06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

ANATEL – the Brazilian Telecommunications Agency - by means of Act No. 4634, of August 11, 2009, published in the DOU (Federal Official Gazette) on August 14, 2009, gave its approval to the merger hereby presented, and also granted a period of eighteen (18) months for the elimination of the geographical overlapping of Switched Fixed Telephone Service (STFC) concessions held by TIM Celular and Intelig, in light of the combination between the two as a result of the aforementioned Merger.

At December 30, 2009, during the Special Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders of TIM Participações approved the merger of Holdco Participações Ltda., an entity that held 100% of the share capital of Intelig, into TIM Participações. As a result of this transaction, the Company issued 127,288,023 shares (43,356,672 common shares and 83,931,352 preferred shares) with a book value of R$516,725, in the name of JVCO.

This merger was stated at the book value of HOLDCO shareholders’ equity, or R$516,725, as of November 30, 2009, when the company also started to consolidate the income of HOLDCO and its subsidiary, Intelig.

Thus, TIM Participações became the controlling shareholder of Intelig, a company which held specific authorizations to render private fixed communication services with operations in the whole country, operating predominantly in the market for local, long distance and international calls and data transmission. Intelig shareholders’ equity as of the date of the merger, or November 30, 2009, was R$517,128.

The merger of HOLDCO has strategic and operational relevance for the Company, and its primary purpose is to enhance and enlarge the supply of services, as well as optimize available resources through synergy gains across its operations, since the two entities hold complementary networks. Intelig has a strong network of fiber optics in the metropolitan areas of the largest cities of Brazil as well as its own extensive backbone. This combination of own infrastructure will make it possible to improve the competitive positioning of the company, mainly in the corporate segment, and the provision of data transmission, which will also help the company generate savings with the costs of rental of means and the acceleration of the 3G network development.

3 Basis for preparation of Quarterly Information

4. Summary of the main accounting practices

a. Cash and cash equivalents

All highly-liquid short term investments whose original maturity date for the company is up to 90 days from the balance sheet date are considered as cash and cash equivalents.

b. Financial investments

Financial investments maturing within more than three months from balance sheet date are recorded at fair value, as current and noncurrent assets, on the balance sheet date.

c. Financial Instruments

The financial instruments are only recognized from the date the Company and its subsidiaries become part of the financial instrument contracts. Upon being recognized, they are initially recorded at fair value plus the transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition. An exception occurs in the case of financial assets and liabilities stated at fair value through income, where such costs are directly charged to income for the year.

Subsequently they are measured at each balance sheet date, in accordance with the rules applicable to each classification of financial assets and liabilities.

c.1) Financial assets: the principal financial assets recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries are: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, unrealized gains from derivative transactions and trade receivables. The following assets are classified under the categories below, according to the purpose for which they were acquired or issued.

(i) Financial assets shown at fair value through income: this category includes financial assets held for trading, and those initially stated at fair value through Income. If their original purpose is short-term sale or repurchase, they are classified as items held for trading. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading. At each balance sheet date they are measured at their fair value; the interest, monetary restatement, exchange variation and variations arising from measurement at fair value are recognized in income as incurred under financial revenues or expenses.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

(ii) Loans and receivables: these are non-derivative instruments with fixed or determinable payments, though not quoted in an active market. Upon initial recognition, they are measured at the amortized cost, according to the effective interest rate method. The interest rate, monetary restatement and exchange variation less, where applicable, impairment, are recognized in income as incurred, under financial revenues or expenses. These assets are substantially represented in the items “Accounts receivable” (Note 4.d) and “Allowance for doubtful accounts” (Note 4.e).

c.2) Financial liabilities: the main financial liabilities recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries are: trade payables, unrealized losses from derivative transactions and loans and financing. They are classified under the following categories, according to the nature of the contracted financial instruments:

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through income: these are financial liabilities usually traded before maturity, liabilities usually measured at fair value through income upon initial recognition and derivatives. At each balance sheet date they are measured at their fair value. The interest rate, monetary restatement, exchange variation and variations arising valuation at fair value, where applicable, are recognized in income as incurred as financial revenues and expenses.

(ii) Financial liabilities not measured at fair value: these are non-derivative financial liabilities not usually traded before maturity. Upon initial recognition they are measured at the amortized cost, according to the effective interest rate method. The interest rate, monetary restatement, exchange variation and variations arising from valuation at fair value, where applicable, are recognized to income as incurred as financial revenues and expenses.

d. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from telecommunications service customers are calculated at the rate ruling on the date of service rendering, and also include credits for services rendered but not billed until the balance sheet date, receivables from network use and receivables from sales of cell phone sets and accessories.

e. Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is shown as a reduction from accounts receivable and is recorded based on the customer portfolio profile, the aging of past due accounts, the economic scenario and the risks involved in each case. The allowance amount is considered sufficient to cover eventual losses on receivables. The expense for the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the selling expenses group.

f. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the average acquisition cost. A provision is recognized to adjust the cost of phone sets and accessories to net realizable value.

g. Prepaid expenses

The contribution to the Telecommunications Inspection Fund (FISTEL), which is booked as a prepaid expense, corresponds to the annual fee for inspection of operations and is based on the number of authorized stations in operation, as well as the total base of mobile numbers at the end of the previous calendar year. This tax is paid in the first quarter of each year and is amortized to expense throughout the year.

Other prepaid expenses are shown at the amount actually disbursed and not yet incurred and are recorded in expense as they occur.

The Company offers subsidies on the sale of handsets and mini-modems for post-paid clients, as formalized by the contracts themselves. Such subsidies are amortized using the straight-line method over the minimum period of the service agreement entered into by clients (12 months). The exit penalties for clients who cancel their subscriptions or migrate to a pre-paid system prior to the end of the contract are invariably greater than the subsidy granted on the sales of phone sets and mini modems.

h. Investments

The investments in subsidiaries are valued at the equity method.

i. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are shown at acquisition and/or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation, which is calculated by the straight-line method over the useful life of assets involved. Any repair and maintenance costs incurred, representing improvements, higher capacity or longer useful life, are capitalized, whereas the others are charged to income.

Interest and financial charges on financing to be invested in work in progress (assets and facilities in progress) are capitalized up until when they come into operation, and depreciation is based on the useful life of these assets.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The estimated costs to be incurred on disassembly of towers and equipment at leased sites are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lives of these assets.

Company management examines, on an annual basis, possible impairment of property, plant and equipment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset or group of assets may not be recovered, based on discounted future cash flows. The examinations are conducted through the lowest assets group level to which management is capable of attributing future identifiable cash flows. The Company analyzes the net book value of the assets and adjusts it when the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the net book value. These examinations did not identify the need to recognize any impairment loss.

j. Intangible assets

Intangible assets reflect: (i) the purchase of authorizations and radio frequency band licensing, shown at the acquisition cost; (ii) goodwill and (iii) software in use and/or under development.

The amortization expenses are calculated by the straight-line method over the useful life of assets, as follows: five years for software and fifteen years for radio frequency bands and authorizations. Goodwill was amortized up to December 2008 in accordance with a useful life of 10 years, with no amortization recorded as from January 1, 2009. From that date on, the company performs an annual analysis of possible impairment of the intangible assets, as provided for in item (i) herein.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are regularly reviewed in order to reflect technological changes.

TIM Celular’s goodwill was based on future profitability estimates and is subject to periodic impairment reviews.

k. Deferred assets

Deferred assets include pre-operating expenses and financial costs from the working capital needed in pre-operating phases of the subsidiaries, amortized within 10 years as from commencement of operations.

As provided for in Law 11638/07, the company interrupted pre-operating expenses and their respective financial costs regarding the pre-operating phase as from December 31, 2008, and the balance remaining at this date is being amortized in accordance with the useful life of the assets.

l. Liabilities

These are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal obligation or one arising from past events, the settlement of which may probably require disbursement of economic resources. Some liabilities involve uncertainties concerning term and value, and are estimated as incurred and recorded by means of a provision. The provisions are recorded based on the best estimates of the related risks.

m. Income and social contribution taxes

The provision for income and social contribution taxes is calculated in accordance with the legislation in force at the balance sheet date. Income tax is calculated at 15% on taxable income, plus a 10% surtax on portions exceeding R$240 in a 12-month period. Social contribution tax is calculated at 9% on taxable income.

Prepaid or offset table amounts are shown as current or noncurrent assets, depending on the expected of realization.

