A. Main IFRS impacts
 
Þ  
Biological Assets, CPC 29 (IAS 41): the biological assets of the Company are now measured at their fair value, applying the future discounted cash flow method, the impact of which in the variation of fair value for the year ended March 31 , 2011 was R$ 381.9 million (R$44.9 million in 2010).
 
Þ  
Business combination, CPC 15 (IFRS 3): the assets and liabilities of acquired business are evaluated at their fair value at the date of each transaction, increasing, mostly, the basis of the Company fixed assets and, accordingly, the depreciation (therefore no impact in EBITDA). As result, we had higher costs with amortization and depreciation of assets related to the acquisitions of Cosan Alimentos, Teaçu and Esso Brasileira (current CCL), impacting all of the Company’s business units.
 
Þ  
Crop Treatment: Positive impact of R$370.9 million in the year (R$292.4 million in the prior year) due to consideration of crop treatment made in the fields (after planting) as being Capex and as a consequence its amortization being considered for purposes of  EBITDA calculation, which improved the cash cost and as a consequence the EBITDA of CAA;
 
Þ  
Alienation of participation: reversal of R$ 223.0 million (when compared to the old BRGAAP) related to the disposal of participation in Rumo, since, in the IFRS, transactions between controlling shareholders and non controlling do not impact on the result, being directly recognized in net assets.

B. Market Overview
 
Crushing in Center-South (CS) region of Brazil reached 556.8 million tons of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest, an amount 2.75% higher than the previous harvest according to data provided by UNICA. Sugarcane production increased by 16.9%, reaching 33.5 million tons, while ethanol production reached 25.4 billion liters, 7.1% higher than the previous harvest, 18.0 billion liters of which of hydrous ethanol and 7.4 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol. The lower sugarcane availability when compared to the initial projections made by UNICA, resulted from an extremely dry weather which, in spite of maximizing the amount of sugar equivalent in the sugarcane (TSR), has reduced its productivity rate by planted area. TSR per ton of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest totaled 141.20 kg, while during the 2009/10 harvest the TSR totaled 130,23 kg/ton. With the elevated prices in the international market, the production mix for sugar increased from 42.6% in the previous harvest to 44.71% in this harvest.
 
Crushing estimate for 2011/12 harvest is of 568.5 million of sugarcane, which represents an increase of 2.1% when compared to the previous harvest. This low increase for the second year in a row is a result of scarcity of raw materials, mainly impacted by the aging of the reeds due to the lack of investments in the sector, combined with an unfavorable weather condition in the previous harvest, as mentioned above. It is expected that 2011/12 harvest has an even more sugar profile, due to the investments made in sugar production driven by the elevated prices in the global market. The estimate of sugarcane production is of 34.6 million tons, while ethanol estimate is of 25.51 billion liters, with a higher share of anhydrous ethanol in the total amount.
 
Most recent numbers from UNICA indicate a decrease of sugarcane crushing in the beginning of 2011/12 harvest until May 16, 2011, totaling in 56.7 million tons, 39.5% lower than the same period in the previous harvest. The main reasons for this decrease are: (i) the delay in the beginning of the production units, due to the lowest availability of sugarcane, (ii) sugarcane quality inferior to the previous harvest with 8.51kg less of TSR per ton of sugarcane and (iii) anticipation in the previous harvest when some production units operated even during the slump period. The production mix began to prioritize ethanol due to the elevated prices in the domestic market, in which 59.87% of sugarcane was destined to this product and 40.13% destined to sugar. Sugar production reached 2.4 million tons, a decrease of 46.7% in comparison to the previous harvest, while ethanol production reached 2.2 billion liters, 1.3 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 843,0 million of anhydrous ethanol, representing a decrease of 55.1% and an increase of 4.2%, respectively.

Sugar
 
 
In the domestic market, the price of sugar remained elevated, with the bag of sugar of 50kg, based on ESALQ, traded in the quarterly average at R$74.0. Maintenance of high prices of sugar occurred due to the production encouragement of VHP to export, which resulted in a low availability of the product in the internal market once sugar production in the 2010/11 harvest increased by 16.94% or 5 million tons.
 
In Russia, the planted area expansion wasn’t enough to compensate the agricultural income losses related to the dryness due to high temperatures. For this reason, the development potential of beet was restrict and sugar production reached 3 million tons, which represents a decrease of 1 million tons in relation the initial expectations. Because of low availability there was a strong prices increase, which caused the Russian government to anticipate the reduction in import rates.
 
In India, the high availability of sugarcane resulted in a production Record in the region of Maharashtra of 9 million tons, which compensated the production decrease in Uttar Pradesh at the end of the harvest. Generally, the production in India must reach 26.1 million tons, only 400,000 tons lower to the market expectations. The government has authorized an export license of 500 thousand tons of sugar through OGL regimen until June 17.
 
Harvest in Thailand exceeded the expectations of the market reaching approximately 95 million tons of processed sugarcane, which represents a growth of 35% in annual comparison. The decision to prioritize the production of raw sugar instead of white sugar due to high premiums in the commodity market spot impacted the global balance of raw sugar, causing a low price of the product in the international market.
 
As a result, raw sugar price in this 4Q11 was of an average of ¢US$30,54/lb, 5,1% higher than the 3Q11 and 24.6% higher than the 4Q10 average, reaching
 
 ¢US$24,52/lb in the end of December. Refined sugar present an average price of US$751,43/ton for the period in the international market, 14.0% higher than in the 4Q10 and 2.8% higher than in the 3Q11.
 
In the 4Q11, Real currency presented an average quotation of R$1.67/US$, 1,8% lower than the average of the previous quarter and 7.5% lower than the 4Q10. The exchange rate at the end of the period was of R$1.6 3/US$, compared to R$ 1.67/US$ as of December 2010 and R$ 1.78/US$ as of March 2010.

Ethanol
 
 
In the ethanol domestic market, the prices reached elevated level due to a very tight offer and demand balance, mainly due to (i) a shortfall of harvest in Brazil; (ii) a sugar production maximization and (iii) an increase of 6% in the light vehicles fleet. The average price for hydrous ethanol, based in ESALQ, was of R$ 1.237,3/cbm in the 4Q11, 21.9% higher than the previous quarter and 18.8 higher than the 4Q10. The average price of anhydrous ethanol was of R$ 1.361,1/cbm, an increase of 14.7% in comparison to the 3Q11 and of 14.5% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year.
 
In this quarter there have also been important changes in the sector, with ANP (Brazilian National Oil Agency) being the official institution which shall regulate the ethanol market, which shall now be referred to as a fuel and no longer as an agricultural product, due to its strategic importance to Brazil. In addition, changes also have occurred to the mandatory blend of anhydrous ethanol to gasoline, which previously could vary from 2% to 25% and the lowest limit of which was reduced to 18%.
 
The average parity (weighted by fleet) of the price of hydrous ethanol in relation to gasoline in Brazil, calculated according to data provided by the ANP, was of approximately 80% at the end of the 4Q11, and only one Brazilian state, Mato Grosso, which represents 1.8% of the national fleet, with a parity of 70%.
 
Pursuant to ANFAVEA, during the 4Q11, 658.9 thousand flex-fuel vehicles were licensed throughout Brazil, which means 85% of the total new vehicles and a growth of 1.0% in relation to the 4Q10.
 
 
Fuel
 
Pursuant to ANP, the volume of Diesel sold in the first quarter of 2011was 3.9% higher than the same period of the previous year, reaching 11.6 billion liters. In spite of the elevated prices of hydrous ethanol, which caused ethanol to be less competitive than gasoline, its consumption increased by 2.4% in the period, with a volume o f 2.9 billion liters as result of the growth in the Brazilian flex fuel fleet. The volume traded of gasoline A increased by 2.9%, with 6.0 billion liters sold in the quarter, which caused the volume of anhydrous ethanol (25% blended with gasoline A) traded in the quarter to reach 2.1 billion liters.

This year harvest was strongly affected by the drought in the Center South region of the country, decreasing the availability of sugarcane. Despite this adverse weather effect, Cosan presented an increase of 8.0% in sugarcane crushed, totaling 54.3 million tons, mainly due to the beginning of  operation of Jataí and Caarapó greenfields . Own sugarcane represented, in this harvest, 50.4% of overall processed sugarcane, with mechanization index of 79.5%.
 
On the other hand, the dry weather favored the TSR concentration that reached 139.0 kg/tons of sugarcane in this harvest. The 12 month consolidation of Cosan Alimentos and better prices of sugar, mainly in the domestic market, enabled the strategy of prioritizing the white sugar production with more value added, which reached 1.4 million tons, 41.6% higher than the previous year

D. Operating Performance
 
As from this year we are reporting the financial information in accordance with the new accounting rules effective in Brazil (“BR GAAP”), which are aligned with the international accounting principles (“IFRS”). This adoption has the date of April 1, 2009 as transition date (time in which we convert the opening balances in accordance with the old rules for the new accounting rules). Further details on these differences and main impacts from this change to the IFRS may be obtained and are detailed in explanatory note 3 of the financial statements.
 
In addition, as from the fiscal year 2011, the Company adopts the accounting criterion of hedge accounting, in order to provide more transparency to the hedging effects in its results. As well as in the prior Quarterly Letters for this fiscal year, all the effects from this accounting criterion adopted will be detailed in the section “Impacts from Hedge Accounting”.

Cosan net revenue in FY’11 reached R$18.1 billion, compared to R$15.3 billion in FY’10. This increase of 17.8% reflects another year of growth in all the business units, through the increase in production capacity and volume sold and services rendered. In CAA, even with a difficult harvest due to unfavorable weather conditions that affected the sugarcane, productivity we obtained a production increase due to (i) the increase in the use of the installed capacity of 2 greenfields (Jataí and Caarapó), (ii) expansion of the sugar plants (iii) and beginning of operation of other co-generation projects, coupled with better prices of sugar and ethanol, increasing CAA revenue at 18.0%, to R$6.4 billion. The net revenue of CCL presented increase of 16.3%, totaling R$11.8 billion, particularly due to the increase of 22.7% in the revenue of Diesel, 29.7% in the lubricants and 13.3% of gasoline. In Rumo, the transportation operation primarily based on the partnership agreement with  ALL – America Latina Logística S.A. was the main responsible for the increase of 186.8% in its net revenue, which totaled R$448.1 million, of which R$305.9 million arising from the transportation service and R$142.2 million from loading

Sugar Sales - CAA
 
The sugar sales totaled in this fiscal year R$3.9 billion, an increase of 14.1% in relation to the prior year. The main factors contributing for the increase of R$ 475.6 million were:
 
Þ  
Increase of R$128 million arising from the higher volume sold, 3.8% higher than the prior year. The sales in the domestic market increased 17.4%, with 1,238.2 thousand tons reflecting the effect of 12 months of sales against 10 months in the year prior to the purchase of Cosan Alimentos and the greater concentration of TSR in the sugarcane (139.0 kg / ton of sugarcane compared to 129.8 kg / ton of sugarcane in 2009/10 crop). However, the lower than expected harvest affected the sugar production and the exports of this  product decreased 1% in comparison to the previous year amounting to 3,052.6 thousand tons;
 
Þ  
Increase of R$335 million due to prices 10% higher, with the prices in the domestic market 11.2% higher and the prices in the foreign market presenting an increase of only 7.5% when compared to the same prior year period, due to the effect of the hedge accounting, which had a negative impact of R$160.3 million.
 
The effect from the mix of products contributed with R$ 13 million, with a higher mix of sugar sold in the domestic market that reached 29% against 25.5% in the prior fiscal year.

 Ethanol Sales - CAA
 
The revenue from ethanol in FY’11 totaled R$2.2 billion, presenting an increase of 26.1% when compared to the previous year. We highlight, below, the main factors that increased the revenue at R$ 456.1 million:
 
Þ  
Gains of R$81.2 million arising from the increase in the volume of ethanol sold due to the: (i) incorporation of  Cosan Alimentos plants in June 2009 which increased our crushing capacity; (ii) greater concentration of TSR and  (iii) ramp-up of the greenfields Jataí and Caarapó.
 
Þ  
Gains of R$358.3 million, due to the increase of 20.5% in the average price of ethanol in the domestic and international markets;
 
Þ  
Gains of R$16,6 million due to the effect of mix of products with less participation of sales in the foreign market, which presented lower average prices than the domestic market.

Energy cogeneration - CAA
 
The energy revenue totaled R$194.9 million through the sale of R$8.9 million in steem and 1,254.0 thousand MWh of energy at an average price of R$148.3/MWh. The growth of 107.0% in the volume sold results from the beginning of operation of new cogeneration units (totaling 10 this year, compared to 6 in the prior year) and to the ramp-up of the others.

Other Products and Services - CAA
 
The revenue from other products and services of CAA decreased 14.8%, or R$23.9 million in relation to FY’10, mainly due to Cosan’s strategic repositioning with the reduction in sales of products DaBarra Alimentos in the retail market which was alienated in February 2011 (except for the sugar brand).

Rumo
 
The net revenue of Rumo of R$448.1 million in the FY’11 was 186.7% higher than the FY’10, reflex from the beginning of transportation operations in January 2010, which presented revenue of R$305.9 million.
 
Loading revenue was in line with the prior year, totaling R$ 142.2 million in the year, despite the 8.0% volume lower, benefitted from the increase of 10.4% in the loading price.
 
The lower loaded volume in the year arises from the concentration of the volume exported in the peak months, above loading capacity, and the lower than expected harvest, which reduced the sugar available to be exported at the end of the harvest. This effect was partially offset by the increase in prices.
 
As a result of the higher value added to the loaded product, mainly for the increase of the transportation operations, which exceed the initial expectation for the first year of operations, the revenue per loaded ton in this quarter was 3.1 times higher than the FY’10.

Fuels Sales - CCL
 
CCL net revenue amounted to R$11.8 billion in the FY’11, 16.3% higher than the prior year, and the fuels revenue increased 15.5%, reaching R$10.9 billions. The main factors affecting the fuels revenue in this quarter were:
 
Þ  
Increase of 21.6% in the sold volume of Diesel when compared to the FY’10. This increase occurred due to the following factors:
 
o  
Increase of 9.0% in the domestic consumption of Diesel, according to ANP, due to the increase in the demand from industrial clients and transportation due to the recovery of the economic activity in the country.
 
o  
Gains of market-share in the retail market, and mainly in the industrial segment.
 
Þ  
Increase of 11.3% in gasoline C volume sold in relation to  the FY’10, partially compensated by the lower ethanol sold, due to the increase of percentage of flex fuel cars users that opted for this fuel replacing the hydrous ethanol;
 
Þ  
Increase in the average unit prices of ethanol, gasoline and Diesel, and of the greater participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of sales, which present higher prices than ethanol.

Lubricants Sales – CCL
 
The increase of 29.7% in the revenue of lubricants, which totaled R$822.4 million in the quarter, results from the mix with greater participation from premium products, which have higher value added, and the strong increase in the sales volume, which reached 166.4 million of liters due to the increase of approximately 9.0% in the domestic consumption and gains of market share, a result from the marketing effort in the period.

Cost of Products Sold
 
The Cost of products sold (COGS) totaled R$15.1 billion, in comparison to R$13.3 billion in the previous year. In CAA, before IFRS adjustments, we had an increase of 20.4%, or R$828.9 million is mainly reflex from (i) the higher volume of equivalent sugar sold, (ii) increase in the refined sugar activity for sale in the domestic market and (iii) increase in depreciation/amortization. In Rumo, the beginning of transportation activities was the main responsible for the increase of 147.6% of COGS. In CCL, the growth of 16.5% in COGS, which totaled R$11.014,1 million, is a reflex, mainly from the higher volume sold, higher participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of products sold, in addition to the increase in the acquisition cost of ethanol.
 
In addition, the Company COGS had the following adjustments relating to the adoption of IFRS:
 
Þ  
Biological Assets, CPC 29 (IAS 41): the biological assets of the Company are now measured at their fair value, applying the future discounted cash flow method, the impact of which in the variation of fair value for the year ended March 31 , 2011 was R$ 381.9 million (R$44.9 million in 2010).
 
Þ  
Business combination, CPC 15 (IFRS 3): the assets and liabilities of acquired business are evaluated at their fair value at the date of each transaction, increasing, mostly, the basis of the Company fixed assets and, accordingly, the depreciation (therefore no impact in EBITDA). As result, we had higher costs with amortization and depreciation of assets related to the acquisitions of Cosan Alimentos, Teaçu and Esso Brasileira (current CCL), impacting all of the Company’s business units.

* In the cash-cost of sugar and ethanol, the plantation, crop treatment, agricultural depreciation (machinery and equipment),  industrial depreciation and maintenance of inter harvest, are not considered.
 
 
CAA
 
As mentioned in prior quarterly letters, since the beginning of this fiscal year, we presented the unit cost of sugar and ethanol excluding the amortization and depreciation effects (cash-cost), in order to better analyze their behavior throughout the quarters.
 
The depreciation and amortization effects on the unit costs reflected investments made in the sugarcane plantation, maintenance of our industrial facilities, mechanization of harvest
 
 
15 of 30

 
 
in the greenfields projects (Jataí and Caarapó) that started operations at the end of the past harvest, in the cogeneration units and in the improvement of security and sustainability of our operations.
 
The cost of products sold and services rendered of CAA amounted to R$4.4 billion, presenting an increase of 9%, or R$362 million, compared to the previous year. The mains factors that explain this increase, in addition to the adjustments related to the adoption of IFRS mentioned above, are:
 
Þ  
The higher volume of sugar and ethanol sold, which was responsible for the increase of R$161.1 million;
 
Þ  
R$360.0 million from sugar origination, characterized by the purchase of raw materials for refining and finished products for later resale and distribution in the domestic market;
 
Þ  
R$54.2 million of ethanol origination in order to benefit of market opportunities;
 
Þ  
Increase of approximately R$234.9 million due to the increase in TSR price according to Consecana formula, which defines the compensation to suppliers and land leasing, that increased from R$0.3492/kg of TSR to R$0.4022/kg of TSR;
 
Þ  
These effects were partially offset by the increase in the amount of TSR, from 131.1kg/ton of sugarcane to 139.9kg/ton due to more adequate weather conditions improving the cost at R$187.9 million in the FY’11.
 
 
Rumo
 
The COGS of Rumo in the FY’11 of R$316.5 million presented an increase of 147.6% in comparison to the prior year, due to the beginning of  transportation, transfer, storage operations in the interior and contracting of railway freights. On the other hand, loading cost, which already occurred in the previous year, presented a slight reduction due to the lower loaded volume of bulk and bagged sugar, the latest presenting higher costs.
 
 
CCL
 
The COGS of CCL presented an increase of 16.5% compared to the FY’10. Excluding the volume factor, the unit cost of R$1,764/cbm in the FY’11 was 4.9% higher than the prior year. This effect results from the following factors:
 
Þ  
Increase in the cost of ethanol, which impacts not only the hydrous ethanol that will be used in the flex fuel vehicles, but also the anhydrous that is blended into gasoline C (25% mandatory blend);
 
Þ  
Increase of 1.7% in the unit cost of Diesel;
 
Þ  
Mix of sales with more participation of gasoline and Diesel, which present higher unit costs than ethanol.
 
Gross Profit
 
With these results, the FY’11 presented gross profit of R$2,913.4 million, 41.1% higher than the prior year, presenting a margin of 16.1%. CAA contributed with a gross profit of R$1,988.7 million, presenting gross margin (cash) of ethanol of 32.3%, and 45.0% of sugar,
 
 
16 of 30

 
 
also benefited from the higher participation of results from cogeneration.  Rumo, on its turn, contributed with a gross profit of R$131.5 million, presenting consolidated margin of 29.4%. In CCL, the gross margin decreased slightly from 6.8% to 6.6%. However, when we analyse the gross margin in Brazilian Reais per cubic meter, it is noted a small increase to R$125.1/ thousand liters. This was due to:
 
Þ  
Increase in the volume sold of lubricants, that despite the increase in the petroleum price presented a stability of margin due to the Company strategy of increasing the participation of higher value added products;
 
Þ  
Higher participation of gasoline in the mix of products sold, which presents better margins than ethanol and Diesel.
 
Þ  
Both effects above were partially offset by:
 
o  
Worse margins of ethanol in the first  quarters of the year, which were not fully offset by the recovery in the interharvest period;
 
o  
Mix with more participation of Diesel than, in the accumulated for the year, presented margins lower than the prior year, due to the Company strategy of increasing its participation of sales for industrial clients. Despite the lower unit margin, the higher volume sold of this products helps to dilute the fixed expenses for all the others;

Selling Expenses
 
Selling Expenses presented an increase of 18.9%, or R$163,3 million compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly due to the increase in the volume sold by CAA and by CCL, which imply in higher expenditures with freight.

