1.3. New restricting rules on outsourced services

Currently, there is no specific legislation referring to outsourced services in Brazil. The Judiciary Branch has been discussing the issue through Precedent 331 of Labor Superior Court (TST), which authorizes the outsourcing of companies’ “ancillary activity”.

In 2009, the Regional Labor Court (TRT) of Minas Gerais rendered a decision against a wireless operator, forbidding it from outsourcing its contact center and telemarketing activities. Also on this matter, another wireless company filed a complaint at the Federal Supreme Court (STF), evidencing that subsequent law to TST Precedent 331 could not be revoked by it and that outsourcing in telecommunication operations is mentioned by laws in view of specialization and interests, including the national security interest, due to the nature of the activity performed.

In November 2010, the STF Justice who accepted this thesis in injunction deemed as legal the outsourcing of telecommunication operations.

Since there is no specific legislation on outsourced services, as well as labor relations deriving therefrom, and the lawmaker’s need of ratifying the concepts on this issue, the Legislative Branch found reasons to propose four (4) bills on this issue, three (3) of which are in progress at the National Congress and one (1) at the President’s Chief of Staff. New proposals establish restrictions on the outsourcing in several sectors, including contact center, thus, revealing a restricted scenario to the Company’s customers.

Labor court decisions and the enactment of eventual laws setting restrictions on the outsourcing will characterize a stricter scenario within the scope of services currently allowed. In addition, other government measures may affect the positioning of the Company’s current and potential customers, if outsourcing is not an option, thus, causing negative effects on its operations.

1.4. Net working capital

The consolidated financial information related to the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 reflect the effects from the recent acquisitions, with the decrease in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accordingly, increase in current and non-current liabilities in view of the obligations assumed with said acquisitions.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Declaration of compliance

The Company's Quarterly Financial Information - ITR comprises:

• The consolidated financial information prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board – IASB, and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, referred to as Consolidated – IFRS and BR GAAP; and

• The individual financial information of the parent company, prepared pursuant to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, referred to as Parent – BR GAAP.

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil comprise the practices included in the Brazilian Corporate Law, and in the Technical Pronouncements, Guidelines and Interpretations issued by the Brazilian Accounting Standards Board (CPC) and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

In the individual financial information, investments in subsidiaries are recorded using the equity accounting method, pursuant to the Brazilian law. Therefore, these separate financial statements are not considered to be in compliance with the IFRS, which require that such investments be reported at their fair value or cost in the parent company's separate financial statements.

As there is no difference between the consolidated shareholders' equity and the consolidated income attributable to shareholders of the parent company, included in the consolidated financial information prepared pursuant to the IFRS and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, and the shareholders' equity and income of the parent company, included in the separate financial information prepared pursuant to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, the Company has chosen to present the separate and consolidated financial information side by side.

2.2. Basis of preparation

The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, as described below. The historical cost is usually based on the fair value of the consideration paid in exchange for assets.

3. KEY ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTIES IN ESTIMATES

When applying the Group’s accounting policies (Note 2), Management must make judgments and prepare estimates regarding the book value of assets and liabilities that are not easily obtained from other sources.

Estimates and assumptions are continuously revised and are based on the track record experience and other factors, including expectations of future events deemed as reasonable for the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions may differ from actual results. Effects deriving from revisions of the accounting estimates are recognized in the revision period.

Relevant estimates and assumptions for the financial information are listed below:

3.1. Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue on an accrual basis, when services are provided, except for certain performance-based services, which are recognized after measurement and acceptance by the customer. Most contract revenues are calculated based on indicators such as number of workstations, conversation time, and performance goals. Revenue is calculated based on information available in the Information Technology (IT) systems regarding the volume of data services provided to each customer. Revenues from performance-based services are calculated based on data available in the IT systems of the Company and of its customers. Additionally, we usually designate operations managers to revise, reconcile and discuss these indicators with customers. Some revenue adjustments are recorded after these discussions.

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

3.2. Held-to-maturity financial assets

Management has revised the Group’s financial assets in conformity with capital maintenance and liquidity requirements, and confirmed its intention and capacity to hold these assets to maturity. The book value of held-to-maturity financial assets is R$93,692 (R$69,869 on December 31, 2010). Details on these assets are mentioned in Note 31.

