As required by CVM's Guidance Opinion No. 29 of April 18, 1996, the financial statements as of June 30, 1999 were monetarily restated based on the monthly variation in the General Market Price Index (IGP-M) published by the Getulio Vargas Foundation. The Company opted to use this index as recommended by the Brazilian Association of Listed Companies (ABRASCA) to maintain consistency with those required by CVM Circular No. 03/95 of September 1, 1995. The accounting practices and criteria were applied consistently with those adopted in preparing the financial statements of Abril S.A. for the previous fiscal year. 2 - RECONCILIATION BETWEEN NET LOSS AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AS PER CORPORATE LAW AND CONSTANT PURCHASING POWER CURRENCY COMPANY CONSOLIDATED ------- ------------ Net Stockholders' Net Stockholders' loss equity loss equity ---- ------ ---- ------ Balances as per corporate law (247,357) (191,690) (247,357) (191,690) Gains on monetary items 8,971 (20,436) 51,010 50,737 Gains on stockholders' equity - 69,476 - 69,476 Gains and losses on deferred expenses - - 493 (5,830) Restatement of inventories - - (829) 1,031 Goodwill adjustments in subsidiaries (165) (2,849) 100 (6,035) Equity in results of subsidiaries and affiliated companies (60,186) (38,944) (7,953) - Provision for losses on subsidiaries 88,238 88,238 15,840 22,971 Gains (losses) on subsidiaries - 7,489 - 7,488 Income tax on discount to present value (stockholders' equity) - (1,150) - (1,150) Deferred income tax, net (11,110) (11,110) (11,110) (11,110) Minority interest - - (21,803) (36,864) ---------- --------- ---------- --------- Balances as per constant purchasing power currency (221,609) (100,976) (221,609) (100,976) ========== ========= ========== ========= Page 10 FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE CVM - BRAZILIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION QUARTERLY INFORMATION Date - 6.30.1999 Constant Purchasing Power COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01437-0 ABRIL S.A. 44.597.052/0001-62 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04.01 - NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY INFORMATION 3 - INCOME TAX The amounts charged and credited to the Provision for Income Tax account for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 are as follows: COMPANY CONSOLIDATED ------- ------------ Provision for deferred income tax asset (tax loss) 895 895 Income tax on constant purchasing power adjustments (11,110) (11,110) -------- -------- Income tax charged to result (10,215) (10,215) ======== ======== Page 11 FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE CVM - BRAZILIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION QUARTERLY INFORMATION Date - 6.30.1999 Constant Purchasing Power COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01437-0 ABRIL S.A. 44.597.052/0001-62 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05.01 - COMMENT ON THE COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER See report prepared in accordance with Corporate Law.
