2016 MANAGEMENT REPORT

1- MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

In 2016, Brazil faced a strong economic and political crisis which, when combined with the adverse scenario on the international market, particularly in the steel sector, required enormous resilience from CSN. We are winning this challenge. To do so, we were able to count on the strength and quality of our team, improved our business strategies, increased exports, reduced costs and gained competitiveness.

Last year was also marked by the consolidation of the transaction to merge CSN’s mining and logistics activities, involving CSN Mineração S.A. (formerly, Congonhas Minérios S.A.) and Nacional Minérios S.A. In 2016, the company traded approximately 37 million tons of iron ore.

In the steel segment, CSN traded 4.9 million tons, selling 43% of this total on the foreign market, through direct exports or through sales made by our offshore subsidiaries. This consolidates the increased share of exports in CSN’s sales, following the trend seen last year.

In the cement sector, CSN showed that it intends to become an important player in the industry. In Arcos (State of Minas Gerais), the largest clinker furnace in Brazil is operating at full steam. We will continue investing in the expansion of production capacity to 5.7 million tons per year.

Another milestone in the year was the receipt of the “Pro-Ética” Seal issued by the Ministry of Transparency, Surveillance and Comptroller General of Brazil. The seal vouches for our concern for ethics, and our respect for best compliance practices. CSN is doing its bit to construct a more ethical business environment and collaborating towards a better society.

The year 2017 has brought challenges and will continue to do so. However, CSN sees these challenges as opportunities for improvement in our productive and management processes. We continue to believe in our work and in Brazil's recovery.

2- THE COMPANY

With interests in steel, mining, cement, logistics and energy, CSN operates throughout the entire steel production chain, from the mining of iron ore to the production and sale of a diversified range of high value-added steel products. Thanks to this integrated production system and exemplary management, CSN’s production costs are among the lowest in the sector where it operates.

CSN has an installed capacity of 5.9 million tons of crude steel, reaching 4.9 million tons sold in 2016, 57% of which in the domestic market and 43% in exports and sales by our overseas subsidiaries.

In 2016, CSN produced and sold approximately 3.1 million tons of cement from two production units located in Volta Redonda (RJ) and Arcos (MG).

CSN is one of the largest industrial electricity consumers in Brazil, holding electricity generation assets through interest in consortiums of hydropower plants. It also generates energy integrated to its production process, thereby ensuring its energy self-sufficiency.

3- OUTLOOK, STRATEGY and INVESTMENTS

CSN has been investing in its five operational segments to enhance its units’ competitive advantages and review the Company’s business portfolio and projects to maximize the return to the shareholders.

3.1- STEEL

The Presidente Vargas Steelworks in Volta Redonda is CSN’s most important steel production unit, with an installed crude steel production capacity of 5.9 million tons per year. In addition to its units in Brazil, CSN has three subsidiaries abroad: CSN LLC, in the State of Indiana, U.S.A., Lusosider, in Portugal, and SWT - Stahlwerk Thuringen, in Germany. In 2016, the main strategies of the steel units included: i) maximizing the use and sale of coated products; ii) the reduction of finished product inventory; and iii) cost reduction and increase in energy efficiency.

3.2- MINING

CSN Mineração is Brazil’s second largest iron ore exporter in terms of sales of iron ore. In 2016, it sold approximately 37 million tons of iron ore, of which 4.1 million tons went to the Presidente Vargas Steelworks. In turn, Tecar, a port terminal operated by CSN Mineração and located in Itaguaí Port, shipped approximately 32 million tons of iron ore in 2016.

3.3- CEMENT

The Company has continued to invest in expanding its production capacity to 5.7 million tons per year. In Arcos (MG), two new crushing facilities were delivered in 2015, and in 2016, the new clinker furnace was installed, increasing annual capacity by 2.3 million tons of cement. Currently, CSN is self-sufficient in the production of clinker and cement, being one of the most competitive players in the regions where it operates.

3.4 – LOGISTICS

Ports

Tecon, a port managed by Sepetiba Tecon, a subsidary of CSN, is the largest terminal in terms of container turnover in Rio de Janeiro and one of the largest in its segment in Brazil. In order to expand the terminal, the Company has been investing in infrastructure, including the acquisition of new equipment, as well as the equalization of Berth 301, which was transformed into a continuous quay, enabling the handling of several large vessels simultaneously, thereby raising capacity to more than 600,000 TEUs per year. The Company continues to expand its commercial lines through new services. Its portfolio includes long-haul, direct connection lines to Asia and the Gulf of Mexico, in addition to coastal navigation, reaching the Mercosur and Brazil’s coast.

MRS

CSN holds, directly and indirectly, a 34.94% interest in MRS Logística, which operates the former Southeastern Network of the Federal Railways (RFFSA), in the Rio de Janeiro - São Paulo - Belo Horizonte corridor.

It also transports all the iron ore for export, as well as some of CSN’s steel and cement output.

Transnordestina Logística S.A. (TLSA)

TLSA is the concession holder for the construction of Nova Transnordestina, a 1,753 km railway connecting the rail terminal in Eliseu Martins (PI) to the Ports of Suape (PE) and Pecém (CE), crossing several cities in the states of Piauí, Pernambuco and Ceará. The railway’s projected annual operating capacity of 30 million tons will play a crucial role in the development of the Northeast region, providing logistical support for the oil and by-product, agriculture and mining sectors, among others.

FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (FTL)

FTL operates the former Northeastern network of the RFFSA, traversing seven states: Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, with a total extension of 4,534 km and a current operating capacity of around two million tons per year, with emphasis to fuel cargo, cement and pulp, among others. Currently, FTL’s operational railway network connects the states of Maranhão, Piauí and Ceará through its 1,191 kilometers. The traffic on the remaining rail stretches has been suspended. Said stretches are under negotiations to return to the ANTT and DNIT.

5- CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Restatement of the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015

At the end of 2016, the Company decided to review the accounting treatment given to the transaction it conducted on November 30, 2015 and concluded on December 31, 2015, which resulted in the business combination of the related logistics and mining segments involving its subsidiary CSN Mineração S.A (former Congonhas Minérios S.A.) and Nacional Minérios S.A. (NAMISA), with no changes in its business structure, which led significant adjustments and, consequently, the need to restate the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. It is worth noting that said financial statements, in turn, had already been voluntarily restated on November 14, 2016 due to changes in interpretation for the application of the Technical Pronouncement CPC 15/ IFRS 3 – Business Combinations identified in discussions that the Company had with its independent auditors on the accounting procedure for the presentation of the item of non-controlling interest of CSN Mineração S.A. in the consolidated financial statements. Due to the restatement of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the revalidation process had to be extended and the procedures expanded in view of the auditing standards to which the Company is subject, extensions applicable to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 which, in the end, prevented the reissue and issue of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Investor Relations

CSN continues to expand its communication channels, aiming to increase the Company’s transparency and exposure through new coverage by financial institutions and participation in events and conferences.

Capital Stock

CSN’s capital stock is divided into 1,387,524,047 book-entry common shares with no par value, each common share having the right of one vote at the Company’s Shareholders’ Meetings.

In 2015, the company created the INOVA CSN unit, whose purpose is to enable innovation projects related to products, processes, energy efficiency and the environment in the Company’s business units. INOVA CSN connects the company to the technological and scientific development environment, in Brazil and abroad, in the pursuit of innovations that add value to the Company, its clients and the communities in which we operate. One of the highlights of the Strategic Innovation Plan in force is the Product Innovation project with industrial-scale development of Advanced High-Strength Steels used in the automobile industry.

CSN manages intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents, and industrial designs, ensuring adequate protection for the Company and encouraging sales, through contracts for the technological transfer of know-how resulting from its own innovation developments.

7- PEOPLE

CSN’s People Management model is based on the conviction that human capital is our competitive advantage and the best way to ensure our performance in the market where we operate.

CSN’s integrated and efficient people management is based on five pillars: Attract; Align and Engage; Evaluate; Develop; Recognize and Reward –, investing in projects aimed at professional development and improvement, thereby contributing to the growth of the organization and its people.

To maintain a high-performing and qualified team, each year, we improve our programs to attract, develop and retain talent at different levels. These programs are in line with our strategic guidelines. In 2016, we invested 345,482 thousand hours in training, with the goal of generating knowledge and developing the skills necessary to achieve corporate goals.

The year of 2016 was marked by the update of our new Performance Evaluation model, which is now named “SuperAÇÃO.” The program assesses the performance (measured through the monitoring of targets) and competences (which are behaviors rooted in CSN’s Essence: doing more, doing better, doing always). We take into account the following competencies: Delivery, Leadership (for Managers only), Teamwork, Communication, Passion, Innovation, Initiative, Optimization, Learning, Change, Sustainability and Future. The behavioral evaluation is structured in three stages (self-assessment, manager’s assessment and a consensus meeting).

SuperAÇÃO results are part of our PPR indices, which seek to continuously leverage our results and encourage meritocracy, in addition to supporting corporate development actions.

Where Leadership is concerned, we wish to highlight the performance of the Key Player Leadership module, whose purpose is to develop a change in attitude in the face of daily challenges, and expand people’s view of playing a leading role, even in situations lacking flexibility and/or resources, focusing on common business objectives. This module applied an innovative method that allowed a greater adherence by the participating managers.

Another highlight in 2016 were the actions to develop the employees identified as potential successors, through the Career and Succession program. Through this practice, we identify and evaluate potential successors, continuously bringing forward new leaders in line with the organization’s culture and strategies, with the aim of the sustainability and growth of CSN group’s business.

CSN closed 2016 with around 23,000 direct employees and 12,000 indirect employees and a turnover rate of around 13%, one of the lowest in the industrial sector.

