Comments on the Company’s Consolidated Performance

 

Economic and Sector Scenario

 

Global economic activity, which had picked up steam at the beginning of the year, slowed in the second quarter, chiefly due to the worsening of the fiscal crisis in certain European countries and the difficulties in approving an increase in public spending in the U.S., all of which led to increased risk aversion.

 

There is a clear global disparity in regard to economic growth. While growth in the developed countries has fallen to exceptionally modest levels, developing nations are continuing to expand rapidly. In order to contain the inflationary upturn in the emerging economies, several central banks have imposed more restrictive monetary policies  

 

In its most recent report on the global economic outlook, the OECD encouraged the central banks to raise base rates in order to combat the increased price pressure. According to the IMF, average inflation worldwide climbed from 3.5% p.a., in 4Q10, to 4% p.a.  2011.

 

USA:

U.S. GDP growth estimates are reflecting Americans’ cautious approach to consumption and modest corporate hiring levels. The IMF has revised the projection of GDP growth in 2011 from 3.5% to 2.5%.

 

Unemployment is still high and household and government debt, together with weak credit growth, is hampering a recovery in consumption.

 

U.S. government figures show that the country created 18,000 jobs in June, well below the previously expected 125,000. This means that 9.2% of the economically active population is unemployed.

 

Given this scenario, the government wants to increase public spending so the economy can start to grow again. Nevertheless, the opposition is against any increase in the public debt, which has already reached US$14 trillion. Ratings agencies have indicated that they may downgrade the country’s credit rating if the authorities fail to negotiate an increase in the debt ceiling. 

 

Europe:

Even though the 2011 eurozone growth prospects have improved, chiefly sustained by Germany and France, the problems of Greece and other member nations may well inhibit an economic recovery in the region.

 

Eurozone GDP edged up by 0.8% in 1Q11, with Germany’s 1.5% making a substantial contribution to this upturn.

 

Germany’s performance is once again being sustained by exports and the country’s central bank expects annual growth of 2.6%.

As in other regions of the world, Europe is suffering from inflationary pressure, with the harmonized consumer price index recording 2.7% in June. In an attempt to reduce this pressure, the ECB raised interest rates by 0.25 pp. to 1.50% p.a., the second hike this year. According to the Bank, interest rates are still exceptionally low and monetary policy remains flexible, which could indicate further increases along the year.  

 

Eurozone unemployment improved slightly in April, totaling 9.9%, the lowest figure since September 2009, but still well above historical levels.   

 

Asia:

China has adopted a series of restrictive measures to rein in its inflationary upturn, focused on controlling consumption by increasing interest rates and reserve requirements, which, with the energy restrictions, have reduced the country’s 2011 growth prospects. This monetary squeeze has reduced market liquidity, in turn inhibiting the acquisition and build-up of raw materials.

The consumer price index continued to move up, reaching its highest level for three years, recording 6.4% in the first six months of 2011, mainly driven by the 14% increase in food prices and high wage hikes. In order to ease the pressure, the country’s Central Bank pushed up interest rates by 0.25% p.a., in turn raising the lending rate to 6.56% p.a. This was the third increase this year. Nevertheless, China still posted hefty year-on-year GDP growth of 9.5% in the second quarter, fueled by industrial output and retail sales, which recorded respective growth of 15% and 18% in June over the same month last year.

 

The reconstruction of Japan’s infrastructure following the damage caused by the earthquake and the tsunami, is moving much faster than expected, according to the Japanese Central Bank. Demand has not been unduly affected, given the routing of part of production to the export market. The earthquake’s biggest short-term impact has been on the supply of industrial inputs.

 

One positive note has come from the job market. According to the Ministry of Communications and Internal Affairs, Japanese unemployment fell from 4.7% in April, to 4.5% in May.

 

Brazil:

The 2011 economic outlook remains positive, although certain indicators are pointing to a reduction in the pace of activity in the second half, due to the macroprudential measures adopted by the government since the end of 2010.

 

The consumer confidence index (ICC), measured by the FGV, and the business confidence index (ICEI), measured by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) have both posted a decline. In June, the ICC recorded 153.81 points, 4.4 points less than in January, while the ICEI recorded 57.90 points, 6.6 points down year-on-year.

First-quarter GDP climbed by 1.3% over the previous three months, driven by agriculture and industry, which increased by 3.3% and 2.2%, respectively. However, exports and imports moved in the opposite direction, with respective declines of 3.2% and 1.6%. According to the Central Bank, annual GDP growth should reach 3.94% in 2011.

