A. Market Overview

According to UNICA, the sugarcane growers association, crushed cane volume in Brazils central-south region totaled 541.9 million tonnes in the 2009/10 crop, 7.3% up compared to the previous harvest. Sugar production increased by 7.3% to reach 28.6 million tonnes, while ethanol output dropped by 5.6% to 23.7 billion liters, of which hydrous ethanol accounted for 17.5 billion liters and anhydrous ethanol for 6.2 billion liters, an increase of 3.8% and decrease of 24.8%, respectively, in relation to the previous harvest. This reflects the crop shortfall due to record level of rains during the crop, when the weather is usually dry, which not only decreased the number of crushing days but also the sucrose content of the total sugar recoverable (TSR) in the cane to 130.25 kg/t, compared to 140.88 kg/t in the previous harvest. In addition, due to increase in sugar prices in the international market during the crop, the production mix continued to prioritize sugar (42.6%) compared to the previous year.

UNICA estimates that the total crushed cane volume for the 2010/11 crop will reach 595.9 million tonnes in Brazilian Central-South region, which, combined with an improve of TSR to 138.59 kg/t and 43.29% of cane towards sugar production, maintaining the production mix more focused on sugar compared to last years, will result in 34.1 million tonnes of sugar, 20.1 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 7.3 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 19.1%, 15.4% and 16.2%, respectively. These projections are mainly the result of (i) greater agricultural productivity (tonnes of cane / hectare) due to the higher level of rains during the planting and growth of sugarcane, despite such adverse effects as the orange rust of sugarcane, which may affect certain cane varieties and the aging of the field; (ii) higher yield of sucrose (TSR) in the cane as a result of a more favorable weather conditions for harvesting and maturing of the cane, despite the higher volume of cane left on the field, anticipation of the beginning of harvest and the evolution of mechanical harvesting; and the (iii) increase in crushing capacity as result of the startup of 10 new mill units and ramp-up of the harvesting area of those that started operating in the previous harvests, effect that started to vanish due to the lower investment level compared to the peak in 2007 and 2008 in the sector.

The latest UNICA data indicate an increase of crushed cane volume in beginning of 2010/11 crop, until May 16th, totaling 93.9 million tones, 27.1% higher on the same period in the last crop, mainly due to the advance of sugarcane harvest. The production mix in the period continues to prioritize sugar to attend the contracts which could not be performed last year, being 41.9% of production directed to this product and 58.1% for ethanol. Sugar production reached 4.4 million tonnes, an increase of 38.7% than last crop, while ethanol output stood at 3.8 billion liters, with 2.9 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 829 million liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 11.5% and 74.6%, respectively.

In this quarter, raw sugar prices averaged 24.52 US¢/lb, 92.8% up over 4Q09 and 3.6% up over 3Q10. It is important to note the variation of prices in the period: after rallying in January, when sugar price reached 29.9 US¢/lb, the highest in 29 years, prices dropped by 44.5% until the end of the quarter. The downward trend continued, reaching the lowest point of 13.67 US¢/lb in the beginning of May, 54.3% down from the peak in January.
 
 
 
2 of 31

 
 
 
 
This can be explained by some factors: (i) export of 500,000 tonnes of out-of-quota sugar to the European Union, as mentioned in the last Financial Letter; (ii) export of nearly 1 million tonnes of sugar from Brazil in the quarter, which was not expected by the market based on the estimates of initial inventories for the harvest; (iii) the recovery and extension of the Indian crop, which usually ends in March and was estimated between 13 and 15 million tonnes. In May, there were still several mills processing cane, with new estimates between 18 and 19 million tonnes; (iv) the deferral of demand in response to the higher prices; (v) the prospect of better weather conditions for the 2010/11 crop in Brazil and India, resulting in more optimistic sugar production estimates ranging from 32-35 to 24-25 million tonnes, respectively.

On the other hand, world sugar inventories are much lower compared to historical levels and need to be recomposed. Moreover, there are several uncertainties concerning the crop in some countries, for example: (i) in Brazil and India, if the weather conditions are not as adequate as expected, production will be lower than expected; (ii) the announcement by the Pakistani government of its intention to buy approximately 900,000 tonnes; (iii) potential imports from China to recompose strategic inventories, given that these were released to curb inflation in the domestic market after a bad crop; (iv) the possibility that the United States will allow additional raw sugar imports to meet domestic demand.

International refined sugar prices partially followed the downward trajectory of raw sugar prices, dropping by 37.6% in 61 days. The average price in the period was US$659.15/t, 75.5% and 7.4% up over 4Q09 and 3Q10, respectively. Due to the lack of sugar for refining, mainly because Brazil is in the inter-harvest period, the white premium averaged US$118.58/t.

In 4Q10, the Brazilian real depreciated against the U.S. dollar to average R$1.80/US$, 3.6% up from the previous quarter. In the quarter, the Real reached R$1.87/US$, due to the initial signs of an economic slowdown in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The foreign exchange rate at the end of the period was R$1.78/US$, compared with R$1.74/US$ in December 2009 and R$2.32/US$ in March 2009.

Domestic crystal sugar prices (ESALQ) averaged R$70.80/50Kg bag (or 35.65 US¢/lb) in 4Q10, 22.8% up compared to the previous quarter and 63.7% up on 4Q09. These prices reflect the lower sugar availability due to the rainy season and strong exports during the harvest, which amounted to 19.8 million tonnes (from April/09 to March/10).

In response to the previously mentioned factors and the macroeconomic conditions, major hedge funds, plus smaller funds and speculators, who had built positions in the commodity due to its solid fundamentals, quickly reduced their long sugar positions, helping with the decline in sugar prices. At the end of 4Q10, the net long position stood at 158,000 lots, or 15.8% of open contracts, 30.2% down from the previous quarter.

In the domestic market, the lower availability of ethanol due to the accelerated demand in 2009 (increase in flex fuel cars sales) and the reduced supply due to the rainy harvest, resulted in a significant increase in prices of both anhydrous and hydrous ethanol. Hydrous ethanol prices (ESALQ) averaged R$1.041/liter in 4Q10, 40.8% up YoY and 9.7% up over 3Q10. Anhydrous prices averaged R$1.188/liter, 43.1% higher than 3Q09 and 8.6% up on the previous quarter.
 

 
According to Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the average hydrous ethanol/gasoline price parity (weighted by the size of the fleet) closed 69% at the end of 4Q10, returning to below 70% parity in 6 states, which account for more than 50% of Brazil’s flex-fuel fleet. Between February and May 1st, 2010, the anhydrous ethanol blend ratio in gasoline reduced from 25% to 20%, yet anhydrous ethanol consumption remained unchanged compared to February and March 2009, once gasoline consumption increased significantly as ethanol prices were above parity during most of the period.
 
According to ANFAVEA, the auto manufacturers’ association, flex-fuel vehicle sales in Brazil totaled 652,700 units in 4Q10, accounting for 87% of new car sales, 16.1% up year-on-year.
 
According to ANP, Diesel sales in the first three months of 2010 totaled 11.1 billion liters, 12.7% up year-on-year. Gasoline A volume increased by a significant 29.7% in the period, with 5.9 billion liters sold, as ethanol prices were above parity and percentage of anhydrous ethanol blended in gasoline decreased. For these same reasons, ethanol consumption dropped by 24.7% in the period to reach 2.8 billion liters.

* This total includes production data from NovAmerica only as from June/09, when it started being consolidated into Cosan. Considering the full year of NovAmerica production, Cosan would have crushed 53.1 million tons of sugar-cane.

Cosan crushed 50.3 million tonnes of sugarcane in FY10, 18.1% increase compared to the previous year despite the atypical rainfall which reduced the number of crushing days, chiefly due to the merger of NovAmérica in June 2009. The harvest mechanization ratio closed the year at 64.5%, versus 50.8% in FY09. From the total sugar-cane crushed in FY10, 53.4% was originated from third parties suppliers.

Thanks to the excessive rainfall, total sugar recoverable (TSR) fell by 6.6% to only 129.8kg/t. As a result, the Company produced 2.5 million tonnes of raw sugar, 1.0 million tonnes of refined sugar, 1.8 billion liters of ethanol, 1.2 billion of which hydrous and 0.6 billion anhydrous, 29.4% up and 15.1% down on the previous year, respectively.

It is important to say that the above mentioned TSR is measured when the sugar-cane enters into ours mill while the average TSR of the South-center presented by UNICA is measured through a stoichiometric conversion of the products. Using the UNICA´s criteria, COSAN´s TSR would have been 136.58 kg / ton of cane.

C. Operating Performance

When comparing FY10 and FY09 for analytical purposes, the following differences should be taken into consideration:

 
(i)  
Due to the change in closure of FY09 from April to March 31, 2009, the two fiscal years in question were not comparable: FY09 consisted of 11 months only, from May 2008 to March 2009, while FY10 consisted of 12 months, from April 2009 to March 2010;

 
(ii)  
The criterion for presenting depreciation in the results analysis and financial statements was altered. In FY10, depreciation was booked under the cost of goods sold (COGS) and operating expenses (SG&A), whereas in FY09 it was booked under production costs (the entry into production of goods and services rendered) and operating expenses. It is worth noting that depreciation under operating expenses suffered no change.

 
(iii)  
The consolidation of CCL only began in December 2008. Thus CCLs figures for 4Q09 and FY09 correspond to the periods between February and March 2009 and December 2008 to March 2009, respectively.

 
(iv)  
Cosan sold the aviation fuel distribution business in June 2009. Consequently, the figures as from 2Q10 no longer include this business;

 
(v)  
NovAméricas results were consolidated as of June 2009, when the company was merged into Cosan S.A.

Sugar Sales - CAA

Sugar sales totaled R$3.4 billion, 87.1% more than the previous year. The main factors contributing to the R$ 1.6 billion increase were:
 
 
Þ 
Record international and domestic prices, 28.9% and 54.4% above previous year which have contributed with gains of approximately R$ 453.5 million and R$ 127.3 million, respectively;
 
 
Þ 
The higher sugar volume sold, resulted in an additional revenues of R$640.5 million. This increase in volume can be explained by: (i) NovAmerica consolidation; (ii) the higher share of sugar in the product mix; (iii) the reduction in carryover stocks; and (iv) the distortion in the comparison with the previous year, which had only 11 months.

Ethanol revenue totaled R$1.7 billion, 48.6%, or R$ 571.6 million, up on FY09, mainly due to:

 
Þ
Gain of R$513.2 million from higher ethanol sales, thanks to: (i) the incorporation of NovAméricas plants; (ii) the reduction in carryover stocks, taking advantage of the higher inter-harvest prices; (iii) the effect from the comparison with FY09, which had only 11 months;

 
Þ
Gain of R$40.7 million due to the increase in domestic average prices, notwithstanding the 18.3% decrease in the international average prices;

 
Þ
Loss of R$78.0 million, due to higher exports, whose average prices were lower than domestic ones.
 

Ethanol
Volume (million liters) and Average Unit Price (R$/thousand liters)

Rumo

In FY10, Rumo concluded its first year jointly operating in the Cosan Portuária and Teaçú terminals and began transport operations through a partnership agreement with ALL, with total net revenues of R$158.2 million. Loading service volume grew by 131.4% over FY09, from 3.5 million to 8.1 million tonnes, 34.6% of which (or 2.8 million tonnes) being service provided to Cosan. This result was achieved because of a merger of Teaçú, NovAméricas former terminal, and higher productivity due to synergies and improvements in operational processes.

The average cargo handling price increased by 13.0% over FY09 to R$17.50/ton.

The transportation agreement entered into with ALL became valid and executable in 4Q10, generating additional revenue of R$16.1 million in this quarter.

Ethanol sales of 803.2 million liters, reflecting record vehicle licensing volume between April 2009 and March 2010, 88% of which flex-fuel vehicles;

 
Þ
Higher ethanol prices in the inter-harvest period, which not only benefited hydrous net revenue, but also resulted in an upturn in gasoline sales volume. This was because ethanol prices were above 70% parity with gasoline prices in many Brazilian sates, causing some flex-fuel owners to switch from ethanol to gasoline, whose prices are higher (average of R$2,207/m3 in FY10 versus R$942/m3 of ethanol);

 
Þ
The acquisition of new corporate clients, who accounted for an additional 210 million liters of Diesel in FY10, beyond the diesel volume sold to CAA.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS totaled R$13.2 billion, versus R$5.5 billion in the previous year. This substantial upturn reflected the 12-month consolidation of fuel and lubricant distribution, which added R$ 9.4 billion to annual COGS, versus R$2.9 billion in the previous year, when only four months of this business unit were consolidated. In addition, CAAs COGS increased by 60.5%, chiefly due to higher sales volume, sugar sourcing activities, higher costs for sugar cane acquired from third parties, the poor harvest and the reduction in TSR, the last two due to excess rainfall in the harvest period.

CAA

The cost of goods sold and services rendered totaled R$4.1 billion, accompanying sugar and ethanol sales growth and reflecting the merger of NovAmérica and the strong impact of the lower TSR obtained from the sugarcane, the upturn in the TSR price (due to higher sugar prices in Brazil and abroad), mainly due to adverse weather conditions throughout the harvest.

The R$1.5 billion increase, results from the 19.1% upturn in average unit sugar costs and the 11.6% rise in average unit ethanol costs, was chiefly due to:

 
Þ
The increase in sugar sourcing (purchase of the raw material to be refined and product for subsequent resale and distribution on the domestic market), a traditional NovAmerica practice, whose margins are lower and which had an impact of R$61 million;

 
Þ
The increase of 25.5% in the average TSR price, as calculated by Consecana, from R$0.2772/Kg of TSR to R$0.3492/Kg of TSR, which pushed up the cost of land leased and sugarcane acquired from suppliers, adding approximately R$260 million;

 
Þ
The effect of lower concentration in the TSR itself (cane sucrose content), from 139.0kg/ton of sugar cane to 129.8kg/ton, surpassed the gains in efficiency in the process of mechanization of the harvest, leading to additional costs of R$180 million;

 
Þ
Thanks to excessive rainfall, there were less effective crushing days. Consequently, 3.3 million tonnes of cane which were expected to be processed were left in the fields, generating an impact on the dilution of fixed agricultural costs (planting, treatment and leasing).
 
 
14 of 31

 
 
 
Þ
Despite the harvesting difficulties, CLT costs (cutting, loading and transport) has not increased benefited from the mechanical harvest which accounted for 64.5% of the total harvest, stood at R$6.25/tonne of cane, cheaper than manual CLT costs.

Rumo

Rumos COGS totaled R$115.5 million, including loading and transportation costs, the latter consisting of costs from transshipment, road and rail freight, and storage.

The variable part of the loading costs refer mostly to stevedore expenses, port tariffs and electric power, while the fixed part refers to operational labor, equipment rental, port leasing costs and maintenance.


CCL

CCLs average COGS recorded a decline of R$32/m3 in FY10, or 2%, lower than FY09, primarily due to the reduction in Petrobrás Diesel price and lower lubricant costs due to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar. The reduction of the average unit cost quoted above occurred despite the upturn in the inter-harvest ethanol costs, which affected not only hydrous costs but also those of gasoline C, due to the mandatory gasoline mix with anhydrous ethanol. In addition, between February and April 2010, the ratio was reduced from 25% to 20% turning even more expensive the cost of gasoline C.

 
Gross Profit
 

As a result, the Company recorded a FY10 gross profit of R$2.1 billion, an increase of 165.9% compared to the previous year, with a gross margin equivalent to 13.9%. The ethanol margin recovered throughout the harvest, reaching breakeven at the close of the year. On the other hand, sugar recorded a positive margin of 37.4%, partially benefiting from the increase in international prices and sugars greater share of domestic sales. In addition, CCLs gross unit margin moved up by R$26/m3 to R$137/m3.

CAA

Excluding the effects from the NovAmerica merger, CAA recorded selling expenses of R$373.1 million,17.4% higher than the previous year, chiefly due to the following factors:

 
Þ
The higher sugar exports caused an increase in freight and loading expenses of around 14.4%.

 
Þ
The increase of 28% in the volume of ethanol exports, which pushed up selling expenses by R$11.5 million.

 
Þ
Certain initiatives throughout the year to improve the efficiency of make the domestic sales management, including a reduction in retail commissions and bonuses through the revision of sales contracts and agreements in the case of sugar, and the elimination of less profitable accounts.

Rumo

Given the nature of its business, Rumo has no selling expenses.


CCL

CCLs selling expenses are mostly related to salaries and benefits, freight from product deliveries, maintenance, repairs and environmental expenses and marketing. It is worth noting that this fiscal year was characterized by investments in marketing, maintenance and repairs, in order to improve the image of the service stations, increase brand exposure and give more visibility to ethanol.

General and Administrative Expenses


G&A expenses totaled R$497.2 million, representing 3.2% of FY10 net revenue, a hefty 80.2% up on the R$275.9 million recorded in FY09, primarily due to the entry of NovAmérica (R$23.7 million), 12 months of expenses from CCL (R$92.7 million) and Teaçu consolidation by Rumo.

The integration of NovAméricas systems only took place in the second half of 4Q10, so its full effects will only be reflected as of 1Q11. Excluding this impact, G&A expenses increased by 47.8%, due to the following factors:

 
Þ
Increase of around R$42.0 million due to the provisioning of management and employee bonus payments;

 
Þ
Upturn of around R$20.0 million in expenses from consulting services, due to projects such as the Shared Services Center (CAN), the implementation of EVA and various other IT projects, non-recurring events.

 
Þ
Approximately R$11.0 million from the pay rise following the collective bargaining agreement and increase in other general expenses, such as travel expenses driven by geographic dispersion from our current different offices sites;

 
Þ
Fine of R$3.5 million levied by ANEEL due to breach of an energy supply contract by the Paraúna unit;


Rumo

Rumos G&A expenses amounted to R$18.1 million, primarily related to the salaries and benefits, security, insurance and consulting services.


CCL

CCLs G&A expenses totaled R$92.7 million, jeopardized by the following non-recurring effects: (i) R$6.7 million from adjustments due to the transition to the CAN; (ii) additional profit-sharing and bonus provisions of R$5.0 million and (iii) additions to legal proceeding reserves totaling R$1.2 million.

EBITDA


As a result of all the above, Cosan posted record EBITDA of R$1.7 billion in FY10, 86.3% more than its previous best of R$930million in FY07. Of this total, CAA contributed R$1.4 billion, 106.5% up on the previous year, while CCL and Rumo contributed R$332.0 million and R$42.8 million, respectively. Even excluding the non- recurring effects of REFIS (federal tax recovery program) and the sale of the aviation fuel business, EBITDA maintained its historical level of R$1.4 billion.

Depreciation and amortization totaled R$584.7 million, 43.1% more than the R$408.6 million reported in FY09, due to heavy investments in order to increase production efficiency through agricultural mechanization, co-generation and industrial improvements, as well as investments in increasing crushing capacity of the new plants (greenfield units). If this non-cash effect is excluded from operating costs and expenses, CAA recorded EBITDA of R$1.4 billion, chiefly due to the following:

 
Þ
Adherence to the REFIS program, which generated a positive impact of R$270.3 million, as explained in section F below;

 
Þ
Non-operating revenue resulting from a capital gain of R$93.1 million due to the sale of the aviation fuel business. In December 2008, Cosan S.A. acquired CCL through its subsidiary Cosanpar Participações, which sold this division in June 2009 for R$115.6 million. The difference between this amount and the amount booked under property, plant and equipment related to the aviation fuel business were recorded in the other operating income line, improving the EBITDA, as detailed in previous Financial Letters.

 
Þ
Non-operating expenses of R$29.9 million from the merger of Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A.

Rumo

Rumo recorded EBITDA of R$42.8 million in FY10, showing an EBITDA margin of 27.0%. It is worth noting that the company recorded R$9.4 million in other operating income from dispatch/demurrage, take or pay and storage services, and a non-recurring non-operating expense of R$5.4 million from accounting adjustments arising from the merger of Teaçú. The depreciation and amortization for the period were R$14.2 million.
 
 
18 of 31

 
 
CCL

Excluding the non-cash impact of depreciation of R$37.5 million, CCL posted FY10 EBITDA of R$332.0 million, with a margin of R$59/m3, or 3.3% EBITDA margin versus 2.1% for the previous year, due to the upturn in diesel, ethanol and gasoline sales volume, wider gasoline, diesel and lubricant unit margins, and the capture of logistics synergies from the merger with CAA.


Financial Result


The FY10 net financial result was a positive R$420.4 million, versus a negative R$817.4 million in the previous year, chiefly fueled by the impact of the exchange variation on dollar-denominated debt, which was positive by R$559.0 million in FY10 and negative by R$573.7 million in FY09.

The exchange impact was in turn mainly due to the 37% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Real in FY09 (R$1.6872/US$ x R$2.3152/US$) and the contrary effect in FY10, when the dollar fell by 23.1% against the Real (R$2.3152/US$ x R$1.7810/US$). The foreign-currency debt has also been increasing in recent years, having closed FY08, FY09 and FY10 at R$1.6 billion, R$2.3 billion and R$3.6 billion, respectively.

Interest on the gross debt totaled R$414.3 million, versus R$244.5 million in FY09, chiefly due to the upturn from the merger of NovAmérica, which was consolidated as of June 2009, and the funding for the acquisition of CCL, which impacted only four months in FY09.

D. Financial Situation

Cosan closed FY09 with gross financial debt of R$5.3 billion (excluding Resolution 24711), 42% up on the R$3.7 billion recorded at the end of FY09 and just 3.3% up on the R$5.2 billion posted at the close of 3Q10.

In November 2009, the Company implemented several measures to improve its debt profile, including full settlement of the promissory notes, the 209 senior notes, bank credit certificates and debentures, the last two resulting from the acquisition of NovAmérica and the contracting of: (i) US$ 430 million in export repayments, maturing in 5 years; (ii) US$ 100 million in export credit notes (NCEs), maturing in 3 years; (iii) R$ 300 million in export credit certificates (CCE), maturing in 2 years; and (iv) the disbursement by the BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) of part of the funding for Jataí and Gasa.


1 As disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Resolution 2471 debt is pegged to Brazilian treasury certificates acquired by the Company and recognized under current and non-current assets. Consequently, this debt was excluded from the analysis of indebtedness.
 
 
21 of 31

 
 
In 4Q10, the Company opted to prepay financing of R$90 million with the IFC due to its high cost, given that a portion is linked to the Groups operating cash flow. In addition, the BNDES disbursed R$123.4 million in new contracted loans and the Company contracted additional FINAME funding of around R$100.0 million, for machinery and equipment purchases. In the 4Q10, a loan named “Proinfa” has been reclassified to the BNDES line as well as for part of the FINAME loan amounting to approximately R$40.0 million.

E. Investments

Cosans investment flows totaled R$1.8 billion in FY10, totaling capex of R$1.9 billion, chiefly in greenfield projects, co-generation projects, planting and inter-harvest maintenance, less R$115.5 million from the sale of the aviation fuel business.

Consolidated capex was 43.1% higher than in the previous year, mainly due to the inclusion of NovAméricas assets, investments of R$143.8 million by Rumo, the return of planting costs to historical levels and the inclusion of CCL for the entire year, versus only four months in FY09.

CAA

In FY10, the Companys planting investments totaled R$211.9 million, representing a return to historical levels. Planted area came to 53,600 hectares, versus 28,100 hectares in FY09. Land preparation in as yet unplanted areas is also included in this line.

Inter-harvest maintenance investments totaled R$260.9 million, chiefly due to the addition of the NovAmérica units and the impact of the shorter inter-harvest period, which increased the need for third-party services.

As of this quarter, investments in “Health, Safety & Environment” and Sustaining, which came to R$45.0 million in FY10, will be recognized separately in order to highlight those investments in our units designed to generate gains in efficiency.

The company invested R$30.5 million in mechanization, giving a mechanization ratio of 64.5%.

Various CAA projects absorbed R$174.2 million, mainly consisting of investments in the industrial and agricultural areas, aiming to increase the productivity and efficiency of the companys units.

Energy co-generation investments amounted to R$376.4 million, 15% up on the year before, reflecting the conclusion of certain projects (Copi, Gasa and Rafard), the operational start-up of two major projects (Barra and Bonfim) and the beginning of works in other plants.

Greenfield capex totaled R$462.2 million, associated with the concluding phase of the Jataí (GO) and Caarapó (MS) projects.

Expansion projects absorbed R$133.4 million, related to the expansion of the Costa Pinto, Gasa, Bonfim, Barra, Tamoio, Ipaussu and Junqueira sugar plants, increasing the companys production capacity by approximately 400,000 tones per year.

In June 2009, the Company concluded the acquisition of NovAmérica (for more details, see section G Material Facts).