8 - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

CSN’s social responsibility projects are created to value the potential of each region where it operates and their respective communities, in partnership with the local government and society. From 2006 to 2016, the amount invested by CSN surpassed R$167 million. In 2016 alone, investments amounted to R$11.9 million in the educational, cultural, sporting and health areas through CSN Foundation initiatives and through projects developed by partner institutions, supported by tax incentives.

The CSN Foundation’s cultural and educational initiatives are present in the “Garoto Cidadão” project, which provides social and cultural activities for 1,500 socially vulnerable children and teenagers in the communities where the company operates. In 2016, in order to foster education and contribute to the construction of equal opportunities, the CSN Foundation innovated with its international scholarship program called “Ganhar o Mundo,” in which 781 people were enrolled to compete for 30 scholarships. The “Histórias que Ficam” program, a N Foundation initiative that provides consulting services, and stimulates and promotes Brazilian documentary films, conducted a public debate about film editing and offered consulting services for the four films selected, which are now being produced. The program was also a partner in DocSP, an event sponsored by CSN to promote distribution labs with renowned professionals of the audiovisual sector.

9 - SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

CSN maintains various social, environmental and sustainability management instruments in order to act in a purposeful way and meet the needs of the various stakeholders involved in the communities and businesses where it operates. The Company's sustainability practices have as main objectives the creation of sustainable values and the management of environmental risks; the optimization and efficiency in the use of natural resources and the control of potential impacts.

The companies that received the ISO 14001 Certification are: Casa de Pedra (Congonhas, MG), Presidente Vargas Steelworks (Volta Redonda/ RJ), Porto Real Branch (Porto Real/RJ), Bocaina Mine (Arcos, MG), Paraná Branch (Araucária/PR), TECON (Sepetiba/RJ), Prada distribution unit (Mogi das Cruzes/ SP). All other units are currently in the process of implementing the SGA, and they have been following a corporate program in order to progressively advance based on ISO 14001 Certification guidelines.

SGA development is under the responsibility of the Internal Environmental Management Committee (CIGA), which includes professionals of the environmental and operating areas of the units. This group meets on a monthly basis to ensure continuous improvement of the SGA being implemented, and to detect and prevent possible environmental impacts.

With the potential risk of scarce water resources, mainly in the Southeast, CSN has been continuing several actions to increase the efficiency of water use in its production processes, with emphasis on the water reuse index of over 92% in Presidente Vargas Steelworks (UPV). The Company prepared the Water Inventory in the following units: UPV (RJ), CSN Cimentos (RJ), Namisa and Casa de Pedra (MG), TECAR and TECON (RJ), enabling plans and measures to be efficiency and reduction of potential impacts.

Since 2010, CSN has been undertaking an inventory of its greenhouse gas emissions in line with GHG Protocol guidelines, in order to provide input for managing carbon, mitigating risks and adapting to climate change. In response to requests from investors, the Company reports on a yearly basis, to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the guidelines it follows regarding climate change, supply chain and water resources.

The Company has also adopted other sustainability strategies. Since 2012, CSN has participated in the Climate Forum promoted by the Ethos Social Responsibility Institute. In 2015, the Company joined the “Open Letter to Brazil on Climate Change” initiative, according to which the Brazilian government would assume a leading role during the 21st United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or COP-21.

In 2015, the company was an early mover by participating in the first ABNT Carbon Footprint certification program, receiving the seal for its Hot Rolled Coil products and mapping out all emissions from its production chain. This certification gives our product greater transparency regarding process quality, risk management and climate change- related opportunities.

(Expressed in thousands of reais – R$, unless otherwise stated)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional “CSN”, also referred to as the Company or Parent Company, is a publicly-held company incorporated on April 9, 1941, under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, its subsidiaries, joint ventures, joint operations and associates are collectively referred to herein as the "Group”). The Company’s registered office is located in São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

CSN is listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&F BOVESPA) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Accordingly, the Company reports its information to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Group's main operating activities are divided into five (5) operating segments as follows:

· Steel:

The Company’s main industrial facility is the Presidente Vargas steelworks (“UPV”), located in the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro. This segment consolidates production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers and galvanized steel. In addition to the facilities in Brazil, CSN has operations in the United States, Portugal and Germany, all of them are in line with the plan to achieve new markets and perform excellent services for final consumers. Its steel has been used in home appliances, civil construction and automobile industries.

· Mining:

The production of iron ore is developed in the city of Congonhas, State of Minas Gerais.

Iron ore is sold basically in the international market, especially in Europe and Asia. The prices charged in these markets are historically cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations over short periods of time, driven by several factors related to global demand, strategies adopted by the major steel producers, and the foreign exchange rate. All these factors are beyond the Company’s control. The ore transportation is accomplished by Terminal de Carvão e Minérios do Porto de Itaguai - TECAR, a solid bulk terminal, one of the four terminals that compose the Port of Itaguai, located in Rio de Janeiro. Imports of coal and coke are held through this terminal and directed to the steel industry of CSN.

On November 30, 2015 the Company has transferred to its subsidiary CSN Mineração S.A. (previous Congonhas Minérios S.A.) the mining assets, the logistical infrastructure, including the mine Casa de Pedra, the right to operate the terminal TECAR, S.A. and equity interest in MRS Logística S.A. ("MRS"). On the same date, the business combination of Nacional Minérios S.A (“Namisa”), result in participation of Asian Consortion of 12.48% stake in CSN Mineração S. A.

The Company´s mining activities also comprises tin exploitation, which is based in the State of Rondônia, this facility is engaged to supply the needs of UPV, with the excess of raw materials being sold to subsidiaries and third parties.

· Cement:

CSN entered in the cement market boosted by the synergy between this new activity and its existing businesses. Next to the Presidente Vargas Steelworks (UPV) in Volta Redonda (RJ) is installed the new business unit CSN Cimentos, which produces CP-III type of cement by using slag produced by the UPV blast furnaces in Volta Redonda. It also explores limestone and dolomite at the Arcos unit, located in the State of Minas Gerais, to satisfy the needs of UPV as of the cement plant.

Version: 1

In the second half of 2016, the Company started the operation of a new clinker kiln in Arcos, where the company already operates a clinker kiln using its limestone of a company-owned mine and two cement mills. With this project, the cement production capacity in the Southeast will reach 4.4 million tons per year. At a later stage the Company evaluates the deployment of an advanced milling unit, adding another 1 million tons.

· Logistics

Railroads:

CSN has interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística S.A., which explores the former Southeast Railway System of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A (“RFFSA”)., Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“TLSA”) and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“FTL”), concessionaires of the former Northeast Railway System of RFFSA, in the States of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas, with TLSA being responsible for the rail links of Missão Velha-Salgueiro, Salgueiro-Trindade, Trindade-Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro-Porto de Suape and Missão Velha-Porto de Pecém (Railway System II) and FTL being responsible for the rail links of São Luiz-Mucuripe, Arrojado-Recife, Itabaiana-Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante-Macau and Propriá-Jorge Lins (Railway System I).

Ports:

In the State of Rio de Janeiro, by means of its subsidiaries Sepetiba Tecon S.A. and CSN Mineração, the Company operates the Container Terminal (Tecon) and the solid bulk terminal (Tecar), respectively, both located at the Itaguaí Port. Established in the harbor of Sepetiba, the mentioned port has a privileged highway, railroad and maritime access.

Tecon is responsible for the shipments of CSN´s steel products, movement and storage of containers, consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo; The Tecar´s port terminal is engaged to the iron ore shipment overseas and to the landing of coal, petroleum, coke, sulfur and zinc concentrate for our own operation and for third parties.

· Energy:

Since the energy supply is fundamental in CSN´s production process, the Company owns and operates facilities to generate electric power for guaranteeing its self-sufficiency.

The note 27 - “Segment Information” details the financial information per each of CSN´s business segment.

· Going Concern

On December 31, 2016, the Company has borrowings amounting to R$30.5 billion, of which R$28.3 billion have maturities in the long term, as mentioned in note 13 to the financial statements. Until the 3rd quarter of 2017, the Company amortized principal and interest the amount of R$2.9 billion, and for the 4th quarter of 2017 it expects to amortize principal and interest in the amount of R$1.1 billion. During 2018 the borrowings are expected to be repaid and, including interest to be incurred next year, amount to approximately R$7.7billion.

The financial leverage may adversely affect the businesses, financial conditions and operating results. Which can entail the following considerations:

· Allocation of a substantial part of the cash generated from operations for repayment of the borrowings.

· Exposure (i) to fluctuations in interest rates due to the renegotiation of debts and new borrowings taken, and fluctuations in exchange rates since a significant part of the borrowings is denominated in foreign currency.

· Increase in the economic and financial vulnerability due to adverse conditions of the industry and segment, limiting the funds available in the short term, considering the high financial leverage and the expected cash disbursements;

· Limitation of the Company’s ability to enter into new businesses (acquisitions) until the financial leverage is reduced;

· Limitation of the Company’s ability to obtain new credit lines under more favorable interest conditions due to the risks associated to the current financial leverage.

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

The Company reported accounting losses in recent periods (R$0.9 billion in 2016), mainly due to the financial leverage since the cost of debt (R$3.3 billion in 2016) is currently higher than the pre-tax operating income (R$ 1.0 billion in 2016). The Company’s ability to continue operating depends, therefore, on the achievement of operating targets defined by Management, in addition to refinancing of contracted debts, and/or actions related to financial deleveraging.

In addition to the continuous focus on improvement in operating income, which showed an evolution in 2016 when compared to the previous year, Management has various actions in progress to increase the Company’s liquidity through an extension of borrowing payment terms.