CAA
 
The Selling Expenses of CAA totaled R$568.4 million in comparison to the R$469.8 million for the same prior year period. The increase of 21.0%, or R$98.5 million, reflects some factors:
 
Þ  
Increase of 30% in the volume of sugar bagged for export, which presents a higher cost than sugar in bulk;
 
Þ  
Significant increase in the volume of sugar in the retail of the domestic market;
 
Þ  
Expenses with marketing of União brand;
 
Þ  
Increase in the volume of ethanol in the domestic market in the modality CIF, which implies in increase in the expenditures with freight, more than offset by its higher price.
 
 
Rumo
 
Due to the nature of its business, Rumo does not present Selling Expenses.

 
CCL
 
The Selling Expenses of CCL presented an increase of 14.5% or R$57.9 million, to R$456.1 million, mainly due to the higher volume sold. Accordingly, upon analyzing the Selling Expenses in unit terms, it may be noted that the unit expenses were in line (R$73.0/cbm) in the comparison between the periods, benefitted by the higher dilution of fixed expenditures due to the increase of 13.2% in the volume sold.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
The general and administrative expenses of R$541.0 million represented an increase of 9.0% in relation to R$496.3 million of FY’10. This increase reflects the efforts and investments, many of which are non recurring events, which are being conducted to improve the controls and management, but mainly aiming to increase operating efficiency for when the  investments are concluded, in addition to the expenditures incurred for the Association with Shell. The main factors that impacted the general and administrative expenses are described below.

The general and administrative expenses of R$393.0 million in FY’11 had an increase of 1.7% when compared to the same prior year period. Excluding non recurring expenses related to process of Association with Shell, which amounted to approximately R$30 million, general and administrative expenses of CAA would have presented an improvement of 6.0% in the compared period.
 
 
Rumo
 
The general and administrative expenses of Rumo amounted to R$29.1 million in the FY’11, presenting an increase of 60.8% in comparison to the prior year. Excluding the extraordinary expenses of approximately R$ 6.0 million related to the constitution of provisions and to the process of private placement of the company, the increase of 27.6% in the general and administrative expenses was already expected due to the contracting of:
 
Þ  
New officers to strengthen the management team and composition of the company middle management;
 
Þ  
Advisory for review and renegotiation of the suppliers contracts of Rumo;
 
Þ  
Advisory for beginning and monitoring of the transportation operations
 
 
CCL
 
The general and administrative expenses of CCL amounted to R$118.9 million in the FY’11, an increase of 29.4% when compared to FY’10. Part of this increase is explained by provisions and amortizations in the approximate amount of R$8.0 million which were not carried out in the 1Q’10 and 2Q’10 (as described in the Letter of 1Q’11) and were carried out in the 3Q’10. In addition, it should be emphasized that, due to the investments in the Company improvement, CCL expenses are still being negatively affected by non-recurring expenses of approximately R$16.0 million related to adjustments for the transition for the Shared Services Center (CSC) and expenditures with the transition team for the Joint Venture with Shell.

The EBITDA of CAA totaled R$2,130.3 million in the FY’11, benefitted by the following IFRS adjustments:
 
Þ  
Positive impact of R$381.9 million related to the evaluation at fair value of its Biological assets;
 
Þ  
Positive impact of R$370.9 million in the year (R$292.4 million in the prior year) due to consideration of crop treatment made in the fields (after planting) as being Capex and as a consequence its amortization being considered for purposes of  EBITDA calculation, which improved the cash cost and as a consequence the EBITDA of CAA;
 
Excluding the effects from IFRS mentioned above, and non recurring expenses of R$ 30.0 million related to the JV with Shell (Raízen), the EBITDA of CAA would have totaled R$1,407.5 million this year, 22.6% higher than the adjusted EBITDA of the prior year, also excluding the non recurring gains of R$272.3 million from Refis.
 
 
Rumo
 
Benefited by the beginning of operation of the transportation activities, the EBITDA of Rumo in the FY’11 reached R$146.2 million, with margin of 32.6%, amount 2.0 times higher than the FY’10.
 
 
CCL
 
In thus year, CCL presented an EBITDA of R$394.5 million, with margin of R$63.2/thousand liters, or 3.3% of its net revenue. This EBITDA, as well as FY’10 EBITDA reported in IFRS, had a positive impact of R$ 35.8 million related to the adoption of IFRS, due to reclassification of investments in long term contracts with clients, treated before as prepaid expenses, as intangible assets, which affected both the reported Capex and the amortization considered for EBITDA purposes. In addition, CCL presented other operating revenues of R$31.8 million from the sale of assets. Excluding these IFRS adjustments and non recurring revenues/expenses, CCL EBITDA was R$343.0 million, 6.1% higher than the previous year EBITDA, due to the increase in volume sold, better mix and higher dilution of fixed expenses.

The expenses with debt charges, net of financial investments yields, presented an increase of 5.7%, when compared to the prior year, mainly due to the greater average indebtedness. This increase of net debt, mostly financed by BNDES, was mainly due to new investment projects in Rumo (with acquisition of locomotives, railcars and investment in permanent ways) as well as in the projects of  energy cogeneration. In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, we capitalized financial charges to fixed assets, which benefitted/reduced the financial expenses at R$ 70.5 million in the current year and R$ 43.3 million in the prior year.
 
The net effects of exchange variation was a revenue of R$282.7 million in the year, compared to a net revenue of R$559 million in the prior year. These positive effects from exchange variation occurred due to the impacts on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, mainly from the indebtedness in US dollar, due to the appreciation of local currency (Real), which appreciated 8.6% in this year and 23.1% in the prior year before the American currency. The gross indebtedness denominated in US dollars was R$ 3,622 million and R$ 3,502 million at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.
 
The result from derivatives in the year was positive at R$54.8 million compared to an also positive result of R$354.8 million in the prior year, net of the hedge accounting impacts. It should be pointed out that, in the prior year we did not adopt the hedge accounting and as a consequence the results from derivatives in both years are not comparable, since the gains/losses with derivatives in the current year financial results refer only to the derivative instruments not designed for hedge accounting and the non effective portion of the designed hedge.
 
In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, measured at fair value the financial instruments known as warrants, which Cosan has in its investee RADAR, and the positive result in the year for the appreciation of this instrument was recognized as derivative gain and totaled R$ 13.0 million in the year, compared to R$24,0 million in the prior year.

Hedge Accounting Impacts
 
As from April 1, 2010, the Company adopted the hedge accounting in the modality of cash flow, for certain derivative financial instruments designated to cover the sugar price risk and risk of exchange variation on revenues of sugar export. In the year ended March 31, 2011, we had the deferral (reclassification between financial results  and the “reserve” account, in net assets) of R$393.0 million in net losses with these derivatives, and R$160.3 million was transferred to net operating income for the year. The table below shows the expectation of transfer of the balance of gains/ losses of net assets at 3/31/11 to net operating income in future years in accordance with the coverage period of the designated hedge instruments.

Cosan ended FY’11 with net income of R$771.6 million, compared to a net income of R$1,053.7 million of FY’10.
 
The result for FY’11 was benefited from larger volumes in CAA and CCL, better prices, specially, in sugar and ethanol, and the ramp-up of transportation activities of Rumo and of cogeneration projects, which justified an increase of 30% in the profit before the equity method, of the financial results and taxes on income, which increased from R$ 1,013.5 million in the prior year to R$ 1,312.6 million in the current year. It should also be pointed out that in the prior year we had a positive effect of R$ 270.3 million related to gains with the adhesion to the REFIS program, which did not occur this year.
 
The net financial income of the prior year which was R$ 455.1 million (compared to a net expense of R$ 146.7 million this year), also had an important participation in the result for that year, being significantly impacted by the gains with derivative transactions (of R$ 354.8 million) and gains with the effects from Real appreciation before the US dollar, which was less representative this year.
 
In terms of effective rate of taxes on income, compared to the nominal rate of 34%, this year we had an average rate of 35% compared to 29% in the prior year, considering that some gains in the scope of REFIS recognized that year, were not taxable.

Operations

Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Cosan” or “the Company”) is a Brazilian Company with its shares traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa – CSAN 3). Its registered office is located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Cosan Limited is the controlling shareholder of Cosan, holding a 62.2% interest therein as of March 31, 2011.

Cosan’s primary activities are in the following business segments (i) Sugar & Ethanol: the production of sugar and ethanol, as well as the energy cogeneration produced from sugar cane bagasse, (ii) Fuel Distribution and Lubricants: the marketing and distribution of fuel and lubricants, and the production of lubricants in Brazil, and (iii) Rumo: logistics services including transportation, port lifting and storage of sugar.

On February 1, 2010, the Company announced that it, along with Royal Dutch Shell (“Shell”), had reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to form a joint venture for a combined 50/50 investment. On August 25, 2010 the Company announced the conclusion of the negotiations with Shell and signed a binding MOU along with other arrangements. Cosan will contribute its sugar and ethanol and its distribution assets to the joint venture while Shell will contribute its distribution assets in Brazil and its interests on second generation ethanol research and development entities (Iogen and Codexis). Shell will also make a fixed cash contribution in the amount of approximately $1.6 billion over a two year period. The sugar logistics and lubricants distribution business along with the investment in Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. will not be contributed to the joint venture. On January 4, 2011, the Company received unconditional merger clearance from the European Union to form the proposed Joint Venture in Brazil. On June 1, 2011, the Company signed the closing agreement to form the joint venture, named Raízen. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the joint venture did not impact Cosan’s financial statements except for the incurrance of costs and expenses related to its future formation.

Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1  
Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Cosan have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 are the first Cosan has prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to Note 3 for information on how the Company adopted IFRS.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 31, 2011.
b) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and biological assets that have been measured at fair value.

c) Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais, which is the Company's functional currency. The financial statements of each subsidiary included in the consolidation and equity method investments are prepared based on the functional currency of each company. For subsidiaries and equity method investments with a functional currency other than Brazilian reais, their assets and liabilities were converted into Brazilian reais at the exchange rate as of year end and their revenues and expenses were converted by applying the average monthly rates.

d) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis and changes are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

A significant change in the facts and circumstances on which judgments, estimates and assumptions ​​ are based, may cause a material impact on the results and financial condition of the Company. The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are as follows:

Deferred income taxes and social contribution

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. For further detail on deferred income taxes see Note 18.

Biological Assets

Biological assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and the effects of changes in fair value between the periods are allocated directly to cost of goods sold. For further detail on the assumptions used see Note 13.

Intangible assets and Property, Plant and Equipment (“P,P&E”)

The calculation of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and P,P&E includes the estimation of the useful lives.  Also, the determination of the acquisition date fair value of intangible assets and P,P&E acquired in business combinations is a significant estimate.

The Company annually performs a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets and P,P&E. Also, an impairment test is undertaken for goodwill. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash generating units for which goodwill is allocated are further explained in Note 15.

Share based payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The estimation of fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the assumption of the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 29.

Pension benefits

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment medical benefits and the present value of the pension obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual results in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. A defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Further details about the assumptions used are included in Note 27.


Fair value measurement of contingent consideration

Contingent consideration, resulting from business combinations, is valued at fair value at the acquisition date. Further details about the assumptions used in accounting for business combinations are included in Note 19.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. For further details on financial instruments refer to Note 26.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the Company ceases to have control of the subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

 
2.3  
Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by the subsidiaries and preparing the opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2009, except where indicated otherwise.  The April 1, 2009 balance sheet was prepared to reflect the transition to IFRS.

 
a)  
Revenue recognition

Revenues from the sale of products or goods are recognized when the entity transfers to the buyer the significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the goods and merchandise, and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company. The sales prices are fixed based on purchase orders or contracts.

 
b)  
Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

 
c)  
Financial instruments – Recognition initial and subsequent measurement

(i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets upon initial recognition.
Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not designated at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, marketable securities and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, which can be as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss. They are classified as held for trading if they were acquired with the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives are also measured at fair value through profit or loss, except those designated as hedging instruments. Interest, monetary and exchange variations and changes arising from the valuation at fair value are recognized in the income statement when incurred in the line of revenue or expense.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR), less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs.  Amortization is included in finance income in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the income statement in finance costs.

Held-to-maturity

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. Interest, monetary, exchange rate, less impairment losses, if any, are recognized in income when incurred in the line of financial income/expense.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Financial assets available for sale are those non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) investments held to maturity or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

The Company has no financial assets classified as available for sale.

 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when:

·  
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; and
·  
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the cash flows received without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

 (ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, carried at amortized cost.

The Company’s financial liabilities include payables to suppliers and other payables, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss and derivatives, except those designated as hedging instruments. Interest, monetary and exchange variations and changes arising from the valuation at fair value, where applicable, are recognized in the income statement when incurred.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are amortized or derecognized.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

(iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(iv) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations, without any deduction for transaction costs.

The fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques can include using recent market transactions (interest free) reference to the current fair value of other similar instruments, analysis of discounted cash flows or other valuation models.

An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are provided in Note 26.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
(v) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commodity contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Derivatives designated in hedge transactions are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative is acquired, and subsequently also revalued to fair value. Derivatives are presented as financial assets when the instrument's fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

 
·  
Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment
 
·  
Cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment
 
·  
 Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

Hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows, being continually assessed to determine whether they were actually highly effective over all the base periods for which they were intended.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement in other operating expenses.

Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.

The Company uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in forecasted transactions and firm commitments, as well as forward commodity contracts for its exposure to volatility in the commodity prices. Refer to Note 26 for more details.

Fair value hedge and hedges of a net investment

The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments designated in these types of operations.

d) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments of immediate liquidity, redeemable within 90 days from date of issue, readily convertible into a known amount as cash and cash with insignificant risk of change in their market value.

The restricted cash relates mainly  to deposits of margin requirements made ​​with brokers who trade commodity derivative instruments linked to Cosan's derivatives instruments and financial transactions.

 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
e) Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are receivables from customers and are reduced to their probable realizable value by a provision.

f) Inventories

Inventories are recorded at average cost of acquisition or production, not to exceed the net realizable value. Provisions for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recorded when deemed necessary by management.

g) Equity method investments

Entities over which the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. Based on the equity method, investments are recorded on the balance sheet at cost, plus the changes following the acquisition of shares and the Company’s share of equity income or loss of the associate.
 
The income statement reflects the share of operating results of associates based on the equity method. When a change is recognized directly in equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of the variations, where applicable, statement of changes in equity.
 
The financial statements of associates are prepared for the same period of presentation of the Company even if the fiscal year is not coincidental. Where necessary, adjustments are made to conform to the accounting practices of the Company.
 
After applying the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize additional loss of recoverable value on the Company's investment in its associate. The Company determines, at each year end, if there is objective evidence that investment in associate loss suffered by the impairment. If so, the Company calculates the amount of loss on the impairment as the difference between the recoverable value of the associate and the book value and the amount recognized in the income statement.
 
When there is loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company evaluates and recognizes the investment at fair value at that moment.
 
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and associate are eliminated in accordance with the participation held in the associate.
 
h) Biological assets

IAS 41 - Agriculture encompasses the accounting treatment of activities involving biological assets, which in the case of Cosan, refers to the sugarcane plantations. Biological assets are recognized at fair value at each balance sheet date and the effects of changes in fair values between the periods are allocated to cost of goods sold. The sugarcane plantation is measured at fair value in accordance with the discounted cash flow method. The harvest of Cosan begins generally in April each year and ends in the months of November and December.

Cosan’s own land on which the biological asset is produced is accounted for in accordance with IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment.

i) Property, plant and equipment (“P,P&E”)

Items of P,P&E are measured at historical cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation and impairment when applicable.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. The cost of assets constructed by the entity includes the cost of materials and direct labor, other costs to put the asset in location and condition necessary for them to be able to operate in the manner intended by management, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs relating to funds raised for work in progress are capitalized until these projects are completed.

The Company carries out the planned major maintenance activities at its plants on an annual basis in order to inspect and replace components. This occurs between January and March. The principal costs include maintenance costs for labor, materials, third party services and overhead allocated during the interharvest period.

The estimated cost of a component of a piece of equipment that must be replaced each year is recorded as a component of cost of the equipment and depreciated over the following season. Costs of normal periodic maintenance are recorded as expenses when incurred since the components will not improve the production capacity or introduce improvements to equipment.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line method based on useful life of each asset, following the annual depreciation rates shown below:

j)  Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date.

Finance leases which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the income statement. A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

k) Intangibles

 
(i)  
Goodwill

Under Brazilian GAAP, goodwill arising from business combinations that occurred before March 31, 2009 was amortized on a straight line basis over a period of 5 to 10 years. After March 31, 2009 any remaining balances or new goodwill were no longer amortized and subject to impairment testing.
 
The goodwill considered for IFRS purposes was the ending balance as of March 31, 2009 (under Brazilian GAAP), except for the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A. (“Cosan CL”), for which IFRS 3 was applied.
 
Goodwill is maintained at its cost, less any impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. In order to perform impairment tests goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount of the related cash generating unit to which it was originally allocated.
 
 
(ii)  
Intangible assets with finite lives

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
l) Impairment

In accordance with IAS 36, the Company assesses annually whether there are indications of impairment in its long lived assets. If these indicators are identified, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or a group of assets is the greater of: (a) the fair value less estimated costs to sell it, and (b) its value in use. Value in use is the discounted cash flow (before taxes) from the continued use of the assets until the end of its useful life.

Regardless of the existence of indicators of loss of value, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least once a year.

When the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is recognized as an operating expense in the income statement.

m) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs for all eligible assets where construction was commenced on or after April 1, 2009.

n) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

o) Pension and other employment benefits

 
i)  
 Defined benefit pension plan

The Company, through its subsidiary "Cosan CL" is the sponsor of a defined benefit pension plan for part of its employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses for the defined benefit plan are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income. Such actuarial gains and losses are also immediately recognized in equity and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

ii)  
Defined contribution pension plan

 
The Company, through its subsidiary Cosan Alimentos S.A. ("Cosan Alimentos") sponsors a defined contribution plan, for all employees of that subsidiary. The Company does not have a legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all benefits owed​​.

 
iii)  
Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive compensation in the form of equity investments for services rendered (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The Company uses the binomial model to estimate the fair value of the options at the date of the grant.

p)   Treasury shares

The Company’s equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

q)  Taxes

 
i)  
Income taxes

Income taxes are comprised of income tax and social contribution at a combined rate of 34%.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current assets or liabilities and measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date

 
ii)  
Indirect taxes

Net revenues is recognized net of discounts and sales taxes (IPI, ICMS, PIS e COFINS).

r) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, from December 1, 2008 (transition date of business combinations for IFRS purposes),  and the assets and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value for purposes of goodwill calculation. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost in comparison the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. If there is an excess of the acquirer's interest in the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired over the cost, the difference is recognized immediately in the income statement.
 
s)  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.
 
t)   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.

 
2.4 
New IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations Committee (Financial Reporting Interpretations of IASB) applicable to the consolidated financial statements

New accounting pronouncements from the IASB and IFRIC interpretations have been published and / or reviewed and have the optional adoption in March 31, 2011. The Management assessed the impact of these new pronouncements and interpretations and does not anticipate that its adoption will lead to a significant impact on the annual information of the Company and its subsidiaries in the year of initial application, as follows:

• IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment) It clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government related entities. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard.
 
 
• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Classification and measurement - It reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 uses a simplified approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, based on the manner in which an entity manages its financial instruments (business model) and the typical contractual cash flow of financial assets. The standard also requires the adoption of only one method for determining losses in recoverable value of assets. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance in relation to IFRS 9.

 
• IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 10 as issued establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after  January 1, 2013. Early application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performancefrom the adoption of IFRS 10.

 
• IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - IFRS 11 provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form.  The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities.  IFRS 13 supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributionsby Ventures, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.  Earlier application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 11.

 
• IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities - IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.  IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.  Earlier application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 12.

IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement.  This standard applies only to those situations where an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and anticipated contributions to cover these requirements. The standard allows the entity to account for the benefit of such prepayment as an asset. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning from January 1, 2011. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRIC 14.

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments - IFRIC 19 is    effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. The interpretation    clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial    liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured    at their fair value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments    are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is    recognized immediately in profit or loss. Management is still evaluating the    impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRIC 19.

Improvements to IFRS The IASB standards for improvements and amendments to IFRS in May 2010 and the amendments will be effective from January 1, 2011:

·  
IFRS 3 – Business combination.
·  
IFRS 7 – Financial instrument: Disclosures.
·  
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
·  
IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
·  
IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programme

Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance in relation to the 2010 improvements and amendments.

3.  
First-time adoption of IFRS

As mentioned in Note 2.1(a), these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 are the first Cosan has prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with IFRS applicable for periods ending on March 31, 2011, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended March 31, 2010, as described in the accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s opening statement of financial position was prepared as of April 1, 2009, the Company’s date of transition to IFRS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by Cosan in restating its Brazilian GAAP statement of financial position as at April 1, 2009 and its previously published Brazilian GAAP financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010.

IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain IFRS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

·  
Business combinations: the Company used the exemption of IFRS 1 and has applied IFRS 3 - Business combinations - for acquisitions from December 1, 2008, date of purchase of Cosan CL (formerly known as Esso Brasileira de Petroleo Ltda.) and elected not to remeasure and restate business combinations that occurred before that date.
 
·  
Deemed cost: the Company elected to measure its farming land at fair value at the date of transition to IFRS. The effects of the deemed cost increased fixed assets with a corresponding increase in equity, net of income tax effects (see Note 14). The Company elected not to remeasure the remaining fixed assets. Remaining cost basis dfferences between inflation indexed asset values under IFRS and Brazilian GAAP attributable to Brazil’s hyper-iinflationary designation until 1997 are immaterial as of the IFRS transition date.
 
·  
Defined benefit pension plan: the Company elected to recognize all actuarial gains and losses against the retained earnings as at the date of transition to IFRS. See Note 27 for further details.
 
·  
Borrowing costs: The Company has applied the transitional provisions in IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalizes borrowing costs on assets where construction was commenced on or after the date of transition.
 
·  
Cumulative currency translation differences: cumulative currency translation differences are deemed to be zero as at April 1, 2009.
 
Estimates

The estimates at April 1, 2009 and at March 31, 2010 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Brazilian GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies) apart from the following items where application of Brazilian GAAP did not require estimation:

·  
Biological assets
·  
Contingent consideration
·  
Certain financial instruments

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with IFRS reflect conditions at April 1, 2009, the date of transition to IFRS and as of March 31, 2010.

The transition from Brazilian GAAP to IFRS did not result in a material impact on the statement of cash flows.

The significant adjustments as a consequence of the adoption of IFRS are described as follows:

a)  
Biological assets

According to the IAS 41, biological assets of the Company are measured at fair value at each reporting period, using the discounted cash flow method.

In accordance with accounting practices prior to the adoption of IFRS, the biological assets were recorded at their historical cost less amortization and were classified and presented in the statement of financial position as inventories or fixed assets  The costs classified in inventories related to maintenance costs of the crop to be harvested within 12 months, and the costs recognized in fixed assets related to the costs of the initial crop of sugarcane plants, which are amortized over five years, the estimated useful life.

The negative adjustment of biological assets to fair value as of the IFRS transition date was not considered an indicator of impairment of the previous carrying value of the previously classified inventory or fixed assets under Brazilian GAAP.   Rather, such previous asset values were deemed recoverable as of April 1, 2009 based on the estimated future cash flows of all crops to be grown on the land as they are used to produce sugar and ethanol, as compared to the current fair value of biological assets which is based on the current status on crops in process.

b)  
Business combinations

Under IFRS 3, all assets and liabilities of businesses acquired after the transition date, including any intangible assets are valued at their fair value at the date of transaction. In addition, purchases of businesses with payment in shares or other securities issued by the purchaser must also be measured at fair value for purposes of determining the purchase price, which consequently affects the value of goodwill calculated. Cosan considered the transition date for application of IFRS 3 to be December 1, 2008, the date of acquisition of Cosan CL.

The buyer must recognize contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the consideration for obtaining control of the acquiree.

If the Company's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the acquisition cost, such excess is recorded as an immediate gain in income.

According to Brazilian GAAP, goodwill in a business combination was calculated based on the amount paid in cash.  Amounts paid with shares considered the equity value of the shares given and not their market value and determination of the amounts did not consider the existence of any intangible assets to be recorded.  Total consideration was then compared with the book value of the acquired company. If a discount was identified, it would be recorded in noncurrent liabilities.

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, goodwill on a business combination was calculated as the difference between the purchase price and the historical net assets of the business acquired. The purchase price, if not cash, and the net assets did not reflect any fair value considerations. Any negative goodwill would be presented as a liability.

c)  
Non-controlling interests

Under IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the participation of non-controlling interets is presented as a component of equity.

According to Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, non-controlling interests were presented between non-current liabilities and equity on the statement of financial position.

Also, some first time adoption adjustments impacted non-controlling interests.

d)  
Deemed cost

The Company elected to measure its farming land at fair value at the date of transition to IFRS. The adjustment was recorded against equity net of deferred taxes.

e)  
Borrowing costs

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, the Company did not capitalize borrowing costs. The Company has applied the transitional provisions in IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalizes borrowing costs on assets where construction was commenced on or after the date of transition

f)  
Investment property in associate

Radar Propriedades Agricolas S.A. (“Radar”) is an equity method investment of the Company that invests in farming land for rent and future appreciation. Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, such land was recorded at cost. With the adoption of IFRS, Radar treated such land as investment property and elected to measure it at fair value. Fair value is measured at each reporting date, impacting the equity income of Cosan in regard to Radar.

g)  
Warrants on equity method investment

The Company holds warrants on Radar, exercisable at any time up to maturity (August 2018). Such warrants permit Cosan to purchase additional shares, equivalent to 20% of total shares as of the date of exercise. The exercise of warrants will not change the classification of this investment as an equity investment. Those warrants were not considered to be a financial instrument under Brazilian GAAP up to March 31, 2010 as they cannot be net settled. Radar is a privately owned entity. Under IFRS the warrants are treated as a separate financial instrument measured at fair value.

h)  
Pension plan - defined benefit

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, the Company recorded its defined benefit plan under the corridor approach with respect to actuarial gains and losses. With the adoption of IAS 19, the Company elected to recognize actuarial gain and losses in the period the occur as a component of other comprehensive income.

i)

i) Judicial deposits

Under IFRS, judicial deposits related to provisions for legal proceedings are presented on a gross basis in non-current assets as they do not satisfy the requirements for compensation with the related liability under IAS 1. Previously, under Brazilian GAAP up to March 31, 2010, provisions for legal proceedings were presented net of related judicial deposits.

ii) Deferred income taxes

As required by IAS 12, all deferred income taxes have been reclassified to non-current assets or liabilities. Also, the balance of deferred income taxes was impacted by the adjustments previously mentioned.

Sugarcane plants

Areas cultivated represent only sugarcane, without considering the land where these crops are found. The following assumptions were used to determine fair value using the discounted cash flow:

   
2011
   
2010
 
Crop area (hectares)
    340,386       297,864  
Expect productivity (tons of cane per hectare)
    84.74       90.36  
Total amount of recoverable sugar – ATR (kg)
    138.54       134.08  
Price kg ATR projected average (R$/kg)
    0.4228       0.3781  

Sugar production depends on the volume and sucrose content of sugarcane grown or supplied by farmers located near the plants. The yield of the crop and the sucrose content in sugarcane mainly depend on weather conditions such as rainfall rate and temperature, which may vary. Historically, weather conditions have caused volatility in ethanol and sugar production, and consequently in our operating results because it cause demage to the annual harvest. Future climate conditions may reduce the amount of sugar and sugarcane that the Company will obtain in a particular season or in the sucrose content of sugarcane. Additionally, our business is subject to seasonality according to the growth cycle of sugarcane in the south-central region of Brazil. The period of annual harvest of sugarcane in the south-central region of Brazil begins in April / May and ends in November / December. This creates variations in stock, usually high in November to cover sales between harvests (i.e. from December to April) and a degree of seasonality in gross profit as sales of ethanol and sugar are significantly lower in the last quarter of fiscal year. The seasonality and any reduction in the volume of sugar recovered could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Impairment testing of goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the operating segments of the Company, at which goodwill is monitored for purposes of internal administration. Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to three cash-generating units, which are also the Company´s operating segments, as presented below:

·  
Sugar and ethanol cash-generating unit (“S&E”);
·  
Distribution of fuels and lubricants cash-generating unit (“CCL”);
·  
Logistic cash-generating unit (“Rumo”).

The combined value of goodwill allocated to each unit is as follows:

Carrying amount of goodwill
 
2011
   
2010
   
April 1, 2009
 
S&E cash-generating unit
    1,433,982       1,374,437       1,003,378  
CCL cash-generating unit
    755,524       747,895       766,798  
Rumo cash-generating unit
    63,814       56,919       -  
Total goodwill
    2,253,320       2,179,251       1,770,176  

As defined in the accounting policy described in note 2.3 (k), the Company tests annually the recoverable amount of goodwill.

The Company uses the value in use method to determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit. The value in use calculation is based on the projection of the expected cash flows of the cash-generating units. The key assumptions used to determine the value in use include (i) sales prices of commodities, (ii) operating costs, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) discount rates.

Management determines its cash flows based on its annual budgets taking into account for each cash generating unit (i) S&E: the expected long-term sales price of commodities, productivity of agricultural areas, the performance of total recoverable sugar (“ATR”), and related costs, (ii) CCL : the expected growth in operations based on gross domestic product and other macroeconomic aspects, (iii) Rumo: expectations of the Brazilian sugar production destined designated mainly for export.

these cash flows are discounted at rates that reflect specific risks relating to assets relevant to each cash generating unit.

Management has not identified any impairments for its cash generating units. The determination of the recoverable amount depends on certain key assumptions as described above which are influenced by market conditions, technological and economic forces present at the time that the impairment test is undertaken and thus management cannot determine if impairment losses will occur in the future.

Tax recovery program – Law 11.941/09 e Provisional Measure 470/09 (“Refis IV”)

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. Such discounts generated a gain of R$270,333, recorded in the income statement.

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.

In assessing the 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, 2011, 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. Income tax losses carry forwards and social contribution tax losses may be offset against a maximum of 30% of annual taxable income, with no statutory limitation period.

 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
(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 – Tax recovery program. 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 17)

(ii) In 1993 subsidiary Cosan CL filed a suit to challenge the balance sheet restatement index (IPC) established by the federal government in 1989, considering that such index did not reflect the actual inflation back then. The use of this index led the Company to supposedly overstate and overpay the income and social contribution taxes. Cosan CL obtained a favorable preliminary court ruling that allowed it to recalculate the financial position, using indexes that accurately measured the inflation over the period. In doing so the company adjusted the amounts of income and social contribution taxes payable and identified that overpayments for both taxes were offset in subsequent years until 1997. 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 which led the Company to record a provision in relation to those court rulings.

(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.

(iv) The provision for ICMS credits is comprised of: (a) tax assessment received, in which, despite the defense filed at the administrative and judicial levels, the legal counsel of the Company understand it is more likely than not that a loss will occur, (b) recovery of credits and financial charges on issues in which Company´s management has a differing view from the tax authorities.

b)  
Civil and labor claims

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of civil claims related to (i) indemnity for physical and moral damages; (ii) public civil claims related to sugarcane stubble burning; and (iii) environmental matters.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of labor claims filed by former employees and service providers challenging, among other factors, the payment of additional hours, night shift premium and risk premium, employment inclusion, reimbursement of discounts from payroll, such as social contribution, trade union charges, among others.

Judicial demands deemed as possible loss

a) Tax claims

The main tax claims for which the unfavorable outcome is deemed possible and, therefore, no provision for legal claims was recorded, are as follows:

Withholding income taxes (i)
    194,498       182,824       161,440

      1,571,132       1,211,573       764,684  

(i)  Tax assessment – withholding income tax

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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)


(ii)  ICMS – State VAT

Refers mainly to (i) Tax Assessment filed in view of the alleged lack of payment of ICMS and non-compliance with accessory obligation, in connection with the partnership and manufacturing upon demand, with Central Paulista Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., between May to December 2006 and May to December 2007; and (ii) ICMS levied on the remittances of crystallized sugar for export purposes. In accordance with the tax agent, such product is classified as semi-finished product and that, in accordance with the ICMS regulation, would be subject to taxation, (iii) ICMS levied on possible differences in terms of sugar and alcohol inventories, arising from magnetic tax files and Inventory Registry Books and (iv) ICMS concerning rate difference due to ethanol sales to companies located in other states, which, subsequently, had their registrations revoked and (v) disallowance of credit resulting from the acquisition of diesel used in the production process.

(iii)  IPI – Federal VAT

SRF Normative Instruction n° 67/98 approved the procedure adopted by the industrial establishments which performed remittances without registries and payment of the IPI rate, in regard to transfers of sugarcane carried out between July 6, 1995 and November 16, 1997 and refined sugar between January 14, 1992 and November 16, 1997. Such rule was considered in proceedings filed by the Federal Revenue Secretariat against the Company, the unfavorable outcome of which is deemed as possible, in accordance with the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors.

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

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

(v)  Social Security Contribution

Refers mainly to tax assessment received and defended by the legal counsel, concerning social security contribution on: (i) stock option plan and (ii) export sales and (iii) resale of materials for companies under common control and suppliers.

(vi)  PIS and COFINS

Refers mainly to the reversal of PIS and COFINS credits, provided by Laws 10.637/2002 and 10.833/2003, respectively. Those reversals arise from a differing interpretation of the laws by the Internal Revenue Service in regard to raw materials. Such discussions are still at the administrative level

b)  Civil and labor

The main civil and labor claims for which the unfavorable outcome is deemed possible are as follows:

   
2011

April 1, 2009
 
Civil
    377,608       235,010       145,936

Financial risk management

a)  
Overview

The Company is exposed to the following risk related to the use of financial instruments:

·  
price risk
·  
foreign exchange rates
·  
interest rates
·  
credit risk
·  
liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Company exposure for which risk above, the object of the Company’s risk management policies, the polices and processes for measurement, risk management and capital management

b)  
Risk management structure

The Company has two committees related to risk management: (i) Risk management committee, formed by three Board Director´s members, one of them independent member, that meet, at least once by year, to discuss and determine the Company´s hedge policies; (ii) Executive risk committee, formed by management of the Company, that meets on a weekly basis to analyze the foreign exchange and commodities market trends.  The committee also reviews cover positions and the strategy of pricing exports of sugar in order to reduce the adverse effects of changes in sugar prices and the foreign exchange rate as well as monitoring the liquidity risks and counterparty (credit).

The Company is exposed to market risks, mainly related to the volatility of sugar prices and foreign exchange rates. Management analyzes these risks and uses financial instruments to hedge a portion of the risk exposure.

On March 31, 2011, 2010 and April 1, 2009, fair values related to transactions involving derivative financial instruments with the purpose of hedge or other purposes were measured at market value (fair value) by observables factors such as quoted prices in active markets or discounted cash flows based on market curves and are presented below:

c)  
Price risk

This arises from the potential for fluctuations in the market prices of products sold by the Company, mainly raw material sugar - VHP (sugar #11) and white sugar (LIFFE sugar #5). These fluctuations in prices can cause substantial changes in the revenues of the Company.  To mitigate these risks, the Company constantly monitors the markets, seeking to anticipate changes in prices. The positions of the consolidated derivative financial instruments to hedge the price risk of commodities are shown in the table below:

 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
The fair value of these derivatives was measured by observable factors, such as quoted prices in active markets and, in some cases, by means of models whose assumptions are observable in the market.

 
d)  
Foreign Exchange risk

This arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies used by the Company for the export revenues of products, imports, debt cash flow and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.  The Company uses derivative transactions to manage the risks of cash flow coming from the export revenues denominated in U.S. dollars, net of other cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The table below demonstrates the consolidated positions outstanding on March 31, 2011 of derivatives used to hedge exchange rates:

Effects of hedge accounting

In the beginning of the year ended at March 31, 2011, the Company formally designated its transactions subject to hedge accounting for cash flow hedges from sugar VHP (raw material) export revenue, documenting: (i) the relationship of the hedge, (ii) the Company’s purpose for taking the hedge and its risk management strategy, (iii) identification of the financial instrument, (iv) the transaction or item covered, (v) the nature of the risk being hedged, (vi) a description of the hedging relationship (vii) the demonstration of correlation between the hedge and the object of coverage, and (viii) the prospective analysis of hedge effectiveness. The Company has designated derivative financial instruments of Sugar # 11 (NYBOT or OTC) to cover the risk of price and Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF) to cover exchange rate risk, as demonstrated in topics (b) and (c) of this Note.

The Company records gains and losses deemed effective for purposes of hedge accounting to a specific account in equity (“other comprehensive income”), until the object of coverage (hedged item) affects the profit and loss. On March 31, 2011, the amounts recorded in other comprehensive income related to hedge accounting are as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded the amount of R$15,568 on its results of operations due to hedged items that would no longer qualify to be designated under hedge accounting. Also, the Company recorded the amount of R$18,679 related to the gains and losses of the hedges’ ineffectiveness during the year ended March31, 2011.

f)
Interest rate risk

The Company monitors fluctuations of the interest rates related to certain loan contracts, mainly those with Libor interest rate risk, and in the event of increased volatility of such rates, it may engage in transactions with derivatives so as to minimize such risks. At March 31, 2011, the Company has not presented interest rate risk derivatives outstanding (US$ 300,000, as March 31, 2010, which fair value was R$624).

 
g)
Credit risk

A significant portion of sales made by the Company is to a select group of best-in-class counterparts (i.e. trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains).

Credit risk is managed through specific rules of client acceptance including credit ratings and 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 covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company buys and sells commodity derivatives in futures and options markets on the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) and the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), as well as in the over-the-counter (OTC) market with selected counterparties. The Company buys and sells foreign exchange derivatives on BM&FBovespa and OTC contracts registered with CETIP (OTC clearing house) with banks Goldman Sachs & Co, Banco Santander S.A., Espirito Santo Investment do Brasil S.A., Deutsche Bank S.A. – Banco Alemão, Banco Bradesco S.A., Banco JP Morgan S.A., Banco Standard de Investimentos S.A., e Banco BTG Pactual S.A..

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 (In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
Guarantee margins – The Company’s derivative operations on commodity exchanges (NYBOT, LIFFE and BM&FBovespa) require an initial guarantee margin. The brokers with which the Company operates on these commodity exchanges offer credit limits for these margins. As of March 31, 2011, the total credit limit used as initial margin was R$136,420 (R$68,646 as of March 31, 2010). As a requirement to trade in BM&FBovespa, the Company posted on March 31, 2011, the amount of R$50,000 (R$83,042 as of March 31, 2010) as guarantee in the form of a settlement bond issued by a first-class banking institution. Over-the-counter derivative transactions of the Company are exempt from margin guarantees.

 
h)
Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or other financial assets. The approach of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure, as much as possible, which always has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations to win, under normal and stress, without causing unacceptable losses or risk damaging the reputation of the Company.

 
i)
Fair value
 
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included in the price at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between parties willing to negotiate, and not in a forced sale or liquidation. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their respective carrying values ​​due largely to short-term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of marketable securities and bonds is based on price quotations on the date of the financial statements. The fair value of non-negotiable instruments, bank loans and other debts, obligations under finance leases, as well as other non-current financial liabilities are estimated by the discounted future cash flows using rates currently available for debt or deadlines and similar instruments.

The fair market value of Senior Notes due 2014 and 2017, described in note 16, at its market price is 116.25% 108.75% and, respectively, of its face value at 31 March 2011.

The fair market value of Perpetual bonds, described in note 16, at its market price is 100,6%, respectively, of its face value at 31 March 2011.

The fair value of financial assets available for sale is obtained through quoted market prices in active markets, if any.

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily financial institutions with credit ratings of investment grade. The derivatives valued using valuation techniques with observable market data relate mainly to interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts and term contracts for commodities futures. The valuation techniques applied more often include pricing models for fixed-term contracts and swaps, with a present value calculations. The models incorporate various data, including credit quality of counterparties, the rates of currency spot and forward, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the commodity underlying.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company has the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the technical evaluation:
 
·  
Level 1: quoted prices in a active market to identical assets and liabilities
·  
Level 2: other techniques for which all data that have significant effect on the fair value recorded are observable, directly or indirectly
·  
Level 3: techniques that use data that have significant effect on the fair value recorded that are not based on observable market data.

Sensitivity analysis
 
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 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  financial instruments. The probable scenario was defined based on the futures sugar and US dollar market curves as of March 31, 2011, the same which determines the fair value of the derivatives at that date. Possible and remote scenarios were defined based on adverse impacts of 25% and 50% over the sugar and dollar price curves, which served as basis for the probable scenario.

Shared-based payments

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.

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, due to changing in the management at that date.

According to the market value at the date of issuance, the exercise price is R$ 6.11 per share, without any discount. The exercise price was calculated before the valuation mentioned above based on an expected private equity agreement was not achieved. The options can be exercised after a waiting period of one year, considering a maximum percentage of 25% per annum of the total stock options offered by the Company within a period of 5 years.

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

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

On March 31, 2011 all stock options related to that plan were exercised by issuance of new shares.

The number and weighted average exercise price of stock options are the following:

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.

Expected Dividends – As the Company was 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 the SELIC - Special System Settlement Custody.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
March 31, 2011


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, 2011 and 2010, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil which are almost equal to international accounting practices (IFRS). The Company also makes available a detailed version of the Financial Statements and its release on results on site www.cosan.com.br/ri.

