EXPLANATORY NOTE - AMENDMENT

ArvinMeritor, Inc. (the “company” or “ArvinMeritor) is filing this Form 10-K/A to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2009 (the “Annual Report”), pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, financial statements and related notes of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“MSA”) and Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“SSA”), unconsolidated joint ventures in which the company owns an interest. ArvinMeritor owns a 49% interest in MSA (directly) and a 50% interest in SSA (through both direct and indirect interests).

Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X provides that if a 50% or less owned person accounted for by the equity method meets the first or third condition of the significant subsidiary tests set forth in Rule 1-02(w), substituting 20% for 10%, separate financial statements for such 50% or less owned person shall be filed.

MSA met such test for ArvinMeritor’s 2008 fiscal year and the company has included in this Form 10-K/A the required audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (“2008”). MSA did not meet the significance test for ArvinMeritor’s 2009 and 2007 fiscal years. Consequently, ArvinMeritor is only required to file unaudited financial statements for 2009 and 2007 fiscal years. However, since MSA’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (“2007”) were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in a prior year filing, the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2007 have been included in this Form 10-K/A for comparative purposes. ArvinMeritor has also included in this Form 10-K/A MSA’s unaudited financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009”).

SSA met the significant subsidiary test for ArvinMeritor’s 2008 fiscal year and the company has included in this Form 10-K/A the required audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. SSA did not meet the significance test for ArvinMeritor’s 2009 and 2007 fiscal years. Consequently, ArvinMeritor is only required to file unaudited financial statements for 2009 and 2007 fiscal years. However, since SSA’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (“2007”) were filed with the SEC in a prior year filing, audited financial statements for fiscal year 2007 have been included in this Form 10-K/A for comparative purposes. ArvinMeritor has also included in this Form 10-K/A, SSA’s unaudited financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The financial statements of MSA and SSA are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil, a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP. Since SSA met a 30% significance test set forth in Rule 3-09 for 2008 (i.e. in one of the years for which financial statements are presented), a quantitative reconciliation of key items presented under accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil with those of U.S. GAAP is required for all years for which financial statements of SSA are presented. Such reconciliations are included for SSA for 2009, 2008 and 2007. Since MSA met the significance test for 2008 at the 20% level and not the 30% level, only a narrative description of differences between these two bases of accounting is required for 2008 for MSA, which is included in MSA’s financial statements.

Item 15 is the only portion of the Annual Report being supplemented or amended by this Form 10-K/A. Additionally, in connection with the filing of this Form 10-K/A and pursuant to SEC rules, ArvinMeritor is including currently dated certifications. This Form 10-K/A does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with ArvinMeritor’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. - Caxias do Sul – RS

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Master Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”), a company incorporated in Brazil, as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the statement of value added for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

As mentioned in Note 3.10 to the financial statements, changes in Brazilian accounting practices have been introduced effective January 1, 2008. The statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been prepared in conformity with Brazilian accounting practices in effect until December 31, 2007 and as permitted by Technical Pronouncement 13 – First-time Adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 448/09, are not being restated. Consequently, the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 may not be comparable with the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In preparing the financial statements for 2008, the Company adopted for the first time the new accounting practices introduced by Law 11638/07, approved on December 28, 2007, as amended by Provisional Act 449 of December 3, 2008.

Law 11638/07 and the Provisional Act 449/08 altered Law 6404/76 in aspects related to the preparation and disclosure of financial statements.

Adjustments related to the first-time adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 449/08 are set forth in note 3.10.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

3.1 Income recognition

Income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized in the statement of income when all risks and benefits inherent in the product are transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services provided is recognized in the statement of income when services are rendered.

3.2. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Accounting practices adopted in Brazil requires Management to use its judgment in determining and recording accounting estimates. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the net book value of property, plant and equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and deferred tax assets, reserve for contingencies, and assets and liabilities related to employees’ benefits. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in values different from those we estimated due to lack of precision inherent to the process of their determination.

3.3 Foreign currency

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were translated into Brazilian reais at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date, and currency translation differences were recognized in the statement of income.

3.4 Current and noncurrent assets

Cash and cash equivalents

These include cash balances, bank deposits and temporary cash investments redeemable within 90 days from the investment date. Temporary cash investments are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to a very low risk of change in their market value.

Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the billed amount plus related taxes and are recorded at present value on the balance sheet date.

Inventories

Stated at average acquisition or production cost, which does not exceed market value.

Other current and noncurrent assets

Stated at their net realizable value.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Stated at acquisition or construction cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method at rates stated in Notes 10 and 11, based on the estimated useful life of assets.

