WILSON SONS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIODS
ENDED MARCH 31, 2007, 2006 AND DECEMBER 31, 2006
(In thousands, excepted where mentioned)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Wilson Sons Limited (the 'Group') is a Company incorporated in Bermuda under the
Companies Act 1981. The address of the register office is Clarendon House, 2
Church Street, Hamilton, HM11, Bermuda. The Group is one of the largest
providers of integrated port and maritime logistics and supply chain solutions.
Throughout our 170 years in the Brazilian market, we have developed an extensive
national network and provided a variety of services related to international
trade, particularly in the port and maritime sectors. Our principal activities
are divided into the following segments: operation of port terminals, towage
services, logistics, shipping assistance and support to offshore oil and natural
gas platforms.
These financial statements are presented in US Dollars because that is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made
the following judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognized in the financial statements. The accounting policies were presented
on 26th of April 2007, in the Final Prospect of the Public Offering of Primary
and Secondary Distribution of Representative Certificate of deposit of shares of
Common shares of Action of Wilson Sons Limited.
Convenience translation
The financial statements originally prepared in US Dollars, were also translated
to Reais. For ends of this translation, it has been used the exchange rates
(PTAX), at the closing dates of the consolidated financial statements, published
by the Brazilian Central Bank. In 31 March 2007, 31 December 2006 and 31 March
2006, the applied exchange rates were R$2.0504, R$2.1380 and R$2.1724,
respectively. The difference between the applied exchanges rates, in each one of
the closing dates, generates impacts of translation in the beginning balances of
the movements presented in the financial statements of the subsequent year end.
The effect of this difference was disclosed in movements demonstrated in the
financial statements and respective notes and was called 'Translation adjustment
to Real'. It is important to notice that this translation was carried out with
the only objective to provide to the user of the financial statements a view of
the numbers in the local currency of the country where the Group carries through
its operations.
3. BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS

Finance costs and associated liabilities have been allocated to reporting
segments where interest costs arise from loans used to finance the construction
of fixed assets in that segment.
Investment income arising on bank balances held in Brazilian operating segments,
including foreign exchange on cash, has not been allocated to the business
segment as cash management is performed centrally by the corporate function.
Profit on acquisition of Brasco has been recognized in the Port Terminal Segment
in the first quarter of 2006.
4. PERSONNEL EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)
The expenses with staff of the Group increased 15.5%, from US$18.7 million in
first quarter 2006 to US$21.5 million in first quarter 2007. The reasons of this
increase were: (i) increase in the number of employees, mainly in the segments
of Logistic (New operations) and Port Terminals and (ii) increases relative to
the collective agreements.

Loss on disposal of investment is the write-down in 2006 of the Debtor balance
due from Ocean Wilsons Investments Limited to Wilson Sons Limited. The Debtor
balance arose from funds transferred to Ocean Wilsons Investments Limited in
2004 for inclusion in the Trading investment portfolio of that company.

Despite the increase of 10% in the average balance of first quarter 2007 against
the same period of 2006, the financial gains had a downturn of 9.4%, decreasing
from US$3.5 million in first quarter 2006 to USS3.1 million in the first quarter
2007, as a result of a reduction of 16.9% in the basic tax of interest (CDI) in
first quarter 2006, achieving 12.7% in the first quarter 2007.
The financial expenditures decreased 14.8%, caused by the variation of debt
balance of each period. The debt grew in the first quarter 2007 versus the first
quarter 2006. Nevertheless, this raise had not impacted the financial
expenditures, due to the reduction by of the weighted average interest rate of
the financing and loans 7% and 38%, respectively.

In April 2007, Wilson Sons Limited has issued for a public offering 11,000,000
Brazilian Depositary Receipts, each representing one common share.
The initial offering price was US$11.74 per share (R$23.77 per BDR) and the
estimated gross value generated by the BDRs issued and sold by Wilson Sons
Limited aggregate US$129.1 million (R$261.5 million).
After underwriter's fees, expenses, CBLC costs (Companhia Brasileira de

Company was around US$122.3 million (R$248.8 million).
Accordingly, the estimated IPO cost is US$6.3 million (R$12.7 million).
On April 9, 2007, the Board of Directors of our majority Shareholder approved a
stock option plan (the 'Long-Term Incentive Scheme'), which allows for the grant
of 'phantom options' to eligible employees to be selected by the Board, over the
next five years. The option will provide cash payments, based on (a) the number
of options multiplied by (b) the difference between the Basic Value and the
value on the date of exercising the options. The Basic Price will be determined
on the basis of the three most recent market quotations of our BDRs at Bovespa
(market value), as long as, during the first four weeks after the approval of
the Plan, the Basis Price will be the price of BDR in the offering. The Exercise
Price will be the market price on the exercise date. The plan is regulated by
the Bermuda's laws.