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
 
This year was marked by the consolidation of the company's strategy in confirming to be a lead and innovative company on the market with well-defined focus on growth and value creation from synergies with its integrated business units. The joint venture with Shell, achieved during this fiscal year, was a transformational deal for the business as this enabled forces to be joined and position itself as the integrated sole player with ability to consolidate and grow in the Brazilian sugar-ethanol market, and create the conditions for ethanol to become a global commodity.

During this year, the new company resulting from the joint venture with Shell was named; the sugar and ethanol production company’s name is Raízen Energia S.A. and the fuel distribution company shall be Raízen Combustíveis S.A..

Despite the great efforts dedicated by the company to the success of this joint venture, the company still managed to grow and expand its capacity and focus on taking advantage of the best opportunities available on the market to acquire sugar and ethanol mills. In addition, the company was able to carry on the investment plan for its other business units, particularly the Rumo Logística which this year has invested approximately R$ 0.5 billion in the acquisition of new locomotives, wagons and on the railway, by partnering with ALL (America Latina Logística S.A.) to generate efficiency and capacity of the railroad and flow of sugar to the port of Santos.

The energy cogeneration project continued its deployment throughout this fiscal year so that the next year’s crop can start with new units already equipped to start selling energy under contracts executed. These new units will contribute with significant cash flow generation and help growth and consolidation in the ethanol and sugar production industry.

Also during fiscal year 2011, we managed to acquire a sugar and ethanol mill located in the Araraquara region, where other Group’s mills are located, which allows for the creation of synergies, in addition to the 2.6 million tons added to our sugarcane ability.

Regarding the ​​fuel distribution, the Raízen Combustíveis will have a major challenge in integrating and consolidating the Shell's business and CCL’s operations (formerly Esso Brasileira de Petróleo.) The new company will have a network of 4,500 service stations, 550 convenience stores, presence in 52 airports, 53 terminals, and distribution of over 20 billion gallons of fuel. The expected creation of value, after integration of the two companies’ operations is R$ 3.4 billion in present value of synergies to be captured over the next year.

The lubricants business will continue to be controlled by Cosan, therefore, was not included in the assets contributed to Raízen. During fiscal year 2011, we had significant achievements in terms of growth strategy with creation of value, raking third in market share in this segment. Moreover, anchored on a marketing campaign we managed to launch new products with a focus on serving our customers who demand a differentiated product to lubricate their machines, vehicles, and equipment.

Our land company, Radar S.A. still plays a very important strategic role in the acquisition of agriculturally viable land, occupying areas with potential for appreciation both for growing sugarcane and to new agricultural frontiers in Brazil. Throughout this year, all capital invested in the company by its shareholders was fully invested in the purchase of approximately 85 000 hectares of land.

Finally, Cosan Alimentos, our business that distributors sugar to the Brazilian market, with approximately 40% market share, with brands Union and Da Barra, will continue to be controlled by Cosan. The next year, it will be important for the development of this business strategy, which seeks to create value based on the high-value brand Union and the current logistics structure to meet approximately 90,000 outlets currently existing.

For this upcoming fiscal year, the company is determined and motivated to strengthen the foundations of its structure, which will enable to capture important synergies with the integration and consolidation of its businesses. The company sees the challenge of overcoming the barriers of integrating different cultures as an opportunity to growth and a competitive advantage because it can count on a wide variety of employees of highly efficient and technically seasoned. May this new fiscal year be part of the company’s history as the beginning of a new cycle of growth with sustainability and security so that the company can consolidate itself as a world’s reference for clean and renewable energy.

Market and Sector Overview
 
Crushing in Center-South (CS) region of Brazil reached 556.8 million tons of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest, an amount 2.75% higher than the previous harvest according to data provided by UNICA. Sugarcane production increased by 16.9%, reaching 33.5 million tons, while ethanol production reached 25.4 billion liters, 7.1% higher than the previous harvest, 18.0 billion liters of which of hydrous ethanol and 7.4 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol. The lower sugarcane availability when compared to the initial projections made by UNICA, resulted from an extremely dry weather which, in spite of maximizing the amount of sugar equivalent in the sugarcane (ATR), has reduced its productivity rate by planted area. ATR per ton of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest totaled 141.20 kg, while during the 2009/10 harvest the ATR totaled 130,23 kg/ton. With the elevated prices in the international market, the production mix for sugar increased from 42.6% in the previous harvest to 44.71% in this harvest.
 
Crushing estimate for 2011/12 harvest is of 568.5 million of sugarcane, which represents an increase of 2.1% when compared to the previous harvest. This low increase for the second year in a row is a result of scarcity of raw materials, mainly impacted by the aging of the reeds due to the lack of investments in the sector, combined with an unfavorable

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
weather condition in the previous harvest, as mentioned above. It is expected that 2011/12 harvest has an even more sugar profile, due to the investments made in sugar production driven by the elevated prices in the global market. The estimate of sugarcane production is of 34.6 million tons, while ethanol estimate is of 25.51 billion liters, with a higher share of anhydrous ethanol in the total amount.
 
Most recent numbers from UNICA indicate a decrease of sugarcane crushing in the beginning of 2011/12 harvest until May 16, 2011, totaling in 56.7 million tons, 39.5% lower than the same period in the previous harvest. The main reasons for this decrease are: (i) the delay in the beginning of the production units, due to the lowest availability of sugarcane, (ii) sugarcane quality inferior to the previous harvest with 8.51kg less of ATR per ton of sugarcane and (iii) anticipation in the previous harvest when some production units operated even during the slump period. The production mix began to prioritize ethanol due to the elevated prices in the domestic market, in which 59.87% of sugarcane was destined to this product and 40.13% destined to sugar. Sugar production reached 2.4 million tons, a decrease of 46.7% in comparison to the previous harvest, while ethanol production reached 2.2 billion liters, 1.3 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 843,0 million of anhydrous ethanol, representing a decrease of 55.1% and an increase of 4.2%, respectively.
 
Sugar
 
 
In the domestic market, the price of sugar remained elevated, with the bag of sugar of 50kg, based on ESALQ, traded in the quarterly average at R$74.0. Maintenance of high prices of sugar occurred due to the production encouragement of VHP to export, which resulted in a low availability of the product in the internal market once sugar production in the 2010/11 harvest increased by 16.94% or 5 million tons.
 
In Russia, the planted area expansion wasn’t enough to compensate the agricultural income losses related to the dryness due to high temperatures. For this reason, the development potential of beet was restrict and sugar production reached 3 million tons, which represents a decrease of 1 million tons in relation the initial expectations. Because of low availability there was a strong prices increase, which caused the Russian government to anticipate the reduction in import rates.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
 
In India, the high availability of sugarcane resulted in a production Record in the region of Maharashtra of 9 million tons, which compensated the production decrease in Uttar Pradesh at the end of the harvest. Generally, the production in India must reach 26.1 million tons, only 400,000 tons lower to the market expectations. The government has authorized an export license of 500 thousand tons of sugar through OGL regimen until June 17.
 
Harvest in Thailand exceeded the expectations of the market reaching approximately 95 million tons of processed sugarcane, which represents a growth of 35% in annual comparison. The decision to prioritize the production of raw sugar instead of white sugar due to high premiums in the commodity market spot impacted the global balance of raw sugar, causing a low price of the product in the international market.
 
As a result, raw sugar price in this 4Q11 was of an average of ¢US$30,54/lb, 5,1% higher than the 3Q11 and 24.6% higher than the 4Q10 average, reaching
 
 ¢US$24,52/lb in the end of December. Refined sugar present an average price of US$751,43/ton for the period in the international market, 14.0% higher than in the 4Q10 and 2.8% higher than in the 3Q11.
 
In the 4Q11, Real currency presented an average quotation of R$1.67/US$, 1,8% lower than the average of the previous quarter and 7.5% lower than the 4Q10. The exchange rate at the end of the period was of R$1.6 3/US$, compared to R$ 1.67/US$ as of December 2010 and R$ 1.78/US$ as of March 2010.
 
Ethanol
 
 
In the ethanol domestic market, the prices reached elevated level due to a very tight offer and demand balance, mainly due to (i) a shortfall of harvest in Brazil; (ii) a sugar production maximization and (iii) an increase of 6% in the light vehicles fleet. The average price for hydrous ethanol, based in ESALQ, was of R$ 1.237,3/m3 in the 4Q11, 21.9% higher than the previous quarter and 18.8 higher than the 4Q10. The average price of anhydrous ethanol was of R$ 1.361,1/m3, an increase of 14.7% in comparison to the 3Q11 and of 14.5% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
 
In this quarter there have also been important changes in the sector, with ANP (Brazilian National Oil Agency) being the official institution which shall regulate the ethanol market, which shall now be referred to as a fuel and no longer as an agricultural product, due to its strategic importance to Brazil. In addition, changes also have occurred to the mandatory blend of anhydrous ethanol to gasoline, which previously could vary from 2% to 25% and the lowest limit of which was reduced to 18%.
 
The average parity (weighted by fleet) of the price of hydrous ethanol in relation to gasoline in Brazil, calculated according to data provided by the ANP, was of approximately 80% at the end of the 4Q11, and only one Brazilian state, Mato Grosso, which represents 1.8% of the national fleet, with a parity of 70%.
 
Pursuant to ANFAVEA, during the 4Q11, 658.9 thousand flex-fuel vehicles were licensed throughout Brazil, which means 85% of the total new vehicles and a growth of 1.0% in relation to the 4Q10.
 
Fuel
 
Pursuant to ANP, the volume of Diesel sold in the first quarter of 2011was 3.9% higher than the same period of the previous year, reaching 11.6 billion liters. In spite of the elevated prices of hydrous ethanol, which caused ethanol to be less competitive than gasoline, its consumption increased by 2.4% in the period, with a volume o f 2.9 billion liters as result of the growth in the Brazilian flex fuel fleet. The volume traded of gasoline A increased by 2.9%, with 6.0 billion liters sold in the quarter, which caused the volume of anhydrous ethanol (25% blended with gasoline A) traded in the quarter to reach 2.1 billion liters.
 
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
 
As from this year we are reporting the financial information in accordance with the new accounting rules effective in Brazil (“BR GAAP”), which are aligned with the international accounting principles (“IFRS”). This adoption has the date of April 1, 2009 as transition date (time in which we convert the opening balances in accordance with the old rules for the new accounting rules). Further details on these differences and main impacts from this change to the IFRS may be obtained and are detailed in explanatory note 3 of the financial statements.
 
In addition, as from the fiscal year 2011, the Company adopts the accounting criterion of hedge accounting, in order to provide more transparency to the hedging effects in its results. As well as in the prior Quarterly Letters for this fiscal year, all the effects from this accounting criterion adopted will be detailed in the section “Impacts from Hedge Accounting”.

Cosan net revenue in FY’11 reached R$18.1 billion, compared to R$15.3 billion in FY’10. This increase of 17.8% reflects another year of growth in all the business units, through the increase in production capacity and volume sold and services rendered. In CAA, even with a difficult harvest due to unfavorable weather conditions that affected the sugarcane, productivity we obtained a production increase due to (i) the increase in the use of the installed capacity of 2 greenfields (Jataí and Caarapó), (ii) expansion of the sugar plants (iii) and beginning of operation of other co-generation projects, coupled with better prices of sugar and ethanol, increasing CAA revenue at 18.0%, to R$6.4 billion. The net revenue of CCL presented increase of 16.3%, totaling R$11.8 billion, particularly due to the increase of 22.7% in the revenue of Diesel, 29.7% in the lubricants and 13.3% of gasoline. In Rumo, the transportation operation primarily based on the partnership agreement with  ALL – America Latina Logística S.A. was the main responsible for the increase of 186.8% in its net revenue, which totaled R$448.1 million, of which R$305.9 million arising from the transportation service and R$142.2 million from loading

Sugar Sales - CAA
 
The sugar sales totaled in this fiscal year R$3.9 billion, an increase of 14.1% in relation to the prior year. The main factors contributing for the increase of R$ 475.6 million were:
 
Þ  
Increase of R$128 million arising from the higher volume sold, 3.8% higher than the prior year. The sales in the domestic market increased 17.4%, with 1,238.2 thousand tons reflecting the effect of 12 months of sales against 10 months in the year prior to the purchase of Cosan Alimentos and the greater concentration of TSR in the sugarcane (139.0 kg / ton of sugarcane compared to 129.8 kg / ton of sugarcane in 2009/10 crop). However, the lower than expected harvest affected the sugar production and the exports of this  product decreased 1% in comparison to the previous year amounting to 3,052.6 thousand tons;
 
Þ  
Increase of R$335 million due to prices 10% higher, with the prices in the domestic market 11.2% higher and the prices in the foreign market presenting an increase of only 7.5% when compared to the same prior year period, due to the effect of the hedge accounting, which had a negative impact of R$160.3 million.
 
The effect from the mix of products contributed with R$ 13 million, with a higher mix of sugar sold in the domestic market that reached 29% against 25.5% in the prior fiscal year.

The revenue from ethanol in FY’11 totaled R$2.2 billion, presenting an increase of 26.1% when compared to the previous year. We highlight, below, the main factors that increased the revenue at R$ 456.1 million:
 
Þ  
Gains of R$81.2 million arising from the increase in the volume of ethanol sold due to the: (i) incorporation of  Cosan Alimentos plants in June 2009 which increased our crushing capacity; (ii) greater concentration of TSR and  (iii) ramp-up of the greenfields Jataí and Caarapó.
 
Þ  
Gains of R$358.3 million, due to the increase of 20.5% in the average price of ethanol in the domestic and international markets;
 
Þ  
Gains of R$16,6 million due to the effect of mix of products with less participation of sales in the foreign market, which presented lower average prices than the domestic market.

Rumo
 
The net revenue of Rumo of R$448.1 million in the FY’11 was 186.7% higher than the FY’10, reflex from the beginning of transportation operations in January 2010, which presented revenue of R$305.9 million.
 
Loading revenue was in line with the prior year, totaling R$ 142.2 million in the year, despite the 8.0% volume lower, benefitted from the increase of 10.4% in the loading price.
 
The lower loaded volume in the year arises from the concentration of the volume exported in the peak months, above loading capacity, and the lower than expected harvest, which reduced the sugar available to be exported at the end of the harvest. This effect was partially offset by the increase in prices.
 
As a result of the higher value added to the loaded product, mainly for the increase of the transportation operations, which exceed the initial expectation for the first year of operations, the revenue per loaded ton in this quarter was 3.1 times higher than the FY’10.

CCL net revenue amounted to R$11.8 billion in the FY’11, 16.3% higher than the prior year, and the fuels revenue increased 15.5%, reaching R$10.9 billions. The main factors affecting the fuels revenue in this quarter were:
 
Þ  
Increase of 21.6% in the sold volume of Diesel when compared to the FY’10. This increase occurred due to the following factors:
 
o  
Increase of 9.0% in the domestic consumption of Diesel, according to ANP, due to the increase in the demand from industrial clients and transportation due to the recovery of the economic activity in the country.
 
o  
Gains of market-share in the retail market, and mainly in the industrial segment.

Increase of 11.3% in gasoline C volume sold in relation to  the FY’10, partially compensated by the lower ethanol sold, due to the increase of percentage of flex fuel cars users that opted for this fuel replacing the hydrous ethanol;
 
Þ  
Increase in the average unit prices of ethanol, gasoline and Diesel, and of the greater participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of sales, which present higher prices than ethanol.

Cost of Products Sold

 
The Cost of products sold (COGS) totaled R$15.1 billion, in comparison to R$13.3 billion in the previous year. In CAA, before IFRS adjustments, we had an increase of 20.4%, or R$828.9 million is mainly reflex from (i) the higher volume of equivalent sugar sold, (ii) increase in the refined sugar activity for sale in the domestic market and (iii) increase in depreciation/amortization. In Rumo, the beginning of transportation activities was the main responsible for the increase of 147.6% of COGS. In CCL, the growth of 16.5% in COGS, which totaled R$11.014,1 million, is a reflex, mainly from the higher volume sold, higher participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of products sold, in addition to the increase in the acquisition cost of ethanol.
 
In addition, the Company COGS had the following adjustments relating to the adoption of IFRS:
 
Þ  
Biological Assets, CPC 29 (IAS 41): the biological assets of the Company are now measured at their fair value, applying the future discounted cash flow method, the impact of which in the variation of fair value for the year ended March 31 , 2011 was R$ 381.9 million (R$44.9 million in 2010).
 
Þ  
Business combination, CPC 15 (IFRS 3): the assets and liabilities of acquired business are evaluated at their fair value at the date of each transaction, increasing, mostly, the basis of the Company fixed assets and, accordingly, the depreciation (therefore no impact in EBITDA). As result, we had higher costs with amortization and depreciation of assets related to the acquisitions of Cosan Alimentos, Teaçu and Esso Brasileira (current CCL), impacting all of the Company’s business units.

* In the cash-cost of sugar and ethanol, the plantation, crop treatment, agricultural depreciation (machinery and equipment),  industrial depreciation and maintenance of inter harvest, are not considered.
 
CAA
 
As mentioned in prior quarterly letters, since the beginning of this fiscal year, we presented the unit cost of sugar and ethanol excluding the amortization and depreciation effects (cash-cost), in order to better analyze their behavior throughout the quarters.
 
The depreciation and amortization effects on the unit costs reflected investments made in the sugarcane plantation, maintenance of our industrial facilities, mechanization of harvest in the
 
 
95

 
 
COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
 
greenfields projects (Jataí and Caarapó) that started operations at the end of the past harvest, in the cogeneration units and in the improvement of security and sustainability of our operations.
 
The cost of products sold and services rendered of CAA amounted to R$4.4 billion, presenting an increase of 9%, or R$362 million, compared to the previous year. The mains factors that explain this increase, in addition to the adjustments related to the adoption of IFRS mentioned above, are:
 
Þ  
The higher volume of sugar and ethanol sold, which was responsible for the increase of R$161.1 million;
 
Þ  
R$360.0 million from sugar origination, characterized by the purchase of raw materials for refining and finished products for later resale and distribution in the domestic market;
 
Þ  
R$54.2 million of ethanol origination in order to benefit of market opportunities;
 
Þ  
Increase of approximately R$234.9 million due to the increase in TSR price according to Consecana formula, which defines the compensation to suppliers and land leasing, that increased from R$0.3492/kg of TSR to R$0.4022/kg of TSR;
 
Þ  
These effects were partially offset by the increase in the amount of TSR, from 131.1kg/ton of sugarcane to 139.9kg/ton due to more adequate weather conditions improving the cost at R$187.9 million in the FY’11.
 

Rumo
 
The COGS of Rumo in the FY’11 of R$316.5 million presented an increase of 147.6% in comparison to the prior year, due to the beginning of  transportation, transfer, storage operations in the interior and contracting of railway freights. On the other hand, loading cost, which already occurred in the previous year, presented a slight reduction due to the lower loaded volume of bulk and bagged sugar, the latest presenting higher costs.
 
CCL
 
The COGS of CCL presented an increase of 16.5% compared to the FY’10. Excluding the volume factor, the unit cost of R$1,764/cbm in the FY’11 was 4.9% higher than the prior year. This effect results from the following factors:
 
Þ  
Increase in the cost of ethanol, which impacts not only the hydrous ethanol that will be used in the flex fuel vehicles, but also the anhydrous that is blended into gasoline C (25% mandatory blend);
 
Þ  
Increase of 1.7% in the unit cost of Diesel;
 
Þ  
Mix of sales with more participation of gasoline and Diesel, which present higher unit costs than ethanol.
 
Gross Profit

 
With these results, the FY’11 presented gross profit of R$2,913.4 million, 41.1% higher than the prior year, presenting a margin of 16.1%. CAA contributed with a gross profit of R$1,988.7 million, presenting gross margin (cash) of ethanol of 32.3%, and 45.0% of sugar, also beniffted from the higher participation of results from cogeneration.  Rumo, on its turn, contributed with a gross profit of R$131.5 million, presenting consolidated margin of 29.4%. In CCL, the gross margin decreased slightly from 6.8% to 6.6%. However, when we analyse the gross margin in Brazilian Reais per cubic meter, it is noted a small increase to R$125.1/ thousand liters. This was due to:
 
 
96

 
 
COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
 
Þ  
Increase in the volume sold of lubricants, that despite the increase in the petroleum price presented a stability of margin due to the Company strategy of increasing the participation of higher value added products;
 
Þ  
Higher participation of gasoline in the mix of products sold, which presents better margins than ethanol and Diesel.
 