The deferred income and social contribution taxes on accumulated tax losses and temporary differences are evaluated based on the expected taxable income generation in the future, and adjusted to the recovery value through a provision set up in accordance with CVM Instruction 371/02.

Pursuant to Constitutive Reports 0144/2003 and 0232/2003 issued by ADENE (Agency for Development of the Northeast) on March 31, 2003, TIM Celular became a beneficiary of a fiscal incentive consisting of: (i) 75% reduction of income tax and non-reimbursable additional taxes, for a 10-year period from 2002 through 2011, calculated based on the income from operation of its installed capacity for digital mobile cell telephone services; and (ii) 37.5%, 25% and 12.5% reduction of income tax and non-reimbursable additional taxes for the fiscal years 2003, 2004-2008 and 2009-2013, respectively, calculated based on the income from operation of its installed capacity for analogical mobile cell telephone services.

n. Provision for contingencies

This provision is set up based on the opinion of the Companies´ internal and external lawyers and management, in an amount deemed sufficient to cover probable losses and risks. Possible losses and risks are disclosed, while remote losses are not.

o. Asset retirement obligations

The Company records provisions for asset retirement obligations and estimated costs brought to present value, which will be incurred on disassembly of towers and

u. Use of estimates

Estimates are used for measuring and recognizing certain assets and liabilities in the Company’s Quarterly Information. In determining these estimates, the Company considered past experiences and current events, premises related to future events and other objective and subjective factors. Significant items subject to estimates include: the choice of useful lives of property plant and equipment, intangible assets, the provision for doubtful accounts, the provision for losses on inventory, the analysis of the realizable value of property plant and equipment and intangible assets, deferred income and social contribution taxes, the rates and time frame for determining the adjustment to present value of certain assets and liabilities, the provision for contingences and actuarial liabilities, the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments, the considerations regarding recognition and measurement of development costs capitalized as intangible assets and the estimate for the disclosure of the sensitivity analysis data for derivative financial instruments, in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 475/08.

The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in amounts that differ significantly from management estimates, decisions and assumptions.

v. Adjustment to present value

In compliance with Law No. 11.638/07, the subsidiaries recognize that the assets and liabilities arising from long-term transactions and significant short-term transactions, if considered material to working capital and the quarterly information as a whole, are adjusted to present value.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The long-term portion in the parent company figures basically refers to the income and social contribution taxes recoverable. Regarding the consolidated figures, this basically refers to ICMS on the subsidiaries´ acquisition of property, plant and equipment items.

The Company and TIM Celular have filed suits to challenge the constitutionality of Law No. 9718/98 regarding the expansion of the basis for calculating PIS and COFINS contributions on revenues other than those effectively arising from the Company’s sales. However, as they have not had a final favorable sentence, no PIS and COFINS credits have been recorded. According to management, and based on case law precedents decided by the High Courts, the chance of a favorable sentence to the Companies is probable. The amounts involved are, respectively, R$18,826 and R$43,798, monetarily adjusted.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

According to CVM Instruction No. 371/02, Art 2, II, based on the expectation of future taxable income generation, as foreseen by a technical study approved by management and reviewed by the fiscal council, TIM Celular recognized deferred tax assets on tax losses and temporary differences to which no statute of limitation applies.

Based on this technical report on the generation of future tax earnings, TIM Celular expects to recover such tax credits in the following periods:

2010		14,704
2011		51,379
2012		105,899
		171,982

The estimates on the recovery of tax credits were based on the estimates on taxable earnings and take into account various financial and business assumptions considered at the end of the fiscal year of 2009. They include a horizon of 3 years of estimates and will be re-assessed at the end of 2010. Thus, such estimates may not come to be in the future, considering their inherent uncertainty.

(*) In April 2008, Federal Law No. 11.652 was published related to the payment of the contribution for Development of the Public Radio Service to EBC (Empresa Brasil de Comunicação). It is the understanding of the company that this Law is unconstitutional since the contribution instituted lacks the necessary characteristics for the valid creation of any taxes in accordance with the Federal Constitution. An injunction was filed in court to protect the interests of TIM Celular and in March 2010 court deposits were made related to the contribution for 2010 in the amount of R$56,086. A provision for this court deposit was recorded at this same amount under the item “Indirect taxes and contributions payable,” under Long-Term Liabilities. The writ of mandamus is awaiting a decision from the lower court, and, in the opinion of the Company’s internal and external legal counsel, the risk of loss is possible.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The foreign currency loan that was taken out with Banco BNP Paribas, with a guarantee provided by the SACE group and CCB (Bank Credit Schedules) for Working Capital contracted with Banco ABN AMRO Real S.A., which is now called Banco Santander Brasil S.A., has the same restrictive clauses under which that company has to comply with certain financial indices that are calculated on a half-yearly basis. The subsidiary company TIM Celular is in compliance with all the required financial indices.

The loan that TIM Celular S.A. has taken out from the BNDES (Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development), for the purpose of expanding the mobile telephone network, also has restrictive clauses under which the company has to comply with certain financial indices that are calculated on a half-yearly basis. The subsidiary has been complying with all the required financial indices.

In August 2010, BNDES financing (Investment Maintenance Program – BNDES PSI) in the amount of R$92,000 was released. The resources are being used in the acquisition of machines and equipment for projects aimed at increasing network capacity. Since this financing is subsidized by BNDES, that is, it bears lower interest rates compared to those prevailing in the market (4.5% p.a.), this arrangement fits within the scope of CPC 07 – Governmental Subsidies and Assistance. Thus, using the effective interest method defined in CPC 38 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the following points were considered: a comparison was carried out between i) the total amount of the debt based on the interest rates agreed and ii) the total amount of the debt based on interest used by the market (fair value). Based on this comparison, the subsidy granted by BNDES, adjusted to present value, totaled R$22,772. This amount is recorded in the group “Long-term Deferred Revenues - Governmental Subsidies,” and it will be deferred and recognized over the useful life of the asset being financed and recorded in “Other Subsidy Revenues.”

The Company’s subsidiaries entered into swap transactions as a hedge against any devaluation of the Brazilian currency (“Real”) vis-à-vis foreign currencies and changes in the fair value of their loans that were pegged to fixed interest rates and the TJLP (Long-Term interest Rate).

	208,167	38,113	(71,708)	(5,548)	169,024

Civil Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings filed against them by consumers, suppliers, service providers and consumer protection agencies, in connection with a number of issues that arise in the regular course of business. Management analyzes each legal or administrative proceeding with the aim of reaching a conclusion in relation to any particular contingency, classifying it as representing a probable, possible or remote risk. This sort of assessment is always based upon the opinion of the lawyers who are hired to deal with such cases. These assessments are reviewed at periodic intervals, and therefore can be modified over the course of the proceedings, in light of new facts or events, such as changes in case law.

Consumer Lawsuits

The subsidiaries are parties to roughly 64,114 lawsuits (versus 61,697 as of June 30, 2010), which are mostly claims that have been filed by consumers. The aforementioned lawsuits relate to questions regarding the relationship between the subsidiaries and their clients, with highlight going to allegations of undue collection, contract cancellation, equipment defects and failures in terms of equipment delivery, as well as unjustified inclusion in credit report services.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Class Actions

There are two main class actions against subsidiaries where the risk of loss is regarded as being probable: (i) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Bahia with the aim of obtaining a ban on charging long-distance rates for calls originating and received between the towns of Petrolina/PE and Juazeiro/BA, due to the existence of “state border areas”; and (ii) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Rio de Janeiro, involving the impossibility of charging a contract termination penalty in the case of theft of phone sets. Due to the fact that the referred lawsuits entail positive and negative obligations and, taking into account the impossibility of accurately quantifying possible losses at the current stage of the legal proceedings, no provisions have been set up by management in relation to the above described contingencies.

Labor Contingencies

These refer both to claims filed by former employees, in relation to questions such as salary differences, wage parity, payments of variable compensation/commissions, additional legal payments, overtime and other provisions that were established during the period prior to privatization, as well as by former employees of service providers who, in accordance with the labor legislation in force, have filed claims against the Company and/or its subsidiaries on the grounds that they are responsible for labor related obligations that were not met with by the service provider companies that were contracted.

Labor Claims

Out of the total of 5,867 labor suits (5,192 as of June 30, 2010) filed against the Company and its subsidiaries, more than 79% relate to claims that involve service providers, with the great majority of these claims being concentrated in certain companies, which for the most part are located in the cities of São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba and Recife. As a result of the merger of HOLDCO into TIM Participações, that took place in December 2009, there are 37 labor claims involving TIM and Grupo Docas.

