With the objective of improving the information disclosed to the market, the Company is presenting the following additional information covering the Parent Company and the consolidated quarterly financial information:

(a) Segment reporting

3. DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

Stated at their realization value, including, when applicable, income earned to the balance sheet date or, in the case of prepaid expenses, at cost.

(e) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries and jointly-owned subsidiary companies are recorded by the equity accounting method, plus positive goodwill, when applicable. Other permanent investments are recorded at cost of acquisition.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

The property, plant and equipment of the parent company is presented at market or replacement values, based on appraisal reports issued by independent expert appraisal firms, as permitted by Deliberation 288 issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 1998. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, according to the remaining economic useful lives of the assets after revaluation. Depletion of the Casa de Pedra mine is calculated based on the quantity of iron ore extracted, and interest charges related to capital funding for construction in progress are capitalized until the constructions are concluded.

(g) Deferred charges

The deferred charges are due to expenses incurred in developing and implementing projects that should generate economic return for the Company in the next few years, and they are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period foreseen for economic return on the abovementioned projects.

(h) Current and non-current liabilities

These are stated at their known amounts, or estimated, including, when applicable, accrued charges, and monetary and foreign exchange variation incurred up to the balance sheet date.

(i) Employees’ benefits

In accordance with Deliberation 371, issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission, on December 13, 2000, the Company decided to record the respective actuarial liabilities as from January 1, 2002, in accordance with the abovementioned deliberation, based on studies by independent actuaries.

(j) Income and social contribution taxes

Current and deferred income and social contribution taxes are calculated based on the rates of 15% plus an additional of 10% on taxable income for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution on net income and consider tax loss carryforwards and negative basis of social contribution limited to 30% of taxable income.

Tax credits are recorded for deferred taxes on tax loss carryforwards, negative basis of social contribution on net income and on temporary differences, pursuant to CVM Instruction 371 as of June 27, 2002 and take into consideration the history of profitability and the expectation of generating future taxable income, based on a technical feasibility study.

(k) Derivatives

The derivatives operations are recorded in accordance with the characteristics of the financial instruments. Swap operations are recorded based on the net results of the operations, which are booked monthly in line with the contractual conditions, and swaps traded through the exclusive funds are adjusted to market value.

Exchange options are adjusted monthly to market value whenever the position shows a loss. These losses are recognized as the Company’s liability with the corresponding entry in the financial results. Options traded through exclusive funds are adjusted to market value and futures contracts have their positions adjusted to market daily by the Futures and Commodities Exchange (“BM&F”) with recognition of gains and losses directly in results.

(l) Treasury Shares

As established by CVM Instruction 10/80, treasury shares are recorded at cost of acquisition, and the market value of these shares, calculated based on the stock exchange quotation on the last day of the period, is presented in Note 19, item (v).

(m) Accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil requires that Management uses its judgment in determining and recording accounting estimates. The settlement of the transactions involving these estimates may result in significantly different amounts from those estimated, due to the lack of precision inherent to the process of their determination. The Company periodically reviews the estimates and assumptions.

16. DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

General considerations

The Company’s business mainly consists of the production of flat steel to supply the domestic and foreign markets and mining of iron ore, limestone, dolomite and tin to supply the Presidente Vargas Steelworks. The Company also sells the surplus production. To finance its activities, the Company resorts to the domestic and international capital market, and, due to the debt profile it seeks, most of the Company’s debt is pegged to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2007, the consolidated position of the outstanding derivative agreements is as follows:


	Agreement		Book Value	Market Value

	Maturity	Notional Value


Variable income swap ()*	July 27,2007	US$49,223 thousand	R$877,564	R$879,183

	January 2,	US$810,000 thousand	(R$39,459)	(R$37,662)
Exchange swaps registered with CETIP	2008
	July 2, 2007	US$605,754 thousand	(R$16,356)	(R$16,137)

	July 9, 2007	5,000 t	R$1,813	R$1,813

	2007	5,000 t	R$321	R$321

	September
	10,2007	2,500 t	R$772	R$772

(*) In June 2007, non-cash swap contracts in the amount of US$458 million were transferred from the subsidiary CSN Steel to the subsidiary CSN Madeira, tyhrough a loan agreement. The non-cash swap establishes that the financial institution counterparty undertakes to remunerate, at the end of the contract, the positive price variation of variable income, similar to shares and indexes traded on the stock exchange, while the subsidiary undertakes to pay the same notional value adjusted at the fixed rate of 7.5% per annum in US dollars. In conformity with an addendum to the agreement, the maturity of the operation was extended until July 2008, after the closing of the six-month period.