Deferred charges

Recorded at incurred cost up to December 31, 2007, and amortized using the straight-line method at a rate of 20% per year, from completion date of respective projects.

3.5 Loans and financing

Loans are initially recognized at fair value at the time the resources are received, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, that is, including charges, interest and monetary and exchange variations, as provided for in the contract, incurred up to the balance sheet date, as shown in Note 13.

3.6 Current and noncurrent liabilities

Stated at known or estimated amounts, plus, if applicable, related charges and monetary and/or exchange variations through to the balance sheet date. The trade accounts payable balances are recorded at their present value on the balance sheet date.

3.7 Financial instruments

(a) Classification and measurement

Financial assets and liabilities kept by the Company are classified under the following categories: (1) financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss; and (2) financial assets and liabilities held to maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The management of the Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the moment they are contracted.

Financial assets and liabilities held to maturity

Financial assets and liabilities held to maturity are mainly comprised of the short-term investments and loans and financing. They are measured at the acquisition cost plus income earned according to the contracted terms and conditions, in the case of short-term investments, and at the amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, in the case of loans and financing, recorded to statement of income on the accrual basis.

(b) Derivatives

Initially, they are measured at the acquisition costs on the date they are contracted and then remeasured at the fair value, with variations recorded through profit and loss.

Evaluation of derivate financial instruments at the fair value is usually made by the Company’s treasury department based on information on each contracted operation and respective market data on each balance sheet date. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are shown in Note 18.

3.8 Contingencies

A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recorded based on the best estimates of the involved risk.

3.9 Income and social contribution taxes

The income tax and social contribution, current and deferred, are calculated at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax on monthly taxable income in excess of R$ 20 for income tax, and 9% on monthly taxable income for social contribution. This calculation takes into consideration the offsetting of tax loss carryforwards, limited to 30% of the taxable income.

3.10 First-time adoption of Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09

The Company’s management opted to prepare its opening balance sheet with the transition date of January 1, 2008, which is the starting point for accounting in conformity with amendments introduced by Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09. The changes introduced by said legislation are qualified as a change in accounting policy, however, as permitted by Technical Pronouncement CPC 13 – First-time Adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 449/08 (converted in Law 11941/09), approved by CVM Resolution 565 of December 17, 2008, all of the adjustments resulting from the first-time adoption of Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09 were made directly in retained earnings on the transition date, in conformity with the provisions of Article 186 of Law 6404/76, without retrospective effects on the financial statements.

3.11 Changes in Brazilian accounting practices effective from January 1, 2010

With the advent of Law no. 11638/07, which amended the Brazilian corporate law to enable the convergence of accounting practices adopted in Brazil with those contained in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), new standards and technical accounting pronouncements have been issued in line with international standards by Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC).

As of the date of preparation of these financial statements, 40 new technical accounting pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations had been issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM Deliberations and resolutions of the Federal Accounting Council - CFC, with mandatory implementation in 2010. Pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations of the CPC that are applicable to the Company, given its current operations, are:

In the case of adjustments arising from adoption of new practices from January 1, 2010, the Company will assess the need to remeasure the effects that would be produced in its financial statements for 2009, for comparison, as if these new procedures had been in place since the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2009.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

Criteria, assumptions and limitations used in the calculation of the market value

Temporary cash investments

The balances of temporary cash investments have their market values close to book balances.

Short-term investments

The balances of short-term investments have their market values close to their book balances.

Trade accounts receivable

The balances of accounts receivable have their market values close to their book balances.

Receivables from parent company and other receivables

The balance of accounts receivables from parent company and other accounts receivable have their market values close to their book values.

Trade accounts payable

The balances of trade accounts payable have their market values close to their book values.

Payables to related companies and other accounts payable

The balances of accounts payable to related companies and other accounts payable have their market values close to their book values.

Loans and financing

Loans and financing are recorded at the contractual interest of each transaction, as shown in Note no. 13.

Derivatives

The Company’s policy is to eliminate market risks by avoiding taking positions exposed to fluctuations in market values and by operating only with instruments allowing the control of such risks. Derivative contracts are made up of non-deliverable forward (NDF) operations.

Limitations

The market values were estimated at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information. The changes in the assumptions may significantly affect the estimates presented.

Management of financial risks

The Company is exposed to the following risks associated with its operating activities and financing, including the utilization of its financial instruments:

i. Credit risk
ii. Market risk

The Company, through its Parent Company, has Hedge Transaction Policy prepared by the Planning and Finance Committee and endorsed by the Executive Board. The objective of such policy is to standardize the procedures of the Company while defining responsibilities and limitations involving hedge operations. These procedures are aimed to reduce the effects of fluctuation if exchange rates of foreign currency amounts estimated in the cash flow with no speculative purposes.