In May, consumer default on bills overdue by more than 90 days grew by 0.2% p.p. to 5.1%. The total stock of credit in the financial system stood at R$1.8 trillion, 5.8% up in the year and 1.6% up in the month. The credit/GDP ratio increased to 47%, still low compared to some of the developed countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, which recorded respective ratios of 90% and 135%.

 

Inflation continues to exert pressure. According to the Central Bank’s FOCUS report the IPCA consumer price index should end the year at close to the fluctuation band ceiling of 6.5%. However, the indicators are pointing to a slowdown in the second half, given the government’s macroprudential measures and the decline in food prices. Recently, the National Monetary Council decided to maintain the annual inflationary target at 4.5% until 2013, aiming to keep inflation under control while maintaining sufficient flexibility for monetary policy maneuvers. This year alone, there have been five consecutive increases in the SELIC base rate, which now stands at 12.50% p.a., and the FOCUS report points to further hikes before the end of the year.

 

According to the IBGE, retail sales increased by 7.4% between January and May and by 9.2% in the last 12 months. Nevertheless, domestic demand is expected to slow in the coming quarters, reflecting the impact of the restrictive policy implemented since the end of last year.

 

Direct foreign investments (IED) totaled US$32 billion in the first half, a massive 167% up on the same period last year and the FOCUS report believes they will climb to US$55 billion by year-end. This trend is pressuring the Real, which remains appreciated against the U.S. dollar.

 

The government has been taking a series of measures to rein in the appreciation of Brazil’s currency and reduce the current account deficit, which continues to move up, primarily driven by foreign purchases, import growth and remittances of profits abroad. According to the Central Bank, the year-to-date deficit is US$22 billion and it should close the year at US$60 billion.

Net Revenue


Consolidated net revenue totaled R$4,323 million in 2Q11, 14% up on the R$3,789 million recorded in 1Q11, chiefly due to higher iron ore prices and sales volume in 2Q11, as well as higher steel sales volume.

 

Consolidated net revenue grew by 12% in relation to the R$3,872 million posted in 2Q10, basically due to higher iron ore prices and sales volume.

 

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)


In 2Q11, consolidated COGS totaled R$2,487 million, 11% more than the R$2,233 million recorded in 1Q11, primarily reflecting the increase in iron ore and steel product sales volume.

 

In year-on-year terms, consolidated COGS grew by 26% over the R$1,977 million recorded in 2Q10, basically due to higher iron ore sales volume.

 

 

Selling, General, Administrative and Other Operating Expenses

 

In the second quarter, SG&A expenses totaled R$304 million, 26% up on 1Q11, chiefly due to the collective bargaining agreement in June, in addition to higher expenses with service providers. In relation to 2Q10, SG&A expenses remained flat.

 

CSN recorded a positive R$605 million in the “Other Revenue and Expenses” in 2Q11, a big improvement over the net expense of R$125 million recorded in 1Q11, essentially due to the R$698 million from the sale of CSN’s entire interest in Riversdale Mining Limited.

EBITDA


Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this report comprises 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$1,773 million in 2Q11, 16% up on the R$1,529 million recorded in 1Q11, chiefly due to higher iron ore prices, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41%, up by 1 p.p..

 

Adjusted EBITDA came to R$3,302 million in the first half of 2011, 7% up year-on-year, mainly due to higher iron ore prices and sales volume.

Financial Result and Net Debt


The 2Q11 net financial result was negative by R$650 million, chiefly due to the following factors:

 

§  Provisions for interest on loans and financing totaling R$546 million;

§  Negative monetary and foreign exchange variations of R$80 million, including the result of derivative operations;  

§  Expenses of R$77 million from the consolidation of REFIS tax repayment program processes; 

§  The monetary restatement of tax provisions totaling R$87 million;

 

These negative effects were partially offset by returns on financial investments totaling R$152 million.

 

On June 30, 2011, the consolidated net debt stood at R$11.3 billion, R$0.6 billion more than the R$10.7 billion recorded on March 31, 2011, essentially due to the following factors:

 

§  Investments of R$0.9 billion in fixed assets;

§  Payment of R$1.9 billion in dividends and interest on equity;

§  A R$0.6 billion effect related to the cost of debt;

§  Increase of R$0.3 billion in the working capital allocated to the business.

 

These effects were partially offset by 2Q11 adjusted EBITDA of R$1.8 billion and the R$1.3 billion revenue from the sale of the Company’s entire interest in Riversdale Mining Limited.