The main non-operating risk factors that may affect the Company’s business are listed below, as well as a more detailed explanation of the derivatives associated with them:

I - Exchange rate risk

Although most of the Company’s revenues are denominated in Brazilian reais as of June 30, 2007, R$6,375,817 or 73% of the Company’s consolidated loans and financing (except derivates) were taken out in foreign currency (R$6,860,876 or 73% at March 31, 2007). As a result, the Company is subject to fluctuations in exchange and interest rates and manages the risk of the fluctuations in the amounts in Brazilian reais that will be necessary to pay the obligations in foreign currency, using a number of financial instruments, including dollar investments and derivatives, mainly futures contracts, swaps contracts, and exchange option contracts.

a) Exchange swap transactions

The Company entered into exchange swap agreements, which aim at protecting its foreign currency-denominated liabilities against devaluation of the real. Basically, the Company carried out swaps of its U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities for a Bank Deposit Certificate (CDI). The notional value of these swaps at June 30, 2007 was US$1,415,754 thousand (US$1,650,000 thousand at March 31, 2007).

b) Metal swap agreement

The Company contracted Zinc swaps in order to fix the price of part of its needs for the metal. Up to June 30, 2007, the Company held 12.5 thousand tonnes of Zinc with settlement based on average prices for Zinc in June, July and August, 2007. The price used to settle each agreement is the average price of the calendar month priors to the date of its settlement.

II – Interest rate risk

The Company has short and long term liabilities and, consequently, exposure to fixed and floating interest rates and some indexes, such as IGP-M. The Company also has assets which can be indexed to floating interest rates, fixed interest rates and/or other indexes. In view of this exposure, the Company may carry out transactions with derivatives to manage these risks better.

III – Derivatives associated with other price fluctuation risks of financial assets

a) Variable income swap agreements

The outstanding agreements at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 were as follows:


Date of issue	Maturity date of Agreements	Notional value (US$ thousand)	Assets		Liabilities		Curve value (book value)		Market value (unaudited)

The purpose of these swaps is to improve the return on CSN’s financial assets, increasing the exposure to variable income assets, which historically yields greater long term returns than the fixed income assets, thus, decreasing the impact of the cost of carrying CSN’s long term debt in net, consolidated financial expenses.

IV - Credit risk

The credit risk exposure with financial instruments is managed through restricting the counterparts to large financial institutions with high credit quality. Thus, Management believes that the risk of non-compliance by the counterpart is insignificant. The Company neither maintains nor issues financial instruments for commercial purposes. The selection of clients, as well as the diversification of its accounts receivable and the control on sales financing conditions through business industrial segment are procedures adopted by CSN to minimize possible problems with its clients. Since part of the Companies’ funds are invested in Brazilian government securities, there is exposure to the credit risk with the government.

V - Market value

The market values were calculated according to the conditions in the local and foreign markets at June 30, 2007, for financial transactions with identical features, such as: volume and term of the transaction and maturity dates. All transactions carried out in non-organized markets (over-the-counter markets) were contracted with financial institutions previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The provisions for contingencies estimated by the Company’s Management were substantially based on the appraisal of tax and legal advisors. These provisions are only recorded for lawsuits classified as probable losses. Additionally, the provisions include tax liabilities arising from actions taken on the Company’s initiative, which are recorded and include Selic interest rates.

The Company is defending itself in other judicial and administrative proceedings (labor, civil and tax) in the approximate amount of R$4,3 billion, of which R$3.8 billion corresponds to tax lawsuits, R$0.1 billion to civil lawsuits and R$0.4 billion to labor lawsuits. According to the Company’s legal counsel, these administrative and legal proceedings are assessed as possible risks of loss. These proceedings were not accrued in accordance with accounting rules adopted in Brazil.

a) Labor Actions:

Until June 30, 2007, CSN was defendant in 9,036 labor grievances (8,814 grievances at March 31, 2007), for which a provision in the amount of R$58,856 (R$30,500 on March 31, 2007) was recorded. Most of the lawsuits are related to joint and/or subsidiary responsibility, wage parity, additional allowances for unhealthy and hazardous activities, overtime and differences related to the 40% fine on FGTS (severance pay), and due to the government’s economic plans (to control inflation).

b) Civil Actions:

These are mainly civil judicial processes claiming indemnities a from CSN. These proceedings, in general, arise from occupational accidents and diseases related to the Company’s industrial activities., A provision in the amount of R$15,213 was recorded for these claims as of June 30, 2007 (R$13,556 as of March 31, 2007).

c) Environmental Actions:

At June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a provision of R$51,766 (R$54,227 at March 31, 2007) for expenses related to the environmental recovery of plants located in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina.

d) Tax Actions:

▪ Income and Social Contribution Taxes

(i) The Company is claims recognition of the financial and tax effects in the calculation of the income and social contribution taxes on net income, related to write-down of inflation of 51.87% in the Consumer Price Index (IPC) that occurred in January and February 1989 (Plano Verão – Summer Plan).

In 2004, the proceeding was concluded and a final and unappealable decision was handed, granting to CSN the right to apply the index of 42.72% (January 1989), from which the 12.15% already applied should be deducted. The application of 10.14% (February 1989) was alsogranted. The proceeding is currently under expert accounting inspection.

At June 30, 2007, the Company recorded R$329,162 (R$327,877 at March 31, 2007) as a judicial deposit and a provision of R$20,892 (R$20,892 at March 31, 2007), which represents the portion not recognized by the courts.