In relation to third-party claims, a number of these relate to specific projects involving the revision of service provider contracts, which in 2006 led to the termination of some of these contracts, with the subsequent winding up of these companies and the laying-off of employees. Another significant percentage of the contingencies that exist relates to the organizational restructuring processes, with highlight going to the closure of the Client Relationship Centers in Fortaleza, Salvador and Belo Horizonte, which resulted in the termination of 800 employees, including in-house staff as well as outsourced personnel.

Any assessment of the chances of loss regarding these actions and the contingent values is subject to revision at periodic intervals, taking into account the legal decisions reached during the course of the aforementioned processes, on account of regulatory changes or changes in Case Law Guidelines and Precedents issued by Superior Courts.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

Adjustments in the labor provision are based, for the most part, on the concentration of efforts aimed at intensifying the standardization process in relation to the classification of the risks of labor-related claims involving the Company and its subsidiaries, taking into account the fact that the management of labor litigation makes use of numerous methods of procedural analysis and evaluation of the existing risks.

Tax Contingencies

IR and CSLL

In 2005, TIM Celular was assessed by the State of Minas Gerais office of the Federal Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$126,933, in connection with: (i) taxation of monetary variations on swap transactions and exchange variations on outstanding loans; (ii) a separate fine for failure to pay social contribution on net income on an estimated monthly basis for the year 2002 and part of 2001; (iii) failure to pay corporate income tax on an estimated monthly basis for the year 2002; and (iv) remittance of interest overseas (IRRF – withholding income tax) – a voluntary disclosure that does not entail payment of arrears charges.

The subsidiary is currently challenging these assessments with the tax authorities. Based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of law firms that provide the company with legal advice, management had concluded that the probable loss to be incurred with these processes would come to a figure of R$32,750, and set up a provision in 2005 for this amount under the title “Provision for income and social contribution taxes”.

In September 2009, TIM Celular enrolled in the REFIS (Fiscal Recovery Program) which provided amnesty in relation to fines and interest charges along with the possibility of payment of federal tax debits by installment. TIM Celular opted to enroll partially in the REFIS program in regard to these assessments and paid the sum of R$4,884 in relation to the installment corresponding to exclusions from net income before CSLL (Social Contributions on Net Income) and exchange variations. The amount of the provision that was set up under the title “Provision for Income and Social Contribution Taxes” in connection with CSLL was R$8,547, while the amount of R$3,663, which corresponds to the difference between the value that had been provisioned and the amount that was actually paid, was reversed in favor of the subsidiary.

The subsidiary continues to challenge these assessments with the tax authorities. At present the total amount assessed comes to a figure of R$128,759, while the company has set up a provision for the sum of R$24,203, the amount considered as probable loss by the management of the Company.

In September 2003 TIM Celular was assessed by the State of Ceará office of the Federal Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$12,721 in connection with: (i) the disallowance of R$8,402 worth of expenses that had been included in the assessment of IRPJ (corporate income tax) for the period from 1999 through 2001; (ii) differences of R$3,208 in relation to CSLL payments for the years from 1998 through 2001; (iii) differences of R$334 and R$777, respectively, in relation to the payment of PIS (Employees’ Profit Participation Program) and COFINS (Tax for Social Security Financing) for the years from 1998 through 2002. The company filed an appeal against this assessment at the administrative level but was unsuccessful. Based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of the law firms that provide it with legal advice, management had concluded that the risk of loss in this case was probable. In September 2009, the subsidiary enrolled in the REFIS program in regard to these cases and paid the sum of R$3,213, while the amount of R$9,508, which corresponds to the difference between the amount that had been provisioned and the amount that was actually paid, was reversed in favor of the subsidiary (R$705 recorded under the title “Reversal of Contingency Provision” and R$8,803 under the title of “Provision for Income and Social Contribution Taxes”).

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

In 2008, TIM Participações was assessed by the State of Rio de Janeiro office of the Federal Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$3,227, in connection with the alleged non-homologation of the offset request regarding the negative balance in relation to 2003’s IRPJ. Based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of the law firms that provide it with legal advice, management concluded that the risk of loss in this case was probable. In September 2009, the company enrolled in the REFIS program, and paid the sum of R$1,702, while the amount of R$1,525, which corresponds to the difference between the amount that had been provisioned and the amount that was actually paid, was reversed in favor of the subsidiary (recorded under the title of “Provision for Income and Social Contribution Taxes”).

In 2006, TIM Celular was assessed by the State of Rio de Janeiro office of the Federal Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$825, in connection with the alleged non-homologation of various offset requests regarding negative balances in terms of IRPJ and CSLL for the year 1998 against debits in relation to COFINS, IRPJ and CSLL. Based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of law firms that provide it with legal advice, management concluded that the risk of loss in this case was probable. In September 2009, the subsidiary enrolled in the REFIS program, and paid the sum of R$340, while the amount of R$485, which corresponds to the difference between the amount that had been provisioned and the amount that was actually paid, was reversed in favor of the subsidiary (recorded under the title of “Provision for Income and Social Contribution Taxes”).

ICMS

In April 2002, the subsidiary Intelig was assessed by the State of Rio de Janeiro’s Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$149,460 in connection with (i) non-presentation of the credit control register of property, plant and equipment (locally Ciap) in accordance with the legislation; (ii) enforcement of the co-billing agreement in partnership with the operators for the purpose of optimizing its billing procedures, with failure to comply with the legislation’s additional obligations; (iii) failure to comply with the state legislation in connection with the accrual of ICMS (Goods and Services Tax) on the services provided from public telephones (TUP); (iv) the printing and issuing of invoices without the appropriate authorization (AIDF); and (v) non-payment of ICMS on import transactions based on an agreement or program signed with the State of Rio de Janeiro.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

August 2006 saw the publication of ICMS Convention No. 72/06, which authorized the states to reduce or waive interest, fines and monetary restatement in connection with the non-payment of ICMS arising from the provision of communication services. Therefore, based on the aforementioned convention, the subsidiary Intelig paid the sum of R$24,300 to settle its ICMS debits covered under the terms of the corresponding legislation.

Social Security (INSS)

In December 2005, the subsidiary Intelig was assessed by the Federal Revenue Secretariat for the sum of R$31,712, related to (i) withholding of 11% INSS on services provided by third parties; (ii) recording of the profit-sharing program outside the tax year; (iii) reversal of the provision for remuneration of delegated managers; (iv) difference between payment receipts and social security forms (GFIP) and (vi) lack of information in the GFIP. These assessments are being challenged at the administrative (cases i and iv) and judicial (cases ii, iii and v) levels, and based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of law firms that provide it with legal advice, the company’s management decided that the probable losses resulting from these proceedings would come to a figure of R$2,147, and thus set up a provision for this amount in September 2010.

Regulatory Contingencies

Due to an alleged failure to comply with some of the provisions set out in the SMP (Personal Mobile Service) and STFC (Switched Fixed Telephone Service) regulations and the quality targets defined under the General Quality Targets Plan for SMP (PGMQ-SMP) and for STFC – ANATEL filed some Procedures for the Determination of Non-Compliance of Obligations – PADO, involving the subsidiaries.

The subsidiaries have made every effort and have presented the arguments required for avoiding sanctions. These arguments, which are mostly of a technical and legal nature, may help significantly reduce the initial fine charged or lead to the definitive dismissal of the PADO, without any sanctions being applied.

Contingencies involving possible losses

Civil, Labor, Regulatory and Tax-related actions have been filed against the Company and its subsidiaries involving risk of loss that is classified as possible by the management and the Company’s lawyers. No provisions have been set up for these contingencies, summarized as follows:

The main actions where the risk of loss is classified as possible are described below:

Civil

Class Actions

There are five class actions against subsidiaries where the risk of loss is regarded as possible and which deserve to be highlighted. The aforementioned actions can be summarized as follows: (i) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Pernambuco, challenging the Company’s policy of exchanging defective phone sets, which is allegedly in disagreement with the manufacturer´s warranty terms; (ii) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Rio Grande do Norte (Natal), questioning the quality of the services provided and the network in that state; and (iii) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Pará, challenging the quality of the service provided by the network in São Felix do Xingú; (iv) a lawsuit against TIM Celular in the State of Maranhão, challenging the quality of the service provided by the network in Balsas; and (v) a lawsuit filed against TIM Celular, challenging the long distance charges levied on calls made in the municipality of Bertioga – State of São Paulo and in the surrounding region.