3.3. Operating Lease Commitments – Group as a Lessor

The Group has contracted commercial leases for computer equipment and furniture. The Group has determined, based on an assessment of the terms and conditions of the contracts that assumes all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of such assets; therefore, the Company accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

3.4. Impairment of goodwill

To determine if goodwill is impaired, it is necessary to estimate the value in use of the cash-generating unit goodwill was allocated to. The calculation of the value in use requires that Management estimates the future cash flow expected to be derived from the cash-generating unit, and the appropriate discount rate for the present value to be calculated.

The goodwill book value on September 30, 2011 is R$338,075 (R$49,081 on December 31, 2010).

3.4.1 Allocation of goodwill to the cash generating units

For the purposes of impairment test, the goodwill book value was allocated to the following cash generating units, as follows:

i. Tele-assistance services in general

The recoverable value of these cash generating units is based on the calculation of the value in use, employing cash flow projections based on five-(5) year financial budget approved by the Management, discount and growth rates as follows:

Cash generating units	Discount rate	Constant growth rate
Dedic	13.3% p.a.	10.4% p.a. *
Allus Colômbia (“Multienlace”)	11.4% p.a.	9.25% p.a.
Allus Peru (“Stratton Spain”)	12.5% p.a.	16.7% p.a.
Allus Argentina (“Stratton Spain”)	25.2% p.a.	16.6% p.a.

*Dedic’s constant annual growth rate is safe from tne expiration of certain agreements estimated in projections.

The cash flows referring to the tele-assistance services in general cash generating unit were extrapolated at the constant annual growth rates as per chart above. Management believes that any type of eventual reasonable change in key assumptions, in which the recoverable value is based, would not lead the book value to exceed total recoverable value of the respective cash generating unit mentioned above.

ii. IT services in general

The recoverable value of this cash generating unit (“GPTI") is based on the calculation of the value in use, employing cash flow projections based on five-(5) year financial budget approved by the Management and annual discount rate of 13.6%.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

Cash flows referring to the IT services in general cash generating unit were extrapolated at a constant annual growth rate of 10.5%.

Management believes that any type of eventual reasonable change in key assumptions, on which the recoverable value is based, would not result in total book value exceed total recoverable value of this cash generating unit.

iii. Publicity and advertising services

The recoverable value of this cash generating unit is based on the calculation of the value in use, employing cash flow projections based on five-(5) year financial budget approved by the Management and annual discount rate of 16.6%.

Cash flows referring to the publicity and advertising services cash generating unit were extrapolated at a constant annual growth rate of 20%. Management believes that any type of eventual reasonable change in key assumptions, on which the recoverable value is based, would not result in total book value exceed total recoverable value of this cash generating unit.

Specifically in relation to goodwill due to future profitability in Ability equity interest (indefinite life intangible), the Management in August 2011, after completing one (1) year as of the date of its acquisition, carried out the impairment test and concluded that any recording of provision for goodwill impairment would not be necessary. Main assumptions the Company employed in this test are in line with those mentioned above for the “publicity and advertising” cash generating unit and compatible with results reported in the nine-month period ended September 30,2011, as described in Note 26.

3.5. Useful life of property, plant and equipment items

As described in Note 11, the Group revises the estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment items on a yearly basis, at the end of each reporting period.

3.6. Assessment of financial instruments

The Group uses assessment techniques that include information that is not based on observable market data to estimate the fair value of certain types of financial instruments. Note 31 provides further detail on the main assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments, as well as the sensitivity analysis of these assumptions.

3.7. Non-Financial Assets Impairment Loss

An impairment loss occurs when the book 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 calculation of fair value less costs to sell is based on available information on sale transactions for similar assets or market prices less additional costs to dispose of such asset. The calculation of the value in use is based on the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows derive from the budget for the next 5 years and do not include reorganization activities the Group has not committed with yet, or significant future investments that will improve the asset base of the cash-generating unit being tested for impairment. The recoverable value is sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow method, as well as to expected future cash flows to be received, and to the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

3.8. Share-based Payment Transactions

The Group measures the cost of share-settled transactions with executives based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The estimated fair value of share-based payments requires that the most suitable assessment model be determined for the granting of equity instruments, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires that the most appropriate data be determined for the assessment model, including the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield, and the corresponding assumptions. The assumptions and models used to estimate the fair value of share-based payments are reported in Note 32.

