Comments on the Company’s Consolidated Performance
Economic and Sector Scenario
The global economic recovery is gaining strength. According to the IMF, the prospects for 2011 and 2012 are improving and GDP growth in emerging and developed countries is expected to average 2.5% and 6%, respectively. Capital and trade flows between emerging and developed nations are moving up and both business and consumer confidence are increasing.
Despite the overall optimism, however, inflation is a growing concern for governments in many emerging markets. The upturn in commodity prices has been higher than expected, reflecting a strong growth in demand and reduced supply.
- USA:
The U.S. economy continues to recover in 2011. The IMF expects annual GDP growth of 2.8% and believes financial conditions in general are improving despite scarce credit and the deleveraging of the property market. The low level of corporate debt and easier access to bank loans, not only for major corporations, but also for small and medium enterprises, has had a positive impact on business confidence.
Also according to the IMF, U.S. capital flows are back to pre-crisis levels and are mostly directed to the emerging economies. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the Consumer Price Index in March 2011 increased by 0.5% over the previous month and 2.7% over March 2010, basically due to the surge in commodity and gasoline prices.
According to the Federal Reserve, interest rates in March 2011 stood at 0.25%, having remained at that level since December 2008.
The IMF believes more attention should be given to lowering the projected deficit in 2011. Although measures to reduce maintenance costs and investments have contributed to this end, much broader initiatives, such as an overhaul of the tax and social security system, will be needed to substantially reduce the deficit in the medium term.
Although the creation of new jobs has increased, unemployment remains high, with more than 13.5 million people out of work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while the Treasury Department reported an unemployment rate of 8.8% in March 2011, 0.6 p.p. down on the 9.4% reported in December 2010.
- Europe:
Europe’s economy has been marked by huge disparities between the various countries in terms of economic and industrial performance. Germany continues to head the growth rankings, with a strong industrial growth and increasing exports. On the other hand, the Portuguese, Spanish, Greek, Irish and Italian governments have had to cut spending drastically and increase taxes.
Although economic activity moved up at the beginning of 2011 following the seasonal slump in the final three months of last year, and job market conditions improved due to the expansion of the private sector, unemployment is still high, at 9.5%.
During the crisis, the European Central Bank maintained interest rates at 1% p.a. in order to fuel consumption and stimulate the economy. At its last meeting, however, it raised interest to 1.25% in order to curb inflation, which is expected to reach 2.6% in 2011, according to the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries (EUROFER) estimates.
The IMF expects GDP growth of 1.6 and 1.8%, respectively, in 2011 and 2012.

- Asia:
The Chinese government’s priorities in 2011 are controlling the public deficit and inflation. In the last six months, it has implemented a series of measures to stem rising prices, such as increasing interest rates and imposing stricter lending criteria. It also introduced measures to ensure that banks retain more capital, thereby reducing the surge in loans and financing. Interest rates are now 6.31% for one-year loans following two Central Bank hikes.
On the FX front, the yuan has appreciated by around 5% since the third quarter of 2010. As a result, the IMF estimates 2011 GDP growth of 9.7%, accompanied by a 3.1% upturn in inflation.
There are also some challenges to be overcome related to the environmental deterioration given the unbridled growth of the big urban centers, the need to create jobs for around 200 million rural workers who have migrated to the cities and the need to expand and diversify electric power infrastructure.
In mid-March, Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami that destroyed the north and northeast of the country. The true depth of the losses is still unknown, but the World Bank estimates a figure of between US$120 and US$230 billion, or between 2% and 4.5% of Japanese GDP.
Since the catastrophe, the Central Bank of Japan (BOJ) has injected around €330 billion into the economy in order to increase market liquidity, avoid investor panic and prevent a slide on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Recently, the IMF reduced its 2011 GDP growth estimate from 1.6% to 1.4%.
- Brazil:
Following exceptionally strong growth in 2010, the economy is likely to record a more moderate upturn in 2011,according to the Central Bank’s Focus report.
The government has adopted a series of fiscal and monetary measures in an attempt to reduce domestic liquidity and contain the credit expansion, aiming to curb household consumption and restrain inflation, which the Focus report indicates is already approaching the 6.5% ceiling stipulated by the Central Bank.
At its last meeting, the COPOM (Monetary Policy Committee) decided to raise interest rates by 25 bps to 12% p.a. This is the third increase this year and there may well be more. In its communiqué, the Bank states that this long-term measure is designed to ensure convergence with the 2012 target of 4.5%.
Despite expectations of a controlled economic downturn in 2011, business confidence remains high. According to the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), March’s industrial confidence index remained stable when compared to January 2011 at 112.4 points. Similarly, the FGV’s capacity use index remained at 84% between January and March.
The job market also remains strong. According to CAGED (the employed and unemployed registry), 281,000 new registered jobs were created in February, 34% up year-on-year and the highest ever February figure.
According to IPEA (Institute of Applied Economic Research), industrial output grew by 2.2% in the first two months of 2011 despite increased costs due to the elevated exchange rate. The market expects the dollar to close the year at US$1.65.

CSN’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices, issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), pursuant to CVM Instruction 485 of September 1, 2010.
Net Revenue
Consolidated net revenue totaled R$3,789 million in 1Q11, 19% up on the R$3,185 million posted in 1Q10, chiefly due to higher iron ore prices and sales volume, and 10% more than in 4Q10, basically thanks to the upturn in domestic steel product sales volume.
Cost of goods sold (COGS)
In 1Q11, consolidated COGS totaled R$2,233 million, 16% more than the R$1,929 million registered in 4Q10, primarily reflecting the increase in steel product sales volume.
In year-on-year terms, consolidated COGS grew 25% over the R$1,781 million recorded in 1Q10, basically due higher iron ore sales volume.
Selling, General, Administrative and Other Operating Expenses
In the first quarter, SG&A expenses totaled R$241 million, 14% down on 4Q10, chiefly due to the reduction in freight and general services expenses. In the 12-month comparison, SG&A expenses dropped by 23%.
CSN recorded a net expense of R$125 million in the “Other Revenue and Expenses” line in 1Q11, a R$55 million improvement over the previous quarter, basically due to non-recurring expenses with provisions for environmental contingencies in 4Q10, partially offset by additional REFIS payments. In annual terms, SG&A expenses fell by R$9 million.
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this report comprises of net income before the financial result, income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization and other operating revenue (expenses), the latter item being excluded due to its non-recurring nature. Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1,529 million in 1Q11, 19% up on the R$1,289 million recorded in 1Q10, while the adjusted EBITDA margin remained flat at 40%. In relation to the previous quarter, adjusted EBITDA increased by 6%, while the margin decreased by 2 p.p.

Version: 1 |
Financial Result and Net Debt
The 1Q11 net financial result was negative by R$518 million, chiefly due to the following factors:
§ Provisions for interest on loans and financing totaling R$545 million;
§ Negative monetary and foreign exchange variations of R$93 million, including the result of derivative operations;
§ The monetary restatement of tax provisions totaling R$42 million.
These negative effects were partially offset by returns on financial investments and other financial revenue/expenses, totaling R$162 million.
On March 31, 2011, the consolidated net debt stood at R$10.7 billion, R$0.8 billion more than the R$9.9 billion recorded on December 31, 2010, essentially due to the following factors:
§ Investments of R$0.8 billion in fixed assets;
§ A R$0.5 billion effect related to the cost of debt;
§ The acquisition of bonds for trading and sale, totaling R$0.8 billion.
These effects were partially offset by 1Q11 adjusted EBITDA of R$1.5 billion.
The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio closed 1Q11 at 1.62x, based on LTM adjusted EBITDA of R$6.6 billion, 0.07x up on the 1.55x ratio recorded at the end of the previous quarter.
In February 2011, CSN contracted a Special Corporate Credit – Major Corporations loan from Caixa Econômica Federal through the issue of a R$2.0 billion bank credit bill, maturing in 94 months.
Consolidated Net Income
CSN posted 1Q11 net income of R$616 million, 37% up on 4Q10, chiefly reflecting the improved operating results in the steel and mining segments and the reduction in G&A expenses and “Other Revenue and Expenses”.
In year-on-year terms, net income improved by 38%.