Rumo

Rumo began investing in locomotives and rolling stock in 4Q10, totaling R$143.8 million in FY10. The company received a BNDES financing line to acquire these assets.


CCL

CCL invested R$87.8 million in improvements to service stations, terminal expansions and renovations. The R$76 million increase over FY09 was mainly due to the inclusion of a full year of the companys investments for the first time in FY10.


F. Effects of the Tax Recovery Program (“Refis”)

The Company entered in the Tax Recovery program set by the Brazilian Government in accordance with law No. 11.941/09 and Provisional Measure MP 470/09. In the scope of these programs, Cosan had reductions in tax liabilities contingent, mainly related to recovery of taxes and federal contributions with IPI credit and IPI credit on purchases of raw material and inputs with zero tax rate, exempt and not exempt, which generated a benefit in the quarter, recognized under other operating revenues, in the amount of R$ 270.3 million. Additionally, this program also enabled the company to use income tax losses credits in the amount of approximately R$ 204 million, to reduce tax obligations that were previously being the subject contest of dispute by the Company. This last benefit, in spite of not impacting the result under the accounting point of view, benefited the Company in the sense that the mentioned tax credits are used only as the Company presents profit according to tax criteria, and is limited to 30% compensation in each annual period.


G. Material Facts

 
● 
In March 2009, Cosan announced a partnership with Nova América Agroenergia S.A. for the merger of the assets related to the sale, logistics and industrial production of sugar and ethanol and energy cogeneration.

● 
By the end of 2009, the Companys first greenfield began operations in the city of Jataí, in Goiás state. With a crushing capacity of 4 million tonnes p.a., the Jataí plant is considered to be among the most modern in Brazil and the world, thanks to its exceptionally high level of automation. Caarapó greenfield also started operating this period, with crushing capacity of approximately 2.5 million tons of cane.

 
● 
On November 24th, the Company acquired a 26.7% of participation in TEAS, an ethanol port terminal in Santos, for the amount of R$20 million, becoming the owner of 66.67% of this societys total and voting capital

 
● 
On December 24, 2009, Rumo Logística notified ALL América Latina Logística S.A. that as of that date the long-term agreements entered into by the two parties in March 2009 were valid and executable in all their terms and conditions, in the form set forth therein. The object of the agreements include the transportation by ALL of bulk sugar and other byproducts, with the expansion of the parties operational capacity through investments of around R$ 1.2 billion in rights of way, yards, rail cars, locomotives and terminals to be realized by Rumo in ALLs network.

● 
In December 2009, Cosan and Amyris announced a partnership to implement Amyris technology in one of the Groups plants to produce high added-value biofuels, involving investments of up to R$ 50 million. In addition to sugar and ethanol, the unit will also be capable of producing a chemical compound resulting from the fermentation of sugarcane juice and yeast. Both companies are still studying the details regarding the implementation and funding of these operations. For Cosan, investments in the development of new renewable energy sources such as biofuels are strategic, and the partnership with Amyris underlines this commitment.

 
● 
On February 1, 2010, Cosan and Shell International Petroleum Company Ltd. entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding, subject to an exclusivity period of
 
 
25 of 31

 
 
 
 
● 
180 days, for the creation of a joint venture (“JV”) combining certain of their respective assets. Cosan would contribute its sugar, ethanol and energy cogeneration businesses, fuel distribution and retail businesses, its ethanol logistics assets and its entire participation in an ethanol trading company. Shell would contribute its fuel distribution and retail businesses (including aviation) in Brazil and its equity stakes in companies involved in the research and development of biomass, including ethanol. Additionally, Cosan would transfer net debt of approximately US$2,524 million to the JV and Shell would, over a period of two years, make a cash capital contribution of approximately US$1,625 million and a contingent contribution, estimated by Cosan at US$300 million, over a period of about 5 years, as additional contribution based on future gains of the Joint Venture. The JV is likely to consist of two separate legal entities: a sugar and ethanol company (upstream), which will focus on the production of sugar and ethanol and co-generation activities, receiving the assets related to this business, and a downstream company, which would conduct the supply, distribution and sale of fuels in Brazil, through network of about 4,500 fuel stations throughout Brazil, and the JV would be the third largest fuels retailer, with strong potential for future growth.

 
● 
On March 15, the Company announced the key executives that will lead this potential Joint Venture and assume their respective positions once the negotiations are concluded and the Joint Venture is formalized. Vasco Dias, the CEO of Shell Brasil, will be the CEO of the JV. Pedro Mizutani will maintain his current responsibilities for sugar and ethanol production and co-generation. Luis Henrique Guimarães will be responsible for the area of Downstream, which covers the Retail, Commercial and Aviation segments. Leonardo Gadotti Filho will be responsible for the Logistics, Supply &Distribution areas. And finally, Carlos Alberto Piotrowski will keep his current responsibilities for managing the Shared Service Center - CAN.

 
● 
On March 24, Rumo announced a logistics project and service agreement involving the transshipment and rail transportation of sugar with São Martinho S.A. The agreement consists of 2 phases: phase 1, which will last until March 31, 2011, and envisages that (i) Usina São Martinho will provide cargo transshipment services involving at least 500,000 tonnes of third-party sugar in its Terminal; and (ii) Rumo will transport 300,000 tonnes of sugar for São Martinho, in addition to the above mentioned third-party volume. Additionally, Rumo will also grant São Martinho the right to hire static storage capacity in its Port of Santos terminals, the respective volumes and conditions of which to be determined every harvest year. In phase 2, São Martinho will make the investments necessary to implement a transshipment terminal and Rumo will be responsible for investing in any eventual adaptations to the rail transportation system to make the transshipment of additional volumes in the terminal of Usina São Martinho possible in 2010 and 2011.

 
● 
On April 28, Rumo received the first 120 of the 729 rail cars that were ordered to Ioschpe Maxion and Randon. Fifty locomotives have also been ordered to GE, which will be delivered starting June 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010, the eleven-month period ended March 31, 2009, and the year ended April 30, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010, the eleven-month period ended March 31, 2009, and the year ended April 30, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Operations

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

Cosan Limited, a company incorporated in Bermuda, is the controlling shareholder of Cosan, holding a 62.27% interest therein as of March 31, 2010 (68.89% as of March 31, 2009). The change in interest was principally related to the issuance of shares for the acquisition of Curupay S.A. Participações (Note 8) and exercise of common stock warrants (Note 17). The class “A” common shares of Cosan Limited are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Bovespa.

The companies included in the consolidated financial statements have as their primary activity the production of ethanol and sugar, the marketing and distribution of fuel and lubricants in Brazil, and logistics services in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

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 outstanding shares of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo Ltda. and its subsidiaries (“Essobrás”), a distributor and seller of fuels and producer and seller of lubricants and specialty petroleum products of ExxonMobil in Brazil. On December 1, 2008 the Company completed the acquisition (see further discussion regarding this acquisition at Note 8). On January 16, 2009 the Company changed the corporate name of Essobrás to Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A. (“Cosan CL”).

On August 29, 2008 the Company held an Annual and Special General Shareholders Meeting and unanimously approved the modification of the end of its fiscal year from April 30 to March 31 of each year. Therefore the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows presented in these financial statements lack comparison to the eleven month period ended March 31, 2009.

On November 24, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Crystalsev Comércio e Representação Ltda and Plínio Nastari Consultoria e Participações Ltda to acquire 26,7% of the outstanding shares of TEAS Terminal Exportador de Álcool de Santos S.A. (“TEAS”). As a result, this increased its ownership percentage from 40.0% to 66.7% of the TEAS’s capital. TEAS operates a port terminal concession in the city of Santos. See further discussion regarding this acquisition at Note 8.

On November 12, 2009, the Company, through its subsidiary Rumo Logística S.A., acquired a 14.28% interest in Logispot, represented by 166,590 common shares, for $11,606 cash. Logispot is a logistics hub and warehouse based in the city of Sumaré.

On February 1, 2010, the Company announced that it, along with Royal Dutch Shell, had reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding, to expire in 180 days, to form a joint venture for a combined 50/50 investment. Cosan will contribute its sugar and ethanol and its distribution assets to the joint venture while Shell will contribute its distribution assets in Brazil. Shell will also make a fixed cash contribution in the amount of US$1,625 billion over a 2 year period. The closing of this transaction is dependent upon the conclusion of the negotiations.

Presentation of the consolidated financial statements

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”), which Cosan uses to prepare its statutory consolidated financial statements as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM (“Comissão de Valores Mobiliários”).

The Brazilian real is the currency of the primary economic environment in which Cosan and its subsidiaries located in Brazil operate, generate and expend cash and is the functional currency, except for the foreign subsidiaries in which U.S. dollar is their functional currency. Cosan utilizes the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The accounts of Cosan are maintained in Brazilian reais, which have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The assets and liabilities are translated from reais to U.S. dollars using the official exchange rates reported by the Brazilian Central Bank at the balance sheet date and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. The translation gain or loss is included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of shareholders’ equity, and in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the period in accordance with the criteria established in ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”.

The exchange rate of the Brazilian real (R$) to the US$ was R$1.7810=US$1.00 at March 31, 2010, R$2.3152=US$1.00 at March 31, 2009 and R$1.6872=US$1.00 at April 30, 2008.

b.
Revenue recognition

Cosan recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer. This is date of shipment when shipped FOB shipping point and date of receipt by customer for certain export sales, which are shipped FOB destination. Selling prices are fixed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Revenue for fuel distribution is recognized when products are delivered to the service station or customer. Provision is made for estimated returns.

Shipping and handling costs are classified as selling expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The shipping and handling costs as of March 31, 2010 amounted to US$179,956 (US$162,927 as of March 31, 2009 and US$165,016 as of April 30, 2008).

Sales incentives on fuel distribution are volume-based incentives and are recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Sales revenue includes taxes collected from customers in the amount of US$420,780 as of March 31, 2010 (US$219,933 as of March 31, 2009 and US$125,848 as of April 30, 2008).

 
c.
Advertising and sales promotion costs

Advertising and sales promotion costs: are recognized when incurred and amounted to US$25,027 as of March 31, 2010 (US$4,079 as of March 31, 2009 and US$1,284 as of April 30, 2008).

 
d.
Use of estimates

The preparation of 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.

e.
Cash and cash equivalents

Cosan considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Excess cash and cash equivalents are invested in short-term, highly liquid money market funds.

 
f.
Restricted cash

The restricted cash amounts are related to deposits of margin requirements with commodities brokers that trade Cosan’s derivative instruments.

 
g.
Trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at estimated net realizable value and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded at an amount considered sufficient to cover estimated losses arising on collection of accounts receivable.

 
h.
Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market through average cost of production or acquisition. Cost for finished goods and work-in-progress includes purchased raw materials, labor, maintenance costs of growing crops, depreciation of major maintenance costs and manufacturing and production overhead, which are related to the purchase and production of inventories.

During the development period of growing crops, costs are recorded in property, plant and equipment. After the development period, annual maintenance costs of growing crops become a portion of the cost of the current-year crop, along with harvesting costs, depreciation of the plants, and allocated overhead costs. Annual maintenance costs include cultivation, spraying, pruning, and fertilizing. The annual maintenance costs are allocated to cost of production based on the amount of sugarcane milled during the harvest period.

Cosan’s harvest period begins between the months of March and April each year and ceases normally in the months of November and December. From January to April Cosan performs its major maintenance activities, as described at item j below.

i.
Investment in affiliated companies

Investments in affiliates in which Cosan exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method.

 
j.
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, including interest incurred on financing. During the period of construction, costs include land preparation, plants, preparation of planting beds, stakes and wires, cultural care during the development period, and overhead. Amortization of sugarcane plants is calculated using the straight-line method at a rate of 20% per annum as Cosan harvests these plants during a five-year average period.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at rates that take into account the estimated useful life of the assets: 25 years for buildings; 10 years for machinery and equipment; 7 years for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment; 5 years for vehicles; 25 years for leasehold improvements; and 5 years for sugarcane plant development costs.

Cosan performs planned major maintenance activities in its industrial facilities on an annual basis. This generally occurs during the months from January to March, with the purpose to inspect and replace components. The annual major maintenance costs include labor, material, outside services, and general or overhead expense allocations during the inter-harvest period. Cosan utilizes the built-in overhaul method to account for the annual costs of major maintenance activities. Thus the estimated cost of the portion of the total cost of a fixed asset which must be replaced on an annual basis is recorded as a separate component of the cost of fixed assets and depreciated over its separate estimated useful life.  It is then replaced in connection with the annual major maintenance activities. Costs of normal periodic maintenance are charged to expense as incurred since the parts replaced do not enhance or maintain the crushing capacity or provide betterments to the fixed assets.

Significant accounting polices (Continued)

 
j.
Property, plant and equipment (Continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value.

 
k.
Asset retirement obligations

Retirement of long-lived assets is accounted for in accordance with ASC 410,“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. The retirement obligations of the subsidiary Cosan CL relate to the legally required obligation to remove underground fuel tanks upon retirement, the initial measurement of which is recognized as a liability discounted to present values and subsequently accreted  through earnings. An asset retirement cost equal to the initial estimated liability is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

 
l. 
Goodwill and other intangible assets

Cosan tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 
m.
Environmental matters

Cosan’s production facilities and its plantation activities are both subject to environmental regulations. Cosan diminishes the risks associated with environmental matters, through operating procedures and controls and investments in pollution control equipment and systems. Cosan believes that no provision for losses related to environmental matters is currently required, based on existing Brazilian laws and regulations.

n.
Estimated liability for legal proceedings and labor claims

Determination of the estimated liability for legal proceedings and labor claims involves considerable judgment on the part of management. In accordance with ASC 450, “Accounting for Contingencies”, a contingency is an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss to an enterprise that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Cosan is subject to various claims, legal, civil and labor proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Cosan accrues such liabilities when it determines that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The balances are adjusted to account for changes in circumstances in ongoing issues and the establishment of additional reserves for emerging issues. Actual results could differ from estimates.

 
o.
Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards.

In accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in financial expenses.

Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings (losses) per share

Earnings (losses) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting average outstanding shares for the impact of conversion of all potentially dilutive options.

 
q.
Share-based compensation

Cosan’s share based compensation plan, which was adopted on August 30, 2005, is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, “Share-Based Payments”, which requires it to recognize expense related to the fair value of its share-based compensation awards. Compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and the expense has been recognized for share based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For purpose of estimating the fair value of options on their date of grant, Cosan uses a binomial model.

 
r.
Derivative financial instruments

Cosan accounts for derivative financial instruments utilizing ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. As part of Cosan’s risk management program, it uses a variety of financial instruments, including commodity futures contracts, forward currency agreements, interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts and option contracts. Cosan recognizes all derivative instruments as non-hedge transactions.  The derivative instruments are measured at fair value and the gains or losses resulting from the changes in fair value of the instruments are recorded in financial income or financial expense.

Fair Value Measurements

On May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Recently adopted accounting standards

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

In September 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The authoritative guidance mentioned in these financial statements includes the applicable ASC reference.

Subsequent Events

The Company adopted ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, which established general accounting standards and disclosure for subsequent events, during the year ended March 31, 2010.

Noncontrolling Interests

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which changed the accounting for and the reporting of an entity’s minority ownership.  Such minority ownership, previously referred to as minority interest, is now referred to as noncontrolling interests. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest and classified in the mezzanine outside of shareholders’ equity, to a separate component of shareholders’ equity titled “Noncontrolling Interests” in the consolidated balance sheets and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). 

Additionally, net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests are shown separately from consolidated net income and comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as required by ASC 810.

 
u.
New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which will require companies to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies and information on purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R), included in ASC Subtopic 810-10, Consolidations — Overall. This guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities by requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and addresses concerns regarding the timely and usefulness of information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, with early application prohibited. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio, through its 90% owned subsidiary, Copsapar Participações S.A., which owns 100% of Novo Rumo Logística S.A. (“Novo Rumo”), acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (“Teaçu”) from Rezende Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (“Rezende Barbosa”) for $52,985 cash and issuance of 90,736,131 shares of Novo Rumo, equivalent to 28.82% of its share capital.

Acquisitions (Continued)

a. Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (Continued)

The purchase price to acquire Teaçu was allocated based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company obtained an independent valuation of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, long-term debt, and internally determined the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The initial purchase price allocation has been adjusted primarily as a result of refinements in the Company’s assumptions relating to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other assets and liabilities. These adjustments have resulted in a change in the determination of the amounts of deferred taxes upon the completion of the valuation. As a result of these changes, goodwill, as previously disclosed, has been changed as follows:

Provisional goodwill
    102,052  
Intangible assets – port concession granted by the government
    (138,424 )
Adjustments of fair value of PP&E
    (4,193 )
Adjustments of fair value of other assets and liabilities

b. Curupay S.A. Participações

On June 18, 2009, Cosan S.A. acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Curupay S.A. Participações from Rezende Barbosa, through the issuance of 44,300,389 common shares valued at $7.25 per share (fair value at the acquisition date) and a total consideration transferred of US$321,087.  The assets acquired include the non-controlling interest in Novo Rumo representing 28.82% of its outstanding shares which were issued in the Teaçu acquisition, and 100% of the outstanding shares of two operating companies, Nova América S.A. Trading and Cosan Alimentos (collectively referred to as “Nova América”). Nova América is a producer of sugar, ethanol and energy co-generation and also operates in trading and logistics.

With the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest of Novo Rumo, Cosan S.A. increased its share ownership in Novo Rumo to 92.88%. This transaction was a change in ownership interest without a loss of control and accounted for as a transaction in shareholders’ equity.

e. Cosan CL ( formerly Essobrás)

On December 1, 2008, Cosan and its subsidiary Usina da Barra S.A. Açúcar e Álcool (“Usina da Barra”), through Cosan’s subsidiary Cosanpar Participações Ltda. (“Cosanpar”), acquired, for US$714,353 cash and US$8,289 in transaction costs, 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Cosan CL, a distributor in Brazil of oil products, ethanol, lubricants, and aviation fuel as well as an operator of convenience stores. The network of service stations to which Cosan CL distributes such products is comprised of more than 1,500 service stations. The results of Cosan CL operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

As additional consideration for the purchase, Cosan will pay to the sellers as a contingent payment an amount based on a percentage of gross revenues of Cosan CL and other amounts based on the quantity of barrels of some ExxonMobil products sold during a 10 year period. These contingent payments will be recorded as additional cost of the acquired entity when the contingency is resolved.

The liabilities assumed in the acquisition include Notes issued by Cosan CL on December 16, 1999 and December 10, 1999 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated December 8, 1999, as amended, in the aggregate principal amount of US$175,000, plus accrued interest on such amount which was held by ExxonMobil Capital N.V.

From March 1992 until December 2001 Cosan CL did not pay the COFINS tax levied on sales or this tax was paid and used to offset or otherwise applied against other taxes on the sale of fuels and other oil derivatives which have been discussed with the taxing authorities. During this period Cosan CL has made judicial deposits, which are restricted cash placed on deposit with the court and are held in judicial escrow for certain COFINS cases. The sellers have agreed to indemnify Cosan for any COFINS matters and any losses related thereto if Cosan CL loses these proceedings. If Cosan CL wins the proceedings, Cosan must pay the judicial deposits and related interest to the sellers. Provision for contingencies net of judicial deposits in the amount of US$18,468 related to this matter, is included in net assets acquired.

Accounts receivable from Federal Government

The subsidiary Cosan Açúcar e Álcool 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 in 2007. 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 continues to be negotiated with the government.

At March 31, 2010, the receivable and corresponding lawyers’ fees totaled US$187,385 and US$22,486 (US$139,700 and US$16,764 at March 31, 2009), respectively.

On May 27, 2009 and October 13, 2009, Law 11.941 and MP 470 were approved by the Brazilian government creating a tax recovery program, permitting the taxpayer to settle its federal tax debts, previous recovery programs, and other federal taxes under court discussions with discounts on previously charged penalties and interest and in installments.

Additionally, it was permitted for the taxpayer to offset a portion of the penalties and interest due with its balance of income tax loss carry forwards. MP470 also allowed taxpayers to use tax losses to offset the principal balance related to IPI taxes (credit premium, Note 15).

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 March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to US$133,039 and US$91,717, respectively, and considered as restricted cash and are classified as other non-current assets.

Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations:

   
March 31,
2010
   
March 31,

Discount rate
    11.08 %     9.20 %
Rate of compensation increase

Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets
    10.48 %     10.59 %
Rate of compensation increase
    6.07 %     5.56 %

The discount rate is determined using bond portfolios with an average maturity approximating that of the liabilities or spot yield curves, both of which are constructed using high-quality, local-currency-denominated bonds. The expected long-term rate of return is based on the portfolio as a whole and not on the sum of the returns on individual asset categories.

The accumulated benefit obligation is as follows:

Investment strategy and policies:

The pension plan management implemented an asset investment policy to manage the investments and risk concentration of the Plan.

The investment policy establishes principles and guidance that must be followed in investing the resources of the plan. The Company’s investment goals are to maximize returns subject to specific risk management policies, with a philosophy of investment based on a long term perspective.

Its risk management policies permit investments only in fixed income and equity securities.

The Investment Committee is responsible by the tactical decisions about resource allocations and modifications of the investment policy.

The investment in equity securities is targeted to be approximately of 25% of the investment portfolio, with the remaining amount invested in fixed income securities and funds. This target could change depending on the market conditions. The limits of allocation are determined based on the characteristics of the population of participants of the pension plan and actuarial target.

The Company and its subsidiaries used accumulated tax losses to pay the related fines and interest. Consequently there was a full reduction of the claims related to IPI tax credit, as well as the installment payment of other federal taxes, that were recorded as Taxes Payable (note 11).

On May 27, 2009, the 1st and 3rd paragraphs of Brazilian Law No 9718/98 that regulated the collection of PIS and Cofins (federal tax contributions) on exchange variation and other financial income was revoked by Law No 11941/09. The Company evaluated its ongoing judicial demands related to the legal obligations not paid related to the increase in the calculation basis of PIS and Cofins and reversed the related provision at the amount of US$30,213.

 
(iii)
From June to December of 1994, the subsidiary Cosan CL used tax credits on COFINS taxes based on a favorable court ruling and compensated with other federal taxes. During 2008 the federal tax authorities in Brazil issued an assessment invalidating such compensation and therefore a provision related to this matter was recorded.

Commitments

Sales

Considering that Cosan operates mainly in the commodities market, its sales are substantially made at prices applicable at sales date, and therefore, there are no outstanding orders with amounts involved. However, Cosan has several agreements in the sugar market in which there are commitments of sales involving volumes of these products in future harvest periods.

The commitments to sell sugar by harvest period are as follows (unaudited):

Purchase

Cosan has entered into several commitments to purchase sugarcane from third parties in order to guarantee part of its production for the next harvest periods. The amount of sugarcane to be purchased was calculated based on an estimation of the sugarcane to be harvested in each geographic area. The amount to be paid by Cosan will be determined for each harvest period at the end of such harvest period according to price of the sugarcane published by CONSECANA.

Income taxes (Continued)

In assessing the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. There is no expiration term for the net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Cosan will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at March  31, 2010, as well as the net operating loss carry forwards. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

As of March 31, 2010, Cosan and its subsidiaries have consolidated net operating loss carry forwards for income tax and social contribution tax losses of US$488,176, and US$495,189, respectively. Income tax losses carry forwards and social contribution tax losses may be offset against a maximum of 30% of annual taxable income earned from 1995 forward, with no statutory limitation period.

Cosan accounts for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainly in Income Taxes”. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as noncurrent taxes payable, is as follows:

On April 18, 2008, parent company Cosan Limited announced its acceptance of the total Company shares of shareholders submitted in connection with the Share Acquisition Voluntary Public Offering (“OPA – Oferta Pública de Aquisição de Ações”) through the exchange of BDRs for Class A shares issued by Cosan Limited. After conclusion of the auction held on that date, 18,232,812 common shares of the Company, representing 6.7% of its total common shares, were submitted for exchange. With the OPA, the parent company, Cosan Limited, became the holder of 62.8% of the Company’s total common shares.

On September 19, 2008, the board of directors approved a capital increase of US$456,084 through issuance of 55,000,000 previously unissued registered common shares without par value in a private subscription at an issuance price of US$8.29 each. The subscribers of each new share also received one Subscription Warrant (Warrant) which resulted in 55,000,000 Warrants being issued. Each Warrant grants its holder the right to subscribe 0.6 common shares, with the distribution of fractional shares not being permitted. Therefore, the Warrants issued permit the holders to purchase 33,000,000 shares.  The Warrants were valid from their issue date to December 31, 2009. The exercise price of each amount of Warrants which totals one share is US$8.29 per share. As of December 31, 2009, 49,987,552 Warrants were exercised, the remaining 12,448 warrants expired.

