4
6.
The Company and its Subsidiaries were valued by discounted cash flow methodology, observing what is outlined in paragraph 7 below. To
calculate the equity value of the Company, the following criteria were adopted: (i) using Financial Statements (as defined below) dated as of
March 31, 2006, net debt, net contingencies, accrued liabilities, dividends and interest on accrued capital stock (“Net Indebtedness”) were
subtracted
from
the
financial-economic
total
value
(enterprise
value)
of
the
Company
and
its
Subsidiaries;
(ii)
GB
Empreendimentos
was
valued
based
on
the
economic
value
of
its
participation
in
Net,
and
(iii)
Net
Indebtedness
of
GB
Empreendimentos
was
discounted
from
its
enterprise value. 
7.
For purposes of the Valuation of the Affiliates of the Company, ABN AMRO used the market value of Net calculated using the weighted
average
price
of
the
preferred
shares
issued
by
Net
on
the
Bolsa
de
Valores
de
São
Paulo
BOVESPA
during
the
period
of
90
(ninety)
days
before April 29, 2006.
8.
The
Company,
its
Subsidiaries
and
Affiliates
were
valued
as
independent,
“stand
alone”
operations,
and
the
subsequent
success
or
failure
of
the
Offering
was
not
considered
in
the
results
of
the
Valuation.
ABN
AMRO
does
not
express
any
opinion
about
any
effect
on
the
Company
that
could
potentially

10.
The
Valuation
was
conducted
by
ABN
AMRO
based
on
information
that
was
provided
by
the
Offeror
and/or
by
the
Company
or
discussed
with
representatives
from
the
Offeror
and/or
of
the
Company
who
were
referred
to
ABN
AMRO
by
the
Offeror
(“Designated
Representatives)
as
well as other available public information in addition to projections, estimates and analyses derived by ABN AMRO, based upon its expertise
and experience. Estimates and projections that were provided to ABN AMRO or discussed with ABN AMRO, especially those whose occurrence
depends upon future or uncertain events (including projections of earnings, expenses, investments, operating income or net income), were
based on the opinion of the Designated Representatives with regard to these events.
11.
ABN AMRO based its Valuation upon, among other things, the following information or documents that were provided to ABN AMRO up to
April
28,
2006:
(i)
public
information
about
the
industry
of
the
Subsidiaries
and
Affiliates
of
the
Company;
(ii)
public
information
about
the
macroeconomic
parameters
where
the
Company,
its
Subsidiaries
and
Affiliates
have
a
relevant
presence;
(iii)
business
plans
from
the
Company’s Subsidiaries for the period from 2006 to 2015 that were developed and approved by their respective management; (iv) historical
financial and operating information of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; (v) value of Net Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries,
and
of
GB
Empreendimentos,
and
equity
participation
interests
of
the
Company
and
its
Subsidiaries
and
of
GB
Empreendimentos
and (vi) discussions with the Designated Representatives regarding past performance of and expectations for the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries' future businesses.
12.
In preparing the Valuation, ABN AMRO reviewed other studies and financial and market analyses and took into consideration other factors it
deemed to be necessary, including the assessment of economic, monetary and market conditions.
13.
In
connection
with
the
Valuation
of
Net,
ABN
AMRO
requested
Net’s
business
plan
from
the
Offeror
and
was
informed
by
the
Offeror
and
by the
Company that they did not have access to a management-approved business plan for Net that reflects its current and future financial,
operational
and
commercial
situation,
and
that
they
did
not
have
either
a
budget
for
the
year
2006,
nor
any
other
analyses,
studies
or
projects
after January 1, 2006.  ABN AMRO did not have access to representatives from Net for discussion of their prospects for future performance,
estimates and projections. For the purposes of the Valuation of Net, ABN AMRO exclusively used the methodology described in paragraph 7
above.