Steel
Brazilian Scenario
According to the Brazilian Steel Institute (IABr), 1Q11 consolidated production totaled 8.5 million tonnes of crude steel and 6.4 million tonnes of rolled flat steel, 6.2% and 2.0% up, respectively, on the same period in 2010.
Domestic steel product sales came to 5.3 million tonnes in the first quarter, a 5.6% year-on-year improvement, while exports jumped by 39.2% to 2.8 million tonnes.
Steel product imports totaled 866,200 tonnes, 34.3% down on 1Q10.
As a result, apparent consumption of steel products in the Brazilian market came to 6.2 million tonnes in the first three months of the year.
Segments
Automotive:
According to ANFAVEA (the auto manufacturers’ association), vehicle output reached record levels in 1Q11, increasing by more than 7.9% over 1Q10, when the IPI (federal VAT) discount was still in force.
Despite the restrictive measures that squeezed credit supply, vehicle sales climbed by 4.8% year-on-year (also according to ANFAVEA), reaching 825,300 units, a new record.
The auto industry posted revenue of US$3.27 billion, 25.8% more than in 1Q10.
ANFAVEA estimates 2011 production of 3.68 million vehicles, higher than last year and yet another record.
Construction:
The construction sector should maintain the strong growth pace of recent quarters, favored, as before, by the population’s higher average income, the expansion of the government’s housing programs, the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. According to a survey by FGV/SEBRAE, the construction sector will absorb R$22.8 billion of the R$30 billion allocated to the World Cup budget.
However, there are obstacles to this growth, one of the main ones being higher costs, chiefly due to the shortage of skilled labor. In fact, the increase in costs has already impacted the Market Construction Price Index (INCC-M), which climbed by 1.21% in the first quarter.
Despite the credit restrictions, the volume of housing financing agreements continued to move up – Caixa Econômica Federal alone granted loans totaling R$14.7 billion in 1Q11.
According to a survey by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), sector businessmen are optimistic in regard to activity levels in the coming months.
SINDUSCON-SP (the São Paulo building industry association) and the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) estimate sector growth of 6% in 2011.

Mining
Scenario
The first three months of 2011 were marked by conflicts in the Middle East, earthquakes, tsunamis and floods in Australia, all of which had a direct impact on the iron ore and steel markets and some of which will continue to be felt for some time.
The prospects are still positive, with iron ore demand continuing to outstrip supply until 2014. After this, supply is likely to move up as the new ongoing projects progress and Chinese steel output begins to level off.
Despite the Chinese government’s adoption of restrictive measures to curb economic growth, CRU believes the country will still respond for a major slice of the mining market thanks to its urbanization process, which has resulted in massive domestic consumption. According to the World Steel Association (WSA) and CRU, Chinese iron ore imports should reach 895 million tonnes in 2015.
In the short term, strong seasonal demand, punctured by supply breaks, may push spot prices up from their current US$180/t to US$190/t, also reflecting rapid demand growth in the emerging markets, high-cost production in China and infrastructure bottlenecks in the new mining projects.
According to the current pricing scenario, the basic Platts price (62%Fe CFR) should reach US$179.26 in 2Q11, 20% up on 1Q11. Given the current level of global consumption, the prospects for the coming quarters are promising for both prices and sales volume.
In 1Q11, Brazil’s iron ore exports remained stable over the same period last year at 71 million tonnes, but fell by 18% over 4Q10 due to the normal first-quarter seasonal supply restrictions.
Analysis of Results
CSN’s mining segment comprises the mining and sale of iron ore (the Casa de Pedra mine and a 60% interest in Namisa) in addition to port terminal operations (Tecar) and tin (ERSA).
Iron ore sales
In 1Q11, CSN and Namisa’s total sales of finished iron ore products to third parties amounted to 6.6 million tonnes1, 17% and 3% up on 1Q10 and 4Q10, respectively. Of this total, exports accounted for 6.2 million tonnes, with 3.7 million tonnes sold by Namisa.
The Company’s own consumption absorbed 1.7 million tonnes in 1Q11.
Considering CSN’s 60% interest in Namisa, sales came to 5.1 million tonnes in 1Q11, 23% up on 1Q10 and 15% up on 4Q10.
Net Revenue
Net revenue totaled R$1.2 billion in 1Q11, 9% up on 4Q10, due to higher sales volume, and 167% more than in 1Q10, reflecting the price and volume upturn.
Cost of goods sold (COGS)
COGS came to R$436 million in 1Q11, 32% more than in 4Q10, reflecting the mix of products sold. In comparison with 1Q10, COGS jumped by 129%, due to higher sales volumes.
Adjusted EBITDA
First-quarter adjusted EBITDA totaled R$792 million, virtually identical to the 4Q10 figure, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA margin of 65%, down by 6 p.p., basically due to the above-mentioned upturn in COGS.
In comparison with 1Q10, however, adjusted EBITDA climbed by a massive 196% and the adjusted EBITDA margin widened by 6 p.p., due to higher prices and volumes in 1Q11.
1 Sales volumes include 100% of the stake in NAMISA.

2. SUMMARY OF MAIN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
(a) Preparation basis
The consolidated quarterly financial information was prepared and presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and respective rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the quarterly financial information.
The individual quarterly financial information was prepared according to the technical pronouncement issued by Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPCs), and rules issued by Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the quarterly financial information.
The preparation of the quarterly financial information in accordance with IFRS and BR GAAP requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and also the judgment by the Company’s management team in the process to apply the Company’s accounting policy. Those items requiring a higher judgment level and having greater complexity, as well as the items where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated quarterly financial information, are being disclosed on the notes to this report and refer to the allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for inventory losses, provision for labor, civil, tax, environmental and social security liabilities, depreciation, amortization, depletion, provision for impairment, deferred taxes, financial instruments and employees benefits. Actual results may differ com these estimates.
The financial statements are presented in thousands of reais (R$). Depending on the applicable IFRS pronouncement, the measurement criterion used in the preparation of the quarterly financial information considers historical cost, net value of realization, fair value, or recovery value. When IFRS and CPCs allow for the option between acquisition cost or other measurement criterion (for instance, systematic re-measurement), the acquisition cost criterion was applied.

In the preparation of the consolidated quarterly financial information, the following consolidation procedures have been adopted:
Unrealized gains in transactions with subsidiaries, jointly-owned subsidiaries and affiliated are eliminated according to CSN’s share in the entity in question in the consolidation process. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, however only to the extent there is no reduction to the recovery value (impairment). The reference date of the quarterly financial information of the subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly-owned subsidiaries is the same as of the parent company and their accounting policies are in line with the policies adopted by the Company.
· Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are considered all entities (including special-purpose entities), whose financing and operating policies may be carried out by the Company, where usually there is a share ownership of more than a half of voting rights. The existence and the effect of potential voting rights, which are currently exercisable or convertible, are take into consideration by evaluation if the Company controls other entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as of the date when the control is transferred to the Company and are no longer consolidated as of the date when the control ends.
· Affiliated companies
Affiliated companies are all entities where the Company holds a significant influence, but not the control, usually jointly with a share ownership of 20% to 50% from voting rights. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity method and initially are recognized by their cost value. Company’s investment in affiliated companies includes goodwill recognized from the business acquisition, plus the investors´ share at retained post-acquisition profits and others changes in the net asset value, reduced by any accumulated impairment loss.
· Jointly-owned subsidiaries
The quarterly financial information of jointly-owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated quarterly financial information as of the date when the shared control starts until the date the shared control no longer exists. Jointly-owned subsidiaries are proportionally consolidated.
· Parent Company quarterly financial information
In the parent company quarterly financial information, the subsidiaries and jointly-owned subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method. The same adjustments are made both in the parent company quarterly financial information and in the consolidated quarterly financial information. Considering CSN, accounting practices adopted in Brazil applied in the parent company quarterly financial information differ from the IFRS applicable to the separated financial statements, only through the valuation of investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies by the equity method of accounting while according to IFRS it would be cost or fair value.

(c) Foreign currencies
i. Functional and reporting currency
Items included in the quarterly financial information of each one of the Company’s companies are measured using the currency of the main economic environment, where the company operates (“functional currency”). Consolidated quarterly financial information is presented in R$ (reais), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s reporting currency.
ii. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency operations are converted into the functional currency, using foreign exchange rates effective on the transaction or evaluation dates, when items are remeasured. Exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of these transactions and the conversion by foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2010, related to monetary assets and liability in foreign currencies, are recognized on the statement of income, except when recognized in shareholders’ equity as a result of foreign operation monetary items characterized as foreign investment nature.
Balance accounts of assets and liabilities are converted by the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, on March 31,2011, US$1 corresponding to R$1.6287 (R$1.6662 on December 31, 2010) EUR 1 corresponding to R$2.3129 (R$2.2280 on December 31,2010) and JPY 1 corresponding to R$0.01961 (R$0.0205 on December 31,2010).
All other exchange gains and losses, including exchange gains and losses related to loans, cash and cash equivalents are presented on the statement of income as income or financial expense.
Changes to fair value of monetary securities in foreign currency, classified as available for sale, are split into foreign exchange variations related to the security’s amortized cost and other variations to the security’s book value. Foreign exchange variations of amortized costs are recognized in the statement of income, and other variations in the security’s book value are recognized in shareholders’ equity.
Exchange variations from non-monetary financial assets and liabilities, for instance, investments in shares classified as measured at fair value through income statement, are recorded under result as part of fair value gain or loss. Exchange variations of non-monetary financial assets, for example, investments in shares classified as available for sale, are included in the comprehensive income under shareholders’ equity.

iii. Group Companies
Results and financial position of all of the Group’s entities (none of them has currency from a hyperinflationary economy), whose functional currency is different from the reporting currency, are converted into the reporting currency, as follows:
Under the consolidation, exchange rate differences resulting from the conversion of monetary items of investment in foreign operations are recognized in shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange rate differences registered in other comprehensive income are recognized in the statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments of immediate liquidity, redeemable in up to 90 days from the balance sheet dates, immediately convertible into cash and with an insignificant risk of change in their market value. Deposit certificates that may be redeemed at any time without penalties are considered cash equivalents.
(e) Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, including the respective taxes and ancillary expenses and credits from clients in foreign currency corrected at the exchange rate as of the date of the quarterly financial information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded in an amount considered adequate to support possible losses. Management’s assessment takes into account the client’s history, the financial situation and the opinion of our legal advisors regarding the receipt of these credits for the recording of this provision.
(f) Inventories
These are recorded at the lowest value between the cost and the net realizable value. The cost is determined using the average weighted cost method in the acquisition of raw materials. Cost of both finished and under preparation products consists of raw material, labor, other direct costs (based on the normal production capacity). Net realization value is the sale price estimated on the normal course of business, net of estimated conclusion costs and estimates costs necessary to carry on the sale.

