Important Notice

1. Banco ABN AMRO Real S.A. (“ABN AMRO”) has been retained by TIM Celular S.A. (“TIM CELULAR”) to render the financial -economic valuation report (the “Valuations”) of TIM CELULAR, TIM Participações S.A. ("TIMPART", and together with TIM CELULAR, the “Companies”), in connection with the merger of all the shares of TIM CELULAR by TIMPART, pursuant to article 252 and other applicable provisions of Law 6.404/76, as amended, and Resolution nº. 319/99 of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM, as amended (the “Transaction”) .

2. The valuations are intellectual property of ABN AMRO and were prepared by ABN AMRO, exclusively for the use and benefit of TIM CELULAR’s management and only for the purpose of the Transaction. The Valuations may be used, at the discretion of TIM CELULAR’s management, as one of the elements to determine the exchange ratio between the shares of the Companies, to be proposed by TIM CELULAR’s management in connection with the Transaction. The Valuations should not be used by third parties or for any other purpose and shall not be published, disclosed, distributed, reproduced or used for any other purpose without the prior express consent of ABN AMRO, except for the disclosure of the Valuations, in their full text, by TIM CELULAR for the purposes of the Transaction and only in order to meet legal and regulatory applicable requirements, including (i) the disclosure of the Valuations by TIM CELULAR, in their full text and for informative purpose only, to TIMPART’s Board of Directors in connection with the definition of the exchange ratio between the shares of the Companies; and (ii) the full disclosure of the Valuations to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM and the Securities Exchange Commission - SEC (through 6-K form), pursuant to applicable legislation and regulation.

3. ABN AMRO did not make and does not make any recommendation, neither does it explicitly or implicitly express any opinion regarding the definition of the exchange ratio of the shares issued by TIM CELULAR in connection with the Transaction, which will be determined in the Board of Directors Meetings of TIM CELULAR and TIMPART and submitted for the approval of the shareholders of the Companies in Shareholders’ Meetings. Additionally, ABN AMRO did not make and does not make any recommendation regarding the structure of the Transaction, of the specific amount involved, the contractual terms or any other aspects related to the Transaction, nor did it participate in the negotiation of the Transaction.

4. The reference date used for the Valuations is December 31, 2005.

5. The methodology adopted by ABN AMRO for the Valuations was the discounted cash flow, considering (i) the existence of business plans for the Companies, TIM CELULAR’s subsidiary Maxitel S.A. (“Maxitel”), and TIMPART’s subsidiaries, TIM Sul S.A. and TIM Nordeste Telecomunicações S.A., (“TIMPART’s subsidiaries”) for the next 10 years, which were prepared and approved by their respective management and furnished to ABN AMRO by TIM CELULAR; (ii) the possibility of analysis and review of these business plans together with TIM CELULAR’s management; and (iii) limited number of comparable transactions. In accordance with the instructions of TIM CELULAR, its subsidiary BLAH! Sociedade Anônima de Serviços e Comércio was not considered for the purposes of the Valuations, as it will be discontinued. Also as instructed by TIM CELULAR, its subsidiary CRC – Centro de Relacionamento com o Cliente Ltda. was not considered for the purposes of the Valuations, since its revenues, costs and expenses are only incurred in transactions with related companies, which were already included in the analysis.

6. The Companies, Maxitel and TIMPART’s subsidiaries were valued on a stand alone basis ("stand alone") and, therefore, the results of the Valuations do not include operational, tax or any other losses or gains, nor any synergies, which may result from the Transaction, nor costs arising out of or relating to the Transaction.

7. The rendering of financial -economic valuations is a complex process that involves subjective judgments and is not suitable for partial analyses or summarized descriptions. ABN AMRO did not place special emphasis on any specific factors considered in the Valuations, but rather performed a qualitative assessment of the importance and relevance of all factors considered therein. In this context, the Valuations should be considered as a whole and the review of selected portions, summaries or specific aspects of the Valuations, without acknowledging and analyzing the Valuations as a whole, may result in a misleading and incomplete understanding of the analyses and the conclusions of the Valuations.

8. In order to render the Valuations, ABN AMRO relied on information furnished exclusively by TIM CELULAR, available until January 15, 2006, except when otherwise stated. In the Valuations, ABN AMRO relied on (i) the assumptions, estimates and projections prepared and approved by the management of the Companies, Maxitel and TIMPART’s subsidiaries, which were discussed with TIM CELULAR’s management; (ii) public information, including the Companies, Maxitel and TIMPART’s subsidiaries financial statements for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2003 and 2004, audited by Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S.

17. The Valuations do not constitute a judgment, opinion or recommendation to the management of TIM CELULAR, its shareholders, or any third party (including, but not limited to, TIMPART, the management of TIMPART and the shareholders of TIMPART) as to the advisability and opportunity, or the strategic decision of TIM CELULAR and TIMPART to undertake the Transaction, such matters being the sole responsibility of the management of the Companies. The Valuations do not constitute any recommendation to the shareholders of TIM CELULAR or the shareholders of TIMPART as to how such shareholders should vote their shares in connection with the Transaction (including their decision as to whether they should exercise their withdrawal rights, if applicable), nor are intended to support any investment decision.