The monthly-estimated cash flow in foreign currency is taken as a basis for the twelve following months, either based on the Strategic Plan projections or on the updated expectations of each company. The instruments used are conservative and are previously approved by the same committee. For the transactions contracted, instruments used are Non deliverable forwards (NDF).

a. Credit risk

The sales policies of the Company are governed by credit policies determined by its management and are intended to minimize customer default risks. This objective is achieved by management through a careful selection of the customer portfolio, which considers the customers ability to pay (credit analysis).

b. Market risk

Represented by the risk that changes in the market, such as changes in the exchange rates, interest rates and in prices will affect the income of the Company or the value of its financial instruments. The objective in managing market risks is to control the exposure to market risks within acceptable parameters, optimizing their return.

Foreign exchange rate risk

The results of the Company are susceptible to significant variations due to the effects of the volatility of the foreign exchange rates on assets and liabilities indexed to foreign currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar, which closed 2009 with a negative variation of 25.49% (positive variation of 32% in 2008).

The Company is exposed to currency risk (exchange rate risk) on sales, purchases and loans denominated in a currency different from that usually used by the Company.

The Company contracts derivative transactions to hedge part of its foreign exchange rate exposure, with maturities normally below one year from the balance sheet date.

Non Deliverable Forward – (NDF)

For these transactions, the Company has obligations based on a previously contracted quotation at the time of their maturity. Changes in the market value of these transactions are recorded in the statement of income for the period. On December 31, 2009 (Unaudited), the company does not have any NDF operation.

The Company's net exposure to the risk of exchange rate on December 31 is as below:

	2009		2008
	Unaudited
A. Financing	(4,533	)	(12,657	)
B. Suppliers / Commissions	(1,148	)	(6,788	)
C. Customers	7,389		14,868
D. Non Deliverable Forward	-		(4,385	)
E. Net exposure (A+B+C+D)	1,708		(8,962	)

Interest rate risk

The results of the Company are susceptible to significant variations arising from loans and financing contracted at floating interest rates.

The Company does not have derivative financial instruments to protect variations in interest rates.

In accordance with its financial policies, the Company has not conducted operations involving financial instruments on a speculative basis.

Price risk

Price risk relates to the possibility of fluctuations in market prices of the products sold or manufactured by the Company and other inputs used in the manufacturing process. These price oscillations may cause substantial alterations in the income and costs of the Company. To mitigate these risks, the Company continuously monitors the local and international markets, seeking to anticipate price movements.

Estimated fair values

Fair values were estimated at the balance sheet date, based on "relevant market information". Changes in assumptions and in financial market transactions may significantly affect those estimates. Methods and assumptions adopted by the Company to estimate the disclosure of its derivatives’ fair values at the balance sheet date are described below:

Fair value is typically based on market price quotations for assets or liabilities with similar characteristics. If these market prices are not available, fair values are based on market operator quotations, pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques, for which the determination of fair value may require significant judgment or estimates by management. Market price quotations are used to determine the fair value of these derivative instruments.

The table below shows the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives on December 31. The nominal outstanding values, exposed to U.S. dollar variation, as well as their respective fair values, are as follows:

22.	SUMMARY OF THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES ADOPTED IN BRAZIL (BR GAAP) AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (U.S. GAAP)

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with BR GAAP. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements summarizes the accounting policies adopted by the Company. BR GAAP differs from U.S. GAAP in certain significant respects, which are summarized below:

(a) Deferred charges

BR GAAP allowed until December 31, 2007 the deferral of pre-operating expenses and certain expenses related to research and development. Under BR GAAP, these items are amortized over a period of five to ten years. Under U.S. GAAP, these are recorded as expenses when incurred.

(b) VAT tax incentive - Fundopem

Under BR GAAP, prior to January 1, 2008, tax incentives related to certain state taxes on revenues were recorded directly in shareholders’ equity. Under U.S. GAAP, these tax incentives are recorded in the statement of income. Beginning January 1, 2008, the tax incentive is recorded in the statement of income under BR GAAP.

Under accounting practices adopted in Brazil, prior to January 1, 1996 the Company was not required to capitalize the interest cost of borrowed funds as part of the cost of the related asset. Under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of borrowed funds during construction of major facilities is recognized as part of the cost of the related assets.

Under Brazilian GAAP exchange losses on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are capitalized. Under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of exchange losses is not permitted.