Other Actions and Proceedings

TIM Celular, along with other telecommunications companies, is a defendant in lawsuit that has been brought by GVT in the 4^th Lower Federal Court of the Federal District. The lawsuit is aimed at getting a declaration considering, as null and void, the contractual clause which deals with the VU-M amount used by the defendants as interconnection, which is deemed by the plaintiff to be illegal and abusive, and as such requiring the refunding of all amounts allegedly charged in excess since July 2004. The judge granted an injunction determining the provisional payment of VU-M at a figure of R$0.2899 per minute, and ordered that GVT make court deposits equal to the amount of the difference between this amount and the amount indicated by the defendants. The injunction was confirmed at the 1^st Lower Federal Court. TIM appealed this decision by means of an RESP, with a partial ruling in its favor, obligating GVT to pay TIM the amount fixed by ANATEL in the arbitration process in course at the Agency, to which GVT and VIVO are parties. In addition to the lawsuit, GVT has also filed a representation before the SDE (Secretariat of Economic Law), which agreed to file an Administrative Proceeding against the Company and other mobile telephone operators, on the grounds of an alleged infraction of economic principles, which was judged in March 2010.

The SDE ruled against the alleged practice of Price Squeeze and forwarded the process to CADE for judgment, also voting for the dismissal of the charge of uniform conduct ("cartel"). No decision has yet been handed down by the CADE.

TIM Celular is the defendant in a lawsuit for damages that has been filed by the services provider GLÓRIA SOUZA & CIA LTDA. before the 9^th Lower Court of the municipality of Belém, in the State of Pará, where it is claiming the sum of R$6,119. The aforementioned company provided TIM with outsourced labor in northern Brazil. Given TIM’s decision to terminate the contract, the other party, disagreeing, brought a lawsuit claiming moral damages, alleging losses as a result of claims for severance payments brought by its employees. TIM’s defense was presented and the reply from Gloria Souza & Cia. is pending.

A judicial action for collection was filed against TIM Celular by Mattos & Calumby Lisboa Advogados Associados, which is in progress at the 29^th Lower Court of the Judicial District of Rio de Janeiro. The plaintiff asserts that it is owed money as a result of the contractual relationship that was entered into with TIM (Contract for the Provision of Professional Legal Services). At the current time the process is in the expert examination phase.

A lawsuit has been brought against TIM Celular by the company (recharge distributor) INTEGRAÇÃO CONSULTORIA E SERVIÇOS TELEMÁTICOS LTDA., with the 2^nd Lower Court of the Judicial District of Florianópolis-State of Santa Catarina for the sum of R$4,000 which aims to suspend the enforceability of credits already executed by TIM, preliminarily claiming non-inclusion in credit reporting’ lists, as well as damages caused by contract termination. It should be stressed that TIM filed an execution action against the aforementioned company with the 4^th Lower Court of the Judicial District of Florianópolis-SC for the sum of R$3,957. TIM has made a declaration to the effect that the assets indicated by the execution debtor are insufficient to secure the execution. The case records have been stayed since January 2010 due to the fact that an Interlocutory Appeal has been filed.

There are 3 infraction notices that have been issued by the FUNDAÇÃO DE PROTEÇÃO E DEFESA DO CONSUMIDOR – PROCON-SP (FOUNDATION FOR THE PROTECTION AND DEFENSE OF THE CONSUMER). The infraction notices recorded under numbers 3,673/08 and 222/09 relate to fines imposed by PROCON-SP for the amount of R$3,192 based on failures to comply with the rules set out in Decree No. 6,523/08, which deals with Customer Service (SAC). For these cases TIM filed an administrative defense, but the fines were upheld at the administrative appellate level. For this reason, TIM filed a legal action, with the aim of cancelling the aforementioned fines, and is awaiting the final decision. The enforceability of the fines was suspended. Proceedings are still at the initial stage. Another infraction notice has been imposed by the aforementioned entity recorded under the number 1555D7, on the grounds that consumers were

This case was being discussed at the administrative level, and bearing in mind that the decision by the entity was unfavorable to TIM, a suit can still be filed to suspend and annul the fine applied. There is yet another infraction notice under number 5291D7, by which a fine of R$ 3,192 was applied, alleging that TIM failed to comply with State Law No. 13220/08 regarding the “Do Not Disturb” list (banning telemarketing). The case is still being discussed at the administrative level, and TIM has already submitted its defense. So far, there has been no final administrative decision.

MCS was TIM’s largest commercial partner in São Paulo (with approximately 40 stores). This commercial partnership had been in operation since 2003 and the contract ended in January 2010. The contract was terminated on account of disagreements between the parties in relation to the compensation amounts, the operation of the system, and the creation and determination of targets, along with other questions. MCS sought to lay the blame for its default and losses on TIM. It believes that its financial health has been negatively affected by the changes in TIM’s remuneration policy. Even before the contract had come to an end, MCS filed a lawsuit for termination of the contract and a claim for the payment of R$8,120. TIM filed a Restraining Action, in order to prevent MCS from transferring TIM stores to the competitor.

In March of 2010 the Restraining Action was ruled valid and it was determined that MCS should abstain from transferring the stores which were previously TIM stores for the period of twelve (12) months, starting from January 2, 2010 (the date when the contract ended). The action for termination of the contract is still in progress.

Labor Claims

A significant percentage of the existing contingencies relates to the organizational restructuring processes, with highlight going to the closure of the Client Relationship Centers (call centers) in Fortaleza, Salvador and Belo Horizonte, which resulted in the termination of 800 employees, including in-house staff as well as outsourced personnel.

Case records 01102-2006.024.03.00.0 refer to a public civil action filed by the Labor Public Prosecutor’s Office of the 3^rd Region of Minas Gerais, which alleged irregular outsourcing practices and contained a formal request for collective moral damages. A judgment was rendered and published on April 16, 2008, where the first degree acting judge ruled the Labor Public Prosecutors’ Office claims as partially valid, recognizing the irregular outsourcing and the collective moral damages. An appeal was filed against this decision, and was dismissed on July 13, 2009. Prior to filing the aforementioned appeal, TIM filed a writ of mandamus to prevent the immediate compliance of the coercive acts imposed by the sentence. In view of the appeal filed, the writ of mandamus lost its purpose.

In order to obtain staying effects for its appeal, TIM Celular filed an innominate writ of prevention, which was dismissed without prejudice. In order to reverse the decision of the Regional Labor Court of the 3^rd Region, TIM Celular filed an appeal against abusive acts of the judge with the Superior Labor Court, and obtained a favorable decision, which reversed the Court of Appeals´ decision. A motion for clarification was filed, but dismissed. On September 16, 2009, a motion to appeal was filed, which is awaiting judgment by the TST (Higher Labor Court).

As a result of the above mentioned Public Civil Action in Minas Gerais, the Labor Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Federal District filed case number 1218-2009.007.10.00.8 (Public Civil Action), alleging irregular outsourcing practices and a formal request for collective moral damages. The action was ruled groundless, establishing that, as a result of the General Telecommunications Law, all outsourcing in the telecommunications sector is legal. The Labor Public Prosecutor’s Office of filed an Ordinary Appeal in March/2010, which is awaiting the decision of the TRT (Regional Labor Court) of the 10^th Region.

A group of processes have been filed in the state of Paraná, involving claims for damages in connection with contractual provisions stamped in the employees´ labor booklets. According to an internal rule, TELEPAR undertook to supplement the retirement benefits of employees hired up until 1982. Prior to privatization, TELEPAR had proposed to implement this benefit by means of the payment of a certain amount in cash. However, some of the company’s former employees have questioned this transaction, and in some cases have obtained favorable decisions.

It should also be pointed out that there is a group of labor claims, particularly in São Paulo, from former Gazeta Mercantil employees who have filed claims requesting inclusion of Holdco or TIM Participações as defendants, with later payment of damages. We point out that the plaintiffs were employees of the company Gazeta Mercantil, without any ties to Holdco or TIM Participações. It should be stressed that prior to being taken over by TIM Participações, Holdco belonged to the Docas group, of which Gazeta Mercantil is a part.

Social Security

In São Paulo TIM Celular received a Debit Assessment Notice referring to an alleged irregularity in the payment of social security contributions in connection with the payment of the Employees’ Profit-Sharing Plan for the sum of R$2,388. The subsidiary filed its administrative defense, but on September 16, 2009 the decision was rendered which upheld the disputed notice. On October 5, 2009, an administrative appeal was filed, the judgment of which is still pending.