October 22, 2008 was the deadline to exercise the right of capital subscription, approved in the meeting of the board of directors on September 19, 2008. Since a large number of the minority shareholders did not exercise their preemptive rights, Cosan Limited, the controlling shareholder, subscribed for and paid up 54,993,482 common shares valued at US$456,034, and the minority shareholders subscribed for and paid up 6,518 common shares, valued at US$50. As a result, Cosan Limited increased its holding of company’s common shares from 171,172,252 to 226,165,734. This increased their ownership percentage from 62.81% to 69.05% of the Company’s capital.

On March 6, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a capital increase of US$1,945 through issuance of 736,852 new common shares, with no par value, for purposes of meeting the needs of the Stock Option Plan, due to exercise of such options by qualifying executives.

On December 22, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a capital increase of US$78,647 through issuance of 8,072,976 new common shares, with no par value, at an issue price of US$9.00, due to the exercise of subscription warrants by Cosan Limited and other holders. Cosan Limited exercised 5,403,560 subscription warrants which resulted in an issuance of 3,242,136 new common shares and other holders exercised 8,051,400 subscription warrants which resulted in an issuance of 4,830,840 new common shares. As a result, Cosan Limited increased its holding of company’s common shares from 249,919,687 to 253,161,823, which increased their ownership percentage from 62.89% to 63.19% of the Company’s capital.

On December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a capital increase of US$10,772 through issuance of 1,081,552 new common shares, with no par value, at an issue price of US$9.00, due to exercise of subscription warrants by the holders. This decreased Cosan Limited’s ownership percentage from 62.27% of the Company’s capital.

On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a capital increase of US$174 through issuance of 17,000 new common shares, with no par value, for purposes of meeting the needs of the Stock Option Plan, due to exercise of such options by qualifying executives.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s capital is represented by 406,560,317 common shares (328,284,884 as of March 31, 2009), with no par value.

Treasury stock

Over the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company acquired 343,139 common shares from dissident shareholders related to a prior acquisition. These shares are held in treasury.

Shareholders’ equity (Continued)

 
b.
Appropriated retained earnings

The Brazilian Corporate law and Cosan’s by-laws require that annual appropriations be made to certain reserves (appropriated retained earnings). These comprise mainly 5% of net income (statutory accounts) that must be transferred to a legal reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of capital stock under Brazilian GAAP. The legal reserve can only be used to increase share capital or offset net losses.

 
c.
Dividends

According to Cosan’s by-laws, shareholders are entitled to minimum compulsory dividends of 25% of the year’s net income, adjusted in accordance with article 202 of Law 6404/76 (Brazilian Corporate Law). For the year ended March 31, 2010 the minimum mandatory dividends were calculated as follows:

   
2010
 
Net income under Brazilian GAAP
    528,611  
(Less) Compensation of accumulated losses
    (265,608 )
(Plus) Foreign exchange gain
    12,577  
      275,580  
(Less) Legal reserve – 5%
    (13,779 )
      261,806  
Dividends payable
    65,451  

Management has also proposed dividends above the minimum compulsory at the amount of US$46,845 which is subject to approval by the shareholders.

 
d.
Retained earnings

Brazilian law permits the payment of dividends only in reais, limited to the unappropriated retained earnings of company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law.

The devaluation of the real impacts the amount available for distribution when measured in U.S. dollars. Amounts reported as available for distribution in our statutory accounting records prepared under accounting principles set forth under Brazilian Corporate Law will decrease or increase when measured in U.S. dollars as the Real depreciates or appreciates, respectively, against the U.S. dollar.

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 treasury shares held by Cosan related to 3.25% of the share capital at the time, authorized by the annual/extraordinary meeting. The remaining 1.75% remained 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.

According to the market value on the date of issuance, the exercise price is US$2.64 (two dollars and sixty four 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.

On August 7, 2009, the board of directors approved an additional distribution of stock options, in connection with the stock option plan mentioned above, corresponding to 165,657 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan. Such options were issued without a vesting period; therefore, the intrinsic value at grant date was the basis for calculating the fair value of the options, at US$9.82 per option, and an expense of US$1,071 was fully recorded by the Company.

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

Share-based compensation (Continued)

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:

   
Options granted on September 22, 2005
   
Options granted on September 11, 2007
   
Options granted on August 7, 2009
 
Grant price - in U.S. dollars
    3.43       3.43       3.43  
Expected life (in years)
    7.5       7.5    
Immediate
 
Interest rate
    14.52 %     9.34 %     (1 )
Expected Volatility
    34.00 %     46.45 %     (1 )
Expected Dividend yield
    1.25 %     1.47 %     (1 )
Weighted-average fair value at grant date - in U.S. dollars
    6.93       10.22       (1 )

 
(1)
The options were fully vested at the date of issuance so the fair value was the quoted market price as of the grant date.

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, whose turnover is low.

Expected Volatility – For the options granted on September 22, 2005 Cosan had its shares publicly-traded for less than 6 months as of April 30, 2006. Therefore, Cosan 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. For the options granted on September 11, 2007 Cosan used the volatility of its shares as an assumption in its valuation model since Cosan’s IPO in Brazil, in 2005.

Share-based compensation (Continued)

Expected Dividends – As the Company is a relatively new public entity, the expected dividend yield was calculated based on the current value of the stock at the 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 - Cosan bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Binominal Model valuation method on the implied yield currently available on SELIC - Special System Settlement Custody, which is the implied yield currently available on zero-coupon securities in Brazil.

As of March 31, 2010, the amount of US$1,662 related to the unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized in 6 months.

Risk management and financial instruments

 
a.
Risk management

The commodity and foreign exchange rates price volatilities are the main market risks to which Cosan and its subsidiaries are exposed. Cosan 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.

 
b.
Price risk

Cosan carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to sugar price variations in the foreign market. Such transactions generally assure an average minimum income for future production. Cosan 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. Cosan 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).
 
 
c.
Foreign exchange risk

Cosan carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to foreign exchange rate variations on exports. Foreign exchange derivative transactions combined with commodity price derivatives generally assure an average minimum income for future production. Cosan 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. Cosan operates mainly through futures contracts over BM&F (“Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo”) and in the over-the-counter segment with leading institutions.

Additionally, Cosan has also engaged in currency and interest rate swap operations for charges associated to Senior Notes, from the U.S. dollar exchange rate variation plus interest of 9% p.a. to 81% of CDI.

Risk management and financial instruments (Continued)

 
d.
Interest rate risk

Cosan monitors fluctuations of the several interest rates linked to its monetary assets and liabilities and, in the event of increased volatility of such rates, it may engage in transactions with derivatives so as to minimize such risks. During 2010 Cosan entered into swap contracts to exchange fixed to Libor interest rate in order to protect against variations in the Libor on certain loan contracts.

 
e.
Credit risk

A significant portion of sales made by the Company and its subsidiaries is intended for a selected group of highly qualified counterparties, such as trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains. In connection with the fuel distribution activity, a diversified customer portfolio, in addition to following up on the sales financing terms by business segment and their individual credit limits, are procedures adopted by the Company to minimize overdue accounts receivable and defaults. Credit risk is managed through specific rules of client acceptance, credit rating and establishment limits for customer exposure, including, when applicable, requirement of letters of credit from a top rated bank and obtaining security interest on credits granted. Management considers that the credit risk is substantially covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company and its subsidiaries historically do not record material losses on trade accounts receivable.

 
f.
Debt acceleration risk

As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, Cosan was a party to loan and financing agreements with covenants generally applicable to these operations, regarding cash generation, debt to equity ratio and others.  These covenants are being complied with by Cosan and do not place any restrictions on its operations as a going-concern.

Estimated market values

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each main class of financial instruments:

 
Accounts receivable and trade accounts payable: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values.

 
Short-term and long-term debt and advances from customers: Except when there are published market prices, the market values of loans and financing were calculated based on their present value calculated through the future cash flows and using interest rates applicable to instruments of similar nature, terms and risks or based on the market quotation of these securities.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Cosan’s financial instruments at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Deferred gain on sale of investments in subsidiaries

 
Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A. is a subsidiary whose principal assets are land used for the growing of sugarcane for Cosan. On December 15, 2008, the shareholders approved a partial spin-off of the assets of Ponte Alta and created four new subsidiaries.  Agricultural land was then transferred from Ponte Alta to each of the entities. On December 30, 2008, two of the entities, Nova Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A. and Terras da Ponte Alta S.A. were sold to Radar, an affiliate company accounted for by the equity method. The selling price was fair value, US$123,596, which resulted in a gain of US$47,080. This gain has previously been deferred since there were no lease contracts executed for the land, which was being used by Cosan for a monthly fee.  Over the year ended March 31, 2009 the lease contracts were executed, and the gain is being amortized since then to profit and loss over the 19 year average term of the leases.

 
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company has amortized a gain of US$3,394 related to this sale-leaseback transaction.


23.
Fair value measurements

Effective May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, the ASC 820 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. ASC 820 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 ASC 820 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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

Fair value measurements (Continued)

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.

Derivatives
 
Cosan uses 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, foreign currency swaps and commodity forward contracts.

Segment information (Continued)

 
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 operating and 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. The operations of these segments are based solely in Brazil.
 
In 2010, in connection with some management changes and realignment of the business, management has combined the Sugar and Ethanol segments into the Sugar and Ethanol (S&E) segment.  This change reflects the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the business and allocates resources. The S&E segment mainly operates and produces a broad variety of sugar and ethanol products.  These products are produced in the same facilities using the same basic raw material – sugarcane.  The plants have the flexibility of being configured to produce either of the two finished products which provides management the ability to adjust production based on market demand. Disclosures relating to this operating segment also include the revenues of the two major products.  The prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the combination of the Sugar and Ethanol Segments.
 
Additionally, the current year acquisition of Teaçú and Curupay and their combination with the Novo Rumo business has resulted in a new operating segment that is called Sugar Logistics (RUMO).
 
Following is a description of the operating segments of the business.

Segment information (Continued)
 
 
a.
Segment information (continued)
 
The Sugar and Ethanol (“S&E”) segment produces and sells a broad variety of sugar and ethanol products.
 
The sugar products include raw (also known as very high polarization - VHP sugar), organic, crystal and refined sugars, which are sold 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” and “União” branded products.  The ethanol products include fuel ethanol and industrial ethanol. Cosan’s principal fuel ethanol products are hydrous and anhydrous. Hydrous ethanol is used as an automotive fuel and anhydrous (which has a lower water content than hydrous ethanol) is used as an additive in gasoline.  The fuel ethanol products are 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).  In addition, S&E segment sells also liquid and gel ethanol products used mainly in the production of paint and cosmetics and alcoholic beverages for industrial clients in various sectors. The S&E segment includes also the co-generation activities and most of corporate activities.
 
The Fuel Distribution and Lubricants (“CCL”) segment is engaged in the distribution in Brazil of fuel products, derived from petroleum or ethanol, and lubricants as well as the operation of convenience stores. The network to which the fuel distribution segment distributes such products is comprised of approximately 1,700 fuel stations.
 
The Sugar Logistics (“Rumo”) segment provides logistics services for the transport, storage and port lifting of sugar for both the S&E segment and third parties.
 
The accounting policies underlying the financial information provided for the segments are based on Brazilian GAAP. We evaluate segment performance based on information generated from the statutory accounting records.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
March 31, 2010
 
In compliance with legal and statutory provisions, Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio submits for appreciation by its shareholders the Management Report and relevant Financial Statements, together with the Opinion of the Independent Auditors, relative to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The Financial Statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (US GAAP), expressed in U.S. dollars, are available in the Investors Relations section of our site www.cosan.com.br. The Company also makes available a detailed version of the Financial Statements and its release on results on site www.cosan.com.br/ri.

On account of the alteration of fiscal year 2009, which brought forward its closing date to March 31, 2009, the periods for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 are mismatched, i.e., fiscal year 2009 consists of only 11 months, for the interval from May 2008 to March 2009, while fiscal year 2010 comprises the 12 months from April 2009 to March 2010;

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
 
This fiscal year was marked by the consolidation and alteration of the strategy of diversification of the business model implemented in the previous year. After more than one year since the acquisition of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo (presently named CCL – Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A.) we can present the results obtained and the benefits secured from implementation of a new fully-integrated business platform. With the well-defined and solid business model, Cosan has positioned itself to capture any opportunities that could arise and to differentiate itself from competitors through its competitive edges.

With a vision of growth, but without losing focus on sustainability, in these six months Cosan has been able to (i) increase its crushing capacity with the acquisition of NovAmérica (currently named CAL – Cosan Alimentos) and the start-up of the greenfield

projects (Jataí and Caarapó), (ii) advance in its plan of investment in co-generation of energy using cane bagasse, (iii) increase its presence in the logistics segment, with the creation and commencement of activities of Rumo Logística, and (iv) through execution of a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Shell, thereby enabling itself to become the most efficient player in the distribution of fuel in Brazil.

The acquisition of the Cosan Alimentos mills in the first quarter of 2010 increased our crushing capacity by 10 million tons of cane, provided better exposure to the domestic sugar market, principally with the portfolio of the UNIÃO brand, in a year when sugar attained historical record prices. In addition, Cosan also acquired NovAmérica’s participation of 28.2% at Rumo Logística, increasing its stake to approximately 93%.

The energy co-generation project continued to be implemented in the course of this fiscal year, so that the next crop year can be initiated with the new co-generation units ready to commence sale of energy through contracts that have been executed. These new units are expected to more than double the generation of cash in the co-generation segment, which will help to reduce the volatility of our future sugar and ethanol – CAA - results, increasing their predictability.

The process of organic growth initiated with the construction of a new mill, Jataí, in the State of Goiás, showed Cosan’s capability of expanding sugarcane frontiers beyond the State of São Paulo, with state-of-the- art and modern technology and with efficiency well above the national average. Cosan also concluded the Greenfield acquired from NovAmérica, located in the city of Caarapó, in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul.

The new business, named Rumo Logística, positions Cosan as the principal sugar logistics player in Brazil. In addition to coping with one of the main infrastructure bottlenecks in Brazil, Cosan will be able to offer a service with quality, efficiency and competitive costs to all Brazilian sugar producers, through a partnership with ALL in rail transportation of bulk sugar and other sub-products. The new railcars and locomotives purchased by Rumo Logística are among the most modern in the world and will be able to carry up to approximately 11 million tons of sugar, when the expected investments are completed in 2013.

The signing of the memorandum of understanding between Cosan and Shell demonstrates that we are following the correct strategy. The new joint venture (“JV”) still needs to have

its terms approved and defined by both companies and by the pertinent regulating agencies, in addition to completion of the due diligence process by both parties. The businesses in which Cosan operates and that will be part of the Joint Venture are sugar and ethanol, including operations of energy co-generation, distribution and commercialization of fuel, the ethanol logistics assets and the totality of its equity participation in a company that commercializes ethanol, totaling assets to be contributed estimated at US$4,925 million. Cosan will contribute to the JV net debts amounting to approximately US$2,524 million. In consideration, Shell will contribute to the JV its fuel distribution and commercialization assets in Brazil (retail and aviation) and its participation in companies involved with research and development of use of biomass, including ethanol. Furthermore, Shell will effect within two years a cash capital contribution amounting to approximately US$1,625 million and a contingent contribution estimated by Cosan at US$300 million, in the course of a period of approximately 5 years, on account of additional input based on future earnings of the joint structure.

The challenges for the next fiscal year are even greater, principally after closing of the joint venture with Shell. The new integration and management processes will capture major synergies in all of our business units. The quest for an even more efficient company that can assure its sustainable growth, providing increasingly cleaner energy for people’s lives will continue to guide us throughout the next year.

Market and Sector Overview
 
According to UNICA, the sugarcane growers’ association, crushed cane volume in Brazil’s central-south region totaled 541.9 million tonnes in the 2009/10 crop, 7.3% up compared to the previous harvest. Sugar production increased by 7.3% to reach 28.6 million tonnes, while ethanol output dropped by 5.6% to 23.7 billion liters, of which hydrous ethanol accounted for 17.5 billion liters and anhydrous ethanol for 6.2 billion liters, an increase of 3.8% and decrease of 24.8%, respectively, in relation to the previous harvest. This reflects the crop shortfall due to record level of rains during the crop, when the weather is usually dry, which not only decreased the number of crushing days but also the sucrose content of the total sugar recoverable (TSR) in the cane to 130.25 kg/t, compared to 140.88 kg/t in the previous harvest. In addition, due to increase in sugar prices in the international market during the crop, the production mix continued to prioritize sugar (42.6%) compared to the previous year.

UNICA estimates that the total crushed cane volume for the 2010/11 crop will reach 595.9 million tonnes in Brazilian Central-South region, which, combined with an improve of TSR to 138.59 kg/t and 43.29% of cane towards sugar production, maintaining the production mix more focused on sugar compared to last year’s, will result in 34.1 million tonnes of sugar, 20.1 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 7.3 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 19.1%, 15.4% and 16.2%, respectively. These projections are mainly the result of (i) greater agricultural productivity (tonnes of cane / hectare) due to the higher level of rains during the planting and growth of sugarcane, despite such adverse effects as the orange rust of sugarcane, which may affect certain cane varieties and the aging of the field; (ii) higher yield of sucrose (TSR) in the cane as a result of a more favorable weather conditions for harvesting and maturing of the cane, despite the higher volume of cane left on the field, anticipation of the beginning of harvest and the evolution of mechanical harvesting; and the (iii) increase in crushing capacity as result of the startup of 10 new mill units and ramp-up of the harvesting area of those that started operating in the previous harvests, effect that started to vanish due to the lower investment level compared to the peak in 2007 and 2008 in the sector.
 
The latest UNICA data indicate an increase of crushed cane volume in beginning of 2010/11 crop, until May 16th, totaling 93.9 million tones, 27.1% higher on the same period in the last crop, mainly due to the advance of sugarcane harvest. The production mix in the period continues to prioritize sugar to attend the contracts which could not be performed last year, being 41.9% of production directed to this product and 58.1% for ethanol. Sugar production reached 4.4 million tonnes, an increase of 38.7% than last crop, while ethanol output stood at 3.8 billion liters, with 2.9 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 829 million liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 11.5% and 74.6%, respectively.
 
In this quarter, raw sugar prices averaged 24.52 US¢/lb, 92.8% up over 4Q09 and 3.6% up over 3Q10. It is important to note the variation of prices in the period: after rallying in January, when sugar price reached 29.9 US¢/lb, the highest in 29 years, prices dropped by 44.5% until the end of the quarter. The downward trend continued, reaching the lowest point of 13.67 US¢/lb in the beginning of May, 54.3% down from the peak in January.
 
This can be explained by some factors: (i) export of 500,000 tonnes of out-of-quota sugar to the European Union, as mentioned in the last Financial Letter; (ii) export of nearly 1 million tonnes of sugar from Brazil in the quarter, which was not expected by the market based on the estimates of initial inventories for the harvest; (iii) the recovery and extension of the Indian crop, which usually ends in March and was estimated between 13 and 15 million

tonnes. In May, there were still several mills processing cane, with new estimates between 18 and 19 million tonnes; (iv) the deferral of demand in response to the higher prices; (v) the prospect of better weather conditions for the 2010/11 crop in Brazil and India, resulting in more optimistic sugar production estimates ranging from 32-35 to 24-25 million tonnes, respectively.
 
On the other hand, world sugar inventories are much lower compared to historical levels and need to be recomposed. Moreover, there are several uncertainties concerning the crop in some countries, for example: (i) in Brazil and India, if the weather conditions are not as adequate as expected, production will be lower than expected; (ii) the announcement by the Pakistani government of its intention to buy approximately 900,000 tonnes; (iii) potential imports from China to recompose strategic inventories, given that these were released to curb inflation in the domestic market after a bad crop; (iv) the possibility that the United States will allow additional raw sugar imports to meet domestic demand.
 
International refined sugar prices partially followed the downward trajectory of raw sugar prices, dropping by 37.6% in 61 days. The average price in the period was US$659.15/t, 75.5% and 7.4% up over 4Q09 and 3Q10, respectively. Due to the lack of sugar for refining, mainly because Brazil is in the inter-harvest period, the white premium averaged US$118.58/t.
 
In 4Q10, the Brazilian real depreciated against the U.S. dollar to average R$1.80/US$, 3.6% up from the previous quarter. In the quarter, the Real reached R$1.87/US$, due to the initial signs of an economic slowdown in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The foreign exchange rate at the end of the period was R$1.78/US$, compared with R$1.74/US$ in December 2009 and R$2.32/US$ in March 2009.
 
Domestic crystal sugar prices (ESALQ) averaged R$70.80/50Kg bag (or 35.65 US¢/lb) in 4Q10, 22.8% up compared to the previous quarter and 63.7% up on 4Q09. These prices reflect the lower sugar availability due to the rainy season and strong exports during the harvest, which amounted to 19.8 million tonnes (from April/09 to March/10).
 
In response to the previously mentioned factors and the macroeconomic conditions, major hedge funds, plus smaller funds and speculators, who had built positions in the commodity due to its solid fundamentals, quickly reduced their long sugar positions, helping with the decline in sugar prices. At the end of 4Q10, the net long position stood at 158,000 lots, or 15.8% of open contracts, 30.2% down from the previous quarter.

In the domestic market, the lower availability of ethanol due to the accelerated demand in 2009 (increase in flex fuel cars sales) and the reduced supply due to the rainy harvest, resulted in a significant increase in prices of both anhydrous and hydrous ethanol. Hydrous ethanol prices (ESALQ) averaged R$1.041/liter in 4Q10, 40.8% up YoY and 9.7% up over 3Q10. Anhydrous prices averaged R$1.188/liter, 43.1% higher than 3Q09 and 8.6% up on the previous quarter.
 
According to Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the average hydrous ethanol/gasoline price parity (weighted by the size of the fleet) closed 69% at the end of 4Q10, returning to below 70% parity in 6 states, which account for more than 50% of Brazil’s flex-fuel fleet. Between February and May 1st, 2010, the anhydrous ethanol blend ratio in gasoline reduced from 25% to 20%, yet anhydrous ethanol consumption remained unchanged compared to February and March 2009, once gasoline consumption increased significantly as ethanol prices were above parity during most of the period.
 
According to ANFAVEA, the auto manufacturers’ association, flex-fuel vehicle sales in Brazil totaled 652,700 units in 4Q10, accounting for 87% of new car sales, 16.1% up year-on-year.
 
 According to ANP, Diesel sales in the first three months of 2010 totaled 11.1 billion liters, 12.7% up year-on-year. Gasoline A volume increased by a significant 29.7% in the period, with 5.9 billion liters sold, as ethanol prices were above parity and percentage of anhydrous ethanol blended in gasoline decreased. For these same reasons, ethanol consumption dropped by 24.7% in the period to reach 2.8 billion liters.

Sugar Sales - CAA
 
Sugar sales totaled R$3.4 billion, 87.1% more than the year before. The main factors contributing to the R$ 1.6 billion increase were:
 
 
Þ
Record international and domestic prices, 28.9% and 54.4% above previous year which have contributed with gains of approximately R$ 453.5 million and R$ 127.3 million, respectively;
 
 
Þ
The higher  sugar volume sold, resulted in an additional revenues of R$640.5 million. This increase in volume can be explained by: (i) NovAmerica consolidation; (ii) the higher share of sugar in the product mix; (iii) the reduction in carryover stocks; and (iv) the distortion in the comparison with the previous year, which had only 11 months.

Rumo
 
In FY’10, Rumo concluded its first year jointly operating the Cosan Portuária and Teaçú terminals and began transportation operations through a partnership agreement with ALL, with total net revenues of R$158.2 million. Loading volume grew by 131.4% over FY’09, from 3.5 million to 8.1 million tonnes, 34.6% of which (or 2.8 million tonnes) being service to Cosan. This result was achieved because of the merger with Teaçú, NovAmérica’s former terminal, and higher productivity due to synergies and improvements in operational processes.
 
The average loading price increased by 13.0% over FY’09 to R$17.50/ton.
 
The transportation agreement entered into with ALL became valid and executable in 4Q’10, generating additional revenue of R$16.1 million in this quarter.