Þ  
Both effects above were partially offset by:
 
o  
Worse margins of ethanol in the first  quarters of the year, which were not fully offset by the recovery in the interharvest period;
 
o  
Mix with more participation of Diesel than, in the accumulated for the year, presented margins lower than the prior year, due to the Company strategy of increasing its participation of sales for industrial clients. Despite the lower unit margin, the higher volume sold of this products helps to dilute the fixed expenses for all the others;

CAA
 
The Selling Expenses of CAA totaled R$568.4 million in comparison to the R$469.8 million for the same prior year period. The increase of 21.0%, or R$98.5 million, reflects some factors:
 
Þ  
Increase of 30% in the volume of sugar bagged for export, which presents a higher cost than sugar in bulk;
 
Þ  
Significant increase in the volume of sugar in the retail of the domestic market;
 
Þ  
Expenses with marketing of União brand;
 
Þ  
Increase in the volume of ethanol in the domestic market in the modality CIF, which implies in increase in the expenditures with freight, more than offset by its higher price.
 
Rumo
 
Due to the nature of its business, Rumo does not present Selling Expenses.
 
CCL
 
The Selling Expenses of CCL presented an increase of 14.5% or R$57.9 million, to R$456.1 million, mainly due to the higher volume sold. Accordingly, upon analyzing the Selling Expenses in unit terms, it may be noted that the unit expenses were in line (R$73.0/cbm) in the comparison between the periods, benefitted by the higher dilution of fixed expenditures due to the increase of 13.2% in the volume sold.

General and Administrative Expenses

 
The general and administrative expenses of R$541.0 million represented an increase of 9.0% in relation to R$496.3 million of FY’10. This increase reflects the efforts and investments, many of which are non recurring events, which are being conducted to improve the controls and management, but mainly aiming to increase operating efficiency for when the  investments are concluded, in addition to the expenditures incurred for the Association with Shell. The main factors that impacted the general and administrative expenses are described below.

The general and administrative expenses of R$393.0 million in FY’11 had an increase of 1.7% when compared to the same prior year period. Excluding non recurring expenses related to process of Association with Shell, which amounted to approximately R$30 million, general and administrative expenses of CAA would have presented an improvement of 6.0% in the compared period.
 
Rumo
 
The general and administrative expenses of Rumo amounted to R$29.1 million in the FY’11, presenting an increase of 60.8% in comparison to the prior year. Excluding the extraordinary expenses of approximately R$ 6.0 million related to the constitution of provisions and to the process of private placement of the company, the increase of 27.6% in the general and administrative expenses was already expected due to the contracting of:
 
Þ  
New officers to strengthen the management team and composition of the company middle management;
 
Þ  
Advisory for review and renegotiation of the suppliers contracts of Rumo;
 
Þ  
Advisory for beginning and monitoring of the transportation operations
 
CCL
 
The general and administrative expenses of CCL amounted to R$118.9 million in the FY’11, an increase of 29.4% when compared to FY’10. Part of this increase is explained by provisions and amortizations in the approximate amount of R$8.0 million which were not carried out in the 1Q’10 and 2Q’10 (as described in the Letter of 1Q’11) and were carried out in the 3Q’10. In addition, it should be emphasized that, due to the investments in the Company improvement, CCL expenses are still being negatively affected by non-recurring expenses of approximately R$16.0 million related to adjustments for the transition for the Shared Services Center (CSC) and expenditures with the transition team for the Joint Venture with Shell.
 
EBITDA

 
With these results, Cosan reached an EBITDA of R$2,671.0 million in the FY’11, 22.4% higher than the EBITDA of FY’10, both already adjusted by IFRS effects. Of this amount, CAA contributed with R$2,130.3 million, CCL with R$394.5 million and Rumo with R$146.2 million.

The EBITDA of CAA totaled R$2,130.3 million in the FY’11, benefitted by the following IFRS adjustments:
 
Þ  
Positive impact of R$381.9 million related to the evaluation at fair value of its Biological assets;
 
Þ  
Positive impact of R$370.9 million in the year (R$292.4 million in the prior year) due to consideration of crop treatment made in the fields (after planting) as being Capex and as a consequence its amortization being considered for purposes of  EBITDA calculation, which improved the cash cost and as a consequence the EBITDA of CAA;
 
Excluding the effects from IFRS mentioned above, and non recurring expenses of R$ 30.0 million related to the JV with Shell (Raízen), the EBITDA of CAA would have totaled R$1,407.5 million this year, 22.6% higher than the adjusted EBITDA of the prior year, also excluding the non recurring gains of R$272.3 million from Refis.
 
Rumo
 
Benefited by the beginning of operation of the transportation activities, the EBITDA of Rumo in the FY’11 reached R$146.2 million, with margin of 32.6%, amount 2.0 times higher than the FY’10.
 
CCL
 
In thus year, CCL presented an EBITDA of R$394.5 million, with margin of R$63.2/thousand liters, or 3.3% of its net revenue. This EBITDA, as well as FY’10 EBITDA reported in IFRS, had a positive impact of R$ 35.8 million related to the adoption of IFRS, due to reclassification of investments in long term contracts with clients, treated before as prepaid expenses, as intangible assets, which affected both the reported Capex and the amortization considered for EBITDA purposes. In addition, CCL presented other operating revenues of R$31.8 million from the sale of assets. Excluding these IFRS adjustments and non recurring revenues/expenses, CCL EBITDA was R$343.0 million, 6.1% higher than the previous year EBITDA, due to the increase in volume sold, better mix and higher dilution of fixed expenses.
 
Financial Results

 
The financial results in the year was a net expense of R$146.7 million compared to a net revenue of R$455.2 million in the prior year.

The expenses with debt charges, net of financial investments yields, presented an increase of 5.7%, when compared to the prior year, mainly due to the greater average indebtedness. This increase of net debt, mostly financed by BNDES, was mainly due to new investment projects in Rumo (with acquisition of locomotives, railcars and investment in permanent ways) as well as in the projects of  energy cogeneration. In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, we capitalized financial charges to fixed assets, which benefitted/reduced the financial expenses at R$ 70.5 million in the current year and R$ 43.3 million in the prior year.
 
The net effects of exchange variation was a revenue of R$282.7 million in the year, compared to a net revenue of R$559 million in the prior year. These positive effects from exchange variation occurred due to the impacts on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, mainly from the indebtedness in US dollar, due to the appreciation of local currency (Real), which appreciated 8.6% in this year and 23.1% in the prior year before the American currency. The gross indebtedness denominated in US dollars was R$ 3,622 million and R$ 3,502 million at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.
 
The result from derivatives in the year was positive at R$54.8 million compared to an also positive result of R$354.8 million in the prior year, net of the hedge accounting impacts. It should be pointed out that, in the prior year we did not adopt the hedge accounting and as a consequence the results from derivatives in both years are not comparable, since the gains/losses with derivatives in the current year financial results refer only to the derivative instruments not designed for hedge accounting and the non effective portion of the designed hedge.
 
In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, measured at fair value the financial instruments known as warrants, which Cosan has in its investee RADAR, and the positive result in the year for the appreciation of this instrument was recognized as derivative gain and totaled R$ 13.0 million in the year, compared to R$24,0 million in the prior year.

 Hedge Accounting Impacts

 
As from April 1, 2010, the Company adopted the hedge accounting in the modality of cash flow, for certain derivative financial instruments designated to cover the sugar price risk and risk of exchange variation on revenues of sugar export. In the year ended March 31, 2011, we had the deferral (reclassification between financial results  and the “reserve” account, in net assets) of R$393.0 million in net losses with these derivatives, and R$160.3 million was transferred to net operating income for the year. The table below shows the expectation of transfer of the balance of gains/ losses of net assets at 3/31/11 to net operating income in future years in accordance with the coverage period of the designated hedge instruments.

Cosan ended FY’11 with net income of R$771.6 million, compared to a net income of R$1,053.7 million of FY’10.
 
The result for FY’11 was benefited from larger volumes in CAA and CCL, better prices, specially, in sugar and ethanol, and the ramp-up of transportation activities of Rumo and of cogeneration projects, which justified an increase of 30% in the profit before the equity method, of the financial results and taxes on income, which increased from R$ 1,013.5 million in the prior year to R$ 1,312.6 million in the current year. It should also be pointed out that in the prior year we had a positive effect of R$ 270.3 million related to gains with the adhesion to the REFIS program, which did not occur this year.
 
The net financial income of the prior year which was R$ 455.1 million (compared to a net expense of R$ 146.7 million this year), also had an important participation in the result for that year, being significantly impacted by the gains with derivative transactions (of R$ 354.8 million) and gains with the effects from Real appreciation before the US dollar, which was less representative this year.
 
In terms of effective rate of taxes on income, compared to the nominal rate of 34%, this year we had an average rate of 35% compared to 29% in the prior year, considering that some gains in the scope of REFIS recognized that year, were not taxable.

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
 
 
106

 
 
COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
 
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.

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
 
 
107

 
 
COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 
with verification of important sustainability criteria. The transaction, shipment of which had Sweden as its destination, resulted from 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 was 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.

After such innovative contract, Cosan already settled several other partnerships based on sustainability Standards. In addition, Raízen, the joint venture between Cosan and Shell, committed to certify all its mills according to the Bonsucro standard by 2017.

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.

Total
    68,880  
 
 
c.  Purchase of Control of Cosan Araraquara Açúcar e Álcool Ltda. (“Usina Zanin”)

On February 18, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Usina Zanin, for R$90,000 cash.

PERSPECTIVES

The new fiscal year promises great challenges for all Cosan’s business units but mainly for the new company resulting from partnership with Shell, Raízen. Once the negotiations with Shell have concluded and regulatory approval has been given (still pending approval from CADE), the new company, which began operating on June 1, 2011, has clear integration, consolidation and growth goals with great potential for creating value and capturing synergies.

The sugar, ethanol, and energy cogeneration segment of Raízen has laid down the foundation for the next five-year growth, which anticipates an increase in crushing capacity of its mills from 65 to 100 million tons of sugarcane. For the next year, investments in the growth strategy are expected to begin based on expansion of capacity at existing mills and increase in sugarcane growing area. Energy cogeneration will continue to implement investments proposed so as to follow the commissioning schedule of its mills and supply of energy under agreements previously established.

COSAN S.A. INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO
 

The purpose of Raízen Combustíveis is to integrate the operations of both companies (Shell and Esso) by consolidating synergies and follow the plan for growth on the fuel distribution market.

Rumo Logística, despite the difficult year for its port operations, and hardships faced by the Brazilian sugarcane crops, met the investment plan for the first year of operation. For the next fiscal year, Rumo has ahead of a decisive year in implementing its business plan, which anticipates large investments in ALL - America Latina Logística’s concession railway as well as its port terminals in order to create efficiency and increase its lifting and shipping capacity.

For all of the above, this will be very important year for the company that will prove to be a leading and innovative company strategically well positioned, to take advantage of the best growth opportunities, and create value to all stakeholders.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.   An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Operations

Cosan Limited (“Cosan” and “the Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda on April 30, 2007. Its shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE – CZZ) and in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa – CZLT11).  Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company. Cosan Limited controls Cosan S.A. Indústria e Comércio and its subsidiaries (“Cosan S.A.”) with a 62.2% interest.

Cosan S.A.’s primary activities are in the following business segments (i) Sugar & Ethanol: the production of sugar and ethanol, as well as the energy cogeneration produced from sugar cane bagasse, (ii) Fuel Distribution and Lubricants: the marketing and distribution of fuel and lubricants, and the production of lubricants in Brazil, and (iii) Rumo: logistics services including transportation, port lifting and storage of sugar.

On February 1, 2010, the Company announced that it, along with Royal Dutch Shell (“Shell”), had reached a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to form a joint venture for a combined 50/50 investment. On August 25, 2010 the Company announced the conclusion of the negotiations with Shell and signed a binding MOU along with other arrangements. Cosan will contribute its sugar and ethanol and its distribution assets to the joint venture while Shell will contribute its distribution assets in Brazil and its interests on second generation ethanol research and development entities (Iogen and Codexis). Shell will also make a fixed cash contribution in the amount of approximately $1.6 billion over a two year period. The sugar logistics and lubricants distribution business along with the investment in Radar Propriedades Agrícolas S.A. will not be contributed to the joint venture. On January 4, 2011, the Company received unconditional merger clearance from the European Union to form the proposed Joint Venture in Brazil. On June 1, 2011, the Company signed the closing agreement to form the joint venture, named Raízen. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the joint venture did not impact Cosan´s financial statements except for the incurrance of costs and expenses related to its future formation.

Summary of significant accounting policies

 
2.1
Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 are the first Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to Note 3 for information on how the Company adopted IFRS.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee on June 6, 2011.
 
b) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and biological assets that have been measured at fair value.

c) Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais. However, the functional 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.

The financial statements of each subsidiary included in the consolidation and equity method investments are prepared based on the functional currency of each company. Cosan, certain subsidiaries and equity method investments with a functional currency other than Brazilian reais, had their assets and liabilities converted into Brazilian reais at the exchange rate as of year end and their revenues and expenses were converted by applying the average monthly rates.

The exchange rate of the Brazilian real (R$) to the U.S. dollar (US$) was R$1.6287=US$1.00 at March 31, 2011, R$1.7810=US$1.00 at March 31, 2010, and R$2.3152=US$1.00 at March 31, 2009.

d) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis and changes are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

A significant change in the facts and circumstances on which judgments, estimates and assumptions are based, may cause a material impact on the results and financial condition of the Company. The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are as follows:

Deferred income taxes and social contribution

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. For further detail on deferred income taxes see Note 18.

Biological assets

Biological assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and the effects of changes in fair value between the periods are allocated directly to cost of goods sold. For further detail on the assumptions used see Note 13.

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (“P, P&E”)

The calculation of depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and P, P&E includes the estimation of the useful lives. Also, the determination of the acquisition date fair value of intangible assets and P,P&E acquired in business combinations is a significant estimate.

The Company annually performs a review of impairment indicators for intangible assets and P,P&E. Also, an impairment test is undertaken for goodwill. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash generating units for which goodwill is allocated are further explained in Note 15.

Share based payments

Cosan S.A. measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The estimation of fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the assumption of the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 29.

Pension benefits

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post employment medical benefits and the present value of the pension obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual results in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. A defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. Further details about the assumptions used are included in Note 27.

Fair value measurement of contingent consideration

Contingent consideration, resulting from business combinations, is valued at fair value at the acquisition date. Further details about the assumptions used in accounting for business combinations are included in Note 19.

Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. For further details on financial instruments refer to Note 26.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the Company ceases to have control of the subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

 
2.3
Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements and have been applied consistently by the subsidiaries and preparing the opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2009, except where indicated otherwise.  The April 1, 2009 balance sheet was prepared to reflect the transition to IFRS.

a)     Revenue recognition

Revenues from the sale of products or goods are recognized when the entity transfers to the buyer the significant risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the goods and merchandise, and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company. The sales prices are fixed based on purchase orders or contracts.

b)     Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

c)     Financial instruments – Recognition initial and subsequent measurement

(i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets upon initial recognition.
 
 
16

 
 
COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not designated at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets.

Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, marketable securities and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, which can be as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss. They are classified as held for trading if they were acquired with the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives are also measured at fair value through profit or loss, except those designated as hedging instruments. Interest, monetary and exchange variations and changes arising from the valuation at fair value are recognized in the income statement when incurred in the line of revenue or expense.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR), less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs.  Amortization is included in finance income in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the income statement in finance costs.

Held-to-maturity

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. Interest, monetary, exchange rate, less impairment losses, if any, are recognized in income when incurred in the line of financial income/expense.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
Available-for-sale financial assets

Financial assets available for sale are those non-derivative financial assets that are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) investments held to maturity or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when:

 
·
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; and
 
·
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the cash flows received without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, carried at amortized cost.

The Company’s financial liabilities include payables to suppliers and other payables, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss and derivatives, except those designated as hedging instruments. Interest, monetary and exchange variations and changes arising from the valuation at fair value, where applicable, are recognized in the income statement when incurred.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are amortized or derecognized.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 

(iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(iv) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations, without any deduction for transaction costs.

The fair value of financial instruments for which there is no active market is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques can include using recent market transactions (interest free) reference to the current fair value of other similar instruments, analysis of discounted cash flows or other valuation models.
 
An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are provided in Note 26.

Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
(v) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commodity contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Derivatives designated in hedge transactions are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative is acquired, and subsequently also revalued to fair value. Derivatives are presented as financial assets when the instrument's fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

 
·
Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment;
 
·
Cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment; and
 
·
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, Cosan S.A. formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which Cosan S.A. wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

Hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows, being continually assessed to determine whether they were actually highly effective over all the base periods for which they were intended.

 
21

 
 
COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement in other operating expenses.

Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.

Cosan S.A. uses forward currency contracts as hedges of its exposure to foreign currency risk in forecasted transactions and firm commitments, as well as forward commodity contracts for its exposure to volatility in the commodity prices. Refer to Note 26 for more details.

(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
Fair value hedge and hedges of a net investment

The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments designated in these types of operations.

d) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments of immediate liquidity, redeemable within 90 days from date of issue, readily convertible into a known amount as cash and cash with insignificant risk of change in their market value.

The restricted cash relates mainly to deposits of margin requirements made with brokers who trade commodity derivative instruments linked to Cosan's derivatives instruments and financial transactions.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are receivables from customers and are reduced to their probable realizable value by a provision.

f) Inventories

Inventories are recorded at average cost of acquisition or production, not to exceed the net realizable value. Provisions for slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recorded when deemed necessary by management.

g) Equity method investments

Entities over which the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. Based on the equity method, investments are recorded on the balance sheet at cost, plus the changes following the acquisition of shares and the Company’s share of equity income or loss of the associate.
 
The income statement reflects the share of operating results of associates associate based on the equity method. When a change is recognized directly in equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of the variations, where applicable, statement of changes in equity.
 
The financial statements of associates are prepared for the same period of presentation of the Company even if the fiscal year is not coincidental. Where necessary, adjustments are made to conform to the accounting practices of the Company.
 
After applying the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize additional loss of recoverable value on the Company's investment in its associate. The Company determines, at each year end, if there is objective evidence that investment in associate loss suffered by the impairment. If so, the Company calculates the amount of loss on the impairment as the difference between the recoverable value of the associate and the book value and the amount recognized in the income statement.
 
When there is loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company evaluates and recognizes the investment at fair value at that moment.
 
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and associates are eliminated in accordance with the participation held in the associate.

h) Biological assets

IAS 41 - Agriculture encompasses the accounting treatment of activities involving biological assets, which in the case of Cosan S.A., refers to the sugarcane plantations. Biological assets are recognized at fair value at each balance sheet date and the effects of changes in fair values between the periods are allocated to cost of goods sold. The sugarcane plantation is measured at fair value in accordance with the discounted cash flow method. The harvest of Cosan S.A. begins generally in April each year and ends in the months of November and December.

Cosan S.A.’s own land on which the biological asset is produced is accounted for in accordance with IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment.

i) Property, plant and equipment (“P, P&E”)

Items of P, P&E are measured at historical cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation and impairment when applicable.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. The cost of assets constructed by the entity includes the cost of materials and direct labor, other costs to put the asset in location and condition necessary for them to be able to operate in the manner intended by management, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs relating to funds raised for work in progress are capitalized until these projects are completed.

The Company carries out the planned major maintenance activities at its plants on an annual basis in order to inspect and replace components. This occurs between January and March. The principal costs include maintenance costs for labor, materials, third party services and overhead allocated during the inter harvest period.

The estimated cost of a component of a piece of equipment that must be replaced each year is recorded as a component of cost of the equipment and depreciated over the following season. Costs of normal periodic maintenance are recorded as expenses when incurred since the components will not improve the production capacity or introduce improvements to equipment.

j) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date.

Finance leases which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the income statement. A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

k) Intangibles

(i) Goodwill

Under Brazilian GAAP, goodwill arising from business combinations that occurred before March 31, 2009 was amortized on a straight line basis over a period of 5 to 10 years. After March 31, 2009 any remaining balances or new goodwill were no longer amortized and subject to impairment testing.

The goodwill considered for IFRS purposes was the ending balance as of March 31, 2009 (under Brazilian GAAP), except for the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Cosan CL, for which IFRS 3 was applied.
 
 
26

 
 
COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Goodwill is maintained at its cost, less any impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. In order to perform impairment tests goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount of the related cash generating unit to which it was originally allocated.

(ii) Intangible assets with finite lives

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful economic lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
 
l) Impairment

In accordance with IAS 36, the Company assesses annually whether there are indications of impairment in its long lived assets. If these indicators are identified, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or a group of assets is the greater of: (a) the fair value less estimated costs to sell it, and (b) its value in use. Value in use is the discounted cash flow (before taxes) from the continued use of the assets until the end of its useful life.

Regardless of the existence of indicators of loss of value, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least once a year.