(ii) The Company filed an action questioning the levying of Social Contribution on Income on export revenues, based on Constitutional Amendment 33/01 and in March 2004 the Company obtained an injunction authorizing the exclusion of these revenues from aforementioned calculation basis, as well as offsetting of the amounts paid as from 2001. The lower court decision was favorable and the process is awaiting a hearing of the appeal filed by the Federal Government in the Regional Federal Court. At June 30, 2007, the amount of suspended liability and the credits offset based on the aforementioned proceedings was R$854,702 (R$853,996 at March 31, 2007), plus Selic interest.

▪ PIS/COFINS – Law 9718/98

CSN has questioned the legality of Law 9718/98, which broadened the PIS and COFINS calculation bases to include revenues other than those arising from the sale of products. On May 31, 2007 a decision favorable to CSN was published in the Official Court Gazette, which became final and unappealable on June 16, 2007.

In view of this decision, the Company reversed provision in the amount of R$323,096, recorded in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, which generated a positive effect in the financial expenses in the Financial Statements as of June 30, 2007.

CIDE - Contribution for Intervention in the Economic Domain

CSN is challenging the legal validity of Law 10168/00, which established the payment of the contribution for intervention in the economic domain on the amounts paid, credited or remitted to beneficiaries not resident in Brazil, as royalties or remuneration of supply contracts, technical assistance, trademark license agreements and exploitation of patents.

The Company made deposits in court and recorded the corresponding provision in the amount of R$24,749 at June 30, 2007 (R$24,661 at March 31, 2007), which include legal charges.

The lower court decision was unfavorable and the proceeding is currently under judgment at the 2^nd Regional Federal Court.

Education Allowance

The Company discussed the unconstitutionality of the Education Allowance and the possible recovery of the amounts paid in the period from January 5, 1989 to October 16, 1996. The lawsuit was judged unfounded, and the Federal Regional Court maintained its unfavorable decision, which is final and unappealable.

In view of this fact, the Company attempted to pay the amount due, but FNDE and INSS did not reach an agreement as to which agency the amounts should be paid. A fine was also demanded, but CSN did not agree.

CSN filed new proceedings questioning the abovementioned facts and deposited in court the amounts due. At June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a provision and judicial deposit in the amount of R$33,121 (R$33,121 at March 31, 2007).

SAT - Worker’s Compensation Insurance

The Company understands that it should pay the “SAT” at the rate of 1% in all of its establishments, and not 3%, as determined by the current legislation. The amount recorded in a provision as of June 30, 2007 totals R$105,274 (R$99,650 on March 31, 2007), which includes legal charges.

The lower court decision was unfavorable and the proceedings are being heard in the 2^nd Region of the Federal Regional Court.

IPI premium credit on exports

The Brazilian tax laws allowed companies to recognize IPI premium credit until 1983, when the Brazilian government, through an Executive act, cancelled these benefits, prohibiting companies to recognize these credits. The Company brought an action claiming the right to the IPI premium credit on exports from 1992 to 2002.

The Company has challenged the constitutionality of this act, since only laws enacted by the legislative branch may cancel or revoke benefits prepared by prior legislation, and it obtained a favorable decision in the lower court in August 2003, authorizing the use of these credits. The national treasury appealed against this decision and obtained a favorable decision. The Company then filed appeals against this decision in the Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Supreme Court and is currently awaiting the decisions of these courts.

Between September 2006 and March 2007, the treasury filed 5 tax deficiency notices and 2 administrative proceedings against the Company requesting payment in the amount of approximately R$3.2 billion referring to the payment of taxes which were offset by IPI premium credits. One of these tax deficiency notices is guaranteed by qa judicial pledge of cash deposits in the amount of R$685 million and treasury shares in the amount of R$504 million (market value).

On June 27, 2007, the Superior Court of Justice issued a contrary decision against another taxpayer denying the use of these credits. This decision is subject to review by the Federal Supreme Court, which, in the event, is the highest court. The Company observed that a number of other Brazilian companies are challenging in court the same prohibition and it has been following their progress.

The Company’s Management and legal advisors assess the total loss of this cause as possible, and thus, it does not require a provision, in comformity with the accounting rules adopted in Brazil. However, only the original amount referring to the credits that have been already offset, updated by the Selic rate, in the amount of R$1,520,046 (R$1,482,291 at March 31, 2007) was recorded as Company liability, as it is refers to a contingent credit. The difference between the total amount and the amount recorded as a provision is part of the R$4.3 billion reported above as administrative and legal proceedings, considered as possible loss.

Presumed IPI (Excise Tax) credit on inputs

The Company brought an action claiming the right to the IPI presumed credit on the acquisition of exempted, immune, non-taxed inputs, or inputs taxed at zero rate and, in May 2003, the Company obtained a preliminary court decision authorizing it to offset the liabilities related to federal taxes with the aforementioned credits and it is awaiting a decision which will still be subject to variouis stages of appeal before becoming final and unappealable.

The provision for IPI presumed credit recorded by the Company represents a liability related to the payment of taxes which were offset with the aforementioned credit.