Fuel Sales – CCL
 
CCL’s recorded FY’10 net revenue of R$ 10.1 billion, 226.6% up on the previous year, given that only four months of this company’s results were consolidated in FY’09, as mentioned previously. Fuel segment revenue totaled R$ 9.4 billion, up by 226.1%. The main factors contributing to the net revenues achieved in FY’10 were:
 
 
Þ
Ethanol sales of 803.2 million liters, reflecting record vehicle licensing volume between April 2009 and March 2010, 88% of which flex-fuel vehicles;
 
 
Þ
Higher ethanol prices in the inter-harvest period, which not only benefited hydrous net revenue, but also resulted in an upturn in gasoline sales volume. This was because ethanol prices were above 70% parity with gasoline prices in many Brazilian sates, causing some flex-fuel owners to switch from ethanol to gasoline, whose prices are higher (average of R$2,207/m3 in FY’10 versus R$942/m3 of ethanol);
 
 
Þ
The acquisition of new corporate clients, who accounted for an additional 210 million liters of Diesel in FY’10, beyond the Diesel volume sold to CAA.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
 
COGS totaled R$13.2 billion, versus R$5.5 billion in the previous year. This substantial upturn reflected the 12-month consolidation of fuel and lubricant distribution, which added R$ 9.4 billion to annual COGS, versus R$2.9 billion in the previous year, when only four months of this business unit were consolidated. In addition, CAA’s COGS increased by 60.5%, chiefly due to higher sales volume, sugar sourcing activities, higher costs for sugar cane acquired from third parties, the poor harvest and the reduction in TRS, the last two due to excess rainfall in the harvest period.

The cost of goods sold and services rendered totaled R$4.1 billion, accompanying sugar and ethanol sales growth and reflecting the merger of NovAmérica and the strong impact of the upturn in the TSR price (due to higher sugar prices in Brazil and abroad) and the reduction in TSR mainly due to adverse weather conditions throughout the harvest.
 
The R$1.5 billion increase results from the 19.1% upturn in average unit sugar costs and the 11.6% rise in average unit ethanol costs, was chiefly due to:
 
 
Þ
The increase in sugar sourcing (purchase of the raw material to be refined and product for subsequent resale and distribution on the domestic market), a
 
 
18

traditional NovAmerica practice, whose margins are lower and which had an impact of R$61 million;
 
 
Þ
The increase of 25.5% in the average TSR price, as calculated by Consecana, from R$0.2772/Kg of TSR to R$0.3492/Kg of TSR, which pushed up the cost of land leased and sugarcane acquired from suppliers, adding approximately R$260 million;
 
 
Þ
The effect of lower concentration in the TSR itself (cane sucrose content), from 139.0kg/ton of sugar cane to 129.8kg/ton, surpassed the gains in efficiency in the process of mechanization of the harvest, leading to additional costs of R$180 million;
 
 
Þ
Thanks to excessive rainfall, there were less effective crushing days. Consequently, 3.3 million tonnes of cane which were expected to be processed were left in the fields, generating an impact on the dilution of fixed agricultural costs (planting, treatment and leasing);
 
 
Þ
Despite the harvesting difficulties, CLT costs (cutting, loading and transport) has not increased benefited from the mechanical harvest which accounted for 64.5% of the total harvest, stood at R$6.25/tonne of cane, cheaper than manual CLT costs.
 
Rumo
 
Rumo’s COGS totaled R$115.5 million, including loading and transportation costs, the latter consisting of costs from transshipment, road and rail freight and storage.
 
The variable part of the loading costs refer mostly to stevedore expenses, port tariffs and electric power, while the fixed part refers to operational labor, equipment rental, port leasing costs and maintenance.

 
CCL
 
CCL’s average COGS recorded a decline of R$32/m3 in FY’10, or 2%, lower than FY’09, primarily due to the reduction in Petrobrás’ Diesel price and lower lubricant costs due to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar. The reduction of the average unit cost quoted
 
 
19

 
 
COSAN S.A. INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO
 
Management Report

above occurred despite the upturn in the inter-harvest ethanol costs, which affected not only hydrous costs but also those of gasoline C, due to the mandatory gasoline mix with anhydrous ethanol. In addition, between February and April 2010, the ratio was reduced from 25% to 20% turning even more expensive the cost of gasoline C.
 
Gross Profit
 
As a result, the Company recorded a FY’10 gross profit of R$2.1 billion, an increase of 165.9% compared to the previous year, with a gross margin equivalent to 13.9%. The ethanol margin recovered throughout the harvest, reaching breakeven at the close of the year. On the other hand, sugar recorded a positive margin of 37.4%, partially benefiting from the increase in international prices and sugar’s greater share of domestic sales. In addition, CCL’s gross unit margin moved up by R$26/m3 to R$137/m3.

CAA
 
Excluding the effects from the NovAmerica merger, CAA recorded selling expenses of R$373.1 million,17.4% higher than the previous year, chiefly due to the following factors:
 
 
Þ
The higher sugar exports caused an increase in freight and loading expenses of around 14.4%.
 
 
Þ
The increase of 28% in the volume of ethanol exports, which pushed up selling expenses by R$11.5 million.
 
 
Þ
Certain initiatives throughout the year to improve the efficiency of make the domestic sales management, including a reduction in retail commissions and bonuses through the revision of sales contracts and agreements in the case of sugar, and the elimination of less profitable accounts.
 
Rumo
 
Given the nature of its business, Rumo has no selling expenses.
 
CCL
 
CCL’s selling expenses are mostly related to salaries and benefits, freight from product deliveries, maintenance, repairs and environmental expenses and marketing. It is worth noting that this fiscal year was characterized by investments in marketing, maintenance and repairs, in order to improve the image of the service stations, increase brand exposure and give more visibility to ethanol.
 

General and Administrative Expenses
 
G&A expenses totaled R$497.2 million, representing 3.2% of FY’10 net revenue, a hefty 80.2% up on the R$275.9 million recorded in FY’09, primarily due to the entry of NovAmérica (R$23.7 million), 12 months of expenses from CCL (R$92.7 million) and Teaçu consolidation by Rumo.

G&A expenses came to R$386.3 million, 57.4% higher than in FY’09, chiefly due to the entry of NovAmérica. The integration of NovAmérica’s systems only took place in the second half of 4Q’10, so its full effects will only be reflected as of 1Q’11. Excluding this impact, G&A expenses increased by 47.8%, due to the following factors:
 
 
Þ
Increase of around R$42.0 million due to the provisioning of management and employee bonus payments;
 
 
Þ
Upturn of around R$20.0 million in expenses from consulting services, due to projects such as the Shared Services Center (CAN), the implementation of EVA and various other IT projects, a non-recurring events;
 
 
Þ
Approximately R$11.0 million from the pay rise following the collective bargaining agreement and increase in other general expenses, such as travel expenses driven by geographic dispersion from our current different offices sites;
 
 
Þ
Fine of R$3.5 million levied by ANEEL due to breach of an electricity supply contract by the Paraúna unit.

Rumo’s G&A expenses amounted to R$18.1 million, primarily related to the salaries and benefits, security, insurance and consulting services.
 
CCL
 
CCL’s G&A expenses totaled R$92.7 million, jeopardized by the following non-recurring effects: (i) R$6.7 million from adjustments due to the transition to the CAN; (ii) additional profit-sharing and bonus provisions of R$5.0 million; (iii) additions to legal proceeding reserves totaling R$1.2 million.

Depreciation and amortization totaled R$584.7 million, 43.1% more than the R$408.6 million reported in FY’09, due to heavy investments in order to increase production efficiency through agricultural mechanization, co-generation and industrial improvements, as well as investments in increasing crushing capacity of the new plants (greenfield units). If this non-cash effect is excluded from operating costs and expenses, CAA recorded EBITDA of R$1.4 billion, chiefly due to the following:
 
 
Þ
Adherence to the REFIS program, which generated a positive impact of R$270.3 million, as explained in section F below;
 
 
Þ
Non-operating revenue resulting from a capital gain of R$93.1 million due to the sale of the aviation fuel business. In December 2008, Cosan S.A. acquired CCL through its subsidiary Cosanpar Participações, which sold this division in June 2009 for R$115.6 million. The difference between this amount and the amount booked under property, plant and equipment related to the aviation fuel business were

Non-operating expenses of R$29.9 million from the merger of Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A.
 
Rumo
 
Rumo recorded EBITDA of R$42.8 million in FY’10, showing an EBITDA margin of 27.0%. It is worth noting that the company recorded R$9.4 million in other operating income from dispatch/demurrage, take or pay and storage services, and a non-recurring non-operating expense of R$5.4 million from accounting adjustments arising from the merger of Teaçú. The depreciation and amortization for the period were R$14.2 million.
 
CCL
 
Excluding the non-cash impact of depreciation of R$37.5 million, CCL posted FY’10 EBITDA of R$332.0 million, with a margin of R$59/m3, or 3.3% EBITDA margin versus 2.1% for the previous year, due to the upturn in diesel, ethanol and gasoline sales volume, wider gasoline, diesel and lubricant unit margins, and the capture of logistics synergies from the merger with CAA.
 
Financial Result
 
The FY’10 net financial result was a positive R$420.4 million, versus a negative R$817.4 million in the previous year, chiefly fueled by the impact of the exchange variation on dollar-denominated debt, which was positive by R$559.0 million in FY’10 and negative by R$573.7 million in FY’09.
 
The exchange impact was in turn mainly due to the 37% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Real in FY’09 (R$1.6872/US$ x R$2.3152/US$) and the contrary effect in FY’10, when the dollar fell by 23.1% against the Real (R$2.3152/US$ x R$1.7810/US$). The foreign-currency debt has also been increasing in recent years, having closed FY’08, FY’09 and FY’10 at R$1.6 billion, R$2.3 billion and R$3.6 billion, respectively.

EBITDAH
 
EBITDAH totaled R$2.1 billion, versus R$1.7 billion for EBITDA before hedge operations. As can be seen in the graph below, the net hedge result was a positive R$330.9 million, versus a positive R$47.7 million in FY’09. FX derivatives generated a gain of R$517.2 million, helping to mitigate the negative impact of the dollar devaluation on revenue from dollar-denominated sales. Commodities derivatives recorded a loss of R$186.2 million, versus a gain of R$64.0 million in FY’09, reflecting the recovery of international sugar prices throughout most of 2010.

Income Tax
 
In this fiscal year, Cosan S.A. income tax expenses amounted R$433 million out of which R$355 million were deferred. This result represented an effective tax rate of 30.7% on earnings before taxes (compared to 34% of nominal rate), which reflects both common permanent additions and exclusions and positive impact from specific exclusions from the Tax Recovery Program, described below. In the previous year, we had a positive impact of income tax (R$235 million) as result of losses before taxes on that period and the resulting in deferred tax credits.

Net Income
 
Cosan posted FY’10 net income of R$986.5 million, versus a net loss of R$473.8 million the year before, fueled by the positive impact of higher sales volume and prices on all segments of the business, which pushed up the gross margin by R$1.3 billion, the effect of the exchange variation on dollar-denominated debt and the benefits from the Refis program.

FINANCIAL SITUATION
 
Cosan closed FY’09 with gross financial debt of R$5.3 billion (excluding Resolution 24711), 42% up on the R$3.7 billion recorded at the end of FY’09 and just 3.3% up on the R$5.2 billion posted at the close of 3Q’10.
 
In November 2009, the Company implemented several measures to improve its debt profile, including full settlement of the promissory notes, the 209 senior notes, bank credit certificates and debentures, the last two resulting from the acquisition of NovAmérica and the contracting of: (i) US$ 430 million in export repayments, maturing in 5 years; (ii) US$ 100 million in export credit notes (NCEs), maturing in 3 years; (iii) R$ 300 million in export credit certificates (CCE), maturing in 2 years; and (iv) the disbursement by the BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) of part of the funding for Jataí and Gasa.
 
In 4Q’10, the Company opted to prepay financing of R$90 million with the IFC due to its high cost, given that a portion is linked to the Group’s operating cash flow. In addition, the BNDES disbursed R$123.4 million in new contracted loans and the Company contracted additional FINAME funding of around R$100.0 million, for machinery and equipment purchases. In the 4Q’10, a loan named “Proinfa” has been reclassified to the BNDES line as well as for part of the FINAME loan amounting to approximately R$40.0 million.
 
 
 

1 As disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Resolution 2471 debt is pegged to Brazilian treasury certificates acquired by the Company and recognized under current and non-current assets. Consequently, this debt was excluded from the analysis of indebtedness.

CAA
 
In FY’10, the Company’s planting investments totaled R$211.9 million, representing a return to historical levels. Planted area came to 53,600 hectares, versus 28,100 hectares in FY’09. Land preparation in as yet unplanted areas is also included in this line.
 
Inter-harvest maintenance investments totaled R$260.9 million, chiefly due to the addition of the NovAmérica units and the impact of the shorter inter-harvest period, which increased the need for third-party services.
 
As of this quarter, investments in “Health, safety and the environment & prevention”, which came to R$45.0 million in FY’10, will be recognized separately in order to highlight those investments in our units designed to generate gains in efficiency.
 
The company invested R$30.5 million in mechanization, giving a mechanization ratio of 64.5%.

Various CAA projects absorbed R$174.2 million, mainly consisting of investments in the industrial and agricultural areas, aiming to increase the productivity and efficiency of the company’s units.
 
Electricity co-generation investments amounted to R$376.4 million, 15% up on the year before, reflecting the conclusion of certain projects (Copi, Gasa and Rafard), the operational start-up of two major projects (Barra and Bonfim) and the beginning of works in other plants.
 
Greenfield capex totaled R$462.2 million, associated with the concluding phase of the Jataí (GO) and Caarapó (MS) projects.
 
Expansion projects absorbed R$133.4 million, related to the expansion of the Costa Pinto, Gasa, Bonfim, Barra, Tamoio, Ipaussu and Junqueira sugar plants, increasing the company’s production capacity by approximately 400,000 tones per year.
 
In June 2009, the Company concluded the acquisition of NovAmérica (for more details, see section G – Material Facts).
 
Rumo
 
Rumo began investing in locomotives and rolling stock in 4Q’10, totaling R$143.8 million in FY’10. The company received a BNDES financing line to acquire these assets.
 
CCL
 
CCL invested R$87.8 million in improvements to service stations, terminal expansions and renovations. The R$76 million increase over FY’09 was mainly due to the inclusion of a full year of the company’s investments for the first time in FY’10.
 
EFFECTS OF THE TAX RECOVERY PROGRAM (“REFIS”)
 
The Company entered in the Tax Recovery Program set by the Brazilian Government in accordance with law No. 11.941/09 and Provisional Measure MP 470/09. In the scope of these programs, Cosan had deductions in tax liabilities contingent, mainly related to recovery of taxes and federal contributions with premium IPI credit and IPI credit on purchases of raw material and inputs with zero tax rate, exempt and not exempt, which generated a benefit in the FY’10, recognized under Other Operating Revenues, in the

amount of R$ 270.3 million. Additionally, this program also enabled the company to use income tax losses credits in the amount of approximately R$ 204 million, to reduce tax obligations that were previously being the subject contest of dispute by the Company. This last benefit, in spite of not impacting the result under the accounting point of view, benefited the Company in the sense that the mentioned tax credits are used only as the Company presents profit according to tax criteria, and is limited to 30% compensation in each annual period.
 

RETAINED EARNINGS PROPOSAL
It will be proposed, at Cosan S.A. General Shareholders’ Meeting that will take place on July 30th, 2010, that Retained Earnings amount R$266.3 million, being partially designated for the Company’s annual investment program, established on the FY’11 Budget that will also be analyzed and approved at above mentioned General Shareholders Meeting.

 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In 2002 we established a partnership with the University of Campinas – UNICAMP to develop a system of geographical information, aiming at improvement of the monitoring of our crops. Through this partnership we have developed a tool that monitors the sugar cane crops using satellite images. The system provides subsidy for conduction of more precise production estimates, in addition to generating extremely detailed information concerning the general conditions of our cane fields, which gives us the opportunity of enhancing the procedures for management of agricultural cultures. Presently we monitor all of the land areas where we produce sugarcane, whether on our own land or on leased areas or suppliers’ areas.

We have established service agreements with the following technological institutes for development of new varieties of sugarcane: Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (Sugarcane Technology Center), or CTC, of which we are the majority shareholder; Federal University of São Carlos – UFSCAR and Instituto Agronômico de Pesquisa (Agronomics Research Institute), or IAC. The CTC is a private institution intended for research and development of new technologies for agricultural, logistics and industrial activities, as well as for creation of new varieties of sugarcane. The CTC developed the biodegradable plastic (PHB) and biological alternatives for control of plagues. Furthermore, it created the VVHP sugar (with

extremely high polarization), which requires less energy to be processed, and also developed the co-generation technology. We analyze the best forms for possible use of our varieties of sugarcane in view of the different soil and climatic conditions of the five main regions of the State of São Paulo.

We have maintained an agreement with CanaVialis S.A. (“CanaVialis”) since June 2006, to provide to Cosan a program of genetic enhancement of sugarcane specifically developed for our mills. The Company has been obtaining benefits from its support service and from the use of its bio-plant, which allows us to reduce the time that is necessary for production of seedlings and provides for us access to new and improved varieties of sugarcane by means of its genetic enhancement program. In 2006 CanaVialis implemented an experimental station at our Destivale unit, which conducts tests of new species of sugarcane specially selected for Cosan’s production structure.

We analyze and develop, together with our suppliers and partners, different types of input, machinery and agricultural implements used to facilitate and improve the cultivation of sugarcane, considering also the different conditions of our soil. We share this technology with sugarcane suppliers so that they can obtain better sugarcane yields and quality.

In December 2009 the partnership between Cosan and Amyris was announced, which aims at implementation of Amyris technology in one of the mills of the group for production of biofuels with high added value. With an investment of up to R$50 million, in addition to producing sugar and ethanol the unit will be also able to produce farnasene, a chemical component that results from fermentation of sugarcane syrup with yeasts. The partnership is still in a phase of study of the implementation and obtainment of capital for investment. For Cosan, the development of new sources of renewable energy, such as the biofuels, is strategic, and this work with Amyris is part of this context.


PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Oriented by principles of eco-efficiency, the operations of the Cosan Group are regulated by environmental licenses issued by the various pertinent authorities of the States in which we are present. Our units seek to develop and implement management systems that are recognized worldwide.

Either together with government agencies or in a segregated form, the Company conducts a number of actions with a positive impact on the ecosystem of the communities of its area of influence. Among these actions are the reforesting of ciliar vegetation, ichthyologic repopulation of rivers, recovery of water springs, programs for forest firefighting, implementation of green belts around the industrial units, environmental, landscaping and urbanism recovery of rivers, as well as projects for recovery of hydrographic basins. Cosan’s environmental policy has sought to always observe the following principles: (i) environmental management as a priority and determinant factor for conduction of sustainable development; (ii) continual adjustment to applicable environmental legislation; (iii) adoption of recommendations that result from environmental preservation technical/scientific advancements; and, (iv) use of resources in a way that can assure integration and equilibrium between environmental protection and agricultural/industrial development.

Following its policy, jointly with another three partners Cosan announced the conduction in June/08 of the first international shipment of ethanol with a socio-environmental seal and with verification of important sustainability criteria. The transaction, shipment of which had Sweden as its destination, is the result of a pioneering agreement executed between Cosan and other ethanol producers with Swedish corporation Sekab, the most important buyer of Brazilian ethanol in Europe. The agreement is an initiative of the companies involved in the transaction, aimed at taking the first step in a process of continual improvement, with the purpose of serving one of the most demanding consumers in the world. It is important to stress that the mills were able to meet the requirements of the European consumer without altering their current operating practices.

The major innovation of this agreement is the formal establishment of a process of certification by means of an international and independent company, which will conduct auditing at all of the production units twice-a-year, in order to verify compliance with the following established criteria: (i) reduction of emission of carbon dioxide; (ii) minimum levels of harvest mechanization; (iii) commitment to preservation of the areas of native forest; (iv) zero tolerance for child and non-regulated labor; (v) observance of the minimum wages of the sector; and (vi) adhesion to and compliance with the targets established by the Agro-Environmental Protocol.

In this way, the companies show evidence of compliance with labor laws, respect for environmental norms and also strengthen their commitment to adjustment to the rules of

Joint Venture with Shell

In February 2010 the Company executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding, valid for 180 days, with Shell International Petroleum Company Ltd. ("Shell"), by which they plan to create a joint venture involving the sugar, ethanol and fuel distribution assets of the Company and the fuel distribution assets of Shell in Brazil. Formalization of this agreement is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions and conclusion of the negotiations.


PERSPECTIVES

The new fiscal year promises to be one of major challenges for all of the Cosan business units. The joint venture with Shell must have its negotiations completed and its terms approved by the regulating agencies. Rumo Logística has an ambitious plan of conduction

of investments, while the co-generation of energy is expected to have 10 units producing and delivering energy.

During this year the fuels distribution sector will have a major opportunity for growth and for obtainment of important synergies through the joint venture with Shell. Once the joint venture is approved, a number of measures related to integration of the assets and consequent corporate restructuring will be necessary. The joint venture will permit obtaining volume gains that, together with the logistics and administrative operating synergies, will create all of the opportunities for the new company to become the most efficient in the sector.

Rumo Logística has declared that as from January 2010 the agreements with ALL became valid and enforceable in all of their covenanted terms and conditions. Thus, the investments plan of approximately R$1,2 billion will continued to be implemented so as to increase the capacity of rail transport of bulk sugar and its sub-products, from the present 2 million tons to approximately 11 million by 2013, securing new customers, motivating them to migrate from highway transportation to the railway modal, which is more efficient, economical and integrated with the port services.


In the area of trading energy from sugarcane bagasse (co-generation) we will have major advancements with the start-up of new production units (Barra, Bonfim, Jataí and Caarapó), which during this harvest will start trading surplus energy, so as to perform their contractual obligations established by means of prices negotiated in the energy auctions that have been held.

The sugar and ethanol segment will continue to offer major opportunities for growth and consolidation, mainly from the prices cycle of the sugar commodity, which is entering a worldwide surplus phase, after 2 consecutive years of deficit. Furthermore, this year, after execution of the joint venture with Shell, we will be well capitalized and with low leverage in order to select the best deals in the M&A market, contributing to increased consolidation of the sector. In addition, the processes of continual enhancement and the quest for efficiencies in our production costs, in the existing and acquired units, will continue to guide us.

For all of this, we expect this year to take an important step towards our mission of offering increasingly cleaner energy for peoples’ lives, without losing our focus on being a world benchmark in terms of clean and renewable energy.

In order to ensure transparency of management and of its businesses, for the benefit of shareholders and investors, the Company relies on a policy of disclosure of information that establishes rules and procedures for persons who are linked to the Company (executives and employees) who have access to relevant information and facts, and defines the criteria, the moment and the party responsible for disclosure of such information to the investors, in order to assure that the data for the market are distributed in an ample, transparent and homogenous form.


The Company’s equity controller was the first Foreign Private Investor (FPI) in the sector that it operates to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In this way, the Company implemented the internal controls procedures with the aim of adapting to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Law (SOX), based on the methodology established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) for internal controls. The Company adjusted to Section 302 of the same Law, which determines that executive officers must represent that they are responsible for the controls and procedures for disclosure of information. The Company has been continually enhancing its internal processes and ratifying its commitment to better Corporate Governance practices.

Board of Directors – Our board of directors is the body that takes the decisions and is responsible for, among other incumbencies, establishing the general guidelines and policies of our business. Our board of directors is also responsible for supervision of our executive board and for monitoring implementation by the executive officers of the policies and guidelines that are established from time to time by the board of directors. The Cosan Board of Directors consists of nine members, of whom three are independent. On August 29, 2008 the members of the Board of Directors of the Company were reelected in an Annual Shareholders’ Meeting for a new term of office.

guidelines established from time to time by our board of directors.

Members of our risk management committee are Mr. José Alexandre Scheinkman (Chairman), Marcelo Eduardo Martins and Marcos Marinho Lutz. Additionally, we have also established an Executive Committee of Risks, formed by a member of the Board and several executives of the Company. The Executive Committee meets weekly to analyze the behavior of the exchange and commodity markets, to discuss the positions of hedging and pricing strategy for the sugar’s export, to reduce the adverse effects of changes in sugar prices and the exchange rate as well as monitoring the liquidity and counterparty (credit) risks. Our policy is to hedge the cash flow’s exposure to the risks described above mainly by means of natural hedge. For exposures that can not be considered as natural hedge, we use derivative financial instruments, including futures contracts, swaps and options in OTC markets, stock exchanges or financial institutions with high ratings.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OUTSIDE AUDITORS

In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 381/03, we inform that the other services contracted with our independent auditors – Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. and their related parties, during the current fiscal year, were related to review of the internal controls, review of the sustainability report and other services related to auditing work and that had no implication for the principle of independence described in the above paragraph.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cosan Limited
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010, the eleven-month period ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended April 30, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cosan Limited and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010, the eleven-month period ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended April 30, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), Cosan Limited's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 10, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Operations
 
Cosan Limited (“Cosan” and “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, the marketing and distribution of fuel and lubricants in Brazil, and logistics services in the state of São Paulo, 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 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 a pooling of interests.
 
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.

Presentation of the consolidated financial statements
 
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which differs in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil ( “Brazilian GAAP”), which Cosan S.A. uses to prepare its statutory consolidated financial statements as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM ( “Comissão de Valores Mobiliários”).
 
