Quarterly Financial Letter
     
   
1st Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009 – May, June and July
 
 
   
As expected, a difficult beginning of harvest
       
   
§
This section provides a summary of the quarterly performance of Cosan Ltd. (NYSE: CZZ), the parent company of the Cosan Group. The financial information in this section is therefore expressed in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For comparative purposes, the figures for the period prior to the constitution of Cosan Ltd were prepared on a pro-forma basis based on those of Cosan S.A. as if Cosan Ltd. had existed before the date of its constitution. More information on the financial statements of Cosan Ltd. is provided at the end of the section.
       
 
§
For Cosan, the FY’09 began with accelerated production, a product mix favoring ethanol and a policy of stockpiling. As a result, ethanol sales volume totaled 89.4 million gallons in the 1Q’09, 42.1% up year-on-year, while sugar volume, thanks to the build-up of stocks, recorded a slight decline of 4.9% to 791,700 tonnes.

§
The increase in international sugar prices and the impact of the appreciation of the Real against the dollar on domestic sales converted to dollars pushed up average sugar prices by 19.7% year-on-year to ¢US$12.44/lb, while average ethanol prices moved up by 23.7% to US$1.66 per gallon.
       
   
§
As a result, net operating revenue moved up by a hefty 30.8% year-on-year to US$394.0 million. However, the same exchange effect that fueled the increase in domestic sales revenue converted to dollars, also pushed up costs and expenses originally denominated in Reais. Production costs were also negatively impacted by the reduction in yield measured by the TSR, which fell by 5.7% over the 1Q’08.
       
   
§
Consequently, Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with EBITDA of US$14.6 million and an EBITDA margin of 3.7%, 43.3% down year-on-year. On the other hand, the exchange impact on dollar-denominated debt generated financial revenue, which helped absorb part of the depreciation of assets.

§
With a negative pre-tax result, Cosan S.A. recorded revenue from income tax in Brazil, due to the constitution of tax loss carryforwards. Thanks to the share of Cosan S.A.’s minority interests in its net loss, Cosan Ltd. posted a 1Q’09 net loss of US$29.3 million, versus net income of US$1.2 million in the 1Q’08.
       
   
§
Capex totaled US$169.3 million in the 1Q’09, 79.4% up year-on-year. The main investments included US$42.1 million in the Jataí greenfield project in Goiás; US$25.6 million in cogeneration projects in Costa Pinto, Rafard and Bonfim;

US$24.2 million in the conclusion of the cogeneration expansion of the Gasa unit; and US$33.8 million in sugarcane planting, as well as other minor projects in the industrial and agricultural areas.
       
   
§
In terms of capital structure, Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with net debt of US$82.7 million, a negligible amount when set against shareholders’ equity and minority interests of US$2.9 billion, and an exceptionally comfortable cash position of US$890.4 million.
       
   
§
In the 1Q’09, Cosan celebrated several more important achievements that formed part of its corporate strategy, having executed a series of important biomass energy sales contracts through auction and bilateral agreements through the Bonfim, Jataí, Gasa, Barra, Diamante and Univalem plants. All the contracts have similar characteristics, constituting fixed, inflation-adjusted revenue over 15 years which will not only increase EBITDA in consolidated cash flow, but will also, and even more importantly, greatly reduce the volatility of our results caused by swings in commodity prices and the exchange rate.
 
The major asset of Cosan Ltd. on its constitution was its equity interest in Cosan S.A. Its operating results are therefore substantially based on those of its subsidiary, Cosan S.A.
Cosan Ltd. uses the US$ as its reporting currency and the R$ as its functional currency.
The financial statements of Cosan Ltd. are drawn up primarily in US GAAP, while those of its subsidiary Cosan S.A. are drawn up primarily in BR GAAP. The main differences between the accounting practices of US GAAP and BR GAAP that affect the results of Cosan Ltd. are:
    ·       evaluation of acquired companies at their fair market value instead of their book value, increasing the value of fixed assets and, consequently, depreciation expenses;
·       the non-existence of asset revaluation and, consequently, depreciation of the revalued portion;
·       the non-existence of amortization of goodwill;
·       capitalization of interest on financings for fixed assets under construction;
·       mark-to-market of hedge instruments recorded directly in the result;
·       the booking of remuneration from the executives’ stock option plan under general and administrative expenses;
·       the non-existence of deferred expenses; and
·       the booking of goods acquired through leasing under assets.

§
As expected, Cosan S.A. (BOVESPA: CSAN3) experienced a bad beginning of harvest. While sugar prices look like being in a random recovery, ethanol prices, although slightly higher than a year ago, underwent their reaction to the start of the harvest, recording a year-on-year decline. On the production side, the exceptionally high rainfall in April and May jeopardized cane sucrose content, lowering yield in comparison with the previous year and pushing up production costs. In addition, the continuing appreciation of the Real against the dollar exerted negative pressure on export revenue. As if this were not enough, the inflationary inertia of the costs also affected the expenses, both in terms of freight and labor, with the beginning-of-year wage increase, pushing up selling expenses. All in all, then, these series of expected adverse impacts in the sector which together led Cosan to adopt a change in tactics. The Company therefore began to intensively build up ethanol and (especially) sugar inventories in order to take advantage of the product’s strong financial carrying incentives. However, this strategy ended up reducing immediate sugar sales, jeopardizing the dilution of fixed costs and expenses even further and putting even more pressure on short-term results.

§
The bias towards ethanol production simultaneously increased stocks and sales and 1Q’09 operating revenue moved up 8.1% year-on-year. If we include the result of hedge operations, however, this increase was a considerably more modest 1.4%, given that sugar price locks at the beginning of the FY’08 were generating much higher gains. The cost of goods sold, reflecting the low value of the cane TSR, climbed by 14.2%, while selling expenses jumped by 40.3% thanks to the upturn in freight costs and the hefty increase in ethanol exports. As a result, EBITDA totaled R$24.7 million, 50.1% below the 1Q’08, while EBITDAH, even when hedge operations are factored in, dropped by 47.5% year-on-year to R$69.9 million. This substantial reduction was insufficient to absorb growing depreciation from new investments, plantations and the amortization of goodwill from past acquisitions. As a result, Cosan posted a 1Q’09 net loss of R$58.1 million, versus net income of R$13.7 million in the 1Q’08, totally aligned with the previous guidance informed by the Company to the market.

stream in the 08/09 season. In fact, of the 32 new mills, 3 will not become operational this harvest and a further 11 have not yet done so, although they are scheduled for start-up within the next few months. The other 18 are already operating.
       
08/09 harvest in Brazil’s Central-South continues to prioritize ethanol production
 
 
§
According to the latest figures from UNICA, the sugarcane growers’ association, crushed cane volume in the Central-South totaled 244 million tonnes by August 15, 8.5% up on the same period in 2007, below the initially expected 15% increase. Period sugar production amounted to 12.5 million tonnes, 5% down year-on-year, while ethanol output moved up by 13.7% to more than 11.3 billion liters. Of this total, hydrous accounted for 7.6 billion liters, 23.2% up year-on-year, and anhydrous for 3.8 billion liters, down by 1.5%. Priority was still being given to ethanol, which accounted for 59.8% of crushed cane volume, while sugar accounted for 40.2%.
       
   
§
On the international front, initial forecasts put Indian sugar production from the 08/09 harvest at 21.8 million tonnes, around 5 million tonnes less than the season before. As we mentioned in our previous release, this reduction was due to the decline in planted area, thanks to low prices and higher returns from other crops such as wheat and rice. India’s domestic market has already begun to feel the impact of the reduced supply and prices have gone up by 10% in the last two months, out of step with international prices. As a result of all these factors, India‘s exports are likely to be substantially below the 4.4 million tonnes shipped during the 07/08 season.
       
   
§
On the other hand, despite the strong increase in Chinese demand, estimated at around 10%, leading to annual consumption of close to 14 million tonnes this year, domestic prices have reached their lowest level for three years due to record output of 14.8 million tonnes. As a result of the price slide, Chinese imports are not economically viable and local buyers have pulled out of the market. In addition, the authorities have been taking steps to discourage the use of remaining import licenses due to the ample availability of sugar on the home market.
       
   
§
International raw sugar prices averaged ¢US$11.59/lb in the 1Q’09, 24.8% up year-on-year, but 8.5% down on the ¢US$12.67/lb recorded in the 4Q’08.

Speculator flight substantially reduces the number of open contracts
 
§
In the 1Q’09, major hedge funds, plus smaller funds and speculators, reduced their net long positions by 33%, from 196,000 lots at the beginning of May to around 130,000 at the close of July, equivalent to 17% of all open contracts. It is also worth noting that the number of open contracts fell substantially, from 920,000 to 780,000 lots, a drop of around 15%, as speculators began to move out of commodities due to expectations of a global economic slowdown.
       
     
Funds Position (volume%) vs. Price NY11 (cents/pound)
     
       
   
§
Refined sugar prices on the international market averaged US$354.7/t in the 1Q’09, 10.1% up on the U$322.18/t recorded in the 1Q’08 and virtually flat over the same period the year before. The white premium closed the 1Q’09 at U$85/t, 12% down on the 4Q’08.
 
US refined sugar import quota drives up white premium
 
§
However, at the beginning of August, the USDA opened an import quota of 300,000 tonnes on refined sugar imports, which may be maintained for an indeterminate period if the following are confirmed: i) a 600,000 tonne decline in beet sugar production; ii) a reduction in refining capacity due to an accident in a major US refinery at the beginning of the year and; iii) an increase in the price of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) due to high corn prices. This measure pushed up the white premium to more than US$110/t.

Domestic crystal sugar prices (ESALQ) averaged R$26.67 per bag of 50 kg (or R$533.18/t) in the 1Q’09, versus R$25.96 per bag of 50 Kg (or R$519.28/t) in the 1Q’08. In relation to the 4Q’08, crystal prices remained more or less stable, dipping by 2.0%.

§
Domestic hydrous ethanol prices (ESALQ) averaged R$0.697/liter in the 1Q’09, 10.8% up on the R$0.629/liter recorded in the same period the year before, while anhydrous prices climbed 9.6% year-on-year to R$0.824/liter. In relation to the previous three months, hydrous fell by 3.6%, while anhydrous moved up by 2.3%. This contrary movement was due to strong period export demand for anhydrous ethanol.
       
Ethanol exports reach record levels in the 1Q’09
 
§
Ethanol exports in the 1Q’09 totaled 1.4 billion liters, a hefty 64% up year-on-year, chiefly fueled by strong US demand, in turn caused by the floods that hit the American Midwest in June, which impacted corn prices and hampered internal ethanol distribution. As a result, the US absorbed most of Brazil’s period ethanol exports, or 0.66 billion liters, followed by the CBI nations, with 0.32 billion and the EU, with 0.26 billion. It is also worth noting that ethanol exports in July reached the record level of 0.61 billion liters.

§
According to Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP), domestic retail gasoline prices averaged R$2.450/liter in the quarter, while hydrous ethanol prices averaged R$1.501/liter, giving a parity of 61.2%. Ethanol prices only exceeded 75% of gasoline prices in six Brazilian states (Amapa, Roraima, Pará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Piauí). In São Paulo state, the country’s largest consumption center, the ratio stood at only 52.3%.
       
Ethanol consumption continues to outpace gasoline consumption in the quarter
 
§
This highly favorable situation continued to favor ethanol consumption throughout the country – according to the ANP, hydrous consumption moved up 49% year-on-year in the 1Q’09. Quarterly sales totaled 4.7 billion liters – 3.2 billion liters of hydrous and 1.5 billion liters of anhydrous – versus 4.6 billion liters of gasoline in the same period.
 
     
Flex-fuel Vehicles Sales Evolution
     
       
   
§
According to Anfavea, the auto manufacturers’ association, new car sales  remained heated, totaling 704,607 units in the 1Q’09, 25% up year-on-year, while those of flex-fuel cars exceeded 650,000 units, equivalent to 87.6% of the total. The current flex-fuel fleet exceeds 7.2 million vehicles, 27% of the total fleet.
       
     
Exchange Rate Evolution – Last 24 Months (R$/US$)
     
       
   
§
The dollar closed the 1Q’09 at R$1.5666, representing a 7.7% appreciation of the Real over the end of the 4Q’08. After the end of the quarter, however, the

dollar began to move up against the world’s other leading currencies and is currently quoted at R$1.8.
 
 
 
B. Operating Performance
     
 
§
Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with an EBITDAH margin of only 10.2% and a negative bottom line. The main factor behind these figures, which were substantially below 1Q’08 levels, was the big reduction in TSR (total recoverable sugar, a measure of sugarcane sucrose content), which had a direct impact on production costs and, consequently, the cost of goods sold, which increased by R$78.1 million year-on-year. However, there were also several other negative factors, including inflation, commodity prices, the exchange rate and the decision to stockpile.