 

The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio closed 2Q11 at 1.72, based on LTM adjusted EBITDA of R$6.6 billion, 0.10x up on the 1.62x ratio recorded at the end of the previous quarter.

 

In April 2011, the Company contracted a R$1.5 billion loan from Banco do Brasil through the issue of Export Credit Notes in order to finance its exports.

 



Consolidated Net Income

CSN posted 2Q11 net income of R$1,137 million, 85% up on 1Q11, chiefly due to the higher gross profit and the proceeds from the sale of CSN’s minority interest in Riversdale Mining Limited, partially offset by the financial result.

Steel

 

Scenario

According to the Brazilian Steel Institute (IABr), apparent consumption of steel products in Brazil totaled 12.6 million tonnes in the first half of 2011, 5.6% less than in the same period last year. Of this total, 1.7 million tonnes came from imports, 36.7% down year-on-year.  

 

Also according to the IABr, Brazil produced 17.7 million tonnes of crude steel in the first six months of the year, 8% up on 1H10, while rolled flat steel output fell by 7% to 7.3 million tonnes

 

Domestic flat steel sales totaled 5.9 million tonnes, 3.3% down on the first half of 2010, while exports climbed by 13% to 1.3 million tonnes.

 

The IABr’s projections for the sector remain favorable. Apparent consumption of steel products in the Brazilian market is expected to reach 27.8 million tonnes in 2011, 6.4% up on 2010, based on expectations of moderate growth for industry as a whole, with more significant growth in those segments producing equipment for the oil and gas industry and those associated with the World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.

Segments

 

Automotive: The automotive sector continues to thrive. First-half results show that the market is growing and annual sales are expected to increase by between 5% and 8%. The outlook is excellent, with the Brazilian auto market set to absorb major investments. So far, the sector has received guarantees of R$32 billion in investments to increase production capacity, adding 1.3 million units by 2015, and this does not include projects for new plants.

 

First-half output totaled 1.71 million units, 4% up on 1H10 and a new record, with exports of 249,900 units, up by 3%. Second-quarter production climbed by 6% over 1Q11, to 882,000 units.

 

According to ANFAVEA (the auto manufacturers’ association), sales totaled 1.73 million units in the first half, 10% up on 1H10, and 912,000 units in the second quarter, 11% up on the previous three months. ANFAVEA expects annual sales of 3.7 million vehicles, 5% more than in 2010.

 

Agricultural Machinery: First-half production amounted to 41,000 units, 7.2% less than in the same period of 2010, and period sales kept pace, falling by 7%.

 

Sales volume should close 2011 in line with 2010, with 68,500 units sold, accompanied by a 4.8% decline in exports.

 

Construction: According to the leading institutes, the expansion of Brazil’s construction sector should outpace GDP growth. DIEESE (the Inter-union Statistics Department) estimates an annual construction GDP upturn of 8.5% while ABRAMAT (the Brazilian building material manufacturers’ association) estimates growth of 5%.

 

Retail sales of building materials account for 77% of sector product consumption. ANAMACO (the Brazilian Association of Residential Building Material Retailers) estimates that this segment grew by 3.5% year-on-year in the first half and is projecting annual growth of around 6%, 2 p.p. above Brazil’s GDP growth

 

In 1H11, the Brazilian government launched the second phase of the Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House, My Life) project, which envisages the construction of 2 million homes by 2014. Caixa Econômica Federal will allocate over R$120 billion to the second phase of the housing project, versus R$53 billion in the first phase.

 

According to a study by FGV-ABRAMAT, real construction revenue should reach R$188 billion in 2016, almost twice as much as in 2009. These prospects of sustainable growth should encourage investments in the sector.

 

Distribution: According to INDA (the Brazilian steel distributors’ association), first-half sales totaled 2.1 million tonnes, 7.8% up on 1H10, while purchases by distributors totaled 2.1 million tonnes, down by 9.3%.

Version: 1

 

First-half imports dropped by a substantial 53%, from 1.7 million tonnes, in 1H10, to 810,000 tonnes, while second-quarter imports dipped by 3% over the previous three months to 398,000 tonnes.

 

Nevertheless, inventory turnover stood at 3.7 months of sales in June, well above the historical average of 2.7 months.

 

Home Appliances: The North, Northeast and Midwest regions continue to drive sales, as demand is fueled by new technologies and increased consumption by Brazil’s emerging middle class (C income group).