The functional currency and the reporting currency of Cosan is the U.S. dollar. The Brazilian real is the currency of the primary economic environment in which Cosan S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil operate and generate and expend cash and is the functional currency, except for the foreign subsidiaries in which U.S. dollar is the functional currency. However, Cosan S.A. utilizes the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The accounts of Cosan S.A. are maintained in Brazilian reais, which have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”. The assets and liabilities are translated from reais to U.S. dollars using the official exchange rates reported by the Brazilian Central Bank at the balance sheet date and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. The translation gain or loss is included in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity, and in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the period in accordance with the criteria established in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”.
 
The exchange rate of the Brazilian real (R$) to the U.S. dollar (US$) was R$1,7810=US$1.00 at March 31, 2010, R$2.3152=US$1.00 at March 31, 2009 and R$1.6872=US$1.00 at April 30, 2008.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)
 
 
e. Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cosan considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Excess cash and cash equivalents are invested in short-term, highly liquid money market funds.
 
f. Restricted cash

g. Trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
 
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at estimated net realizable value and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded at an amount considered sufficient to cover estimated losses arising on collection of accounts receivable.

Cost for finished goods and work-in-progress includes purchased raw materials, labor, maintenance costs of growing crops, depreciation of major maintenance costs and manufacturing and production overhead, which are related to the purchase and production of inventories.
 
During the development period of growing crops, costs are recorded in property, plant and equipment. After the development period, annual maintenance costs of growing crops become a portion of the cost of the current-year crop, along with harvesting costs, depreciation of the plants, and allocated overhead costs. Annual maintenance costs include cultivation, spraying, pruning, and fertilizing. The annual maintenance costs are allocated to cost of production based on the amount of sugarcane milled during the harvest period.
 
Cosan’s harvest period in Brazil begins between the months of March and April each year and ceases normally in the months of November and December. From January to April Cosan performs its major maintenance activities, as described at item j below.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)
 
i. Investment in affiliated companies
 
Investments in affiliates in which Cosan exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method.
 
j. Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, including interest incurred on financing. During the period of construction, costs include land preparation, plants, preparation of planting beds, stakes and wires, cultural care during the development period, and overhead. Amortization of sugarcane plants is calculated using the straight-line method at a rate of 20% per annum as Cosan harvests these plants during a five-year average period.
 
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method at rates that take into account the estimated useful life of the assets: 25 years for buildings; 10 years for machinery and equipment; 7 years for furniture, fixtures and computer equipment; 5 years for vehicles; 25 years for leasehold improvements; and 5 years for sugarcane plant development costs.
 
Cosan performs planned major maintenance activities in its industrial facilities on an annual basis. This generally occurs during the months from January to March, with the purpose to inspect and replace components. The annual major maintenance costs include labor, material, outside services, and general or overhead expense allocations during the inter-harvest period. Cosan utilizes the built-in overhaul method to account for the annual costs of major maintenance activities. Thus the estimated cost of the portion of the total cost of a fixed asset which must be replaced on an annual basis is recorded as a separate component of the cost of fixed assets and depreciated over its separate estimated useful life. It is then replaced in connection with the annual major maintenance activities. Costs of normal periodic maintenance are charged to expense as incurred since the parts replaced do not enhance or maintain the crushing capacity or provide betterments to the fixed assets.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)
 
k. Asset retirement obligations
 
Retirement of long-lived assets is accounted for in accordance with ASC 410 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. The retirement obligations of the subsidiary Cosan CL relate to the legally required obligation to remove underground fuel tanks upon retirement, the initial measurement of which is recognized as a liability discounted to present values and subsequently accreted through earnings. An asset retirement cost equal to the initial estimated liability is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.
 
l. Goodwill and other intangible assets
 
Cosan tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter after the annual forecasting process is completed. Furthermore, goodwill is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
m. Environmental matters
 
Cosan’s production facilities and its plantation activities in Brazil are both subject to environmental regulations. Cosan diminishes the risks associated with environmental matters, through operating procedures and controls and investments in pollution control equipment and systems. Cosan believes that no provision for losses related to environmental matters is currently required, based on existing Brazilian laws and regulations.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)
 
n. Estimated liability for legal proceedings and labor claims
 
Determination of the estimated liability for legal proceedings and labor claims involves considerable judgment on the part of management. In accordance with ASC 450, “Accounting for Contingencies”, a contingency is an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss to an enterprise that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Cosan is subject to various claims, legal, civil and labor proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Cosan accrues such liabilities when it determines that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The balances are adjusted to account for changes in circumstances in ongoing issues and the establishment of additional reserves for emerging issues. Actual results could differ from estimates.
 
o. Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards.
 
In accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.
 
The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in financial expenses.
 
Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Significant accounting policies (Continued)
 
p. Earnings (losses) per share
 
Earnings (losses) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting average outstanding shares for the impact of conversion of all potentially dilutive options.
 
q. Share-based compensation
 
Cosan S.A.’s share based compensation plan, which was adopted on August 30, 2005, is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, which requires it to recognize expense related to the fair value of its share-based compensation awards. Compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and the expense has been recognized for share based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For purpose of estimating the fair value of options on their date of grant, Cosan S.A. uses a binomial model.
 
r. Derivative financial instruments
 
Cosan accounts for derivative financial instruments utilizing ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. As part of Cosan’s risk management program, it uses a variety of financial instruments, including commodity futures contracts, forward currency agreements, interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts and option contracts. Cosan recognizes all derivative instruments as non-hedge transactions. The derivative instruments are measured at fair value and the gains or losses resulting from the changes in fair value of the instruments are recorded in financial income or financial expense.

s. Fair Value Measurements
 
On May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial assets and liabilities items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
t. Recently adopted accounting standards
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification
 
In September 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The authoritative guidance mentioned in these financial statements includes the applicable ASC reference.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Company, adopted ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, which established general accounting standards and disclosure for subsequent events, during the year ended March 31, 2010.

Noncontrolling Interests
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which changed the accounting for and the reporting of an entity’s minority ownership. Such minority ownership, previously referred to as minority interest, is now referred to as noncontrolling interests. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest and classified in the mezzanine outside of shareholders’ equity, to a separate component of shareholders’ equity titled “Noncontrolling Interests” in the consolidated balance sheets and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).
 
Additionally, net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests are shown separately from consolidated net income and comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as required by ASC 810.
 
u. New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which will require companies to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies and information on purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2010-06 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R), included in ASC Subtopic 810-10, Consolidations — Overall. This guidance is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities by requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and addresses concerns regarding the timely and usefulness of information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, with early application prohibited. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions
 
a. Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A.
 
On April 9, 2009, Cosan S.A., through its 90% owned subsidiary, Copsapar Participações S.A., which owns 100% of Novo Rumo Logística S.A. (“Novo Rumo”), acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (“Teaçu”) from Rezende Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (“Rezende Barbosa”) for $52,985 cash and issuance of 90,736,131 shares of Novo Rumo, equivalent to 28.82% of its share capital. Teaçu holds a port concession in the city of Santos and operates a terminal dedicated to exporting sugar and other agricultural products. This acquisition combines the Santos port operations previously held separately by Cosan S.A. and Teaçu.
 
As a result of this transaction, Cosan S.A. reduced its indirect share ownership in Novo Rumo to 64.06%.
 
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $167,303, which consisted of the following:
 
Cash

Acquisitions (Continued)
 
a. Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (Continued)
 
The purchase price to acquire Teaçu was allocated based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company obtained an independent valuation of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, long-term debt, and internally determined the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The initial purchase price allocation has been adjusted primarily as a result of refinements in the Company’s assumptions relating to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other assets and liabilities. These adjustments have resulted in a change in the determination of the amounts of deferred taxes upon the completion of the valuation. As a result of these changes, goodwill, as previously disclosed, has been changed as follows:
 
Provisional goodwill
    102,052  
Intangible assets – port concession granted by the government
    (138,424 )
Adjustments of fair value of PP&E

b. Curupay S.A. Participações
 
On June 18, 2009, Cosan S.A. acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Curupay S.A. Participações from Rezende Barbosa, through the issuance of 44,300,389 common shares valued at $7.25 per share (fair value at the acquisition date) and a total consideration transferred of US$321,087. The assets acquired include the non-controlling interest in Novo Rumo representing 28.82% of its outstanding shares which were issued in the Teaçu acquisition, and 100% of the outstanding shares of two operating companies, Nova América S.A. Trading and Cosan Alimentos (collectively referred to as “Nova América”). Nova América is a producer of sugar, ethanol and energy co-generation and also operates in trading and logistics.
 
With the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest of Novo Rumo, Cosan S.A. increased its share ownership in Novo Rumo to 92.88%. This transaction was a change in ownership interest without a loss of control and accounted for as a transaction in shareholders’ equity of Cosan S.A.

Accounts receivable from Federal Government
 
The subsidiary Cosan Açúcar e Álcool 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 in 2007. 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 continues to be negotiated with the government.
 
At March 31, 2010, the receivable and corresponding lawyers’ fees totaled US$187,385 and US$22,486 (US$139,700 and US$16,764 at March 31, 2009), respectively.

Taxes payable (Continued)
 
On May 27, 2009 and October 13, 2009, Law 11.941 and MP 470 were approved by the Brazilian government creating a tax recovery program, permitting the taxpayer to settle its federal tax debts, previous recovery programs, and other federal taxes under court discussions with discounts on previously charged penalties and interest and in installments.
 
Additionally, it was permitted for the taxpayer to offset a portion of the penalties and interest due with its balance of income tax loss carry forwards. MP470 also allowed taxpayers to use tax losses to offset the principal balance related to IPI taxes (credit premium, Note 15).
 
During the year, Cosan S.A. and subsidiaries joined the tax recovery program and the following effects were recorded:

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 March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 amounted to US$133,039 and US$91,717, respectively, and considered as restricted cash and are classified as other non-current assets.

e) Actuarial assumptions
 
Assumptions used for the actuarial calculations were as follows:
 
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations:
 
   
March 31,
   
March 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Discount rate
    11.08 %     9.20 %
Rate of compensation increase
    6.07 %     5.56 %
 
Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost:
 
   
March 31,
2010
   
March 31,
2009
 
Discount rate
    11.08 %     9.20 %
Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets
    10.48 %     10.59 %
Rate of compensation increase
    6.07 %     5.56 %
 
The discount rate is determined using bond portfolios with an average maturity approximating that of the liabilities or spot yield curves, both of which are constructed using high-quality, local-currency-denominated bonds. The expected long-term rate of return is based on the portfolio as a whole and not on the sum of the returns on individual asset categories.
 
The accumulated benefit obligation is as follows:

g) Investment strategy and policies:
 
The pension plan management implemented an asset investment policy to manage the investments and risk concentration of the Plan.
 
The investment policy establishes principles and guidance that must be followed in investing the resources of the plan. The Company’s investment goals are to maximize returns subject to specific risk management policies, with a philosophy of investment based on a long term perspective.
 
Its risk management policies permit investments only in fixed income and equity securities.
 
The Investment Committee is responsible by the tactical decisions about resource allocations and modifications of the investment policy.

Pension and other postretirement benefits (Continued)
 
The investment in equity securities is targeted to be approximately of 25% of the investment portfolio, with the remaining amount invested in fixed income securities and funds. This target could change depending on the market conditions. The limits of allocation are determined based on the characteristics of the population of participants of the pension plan and actuarial target.
 
The table below demonstrates how the resources can be allocated:

Cosan and its subsidiaries are parties in various ongoing labor claims, civil and tax proceedings 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 non-current assets, amounting to US$94,083 at March 31, 2010 (US$73,975 at March 31, 2009) 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. The company used judicial deposits to pay for a portion of the tax recovery program as discussed in Note 11.

Estimated liability for legal proceedings and commitments (Continued)
 
 
(i)
The Company and its subsidiaries opted to settle tax related claims in installments as provided by Brazilian Law No 11.941/09 and in MP 470/09. The Company and its subsidiaries used accumulated tax losses to pay the related fines and interest. Consequently there was a full reduction of the claims related to IPI tax credit, as well as the installment payment of other federal taxes, that were recorded as Taxes Payable (note 11).
 
 
(ii)
On May 27, 2009, the 1st and 3rd paragraphs of Brazilian Law No 9718/98 that regulated the collection of PIS and Cofins (federal tax contributions) on exchange variation and other financial income was revoked by Law No 11941/09. The Company evaluated its ongoing judicial demands related to the legal obligations not paid related to the increase in the calculation basis of PIS and Cofins and reversed the related provision at the amount of US$30,213.
 
 
(iii)
From June to December of 1994, the subsidiary Cosan CL used tax credits on COFINS taxes based on a favorable court ruling and compensated with other federal taxes. During 2008 the federal tax authorities in Brazil issued an assessment invalidating such compensation and therefore a provision related to this matter was recorded.
 
The detail of the movement in the estimated liability for legal proceedings is as follows:

Commitments
 
Sales
 
Considering that Cosan operates mainly in the commodities market, its sales are substantially made at prices applicable at sales date, and therefore, there are no outstanding orders with amounts involved. However, Cosan has several agreements in the sugar market in which there are commitments of sales involving volumes of these products in future harvest periods.
 
The commitments to sell sugar by harvest period are as follows (unaudited):

Purchase
 
Cosan has entered into several commitments to purchase sugarcane from third parties in order to guarantee part of its production for the next harvest periods. The amount of sugarcane to be purchased was calculated based on an estimation of the sugarcane to be harvested in each geographic area. The amount to be paid by Cosan will be determined for each harvest period at the end of such harvest period according to price of the sugarcane published by CONSECANA.

Recorded as other current assets / (liabilities)
    -       8,090  
Recorded as non-current deferred income taxes liabilities
    (408,832 )     (40,377 )
 
In assessing the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. There is no expiration term for the net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Cosan will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at March 31, 2010, as well as the net operating loss carry forwards. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

As of March 31, 2010, Cosan and its subsidiaries have consolidated net operating loss carry forwards for income tax and social contribution tax losses of US$488,176, and US$495,189, respectively. Income tax losses carry forwards and social contribution tax losses may be offset against a maximum of 30% of annual taxable income earned from 1995 forward, with no statutory limitation period.
 
Cosan accounts for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainly in Income Taxes”. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as noncurrent taxes payable, is as follows:
 
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

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 and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in Brazil and they are subject to income tax examinations by the relevant tax authorities for the years 2005 through 2010.

Shareholders’ equity
 
a. Capital
 
On August 1, 2007, Cosan became the controlling shareholder of Cosan S.A. in which it holds 51% interest.
 
This was carried out by means of a corporate reorganization involving Cosan’s former direct controlling shareholders, Usina Costa Pinto S.A. Açúcar e Álcool (“Usina Costa Pinto”) and Aguassanta Participações S.A. (“Aguassanta Participações”). These shareholders contributed capital to Cosan in the form of Cosan’s common shares, as stated below, thus becoming part of Cosan S.A.’s indirect ownership structure:

Subsequently, Aguassanta Participações proceeded with a corporate restructuring involving its interest held in Cosan. As a result of this restructuring, the equity interest formerly held by Aguassanta Participações directly in Cosan turned into indirect interest, by means of holding companies in Brazil and abroad. Upon completion of this corporate restructuring, the ownership structure of Cosan was as follows:

Upon the conclusion of the OPA on April 18, 2008, 18,232,812 shares of Cosan were exchanged, representing an increase in its interest in Cosan S.A. of 6.7%.
 
On October 27, 2008, Cosan Limited announced the results of the subscription of its class A common shares by certain investment funds managed by no Gávea Investimentos Ltda. (“Gávea Funds”) and by Queluz Holding Limited, the controlling shareholder of the Company.

Shareholders’ equity (Continued)
 
On September 19, 2008, Cosan S.A. undertook a capital subscription of 55,000,000 common shares which was completed on October 20, 2008. Since a number of the noncontrolling interests did not exercise their subscription rights, the Company acquired 54,993,482 of the shares for US$456,034, and the minority shareholders acquired the remaining 6,518 shares for US$50. In connection with this subscription, the shareholders received one Subscription Warrant (Warrant) for each new share. Each Warrant grants its holder the right to subscribe 0.6 common shares, with the distribution of fractional shares not being permitted. Therefore, the Company received Warrants, which are valid through December 31, 2009, to purchase 32,996,089 additional common shares of Cosan S.A.. Since Cosan S.A. is a consolidated subsidiary, the Warrants recorded by Cosan S.A. have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
On September 14, 2009, the Company sold to third parties 10,000,000 of the Warrants for US$14,362, which resulted in a gain which is recorded as financial income. The basis of the Warrants which were sold, amounting to US$4,594, has been reclassified from additional paid-in capital to noncontrolling interest. At December 31, 2009, 54,987,552 warrants have been exercised, of which 44,993,482 were exercised by the Company, 9,994,070 were exercised by noncontrolling shareholders and the remaining 12,448 warrants expired. The exercise of the warrants of Cosan S.A. resulted in the issuance of 32,992,531 common shares, valued at US$301,145. Of this amount, the Company received 26,996,089 common shares valued at US$267,753.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Curupay, Cosan S.A. issued 44,300,389 new common shares (Note 8). Since these shares were issued to noncontrolling interests, this diluted the Company’s ownership interest which resulted in an increase in additional paid-in capital of US$9,840.

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 treasury shares held 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.
 
According to the market value on the date of issuance, the exercise price is US$2.64 (two dollars and sixty four 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.
 
On August 7, 2009, the board of directors approved an additional distribution of stock options, in connection with the stock option plan mentioned above, corresponding to 165,657 common shares to be issued or purchased by Cosan S.A. Such options were issued without a vesting period; therefore the intrinsic value at grant date was the basis for calculating the fair value of the options, at US$9.82 per option, and an expense of US$1,071 was fully recorded by the Company.
 
The exercise of options may be settled only through issuance of new common shares or treasury shares.

Share-based compensation (Continued)
 
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:
 
   
Options granted on September 22, 2005
   
Options granted on September 11, 2007
   
Options granted on August 7, 2009

    1.25 %     1.47 %     (1 )
Weighted-average fair value at grant date - in U.S. dollars
    6.93       10.22       (1 )
 
(1) The options were fully vested at the date of issuance so the fair value was the quoted market price as of the grant date.
 
Expected Term – Cosan S.A.’s expected term represents the period that Cosan S.A.’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 S.A. does not expect any forfeiture as those options are mainly for officers, whose turnover is low.

Share-based compensation (Continued)
 
Expected Volatility – For the options granted on September 22, 2005 Cosan S.A. had its shares publicly-traded for less than 6 months as of April 30, 2006. Therefore, Cosan S.A. 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 S.A. 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. For the options granted on September 11, 2007 Cosan S.A. used the volatility of its shares as an assumption in its valuation model since Cosan S.A.’s IPO in Brazil, in 2005.
 
Expected Dividends – As the Cosan S.A. is a relatively new public entity, the expected dividend yield was calculated based on the current value of the stock at the 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 - Cosan S.A. bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Binominal Model valuation method on the implied yield currently available on SELIC -Special System Settlement Custody, which is the implied yield currently available on zero-coupon securities in Brazil.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the amount of US$1,662 related to the unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized in 6 months.

Risk management and financial instruments
 
a. Risk management
 
The commodity and foreign exchange rates price volatilities are the main market risks to which Cosan and its subsidiaries are exposed. Cosan 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.
 
b. Price risk
 
Cosan carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to sugar price variations in the foreign market. Such transactions generally assure an average minimum income for future production. Cosan 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. Cosan 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).
 
c. Foreign exchange risk
 
Cosan carries out transactions involving derivatives, with a view to reducing its exposure to foreign exchange rate variations on exports. Foreign exchange derivative transactions combined with commodity price derivatives generally assure an average minimum income for future production. Cosan 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. Cosan operates mainly through futures contracts over BM&F (“Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo”) and in the over-the-counter segment with leading institutions.
 
Additionally, Cosan has also engaged in currency and interest rate swap operations for charges associated to Senior Notes, from the U.S. dollar exchange rate variation plus interest of 9% p.a. to 81% of CDI.

Risk management and financial instruments (Continued)
 
d. Interest rate risk
 
Cosan monitors fluctuations of the several interest rates linked to its monetary assets and liabilities and, in the event of increased volatility of such rates, it may engage in transactions with derivatives so as to minimize such risks. During 2010 Cosan entered into swap contracts to exchange fixed to Libor interest rate in order to protect against variations in the Libor on certain loan contracts.
 
e. Credit risk
 
A significant portion of sales made by the Company and its subsidiaries is intended for a selected group of highly qualified counterparties, such as trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains. In connection with the fuel distribution activity, a diversified customer portfolio, in addition to following up on the sales financing terms by business segment and their individual credit limits, are procedures adopted by the Company to minimize overdue accounts receivable and defaults. Credit risk is managed through specific rules of client acceptance, credit rating and establishment limits for customer exposure, including, when applicable, requirement of letters of credit from a top rated bank and obtaining security interest on credits granted. Management considers that the credit risk is substantially covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company and its subsidiaries historically do not record material losses on trade accounts receivable.
 
f. Debt acceleration risk
 
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, Cosan was a party to loan and financing agreements with covenants generally applicable to these operations, regarding cash generation, debt to equity ratio and others. These covenants are being complied with by Cosan and do not place any restrictions on its operations as a going-concern.

g. Estimated market values
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each main class of financial instruments:
 
 
Accounts receivable and trade accounts payable: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts and notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values.
 
 
Short-term and long-term debt and advances from customers: Except when there are published market prices, the market values of loans and financing were calculated based on their present value calculated through the future cash flows and using interest rates applicable to instruments of similar nature, terms and risks or based on the market quotation of these securities.
 
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Cosan’s financial instruments at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Deferred gain on sale of investments in subsidiaries
 
Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A. is a subsidiary whose principal assets are land used for the growing of sugarcane for Cosan. On December 15, 2008, the shareholders approved a partial spin-off of the assets of Ponte Alta and created four new subsidiaries. Agricultural land was then transferred from Ponte Alta to each of the entities. On December 30, 2008, two of the entities, Nova Agrícola Ponte Alta S.A. and Terras da Ponte Alta S.A. were sold to Radar, an affiliate company accounted for by the equity method. The selling price was fair value, US$123,596, which resulted in a gain of US$47,080. This gain has previously been deferred since there were no lease contracts executed for the land, which was being used by Cosan for a monthly fee. Over the year ended March 31, 2009 the lease contracts were executed, and the gain is being amortized since then to profit and loss over the 19 year average term of the leases.
 
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company has amortized a gain of US$3,394 related to this sale-leaseback transaction.
 
 
22.
Fair value measurements
 
Effective May 1, 2008, Cosan adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. Broadly, the ASC 820 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. ASC 820 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 ASC 820 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Fair value measurements (Continued)
 
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.
 
Derivatives
 
Cosan uses 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, foreign currency swaps and commodity forward contracts.

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 operating and 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. The operations of these segments are based solely in Brazil.

In 2010, in connection with some management changes and realignment of the business, management has combined the Sugar and Ethanol segments into the Sugar and Ethanol (“S&E”) segment.  This change reflects the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the business and allocates resources. The S&E segment mainly operates and produces a broad variety of sugar and ethanol products.  These products are produced in the same facilities using the same basic raw material – sugarcane.  The plants have the flexibility of being configured to produce either of the two finished products which provides management the ability to adjust production based on market demand. Disclosures relating to this operating segment also include the revenues of the two major products.  The prior year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the combination of the Sugar and Ethanol Segments.

Additionally, the current year acquisition of Teaçú and Curupay and their combination with the Novo Rumo business has resulted in a new operating segment that is called Sugar Logistics (“RUMO”).

Following is a description of the operating segments of the business.

Segment information (Continued)

a. Segment information (Continued)

The Sugar and Ethanol (“S&E”) segment produces and sells a broad variety of sugar and ethanol products. The sugar products include raw (also known as very high polarization - VHP sugar), organic, crystal and refined sugars, which are sold to a wide range of customers in Brazil and abroad. Cosan exports themajority 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” and “União” branded products.  The ethanol products include fuel ethanol and industrial ethanol. Cosan’s principal fuel ethanol products are hydrous and anhydrous. Hydrous ethanol is used as an automotive fuel and anhydrous (which has a lower water content than hydrous ethanol) is used as an additive in gasoline. The fuel ethanol products are 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).  In addition, S&E segment sells also liquid and gel ethanol products used mainly in the production of paint and cosmetics and alcoholic beverages for industrial clients in various sectors. The S&E segment includes also the co-generation activities and most of corporate activities.

