INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Tele Norte Celular Participações S.A.
Belo Horizonte - MG


1.		We have performed a review of the accounting information presented in the Quarterly Information (company and consolidated) of Tele Norte Celular Participações S.A. (“Company”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008consisting of the balance sheet, the related statement of income, the performance report, and the notes to the Quarterly Information, all prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management.

2.		Our review was conducted in accordance with specific standards established by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (IBRACON), together with the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and consisted principally of: (a) inquiries of and discussions with certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for accounting, financial and operating matters about the criteria adopted in the preparation of the Quarterly Information; and (b) review of the information and subsequent events that had or might have had material effects on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

3.		Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the aforementioned accounting information presented in the Quarterly Information for them to be in conformity with the standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information, including CVM Instruction No. 469/08.

4.		As mentioned in note 2, on December 28, 2007, Law No. 11,638 was enacted and it is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. This Law altered, revoked and added new provisions to Law No. 6,404/76 (Brazilian Corporate Law) and introduced changes in Brazilian accounting practices. Although this Law has already become effective, some changes introduced by it are subject to regulation by regulatory agencies before being applied by companies. Accordingly, during this transition phase, CVM, through Instruction No. 469/08, has permitted companies not to apply all the provisions of Law No. 11,638/07 in the preparation of the Quarterly Information. Thus, the accounting information presented in the Quarterly Information for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 have been prepared in conformity with specific instructions of CVM and do not include all changes in accounting practices introduced by Law No. 11,638/07.

5.		The accompanying Quarterly Information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

Operating performance

Client base (not reviewed by independent accountants)

The Company’s client base totaled 1,405 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, in line with the 4Q07 (-0.8%) and 11.9% higher than the 1Q07. In march/08, prepaid segment reached 1,197 thousand clients, an increase of 15.5% over the 1Q07 and a slight decrease (-0.6%) over December/07, representing 85% of the total base.

Market share was estimated at 18.8% in the 1Q08 compared to the 20.3% registered in the previous quarter and 22.3% in the 1Q07. Gross sales share in the 1Q08 was estimated at 21.3%, 1.4 p.p. and 4.9 p.p. lower than the 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively.

Churn Rate (not reviewed by independent accountants)

Blended annualized churn rate reached 65.3% higher than the 35.2% and 35.9% recorded in the 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively. This increase is a result of higher prepaid churn rate associated to changes in the client disconnection policy during the year 2007.

Operating Revenues

Net revenues totaled R$114.1 million in the 1Q08, 1.1% and 13.2% lower than 1Q07 and 4Q07, respectively. The annual reduction is due to lower equipment revenues (-65%).

In service revenues, annual growth (+2.98%) occurred despite of lower blended ARPU, which reached R$26.0, representing a R$2.4 reduction during the period. When compared to the R$30.4 registered in the 4Q07, blended ARPU was reduced by R$4.4.

Operating costs and expenses

Cost of services totaled R$47.4 million in the 1Q08, 6.4% lower than the previous quarter. This reduction is related to lower Fistel expenses (reduced client base growth). When compared to the 1Q07, cost of services increased by R$0.5 million.

Selling and marketing expenses in the 1Q08 totaled R$22.1 million, 9.2% higher than the 4Q07, mainly due to higher personnel expenses. When compared to the 1Q07, selling and marketing expenses were reduced by 5.3% as a result of the closure of the Belém call center in the 1Q07, partially offset by the inventory adjustment to its market value.

General and administrative expenses totaled R$11.9 million in the 1Q08, 32.0% higher than the 4Q07, as a result of higher consulting expenses and provision for contingencies. When compared to the 1Q07, general and administrative expenses increased by R$3.2 million, due to higher personnel and consulting expenses.

Bad debt provisions totaled R$4.4 million in the 1Q08, slightly higher than the R$4.2 million recorded in the 4Q07 and R$1.1 million higher than the 1Q07 as a result of a slight deterioration in client credit profile.