 

Higher retail interest rates are accompanied by more extended payment terms, benefiting lower-income consumers.

 

According to Eletros (the home appliance manufacturers’ association), in the first half of 2011, washing machine sales increased by 20% over the same period last year to 3.6 million units, while refrigerator sales grew by 7% to 2.8 million units.

 

In the first half, investments of more than R$500 million were announced in the expansion and construction of home appliance factories. Eletros estimates a 10% increase in sales in 2011.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from steel operations in 2Q11 totaled R$2,513 million, 9% up on 1Q11, basically due to the increase in domestic sales volume.

 

Total Sales Volume

CSN recorded total sales volume of 1.3 million tonnes in 2Q11, 7% more than in 1Q11. Of this total, 86% was sold in the domestic market and 10% by overseas subsidiaries, while 4% went to direct exports.

Domestic Sales Volume

Domestic sales totaled 1.1 million tonnes in 2Q11, an 8% improvement over 1Q11, fueled by stronger demand for flat steel in Brazil.

Exports

CSN exported 180,000 tonnes in 2Q11, a reduction of 3% over the 1Q11. Sales by CSN LLC and Lusosider totaled 124,000 tonnes, while direct exports amounted to 56,000 tonnes.

Prices

Net revenue per tonne averaged R$1,898 in 2Q11, 2% above the 1Q11, due to the domestic market price hike in mid-2Q11.

STEEL PRODUCTION COSTS (Parent Company)

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted steel segment EBITDA totaled R$733 million in 2Q11, 6% up on the R$693 million recorded in 1Q11, basically due to higher domestic sales, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA margin of 29%, in line with the previous quarter.

 

 

Mining

 

Scenario

 

After an intense start to the year, the second quarter of 2011 reflected the worsening of the European Union crisis, the monetary squeeze in China, and the upturn in inflation due to higher commodity prices. All of these events had an impact on global demand, in turn affecting the iron ore market.

 

In the first five months of 2011, Brazil’s iron ore exports totaled 122 million tonnes, 4.5% up on the same period last year.

 

Prospects for the iron ore market remain positive, with demand continuing to outstrip supply until 2015. However, despite the constant announcements of expansions and new projects, it is essential to take quantity and quality into consideration. Many projects will require large-scale concentration to meet the needs of the iron and steel industry and there are further obstacles along the way, including financing, infrastructure, environmental licensing and quality, which may hamper the implementation of these new projects or even render them unviable. According to Macquarie, demand should remain high until the end of the decade, with prices hovering around US$150/dmt until 2015.

 

China’s urbanization process and massive domestic consumption will still account for a major slice of the iron ore market over the next ten years. In the first five months of 2011, Chinese iron ore imports increased by 8% year-on-year, despite the recent economic restrictions. Most economists agree that China will continue to grow at a slower pace, in line with the guidelines of the country’s Five Year Plan, which are based on strong fundamentals.

 

In accordance with the iron ore pricing formula, widely used in the market, prices in the second quarter were based on spot prices between December 2010 and February 2011.

In 3Q11, the basic Platts price (62% Fe CFR) is expected to dip by 1.2% in relation to the second quarter.

 

 

Iron Ore Sales

In 2Q11, CSN and Namisa’s total sales of finished iron ore products to third parties came to 6.7 million tonnes1, 8% and 2% up on 2Q10 and 1Q11, respectively, and a new record. Of this total, exports accounted for 6.3 million tonnes, with 2.3 million tonnes sold by Namisa, while the Company’s own consumption absorbed 1.7 million tonnes.

 

In the first half, sales of finished iron ore products totaled 13.3 million tonnes1, 13% up on 1H10 and yet another record. Exports accounted for 12.4 million tonnes, with 6.0 million tonnes sold by Namisa, while the Company’s own consumption absorbed 3.4 million tonnes.

 

Considering CSN’s 60% interest in Namisa, sales came to 5.8 million tonnes in 2Q11, 26% up on 2Q10 and 14% up on 1Q11. In 1H11, also considering CSN’s 60% interest in Namisa, sales amounted to 11.0 million tonnes, 24% more than in the same period last year.

 

Net Revenue

Net revenue totaled R$1.5 billion in 2Q11, 26% up on 1Q11 and yet another record, mainly reflecting the period price increase. In relation to 2Q10, net revenue grew by 80%, reflecting the price and volume upturn in 2Q11.

 

In 1H11, net revenue from mining operations jumped by 110% year-on-year to a record R$2.7 billion.