3.9. Taxes

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the value and timing of future taxable results. Given the long-term nature and the complexity of existing contracts, differences between the actual results and the assumptions adopted or future changes in such assumptions could require future adjustments to the tax income and expense already recorded. The Group records provisions, based on applicable estimates, for possible consequences of auditing by tax authorities of the respective jurisdictions where it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on several factors, such as prior experiences with fiscal audits and different interpretations of the tax regulations by the taxable entity and by the tax authority in question. Such differences in interpretation may arise for the most diverse matters, depending on the conditions in force in the respective domicile of the Group’s entities.

3.10. Deferred and recoverable income tax and social contribution

The Group records assets related to deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Group expects to generate sufficient taxable profit based on projections and forecasts prepared by Management. Such projections and forecasts include several assumptions regarding the Group’s performance, foreign exchange rates, volume of services, other rates and factors that may differ from current estimates.

Under the current Brazilian tax legislation, tax losses do not expire for utilization. However, cumulative tax losses can only be offset up to 30.0% of the annual taxable profit. For further detail on deferred taxes, please refer to Note 8.

3.11. Measurement at fair value of a contingent consideration

Contingent consideration in a business combination is measured at fair value on the date of acquisition as part of the business combination. If the contingent consideration is classified as a derivative, and, therefore, as a financial liability, it must be subsequently remeasured at fair value on the balance sheet date. The fair value is based on the discounted cash flow and the main assumptions take into account the probability of meeting each goal and the discount factor.

3.12. Provisions for Tax, Civil and Labor Risks

The Company is party in several legal and administrative proceedings, as described in Note 19. Provisions are recorded for all risks referring to the lawsuits that represent probable losses and which can be estimated with a certain degree of safety. The assessment on the probability of loss includes an analysis of available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, the available court precedents, the latest decisions of courts of law and their relevance in the legal system, as well as the opinion of external legal counsels. The Management believes that these provisions for tax, civil and labor risks are appropriately stated in the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR.

3.13. Provisions for payroll and related charges

Payroll and related charges are the most representative costs of the Group’s operations, and are calculated and accrued according to the payroll. Payroll and related charges include salaries, paid vacation, Christmas bonus (13th salary), social charges, profit-sharing plan for employees, and taxes on payroll, most of which is determined by the Brazilian labor law.

The provision for paid vacation considers that each employee has the right to thirty (30)-day paid vacation per year, corresponding to 133.3% of the monthly salary. The Group accrues a monthly provision for paid vacation until the benefit is paid, i.e., when the employees use their vacation. A monthly provision equivalent to one twelfth (1/12) of the monthly salary of each employee is accrued in the 13th salary provision until such benefit is paid. Benefits such as transportation and meal vouchers are recognized as expense on a monthly basis, when provided to employees.

The variable compensation plan paid to employees is based on the achievement of performance, financial and quality goals, and on individual goals of each employee, determined on a yearly basis. This provision is accrued on a monthly basis and recalculated at the end of the reporting period based on the best estimates of the goals met, as provided for in the annual budget. However, the final overall amount is only defined after being analyzed and approved by the Board of Directors.

3.14. Seasonality

The Group does not suffer seasonality in its operations.

To determine the recovery of a receivable, the Company considers any changes to its quality as of the date the credit was granted up to the date the results are disclosed. Credit risk concentration is limited due to the large basis of independent customers. Therefore, the Company believes that provision for additional loss will not be required in addition to that one recorded on September 30, 2011.

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents R$918 in Contax, R$284 in Multienlace S.A. (“Multienlace"), direct subsidiary of Contax Colombia and R$337 in GPTI.

(ii) On May 1 and July 1, 2011, the Company took over Allus Group and Dedic/GPTI, respectively. The amount of goodwill allocated to Allus Group’s customer portfolio and brand and Dedic/GPTI’s customer portfolio and fixed assets, generated a tax debt of R$24,825 and R$24,411, respectively. In addition, during the quarter ended September 30,2011, the income tax liability was reversed, in view of the amortization of balances referring to Allus Group’s customer portfolio and brands acquired on July 1,2011.

19. PROVISIONS (CONSOLIDATED)

19.1. Contingent assets

The Company has not recorded contingent assets.

The Company has six (6) lawsuits involving Sudeste Construções Empreendimentos Ltda.