(g) Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, jointly-owned subsidiaries and affiliated companies are recorded and measured by the equity accounting method and recognized initially by the cost. Gains or losses are recognized in income for the period as operating income (or expenses) in the parent company quarterly financial information. In the case of exchange variation of investment abroad whose functional currency is different to the Company’s currency, variations in the amount of investments deriving solely from the exchange variation are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account, in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, and are only reclassified to income statement when the investment is sold or written-off by loss. Other investments are recorded and held at cost, or fair value.
When necessary, the accounting practices of the subsidiaries and jointly-owned subsidiaries are changed to ensure criteria, consistency and uniformity with the practices adopted by the Company.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Registered by acquisition, formation or construction costs, net of accumulated depreciation or depletion and reduction to recoverable value. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method based on the economic useful life remaining from assets according to Note 12 and depletion of mines is calculated based on the amount of ore extracted, and plots of land are not depreciated in view that are considered as undefined useful life. The Company records in the book value of property, plant, and equipment, the replacement cost, by writing-off the book value of the portion that has been replaced, if it is probable that future economic benefits incorporated therein will be reverted to the Company, and if the asset cost may be estimated reliably. All other expenses are registered to the expense account when incurred. Loan costs related to funds raised for work in progress are capitalized until these projects are concluded.
If some components of the assets from property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, these components are depreciated as a different item from property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses from disposal are determined by the comparison of the sale value less the residual value and are registered in “other operating income/expenses”.
Development costs of new iron ore fields or to expand the capacity of operating mines are capitalized and amortized by the method of units produced (extracted) based on probable and proven ore amounts. Exploitation expenditures are deemed as expenses until the mining activity is made feasible; after this period, the subsequent development costs are capitalized.
(i) Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise of assets acquired from third parties, including by means of business combinations, and/or those internally generated.
These assets are recorded at the acquisition or formation cost, less amortization calculated through the straight-line method based on exploitation or recovery terms.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as well as goodwill for expected future profitability, are not amortized.

· Goodwill
Goodwill is represented by the positive difference between paid and/or payable value for the purchase of a business and the net amount of fair value of assets and liabilities of the subsidiary acquired. The goodwill from acquisition of subsidiaries is recorded as intangible asset in the consolidated quarterly financial information. In the parent company balance sheet, the goodwill is included in investments. Negative goodwill is recorded as gain in the result for the period, on the acquisition date. Goodwill is annually tested for impairment. Impairment losses recognized over goodwill are irreversible. Gains and losses from the disposal of a Cash Generating Unit (CGU) include goodwill book value relating to the CGU sold.
Goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs) for the purpose of impairment test. The allocation is made for Cash Generating Units or groups of Cash Generating Units, which should benefit from the business combination goodwill came from, and the unit is not larger than the operational segment.
· Software
Software licenses purchased are capitalized based on incurred costs to buy software and to make them ready to be used. These costs are amortized by the straight-line method during the estimated economic useful life.
(j) Impairment of non-financing assets
Assets with an undefined useful life, such as goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested on an annual basis to verify impairment. Assets subject to amortization are reviewed to impairment verification whenever events or changes to circumstances show that book value may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is accounted for by book value of the asset exceeding its recoverable value. This last one is the highest value between an asset fair value net of sale costs and its value in use. For the purposes of impairment valuation, assets are divided into the lowest levels to which there are inflow identifiable cash flows separately (Cash Generating Units (CGUs)). Non-financial assets, except goodwill, which have been impaired, are subsequently reviewed to analyze a possible impairment reversal on the reporting date.
(k) Employee Benefits
i. Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contribution to a separate entity (social security plan) and it will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional values. Liabilities for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are accounted for as employee benefit expenses to the result in the periods where services are provided by employees. Contributions paid in advance are recorded as an asset upon the cash repayment condition or the decrease in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan whose maturity is expected for 12 months after the final period where the employee provides the service are discounted to their present values.

Version: 1 |
Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than the defined contribution plan. The Company’s net liability as to defined benefit pension plans is individually calculated to each plan through the value estimate of the future benefit employees accounted for as return by services provided for in the current period and previous periods; that benefit is discounted at its present value. Any costs of unregistered previous services and fair values of any plan assets are discounted. Discount rate is the return shown on the reporting date of the quarterly financial information to first-tier debt securities, whose maturity dates are close to the Company’s debt conditions and that are denominated in the same currency in which benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is made on an annual basis by a qualified actuary through the project unit credit method. When calculation results in a benefit to the Company, asset to be recorded is limited to total of any unrecognized previous services costs and the present value of economic benefits available as future refund of the plan or decrease in future contribution to the plan. In order to calculate present value of economic benefits, a consideration is given to any minimum costing requirements applied to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the plan’s life, or in the settlement of the plan liabilities.
When benefits of a plan are increased, the increased benefit portion relating to employee’s previous service is registered in the result by the straight-line method during the average period until benefits become vested. Under the condition that benefits become immediately vested, expense is instantly recorded under result.
The Company chose to account for all actuarial gains and losses resulting from defined benefit plans directly in other comprehensive income.
ii. Profit sharing and incentive compensation
Profit sharing of employees is subject to achieving certain operating and financial targets, mainly allocated to the production cost when applicable and to general and administrative expenses.
(l) Provisions
Provisions are registered when: (i) the Company has a present liability either legal or acquired resulting from past events, (ii) it is likely to have a future disbursement to settle a present liability, and (iii) when the value may be estimated with reasonable safety. Provisions are determined by discounting future cash flows expected based on a discount rate before taxes that shows a market valuation of the cash value in time and, where appropriate, specific liability risks. The liability increase due to time is recorded as financial expense.
(m) Concessions
The Company has governmental concessions and payments are classified as operating lease.

(n) Capital Stock
Common shares are classified under shareholders’ equity.
Additional costs directly attributed to the issue of new shares or options are stated in shareholders’ equity as a deduction of the amount raised, net of taxes.
When any company of the group buys shares from the Company’s capital stock (treasury shares), the value paid, including any additional costs directly chargeable (net of income tax), is decreased from the shareholders’ equity ascribed to the Company’s shareholders until shares are cancelled or issued again. When these shares are subsequently issued again, any amount received, net of any additional costs of the transaction, directly chargeable and respective income tax and social contribution effects, it is included in the shareholders’ equity ascribed to the Company’s shareholders.
(o) Operating revenue
The revenue from the sale of goods in the normal course of operations is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable The operating revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that the significant risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer; it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, that the associated costs and the possible return of goods can be measured reliably; the entity does not retain continuing involvement with the goods sold and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be reliably measured, then such discounts are recognized as a reduction of operating revenue as sales are recognized. Service revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
The transfer of risks and rewards is determined by the individual terms of the contract of sale. For export sales, the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership depend on the terms of delivery set out in the incoterms governing the contract.
(p) Financial income/expenses
Financial income includes interest income on funds invested funds (including financial assets available for sale), dividend income (except for dividends received from investees stated under the equity method in the parent company), gains on sale of financial assets available for sale, gains and losses arising from the change in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging derivatives that are recognized in income. Interest income is recognized in income (loss) using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in income when the Company’s right to receive the dividend is established. The dividend distributions received from investees recorded under the equity method reduce the investment amount.
Financial expenses include borrowing costs, net of the discount to present value of provisions, dividends on preferred shares classified as liabilities, losses in the fair value of financial instruments measured at the fair value through income statement, impairment losses recognized in the financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in the income statement. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are measured in the income statement using the effective interest method.

