GROUP

II.

The group's history began in 1966, when the Steinbruch and the Rabinovich families joined forces in creating a textile company named Brasibel. In the following year, the purchase of Lanifício Varam, Latin America's biggest woolproducer and owner of the Vicunha brand, has opened the way for a continuous flow of acquisitions and partnerships, that led Vicunha to the prominent position in textile segment, that they have today. In 1993, the group has foreseen a possibility of expanding and diversifying its businesses, and has acquired, through the privatization process, a relevant participation in the capital of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional - CSN, (a) leader in the steel segment in Brazil. In the year 2000, the group became the main shareholder of CSN. In March 2005, the Steinbruch family has agreed to acquire the Rabinovich family's stake in Vicunha Têxtil and in Vicunha Siderurgia, the company that holds the control of CSN. As a consequence, the Steinbruch family holds today the control of the above mentioned companies.

- 2006

The Brazilian economy presented a modest GDP growth in 2006, with an annual rate lower than 3% for the second year in a row.The good news came from the inflationary front. The consumer price index accumulated 3.14% in 2006, the lowest rate since the adoption of the inflation target system. In this benign inflationary scenario, the Central Bank reduced interest rates in all monetary policy meetings of the year, from 18% by the end of 2005 to 13.25% by the end of 2006. Brazilian external accounts showed another year of very positive results, contributing to the fourth consecutive year of BRL appreciation against the US Dollar and reduction of the country's external vulnerability. The trade balance surplus reached US$ 46 billion and its international reserves surpassed US$ 85 billion by the end of 2006. On the fiscal side, the increase of federal government expenses (in part due to several decisions taken in the context of presidential elections) reduced the primary surplus, but not in the amount necessary to jeopardize the accomplishment of the target of 4.25% of GDP. In this context, the public debt, as a percentage of GDP, fell from 51.7% by the end of 2005 to 50.0% by the end of 2006. Based on the maintenance of a favorable international environment and a responsible domestic economic policy, the perspectives for 2007 aim to a more robust growth (around 3.5%), stimulated by the monetary policy easing process, additional fiscal stimuli, income gains and credit incentives.

(99.99%), Fibra Companhia Securitizadora de Créditos Financeiros (99.99%), Fibra Companhia Securitizadora de Créditos Imobiliários (99.94%), Fibra Projetos e Consultoria Econômica Ltda. (99,99%) and RTSPE Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda. (99.99%). The income and expenses and asset and liability operating balances between the consolidated companies have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.(Note 22). 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES The accounting practices for recording and preparing the financial statements are derived from Brazilian Corporation Law, in conjunction with Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN) regulations and instructions and the most significant accounting practices are listed below:a.Statement of Income: Income and expenses arising from asset and liability operations are recognized on a accrual basis and take into account the effects of operations subject to price level restatement on a daily pro-rata basis.Asset and liability operations that carry exchange variation clauses are price level restated according to the buy or sell rate of the foreign currency on the balance sheet dates according to the contractual provisions.b.Short-term Interbank Investments: These are valued at the cost of acquisition plus interest incurred up to the balance sheet dates and,when applicable,are adjusted to market value.Investments in foreign currency are shown at the cost of acquisition plus accrued income calculated on a daily pro rata basis and the foreign exchange variations are recorded up to the balance sheet dates. c. Securities:These are classified into three categories:“trading securities ”,“securities available for sale” and “securities held to maturity”. Securities classified as “trading securities” are valued at their market value and their adjustments are offset and recorded in the appropriate income or expense account for the period. Securities classified as “securities available for sale”are valued at their market value and adjustments to them are recorded in an appropriate account in shareholders' equity, less tax effects and transferred to income for the period in which they were effectively sold. Securities, classified as "held to maturity" are valued at their cost of acquisition plus interest earned up to the balance sheets dates. Classification in this category depends upon the financial capacity of the institution to hold them until redemption and Management's decision to rule out any possibility of selling these securities.(Note 6a).d.Derivative Financial Instruments: According to Central Bank of Brazil Circular Letter 3082, derivative financial instruments are valued and recorded at market value and classified as either hedge or non hedge. Hedge instruments are classified as:(i)“market risk hedge”or (ii)“cashflow hedge”. The criteria for recording them are as follows:for derivative financial instruments which are not intended to be used as a hedge as well as those classified as market risk hedge, adjustments to market value are recorded and offset in the appropriate income or expense account under income for the period. For derivative financial instruments classified as "cash flow hedge," the effective portion of the hedge must be recorded and offset in a special