Exchange rate continues to hit exports
 
§
The influence of the exchange rate on Cosan’s exports remained strong. Thus, with one more quarter in which the Real appreciated against the dollar, exports lost even more ground, despite the big increase in volume, falling to 59.4% of total revenue (65% of total revenue in terms of sugar-equivalent volume). Nevertheless, ethanol shipments have played an important role in regulating domestic prices and sugar supply. This instrument, although partially jeopardizing the direct result of exported ethanol, with relatively low prices and an unsatisfactory exchange rate, ends up generating higher profits from sugar sales and domestic ethanol sales.

§
In terms of product mix, Cosan once again gave priority for the ethanol production, while the strategy for the sugar production was to build up stocks. As a result, sugar’s share of total revenue fell from 62.8% in the 1Q’08 to 55.1% in the 1Q’09. Ethanol’s share moved up from 28.6% to 37.8% in the same period, and also climbed up over the revenue from other products and services, which fell in value and also lost share, chiefly due to reduced port activities, in turn caused by the decline in sugar shipments.

§
As for sugar, while domestic sales volume remained virtually flat over the 1Q’08, exports fell by 6.8% to 737,800 tonnes. As a result, total sales volume fell by 6.0% year-on-year. On the other hand, thanks to increased production and Cosan’s stockpiling strategy, sugar inventories closed the quarter at 555,700 tonnes, a hefty 81.2% up on the end of the 1Q’08. At current sales levels, these stocks are sufficient for 63 days, versus only 33 days a year ago. This has allowed the Company to capture important carrying premiums paid by the market, measured by future sugar contract spreads, which reached more than 100% p.a. on the expiry of the May/08 contract.
       
   
§
Thanks to the increase in the market price and the appreciation of the Real, sugar prices averaged R$445/t (¢US$12.45/lb), just 0.8% up on the R$442/t (¢US$10.37/lb) recorded in the 1Q’08, albeit accompanied by a combination of factors that were highly harmful to the competitiveness of Brazilian sugar.

§
Total ethanol sales volume recorded robust year-on-year growth of 38.2%. Exports moved up by a hefty 63.0%, which accounted for 34.0% of the period total ethanol sales, versus 28.8% in the 1Q’08, and domestic sales climbed by a respectable 28.1%, led by hydrous ethanol, which is used in flex-fuel vehicles. Despite this big increase, following the 17.1% upturn in production, stocks also moved up, closing the quarter at 349.6 million liters. As with sugar, Cosan has been pursuing a stockpiling policy, attempting to benefit from possible price gains in the off-season, which traditionally offer a premium which is much higher than the carrying cost of the inventories themselves.
 
Ethanol exports balance domestic supply
 
 
§
Ethanol average prices were slightly more favorable than those of sugar, growing by 3.6% over the 1Q’08 to R$714 per thousand liters. As mentioned earlier, it is worth remembering the important role played by exports in regulating the market, with an average price slightly lower than those at home due to the built-in FOB value, leading to the shrinkage of the domestic market and helping to support higher prices comparing to the year before.

§
Revenue from other products and services fell by 10.9%, from R$51.0 million in the 1Q’08 to R$45.4 million, primarily due to the reduction in the volume of port services and the impact of the appreciation of the Real, given that most such services are priced in dollars. In fact, like Cosan itself, the entire sugar sector delayed their foreign shipments until the second half, leaving the port relatively idle. However, it is worth emphasizing that since port service contracts are of the take-or-pay type, even if this shipment volume is not recovered, port operations will still be remunerated. The main item in this revenue group, however, is still the sale of diesel to Cosan’s own third-party agricultural service providers, which generated net revenue of R$13.4 million in the 1Q’09. However, this operation generates no margins as the entire amount is also booked under cost of other products and services.
       
Unit sugarcane costs jeopardized by low sucrose content
 
§
The cost of goods sold and services rendered increased by 14.2% year-on-year to R$626.0 million, mainly due to the lower sucrose content (TSR) of the cane processed in the period. The sugar and ethanol production cost edged up by 0.5%, from R$55.1 per tonne of processed cane, in the 1Q’08, to R$55.4 in the 1Q’09. However, since sugar content fell by 5.7% to 130.8 kg per tonne of cane, the cost per TSR produced increased by 6.6% to R$423.3 per ton of TSR. And since sales volume also rose by 8.5% in sugar-equivalent terms, the combined effect of low yield and high volume pushed up the cost of goods sold and services rendered.
       
   
§
In terms of production, the agricultural phase was still responsible for adding most value, contributing R$44.4 per ton of cane, versus R$44.85 in the 1Q’08, and accounting for 80.2% of sugar-equivalent production costs. Industrial costs came to R$10.98 per ton of cane, or 19.8% of total production costs. The cost of the cane delivered at the mill (R$44,4/ton of cane) includes 43% of the cane acquired from third parties for R$38.6 per ton of cane and 57% of the cane planted by Cosan for R$48.7 per ton of cane.
       
   
§
Mechanization was responsible for 50% of harvested area in the 1Q’09, at a cost of R$18.7/t, with an average yield of 553 tonnes per day per machine, while the remaining 50% was harvested by hand through burning at a cost of R$21.6/t, both figures including depreciation. It is worth remembering that mechanically harvested area and yield per harvester are both moving up within a normal learning curve. This combined effect should generate a big reduction in cutting, loading and transportation costs.
       
   
§
Another important factor in agricultural production, that of crop treatment, remained stable at R$1,080.0/ha. Although punishing input price inflation has exerted upward pressure on costs, this has been offset by economies generated by the resizing of activities and the reformulation of applications.

§
In terms of unit costs per product sold, sugar costs increased by 2.6% year-on-year and those of ethanol by 7.1%, the difference reflecting the production mix between plants (those with slightly higher production costs turning out more ethanol and those with lower costs producing more sugar). However, this type of distortion is corrected over the course of the harvest.

Selling expenses record a year-on-year upturn due to ethanol exports
 
§
Selling expenses totaled R$85.7 million, 40.3% up year-on-year. In unit sugar-equivalent terms, this corresponds to R$63/t, 29.3% more than the R$49/t recorded in the 1Q’08.

§
Part of this upturn was due to sugar freight costs. As we mentioned in our 2Q’08 Release, part of the 1Q’08 expenses were retained in current assets as expenses from subsequent periods, only being discharged in the result in the 2Q’08. Real sugar freight costs came to R$49.6/t in the 1Q’09, versus an adjusted R$50.8/t in the 1Q’08. Another important factor in the increase in selling expenses was the upturn in ethanol freight costs caused by record exports, which pushed up tanker-truck transport, and the introduction of the mandatory biodiesel mix with production in the North and Northeast of Brazil.
       
   
§
G&A expenses totaled R$59.7 million in the 1Q’09, representing 9.3% of net revenue, 4.8% up on the R$57.0 million recorded in the 1Q’08. In unit sugar-equivalent terms, however, these expenses dropped by 3.4%, from R$46/t to R$44/t, thanks to higher production volume.

§
G&A expenses were leveraged by three main factors: (i) the 23.5% growth in own labor costs to R$27.9 million, reflecting union agreements and the higher average wage due to a more qualified workforce (ii) non-recurring expenses of R$2.0 million in legal fees for the provision of services related to fiscal disputes and other contingencies; (iii) increased depreciation, reflecting the beginning of depreciation of amounts related to the acquisition of licenses and the installation of the SAP ERP. On the other hand, there was a big reduction in expenses from third-party services in general, which fell by R$4.1 million year-on-year, reflecting Cosan’s cost-reduction drive, which we have mentioned previously.
 
   
§
Other operating expenses amounted to R$0.6 million, including non-cash expenses of R$10.6 million from the constitution of provisions for fiscal contingencies (mainly ICMS tax), operating revenue of R$4.4 million related to gains from the roll-over of physical sugar contracts with trading companies, and R$3.9 million in gains from port operations due to storage and demurrage/dispatch premiums, as well as R$1.8 million from rent and leasing.
       
Exchange variation influences the ‘Q’09 financial result
 
§
The Company posted another positive net financial result, chiefly thanks to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar. Although the exchange variation corroded average export prices, the restatement of dollar-denominated debt generated exchange revenue of R$101.5 million, versus R$128.5 million in the 1Q’08.

§
Derivative transactions, especially exchange-related, also made a major contribution to financial revenue, albeit less so than in the 1Q’08. All in all, transactions involving commodity derivatives recorded gains of R$7.9 million, versus R$44.0 million in the 1Q’08, while exchange derivatives generated gains of R$37.4 million, versus R$39.8 million in the 1Q’08.
       
 
§
At the close of the 1Q’09, Cosan had 2,072,500 tonnes of VHP sugar tied to the NY11, hedged at an average price of ¢US$13.42/lb, with an estimated negative  market value of R$109.6 million, and 26,500 tonnes of refined sugar, tied to the London5, hedged at an average price of US$367.63/t. It also had US$513.8 million hedged at an average exchange rate of R$1.8304/US$ with an estimated market value of R$102.4 million.
     
 
§
The increase in expenses from other interest and monetary variations was caused by the upturn in the balance of provisions for contingencies most of which are restated by the CDI, which remained flat, and the onerous monetary variation related to the PESA debt, restated by the IGP-M inflationary index, which recorded 5.45% in the 1Q’09, versus just 0.58% in the 1Q’08.
       
   
§
The 27.8% reduction in expenses from goodwill amortizations to R$40.4 million in the 1Q’09 reflected the conclusion of the amortization payments related to the acquisition of Barra five years ago and the beginning of the amortization process for the recently-acquired Benálcool.
       
   
§
The positive income and social contribution tax result reflected the constitution of deferred taxes from the period fiscal loss and the negative social contribution base and were levied at a nominal rate of 34% and adjusted for tax-deductible revenue and expenses. At the close of the 1Q’09, Cosan recorded R$386.7 million in deferred income and social contribution taxes, realizable in the long term, R$260.4 million of which in temporary differences, especially provisions for contingencies, and R$126.3 million relative to tax-loss carryforwards and negative social contribution bases which can be offset by future taxable income (cash basis).

C. Financial Situation
     
   
§
The Company closed the 1Q’09 with gross debt of R$1,537.7 million, well below the R$2,234.9 million recorded at the end of the 1Q’08, due to the impact of the exchange variation and the prepayment of US$164.2 million of the Senior Notes maturing in 2009, commented on in the 2Q’08 Release. Taking cash and cash equivalents and financial assets into consideration, net debt stood at R$903.8 million, versus R$1,418.5 million at the close of the 1Q’08.

Work speeds up on greenfield unit in Jataí
 
§
Operating capex came to R$253.3 million, 50.1% up on the R$170.3 million invested in the 1Q’08. Growth was chiefly leveraged by the termination of investments related to the expansion of the Gasa unit (R$39.4 million), disbursements related to the Jataí greenfield project (R$68.3 million) and the conclusion of the cogeneration projects in the Costa Pinto and Rafard units and the beginning of expenditures on the Bonfim unit.
       
   
§
Other major operating investments included: (i) R$8.4 million in the construction of additional ethanol tankage capacity in the Ipaussu, Bonfim, Barra and Gasa units; (ii) R$6.6 million in the construction of pipelines to carry vignasse to the plantations for environmental reasons and to reduce dependence on fertilizers,

and; (iii) R$15.3 million in mechanization, including new harvesters, tractors, implements and trucks for agricultural operations in the various units.
       
   
§
Investments in sugarcane planting (except in Jataí, included in the greenfield expenses mentioned above) remained flat over the 1Q’08. As of the 2Q’09, however, Cosan will be reducing planted area and, consequently, planting capex.
 
   
E. Material Facts
       
   
§
On August 14, the subsidiary Barra Bioenergia S.A., signed an agreement with CPFL Comercialização Brasil S.A. (“CPFL”) to sell the latter between 2,900 GWh and 3,600 GWh of electric power over 15 years, totaling around R$ 500 million, adjusted annually by the variation in the IGP-M inflationary index. The energy will be supplied by a cogeneration facility to be built in association with the Gasa unit. The agreement also envisages the supply of any surplus electricity from the same plant, including from the increased use of biomass, i.e. the use of sugarcane leaves and straw in addition to bagasse.
       
   
§
Given the advanced conclusion of the cogeneration projects in the Costa Pinto and Rafard plants, scheduled for start-up in 2009, Cosan S.A. Bioenergia will also supply CPFL with 100 GWh over 6 months beginning in September/08. In addition, January/09 will see the first revenue from the energy sold at the 2005 auction, representing a monthly cash intake of around R$4.0 million.
       
   
§
The subsidiaries Barra Bioenergia S.A. and Cosan Centroeste S.A. Sugar e Álcool emerged victorious from the 1st Reserve Energy Auction on August 14. The Barra, Bonfim and Jataí units will build biomass cogeneration plants to produce 9,504.6 GWh over 15 years as of 2010, with a present value of around R$1.5 billion adjusted by the IPCA consumer price index.
       