Financial
Statements,
public
information,
estimates,
projections,
business
plans,
budgets,
discussions
and
all
other
information
referred
to
in
paragraphs 9 to 14 above and in this paragraph 13, such as public market information about volumes and trading prices of shares issued by
Net are hereinafter collectively designated as “Information”.
15.
The preparation of economic/financial valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgment and is not susceptible to a partial
analysis or brief description. ABN AMRO did not attribute specific importance to certain factors considered in the Valuation, but, on the
contrary,
undertook
a
qualitative
analysis
of
the
importance
and
relevance
of
all
factors
considered
herein.
As
such,
the
Valuation
must
be
analyzed as a whole, and the analysis of selected parts, summaries or specific aspects of the Valuation without knowledge and analysis of the
Valuation
in
its
entirety
could
result
in
an
incomplete
or
incorrect
understanding
of
the
analysis
undertaken
by
ABN
AMRO
and
of
the
conclusions contained in the Valuation.
16.
Information on the demographics, macroeconomic scenario, regulations, the telecommunications market in Brazil and the BOVESPA stock
market
mentioned
in
the
Valuation
were
taken
from,
among
others,
recognized,
reliable
public

Based
on
the
assertions
from
the
Designated
Representatives,
ABN
AMRO
made
the
following
assumptions:
that
(i)
the
financial
projections
provided
reflect
the
best
estimates
for
the
period
in
which
they
were
provided
as
well
as
the
best
judgment
of
the
management
from
the
Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to expected future performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the estimates and
projections
that
were
provided
to
ABN
AMRO
or
discussed
among
ABN
AMRO
and
the
Company,
especially
those
whose
occurrence
depends
upon future or uncertain events (including projected earnings, expenses, investments, operational profit or net profit) were based on the best
judgment of the management of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Concerning the requirement found in item 2.3 of letter CVM/SRE/GER-1/Nº1225/2006, referring to the presentation of comments to CVM with
respect
to
the
valuation
report
of
Embrapar
prepared
by
Banco
Bradesco
S.A.
in
August
2004,
ABN
AMRO
clarifies,
first
of
all,
that
the
values
per
lot
of
one
thousand
shares
in
the
two
evaluations
must
not
be
compared,
because
Embrapar
conducted
significant
transactions
after
August
2004,
which
had
a
great
impact
on
its
stockholding
base.
In
May
2005,
Embrapar
implemented
a
capital
increase
of
approximately
1.8
billion
by
issuing
423,906,976
thousand
new
shares
at
a
price
of
R$
4.30
per
lot
of
one
thousand
shares,
increasing
its
stockholding
base
by
127%.
In
addition,
Embrapar
completed
the
merger
of
Telmex
do
Brasil
and
of
the
participation
of
Telmex
in
the
Net,
whose
impact
was
an
increase
by
approximately
230,452,650
thousand
Embrapar
shares.
Thus,
the
total
number
of
shares
issued
Embrapar
increased
from
334,399
thousand
shares
in
August
2004 to 987,726,487 thousand share in May 2006.
In addition, the evaluations were prepared at a time when the competitive scenario of the telecommunications industry was different. Therefore, it
was
not
appropriate
for
ABN
AMRO
to
make
any
value
judgment
concerning
the
premises
adopted
at
the
time
by
Banco
Bradesco
S.A.
in
its study.
ABN
AMRO
based
its
evaluation
on
the
updated
business
plan
of
Embrapar
and
under
the
current
market
conditions
and
competitive
scenario,
which
may
therefore
be
different
from
those,
used

Furthermore,

independent
audit
of
the
information
contained
in
the
evaluation
done

because

or
for
the
form
in

The
preparation
of
economic-financial

is
a
complex
process
that
involves
subjective
judgments
and
cannot
be
analyzed
partially.
In
this
sense,
the