In May 2006, TIM Celular was assessed under tax assessment notice No. 35611926-2 for social security contributions that were allegedly due in connection with the following: (i) hiring bonus; (ii) non-adjusted bonus; (iii) payment for self-employed people’s activities; and (iv) sales incentives. The company filed an administrative defense but this did not reverse the tax assessment (decision – assessment). In an attempt to get this decision reversed, TIM Celular filed an appeal with the Ministry of Finance’s Taxpayers’ Council, which is now pending judgment.

Tax Claims

IR and CSLL

On October 30, 2006, TIM Celular received a tax assessment which initially amounted to R$331,171. In March 2007, the Federal Revenue Secretariat in Recife, in the State of Pernambuco, notified the subsidiary by means of a Tax Information Report, which informed the company that the amounts in connection with Income and Social Contribution Taxes and a separate fine, which totaled R$73,027 (principal and separate fine), had been excluded from the assessment. Thus, the final amount assessed was R$258,144. The tax assessments which make up the aforementioned administrative proceeding include demands in connection with Income and Social Contribution Taxes, together with a separate unrelated fine, for various reasons. Most of those refer to the amortization of goodwill resulting from the privatization auction of the Telebrás System and the related tax deductions. Under Law No. 9.532/97, art. 7, the proceeds of premium amortization can be included in the taxable income of a subsidiary created as a result of a merger, spin-off or consolidation, whereby one company has a stake in the other, with the said stake being acquired using goodwill based on the future profitability of the investee. It should be stressed that this is a normal market transaction and is in accordance with CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission) Instruction No. 319/99.

The Tax Information Report mentioned above did in fact lead to the segregation of part of the infractions contained in the assessment notice, which discussed the timing of the deductibility of the goodwill, in 159 specific federal tax offsetting proceedings which add up to a total amount of R$85,771. In September 2009 there was a decision that was partially favorable to TIM Celular in one of the offsetting proceedings, reducing part of the credit offset by the subsidiary. At present, the subsidiary continues to challenge the remainder of the offsetting proceedings, the total outstanding balance of which comes to a figure of R$76,778.

From May to July 2008, TIM Celular received 49 assessment notices of the same nature issued by the Federal Revenue in connection with Income and Social Contribution Taxes offset by the subsidiary in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, totaling R$11,088. The aforementioned assessments were all timely challenged by the subsidiary, and the subsidiary is now awaiting a decision at the administrative level.

In August 2010, TIM Celular received an infraction notice filed by the Federal Revenue in the State of Pernambuco, in the amount of R$ 6,717, covering partial certification of the request for a declared offsetting proceeding involving negative corporate income tax (IRPJ). This notice was challenged in a timely manner by the subsidiary, which is now awaiting a decision at the administrative level.

Income tax withholding (IRRF)

In October 2005, TIM Celular received a Tax Execution notification for the sum of R$5,624, in connection with the alleged failure to remit IRRF on rentals, royalties and work done without any employment ties. This subsidiary has already filed appeals and intends to challenge the aforementioned assessment at higher courts.

In December 2006, the subsidiary Intelig was assessed by the Federal Revenue for an amount of R$ 49,652, arising from the alleged nonpayment of IRRF and CIDE taxes on remittances to international interconnection providers. This assessment is being challenged, while the enforceability of the tax debit has been suspended, and is being discussed at the administrative level. Based on the final favorable decision of the court injunction, Intelig’s lawyers requested closure of the discussion at the administrative level, with the consequent cancellation of the infraction notices.

PIS and COFINS

In 2004, TIM Celular was assessed in connection with PIS and COFINS due on exchange variation arising from revenue generated in 1999. The two assessment notices added up to a total amount of R$30,913. TIM Celular had filed a Writ of Mandamus against the broadening of the tax assessment basis established by Law No. 9718/98. A judicial decision favorable to the company was issued in March 2006 in relation to the aforementioned Writ of Mandamus, declaring Law No. 9718/98 to be unconstitutional, preventing the collection of PIS and COFINS on non-operating revenue.

The above-mentioned tax assessments, which challenged the levying of PIS and COFINS on exchange rate variations in April 2007, the requirement for payment of PIS on exchange rate variations was canceled, and in February 2009, the requirement for payment of COFINS in connection with exchange rate variation was reduced by R$23,339, leaving the amount of R$2,263 still under discussion.

In October, November and December 2009, TIM Celular received 194 tax assessments amounting to the sum of R$26,076 which involve the payment of COFINS in connection with the non-homologation of the request for offset for the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, related primarily to the import of services. The aforementioned assessments are being challenged by the subsidiary at the administrative level.

In May 2010, TIM Celular received 3 infraction notices filed by the Federal Revenue Secretariat in São Paulo, as amounting to R$ 50,026, involving : (i) failure to pay IRRF on income of residents abroad, remitted as international roaming and payment to unidentified beneficiaries; (ii) failure to pay CIDE on the payment of royalties on overseas remittances, in addition to remittances regarding international roaming; and (iii) reduction of fiscal losses (IRPJ/CSLL) in regard to the deduction of unproven expenses by way of technical services. These infractions were challenged in a timely manner by the subsidiary, which is now awaiting a decision at the administrative level.

ICMS

TIM Celular received assessment notices from the tax authorities of the State of Santa Catarina in 2003 and 2004, mainly relating to disputes regarding the levying of ICMS on telecommunication services provided by the Parent Company, as well as in connection with the sale of phone sets. As a result of various favorable decisions in relation to the administrative processes the amount that is now being disputed is R$41,416, (the original tax assessment was for the sum of R$95,449). The subsidiary is currently challenging these assessments with the tax authorities at both the administrative as well as judicial levels. Based on the opinions both of the company’s own lawyers as well as of law firms that provide the company with legal advice, management concluded that the processes still in progress may result in a probable loss for the subsidiary.

Over the past few years, the subsidiary TIM Celular has received tax assessment notices drawn up by the tax authorities in various Brazilian states in connection with the payment of ICMS regarding operating aspects of the company’s activity of provision of telecommunications services, as well as the commercialization of merchandise. Some grounds or reasons for tax assessments in connection with alleged failure to pay the tax, according to the allegations of the inspection agents include: (i) discussion regarding the requirement to pay the difference between the intrastate and interstate ICMS rate on the purchase of property, plant and equipment items for use and consumption and the determination of the ICMS basis of calculation for acquisition of goods intended for sale; (ii) recording of the taxed services (according to the understanding of the tax authorities) as not taxed by the subsidiary in the Transfer Register; (iii) alleged underpayment due to usage of the incorrect rate and the entry of telecommunications services as not taxed; (iv) alleged failure to make payment due to differences between the amount actually paid and the amount declared; (v) payment of tax outside the term established by the state legislation, among others. The aforementioned assessments are being challenged in a timely fashion at both the administrative as well as the judicial level. The sum involved in those cases under discussion where the amount is in excess of R$5,000, comes to a total of R$105,670.

The subsidiary TIM Celular received tax assessment notices for ICMS drawn up by the tax authorities in the States of Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, for allegedly defaulting on payment of the tax, as well as the additional contribution regarding the “Fundo de Combate à Pobreza e às Desigualdades Sociais” (Fund for Fighting Poverty and Social Inequalities) allegedly due on: (i) the provision of international roaming services; and (ii) the provision of services in the pre-paid modality. The aforementioned assessments are being challenged at the administrative level and add up to a total sum of R$48,386.

The subsidiary TIM Celular received tax assessment notices drawn up by the tax authorities of the States of Paraíba, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná and Bahia for the respective sums of R$5,511, R$38,274, R$ 8,476 and R$19,938, in connection with the failure to proportionally reverse ICMS credits on shipment of exempt and non-taxed goods. The aforementioned assessments are being challenged by the subsidiary at the administrative level and add up to a total sum of R$72,199.

FUST – Telecommunications Services Universalization Fund

On December 15, 2005, ANATEL issued its Abstract No. 07 aimed, among other things, at charging FUST contributions on the interconnection revenues earned by the providers of telecommunications services, from the date upon which Law No. 9998 came into force. It is the continued understanding of the subsidiary company that based on the applicable legislation (including the provision in the sole paragraph of article 6 of Law No. 9998/00), the abovementioned revenues are not subject to the FUST charge, and accordingly, management has taken the necessary measures to protect the interests of the subsidiary company. A writ of mandamus was filed to protect the interests of the subsidiary in connection with the non-payment of FUST on interconnection revenues. ANATEL’s intention to charge FUST on such revenues has been suspended, due to the judicial decision in favor of the subsidiary company. The writ of mandamus is pending the decision from the court of appeals.