   
§
On August 28, Cosan S.A. constituted the subsidiary Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. (“RADAR”), whose corporate purpose is to identify and acquire rural properties with high appreciation potential for subsequent leasing and/or sale. Over the last decade COSAN has developed a technical center specialized in evaluating the agricultural potential of rural properties. RADAR’s management will be entirely independent with its own team of dedicated professionals. Cosan will retain around 18.9% of RADAR’s capital and the remaining 81.1% will be divided among other investors. COSAN initially invested US$35 million and the other investors US$150 million, and a second investment is expected within the next two years. According to the shareholders’ agreement, executed on the same date, Cosan will retain the majority of votes on RADAR’s Board of Directors, thereby retaining control of the company. In addition, COSAN has a 10-year option to subscribe 20% of RADAR’s capital stock for the same amount as the initial capitalization.
       
   
§
On September 11, 2009, Cosan, through its bioenergy subsidiaries, also entered into other contracts for the supply of biomass electricity through bilateral agreements with Rede Comercializadora de Energia S/A, in accordance with which, the Univalem and Diamante plants will also provide approximately 3,000 GWh at a current amount of close to R$489 million, adjusted annually by the variation in the IGP-M inflationary index.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2008, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein and in our report dated June 30, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


1.
Operations

Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and subsidiaries (“Cosan”) is incorporated under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Cosan shares are traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa).

Cosan, with its principal place of business in the city of Piracicaba, São Paulo, manufactures and trades sugar and ethanol from sugarcane both from its own plantations and third parties, and co-generates electric power.

On April 23, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with ExxonMobil International Holding B.V., or “Exxon”, for the acquisition of 100% of the capital of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo Ltda. and certain affiliates, marketers and distributors of fuel and lubricants in the Brazilian retail and wholesale markets as well as aviation fuel supply. The closing of the acquisition is contingent upon completion of a transition period, during which shared services provided by Exxon from other countries will be transitioned to the Brazilian entities to be acquired and the technology platform will be transitioned to an exclusive segregated environment in Brazil. The presently negotiated purchase price is cash of US$826 million to be paid upon closing and assumption of debt amounting to US$198 million. The acquisition price is subject to revision at the end of the transition period when the transaction is closed. During the transition period, Exxon retains operational control of the entities to be acquired. We expect that the transaction will close by the end of 2008. The transition period has continued during the quarter with no impact on the financial statements.

Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

a. Basis of Reporting for Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results for the periods presented. Interim results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cosan and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements--Continued

a. Basis of Reporting for Interim Financial Statements--Continued

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Cosan`s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

The accounts of Cosan are maintained in U.S. Dollars and the accounts of its subsidiaries are maintained in Brazilian reais, which have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” using the real as the functional currency.

The exchange rate of the Brazilian real (R$) to the US$ was R$1.5666=US$ 1.00 at July 31, 2008 and R$1.6872=US$1.00 at April 30, 2008.

b. Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect recent experience.

c. Recently issued accounting standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement is effective for Cosan as of May 1, 2009.  This Statement will only impact Cosan’s financial statements in the event of a business combination on or after May 1, 2009.

Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements--Continued

c. Recently issued accounting standards--Continued

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”) which amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. This Statement is effective for Cosan as of May 1, 2009. As this statement was recently issued, Cosan is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" (Statement 161). Statement 161, which amends FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company's strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The Statement expands the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. Statement 161 is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is encouraged. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact, if any, this would have on its consolidated financial statements.

The instruments are commodity futures contracts, forward currency agreements, interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts, and option contracts. Cosan recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.

Resolution No. 2471 - Special Agricultural Financing Program (Programa Especial de Saneamento de Ativos), or PESA

To extend the repayment period of debts incurred by Brazilian agricultural producers, the Brazilian government passed Law 9.138 followed by Central Bank Resolution 2,471, which, together, formed the PESA program. PESA offered certain agricultural producers with certain types of debt the opportunity to acquire Brazilian treasury bills (“CTNs”) in an effort to restructure their agricultural debt. The face value of the Brazilian treasury bills was the equivalent of the value of the restructured debt and was for a term of 20 years.

The acquisition price was calculated by the present value, discounted at a rate of 12% per year or at the equivalent of 10.4% of its face value. The CTNs were deposited as a guarantee with a financial institution and cannot be renegotiated until the outstanding balance is paid in full. The outstanding balance associated with the principal is adjusted in accordance with the IGP-M until the expiration of the restructuring term, which is also 20 years, at which point the debt will be discharged in exchange for the CTNs. Because the CTNs will have the same face value as the outstanding balance at the end of the term, it will not be necessary to incur additional debt to pay PESA debt.

On July 31, 2003, the Central Bank issued Resolution 3,114, authorizing the reduction of up to five percentage points of PESA related interest rates, effectively lowering the above-mentioned rates to 3%, 4% and 5%, respectively. The CTNs held by Cosan as of July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008 amounted to US$128,575 and US$113,877, respectively, and classified as other non-current assets.

Senior notes due 2009

The senior notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, mature in November 2009 and bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually in May and November as from May 1, 2005. Guarantees have been provided by Cosan’s indirect subsidiary, Usina da Barra.

On October 25, 2007, Cosan advanced payment of part of the debt, reducing the amount of debt principal by US$164,192, that involved advance settlement of interest and bonus payment of US$17,294, which was recognized in financial expenses.

Senior notes due 2017

On January 26, 2007, the wholly-owned subsidiary Cosan Finance Limited issued US$400,000 of senior notes in the international capital markets. These senior notes, listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, mature in November 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, payable semi-annually. The senior notes are guaranteed by Cosan, and its subsidiary, Usina da Barra.

IFC - International Finance Corporation

On June 28, 2005, Cosan entered into a credit facility agreement in the total amount of US$70,000 with the IFC, comprising an “A loan” of US$50,000 and a “C loan” of US$20,000. The “C loan” was used on October 14, 2005 while the funds from the “A loan” were deposited and available at February 23, 2006. Under the agreement, Cosan has granted to IFC an option for the total or partial conversion of the “C loan” into common shares of Cosan in connection with its Initial Public Offering. On November 7, 2005, IFC informed Cosan of its intention to exercise the conversion option in relation to the amount of US$50,000, which was converted into 686,750 common shares on November 16, 2005.

Long-term Debt--Continued

IFC - International Finance Corporation--Continued

Interest on these loans is due on a semi-annual basis and is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, based on the LIBOR plus a spread of 3.75% per annum for “C Loan”, and on LIBOR plus a spread of 2.5% per annum for “A Loan”. The “C loan” accrues additional interest based on a formula that takes Cosan’s EBITDA into consideration. The “C loan” outstanding principal will be settled in a lump sum on January 15, 2013, and may be prepaid. The “A loan” principal will be repaid in 12 equal installments payable every six months beginning July 15, 2007. The debt is secured by the industrial facilities of “Usina Rafard”, with a carrying value of US$5,400 at July 31, 2008, and is guaranteed by the controlling shareholder and Usina da Barra, Cosan Operadora Portuária and Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A.

Cosan, together with its controlling shareholder and its subsidiaries, entered into a Shareholders Agreement with IFC, whereby tag along rights and a put option have been granted to IFC, which requires Cosan’s controlling shareholders to hold a minimum interest of 51% in Cosan’s share capital.

Perpetual notes

On January 24 and February 10, 2006, Cosan issued perpetual notes which are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange - EURO MTF. These notes bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per year, payable quarterly on May 15, August 15, November 15 and February 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2006.

These notes may, at the discretion of Cosan, be redeemed on any interest payment date subsequent to February 15, 2011. The notes are guaranteed by Cosan and by Usina da Barra.

Cosan and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictive covenants related to their indebtedness, including the following: limitation on transactions with shareholders and affiliated companies; and limitation on payment of dividends and other payments affecting subsidiaries. At July 31, 2008, Cosan was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Cosan and its subsidiaries are parties in various ongoing labor claims, civil and tax proceedings in Brazil arising in the normal course of its business. Respective provisions for contingencies were recorded considering those cases in which the likelihood of loss has been rated as probable. Management believes resolution of these disputes will have no effect significantly different than the estimated amounts accrued.

Judicial deposits recorded by Cosan under other non-current assets in the balance sheets, amounting to US$30,159 at July 31, 2008 (US$27,265 at April 30, 2008), have been made for certain of these suits. Judicial deposits are restricted assets of Cosan placed on deposit with the court and held in judicial escrow pending legal resolution of the related legal proceedings.

Tax contingencies mainly refer to suits filed by Cosan and its subsidiaries, discussing several aspects of the legislation ruling PIS, Cofins, contributions to the extinct IAA- Sugar and Ethanol Institute, and the Excise tax (IPI), as well as tax delinquency notices related to ICMS and contributions to the INSS, which as described as follows:

      417,194       364,533  

The subsidiary Usina da Barra has several indemnification suits filed against the Federal Government. The suits relate to product prices that did not conform to the reality of the market, which were mandatorily established at the time the sector was under the Government’s control.

In connection with one of these suits, a final and unappealable decision in the amount of US$149,121 was rendered in September 2006 in favor of Usina de Barra. This has been recorded as a gain in the statement of operations. Since the recorded amount is substantially composed of interest and monetary restatement, it was recorded in Financial income and in a non-current receivable on the balance sheet. In connection with the settlement process, the form of payment is being determined.

The Company is expecting to finalize the payment terms within three years which will result in the amount being received over a ten year period. The amount is subject to interest and inflation adjustment by an official index. Lawyers fees in the amount of US$18,783 relating to this suit have been recorded in General and administrative expenses in 2007.  These fees remain unpaid at July 31, 2008.

At July 31, 2008, these amounts were monetarily restated by the IPCA-E, totaling US$218,435 and US$26,212 (US$202,822 and US$24,339 at April 30, 2008), corresponding to related suit and lawyers’ fees, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the Brazilian federal jurisdiction. These subsidiaries are no longer subject to Brazilian federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2002. Additionally, Cosan has not been under a Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (IRS) income tax examination for 2003 through 2007.

Effective May 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition of tax benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides related guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Also, FIN 48 excludes income taxes from the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it was probable that the positions would be sustained. There was no retained earnings impact upon adoption of FIN 48 as no additional tax position met the recognition threshold under FIN 48.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Balance at May 1, 2008
    23,656  
Accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefit
    1,020  
Settlements
    (285 )
Effect of foreign currency translation
    2,391  
Balance at July 31, 2008
    26,782  

It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time due to the long time to reach a settlement agreement or decision with the taxing authorities.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, the SFAS 157 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs.

The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies Cosan uses to measure different financial instruments at fair value.

Marketable securities

When quoted market prices are unobservable, we use other relevant information including market interest rate curves. These investments are included in Level 2 and primarily comprise fixed-income securities, which are debt securities issued by highly rated financial institutions indexed in Reais with Inter Deposit Rates (CDI).

Derivatives
 
We use closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets.
 
The remainder of the derivatives portfolio is valued using internal models, most of which are primarily based on market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps and foreign currency swaps and commodity forward contracts.

Share-Based Compensation

In the ordinary and extraordinary general meeting held on August 30, 2005, the guidelines for the outlining and structuring of a stock option plan for Cosan officers and employees were approved, thus authorizing the issue of up to 5% of shares comprising Cosan’s share capital. This stock option plan was outlined to attract and retain services rendered by officers and key employees, offering them the opportunity to become shareholders of Cosan. On September 22, 2005, Cosan’s board of directors approved the distribution of stock options corresponding to 4,302,780 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan related to 3.25% of the share capital at the time, authorized by the annual/extraordinary meeting. The remaining 1.75% remains to be distributed. On September 22, 2005, the officers and key employees were informed regarding the key terms and conditions of the share-based compensation arrangement.

Share-Based Compensation--Continued

According to the market value on the date of issuance, the exercise price is US$3.90 (three dollars and sixty two cents) per share which does not include any discount. The exercise price was calculated before the valuation mentioned above based on an expected private equity deal which did not occur. Options may be exercised after a one-year vesting period starting November 18, 2005, at the maximum percentage of 25% per year of the total stock options offered by Cosan. The options for each 25% have a five-year period to be exercised.

On September 11, 2007, the board of directors approved an additional distribution of stock options, in connection with the stock option plan mentioned above, corresponding to 450,000 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan related to 0.24% of the share capital at September 22, 2005. The remaining 1.51% may still be distributed.

The exercise of options may be settled only through issuance of new common shares or treasury shares.

The employees that leave Cosan before the vesting period will forfeit 100% of their rights. However, if the employment is terminated by Cosan without cause, the employees will have right to exercise 100% of their options of that particular year plus the right to exercise 50% of the options of the following year.