made
by

without

Executive Summary
The
Valuation
is
for
the
purpose
of
determining
the
financial-economic
value
of
Embrapar
in
the
context
of
the
Offering
Pursuant to instruction CVM No. 361 of March 2002, ABN AMRO conducted an analysis employing the following
methodologies:
Economic value, based on an analysis of Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”)
Weighted average share price per volume traded during the last twelve months
Shareholders’
equity per share value of the shares
Assumptions used for the different methodologies:
Economic value: based on business plans provided by the Company
Weighted average share price per volume traded during the last twelve months prior to April 29, 2006
Book
value
of
the
shares:
calculation
based
on
Embrapar’s
quarterly
financial
statements
as
at
March
31,
2006 reviewed by Ernst & Young
ABN AMRO opted to use the DCF methodology to value the Subsidiaries because this method captures the
growth
potential
and
future
profitability,
adequately
reflecting
the
expected
return
in
light
of
the
country-risk
and
the risk intrinsic to this type of business; it is also appropriate for adequately capturing business opportunities
and adjustments for extraordinary events
For the valuation of Net, company not controlled by Embrapar, we used the Equity Value determined using the
market value of the preferred shares during the last 90 days because this class of shares presents liquidity
(presence in Ibovespa) and dispersion (free float higher than 50%)
Purpose of the
study by ABN
AMRO

Embrapar: history of the industry
In
1998,
the
Brazilian
government
dismantled
the
Telebras
system
in
12
holding
companies
and
privatized
the
sector. The operations in fixed line and long distance intra-states and intra-region were divided in four regions,
each one yielded to one company: Region I (North/Northeast/part of Southeast) to Telemar, Region II
(South/Center-West)
to
Brasil
Telecom,
and
Region
III
(State
of
São
Paulo)
to
Telefónica.
Fixed
telephony
services in national and international long distance forms (Region IV) were also granted to a single company,
Embratel
Immediately after privatization, ANATEL auctioned, for each of the four regions, additional licenses for fixed
telephony services in intra-state and intra-region long distance forms, as well as national and international long
distance services, creating an unique player for each local service operator and for Embratel
In
1999,
the
Brazilian
government
opened
the
market
of
inter-urban
calls
with
the
introduction
of
the
compulsory
selection of a long distance operators (PIC code). Initially, operators of fixed telephony in the local and long
distance intra-state and intra-region regions were not allowed to carry long distance calls among the three
regions defined in the privatization process

In 2002, it was authorized by ANATEL a concession limiting the number of licenses to telecommunication
services.
Then,
Embratel
started
to
offer
local
services.
On
the
other
hand,
Telefónica,
Telemar
and
Brasil
Telecom received concessions to offer long distance services inter-regional and international
In 2003, ANATEL approved the increase of tariffs based on the IPCA inflation index. In 2004, the Superior
Tribunal
de
Justiça
concluded
that
the
inflation
index
IGP-DI
was
a
better
index
for
calculation
purposes.
Since
that date, it was determinate that the tariffs increase should be made gradually
After
that,
ANATEL
defined
the
terms
for
concession
renegotiations.
Embratel
notified,
in
2005,
its
intention
of
renovation that started in 2006 and is for 20 years
Still in 2003, the providers of cellular telephony offered to its clients the possibility to choose the operator for
long distance calls (PIC code). This choice became mandatory since January 2004
In
2004,
ANATEL
compelled

establishes

Embrapar: history of the industry (cont’d)
The telecommunication industry is subject to fast technological changes that may have an adverse impact on
the operations of Embratel. Moreover, because of the high influence of government regulating agencies,
Embratel (and the whole sector) can be impacted by factors such as: currency fluctuations, inflation social and
price instability, interest rates, liquidity of capital and local credits markets, fiscal polices, among other political,
diplomatic, social and economic developments that may occur