Client acquisition cost reached R$94 in the 1Q08, 27.7% lower than R$130 recorded in the 4Q07, as a consequence of lower marketing expenses and subsidies. When compared to the first quarter of 2007, client acquisition cost decreased by R$46 due to lower promotional discounts and higher gross activation volume.

Retention costs reached R$12.2 million in the 1Q08, in line with the previous quarter and 18.1% lower than the R$14.9 million registered in the 1Q07. This reduction was a consequence of lower personnel expenses related to the closure of the Belem call center in the first quarter of 2007.

EBITDA (not reviewed by independent accountants)

In the 1Q08, EBITDA reached 38.0 million, 37.8% lower than 4Q07 and 33.7% higher than 1Q07. In the quarter, EBITDA margin reached 33.3% over total net revenues, an increase of 8.7 p.p. when compared to the 1Q07, but lower than the previous quarter (-13.2 p.p.). It’s worth mentioning that, in the 4Q07, EBITDA was positively impacted by the R$26.6 million ICMS reversal provision in the state of Pará. Without such impact EBITDA margin would have been 26.2%.

Depreciation and amortization

In the 1Q08, depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$26.4 million, 4.4% and 6.2% lower than 4Q07 and 1Q07, respectively, as a result of the end of depreciation on some network items in fixed assets.

04.01 - NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Operations

(a) Tele Norte Celular Participações S.A. (the “Company”) is a publicly-held corporation, operating as holding of Amazonia Celular S.A. Its equity interest in the operating subsidiary on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 89.78% of voting capital and 74.96% of the total capital.

The Company’s subsidiary holds five authorizations to provide cellular mobile services and all the activities necessary or useful to carry out these services, in conformity with the aforementioned authorizations in the States of Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão and Roraima.

The services offered and the rates charged by the Subsidiary are regulated by the National Telecommunications Agency -ANATEL, the regulatory authority for the Brazilian telecommunications industry, according to the General Law of Telecommunications and respective regulations.

On February 19, 2004, the Subsidiary and ANATEL signed Authorization Instruments for migration to the Personal Mobile Service (SMP), which took effect as from the publication of Act 42,671 in the Federal Official Gazette on March 1, 2004.

The SMP authorizations granted to the Subsidiary are effective for an undefined term. The radio frequency authorizations have the following maturities:


Region / Sector		Maturity


Region 1 - radio frequencies of 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz
Sector 13 - Maranhão		April, 2009
Sector 14 - Pará		March, 2009
Sector 15 - Amapá		May, 2009
Sector 16 - Amazonas		August, 2009
Sector 17 - Roraima		July, 2009

The radio frequency authorizations may be renewed for an additional 15-year term, and the extensions are granted on a remunerated basis. On August 16, 2006, the Subsidiary filed in ANATEL a request to obtain the extension of the right to use the radio frequencies associated to the authorization instrument of the personal mobile service. The request for extension is under analysis by ANATEL.

(b) The Subsidiary has been presenting negative net working capital. In view of that, the Subsidiary’s management has implemented several actions with the purpose of improving its financial efficiency trying to enhance its services revenue and to reduce costs and expenses, as a means of ensuring the improvement in operating margin of the Subsidiary.

In February, 2007 the Call Centers of Amazônia Celular S.A. and of the related company on March 31, 2008, Telemig Celular S.A., were integrated and started to operate uniquely in Belo Horizonte (Telemig Celular’s Head Office). This measure follows a trend in the national market, where the carriers seek to concentrate their call centers in large Relationship Centers, providing standardization and scale economy. As a result of this integration, the Company’s headcount was reduced in approximately 370 employees.

On October 2007, the Subsidiary launched Poupo product, a telephone that may be used at home, at work or anywhere that has a power outlet, at no cost, without need of a specialized technical visit or specific telephone inlet and with competitive fares as compared to the fixed telephony carriers.