The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using a binominal model with the following assumptions for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008:

Segment Information

a. Segment information

The following information about segments is based upon information used by Cosan’s senior management to assess the performance of operating segments and decide on the allocation of resources. Cosan’s reportable segments are business units in Brazil that target different industry segments. Each reportable segment is managed separately because of the need to specifically address customer needs in these different industries. Cosan has three segments: sugar, ethanol and others group. The operations of these segments are based solely in Brazil.

The sugar segment mainly operates and produces a broad variety of sugar products, including raw (also known as very high polarization - VHP sugar), organic, crystal and refined sugars, and sells these products to a wide range of customers in Brazil and abroad. Cosan exports the majority of the sugar produced through international commodity trading companies. Cosan’s domestic customers include wholesale distributors, food manufacturers and retail supermarkets, through which it sells its “Da Barra” branded products.

The ethanol segment substantially produces and sells fuel ethanol, both hydrous and anhydrous (which has lower water content than hydrous ethanol) and industrial ethanol. Cosan’s principal ethanol product is fuel ethanol, which is used both as an automotive fuel and as an additive in gasoline, and is mainly sold in the domestic market by fuel distribution companies. Consumption of hydrous ethanol in Brazil is increasing as a result of the introduction of flex fuel vehicles that can run on either gasoline or ethanol (or a combination of both) to the Brazilian market in 2003. In addition, Cosan sells liquid and gel ethanol products used mainly in the production of paint and cosmetics and alcoholic beverages for industrial clients in various sectors.

Segment Information--Continued

a. Segment information--Continued

The accounting policies underlying the financial information provided for the segments are based on Brazilian GAAP as Cosan is the operating subsidiary. We evaluate segment performance based on information generated from the statutory accounting records.

Others segment is comprised by selling cogeneration of electricity, diesel and corporate activities.

No asset information is provided by reportable segment due to the fact that the majority of the assets used in production of sugar an ethanol are the same.

Measurement of segment profit or loss and segment assets

Cosan evaluates performance and allocates resources based on return on capital and profitable growth. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of Cosan is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interests and taxes excluding special items such as impairment and restructuring, integration costs, one-time gains or losses on sales of assets, acquisition, and other items similar in nature). The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

On August 28, 2008, the Company announced the incorporation of a new subsidiary named Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. (“Radar”), which engages in farm real estate investments in Brazil by pinpointing rural properties likely to have a sharp increase in value, and intended for later leasing and/or sale. The initial capital contribution in this undertaking reached US$185,000, of which US$35,000 was invested by Cosan (18.9%) and US$150,000 by other shareholders (81.1%).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cosan Limited
 
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2008, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein and in our report dated June 30, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


1.
Operations

Cosan Limited (“Cosan” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company on April 30, 2007. In connection with its incorporation, Cosan Limited issued 1,000 shares of common stock for US$10.00 to Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello, who indirectly controls Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and its subsidiaries (“Cosan S.A.”).

The companies included in the consolidated financial statements have as their primary activity the production of ethanol and sugar in Brazil. They are constantly pursuing opportunities to capitalize on the growing demand for ethanol and sugar in the world. They are focused on increasing production capacity through expansion of existing facilities, development of greenfield projects and, as opportunities present themselves, acquisitions.

Cosan S.A. was the predecessor to Cosan and was the primary operating business in the consolidated group prior to a reorganization in August, 2007. In contemplation of an initial public offering on August 1, 2007, Aguassanta Participações S.A. and Usina Costa Pinto S.A. Açúcar e Álcool, controlling shareholders of Cosan S.A. and both indirectly controlled by Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello, the controlling shareholder, contributed their common shares of Cosan S.A. to Cosan in exchange for 96,332,044 of our class B1 common shares. The common shares contributed to the Company by Aguassanta Participações S.A. and Usina Costa Pinto S.A. Açúcar e Álcool consisted of 96,332,044 common shares of Cosan, representing 51.0% of Cosan S.A. outstanding common shares. As a result of this reorganization Cosan Ltd. became the controlling shareholder of Cosan S.A.

The reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of companies under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interest. The transferred equity interests of Cosan S.A. have been recognized at the carrying amounts in the accounts of Cosan Limited at the date of transfer. The financial statements of Cosan Limited for the three-month period ended July 31, 2007, reflect the results of operations of the entities as though the transfer of equity occurred at the beginning of the period. Additionaly, the financial statements for three-month period ended July 31, 2007 have been restated to reflect the combination of entities under common control to furnish comparative information. Earnings per share has been computed assuming the shares issued in connection with the formation of Cosan Limited, and the shares of Cosan S.A. contributed into Cosan Limited and exchanged for Cosan S.A. shares have been outstanding from the beginning of the earliest year presented.

Operations--Continued

On August 17, 2007, the Company concluded its global offering of 111,678,000 class A common shares which resulted in gross proceeds in the amount of US$1,171,027. As a result of the global offering, Cosan’s shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) by BDR (Brazilian Depositary Receipts).

The costs directly attributable to the offering were charged against the gross proceeds of the offering in a total amount of US$52,594. Therefore the net proceeds related to the IPO totaled US$1,118,433.

On April 23, 2008, Cosan S.A. entered into an agreement with ExxonMobil International Holding B.V., or “Exxon”, for the acquisition of 100% of the capital of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo Ltda. and certain affiliates, marketers and distributors of fuel and lubricants in the Brazilian retail and wholesale markets as well as aviation fuel supply. The closing of the acquisition is contingent upon completion of a transition period, during which shared services provided by Exxon from other countries will be transitioned to the Brazilian entities to be acquired and the technology platform will be transitioned to an exclusive segregated environment in Brazil. The presently negotiated purchase price is cash of US$826 million to be paid upon closing and assumption of debt amounting to US$198 million. The acquisition price is subject to revision at the end of the transition period when the transaction is closed. During the transition period, Exxon retains operational control of the entities to be acquired. We expect that the transaction will close by the end of 2008. The transition period has continued during the quarter with no impact on the financial statements.

On July 17, 2008 the Company held a Board Director’s Meeting and approved the modification of the end of fiscal year from April 30 to March 31 of each year.

Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

a. Basis of Reporting for Interim Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results for the periods presented. Interim results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year.

2.
Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements--Continued

a. Basis of Reporting for Interim Financial Statements--Continued

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cosan Limited and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Cosan`s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

The accounts of Cosan are maintained in U.S. Dollars and the accounts of its subsidiaries are maintained in Brazilian reais, which have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” using the real as the functional currency.

The exchange rate of the Brazilian real (R$) to the US$ was R$1.5666=US$ 1.00 at July 31, 2008 and R$1.6872=US$1.00 at April 30, 2008.

b. Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect recent experience.

c. Recently issued accounting standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement is effective for Cosan as of May 1, 2009.  This Statement will only impact Cosan’s financial statements in the event of a business combination on or after May 1, 2009.

c. Recently issued accounting standards--Continued

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”) which amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this Statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. This Statement is effective for Cosan as of May 1, 2009. As this statement was recently issued, Cosan is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" (Statement 161). Statement 161, which amends FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company's strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The Statement expands the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. Statement 161 is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is encouraged. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact, if any, this would have on its consolidated financial statements.

Resolution No. 2471 - Special Agricultural Financing Program (Programa Especial de Saneamento de Ativos), or PESA

To extend the repayment period of debts incurred by Brazilian agricultural producers, the Brazilian government passed Law 9.138 followed by Central Bank Resolution 2,471, which, together, formed the PESA program. PESA offered certain agricultural producers with certain types of debt the opportunity to acquire Brazilian treasury bills (“CTNs”) in an effort to restructure their agricultural debt. The face value of the Brazilian treasury bills was the equivalent of the value of the restructured debt and was for a term of 20 years.

The acquisition price was calculated by the present value, discounted at a rate of 12% per year or at the equivalent of 10.4% of its face value. The CTNs were deposited as a guarantee with a financial institution and cannot be renegotiated until the outstanding balance is paid in full. The outstanding balance associated with the principal is adjusted in accordance with the IGP-M until the expiration of the restructuring term, which is also 20 years, at which point the debt will be discharged in exchange for the CTNs. Because the CTNs will have the same face value as the outstanding balance at the end of the term, it will not be necessary to incur additional debt to pay PESA debt.

On July 31, 2003, the Central Bank issued Resolution 3,114, authorizing the reduction of up to five percentage points of PESA related interest rates, effectively lowering the above-mentioned rates to 3%, 4% and 5%, respectively. The CTNs held by Cosan as of July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008 amounted to US$128,575 and US$113,877, respectively, and classified as other non-current assets.

IFC - International Finance Corporation

On June 28, 2005, Cosan S.A. entered into a credit facility agreement in the total amount of US$70,000 with the IFC, comprising an “A loan” of US$50,000 and a “C loan” of US$20,000. The “C loan” was used on October 14, 2005 while the funds from the “A loan” were deposited and available at February 23, 2006. Under the agreement, Cosan S.A. has granted to IFC an option for the total or partial conversion of the “C loan” into common shares of Cosan in connection with its Initial Public Offering. On November 7, 2005, IFC informed Cosan S.A. of its intention to exercise the conversion option in relation to the amount of US$5,000, which was converted into 686,750 common shares on November 16, 2005.

IFC - International Finance Corporation--Continued

Interest on these loans is due on a semi-annual basis and is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, based on the LIBOR plus a spread of 3.75% per annum for “C Loan”, and on LIBOR plus a spread of 2.5% per annum for “A Loan”. The “C loan” accrues additional interest based on a formula that takes Cosan S.A.’s EBITDA into consideration. The “C loan” outstanding principal will be settled in a lump sum on January 15, 2013, and may be prepaid. The “A loan” principal will be repaid in 12 equal installments payable every six months beginning July 15, 2007. The debt is secured by the industrial facilities of “Usina Rafard”, with a carrying value of US$5,400 at April 30, 2008, and is guaranteed by the controlling shareholder and Usina da Barra, Cosan Operadora Portuária and Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A.

Cosan S.A., together with its controlling shareholder and its subsidiaries, entered into a Shareholders Agreement with IFC, whereby tag along rights and a put option have been granted to IFC, which requires Cosan S.A.’s controlling shareholders to hold a minimum interest of 51% in Cosan’s share capital.

Perpetual notes

On January 24 and February 10, 2006, Cosan S.A. issued perpetual notes which are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange - EURO MTF. These notes bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per year, payable quarterly on May 15, August 15, November 15 and February 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2006.

These notes may, at the discretion of Cosan, be redeemed on any interest payment date subsequent to February 15, 2011. The notes are guaranteed by Cosan S.A. and by Usina da Barra.

Cosan S.A. and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictive covenants related to their indebtedness, including the following: limitation on transactions with shareholders and affiliated companies; and limitation on payment of dividends and other payments affecting subsidiaries. At July 31, 2008, Cosan S.A. was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Cosan and its subsidiaries are parties in various ongoing labor claims, civil and tax proceedings in Brazil arising in the normal course of its business. Respective provisions for contingencies were recorded considering those cases in which the likelihood of loss has been rated as probable. Management believes resolution of these disputes will have no effect significantly different than the estimated amounts accrued.

Judicial deposits recorded by Cosan under other non-current assets in the balance sheets, amounting to US$30,159 at July 31, 2008 (US$27,265 at April 30, 2008), have been made for certain of these suits. Judicial deposits are restricted assets of Cosan placed on deposit with the court and held in judicial escrow pending legal resolution of the related legal proceedings.

Tax contingencies mainly refer to suits filed by Cosan S.A. and its subsidiaries, discussing several aspects of the legislation ruling PIS, Cofins, contributions to the extinct IAA- Sugar and Ethanol Institute, and the Excise tax (IPI), as well as tax delinquency notices related to ICMS and contributions to the INSS, which as described as follows:

      417,194       364,533  

The subsidiary Usina da Barra has several indemnification suits filed against the Federal Government. The suits relate to product prices that did not conform to the reality of the market, which were mandatorily established at the time the sector was under the Government’s control.

In connection with one of these suits, a final and unappealable decision in the amount of US$149,121 was rendered in September 2006 in favor of Usina de Barra. This has been recorded as a gain in the statement of operations. Since the recorded amount is substantially composed of interest and monetary restatement, it was recorded in Financial income and in a non-current receivable on the balance sheet. In connection with the settlement process, the form of payment is being determined.

The Company is expecting to finalize the payment terms within three years which will result in the amount being received over a ten year period. The amount is subject to interest and inflation adjustment by an official index. Lawyers fees in the amount of US$18,783 relating to this suit have been recorded in General and administrative expenses in 2007.  These fees remain unpaid at July 31, 2008.

At July 31, 2008, these amounts were monetarily restated by the IPCA-E, totaling US$218,435 and US$26,212 (US$202,822 and US$24,339 at April 30, 2008), corresponding to related suit and lawyers’ fees, respectively.