Embrapar: competitive scenario
Embrapar
is the holding company created in 1998 to retain control of Embratel upon its privatization. Since
2002, Embratel is also authorized to operate a fixed telephony service in local form. Its subsidiary Star One is
authorized to offer signal transmission services via satellite to the entire nation
Embratel is the only provider of local service present in all Brazilian states, permitting its clients to have an
unique provider of fixed telecommunication services
As at 2002, Embratel was exclusive supplier of inter-states and international long distance services in Brazil.
Currently,
Embratel
suffers
competition
of
companies
that
ANATEL
yielded
licences
in
2002,
according
to
table
below, beyond the telephony services resellers that operates in Brazil. Using a different technology, its services
have tariffs significantly lower for international calls
In
addition
to
the
local
telephony
(recently
through
VoIP
technology
too)
and
long
distance
business,
Embratel
has a portfolio that includes transmission of video, data and voice, due to, specially, the size of the national
territory
through
satellite
solutions.
Embratel
innovated
too
by
charging
tariffs
on
its
calls
on
a
per
minute
basis
ANATEL obligates the operators to expand the individual access for fixed telephony services to provide
national
coverage
until
2025.
In
case
a
concessionary
does
not
fulfill
its
goals,
ANATEL
can
grant
an
authorization to competitors and oblige concessionaries to provide others with access to its network
The increase of the number
of competitors in the same
segments that the Company
operates has resulted in
greater competition in these
markets

Calculation Methodology of the value of Subsidiaries
ABN AMRO believes that the DCF methodology should be the most appropriate, should the information
necessary for the preparation of a DCF be available, since DCF takes the operational cash flow of the
enterprises into consideration discounted by the respective projected cost of capital. In that manner, the risk
profile and the cash generation potential are projected in greater detail
Cash flow projections were made in nominal Reais and converted to nominal Dollars in accordance with the
average exchange rates expected for each year of the projected period in conformity with the table of
macroeconomic projections indicated on page 44. The conversion of cash flow to nominal Dollars was made to
adjust
such
flows
to
the
WACC
(Weighted
Average
Cost
of
Capital)
,
which
was
expressed
in
nominal
Dollars
The net present value of the tax benefit related to the utilization of the tax losses and the negative Embratel
C.S.L.L. base as of March 31, 2006 (VPL calculated on the basis on a WACC of 11.95%) was also added to the
calculation of the Enterprise Value of the Subsidiaries
After the net present value of the Subsidiaries was calculated in Dollars, the amount was converted into Reais
at the Ptax rate 800 of R$/US$ 2.17 on March 31, 2006
The result of the valuation of the Subsidiaries is presented in an interval manner on the basis of the following
variables:
WACC, in nominal Dollars, varying by 0.25 percentage points; and
Rate of growth in perpetuity, in nominal Dollars, varying by 0.255 percentage points; it is 0.61% in the base
scenario for the Subsidiaries, except for Star One where it was 3.67%
The base date utilized for this Valuation is March 31, 2006 and the projection horizon includes the period from
2006 to 2015
Subsidiaries


51
Calculation Methodology of the Interval of Value of the
Operational Subsidiaries (Net)
For the valuation of Embrapar’s holdings in Net, the utilization of Net's market value was chosen because:
ABN AMRO did not have access to the business plan of Net that reflects its financial, operational and
commercial
situation,
present
and
future,
and
which
was
approved
by
its
administration,
or
access
to
the
budget for the year 2006 or other analyses, studies and projections as of January 1, 2006
ABN AMRO did not have access to Net representatives for discussions in regard to Net prospects,
estimates and projections of future performance
The class of shares used to value Net presents broad liquidity (presence on the IBOVESPA) and
dispersion
(preferred
shares
have
a
free
float
greater
than
50%)
CVM 361 instruction and Article170 the Corporation Law provide the possibility of the adoption of such
methodology
The quotes of Net preferred shares were adopted as the market reference because:
They have greater liquidity than the common shares. Net PN shares form a part of the BOVESPA Index
that groups the 30 most liquid securities on the Market, ON shares do not form a part of that index;
At
the
same
time,
they
do
not
present
any
loss
of
value
because
of
a
tag
along
difference
since
Net,
present at level 2 of the BOVESPA Differentiated Corporate Governing Practices, guarantees 100% of
tag
along
for
preferred
shares
PN dispersion is greater than 50%
Weighted average price by the daily traded volume of Net preferred shares were analyzed over periods of 1
year, 6 months and 3 months
Operational
Subsidiaries (Net)