The Company observed that a number of Brazilian companies are challenging the same decision and that both favorable and unfavorable decisions have been handed down to taxpayers in different phases of the respective proceedings. For example, on June 25, 2007 the Federal Supreme Court issued a final, unappealable decision against another taxpayer, in a similar proceeding, denying the offsetting of these credits.

On June 30, 2007, the amount related to the credits already offset and recorded under the Company’s liabilities amounted to R$984,591 (R$963,498 on March 31, 2007), updated by the Selic rate.

Other

The Company also recorded provisions for a number of other lawsuits referring to FGTS Supplementary Law 110/01, COFINS Law 10833/03, PIS Law 10637/02 and PIS/COFINS Manaus Free-Trade Zone, in the amount of R$55,228 at June 30, 2007 (R$53,084 at March 31, 2007), which includes legal charges.

vii. Investment policy and payment of interest on shareholders’ equity and dividends

On December 11, 2000, CSN’s Board of Directors decided to adopt a policy for distribution of profit, which, observing the provisions of Law 6404/76, amended by Law 9457/97 implies the distribution of all the Company’s net profit to the shareholders, provided that the following priorities are preserved irrespective of their order: (i) corporate strategy, (ii) compliance with obligations, (iii) consummation of the necessary investments and (iv) maintenance of the Company’s good financial situation.

20. INTEREST ON SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The calculation of interest on shareholders’ equity is based on the variation of in the Long-Term Interest Rate over shareholders’ equity, limited to 50% of the income for the year before income tax or 50% of retained earnings and profit reserves, where the higher of the two limits may be used, pursuant to the prevailing laws.

In compliance with CVM Deliberation 207, of December 31, 1996 and the tax rules, the Company opted to record the proposed interest on shareholders’ equity in the amount of R$74,743 at June 30, 2007, corresponding to the remuneration of R$0.29141 per share, as corresponding entries against the financial expenses account, and reverse it in the same account, and not presenting it in the income statement and not generating effects on net income after IRPJ/CSL, except with respect to the tax effects, which are recognized under income and social contribution taxes.

On January 30, 2007, CSN took part in an auction for the acquisition of the Anglo-Dutch steel company Corus Group PLC and its offer of 603 cents a pound was beaten by the offer of the Indian company Tata Steel which was 608 cents a pound.

Due to unfavorable outcome and clauses of the agreement of intent for the purchase of shares of that company, signed between CSN and Corus Group PLC, CSN recorded the accounting effects of this operation, such as: (i) consolidated expenses incurred in the project in the approximate amount of R$113 million; and (ii) consolidated revenue related to the inducement fee^(a) in the amount of approximately R$235 million, in the balance sheet of the first quarter of this year. These amounts are included under “Other expenses” and “Other revenues”, respectively.

(a) Inducement Fee (also know as break up fee) – A fee determined by the legislation of the United Kingdom, where, by force of contract, the defeated party can be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in the participation in a bidding process. This fee may be up to 1% of the value offered by the company that had its offer beaten. In this case, the agreement between CSN and Corus Group foresaw a maximum percentage of 1% on the offer.

24. CONSOLIDATED NON OPERATING EXPENSES AND INCOME

At June 30, 2007, the consolidated non operating income of the Company amounted to R$180,369 (expense of R$162 at June 30, 2006). This result includes R$182,074, referring to the gain on the sale of 34,072,613 shares of Corus Group PLC, acquired by CSN for strategic reasons during the bidding process with Tata Steel for the acquisition of the total number of the shares of Corus Group PLC, which were sold in the first quarter of this year.

25. LOSS FROM BLAST FURNACE 3

On January 22, 2006 there was an accident involving equipment next to Blast Furnace 3, which mainly affected the powder collecting system and interrupted production of this equipment until the end of the first semiannual period of that year. The Company has an insurance policy for loss of profits and equipment in the maximum amount of US$750 million, which the Management considers sufficient to recover any losses arising from the accident. The cause of the accident had its coverage by the policy expressly recognized by the insurance companies, and the work to calculate the losses is in progress.

The amount of losses subject to indemnification indicated by regulating bodies up to the closing date of this quarter was US$445 million or R$951 million, translated by the exchange rate of December 31, 2006. Based on insurance policy and confident as to the conclusion of studies on the loss, CSN requested and the insurance companies granted an advance of US$237 million (equivalent to R$515 million), of which R$39 million was received in the first quarter of this year as an advance. The total amount advanced will be deducted from losses subject to indemnification, verified during the normal course of the regulation process.

At June 30, 2007 the Company had balance receivable from losses claimed in the amount of R$408,421, and the Company does not foresee any risk for this credit, considering the international reputation of the insurance and reinsurance companies.

28. EMPLOYEES’ PENSION FUND (unaudited)

(i) Administration of the Private Pension

The Company is the principal sponsor of CBS Previdência, a private non-profit pension fund established in July 1960, the main purpose of which is to pay supplementary benefits to participants in the official Pension Plan. CBS Previdência is composed of employees of CSN, of CSN related companies and the entity itself, provided they sign the adherence agreement.