Version: 1 |
Exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
(q) Income tax and social contribution
Income tax and social contribution for current and deferred year are calculated at the rate of 15%, plus a surtax of 10% on taxable income exceeding R$240, and at the rate of 9% on taxable income for the social contribution on net income. Tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforward are offset, limited to 30% of the taxable income.
Income tax and social contribution expense comprise current and deferred tax. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in shareholders’ equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date of the quarterly financial information and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred taxation is recognized on temporary differences arising between the book values of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and corresponding amounts applied for tax purposes. Deferred taxation is not accounted for on the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences related to investments in subsidiaries and controlled entities when it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax liability is not recognized for taxable temporary differences resulting in the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred taxation is calculated using the rates that are expected to apply to the temporary differences when they are reversed, based on the laws that were enacted or substantively enacted until the financial statement reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be netted if there is a legal right to offset the current tax asset and liability amounts and they relate to the same taxing authority.
A deferred income tax and social contribution asset is recognized by unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences when it is probable that future income subject to taxation will be available and against which they will be used.
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at each reporting date and will be reduced as their realization is no longer probable.
(r) Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated through the net income for the period attributable to the Company’s controlling shareholders and the weighted average of the common shares outstanding in the respective period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated through the said average of the outstanding shares, adjusted by instruments potentially convertible into shares, with a diluting effect, in the reporting periods. The Company does not have instruments potentially convertible into shares and, consequently, diluted earnings per share are equal to basic earnings per share.

(s) Environmental costs and restoration of areas
The Company recognizes a provision for recovery costs and fines when a loss is probable and the amounts of related costs can be reliably determined. Usually, a provision in the amount to be used in the recovery in the amount is recorded until the feasibility study is completed or the commitment to a formal action plan is fulfilled.
Expenses related to compliance with environmental regulations are charged to income (loss) or capitalized, as appropriate. The capitalization is considered as appropriate when the expenses refer to items that will continue to benefit the Company and that are basically pertinent to the acquisition and installation of equipment to control pollution and/or prevention.
(t) Research and development
All these costs are recognized in the statement of income when incurred, except when they meet the criteria for capitalization . Expenses on the research and development of new products for the period ended March 31, 2011 was R$1,312 (R$886 on March 31, 2010).
(u) Financial instruments
i) Classification
Financial assets are classified in the following categories: measured at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The Company’s Management sets forth the classification of its financial assets at the initial recognition.
· Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are financial assets held for active and frequent trading. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading and, therefore, are classified in this category, unless they have been recorded as cash flow hedge. Assets in this category are classified as current.
· Loans and receivables
This category includes loans granted and receivables that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed payment or to be established, not priced at an active market. They are included as current assets, except those with a maturity term greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date (these are classified as noncurrent assets). Loans and receivables comprise loans to affiliated companies, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents, excluding short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are recognized by fair value. Loans and receivables are accounted for at the amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)
ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
· Financial assets held to maturity
They are basically financial assets acquired with the financial purpose and financial capacity to be held in portfolio until maturity. Investments held to maturity are firstly recognized by value added by any directly attributable transaction costs. After their initial recognition, these are measured at the amortized cost through the effective interest rate method, decreased by any impairment loss.
· Financial assets available for sale
These are non-derivative financial assets designated as available for sale that are not classified in any other category. They are included in noncurrent assets when they are the Company’s strategic investments, unless Management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Financial assets available for sale are recorded at fair value.
ii) Recognition and Measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, i.e., on the date Company undertakes to buy or sell the asset. The investments are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs for all the financial assets not classified at the fair value through income statement. Financial assets at fair value through income statement are initially recognized at their fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are written off when the rights to receive cash flow from the investments expire or are transferred; in the latter case, provided that the Company has transferred significantly all the risks and rewards of the ownership. Financial assets available for sale and the financial assets measured at fair value through income statement are subsequently recognized at fair value. Loans and receivables are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through income statement are presented in the income statement under financial income in the period when they occur. Revenue from dividends of financial assets measured at fair value through income statement is recognized in the income statement as part of other financial income, when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.
The changes in the fair value of financial assets denominated in foreign current and classified as available for sale, are divided between the conversion differences resulting from the changes in the amortized cost of the financial assets and other changes in the financial assets’ book value. The exchange rate changes in financial assets are recognized in income statement. The exchange rate changes in non-financial assets are recognized in shareholders’ equity. The changes in the fair value of financial and non-financial assets, classified as available for sale are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Interest on available-for-sale securities, calculated under the effective interest rate method, is recognized in the income statement as other income. Dividends of shareholders’ equity’s instruments available for sale, such as shares, are recognized in the income statement as part of other financial income, when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

The fair value of publicly quoted investments is based on current purchase prices. If the market of a financial asset (and bonds not listed on the stock exchange) is not active, the Company establishes fair value through valuation techniques. These methods include the use of transactions recently contracted with third parties, reference other instruments that are substantially similar and an analysis of discounted cash flows and option pricing models that optimize the use of market generated information and minimize the use of information provided by the Company's management.
The Company measures at the balance sheet date if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of available-for-sale bonds, a significant or long decrease in the fair value to below its cost value is an indicator that it is impaired. If there is any evidence of impairment of available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between cost of purchase and the current fair value, less any impairment loss for the financial asset previously recorded in income, is transferred from shareholders' equity and recognized in the income statement. Impairment losses recognized in the income statement of equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.
· Offsetting financial instruments
A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when an entity has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
· Impairment of financial assets
Assets measured at the amortized cost
The Company evaluates at the end of each reporting period if there is objective evidence that the financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. An asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and the impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as the result of one or more events occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be measured reliably.
The criteria CSN uses to determine if there is objective evidence of impairment loss include:
· relevant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
· a contract breach, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
· the issuer, for economic or legal reasons related to the financial difficulty of the borrower, guarantees the borrower a concession that the creditor would not consider;
· it is likely that the borrower will undergo bankruptcy or another financial reorganization;
· the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties; or
· observable data indicating that there is a measurable reduction in estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets, since the initial recognition of these assets, although the reduction still cannot be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
- Adverse change in the payment situation of the borrowers in the portfolio;
- National or local economic conditions that relate to the default on the portfolio’s assets.
The amount of loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest. The book value of the asset is written down and the amount of loss is recognized in the income statement. If a loan or investment held to maturity has a variable interest rate, the discount rate to measure an impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined pursuant to the agreement. The Company may measure impairment based on the fair value of an instrument using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the impairment loss is reduced and the reduction can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the impairment was recognized (an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the impairment loss reversal will be recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Assets classified as available for sale
At the end of each reporting period, CSN assesses whether there is objective evidence of a deteriorated financial asset or group of financial assets. For debt notes, CSN utilizes the criteria mentioned above. For equity instrument (shares) classified as available for sale, a material or extended drop in the fair value of the asset below its cost is also evidence that assets are deteriorated. Should any such evidence exist for financial assets available for sale, the accumulated loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss over the financial asset previously recognized in the income statement, will be reclassified from shareholders’ equity and recognized in the income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases, and such increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment was recognized as loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement.
iii) Derivatives instruments and hedge activities
· Foreign exchange gain of long term investment nature
Any gain or loss of the instrument related to the effective portion is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The gain or loss related to the non-effective portion is immediately recognized in the statement of income under “Other net gains (losses)”.
Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the statement of income when foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
· Derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss
Some derivative instruments are not qualified for hedge accounting. Changes in fair value of any of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in the statement of income under “Other net gains (losses)”. Although the Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes, it does not apply hedge accounting.

(v) Segment information
An operational segment is a Group component committed to the business activities, from which it can obtain revenues and incur in expenses, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with any other Group component. All operating income from operational segments are regularly reviewed by CSN’s Executive Board for decision-making about funds to be allocated to the segment and performance evaluation, to which there is distinctive financial information available (see Note 26).
(w) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable safety that the Company will comply with related conditions and that grants will be received and then systematically recognized in the income statement during the periods in which the Company recognizes as expense corresponding costs that grants intend to offset.
The Company has state tax incentives in the North and Northeast regions, which are recognized in income as corresponding costs and expenses reduction.

("Big Jump"), whose shareholders are the companies Posco and Brazil Japan Iron Ore Corp (Itochu Corporation, JFE Steel Corporation, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd., Kobe Steel Ltd., Nisshin Steel Co. Ltd., Nippon Steel). Subsequently to this sale, Big Jump subscribed new shares, paying in cash the total of US$3,041,473 thousand, corresponding to R$7,286,154 thousand, R$6,707,886 thousand of which were recorded as goodwill at the subscription of the shares.