When the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is recognized as an operating expense in the income statement.

m) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs for all eligible assets where construction was commenced on or after April 1, 2009.

n) Provisions

o) Pension and other employment benefits

i)     Defined benefit pension plan

The Company, through its indirect subsidiary Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A. ("Cosan CL") is the sponsor of a defined benefit pension plan for part of its employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses for the defined benefit plan are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income. Such actuarial gains and losses are also immediately recognized in equity and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

ii)     Defined contribution pension plan

The Company, through its indirect subsidiary Cosan Alimentos S.A. ("Cosan Alimentos") sponsors a defined contribution plan, for all employees of that subsidiary. The Company does not have a legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all benefits owed.

iii)     Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of Cosan S.A. receive regular compensation in the form of equity investments for services rendered (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. Cosan S.A. uses the binomial model to estimate the fair value of the options at the date of the grant.

p)     Treasury shares

The Company´s equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

q)     Taxes

i)     Income taxes

Income taxes are comprised of income tax and social contribution at a combined rate of 34%.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and unused tax losses can be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current assets or liabilities and measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date.

ii)     Indirect taxes

Net revenues is recognized net of discounts and sales taxes (IPI, ICMS, PIS e COFINS).

r)     Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, from December 1, 2008 (transition date of business combinations for IFRS purposes), and the assets and liabilities assumed are measured at fair value for purposes of goodwill calculation. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost in comparison the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities. If there is an excess of the acquirer's interest in the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired over the cost, the difference is recognized immediately in the income statement.

s)     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.

t)     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.

New IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations Committee (Financial Reporting Interpretations of IASB) applicable to the consolidated financial statements

New accounting pronouncements from the IASB and IFRIC interpretations have been published and / or reviewed and have the optional adoption in March 31, 2011. The Management assessed the impact of these new pronouncements and interpretations and does not anticipate that its adoption will lead to a significant impact on the annual information of the Company and its subsidiaries in the year of initial application, as follows:

 
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Amendment) It clarified the definition of a related party to simplify the identification of such relationships and to eliminate inconsistencies in its application. The revised standard introduces a partial exemption of disclosure requirements for government related entities. The amended standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance. Early adoption is permitted for either the partial exemption for government-related entities or for the entire standard.
 
 
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Classification and measurement - It reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 uses a simplified approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, based on the manner in which an entity manages its financial instruments (business model) and the typical contractual cash flow of financial assets. The standard also requires the adoption of only one method for determining losses in recoverable value of assets. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance in relation to IFRS 9.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 10 as issued establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Early application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 10.

 
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - IFRS 11 provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The standard addresses inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. IFRS 13 supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributionsby Ventures, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.  Earlier application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 11.

 
IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities - IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.  IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.  Earlier application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 11.

 
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - IFRS 13 establishes new requirements on how to measure fair value and the related disclosures for IFRS and US generally accepted accounting principles. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRS 13.

 
IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement.  This standard applies only to those situations where an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and anticipated contributions to cover these requirements. The standard allows the entity to account for the benefit of such prepayment as an asset. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning from January 1, 2011. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRIC 14.

IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments - IFRIC 19 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010. The interpretation clarifies that equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a financial liability qualify as consideration paid. The equity instruments issued are measured at their fair value. In case that this cannot be reliably measured, the instruments are measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any gain or loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Management is still evaluating the impact on its financial position or performance from the adoption of IFRIC 19.

Improvements to IFRS The IASB standards for improvements and amendments to IFRS in May 2010 and the amendments will be effective from January 1, 2011:

·     IFRS 3 – Business combination.
·     IFRS 7 – Financial instrument: Disclosures.
·     IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
·     IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
·     IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programme

First-time adoption of IFRS

As mentioned in Note 2.1(a), these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 are the first Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with IFRS applicable for periods ending on March 31, 2011, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended March 31, 2010, as described in the accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s opening statement of financial position was prepared as of April 1, 2009, the Company’s date of transition to IFRS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by Company in restating its Brazilian GAAP statement of financial position as at April 1, 2009 and its previously published Brazilian GAAP financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010.

IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain IFRS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

 
·
Business combinations: the Company used the exemption of IFRS 1 and has applied IFRS 3 - Business combinations - for acquisitions from December 1, 2008, date of purchase of Cosan CL (formerly known as Esso Brasileira de Petroleo Ltda.) and elected not to remeasure and restate business combinations that occurred before that date.
 
 
·
Deemed cost: the Company elected to measure its farming land at fair value at the date of transition to IFRS. The effects of the deemed cost increased fixed assets with a corresponding increase in equity, net of income tax effects (see Note 14). The Company elected not to remeasure the remaining fixed assets. Remaining cost basis differences between inflation indexed asset values under IFRS and Brazilian GAAP attributable to Brazil’s hyper-inflationary designation until 1997 are immaterial as of the IFRS transition date.
 
 
·
Defined benefit pension plan: the Company elected to recognize all actuarial gains and losses against the retained earnings as at the date of transition to IFRS. See Note 27 for further details.
 
 
·
Borrowing costs: The Company has applied the transitional provisions in IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalizes borrowing costs on assets where construction was commenced on or after the date of transition.
 
 
·
Cumulative currency translation differences: cumulative currency translation differences are deemed to be zero as at April 1, 2009.
 
Estimates

The estimates at April 1, 2009 and at March 31, 2010 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Brazilian GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies) apart from the following items where application of Brazilian GAAP did not require estimation:

·     Biological assets
·     Contingent consideration
·     Certain financial instruments

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with IFRS reflect conditions at April 1, 2009, the date of transition to IFRS and as of March 31, 2010.

3.4 Reconciliation of net income – Year ended March 31, 2010

   
Note

The transition from Brazilian GAAP to IFRS did not result in a material impact on the statement of cash flows.

The significant adjustments as a consequence of the adoption of IFRS are described as follows:

a)     Biological assets

According to the IAS 41, biological assets of Cosan S.A. are measured at fair value at each reporting period, using the discounted cash flow method.

In accordance with accounting practices prior to the adoption of IFRS, the biological assets were recorded at their historical cost less amortization and were classified and presented in the statement of financial position as inventories or fixed assets  The costs classified in inventories related to maintenance costs of the crop to be harvested within 12 months, and the costs recognized in fixed assets related to the costs of the initial crop of sugarcane plants, which are amortized over five years, the estimated useful life.

The negative adjustment of biological assets to fair value as of the IFRS transition date was not considered an indicator of impairment of the previous carrying value of the previously classified inventory or fixed assets under Brazilian GAAP.   Rather, such previous asset values were deemed recoverable as of April 1, 2009 based on the estimated future cash flows of all crops to be grown on the land as they are used to produce sugar and ethanol, as compared to the current fair value of biological assets which is based on the current status on crops in process.

b)     Business combinations

Under IFRS 3, all assets and liabilities of businesses acquired after the transition date, including any intangible assets are valued at their fair value at the date of transaction. In addition, purchases of businesses with payment in shares or other securities issued by the purchaser must also be measured at fair value for purposes of determining the purchase price, which consequently affects the value of goodwill calculated. Cosan considered the transition date for application of IFRS 3 to be December 1, 2008, the date of acquisition of Cosan CL.

The buyer must recognize contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the consideration for obtaining control of the acquiree.

If the Company's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the acquisition cost, such excess is recorded as an immediate gain in income.

According to Brazilian GAAP, goodwill in a business combination was calculated based on the amount paid in cash.  Amounts paid with shares considered the equity value of the shares given and not their market value and determination of the amounts did not consider the existence of any intangible assets to be recorded.  Total consideration was then compared with the book value of the acquired company. If a discount was identified, it would be recorded in noncurrent liabilities.

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, goodwill on a business combination was calculated as the difference between the purchase price and the historical net assets of the business acquired. The purchase price, if not cash, and the net assets did not reflect any fair value considerations. Any negative goodwill would be presented as a liability.

c)     Non-controlling interests

Under IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, the participation of non-controlling interest is presented as a component of equity.

According to Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, non-controlling interests were presented between non-current liabilities and equity on the statement of financial position.

Also, some first time adoption adjustments impacted non-controlling interests.

d)     Deemed cost

Cosan S.A. elected to measure its farming land at fair value at the date of transition to IFRS. The adjustment was recorded against equity net of deferred taxes.

e)     Borrowing costs

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, Cosan S.A. did not capitalize borrowing costs. Cosan S.A. has applied the transitional provisions in IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalizes borrowing costs on assets where construction was commenced on or after the date of transition.

f)     Investment property in associate

Radar Propriedades Agricolas S.A. (“Radar”) is an equity method investment of the Company that invests in farming land for rent and future appreciation. Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, such land was recorded at cost. With the adoption of IFRS, Radar treated such land as investment property and elected to measure it at fair value. Fair value is measured at each reporting date, impacting the equity income of Cosan S.A. in regard to Radar.

g)     Warrants on equity method investment

Cosan S.A. holds warrants on Radar, exercisable at any time up to maturity (August 2018). Such warrants permit Cosan S.A. to purchase additional shares, equivalent to 20% of total shares as of the date of exercise. The exercise of warrants will not change the classification of this investment as an equity investment. Those warrants were not considered to be a financial instrument under Brazilian GAAP up to March 31, 2010 as they cannot be net settled. Radar is a privately owned entity. Under IFRS the warrants are treated as a separate financial instrument measured at fair value.

h)     Pension plan – defined benefit

Under Brazilian GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, the Company recorded its defined benefit plan under the corridor approach with respect to actuarial gains and losses. With the adoption of IAS 19, the Company elected to recognize actuarial gain and losses in the period the occur as a component of other comprehensive income.

i)     Reclassifications

The major reclassifications made in connection with the adoption of IFRS were as follows:

i) Judicial deposits

Under IFRS, judicial deposits related to provisions for legal proceedings are presented on a gross basis in non-current assets as they do not satisfy the requirements for compensation with the related liability under IAS 1. Previously, under Brazilian GAAP up to March 31, 2010, provisions for legal proceedings were presented net of related judicial deposits.

ii) Deferred income taxes

As required by IAS 12, all deferred income taxes have been reclassified to non-current assets or liabilities. Also, the balance of deferred income taxes was impacted by the adjustments previously mentioned.

Sugar production depends on the volume and sucrose content of sugarcane grown or supplied by farmers located near the plants. The yield of the crop and the sucrose content in sugarcane mainly depend on weather conditions such as rainfall rate and temperature, which may vary. Historically, weather conditions have caused volatility in the ethanol and sugar, and consequently in our operating results because they undermine or reduce crop yields. Future climate conditions may reduce the amount of sugar and sugarcane that the Company will obtain in a particular season or in the sucrose content of sugarcane. Additionally, our business is subject to seasonality according to the growth cycle of sugarcane in South-Central region of Brazil. The period of annual harvest of sugarcane in South-Central region of Brazil begins in April / May and ends in November / December. This creates variations in stock, usually high in November to cover sales between crop (i.e. from December to April) and a degree of seasonality in gross profit from sales of ethanol and sugar significantly lower in the last quarter of fiscal year. The seasonality and any reduction in the volume of sugar recovered could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the operating segments of the Company, at which goodwill is monitored for purposes of internal administration, not above the Company's operating segments. Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to three cash-generating units, which are also operating segments that provide information, as shown below:

·     Sugar and ethanol cash-generating unit (“S&E”);
·     Distribution of fuels and lubricants cash-generating unit (“CCL”);
·     Logistic cash-generating unit (“RUMO”).

The combined value of goodwill allocated to each unit is as follows:

Carrying amount of goodwill

Total goodwill
    2,697,221       2,623,152       2,214,077  

As defined in the accounting policy described in note 2.3 (k), the Company tests annually the recoverable amount of goodwill.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)


Nonfinancial long term assets, not subject to amortization, are reviewed whenever there are indications that the carrying value is not recoverable.

The Company uses the value in use method to determine the recoverable amount of the asset.  The value in use method is based on the projection of the expected cash flows of cash-generating units. In connection with the application of the value in use method, the key assumptions are sales prices of all commodities, operating costs, capital investment and discount rates.

Management determines its cash flows based on its annual budgets taking into account for each cash generating unit (i) S&E: the expected long-term sales price of commodities, productivity of agricultural areas, the performance of total recoverable sugar (“ATR”), and related costs, (ii) CCL: the expected growth in operations based on gross domestic product and other macroeconomic aspects, (iii) Rumo: expectations of the Brazilian sugar production destined designated mainly for export. All these cash flows are discounted at rates that reflect specific risks relating to assets relevant to each cash generating unit.

Management has not identified any impairments for its cash generating units. The determination of the recoverable amount depends on certain key assumptions as described above which are influenced by market conditions, technological and economic forces present at the time that the impairment test is undertaken and thus management cannot determine if impairment losses will occur in the future.

Tax recovery program – Law 11.941/09 e Provisional Measure 470/09 (“Refis IV”)

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. Such discounts generated a gain of R$270,333, recorded in the income statement.

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.

In assessing the 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 S.A. will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at March  31, 2011, 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. Income tax losses carry forward and social contribution tax losses may be offset against a maximum of 30% of annual taxable income earned, with no statutory limitation period.

(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 – Tax recovery program. 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 17).

(ii) In 1993 subsidiary Cosan CL filed a suit to challenge the balance sheet restatement index (IPC) established by the federal government in 1989, considering that such index did not reflect the actual inflation back then. The use of this index led the Company to supposedly overstate and overpay the income and social contribution taxes. Cosan CL obtained a favorable preliminary court ruling that allowed it to recalculate the financial position, using indexes that accurately measured the inflation over the period. In doing so the company adjusted the amounts of income and social contribution taxes payable and identified that overpayments for both taxes were offset in subsequent years until 1997. 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 which led the Company to record a provision in relation to those court rulings.

(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.

(iv) The provision for ICMS credits is comprised of: (a) tax assessment received, in which, despite the defense filed at the administrative and judicial levels, the legal counsel of the Company understand it is more likely than not that a loss will occur, (b) recovery of credits and financial charges on issues in which Company´s management has a differing view from the tax authorities.

b)     Civil and labor claims

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of civil claims related to (i) indemnity for physical and moral damages; (ii) public civil claims related to sugarcane stubble burning; and (iii) environmental matters.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of labor claims filed by former employees and service providers challenging, among other factors, the payment of additional hours, night shift premium and risk premium, employment inclusion, reimbursement of discounts from payroll, such as social contribution, trade union charges, among others.

Judicial demands deemed as possible loss

a)     Tax claims

The main tax claims for which the unfavorable outcome is deemed possible and, therefore, no provision for legal claims was recorded, are as follows:

   
2011
   
2010
   
April 1, 2009
 
Withholding income taxes (i)
    194,498       182,824       161,440

      1,571,132       1,211,573       764,684  

(i)     Tax assessment – withholding income tax

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.

 
(ii)
ICMS – State VAT

Refers mainly to (i) Tax Assessment filed in view of the alleged lack of payment of ICMS and non-compliance with accessory obligation, in connection with the partnership and manufacturing upon demand, with Central Paulista Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., between May to December 2006 and May to December 2007; and (ii) ICMS levied on the remittances of crystallized sugar for export purposes. In accordance with the tax agent, such product is classified as semi-finished product and that, in accordance with the ICMS regulation, would be subject to taxation and (iii) ICMS levied on possible differences in terms of sugar and alcohol inventories, arising from magnetic tax files and Inventory Registry Books and (iv) ICMS concerning rate difference due to ethanol sales to companies located in other states, which, subsequently, had their registrations revoked and (v) disallowance of credit resulting from the acquisition of diesel used in the production process.

(iii) IPI – Federal VAT

SRF Normative Instruction n° 67/98 approved the procedure adopted by the industrial establishments which performed remittances without registries and payment of the IPI rate, in regard to transfers of sugarcane carried out between July 6, 1995 and November 16, 1997 and refined sugar between January 14, 1992 and November 16, 1997. Such rule was considered in proceedings filed by the Federal Revenue Secretariat against the Company, the unfavorable outcome of which is deemed as possible, in accordance with the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors.

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

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

(v) Social Security Contribution

Refers mainly to tax assessment received and defended by the legal counsel, concerning social security contribution on: (i) stock option plan and (ii) export sales and (iii) resale of materials for companies under common control and suppliers.

(vi) PIS and COFINS

Refers mainly to the reversal of PIS and COFINS credits, provided by Laws 10.637/2002 and 10.833/2003, respectively. Those reversals arise from a differing interpretation of the laws by the Internal Revenue Service in regard to raw materials. Such discussions are still at the administrative level.

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 R$879,896, and noncontrolling shareholders acquired the remaining 6,518 shares for R$104.  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 R$26,147, which resulted in a gain which is recorded as financial income.  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 R$527,880. Of this amount, the Company received 26,996,089 common shares valued at R$431,937.

Financial risk management

 
a)
Overview

The Company is exposed to the following risk related to the use of financial instruments:

 
·
price risk
 
·
foreign exchange rates
 
·
interest rates
 
·
credit risk
 
·
liquidity risk

This note presents information about the Company exposure for which risk above, the object of the Company’s risk management policies, the polices and processes for measurement, risk management and capital management.

 
b)
Risk management structure

The Company has two committees related to risk management: (i) Risk management committee, formed by three Board Director´s members, one of them independent member, that meet, at least once by year, to discuss and determine the Company´s hedge policies; (ii) Executive risk committee, formed by management of the Company, that meets on a weekly basis to analyze the foreign exchange and commodities market trends.  The committee also reviews cover positions and the strategy of pricing exports of sugar in order to reduce the adverse effects of changes in sugar prices and the foreign exchange rate as well as monitoring the liquidity risks and counterparty (credit).

The Company is exposed to market risks, mainly related to the volatility of sugar prices and foreign exchange rates. Management analyzes these risks and uses financial instruments to hedge a portion of the risk exposure.

On March 31, 2011, 2010 and April 1, 2009, fair values related to transactions involving derivative financial instruments with the purpose of hedge or other purposes were measured at market value (fair value) by observables factors such as quoted prices in active markets or discounted cash flows based on market curves and are presented below:

c)     Price risk

This arises from the potential for fluctuations in the market prices of products sold by the Company, mainly raw material sugar - VHP (sugar #11) and white sugar (LIFFE sugar #5). These fluctuations in prices can cause substantial changes in the revenues of the Company.  To mitigate these risks, the Company constantly monitors the markets, seeking to anticipate changes in prices.

The fair value of these derivatives was measured by observable factors, such as quoted prices in active markets and, in some cases, by means of models whose assumptions are observable in the market.

d)     Foreign Exchange risk

This arises from the possibility of fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies used by the Company for the export revenues of products, imports, debt cash flow and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.  The Company uses derivative transactions to manage the risks of cash flow coming from the export revenues denominated in U.S. dollars, net of other cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The table below demonstrates the consolidated positions outstanding on March 31, 2011 of derivatives used to hedge exchange rates:

e)     Effects of hedge accounting

In the beginning of the year ended at March 31, 2011, the Company formally designated its transactions subject to hedge accounting for cash flow hedges from sugar VHP (raw material) export revenue, documenting: (i) the relationship of the hedge, (ii) the Company’s purpose for taking the hedge and its risk management strategy, (iii) identification of the financial instrument, (iv) the transaction or item covered, (v) the nature of the risk being hedged, (vi) a description of the hedging relationship (vii) the demonstration of correlation between the hedge and the object of coverage, and (viii) the prospective analysis of hedge effectiveness. The Company has designated derivative financial instruments of Sugar # 11 (NYBOT or OTC) to cover the risk of price and Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF) to cover exchange rate risk, as demonstrated in topics (b) and (c) of this Note.

The Company records gains and losses deemed effective for purposes of hedge accounting to a specific account in equity (“other comprehensive income”), until the object of coverage (hedged item) affects the profit and loss. On March 31, 2011, the amounts recorded in other comprehensive income related to hedge accounting are as follows:

During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded the amount of R$15,568 on its results of operations due to hedged items that would no longer qualify to be designated under hedge accounting. Also, the Company recorded the amount of R$18,679 related to the gains and losses of the hedges’ ineffectiveness during the year ended March 31, 2011.

f)     Interest rate risk

The Company monitors fluctuations of the interest rates related to certain loan contracts, mainly those with Libor interest rate risk, and in the event of increased volatility of such rates, it may engage in transactions with derivatives so as to minimize such risks. At March 31, 2011, the Company has not presented interest rate risk derivatives outstanding (US$ 300,000, as March 31, 2010, which fair value was R$624).

g)     Credit risk

A significant portion of sales made by the Company is to a select group of best-in-class counterparts (i.e. trading companies, fuel distribution companies and large supermarket chains).

Credit risk is managed through specific rules of client acceptance including credit ratings and 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 covered by the allowance for doubtful accounts.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The Company buys and sells commodity derivatives in futures and options markets on the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) and the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (LIFFE), as well as in the over-the-counter (OTC) market with selected counterparties. The Company buys and sells foreign exchange derivatives on BM&FBovespa and OTC contracts registered with CETIP (OTC clearing house) with banks Goldman Sachs & Co, Banco Santander S.A., Espirito Santo Investment do Brasil S.A., Deutsche Bank S.A. – Banco Alemão, Banco Bradesco S.A., Banco JP Morgan S.A., Banco Standard de Investimentos S.A., e Banco BTG Pactual S.A..