(ii) Description of characteristics of the plans

CBS Previdência has three benefit plans, as follows:

35% average salary plan

This is a defined benefit plan which began on February 1, 1966, for the purpose of paying retirement pensions (time of service, special, disability or old age) on a life-long basis, equivalent to 35% of the participant’s last 12 salaries. The plan also guarantees the payment of a sickness allowance to a particpant on sick leave through the Official Pension Plan and it also guarantees the payment of death grant and a cash grant. The active and retired participants and the sponsors make thirteen contributions per year, which is the same as the number of benefits paid. This plan became inactive on October 31, 1977, when the new benefit plan came into force, and it is in process of extinction.

Supplementation of average salary plan

It is a defined benefit plan, which began on November 1, 1977. The purpose of this plan is to supplement the difference between the 12 last average salaries and the Official Pension Plan benefit, for the retired employees. It is also life-long. Like the 35% Average Salary Plan, there is a sickness allowance, the payment of a death grant and a pension. Thirteen contributions and benefits are paid per year. This plan became inactive on December 26, 1995, because of the creation of the combined supplementary benefits plan.

Combined supplementary benefits plan

Begun on December 27, 1995, it is a combined variable contribution plan. Besides the programmed pension benefit, there is the payment of risk benefits (pension in activity, disability and sickness benefit). In this plan, the retirement benefit is calculated based on the accumulated total sponsor’s and participant’s contributions (thirteen per year). Upon the participant’s retirement, the plan becomes a defined benefit plan and thirteen benefits are paid per year.

At June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the plans are composed as follows (unaudited):

(iii) Payment of actuarial deficit

According to official letter 1555/SPC/GAB/COA, of August 22, 2002, confirmed by official letter 1598/SPC/GAB/COA of August 28, 2002, a proposal was approved for refinancing the reserves

to amortize the sponsors’ responsibility in 240 consecutive monthly installments, monetarily indexed by INPC + 6% p.a., starting on June 28, 2002.

The agreement foresees the payment of installments in advance in the event of a need for cash in the defined benefit plan and the incorporation to the updated debit balance of eventual deficits/surpluses under the sponsors’ responsibility, so as to preserve the equilibrium of the plans without exceeding the maximum period of amortization stipulated in the agreement.

(iv) Actuarial Liabilities

As provided by CVM Deliberation 371/00, approving NPC 26 of IBRACON – “Accounting of Employee’s Benefits” which established new accounting practices for calculation and disclosure, the Company’s Management and its external actuaries calculated the effects arising from this practice and has kept records in conformity with the report dated January 10, 2007.

Recognition of Actuarial Liability

The Company’s Management decided to recognize the adjustments to the actuarial liabilities in the results for the period of five years as from January 1, 2002, and on December 31, 2006, the Company had recorded the total existing actuarial liability, and as from January 1, 2007, there remained only the recognition of eventual gains and/or losses which will be calculated at the end of each year, when we will have the annual assessment of the actuarial liabilities from the new reports issued by independent actuaries.

The current balance of the actuarial liabilities amounts to R$260,158 (R$273,642 at March 31, 2007), calculated according to the report issued on January 10, 2007.

With respect to the recognition of the actuarial liability, the amortizing contribution related to the portion of the participants in the settlement of the insufficiency of the reserve was deducted from the present value of total actuarial obligations of the respective plans. A number of participants are disputing this amortizing contribution in court, but the Company, based on the opinion its legal and actuarial advisers understands that this amortizing contribution was duly approved by the Department of Supplementary Pensions (SPC) and, therefore, is legally due by the participants.

In addition, in the case of the Combined Defined Contribution Supplementary Benefit Plan, which presents net asset and where the sponsor’s contribution corresponds to an equal counterpart of the participants’ contribution, the understanding of the actuary is that up to 50% of the net actuarial asset may be used to reduce the sponsor’s contribution. Accordingly, the sponsor opted to recognize 50% of this asset in its books, in the amount of R$7,983 in 2007 (R$17,204 in 2006).

29. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

• COMPANHIA DE FOMENTO MINERAL E PARTICIPAÇÕES – CFM

The Company, by means of its subsidiary Nacional Minérios (“NAMISA”), acquired all the shares of CFM, on July 20, 2007. CFM exploits a number of iron ore mines and owns ore processing facilities in the state of Minas Gerais. CFM sold approximately 3.6 million tonnes of iron ore in 2006 and in the first half of 2007 it sold approximately 2.7 million tonnes. The company is enlarging the production capacity of its facilities.

The acquisition price was US$440 million, of which US$100 million (R$186 million) was paid upon the execution of the purchase and sale agreement, and US$250 million was paid on August 1, 2007. The remaining US$90 million may be paid in four installments within two years provided that certain conditions of the purchase and sale agreement are fulfilled.

This acquisition is aligned with CSN’s strategy to turn Nacional Minérios into an international player in the mining sector.

08.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER

Production

Second-quarter crude steel production totaled 1.3 million tonnes, 240% up on the same period in 2006 and in line with the previous quarter. It is also worth noting that inventories of slabs and coils acquired from third parties following the accident to Blast Furnace 3 in January 2006 at higher prices than our own production costs, were entirely exhausted this quarter.