Income Taxes

As mentioned in note 1, the Company is an exempted company located in Bermuda. Nevertheless, the Company’s subsidiaries located in Brazil file income tax returns in the Brazilian federal jurisdiction. These subsidiaries are no longer subject to Brazilian federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2002. Additionally, Cosan S.A. has not been under a Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (IRS) income tax examination for 2003 through 2007.

 Effective May 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and prescribes a threshold of more-likely-than-not for recognition of tax benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides related guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Also, FIN 48 excludes income taxes from the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

 Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it was probable that the positions would be sustained. There was no retained earnings impact upon adoption of FIN 48 as no additional tax position met the recognition threshold under FIN 48.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Balance at May 1, 2008
    23,656  
Accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefit
    1,020  
Settlements
    (285 )
Effect of foreign currency translation
    2,391  
Balance at July 31, 2008
    26,782  

It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time due to the long time to reach a settlement agreement or decision with the taxing authorities.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, the SFAS 157 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs.

The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies Cosan uses to measure different financial instruments at fair value.
 
Marketable securities
 
When quoted market prices are unobservable, we use other relevant information including market interest rate curves. These investments are included in Level 2 and primarily comprise fixed-income securities, which are debt securities issued by highly rated financial institutions indexed in Reais with Inter Deposit Rates (CDI) and investments founds which are indexed in U.S. dollars with international prime banks, remunerated at an average rate of 2.6% p.a..

Derivatives
 
We use closing prices for derivatives included in Level 1, which are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets.
 
The remainder of the derivatives portfolio is valued using internal models, most of which are primarily based on market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent interest rate swaps and foreign currency swaps and commodity forward contracts.

Share-Based Compensation

In the ordinary and extraordinary general meeting held on August 30, 2005, the guidelines for the outlining and structuring of a stock option plan for Cosan S.A. officers and employees were approved, thus authorizing the issue of up to 5% of shares comprising Cosan S.A.’s share capital. This stock option plan was outlined to attract and retain services rendered by officers and key employees, offering them the opportunity to become shareholders of Cosan S.A. On September 22, 2005, Cosan S.A.’s board of directors approved the distribution of stock options corresponding to 4,302,780 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan S.A. related to 3.25% of the share capital at the time, authorized by the annual/extraordinary meeting. The remaining 1.75% remains to be distributed. On September 22, 2005, the officers and key employees were informed regarding the key terms and conditions of the share-based compensation arrangement.

Share-Based Compensation--Continued

According to the market value on the date of issuance, the exercise price is US$3.90 (three dollars and sixty two cents) per share which does not include any discount. The exercise price was calculated before the valuation mentioned above based on an expected private equity deal which did not occur. Options may be exercised after a one-year vesting period starting November 18, 2005, at the maximum percentage of 25% per year of the total stock options offered by Cosan S.A. The options for each 25% have a five-year period to be exercised.

On September 11, 2007, the board of directors approved an additional distribution of stock options, in connection with the stock option plan mentioned above, corresponding to 450,000 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan S.A. related to 0.24% of the share capital at September 22, 2005. The remaining 1.51% may still be distributed.

The exercise of options may be settled only through issuance of new common shares or treasury shares.

The employees that leave Cosan S.A. before the vesting period will forfeit 100% of their rights. However, if the employment is terminated by Cosan S.A. without cause, the employees will have right to exercise 100% of their options of that particular year plus the right to exercise 50% of the options of the following year.

The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using a binominal model with the following assumptions for the three-month period ended July 31, 2008:

Segment Information

a. Segment information

The following information about segments is based upon information used by Cosan’s senior management to assess the performance of operating segments and decide on the allocation of resources. Cosan’s reportable segments are business units in Brazil that target different industry segments. Each reportable segment is managed separately because of the need to specifically address customer needs in these different industries. Cosan has three segments: sugar, ethanol and others group. The operations of these segments are based solely in Brazil.

The sugar segment mainly operates and produces a broad variety of sugar products, including raw (also known as very high polarization - VHP sugar), organic, crystal and refined sugars, and sells these products to a wide range of customers in Brazil and abroad. Cosan exports the majority of the sugar produced through international commodity trading companies. Cosan’s domestic customers include wholesale distributors, food manufacturers and retail supermarkets, through which it sells its “Da Barra” branded products.

The ethanol segment substantially produces and sells fuel ethanol, both hydrous and anhydrous (which has lower water content than hydrous ethanol) and industrial ethanol. Cosan’s principal ethanol product is fuel ethanol, which is used both as an automotive fuel and as an additive in gasoline, and is mainly sold in the domestic market by fuel distribution companies. Consumption of hydrous ethanol in Brazil is increasing as a result of the introduction of flex fuel vehicles that can run on either gasoline or ethanol (or a combination of both) to the Brazilian market in 2003. In addition, Cosan sells liquid and gel ethanol products used mainly in the production of paint and cosmetics and alcoholic beverages for industrial clients in various sectors.

Segment Information--Continued

a. Segment information--Continued

The accounting policies underlying the financial information provided for the segments are based on Brazilian GAAP as Cosan S.A. is the operating subsidiary. We evaluate segment performance based on information generated from the statutory accounting records.

Others segment is comprised by selling cogeneration of electricity, diesel and corporate activities.

No asset information is provided by reportable segment due to the fact that the majority of the assets used in production of sugar an ethanol are the same.

Measurement of segment profit or loss and segment assets

Cosan S.A. evaluates performance and allocates resources based on return on capital and profitable growth. The primary measurement used by management to measure the financial performance of Cosan S.A. is adjusted EBIT (earnings before interests and taxes excluding special items such as impairment and restructuring, integration costs, one-time gains or losses on sales of assets, acquisition, and other items similar in nature). The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio


1.
We have performed a special review of the accompanying Quarterly Financial Information of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio (parent company and consolidated) for the quarter ended July 31, 2008, including the balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows, report on the Company’s performance and explanatory notes, prepared under the management’s responsibility.

2.
Our review was conducted in accordance with the specific procedures determined by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (IBRACON) and the Federal Board of Accountancy (CFC), which comprised principally: (a) inquiries of and discussions with the management responsible for the Company’s accounting, financial and operational areas about the criteria adopted for the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information; and (b) review of information and subsequent events which have, or could have, significant effects on the Company’s operations and financial position.

3.
Based on our special review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the Quarterly Financial Information referred to above for it to comply with specific standards established by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information, including CVM Ruling No. 469/08.

 
1

 


4.
As mentioned in Note 2, Law No. 11638 enacted on December 28, 2007 became effective on January 1, 2008. This Law has modified, revoked and introduced new rules to Law No. 6404/76 (Corporation Law), which resulted in changes in accounting practices adopted in Brazil. While such law has already taken effect, some changes depend on standards to be set by regulators so that they can be applied by companies. Accordingly, in this transition phase, CVM Ruling No. 469/08 allowed non-application of the provisions of Law No. 11638/07 for preparation of Quarterly Financial Information (ITR). As a consequence, the accounting information contained in the Quarterly Financial Information (ITR) for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 was prepared in accordance with specific CVM rulings and do not reflect all the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law No. 11638/07. As described in Note 2, the application of supplementary CVM rulings on the adoption of Law No. 11638/07 did not significantly affect the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 or for any other prior periods presented.

5.
The balance sheets as of April 30, 2008 and notes thereto, presented for comparative purposes, were examined by us, and our unqualified opinion was issued on June 6, 2008. The statements of operations and cash flows and notes thereto for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, presented for comparative purposes, were reviewed by us, and our special review report issued on September 10, 2007 did not contain any qualification.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008
(In thousands of reais)


1.
Operations

The primary activity of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Company” or “Cosan”), with principal place of business in the city of Piracicaba, São Paulo, and its subsidiaries is the manufacturing and trading of sugar, ethanol and co-generation of electricity from sugarcane both of their own plantations and third parties. The Company has 18 producing units, all located in the São Paulo State, with a nominal capacity of milling 45 million tons of sugarcane per year, producing varied qualities of raw and refined sugar, anhydrous and hydrated ethanol. The Company activities are still linked with those of its subsidiary Cosan Operadora Portuária S.A. and affiliate TEAS - Terminal Exportador de Álcool de Santos S.A., which consist mainly in the logistic support to export of sugar and ethanol by the Company.

As disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2008, Cosan executed a share purchase and sale agreement on April 23, 2008 with Exxon Mobil International Holdings BV, in order to acquire 100% of shares of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo Ltda. (“Esso”). The completion of such operation will depend on complying with certain clauses of the referred to agreement at the end of the transition period. During the quarter ended July 31, 2008 and to the present date, the transition process had no significant changes, thus without any impact on this quarterly information. Whereas Esso is still independently managed, with no kind of involvement of the Cosan Group, the majority shareholding will be actually held only at the end of the transition period.


2.
Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements

The quarterly information is the responsibility of the Company’s management and was prepared according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, to the standards of the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and to the rules of the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) applicable to companies operating in the so-called “Novo Mercado”, not including all disclosures usually necessary in annual financial statements or those required by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for complete financial statements.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION--Continued
July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008
 (In thousands of reais)


2.
Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements--Continued

The preparation of quarterly information involves the use of accounting estimates. Such estimates were based on objective and subjective aspects considering management’s judgment to determine the adequate amount to be recorded in the quarterly information. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include the selection of useful lives of fixed assets and their recovery in operations, risk credit analysis to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts, and the analyses of other risks to determine other provisions, including the provision for contingencies, and the valuation of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

Actual results may significantly differ from these estimates once the underlying transactions are settled due to the underlying inaccuracy of the determination process. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions at least on a quarterly basis.

Assets and liabilities are classified as current when these items are likely to be settled or realized within 12 months, or otherwise classified as noncurrent. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were translated into reais at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recognized in the statements of income. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries were translated into reais at the foreign exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date and the results of operations were translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

On January 29, 2008, the CVM issued Resolution No. 534 to approve Technical Pronouncement CPC 02, effective for years ended on or after December 2008.

The objective of this pronouncement is to determine how to include foreign currency transactions and foreign transactions in the financial statements of an entity in Brazil and how to translate them from foreign entity into the reporting currency of the financial statements in Brazil for recording equity pickup, full or proportional consolidation, as well as how to translate the financial statements of an entity in Brazil into another currency. CPC 02 also introduces the concept of functional currency, a concept not previously observed in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Changes in preparation and reporting of financial statements

On December 28, 2007, Law No. 11638 (the “Law”) was approved by the President of Brazil. This law makes amendments and revokes provisions of Brazil’s Corporation Law. These changes introduced by such law are primarily aimed towards full convergence between accounting practices adopted in Brazil and international financial reporting standards (IFRS).

On May 2, 2008, the CVM issued Ruling No. 469 (“Ruling”) which partially disciplined the Law, establishing minimum requirements to be followed for presentation of quarterly financial statements. This Ruling, under certain conditions, made it optional to fully adopt the provisions of the Law. Company management did not opt for this alternative, and accordingly, adopted the Law in accordance with the provisions required by such Ruling for presenting its quarterly information.

Changes in preparation and reporting of financial statements--Continued

Among significant changes to the accounting standards, we single out below only those which, in a preliminary analysis by Company management, may affect the financial statements of the Company and of its subsidiaries:

·
Compensation based on executive and employee stock purchase options. The Company disclosed in Note 21, the terms of its Stock Purchase Option Plan and possible accounting effects existing as of the date of the quarterly information;

·
The concept of discount to present value is now applied to long-term assets and liabilities, as well as to short-term assets and liabilities having a significant effect on financial reporting. The Company did not identify any operations that could have significant effects on the quarterly information for the periods reported as far as discount to present value is concerned;

·
The balances of the revaluation reserve, as determined by CVM Ruling No. 469, may be maintained through their effective realization date or reversed. The Company will disclose its option as to the referred to alternatives up until the presentation of the quarterly information for the 2nd quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009;

·
Requirements that investments in financial instruments, including derivatives, should be recorded: (i) at their market or equivalent value, whenever it involves investments for trading or available to sale; and (ii) at the acquisition cost or issue value, updated in accordance with the legal or contractual provisions, adjusted to the probable realizable value, whenever it is lower. The Company and its subsidiaries will apply these changes when a specific standard is issued on the matter. At present, for disclosure purposes only, the Company records its derivative financial instruments at market, as set out in Note 19; and,

·
Inclusion of the Statement of Value Added (SVA) in the set of financial statements.  Company management will present this statement when preparing its annual financial statements as of March 31, 2009.

Changes in preparation and reporting of financial statements--Continued

Given that these changes have recently taken effect and that some of these changes depend on standards to be set by regulators so that they can be fully applied, Company management is still assessing all the effects that such changes might have on its quarterly information and results for the periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Practices

The accounting practices adopted to prepare the quarterly financial information are consistent with those reported in the financial statements as of April 30, 2008, other than the provisions introduced in quarterly financial information by CVM Ruling No. 469/08.