Guarantee margins – The Company’s derivative operations on commodity exchanges (NYBOT, LIFFE and BM&FBovespa) require an initial guarantee margin. The brokers with which the Company operates on these commodity exchanges offer credit limits for these margins. As of March 31, 2011, the total credit limit used as initial margin was R$136,420 (R$68,646 as of March 31, 2010). As a requirement to trade in BM&FBovespa, the Company posted on March 31, 2011, the amount of R$50,000 (R$83,042 as of March 31, 2010) as guarantee in the form of a settlement bond issued by a first-class banking institution. Over-the-counter derivative transactions of the Company are exempt from margin guarantees.

 
h)
Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or other financial assets. The approach of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure, as much as possible, which always has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations to win, under normal and stress, without causing unacceptable losses or risk damaging the reputation of the Company.

 
i)
Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included in the price at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between parties willing to negotiate, and not in a forced sale or liquidation. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their respective carrying values due largely to short-term maturity of these instruments.

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The fair value of marketable securities and bonds is based on price quotations on the date of the financial statements. The fair value of non-negotiable instruments, bank loans and other debts, obligations under finance leases, as well as other non-current financial liabilities are estimated by the discounted future cash flows using rates currently available for debt or deadlines and similar instruments.

The fair market value of Senior Notes due 2014 and 2017, described in note 16, at its market price is 116.25% 108.75% and, respectively, of its face value at 31 March 2011.

The fair market value of Perpetual bonds, described in note 16, at its market price is 100,6%, respectively, of its face value at 31 March 2011.

In respect of other loans and financing, their fair market values substantially approximate the amounts recorded in the financial statements due to the fact that these financial instruments are subject to variable interest rates.

The fair value of financial assets available for sale is obtained through quoted market prices in active markets, if any.

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily financial institutions with credit ratings of investment grade. The derivatives valued using valuation techniques with observable market data relate mainly to interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts and term contracts for commodities futures. The valuation techniques applied more often include pricing models for fixed-term contracts and swaps, with a present value calculations. The models incorporate various data, including credit quality of counterparties, the rates of currency spot and forward, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the commodity underlying.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company has the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the technical evaluation:

 
·
Level 1: quoted prices in a active market to identical assets and liabilities;
 
·
Level 2: other techniques for which all data that have significant effect on the fair value recorded are observable, directly or indirectly; and
 
·
Level 3: techniques that use data that have significant effect on the fair value recorded that are not based on observable market data.

Sensitivity analysis

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 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 financial instruments. The probable scenario was defined based on the futures sugar and US dollar market curves as of March 31, 2011, the same which determines the fair value of the derivatives at that date. Possible and remote scenarios were defined based on adverse impacts of 25% and 50% over the sugar and dollar price curves, which served as basis for the probable scenario.

Shared-based payments

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. 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. 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% 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.

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., due to changing in the management at that date.

According to the market value at the date of issuance, the exercise price is R$ 6.11 per share, without any discount. The exercise price was calculated before the valuation mentioned above based on an expected private equity agreement was not achieved. The options can be exercised after a waiting period of one year, considering a maximum percentage of 25% per annum of the total stock options offered by Cosan S.A. within a period of 5 years.

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

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

On March 31, 2011 all stock options related to that plan were exercised by issuance of new shares.

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
    6.11       6.11       6.11

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
    12.35       18.19       (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. expected term represents the period that Cosan S.A. 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.

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. IPO in Brazil, in 2005.

Expected Dividends – As Cosan S.A. was 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 the SELIC - Special System Settlement Custody.

The significant adjustments from US GAAP as a consequence of the adoption of IFRS are described as follows:

a)     Biological assets

According to the IAS 41, biological assets of Cosan S.A. are measured at fair value at each reporting period, using the discounted cash flow method.
 
 
89

 

COSAN LIMITED

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)


In accordance with US GAAP, the biological assets were recorded at their historical cost less amortization and were classified and presented in the statement of financial position as inventories or fixed assets. The costs classified in inventories related to maintenance costs of the crop to be harvested within 12 months, and the costs recognized in fixed assets related to the costs of the initial crop of sugarcane plants, which are amortized over five years, the estimated useful life.

The negative adjustment of biological assets to fair value as of the IFRS transition date was not considered an indicator of impairment of the previous carrying value of the previously classified inventory or fixed assets under US GAAP. Rather, such previous asset values were deemed recoverable as of April 1, 2009 based on the estimated future cash flows of all crops to be grown on the land as they are used to produce sugar and ethanol, as compared to the current fair value of biological assets which is based on the current status on crops in process.

b)     Business combinations

Under IFRS 3, all assets and liabilities of businesses acquired after the transition date, including any intangible assets are valued at their fair value at the date of transaction. In addition, purchases of businesses with payment in shares or other securities issued by the purchaser must also be measured at fair value for purposes of determining the purchase price, which consequently affects the value of goodwill calculated. Cosan considered the transition date for application of IFRS 3 to be December 1, 2008, the date of acquisition of Cosan CL.

The buyer must recognize contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the consideration for obtaining control of the acquiree.

 If the Company's interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the acquisition cost, such excess is recorded as an immediate gain in income.

Business combinations are treated in a similar manner under US GAAP, but as the primary GAAP used in the preparation of these IFRS financial statements was Brazilian GAAP, (i) business combinations effects accounted for under BR GAAP prior to December 1, 2008 have been reversed and (ii) goodwill amortization effects accounted for under BR GAAP prior to March 31, 2009 have been included.

c)     Deemed cost

Cosan S.A. elected to measure its farming land at fair value at the date of transition to IFRS. The adjustment was recorded against equity net of deferred taxes.

Years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(In thousand Reais, unless otherwise stated)


d)     Borrowing costs

Under US GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, the Company capitalized borrowing costs, but as the primary GAAP used in the preparation of these IFRS financial statements was Brazilian GAAP, in which borrowing costs were not capitalized, Cosan has applied the transitional provisions in IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and capitalizes borrowing costs on assets where construction was commenced on or after the date of transition.

e)     Warrants on equity method investment

Cosan S.A. holds warrants on Radar, exercisable at any time up to maturity (August 2018). Such warrants permit Cosan S.A. to purchase additional shares, equivalent to 20% of total shares as of the date of exercise. The exercise of warrants will not change the classification of this investment as an equity investment. Those warrants were not considered to be a financial instrument under US GAAP up to March 31, 2010 as they cannot be net settled. Radar is a privately owned entity.   Under IFRS the warrants are treated as a separate financial instrument measured at fair value.

f)     Investment property in associate

Radar is an equity method investment of the Company that invests in farming land for rent and future appreciation. Under US GAAP, up to March 31, 2010, such land was recorded at cost. With the adoption of IFRS, Radar treated such land as investment property and elected to measure it at fair value. Fair value is measured at each reporting date, impacting the equity income of the Company in regard to Radar.

g)     Sale leaseback

On December 30, 2008, Cosan sold land to Radar resulting in a gain of R$188,866. The Company leased back the land. Under US GAAP this gain was deferred and was being amortized over the 19 year average term of the leases.

Under IFRS, since the sale price was based on the fair value of the land the gain was recorded on the transition date against accumulated earnings.

h)     Deferred income taxes

As required by IAS 12, all deferred income taxes have been reclassified to non-current assets or liabilities. Also, the balance of deferred income taxes was impacted by the adjustments previously mentioned.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
March 31, 2011


Cosan Limited submits for appreciation by its shareholders the Management Report for its most relevant asset – Cosan S.A. Industria e Comercio - and relevant Financial Statements, together with the Opinion of the Independent Auditors, relative to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil which are almost equal to international accounting practices (IFRS). The Company also makes available a detailed version of the Financial Statements and its release on results on site www.cosan.com.br/ri.

MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
 
This year was marked by the consolidation of the company's strategy in confirming to be a lead and innovative company on the market with well-defined focus on growth and value creation from synergies with its integrated business units. The joint venture with Shell, achieved during this fiscal year, was a transformational deal for the business as this enabled forces to be joined and position itself as the integrated sole player with ability to consolidate and grow in the Brazilian sugar-ethanol market, and create the conditions for ethanol to become a global commodity.

During this year, the new company resulting from the joint venture with Shell was named; the sugar and ethanol production company’s name is Raízen Energia S.A. and the fuel distribution company shall be Raízen Combustíveis S.A..

Despite the great efforts dedicated by the company to the success of this joint venture, the company still managed to grow and expand its capacity and focus on taking advantage of the best opportunities available on the market to acquire sugar and ethanol mills. In addition, the company was able to carry on the investment plan for its other business units, particularly the Rumo Logística which this year has invested approximately R$ 0.5 billion in the acquisition of new locomotives, wagons and on the railway, by partnering with ALL (America Latina Logística S.A.) to generate efficiency and capacity of the railroad and flow of sugar to the port of Santos.

The energy cogeneration project continued its deployment throughout this fiscal year so that the next year’s crop can start with new units already equipped to start selling energy under contracts executed. These new units will contribute with significant cash flow generation and help growth and consolidation in the ethanol and sugar production industry.

Also during fiscal year 2011, we managed to acquire a sugar and ethanol mill located in the Araraquara region, where other Group’s mills are located, which allows for the creation of synergies, in addition to the 2.6 million tons added to our sugarcane ability.

Regarding the ​​fuel distribution, the Raízen Combustíveis will have a major challenge in integrating and consolidating the Shell's business and CCL’s operations (formerly Esso Brasileira de Petróleo.) The new company will have a network of 4,500 service stations, 550 convenience stores, presence in 52 airports, 53 terminals, and distribution of over 20

billion gallons of fuel. The expected creation of value, after integration of the two companies’ operations is R$ 3.4 billion in present value of synergies to be captured over the next year.

The lubricants business will continue to be controlled by Cosan, therefore, was not included in the assets contributed to Raízen. During fiscal year 2011, we had significant achievements in terms of growth strategy with creation of value, raking third in market share in this segment. Moreover, anchored on a marketing campaign we managed to launch new products with a focus on serving our customers who demand a differentiated product to lubricate their machines, vehicles, and equipment.

Our land company, Radar S.A. still plays a very important strategic role in the acquisition of agriculturally viable land, occupying areas with potential for appreciation both for growing sugarcane and to new agricultural frontiers in Brazil. Throughout this year, all capital invested in the company by its shareholders was fully invested in the purchase of approximately 85 000 hectares of land.

Finally, Cosan Alimentos, our business that distributors sugar to the Brazilian market, with approximately 40% market share, with brands Union and Da Barra, will continue to be controlled by Cosan. The next year, it will be important for the development of this business strategy, which seeks to create value based on the high-value brand Union and the current logistics structure to meet approximately 90,000 outlets currently existing.

For this upcoming fiscal year, the company is determined and motivated to strengthen the foundations of its structure, which will enable to capture important synergies with the integration and consolidation of its businesses. The company sees the challenge of overcoming the barriers of integrating different cultures as an opportunity to growth and a competitive advantage because it can count on a wide variety of employees of highly efficient and technically seasoned. May this new fiscal year be part of the company’s history as the beginning of a new cycle of growth with sustainability and security so that the company can consolidate itself as a world’s reference for clean and renewable energy.

Market and Sector Overview
 
Crushing in Center-South (CS) region of Brazil reached 556.8 million tons of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest, an amount 2.75% higher than the previous harvest according to data provided by UNICA. Sugarcane production increased by 16.9%, reaching 33.5 million tons, while ethanol production reached 25.4 billion liters, 7.1% higher than the previous harvest, 18.0 billion liters of which of hydrous ethanol and 7.4 billion liters of anhydrous ethanol. The lower sugarcane availability when compared to the initial projections made by UNICA, resulted from an extremely dry weather which, in spite of maximizing the amount of sugar equivalent in the sugarcane (ATR), has reduced its productivity rate by planted area. ATR per ton of sugarcane in the 2010/11 harvest totaled 141.20 kg, while during the 2009/10 harvest the ATR totaled 130,23 kg/ton. With the elevated prices in the international market, the production mix for sugar increased from 42.6% in the previous harvest to 44.71% in this harvest.
 
 
93

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
Crushing estimate for 2011/12 harvest is of 568.5 million of sugarcane, which represents an increase of 2.1% when compared to the previous harvest. This low increase for the second year in a row is a result of scarcity of raw materials, mainly impacted by the aging of the reeds due to the lack of investments in the sector, combined with an unfavorable weather condition in the previous harvest, as mentioned above. It is expected that 2011/12 harvest has an even more sugar profile, due to the investments made in sugar production driven by the elevated prices in the global market. The estimate of sugarcane production is of 34.6 million tons, while ethanol estimate is of 25.51 billion liters, with a higher share of anhydrous ethanol in the total amount.
 
Most recent numbers from UNICA indicate a decrease of sugarcane crushing in the beginning of 2011/12 harvest until May 16, 2011, totaling in 56.7 million tons, 39.5% lower than the same period in the previous harvest. The main reasons for this decrease are: (i) the delay in the beginning of the production units, due to the lowest availability of sugarcane, (ii) sugarcane quality inferior to the previous harvest with 8.51kg less of ATR per ton of sugarcane and (iii) anticipation in the previous harvest when some production units operated even during the slump period. The production mix began to prioritize ethanol due to the elevated prices in the domestic market, in which 59.87% of sugarcane was destined to this product and 40.13% destined to sugar. Sugar production reached 2.4 million tons, a decrease of 46.7% in comparison to the previous harvest, while ethanol production reached 2.2 billion liters, 1.3 billion liters of hydrous ethanol and 843,0 million of anhydrous ethanol, representing a decrease of 55.1% and an increase of 4.2%, respectively.
 
 
Sugar
 
 
 
In the domestic market, the price of sugar remained elevated, with the bag of sugar of 50kg, based on ESALQ, traded in the quarterly average at R$74.0. Maintenance of high prices of sugar occurred due to the production encouragement of VHP to export, which resulted in a low availability of the product in the internal market once sugar production in the 2010/11 harvest increased by 16.94% or 5 million tons.
 
 
94

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
In Russia, the planted area expansion wasn’t enough to compensate the agricultural income losses related to the dryness due to high temperatures. For this reason, the development potential of beet was restrict and sugar production reached 3 million tons, which represents a decrease of 1 million tons in relation the initial expectations. Because of low availability there was a strong prices increase, which caused the Russian government to anticipate the reduction in import rates.
 
In India, the high availability of sugarcane resulted in a production Record in the region of Maharashtra of 9 million tons, which compensated the production decrease in Uttar Pradesh at the end of the harvest. Generally, the production in India must reach 26.1 million tons, only 400,000 tons lower to the market expectations. The government has authorized an export license of 500 thousand tons of sugar through OGL regimen until June 17.
 
Harvest in Thailand exceeded the expectations of the market reaching approximately 95 million tons of processed sugarcane, which represents a growth of 35% in annual comparison. The decision to prioritize the production of raw sugar instead of white sugar due to high premiums in the commodity market spot impacted the global balance of raw sugar, causing a low price of the product in the international market.
 
As a result, raw sugar price in this 4Q11 was of an average of ¢US$30,54/lb, 5,1% higher than the 3Q11 and 24.6% higher than the 4Q10 average, reaching
 
 
 ¢US$24,52/lb in the end of December. Refined sugar present an average price of US$751,43/ton for the period in the international market, 14.0% higher than in the 4Q10 and 2.8% higher than in the 3Q11.
 
 
In the 4Q11, Real currency presented an average quotation of R$1.67/US$, 1,8% lower than the average of the previous quarter and 7.5% lower than the 4Q10. The exchange rate at the end of the period was of R$1.6 3/US$, compared to R$ 1.67/US$ as of December 2010 and R$ 1.78/US$ as of March 2010.
 
 
Ethanol
 
 
 
 
95

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
In the ethanol domestic market, the prices reached elevated level due to a very tight offer and demand balance, mainly due to (i) a shortfall of harvest in Brazil; (ii) a sugar production maximization and (iii) an increase of 6% in the light vehicles fleet. The average price for hydrous ethanol, based in ESALQ, was of R$ 1.237,3/m3 in the 4Q11, 21.9% higher than the previous quarter and 18.8 higher than the 4Q10. The average price of anhydrous ethanol was of R$ 1.361,1/m3, an increase of 14.7% in comparison to the 3Q11 and of 14.5% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year.
 
In this quarter there have also been important changes in the sector, with ANP (Brazilian National Oil Agency) being the official institution which shall regulate the ethanol market, which shall now be referred to as a fuel and no longer as an agricultural product, due to its strategic importance to Brazil. In addition, changes also have occurred to the mandatory blend of anhydrous ethanol to gasoline, which previously could vary from 2% to 25% and the lowest limit of which was reduced to 18%.
 
The average parity (weighted by fleet) of the price of hydrous ethanol in relation to gasoline in Brazil, calculated according to data provided by the ANP, was of approximately 80% at the end of the 4Q11, and only one Brazilian state, Mato Grosso, which represents 1.8% of the national fleet, with a parity of 70%.
 
Pursuant to ANFAVEA, during the 4Q11, 658.9 thousand flex-fuel vehicles were licensed throughout Brazil, which means 85% of the total new vehicles and a growth of 1.0% in relation to the 4Q10.
 
Fuel
 
Pursuant to ANP, the volume of Diesel sold in the first quarter of 2011was 3.9% higher than the same period of the previous year, reaching 11.6 billion liters. In spite of the elevated prices of hydrous ethanol, which caused ethanol to be less competitive than gasoline, its consumption increased by 2.4% in the period, with a volume o f 2.9 billion liters as result of the growth in the Brazilian flex fuel fleet. The volume traded of gasoline A increased by 2.9%, with 6.0 billion liters sold in the quarter, which caused the volume of anhydrous ethanol (25% blended with gasoline A) traded in the quarter to reach 2.1 billion liters.
 
 
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
 
As from this year we are reporting the financial information in accordance with the new accounting rules effective in Brazil (“BR GAAP”), which are aligned with the international accounting principles (“IFRS”). This adoption has the date of April 1, 2009 as transition date (time in which we convert the opening balances in accordance with the old rules for the new accounting rules). Further details on these differences and main impacts from this change to the IFRS may be obtained and are detailed in explanatory note 3 of the financial statements.
 
In addition, as from the fiscal year 2011, the Company adopts the accounting criterion of hedge accounting, in order to provide more transparency to the hedging effects in its results. As well as in

Cosan net revenue in FY’11 reached R$18.1 billion, compared to R$15.3 billion in FY’10. This increase of 17.8% reflects another year of growth in all the business units, through the increase in production capacity and volume sold and services rendered. In CAA, even with a difficult harvest due to unfavorable weather conditions that affected the sugarcane, productivity we obtained a production increase due to (i) the increase in the use of the installed capacity of 2 greenfields (Jataí and Caarapó), (ii) expansion of the sugar plants (iii) and beginning of operation of other co-generation projects, coupled with better prices of sugar and ethanol, increasing CAA revenue at 18.0%, to R$6.4 billion. The net revenue of CCL presented increase of 16.3%, totaling R$11.8 billion, particularly due to the increase of 22.7% in the revenue of Diesel, 29.7% in the lubricants and 13.3% of gasoline. In Rumo, the transportation operation primarily based on the partnership agreement with  ALL – America Latina Logística S.A. was the main responsible for the increase of 186.8% in its net revenue, which totaled R$448.1 million, of which R$305.9 million arising from the transportation service and R$142.2 million from loading

Sugar Sales - CAA
 
The sugar sales totaled in this fiscal year R$3.9 billion, an increase of 14.1% in relation to the prior year. The main factors contributing for the increase of R$ 475.6 million were:
 
 
Þ
Increase of R$128 million arising from the higher volume sold, 3.8% higher than the prior year. The sales in the domestic market increased 17.4%, with 1,238.2 thousand tons reflecting the effect of 12 months of sales against 10 months in the year prior to the purchase of Cosan Alimentos and the greater concentration of TSR in the sugarcane (139.0 kg / ton of sugarcane compared to 129.8 kg / ton of sugarcane in 2009/10 crop). However, the lower than expected harvest affected the sugar production and the exports of this  product decreased 1% in comparison to the previous year amounting to 3,052.6 thousand tons;
 
 
Þ
Increase of R$335 million due to prices 10% higher, with the prices in the domestic market 11.2% higher and the prices in the foreign market presenting an increase of only 7.5% when compared to the same prior year period, due to the effect of the hedge accounting, which had a negative impact of R$160.3 million.
 
The effect from the mix of products contributed with R$ 13 million, with a higher mix of sugar sold in the domestic market that reached 29% against 25.5% in the prior fiscal year.