Version: 1 |
Such shareholders’ agreement provides that certain extreme deadlock situations among shareholders, not solved after mediation and negotiation procedures among executive officers of the parties, may entitle CSN to exercise the call option and Big Jump to exercise the put option related to Big Jump’s shareholding in Namisa.
Other agreements executed to implement said partnership, among them the share purchase agreement and the long-term operating agreements between Namisa and CSN, provide for certain affirmative covenants, if neither complied with nor remedied within estimated terms, in certain extreme situations, may entitle the aggrieved party to exercise the put option or the call option, where applicable, related to Big Jump’s interest in Namisa.
Continuing the restructuring process of Namisa, on July 30, 2009, the jointly-owned subsidiary merged its parent company Big Jump Energy Participações S.A.. Now Posco and Brazil Japan Iron Corp. hold a direct interest of 39.99% in Namisa. This merger did not change CSN’s shareholding structure.
· MRS LOGÍSTICA
The Company’s main purpose is to explore, by onerous concession, the public rail cargo transport service in the right of way of the Southeast network, located in the stretch connecting Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A. - RFFSA, privatized on September 20, 1996. In 2008, CSN paid in Namisa 10% of its interest in MRS, and decreased this direct interest from 32.93% to 22.93%.
In addition to this direct interest, the Company also holds an indirect interest of 6% through Nacional Minérios S.A. – Namisa, a proportionally consolidated company, and 4.34% through International Investment Fund.
MRS may also explore modal transportation services regarding the rail transport and take part in developments aiming at the extension of rail transport services granted.
To provide the services which are the purpose of the concession obtained for a 30-year period, as from December 1, 1996, and extendable for another equal period at the exclusive discretion of the grantor, MRS leased from RFFSA, for the same period of the concession, the assets necessary to operate and maintain rail cargo transportation activities. When concession is extinguished, all the leased assets will be transferred to the possession of the railway operator designated in that same act.
· ITÁ ENERGÉTICA S.A. - ITASA

Itasa holds a 60.5% interest in the Itá Consortium, which was created for the exploration of the Itá Hydroelectric Power Plant pursuant to the concession agreement of December 28, 1995, and its Addendum 1 dated July 31, 2000, entered into between the consortium holders (Itasa and Centrais Geradoras do Sul do Brasil - Gerasul, formerly called Tractebel Energia S.A.), granted by the Federal Government, by means of the Brazilian Agency for Electric Energy (ANEEL), to mature in October 2030.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
I - Identification and appraisal of financial instruments
The Company operates with several financial instruments, from which the most relevant are funds available, including financial investments, securities, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable to suppliers and loans and financing. In addition, the Company also operates with derivative financial instruments, especially exchange swap and interest rate swap operations.
Considering the nature of instruments, the fair value is basically determined by using market prices in Brasil and abroad and prices at the Commodities and Futures Exchange. The amounts recorded in current assets and liabilities either have acid test ratio or are mostly due in three-month periods or less. Given the term and characteristics of these instruments, which are systematically renegotiated, book values are close to fair values.

-Fair value measuring
Financial instruments recorded at their fair value require the disclosure of fair value measurement in three hierarchical levels:
· Level 1: prices stated (unadjusted) in current markets for identical assets and liabilities
· Level 2: Other information available, except for that of level 1, which is noticeable to assets or liabilities, directly (such as prices) or indirectly (resulting from prices).
· Level 3: Not available information due to little or none market activity, which is significant to set assets fair value.
The table below shows financial instruments recorded at fair value, using the evaluation method:

II – Fair values of assets and liabilities in relation to book value
Amounts that are accounted for in the quarterly financial information by their book value are substantially similar to those which would be reached in case they were traded in the market. Fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their book values, except for the amounts below.
The estimated fair value for consolidated long-term loans and financing was calculated at market rates in force, considering the nature, term and risks similar to those of registered contracts, compared below:

III – Investments in available-for-sale securities and measured at fair value through profit and loss
These mainly represent investments in shares acquired in Brazil and abroad from first-tier companies rated by international rating agencies as investment grade, which are recorded in non-current assets and gains and eventual losses are recorded in shareholders’ equity, remaining there until the effective realization of these securities, or when an eventual loss is deemed impaired.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are recorded under current assets and gains and eventual losses are recorded as financial income and expenses respectively.
IV - Financial risk management policy
The Company has and follows a risk management policy that provides guidance on the risks incurred by the Company. According to this policy, the nature and general position of financial risks is regularly monitored and managed with the purpose of evaluating results and the financial impact on cash flow. Credit limits and the quality of the counterparties’ hedge are also periodically revised.
The risk management policy was established by the Board of Directors. According to this policy, market risks are hedged when it is considered necessary to support the corporate strategy or when it is necessary to maintain the financial flexibility level.
Under the risk management policy, the Company manages some risks by using derivative instruments. The Company’s risk policy forbids speculative negotiations and short sale.

· Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Company might not have sufficient cash to honor its financial commitments, due to term or volume mismatch between receipts and expected payments.
In order to manage cash liquidity in domestic and foreign currency, disbursement and future receipts assumptions were established and are daily monitored by the Treasury. Payment schedules for long-term installments of loans, financings and debentures are presented in Note 14.
Below are the contracted financial liabilities maturities, including the payment of estimated interest.

· Exchange rate risk
The Company evaluates its exposure to exchange rate risk by subtracting its liabilities from its assets in US dollar, Euro and Yen, recording its net exposure to exchange risk, which is effectively the exposure risk in foreign currency. Therefore, in addition to accounts receivable from exports and investments abroad that are economically natural hedge instruments, the Company evaluates and uses several financial instruments, such as derivative instruments (swap, dollar x real, future exchange contracts) to manage its exposure to exchange rate variation risks of the real against U.S. dollar.
Policies for the use of hedging derivatives
The Company’s financial policy reflects the liquidity parameters, credit and market risk approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. The use of derivative instruments, with the purpose of preventing interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations from having a negative impact on the Company’s balance sheet and statement of income, should comply with the same parameters. Pursuant to internal rules, this financial investment policy was approved and is managed by the Board of Executive Officers.
As a routine, the Board of Executive Officers presents and discusses, at the meetings of the Board of Executive Officers and Board of Directors, the Company’s financial positions. Pursuant to the Bylaws, significant amount operations require previous approval by the Company’s Management. The use of other derivative instruments is subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors.
In order to finance its activities, the Company often resorts to capital markets, either domestic or international ones, and due to the debt profile it seeks, part of the Company’s debt is pegged to foreign currency, mainly to the U.S. dollar, which motivates the Company to seek hedge for its indebtedness through derivative financial instruments.

In order to contract financial instruments and derivatives with the purpose of hedge in compliance with the structure of internal controls, the Company adopts the following policies:
· continuous ascertainment of the exchange exposure, which occurs by means of the assessment of assets and liabilities exposed to foreign currency, within the following terms: (i) accounts receivable and payable in foreign currency, considering, inclusive, the maturity of assets and liabilities exposed to currency fluctuation;
· presentation of the financial position and foreign exchange exposure, as a routine, at meetings of the Board of Executive Officers and of the Board of Directors which approve this hedging strategy;
· contracting of hedge derivative operations only with first-tier banks, diluting the credit risk due to diversification of these banks;
The consolidated net exposure to the foreign exchange rate on March 31, 2011 is shown as follows:

· Real-U.S. Dollar Commercial Exchange Rate Futures Contract
It seeks to hedge foreign-denominated liabilities against the Real variation. The Company may buy or sell commercial U.S. dollar futures contracts on the Commodities and Futures Exchange (BM&F) to mitigate the foreign currency exposure of its US dollar-denominated liabilities. The specifications of the Real-U.S. dollar exchange rate futures contract, including detailed explanation on the contracts’ characteristics and calculation of daily adjustments, are published by BM&F and disclosed on its website (www.bmf.com.br). In 2011, the Company did not contract U.S. dollar futures operations. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company paid R$44,324 and received R$115,745 in adjustments, thus having a gain of R$71,421. Gains and losses from these contracts are directly related to the currency fluctuations.
· Exchange swap transactions
The company carries out exchange swap operations, aiming to protect its assets and liabilities of possible US dollar/Brazilian real fluctuations. Said exchange swap protection provides the Company, through the contract long position, FRA (Forward Rate Agreement) exchange coupon gain, which at the same time improves investment rates and reduces fundraising in the foreign market.
On December 31, 2010, the company held an exchange swap long position of US$1,282,000 thousand (US$1,049,500 thousand on March 31,2010), where it was received, from the long position, exchange variation over 2.47% per year on average (in 2010 exchange variation over 2.29% per year), and paid 100% of CDI in the exchange swap contract short position.
On March 31, 2011, the consolidated position of these contracts is as follows:

Basically, the Company realized financial derivatives of its assets in Euros, from which it will receive the difference between the exchange variation in U.S. dollars observed in the period, multiplied by the notional value (long position) and pays the difference between the exchange variation in Euros observed in the period, over the notional value in Euros on the agreement date (short position). These are over-the-counter Brazilian market operations, and first-tier financial institutions are the counterparties, contracted within exclusive funds.
On March 31, 2011, the consolidated position of these agreements was as follows:

Short and long-term liabilities are indexed to floating interest and inflation rates. Due to this exposure, the Company maintains derivatives to better manage these risks.
These transactions aim at hedging its liabilities indexed to the U.S. dollar Libor against fluctuations of Brazilian interest rates. Basically, the Company carried swaps of its Libor-indexed liabilities bearing 1.25% p.a. interest rates over the notional amount in U.S. dollars (long position) and paid 96% of the Interbank Deposit Certificate – CDI over the reference amount in reais on the contracting date (short position). The reference value of these swaps on March 31, 2011 is US$150,000 thousand, hedging an export prepayment operation of same amount. Gains and losses deriving from these contracts are directly related to the U.S. dollar fluctuations, Libor and CDI. These usually refer to operations on the Brazilian over-the-counter market having first-tier institutions as counterparty.