The subject-matter of these lawsuits aims at retaining the amounts charged by Sudeste due to the failure to provide the services then contracted.

In view of bills unduly protested by Sudeste, three (3) lawsuits for provisional remedy to stay protest were filed, as well as one (1) action for annulment of bills and one (1) indemnity action for property damage and personal injury. Sudeste filed execution proceeding questioning the amounts of action for provisional remedy to stay protest and action for annulment of bill.

19.2. Contingent liabilities

The Group is party to tax, civil and labor lawsuits filed in the normal course of business and have been discussing these issues in the administrative and judicial levels, and where applicable, it is supported by court deposits. The Management, based on its legal counsels’ opinion, understands that the applicable legal measures and procedures that have already been taken in each situation are sufficient to cover possible losses and preserve the Company’s shareholders’ equity, and these are assessed periodically.

Among these lawsuits are included the legalization of certain properties, own or third-party, which the Company deems will not have unfavorable outcomes during the Company’s regular operations.

19.3.1. Tax contingencies

On September 30, 2011, the Company was party to 57 tax claims (52 lawsuits on December 31, 2010), and defendant in 20 lawsuits mainly related to contributions due to the INSS, Service Tax (ISS) and Social Integration Program (PIS)/Contribution for Social Security Financing (COFINS).

On September 30, 2011, the total provisioned for tax claims was R$49,931 (R$30,039 on December 31, 2010). Out of this amount, R$15,615 (R$12,625 on December 31, 2010) refers to PIS/COFINS and R$2,265 (R$2,347 on December 31, 2010) refers to ISS.

19.3.2. Labor contingencies

a) Lawsuits filed in court

As part of its operations, the Group is the defendant in several lawsuits filed by employees’ Unions and the Labor Prosecution Office, therefore creating a reserve to cover these demands, which the Group’s Management understands to be sufficient. On September 30, 2011, the Group was party to approximately 14,438 labor claims (8,796 on December 31, 2010). The total amount estimated for such lawsuits on September 30, 2011 was R$648,282 (R$587,614 on December 31, 2010). The company records provisions for contingent liabilities proportional to historic losses which, on September 30, 2011 amounted to approximately R$80,888 (R$57,500 on December 31, 2010).

(i) The types of risks were established by the Management based on opinion of the Company’s external legal counsels and court precedents.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

The lawsuits mainly refer to: (i) overtime; (ii) equal pay; (iii) permanence in the job; and (iv) injury, physical and psychological suffering. The increased number of labor claims, from 8,796 on December 31, 2010 to 14,438 on September 30, 2011, is directly related to the significant increased number of employees since 2004 and recent merger of Dedic.

b) Administrative proceedings

On September 30, 2011, 298 deficiency notices, under the argument of infringement to labor laws, were pending judgment. The amounts of the deficiency notices depend on the type of violation, the number of employees involved and on whether it was the first time the alleged violation occurred in the Company. Court deposits amounting to approximately R$111 were made this year until September 30, 2011, so that the Company could file for administrative appeals, in accordance with the legal provisions.

The Company has been challenging in full the deficiency notices with the administrative authorities and currently awaits final decisions. In case the administrative proceeding outcome is not favorable, the Company can file a lawsuit requesting the annulment of any and all debt in the administrative proceeding and the reimbursement of fines paid to present funds recorded in a provision for payment purposes.

Considering that the Company, based on the opinion of its external legal counsels, classified as “possible” the risk of losing the deficiency notices, those were not included in the contingencies and the fine amounts were not deposited.

The abovementioned labor violations mainly refer to (i) the non-compliance with the rules that regulate the occupational health and safety; (ii) the lack of intraday intervals and weekly day-offs given to employees; (iii) the non-compliance with the quota for handicapped employees; and (iv) the lack of an Occupational Accident Prevention Commission (CIPA).

According to the Brazilian law, if an entity has over 100 employees, from 2% to 5% of them should be beneficiaries of the social security who were on a labor-related leave or handicapped. Given the Company’s lack of capacity to reach this percentage, in September 2002, the Company entered into a Consent Decree (TAC) with the Labor Prosecutor Office, and the Company had 3 years to comply with substitute obligations (publication of vacant positions in newspapers) After this term, the compliance shall be evidenced whenever required. However, even with the implementation of a program to hire beneficiaries of the social security who were on a labor-related leave or handicapped, the positions available have not been completely filled, but TAC has been duly complied with.