Additionally, the Subsidiary has been reassessing its investment needs with the purpose to maintain its financial balance. The results of these actions have made possible the obtaining of resources with financial institutions and the extension of maturity dates of its loans and financing. In March, 2007 the Subsidiary obtained a loan with Banco ABN AMRO Real in the amount of US$48.6 million. In the third quarter 2007, at its own discretion, the Subsidiary anticipated the settlement of a portion of the principal amount of the loan obtained with Banco ABN AMRO Real in the amount of US$5.8 million.

In the second quarter 2007, the Subsidiary, also at its own discretion, performed the early settlement of the financings obtained with Unibanco/NIB and Unibanco/Nordea.

Consequently, the Subsidiary has managed to reduce its net debt and improve its operating results.

The Subsidiary’s Management believes that the cash flow from operations, together with new loans and financing to be obtained with the financial institutions and capital markets, will allow the Subsidiary to meet its financial and operating commitments along with upcoming years.

(c) On March 7, 2007 the Management Council of the National Telecommunications Agency - ANATEL approved the numerical portability in fixed and mobile telephones. The rule will allow the users of the Exchanged Fixed Telephone Service (STFC) and the Personal Mobile Service (SMP) to change carriers keeping their fixed or cellular phone number, as many times as they request.

The initial offer of portability, in experimental character, will start within 16 months, in capital cities to be chosen for implementation of the pilot-project and it will be totally available throughout the country within 24 months, from the publishing of the General Regulation of Portability in the Federal Official Gazette, occurred on March 21, 2007.

The Subsidiary has already contracted network and Information Technology solutions, as well as reviewed all operating processes needed to the introduction of the portability in August, 2008.

2 Significant Accounting Practices (Holding and consolidated)

(a) Presentation of the quarterly information and consolidation criteria

The quarterly information was prepared and is being presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which are based on the provisions of the Corporate Law, the rules set forth by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and rules applicable to the telecommunications operators.

The consolidated quarterly information includes the quarterly information of the Holding, Tele Norte Celular Participações S.A., of its direct subsidiary Amazônia Celular S.A. and the special purpose entities mentioned in Note 19, proportionally to their interest in these entities.

The actual results may differ from the estimates.

The referred quarterly information is presented in thousands of reais, except as otherwise indicated.

(b) Change to the Brazilian Corporate Law, effective as of January, 2008

In December 28, 2007 Law Nr. 11638 was enacted, which modifies the provisions of the Corporations Law - Law nr. 6404/76. The referred law sets forth several changes about the preparation of financial statements, aiming at alignment with the accounting standards generally accepted in the international capital markets and allows the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) to issue norms to the publicly traded corporations. The main changes introduced by the Law are applicable as of 2008 and refer to: (i) replacement of the statements of changes in financial position by the statements of cash flows; (ii) obligation of the preparation of statement of value added ; (iii) possibility to include the tax recording into the accounting booking, with segregation between the accounting and tax statements; (iv) creation of the sub-group valuation adjustments to shareholders’ equity , in the Shareholders’ Equity section; (v) establishment of the evaluation and classification criteria for the financial instruments; (vi) obligation of perform impairment evaluation of the non current assets; (vii) changes in the application of the equity method of accounting; (viii) donations and investment subventions recognition criteria; (ix) obligation of recording the new assets at fair market value, in case of mergers, acquisitions or spin-offs.and (x) introduction of the present value adjustment for the long term assets and liabilities operations and for the significant short term operations.

The Company already adopts the disclosure of the statements of cash flows, on its end of year financial statements and the segregation of intangibles in the fixed assets section.

On May 02, 2008, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM issued the Instruction nr. 469 which provides for the application of Law nr. 11638/07. This instruction, among other aspects, confirms the position of the referred entity that it is optional the full application of Law 11638/07 to the quarterly financial information, however, the companies that elect for its not application should disclose in explanatory note, the changes that might impact the year-end financial statements. Additionally, the Instruction CVM nr. 469 required immediate application of some provisions, among which: (i) the mandatory disclosure of information about stock-based compensation; (ii) the mandatory adjustments to present value for long term assets and liabilities transactions and for relevant short term transactions, and (v) the change to the affiliate evaluating parameters to the equity method of accounting.