This plan was started in 2015, with the renegotiation of R$ 2.5 billion with Caixa Econômica Federal and R$ 2.2 billion with Banco do Brasil S.A, postponing the maturities from 2016 and 2017 to 2018 through 2022. In 2016, the Company extended the installments of certain NCE contracts amounting to R$ 100 million and prepayments of US$ 66 million with Bradesco, postponing the maturities from 2016 to 2019. For 2017, Management remains committed to the plan to extend it debt payment term, mainly those of short term, estimating the renegotiation of borrowings at R$ 1.5 billion.

Additionally, Management studies alternatives to financial deleverage from the disposal of non-strategic assets; however, it is not possible to affirm that the sale of assets will occur within a 12-month period. Thus, the Company did not segregate and did not reclassify any assets in the financial statements as discontinued operations in accordance with CPC 31 (IFRS 5).

Based on Management’s cash flow projections that covered the period until December 2018 as of the date of these financial statements, which depend on factors such as the achievement of production targets, sales volumes and prices, as well as on renegotiations of borrowings, Management believes that the Company has appropriate resources to continue as a going concern in a reasonably estimable period of time. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company eliminates the effect on profit or loss of transactions carried out with joint ventures and, as a result, reclassifies part of the equity in results of joint ventures to financial costs, cost of sales and income tax and social contribution.

The base date to the financial statements of the subsidiaries and joint ventures is the same as of the Company, and their accounting policies are also in line with the policies adopted by the CSN.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) which financial and operating policies can be conducted by the Company and when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are actually exercisable or convertible are taken into consideration when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date when the control is transferred to the Company and are deconsolidated from the date when such control ceases.

Joint ventures and joint operations

Joint arrangements are all entities over which the Company has joint control with one or more other parties. The investments in joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor.

Joint operations are accounted for in the financial statements in order to represent the Company's contractual rights and obligations. Therefore, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to its interests in joint operations are accounted for individually in the financial statements.

Joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method and are not consolidated.

The Company eliminates the effect on profit or loss of transactions carried out with joint ventures and, as a result, eliminates part of the equity in results of joint ventures to financial costs, cost of sales, net sales and income tax and social contribution.

Version: 1

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control, generally through a shareholding percentage from 20% up to 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

· Transactions and non-controlling interests

The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with owners of the Company. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of subsidiary net assets is recorded in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recognized directly in shareholders' equity.

When the Company no longer holds control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest in an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Company had disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

2.c) Parent company financial statements

In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for by the equity method. To get the same result and equity attributable to equity holders in parent company and consolidated financial statements, are made in both financial statements, the same practice of adjustments upon adoption of IFRS and CPCs.

2.d) Foreign currencies

i. Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are related to each one of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.

ii. Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions or valuations when their values are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from the translation at exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2016 related to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when they are recognized in shareholders' equity as a result of foreign operation characterized as foreign investment.

The balances of assets and liabilities are translated by exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2016, US$1 is equal to R$3.2591 (R$3.9048 at December 31, 2015) and €1 is equal to R$3.4384 (R$4.2504 at December 31, 2015), according to the rates obtained from Central Bank of Brazil website.

All other foreign exchange gains and losses, including foreign exchange gains and losses related to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents, are presented in the income statement as finance income or costs.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency, classified as available-for-sale, are segregated into exchange differences related to the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Exchange differences related to amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in the carrying amount are recognized in shareholders' equity.

Page 36

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Exchange differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on the fair value. Exchange differences on investments classified as available-for-sale are included in comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

iii. Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group’s entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

· The assets and liabilities of each balance sheet presented are translated by exchange rate at the end of the reporting period;

· The income and expenses of each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates at the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate in effect at the transaction dates);

· All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component in other comprehensive income; and

· Gains and losses accumulated in shareholders' equity are included in the income statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed or sold.

On consolidation, exchange differences resulting from the translation of monetary items with characteristics of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in shareholders' equity. When a foreign operation is partly disposed of or sold, exchange differences previously recorded into other comprehensive income are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

2.e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in bank accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments redeemable within 90 days from the end of the reporting period, readily convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank certificates of deposit and government securities that do not meet the above criteria are not considered cash equivalents and are classified as financial investments, according to note 6.

2.f) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value, including the related taxes and expenses. Foreign currency-denominated trade receivables are adjusted at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. The allowance for estimated losses on doubtful debts were recognized in an amount considered sufficient to cover any losses. Management’s assessment takes into consideration the customer’s history and financial position, as well as the opinion of their legal counsel regarding the collection of these receivables for recognizing the allowance for estimated losses.

2.g) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method on the acquisition of raw materials. The costs of finished goods and work in process comprise raw materials, labor and other direct costs (based on the normal production capacity). Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The allowance for estimated losses on slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recognized when considered necessary.

Stockpiled ore inventories are accounted for as processed when removed from the mine. The cost of finished goods comprises all direct costs necessary to transform stockpiled inventories into finished goods.

Version: 1

2.h) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss as operating income (or expenses). In the case of foreign exchange differences arising on translating foreign investments that have a functional currency different from the Company’s, changes in investments due exclusively to foreign exchange differences, as well as adjustments to pension plans and available-for-sale investments that impact the subsidiaries’ shareholders' equity, are recognized in line item “Cumulative translation adjustments”, in the Company’s shareholders' equity, and are only recognized in profit or loss when the investment is disposed or written off due to impairment loss. Other investments are recognized at cost or fair value.

When necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

2.i) Business combination

The acquisition method is used to account for on each business combination conducted by the Company. The payment obligation transferred by acquiring an entity is measured by the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, where applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss for the year, as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date.

2.j) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost of acquisition, formation or construction, less accumulated depreciation or depletion and any impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method based on the remaining economic useful economic lives of assets, as mentioned in note 11. The depletion of mines is calculated based on the quantity of ore mined. Land is not depreciated since their useful life is considered indefinite. However, if the tangible assets are mine-specific, that is, used in the mining activity, they are depreciated over the shorter between the normal useful lives of such assets and the useful life of the mine. The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacement, and consequently reducing the carrying amount of the part that is replaced if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied therein will revert to the Company, and if the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. All other disbursements are expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs related to funds obtained for construction in progress are capitalized until these projects are completed.

If some components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, these components are accounted for in separate line items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the sale value less the residual value and are recognized in ‘Other operating income (expenses)’.

Exploration expenditures are recognized as expenses until the viability of mining activities is established; after this period the subsequent development costs are capitalized. Exploration and valuation expenditures include:

· Research and analysis of historical data related to area exploration;

· Topographic, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies;

· Determine the mineral asset’s volume and quality/grade;

· Examine and test the extraction processes and methods;

· Topographic surveys of transportation and infrastructure needs;

· Market and financial studies;

The development costs from new mineral deposits or from capacity expansion in mine operations are capitalized and amortized using the produced (extracted) units method based on the probable and proven

ore quantities.

Page 38

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

The development stage includes:

· Drillings to define the ore body;

· Access and draining plans;

· Advance removal of overburden (top soil and waste material removed prior to initial mining of the ore body) and waste material (non-economic material that is intermingled with the ore body).

Stripping costs (the costs associated with the removal of overburden and other waste materials) incurred during the development of a mine, before production commences, they are capitalized as part of the depreciable cost of developing the property. Such costs are subsequently amortized over the useful life of the mine based on proven and probable reserves.

Stripping costs in the production phase are included in the cost of the inventory produced, except when a specific extraction campaign is made to access deeper deposits of than where ore body is located. In these cases, costs are capitalized and taken to noncurrent assets when the mineral ore deposit is extracted and are amortized over the useful life of the ore body.

The Company holds spare parts that will be used to replace parts of property, plant and equipment and that used to increase the asset’s useful life when it exceeds 12 months. These spare parts are classified in property, plant and equipment and not in inventories.

2.k) Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise assets acquired from third parties, including through business combinations.

These assets are recognized at cost of acquisition or formation, less amortization calculated on a straight-line basis on the exploration or recovery periods estimated.

Mineral rights acquired are classified in line item ‘’other assets’’ in intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill based on expected future profitability are not amortized.

· Goodwill

Goodwill represents the positive difference between the amount paid and/or payable for the acquisition of a business and the net fair values of the acquiree´s assets and liabilities. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is recognized as intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. In the parent company statements, goodwill is included in investments. The gain on purchase is recognized as a gain in profit for the period at the acquisition date. Goodwill is annually tested for impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the CGU sold.

Goodwill is allocated to CGUs for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made to CGUs of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose, and recalling that unit is not greater than the operating segment.

· Software

Software licenses purchased are capitalized based on the costs incurred to purchase the software and make it ready for use. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives from one to five years.

2.l) Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets with infinite useful lives, such as goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are annually tested for impairment. Assets subject to amortization and/or depreciation, such as property, plant and equipment, are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized by the exciding value of an asset´s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and its value in use. For impairment testing purposes, assets are grouped at their lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (Cash Generating Units, or CGUs). Non-financial assets, except for goodwill, are subsequently reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the reporting date.

2.m) Employee benefits

i. Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is as a post-employment benefit plan whereby an entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity (pension fund) and will not have any legal or constructive obligation to pay additional amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the periods during which services are provided by employees. Contributions paid in advance are recognized for an asset since it is agreed that either cash reimbursement or future reduction on payables will flow back to CSN. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that is expected to mature twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employee provides services are discounted to their present values.

Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation regarding defined pension benefit plans is calculated individually for each plan by estimating the value of the future benefit that the employees accrue as return for services provided in the current period and in prior periods; such benefit is discounted to its present value. The discount rate is the yield presented at the end of the reporting period for top line debt securities whose maturity dates approximate the terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations and which are denominated in the same currency as the one in which it is expected that the benefits will be paid. The calculation is made annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit for the Company, the asset to be recognized is limited to the total amount of any unrecognized costs of past services and the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of future plan reimbursements or reduction in future contributions to the plan. The present value of economic benefits is calculated taking into account the funding requirements applicable to the Company’s plans. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan or upon settlement of the plan’s liabilities.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries offered a postretirement healthcare benefit to its employees. The right to these benefits is usually contingent to their remaining in employment until the retirement age and the completion of the minimum length of service. The expected costs of these benefits are accumulated during the employment period, and are calculated using the same accounting method used for defined benefit pension plans. These obligations are annually valued by qualified independent actuaries.