In January 2010, the Regional Labor Superintendence notified the Company based on procedures relating to the social contribution and contributions to the government severance indemnity fund for employees related to employees transport voucher. The notification corresponds to R$29 million. The Company is currently challenging this lawsuit. Based on the opinion of the external legal counsels, the Management understands that the possibility of an unfavorable decision is “possible”.

19.3.3. Civil contingencies

The Company has two (2) lawsuits discussing the renewal of lease agreements (“Actions for Renewal”) for the Passeio sites - RJ, and two (2) lawsuits discussing the rental amounts set forth in the property lease agreement of the Passeio site, in the City of Rio de Janeiro.

In the action for Compulsory Renewal of the lease agreements of Contorno and Paulista sites, the parties reached an agreement. In other related lawsuits, the parties are negotiating.

In addition to the aforementioned civil lawsuits, Contax was punished with a fine from Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos, due to the violation of obligations provided for in the agreement executed between the parties on May 13, 2002 with a 6-year term of effectiveness. Fines applied at the end of the agreement term amounted to R$2,645 million, due to alleged violation of phone calls confidentiality, failure for not transferring toll-free phone calls (0800) and failure for not recording 100% of the phone calls. The fine amount was arbitrarily retained by Brazilian Postal Company of amounts overdue to Contax, as a result of the contact center services agreement. In spite of this fact, Contax believes legal grounds are sufficiently strong to challenge the equity of these fines, then, the Company accrued R$442thousand. Contax filed an action for annulment, ensuring the amount of the claim through a surety insurance policy and obtained an injunction on November 30, 2009 to release the amount retained by the Brazilian Postal Company.

In September 2010, the Brazilian Postal Company deposited R$2,645, on behalf of Contax, in observance to the injunction.

19.5. Contingent liabilities classified as possible losses

On January 22, 2010, Contax was assessed by the Regional Labor and Employment Superintendence (SRTE) of Rio de Janeiro, in the amount of R$29,136. In the assessment notice, which concerns the period from January 2001 to February 2009, the demanded amounts relate to the FGTS (Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees) (Law 8,036/90) and the Social Contribution (Supplementary Law nº 110/01) levied on the cash payments made to Contax’s employees corresponding to the transport voucher fringe benefit. Contax challenged the assessment notice in the administrative level and currently awaits judgment.

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

The Management, based on the opinion of its external legal counsels, considers the likelihood of loss as possible and did not record any provision for eventual unfavorable outcomes.

In addition to the FGTS notification, on September 30, 2011, the Company had tax and civil contingent liabilities, restated based on the SELIC rate, amounting to R$73,323 and R$32,455, respectively (R$44,932 and R$26,473 on December 31, 2010, respectively). These amounts are not provisioned given that Contax filed an appeal and took into consideration the opinion of its external legal counsels, to whom the likelihood of losses is possible or remote.

On July 21, 2011, the Company was notified by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office in the social security level in the amount of R$26,334. Amount effectively due of R$1,957 was identified and analyzed and settled with a 70% discount. This amount was recorded under other operating expenses in the income statement.

Tax deficiency notices still effective comprise the periods from January to December 2007, R$24,377 refer to change in the food payment to employee no longer subject to the Worker Food Program (PAT). Management contested in the administrative level the tax deficiency notices, as it understands that no INSS should be levied on the supply of food “in natura”. Management, based on the opinion of its external legal counsels, assess the probability of loss as possible, therefore, according to the Management’s opinion, the provision for eventual unfavorable court decision is required.

Legal rates applicable to the income tax and social contribution in Brazil were 25% and 9%, respectively, which represented a regulatory composite rate of 34% for 2011 and 2010. For Allus Group companies, regulatory composite rates for income tax are 35% in Argentina, 33% in Colombia and 30% in Peru.

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company paid income tax and social contribution in the approximate amount of R$12,736 (R$8,979 same previous year period)

Neutrality for tax purposes related to the first-time application of Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09

The Company opted for the Transition Tax Regime, enacted by Law 11,941/09, by means of which, the assessments of corporate income tax (IRPJ), social contribution on net income (CSLL), social contribution tax on gross revenue for social integration program (PIS) and social contribution tax on gross revenue for social security financing (COFINS) for the 2-year period 2008-2009 are still determined under the accounting methods and criteria enacted by Law 6,404/76, effective as of December 31, 2007. Therefore, the deferred income tax and social contribution calculated over adjustments deriving from the adoption of new accounting practices of Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09 were recorded in the Company’s financial information and declared said option in the 2009 Corporate Income Tax Return (DIPJ).

29. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

29.1. Contax Argentina’s tele-assistance operation is discontinued

In August 2011, the Company decided to discontinue Contax Argentina’s operational activities, a subsidiary incorporated in September 2010, in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This operation was discontinued as it did not report the growth foreseen and required for a going concern. Positive results were estimated as of July 2011, fact of which did not materialize, without business growth opportunities through the increase of services provided to its main customer and new customers in Buenos Aires.

29.2. Analysis of the discontinued operation’s loss for the period

The discontinued operation’s results included in the income statement are as follows:

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

31.1. Purposes and strategies of risk management and financial instruments

The Company’s policy for financial asset management is to constantly pursue the optimization of its profitability in line with risks by establishing criteria and indicators for adjustments of liquidity, credit and market risk.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

Additionally, the Company manages its capital aiming at ensuring so as to maximize the return to shareholders through debt optimization and equity accounting. The Company’s capital structure comprises debt, which includes the loans and financing detailed in Note 15, cash and cash equivalents detailed in Note 5 and equity capital attributable to controlling shareholders which includes issuance of capital, reserves and retained earnings, as indicated in Notes 21 and 22, respectively.

The Management believes that the Company’s available funds are sufficient to meet its current needs and will be enough to meet its estimated needs regarding capital expenses and other cash needs for the next 12 months.

During the regular course of its operations, the Company is exposed to liquidity, credit and market risks, such as interest rates and foreign exchange variations.

31.1.1. Liquidity and credit risk

The credit risk is the possibility of a party non-complying with an obligation set forth in a financial instrument or agreement with a customer, thus resulting in financial losses. The financial instruments that expose the Company to credit concentration risk mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in major Brazilian financial institutions. The Management believes that its credit policies are reasonable and reflect normal conditions of market and risk. The Company’s Management does not anticipate the failure to comply with agreements by the counterparties and, therefore, does not require collaterals.

i. Financial instruments and cash deposits

The credit risk of balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury according to its internal policies. Excess funds are only invested in approved counterparties and within the limit established to each of them. The counterparty’s credit limit is annually revised by the Company’s Board of Directors and may be restated throughout the year whenever necessary, subject to the approval of the Company’s Financial Committee. These limits are established in order to mitigate risk concentration, thus mitigating financial losses in case of a counterparty files for bankruptcy.

ii. Accounts receivable

Credit risk related to accounts receivable is mainly minimized due to the financial size of the companies to which the Company provides services. Moreover, the Company continuously monitors its receivables, reassessing, whenever necessary, its credit policies with the purpose of mitigating eventual losses. Whenever necessary, the Company records allowance for doubtful accounts for delinquent customers and applies the collection and negotiation procedures of overdue credits.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as probable losses in relation to accounts receivable, which is calculated based on estimates considering the situation of each customer and guarantees granted by them.

On September 30, 2011, the concentration of customers’ credit risk was not relevant since important financial conglomerates accounted for approximately 13% (52% on December 31, 2010) of accounts receivable outstanding.

iii. Financial covenants

As described in Note 15.2.1., the Company has a loan with BNDES containing financial covenants. The Company’s failure to comply with ratio set forth in the loan agreement may result in the early settlement of debt, and accordingly, aggravate the Company's liquidity (Note 1.4).

The table below shows a summary of the Company’s liquidity profile based on its equity structure and commitments on September 30, 2011:

	09/30/2011
	Less than 1 year	1-2 years	2-5 years	More than 5 years
Loans (excluding leasing)	162,180	184,021	215,145	-
Leasing	390	1,136	7	-
Loans payable and other	96,641	-	-	-
	12/31/2010
	Less than 1 year	1-2 years	2-5 years	More than 5 years
Loans (excluding leasing)	64,873	197,255	120,738	-
Leasing	4,277	-	-	-
Loans payable and other	83,160	-	-	-

31.1.2. Market Risk

Risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument changes due to market price fluctuation. Market prices include two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans payable, deposits and financial instruments available measured at fair value through the income statement.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is possibility that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument may change due to fluctuations in the market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in the market interest rates mainly refer to the Company’s long-term liabilities subject to floating interest rates. The Company has not executed derivatives contracts to cover this risk; however it continuously follows up the market interest rates with the purpose of monitoring the eventual need of contracting these instruments.