The Fuel Distribution and Lubricants (“CCL”) segment is engaged in the distribution in Brazil of fuel products, derived from petroleum or ethanol, and lubricants as well as the operation of convenience stores. The network to which the fuel distribution segment distributes such products is comprised of approximately 1,700 fuel stations.

The Sugar Logistic (“Rumo”) segment provides logistics services for the transport, storage and port lifting of sugar for both the S&E segment and third parties.

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

The results from Cosan Limited during the fiscal year ended on March 31st, 2010, were significantly related to the results from its subsidiary Cosan S.A. Industria e Comércio and the notes from the Management are valid for both Companies.

In compliance with legal and statutory provisions, Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio submits for appreciation by its shareholders the Management Report and relevant Financial Statements, together with the Opinion of the Independent Auditors, relative to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The Financial Statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (US GAAP), expressed in U.S. dollars, are available in the Investors Relations section of our site www.cosan.com.br. The Company also makes available a detailed version of the Financial Statements and its release on results on site www.cosan.com.br/ri.

On account of the alteration of fiscal year 2009, which brought forward its closing date to March 31, 2009, the periods for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 are mismatched, i.e., fiscal year 2009 consists of only 11 months, for the interval from May 2008 to March 2009, while fiscal year 2010 comprises the 12 months from April 2009 to March 2010;

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
 
This fiscal year was marked by the consolidation and alteration of the strategy of diversification of the business model implemented in the previous year. After more than one year since the acquisition of Esso Brasileira de Petróleo (presently named CCL – Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A.) we can present the results obtained and the benefits secured from implementation of a new fully-integrated business platform. With the well-defined and solid business model, Cosan has positioned itself to capture any opportunities that could arise and to differentiate itself from competitors through its competitive edges.

With a vision of growth, but without losing focus on sustainability, in these six months Cosan has been able to (i) increase its crushing capacity with the acquisition of NovAmérica (currently named CAL – Cosan Alimentos) and the start-up of the greenfield projects (Jataí and Caarapó), (ii) advance in its plan of investment in co-generation of energy using cane bagasse, (iii) increase its presence in the logistics segment, with the

creation and commencement of activities of Rumo Logística, and (iv) through execution of a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Shell, thereby enabling itself to become the most efficient player in the distribution of fuel in Brazil.

The acquisition of the Cosan Alimentos mills in the first quarter of 2010 increased our crushing capacity by 10 million tons of cane, provided better exposure to the domestic sugar market, principally with the portfolio of the UNIÃO brand, in a year when sugar attained historical record prices. In addition, Cosan also acquired NovAmérica’s participation of 28.2% at Rumo Logística, increasing its stake to approximately 93%.

The energy co-generation project continued to be implemented in the course of this fiscal year, so that the next crop year can be initiated with the new co-generation units ready to commence sale of energy through contracts that have been executed. These new units are expected to more than double the generation of cash in the co-generation segment, which will help to reduce the volatility of our future sugar and ethanol – CAA - results, increasing their predictability.

The process of organic growth initiated with the construction of a new mill, Jataí, in the State of Goiás, showed Cosan’s capability of expanding sugarcane frontiers beyond the State of São Paulo, with state-of-the- art and modern technology and with efficiency well above the national average. Cosan also concluded the Greenfield acquired from NovAmérica, located in the city of Caarapó, in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul.

The new business, named Rumo Logística, positions Cosan as the principal sugar logistics player in Brazil. In addition to coping with one of the main infrastructure bottlenecks in Brazil, Cosan will be able to offer a service with quality, efficiency and competitive costs to all Brazilian sugar producers, through a partnership with ALL in rail transportation of bulk sugar and other sub-products. The new railcars and locomotives purchased by Rumo Logística are among the most modern in the world and will be able to carry up to approximately 11 million tons of sugar, when the expected investments are completed in 2013.

The signing of the memorandum of understanding between Cosan and Shell demonstrates that we are following the correct strategy. The new joint venture (“JV”) still needs to have its terms approved and defined by both companies and by the pertinent regulating agencies, in addition to completion of the due diligence process by both parties. The businesses in which Cosan operates and that will be part of the Joint Venture are sugar and ethanol, including operations of energy co-generation, distribution and commercialization of fuel, the ethanol logistics assets and the totality of its equity participation in a company that commercializes ethanol, totaling assets to be contributed estimated at US$4,925 million. Cosan will contribute to the JV net debts amounting to approximately US$2,524 million. In consideration, Shell will contribute to the JV its fuel distribution and commercialization assets in Brazil (retail and aviation) and its participation

in companies involved with research and development of use of biomass, including ethanol. Furthermore, Shell will effect within two years a cash capital contribution amounting to approximately US$1,625 million and a contingent contribution estimated by Cosan at US$300 million, in the course of a period of approximately 5 years, on account of additional input based on future earnings of the joint structure.

The challenges for the next fiscal year are even greater, principally after closing of the joint venture with Shell. The new integration and management processes will capture major synergies in all of our business units. The quest for an even more efficient company that can assure its sustainable growth, providing increasingly cleaner energy for people’s lives will continue to guide us throughout the next year.

Market and Sector Overview
 
According to UNICA, the sugarcane growers’ association, crushed cane volume in Brazil’s central-south region totaled 541.9 million tonnes in the 2009/10 crop, 7.3% up compared to the previous harvest. Sugar production increased by 7.3% to reach 28.6 million tonnes, while ethanol output dropped by 5.6% to 23.7 billion liters, of which hydrous ethanol accounted for 17.5 billion liters and anhydrous ethanol for 6.2 billion liters, an increase of 3.8% and decrease of 24.8%, respectively, in relation to the previous harvest. This reflects the crop shortfall due to record level of rains during the crop, when the weather is usually dry, which not only decreased the number of crushing days but also the sucrose content of the total sugar recoverable (TSR) in the cane to 130.25 kg/t, compared to 140.88 kg/t in the previous harvest. In addition, due to increase in sugar prices in the international market during the crop, the production mix continued to prioritize sugar (42.6%) compared to the previous year.
 
UNICA estimates that the total crushed cane volume for the 2010/11 crop will reach 595.9 million tonnes in Brazilian Central-South region, which, combined with an improve of TSR to 138.59 kg/t and 43.29% of cane towards sugar production, maintaining the production mix more focused on sugar compared to last year’s, will result in 34.1 million tonnes of sugar, 20.1 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 7.3 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 19.1%, 15.4% and 16.2%, respectively. These projections are mainly the result of (i) greater agricultural productivity (tonnes of cane / hectare) due to the higher level of rains during the planting and growth of sugarcane, despite such adverse effects as the orange rust of sugarcane, which may affect certain cane varieties and the aging of the field; (ii) higher yield of sucrose (TSR) in the cane as a result of a more favorable weather conditions for harvesting and maturing of the cane, despite the higher volume of cane left on the field, anticipation of the beginning of harvest and the evolution of mechanical harvesting; and the (iii) increase in crushing capacity as result of the startup of 10 new mill units and ramp-up of the harvesting area of those that started operating in the previous harvests, effect that started to vanish due to the lower investment level compared to the peak in 2007 and 2008 in the sector.

Management Report
March 31st, 2010
 
The latest UNICA data indicate an increase of crushed cane volume in beginning of 2010/11 crop, until May 16th, totaling 93.9 million tones, 27.1% higher on the same period in the last crop, mainly due to the advance of sugarcane harvest. The production mix in the period continues to prioritize sugar to attend the contracts which could not be performed last year, being 41.9% of production directed to this product and 58.1% for ethanol. Sugar production reached 4.4 million tonnes, an increase of 38.7% than last crop, while ethanol output stood at 3.8 billion liters, with 2.9 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 829 million liters of anhydrous ethanol, an increase of 11.5% and 74.6%, respectively.
 
In this quarter, raw sugar prices averaged 24.52 US¢/lb, 92.8% up over 4Q09 and 3.6% up over 3Q10. It is important to note the variation of prices in the period: after rallying in January, when sugar price reached 29.9 US¢/lb, the highest in 29 years, prices dropped by 44.5% until the end of the quarter. The downward trend continued, reaching the lowest point of 13.67 US¢/lb in the beginning of May, 54.3% down from the peak in January.
 
This can be explained by some factors: (i) export of 500,000 tonnes of out-of-quota sugar to the European Union, as mentioned in the last Financial Letter; (ii) export of nearly 1 million tonnes of sugar from Brazil in the quarter, which was not expected by the market based on the estimates of initial inventories for the harvest; (iii) the recovery and extension of the Indian crop, which usually ends in March and was estimated between 13 and 15 million tonnes. In May, there were still several mills processing cane, with new estimates between 18 and 19 million tonnes; (iv) the deferral of demand in response to the higher prices; (v) the prospect of better weather conditions for the 2010/11 crop in Brazil and India, resulting in more optimistic sugar production estimates ranging from 32-35 to 24-25 million tonnes, respectively.
 
On the other hand, world sugar inventories are much lower compared to historical levels and need to be recomposed. Moreover, there are several uncertainties concerning the crop in some countries, for example: (i) in Brazil and India, if the weather conditions are not as adequate as expected, production will be lower than expected; (ii) the announcement by the Pakistani government of its intention to buy approximately 900,000 tonnes; (iii) potential imports from China to recompose strategic inventories, given that these were released to curb inflation in the domestic market after a bad crop; (iv) the possibility that the United States will allow additional raw sugar imports to meet domestic demand.
 
International refined sugar prices partially followed the downward trajectory of raw sugar prices, dropping by 37.6% in 61 days. The average price in the period was US$659.15/t, 75.5% and 7.4% up over 4Q09 and 3Q10, respectively. Due to the lack of sugar for refining, mainly because Brazil is in the inter-harvest period, the white premium averaged US$118.58/t.
 
In 4Q10, the Brazilian real depreciated against the U.S. dollar to average R$1.80/US$, 3.6% up from the previous quarter. In the quarter, the Real reached R$1.87/US$, due to the initial signs of an economic slowdown in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The foreign exchange rate at the end of the period was R$1.78/US$, compared with R$1.74/US$ in December 2009 and R$2.32/US$ in March 2009.

Management Report

Domestic crystal sugar prices (ESALQ) averaged R$70.80/50Kg bag (or 35.65 US¢/lb) in 4Q10, 22.8% up compared to the previous quarter and 63.7% up on 4Q09. These prices reflect the lower sugar availability due to the rainy season and strong exports during the harvest, which amounted to 19.8 million tonnes (from April/09 to March/10).
 
In response to the previously mentioned factors and the macroeconomic conditions, major hedge funds, plus smaller funds and speculators, who had built positions in the commodity due to its solid fundamentals, quickly reduced their long sugar positions, helping with the decline in sugar prices. At the end of 4Q10, the net long position stood at 158,000 lots, or 15.8% of open contracts, 30.2% down from the previous quarter.
 
In the domestic market, the lower availability of ethanol due to the accelerated demand in 2009 (increase in flex fuel cars sales) and the reduced supply due to the rainy harvest, resulted in a significant increase in prices of both anhydrous and hydrous ethanol. Hydrous ethanol prices (ESALQ) averaged R$1.041/liter in 4Q10, 40.8% up YoY and 9.7% up over 3Q10. Anhydrous prices averaged R$1.188/liter, 43.1% higher than 3Q09 and 8.6% up on the previous quarter.
 
According to Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP), the average hydrous ethanol/gasoline price parity (weighted by the size of the fleet) closed 69% at the end of 4Q10, returning to below 70% parity in 6 states, which account for more than 50% of Brazil’s flex-fuel fleet. Between February and May 1st, 2010, the anhydrous ethanol blend ratio in gasoline reduced from 25% to 20%, yet anhydrous ethanol consumption remained unchanged compared to February and March 2009, once gasoline consumption increased significantly as ethanol prices were above parity during most of the period.
 
According to ANFAVEA, the auto manufacturers’ association, flex-fuel vehicle sales in Brazil totaled 652,700 units in 4Q10, accounting for 87% of new car sales, 16.1% up year-on-year.
 
 According to ANP, Diesel sales in the first three months of 2010 totaled 11.1 billion liters, 12.7% up year-on-year. Gasoline A volume increased by a significant 29.7% in the period, with 5.9 billion liters sold, as ethanol prices were above parity and percentage of anhydrous ethanol blended in gasoline decreased. For these same reasons, ethanol consumption dropped by 24.7% in the period to reach 2.8 billion liters.

Sugar Sales - CAA
 
 
Þ 
Sugar sales totaled R$3.4 billion, 87.1% more than the year before. The main factors contributing to the R$ 1.6 billion increase were:
 
 
Þ 
Record international and domestic prices, 28.9% and 54.4% above previous year which have contributed with gains of approximately R$ 453.5 million and R$ 127.3 million, respectively;
 
 
Þ 
The higher sugar volume sold, resulted in an additional revenues of R$640.5 million. This increase in volume can be explained by: (i) NovAmerica consolidation; (ii) the higher share of sugar in the product mix; (iii) the reduction in carryover stocks; and (iv) the distortion in the comparison with the previous year, which had only 11 months.

Ethanol revenue totaled R$1.7 billion, 48.6%, or R$ 571.6 million, up on FY’09, mainly due to:
 
 
Þ 
Gain of R$513.2 million from higher ethanol sales, thanks to: (i) the incorporation of NovAmérica’s plants; (ii) the reduction in carryover stocks, taking advantage of the higher inter-harvest prices; (iii) the effect from the comparison with FY’09, which had only 11 months;
 
 
Þ 
Gain of R$40.7 million due to the increase in domestic average prices, notwithstanding the 18.3% decrease in the international average prices;
 
 
Þ 
Loss of R$78.0 million due to higher exports, whose average prices were lower than domestic ones.
 
 
 
Ethanol inventories were 76.2% lower than in the previous year due to our strategy to capture the higher prices over the off-season period (4Q’10).

Rumo
 
In FY’10, Rumo concluded its first year jointly operating the Cosan Portuária and Teaçú terminals and began transportation operations through a partnership agreement with ALL, with total net revenues of R$158.2 million. Loading volume grew by 131.4% over FY’09, from 3.5 million to 8.1 million tonnes, 34.6% of which (or 2.8 million tonnes) being service to Cosan. This result was achieved because of the merger with Teaçú, NovAmérica’s former terminal, and higher productivity due to synergies and improvements in operational processes.
 
The average loading price increased by 13.0% over FY’09 to R$17.50/ton.
 
The transportation agreement entered into with ALL became valid and executable in 4Q’10, generating additional revenue of R$16.1 million in this quarter.

CCL’s recorded FY’10 net revenue of R$ 10.1 billion, 226.6% up on the previous year, given that only four months of this company’s results were consolidated in FY’09, as mentioned previously. Fuel segment revenue totaled R$ 9.4 billion, up by 226.1%. The main factors contributing to the net revenues achieved in FY’10 were:
 
 
Þ 
Ethanol sales of 803.2 million liters, reflecting record vehicle licensing volume between April 2009 and March 2010, 88% of which flex-fuel vehicles;
 
 
Þ 
Higher ethanol prices in the inter-harvest period, which not only benefited hydrous net revenue, but also resulted in an upturn in gasoline sales volume. This was because ethanol prices were above 70% parity with gasoline prices in many Brazilian sates, causing some flex-fuel owners to switch from ethanol to gasoline, whose prices are higher (average of R$2,207/m3 in FY’10 versus R$942/m3 of ethanol);
 
 
Þ 
The acquisition of new corporate clients, who accounted for an additional 210 million liters of Diesel in FY’10, beyond the Diesel volume sold to CAA.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
 
COGS totaled R$13.2 billion, versus R$5.5 billion in the previous year. This substantial upturn reflected the 12-month consolidation of fuel and lubricant distribution, which added R$ 9.4 billion to annual COGS, versus R$2.9 billion in the previous year, when only four months of this business unit were consolidated. In addition, CAA’s COGS increased by 60.5%, chiefly due to higher sales volume, sugar sourcing activities, higher costs for sugar cane acquired from third parties, the poor harvest and the reduction in TRS, the last two due to excess rainfall in the harvest period.

The cost of goods sold and services rendered totaled R$4.1 billion, accompanying sugar and ethanol sales growth and reflecting the merger of NovAmérica and the strong impact of the upturn in the TSR price (due to higher sugar prices in Brazil and abroad) and the reduction in TSR mainly due to adverse weather conditions throughout the harvest.
 
The R$1.5 billion increase results from the 19.1% upturn in average unit sugar costs and the 11.6% rise in average unit ethanol costs, was chiefly due to:
 
 
Þ 
The increase in sugar sourcing (purchase of the raw material to be refined and product for subsequent resale and distribution on the domestic market), a traditional NovAmerica practice, whose margins are lower and which had an impact of R$61 million;
 
 
Þ 
The increase of 25.5% in the average TSR price, as calculated by Consecana, from R$0.2772/Kg of TSR to R$0.3492/Kg of TSR, which pushed up the cost of land leased and sugarcane acquired from suppliers, adding approximately R$260 million;

Þ 
The effect of lower concentration in the TSR itself (cane sucrose content), from 139.0kg/ton of sugar cane to 129.8kg/ton, surpassed the gains in efficiency in the process of mechanization of the harvest, leading to additional costs of R$180 million;
 
 
Þ 
Thanks to excessive rainfall, there were less effective crushing days. Consequently, 3.3 million tonnes of cane which were expected to be processed were left in the fields, generating an impact on the dilution of fixed agricultural costs (planting, treatment and leasing).
 
 
Þ 
Despite the harvesting difficulties, CLT costs (cutting, loading and transport) has not increased benefited from the mechanical harvest which accounted for 64.5% of the total harvest, stood at R$6.25/tonne of cane, cheaper than manual CLT costs.
 
Rumo
 
Rumo’s COGS totaled R$115.5 million, including loading and transportation costs, the latter consisting of costs from transshipment, road and rail freight and storage.
 
The variable part of the loading costs refer mostly to stevedore expenses, port tariffs and electric power, while the fixed part refers to operational labor, equipment rental, port leasing costs and maintenance.
 
CCL
 
CCL’s average COGS recorded a decline of R$32/m3 in FY’10, or 2%, lower than FY’09, primarily due to the reduction in Petrobrás’ Diesel price and lower lubricant costs due to the appreciation of the Real against the dollar. The reduction of the average unit cost quoted above occurred despite the upturn in the inter-harvest ethanol costs, which affected not only hydrous costs but also those of gasoline C, due to the mandatory gasoline mix with anhydrous ethanol. In addition, between February and April 2010, the ratio was reduced from 25% to 20% turning even more expensive the cost of gasoline C.
 
Gross Profit
 
As a result, the Company recorded a FY’10 gross profit of R$2.1 billion, an increase of 165.9% compared to the previous year, with a gross margin equivalent to 13.9%. The ethanol margin recovered throughout the harvest, reaching breakeven at the close of the year. On the other hand, sugar recorded a positive margin of 37.4%, partially benefiting from the increase in international prices and sugar’s greater share of domestic sales. In addition, CCL’s gross unit margin moved up by R$26/m3 to R$137/m3.

CAA

Excluding the effects from the NovAmerica merger, CAA recorded selling expenses of R$373.1 million,17.4% higher than the previous year, chiefly due to the following factors:
 
 
Þ 
The higher sugar exports caused an increase in freight and loading expenses of around 14.4%.
 
 
Þ 
The increase of 28% in the volume of ethanol exports, which pushed up selling expenses by R$11.5 million.
 
 
Þ 
Certain initiatives throughout the year to improve the efficiency of make the domestic sales management, including a reduction in retail commissions and bonuses through the revision of sales contracts and agreements in the case of sugar, and the elimination of less profitable accounts.
 
Rumo

Given the nature of its business, Rumo has no selling expenses.

CCL

CCL’s selling expenses are mostly related to salaries and benefits, freight from product deliveries, maintenance, repairs and environmental expenses and marketing. It is worth noting that this fiscal year was characterized by investments in marketing, maintenance

General and Administrative Expenses
 
G&A expenses totaled R$497.2 million, representing 3.2% of FY’10 net revenue, a hefty 80.2% up on the R$275.9 million recorded in FY’09, primarily due to the entry of NovAmérica (R$23.7 million), 12 months of expenses from CCL (R$92.7 million) and Teaçu consolidation by Rumo.

G&A expenses came to R$386.3 million, 57.4% higher than in FY’09, chiefly due to the entry of NovAmérica. The integration of NovAmérica’s systems only took place in the second half of 4Q’10, so its full effects will only be reflected as of 1Q’11. Excluding this impact, G&A expenses increased by 47.8%, due to the following factors:
 
 
Þ 
Increase of around R$42.0 million due to the provisioning of management and employee bonus payments;
 
 
Þ 
Upturn of around R$20.0 million in expenses from consulting services, due to projects such as the Shared Services Center (CAN), the implementation of EVA and various other IT projects, a non-recurring events.
 
 
Þ 
Approximately R$11.0 million from the pay rise following the collective bargaining agreement and increase in other general expenses, such as travel expenses driven by geographic dispersion from our current different offices sites;
 
 
Þ

As a result of all the above, Cosan posted record EBITDA of R$1.7 billion in FY’10, 86.3% more than its previous best of R$930million in FY’07. Of this total, CAA contributed R$1.4 billion, 106.5% up on the previous year, while CCL and Rumo contributed R$332.0 million and R$42.8 million, respectively. Even excluding the non-recurring effects of REFIS (federal tax recovery program) and the sale of the aviation fuel business, EBITDA maintained its historical level of R$1.4 billion.

Depreciation and amortization totaled R$584.7 million, 43.1% more than the R$408.6 million reported in FY’09, due to heavy investments in order to increase production efficiency through agricultural mechanization, co-generation and industrial improvements, as well as investments in increasing crushing capacity of the new plants (greenfield units). If this non-cash effect is excluded from operating costs and expenses, CAA recorded EBITDA of R$1.4 billion, chiefly due to the following:
 
 
Þ 
Adherence to the REFIS program, which generated a positive impact of R$270.3 million, as explained in section F below;
 
 
Þ 
Non-operating revenue resulting from a capital gain of R$93.1 million due to the sale of the aviation fuel business. In December 2008, Cosan S.A. acquired CCL through its subsidiary Cosanpar Participações, which sold this division in June 2009 for R$115.6 million. The difference between this amount and the amount booked under property, plant and equipment related to the aviation fuel business were recorded in the other operating income line, improving the EBITDA, as detailed in previous Financial Letters.

Rumo
 
Rumo recorded EBITDA of R$42.8 million in FY’10, showing an EBITDA margin of 27.0%. It is worth noting that the company recorded R$9.4 million in other operating income from dispatch/demurrage, take or pay and storage services, and a non-recurring non-operating expense of R$5.4 million from accounting adjustments arising from the merger of Teaçú. The depreciation and amortization for the period were R$14.2 million.
 
CCL
 
Excluding the non-cash impact of depreciation of R$37.5 million, CCL posted FY’10 EBITDA of R$332.0 million, with a margin of R$59/m3, or 3.3% EBITDA margin versus 2.1% for the previous year, due to the upturn in diesel, ethanol and gasoline sales volume, wider gasoline, diesel and lubricant unit margins, and the capture of logistics synergies from the merger with CAA.
 
Financial Result
 
The FY’10 net financial result was a positive R$420.4 million, versus a negative R$817.4 million in the previous year, chiefly fueled by the impact of the exchange variation on dollar-denominated debt, which was positive by R$559.0 million in FY’10 and negative by R$573.7 million in FY’09.
 
The exchange impact was in turn mainly due to the 37% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Real in FY’09 (R$1.6872/US$ x R$2.3152/US$) and the contrary effect in FY’10, when the dollar fell by 23.1% against the Real (R$2.3152/US$ x R$1.7810/US$). The foreign-currency debt has also been increasing in recent years, having closed FY’08, FY’09 and FY’10 at R$1.6 billion, R$2.3 billion and R$3.6 billion, respectively.
 
Interest on the gross debt totaled R$414.3 million, versus R$244.5 million in FY’09, chiefly due to the upturn from the merger of NovAmérica, which was consolidated as of June 2009, and the funding for the acquisition of CCL, which impacted only four months in FY’09.

Income Tax
 
In this fiscal year, Cosan S.A. income tax expenses amounted R$433 million out of which R$355 million were deferred. This result represented an effective tax rate of 30.7% on earnings before taxes (compared to 34% of nominal rate), which reflects both common permanent additions and exclusions and positive impact from specific exclusions from the Tax Recovery Program, described below. In the previous year, we had a positive impact of income tax (R$235 million) as result of losses before taxes on that period and the resulting in deferred tax credits.
 
Net Income
 
Cosan posted FY’10 net income of R$986.5 million, versus a net loss of R$473.8 million the year before, fueled by the positive impact of higher sales volume and prices on all segments of the business, which pushed up the gross margin by R$1.3 billion, the effect of the exchange variation on dollar-denominated debt and the benefits from the Refis program.

