11. Operational Performance
The Net Financial Result in 4Q08 was an expense of R$20.5 million, chiefly due to loan
charges.
The Net Result in the period was mainly impacted the high financial expenses and lower-than-

the positive margin contribution registered in the period. In addition, Adjustment to Market Value
of Stocks and Bad Debt Provisions also impacted the result.