52
The economic-financial valuations of the Embrapar Subsidiaries were based on the DCF methodology
Non-leveraged operational cash flow utilized in the DCF valuation method was constituted in the following
manner:
(+) Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)
(-) Income Tax and Corporate Contribution based on EBIT
(+) Depreciation and Amortization
(-) Capital Expenditures (investments in fixed assets)
(+ -) Changes in Working Capital
(=) Unleveraged Operating Free Cash Flow of the Business
Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF)
Components of the
Cash Flow


53
The DCF valuation model calculates the value of a business by discounting future cash flows based on the
WACC
(Weighted
Average
Cost
of
Capital).
WACC
is
determined
by
the
weighted
average
cost
of
debt
and
cost of equity within the optimal capital structure for the Company and is directly related to the risk associated
with future cash flows
WACC is determined by the weighted average cost of equity and debt of the Company. Such costs are
weighted by the respective equity and debt proportions in the Company’s capital structure, in accordance with
the following formula:
D : Value of the total debt of the business
E : Value of Shareholders’
Equity
Re : Cost of Equity
Rd : Cost of Debt* (1-T)
T :    IR and CSLL
Once the WACC was calculated in nominal Dollars and the financial projections were made in nominal Reais.
the free non-leveraged cash flow of the business was converted into nominal Dollars

We believe that the best estimate for the risk-free rate of return is the yield of the United States Treasury Bond.
We  considered the 10-year bond since it is the long-term bond with the closest duration to the Brazilian Global
27 bond, which will be used to estimate the country risk of Brazil
The average yield over the last 12 months of the 10-year United States Treasury bond is 4.39% per annum

We believe that the best estimate of Brazilian country risk is given by the difference (spread) between (i) the
return
on
the
Global
27
bond
the
Brazilian
sovereign
long-term
bond,
denominated
in
U.S.
Dollars
and
(ii)
the return on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, since the two have a similar duration.
The graph below shows the behavior of Brazilian country risk over the last twelve months. Given Brazil's
macroeconomic stability and the country risk tendency observed, we consider that a historic series of spreads
over
a
longer
term
has
become
less
applicable
and
we
therefore
utilize
the
average
spread
for
the
last
twelve
months, calculated at 3.75% per annum.

Beta is a measurement of market risk / system risk / non-diversiable risk. The beta coefficient attempts to indicate
the sensitivity of the price of the stock to the variation in the price of the market portfolio, i.e., a stock
that
has
a
beta
equal
to
2
would
tend
to
rise
2%
when
the
market
rises
1%
That coefficient is calculated by means of a linear regression between a series of variations in the company's
stock price and a series of variations in the price of the market portfolio
In order to estimate the beta, we considered a sample of businesses operating in the Subsidiaries' industry. We
therefore
considered
the
average
of
the
unleveraged
betas
of
the
businesses
in
the
sample
as
a
proxy
for
the
Subsidiaries' betas
In order to make those betas comparable, we took the beta of each business excluding the corresponding degree
of indebtedness, which results in the unleveraged betas
In order to take into account the risk derived from the Subsidiaries capital structure, we calculated the beta of the
companies by means of the following formula:
The leveraged beta considered in the valuations of the Embrapar Subsidiaries were:

Market risk premium is the additional return required by investors to compensate for an element of greater
uncertainty
(risk)
in
investments
in
stocks
versus
investments
considered
risk
free
The estimate used for overall market risk is the long-term historic average (1900 to 2005) of the differences
between the return on an index representing the global stock market denominated in Dollars and the return on
an overall index of long-term sovereign bonds of credit risk-free countries
ABN AMRO favors a longer period (since 1900) because that period reflects a more diverse set of economic
environments
such
as
wars,
depressions
and
periods
of
expansion,
that
are
not
satisfactorily
reflected
in
shorter periods
ABN AMRO favors the historic focus rather than the focus on the future due to the fact that it does not believe
that
the
market
risk
premium
is
predictable
within
a
period
of
3
to
4
years.
Since
the
market
risk
premium
is
a
random value, historic data represent a better estimate for the future. The value of the market risk premium
utilized
in
the
valuation
of
the
Embrapar
Subsidiaries
is
5.10%
(that
value
is
the
result
of
the
“Global
Investment
Return
Yearbook
2006”
study
carried
out
by
ABN
AMRO
in
conjunction
with
the