18. TAXES PAID IN INSTALLMENTS
a) Tax recovery program (Refis)
· Federal Refis
On November 26, 2009, CSN and its subsidiaries adhered to the Federal Tax Repayment Program (REFIS) introduced by Law 11,941/09 and Provisional Measure 470/09, in order to settle their tax and social security liabilities through a special settlement and installment payment system. The adhesion to special tax programs reduced the amount payable of fines, interests and legal charges previously due.
The Management’s decision took into account the matters judged by higher courts, as well as the evaluation of its external advisors as to the possibility of a favorable court decision for the lawsuits in progress.
In November 2009 and February 2010, companies recorded the adjustments necessary to be made in the provisions, as well as reductions in debits set forth in special programs, according to the waiver date of administrative appeals or legal proceedings. In 1Q10, those amounts corresponded to a negative effect before income and social contribution taxes of R$48,890 in the parent company and R$42,365 in the consolidated, which were recorded in other operating income and expenses and financial result (see Notes 24 and 25).
The new debit value after the application of reductions related to the tax program of Law 11,941/09 was offset with court deposits related to these lawsuits and is subject to validation by the proper authorities. The remaining balance will be paid in 180 monthly installments as of the consolidation of debits by the authorities.
As for debits recorded pursuant to Provisional Measure 470/09, these were paid in 12 installments as of November 2009. In July 2010, the Company chose to offset with the amounts of income and social contribution taxes loss carryforwards the last four installments of this tax recovery program, pursuant to the possibility set forth in the applicable legislation.
Respective authorities are examining the data presented by the Company with the purpose of consolidating the debits included in installment payments set forth by Provisional Measure 470/09.
In relation to the debts included in the installment payment program of Law 11,941/09, the Company is awaiting the consolidation by appropriate authorities, as per instructions of the Joint Ordinance RFB/PGFN 2/2011.
On March 31, 2011, the position of debits from Refis, recorded in taxes paid in installments in current and non-current liabilities was R$1,396,124 (R$1,410,062 on December 31, 2010) in the parent company and R$1,431,099 (R$1,444,207 on December 31,2010) in the consolidated.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The provisions for civil, labor, tax, environmental and social security liabilities were estimated by the Company’s Management substantially based on the opinion of its legal counsels, and only the cases classified as risk of probable loss were recorded. Additionally, the provisions include tax liabilities arising from actions taken on the Company’s initiative, plus SELIC (Special Settlement and Custody System) interest.
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in other judicial and administrative proceedings (labor, civil and tax) in the approximate amount of R$4,737,815 of which R$3,414,513 corresponds to tax proceedings, R$323,028 to civil actions and R$1,000,275 to labor and social security lawsuits. According to the Company’s legal counsels, these administrative and legal proceedings are assessed as possible risk of loss. These proceedings were not accrued in accordance with the Management’s judgment and with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
a) Labor proceedings
On March 31, 2011, the Company is defendant in 9,229 labor claims, with a provision in the amount of R$154,551 (R$146,175 on December 31, 2010). Most of the pleadings of the actions are related to joint and/or subsidiary liability, wage parity, additional allowances for unhealthy and hazardous activities, overtime and differences related to the 40% fine on FGTS (severance pay) resulting from the federal government’s economic plans, health plan, action for damages due to alleged occupational disease or accident and profit sharing differences from 1997 to 1999 and from 2001 to 2003.
b) Civil proceedings
Among the civil judicial proceedings to which the Company is defendant, there are mainly actions with indemnification request. Such proceedings, in general, arise from occupational accidents, diseases, contractual controversies, related to the Company’s industrial activities. A provision in the amount of R$53,423 on March 31, 2011 (R$54,113 on December 31, 2010) was recorded for proceedings involving civil matters.
Among the environmental administrative/legal proceedings in which the Company is defendant, these mainly refer to administrative proceedings aiming the verification of possible environmental irregularities and the environmental licenses regularization; at courts, there are collection suits of fines levied due to these irregularities and public civil actions requesting the regularization cumulated with indemnities, which include environmental restoration, in most of the cases. These proceedings usually derive from controversies related to alleged damage to the environment, concerning the Company’s industrial activities. On December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a balance of R$500 for environmental-related lawsuits.
c) Tax proceedings
§ Income and Social Contribution Taxes
(i) Plano Verão - The parent company claims the recognition of the financial-tax effects on the calculation of the income and social contribution taxes on net income, related to the 51.87% inflation write-down of the Consumer Price Index (IPC), which occurred in January and February 1989 (“Plano Verão”).

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
In 2004, the proceeding was concluded and a final and unappealable decision was reached, granting the right to apply the index of 42.72% (January 1989), from which the 12.15% already applied should be deducted. The use of the index of 10.14% (February 1989) was also granted. The proceeding is currently under expert examination.
On March 31, 2010 the Company recorded R$342,389 (R$341,551 on December 31, 2010) deposited in court and classified in a specific court deposit account in long-term receivables and provision of R$20,892 (R$20,892 on December 31, 2010), representing the portion not recognized in court.
(ii) Social Contribution on Net Income - Exports – In February 2004, the Company filed a lawsuit in order to be exempted from the social contribution payment on its export revenues/earnings, as well as obtaining a court authorization to be able to repeat/offset all social contribution values that had been improperly paid on export revenues/earnings since the publication of the Amendment 33/2001, which provided a new wording to Article 149, paragraph 2 of CF/88, when establishing that “social contributions will not levy on revenues resulting from exports”.
In March 2004, a preliminary injunction was issued, later confirmed in a court decision, which authorized the exclusion (of the CSLL calculation basis) only from the profit from exports.
Said decision was renewed by the 4th Panel of the 2nd Regional Federal Court (TRF), which overruled the writ claimed by the Parent Company. An Extraordinary Appeal was filed against this decision, whose progress was suspended until the Brazilian Federal Court (STF) renders a decision on the matter in the records of the Extraordinary Appeal 564,413 (leading case), in which the existence of a general rebound of this very constitutional issue was acknowledged.
In December 2008, the Company received a Collection Letter of the amounts referred to the exclusion of “revenues” on the CSLL calculation basis. Consequently, the Company’s Management approved the adhesion of the Collection Letter to the tax installment payment program set forth by Law 11,941/2009 (REFIS).
After decision rendered by Federal Supreme Court (STF) in the records of RE 564,413 (leading case) in contrary voting related to the non-levy of social contribution on exports to taxpayers, also pending of publication, the Company decided to also include this lawsuit to the installment payment program enacted by Law 11,941/09 (REFIS).
Up to March 31, 2011, the amount of suspended liability and the credits offset based on the aforementioned proceeding was R$443,208 (R$401,916 on December 31, 2010), plus Selic interest rate.
§ Contribution for intervention in the Economic Domain - CIDE
The parent company questioned the legality of Law 10,168/00, which established the payment of CIDE on the amounts paid, credited or remitted to beneficiaries not resident in Brazil, for royalties or remuneration purposes on supply contracts, technical assistance, trademark license agreement and exploration of patents.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The lower court decision was unfavorable, which was ratified by the 2nd Regional Federal Court (TRF). Appeals for Clarification of Judgment were filed, which were rejected, and an Extraordinary Appeal was filed at STF, which is awaiting decision as to its admissibility.
Due to adverse decisions and benefits from reduction of fines and interest rates, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adhesion of said litigation to the tax recovery program of Law 11,941/2009.
After having applied the benefits of this program, the Company also maintains judicial deposits in the amount of R$6,141, out of which R$2,895 refer to excess deposits after the application of REFIS reductions that may be offset with other debits discussed in court by the taxpayer or converted into income. On March 31, 2011, there is a provision in the amount of R$27,545 (R$27,545 on December 31, 2010), which includes legal charges.
§ Education allowance
The parent company challenged the unconstitutionality of the education allowance and the possible recovery of the amounts paid in the period from January 5, 1989 to October 16, 1996. The proceeding was judged unfounded, and the Federal Regional Court maintained its unfavorable decision, which is final and unappealable.
In view of this fact, CSN attempted to pay the amount due, but FNDE and INSS did not reach an agreement about who should receive it. A fine was also demanded, but CSN did not agree on it.
CSN filed new proceedings questioning the above-mentioned facts and deposited in court the amounts due. In the first proceeding, the 1st level sentence judged partially favorable the pleading, in which the Judge removed the amount of the fine, maintaining, however, the SELIC rate. The Company presented brief of respondent to the defendant’s appeal, and appealed concerning the SELIC rate.
The amount accrued and deposited in court on March 31, 2011 totals R$33,121 (R$33,121 on December 31, 2010).
§ Workers’ Compensation Insurance - SAT
The parent company is challenging in court the increase in the SAT rate from 1% to 3% and is also contests the raise in SAT for the purposes of Contribution to Special Retirement, whose rate was set at 6%, in accordance with the legislation, for employees who are exposed to harmful agents.
As for the first proceeding mentioned above, the lower court decision was unfavorable and the proceeding is under judgment in the 2nd Region of the Federal Regional Court. As for the second proceeding it ended up unfavorably for the Company, and the total amount due in this proceeding of R$33,077, which was deposited in court, was converted into revenue for the benefit of INSS.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
The amount accrued on March 31, 2011, totals R$36,972 (R$36,966 on December 31, 2010), which includes legal additions and is exclusively related to the process of rate difference from 1% to 3% for all establishments of the Company. Due to the probability of losing of this discussion, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adhesion of said discussions to the installment payment set forth by Law 11,941/09. Due to the adhesion to REFIS and the withdrawal from the litigation that discussed the rate increase from 1% to 3%, CSN included the period that had not been assessed in the Common Installment Program, which awaits ratification.
§ IPI premium credit on exports
The Brazilian tax laws allowed companies to recognize IPI premium credit until 1983, when the Brazilian government, through Executive act, cancelled these benefits, prohibiting companies to use these credits.
The parent company challenged the constitutionality of this act and filed a claim to obtain the right to use the IPI premium credit on exports from 1992 to 2002, once only laws enacted by the legislative branch may cancel or revoke benefits prepared by prior legislation.
In August 2003 the Company obtained a favorable lower court decision, authorizing the use of the credits aforementioned. The national treasury appealed against this decision and obtained a favorable decision, and the Company then filed a special and extraordinary appeal against this decision at the Superior Court of Justice and at the Federal Supreme Court, respectively.
Between September 2006 and May 2007, the Brazilian Treasury filed 5 tax foreclosures and 3 administrative proceedings against the Company, related to the payment of taxes which were offset with IPI premium credits. The total payment amount was restated at approximately R$2.7 billion on March 31, 2011.
On August 29, 2007, CSN offered property to be levied upon treasury shares in the amount of R$536 million. 25% of this amount will be replaced by judicial deposits in monthly installments performed up to December 31, 2007 and as these substitutions take place, it was requested that the equivalent amount in shares be released from the levy of execution for the share price determined at the closing price of the day prior to the deposit. The requirement was pending decision.
On August 13, 2009, the Federal Supreme Court issued a decision with effects of general repercussion establishing that the IPI Premium Credit was only effective up to October 1990. Thus, the credits determined after 1990 were not recognized, and, in view of this court decision, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adhesion of said issues to the tax recovery programs of tax debits pursuant to the Provisional Measure 470/09 and Law 11941/09, in which there is the advantage of reduced fines, interest and legal charges.
The Company held accrued the amount of credits already offset, increased by default charges up to September 30, 2009. The new debit value after the application of reductions set forth in the program of Law 11,941/09, was offset with court deposits related to said operations, resulting in an excess deposits amounting to R$516 million after the application of REFIS reductions, which can be offset with other debits included in the installment payment or refunded. Such debits are yet subject to ratification by the proper authorities, which will take place as of the second quarter of 2011.