Since October 2006, ANATEL has issued a number of assessment notices against the subsidiary TIM Celular, in connection with FUST charges that are allegedly due on interconnection revenues between the years from 2001 to 2005, together with a fine for arrears, on account of Abstract No. 07/05.

The Ministry of Communications drew up assessment notices against the subsidiary TIM Celular in the amount of R$166,943, in connection with FUNTTEL amounts allegedly due on interconnection revenues for the years from 2001 to 2005, as well as a fine for arrears. It is the continued understanding of the Company that the above mentioned revenues are not subject to FUNTTEL. A writ of mandamus was filed to safeguard the Company’s interests in relation to the non-payment of FUNTTEL on interconnection revenues, on the same grounds as those used for the FUST process. The intention to charge FUNTTEL on interconnection revenues is under suspension, due to a favorable ruling obtained in relation to the writ of mandamus that was filed by the subsidiary.

The subsidiary Intelig has received a number of assessment notices from the Ministry of Communications, which add up to a total amount of R$9,038 in connection with FUNTTEL charges that are allegedly due on interconnection revenues for the periods from January to December 2002, March to December 2003, April to December 2004 and January to November 2005, respectively. The aforementioned assessments are being challenged at the administrative level.

Regulatory proceedings

TIM Celular is authorized to provide SMP in all Brazilian states for an indefinite period, and to use the radio frequencies associated with SMP, having obtained an extension from ANATEL of the authorizations for such radio-frequency usage, under the Terms of Authorization, for a period of 15 years counting from the end of the original period of validity of these authorizations.

Through dispatches issued in July of 2010, ANATEL confirmed the Suspensive effect associated with the charge of 2% of interconnection revenue involving payment of the renewal of RF’s. There has been no impact on the Company’s provisions, since at no time did the Company believe there was a regulatory obligation associated with this payment.

In view of the extension of authorization of usage of the radio frequencies associated with SMP, the subject matter of the above mentioned Terms of Authorization issued in accordance with the respective Acts, the Company received demands from ANATEL for payment of a new Installation Inspection Fee (TFI) for all its mobile stations in operation in the service-provision area, although these stations have already been licensed, for the sums shown in the table below. In the Company’s opinion these charges are improper.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The demand for payment of TFI is a result of Anatel’s understanding that Art. 9, III, of the Regulations for Collection of Revenues of the FISTEL Telecommunications Inspection Fund, approved by Resolution No. 255, which foresees the levying of TFI on the station at such time as the license is renewed, which entails the issuing of a new license. However, in the Company’s understanding this does not appear to be the correct interpretation of the provisions of the legislation applicable to the matter at hand, which is why the aforementioned charge was the cause for the timely challenge at the administrative level, with the requirement for payment of the charge being suspended until the definitive ruling of the challenge from ANATEL.

According to the Terms of Authorization for the operation of Personal Mobile Service (SMP), the subsidiary companies undertook to implement coverage of SMP in stages in relation to their respective regions, within the scope of the areas they were awarded, and they have done this. Also in accordance with the aforementioned Terms of Authorization, the subsidiary companies are required to operate in accordance with the quality standards established by ANATEL and comply with the obligations determined by the regulations. If there is a failure to perform the obligations as set out under the Terms of Authorization, the subsidiaries are subject to the filing of PADOs (Proceedings for the Determination of Noncompliance of Obligations) and possible sanctions as a result.

ANATEL has brought administrative proceedings against the subsidiaries for: (i) noncompliance with certain quality service indicators; and (ii) default on certain obligations assumed under the Terms of Authorization and relevant regulations.

The subsidiaries filed defenses and administrative appeals explaining that the reasons for default were due to several factors, most of them involuntary and not related to the companies’ activities and actions. The provision for regulatory contingencies shown in the balance sheet reflects the amount of expected losses classified as probable, as expected by management.

The provision is based on the estimated costs to be incurred on disassembly of towers and equipment at leased sites, discounted at present value so as to reflect the best current estimate.

25.... Shareholders’ equity

a. Capital

Upon resolution by the Board of Directors, without amending the bylaws, the Company is authorized to increase its capital to up to 2,500,000,000 common or preferred shares.

The Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 2, 2009, approved a capital increase in the amount of R$18,761, through the issue of 1,573,828 common shares and 3,046,671 preferred shares, with no par value, on behalf of TIM Brasil. This capital increase used the tax benefit produced by goodwill amortization and the Company’s partial spin-off. Minority shareholders were assured capitalization rights, based on the same conditions applicable to controlling shareholders, so that they could keep their minority interests. The subscription price was R$6.12 per common share and R$3.00 per preferred share.

Following the merger of HOLDCO (note 2), the Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 30, 2009, approved a capital increase of R$516,725, through issuance of 43,356,672 common shares and 83,931,352 preferred shares, with no par value, issued by the Company and subscribed on behalf of JVCO.

The subscribed and paid-in capital comprises shares with no par value, as follows:

	09/2010	06/2010

Number of common shares	843,281,477	843,281,477
Number of preferred shares	1,632,453,583	1,632,453,583
	2,475,735,060	2,475,735,060

b. Capital reserves

Special premium reserve

This reserve resulted from the corporate restructuring process carried out in 2000. The portion of the special reserve corresponding to the tax benefit obtained may be capitalized at the end of each fiscal year for the benefit of the controlling shareholder, through issuance of new shares. The respective capital increase will be subject to preemptive rights of the minority shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings by type and class upon the new issuance, and the amounts payable in connection with this right must be delivered directly to the controlling shareholder, in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 319/99.

c. Profit reserves

Legal reserve

This refers to 5% of net income for every year ended December 31, until the legal reserve equals 20% of capital. Also, the Company is authorized to stop setting up a legal reserve when, together with the Capital Reserves, it exceeds 30% of capital stock. This reserve can be used only for capital increase or offsetting of accumulated losses.

Reserve for expansion

This reserve is set up based on paragraph 2, article 46 of the bylaws and article 194 of Law No. 6404/76, and is intended to fund investment and expansion projects.

d. Dividends

Dividends are calculated according to the By-laws and Brazilian company law.

As stipulated in its bylaws, the Company shall distribute an amount equivalent to 25% of adjusted net income as a minimum dividend every year ended December 31, provided there are funds available for distribution.

Preferred shares are nonvoting, but are ensured the following preferences or advantages: (i) priority in the payment of capital at no premium and (ii) payment of a minimum non-cumulative dividend of 6% p.a. on the total obtained by dividing the subscribed capital stock by the total number of shares issued by the Company.

In order to comply with Law No. 10303/01, the Company’s bylaws were amended, including the first paragraph of article 10, which ensures the holders of preferred shares, every year, the right to receive dividends corresponding to 3% of net earnings per share, based on the balance sheet most recently approved, whenever the dividend established according to this criterion exceeds the dividend calculated according to the criteria previously established, as described in the preceding paragraph.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The balance sheet account balances are recorded in the following groups: accounts receivable, suppliers and other current assets and liabilities.

35.... Financial instruments and risk management

Through its subsidiaries, the Company performs non-speculative derivative transactions, to reduce the exchange and interest risks involved. These transactions include by swap contracts, and accordingly, no exotic or any other kind of derivative instruments is involved.

The Company’s financial instruments are presented, through its subsidiaries, in compliance with CVM Resolution No. 566, of December 17, 2008, which in turn approved CPC Technical Pronouncement No. 14 and CVM Instruction No. 475, of December 17, 2008.

Accordingly, the major risk factors to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed are as follows:

(i) Exchange variation risks

The exchange variation risks refer to the possibility of subsidiaries incurring losses on unfavorable exchange rate fluctuation, which would raise the outstanding balances of loans taken in the market along with the related financial charges. In order to eliminate this kind of risk, the subsidiaries enter into swap contracts with financial institutions.

As of September 30, 2010, the subsidiaries’ financing indexed to foreign currency was fully covered by swap contracts in terms of time and amount. Any gains or losses arising from these swap contracts are charged to income of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Besides the loans taken by the subsidiaries, which involve swap contracts, no other financial assets are indexed to foreign currencies.