The Company assessed the impacts of the provisions of immediate and mandatory application of the Instruction CVM nr. 469 and, except for the disclosure of information about the stock-based compensation that is under Note 17 to these quarterly financial information, the application of the referred Instruction has not generated material impacts to the income statement of the period, to shareholders’ equity or to the Company’s disclosures.

Still in compliance to Instruction CVM nr. 469, the Company assessed the impacts of the changes provided by Law 11,638, the Company, at this moment, believes that the following items may be of certain relevance to its financial statements: (i) the preparation of statement of value added in its annual financial statements; (ii) the accounting treatment to be given to the deferred assets presented in non current assets of this quarterly information and (iii) the recognition of fair value of certain financial instruments, disclosed in comparison to the accounting values in Note 19 to this quarterly information.

With regards to the other changes not yet introduced, the Company’s management understands it depends on the regulations to be issued by the competent entities to estimate the effects resulting of the referred Law and, in its assessment, based on the currently existing local and international pronouncements, the effects would not be relevant to its financial statements.

The Subsidiary has 75% tax benefit reduction in the income tax generated in the ADA’s inventive areas – Amazon Development Areas – in the Units of Para, Amazonas and Roraima, for a period of 10 years counted from 2004. With regards to the Units of Amapa and Maranhao, the obtaining of the tax benefit is in phase of confirmation by the Federal Revenue Service.

In the fiscal year of 2007, the Subsidiary changed the tax regime on foreign exchange gains, from the accrual basis regime to cash regime. The deferred income tax and social contribution liabilities refer to the gains from foreign exchange variation calculated by the accrual regime not yet taxes.

Pursuant to CVM Instruction n°. 371/2002, at the end of 2007, the management of the Company and it’s Subsidiary prepared technical feasibility studies on the future realization of the deferred tax assets, considering the probable capacity of future taxable income generation by the Company and by the Subsidiary, in the scope of the main variables of its businesses that may, therefore, undergo changes. These studies were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and Subsidiary on February 25, 2008 and examined by the Fiscal Council on February 26, 2008.

Through the referred technical study, on December 31, 2007, it was identified that a portion of the deferred income tax and social contribution balance of the Company, in the amount of R$49,276, and the Subsidiary, in the amount of R$14,850 will be realized beyond the ten-year horizon allowed by CVM Instruction 371/2002. Therefore, a provision for loss in the realization of these assets, in these amounts, was booked.

The studies will be revised up to the end of fiscal year 2008 and the results of such reviews will be reflected in the corresponding financial statements.

In the first quarter 2008 and during the year of 2007, in function of the inexistence of profitability history (generation of taxable income) by the Company, a credit of deferred income tax and social contribution was recorded only on the tax loss and negative basis generated by the goodwill amortization. The credit recorded equals to the amount of tax credit on the goodwill realized in the quarter, in such a way that the total balance of deferred income tax and social contribution assets has not been changed.

The tax credits on tax loss and negative basis generated by other operations and on temporary additions have not been recorded. On March 31, 2008, the unrecorded tax credits totaled R$3,689 (December 31, 2007 – R$3,525).

Despite the technical study prepared by the Subsidiary indicates that the taxable income in the 10 year period will be enough for the realization of the tax credit in the amount of R$89,354, Management decided, in observance to the CVM Instruction 371/2002, not review the additional reversal of the provision in the amount of R$7,223, in function of the inexistence of profitability history (generation of taxable income) in the past years by the Subsidiary.

The credits related to the provisions temporarily non deductible, mainly tax contingencies and allowance for doubtful accounts, will be realized to the extent the corresponding matters are concluded.