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS ON DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 (In thousands of Reais) account in Shareholders' Equity and any variation is offset in the appropriate income or expense account under income for the period. In the event of derivative financial instruments which are intended to protect securities classified in the category "securities held to maturity" both the security and the derivative financial instrument are valued and recorded in compliance with the intrinsic contracted terms and are not recorded at market value. With the advent of the changes introduced by Central Bank Circular Letter 3150,this treatment is also given to derivative instruments traded in association with fund raising operations or fund investments and market value may be disregarded under the terms therein specified. (Note 6b). e. Provisions for Doubtful Loans, Doubtful Lease Receivable and Doubtful Receivable: These provisions are recorded at an amount considered sufficient to cover any losses arising on their collection .The Central Bank of Brazil established regulations through Resolution 2682/99,which are based on risk analyses of clients with asset operations and past experience as well as specific sector or portfolio risks. (Note 9) f. Assets not for Use: Goods received in lieu of payment are recorded in the account “Other Assets� and include provisions recorded in an amount considered sufficient to cover any losses arising on collection. g. Investments - Interests held in subsidiaries are valued according to the equity method of accounting.The other investments are valued according to the cost of acquisition, price level restated up to December 31, 1995, less provisions for losses when applicable. The book balances of the entities headquartered abroad, which are prepared according to international accounting standards (IFRS), were translated into the local currency the real,using the US dollar quotation on the closing date of the period. For the purposes of calculating equity pick up and consolidation, these balances were adjusted to the accounting practices derived from Brazilian corporation law. h. Property, plant and equipment and Deferred charges Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of deferred charges are calculated using the straight line method,according to the following annual rates and terms: (i) property,plant and equipment:vehicles and computer system,20%; other assets 10%; (ii) differed charges: expenses for acquisition and development of computer software, 20% and improvements toleasehold properties - according to the term of the lease. i. Income and social contribution taxes: The provision for income tax is recorded at a rate of 15% plus a 10% surcharge on the portion of annual taxable income that exceeds R$ 240.The provision for social contribution taxes is recorded at a rate of 9% in compliance with prevailing legislation. Details of the effects of these taxes are shown in Note 18. j. Other Current Assets and Long Term Receivables: These are shown at their cost values, including, when applicable, accrued income and price level restatement less the corresponding provisions for losses or adjustments to the realization value. k. Contingencies and legal obligations: Recognition, measurement and disclosure of asset and liability contingencies and legal obligations are carried out according to the criteria defined in CVM (Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission) Determination 489/05, which came into effect on January 1, 2006: i) Contingent assets: are not recognized in the accounting, except in the event of a favorable judicial decision, considered practically certain, which does not permit any appeals. Assets with chances of success considered as probable are only disclosed only in a note to the financial statements (note 19). ii) Contingent liabilities: They are recorded when,in the opinion of legal counsel, the chances of loss are probable. The cases where the chances of loss are classified as possible are only disclosed in a note to the financial statements (note 19). iii) Legal obligations:These are recognized and provisions are recorded in the balance sheet,regardless of the probabilities of success of the legal suit.During 2006,as a result of full compliance of the financial statements with the new regulations, the legal and administrative processes were reviewed and reclassified and tax and social security legal obligations were recorded in the amount of R$ 25,070 (R$ 19,918, net of tax credits) and the amount of R$ 19,062 was recognized as a prior period adjustment in retained earnins and the amount of R$ 856 was recorded as operating expenses for the period. l.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS ON DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 (In thousands of Reais) (1) The book value of the securities for the categories "Securities Available for Sale" and "Trading Securities" was calculated based on the following criteria: a) government securities and operations conducted on the futures, forward and options markets based on the pricing model described in Note 7; b) Publicly traded company stocks and forward operations guaranteed by these securities,according to the average quotation available from the last trading floor session of the month or in the absence thereof,the most recent trading floor sessions published in the Daily Bulletin for each Exchange and; c) Swaps, based on the notional values of each one of the parameters of the contracts,considering the cash flow discounted to the present value by the futures market interest rates calculated on the pricing model described in Note 7,in compliance with the terms of each contract;(2) Other Investment Fund securities are represented by quotas in Credit Rights funds (FIDC) in the amount of R$ 2,122 and other accounts payable in the amount of R$ 999. In the Fibra Consolidated statements, they are basically represented by quotas in other Financial Investment Funds in the amount of R$ 4,798.(3) In the Banco Fibra S.A. statements, in 2005, R$ 358,868, in relation to Euro Medium Term Notes, the liability of Fibra Asset Management Distribuidora de TĂ­tulos e Valores MobiliĂĄrios Ltda. was eliminated from the consolidated statements.In view of the fact that the aforementioned securities were issued by a company that is part of the group and that there are derivative financial instruments which mitigate market risks, both in relation to the asset operation as well as the liability operation and that these are eliminated in the Fibra Consolidated statements and therefore a position is not recorded in the group's own portfolio, Management reclassified these securities which totaled R$ 327,791 from the category "Securities Held to Maturity" to the category "Trading Securities". In the Banco Fibra S.A. statements, the isolated effect of this reclassification resulted in market valuation income in the amount of R$ 39,157, offset by the expenses involved in the market value adjustments of the underlying derivative of R$ 32,072 and by the equity adjustment expenses from the compensating adjustments in the related company Fibra Asset Management in the amount of R$ 7,085.As aresult of these adjustments,the total effect in the results and shareholders' equity in Banco Fibra S.A., and the Fibra Consolidated statements was null. (4) The book value shown in this column refers to the market value of the securities. b.Derivative Financial Instruments: Banco Fibra S.A.and its subsidiaries conducted operations with derivatives to attend its own needs and those of its clients, with respect to reducing exposure to market, currency and interest risks. Management of these risks is conducted through determining limits and establishing strategies for operations.Derivatives are recorded according to their nature and specific legislation in equity and/or contra accounts.As of December 31,2006,the market value of the derivative financial instruments according to the balance sheet can be broken down as shown below: Derivative Financial Instruments - Swap and Similar Contracts ASSET POSITION PRE vs. DOLLAR .......................................................................