When the benefits of a plan are increased, the portion of the increased benefit related to past services of employees is recognized in profit or loss until the benefits become vested. Whenbenefits became vesting rights, all actuarial gains or losses are immediately recognized in profit or loss.

The Company recognizes all actuarial gains or losses resulting from defined benefit plans immediately in other comprehensive income. If the plan is extinguished, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.

ii. Profit sharing and bonus

Employee profit sharing and executives’ variable compensation are linked to the achievement of operating and financial targets. The Company recognizes a liability and an expense substantially allocated to production cost and, where applicable, to general and administrative expenses when such goals are met.

2.n) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and it has reliable cost estimation.

Page 40

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

The amount recognized as a provision is the best value estimation required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). Success fees are accrued to the extent that they make it probable that disbursements will occur . When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is probable that reimbursement will be received and that the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

2.o) Concessions

The Company has governmental concessions to provide the following types of services: railway and port transportation managed by Company´s subsidiaries and joint-ventures. The concessions included in the consolidated financial statements are related to the rail network in the Northeast area, managed by the subsidiary FTL, the container terminal in Itaguaí, managed by the subsidiary Sepetiba Tecon and the port terminal TECAR for exporting ore and importing coal, which is managed by the subsidiary CSN Mineração.

The Company´s concession contracts are not within the scope of the international interpretative standard ICPC01/IFRIC12, considering that the grantor (refers to the government) has effectively no control over what, to whom and at what price the services will be provided by the dealer (refers to the private part) to the customers. In essence, all concession contracts have operating leasing characteristics. Therefore, the accounting should follow the accounting rules applicable to leases. Our concession agreements provide for the use of a specific asset for an agreed period of time, but without any transfer of ownership to the Company or option to buy these assets after the completion of these contracts.

Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the contracts.

There are assets related to our concessions which are subject to reversion to the grantor at the end of the concession agreement.

The residual carrying amounts of these assets on December 31, 2016 are listed below with an indication of their classification in our financial statements:

Concession	Net book value (R$)		Classification in balance sheet
Sepetiba Tecon S.A. (TECON)	239	million	Fixed assets
			intangible: Software
Tecar	1,514	million	Fixed assets
			intangible: Software
Ferrovia Transnordestina Logistica S.A. (FTL)	280	million	Fixed assets

Transnordestina Logística S.A. (TLSA)	7,413	Million (1)	Investment
MRS Logística S.A. (MRS)	3,576	Million (2)	Investment

(1) The amount of fixed and intangible assets is recognized in TLSA’s financial statements. We recognize our interest in the net assets of TLSA under the equity method and our investment balance in TLSA as of December 31, 2016 was R$1,491,358.

(2) The amount of fixed and intangible assets is recognized in MRS’s financial statements. We recognize our interest in the net assets of MRS by the de equity method and our investment balance consolidated in MRS as of December 31, 2016 was R$ 1,711,558.

Version: 1

2.p) Share capital

Common shares are classified in shareholders' equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in shareholders' equity as a deduction to the amount received, net of taxes.

When any Company of the Group buys Company shares (treasury shares), the amount paid, including any directly additional costs (net of income tax), is deducted from shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Company until the shares are canceled or sold. When these shares are subsequently sold, any amount received, net of any directly attributable additional transaction costs and the related income tax and social contribution effects, is included in shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Company.

2.q) Revenue recognition

Operating revenue from the sale of goods in the normal course of business is measured at the fair value of the receivables. Revenue is recognized when there is convincing evidence that the most significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be reliably estimated, there is no continued involvement with the goods sold, and the amount of the operating revenue can be reliably measured. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the value thereof can be reliably measured, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of the operating revenue as sales are recognized. Revenue from services provided is recognized as it is realized.

The appropriate timing for transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms and conditions of the sales contract. For international sales, this timing depends on the type of term of the contract term.

2.r) Finance income and finance costs

Finance income includes interest income from funds invested (except available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income not accounted for under the equity method, gains on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on derivative instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss under the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established. Distributions received from investees accounted for under the equity method reduce the investment value.

Finance costs comprise interest expenses on borrowings, dividends on preferred shares classified as liabilities, losses on the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognized in financial assets, and losses on derivative instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are measured through profit or loss under the effective interest method.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

2.s) Income tax and social contribution

Current income tax and social contribution are calculated based on the tax laws enacted by the end of the reporting period, including in the countries where the Group entities operate and generate taxable profit. Management periodically assesses the positions taken in the tax calculations with respect to situations where applicable tax regulations are open to interpretations. The Group recognizes provisions where appropriate, based on the estimated payments to tax authorities. The income tax and social contribution expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they are related to business combinations or items recognized directly in shareholders' equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on taxable profit or loss for the year at tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to taxes payable in relation to prior years.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and does not affect either the accounting or taxable profit or loss, and differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures when it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Page 42

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Moreover, a deferred tax liability is not recognized for taxable temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of goodwill. The deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to be applied on temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current income tax and social contribution are carried at their net amounts by the taxpayer, in liabilities when there are amounts payable or in assets when prepaid amounts exceed the total amount due at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same entity subject to taxation.

A deferred income tax and social contribution asset is recognized for all tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Annually, the Company reviews and verifies the existence of future taxable income and a provision for loss is recognized when the realization of these credits is not likely.

2.t) Earnings/(Loss) per share

Basic earnings/loss per share are calculated by means of the profit/loss for the year attributable to owners of the Group and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the related period. Diluted earnings/loss per share are calculated by means of the average number of shares outstanding, adjusted by instruments potentially convertible into shares, with diluting effect, in the reported periods. The Group does not have any instruments potentially convertible into shares and, accordingly, diluted earnings/loss per share are equal to basic earnings/loss per share.

2.u) Environmental and restoration costs

The Company recognizes a provision for the recovery costs and fines when a loss is probable and the amounts of the related costs can be reliably measured. Generally, the period when the provision for recovery is recognized coincides with the end of a feasibility study or the commitment to adopt a formal action plan.

Expenses related to compliance with environmental regulations are charged to profit or loss or capitalized, as appropriate. Capitalization is considered appropriate when the expenses refer to items that will continue to benefit the Group and that are basically related to the acquisition and installation of equipment to control and/or prevent pollution.

2.v) Research and development

Research expenditures are recognized as expenses when incurred. Expenditures on project developments (related to the design and testing stages of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when it is probable that projects will be successful, based on their commercial and technological feasibility, and only when the cost can be reliably measured. When capitalized, development expenditures are amortized from the start of a product commercial production, on a straight-line basis and over the period of the expected benefit.

2.w) Financial instruments

i) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at the time of initial recognition.

· Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Page 43

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for active and frequent trading. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading and, accordingly, are classified in this category unless they have been designed as cash flow hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified in current assets.

· Loans and receivables

This category includes loans and receivables that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those with maturity of more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period (which are classified as non-current assets). Loans and receivables include loans to associates, trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents, except short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are recognized at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

· Held-to-maturity assets

These are basically financial assets acquired with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are initially recognized at their value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.

· Available-for-sale financial assets

These are non-derivative financial assets, designated as available-for-sale, that are not classified in any other category. They are included in non-current assets when they are strategic investments for the Company, unless Management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized at fair value.

· Recognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at the trading date - the date on which the Company undertakes to buy or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at their fair value, plus transaction costs for all financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at their fair value and the transaction costs are charged to the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred, in the latter case, provided that the Company has transferred significantly all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the income statement under “finance income” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other finance income when the Company’s right to receive the dividends has been established.

The changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized as follows: (i) the effects of foreign exchange differences and the changes in the fair value of the investment in the investee’s capital are recognized directly in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, in “Other comprehensive income” and; (ii) the effects of foreign exchange differences and the changes in the option’s fair value are recognized in the income statement for the year.

Interest on available-for-sale securities, calculated under the effective interest method, is recognized in the income statement as part of other income. Dividends from available-for-sale equity instruments, such as shares, are recognized in the income statement as part of other finance income when the Company’s right to receive payments has been established.

The fair values of publicly quoted investments are based on current purchase prices. If the market for a financial asset (and for instruments not listed on a stock exchange) is not active, the Company establishes the fair value by using valuation techniques. These techniques include the use of recent transactions contracted with third parties, reference to other instruments that are substantially similar, analysis of discounted cash flows, and option pricing models that make maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company evaluates in the end of each reporting period whether there is an evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired.

· Assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there are evidences of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”), such loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets and the future cash flow estimation can be reliably calculated.

The criteria used by CSN to determine whether there are evidences of impairment loss includes:

· significant financial weakness related to the issuer or counterparty;

· a breach of contract, such as default or delinquency at interest or principal payments;

· the issuer, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial weakness, grants to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

· it becomes probable that the borrower will incur in bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

· the disappearance of an active market for the related financial asset because of financial weakness; or

· observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of such assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:

- Adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio;

- National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.

The amount of the loss is measured by the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate to measure an impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined pursuant to the contract. As a practical expedient, the Company may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and recognized in the consolidated income statement.