As mentioned in Note 1(b), Amazonia Celular S.A. management has been implementing several actions aiming at improving the Subsidiary’s operating margin. Management believes that the actions already implemented in 2007 together with other actions that will be implemented in 2008 will generate enough taxable income in the future by the Subsidiary

According to the projections made by Subsidiary’s management, long term deferred income tax and social contribution will be realized in the following years:


Year of Use		Consolidated

2010		2,500
2011		5,548
2012		7,616
2013		9,871
2014		12,967
2015 to 2017		43,629

Total (As of 03/31/2008)		82,131

As the taxable base of the income tax and social contribution arises not only from the profit that may be generated but also from the existence of non-taxable revenues, non-deductible expenses, tax incentives and other variables, there is no immediate correlation between the Company’s net income and the tax income and social contribution results. Therefore, the expectation of use of the tax credits must not be taken as the only indication of the Company’s and its Subsidiary’s future results.

In the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for the year ended on December 31, 2006, the Company’s Management at that time, having in view the losses accumulated in the last years and considering the expectation of negative results in near future, decided, pursuant SFAS 109 – Accounting for Income Taxes, to record a provision for losses for the totality of the deferred asset (including the Company’s balances), notwithstanding the fact that the components of the deferred tax asset do not expire and that the projections of future results are more favorable as from the full depreciation of the TDMA equipment network and of the actions implemented by the Management mentioned above.

The USGAAP adjustments mentioned above will be reviewed for the preparation of the financial statements under those principles referring to the fiscal year of 2007. This review will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

(a) Tax contingencies

i. Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS) on monthly subscription, value added services and activation –

The management, supported by its legal advisors, understands that ICMS should be levied only on telecommunications services and, therefore, the assessment on monthly subscriptions and activation is illegal, since these are not deemed telecommunications services. The Subsidiary filed five judicial lawsuits, being one for each state where the Subsidiary operates, to discuss the legality of the ICMS assessment on services of monthly subscription, value added services and other five judicial lawsuits, also one for each state, to discuss the ICMS incidence on the amounts referred to activation.

Regarding the actions challenging the ICMS levied on activation fees, the legal actions filed in the States of Amazonas, Roraima, Amapá and Maranhão were favorable to the Subsidiary, and are final and non appealable. With regards to the State of Pará, the action is underway in the Court of Justice of this State.

With regards to the ICMS on subscription and value added services, in the State of Amapa, the processed has gone through final sentence in 2004. In the other states, the situation is as follows:

• State of Pará

On February 21, 2005, the Court of Justice of the State of Pará rendered a decision in favor of the Subsidiary. On April 18, 2005, the Court of Justice of the State of Pará issued an order authorizing the release of the judicial deposits, given that the decision became final and non appealable in view of expiration of the statute of limitation. Deposits in the amount of R$6,944 were released and the corresponding provision was reversed. However, the Decision was reissued and the State Attorney General filed an appeal, which was ruled to be timely. The Office of the State Attorney General filed another appeal, however, the Court of Justice of Para, by unanimous decision, judged the theme favorably to the Subsidiary.

In the year of 2006 and from January to November, 2007 in function of the appeal filed by the State Attorney’s Office, and while there was no final decision of the decision favorable to the Subsidiary, Management made the provision for this obligation.

On December 27, 2007, the Subsidiary and the State of Para entered into an agreement to settle the legal suit. At that date, the Para’s State Attorney General filet a petition of waiver of the judicial litigation and recognized the Subsidiary’s right in not paying ICMS on subscription fees and value added services. Therefore, in December, 2007 the Subsidiary made the reversal of the amounts provisioned for. The amount reversed in 2007, net of judicial deposits written-of in the amount of R$1,803, totaled R$30,557, being that R$5,253 were recorded as sales deductions, R$21,358 as administrative expenses and R$3,946 as financial expenses.

On March 31, 2008, the Subsidiary and the State of Para executed a new term of agreement, where the Para’s State Government recognized the right and authorized the Subsidiary to credit the amount of R$12,811, unduly paid in the period from 1998 to 2004 as ICMS on “Subscription Fees and Value-Added Services”. This credit was recorded in the Subsidiary’s balance sheet as ICMS Recoverable (current assets), in counterparty to other operating income in the statement of income.

• State of Amazonas

The Court of Justice of the State rendered a decision against the Subsidiary on June 18, 2003, against which the Subsidiary filed Special and Extraordinary appeals with the Higher Courts (Superior Court of Justice and Federal Supreme Court). The provision recorded on March 31, 2008 amounted to R$14,267 (December 31, 2007 - R$13,226), with corresponding judicial deposits in the same amount (December 31, 2007 - R$13,226).