BNDES loans bear fixed interest rates based on TJLP with purposes of financing the expansion of installed capacity, improvement of current facilities, qualification of human resources, enhancement of service quality and productivity, and investments in marketing initiatives. Once these rates are considered very low, the Company believes that there is no low volatility risk regarding this debt amount.

b) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the possibility that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument changes due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates mainly refers to (i) loan portfolio in foreign currency, (ii) revenues and costs related to the services rendered by foreign subsidiaries and (iii) capital expenditures in the acquisition of IT equipment, despite not being expressed in foreign currency, are indirectly impacted by variations in foreign exchange rates because they contain imported parts.

During the first six months of 2011, approximately 34% of the Company’s capital expenditures include equipment with imported parts (2010 – 24%).

On September 30, 2011, loans and financing in foreign currency amounted to R$59,166 (Note 15).

The Company has not been executing derivative agreements to cover this risk, but has been continuously monitoring foreign exchange variations, in order to observe the eventual need of contracting these instruments.

31.1.3. Risk referring to the performance of acquired entities

Due to the acquisitions made in 2011 and 2010, there are contingent considerations relying on the performance of acquired entities.

a) Ability

Earn-out payment (potential future earnings) relying on the EBTIDA performance every year, during 3 years after entity has been acquired. EBTIDA percentage value cannot be less than 70% of the EBTIDA target set out in the agreement.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

The first earn-out was calculated based on results from September 2010 to August 2011, generating the first consideration of R$5,136, as 75% of the target has been achieved. The first installment was paid on October 5, 2011.

According to Contax’s projections, earn-out shall be payable over the next two periods, and amounts were accrued on September 30, 2011.

b) Allus Group

Allus Group’s purchase agreement provides for the additional price payment based on annual checking for the next 36 months, as of April 2012 referring to EBITDA performance. According to Contax’s projections, earn-out shall be payable, and amounts were accrued on September 30, 2011.

c) Dedic/GPTI

There is no consideration relying on the acquired entity’s performance.

31.2. Classification and valuation of the financial instruments

The Company operates with several financial instruments, especially financial investments, accounts receivable, suppliers, loans and financings and leasing.

Its financial assets must be classified into the following categories: measured by fair value through the income statement (destined for trading), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities. The financial liabilities are classified as measured by fair value or amortized cost.

The classification depends on the purpose to which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at the initial recognition.

On September 30, 2011, the classification of financial instruments per category can be summarized as follows:

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

		09/30/2011
Financial assets:
Accounts receivable		Loans and receivables
Other receivables		Loans and receivables
Restricted cash		Held to maturity
Long-term financial investments		Held to maturity
Financial liabilities:
Suppliers		Amortized cost
Loans and financing		Amortized cost
Leasing obligations		Amortized cost

(i) Loans and receivables

This category includes loans granted and receivables which are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinate payments, not quoted in an active market. These are included as current assets, except for those with maturity exceeding 12 months after the balance sheet date (these are classified as non-current assets). Loans and receivables are accounted by amortized cost, using the real interest rate method.

(ii) Held-to-maturity financial assets

These are basically the financial assets that cannot be classified as loans and receivables, since they are quoted in an active market. In this case, these financial assets are acquired with the intention and financial capacity to be held in portfolio up to maturity. These are measured by acquisition cost, accrued of yields earned with corresponding entry to income for the year. On June 30, 2011, the Company had held-to-maturity financial assets.

(iii) Amortized cost

The amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount by which the financial asset or liability is measured upon initial recognition less capital reimbursements, more or less the cumulative amortization, using the effective interest rate method for any difference between initial amount and the amount on maturity, less any impairment (direct or using the write-down account) as to impairment.

31.3. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of publicly-quoted investments is based on current purchase prices. For financial instruments without active market or public quote, the Company establishes the fair value through valuation techniques. These techniques include the use of recent operations contracted with third parties, reference to other instruments which are substantially similar, the analysis of discounted cash flows and the option pricing models making use of as much information generated by the market as possible and relying very little on information generated by the Company’s Management.