· Assets classified as available-for-sale

In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline at the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below of its cost is also an evidence of impairment. Determining what is considered a “significant” or “prolonged” decline requires judgment. For this judgment we assess, among other factors, the historical changes in the equity prices, the duration and proportion in which the fair value of the investment is lower than its cost as well as the financial health and short-term business prospects for the investee, including factors such as: industry and segment performance, changes in technology and operating/financial cash flows. If any of the impairment evidences is observed for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss—measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the financial asset previously recorded in profit or loss—is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in the income statement as available-for-sale instruments are not reversed.

iii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified categories ‘’measured at fair value through profit or loss’’ and ‘’other financial liabilities’’. Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities at the time of initial recognition.

· Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Derivatives are also classified as trading securities, and thereby are classified so, unless they have been designated as effective hedging instruments.

· Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Company holds the following non-derivative financial liabilities: borrowings, financing and debentures, as well as trade payables.

· Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts as well as the intention to either settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

iv) Derivative instruments and hedging activities

· Derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date when a derivative contract is entered, thereafter they are subsequently measured at their fair value and any changes are recognized as “Finance income (costs)” in the income statement.

· Cash flow Hedge

The Company adopts hedge accounting and designates certain financial liabilities as a hedging instrument of a foreign exchange risk associated to the cash flows from forecast, highly probable exports (cash flow hedges).

At the inception of the transaction, the Company documents the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items.

The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated and qualifying as cash flow hedge is recognized on equity, in line item "Hedge accounting”. Any gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in other expenses / revenues operational, if applicable.

Page 46

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

The amounts accumulated in equity are realized at the on operating expenses/income in the periods when the forecast exports affect the result.

When a hedging instrument expires, is settled in advance or the hedging relationship no longer meets the hedge accounting criteria, or even when Management decides to discontinue hedge accounting, all cumulative gains or losses recorded in equity at the time remain recognized in equity and, from that moment, the exchange variations are recorded in the financial income (expenses). When the forecast transaction is completed, the gain or loss is reclassified to operating expenses/income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in shareholders’ equity is immediately transferred to the income statement, in line item “Other operational”.

The movements in the hedge amounts designated as exporting cash flow hedges are stated in note 14 – Financial Instruments.

· Net investment hedge

For net investment hedge, the Company designates part of its financial liabilities as hedging instruments of its overseas investments with functional currencies other than the Group’s functional currency, according to CPC38/IAS39. Such relationship occurs since the maturity of the financial liabilities is related to the exchange variation of the investments in the amounts required for the effective relationship.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking out various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged item.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge is recognized in equity in line item “Hedge Accounting”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in other operating, when applicable. If at some point of the hedging relationship the balance of the debt is higher than the balance of the investment, the exchange variation on the excess debt will be reclassified to the statement of profit or loss as a other operating income / expenses (ineffectiveness of the hedge).

The amounts accumulated in equity will be realized in the statement of profit or loss upon disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.

The changes in the amounts of hedge denominated as Net investment hedge are shown in note 14 – Financial Instruments.

2.x) Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Group committed to the business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with any other components of the Group. All the operating results of operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Executive Officers of CSN to enable decisions regarding resources to be allocated to the segment and assessment of its performance. The Company maintains distinct financial information for the distinct segments.

2.y) Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply to the conditions attaching to them and assurance that the grants will be received, so then they will be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants are intended to compensate.

The Company has state tax incentives in the North and Northeast regions, which are recognized in profit or loss as a reduction of the corresponding costs, expenses and taxes.

2.z) Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Page 47

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Noncurrent assets and groups of assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is recovered mainly through a sale transaction and not through continued use.

The criteria for classification of items held for sale are considered to be met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the balance sheet.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs through disposal, or when the transaction meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale if this occurs earlier. A discontinued operation is a component of a Group business which comprises operations and cash flows that may be clearly distinct from the rest of the Group and represent a separate separate business line or geographical area of operations.

The result of discontinued operations is presented in a single amount in the income statement, including the total income after income tax of these operations, less any impairment loss.

2.aa) New standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted

The following standards and interpretations have been issued, but have not yet effective and were not early adopted by the Group for the year ended December 31, 2016:

Standard

Main items introduced by the standard

Effective date

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 retains, but simplifies, the combined measurement model and establishes two main measurement categories of financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The classification basis depends on the entity’s business model and the characteristics of the financial asset's contractual cash flow.

IFRS 9 retains most of IAS 39 requirements for financial liabilities.

The main change refers to those cases where the fair value of the financial liabilities must be segregated so that the fair value portion related to the entity’s credit risk is recognized in “Other comprehensive income” and not in profit or loss for the period.

The guidance on IAS 39 on the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting is still applicable.

January 1, 2018

IFRS15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This new standard introduces the principles that an entity will apply to determine the revenue measurement and when such revenue shall be recognized.

IFRS15 replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, and related interpretations.

IFRS16 – Leases	This new standard defines the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and introduces a single model for the accounting of leases in the balance sheet for the lessees. A lessee recognizes a right of use asset that represents his right to use the leased asset and a lease liability that represents his obligation to make lease payments. Optional exemptions are available for short-term leases and low-value items. For lessors, accounting treatment remains practically the same, with the classification of leases as operating leases or financial leases, and accounting for these two types of lease differently. IFRS 16 replaces existing lease standards, including IAS 17 / CPC 06 (R1) - Leasing operations and ICPC 03 (IFRIC 4, SIC 5 and SIC 27) - Complementary aspects of leasing operations	January 1, 2019
Initiative disclosure (Amendments to CPC 26 / IAS 7)	The amendments require additional disclosures that allow users of financial statements to understand and evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, both changes in cash flows and other changes	January 1, 2017

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments	Can be unclear how tax law applies to a particular transaction or circumstance. This interpretation complements the CPC 32/ IAS 12 – Income Tax, clarify how to reflect the effects of uncertainty over income tax treatments.	January 1, 2019

The Accounting Pronouncements Committee has not yet issued an accounting pronouncement or amendment to pronouncements in effect corresponding to all new IFRSs.

Therefore, the early adoption of these IFRS is not allowed for entities that disclose their financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

The Company will adopt the applicable standards when they became effective. Until now, the impact of these new standards are being studied and evaluated and therefore is not possible to the Company’s Administration to determine qualitative and quantitative effects of these pronouncements.

There are no other standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted that may have, in Management’s opinion, a material impact on its financial statements.

2.a.b) Restatement of the Financial Statements of December 31, 2015

In addition to the detailed review of the business combination transaction explained in item (a) below, the Company’s management performed a thorough review of various components and transactions, including the studies that support the recognition and maintenance of the amounts of long-lived assets, such as investments in subsidiaries and associates, goodwill, property, plant and equipment and tax credits. As a result of this review, a long-lived asset whose realization depends on projections with observable assumptions was revalued and its expected realization was adjusted. Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, originally dated March 28, 2016 and restated on November 14, 2016 due to adjustments in noncontrolling interests, are being restated for the second time as a result of the detailed review mentioned above, which resulted in material adjustments to the following items:

(a) Business combination between CSN Mineração and Namisa; and

(b) Expected realization of income tax and social contribution tax credits.

We present below further details of items that led management to decide for the second restatement of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

a. Business Combination

The Company is restating the balances of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of a detailed review of all aspects of the business combination occurred on November 30, 2015, by which the Company’s mining activities were restructured and concentrated on a primary entity, CSN Mineração S.A. This review occurred after the first restatement, on November 14, 2016, of those financial statements resulting from a change in the interpretation of the gains attributed to owners and to non-controlling, as disclosed in note 2.a.b, of those financial statements.

Within this context, the Company identified errors in certain assumptions used in the fair value determination of the entities involved in the transaction, Namisa and CSN Mineração as well as in the accounting for the clause of the Investment Agreement signed in December 2014 that approached the treatment to be given to Namisa’s assets excluded from the transaction, Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas (“excluded assets”). As per that clause, Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas assets included in the made for fair value determination of Namisa should have been transferred directly to any entity other than CSN Mineração. By mistake, those assets were included within the net assets of Namisa contributed to CSN Mineração and, in a subsequent act, were transferred from CSN Mineração to another entity, Minérios Nacional (current corporate name of Mineração Nacional S.A.). Lastly, the review appointed to a change in the interpretation of the determination of the gain or loss in the pre-existing relationship between the acquirer and the acquiree entities as established in the accounting pronouncement CPC15/IFRS3.

As mentioned in Note 3, on November 30, 2015, CSN Mineração acquired the majority control of the joint venture NAMISA and applied CPC 15/IFRS3 to account for the business combination under the acquisition method.

The legal implementation of the transaction took place on November 30, 2015 by the primary issuance of shares by CSN Mineração, paid up the Asian Consortium with its shares held in NAMISA after split of the excluded assets. Subsequent act but on the same date, CSN Mineração and CSN signed a new Shareholders' Agreement of NamisaA giving to CSN Mineração the majority control of NAMISA. With the disproportionate spin-off, the consortium’s stake in Namisa became 40.24% and CSN’s stake 59.76% (before the split, the stake was 40% and 60%, respectively). Within this context, immediately after, Namisa after split of the excluded assets was merger into CSN Mineração, extinguishing the abovementioned Shareholders' Agreement.

The acquisition method applied in the business combination had resulted in net gains of R$2.9 billion in net income for the year of the subsidiary CSN Mineração (acquirer entity) and in CSN Parent Company and Consolidated, which were changed to net gains of R$2.2 billion in CSN Mineração and of R$3.0 billion in CSN Parent Company and Consolidated after the review of the transaction, and that can be shown as follows:

As a result of aforementioned review of aspects of the business combination, which identified errors on assumptions used to determine the fair value of Namisa, the Company verified that the purchase price considered for accounting purposes, previously of R$ 13.4 billion, became R$ 17.5 billion as disclosed in the table below:

On the other hand, upon the implementation of the transaction, CSN had recognized in its previously restated financial statements filed on November 14, 2016 a gain of R$1.6 billion directly in the net equity as a change in the ownership percentage, that has been adjusted to R$2.9 billion, as disclosed below:

		R$ (Million)
Events	As Originally Reported	Restated
Asian Consortium's contribution to CSN Mineração	2,619	4,034
CSN's interest - 87.52% (1)	2,292	3,531

Other effects arisen from the corporate restructuring (4)	(7)	27
Total gain of the transaction between shareholders (1+2+3+4)	1,585	2,943

These amounts are further detailed in the Note 3. The excluded assets Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas were contributed in the wholly-owned subsidiary Minérios Nacional S.A. (former Mineração Nacional S.A.) at the book value of R$60 million. The remeasured amount at fair value of those assets remained accounted for in CSN as investments, having as support the mining rights in the amount of R$2.2 billion.

