstitutionality of the modification in the base for calculation of the PIS and COFINS, which has been repeatedly followed by court and administrative jurisprudence, making the issue virtually a settled matter, Aracruz Management is convinced that the likelihood of loss in this case is remote. Nonetheless, due to the recent pronouncement of IBRACON, as of December 31, 2007, the Company adopted a conservative approach and reconstituted the portion of the provision previously reversed. | |
(d) | Social Contribution on Net Income Non-incidence on export revenues |
In September 2003, the Company obtained a restraining order that give it the right not to pay Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) generated by export sales, as well as the right to recognize the amounts of tax credits previously offset in this regard, adjusted by the SELIC rate, in the amount of R$ 234,100 as of September 30, 2008 (R$ 231,600 as of June 30, 2008), for which it maintains a provision. Aracruz is presently awaiting a decision on the appeal filed by the Federal Government. | |
(e) | IRPJ - Deductibility of Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) |
On June 29, 2005, the Company was assessed relating to deductibility of CSLL from taxable income for IRPJ purposes for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the existing provision for which was supplemented by the amount of R$ 3.6 million, bringing the total to R$ 38 million. | |
In July 2005, in view of the existing case law development, Aracruz decided to pay over the assessed amount, although it recalculated the basis for calculation thereof, arriving at the amount of R$ 24.4 million. The Company filed an administrative challenge to the balance of the amount assessed, and the assessment was upheld at the first administrative level. The Company has appealed this decision and is awaiting judgment. In addition, it has maintained the lawsuit questioning the alleged non-deductibility. | |
(f) | IRPJ/CSLL Full offset of accumulated tax losses and negative results |
On June 29, 2005, the Company was assessed regarding full offset of accumulated tax losses (NOLs) for IRPJ purposes and negative results for CSLL purposes for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, as well as relating to the full offset, in fiscal year 2000, of the tax loss generated during the period it enjoyed the export tax benefit known as the BEFIEX. The Company challenged the assessment at the first administrative level but it was upheld. Aracruz thus appealed this decision and in June 2008 obtained a favorable decision at the Finance Ministrys Taxpayers Council (CCMF), which unanimously ruled that the assessments drawn up by the tax authorities were groundless. | |
As a consequence of the latter decision, the Company, corroborated by its external legal counsel, deemed that the probability of loss of such provision for contingency is remote. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2008, the provision relating to interest and fine, with positive impacts on the Companys results, is in the amount of R$ 29,928 and R$ 14,416 in the financial expense and other operating expenses, respectively. | |

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION | ||
On October 20, 2006, the Company received assessment notices from the Espírito Santo State Treasury Secretary in the amount of R$ 75.8 million, dealing basically with failure to comply with accessory obligations and unduly taking credits for the State Value-Added Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) on assets for use in operations, supplies and fixed assets. The Company elected to make payment of part of the amount assessed and challenged the total amount of R$ 75.5 million, of which R$ 11.6 million has already been ruled in the Companys favor. In March of 2008 the Company was served process in tax foreclosure cases arising from three assessment notices where the courts ruled contrary to Aracruzs interests, in the amount of R$ 58.5 million, and filed its appeals. Based on the opinion of its external legal counsel, which ranked the probability of loss in court as being somewhere between remote and possible, no provision has been set up to cover any unfavorable decisions. | ||
(h) | Civil Public Suits Eucalyptus forest tracts in the State of Grande do Sul | |
In 2007 a number of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the Federal Public Prosecution Office in the State Rio Grande do Sul filed two Civil Public Suits questioning the validity of the procedures adopted by State Environmental Protection Agency - FEPAM in issuing environmental licenses for eucalyptus plantations in that state. A restraining order was initially granted, determining that FEPAM should cease issuing environmental licenses for planting eucalyptus tracts, with jurisdiction thus being passed on to IBAMA (the Brazilian Environmental Institute). The order was suspended by the Federal Court of the 4th Region at the request of the State Government. The Company believes that such suspension will be confirmed by the courts definitive decision on the merits of the case. Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, who evaluate the probability of loss in the courts as no more than possible, no provision has been recognized. The Company cannot precisely estimate the amount involved in these claims. | ||
(i) | Other tax cases | |
Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, the Company further maintains a provision for other tax contingencies where the likelihood of loss is ranked as probable in the total amount of R$ 28,700 (R$ 35,200 Consolidated relating to tax and civil cases involving the subsidiaries and jointly controlled company). For these other contingencies, the Company has on deposit in court the amount of approximately R$ 23,000 (Consolidated R$ 24,000). | ||
19 | Tax Incentives - ADENE | |
Since Aracruz is located within the geographic area of ADENE (Agency for the Development of the Northeast) and inasmuch as Decree No. 4213 of April 16, 2002 recognized pulp and paper sector as a priority in the development of the region, the Company claimed and was granted the right by the Federal Revenue Service (SRF) in December of 2002 to benefit from reductions in corporate income tax and non-refundable surcharges on adjusted operating profits for plants A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012). This right was granted after ADENE approved the respective reports. | ||
On January 9, 2004, the Company received Official Letter No. 1406/03 from the Extrajudicial Administrator of the former Northeast Development Agency (SUDENE), informing that pursuant to re-examination by the Juridical Consultancy of the Ministry for Integration as regards the coverage of the cited incentive granted, it considered that it was inappropriate for Aracruz to enjoy the benefit previously granted and accrued, which caused revocation thereof. | ||