(ii) Interest rate risks

Interest rate risks relate to:

- the possibility of variations in the fair value of financing obtained by TIM Celular at fixed interest rates, when these rates do not reflect the market’s current conditions. In order to mitigate this type of risk, TIM Celular enters into swap contracts with financial institutions, and changes the fixed interest rates charged on the financing to a percentage of the CDI. Any gains or losses arising from these swap contracts are charged to income of the subsidiary TIM Celular;

01763-9 TIM PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. 02.558.115/0001-21

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

- the possibility of variations in the fair value of TJLP-indexed financing taken by the subsidiary TIM Celular, when these rates are not proportional to that of the Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI). In order to mitigate this type of risk, the subsidiary TIM Celular enters into swap contracts with financial institutions, and changes the TJLP rate charged on the financing into a percentage of the CDI. Any gains or losses arising from these swap contracts are charged to income of the subsidiary TIM Celular;

- the possibility of unfavorable changes in interest rates, which would result in higher financial expenses for the subsidiaries due to the indebtedness and the obligations assumed by the subsidiaries under the swap contracts indexed to floating interest rates (CDI percentage). However, as of September 30, 2010, the subsidiaries’ financial funds were invested in Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDI), and this considerably reduces such risk.

(iii) Credit risk inherent to provision of services

This risk is related to the possibility of the subsidiaries incurring losses from the difficulty in collecting amounts billed to customers. In order to mitigate this risk, the subsidiaries perform credit analysis that assists management of risks related to collection problems, and monitor accounts receivable from subscribers, blocking the use of services by customers in case they default on payment of their bills. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, no customers accounted for more than 10% of net receivables from services provided or of revenue from services rendered in the periods then ended.

(iv) Credit risk inherent to the sale of phone sets and prepaid telephone cards

The policy adopted by the subsidiaries for the sale of phone sets and distribution of prepaid telephone cards is directly related to credit risk levels accepted in the regular course of business. The choice of partners, the diversification of the accounts receivable portfolio, the monitoring of loan conditions, the positions and limits defined for orders placed by traders, and the adoption of guarantees are procedures adopted by the subsidiaries to minimize possible collection problems with their business partners. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, no customers accounted for more than 10% of net receivables from the sale of goods or of revenue from the sale of goods in the periods then ended.

(v) Financial credit risk

This risk relates to the possibility of the subsidiaries incurring losses from the difficulty in realizing their short-term investments and swap contracts due to bankruptcy of the counterparties. The subsidiaries minimize the risk associated with these financial instruments by operating only with sound financial institutions, and adopting policies that establish maximum risk concentration levels by institution.

There is no concentration of available resources in connection with the work, services, concessions or rights mentioned above, which, if suddenly eliminated, could significantly impact the operations of the subsidiaries.

Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The consolidated derivative financial instruments are as follows:

	09/2010			06/2010
	Assets	Liabilities	Net	Assets	Liabilities	Net

Derivative transactions	29,782	137,331	(107,549)	89,274	159,632	(70,358)

2014	-	-
From 2015 on	18,365	134,781
	22,815	135,459

The fair values of derivative financial instruments of the subsidiaries were determined based on future cash flows (asset and liability position), taking into account the contracted conditions and bringing those flows to present value by means of the discounted future CDI interest rate disclosed in the market. The fair values were estimated at a specific time, based on information available and on the Company’s own valuation methodologies.

The Company’s hedge policy against financial risk – Summary

The Company’s policy stipulates the adoption of swap mechanisms against financial risks involved in financing taken in foreign or local currency, in order to control the exposure to risks related to exchange variation and interest rate variation.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

The contracting of derivative financial instruments against exchange exposure should occur simultaneously with the debt contract that originated the exposure. The level of risk coverage to be contracted for these exchange exposures is 100% in terms of time and amount.

With regard to the exposure to risk factors in local currency arising from financing linked to fixed interest rates or TJLP, given that the yield on the subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents is based on the CDI, their strategy is to change part of these risks into exposure to the CDI.

As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, no type of margin or guarantee applied to transactions with derivative instruments entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries.

The criteria for selection of financial institutions rely on parameters that take into account the rating provided by renowned risk analysis agencies, the shareholders’ equity and the degree of concentration of operations and funds.

The table below shows the derivative instruments transactions contracted by the subsidiaries and effective as of September 30 and June 30, 2010:

Swap of fixed interest vs. CDI

The subsidiary TIM Celular has debts contracted at fixed rats with Banco do Nordeste Brasil (BNB) and the BNDES. In order to protect itself against possible loss in the case of decline in the interest ratea, part of the financing contracted in 2004 and 2005 with BNB has been hedged. Said derivative instruments mature every month through April 2013 and protect approximately 56.09% of all the financing obtained from BNB by TIM Celular.

Based on BNB’s current reference rate of 10% p.a., the financing obtained by the subsidiary TIM Celular and the respective derivative instruments contracted as part of these financing transactions average 10.14% p.a. as a receivable item and 73.08 of the CDI as a payable item.. These derivative instruments were contracted from Santander and Itaú BBA S.A.

Swaps of TJLP vs. CDI

These derivative instrument transactions are intended to protect the subsidiary TIM Celular against possible loss due to increase in BNDES’s reference rate (TJLP) for financing contracted with this institution in 2005. Its payable portion is contracted at an average cost equivalent to 90.92% of the CDI. These transactions currently protect 13.50% of the total financing taken from BNDES. As of September 30, 2010, the subsidiary TIM Celular recorded a positive result from this transaction, having the following banks as partners: Santander and Itaú BBA S.A.

Swaps of Foreign Exchange vs. CDI

The derivative instruments of this type are intended to hedge the subsidiary TIM Celular against exchange risks arising from the foreign currency loan agreements with BNP Paribas and BEI.

The loan from BNP Paribas is hedged at an average cost of 95.01% of the CDI, and the loan from BEI is hedged at an average cost of 95.42% of the CDI.

On the receiving leg of the swap, the contracted rate is equal to the same coupon of the drawn line. In this case, the exchange variation on financing is fully offset by the variation on contracted swaps.

In addition, these swap contracts mature on the same date as the settlement of the debt, which will occur by the end of 2017.

These derivative instruments were contracted with Santander, Citibank, Morgan Stanley and BES.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

For identifying possible distortions on consolidated derivative instruments currently in force, a sensitivity analysis was made considering three different scenarios (probable, possible and remote) and the respective impact on the results attained, namely:

Description	09/2010	Probable Scenario	Possible Scenario	Remote Scenario

Fixed rate debt (partial amount)	71.492	71.492	69,640	67,900
Fair value of swap receivable	71,492	71,492	69,640	67,900
Fair value of swap payable	63,295	63,295	62,842	62,406
Swap net exposure	8,197	8,197	6,798	5,494

TJLP-indexed debt (partial amount)	253,010	253,010	245,715	238,179
Fair value of swap receivable	253,010	253,010	245,715	238,179
Fair value of swap payable	252,340	252,340	251,934	251,566
Swap net exposure	670	670	(6,219)	(13,387)

USD-indexed debt (Res. 2770, BNP Paribas and BEI)	698,595	698,595	894,392	1,098,084
Fair value of swap receivable	698,595	698,595	894,392	1,098,084
Fair value of swap payable	815,012	815,012	816,114	817,516
Swap net exposure	(116,417)	(116,417)	78,278	280,568

Because the subsidiaries own only financial derivative instruments intended to safeguard their financial debt, the changes in the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedge instrument, thus showing that the exposure effects arising from swaps are not significant. In connection with these transactions, the subsidiaries disclosed the fair value of debt and of the financial derivative instrument on separate lines (see above), so as to provide information on their net exposure in each of the three scenarios.

Note that all transactions with financial derivative instruments contracted by the subsidiaries are solely intended as hedges. Consequently, any increase or decrease in their respective market values will correspond to an inversely proportional change in the corresponding portion of the financial debt underlying the financial derivative instruments contracted by the subsidiaries.

Our sensitivity analyses referring to the derivative instruments in effect as of September 30, 2010 basically rely on assumptions relating to variations of the market interest rate and TJLP, as well as variations of foreign currencies underlying the swap contracts. These assumptions were chosen solely because of the characteristics of our derivative instruments, which are exposed only to interest rate and exchange rate variations.

Given the characteristics of the subsidiaries’ financial derivative instruments, our assumptions basically took into consideration the effect of a reduction in the main indices (CDI and TJLP) and fluctuation of the foreign currencies used in swap transactions (USD and JPY), with the following percentages and quotations as a result:

Supplementary Pension Plan

On August 7, 2006, the Company`s Board of Directors approved the implementation by Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A. of PGBL and VGBL Supplementary Pension Plans for the Company and TIM Celular. All employees not benefiting from pension plans sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries were eligible for these supplementary plans.