CONTAX PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information – ITR for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2011

(In thousands of reais, except when otherwise indicated)

On the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates if there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is recorded at a value higher than its recoverable value. If there is any evidence concerning the available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss for realization of this financial asset previously recognized in income) is excluded from equity and recognized in the income statement.

30.3.1 Valuation techniques applied and assumptions made for the purposes of fair value measurement

The fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities is presented below:

· The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities that present standard terms and conditions and are traded on active markets is determined based on the prices observed in these markets.

· The fair value of the other assets and liabilities (except those mentioned above) is determined using pricing methods that are generally accepted, based on discounted cash flow analyses.

30.3.2 Fair value measurements recognized in the balance sheet

The financial instruments that are measured at fair value after initial recognition are classified into Levels 1 to 3 according to the observable level of the fair value:

· Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation is based on quoted (non-adjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Financial instruments are considered Level 2 when valuation is based on other variables in addition to the quoted prices included in Level 1, which are directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., based on prices) observable for the asset or liability.

· Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when valuation is based on valuation techniques that include variables for the asset or liability, but that are not based on the observable market data (unobservable data).

The book and fair values of the financial instruments are as follows:

31.4. Sensitivity analysis

31.4.1. Foreign exchange rate variation

For the purposes of sensitivity analysis in transactions exposed to foreign exchange rate variation (basically loans and financing in foreign currency), the Company estimated, based on market expectations published on October 21, 2011 by Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), through Focus Market Report the probable scenarios for the U.S. dollar in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Scenarios I and II were estimated at a deterioration of 25% and 50% respectively, above probable expectation, as follows:

	Consolidated

The recorded values are close to those of the realization or settlement values. Cash surplus is invested, in line with treasury policies, and periodically revalued by the Management.

32. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The purpose of Contax’s stock options is to grant the option to subscribe common, book-entry shares issued by the Company on behalf of the Management and beneficiaries in order to retain them (or maintain them) and encourage them to contribute to the Company. In order to be entitled to the stock option, beneficiaries must remain in service from one to four years (vesting period).

The plans are an onerous business, exclusively civil, and do not have any labor or social security binding nature between the Company and the Grantees, whether they are employees or not.

The members of the Stock Option Plan Committee hold meetings to according to the general guidelines of the Plan decide which managers, employees and service providers will be eligible, the total number of options to be distributed, as well as the acquisition price of each option. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, managers, employees and individuals providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in this plan.

33. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law, shareholders cannot vote on the resolutions of the general meeting: (i) to approve the appraisal report of their own assets for capital formation; (ii) to approve their accounts as the Company’s officer; or (iii) any other resolution that may particularly benefit them, or in which they have interests conflicting with the Company’s. The resolutions made including the vote of a shareholder who has an interest conflicting with the Company's can be annulled, and the respective shareholder may answer for the damage caused and be obliged to transfer to the Company the proceeds possibly earned from that interest.

Brazilian Corporate Law also sets forth that the Board member or Executive officer must not participate in (i) social operation which has an interest conflicting with the Company’s, or (ii) resolution made by the other Board members and Executive officers regarding such conflicting operation. The Board member or Executive officer in conflict must inform his/her conflict of interest to other Board members or Executive officers and address the nature and extension of the interest in the minutes of the Board of Directors’ or Board of Executive Officers’ Meeting. Additionally, the Board members or executive officers may contract operations with the Company under reasonable or equity conditions similar to those prevailing in the market or that the Company would contract with third parties. Any business contracted by such manager is defeasible when there is breach of the rules above, and the interested manager will be obliged to transfer to the Company the proceeds possibly earned from that interest.

Relevant operations with related parties refer to all loans receivable, accounts receivable from any service provided and any other debts with shareholders, subsidiaries or unconsolidated associated companies. Referring to the Company's operations with its direct subsidiaries, these are restricted to equity interests as described in Note 10.

The Company provides a complete set of contact center services to Oi, whose operations include wireline terminals, long-distance services, mobile services, as well as broadband and voice and data services to corporate customers.

Although Oi currently provides most of its telecommunication services to the Company, should it become unable to do so or decide to terminate such Service agreements, the Company’s Management understands that it would be possible to hire another company to provide such services without having major interruption on the Company’s businesses.

As described in Note 15, part of these receivables with Oi were given as collateral to BNDES loan.