Despite the opinion of the legal counsel of the Subsidiary that the chances of loss in this proceeding are possible, the Management understands it is a legal obligation, under the terms of Resolution CVM N° 489/2005.

• State of Roraima

In Roraima, the Superior Court of Justice rendered a decision in favor of the Subsidiary on December 14, 2004. The Office of the Attorney General of the State of Roraima filed a Motion for Clarification, which was denied by the Superior Court of Justice on April 7, 2005. The State Attorney General filed a Divergence Motion, which was also denied by the Superior Court of Justice on September 29, 2005. The State Office of the Attorney General filed a Regulatory Appeal, equally denied by the Superior Court of Justice on March 22, 2006. For this reason, they filed an Extraordinary Appeal with the Federal Supreme Court, or STF, which was once again denied. Finally, on December 14, 2006 the State Office of the Attorney General filed an Interlocutory Appeal with the Federal Supreme Court, which is pending judgment. The Federal Supreme Court, on 09/21/2007 denied the continuity of the interlocutory appeal. On October 19, 2007 the State of Roraima filed a Regimental Appeal at the Federal Supreme Court against this decision.

On March 31, 2008, the provision for this obligation totaled R$13,551 (December 31, 2007 – R$13,187) with the judicial deposits corresponding to the same amount (December 31, 2007 – R$13,187).

Despite the opinion of the legal counsel of the Subsidiary that the chances of loss in this proceeding are possible, the Management keeps a provision for the amounts being discussed because it understands this is a legal obligation, under the terms of Resolution CVM N° 489/2005.

• State of Maranhão

On August 6, 2002, the Court of Justice of Maranhão rendered a decision in favor of the Subsidiary. Accordingly, the judicial deposits were released in January 2003 and the provision was reversed in 2002. Despite the issuance, by the Court of Justice of the State of Maranhão, of the res judicata certificate, the Office of the Attorney General of the State Treasury filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court and with the Superior Court of Justice, which remanded the case to the Court of Justice of Maranhão for a new judgment. The Subsidiary filed a motion for clarification, which was denied by the Superior Court of Justice. On May 03, 2007, the process returned to new trial by the Maranhao’s Court of Justice.

On March 31, 2008 the provision for this obligation totaled R$23,648 (December 31, 2007 – R$24,068), without the corresponding judicial deposits.

ii. Telecommunications Inspection Fee - FISTEL

The Subsidiary filed a writ of mandamus questioning the responsibility for the payment of inspection fees on mobile stations, which are not owned by the Subsidiary, and started to accrual and deposit in court the amounts related to the Operating Inspection Fee (TFF) and the Installation Inspection Fee (TFI).

In the understanding of Management of the Subsidiary and its legal advisors, the chances of loss in these processes are possible. However, for being a legal obligation under the terms of the Resolution CVM N° 489/2005, the Subsidiary recorded a provision for this obligation. The provision recorded on March 31, 2008 was R$116,245 (December 31, 2007 - R$96,418), with corresponding court deposits in the same amount.

iii. Fund for Universalization of Telecommunication Services - FUST

Based on Article 6 of Law 9998/2000, which instituted the FUST, the subsidiary does not include in the calculation base for the contribution the revenues obtained by providers of telecommunication services on account of remuneration for interconnection and for the use of its network resources.

On December 15, 2005 the ANATEL’s Management Board approved Compendium 7, which determines the inclusion of the mentioned revenues in the calculation base for FUST, with application retroactive to January 2001.

In the understanding of Management and of its legal counsel, the ANATEL Compendium 7 violates the principles of Law 9998/2000, as well as certain constitutional provisions. On January 2006 the mobile carriers filed a Writ of Mandamus with the purpose of protecting their legitimate rights of continuing to pay FUST without any broadening of the calculation base not provided by law.

