As of March 31, 2009, the inventories of raw and packaging materials are evaluated and stated at

the average purchase cost, which is lower than the replacement cost or realizable value. As ofDecember 31, 2008, the inventories contemplated a provision for adjustment to market value as,

on that date, due to the world economic downturn, the average costs of certain inventories werehigher than the prices expected for the sale of the products. As of March 31, 2009, this provision

is no longer necessary because: (i) the majority of the inventories was sold in the period; and (ii)

the average costs of inventories were reduced due to the purchases in the period, which allowedfor the recovery of profit margins.

The consolidated deferred taxes include R$ 21 of tax losses generated by the subsidiarycompany in the first quarter.

(b) Estimated period of realization

The assets, net of the deferred tax liabilities, are expected to be realized as follows:

As the income tax and social contribution taxable bases not only arise from the profit that maybe generated, but also from the existence of non-taxable income, non-deductible expenses,

tax incentives and other variables, there is no immediate correlation between the Company'snet income and the income subject to income tax and social contribution. Therefore, the

expectation of the use of deferred tax assets should not be considered as the only indicator ofthe future results of the Company.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences between the tax andaccounting bases are recognized taking into consideration the probable realization of these

taxes. The realization of temporary differences will occur on the effective payment of the

related provisions, when the amounts will become deductible in the determination of the taxes.

On September 26, 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a rural propertylocated in the State of Tocantins with the shareholder Dalton Dias Heringer, with the objective

of exploring a cattle-breeding business with up to 1000 head of cattle. This property isrecorded in "Properties held for sale" in the amount of R$ 7,118. The monthly lease payments

will range from R$ 4.00 to R$ 6.00, per head of cattle to be placed on the property, dependingon the age of the animals. At March 31, 2009, the amount of R$ 10 was recorded in other

operating income. The term of the lease is five years and is expected to expire in 2011.Should the Company decide to sell the property during the term of the current lease

agreement, the lessee must leave the property without penalty to the Company.

The accounts receivable arise from the sale of the Company's products in the normal course ofbusiness. Similar third-party transactions are used as the basis for the prices, which take into

account the product volumes and characteristics.

Other accounts receivable from Dalton Dias Heringer basically arise from advances for thepurchase of eucalyptus logs used in the construction process of the industrial units. The prices

contracted are based on those practiced with third parties.

(d) Acquisition of tax credits and their utilization

for offset against taxes due

In February 2003, the Company acquired tax credits arising from federal tax overpayments,which originated from a final and unappealable court decision more than two years earlier, in

an amount defined in the records. A credit assignment agreement was formalized, filed in the

Registry of Titles and Documents, and the substitution of the owner was also requested andapproved by the Federal Court. The decision regarding the substitution was also final and

unappealable.

As from that date, the Company unequivocally owned the tax credit, definitively recognized asbeing its property and with no possibility of questioning by the Government, since the Courts

have already issued final decisions, both as to the amount of the tax overpayment and to the

substitution of the owner.

Offset of tax credits against taxes due

Only after the transfer of the credit and the substitution of the owner, the Company started theoffset of the tax credit against federal taxes payable amounting to R$ 64,554, which was

effected in the period from January to December 2003. Immediately thereafter, and to comply

with the requirement for the offset, the Company requested the cancellation of the executionprocess of the Government's claim, since the offset of the tax credits with related debts of the

same nature already represented the realization of credits that the Company held with theGovernment.

The offset therefore extinguished the tax debt of the Company, pursuant to the provisions of

paragraph 2 of article 74 of Law 9430/96, with wording provided by Law 10637/02, subject to

subsequent ratification. As a result of the above, the extinction of the tax debts becameeffective at the time of offset, which was immediate.

Therefore, still in the year 2003, the use of the tax credits, of which the Company was the sole

owner, was concluded, through the offset and consequent settlement/extinguishment of the taxdebts. As a consequence, the discount obtained on the purchase of the tax credits, in the

amount of R$ 15,300, was considered as realized. The discount was recognized in the result

of that year based on the position of the Company's legal advisors, who considered thechances of success to be probable if questioned by the tax authorities.