The output of rolled steel from the Presidente Vargas plant in turn came to 1.3 million tonnes in the second quarter, 11% more than in 1Q07 and 60% up year-on-year. The growth over 1Q07 was particularly significant, given that both periods reflect normal production levels. The following chart shows output per product in 2Q07 compared to previous quarters.

Production Costs (parent company)

The total production cost came to R$1.15 billion in the second quarter, R$41 million, or 3%, down on 2Q06 due to a combination of factors. On the one hand, there was an increase in virtually all the variable cost items (raw materials, fuel and maintenance) due to BF3’s return to full production in the Presidente Vargas plant. However, this was more than offset by the non-use of slabs acquired from third parties. The main cost variations were as follows:

• Raw materials: a total reduction of R$253 million, triggered by the return to full production in the Presidente Vargas plant. The main factor was the non-use of slabs acquired from third parties, which alone lowered costs by R$467 million. On the other hand, the resumption of internal production also pushed up total raw material costs by R$215 million, mainly from coal and coke (R$63 million), iron ore (R$ 46million), zinc, aluminum and tin (R$60 million) and others (R$46 million);

• Maintenance and services: an increase of R$134 million, essentially due to the R$92 million growth in expenses from installation and equipment maintenance;

• Labor, fuel and others: an increase of R$78 million, due to the resumption of normal production in the Presidente Vargas plant, R$16 million of which from fuel and electric power, R$7 million from labor, R$17 million from depreciation (due to the revaluation of the Company’s assets in 2Q07) and R$38 million from other inputs and suppliers;

Production costs in the first half climbed by R$253 million over 1H06, also due to the recovery of production at Presidente Vargas in Volta Redonda. The main period variations were as follows:

• Raw materials: a total reduction of R$57 million, basically due to the growing reduction in the use of third-party slabs in 1H07, which alone reduced raw material costs by R$524 million. However, the resumption of internal steel production pushed up the consumption of production related raw materials, primarily coal and coke (R$145 million), iron ore (R$84 million), zinc, aluminum and tin (R$143 million) and other raw materials used in the process as a whole (R$95 million);

• Maintenance and services: an increase of R$169 million, most of which from the R$95 million upturn in expenses from installation and equipment maintenance;

• Labor, fuel and others: an increase of R$141 million, due to the resumption of normal production in the Presidente Vargas plant which clearly led to higher consumption of fuel and electricity, whose costs moved up by R$21 million. For the same reason, labor costs rose by R$10 million, other inputs by R$ 83 million and depreciation by R$ 27 million, due to the revaluation of the Company’s assets in 2Q07.

The return to full production at Presidente Vargas allowed CSN to reduce its quarterly unit production cost by 33%, from R$1,301/t in 2Q06 to R$868/t in 2Q07. The first-half unit production cost fell by 35%, from R$1,358/t in 1H06 to R$881/t in 1H07.

In the particular case of slabs, production costs returned to their historical level of around US$ 260/t.

Sales

Total Sales Volume

CSN recorded total 2Q07 sales volume of 1.42 million tonnes, 19% up on 1Q07. Volume increased by 53% over 2Q06, when the supply of products was badly affected by the accident to equipment adjacent to BF3. First-half volume climbed 36% year-on-year.

Domestic Market

The domestic market sales volume stood at 911,000 tonnes in 2Q07, 27% more than in the previous quarter, thanks to heated demand in the second quarter. Volume moved up 33% over 2Q06.

Export Market

Export volume in the second quarter of 2007 totaled 512,000 tonnes, 8% more than in 1Q07 and a substantial 108% higher than the second quarter of 2006. The big year-on-year upturn was due to demand in the global steel markets and the restrictions on sales in 2Q06 caused by the accident to BF3. At that time, the Company prioritized the domestic market which led to a reduction in exports.

Market Share and Product Mix

In 2Q07, CSN expanded its share of the domestic flat steel market (hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized steel and tin mill products) to 35%, an improvement over the 33% recorded in 1Q07, basically due to the following factors:

• Construction, in which CSN retained a 51% share in 2Q07, was one of the main drivers behind the 6 p.p. increase in the Company’s market share over 2Q06. While the construction market expanded by 23%, CSN’s share of the segment increased by 41%. Demand also moved up for higher added-value products, such as Galvalume and pre-painted, of which CSN is Brazil’s sole producer;

• In the distribution sector, CSN’s share rose from 41% in 2Q06 to 47% in 2Q07, confirming its leadership. The Company’s growth in this segment was more than 18%, while the market shrank by 3% in the same period. It is also worth pointing out that CSN’s subsidiary, INAL, is Brazil’s biggest flat steel distributor;

• CSN held a 21% share of the auto-parts segment in 2Q07, 5 p.p. more than in 2Q06, thanks to a 40% increase in the Company’s sales, versus the market’s 32% in the same period.

As for the product mix, coated products accounted for 49% of product sales in 2Q07.

Prices

Average 2Q07 prices remained stable over the previous quarter on both the domestic and international markets. In comparison with 2Q06, prices moved up by close to 10% in local currencies. The increases announced in 1Q07 and 2Q07 should be fully reflected in the 3Q07 result.