The aspects that raised the adjustments abovementioned in the Company’s net income of the year and in the shareholders’ equity are the following:

a) Assumptions of seaborne freight in the assessment reports that determined the fair value of Namisa and CSN Mineração;

b) Peer companies used in the determination of the discount rate used in the assessment reports that determined the fair value of Namisa and CSN Mineração;

c) Adoption of CPC15 / IFRS3 related to the liquidation of the pre-existing relationship between the acquirer and the acquiree entities;

d) Application of the Investment Agreement clause that determined the exclusion of certain assets of the transaction; and

e) Assumptions of rail freight in the determination of fair value of the excluded assets Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas.

Find below a brief description of each of the five errors above and its individual impacts in the business combination:

· Seaborne freight – additional gain in the Company’s net income for the year of R$1,991 million and in the shareholders’ equity of R$2,677 million.

During the review of the business combination, we identified that the prices of seaborne freight considered in the assessment reports that determined the fair value of CSN Mineração and Namisa prepared at the time of the original transaction at the end of 2015 were over-estimated and did not trace relationship with the historical curves when compared to the curves of iron ore prices as well as did not present a relationship with the market prices practiced by CSN at the time those assessment reports were prepared. Accordingly, new assessment reports to determine the fair value of Namisa and CSN Mineração were prepared considering a curve of seaborne freight prices more closely related to the variations of the curve of crude oil prices which originated a more consistent relationship seaborne freight/iron ore prices, more compatible with the historical data and with the prices effectively practiced. The change in the curve of seaborne freight accreted the fair value of CSN Mineração in R$8 billion and of Namisa in R$3,5 billion. These increases in the fair value of Namisa generated an additional gain of R$1,496 million in the CSN Mineração and R$ 495 million in the Parent Company when compared to the previously restated consolidated financial statements filed on November 14, 2016.

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

· Discount rate – additional gain in the Company’s consolidated net income for the year of R$48 million and in the shareholders’ equity of R$ 443 million.

In the review of the business combination it was also identified in the determination of the discount rate used in the fair value of Namisa and CSN Mineração one entity that did not have relationship with iron ore mining activities. The change in the peer entities used in the determination of the discount rate considered in the fair value of Namisa and CSN Mineração reduced the discount rate from 14.36% to 13.83% in Namisa and from 13.91% to 13.19% in the result of CSN Mineração, increasing the discounted cash flow of CSN Mineração in R$3,6 billion and R$1.2 billion in Namisa. This increase in the discounted cash flow of Namisa generated a loss of R$48 million in CSN Mineração and a gain of R$96million in the Parent Company when compared to the previously restated consolidated financial statements filed on November 14, 2016. In addition, R$ 395 million were recognized directly in shareholders' equity, as shown in the summary table below

· Liquidation of the pre-existing relationship – negative impact exclusively related to the prepaid part of the operational contracts of R$2,056 million in the consolidated net income for the year and in the shareholders’ equity of R$1,799 million due to the reversal of a gain before taxes of R$1,554 million into a loss before taxes of R$1,225 million, when combined with the other effects related to the errors identified.

In the consolidated financial statements previously released and restated on November 14, 2016 it was considered for the determination of the gain in the liquidation of the pre-existing relationship between the acquirer and the acquiree entities a comparison of the contractual prices with the market prices without taking into consideration that a portion of the contractual prices had been prepaid in 2008 upon the signature of the Namisa’s operating agreements of ROM (run of mine) and Port Services. During the review of the transaction, it was concluded that in order to measure the gain or loss in the liquidation of the pre-existing relationship should have been considered solely the remaining cash flows of the operating agreements. This change in the comparison of the remaining cash flows versus the contractual prices and market prices reversed the gain previously generated of R$1,554 million into a loss of R$1,225 million.

· Excluded assets

In the original transaction as accounted for at the end of 2015, subsequently to the remeasurement of Namisa at its fair value the excluded assets splitted from Namisa (Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas) and transferred to Minérios Nacional were erroneously contributed to CSN Mineração first and then transferred to Minérios Nacional. However, those assets should not have been contributed to CSN Mineração first and, as opposed, should have been transferred directly to Minérios Nacional at the transaction date November 30, 2015.

Thereby, the gain of R$ 841 million net of tax effects in the remeasurement of the part already held by the Company related to the acquisition of Namisa excluded assets, is now reflected directly in the Parent Company.

· Rail freight – gain in the consolidated net income for the year of R$235 million and shareholders’ equity of R$244 million.

Version: 1

In the assessment report that determined the fair value of NAMISA’s excluded assets prepared at the time the transaction was first accounted for at the end of 2015 erroneously considered a cost of rail freight over-estimated. A new assessment report was prepared to consider the correct estimates for the rail freight costs in the determination of fair value of the excluded assets.

Other Adjustments - loss in the consolidated net income for the year of R$71 million and shareholders’ equity of R$59 million.

The new assessment reports also corrected effects related to non-inclusion in the discounted cash flow arising from the impact of the CFEM / TFRM contributions (Financial Compensation for the Exploration of Mineral Resources/Control, Monitoring and Inspection Fee for Research, Mining, Exploration and Exploitation of Mining Resources Activities), as well as adjustments related to the final balance used as the basis to evaluate the book value of Namisa assets.

b. Estimated losses of deferred income tax and social contribution credits

The Company is restating the balances of deferred income tax and social contribution credits of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 after the technical review, during 2016, of the negative and positive aspects that supported their maintenance. The main change in the decision for this restatement is the fact that the exclusion of the sale of certain non-core assets from credit recovery studies, reducing the future taxable base of the projections, together with the greater weight to be given to the observable evidence of tax losses existing in the last years, according to the interpretation given by accounting standard IAS 12 / CPC 32. As established in the standard, in the case of existence of recent history of successive losses or losses alternated in several years, this becomes the primary evidence for assessing the maintenance or recording of tax credits offsetable against future taxable profits, with the study of projections of these profits remaining as a source of secondary evidences and with lower weight in the assessment.

Thus, the Company elected to maintain in assets an amount of tax losses and negative basis of social contribution equivalent to 30% of the deferred income tax liability balance, an amount that will be used as the deferred tax liability becomes current income tax payable. With this, the total credits arising from temporary differences were accrued and maintained in inventory of credits in the Company’s tax books for future utilization. This system of maintenance of tax credits equivalent to 30% of the deferred income tax liability will remain until a new history of taxable profits is formed and the studies of projections of future profits become again primary evidences for the recording of tax credits, when the Company will recognize the temporary differences and higher amounts of tax losses and negative basis of social contribution losses that will be utilized to offset income tax payable arising from future taxable profits.

Based on the study mentioned above, the Company recognized in 2015 an estimated loss on deferred income tax and social contribution credits of R$3,173 million, of which R$2,949 million recognized in profit or loss and R$224 million in equity, as detailed in Note 16(c) Deferred IR/CS Recovery Test.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

3.1 Acquisition of control of Nacional Minérios S.A. – NAMISA

3.1.1 Object of transaction

On December 11, 2014, the Board of Directors of CSN approved the establishment of a strategic alliance with an Asian Consortium comprised by the companies ITOCHU Corporation, JFE Steel Corporation, POSCO, Kobe Steel Ltd., Nisshin Steel Co, Ltd. and China Steel Corp. (“Asian Consortium”).

The transaction consisted of a business combination through which the Asian Consortium contributed equity interest in Namisa into CSN Mineração, a mining subsidiary of CSN. Those excluded assets were net assets and mining rights of Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas.

After the corporate restructuring, CSN Mineração became the holder of the commercial establishment related to CSN’s iron ore mine Casa de Pedra, CSN’s 60% equity interest in Namisa, 8.63% direct interest in MRS, as well as the right to manage and operate the solid bulk terminal of TECAR in Itaguaí Port (“TECAR”). The excluded assets Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas were contributed to Minérios Nacional, subsidiary of the parent company.

The transaction was concluded by the signing of a shareholder’s agreement by the shareholders of CSN Mineração, on November 30, 2015.

The following steps were carried out in order to conclude the transaction:

· Payment of dividends by Namisa before the closing of the transaction, amounting to US$1.4 billion (equivalent to R$5.4 billion);

· Disproportionate split of certain assets of NAMISA, such as the mining rights of Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas, as well as the net assets of Fernandinho, for subsequent contribution to Minérios Nacional, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSN. After the split, CSN held 59.76% in NAMISA;

· Restructuring of CSN Mineração through the contribution, by CSN, of the assets and liabilities related to Casa de Pedra, the rights to operate TECAR, 59.76% of Namisa’s shares post-split of the excluded assets, 8.63% of MRS’ shares, and US$850 million in debt (equivalent to R$3,370 million, as presented in note 10.c);

· Liquidation of the pre-existing agreements with Namisa for supply of high-silicon and low-silicon content ROM (Run of Mine), port services and ore beneficiation;

· Acquisition, by CSN Mineração, of of the NAMISA shares post-split of the excluded assets held by the Asian Consortium, resulting in the merger of NAMISA into CSN Mineração;

· Signing of a shareholder’s agreement (“Shareholders’ Agreement”) by the shareholders of CSN Mineração;

· Payment by CSN of US$680 million relating to the acquisition of 4% of the shares held by the Asian Consortium in CSN Mineração and additional US$ 27 million relating to the acquisition of 0.16% of the shares held by the Asian Consortium in CSN Mineração, amounting to US$ 707 million (equivalent to R$2.7 billion).