18. ABN AMRO shall not be bound, at any time to update, review, correct or restate any information contained in the Valuations, nor to provide any additional information related to the Valuations.

19. Other company and industry valuations prepared by ABN AMRO may use market assumptions different from those used in the Valuations, in such a way that the research departments ("research") and any other ABN AMRO department or related company may use in their analysis different reports, publications, estimates, projections and methodology, and such analyses, reports and publications may contain results that differ from those described in the Valuations.

Executive Summary

• The financial projections used to prepare the Valuations were based on (i) assumptions, estimates and projections prepared and approved by the management of the Companies, TIM Sul S.A. ("TIM Sul"), of TIM Nordeste Telecomunicações S.A. ("TIM Nordeste") and Maxitel, and (ii) the financial position of the Companies, TIM Sul, TIM Nordeste and Maxitel on December 31, 2005, according to the Information, as well as public information

• The methodology adopted for the Valuations was the discounted cash flow. We believe that this methodology is appropriate, as it considers the Companies’ operational cash flow discounted by their cost of capital. As such, the risk profile and the potential cash generation of the Companies, TIM Sul, TIM Nordeste and Maxitel are projected in detail

• The base date used for the Valuations is December 31, 2005 and the projected period comprises 2006 to 2015

• For the calculation of the value of TIM CELULAR and TIMPART, we considered their respective projected cash flows, as well as the cash flow of their controlled subsidiaries Maxitel, TIM Sul, and TIM Nordeste, as described in Section 2 - “Valuation Methodology”

• The projected cash flows denominated in nominal R$ were discounted by a nominal rate in R$ between 13.5% and 15.5% . The nominal perpetuity growth rate was estimated between 5.37% and 7.37%

Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF)

Discounted cash flow methodology (DCF)

• The discounted cash flow valuation methodology estimates the value of a company by discounting future cash flows based on the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital). The WACC is determined by the weighted average of the cost of debt and the cost of equity within the optimal capital structure for the company and it is directly related to the risk associated to future cash flows

Weighted Average Capital Cost (WACC)

• The weighted average capital cost is determined by the weighted average of the costs of equity and debt for the company. Those costs are weighted by the respective equity and debt proportion in the company’s capital structure, according to the following formula:


D : Value of company’s total debt

E : Shareholder’s equity

Re : Cost of the equity

Rd : Cost of debt after Income Tax and Social Contribution

• Once the weighted average capital cost has been estimated in US$ in nominal terms and the financial projections have been made in nominal R$, the weighted average cost of capital is converted to nominal R$ based on the expected differential between the U.S. and Brazilian inflation

Glossary

We have included a glossary to help those less familiar with the discounted cash flow valuation methodology to better understand this document. The explanation of each term, therefore, is written in didactical terms, so that they may be easily understood

Average Revenue per User (ARPU): total net revenues from services (excluding roaming), divided by the average number of lines in service during the reference year, expressed in monthly nominal Reais (R$)

Beta: a measure of the market risk / systemic risk / non-diversifiable risk. The Beta factor indicates the sensitivity of the stock price to market portfolio price variations. The Beta factor is calculated trough a linear regression between a series composed of variations on a company’s share price and a series composed of variations on the market portfolio price

Capital Asset Pricing Model – CAPM: the CAPM model is used to determine the Cost of Equity. The model is based on the financial premise of risk and return, so the greater the risk, the greater the return required by the shareholder. In the calculation of the CAPM, the beta, the risk-free rate and the market risk premium factors are taken into account

Capital Expenditures (Capex): investment in fixed assets

Country Risk Premium (Sovereign Risk): the premium paid due to political instability and uncertainty in a given country. A method frequently used to estimate this premium is the spread between the return of the sovereign bonds of the country and the U.S. sovereign bonds

Earnings Before Interests, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA): the operating profit generated by the company, which will effectively generate cash. As a result, only the expenses that produce cash outflows are considered in its calculation

Earnings Before Interests and Taxes (EBIT): the operating profit generated by the company, less depreciation and amortization expenses

Equity Value: value of the shareholder’s equity

Glossary (cont. )

Market Risk Premium: the additional return required by investors as a compensation for a greater element of uncertainty (risk) in investments in shares versus risk-free investments

NPV: net present value

Optimal Capital Structure: in theory there is an optimal proportion of own capital and third-party capital, known as optimal capital structure. Considering the risk and the return of each source of capital, each company has an optimal structure that maximizes the its value

Operating Cash Flow: the operating cash flow considers only revenues and expenses effectively received and disbursed as a result of the company’s operations. As such, the interest income and interest expenses are not considered in this calculation

Risk-free Interest Rate: the interest rate paid for a risk-free asset. In practice, the U.S. Treasury bonds are used as parameters for the risk-free interest rate

Terminal Value: considering that, in theory, a company’s lifetime is infinite and that it is impossible to accurately estimate/forecast the future cash flows beyond a certain period, a portion of the company’s value will be composed of cash flows generated in the years following the last year of the projection period. This estimated portion of the value is known as terminal value. To determine the Terminal Value, the assumptions that the company will reach a state of maturity and will grow at a constant pace are adopted

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC): a measure of a company’s cost of capital. The WACC is determined by the weighted average costs of equity and cost of debt in the company’s intended capital structure and is directly related to the risk associated to future cash flows