Tax Assessment notices issued by the

Federal Revenue Secretariat of Brazil

Later, in April 2005, the Federal Revenue Secretariat of Brazil, based on a supposed legal veto

to the offset made at the time of article 74 of Law 9430/96 and intending to retroactively applyLaw 11051, published on 12/29/2004, filed a tax assessment against the Company, rejecting

the offset realized. Considering the flagrant disrespect of the legal regulations in effect at thetime of the offset, which authorized the Company to effect the offset, and in order to safeguard

the interests of its shareholders, the Company was obliged to contest this assessment,

supported by the opinion of specialized legal advisors.

Furthermore, on October 6, 2006, the Federal Revenue Secretariat of Brazil, also based on a

regulation issued after the time in which the offset was effected, (Law 11051/04), filed a taxassessment notice to impose a fine in the amount of R$ 56,440, corresponding to 75% of the

principal amount of the credits offset. The Company is also defending this assessment at theadministrative level and, in the opinion of its legal advisors, the risk of loss is considered to be

remote.

Process of enforcement of final and

unappealable decision and limitation period

In the event that the final court decision is to deny the offset of the tax credits, even though the

Company's legal advisors still consider the probable outcome to be favorable to the Company,

the Company will again attempt to secure the right to offset its tax credits via its own legalproceedings.

This will be possible because, as the legal advisors sustain, the five-year limitation period forthe execution of the court sentence started on May 8, 1998, when the final unappealable

decision was issued, and was interrupted on July 1 of the same year, when the execution ofthe sentence was initiated.

Furthermore, as already mentioned above, to comply with the requirement for the offset, thecancellation of the execution process of the Government's claim was requested and this

cancellation request was registered and ratified by the competent judge.

As regards the ratification, the execution is currently suspended considering the existence of a

special appeal regarding the decision that denied the possibility of the deduction of the totalamount of the credit due, because the payment of a supposed debit in the amount of R$ 200

was suspended at the time of the offset. Supporting the understanding that the limitation periodhas been interrupted, a federal judge decided, when reviewing the Company's request on this

matter, that there is no doubt regarding the duration of the limitation period, also consideringthat the suspension of the enforcement of the tax credits, as a result of the appeal, occurred

after the decision that ratified the request to desist from the execution process. During the

quarter ended September 30, 2008, the appeal filed by the Federal Government was judged,and the decision confirmed the abovementioned decision of the federal judge, which was

favorable to the Company.

Furthermore, the Company's legal advisors emphasize that, if it is alleged that the limitation

period is in progress, because of the suspension of the enforcement process, it would, in fact,still be considered to have been interrupted considering that both the enforcement process and

the offset are pending final judgment.

Consequently, considering the position of the legal advisors that the likelihood of success inthis matter is probable, if the final decision regarding the compensation is ultimately not

favorable to the Company, it will not affect the Company's right to again seek to recover the taxcredits to which it is entitled via a special judicial order, thereby reinitiating the enforcement

proceedings.

In case the Company reclaims its right to offset the tax credits via a special judicial order,because of the impossibility to offset in the manner described above, the recognition in the

financial statements should be at the acquisition cost plus monetary restatement and interest,in accordance with the criterion established in the court sentence, up to the limit of the market

value, in conformity with the understanding of the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM),through its official letter 379/07 of November 5, 2007, which was issued in response to the

Company's consultation dated October 8, 2007. This is also the understanding of theCompany's independent auditors. At March 31, 2009, the restated acquisition cost was

R$ 83,329.

Current balances of tax credits and of taxes offset

If the tax credit had not been offset against federal taxes, the restated amount, at March 31,

2009, based on the criterion established in the court sentence, would have been R$ 120,185,whereas the debts plus fines and interest would have been R$ R$ 129,458.

The tax credit was the object of a review and calculation by an independent specialist on

November 7, 2007, for the base date of September 30, 2007, when an appraisal report wasissued determining the value of the credit. Since then, the Company has followed the same

calculation methodology adopted by the specialist for the restatement of these credits.

20 Financial Instruments

(a) Identification and valuation of financial instruments

The Company carries out transactions involving several financial instruments, especially cash

and cash equivalents, including financial investments, trade notes receivable, accountspayable to suppliers and loans and financing, including "vendor" and rural credit transactions.

Additionally, the Company carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments,particularly swap transactions.

value is basically determined by using the discounted cash flow method. The amountsrecorded in current assets and liabilities, except for transactions related to the import of raw

materials, are highly liquid or mainly mature within three months. Taking into consideration theterms of these instruments, which are systematically traded, the book values approximate their

fair values.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments,accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable

Board in its responsibilities related to periodic analyses of protection measures against foreignexchange variations and interest rates, based on an analysis of the effects of such variations

The Company limits its exposure to credit risks associated with banks and financial

investments by investing with highly rated financial institutions, within pre-established limits,and contracting derivative instruments only with financially sound counterparties.