(d) Pension Plan Surplus

Under Brazilian GAAP, the excess of the fair value of the pension plan assets over the projected benefit obligation is not recognized as an asset on the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP, the asset is recognized on the balance sheet as prepaid pension cost.

(e) Dividends

Under BR GAAP, proposed dividends are accounted for in the financial statements in anticipation of their approval by the shareholders’ meeting. Distributions characterized as interest on shareholders’ equity as well as minimum compulsory dividends are accrued for under both BR GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Any excess of proposed dividends over either the minimum compulsory dividend or distributions characterized as interest on shareholders’ equity would not be accounted for under U.S. GAAP, if such proposed dividends are subject to approval at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

(f) New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (FAS 167). FAS 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and amends the consolidation guidance for variable interest entities. Additionally, FAS 167 will require additional disclosures about involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. FAS 167 is effective January 1, 2010 for companies reporting on a calendar-year basis. We currently do not expect the adoption of the revised standard to have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (FAS 166). FAS 166 is a revision to FAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,” and will require more information about transfer of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and enhanced disclosures when companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. Additionally, FAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity. FAS 166 is effective January 1, 2010 for companies reporting on a calendar-year basis. We currently do not expect the adoption of the revised standard to have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted.

(g) Other Comprehensive Income

Under U.S. GAAP, guidance on the reporting of comprehensive income requires the disclosure of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and “other comprehensive income”, which include charges or credits directly to equity that are not the result of transactions with shareholders. The Company has not recorded other comprehensive income for all periods presented.

(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Under U.S. GAAP, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments, which are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company holds certain highly liquid, low risk financial investments, comprised principally of high quality government debt, which are classified as cash equivalents under BR GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, since these investments have original maturities of over 90 days, such investments do not qualify as cash equivalents.

(i) Effects of U.S. GAAP adjustments on equity investee

Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (“Suspensys”) is accounted for using the equity method of accounting under BR GAAP. The principal U.S. GAAP adjustments that affect the Company’s accounting for the results of Suspensys are as follows:

Deferred charges
Capitalization of interest
Pension plan surplus
Deferred income tax on the above adjustments

The effect of these adjustments is included as “U.S. GAAP adjustments on equity in earnings of Suspensys”, a line item in the reconciliation of net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. - Caxias do Sul – RS

1.		We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”), a company incorporated in Brazil, as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the statement of value added for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

2.		We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3.		In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

4.		As mentioned in Note 3.10 to the financial statements, changes in Brazilian accounting practices have been introduced effective January 1, 2008. The statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been prepared in conformity with Brazilian accounting practices in effect until December 31, 2007 and as permitted by Technical Pronouncement 13 – First-time Adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 448/09, are not being restated. Consequently, the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 may not be comparable with the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007.

5.		Accounting practices adopted in Brazil vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 19 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) AND 2008 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2009 (UNAUDITED), 2008 AND 2007
(Amounts in thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, except when stated otherwise)

1.		OPERATIONS

		Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos Ltda. (the “Company”) was established on October 1, 2002, and is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of air and mechanical suspensions for trucks, buses and trailers, trailer axles, third axles and hubs and drums for trucks, buses and trailers, in addition to providing technical assistance for its products.

2.		FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION

		The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which comprise the Brazilian Corporate Law, the pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and standards issued by Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

		In preparing the financial statements for 2008, the Company adopted for the first time the new accounting practices introduced by Law 11638/07, approved on December 28, 2007, as amended by Provisional Act 449 of December 3, 2008.

		Law 11638/07 and the Provisional Act 449/08 altered Law 6404/76 in aspects related to the preparation and disclosure of financial statements.

		Adjustments related to the first-time adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 449/08 are set forth in note 3.10.

		The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil described in Note 3 and differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.GAAP”). See note 19 for a discussion of these differences and a reconciliation of shareholders’ equity and net income presented under accounting practices adopted in Brazil to U.S. GAAP.

3.		SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

3.1 Income recognition

		Income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

		Revenue from the sale of products is recognized in the statement of income when all risks and benefits inherent in the product are transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services provided is recognized in the statement of income when services are rendered.

3.2 Use of estimates

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil requires management to use its judgment in determining and recording accounting estimates. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the net book value of property, plant and equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and deferred tax assets, reserve for contingencies, and assets and liabilities related to employees’ benefits. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in values different from those we estimated due to lack of precision inherent to the process of their determination.

3.3 Foreign currency

		Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were translated into Brazilian reais at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date, respectively, and currency translation differences were recognized in the statement of income.