Debits registered pursuant to MP 470/09 have been paid in 12 installments as of November 2009, and the last four installments were replaced by the amounts of income and social contribution taxes losses carryforwards, pursuant to the possibility set forth in the applicable legislation. Proper authorities are still examining the data presented to consolidate debits included in said installment payment.
Up to date, five administrative proceedings, amounting to R$1.8 billion, are being challenged in court by proper authorities, two of which were purpose of registry as an overdue tax liability. The Company promptly challenged appeals in the administrative scope (by presenting proper appeals) in view of strong arguments about the inclusion of such debits in the payment in installments allowed for by MP 470/09 and, by means of an Injunction, suspended the appeals presented, said effect will suspend the enforceability of said debts until a final decision is issued in the administrative scope. Administrative Proceedings which aim at including again the debts in the Provisional Measure 470/09 have still been analyzed.
§ Other
The parent company also recorded provisions for proceedings related to INSS, Severance Pay (FGTS) - Supplementary Law 110, COFINS Law 10,833/03, PIS - Law 10,637/02 and PIS/COFINS - Manaus Free-trade Zone, amount of which totaled R$85,917 on March 31, 2011 (R$84,367 on December 31,2010), which includes legal accruals.
Regarding the Cofins debit Law 10,833/03, the Board of Directors approved the adhesion of said discussions to the tax recovery program Law 11,941/09. The Parent Company maintained a provision in the amount of credits already offset, increased by default charges up to September 30, 2009.
The new debit value after the application of reductions set forth in the program of Law 11,941/09, was offset by court deposits related to said operations, resulting in an excess deposits amounting to R$9,141 after the application of REFIS reductions, which can be offset by other debits included in the installment payment, or under court decision or refunded. Such debits are yet subject to ratification by the proper authorities yet, which will take place by 2011.
On June 14, 2010, the Regional Federal Court of Brasília rejected the annulment action filed by CSN against CADE – Administrative Council for Economic Defense, which aimed at annulling its injunction for the so-infringements provided for in Articles 20 and 21, item I of Law 8,884/1984. The respective appeals were presented against this decision, which were denied allowing for a Motion for Clarification, which is pending judgment. The collection of the fine, amounting to R$65,292, was suspended by Court decision, which granted an effect of supersedeas as to guarantee the debit through a surety issued by CSN. This action is classified under risk of possible loss.

The expenses estimates are reviewed periodically by adjusting the amounts already recorded, whenever necessary. These are the Management’s best estimates considering the degraded area recovery studies and those in process of exploration.

22. Interest on shareholders’ equity
The Company’s Management will propose to the Annual General Meeting the payment of interest on shareholders’ equity in the amount of R$356,800 referring to the income earned in 2010, equivalent to R$0.244724 per share of the outstanding capital stock on this date.
The calculation of interest on shareholders’ equity is based on the variation of the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP) on shareholders’ equity, limited to 50% of the income for the year before income tax or 50% of retained earnings and profit reserves, in which case the higher of the two limits may be used, pursuant to the legislation in force.
In compliance with the CVM Resolution 207, of December 31, 1996, and with tax rules, the Company opted to record the proposed interest on shareholders’ equity, as corresponding entry against the financial expenses account, and reverse it in the same account, and not presenting it in the statement of income and not generating effects on net income, except with respect to tax effects recognized in deferred income and social contribution taxes. Management will propose that the amount of interest on shareholders’ equity be attributed to the mandatory minimum dividend.

26. INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
According to the Company’s structure, its businesses are distributed in five operational segments. Consequently, CSN has analyzed its information by segment as follows:
i. Steel
The steel division encompasses all operations related to the production, distribution, and sale of flat steel products, steel containers and galvanized steel in Brazil, the U.S. and Portugal. The segment makes steel packaging materials for Brazil’s chemical and food industries and also serves the country’s civil construction, while line (appliances) automotive and motors and compressors segments. The Company’s steel units produce highly durable hot- and cold-laminated, galvanized and pre-painted steel products. The Company also makes tinplate, a raw material used in the production of packaging products.
At Lusosider, in Portugal, the division also produces metallic leafing, in addition to galvanized steel products. CSN LLC, which operates in the U.S., serves the local market, offering cold-laminated and galvanized products. The production of long steel is slated to begin in 2012. With an initial production of 500 thousand tonnes, the Company will consolidate its position as a one-stop provider for the civil construction industry, rounding out its portfolio of high valued-added products in the steel chain.
ii. Mining
The mining division encompasses the firm’s iron ore and tin operations. Those high quality iron ore operations are located in the Iron Quadrangle region of Minas Gerais State, the Casa de Pedra mine, located in Congonhas, Minas Gerais, which produces high quality iron ore, as does its jointly-owned subsidiary Nacional Minérios S.A. (Namisa), which owns its own mines, also of excellent quality. It also sells iron ore for third parties. CSN also owns the Estanho de Rondônia S.A. (ERSA) mining company, which operates tin mining and smelting operations.
The Company holds the concession to operate TECAR, a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals consisting Port of Itaguaí, located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Coal and coke imports are carried out by means of this terminal.
i. Rail Logistics
CSN holds stakes in two rail companies: MRS Logística S.A., which manages Southeast Network formerly run by Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A. (RFFSA), and Transnordestina Logística S.A., which operates RFFSA’s former Northeast Network, which traverses the states on Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
a) MRS
The transport services provided by MRS are fundamental to the supply of raw materials and the shipment of end products to their destinations. All of the iron ore, carbon and coke used at the Presidente Vargas Plant are transported by MRS, as well as a portion of the steel produced by CSN for the domestic market and for export.
Railroad system in Southeastern Brazil, with a 1,674 km rail network, serves the industrial triangle São Paulo - Rio de Janeiro - Minas Gerais in the southeast, connecting its mines located in Minas Gerais to ports located in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and to CSN’s steel plants, Companhia Siderúrgica Paulista, or Cosipa, and Gerdau Açominas. In addition to serving other clients, the line transports iron ore from its mines of Casa de Pedra in Minas Gerais and coke and coal from Port of Itaguaí, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, to the city of Volta Redonda, and transports its exports to the Ports of Itaguaí and Rio de Janeiro. Its transportation volume accounts for nearly 28% of the total volume of the railroad system in southeastern Brazil.
b) Transnordestina Logística
CSN and the federal government will jointly finance the implementation of the Transnordestina Project, which involves the construction of nearly 1,728 kilometers of new lines. That project, which is slated for conclusion in 2013, also includes extensions of and improvements to part of infrastructure (or lines) of Transnordestina Logística’s concession network, which will be expanded from its current 2,600 operational kilometers to approximately 4,300 km operational kilometers.
Tansnordestina Logística S.A. holds a 30-year concession granted in 1998 to operate the rail system in northeastern Brazil. The rail system in northeastern Brazil comprises a 4,238 km of rail network and operates in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Rio Grande do Norte. In addition, it connects itself to the main ports of the region, thus offering an important competitive advantage by means of opportunities for combined transportation solutions and customized logistic projects.
The project will increase transportation capacity of Transnordestina Logística by 20 times, almost the same level of the world’s most modern railways.
Transnordestina will become the best logistic option to export grains through the ports of Pecém and Suape, as well as other solid bulks, such as iron ore of the Northeast Region, playing an important role in the region’s development.
ii. Ports Logistics
The ports logistics division encompasses operation of the Sepetiba Tecon terminal built in the post-privatization period. The Sepetiba terminal’s infrastructure can meet all the needs of exporters, importers and ship-owners, since its installed capacity surpasses those of most other Brazilian terminals. Its berths have an excellent depth of 14.5 meters and plenty of storage space, and the terminal also provides adequate access to state-of-the-art equipment, systems and intermodal connections.