 

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

 

COGS came to R$506 million in 2Q11, 16% more than in 1Q11, due to higher sales volume.

 

In the first half of 2011, COGS totaled R$942 million, 94% up year-on-year.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1.04 billion, 31% up on 1Q11, accompanied by an adjusted EBITDA margin of 68%, up by 3 p.p., both increases reflecting the higher prices in 2Q11.

 

Year-to-date EBITDA came to R$1.8 billion, 124% up year-on-year, with a margin of 67%, up by 4 p.p.

 

1 Sales volumes include 100% of the stake in NAMISA.

 

Logistics

 

Scenario

 

Port Logistics

According to the latest figures from ANTAQ (National Waterway Transport Agency), port activities in Brazil continue to thrive. In the first quarter of 2011, handled volume totaled 200.6 million tonnes, 8% up on the same period last year, with iron ore volume moving up by 4% to 72.3 million tonnes. In the container segment, the Brazilian ports handled 1.73 million TEUs, 18% more than in 1Q10.

Railway Logistics

 

According to ANTF (National Rail Transport Association), rail transport will play an increasingly important role in Brazilian logistics in the coming years. The association estimates an increase in Brazil’s rail network from 28,000 km in 2010 to 49,000 km in 2023, accompanied by an upturn in rail’s share of national transport from 25% to 32%. Production in 2011 is estimated at 315 billion tonne-kilometers.

Energy

 

Scenario

 

Electric power consumption posted a moderate increase in 2Q11.In April and May, consumption grew by 2.59% over the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy’s Energy Research Company (EPE)

 

The commercial, residential and industrial segments contributed most to this performance, with respective growth of 5.42%, 2.90% and 1.92%.

 

Despite this upturn in the consumption of electric power, the structural balance between energy supply and demand in the next five years is guaranteed, according to EPE´s recent study named Electric Power Demand Projection.

 

Such favorable scenario is largely thanks to the growth in energy aggregate supply, contracted at auctions promoted by the federal government, at higher levels than the estimated growth in demand, which is projected at 5% p.a.

 

Analysis of Results

 

Net revenue totaled R$37 million in 2Q11, COGS stood at R$19 million, and adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$17 million, accompanied by an EBITDA margin of 46%.

In 1H11, net revenue totaled R$66 million, COGS stood at R$29 million, and adjusted EBITDA amounted to R$35 million, with a margin of 54%.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 (In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

1.     OPERATIONS 

 

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional “CSN” is a Corporation, established on April 9, 1941, in accordance with Brazilian laws (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional and its subsidiaries, affiliated companies and jointly-owned subsidiaries, jointly called the “Company”).

                                                                

CSN is a Company which holds shares listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), reporting its information on the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The main operating activities of CSN are divided into 5 segments:

 

·       Steel: 

 

Its main industrial complex is the Presidente Vargas Steelworks (“UPV”) located in the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro. This segment consolidates the operations related to the production, distribution and sale of flat steel, metal packaging and galvanized steel.

Investment fund

 

In the preparation of the consolidated quarterly financial information, the following consolidation procedures have been adopted:

 

 

Unrealized gains in transactions with subsidiaries and jointly-owned subsidiaries 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 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 all entities (including special-purpose entities) whose financial and operational 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 taken into account 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.

 

·           Jointly-controlled subsidiaries

 

The quarterly financial information of jointly-owned subsidiaries is 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. 

 

(c)      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 separate 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.

 

(d)      Foreign currencies

 

i.        Functional and reporting currency

 

Items included in the quarterly financial statement of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the main economic environment, where each subsidiary operates (“functional currency”). Consolidated quarterly financial statement is presented in R$ (reais), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s reporting currency.

ITR –– Quarterly Financial Information - June 30, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL 

 

Version: 1

 

 

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 June 30, 2011, 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 June 30, 2011, US$1 corresponding to R$1.5611 (R$1.6662 on December 31, 2010) EUR 1 corresponding to R$2.2667 (R$2.2280 on December 31, 2010) and JPY 1 corresponding to R$0.0194 (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 profit or loss, 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:

 

·         Assets and liabilities from each balance sheet presented are converted by the closing rate on the balance sheet date.

 

·         Revenues and expenses from each income statement are converted by average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable rounding to the cumulative effect of rates in force on the operations date, and, in this case, revenues and expenses are converted by the rate on the operations dates); and 

 

·         All resulting exchange rate differences are registered as a separate item under other comprehensive income.

 

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 previously registered in other comprehensive income are recognized in the statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale.