In order to meet customer needs for credit sales matched to harvests, the Company utilizesfinancial instruments to assure liquidity. These instruments are guaranteed by the Company

and are recorded in the "trade accounts receivable" account, the carrying values of which donot differ significantly from their market values.

(f) Liquidity risk

This risk represents the possibility of the Company not having sufficient liquid funds to meet its

financial commitments, due to the mismatch of terms or volume in estimated receipts andpayments.

To manage liquidity of cash in local and foreign currency, assumptions for futuredisbursements and receipts are determined, and these are monitored daily by the Treasury

area.

(g) Market risk

Interest rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility that the Company could incur losses due to fluctuations in

interest rates, increasing the financial expenses related to loans and financing obtained in the

market.

Exchange rate risk

This risk refers to the possibility that the Company could incur losses due to fluctuations inexchange rates, which increase the amounts of liabilities in foreign currency.

The assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, financial instruments used to

mitigate the effects of exchange variations and the net exposure to the exchange rate risks canbe summarized as follows:

Because of the significance of raw material imports to the Company's operations, the foreignexchange rate volatility represents a significant operational risk. If the effects of a devaluation

of the Brazilian real are not passed through to customers, significant reductions in gross profitmargins could result and, consequently, affect the Company's results of operations. In a

scenario of raw materials with stable prices in US dollars in the international market, the

Company's inventories permit a natural hedge for its liabilities denominated in foreigncurrency.

As a result, in order to mitigate the exchange rate risk, the Company engages in transactionsinvolving derivative financial instruments, contracted with financial institutions, to reduce its

exposure to market and currency risks. These financial instruments are derivatives thatrepresent commitments for the future purchase and sale of currencies or indices at contractually

agreed dates.

Methodology of calculating fair value of derivatives

Swaps - these are evaluated at the present value, using the market rate on the base date,of future flows, calculated by applying the contractual rates up to the maturity date, basedon the projections of the US dollar verified in the futures contracts registered with theMercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F).

Contracts subject to margin call

At March 31, 2009, the Company did not have contracts with these characteristics.

Sensitivity analysis

The table below presents the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments, includingderivatives, describing risks that may result in material losses for the Company.

The sensitivity analysis presented above considers changes in relation to the determined risk,

maintaining unchanged all the other variables associated with other risks.

The Company's management considered the following assumption for scenario I - probable:

Exchange risk - A US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.22 was considered in accordance with

projections prepared by external advisors based on information from first class financial

institutions and contracts negotiated at the BM&F, which consider the most probable US dollar

exchange rate at the maturities of the transactions.

Instruments with interest rate risk - Maintenance of the rate due to the economic scenario and

cash and cash equivalents offered by financial institutions during the period.

21 Insurance Coverage

The Company does not have insurance coverage for its assets, because it considers that there

is a remote probability of significant loss.

However, pursuant to contractual obligations, the Company has two insurance policies that

provide coverage of the production units of Viana-ES and Paranaguá-PR. These policies cover

damages caused by fire, lightning and explosion (including electrical damage), the maximum

limits for indemnity of which are as follows: (i) for the Viana-ES unit, R$ 4,704 and (ii) for the

Paranaguá unit, R$ 5,830.

22 Employees' Profit Sharing

The Company has a program for the distribution of profit sharing benefits to employees (PLR),

through which it distributes 10% of net income, adjusted for possible accumulated losses from

prior years.

Before the year-end, the Company distributes to its employees, as an advance on the bonus,one monthly salary, irrespective of the generation of net income. In the event net income is

generated, the advance is deducted from the profit sharing contribution due. If there is noprofit sharing distribution, the advance payment is not discounted.

Employees who are hired during the year are granted a proportional participation.

The advance granted as employee profit sharing is treated as an operating cost or expense

and classified in the related financial statement accounts, and the balance provisioned for the

complementary participation of employees in profits or results, net of the advance, is recordedin a specific account in the statement of income for the year.

23 Stock Options Plan

Under the Company's By-laws and according to a plan approved by the Extraordinary General

Meeting, the Company can grant share purchase or subscription options, by a decision of theSupervisory Board, in favor of officers and employees, with no preferential rights to the

shareholders.