Tax Recovery Program - REFIS

In 2000, several subsidiaries applied to pay their tax payables in installments based on the Tax Recovery Program - REFIS, approved by Law No. 9964, of April 10, 2000. Therefore, the companies voluntarily informed the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service - SRF and the National Institute of Social Security - INSS of their tax and social contribution obligations. Property, plant and equipment of the companies were offered as security in the debt consolidation process.

Under the REFIS, tax payments are made based on 1.2% of the taxpayer’s monthly gross revenue. The remaining balance is monetarily adjusted based on the TJLP variation.

Resolution No. 2471

From 1998 to 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries renegotiated their debt related to agricultural funding with several financial institutions, thereby reducing their financial cost to annual interest rates below 10% and guaranteeing the amortization of the updated principal amount with the assignment and transfer of CTNs - Restricted Brazilian Treasury Bills redeemable on the debt maturity dates, using the tax incentive introduced by Resolution No. 2471, issued by the Central Bank of Brazil on February 26, 1998. On July 31, 2008, these certificates, classified as noncurrent assets, amounted to R$25,348 (R$23,362 at April 30, 2008), at the Company and R$164,811 (R$151,687 at April 30, 2008) at consolidated. Payments pursuant to such certificates are calculated based on the IGP-M variation plus annual interest of 12%. Upon payment of the debt, the redemption value should be similar to the amount of the renegotiated debt. Interest referring to these financings is paid annually and principal is to be entirely settled in 2020 at the Company, and 2025 at consolidated.

On October 18, 2004, the Company issued Senior Notes in the international capital markets under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, in the amount of US$200 million. These Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually in May and November of each year.

On October 25, 2007, Company advanced payment of part of this debt, reducing the amount of debt principal by R$293,151, equivalent to US$164,192 thousand, of which R$5,718, equivalent to US$3,301 thousand, was settled on November 8, 2007. This operation also involved advance settlement of interest and bonus payment in the total amount of R$31,353, which was recognized in financial income (expenses), net for the year ended at April 30, 2008. Due to the advance payment, certain restrictive covenants are not due.

The remaining debt balance, including swap, at July 31, 2008 is R$63,763 (April 30, 2008, is R$69,228).

Loans and Financing--Continued

IFC – International Finance Corporation

On June 28, 2005, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement (“Agreement”) in the total amount of US$70 million with the IFC, comprising an “A loan” of US$50 million and a “C loan” of US$20 million. The “C loan” was withdrawn on October 14, 2005 while the funds from the “A loan” were released on February 23, 2006. Under the Agreement, the Company granted to IFC an option for the total or partial conversion of the “C loan” into common shares of the Company. On November 7, 2005, IFC informed the Company of its intention to exercise the conversion option in relation to the original portion in the amount of US$5,000 (which on November 16, 2005 totaled R$10,980), which was converted into 228,750 common shares in connection with the public offering in November 2005.

Interest payments accrued on these loans are due on a semi-annual basis and are payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, based on the LIBOR plus a spread of 3.75% per annum for “C Loan”, and on LIBOR plus a spread of 2.5% per annum for “A Loan”. The “C loan” accrues additional interest based on a formula that takes the Company’s EBITDA into consideration. The “C loan” outstanding principal will be settled in a lump sum on January 15, 2013, and may be prepaid. The “A loan” principal will be repaid in 12 installments payable every six months beginning July 15, 2007. Loans are secured by the industrial facilities under “Usina Rafard”, and guaranteed by the controlling shareholder and Usina da Barra, Cosan Operadora Portuária and Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A.

The Company, together with its controlling shareholder and its subsidiaries, entered into an Shareholders Agreement with IFC, whereby tag along right and a put option have been granted to IFC, which requires the Company’s controlling shareholders to hold a minimum interest of 51% in the Company’s capital.

Perpetual Notes

On January 24 and February 10, 2006, the Company issued perpetual notes in the international market in accordance with Regulations S and Rule 144A, in the amount of US$450 million for qualified institutional investors. Perpetual notes are listed in the Luxemburg Stock Exchange - EURO MTF and bear interest of 8.25% per year, payable quarterly on the 15th of May, August, November and February of each year, beginning May 15, 2006. These notes may, at the discretion of the Company, be redeemed as from February 15, 2011 on any interest payment date, for their face value. Perpetual notes are secured by the Company and Usina da Barra.

Restrictive Covenants in the Loan and Financing Agreements

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain covenants under loan and financing agreements, among which the following are:

·
restriction on transactions with shareholders and affiliate companies;
·
restriction on payment of dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries;
 
·
restriction on guarantees granted on assets.
 
All restrictive covenants have been fully met by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Expenses with issue of Notes

Expenses incurred with the issuance of Senior (2009 and 2017) and Perpetual Notes are recorded as other assets, in current and noncurrent assets, respectively, and amortized up to the respective maturity date of the notes. Specifically for Perpetual Notes, amortization is calculated through their redemption date, namely February 15, 2011, at the Company’s option.

Because of the advanced payment of Senior Notes due in 2009, mentioned in item a) above, the amount of R$5,591 was reversed to the income (loss), for the year ended at April 30, 2008, as Financial income (expenses), net. The reversal amount represented the amount of expenses in proportion to the settlement of the corresponding debt on October 25, 2007.

IPI Premium Credit - BEFIEX

The subsidiary Usina da Barra has been challenging in court tax credits previously unused of approximately R$297,865 (R$294,679 at April 30, 2008), related to IPI premium credit (Decree Law No. 491, dated March 5, 1969), levied on exports made under the Special Export Program – BEFIEX, calculated for the period from May 1992 to December 2006. The subsidiary’s legal advisors believe that there are good chances of a favorable outcome in this case. These credits were neither recorded by the Company nor used to offset against other tax liabilities.

Contingent credits-Continued

ii)
Accounts receivable from Federal Government

The subsidiary Usina da Barra has several indemnification suits filed against the Federal Government, since, at the time the sector was under the Government’s control, the product prices were mandatorily established at levels that did not conform to the reality of the sector.

The indemnification suits are still being challenged in court and, as such, were not recorded in the subsidiary’s financial statements as of April 30, 2007. However, on February 28, 2007, the subsidiary recognized a gain in the statement of operations for the period, in the amount of R$318,358, corresponding to one of the above-mentioned suits, for which a final and unappealable decision was rendered in favor of subsidiary. Since the recorded amount is substantially composed of interest and monetary restatement, it was recognized under Financial income (expenses), net, against the Accounts receivable from Federal Government, under noncurrent assets. The Company is expecting a final decision regarding the form of payment, which should take place by means of securities issued in connection with public debts, to be received in 10 years, after the final decision is handed down for the enforcement proceeding. The Company, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, estimates that the discussion on the enforcement proceeding will be concluded in three years. The amounts are likely to be monetarily restated by the inflation rate IPCA-E. The lawyers’ fees referring to this suit was recognized in General and administrative expenses, in the amount of R$38,203, against the account Other liabilities, under noncurrent liabilities.

At July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, these amounts totaled R$342,201 and R$41,064, corresponding to related suit and lawyers’ fees, respectively.

Financial Instruments

a)
Risk management

The volatility in the price of commodities and foreign exchange rates are the main market risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed. The Company carries out operations involving financial instruments with a view to managing such risks.

These risks and related instruments are managed through the definition of strategies, establishment of control systems and determination of foreign exchange, interest rate and price change limits.

The financial instruments are contracted for hedging purposes only.

b)
Price risk

The Company carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to sugar price variations in the foreign market. Such transactions assure an average minimum income for future production. The Company actively manages the positions contracted and relevant results of such activity are continually monitored, so as to allow that adjustments be made to goals and strategies considering changes in market conditions. The Company operates mainly in futures and options markets on the NYBOT (New York Board of Trade) and the LIFFE (London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange).

At July 31, 2008 the Company had 2,099,017 tons of sugar (2,304,191 tons at April 30, 2008), hedged by negotiations with financial instruments, with a negative adjustment to market value for R$110,356 (R$47,146 negative at April 30, 2008), not accounted for.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to foreign exchange rate variations on exports. Transactions with derivatives combined with commodity price derivatives assure an average minimum income for future production. The Company actively manages the positions contracted and relevant results of such activity are continually monitored, so as to allow that adjustments be made to goals and strategies considering changes in market conditions. The Company operates mainly in the over-the-counter segment with leading institutions.

At July 31, 2008 the Company had US$513,767 thousand (US$711,560 thousand at April 30, 2008) hedged by negotiations with financial instruments whose positive adjustment for determination of market value would be R$102,358 (R$53,076 at April 30, 2008), not accounted for.

Additionally, the Company has a currency and interest rate swap contract at the total nominal amount of US$90,300 thousand, R$257,671 as of the contract date. Out of this total, the amount of US$63,300 thousand (R$131,734) was incurred and paid through July 31, 2008 (US$54,300 thousand (R$116,382) through April 30, 2008). The financial result arising from this transaction is recognized on a pro rata basis in the net income (loss) for the year, under Financial income (expenses), net. For the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded loss from these swap transactions in the amount of R$6,181 and R$4,903, respectively. The market value of this swap at July 31, 2008 is negative by R$45,368 (negative by R$45,696 at April 30, 2008).

d)
Interest rate risk

The Company monitors fluctuations of the several interest rates to which its assets and liabilities are pegged and, in the event of increased volatility of such rates, it may engage in transactions with derivatives so as to minimize such risks. At July 31, 2008, the Company was not in possession of any interest rate derivative contracts, except for the swap agreement referred to in item c) Foreign exchange risk.

e)
Credit risk

A significant portion of sales made is by the Company and its subsidiaries to a selected group of best-in-class counterparts, i.e. trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains. Credit risk is managed through specific rules of client acceptance, credit rating and setting of limits for customer exposure, including the requirement of a letter of credit from major banks.  The Company and its subsidiaries historically have not recorded material losses on trade accounts receivable.

Debt acceleration risk

As of July 31, 2008, the Company was a party to loan and financing agreements with covenants generally applicable to these operations, including requirements related to cash generation, debt to equity ratio and others.  These covenants are being fully complied with by the Company and do not place any restrictions on its operations.

g)
Market values

As of July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, the fair values of cash, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable and payable approximate the respective amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements, due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of the Senior Notes maturing in 2017, as described in Note 14, according to their market value, was 93.50% of their face value at July 31, 2008.

The fair value of Perpetual Notes as described in Note 14, according to its market value, was 90.10% of its face value at July 31, 2008.

As for the other loan and financing arrangements, their respective fair values substantially approximate the amounts recorded in the financial statements considering that such instruments are subject to variable interest rates.
 
20.
Insurance (Not reviewed by the independent auditors)

At July 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain insurance coverage against fire, thunderbolts and explosions of any nature for the whole sugar and ethanol inventory and for buildings, equipment and installations at plants.

On that same date, the eligible officer was informed of the material terms and conditions of the share-based compensation agreement. The remaining 1.51% may still be distributed.

Based on the fair value at the issue date, exercise price is R$6.11 (six reais and eleven cents) per share, without discount. The exercise price was calculated before the above evaluation based on an expected private equity agreement based on that eventually was not made. The options are exercisable over a 3-year period, considering a maximum percentage of 25% p.a. of total stock options offered by the Company, within a period of 5 years.

Stock Option Plan--Continued

The options exercised shall be settled only upon issue of new common or treasury shares that the Company may have at each relevant date

Should any holder of stock options cease to be an employee or manager of the Company, by death, retirement or permanent disability of the beneficiary, any options not previously vesting shall become extinct on the date that employee or officer separates from the Company. However, in the case of termination without good cause, the terminated employees shall be entitled to exercise 100% of their options referring to that particular year, on top of exercising 50% of their options in the coming year.

Stock option activity as of July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008 is 2,373,341 common shares.

All exercised stock options had been settled with issue of new common shares up to July 31, 2008. Should the remaining options be also exercised with issue of new common shares, present shareholders would have their shareholding interest reduced by 0.8633% after the exercise of all remaining options, without any effect on the Company results.

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil do not require the recognition of expenses on compensation through stock option plan. Had the Company recorded in P&L such expenses based on the amount estimated on a binomial model, net loss and income for the quarters ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 would increase by R$4,431 and R$3,131, respectively. Under this accounting hypothesis, at July 31, 2008 it would be expected that R$19,854 consisting of the unrecognized compensation cost of stock option plan was recognized within two years (R$25,940 at July 31, 2007 over a two-year term). The Company does not have treasury stock.