Version: 1 |
The company’s Constant investment in terminal projects consolidates the Port Complex of Itaguaí as one of the country’s most modern ones, currently with a movement capacity of 480 thousand containers on an annual basis and 30 million tonnes of bulk.
iii. Energy
CSN is one of the major industrial consumers of electricity in Brazil. Considering that energy is essential in its productive process, the Company invests in energy generation assets to guarantee its self-sufficiency, which include: the Itá Hydroelectric Plant, located in Santa Catarina State, with an installed capacity of 1,450 MW, in which CSN holds a 29.5% interest; the Igarapava Hydroelectric Plant, located in Minas Gerais, which has an installed capacity of 210 MW and in which CSN holds a 17.9% interest; and the thermo-electric co-generation station, with 238 MW, operational at the Presidente Vargas steelworks since 1999. The thermoelectric power plant uses residual gases deriving from its own steel production as fuel. CSN obtains 430 MW of energy from these three energy generation assets.
iv. Cement
The cement division consolidates the Company’s cement production, distribution and sales operations, which use the slag produced by the Volta Redonda plant’s blast furnaces. Currently, the clinker used in cement production is leased from third parties, however, it will be produced by CSN itself in 2011, when the first stage of the Arcos factory in Minas Gerais will be completed. CSN also has a limestone mine on that site, which is already part of its cement division.
The information presented to the Management pertinent to each division is generally derived directly from the accounting records combined with a few inter-unit allocations.
Sales by geographic area are determined based on customer location. In consolidated terms, Brazilian sales consist of revenues obtained from clients in Brazil, while export sales correspond to revenues obtained from clients abroad.

28. EMPLOYEES BENEFITS
Pension plans granted by the Company substantially cover all employees. Plans are managed by Caixa Beneficente dos Empregados da CSN (“CBS”), a non-profit private pension fund, established in July 1960, whose members are employees and former employees of the parent company and some subsidiaries, which joined the fund by means of an agreement, and CBS’s employees themselves. CBS’s Executive Board comprises a president and two executive officers, all of them appointed by CSN, CBS’s main sponsor. The Deliberative Council is CBS’s top authority of deliberation and guidance presided over by the president of the pension fund and composed of ten members, six of them are chosen by CSN, CBS’s main sponsor, and four of them are elected by participants.
Up to December 1995, CBS Previdência managed two benefit plans based on years of services, salary and social security benefits. On December 27, 1995, the Brazilian Department of Supplementary Private Pensions (“SPC”) approved the implementation of a new benefit plan, effective as of the abovementioned date, called Combined Supplementary Benefit Plan (“Combined Plan”), organized as a variable contribution plan. Employees hired after this date may only join the new plan (“Combined Plan"). In addition, all active employees who participated in the previous defined benefit plans had the opportunity to change to the new Combined Plan.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
On March 31, 2011, CBS had 31,059 participants (30,540 on December 31, 2010), out of which 15,987 were active taxpayers (15,433 on December 31, 2010), 9,854 were retired employees (9,888 on December 31, 2010) and 5,218 were contingent beneficiaries (5,219 on December 31, 2010). Out of total participants, on March 31, 2011, 14,032 belong to the defined benefit plan and 17,027 to the combined plan.
CBS’s guarantee assets are mainly invested in restricted operations (backed by in federal public securities, federal public securities indexed to the inflation, shares, loans and real estate. On March 31, 2011, CBS held 12,788,231 common shares of CSN (12,788,231 common shares on December 31, 2010). The entity’s total guarantee assets amounted to R$3.7 billion and R$3.6 billion on March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. CBS’s fund managers try to combine the plan assets with the benefit liabilities payable in the long term. Brazilian pension funds are subject to certain restrictions related to their investment capacity in foreign assets and, consequently, funds invest mainly in securities in Brazil.
Guarantee assets are those assets available and investments of benefit plans, not including the debts contracted with sponsors.
a. Description of pension plans
35% of average salary plan
This plan, which began on February 1st, 1996, is a defined benefit plan for the purpose of paying retirements (due to time in service, special cases, disability or age) on a life-long basis, equivalent to 35% of the participant’s adjusted average for the last 12 salaries. The plan also guarantees the payment of a sickness allowance to a participant on sick leave through the Official Pension Plan and it also guarantees the payment of benefits, death grant and a cash grant. This plan became inactive on October 31, 1977, when the supplementation of the average salary plan became effective.
Supplementation plan for the average salary
The defined benefit plan began on November 1, 1977. The purpose of this plan is to supplement the difference between the 12 last average adjusted salaries of the participant and the benefit paid by the Social Security Pension Plan (Previdência Oficial) benefit, to the retired employees, on a life-long basis. Like in the 35% Average Salary Plan, there is sickness allowance, death grant and pension coverage. This plan became inactive on December 26, 1995, after the combined supplementary benefits plan has been implemented.
Combined supplementary benefit plan
Begun on December 27, 1995, this is a variable contribution plan. Besides the programmed pension benefit, there is the payment of risk benefits (pension in activity, disability and sickness/accident benefit). In this plan, the retirement benefit is calculated based on the total accumulated sponsor’s and participant’s contributions per month, as well as on each participant’s payment option, which may occur by lifetime (with or without receiving death benefit) or by a percentage applied on the balance of the benefit generating fund (loss by indefinite term). Upon the participant’s retirement grant, the plan starts having a defined benefit plan.

b. Investment policy
The investment policy sets forth principles and guidelines that should rule investments from funds of the entity, aiming to promote safety, liquidity and profitability necessary to ensure balance between the plan assets and liabilities, based on the Asset Liability Management (ALM) study, which takes into consideration the benefits of the participants and beneficiaries of each plan.
The investment plan is reviewed on a yearly basis and approved by the Deliberative Council taking into consideration a 5-year period, as set forth by CGPC Rule 7 of December 4, 2003. Investment limits and criteria set forth in the policy are based on Resolution 3,792/09, published by the Brazilian Monetary Council (“CMN”).
c. Employee benefits
Actuarial liabilities are adjusted at the end of each year by external actuaries and reported in the quarterly financial information according to CPC 33-Employees benefits and IAS 19 – Employee Benefits.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report on Interim Financial Information
(a free translation from the original in Portuguese)
To
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional
São Paulo – SP
We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (the Company), included in the Quarterly Financial Information - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, comprising the balance sheet and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, including its explanatory information.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim Financial Information and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, and presented in a manner consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion on the individual Quarterly Financial Information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the Quarterly Financial Information described above, were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and presented in a manner consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.
Conclusion on the consolidated Quarterly Financial Information
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Financial Information described above were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and presented in a manner consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITR – QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION – March 31, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL |
Version: 1 |
As mentioned in note 2, the interim financial information were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and presented in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information in a manner consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. In the case of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional the accounting practices differ from the IFRS, applicable to the separate financial statements, only with respect to the measurement of investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities measured by the equity method, while for IFRS purposes these investments would be measured at cost or fair value.
As mentioned in note 30 to the Quarterly Financial Information, the Company has been negotiating with insurance and reinsurance companies in Brazil and abroad, in order to obtain insurance coverage for property damages and business interruption in certain sites of the Company.
Other matters
Statement of value added
We also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim information of value added (DVA), for the quarter ended on March 31, 2011, for which the disclosure in the interim information is required in accordance with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information and considered additional information for IFRS, which does not require this disclosure. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated Quarterly Financial Information taken as a whole.