On November 16, 2006 the Subsidiary received 48 Assessment Notices related to FUST on the revenues from interconnection in 2001. On November 17, 2006, it received another 36 Assessment Notices that were duplicates of those received on November 16. The Notices total R$7,633. The pertinent Administrative Appeals were filed on December 14, 2006. On September 03, 2007 the Subsidiary received 12 additional Assessment Notices in the amount of R$1,069 related to FUST on the revenues from interconnection of 2002, being that the appeals to the assessments will be filed by the law firm retained.

Corroborating the above understanding, on March 5, 2007, The Honorable Federal Judge of the 3^rd Lower Court of the Federal District judged the action in favor of the Subsidiary, permitting calculation and payment of the FUST contribution on the total amount of the gross operating revenue deriving from rendering of telecommunication services, without inclusion of the amounts for transfer of interconnection charges. ANATEL filed interlocutory appeal in Court which is still pending judgment.

On December 21, 2007, the Subsidiary received 36 more Assessment Notices in the amount of R$2,624 referring to FUST on interconnection revenues of the year 2002, being that appeals have already bee filed by the law firm retained.

Therefore, the FUST obligation on interconnection revenues has been suspended.

Additionally, In the understanding of Management and of its legal counsel, the chances of success in these proceedings are possible, both in the administrative and in the legal levels.

Therefore, no provision for this contingency has been recorded. On March 31, 2008 the total amount involved was R$11,951 (December 31, 2007 – R$11,939).

iv. Fund for Telecommunications Technological Development - FUNTTEL

Based on the provisions of Law 10,052/2000 and Decree . 3,737/2001, which instituted FUNTELL, the Subsidiary does not include in the calculation of its contribution, the revenues obtained by providers of telecommunication services on account of remuneration for interconnection and for the use of its network resources.

The Ministry of Communications took advantage of the interpretation given by ANATEL in publishing the Compendium 07/2005 to also assess and collect the FUNTELL on revenues from interconnection, however, without any regulation that authorizes this collection.

This way, on December 11, 2006 the Subsidiary received 04 Assessment Notices from the Ministry of Communications related to the FUNTTEL on interconnection revenues in 2001, amounting to R$ 2,100. The legal advisors has filed administrative appeal which is still pending judgment.

In the understanding of Management and its legal advisors, the interpretation of the Ministry of Communications is against the provisions of Law . 10,052/2000 and Decree 3,737/2001, in addition to several constitutional provisions.

On October 11, 2007 the Subsidiary filed, together with the other cellular carriers, an Interlocutory Injunction to question the collection of FUNTTEL on interconnection revenues.

On November 12, 2007 the preliminary decision favorable was given by the Judge of the 4^th Federal Court allowing the Subsidiary to calculate and pay the contribution to the FUNTTEL on the total amount of its gross operating revenue from telecommunications services, without the inclusion of the amounts of the interconnection transfers.

Therefore, in function of the aforementioned preliminary decision, the requirement to collect FUNTTEL on interconnection revenues has been suspended.

On November 29, 2007, the Subsidiary received 01 Assessment Notice from the Ministry of Communications referring to the FUNTELL (year 2002) on interconnection revenues, the amount of R$750 thousand. The legal advisors has presented the administrative appeal which is still pending judgment.

Additionally, In the understanding of Management and of its legal advisors, the chances of success in these administrative proceedings are possible.

Thus, no provision was recorded for this contingency. On March 31, 2008, the total amount involved was R$6,963 (December 31, 2007 - R$7,013).

v. Other tax contingencies

The Subsidiary is party to other tax proceedings for which a provision of R$1,866 on March 31, 2008 (December 31, 2007 – R$1,895). The corresponding judicial deposits amounted to R$140 on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

On October 5, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company approved two long-term incentive plans, described as below:

The bonuses will be earned and shares would be issued only to the extent that the Company achieve its performance goals determined by the Board of Directors during a five-year performance period. On March 31, 2008, all the options granted were expired.