Version: 1

 

 

(e)      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.

 

(f)       Trade accounts receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, including the respective taxes and ancillary expenses, and receivables from clients in foreign currency are restated at the exchange rate as of the date of the quarterly financial information. The allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded in an amount considered sufficient 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.

 

(g)      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, and 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. Losses on low turnover or obsolete inventories are constituted when deemed adequate. The Company has spare parts which will be used in its operating cycle, classified as other current assets, instead of being classified as inventories.

 

(h)      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 profit or loss 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.

 

(i)       Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are registered at acquisition, formation or construction costs, net of accumulated depreciation or depletion and impairment. 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.

Version: 1

 

 

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.

 

(j)       Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets comprise 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 profit or loss 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.

 

(k)      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 for which there are inflow identifiable cash flows separately (CGUs). Non-financial assets, except for goodwill, which have been impaired, are subsequently reviewed to analyze a possible impairment reversal on the reporting date.

(l)       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 profit or loss for the periods in which 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 in which the employee provides the service are discounted at their present values.   

 

 

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 projected 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 statement of income at the straight-line method during the average period until benefits become vested. Under the condition that benefits become immediately vested, expense is instantly recorded in the statement of income.

 

The Company opted to account for all actuarial gains and losses resulting from defined benefit plans directly in other comprehensive income.

 

ii.    Profit sharing and bonuses

 

Employee profit sharing is subject to achieving certain operating and financial targets, mainly allocated to the production cost when applicable and to general and administrative expenses.

 

(m)     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 estimated future cash flows 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.

Version: 1

 

 

(n)      Concessions 

 

The Company has governmental concessions and payments are classified as operating lease.

 

(o)      Share capital

 

Common shares are classified as 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 amount paid, including any additional costs directly chargeable (net of income tax), is decreased from the shareholders’ equity attributed 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 transaction costs directly chargeable and respective income and social contribution tax effects, it is included in the shareholders’ equity attributed to the Company’s shareholders. 

 

(p)      Operating revenue

 

The revenue from sales 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 inherent 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.

 

(q)      Financial income and expenses

 

Financial income includes interest income on invested funds (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income (except for dividends received from investees stated under the equity method in the parent company), gains on sale of available-for sale-financial assets, 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 the statement of income. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss 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 profit or loss, 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.

 

Exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

(r)       Income and social contribution taxes

 

Income and social contribution taxes 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 and social contribution tax 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 and social contribution tax 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 and social contribution tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and will be reduced as their realization is no longer probable.

 

(s)      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.

 

(t)       Environmental  and restoration costs

 

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 profit (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.

 

(u)      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 June 30, 2011 was R$3.130 (R$737 on June 30, 2010).

 

(v)      Financial instruments

 

i)       Classification  

 

Financial assets are classified in the following categories: measured at fair value through profit or 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 or loss

 

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or 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 non-current 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 at fair value. Loans and receivables are accounted for at the amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

 

·         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 at the amount including any directly attributable transaction costs. After their initial recognition, these are measured at the amortized cost through the effective interest 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 non-current 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 purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date on which the 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 profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 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 profit or loss are subsequently recognized at fair value. Loans and receivables are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

 

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss 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 profit or loss 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 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 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:

- 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 significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security 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)     Derivative instruments and hedging activities

 

·         Foreign exchange gain or loss in foreign operations

 

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 or 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.

 

(w)     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).

 

(x)     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.

In order to meet the needs of some customers in the domestic market, related to the extension of steel payment term, in common agreement with CSN’s internal commercial policy and the maintenance of its short-term receivables (up to 14 days), as requested by the customer, loan granting operations without co-obligation are negotiated between the customer and common banks, where CSN grants trade bills/notes issued by it to common banks.

 

Due to the characteristics– of the transactions for assignment of receivable without co-obligation, CSN, after granting client trade bills/notes and receiving funds from closing each operation, settles accounts receivable and fully releases itself from the operation credit risk. 

 

This operation amounts to R$301,688 on June 30, 2011 (R$247,680 on December 31, 2010), less the trade accounts receivable.

Headquartered in Congonhas, state of Minas Gerais, the NAMISA main purpose is the production, purchase and sale of iron ore and it sells its products mainly in the foreign market. Its main operations are developed in the municipalities of Congonhas, OuroPreto, Itabirito and Rio Acima, state of Minas Gerais, and in Itaguaí, state of Rio de Janeiro.