Stock Option Plan--Continued

The fair value of the options granted under the stock option plan was estimated from the binominal model, with the following assumptions:

Weighted average fair value at grant date – R$

Expected Term - Cosan’s expected term represents the period that Cosan’s share-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the assumption that the officers will exercise their options when the exercise period is over. Therefore, this term was calculated based on the average of 5 and 10 years. Cosan does not expect any forfeiture as those options are mainly for officers, for whom turnover is low.

Expected Volatility – The Company has opted to substitute the historical volatility by an appropriate global industry sector index, based on the volatility of the share prices, and considering it as an assumption in its valuation model. Cosan has identified and compared similar public entities for which share or option price information is available to consider the historical, expected, or implied volatility of those entities’ share prices in estimating expected volatility based on global scenarios.

Expected Dividends – As the Company is newly public entity, the expected dividend yield was calculated based on the current value of the stock market at grant date, adjusted by the average rate of the return to shareholders for the expected term, in relation of future book value of the shares.

Risk-Free Interest Rate – The Company considers the SELIC (Special System Settlement Custody) rate.

Quarterly Financial Letter
     
   
1st Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009 – May, June and July
 
 
   
As expected, a difficult beginning of harvest
       
   
§
This section provides a summary of the quarterly performance of Cosan Ltd. (NYSE: CZZ), the parent company of the Cosan Group. The financial information in this section is therefore expressed in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For comparative purposes, the figures for the period prior to the constitution of Cosan Ltd were prepared on a pro-forma basis based on those of Cosan S.A. as if Cosan Ltd. had existed before the date of its constitution. More information on the financial statements of Cosan Ltd. is provided at the end of the section.
       
 
§
For Cosan, the FY’09 began with accelerated production, a product mix favoring ethanol and a policy of stockpiling. As a result, ethanol sales volume totaled 89.4 million gallons in the 1Q’09, 42.1% up year-on-year, while sugar volume, thanks to the build-up of stocks, recorded a slight decline of 4.9% to 791,700 tonnes.
       
ri@cosan.com.br
www.cosan.com.br
 
§
The increase in international sugar prices and the impact of the appreciation of the Real against the dollar on domestic sales converted to dollars pushed up average sugar prices by 19.7% year-on-year to ¢US$12.44/lb, while average ethanol prices moved up by 23.7% to US$1.66 per gallon.
       
   
§
As a result, net operating revenue moved up by a hefty 30.8% year-on-year to US$394.0 million. However, the same exchange effect that fueled the increase in domestic sales revenue converted to dollars, also pushed up costs and expenses originally denominated in Reais. Production costs were also negatively impacted by the reduction in yield measured by the TSR, which fell by 5.7% over the 1Q’08.
       
   
§
Consequently, Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with EBITDA of US$14.6 million and an EBITDA margin of 3.7%, 43.3% down year-on-year. On the other hand, the exchange impact on dollar-denominated debt generated financial revenue, which helped absorb part of the depreciation of assets.

REPORT ON COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE (CONSOLIDATED)--Continued

 
   
§
With a negative pre-tax result, Cosan S.A. recorded revenue from income tax in Brazil, due to the constitution of tax loss carryforwards. Thanks to the share of Cosan S.A.’s minority interests in its net loss, Cosan Ltd. posted a 1Q’09 net loss of US$29.3 million, versus net income of US$1.2 million in the 1Q’08.
       
   
§
Capex totaled US$169.3 million in the 1Q’09, 79.4% up year-on-year. The main investments included US$42.1 million in the Jataí greenfield project in Goiás; US$25.6 million in cogeneration projects in Costa Pinto, Rafard and Bonfim; US$24.2 million in the conclusion of the cogeneration expansion of the Gasa unit; and US$33.8 million in sugarcane planting, as well as other minor projects in the industrial and agricultural areas.
       
   
§
In terms of capital structure, Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with net debt of US$82.7 million, a negligible amount when set against shareholders’ equity and minority interests of US$2.9 billion, and an exceptionally comfortable cash position of US$890.4 million.
       
   
§
In the 1Q’09, Cosan celebrated several more important achievements that formed part of its corporate strategy, having executed a series of important biomass energy sales contracts through auction and bilateral agreements through the Bonfim, Jataí, Gasa, Barra, Diamante and Univalem plants. All the contracts have similar characteristics, constituting fixed, inflation-adjusted revenue over 15 years which will not only increase EBITDA in consolidated cash flow, but will also, and even more importantly, greatly reduce the volatility of our results caused by swings in commodity prices and the exchange rate.
 
The major asset of Cosan Ltd. on its constitution was its equity interest in Cosan S.A. Its operating results are therefore substantially based on those of its subsidiary, Cosan S.A.
Cosan Ltd. uses the US$ as its reporting currency and the R$ as its functional currency..
The financial statements of Cosan Ltd. are drawn up primarily in US GAAP, while those of its subsidiary Cosan S.A. are drawn up primarily in BR GAAP. The main differences between the accounting practices of US GAAP and BR GAAP that affect the results of Cosan Ltd. are:
    ·       evaluation of acquired companies at their fair market value instead of their book value, increasing the value of fixed assets and, consequently, depreciation expenses;
·       the non-existence of asset revaluation and, consequently, depreciation of the revalued portion;
·       the non-existence of amortization of goodwill;
·       capitalization of interest on financings for fixed assets under construction;
·       mark-to-market of hedge instruments recorded directly in the result;
·       the booking of remuneration from the executives’ stock option plan under general and administrative expenses;
·       the non-existence of deferred expenses; and
·       the booking of goods acquired through leasing under assets.

§
As expected, Cosan S.A. (BOVESPA: CSAN3) experienced a bad beginning of harvest. While sugar prices look like being in a random recovery, ethanol prices, although slightly higher than a year ago, underwent their reaction to the start of the harvest, recording a year-on-year decline. On the production side, the exceptionally high rainfall in April and May jeopardized cane sucrose content, lowering yield in comparison with the previous year and pushing up production costs. In addition, the continuing appreciation of the Real against the dollar exerted negative pressure on export revenue. As if this were not enough, the inflationary inertia of the costs also affected the expenses, both in terms of freight and labor, with the beginning-of-year wage increase, pushing up selling expenses. All in all, then, these series of expected adverse impacts in the sector which together led Cosan to adopt a change in tactics. The Company therefore began to intensively build up ethanol and (especially) sugar inventories in order to take advantage of the product’s strong financial carrying incentives. However, this strategy ended up reducing immediate sugar sales, jeopardizing the dilution of fixed costs and expenses even further and putting even more pressure on short-term results.
 
     
 
ri@cosan.com.br
www.cosan.com.br
 
 
 
§
The bias towards ethanol production simultaneously increased stocks and sales and 1Q’09 operating revenue moved up 8.1% year-on-year. If we include the result of hedge operations, however, this increase was a considerably more modest 1.4%, given that sugar price locks at the beginning of the FY’08 were generating much higher gains. The cost of goods sold, reflecting the low value of the cane TSR, climbed by 14.2%, while selling expenses jumped by 40.3% thanks to the upturn in freight costs and the hefty increase in ethanol exports. As a result, EBITDA totaled R$24.7 million, 50.1% below the 1Q’08, while EBITDAH, even when hedge operations are factored in, dropped by 47.5% year-on-year to R$69.9 million. This substantial reduction was insufficient to absorb growing depreciation from new investments, plantations and the amortization of goodwill from past acquisitions. As a result, Cosan posted a 1Q’09 net loss of R$58.1 million, versus net income of R$13.7 million in the 1Q’08, totally aligned with the previous guidance informed by the Company to the market.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

REPORT ON COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE (CONSOLIDATED)--Continued
 
   
A. Market Overview
       
   
§
The crushing pace in the 2008/09 sugarcane crop in Brazil’s Central-South region is still below initial expectations for two main reasons: i) high rainfall in the first two weeks of August, especially in the states of Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo, which paralyzed the harvest for 10, 5 and 2 days respectively; and ii) delay in the start-up of crushing in the new plants scheduled to come on stream in the 08/09 season. In fact, of the 32 new mills, 3 will not become operational this harvest and a further 11 have not yet done so, although they are scheduled for start-up within the next few months. The other 18 are already operating.
       
08/09 harvest in Brazil’s Central-South continues to prioritize ethanol production
 
 
§
According to the latest figures from UNICA, the sugarcane growers’ association, crushed cane volume in the Central-South totaled 244 million tonnes by August 15, 8.5% up on the same period in 2007, below the initially expected 15% increase. Period sugar production amounted to 12.5 million tonnes, 5% down year-on-year, while ethanol output moved up by 13.7% to more than 11.3 billion liters. Of this total, hydrous accounted for 7.6 billion liters, 23.2% up year-on-year, and anhydrous for 3.8 billion liters, down by 1.5%. Priority was still being given to ethanol, which accounted for 59.8% of crushed cane volume, while sugar accounted for 40.2%.
       
   
§
On the international front, initial forecasts put Indian sugar production from the 08/09 harvest at 21.8 million tonnes, around 5 million tonnes less than the season before. As we mentioned in our previous release, this reduction was due to the decline in planted area, thanks to low prices and higher returns from other crops such as wheat and rice. India’s domestic market has already begun to feel the impact of the reduced supply and prices have gone up by 10% in the last two months, out of step with international prices. As a result of all these factors, India‘s exports are likely to be substantially below the 4.4 million tonnes shipped during the 07/08 season.
       
   
§
On the other hand, despite the strong increase in Chinese demand, estimated at around 10%, leading to annual consumption of close to 14 million tonnes this year, domestic prices have reached their lowest level for three years due to record output of 14.8 million tonnes. As a result of the price slide, Chinese imports are not economically viable and local buyers have pulled out of the market. In addition, the authorities have been taking steps to discourage the use of remaining import licenses due to the ample availability of sugar on the home market.

Speculator flight substantially reduces the number of open contracts
 
§
In the 1Q’09, major hedge funds, plus smaller funds and speculators, reduced their net long positions by 33%, from 196,000 lots at the beginning of May to around 130,000 at the close of July, equivalent to 17% of all open contracts. It is also worth noting that the number of open contracts fell substantially, from 920,000 to 780,000 lots, a drop of around 15%, as speculators began to move out of commodities due to expectations of a global economic slowdown.

US refined sugar import quota drives up white premium
 
§
However, at the beginning of August, the USDA opened an import quota of 300,000 tonnes on refined sugar imports, which may be maintained for an indeterminate period if the following are confirmed: i) a 600,000 tonne decline in beet sugar production; ii) a reduction in refining capacity due to an accident in a major US refinery at the beginning of the year and; iii) an increase in the price of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) due to high corn prices. This measure pushed up the white premium to more than US$110/t.

Domestic hydrous ethanol prices (ESALQ) averaged R$0.697/liter in the 1Q’09, 10.8% up on the R$0.629/liter recorded in the same period the year before, while anhydrous prices climbed 9.6% year-on-year to R$0.824/liter. In relation to the previous three months, hydrous fell by 3.6%, while anhydrous moved up by 2.3%. This contrary movement was due to strong period export demand for anhydrous ethanol.
       
Ethanol exports reach record levels in the 1Q’09
 
§
Ethanol exports in the 1Q’09 totaled 1.4 billion liters, a hefty 64% up year-on-year, chiefly fueled by strong US demand, in turn caused by the floods that hit the American Midwest in June, which impacted corn prices and hampered internal ethanol distribution. As a result, the US absorbed most of Brazil’s period ethanol exports, or 0.66 billion liters, followed by the CBI nations, with 0.32 billion and the EU, with 0.26 billion. It is also worth noting that ethanol exports in July reached the record level of 0.61 billion liters.
       
     
Ethanol Prices – Last 24 Months (ESALQ)
     
       
       
   
§
According to Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP), domestic retail gasoline prices averaged R$2.450/liter in the quarter, while hydrous ethanol prices averaged R$1.501/liter, giving a parity of 61.2%. Ethanol prices only exceeded 75% of gasoline prices in six Brazilian states (Amapa, Roraima, Pará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Piauí). In São Paulo state, the country’s largest consumption center, the ratio stood at only 52.3%.
       
Ethanol consumption continues to outpace gasoline consumption in the quarter
 
§
This highly favorable situation continued to favor ethanol consumption throughout the country – according to the ANP, hydrous consumption moved up 49% year-on-year in the 1Q’09. Quarterly sales totaled 4.7 billion liters – 3.2 billion liters of hydrous and 1.5 billion liters of anhydrous – versus 4.6 billion liters of gasoline in the same period.

B. Operating Performance
     
 
§
Cosan closed the 1Q’09 with an EBITDAH margin of only 10.2% and a negative bottom line. The main factor behind these figures, which were substantially below 1Q’08 levels, was the big reduction in TSR (total recoverable sugar, a measure of sugarcane sucrose content), which had a direct impact on production costs and, consequently, the cost of goods sold, which increased by R$78.1 million year-on-year. However, there were also several other negative factors, including inflation, commodity prices, the exchange rate and the decision to stockpile.

