(1)

The Company’s earnings were insufficient to cover combined fixed charges and preference dividends for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 by approximately R$1,035 million. For purposes of calculating the ratio of combined fixed charges and preference dividends to earnings, earnings consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries income or loss from equity investees, plus (1) fixed charges (as defined below) and amortization of capitalized interest, (2) distributed income of equity investees, and (3) share of pre-tax losses of equity investees for which charges arising from guarantees are included in fixed charges, minus capitalized interest, preferred share dividend requirements of consolidated


  subsidiaries (not preferred dividends of parent), and non-controlling interest from pre-tax income of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of the sum of interest, whether expensed or capitalized (and from both continuing and discontinued operations), amortization of premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, amounts accrued with respect to guarantees of other parties’ obligations, and the estimated interest component of rental expense, and preferred share dividend requirements represent the amount of pre-tax earnings that would be required to pay the dividends on outstanding Oi preferred shares and other fully consolidated entities.
(2) As required by CPC 41, we have adjusted retrospectively the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share taking into consideration the shareholding structure resulting from our reverse share split.

Summary of Differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP Applicable to Oi S.A.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, or Brazilian GAAP, which are based on:

 

    Brazilian Law No. 6,404/76, as amended by Brazilian Law No. 9,457/97, Brazilian Law No. 10,303/01, and Brazilian Law No. 11,638/07;

 

    the rules and regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) and the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (Conselho Federal de Contabilidade); and

 

    the accounting standards issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis).

Brazilian GAAP differs in certain important respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP where applicable to Oi are summarized in note 30 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Oi Annual Report.

The principal differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP that affected our net income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are described in note 30 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Oi Annual Report. The differences that result in significant adjustments relate to the accounting treatment of the following items:

 

    the corporate reorganization that occurred in February 2012;

 

    business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 and goodwill;

 


    pre-paid pension plan costs and other post-retirement benefits;

 

    capitalized interest;

 

    income tax and social contribution;

 

    the valuation of long-lived assets; and

 

    the cumulative amount of currency translation adjustments related to held for sale operations.

There were no changes in the accounting policies or relevant adjustment for the period ended June 30, 2015 as compared to those applicable in the year ended December 31, 2014, except of the realization of cumulative amount of currency translation adjustments related to held for sale operations as described below.

In accordance with U.S.GAAP, the cumulative amount of currency translation adjustments should be included as part of the carrying amount of a consolidated investment in a foreign entity classified as held for sale when evaluating such investment for impairment. Under Brazilian GAAP, no such requirement exists. Therefore, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the positive cumulative amount as of December 31, 2014 of currency translation adjustments related to the Portuguese operations to be sold to Altice was included as part of the carrying amount of those operations, as a result of which the impairment loss was reduced as compared to the amount recorded under Brazilian GAAP.

As a result of the completion of the sale of PT Portugal to Altice on June 2, 2015, under Brazilian GAAP the positive cumulative amount of currency translation adjustments related to this foreign entity classified as held for sale were recognized directly in net income of the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Under U.S. GAAP the positive cumulative amount of currency translation adjustments were included as part of the carrying amount of a consolidated investment and reduced impairment loss recognized in December 31, 2014, in amount of R$329 million. As a result, our net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 under U.S. GAAP was reduced as compared to our net income under Brazilian GAAP.