 

In December 2008, CSN sold 2,271,825 shares of the voting capital of Nacional Minérios S.A. to Big Jump Energy Participações S.A. ("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.

 

Due to the new corporate structure of the jointly-owned subsidiary, in which Big Jump holds 40% and CSN 60% and, due to the shareholders’ agreement entered into between the parties, CSN consolidated it in a proportional manner.

 

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.

15.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

I - Identification and measurement 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 Brazil 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 – Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, trade payables and other current liabilities.

 

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:

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 or loss are recorded under current assets and gains and eventual losses are recorded as financial income and expenses respectively.

IV –Policy for management for financial risk

 

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, Australian dollar 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, euro x dollar, yen x real and future exchange contracts) to manage its exposure to exchange rate variation risks of the real against other currencies.  

 

·         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 June 30, 2011 is shown as follows:

·         Exchange swap transactions

 

The company carries out exchange swap operations, aiming to protect its assets and liabilities of possible US dollar/Brazilian real fluctuations. This 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.

In addition to the swaps above mentioned, the Company also made NDFs (Non Deliverable Forward) of its assets in Euros. 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 June 30, 2011, the consolidated position of these agreements was 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. Throughout 2010, the Company paid R$44,432 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.

·         Other Derivatives

 

The subsidiaries Tecon and Lusosider maintain derivative operations to hedge against Yen and US Dollar exposures. The notional value of these operations are JPY 2,390,398 and US$51,185 respectively and the outstanding short position of R$17,366 on June 30, 2011 (R$8,042 on December 31, 2010). The results of these operations on June 30, 2011 are consolidated in the Company’s financial result totaling losses of R$9,629 (gain of R$5,149 on June 30, 2010).

 

·         Sensitivity analysis

 

For the consolidated exchange operations with US Dollar fluctuation risk, based on the foreign exchange rate on June 30, 2011 of R$1.5611 per US$1.00, adjustments were estimated for five scenarios:

 

-  Probable scenario: exchange swap operations considered the assumption of maintaining the fair values (at market) on June 30, 2011 and the 1.5710 future U.S. Dollar rate in the BM&F was used in the foreign exchange position to mature on August 1, 2011, collected on June 30, 2011.

-  Scenario 1: (25% of Real appreciation) R$/US$ parity of 1.1708;

-  Scenario 2: (50% of Real appreciation) R$/US$ parity of 0.7806;

-  Scenario 3: (25% of Real devaluation) R$/US$ parity of 1.9514;

-  Scenario 4: (50% of Real devaluation) R$/US$ parity of 2.3417.

·         Interest rate risk

 

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.

 

·           Libor x CDI swap transactions

 

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 June 30, 2011 is US$129,000 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 PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS

 

a)      Tax recovery program (Refis)

 

·            Federal Refis

 

On November 26, 2009, CSN, its subsidiaries and jointly-owned 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 obligations through a special payment 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.

 

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.

 

In November 2009 and February 2010, the debits payable pursuant to the installment payment program set forth by Law 11,941/09, already registered through provisions, were reviewed based on the 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).

In June, 2011, the Group’s companies consolidated the debits payable pursuant to the tax program set forth by Law 11,941/09 under the 180-installment modality adjusted by the SELIC rate. As a result of the consolidation, the provision increased R$19,734 in the second quarter of 2011, registered in the parent company under financial results and other expenses, before income and social contribution taxes. 

 

Concerning judicial deposits, the Company awaits the legal opinion of the Office of the General Counsel to the National Treasury (PGFN) and the Federal Revenue Service (RFB) on the treatment given to the excess deposit generated after application of the reductions provided by the payment in cash modality.

 

The position of debits from Refis, recorded in taxes paid in installments in current and non-current liabilities was R$1,998,271 (R$1,410,062 on December 31, 2010) in the parent company and R$2,033,307 (R$1,444,207 on December 31, 2010) in the consolidated.

(*) The transfers to taxes payable in installments occurred after the adhesion to Law 11,941/09 and refer to the proceedings regarding Social Contribution on Net Income – Exports, COFINS Law 10,833/03, CIDE and IPI Premium Credit on exports.

 

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$4,570,130 of which R$3,265,607 corresponds to tax proceedings, R$304,860 to civil actions and R$999,663 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 contingencies

 

On June 30, 2011, the Company is defendant in 9,452 labor claims, with a provision in the amount of R$204,933 (R$183,141 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 contingencies

 

Among the civil judicial contingencies  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$57,637 on June 30, 2011 (R$54,113 on December 31, 2010) was recorded for contingencies  involving civil matters

 

Among the environmental administrative/legal contingencies 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 contingencies usually derive from controversies related to alleged damage to the environment, concerning the Company’s industrial activities. The Company recorded a balance for environmental-related lawsuits of R$5,330 (R$500 on December 31, 2010).

c) Tax contingencies

 

§  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”).