FINANCIAL SITUATION
 
Cosan closed FY’09 with gross financial debt of R$5.3 billion (excluding Resolution 24711), 42% up on the R$3.7 billion recorded at the end of FY’09 and just 3.3% up on the R$5.2 billion posted at the close of 3Q’10.
 
In November 2009, the Company implemented several measures to improve its debt profile, including full settlement of the promissory notes, the 209 senior notes, bank credit certificates and debentures, the last two resulting from the acquisition of NovAmérica and the contracting of: (i) US$ 430 million in export repayments, maturing in 5 years; (ii) US$ 100 million in export credit notes (NCEs), maturing in 3 years; (iii) R$ 300 million in export credit certificates (CCE), maturing in 2 years; and (iv) the disbursement by the BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) of part of the funding for Jataí and Gasa.
 
In 4Q’10, the Company opted to prepay financing of R$90 million with the IFC due to its high cost, given that a portion is linked to the Group’s operating cash flow. In addition, the BNDES disbursed R$123.4 million in new contracted loans and the Company contracted additional FINAME funding of around R$100.0 million, for machinery and equipment purchases. In the 4Q’10, a loan named “Proinfa” has been reclassified to the BNDES line as well as for part of the FINAME loan amounting to approximately R$40.0 million.
 
 

1 As disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Resolution 2471 debt is pegged to Brazilian treasury certificates acquired by the Company and recognized under current and non-current assets. Consequently, this debt was excluded from the analysis of indebtedness.

Cosan ended the year with a cash position of R$1.1 billion, reducing net debt to R$4.3 billion, or 2.4 times EBITDA in the last 12 months. This EBITDA is calculated using CAA and CCL’s last 12 month EBITDA and NovAmérica’s annualized last 10 month EBITDA.
 
INVESTMENTS
 
Cosan’s investment flows totaled R$1.8 billion in FY’10, totaling capex of R$1.9 billion, chiefly in greenfield projects, co-generation projects, planting and inter-harvest maintenance, less R$115.5 million from the sale of the aviation fuel business.
 
Consolidated capex was 43.1% higher than in the previous year, mainly due to the inclusion of NovAmérica’s assets, investments of R$143.8 million by Rumo, the return of planting costs to historical levels and the inclusion of CCL for the entire year, versus only four months in FY’09.

CAA
 
In FY’10, the Company’s planting investments totaled R$211.9 million, representing a return to historical levels. Planted area came to 53,600 hectares, versus 28,100 hectares in FY’09. Land preparation in as yet unplanted areas is also included in this line.
 
Inter-harvest maintenance investments totaled R$260.9 million, chiefly due to the addition of the NovAmérica units and the impact of the shorter inter-harvest period, which increased the need for third-party services.
 
As of this quarter, investments in “Health, safety and the environment & prevention”, which came to R$45.0 million in FY’10, will be recognized separately in order to highlight those investments in our units designed to generate gains in efficiency.
 
The company invested R$30.5 million in mechanization, giving a mechanization ratio of 64.5%.
 
Various CAA projects absorbed R$174.2 million, mainly consisting of investments in the industrial and agricultural areas, aiming to increase the productivity and efficiency of the company’s units.
 
Electricity co-generation investments amounted to R$376.4 million, 15% up on the year before, reflecting the conclusion of certain projects (Copi, Gasa and Rafard), the operational start-up of two major projects (Barra and Bonfim) and the beginning of works in other plants.

Expansion projects absorbed R$133.4 million, related to the expansion of the Costa Pinto, Gasa, Bonfim, Barra, Tamoio, Ipaussu and Junqueira sugar plants, increasing the company’s production capacity by approximately 400,000 tones per year.
 
In June 2009, the Company concluded the acquisition of NovAmérica (for more details, see section G – Material Facts).
 
Rumo
 
Rumo began investing in locomotives and rolling stock in 4Q’10, totaling R$143.8 million in FY’10. The company received a BNDES financing line to acquire these assets.
 
CCL
 
CCL invested R$87.8 million in improvements to service stations, terminal expansions and renovations. The R$76 million increase over FY’09 was mainly due to the inclusion of a full year of the company’s investments for the first time in FY’10.
 
Effects of the Tax Recovery Program (“Refis”)
 
The Company entered in the Tax Recovery Program set by the Brazilian Government in accordance with law No. 11.941/09 and Provisional Measure MP 470/09. In the scope of these programs, Cosan had deductions in tax liabilities contingent, mainly related to recovery of taxes and federal contributions with premium IPI credit and IPI credit on purchases of raw material and inputs with zero tax rate, exempt and not exempt, which generated a benefit in the FY’10, recognized under Other Operating Revenues, in the amount of R$ 270.3 million. Additionally, this program also enabled the company to use income tax losses credits in the amount of approximately R$ 204 million, to reduce tax obligations that were previously being the subject contest of dispute by the Company. This last benefit, in spite of not impacting the result under the accounting point of view, benefited the Company in the sense that the mentioned tax credits are used only as the Company presents profit according to tax criteria, and is limited to 30% compensation in each annual period.
 
RETAINED EARNINGS PROPOSAL
 
It will be proposed, at Cosan S.A. General Shareholders’ Meeting that will take place on July 30th, 2010, that Retained Earnings amount R$266.3 million, being partially designated for the Company’s annual investment program, established on the FY’11 Budget that will also be analyzed and approved at above mentioned General Shareholders Meeting.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
In 2002 we established a partnership with the University of Campinas – UNICAMP to develop a system of geographical information, aiming at improvement of the monitoring of our crops. Through this partnership we have developed a tool that monitors the sugar cane crops using satellite images. The system provides subsidy for conduction of more precise production estimates, in addition to generating extremely detailed information concerning the general conditions of our cane fields, which gives us the opportunity of enhancing the procedures for management of agricultural cultures. Presently we monitor all of the land areas where we produce sugarcane, whether on our own land or on leased areas or suppliers’ areas.
 
We have established service agreements with the following technological institutes for development of new varieties of sugarcane: Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (Sugarcane Technology Center), or CTC, of which we are the majority shareholder; Federal University of São Carlos – UFSCAR and Instituto Agronômico de Pesquisa (Agronomics Research Institute), or IAC. The CTC is a private institution intended for research and development of new technologies for agricultural, logistics and industrial activities, as well as for creation of new varieties of sugarcane. The CTC developed the biodegradable plastic (PHB) and biological alternatives for control of plagues. Furthermore, it created the VVHP sugar (with extremely high polarization), which requires less energy to be processed, and also developed the co-generation technology. We analyze the best forms for possible use of our varieties of sugarcane in view of the different soil and climatic conditions of the five main regions of the State of São Paulo.
 
We have maintained an agreement with CanaVialis S.A. (“CanaVialis”) since June 2006, to provide to Cosan a program of genetic enhancement of sugarcane specifically developed for our mills. The Company has been obtaining benefits from its support service and from the use of its bio-plant, which allows us to reduce the time that is necessary for production of seedlings and provides for us access to new and improved varieties of sugarcane by means of its genetic enhancement program. In 2006 CanaVialis implemented an experimental station at our Destivale unit, which conducts tests of new species of sugarcane specially selected for Cosan’s production structure.
 
We analyze and develop, together with our suppliers and partners, different types of input, machinery and agricultural implements used to facilitate and improve the cultivation of sugarcane, considering also the different conditions of our soil. We share this technology with sugarcane suppliers so that they can obtain better sugarcane yields and quality.
 
In December 2009 the partnership between Cosan and Amyris was announced, which aims at implementation of Amyris technology in one of the mills of the group for production of biofuels with high added value. With an investment of up to R$50 million, in addition to producing sugar and ethanol the unit will be also able to produce farnasene, a chemical component that results from fermentation of sugarcane syrup with yeasts. The partnership is still in a phase of study of the implementation and obtainment of capital for investment.

For Cosan, the development of new sources of renewable energy, such as the biofuels, is strategic, and this work with Amyris is part of this context.


PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Oriented by principles of eco-efficiency, the operations of the Cosan Group are regulated by environmental licenses issued by the various pertinent authorities of the States in which we are present. Our units seek to develop and implement management systems that are recognized worldwide.

Either together with government agencies or in a segregated form, the Company conducts a number of actions with a positive impact on the ecosystem of the communities of its area of influence. Among these actions are the reforesting of ciliar vegetation, ichthyologic repopulation of rivers, recovery of water springs, programs for forest firefighting, implementation of green belts around the industrial units, environmental, landscaping and urbanism recovery of rivers, as well as projects for recovery of hydrographic basins. Cosan’s environmental policy has sought to always observe the following principles: (i) environmental management as a priority and determinant factor for conduction of sustainable development; (ii) continual adjustment to applicable environmental legislation; (iii) adoption of recommendations that result from environmental preservation technical/scientific advancements; and, (iv) use of resources in a way that can assure integration and equilibrium between environmental protection and agricultural/industrial development.

Following its policy, jointly with another three partners Cosan announced the conduction in June/08 of the first international shipment of ethanol with a socio-environmental seal and with verification of important sustainability criteria. The transaction, shipment of which had Sweden as its destination, is the result of a pioneering agreement executed between Cosan and other ethanol producers with Swedish corporation Sekab, the most important buyer of Brazilian ethanol in Europe. The agreement is an initiative of the companies involved in the transaction, aimed at taking the first step in a process of continual improvement, with the purpose of serving one of the most demanding consumers in the world. It is important to stress that the mills were able to meet the requirements of the European consumer without altering their current operating practices.

The major innovation of this agreement is the formal establishment of a process of certification by means of an international and independent company, which will conduct auditing at all of the production units twice-a-year, in order to verify compliance with the following established criteria: (i) reduction of emission of carbon dioxide; (ii) minimum levels of harvest mechanization; (iii) commitment to preservation of the areas of native forest; (iv) zero tolerance for child and non-regulated labor; (v) observance of the minimum

wages of the sector; and (vi) adhesion to and compliance with the targets established by the Agro-Environmental Protocol.

In this way, the companies show evidence of compliance with labor laws, respect for environmental norms and also strengthen their commitment to adjustment to the rules of the Agro-Environmental Protocol, executed with the State of São Paulo and stipulating the end of the practice of burning the crops until 2014.
As regards Cosan CL, we will be proceeding with all of the projects related to the environment, among which, are highlighted (i) the Esso-Mamirauá Program for Environmental Education in the Central Amazon Region; (ii) the OndAzul Foundation, which is dedicated to preservation of aquatic ecosystems, and (iii) the PiraCena Project, which aims at study and recovery of the Piracicaba River Basin, in São Paulo. Cosan CL, which has always been committed to maintaining high standards of safety, healthy and care with the environment, maintaining awareness of the importance of managing the businesses with the purpose of preventing incidents and controlling spillage and loss of fuels, as well as of rapid and efficient response to incidents resulting from operations, cooperating with the industrial organizations and with the authorized government agencies.


HUMAN RESOURCES

In the last fiscal year we had results that were relevantly positive in matters concerning Occupational Safety and Health. The corporate team was restructured and began to rely on specialists in the areas of Management, Hygiene, Ergonomics and Emergency Control Systems. This year projects were developed that contributed to a reduction of more than 20% of the TF – Frequency Rate for lost-time accidents, when compared with the previous fiscal year. Among the projects implemented we highlight: (i) the PROEX – Programs for Behavioral Excellence, (ii) the Skills Development for Investigation and Analysis of Accidents and of Occupational Hygiene, and (iii) the Safety Audit in the Agricultural and Industrial areas and the 5 Ss Program.

The company consolidated its professional skills development programs, with strong activity and investments in structured programs for development of managers, leaders and engineers, through an internal MBA and skills development training for professionals of the technical and production areas. In the last year the bases were structured for a solid career and succession plans in the Company, in addition to continuity of the performance and competencies appraisal programs, based on the meritocracy method.

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING AND NEW BUSINESS

During the fiscal year ended on March 31, 2010, the principal corporate transactions carried out by the Company were:

a.  Novo Rumo Logística S.A.

According to the shareholders agreement executed on April 9, 2008, harbor concessions and assets for export of sugar of the Company and of Rezende Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (“Rezende Barbosa”) were concentrated in Novo Rumo Logística S.A. (“Novo Rumo”), which is indirectly controlled by the Company.

COSAN LIMITED
 
Management Report
March 31st, 2010
 
 
On April 10, 2009 the Company and Rezende Barbosa, which is controller of Nova América, provided for integration of the Cosan and Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (“Teaçu”) port terminals, which until then had been controlled by Rezende Barbosa. As a result of its transaction, which involved payment of R$121,331 million and issuance of shares of Novo Rumo, the Company acquired 100% of Teaçu, thereby indirectly holding 64.06% of Novo Rumo, with 28.82% remaining in possession of Rezende Barbosa.

b.  Curupay Participações S.A.

On June 18, 2009 the shareholders of the Company approved in an Annual Shareholders’ Meeting the acquisition of Curupay S.A. Participações (“Curupay”), formerly controlled by Rezende Barbosa, through e issuance of 44,300,389 common shares, with equity value of R$334,172 million, the market value of which on that date was R$624,192 million.

As from such date, the Company absorbed in its net equity the investment of Curupay, represented (i) 28.82% of participation in Novo Rumo, (ii) 100% of direct participation in Nova América S.A. Trading, and (iii) 100% of direct and indirect participation in Cosan Alimentos S.A. (“Cosan Alimentos”, formerly named Nova América S.A. - Agroenergia) and relevant subsidiaries.

f.  Joint Venture with Shell

In February 2010 the Company executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding, valid for 180 days, with Shell International Petroleum Company Ltd. ("Shell"), by which they plan to create a joint venture involving the sugar, ethanol and fuel distribution assets of the Company and the fuel distribution assets of Shell in Brazil. Formalization of this agreement is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions and conclusion of the negotiations.

PERSPECTIVES

The new fiscal year promises to be one of major challenges for all of the Cosan business units. The joint venture with Shell must have its negotiations completed and its terms approved by the regulating agencies. Rumo Logística has an ambitious plan of conduction of investments, while the co-generation of energy is expected to have 10 units producing and delivering energy.

During this year the fuels distribution sector will have a major opportunity for growth and for obtainment of important synergies through the joint venture with Shell. Once the joint venture is approved, a number of measures related to integration of the assets and consequent corporate restructuring will be necessary. The joint venture will permit obtaining volume gains that, together with the logistics and administrative operating synergies, will create all of the opportunities for the new company to become the most efficient in the sector.

Rumo Logística has declared that as from January 2010 the agreements with ALL became valid and enforceable in all of their covenanted terms and conditions. Thus, the investments plan of approximately R$1,2 billion will continued to be implemented so as to increase the capacity of rail transport of bulk sugar and its sub-products, from the present 2 million tons to approximately 11 million by 2013, securing new customers, motivating them to migrate from highway transportation to the railway modal, which is more efficient, economical and integrated with the port services.
 
In the area of trading energy from sugarcane bagasse (co-generation) we will have major advancements with the start-up of new production units (Barra, Bonfim, Jataí and Caarapó), which during this harvest will start trading surplus energy, so as to perform their contractual obligations established by means of prices negotiated in the energy auctions that have been held.

 
105

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
Management Report
March 31st, 2010
 
 
The sugar and ethanol segment will continue to offer major opportunities for growth and consolidation, mainly from the prices cycle of the sugar commodity, which is entering a worldwide surplus phase, after 2 consecutive years of deficit. Furthermore, this year, after execution of the joint venture with Shell, we will be well capitalized and with low leverage in order to select the best deals in the M&A market, contributing to increased consolidation of the sector. In addition, the processes of continual enhancement and the quest for efficiencies in our production costs, in the existing and acquired units, will continue to guide us.

For all of this, we expect this year to take an important step towards our mission of offering increasingly cleaner energy for peoples’ lives, without losing our focus on being a world benchmark in terms of clean and renewable energy.

Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial statements (Continued)

During 2009 the CPC issued, and CVM approved, several standards, interpretations and guidelines requiring companies to present new financial statements for the comparative year. These standards are mandatory only for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2010 with the requirement to present comparative figures.

As an alternative, the Company could have adopted the standards applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, for the accounting period ended as early as March 31, 2010, provided it did so for the entirety of the earlier period. The Company elected not to apply the aforementioned standards for the relevant financial statements. The Company hereinafter presents brief descriptions that to the best of its understanding will explain potential significant changes in relation to the accounting principles previously adopted for financial statements as of March 31, 2010, and also comparative periods. Additionally, below is some information that according to the Company's management may have significant impacts on the Company's financial statements as a result of future transactions.

 
·
CPC 15 – Business Combinations, approved in CVM Statement No. 580 dated July 31, 2009

This standard essentially sets forth principles and requirements applicable to an acquiring entity taking part in a combination of businesses.

The Company anticipates that the disclosed figures relating to the acquisition of Teaçu and Curupay will change when this standard, which introduces a new technique that measures goodwill as expected future earning power, is applied retroactively to April 1, 2009, as a result of measuring the net assets of Teaçu and Curupay at the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities (including any identified intangible assets), as well as in view of the measurement of the relevant payment methods used. Therefore, as it will be eliminated, against shareholders’ equity, goodwill deriving from minority interest when there is no change in control.

This standard essentially establishes how to recognize, measure, and reduce inventories to their net realizable value, as well as certain criteria related to costing, manner of allocating costs to results and the requirement to disclose inventory information in notes to financial statements.

The Company does not anticipate the cited standard will have any significant impact on its financial statements, as its inventory-related accounting practices are aligned with those set forth in the cited CPC standard, except that agricultural produce from sugar cane plantations will comply with CPC 29 – Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce.

 
·
CPC 20 – Loan Costs, approved in CVM Statement No. 577 dated June 5, 2009

This standard sets forth a method of accounting for loan costs susceptible of being capitalized in the cost of certain assets deemed eligible, and which are directly attributable to the acquisition, building or manufacture of such assets.

The Company does not capitalize loan costs directly attributable to eligible assets. Thus, the aforementioned standard may have some impact on the Company's financial statements depending on what option will be evaluated by the Company's management in 2010.

 
·
CPC 22 – Segment Reporting, approved in CVM Statement No. 582 dated July 31, 2009

This standard requires that the Company will disclose financial information segregated by its operating segments.

·
CPC 26 – Presentation of Financial Statements, approved in CVM Statement No. 595 dated September 15, 2009

This standard sets out the basis for presentation of financial statements by establishing general presentation requirements, financial statement structuring guidelines and the minimum level of information to be included in an entity's financial statements.

Two new requirements were introduced in relation to the prior standard: (i) disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) and (ii) disclosure of three balance sheets in situations where the Company employs accounting policies retroactively or restate its financial statements.

 
·
CPC 27 – Property Plant and Equipment, approved in CVM Statement No. 583 dated July 31 2009

CPC 29 – Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce, approved in CVM Statement No. 596 dated September 15, 2009

This standard sets out the accounting treatment and financial statement disclosure rules for biological assets and agricultural produce, particularly with regard to the manner of measurement. Such assets are measured at their transformation-date fair value, with immediate impact on income.

The Company anticipates this standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements, since its current accounting policy regarding biological assets and agricultural produce (represented by sugar cane plantations and harvests) is at considerable variance with the accounting policy established by this Technical Pronouncement.

Below is a brief description of the main expected impacts:

 
i)
Change in the manner of recognizing gains and losses by using fair value instead of formation historical cost.

 
ii)
Changes in performance metrics on account of the above-described recognition method, since fair value will introduce volatility to income.

 
iii)
Significant increase in disclosure levels in notes to financial statements.

 
iv)
Impacts on dividend policy.

CPC 37 – First-Time Adoption of International Accounting Standards, approved in CVM Statement No. 609 dated December 22, 2009, and CPC 43, Initial Application of CPC Standards 15 through 40, approved in CVM Statement No. 610 dated December 22, 2009

The goal of CPC Standard No. 37 is to establish guidelines to ensure that financial statements are prepared in accordance with international accounting rules set forth by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These CPCs introduce new exemptions that can impact the Company's financial statements, especially with regard to Property Plant and Equipment and pension plans.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)     Revenue Recognition

Income from operations is determined in conformity with the accrual accounting method. Sales revenues are reported as gross figures, that is, they include taxes levied and discounts applied on said revenues, which are presented as contra-revenue accounts.  Revenue derived from sales of products is recognized in the income when a product is delivered, and all risks and benefits are transferred, to the purchaser. Revenue derived from sales of services is recognized in the income when services are effectively provided by the Company.

b)     Conversion of Balances Expressed in Foreign Currency

(i) Functional Currency and Currency of Financial Statement Presentation

The Company's functional currency is the Brazilian real, which is also the currency used for presentation of both parent (Company) and consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of each consolidated subsidiary and those used as basis for investment appraisal using the equity accounting method are prepared using the functional currency of each company.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Brazilian reais at year-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated using average-for-the year exchange rates. The effects of this currency translation are recorded in the shareholders' equity of each such subsidiary.

(ii) Transactions Expressed in Foreign Currency

Money assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to Brazilian reais using the prevailing exchange rate at each respective subsidiary's year end. The results of converting these assets and liabilities at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction and at the exchange rate prevailing on each respective year end are recognized as either financial income or expense on the statement of income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

c)     Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognized only at the date on which the Company becomes a party to the relevant financial instrument agreement. When recognized, financial instruments are initially recorded at their fair value plus any transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance, except that for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value through income, such costs are allocated directly in the year's statement of income. Subsequent measurement of such assets and liabilities occurs at each year end in accordance with the rules applicable to each financial asset and liability classification category as follows:

Financial assets: These assets are classified into one of the following categories based on the nature of each financial instrument contracted or issued:

 
(i)
Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss: These include financial assets maintained for negotiation and assets designated at initial recognition at fair value through income. Assets are classified as maintained for negotiation if they originate for the purpose of being sold or repurchased in the short term. Derivatives also are measured at fair value through income, save for those designated as hedge instruments.  Interest, inflation adjustments, exchange variations and variations resulting from valuation at fair value are recognized on the statement of income when incurred in either the financial revenue or expense line.

 
(ii)
Investments Held to Maturity: Non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or determinable payments with defined maturity for which the Company has a firm intent and ability to maintain until the maturity date. Interest, inflation adjustments, exchange variations, less impairment losses, where applicable, are recognized on the statement of income when incurred in either the financial revenue or expense line.

 
(iii)
Receivables: Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, however not listed in an active market. Interest, inflation adjustments, exchange variations, less impairment losses, where applicable, are recognized on the statement of income when incurred in either the financial revenue or expense line.
 
   
The main financial assets recognized by the Company are cash and cash equivalents, trade notes receivable, derivative financial instruments and a loss and damages award.

c)      Financial Instruments (Continued)

Financial liabilities: These liabilities are classified into one of the following categories based on the nature of each financial instrument contracted or issued:

 
(i)
Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss: These include financial liabilities usually traded before maturity, liabilities designated at initial recognition at fair value through income and derivatives, except derivatives designated as hedge instruments. Interest, inflation adjustment, exchange variations and variations resulting from valuation at fair value, where applicable, are recognized in the income when they are incurred.

 
(ii)
Financial Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value: These include non-derivative financial liabilities not usually traded before maturity. Interest, inflation adjustment and exchange variations, where applicable, are recognized in the income when they are incurred.
 
   
The main financial liabilities recognized by the Company are loans and financings, vendor accounts payable and derivative financial instruments.


Market Value: The market value of financial instruments actively traded in organized markets is determined based on their listed prices at year end. Where no active markets exist, the market value is determined through certain valuation techniques. These techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the market value of similar financial instruments, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation methods.

d)      Cash and Cash Equivalents

These include checking account balances and investments callable within 90 days from investment date, recorded at their cost plus any earnings accrued until year end, and for which there is negligible risk that any change in value will not exceed their market values.

Investments deemed as cash equivalents are mainly classified in the “financial assets measure at fair value through income” category. Please see Note 4 for further details on such investments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

e)      Trade Accounts Receivables

These include customer receivables and are reduced to their likely realization value by use of an allowance. This allowance for doubtful accounts is established at such amount as the management deems sufficient to compensate for any losses in collecting accounts receivable.

f)       Inventories

Inventories are valuated at average acquisition or production cost, however not to exceed the market value. Provisions for obsolete or slow-moving inventories are established whenever the management deems necessary.

During the period in which sugar cane plantations are developing, the associated costs are recorded in a fixed asset account. After this development period, annual plantation upkeep costs are considered in the current year's upkeep costs, as crops, together with harvesting costs, plant depreciation and allocated overhead costs. Annual upkeep costs include tillage, spraying, trimming and fertilizer costs, which are allocated to production costs based on the amount of sugar cane that is crushed during the harvest season.
 