3.4 Current and noncurrent assets

		Cash and cash equivalents These include cash balances, bank deposits and temporary cash investments redeemable within 90 days from the investment date. Temporary cash investments are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to a very low risk of change in their market value. Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the billed amount plus related taxes and are recorded at present value on the balance sheet date. Inventories Stated at average acquisition or production cost, which does not exceed market value. Other current and noncurrent assets Stated at their net realizable value. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Stated at acquisition or construction cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method at rates stated in Note 8, based on the estimated useful life of assets. Deferred charges Recorded at incurred cost up to December 31, 2007, and amortized using the straight-line method at a rate of 20% per year, from completion date of respective projects.

3.5 Loans and financing

		Loans are initially recognized at fair value at the time the resources are received, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, that is, including charges, interest and monetary and exchange variations, as provided for in the contract, incurred up to the balance sheet date, as shown in Note 10.

3.6 Current and noncurrent liabilities

		Stated at the known or estimated amounts, plus, if applicable, related charges and monetary and/or exchange variations through to the balance sheet date. The trade accounts payable balances are recorded at their present value on the balance sheet date.

3.7 Financial instruments

		Classification and measurement

		Financial assets and liabilities kept by the Company are classified under the following categories: (1) financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss; and (2) financial assets and liabilities held to maturity. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired or contracted. The management of the Company classifies its financial assets and liabilities at the moment they are contracted.

		Financial assets and liabilities held to maturity

		Financial assets held to maturity are mainly comprised of temporary cash investments and loans and financing. They are measured at the acquisition cost plus income earned according to the contracted terms and conditions, in the case of temporary cash investments, and at the amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, in the case of loans and financing, recorded to statement of income on the accrual basis.

3.8. Reserve for contingencies

		A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recorded based on the best estimates of the involved risk.

3.9. Income Tax and Social Contribution

		The income tax and social contribution, current and deferred, are calculated at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax on monthly taxable income in excess of R$ 20 for income tax, and 9% on monthly taxable income for social contribution. This calculation takes into consideration the offsetting of tax loss carryforwards, limited to 30% of the taxable income.

3.10. First-time adoption of Law11638/07 and Law 11941/09

		The Company’s management opted to prepare its opening balance sheet with the transition date of January 1, 2008, which is the starting point for accounting in conformity with amendments introduced by Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09. The changes introduced by said legislation are qualified as a change in accounting policy, however, as permitted by Technical Pronouncement CPC 13 – First-time Adoption of Law 11638/07 and Provisional Act 449/08 (converted in Law 11941/09), approved by CVM Resolution 565 of December 17, 2008, all of the adjustments resulting from the first-time adoption of Law 11638/07 and Law 11941/09 were made directly in retained earnings on the transition date, in conformity with the provisions of Article 186 of Law 6404/76, without retrospective effects on the financial statements.

SUMMARY AND RECONCILIATION OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES ADOPTED IN BRAZIL (BR GAAP) AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (U.S. GAAP)

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with BR GAAP. Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements summarizes the accounting policies adopted by the Company. BR GAAP differs from U.S. GAAP in certain significant respects, which are summarized below:

(a) Deferred charges

BR GAAP allowed until December 31, 2007 the deferral of pre-operating expenses and certain expenses related to research and development. Under BR GAAP, these items are amortized over a period of five to ten years. Under U.S. GAAP, these are recorded as expenses when incurred.

(b) VAT tax incentive - Fundopem

Under BR GAAP, prior to January 1, 2008, tax incentives related to certain state taxes on revenues were recorded directly in shareholders’ equity. Under U.S. GAAP, these tax incentives are recorded in the statement of income. Beginning January 1, 2008, the tax incentive is recorded in the statement of income under BR GAAP.

(c) Capitalization of interest in relation to construction in progress

Under accounting practices adopted in Brazil, prior to January 1, 1996 the Company was not required to capitalize the interest cost of borrowed funds as part of the cost of the related asset. Under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of borrowed funds during construction of major facilities is recognized as part of the cost of the related assets.

Under Brazilian GAAP exchange losses on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are capitalized. Under U.S. GAAP, capitalization of exchange losses is not permitted.

(d) Pension Plan Surplus

Under Brazilian GAAP, the excess of the fair value of the pension plan assets over the projected benefit obligation is not recognized as an asset on the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP, the asset is recognized on the balance sheet as prepaid pension cost.

(e) Dividends

(f) New Accounting Pronouncements

(g) Other Comprehensive Income

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No, 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, requires the disclosure of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and “other comprehensive income”, which include charges or credits directly to equity that are not the result of transactions with shareholders. The Company has not recorded other comprehensive income for all periods presented.