The following charts show the corporate structure before and after the transaction:

Page 57

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Considering the position of CSN Mineração’ assets, the contributions made by the Asian Consortium in the transaction, as well as adjustments resulting from the negotiations between the parties and adjustments of debt, cash and working capital, CSN and the Asian Consortium held at the end of the transaction, equity stakes of 87.52% and 12.48% in the capital stock of CSN Mineração, respectively.

The transaction also includes an earn-out mechanism by which, in the event of a qualified liquidity event occurred under certain valuation parameters and within a defined time period after the closing of the transaction, the Asian Consortium’s equity interest in CSN Mineração could be diluted, at CSN´s sole discretion, from 12.48% to 8.71%. This mechanism was considered as a contingent asset and no related value was accounted thereto.

Part of the iron ore produced by CSN Mineração will be sold to the members of the Asian Consortium and to CSN. Such rights are reflected in long-term supply agreements entered into on November 30, 2015, which terms were negotiated on usual market conditions. CSN also ensured the use of TECAR for import of raw materials through a long-term agreement.

3.1.2 Application of CPC15/IFRS3 to the transaction

Prior to the transaction, Namisa was managed by means of a shareholder’s agreement, through which the Asian Consortium had sufficient vetoes that grant it substantial management rights over the operations. With respect to accounting, Namisa was classified as a joint venture within the scope of IFRS 10 and 11. CSN recorded its 60% equity interest in Namisa according to the equity method.

As mentioned above, CSN carried out a corporate restructuring involving the transfer of its mining operations, rights to operate the port terminal TECAR and equity interests in Namisa and MRS to CSN Mineração.This step of the transaction was carried out based on the book value of the assets, since there was no change control over the assets and equity stakes transferred. Upon conclusion of the corporate restructuring, CSN Mineração became the controlled company of CSN that concentrates the group’s mining businesses.

As a result of the transaction, Namisa became fully controlled by CSN Mineração. The Asian Consortium holds only protective vetoes in relation to the assets resulting from the business combination, usual in this type of transaction.

Accordingly, since there has been a change of control over NAMISA’s assets, CPC 15/IFRS3 should be applied. Under the parameters of such accounting standards, the acquisition date for purposes of accounting records was November 30, 2015, the date as from the new Shareholders’ Agreement of CSN Mineração became effective. Before the acquisition, NAMISA was split to set apart certain assets, such as the mining rights of Fernandinho, Cayman and Pedras Pretas, as well as the net assets of Fernandinho, which were transferred to Minérios Nacional, and the main assets were acquired by CSN Mineração.

3.1.3 Application of the acquisition method

Under CPC15/ IFRS3, the acquisition method shall be applied for recording the transaction. The method consists of the following:

a) determining the purchase price;

b) recognizing the amount of the goodwill based on expectations for future profitability; and

c) recognizing a gain or loss on pre-existing relations that should be settled with the business combination.

These three steps are applicable to the acquisition of control over Namisa, and they are detailed as follows.

a) Determination of the purchase price

According to CPC15/IFRS3, the purchase price is determined by the sum of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, equity instruments issued, non-controlling equity interests and the fair value of any equity interest held prior to the transaction. The following table summarizes the price considered for accounting purposes:

Item	Comments	R$ (Million)	Reference
Assets acquired	Cash payment in the amount of USD707MM.	2,727	(i)
Liabilities assumed	Financial adjustment of working capital and debt.	6	(i)
Equity instruments issued	CSN Mineração issued equity intruments that were given to the Asian Consortium.	4,034	(ii)
Fair value of the interest previously held by the acquirer entity before the business combination	CSN Mineração held 60% of Namisa's shares post-split before the business combination and remeasured at fair value.	10,700	(iii)
Purchase price considered for the business combination		17,467

i. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed

Subsequent to the capital increase, the transaction included a cash payment made for acquisition of 4.16% of CSN Mineração’s shares held by the Asian Consortium in the amount of US$707 million, equivalent to R$2,727 Million as of November 30, 2015 and a liability amounting to R$6 Million to be paid 1^st. quarter 2016.

Even though such payment was carried out by CSN for the acquisition of 4.16 % CSN Mineração shares, its economic effect was recorded at CSN Mineração as an integral part of the consideration received due to the control acquisition over Namisa, according to the guidelines provided by CPC15/IFRS3.

ii. Equity instruments issued – shares of CSN Mineração

CSN Mineração performed the primary issue of shares to the Asian Consortium represented 12.48% of its total capital. Pursuant to CPC 15/ IFRS3, such shares were appraised at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Such appraisal was performed using the discounted cash flow method, considering the business plans approved by the shareholders of CSN Mineração. The main premises of such appraisal and the results thereof are described in the table below:

Fair Value attributed to the equity instruments issued		R$ 4,034

The fair value of CSN Mineração was calculated by independent appraisers who issued a new assessment report considering the adjustments identified by the Company’s management.

iii. Equity interest in NAMISA held prior to the acquisition

CSN Mineração held of Namisa’s shares immediately prior to the transaction regarding the acquisition of control be concluded. Such shares were appraised under the equity method.

According to item 41 of CPC15/IFRS3, such shares are part of the consideration transferred and should be measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. A gain or loss resulting from the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount recorded immediately prior to the acquisition should be recognized in profit or loss for the year.

The appraisal of the fair value of NAMISA was conducted according to the discounted cash flow method, considering the business plans in effect prior to the transaction and approved by the shareholders. NAMISA’s fair value remeasurement contained certain assets that were split to CSN and immediately after were transferred to a CSN’s wholly-owned subsidiary called Minérios Nacional, whilst NAMISA’s main assets were acquired by CSN Mineração. The main assumptions of such appraisal and the results thereof are shown in the following table:

Assumptions	Data

b) Goodwill on acquisition of control over Namisa

According to item 32 of the CPC15/IFRS3, the acquirer shall recognize goodwill based on expectations for future profitability as of the acquisition date, measured by the amount at which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired (Purchase Price Allocation – PPA). The transaction generated goodwill of R$3,197 million, according the table below:

			R$ (Million) – (Restated)
Item	Reference		Elimination relationship pre-existing	Shareholders' equity
Purchase price considered	Item 3.1.3 (a)	17,467	(10,649)	6,818

Goodwill for future profitability expected		3,197		3,197

The goodwill based on future profitability expected is recorded under Intangible Assets and, since it does not have a definite useful life, it is not amortized, according to CPC01/IAS 38. As from 2016, CSN started to perform conducting impairment testing for this asset according to the requirements established by CPC01/IAS 36.

(i) Fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The following table shows the fair value allocation breakdown for 100% of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 30, 2015, calculated on the basis of reports prepared by independent appraisers:

According to CPC15/IFRS3, the goodwill based on future profitability expected existing in the Namisa’s financial statements, as of the acquisition date, should be written off so that a new goodwill is recognized.

The allocation of the fair value resulted in a gain in the total amount of R$ 3,152 million, distributed among the principal assets of Namisa. The following table shows the breakdown of the amounts allocated and a summary of the calculation methodology:

R$(Million)

Assets acquired	Remeasurement method	Book value	Fair value adjustment	Total fair value
MRS interest - 10%	Entity's discounted cash flow based on the long-term business plan approved by the shareholders.	306	481	787

Property, plant and equipment	The amounts of property, plant and equipment were adjusted by the difference between the fair value of the PP&E and their respective net carrying amounts, as per the technical valuation conducted by an independent appraiser for the groups of assets represented by improvements, constructions, vehicles, furniture and fixtures. The useful lives follow the periods disclosed in Note 11.	551	111	662

Mining rights - Engenho, Fernandinho and Cayman mines	The income approach was used based on the excess profitability methodology in multiple periods, due to the possibility of attributing the directly generated cash flow to the asset identified. Under this methodology, the amount of the mining rights is estimated based on their future profitability, discounting all costs and investments that would be necessary for extracting and processing the iron ore to their fair value. These rights will be amortized according to the depletion of the mines.		3,184	3,184

c) Liquidation of pre-existing relationships between CSN Mineração and NAMISA

The CPC15/IFRS3 determines that the increase or decrease in fair value resulting from an advantage or disadvantage in the transaction between the acquirer and the acquiree should be liquidated, with recognition of a gain or loss in the income statement of the year as of the transaction date. Such assets or relationships are referred as pre-existing relationship in the context of CPC15/ IFRS3.

CSN Mineração and Namisa had a pre-existing relationship resulting from long-term agreements for the rendering of port services, supply of ROM iron ore and processing of ore. With the business combination, such agreements were extinct, since CSN’s mining activities have now been centralized at CSN Mineração.

The liquidation of the pre-existing relationship generated a loss of R$1,225 million (R$493 million after the elimination of CSN Mineração’s 60% stake in Namisa), which considered the comparison of discounted cash flows at market prices with the contractual discounted cash flows remaining after the installments prepaid in 2008 when the operating agreements of ROM and Porto were entered into.

3.1.4 Effects reflected in CSN parent company - Transaction between partners recorded in equity

As mentioned above, CSN Mineração was considered the acquirer for the application of IFRS3/CPC15. As a result, to the completion of the transaction, there was a change in CSN’s shareholding in CSN Mineração, which has not represented a loss of control in CSN Mineração by CSN. The Company’s participation decreased from 100% to 87.52%. According to CPC36/IFRS10, this change should be classified as an equity transaction and the resulting gain or loss on the new value of the participation shall be recorded directly in net equity. Due to this percentage variation, a gain of R$2,943 million was recorded. The table below shows the reconciliation of this amount:

Events		R$ (Million) Restated
Asian Consortium's contribution to CSN Mineração - item 3.3 (a)		4,034
CSN's interest - 87.52% (1)		3,531

CSN held 50% shares of CGPAR immediately before the conclusion of the control acquisition, this investment was measured by the equity method.