At Cosan harvest begins in March and April each year and usually ends in November or December. Significant maintenance activities are performed from January through March.

g)      Investments

The Company's investments in controlled and subsidiary companies are valuated by the equity pickup method. Other investments are valuated at acquisition cost less a devaluation allowance, where applicable.

h)      Property Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at the acquisition or building cost, net of tax credits. Depreciation of assets is computed using the straight-line method down to such residual values as are estimated using rates that take into account the useful lives described in Note 9.

Formation costs of sugar cane plantations are stated at cost and amortized over a 5-year period.

Cosan schedules and performs maintenance work on its facilities on a yearly basis. Maintenance work is carried out from January through March, during which period Cosan will inspect its equipment for defective components and perform replacements as applicable. Primary maintenance costs include labor, materials, and contractor costs, as well as overhead expenses allocated during the harvest off-season. Cosan uses the built-in overhaul method to account for the annual costs of primary maintenance activities. Thus, the estimated share in the total cost of a given piece of equipment that needs to be replaced every year is recorded as part of the cost of that particular piece of equipment and depreciated over the next harvest season.  Replacements then occur during annual scheduled maintenance activities. Regular maintenance costs are expensed as incurred since replaced components do not enhance crushing capacity nor introduce any improvements to equipment.

The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets when certain events or changes in asset circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or of a group of assets, may not be recoverable.

i)       Leasing

Financial lease agreements are recognized as Property Plant and Equipment and in liabilities as loans and financings, at the least of either the present value of minimum contractual mandatory repayments or the asset's fair value. Amounts recorded as Property Plant and Equipment are depreciated over the asset's estimated useful life or the lease agreement term, whichever is shorter. Implied interest on loans and financings recognized in liabilities are recognized in the income according to each agreement term using the actual interest rate method.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

i)       Leasing (Continued)

Operating lease agreements are recognized as expense consistently on such basis that represents the period during which the intended benefit is obtained from the leased asset, even if the relevant payments are not made on such basis.

j)       Intangibles

Any expected future earning power (goodwill) generated from investment acquisitions occurred by or before March 31, 2009, were amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 10 years until the foregoing date. Beginning on April 1, 2009, goodwill ceased to be amortized and is now subject to an annual test for impairment.

On March 31, 2009, software license rights and other intangibles were reclassified from the Property Plant and Equipment account to intangible assets in the amounts of R$26,475 and R$28,711, respectively for the parent and consolidated statements, and were amortized using the straight-line over their useful lives.

k)     Impairment Review

Management reviews the net carrying amount of assets yearly for the purpose of identifying events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that may indicate deterioration or impairment. Where evidence of such events is present and the net carrying amount exceeds the recoverable value of an asset, a provision is established for impairment and the net carrying amount is adjusted to the recoverable value. The counter-entry to this provision is classified in other operating expenses.

l)      Other Current and Non-Current Assets

Other asses are recognized when it is likely that the future benefits of an asset will accrue to the Company and its cost and value can be reasonably measured. These assets are presented in accordance with the timing and value of realization, including, where applicable, any earnings, inflation adjustments and exchange variations.

m)     Liabilities

A liability is recognized when it results from a legal obligation of the Company or from past events and it is likely that funds will be required to settle the same. Some liabilities are inherently uncertain with regard to term and amount, and are thus estimated as incurred and accounted for in a provision. Provisions are recorded based on best estimates of the associated risks.

n)      Stock-Based Compensation

The senior management of the Company receive a portion of their compensation in the form of stock-based compensation, the settlement of which is also made in stock. The costs of such transactions are recognized in the income over the period in which an officer rendered its services to the Company, being also offset against a capital reserve and measured at fair value. This fair value is measured at stock plan award time and is not subject to any subsequent changes whatsoever.

o)      Taxation

Sales revenues are subject to taxation in accordance with the prevailing applicable Brazilian laws.

Relevant taxes are stated as deductions from sales in the income statement. Specifically, credits generated by non-cumulative PIS/COFINS are reported as reducing the cost of products sold in income statements. No tax is levied on export revenues nor on the income of direct subsidiaries Cosan International and Cosan Finance, and of indirect subsidiaries CCL Finance Limited and America Trading Investments, S.A.

Income taxation includes both the income tax and a social security contribution. Income tax is levied at the rate of 15%, plus a 10% surcharge on any income that exceeds R$240 in a period of 12 months, while the social security contribution is levied at the rate of 9%, on taxable income recognized on an accrual basis.  Deferred taxes relative to tax losses, the social security negative taxable basis and interim differences are reported in current and non-current assets and calculated by the rates prevailing at realization time, as well as reviewed yearly. These tax credits are recognized only to the extent it is likely that a taxable basis will exist against which interim differences may be used.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

o)      Taxation (Continued)

Advance tax payments or amounts subject to offsetting are reported in current and non-current assets, in accordance with their estimated realization.

p)      Loans and Financing

Loans and financings are updated against inflation adjustments or exchange variations, as applicable, and include any interest accrued by or before year end.

q)      Adjustment of Assets and Liabilities to Present Value

Long-term money assets and liabilities are adjusted to their present value, while short-term assets and liabilities are adjusted when the impact of such adjustment is deemed significant with regard to the combined financial statements. Adjustment to present value is calculated considering contractual provisions and explicit, and in certain situations, implicit, interest rate of each respective asset and liability. If relevant, this interest is reassigned to financial expense and income lines on the income statement.

r)      Accounting Estimates

The Company and its subsidiaries employ estimates for the purpose of measuring and recognizing certain assets and liabilities in their financial statements. Computation of such estimates takes into account experience learned with past and current events, assumptions regarding future events and other criteria, both objective and subjective.  Significant estimates include determination of useful lives of fixed and intangible assets; allowance for doubtful accounts; provision for inventory losses; provision for investment losses; impairment testing of fixed and intangible assets; expected realization of deferred income tax and social security contribution; rates and periods employed in determining the present value adjustment for certain assets and liabilities; provision for court decisions and actuarial liabilities; measurement of the fair value of stock-based compensation and financial instruments; recognition and measurement of development costs classified in intangible assets; and estimates concerning disclosure of sensitivity analysis schedule for derivative financial instruments in conformity with CVM Statement No. 475/08.

r)       Accounting Estimates (Continued)

Settlement of transactions involving the foregoing estimates may result in figures significantly different from those reported on financial statements on account of inherent inaccuracies of the estimation process. The Company reviews its estimates and underlying assumptions from time to time.

s)      Income (Loss) per Share

Income (loss) per share is calculated taking into account the number of outstanding shares at year end.

t)      Consolidation of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include financial information of the Company and of its subsidiaries and were prepared in conformity with basic consolidation principles. The consolidation process includes the following steps: (i) Intercompany assets and liabilities are eliminated; (ii) Equity investments in subsidiaries, proportionate to the parent company interest in the shareholders’ equity of subsidiaries, are eliminated; (iii) Intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated; and (iv) Significant unearned intercompany income is eliminated, when relevant.

The fiscal years of consolidated entities reflect that of the Company, or the effects determined as of March 31, 2010, were considered for consolidation purposes.  Accounting policies were applied consistently at consolidated entities and in keeping with the policies used in the precedent year.

Special purpose entities are consolidated when their relationship with the Company denotes that the former are controlled by the latter. Control is evidenced, among others, by an assessment of the Company's exposure to risks associated with, and benefits generated by the relevant entity.

The receivable of Cosanpar and of its direct subsidiary Cosan CL as of March 31, 2009, essentially related to loan transactions for the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the transition process regarding acquisition of Cosan CL. The foregoing balances did not accrue interest. In the course of the period ended on March 31, 2010, both balances were settled with the proceeds of the sale of Jacta (see Note 8) by Cosan CL. Since these amounts exceeded the balances previously owed to Cosan, the latter became a debtor of Cosan CL. The balance resulting from the transactions, which was also maintained as loan, does not accrue interest.

The receivable from Rezende Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (“Rezende Barbosa”) is related to credits assumed by that company, in connection with the acquisition of Cosan Alimentos.

The balance payable to Cosan Finance Limited refers to future sugar export prepayment loan agreements to be settled in 2014, 2015 and 2016, which are subject to the US dollar exchange variation and Libor annual interest rate, plus spread from 4.75% to 4.85% per year.

The balance payable to CCL Finance Limited refers to prepayment contracts for future sugar exports to be settled in 2014, which is subject to US Dollar exchange variation and annual interest of 9.5%.

The amount payable to Cosan Limited concerned floating rate notes issued by Cosan CL in the amount of US$175.000 with maturities in 2018. These notes bore variable interest at a rate equal to the 3-month Libor rate plus 2.8% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. Cosan CL prepaid this debt fully in the course of the period ended on March 31, 2010, using funds raised through senior notes with maturities in 2014 (see Note 13).

The balance payable to Logispot Armazéns Gerais S.A. (“Logispot”) refers to the outstanding payment of interest acquired, the details of which are described in Note 8.

At March 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary Cosan Açúcar e Álcool were lessees of approximately 68,000 hectares of related companies land (unaudited information). Furthermore, following the merger of Cosan Alimentos in June 2009, the Company has acquired 2,784 thousand metric tonnes of sugar cane from Rezende Barbosa. These operations are carried out under conditions and prices similar to those prevailing in the market, calculated based on sugarcane tons per hectare, valued in accordance with the price established by CONSECANA.

Business combination with Grupo Rezende Barbosa

 
a.
Novo Rumo Logística S.A.

According to the shareholders’ agreement executed on April 9, 2008, the port concessions and assets for sugar export owned by the Company and by Rezende Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (“Rezende Barbosa”) were concentrated on Novo Rumo Logística S.A. (“Novo Rumo”), which is indirectly controlled by the Company.

On April 10, 2009 the Company and Rezende Barbosa, parent company of Grupo Nova América integrated the port terminals of Cosan and Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (“Teaçu”), a subsidiary of Rezende Barbosa. As a consequence of this operation, which involved the payment of R$121,331 and the issuance of shares of Novo Rumo, the Company acquired 100% of Teaçu, becoming the indirect holder of a 64.06% interest of Rumo, and 28.82% remained held by Rezende Barbosa. This operation resulted in a R$69,145 goodwill classified as Intangible assets.

In addition, the capital reorganization resulted in a total net capital loss of R$31,190, recorded in results for the year as Other operating income (expenses), net.

b.
Curupay Participações S.A.

At a Special General Meeting held on June 18, 2009 the Company’s shareholders approved the acquisition of Curupay S.A. Participações (“Curupay”), then a subsidiary of Rezende Barbosa, through the issuance of 44,300,389 common shares for the equity amount of R$334,172, and whose market value on that date was R$624,192.

Beginning that date, the Company incorporated in its net asset the Curupay’s investments, comprising (i) 28.82% interest in Novo Rumo, (ii) 100% direct interest in Nova América S.A. Trading, and (iii) 100% direct and indirect interest in Cosan Alimentos S.A. (“Cosan Alimentos”, previously known as Nova América S.A. – Agroenergia) and subsidiaries. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company increased to 92.88% its direct and indirect interest in Novo Rumo, generating R$3,052 of capital gain, recorded in the results for the year as Other operating income (expenses), net.

At the closing of that operation, the Company recorded R$102,952 goodwill, arising from the equity variation between the date of net assets calculation at book value and the date of approval of Curupay’s merger by the Company shareholders on June 18, 2009.

On November 18, 2009, Cosan Alimentos absorbed with Nova América S.A. Trading.

For purposes of consolidation of Cosan Alimentos and Nova América S.A. Trading, the opening balance taken into consideration was that of net assets adjusted to the Company’s accounting practices on June 1, 2009.

Sale of aircraft fuel business to Shell do Brasil Ltda.

On June 17, 2009, Cosanpar sold to Shell the aviation fuel business, for R$115,601. As a result of this operation, Cosanpar fully wrote off the cost of R$22,504, generating a R$93,097 net gain on this transaction, recorded in the results for the year as Other operating income (expenses), net (Note 19). Consequently, the corresponding goodwill was recorded in the amount of R$85,589.

(i) As presented in Note 11, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries Cosan Alimentos, Cosan Açúcar e Álcool, Bonfim Nova Tamoio – BNT Agrícola Ltda., Benalcool Açúcar e Álcool S.A. and Administração de Participações Aguassanta Ltda. opted for the payment in installments of Refis IV, related to ongoing legal demands involving undue use of IPI credit premium and other federal taxes. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries utilize accumulated tax losses to pay these demands and the fines and interest thereof. Subsequently, the claims related to the remaining credit premium - IPI were fully paid for in installments, as well as installments of other federal taxes, which were recorded under taxes and contributions payable.

(ii) On May 27, 2009, the paragraph 1st and 3rd of Law No 9718/98 that regulated the collection of PIS and Cofins (federal tax contributions) on exchange variation and other financial income was revoked by Refis IV. The Company has evaluated its ongoing judicial demands related to the legal obligations not paid related to the increase of calculation basis of PIS and Cofins, confirming the absence of errors or flaws in the ongoing demands, reason why on March 31, 2010, the Company reversed the provision for accounting for the respective legal liabilities in its financial statements in the amount of R$53,810.

Provision for judicial demands (Continued)

(iii) In 1993 subsidiary Cosan CL filed a suit to challenge the balance sheet restatement index (IPC) established by the federal government in 1989, which index did not reflect the actual inflation back then. The use of this index caused the Company to supposedly overstate and overpay the IRPJ and CSLL. Cosan CL obtained a favorable preliminary order that allowed it to recalculate the balance sheet restatement, now using indexes that accurately measured the inflation over the relevant period. In doing so the company rectified the amounts of IRPJ and CSLL payable. Identified overpayments for both taxes were offset in subsequent years until 1997, when the balance was zeroed. Despite the favorable court rulings, tax authorities issued a notice of infringement to the Company challenging all tax offsets performed in 1993 and some offsets in 1994 and 1997. Given the contingent nature of this tax offsetting, associated amounts were also recorded as a provision for court rulings and have been restated against the variation of the SELIC rate.

(iv) From June through December 1994, subsidiary Conan CL offset COFINS and several other taxes with previously paid amounts of FINSOCIAL. This offsetting was backed in a preliminary order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in a suit brought to challenge the constitutionality of FINSOCIAL.

In 1995 Cosan CL was declared exempt from COFINS levies. Thus, the company understood that past offsets of COFINS against FINSOCIAL were not in order and in 2003, based on another favorable court ruling relative to FINSOCIAL, concluded that FINSOCIAL credits previously offset against CONFINS were once again available to be offset against other tax liabilities. The Company then offset these credits against IRPJ, CSLL, CIDE, PIS, COFINS and IRRF resulting from its operations. Once again, because of the contingent nature of this procedure the Company recorded the full offset amount as a provision for court rulings until the Federal Revenue Service ratified this offsetting.
 
In 2008 the Federal Revenue Service dismissed the offsetting performed on the ground that Cosan CL had already used the tax credits to offset COFINS back in 1994. In view of this understanding, the management of the Company decided to challenge the administrative decisions, which is pending judgment at the Taxpayers' Council. The amount recorded as provision for court ruling has been restated against the SELIC rate.

(i)
Notice of infringement – Income tax withheld at source

In September 2006 the Federal Revenue Service served another notice of infringement on the Company, this time for failure to withhold and pay income tax at source on capital gains derived from the acquisition of a subsidiary company. This notice of infringement led to an administrative proceeding which is deemed a likely loss in the opinion of the Company's legal counsels, the amount of which was not recorded as a provision in the Company's financial statements.

 
(ii)
ICMS - Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Transportation Services

 
This refers essentially to (a) a notice of infringement served on account of an alleged failure to pay ICMS and perform ancillary duties relative to agricultural partnership operations and processing activities outsourced to Central Paulista Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., from May through December 2006, and May through December 2007; (b) ICMS levied on granulated sugar exports which were deemed semi-processed commodities by the tax agent in charge of this assessment, and as such subject to be levied by the ICMS pursuant to the applicable regulation.

(iii)
IPI – Excise Tax on Manufactured Goods

 
IPI as per Normative Instruction No. 67/98: Normative Instruction SRF No. 67/98 validated a procedure whereby manufacturing plants sold several types of cane sugar, including demerara, higher refined, special refined, special extra refined and granulated refined sugars, without assessing and paying IPI from July 6, 1995 through November 16, 1997, as well as amorphous refined sugar sales from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997. This instruction was applied to the relevant proceedings initiated by the Federal Revenue Service, which are deemed as likely losses in the opinion of the Company's legal counsels.

 
(iv)
Offsets against IPI credits – IN 67/98

 
Normative Instruction SRF No. 67/98 made it possible to obtain refund of IPI tax payments for sales of refined amorphous sugar from January 14, 1992 through November 16, 1997. In view of this rule, Cosan Açúcar and Álcool applied for offsetting amounts paid during the relevant periods against other tax liabilities of its own. However, the Federal Revenue Service denied its application for both reimbursement and offsetting of such amounts. Cosan Açúcar and Álcool challenged this ruling in an administrative proceeding.

 
Upon being notified to pay tax debts resulting from offset transactions in light of certain changes introduced by IN SRF No. 210/02, subsidiary Cosan Açúcar and Álcool filed a writ of mandamus and applied for a preliminary injunction seeking to stay enforceability of offset taxes, in an attempt to prevent the tax authorities from demanding the relevant tax debts in court. The preliminary injunction was granted by the competent court. The legal counsel in charge of this suit has deemed it a likely loss.

The amount offset, duly restated as of March 31, 2010, is R$162,928 (R$157,525 at April 30, 2009). Likewise, subsidiary Cosan Alimentos S.A., formerly Nova América S.A. Agroenergia, holds a similar claim against the Federal Revenue Service in the amount of R$11,939, duly restated as of March 31, 2010.  In view of the opinion of its legal counsels, the management of the Company has seen fit not to establish an accounting provision for the amounts involved in this lawsuit.

15.
Accounts receivable from federal government

On February 28, 2007, subsidiary Cosan Açúcar e Álcool recognized gain of R$318,358, corresponding to a lawsuit filed against federal government claiming indemnification for damages since prices of its products, at the time the sector was subject to government control, were imposed not observing the prevailing reality of the sector created by government control itself. A final decision in favor of the subsidiary was handed down. The gain was recorded in the statement of operations for the year, the contra entry being to noncurrent assets of the Company, in receivables from federal government.

The Company awaits a final ruling on the manner of payment. This payment will be effected in the form of court-mandated government bonds which, once issued, will be settled within 10 years.

As of March 31, 2010, the assets reported relative to the suit for loss and damages and related provision for attorney's fees amounted to R$333,733 and R$40,048 (R$323,433 and R$38,812 in 2009), respectively.

Subsidiary Cosan Açúcar e Álcool has other claims for damages of this nature filed against the Federal Government, which are not recognized in accounting since these still represent contingent assets.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company has derivatives in order to mitigate its exposure to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on its revenue from exports. The exchange rate derivatives together with the commodity price derivatives allow ensuring minimum average profit from future production. The Company actively manages contracted positions, and the result of such activities is monitored daily. through effective mark-to-market controls and price impact simulations in order to allow adjusting targets and strategies due to changes in market conditions. The fair value of these derivatives was measured based on estimates that use discounted cash flows based on market curves.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had US$862,118 thousand (US$574,670 thousand in 2009) hedged by future, forward and option contracts traded in BM&FBovespa and OTC, with a positive adjustment to market value estimated at R$52,750 (negative adjustment of R$45,945 in 2009).

e)
Credit risk

A significant portion of sales made by the Company and its subsidiaries is for a selected group of best-in-class counterparts, i.e. trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains. In the fuel distribution activity, the diversity of the receivables, the selected clients and the follow up of financing terms of sales by business segment and individual position limits are procedures adopted to minimize eventual default in the accounts receivable. The Company's sales policy is directly related to the level of credit exposure experienced in the course of its business.

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 and obtaining actual warranties on given credit, when applicable. Management believes that the risk of credit is substantially covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company and its subsidiaries historically have not recorded material losses on trade accounts receivable.

 
f)
Debt acceleration risk

As of March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 2014 and 2017, as described in Note 13, according to their market value, were 114.85% and 103.5%, respectively, of their face value at March 31, 2010.

The fair value of Perpetual Notes as described in Note 13, according to its market value, was 99.80% of its face value at March 31, 2010.

Sensitivity analysis

Pursuant to CVM Rule Nº 475 issued on December 17, 2008, following is the sensitivity analysis of the fair value of financial instruments, in accordance with the types of risks deemed to be significant by the Company:

Assumptions for the Sensitivity Analysis

For the analysis, the Company adopted three scenarios, being one probable and two that may have effects from impairment of the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. The definition of the probable scenario included the market data at March 31, 2010, the same one which determine the fair value of the derivatives at that date and therefore there are no differences in relation to the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. The possible adverse and remote scenarios were established in view of adverse impacts of 25% and 50% on the curves in the prices of the U.S. dollar and sugar:

Insurance

At March 31, 2010, 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 specific buildings, equipment, facilities and machinery.

The Company does not foresee any difficulties to renew its insurance policies and believes that the coverage established is reasonable in terms of amounts and consistent with Brazilian industry standards.

The scope of our independent auditors work did not include an opinion on the sufficiency of the insurance coverage, which, as determined by the Company management, was considered sufficient to cover any claims.

Stock option plan

At the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 30, 2005, the Guidelines for the Outlining and Structuring of a Stock Option Plan for Company’s officers and employees were approved, thus authorizing the issue of up to 5% of the Company’s share capital. The stock option plan was designed to obtain and retain the services rendered by senior officers and employees, offering them the opportunity to become shareholders of the Company. On September 22, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of stock options corresponding to 4.302.780 common shares to be issued by the Company related to 3.25% of the share capital at the time, authorized by the Annual/Extraordinary General Meeting. On that same date, eligible officers were informed of the material terms and conditions of the share-based compensation agreement.

On September 11, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of stock options, corresponding to 450,000 common shares to be issued or purchased by the Company related to 0.24% of the share capital at the time, authorized by the Annual/Extraordinary General Meeting. 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.

On August 7, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an additional distribution of stock options, with no vesting period, corresponding to 165,657 common shares to be issued or purchased by the Company, following a change in the management members.

Stock option plan (Continued)

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.

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.

At March 31, 2010 options equivalent to 653,976 common shares were not exercised.

Until March 31, 2010, all stock option exercises were settled through the issuance of new common shares. Should the remaining options also be exercised through the issuance of new common shares, the current shareholders’ interest would be reduced by 0.16% (0.45% in 2009) after exercising all remaining options.

Stock option plan (Continued)

At March 31, 2010, R$2,960 regarding the unrecognized remuneration cost of stock options will be recognized within nearly six months (R$9,978 in 2009, with a deadline of nearly 18 months).

The fair value of the stock-based compensation plan was estimated using the binomial pricing method against the following assumptions:

The fair value used was the market value at assignment date (R$17.90) since exercise of these options was not subject to a vesting period.

Estimated Time to Exercise – The term estimated by the Company represents such period during which the compensation under the stock option plan must remain outstanding, and was determined based on the assumption that executive officers will effectively exercise their options at the end of the period. Thus, the term was determined based on 5 and 10 years, on average. The Company does not anticipate any variance from this estimate, considering that options are primarily awarded to its own executive officers who are not subject to high turnover or attrition.

Expected Volatility – The Company has elected to replace historical volatility of its stock for an appropriate comprehensive industry index, which is based on stock price volatility, and to factor this index into its pricing model. The Company identified and compared similar publicly-held corporations that operate on a global scale and publish information regarding prices of stock or available options, taking into account the expected or implicit historical volatility of stock prices of such corporations. The Company then estimated the expected volatility of its own stock in this global scenario.

Expected Dividends – Since the Company went public just recently, expected dividends were calculated based on the current price of outstanding stock at award date, adjusted by the average ROI rate during the expected period relative to the book value of stock.

Risk-Free Interest Rate – The Company adopts the SELIC rate.

Segment Reporting (consolidated)

 
a)
Segment Reporting

Segment information is based on information used by the management of Cosan to assess the performance of operating segments and make investment decisions. In view of the changes occurred in the course of the current year as well as of the growth and importance of other business ventures, the Company has modified its current segment structure, which comprises three segments: (i) sugar and ethanol (“CAA”), (ii) fuel and lubricant distribution (“CCL”) and (iii) logistics (“RUMO”). Operating assets associated with these segments are located solely in Brazil.

The primary activity of the CAA segment is the production and marketing of an array of sugarcane by-products, including raw sugar (referred to as VHP), and fuel ethanol, both anhydrous and hydrous. This segment also engages in power cogeneration from sugar cane bagasse.

The CCL segment engages in distribution and marketing of fuels and lubricants, especially through the franchised gas station network of the “Esso” brand in the whole national territory.

The RUMO segment operates logistic services comprising transportation, warehousing and cargo rigging for both the CAA segment (sugar) and third parties.