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During 2004 and 2005, notifications aimed at annulling the related tax benefits were issued by ADENE and repeatedly challenged and/or contested by the Company, although so far no definitive court decision has been issued in relation to the merits of the case.
Nevertheless, in December 2005 an Assessment Notice was drawn up against the Company by the SRF, in which the latter government agency required payment back to public coffers of the amounts of the tax incentives used so far, plus interest, albeit without imposition of any fines, for a total amount of R$ 211 million. The Company filed a challenge against this assessment, which was upheld at the first administrative level. Aracruz further appealed against the latter decision and, in September of 2008 the CCMF partly accepted the assessment made by the tax authorities, so that the Companys right to use the tax incentive up to the year 2003 has been accepted. The same did not apply in relation to the year 2004, so there still remains an assessment in the amount of R$ 47 million. The Company is presently waiting formal publication of this decision so that it can file a further appeal regarding application to the year.
Company Management, in conjunction with its legal counsel, believes that the decision to cancel the ADENE tax benefits in December 2005 is incorrect, both with respect to the benefits used and in relation to the remaining period. As regards the benefits used through 2004 (R$ 142,858 as of December 31, 2004, recorded under Capital Reserve), Management believes, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, that the requirement to pay the tax has no substantive basis, given that the Company used the benefits strictly within legal parameters and in conformity with acts carried out by the SRF and Reports issued by the ADENE. With respect to the rest of the benefit periods, which extend through 2012 (mill C) and 2013 (mills A and B), respectively, Management and its legal counsel believe it is illegal to revoke benefits that were granted on condition of compliance with pre-established conditions (implementation, expansion or modernization of an industrial undertaking), and that such acquired rights to enjoy same are ensured until the end of the periods set forth in the Law and in the administrative acts granting the benefits.
Despite its firm conviction as to the solid grounds for its rights, in light of the series of events that occurred in the years 2004 and 2005, indicating intent on the part of ADENE and SRF to cancel the tax benefits, the Company decided to adopt a conservative approach and interrupt the recording of the tax benefits as from 2005, until such time as a definitive court decision is reached.
The probability of loss in relation to the tax benefits already taken through 2003 is ranked as remote by Management and its legal counsel. With respect to the tax benefits already taken in 2004 and those to be taken as from 2005, the likelihood of loss is ranked as possible and, as a result, no provision has been set up in regard to this matter.