Business
School)

The cost of debt is estimated based on the average long term cost observed in capital raising operations by
enterprises with a credit profile similar to those of the Company’s Subsidiaries. Thus the cost of future debt
must represent the cost that the enterprise would pay should it issue long term bonds. That cost is directly
connected to the enterprise’s risk profile
Since interest paid is deductible from income tax and the corporate contribution, we must reduce the cost of
debt
before
taxes
by
the
long
term
income
tax
and
the
corporate
contribution
rate
in
order
to
arrive
at
a
post-tax
cost of debt
The weight assigned to equity in the calculation of the average weighted cost of capital must be based on the
(estimated) market value of the equity and debt, since the cost of capital must reflect the remuneration required
by investors in accordance with the business risk of the enterprise
The target financial leverage (total debt / total capital) used in the valuations of the Embrapar Subsidiaries
were:
Embratel: 32.41%
Star One: 21.93%

The life of a business is theoretically infinite. Nevertheless, we are not able to project future cash flows in a
precise
manner
beyond
a
certain
period.
Therefore,
a
part
of
the
value
of
the
business,
known
as
the
terminal
value, will be generated by the cash flows of the years that follow the last year of the period of projection
The
calculation
of
the
terminal
value
is
adjusted
to
standardize
the
Star
One
Capex.
Each
year,
until
infinity,
the
free cash flow will grow in conformity with its growth rate, which is referred to as the perpetuity growth rate
The financial projections were prepared in nominal Reais and then converted into nominal Dollars in
accordance with the average exchange rates expected for each of the period projected, in accordance with the
table
of
macroeconomic
projections
indicated
on
page
44.
In
that
manner
the
perpetuity
growth
rate
of
free
cash
flows should, coherently, be a rate in nominal Dollars
The nominal rate of growth utilized by ABN AMRO for the perpetuity is 0.61% in nominal Dollars for the
Subsidiaries (excluding Star One), as the company’s main revenues (fixed telephony and long distance) suffer
from low barriers of entrance, specially due to the technological advances, products/services substitutes and
high level of competition
ABN AMRO used a perpetuity growth rate of 3.67% in nominal Dollars for Star One because the company
competes in segments with significant growth potential and entrance barriers that demand high investments
and have several regulatory restrictions

Embrapar
Subsidiaries: main operational assumptions
The Valuation of Embrapar is based on: (i) public information about the sector in which the Company Subsidiaries are active; (ii) public
information with regards to macroeconomic parameters where the Company and its Subsidiaries have a relevance; (iii) business plans of
the Company Subsidiaries for the period from 2006 to 2015 prepared and approved by their respective managements; (iv) historical,
financial and operational information about the Company and its Subsidiaries and (v) discussions with the Designated Representatives in
relation
to
past
performance
and
the
expectations
for
the
future
of
the
Company
and
its
Subsidiaries.
Growth

as
a
result
of
the
competition
in
relation
to
tariffs
and
a
decrease
in
unit
prices
per minute is expected in long distance as a result of the stimulus of competition
In general terms, the services of the Embrapar Subsidiaries in Data and Internet segments are growing in line with the market
There
is
an
expectation
of
the
introduction
of
VoIP
service
beginning
in
2006
with
a
strong
growth
on
the
basis
of
subscribers
according
to 
information furnished by the Designated Representatives
Interconnection tariffs show a reduction in the years beginning in 2006 as a result of new regulatory developments
Operational expenses are growing as a function of inflation and present no significant improvements in real terms
Beginning in 2006 a biannual concession rate of 2% will be charged on revenues from long distance services
Capex
refers
principally
to
the
expansion
of
local
services,
maintenance
of
infrastructure
for
data
transmission,
internet
services
and
VoIP
services
In relation to Primesys, growth is expected in its activities in line with the GDP and the maintenance of margins
In relation to Star One, accelerated growth of revenue is predicted with respect to broadband Internet services and a greater area of
coverage with the new Q-band satellites
The

than 9,000 times higher
than the volume of
common shares
Quotes
of
Net
preferred
shares
were
adopted
as

references
because:
They have greater liquidity than common shares. Net PN shares form a part of the BOVESPA Index
that groups the 30 most liquid securities of the market. ON shares do not participate in that Index.
At

time
they
do
not
present
a

During the past 12 months Net concluded a financial restructuring process that had a significant impact on
the value of its shares