 

In 2004, the contingencies  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 June 30, 2011 the Company recorded R$343,435 (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) CSLL export (social contribution on income from export revenues)

 

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). Lawsuit’s restated amount included in the installment payment totaled R$365,466. 

 

With the inclusion of the lawsuit, the Company recorded a residual balance that cannot be included in the amount of R$6,728 (R$401,916 on December 31, 2010), which will be paid with the respective charges.

 

§  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 - June 30, 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, of which R$2,895 refer to excess deposits after the application of REFIS reductions that may converted into income. On June 30, 2011, there is a provision in the amount of R$3,246 (R$27,545 on December 31, 2010), which includes legal charges.

 

§  Salary premium for education – “Salário Educação”

 

The parent company challenged the unconstitutionality of the salary premium for education 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 June 30, 2011 totals R$33,121 (R$33,121 on December 31, 2010).

 

§  On-the-job accident 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.

 

The amount accrued on June 30, 2011, totals R$38,419 (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 in 60 installments.

 

§  IPI premium credit over 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.

ITR –– Quarterly Financial Information - June 30, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL 

 

Version: 1

 

 

The parent company challenged the constitutionality of this act and filed a claim to obtain the right to use the IPI premium credit over 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 June 30, 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 would only be 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 refunded.

 

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.

 

In August 2010, five administrative proceedings were excluded from the installment payment program set forth in Provisional Measure (MP) 470, amounting to R$1.8 billion. The Company 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. After analysis of the Appeals, RFB and PGFN approved the inclusion of most of these debits in the aforementioned installment payment plan, remaining the amount of R$79 million, which was included in the common payment in 60 installments.

 

§  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$87,568 on June 30, 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 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.

 

Provisions are measured by present value of expenses that shall be required to settle the obligation, using a rate before taxes, which reflects the market’s current valuations of cash value over time and the specific risks of obligation. The higher obligation due to passage of time is recognized as other operating expenses.

 

The long-term interest rate used for discount at present value and adjustments to provisions accounted for 11.00% on June 30, 2011. The constituted liabilities are periodically adjusted based on the discount rates and the interest rate (IGPM) at force in the period.

 

b) Decommissioning of Assets

 

Liabilities related to decommissioning of assets consist of costs estimates due to decommissioning or restoration of areas at the shutdown of mineral resources exploitation and extraction activities. Initial measurement is recognized as liability discounted at present value and subsequently by adding expenses over time. Assets decommissioning costs corresponding to the initial liability is capitalized as part of the book value of that asset that has been depreciated during the asset’s useful life period. The liability recorded on June 30, 2011 was R$14,195 in the Parent Company and R$22,885 in the consolidated (R$13,435 and R$17,421 on December 31, 2010).

26.   SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

 

According to the Company’s structure, its businesses are distributed in five operational segments. Consequently, CSN has analyzed its information by segment as follows:

 

·           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.

 

·           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 Naciona lMinérios 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.

 

·           Logistics 

i. Railroad

 

CSN holds stakes in two railroad 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.

 

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.

ITR –– Quarterly Financial Information - June 30, 2011 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL 

 

Version: 1

 

 

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) TransnordestinaLogística

 

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.

 

Transnordestina 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

The ports 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.

 

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.

 

·           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.

·           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, most of the clinker used in cement production is leased from third parties, however, the production by CSN itself began 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.   EMPLOYEE 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.

 

On June 30, 2011, CBS had 31,305 participants (30,540 on December 31, 2010), of which 16,271 were active taxpayers (15,433 on December 31, 2010), 9,812 were retired employees (9,888 on December 31, 2010) and 5,222 were contingent beneficiaries (5,219 on December 31, 2010). Out of total participants, on June 30, 2011, 13,948 belong to the defined benefit plan and 17,357 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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

 

Plan covering35% of average salary

 

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.

 

Supplementary average salary plan

 

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

 

Mixed 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-Employee Benefits and IAS 19 – Employee Benefits.

Unqualified 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 June 30, 2011, comprising the balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 and the statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-months periods then ended and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-months period then ended, including the summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual linterim 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.

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.