Domestic market prices rose by more than 10% for all products, applied between May and June 2007, except for metal sheets. In comparison with 1Q07, average prices remained stable due to increased demand from sectors making intensive use of uncoated products, so that the “mix effect” offset the price adjustments.

As for exports, China continues pressuring prices worldwide, especially in the USA and Europe. We could have expected to see price hikes in these markets, but in fact they remained flat with a reduced number of transactions. As a result, compounded by the increase in international freight charges, we managed to keep our prices stable in Reais, totally absorbing the impact of the appreciation of the exchange rate in the period.

It is important to note that domestic prices are expected to remain unchanged in 3Q07, accompanied by a gradual recovery on the international front.

Mining

Casa de Pedra

Located in the municipality of Congonhas, in Minas Gerais, the Casa de Pedra mine supplies all of CSN’s iron ore needs. It produces lump ore, sinter-feed, pellet-feed and hematite, all of which have a high iron content and superior physical properties. Casa de Pedra is classified as a world-class mine thanks to its extensive mineral reserves and, more importantly, the high degree of purity of its ore (up to 68% Fe).

Casa de Pedra’s proven and probable reserves, audited by Golder Associates S.A, currently total 1.631 billion tonnes of iron ore with average purity of 47% Fe. Extraction, crushing and screening are carried out on-site. Currently, the mine has an installed extraction capacity of 16 million tonnes per year.

Arcos

The Arcos mine is responsible for supplying CSN’s fluxes (limestone and dolomite), which are transported to Volta Redonda via the Centro Atlântica Railway. As with Casa de Pedra, its ore is of exceptional quality. Not only does it have one of the largest limestone reserves in the world, but its limestone is considered the best in Brazil for metallurgical use. The mine is located in Pedreira da Bocaina, in the municipality of Arcos, Minas Gerais.

Nacional Minérios S.A (“NAMISA”)

Nacional Minérios S.A. (“NAMISA”), a wholly-owned CSN subsidiary, was created in November 2006 with the aim of consolidating the group’s mining operations. At the beginning of 2007, with the conclusion of the first expansion phase of the port terminal in Itaguaí (RJ)– which allowed CSN to handle and export iron ore - the first ship was loaded at the terminal with ore from NAMISA, marking the group’s first entry into the international iron ore market.

√ PRODUCTION

Casa de Pedra produced 4.187 million tonnes in the 2Q07, giving 7.848 million tonnes in the first half. Sinter-feed, the main product sent to the Presidente Vargas plant, accounted for 52% of the total. Lump ore and pellet-feed accounted for 21% and 20%, respectively, and hematite for 7%.

The Presidente Vargas plant absorbed 1.983 million tonnes in the quarter and 3.783 million tonnes year-to-date. In the steel production process, consumption is in the order of 1.5 tonnes of ore for each tonne of crude steel produced.


Casa de Pedra Production (in thousand t)
Product	1Q07	2Q07	1H07
Lump Ore	781	873	1,654
Sinter Feed	1,895	2,161	4,055
Pellet Feed	759	856	1,615
Hematite	226	297	524

Total	3,661	4,187	7,848

√ SALES

The sales volume of mining products amounted to 2.082 million tonnes in 2Q07 and 3.228 million tonnes year-to-date. The domestic market absorbed 54% of the first-half total, equivalent to 1.731 million tonnes, while exports accounted for 46%, equivalent to almost 1.5 million tonnes of iron ore shipped (1.497 million).

√ INVENTORIES

At the close of the 2Q07, Casa de Pedra’s iron ore inventories totaled around 9.5 million tonnes. With the operational start-up of the second phase of the TECAR iron ore terminal, with an estimated capacity of 30 million tonnes per year as of February 2008, these inventories, together with CSN and NAMISA’s expected 2008 production, will allow CSN to operate the terminal at full capacity.

Net Revenue

In comparison with 1Q07, the price effect, coupled with the increase in domestic and international sales volume, led to total 2Q07 net revenue of R$ 2.975 billion. In year-on-year terms, net revenue increased by 55% due to the price and volume trends previously mentioned.

Net Revenue (R$ MM)	1,716	802	2,518	63	95	158	298	2,974

* Including only iron ore figures.

Other Operating Revenue and Expenses

CSN’s 2Q07 operating expenses totaled R$378 million, R$595 million up year-on-year, chiefly due to the non-recurring booking of R$493 million in provisions for lost earnings in 2Q06, registered under “Other Operating Income”. In addition, selling expenses moved up by around R$88 million due the resumption of full production in the Presidente Vargas plant.

In relation to 1Q07, operating expenses increased by R$217 million, primarily due to non-recurring revenue of R$122 million in 1Q07 from the incentive pay related to CSN’s participation in the Corus auction, which was deducted from the corresponding expenses.

As for the lost earnings, until now, CSN has received R$515 million in advances from the insurers, R$39 million of which in 1Q07 and the rest in 2006.

The Company expects to receive a total of between US$600 million and US$ 650million from the insurers, including the amount already advanced.