Methodological considerations
The weighted average quotation of a stock is the result of the daily financial volume trades in a specific period, divided
by the number of shares trades in that same period
This
methodology
is
most
applicable
in
cases
where
(i)
necessary
information
(mainly
long-term
projections)
to
make
a
valuation
based
on
the
DCF
method
is
not
available
and
(ii)
the
shares
have
liquidity
(presence
in
Ibovespa)
and
dispersion
(free
float
higher
than
50%)
The value of the company is determined by the expectations of its future results, measured by its capacity for cash
generation and the risk associated with that generation, discounted to present value by an appropriate discount rate
This method captures the growth potential and future profit prospects, adequately reflecting the expected return in light
of
the
country-risk
and
the
risk
intrinsic
to
this
type
of
business;
it
is
also
appropriate
for
adequately
capturing
business
opportunities and for adjustment for extraordinary events
This methodology is used when the company has a business plan
The shareholders’
equity per share value is determined by dividing the net worth of the company, at the date of the
valuation, by its respective share base
This methodology does not necessarily reflect the growth potential or possibilities of future profit, nor the intrinsic risk of
the business
It
may
also
be
distorted
by
the
accounting
policy
adopted
by
the
company

Valuation
Range
The base date of the Valuation is May 1, 2006 and is based on the available information as at April 29, 2006
ABN AMRO considers the Free Cash Flow methodology as the most appropriate to define Embrapar’s valuation range
The valuation range varies between R$ 6.75 and R$ 7.15 per thousand shares of Embrapar. The valuation range was calculated based on
the minimum and maximum value of a sensitivity table in which the nominal WACC varies by plus or minus 0.25 % and the nominal perpetuity
growth rate varies by plus or minus 0.25% in real terms
ABN AMRO used a sensitivity table for the definition of a range of value as the WACC and the perpetuity growth rate are the factors that
impact
the
company's
value
and
the
factors
that
are
not
a
result
of

Glossary
We include the glossary below in order to facilitate the understanding of this document by persons unfamiliar
with the methodology of valuing enterprises by discounted cash flow methodology. In this manner, the
clarification
given
for
each
term
was
couched
in
didactic
language
to
facilitate
the
understanding
of
the
concepts
utilized
Beta:
is a measure of market risk / system risk / non-diversifiable risk. The Beta coefficient indicates the
sensitivity of the stock price to changes in the price of the market portfolio. The index is measured by means of
a linear regression between a series of variations in the price of the enterprise's stock and a series of variations
in the price of the market portfolio
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
The CAPM model is utilized to calculate the Cost of the Company's
Capital or the Cost of the Shareholder's Equity. The model follows the financial premise of risk and return, so
that the greater the risk, the greater the return on investment required by the shareholder. The calculation
considers the beta, the risk-free rate and the market premium
Capital Expenditures (Capex):
investments in fixed assets
Cost
of
Equity:
The
cost
of
equity
is
the
return
required
by
the
shareholder
in
regard
to
the
capital
invested.
The
calculation
considers
that
a
specific
asset
must
pay
the
invester
the
cost
of
opportunity
plus
a
risk
premium
Cost of Debt:
This is a measure of the cost associated with capital that comes from third parties in the form of
loans, financing and market funding, among others
Weighted
Average
Cost
of
Capital
(WACC):
This
is
a
measure
of
the
cost
of
a
company’s
capital.
WACC
is
determined by a weighted average on the basis of the long term capital structure, the costs of debt and equity. 
It is directly related to the risk associated with future cash flows