(a) Acquisition of chemical products | ||
Linked to the sale of the electro-chemical plant to Canexus Química Brasil Ltda. (Canexus) in 1999, the Company and Canexus signed a long-term contract for the supply of chemical products by Canexus, which was revised in 2002 to include additional volumes. Under the clause of this contract guaranteeing the purchase of minimum volumes, the Company is committed to buying a conservatively projected volume of chemical products. Volumes purchased by the Company in addition to the agreed-upon minimum for a given year may be compensated with lower volumes acquired in subsequent years. For purchases in volumes below those agreed upon, the Company has to pay the utility margin provided by the contract. The Company has these volume commitments until December 2008, under the amendment to the contract signed in 2002. | ||
(b) | Supply of wood | |
The Company signed a contract with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. with a view to a loan of 1,700 thousand m³ of eucalyptus wood, which were received through September of 2005. The remaining balance as of September 30, 2008 is 448 thousand m³ (667 thousand m³ as of June 30, 2008) of eucalyptus wood and, based on its present forest formation costs, the Company has booked the amount of R$ 4,752 (R$ 7,065 as of June 30, 2008) under liabilities. The contract calls for return of an equivalent volume on similar operating conditions during the year 2008. | ||
On August 8, 2008, the Company signed a new contract with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. with a view to a loan of 400 thousand m³ of eucalyptus wood to be received by February of 2009. The balance received so far is 230 thousand m³ and, based on the current costs for formation of forests and tree harvesting, Aracruz booked the amount of R$ 7,197 under liabilities. The contract calls for return of an equivalent volume on similar operating conditions as from July 2010. | ||

04.01 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED QUARERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In first half 1998 the Company and the Associations of Indian Communities entered into Terms of Settlement (TACs) whereby both parties recognized the legitimacy of Administrative Rulings Nos. 193, 194 and 195, all dated March 6, 1998, issued by the Federal Ministry of Justice, which determined the enlargement of the Indian reservation by 2,571 hectares of land belonging to the Company. Aracruz committed itself to a financial aid program to be implemented through social, agricultural, educational, shelter and health projects, up to an amount of approximately R$ 13,500 (historical amount), monetarily restated each month by one of the official inflation indices (General Market Price Index IGP-M or Consumer Price Index IPC) or such other index as may replace them in the future, whichever is greater. The amount of this financial assistance was to be disbursed over a 20-year period, conditioned to the accomplishment of certain clauses and terms. Despite the TACs in force, during the year 2005 members of the Associations of Indian Communities invaded some forestry areas and the Companys industrial premises. Since the invasion represented breach of the TACs by the Indian communities, the Company -- after having notified the communities themselves, the National Indian Foundation - FUNAI and the Federal Public Prosecutor -- suspended all commitments to the Indian communities under the TACs as of May 2005.
Up to May, 2005, in relation to the time the TACs were being complied with, the Company had donated the amount of R$ 9,597 to the Associations of Indian Communities.
On February 17, 2006, FUNAI published Decisions Nos. 11 and 12 in the Official Federal Gazette (D.O.U.), approving the conclusion of a working group set up by FUNAI Administrative Ruling No. 1299/05, which recommended expansion of the current Indian reserves by about 11,000 hectares, comprised almost entirely of lands owned by Aracruz. The working group identified such lands as being traditionally occupied by the Indian communities. As it was confident of the legitimacy of its rights, the Company filed a challenge to such Decisions on June 19, 2006. At the beginning of 2007, the Federal Minister of Justice, which has the authority to decide the matter, returned the administrative process to FUNAI, determining that more in-depth studies should be conducted with a view to preparing an appropriate proposal that reconciled the interests of all parties concerned. On August 27, 2007, through Administrative Rulings Nos. 1.463 and 1464, the Ministry of Justice accepted the conclusions of the Working Group set up by FUNAI Administrative Ruling No. 1299/05 and determined expansion of the Indian territories by 11,000 hectares, of which 98% or around 10,700 hectares corresponded to lands owned by Aracruz.
The dispute for land involving Aracruz Celulose and the Indian communities of Espírito Santo came to a conclusion at the end of 2007. On December 3, the final Term of Settlement (TAC) was signed at the Ministry of Justice covering the rights and obligations of each party (Aracruz, the Indian communities and FUNAI) in the process of transferring approximately 11,000 hectares of lands to the Indian communities and assuring that all the eucalyptus wood planted in the area (amounting to around 6,800 hectares of forests) will be felled and removed by the Company by way of indemnity for the improvements made. Expansion of the Indian reservations further requires ratification by decree to be signed by the President of Brazil and subsequent demarcation of lands, at which time effective transfer of ownership will take place.
The agreement, which has been followed up on by all the authorities participating in the negotiation process, including the Brazilian Government Attorney and FUNAI (the agency that will be in charge of hiring an independent firm to physically demarcate the lands) calls for both parties to waive from any present or future actions in this regard. This waiver is to be ratified by the Federal Courts in the City of Linhares - ES.
Prior to signature of the final TAC, the terms thereof were submitted to a vote by the Indian communities and approved at a general meeting held on October 16, being further ratified by them

Aracruz considers the settlement a sustainable solution that seeks equilibrium among the parties involved, to the extent that it makes it feasible for the Indian communities to expand their lands and provides the Company with the legal security that such lands will not be expanded in the future.