As of August 2000, Intelig’s employees are eligible for a defined contribution benefit plan managed by HSBC Fundo de Pensão pension fund. Despite being structured as a defined contribution benefit plan, the plan ensures a minimum benefit of three minimum salaries, which is a defined benefit for low-income beneficiaries.

Term of Atypical Contractual Relationship

The Company is the succeeding sponsoring company, as a result of the partial spin-off of Telecomunicações do Paraná S.A. – TELEPAR, of the private pension plans introduced in 1970 under a Collective Agreement, approved by the Atypical Contractual Agreement entered into by said company and the Unions representing the professional categories then existing.

This agreement covers 86 employees hired before December 31, 1982, to whom a supplementary pension plan is granted, on the condition that retirement only occurs after a minimum service time of 30 years for men and 25 years for women.

As a result of the Telebrás spin-off in June 1998, the Company opted for extinguishing this supplementary pension plan. Accordingly, the participants were entitled to payment in cash of accumulated benefits or transfer of the obligations assumed under this plan to the PBT-SISTEL plan. Most of the participants opted for payment in cash or enrollment in the PBT-SISTEL plan. The remainder, duly provided for, will be used to cover benefits due to the employees who have not made their option (4 employees as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010).

SISTEL and TIMPREV

The Company and TIM Celular have sponsored a private defined benefit pension plan for a group of TELEBRÁS system’s former employees, which is managed by Fundação Sistel de Seguridade Social – SISTEL, as a consequence of the legal provisions applicable to the privatization process of these companies in July 1998.

Given that in 1999 and 2000 the sponsors of the pension plans managed by SISTEL had already negotiated conditions for the creation of individual pension plans for each sponsoring company and maintenance of joint liability only in relation to the participants already assisted on January 31, 2000, the Companies and their subsidiaries, like other companies resulting from the former TELEBRÁS system, created in 2002 a defined contribution pension plan meeting the most modern social security standards adopted by private companies, and enabling migration to this plan of the employee groups linked to SISTEL.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

On November 13, 2002, the Brazilian Secretariat for Supplementary Pension Plans, through official ruling CGAJ/SPC No. 1917, approved the statutes of the new pension plan, hereafter the Statutes of TIMPREV Benefits Plan, as a defined contribution plan, which provide for new conditions for granting and maintaining benefits, as well as the rights and obligations of the Plan Managing Entity, the sponsoring companies, participants and the beneficiaries thereof.

Under this new plan, the sponsor’s regular contribution will correspond to 100% of a participant’s basic contribution, and TIMPREV’s managing entity will ensure the benefits listed below, under the terms and conditions agreed upon, with no obligation to grant any other benefits, even if the govern-sponsored social security entity starts granting them:

· Normal retirement pension

· Early retirement pension

· Disability pension

· Deferred proportional benefit

· Death pension

However, as not all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ employees have migrated to TIMPREV, the pension and health care plans deriving from the TELEBRÁS system briefly listed below remain:

PBS: defined benefits plan of SISTEL, which includes active employees who participated in the plans sponsored by the companies of the former TELEBRÁS system;

PBS Assistidos: a private, multi-sponsored pension plan for inactive employees;

Convênio de Administração: for managing pension payment to retirees and pensioners of the predecessors of the subsidiary companies;

PAMEC/Apólice de Ativos: health care plan for pensioners of the predecessors of the subsidiary companies;

PBT: defined-benefit plan for pensioners of the predecessors of the company and its subsidiaries;

PAMA: health care plan for retired employees and their dependents, on a shared-cost basis.

In accordance with the rules established by NPC-26 issued by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil – IBRACON, and approved by CVM Resolution No. 371, the plans having a surplus are not recorded by the Company, as it is impossible to recover these amounts. Besides, the amount of contributions will not be reduced for the future sponsor.

06.01 – NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION

On January 29, 2007 and April 9, 2007, through the Brazilian Secretariat for Supplementary Pension Plans - SPC, the Ministry of Social Security approved the transfer of the management of the benefits plans PBS–Tele Celular Sul, TIM Prev Sul, PBT–TIM, Convênio de Administração, PBS–Telenordeste Celular and TIM Prev Nordeste (according to SPC/DETEC/CGAT Communications Nos. 169, 167, 168, 912, 171 and 170, respectively) from SISTEL to HSBC – Fundo de Pensão.

The other plans - PAMA and PBS Assistidos – continue to be managed by SISTEL. The only exception is Plano PAMEC, which was extinguished, with the Company remaining responsible for coverage of the respective benefit, which from now on is called PAMEC/Apólice de Ativos.

In view of the approval of the proposed migration by the Board of Directors in January 2006, and the approvals by the Ministry of Social Security, the transfer of the above mentioned funds from SISTEL to HSBC – Fundo de Pensão came into effect in April 2007.

In the nine-month ended September 30, 2010, the contributions to the pension funds and other post-employment benefits totaled R$106 (R$136 in the same period of 2009).

37 Management’s Fees

The salaries and short-term benefits paid to the management of the Company and its subsidiaries in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, totaled R$3,689 (R$5,188 in the same period of 2009).

38 Insurance

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain a policy for monitoring the risks inherent to their operations. Thus, as of September 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had insurance coverage against operating risks, third party liability, and health, among others.

40 Transactions with Telefónica Group

On April 28, 2007, Assicurazioni Generali SpA, Intesa San Paolo S.p.A, Mediobanca S.p.A, Sintonia S.p.A and Telefónica S.A., entered into an agreement to acquire the whole capital of Olímpia S.p.A., a company which, in turn, held approximately 18% of the voting capital of Telecom Italia S.p.A., the indirect parent company of TIM Participações. This acquisition was made through Telco S.p.A (“Telco”). With the implementation of the transaction in October 2007, Telco came to hold 23.6% of the voting capital of Telecom Itália S.p.A., the indirect parent company of TIM Participações.

Through its Act No. 68.276/2007, published in the Federal Government Official Gazette of November 5, 2007, ANATEL approved the transaction and imposed certain restrictions to guarantee absolute segregation of businesses and operations performed by the Telefónica and TIM groups in Brazil. For purposes of ANATEL’s requirements, TIM Brasil and TIM Celular submitted to ANATEL the necessary measures to ensure this segregation de facto and de jure in Brazil, so that Telefónica’s participation in Telco S.p.A. cannot characterize influence on the financial, operational and strategic decisions made by TIM’s Brazilian operations. Therefore, TIM continues to operate in the Brazilian market on the same independent and autonomous basis as before.

The agreements between the operators of the TIM group controlled by TIM Participações and the operators of the Telefónica group in Brazil, in force at September 30, 2010, refer solely to telecommunications services covering interconnection, roaming, site-sharing and co-billing procedures, as well as contracts relating to CSP (operator code) at regular price and conditions, in accordance with applicable legislation. As of September 30, 2010, the receivables and payables arising from these agreements amounted to R$122,126 and R$92,682 respectively (R$125,776 and R$91,545 as of June 30, 2010). The amounts charged to income by the Company after approval of the transaction represent operating revenue and expenses totaling R$957,563and R$646,820respectively (R$1,040,605and R$690,832as of September 30, 2009).

Report of Independent Accountants

on Limited Review

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

TIM Participações S.A.

1 We have reviewed the accounting information included in the Quarterly Information (ITR) of TIM Participações S.A. and subsidiaries (parent company and consolidated) for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, comprising the balance sheets and the statements of operations, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows, explanatory notes and the performance report. This Quarterly Information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.

2 Our review was carried out in accordance with specific standards established by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON), in conjunction with the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and mainly comprised: (a) inquiries of and discussions with management responsible for the accounting, financial and operating areas of the Company with regard to the main criteria adopted for the preparation of the Quarterly Information; and (b) a review of information and of subsequent events which have, or could have, significant effects on the financial position and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

3 Based on our limited review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the Quarterly Information referred to above in order that it be stated in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, consistent with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).

4 As mentioned in Note 3, the CVM has approved several Pronouncements, Interpretations and Technical Guidance issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) to be effective as from 2010, which altered the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. As permitted by CVM Resolution No. 603/09, the Company’s management has opted to present its Quarterly Information by using the accounting standards adopted in Brazil until December 31, 2009. As required by said Resolution, Note 3 to the Quarterly Information discloses this fact and also provides a description of the main changes that may have an impact on the Company's year-end financial statements, as well as explanations of the reasons that make it impractical to present an estimate of their possible effects on stockholders' equity and the results of operations.