Ethanol Sales - CAA
 
The revenue from ethanol in FY’11 totaled R$2.2 billion, presenting an increase of 26.1% when compared to the previous year. We highlight, below, the main factors that increased the revenue at R$ 456.1 million:
 
 
Þ
Gains of R$81.2 million arising from the increase in the volume of ethanol sold due to the: (i) incorporation of  Cosan Alimentos plants in June 2009 which increased our crushing capacity; (ii) greater concentration of TSR and  (iii) ramp-up of the greenfields Jataí and Caarapó.
 
 
99

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
 
Þ
Gains of R$358.3 million, due to the increase of 20.5% in the average price of ethanol in the domestic and international markets;
 
 
Þ
Gains of R$16,6 million due to the effect of mix of products with less participation of sales in the foreign market, which presented lower average prices than the domestic market.
 
Ethanol
 
Volume (Million liters) and Average unit price (R$/thd liters) 


 
Throughout this year, the Company opted for keeping a regular pace in its ethanol sales as evidenced in the prior quarters reflex of the commercial strategy of the Company.
 
The inventories levels in 4Q11 presented a drop of 27.3% compared to the 4Q10, even with a production 20% higher than the previous year, due to the stronger demand and higher prices in the inter-harvest period.

Other Products and Services - CAA
 
The revenue from other products and services of CAA decreased 14.8%, or R$23.9 million in relation to FY’10, mainly due to Cosan’s strategic repositioning with the reduction in sales of products DaBarra Alimentos in the retail market which was alienated in February 2011 (except for the sugar brand).

Rumo
 
The net revenue of Rumo of R$448.1 million in the FY’11 was 186.7% higher than the FY’10, reflex from the beginning of transportation operations in January 2010, which presented revenue of R$305.9 million.
 
Loading revenue was in line with the prior year, totaling R$ 142.2 million in the year, despite the 8.0% volume lower, benefitted from the increase of 10.4% in the loading price.
 
The lower loaded volume in the year arises from the concentration of the volume exported in the peak months, above loading capacity, and the lower than expected harvest, which reduced the sugar available to be exported at the end of the harvest. This effect was partially offset by the increase in prices.
 
As a result of the higher value added to the loaded product, mainly for the increase of the transportation operations, which exceed the initial expectation for the first year of operations, the revenue per loaded ton in this quarter was 3.1 times higher than the FY’10.

CCL net revenue amounted to R$11.8 billion in the FY’11, 16.3% higher than the prior year, and the fuels revenue increased 15.5%, reaching R$10.9 billions. The main factors affecting the fuels revenue in this quarter were:
 
 
Þ
Increase of 21.6% in the sold volume of Diesel when compared to the FY’10. This increase occurred due to the following factors:
 
 
o
Increase of 9.0% in the domestic consumption of Diesel, according to ANP, due to the increase in the demand from industrial clients and transportation due to the recovery of the economic activity in the country.
 
 
o
Gains of market-share in the retail market, and mainly in the industrial segment.
 
 
Þ
Increase of 11.3% in gasoline C volume sold in relation to  the FY’10, partially compensated by the lower ethanol sold, due to the increase of percentage of flex fuel cars users that opted for this fuel replacing the hydrous ethanol;
 
 
Þ
Increase in the average unit prices of ethanol, gasoline and Diesel, and of the greater participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of sales, which present higher prices than ethanol.

Cost of Products Sold 

The Cost of products sold (COGS) totaled R$15.1 billion, in comparison to R$13.3 billion in the previous year. In CAA, before IFRS adjustments, we had an increase of 20.4%, or R$828.9 million is mainly reflex from (i) the higher volume of equivalent sugar sold, (ii) increase in the refined sugar activity for sale in the domestic market and (iii) increase in depreciation/amortization. In Rumo, the beginning of transportation activities was the main responsible for the increase of 147.6% of COGS. In CCL, the growth of 16.5% in COGS, which totaled R$11.014,1 million, is a reflex, mainly from the higher volume sold, higher participation of Diesel and gasoline in the mix of products sold, in addition to the increase in the acquisition cost of ethanol.
 
In addition, the Company COGS had the following adjustments relating to the adoption of IFRS:
 
 
Þ
Biological Assets, CPC 29 (IAS 41): the biological assets of the Company are now measured at their fair value, applying the future discounted cash flow method, the impact of which in the variation of fair value for the year ended March 31 , 2011 was R$ 381.9 million (R$44.9 million in 2010).
 
 
Þ
Business combination, CPC 15 (IFRS 3): the assets and liabilities of acquired business are evaluated at their fair value at the date of each transaction, increasing, mostly, the basis of the Company fixed assets and, accordingly, the depreciation (therefore no impact in EBITDA). As result, we had higher costs with amortization and depreciation of assets related to the acquisitions of Cosan Alimentos, Teaçu and Esso Brasileira (current CCL), impacting all of the Company’s business units.

* In the cash-cost of sugar and ethanol, the plantation, crop treatment, agricultural depreciation (machinery and equipment),  industrial depreciation and maintenance of inter harvest, are not considered.

 
CAA
 
As mentioned in prior quarterly letters, since the beginning of this fiscal year, we presented the unit cost of sugar and ethanol excluding the amortization and depreciation effects (cash-cost), in order to better analyze their behavior throughout the quarters.
 
 
105

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
The depreciation and amortization effects on the unit costs reflected investments made in the sugarcane plantation, maintenance of our industrial facilities, mechanization of harvest in the greenfields projects (Jataí and Caarapó) that started operations at the end of the past harvest, in the cogeneration units and in the improvement of security and sustainability of our operations.
 
The cost of products sold and services rendered of CAA amounted to R$4.4 billion, presenting an increase of 9%, or R$362 million, compared to the previous year. The mains factors that explain this increase, in addition to the adjustments related to the adoption of IFRS mentioned above, are:
 
 
Þ
The higher volume of sugar and ethanol sold, which was responsible for the increase of R$161.1 million;
 
 
Þ
R$360.0 million from sugar origination, characterized by the purchase of raw materials for refining and finished products for later resale and distribution in the domestic market;
 
 
Þ
R$54.2 million of ethanol origination in order to benefit of market opportunities;
 
 
Þ
Increase of approximately R$234.9 million due to the increase in TSR price according to Consecana formula, which defines the compensation to suppliers and land leasing, that increased from R$0.3492/kg of TSR to R$0.4022/kg of TSR;
 
 
Þ
These effects were partially offset by the increase in the amount of TSR, from 131.1kg/ton of sugarcane to 139.9kg/ton due to more adequate weather conditions improving the cost at R$187.9 million in the FY’11.
 

Rumo
 
The COGS of Rumo in the FY’11 of R$316.5 million presented an increase of 147.6% in comparison to the prior year, due to the beginning of  transportation, transfer, storage operations in the interior and contracting of railway freights. On the other hand, loading cost, which already occurred in the previous year, presented a slight reduction due to the lower loaded volume of bulk and bagged sugar, the latest presenting higher costs.
 
 
CCL
 
The COGS of CCL presented an increase of 16.5% compared to the FY’10. Excluding the volume factor, the unit cost of R$1,764/cbm in the FY’11 was 4.9% higher than the prior year. This effect results from the following factors:
 
 
Þ
Increase in the cost of ethanol, which impacts not only the hydrous ethanol that will be used in the flex fuel vehicles, but also the anhydrous that is blended into gasoline C (25% mandatory blend);
 
 
Þ
Increase of 1.7% in the unit cost of Diesel;
 
 
Þ
Mix of sales with more participation of gasoline and Diesel, which present higher unit costs than ethanol.
 
Gross Profit 

With these results, the FY’11 presented gross profit of R$2,913.4 million, 41.1% higher than the prior year, presenting a margin of 16.1%. CAA contributed with a gross profit of R$1,988.7 million, presenting gross margin (cash) of ethanol of 32.3%, and 45.0% of sugar, also beniffted from the
 
 
106

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
higher participation of results from cogeneration.  Rumo, on its turn, contributed with a gross profit of R$131.5 million, presenting consolidated margin of 29.4%. In CCL, the gross margin decreased slightly from 6.8% to 6.6%. However, when we analyse the gross margin in Brazilian Reais per cubic meter, it is noted a small increase to R$125.1/ thousand liters. This was due to:
 
 
Þ
Increase in the volume sold of lubricants, that despite the increase in the petroleum price presented a stability of margin due to the Company strategy of increasing the participation of higher value added products;
 
 
Þ
Higher participation of gasoline in the mix of products sold, which presents better margins than ethanol and Diesel.
 
 
Þ
Both effects above were partially offset by:
 
 
o
Worse margins of ethanol in the first  quarters of the year, which were not fully offset by the recovery in the interharvest period;
 
 
o
Mix with more participation of Diesel than, in the accumulated for the year, presented margins lower than the prior year, due to the Company strategy of increasing its participation of sales for industrial clients. Despite the lower unit margin, the higher volume sold of this products helps to dilute the fixed expenses for all the others;

The Selling Expenses of CAA totaled R$568.4 million in comparison to the R$469.8 million for the same prior year period. The increase of 21.0%, or R$98.5 million, reflects some factors:
 
 
Þ
Increase of 30% in the volume of sugar bagged for export, which presents a higher cost than sugar in bulk;
 
 
Þ
Significant increase in the volume of sugar in the retail of the domestic market;
 
 
Þ
Expenses with marketing of União brand;
 
 
Þ
Increase in the volume of ethanol in the domestic market in the modality CIF, which implies in increase in the expenditures with freight, more than offset by its higher price.

Due to the nature of its business, Rumo does not present Selling Expenses.

 
CCL
 
The Selling Expenses of CCL presented an increase of 14.5% or R$57.9 million, to R$456.1 million, mainly due to the higher volume sold. Accordingly, upon analyzing the Selling Expenses in unit terms, it may be noted that the unit expenses were in line (R$73.0/cbm) in the comparison between the periods, benefitted by the higher dilution of fixed expenditures due to the increase of 13.2% in the volume sold.

General and Administrative Expenses

The general and administrative expenses of R$541.0 million represented an increase of 9.0% in relation to R$496.3 million of FY’10. This increase reflects the efforts and investments, many of which are non recurring events, which are being conducted to improve the controls and management, but mainly aiming to increase operating efficiency for when the  investments are concluded, in addition to the expenditures incurred for the Association with Shell. The main factors that impacted the general and administrative expenses are described below.

The general and administrative expenses of R$393.0 million in FY’11 had an increase of 1.7% when compared to the same prior year period. Excluding non recurring expenses related to process of Association with Shell, which amounted to approximately R$30 million, general and administrative expenses of CAA would have presented an improvement of 6.0% in the compared period.
 
 
Rumo
 
The general and administrative expenses of Rumo amounted to R$29.1 million in the FY’11, presenting an increase of 60.8% in comparison to the prior year. Excluding the extraordinary expenses of approximately R$ 6.0 million related to the constitution of provisions and to the process of private placement of the company, the increase of 27.6% in the general and administrative expenses was already expected due to the contracting of:
 
 
Þ
New officers to strengthen the management team and composition of the company middle management;
 
 
Þ
Advisory for review and renegotiation of the suppliers contracts of Rumo;
 
 
Þ
Advisory for beginning and monitoring of the transportation operations
 
 
CCL
 
The general and administrative expenses of CCL amounted to R$118.9 million in the FY’11, an increase of 29.4% when compared to FY’10. Part of this increase is explained by provisions and amortizations in the approximate amount of R$8.0 million which were not carried out in the 1Q’10 and 2Q’10 (as described in the Letter of 1Q’11) and were carried out in the 3Q’10. In addition, it should be emphasized that, due to the investments in the Company improvement, CCL expenses are still being negatively affected by non-recurring expenses of approximately R$16.0 million related to adjustments for the transition for the Shared Services Center (CSC) and expenditures with the transition team for the Joint Venture with Shell.

CAA
 
The EBITDA of CAA totaled R$2,130.3 million in the FY’11, benefitted by the following IFRS adjustments:
 
 
Þ
Positive impact of R$381.9 million related to the evaluation at fair value of its Biological assets;
 
 
Þ
Positive impact of R$370.9 million in the year (R$292.4 million in the prior year) due to consideration of crop treatment made in the fields (after planting) as being Capex and as a consequence its amortization being considered for purposes of  EBITDA calculation, which improved the cash cost and as a consequence the EBITDA of CAA;
 
Excluding the effects from IFRS mentioned above, and non recurring expenses of R$ 30.0 million related to the JV with Shell (Raízen), the EBITDA of CAA would have totaled R$1,407.5 million this year, 22.6% higher than the adjusted EBITDA of the prior year, also excluding the non recurring gains of R$272.3 million from Refis.

 
Rumo
 
Benefited by the beginning of operation of the transportation activities, the EBITDA of Rumo in the FY’11 reached R$146.2 million, with margin of 32.6%, amount 2.0 times higher than the FY’10.
 
 
CCL
 
In thus year, CCL presented an EBITDA of R$394.5 million, with margin of R$63.2/thousand liters, or 3.3% of its net revenue. This EBITDA, as well as FY’10 EBITDA reported in IFRS, had a positive impact of R$ 35.8 million related to the adoption of IFRS, due to reclassification of investments in long term contracts with clients, treated before as prepaid expenses, as intangible assets, which affected both the reported Capex and the amortization considered for EBITDA purposes. In addition, CCL presented other operating revenues of R$31.8 million from the sale of assets. Excluding these IFRS adjustments and non recurring revenues/expenses, CCL EBITDA was R$343.0 million, 6.1% higher than the previous year EBITDA, due to the increase in volume sold, better mix and higher dilution of fixed expenses.

The expenses with debt charges, net of financial investments yields, presented an increase of 5.7%, when compared to the prior year, mainly due to the greater average indebtedness. This increase of net debt, mostly financed by BNDES, was mainly due to new investment projects in Rumo (with acquisition of locomotives, railcars and investment in permanent ways) as well as in the projects of  energy cogeneration. In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, we capitalized financial charges to fixed assets, which benefitted/reduced the financial expenses at R$ 70.5 million in the current year and R$ 43.3 million in the prior year.
 
The net effects of exchange variation was a revenue of R$282.7 million in the year, compared to a net revenue of R$559 million in the prior year. These positive effects from exchange variation occurred due to the impacts on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, mainly from the indebtedness in US dollar, due to the appreciation of local currency (Real), which appreciated 8.6% in this year and 23.1% in the prior year before the American currency. The gross indebtedness denominated in US dollars was R$ 3,622 million and R$ 3,502 million at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.
 
The result from derivatives in the year was positive at R$54.8 million compared to an also positive result of R$354.8 million in the prior year, net of the hedge accounting impacts. It should be pointed out that, in the prior year we did not adopt the hedge accounting and as a consequence the results from derivatives in both years are not comparable, since the gains/losses with derivatives in the current year financial results refer only to the derivative instruments not designed for hedge accounting and the non effective portion of the designed hedge.
 
In addition, as a result from the adoption of IFRS, measured at fair value the financial instruments known as warrants, which Cosan has in its investee RADAR, and the positive result in the year for the appreciation of this instrument was recognized as derivative gain and totaled R$ 13.0 million in the year, compared to R$24,0 million in the prior year.

Hedge Accounting Impacts 

As from April 1, 2010, the Company adopted the hedge accounting in the modality of cash flow, for certain derivative financial instruments designated to cover the sugar price risk and risk of exchange variation on revenues of sugar export. In the year ended March 31, 2011, we had the deferral (reclassification between financial results  and the “reserve” account, in net assets) of R$393.0 million in net losses with these derivatives, and R$160.3 million was transferred to net operating income for the year. The table below shows the expectation of transfer of the balance of gains/ losses of net assets at 3/31/11 to net operating income in future years in accordance with the coverage period of the designated hedge instruments.

Net income (R$ MM)

 
Cosan ended FY’11 with net income of R$771.6 million, compared to a net income of R$1,053.7 million of FY’10.
 
The result for FY’11 was benefited from larger volumes in CAA and CCL, better prices, specially, in sugar and ethanol, and the ramp-up of transportation activities of Rumo and of cogeneration projects, which justified an increase of 30% in the profit before the equity method, of the financial results and taxes on income, which increased from R$ 1,013.5 million in the prior year to R$ 1,312.6 million in the current year. It should also be pointed out that in the prior year we had a positive effect of R$ 270.3 million related to gains with the adhesion to the REFIS program, which did not occur this year.
 
The net financial income of the prior year which was R$ 455.1 million (compared to a net expense of R$ 146.7 million this year), also had an important participation in the result for that year, being significantly impacted by the gains with derivative transactions (of R$ 354.8 million) and gains with the effects from Real appreciation before the US dollar, which was less representative this year.
 
In terms of effective rate of taxes on income, compared to the nominal rate of 34%, this year we had an average rate of 35% compared to 29% in the prior year, considering that some gains in the scope of REFIS recognized that year, were not taxable.

CAA
 
In FY’11 the Company maintained the high level of investments in plantation and crop treatment that with the IFRS began to be treated as addition to the biological assets which increased 15% compared to the previous year. The expenses with inter harvest maintenance, which presented an increase of 54.9% when compared to the prior year, totaled R$514.2 million.
 
The investments related to Safety, Health and Environment (SSMA), presented an increase of 171.1% when compared to the prior period. Most of these investments were focused on vignasse, projects, which is a byproduct reused as fertilizer in the sugarcane crops, aiming to create less exposure in its transportation from the plant to the agricultural areas.
 
Investments in agricultural mechanization totaled R$124.1 million, 4 times what was invested in the prior year, basically composed of agricultural equipment and machinery and adjustment of its units to receive sugarcane from mechanized crop.
 
The CAA projects consumed R$251.6 million of total investments in the fiscal year, amount 44.4% higher than the prior year. Such growth shows that the Company continues to maintain substantial investments in its production units in the processing and agricultural areas.

COSAN LIMITED
 
 
The investments in cogeneration amounted to R$ 287.6 million, mainly for the units of Ipaussu, Univalem and Bonfim. Other units received small investments, less relevant due to the final phase of investments.
 
The investments in greenfield projects of Cosan, Jataí (GO) and Caarapó (MS), decreased 85.5%, compatible with the final stage of investments.
 
Investments in expansion of capacity of sugar plants totaled R$87.2 million, 35.7% lower than the investments in the same prior year period. This decrease was due to the conclusion of most of the projects in the units Gasa, Ipaussu, Bonfim, Junqueira, Tamoio, Costa Pinto and Barra.
 
In line with its growth plan and always alert for market opportunities, Cosan concluded, on February, the acquisition of Zanin mill, totaling R$90.0 million plus debts previously mentioned.
 
Rumo
 
Of the total of R$427.9 million invested by Rumo, in line with its business plan, approximately 55% was addressed to the acquisition of locomotives and 45% for investments in construction of permanent road, terminals in the countryside of São Paulo and in the Santos Port. In line with its business plan to become a multimodal logistics alternative, Rumo acquired, on March 2011, control of Logispot Armazéns Gerais for R$ 48.9 million.
 
CCL
 
In FY’11, the capex of CCL amounted to R$191.6million, representing an increase of 46.9% when compared to the prior year. Out of this total, R$68.3 million refer to the purchase of intangible assets related to long term contracts with clients, which were not treated as Capex before the IFRS. The remaining R$123.3 million are concentrated in the supply and distribution in the terminals of fuels distribution, implementation of new programs and system, especially in the tax area and the updating if the storage system of lubricants.
 

RETAINED EARNINGS PROPOSAL
Cosan S.A. Bylaws establishes minimum mandatory dividends of 25% of the Company’s annual net income, adjusted by legal reserves. Therefore Cosan provisioned in March 31st 2011 R$183.3 million. However, the management will propose at Annual General Meeting (AGM) to take place on July 29, 2011 a complement of R$ 16.7 million, amounting to R$ 200 million to be distributed if approved.

The remaining accumulated profits in the fiscal year, in the amount of R$ 549.8 million will be proposed to remain at an specific reserve account to investment projects in budget that will be approved at AGM.


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
 
 
116

 
 
COSAN LIMITED
 
 
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.

COSAN LIMITED

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, resulted from 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 was 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.

After such innovative contract, Cosan already settled several other partnerships based on sustainability Standards. In addition, Raízen, the joint venture between Cosan and Shell, committed to certify all its mills according to the Bonsucro standard by 2017.

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.

PERSPECTIVES

The new fiscal year promises great challenges for all Cosan’s business units but mainly for the new company resulting from partnership with Shell, Raízen. Once the negotiations with Shell have concluded and regulatory approval has been given (still pending approval from CADE), the new company, which began operating on June 1, 2011, has clear integration, consolidation and growth goals with great potential for creating value and capturing synergies.

COSAN LIMITED
 

The sugar, ethanol, and energy cogeneration segment of Raízen has laid down the foundation for the next five-year growth, which anticipates an increase in crushing capacity of its mills from 65 to 100 million tons of sugarcane. For the next year, investments in the growth strategy are expected to begin based on expansion of capacity at existing mills and increase in sugarcane growing area.