EBITDA

CSN recorded EBITDA of R$1.282 billion in the 2Q07, 26% up on the previous quarter and 169% more than in the 2Q06, which is evidence of the gradual recovery throughout the quarters.

The 2Q07 EBITDA margin stood at 43%, around 8 p.p. higher than the average for 2006 and 2 p.p. more than in 1Q07. In June 2007, the parent company’s EBITDA margin reached 52.5%, one of the highest in its history.

It is important to note that, unlike in previous quarters, the 2Q07 margin was no longer suffering from the cost impact of the slabs acquired from third parties.

Year-to-date EBITDA totaled R$2.297 billion, 82% up on the 1H06.

Financial Result and Indebtedness

The 2Q07 net financial result was a positive R$ 391 million, versus a negative R$101 million in 2Q06, representing an improvement of R$492 million. In comparison with the positive R$ 54 million recorded in 1Q07, the improvement came to R$337 million.

The huge year-on-year improvement was primarily due to:

•   The reversal of R$328 million in provisions for PIS/COFINS taxes related to a judicial dispute regarding the legality of Law 9718/99 (expansion of the taxable base);
•    The appreciation of the Real against the US dollar, which generated a positive exchange variation of R$ 159 million;
•   Gains from the company’s own treasury operations.

Net debt totaled R$5,472 million at the close of 2Q07, substantially less than the R$6,050 million recorded at the end of the previous quarter. As a result, the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio continued following the downward trajectory in place since 2006, falling from 1.74x, in December 2006, to 1.56x in March 2007 and 1.29x at the end of June 2007.

Non-operating Revenue / Expenses

The Company’s 2Q07 non-operating result was in line with the 2Q06 figure but R$180 million down on the previous quarter due to non-recurring revenue of R$182 million in 1Q07 from the sale of CSN’s 3.8% stake in Corus Group PLC.

Income Taxes

Consolidated second-quarter income and social contribution taxes taxes totaled R$329 million, primarily due to taxable income in the period, as well as to the variations addressed above.

Net Income

CSN’s Net Income in 2Q07 totaled R$952 million, R$ 543 million higher than in the second quarter of 2006. The main variations contributing to this improved performance were as follows:

On the one hand, an increase of R$860 million in gross profit, due to the resumption of full production in the Presidente Vargas plant, coupled with the R$492 million improvement in the net financial result;
On the other hand, the same increase in production led to an upturn in operating expenses – R$ 105 million in SG&A expenses – plus a R$211 million increase in income and social contribution taxes. In the year-on-year comparison, the non-recurring booking of R$493 million in provisions for lost earnings under “Other Operating Income” also made a big negative contribution;

Net income in 2Q07 (R$952 million) was 25% up on the R$763 million recorded in 1Q07, basically due to:
An increase of R$ 288 million in gross profit, due to the resumption of full production in the Presidente Vargas plant, plus a R$337 million improvement in the net financial result;
On the other hand, the resumption of full production also led to a ROn the other hand, the resumption of full production also led to a R$93 million increase in operating expenses (SG&A expenses) and a R$39 million increase in income and social contribution taxes. The 1Q07 booking of non-recurring revenue amounting to R$304 million related to CSN’s participation in the Corus auction and the sale of CSN’s minority 3.8% stake in the latter company also contributed negatively.

Capex

CSN invested R$308 million in 2Q07, giving a first-half total of R$542 million. The parent company absorbed R$201 million of the second-quarter total, most of which went to the expansion of the Casa de Pedra mine and the port of Itaguaí, as well as equipment maintenance and repairs. Investments in subsidiaries totaled R$107 million and were concentrated in MRS Logística, the Company’s new cement plant and the container terminal (TECON), as detailed below:

√ Expansion of the Casa de Pedra iron ore mine: R$95 million;
√ Maintenance and repairs: R$25 million;
√ Expansion of the port of Itaguaí: R$16 million.
√ MRS (transport and logistics): R$46 million;
√ CSN Cimentos: R$24 million;
√ TECON: R$13 million.

The remainder went to smaller maintenance and technological projects designed to improve the operational efficiency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Working Capital


At the end of June 2007, working capital invested in the business totaled R$2.1 billion, 23% up on the end of 1Q07. The variation was mainly due to the substantial R$369 million increase in “Cash and Cash Equivalents” in the second quarter. The decrease in “Suppliers” was offset by the increase in “Taxes Payable”, but this had very little impact on the amount effectively generated. The average 2Q07 supplier payment period fell to 70 days, versus the 90-day average in recent quarters, returning to the level prior to the accident in January 2006. The average client payment and inventory periods remained stable compared to recent quarters at 31 days and 145 days, respectively.				R$ MM

The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of April 30, 2007 approved the payment of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity related to 2006 in the amount of R$1.4 billion, R$415 million and R$333 million of which were paid on June 30, 2006 and August 9, 2006, respectively, as advances on dividends, pursuant to the resolutions of the Board of Directors. The remaining R$ 685 million would have been paid on May 9, 2007, but payment was temporarily suspended as a result of a federal court decision regarding IPI (excise tax) credits on exports. CSN believes that the suspension will be lifted in the near future.