At March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any stock option plans in effect. Any new stock

option plan would have to be previously approved at a shareholders' general meeting.

In 1Q09, the net revenue dropped 3.1% to R$640.5 million from R$660.6 million in 1Q08. Thisrevenue decrease was the result of an average sales price increase of 7.1% over 1Q08, offset

by a 11.2% reduction in sales volume.

In 1Q09, gross profit totaled R$43.1 million, down 46.7% from 1Q08, when it totaled R$ 80.9

million, but up from 4Q08, when it was negative by R$ 76.7 million. Gross margin was 6.7%,higher than the margin in 4Q08, when it was negative 8.4%.

In 1Q09, the Company's inventories were kept at adjusted levels, as opposed to the market,

where inventories were still high, causing an excessive offer in the period and impacting thegross margin and EBITDA.

EBITDA was R$11.5 million, representing a margin of 1.8% - lower than the margin of 6.1% in1Q08 but higher than the negative margin of 13.6% in 4Q08.

Net income for 1Q09 was R$4.9 million. Despite the drop in relation to 1Q08, when net incometotaled R$23.1 million, net income for 1Q09 increased from 4Q08, when the company posted a

net loss of R$277.8 million.

In 1Q09, the Company's performance showed a significant recovery in relation to 4Q08.

Working capital

Heringer's working capital reflects the seasonality of our business, which is why thecomparison between equivalent quarters is more appropriate for understanding the workingcapital. The Company seeks to maintain a strict customer credit policy in order to keep days ofaccounts receivable at low levels, thereby reducing the risks of default. As a result, the days ofaccounts receivable in 1Q09 stood at 49, well aligned with 1Q08 when they were 44.

The days of inventory in 1Q09 stood at 55, well aligned with 1Q08 when they were 60.

The days of accounts payable days stood at 214, higher than the 104 days in 1Q08 and the135 days in 4Q08. This increase was due to the new imports to cover the Company's needs in1Q09 with average terms of 180 days, in addition to new import financing operations, the termsof which were between 180 and 240 days.

Purchases from local suppliers increased in the period, and the average terms rangedbetween 90 and 150 days.

Heringer believes it is well positioned to maintain its financing for the purchase of rawmaterials.

We list below the main items that reconcile this cash generation:

Reversal of expenses (income) not affecting cash in the amount of R$203.6 million,

basically arising from unrealized interest and exchange variation on commitments

denominated in US dollars, and reversal of the provision for inventory to realizablevalues.

Net reduction of current asset accounts by R$115.2 million, mainly in inventoriesand taxes and charges recoverable.

Net increase of current liability accounts by R$88.8 million, mainly due to the

increase in accounts payable and Finimp import financing arising from new

purchases in both local and international markets in the amount of R$270.5 million,

which was offset by the payment of R$181.7 million in the same period. The

Company continued its strategy to use the FINIMP import credit mechanism when

the interest rates on this financing proved to be more attractive than the interest

rates built into the prices from international suppliers. The short-term "Loans and

Prospects for 2009

The falling prices of fertilizer raw materials in the international market favors agribusiness in2009, since it generates a better fertilizer/agricultural product exchange ratio. It also

encourages the market as a whole to increase the use of technology to generate greater

productivity per hectare and, as a consequence, higher revenues.

Higher agricultural income resulting from lower production costs, including the cost of

fertilizers, together with the current exchange rate level, also benefits Brazilian agribusiness.

The fundamentals of demand for agricultural commodities continue to be present, even in this

global financial crisis. Global stockpiles of grains are currently at low levels, since consumptionis adjusted to production. The per capita income in emerging countries has grown strongly in

recent years, which together with an increase in the world population, has generated an inertialdemand for food.

The normal historical seasonality of the Brazilian fertilizer market is expected to return in 2009,that is, around 30% of sales in the 1st half of the year and 70% in the 2nd half.

The Company is working with the expectation that the Brazilian fertilizer market will expandslightly compared to 2008, with total deliveries of around 23 million metric tons.

In a longer-term scenario, the fundamentals exist for the price of key agricultural commodities

to increase beyond the current levels, since demand is driven primarily by population growthand higher incomes in emerging nations, which have increased demand for food in general

(grains, meat etc.).

A growth of 1.7% in the Brazilian planted area and 9.7% in the production of grains in Brazil for

the 2009/2010 crop are estimated.