(b) Plan B – This plan covers some of the Company and Subsidiary’s key-executives and other employees. Options granted in such plan refer to preferred shares of Company exercised at the market price at the time they are granted. The option exercise is 20% during the second year, 60% during the third year and 100% during the fourth year, and they could be exercised up to October, 2007. The options expired in October 2007 with no exercise performed by the executives.

The Board of Directors of the Subsidiary and the Company, at meetings held on December 29 and 30, 2003, respectively, approved changes to plan B, introducing new grants.

The plan continues to cover some of the Company’s key-executives and the new stock options granted remain related to the preferred shares of the Company. However, these new options have an exercise price corresponding to the market price at the time they are granted, with a discount of 20%. The right to option exercise is 40% as from January 2004, 70% as from January 2005, and 100% as from January 2006. These options may be exercised until January 2008. The options expired on January, 2008 without being exercised by the executives.

18 Financial Instruments (consolidated)

The Company and Subsidiary participate in transactions involving financial instruments in order to reduce the exposure to interest and currency risks. Management of these risks is conducted by definition of strategies and determination of limits of exposure.

(a) Foreign exchange rate and interest rate risk

Foreign exchange rate and interest rate risks relate to the possibility of the Company and Subsidiary incurring losses arising from exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, increasing its debt balance for loans and financing obtained in the market and corresponding interest expenses. In order to reduce such risks, the Company carries out hedge transactions, through currency and interest rate swap contracts.

On March 31, 2008, the restated amount of swap contracts totaled R$149,393 (December 31, 2007 – R$153,510). The contracts mature between April 2008 and January 2009.

Gains and losses in operations arise from differences in variations of contracted indicators against reference indexes (yield curve) and are accounted for on the accrual basis under interest income or expenses. In the accumulate up to March, 2008, net losses on swap operations amounted to R$5,320 (First quarter, 2007 - R$10,876). In the same period the gain with foreign exchange variation, mainly related to the foreign denominated debt, totaled R$1,955 (First quarter, 2007 – R$8,559).

On March 31, 2008, the net amount payable relating to swap contracts amounted to R$51,561, classified as current liabilities (December 31, 2007 – R$53,264 - of which R$45,815 are recorded at long-term liabilities and R$7,449 as current liabilities).

On March 31, 2008, the Company and the Subsidiary had loans and financing in the amount of R$149,885 (December 31, 2007 - R$151,788) denominated in foreign currency, of which 100% (December 31, 2007 – 100%) were covered by hedge operations.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable arises from telecommunications services billed and to be billed, resale of handsets and distribution of prepaid cards. The Subsidiary continuously monitors credit granted to its customers and the delinquency level.

Customer access to telecommunications services is blocked when a bill is overdue for more than 15 days, except for telephone services to be maintained for security or national defense reasons. The credit risk of accounts receivable of telecommunications mobile services is diversified. The Subsidiary maintains credit limits for handset resellers and prepaid card distributors which are defined based on potential sales, risk history, payment promptness and delinquency levels. On March 31, 2008, the Subsidiary had provision to cover eventual losses on accounts receivable amounted to R$44,597 (December 31, 2007 – R$42,780) - Note 6.

Transactions with financial institutions (financial investments and swap contracts) are distributed among prime financial institutions, minimizing the credit risk and avoiding concentration.

There is no concentration of funds available that have not been mentioned above, which could, if suddenly eliminated, severely impact the Company and the Subsidiary operations.

(c) Market value of financial instruments

The market values of the financial assets and liabilities are determined based on available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could cause a different effect on the estimated market values.

The accounting balances of financial investments on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are equivalent to market values, as they are recorded at realization value. The market values of loans and financing and of swap operations were calculated according to the present value of these financial instruments, considering the interest rate practiced by the market for operations of similar nature, term and risk, as shown below:


	Consolidated

	03.31.08		12.31.07

	Book	Market	Book	Market
	value	value	value	value


Financial investments	2,945	2,945	5,619	5,619

Loans and financing	149,885	152,213	151,788	153,911

The hedge operations are recognized on a monthly basis in the income statement, considering the yield curve (Note 18 (a)).