Subsequent Events (a) Reorganization |
On September 14, 2008 an announcement was made of an agreement between Company stockholders for transfer of their shares into a company set up to maintain joint control over both Aracruz and Votorantim Celulose e Papel S.A. (VCP). This agreement has been conditioned to acquisition by VCP of approximately 28% of the Companys common shares owned by Arapar S.A. (Arapar"). As previously announced, such transactions were to occur by October 6, 2008. The announcement stated the intent of such stockholders to integrate the Companys activities with those of VCP. On October 3, 2008 VCP made it public that the steps required for conclusion of the operation for acquisition of the shares of Aracruz held by Arapar are still in the phase of implementation and that the closing date for the operation has been postponed. The Companys interim financial information as of September 30, 2008 does not reflect any modifications that may occur as a result of making such plans a concrete reality.
(b) Exchange volatility |
The Company and its subsidiaries operate internationally and are thus exposed to market risks resulting from changes in the quotations of foreign currencies. Any external movement in the exchange rate for the Real with respect to the US$ may have a material effect on the amounts at which the Companys dollar-denominated assets and liabilities are realized on subsequent dates. As of September 30, 2008 the Real was quoted at the rate of R$ 1.9143 = US$ 1.00, with such quotation rising to R$ 2.3924 = US$ 1.00 as of October 8, 2008, subsequently dropping to R$ 2.1854 = US$ 1.00 on October 16, 2008 (closing PTAX for that date). The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 have been prepared according to accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which require that foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities be monetarily updated based on the quotation of the respective foreign currencies as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the quarterly financial information does not reflect the effects of changes in exchange rates subsequent to the balance sheet date.

(i) Net debt is not an official financial indicator under Brazilian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (BRGAAP) and does not represent the cash flow for the period indicated. Furthermore, it should not be used to replace cash flow as an indicator of liquidity or measure of cash generation. Calculation of net debt does not have a standard definition and should not be compared with the net debt of other companies. In addition, the Company believes that some investors and financial analysts use net debt as an indicator of liquidity and financial leverage.

17.01 SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT - UNQUALIFIED |
(Convenience Translation into English of original previously issued in Portuguese)
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT To the Directors and Stockholders of Aracruz Celulose S.A. Aracruz - ES |
1. | We have reviewed the accounting information included in the accompanying interim financial statements of Aracruz Celulose S.A. (Company and Consolidated) for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2008, consisting of the balance sheets, the related statements of operations, cash flows and value added, the performance report and the related notes, prepared under the responsibility of the Companys management. |
2. | Our review was conducted in accordance with specific standards established by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (IBRACON), together with the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and consisted, principally, of: (a) inquiries of and discussions with certain officials of the Company and its subsidiaries who have responsibility for accounting, financial and operating matters about the criteria adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements; and (b) review of the information and subsequent events that have, or might have had, material effects on the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. |
3. | Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accounting information included in the interim financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 for them to be in conformity with standards established by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), specifically applicable to the preparation of the interim financial statements, including CVM Instruction No. 469. |
4. | As mentioned in Note 2.1, on December 28, 2007 Law No. 11.638 was enacted and took effect as from January 1, 2008. This Law altered, revoked and introduced new provisions in the Brazilian Corporation Law (No. 6.404/76) and introduced changes in accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Such changes have been adopted by the Company in preparing the Quarterly Financial Information mentioned in paragraph 1 above. |
Although the mentioned Law has already taken effect and been applied by the Company based on guidelines issued by the CVM and/or the norms issued by the International Accounting Standards Board IASB, the major alterations introduced by it depend on regulation on the part of Brazilian regulatory agencies. Accordingly, the accounting information presented may require adjustments during the course of regulation of Law No. 11.638/07. | |
5. | The accompanying interim financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil. |