Exchange rate continues to hit exports
 
§
The influence of the exchange rate on Cosan’s exports remained strong. Thus, with one more quarter in which the Real appreciated against the dollar, exports lost even more ground, despite the big increase in volume, falling to 59.4% of total revenue (65% of total revenue in terms of sugar-equivalent volume). Nevertheless, ethanol shipments have played an important role in regulating domestic prices and sugar supply. This instrument, although partially jeopardizing the direct result of exported ethanol, with relatively low prices and an unsatisfactory exchange rate, ends up generating higher profits from sugar sales and domestic ethanol sales.

§
In terms of product mix, Cosan once again gave priority for the ethanol production, while the strategy for the sugar production was to build up stocks. As a result, sugar’s share of total revenue fell from 62.8% in the 1Q’08 to 55.1% in the 1Q’09. Ethanol’s share moved up from 28.6% to 37.8% in the same period, and also climbed up over the revenue from other products and services, which fell in value and also lost share, chiefly due to reduced port activities, in turn caused by the decline in sugar shipments.

§
As for sugar, while domestic sales volume remained virtually flat over the 1Q’08, exports fell by 6.8% to 737,800 tonnes. As a result, total sales volume fell by 6.0% year-on-year. On the other hand, thanks to increased production and Cosan’s stockpiling strategy, sugar inventories closed the quarter at 555,700 tonnes, a hefty 81.2% up on the end of the 1Q’08. At current sales levels, these stocks are sufficient for 63 days, versus only 33 days a year ago. This has allowed the Company to capture important carrying premiums paid by the market, measured by future sugar contract spreads, which reached more than 100% p.a. on the expiry of the May/08 contract.
       
   
§
Thanks to the increase in the market price and the appreciation of the Real, sugar prices averaged R$445/t (¢US$12.45/lb), just 0.8% up on the R$442/t (¢US$10.37/lb) recorded in the 1Q’08, albeit accompanied by a combination of factors that were highly harmful to the competitiveness of Brazilian sugar.

§
Total ethanol sales volume recorded robust year-on-year growth of 38.2%. Exports moved up by a hefty 63.0%, which accounted for 34.0% of the period total ethanol sales, versus 28.8% in the 1Q’08, and domestic sales climbed by a respectable 28.1%, led by hydrous ethanol, which is used in flex-fuel vehicles. Despite this big increase, following the 17.1% upturn in production, stocks also moved up, closing the quarter at 349.6 million liters. As with sugar, Cosan has been pursuing a stockpiling policy, attempting to benefit from possible price gains in the off-season, which traditionally offer a premium which is much higher than the carrying cost of the inventories themselves.

Ethanol exports balance domestic supply
 
 
§
Ethanol average prices were slightly more favorable than those of sugar, growing by 3.6% over the 1Q’08 to R$714 per thousand liters. As mentioned earlier, it is worth remembering the important role played by exports in regulating the market, with an average price slightly lower than those at home due to the built-in FOB value, leading to the shrinkage of the domestic market and helping to support higher prices comparing to the year before.
       
   
§
Revenue from other products and services fell by 10.9%, from R$51.0 million in the 1Q’08 to R$45.4 million, primarily due to the reduction in the volume of port services and the impact of the appreciation of the Real, given that most such services are priced in dollars. In fact, like Cosan itself, the entire sugar sector delayed their foreign shipments until the second half, leaving the port relatively idle. However, it is worth emphasizing that since port service contracts are of the take-or-pay type, even if this shipment volume is not recovered, port operations will still be remunerated. The main item in this revenue group, however, is still the sale of diesel to Cosan’s own third-party agricultural service providers, which generated net revenue of R$13.4 million in the 1Q’09. However, this operation generates no margins as the entire amount is also booked under cost of other products and services.
       
Unit sugarcane costs jeopardized by low sucrose content
 
§
The cost of goods sold and services rendered increased by 14.2% year-on-year to R$626.0 million, mainly due to the lower sucrose content (TSR) of the cane processed in the period. The sugar and ethanol production cost edged up by 0.5%, from R$55.1 per tonne of processed cane, in the 1Q’08, to R$55.4 in the 1Q’09. However, since sugar content fell by 5.7% to 130.8 kg per tonne of cane, the cost per TSR produced increased by 6.6% to R$423.3 per ton of TSR. And since sales volume also rose by 8.5% in sugar-equivalent terms, the combined effect of low yield and high volume pushed up the cost of goods sold and services rendered.
       
   
§
In terms of production, the agricultural phase was still responsible for adding most value, contributing R$44.4 per ton of cane, versus R$44.85 in the 1Q’08, and accounting for 80.2% of sugar-equivalent production costs. Industrial costs came to R$10.98 per ton of cane, or 19.8% of total production costs. The cost of the cane delivered at the mill (R$44,4/ton of cane) includes 43% of the cane acquired from third parties for R$38.6 per ton of cane and 57% of the cane planted by Cosan for R$48.7 per ton of cane.
       
   
§
Mechanization was responsible for 50% of harvested area in the 1Q’09, at a cost of R$18.7/t, with an average yield of 553 tonnes per day per machine, while the remaining 50% was harvested by hand through burning at a cost of R$21.6/t, both figures including depreciation. It is worth remembering that mechanically harvested area and yield per harvester are both moving up within a normal learning curve. This combined effect should generate a big reduction in cutting, loading and transportation costs.
       
   
§
Another important factor in agricultural production, that of crop treatment, remained stable at R$1,080.0/ha. Although punishing input price inflation has exerted upward pressure on costs, this has been offset by economies generated by the resizing of activities and the reformulation of applications.

§
In terms of unit costs per product sold, sugar costs increased by 2.6% year-on-year and those of ethanol by 7.1%, the difference reflecting the production mix between plants (those with slightly higher production costs turning out more ethanol and those with lower costs producing more sugar). However, this type of distortion is corrected over the course of the harvest.
       
Selling expenses record a year-on-year upturn due to ethanol exports
 
§
Selling expenses totaled R$85.7 million, 40.3% up year-on-year. In unit sugar-equivalent terms, this corresponds to R$63/t, 29.3% more than the R$49/t recorded in the 1Q’08.

Part of this upturn was due to sugar freight costs. As we mentioned in our 2Q’08 Release, part of the 1Q’08 expenses were retained in current assets as expenses from subsequent periods, only being discharged in the result in the 2Q’08. Real sugar freight costs came to R$49.6/t in the 1Q’09, versus an adjusted R$50.8/t in the 1Q’08. Another important factor in the increase in selling expenses was the upturn in ethanol freight costs caused by record exports, which pushed up tanker-truck transport, and the introduction of the mandatory biodiesel mix with production in the North and Northeast of Brazil.
       
   
§
G&A expenses totaled R$59.7 million in the 1Q’09, representing 9.3% of net revenue, 4.8% up on the R$57.0 million recorded in the 1Q’08. In unit sugar-equivalent terms, however, these expenses dropped by 3.4%, from R$46/t to R$44/t, thanks to higher production volume.

G&A expenses were leveraged by three main factors: (i) the 23.5% growth in own labor costs to R$27.9 million, reflecting union agreements and the higher average wage due to a more qualified workforce (ii) non-recurring expenses of R$2.0 million in legal fees for the provision of services related to fiscal disputes and other contingencies; (iii) increased depreciation, reflecting the beginning of depreciation of amounts related to the acquisition of licenses and the installation of the SAP ERP. On the other hand, there was a big reduction in expenses from third-party services in general, which fell by R$4.1 million year-on-year, reflecting Cosan’s cost-reduction drive, which we have mentioned previously.

Other operating expenses amounted to R$0.6 million, including non-cash expenses of R$10.6 million from the constitution of provisions for fiscal contingencies (mainly ICMS tax), operating revenue of R$4.4 million related to gains from the roll-over of physical sugar contracts with trading companies, and R$3.9 million in gains from port operations due to storage and demurrage/dispatch premiums, as well as R$1.8 million from rent and leasing.
       
Exchange variation influences the ‘Q’09 financial result  
§
The Company posted another positive net financial result, chiefly thanks to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar. Although the exchange variation corroded average export prices, the restatement of dollar-denominated debt generated exchange revenue of R$101.5 million, versus R$128.5 million in the 1Q’08.

Derivative transactions, especially exchange-related, also made a major contribution to financial revenue, albeit less so than in the 1Q’08. All in all, transactions involving commodity derivatives recorded gains of R$7.9 million, versus R$44.0 million in the 1Q’08, while exchange derivatives generated gains of R$37.4 million, versus R$39.8 million in the 1Q’08.

At the close of the 1Q’09, Cosan had 2,072,500 tonnes of VHP sugar tied to the NY11, hedged at an average price of ¢US$13.42/lb, with an estimated negative  market value of R$109.6 million, and 26,500 tonnes of refined sugar, tied to the London5, hedged at an average price of US$367.63/t. It also had US$513.8 million hedged at an average exchange rate of R$1.8304/US$ with an estimated market value of R$102.4 million.
     
 
§
The increase in expenses from other interest and monetary variations was caused by the upturn in the balance of provisions for contingencies most of which are restated by the CDI, which remained flat, and the onerous monetary variation related to the PESA debt, restated by the IGP-M inflationary index, which recorded 5.45% in the 1Q’09, versus just 0.58% in the 1Q’08.

Work speeds up on greenfield unit in Jataí
 
§
Operating capex came to R$253.3 million, 50.1% up on the R$170.3 million invested in the 1Q’08. Growth was chiefly leveraged by the termination of investments related to the expansion of the Gasa unit (R$39.4 million), disbursements related to the Jataí greenfield project (R$68.3 million) and the conclusion of the cogeneration projects in the Costa Pinto and Rafard units and the beginning of expenditures on the Bonfim unit.
       
   
§
Other major operating investments included: (i) R$8.4 million in the construction of additional ethanol tankage capacity in the Ipaussu, Bonfim, Barra and Gasa units; (ii) R$6.6 million in the construction of pipelines to carry vignasse to the plantations for environmental reasons and to reduce dependence on fertilizers, and; (iii) R$15.3 million in mechanization, including new harvesters, tractors, implements and trucks for agricultural operations in the various units.
       
   
§
Investments in sugarcane planting (except in Jataí, included in the greenfield expenses mentioned above) remained flat over the 1Q’08. As of the 2Q’09, however, Cosan will be reducing planted area and, consequently, planting capex.

E. Material Facts
       
   
§
On August 14, the subsidiary Barra Bioenergia S.A., signed an agreement with CPFL Comercialização Brasil S.A. (“CPFL”) to sell the latter between 2,900 GWh and 3,600 GWh of electric power over 15 years, totaling around R$ 500 million, adjusted annually by the variation in the IGP-M inflationary index. The energy will be supplied by a cogeneration facility to be built in association with the Gasa unit. The agreement also envisages the supply of any surplus electricity from the same plant, including from the increased use of biomass, i.e. the use of sugarcane leaves and straw in addition to bagasse.
       
   
§
Given the advanced conclusion of the cogeneration projects in the Costa Pinto and Rafard plants, scheduled for start-up in 2009, Cosan S.A. Bioenergia will also supply CPFL with 100 GWh over 6 months beginning in September/08. In addition, January/09 will see the first revenue from the energy sold at the 2005 auction, representing a monthly cash intake of around R$4.0 million.
       
   
§
The subsidiaries Barra Bioenergia S.A. and Cosan Centroeste S.A. Sugar e Álcool emerged victorious from the 1st Reserve Energy Auction on August 14. The Barra, Bonfim and Jataí units will build biomass cogeneration plants to produce 9,504.6 GWh over 15 years as of 2010, with a present value of around R$1.5 billion adjusted by the IPCA consumer price index.
       
   
§
On August 28, Cosan S.A. constituted the subsidiary Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. (“RADAR”), whose corporate purpose is to identify and acquire rural properties with high appreciation potential for subsequent leasing and/or sale. Over the last decade COSAN has developed a technical center specialized in evaluating the agricultural potential of rural properties. RADAR’s management will be entirely independent with its own team of dedicated professionals. Cosan will retain around 18.9% of RADAR’s capital and the remaining 81.1% will be divided among other investors. COSAN initially invested US$35 million and the other investors US$150 million, and a second investment is expected within the next two years. According to the shareholders’ agreement, executed on the same date, Cosan will retain the majority of votes on RADAR’s Board of Directors, thereby retaining control of the company. In addition, COSAN has a 10-year option to subscribe 20% of RADAR’s capital stock for the same amount as the initial capitalization.
       
   
§
On September 11, 2009, Cosan, through its bioenergy subsidiaries, also entered into other contracts for the supply of biomass electricity through bilateral agreements with Rede Comercializadora de Energia S/A, in accordance with which, the Univalem and Diamante plants will also provide approximately 3,000 GWh at a current amount of close to R$489 million, adjusted annually by the variation in the IGP-M inflationary index.