According to the item 41 of the CPC 15/IFRS 3, those shares are part of the consideration paid and must be measured by their fair value on the acquisition date. The accounting rule determines that a gain or loss must be recorded resulting from the difference between the fair value and the book value before the transaction. Therefore, the CGPAR valuation by its fair value was calculated based in the discounted cash flow method, considering the business plan valid until the transaction date.

The results are presented in the following table:

Premises		R$
Fair value as of September 30, 2016 (equity value)		99,452
Fair value attributed to 50% equity interest prior acquisition (a)		49,726
Accounting Balances
The equity interest prior acquisition (a) on September 30, 2016		8,608
Gain in the valuation of the 50% interest by the fair value of the equity interest prior to the acquisition (a)-(b) (Note 25)		41,118

3.2.2 Gain from a bargain purchase generated from the control acquisition of CGPAR

According to the item 32 of the CPC15/IFRS 3, the acquirer must recognize the goodwill generated from the future economic benefits or a gain from a bargain purchase at the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (Purchase Price Allocation - PPA) exceeded the purchase price and the transaction generated a gain from a bargain purchase of R$ 25,378 million.

In addition, CSN, as an investor, performed and impairment test of its stake in TLSA, through TLSA ability to distribute dividends, methodology known as Dividend Discount Model, or DDM, to remunerate the capital invested by shareholders. In order to perform this test, some aspects were taken into account, such as:

· The flow of dividends was obtained from the TLSA nominal cash flow;

· The flow of dividends was calculated considering the annual percentages of participation, considering the dilutions of the CSN’s stakes due to the amortization of debts;

· This flow of dividends was discounts at presente value using de cost of equity (Ke) embedded in the WACC rate of TLSA; and

· This Ke obtained was the one calculated in the “rolling WACC” of TLSA.

Another important aspect that was considered in the analysis of the impairment of CSN’s investment in the TLSA, was the need to apply an additional percentage of risk to the discount rate in addition to the one already used to determine the discounted cash flow of TLSA. Due to the sharing of investors risks, and by the fact that the asset that is being tested represents the cash-generating unit itself, which is equal to the legal entity, the risk determined by CSN Management is the same applied by TLSA when the evaluation of their own investments, not applying an additional risk fator to the model.

As a result, the Company recognized a loss in the mais-valia of the investments of TLSA in the amount of R$ 387,989 recorded in other operations and R $ 131,916 in deferred taxes

(3) Refers to the goodwill based on expectations for future profitability, resulting from the acquisition of Namisa by CSN Mineração, an operation that was concluded in December 2015. From 2016, the balance started to tested annually for impairment analysis. See further details relating to calculation of the goodwill in note 3.1.3b – Business Combination.

The impairment testing of the goodwill and the trademark include the balance of property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating units and also the intangible. The test is based on the comparison between the actual balances and the value in use of those units, determining based on the projections of discounted cash flows and use of such assumptions and judgements as: growth rate, costs and expenses, discount rate, working capital, future Capex investment and macroeconomic assumptions observable in the market.

The main assumptions used in calculations of value in use at December 31, 2016 are as follows:

	Metal packaging	Long steel ()*	Mining
Measurement of recoverable value	Discounted Cash Flow	Discounted Cash Flow	Discounted Cash Flow
Cash flow projection	Business cycle (approx. 10 years ) With perpetuity	Business cycle (approx. 10 years ) With perpetuity	Until 2067
Gross Margin	Growth of the gross margin due to reduction of energy / natural gas and direct labor costs	Average of the Gross Margin based on the history and projections for the next 8 years,mainly for sales volume, sales price and metallic spread,grounded on industry reports.	Average of the Gross Margin of each Cash - Generating unit based on the history and projections for the next 50 years and long - term price and exchange rate curves from industry reports.
Cost atualization	Costs based on historical data of each product by can and expected gains on business restructuring.	Costs based on historical data and market trends	Costs based on historical data and market trends.
Growth Rate	Without growth in real terms.	Without growth in real terms.	The growth rate was not considered.
Discount rate	These cash flows were considered using a discount rate after taxes between 4% and 8% in real terms. The discount rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) that reflects the specific risk of each segment/country.

(*) Includes the assets related to the plant of Aços Longos located at Usina Presidente Vargas and the subsidiary SWT. For the assets that are located in Germany, the discount rate was applied on the discounted cash flow prepared in Euros, the functional currency of this subsidiary.

Based on the analyses conducted by Management, was not necessary to record losses by impairment to those assets in the year ended on December 31, 2016.

· Covenants

The Company's loan agreements establish the fulfillment of certain non financial obligations, as well as maintenance of certain parameters and performance indicators, such as disclosure of its audited financial statements according to regulatory deadlines or payment of commission on risk assumption, if the net debt-EBITDA ratio reaches the levels in those agreements.

Exceptionally the Company did not file the financial statements for the year ended December 31,2016 within the regulatory period, according to a significant event disclosed on March 27, 2017. Due to this exceptionality, the Company requested the debenture holders of its 5th, 7th, 8th and 9th Debentures Issuance to grant additional term for the disclosure of these financial statements until October 31, 2017. There was no early maturity decree of the Company's financings, due to the late disclosure of the financial statements in question.

On December 31, 2016, the Company has provisioned R$ 30,843 in the Consolidated and R$ 13,413 in the Parent Company for risk assumption.

14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

I - Identification and measurement of financial instruments

The Company enters into transactions involving various financial instruments, mainly cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and borrowings and financing. The Company also enters into derivative transactions, especially interest rate and foreign exchange rate swaps.

Considering the nature of these instruments, their fair value is basically determined by using Brazil’s money market and mercantile and futures exchange quotations. The amounts recognized in current assets and current liabilities have immediate liquidity or short-term maturity, mostly less than three months. Considering the maturities and characteristics of such instruments, their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

· Classification of financial instruments

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Includes observable inputs in market such as interest rates, exchange etc., but not prices traded in active markets.

There are no assets and liabilities classified as level 3.

II – Investments in financial instruments classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value through OCI

The Company has investments in common (USIM3) and preferred (USIM5) shares of Usiminas (“Usiminas Shares”), designated as available-for-sale financial assets. The Company adopts this designation because the nature of the investment is not comprised in any other categories of financial instruments (loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The asset is classified as a non-current asset in line item “investments” and is carried at fair value based on the quoted price on the stock exchange (BM&FBOVESPA). According to the Company's policy, the gains and losses arising from changes in the price of shares are recorded directly in equity, as other comprehensive income.

The Company's accounting policy requires a quarterly analysis based on quantitative and qualitative information available in the market from the moment the instrument demonstrates a drop of more than 20% of their market value or from a significant drop in market value compared to their acquisition cost for more than 12 months. If the Company concludes that there was a significant drop in the price of the instrument, an impairment loss must be recognized. in 2012, considering the price of Usiminas shares on BM & FBovespa, a first impairment loss on these shares was recorded. Pursuant to this policy, whenever the share price reaches a level lower than the last impairment recorded, the Company must record new losses in the result, redefining the new minimum level of value of the shares.

During the year 2016, there was no impairment recorded and the gain from the change in share price in the period was recorded in other comprehensive income (the impairment recorded as of December 31, 2015 amounted to R$ 555,298):

· Share market price risks

The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in share prices due to the investments made and classified as available-for-sale.

According to the Company’s accounting policies, any negative changes in the investment in Usiminas considered significant (impairment) are recognized in profit or loss and the other variations not resulting from impairment in changes are recognized in comprehensive income until the investment is realized.

As of December,31 2016, the amount recognized in comprehensive income for investments available for sale, net of taxes is R$678,035 (R$(73) as of December 31, 2015).

III - Financial risk management

The Company has and follows a policy of managing its risks, with guidelines regarding the risks incurred by the company. Pursuant to this policy, the nature and general position of financial risks are regularly monitored and managed in order to assess the results and the financial impact on cash flow. The quality of counterparties’ hedging instruments and the credit limit are also periodically reviewed.

Under this policy, market risks are hedged when it is considered necessary to support the corporate strategy or when it is necessary to maintain a level of financial flexibility.

Under the terms of the risk management policy, the Company manages some risks by using derivative instruments. The Company’s risk policy prohibits any speculative deals or short sales.

14.a) Foreign exchange and interest rate risks

· Exchange rate risk

The exchange rate risk arises from the existence of assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars or Euros since the Company's functional currency is substantially the real is called natural currency exposure. Net exposure is the result of offsetting the natural currency exposure by hedging instruments adopted by CSN.

The consolidated net exposure as of December 31, 2016 is as follows:

Version: 1

During the second quarter of 2016, CSN began a process of reviewing its currency hedge strategy, which resulted in the settlement of the future dollar derivatives portfolio. As a result, the net foreign currency exposure at the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was US$1,740,524 thousand, as shown in the table above. It should be noted that the balance of net foreign currency exposure including a liability of US$1 billion, in the line item of Loans and Financing related to perpetual bond that, considering its characteristics, will not require disbursement for settlement of the principal in a foreseeable future.

Therefore, excluding perpetual bonds, the Company’s net foreign exchange exposure amounts to R$ 740,524 thousand. The company has focused its hedge strategy on preserving its cash flow, so it is evaluating a replacement of the exposure generated by the settlement of derivatives with new hedge accounting designations, capturing the existing natural hedges, as well as using other derivative instruments with the purpose of hedging CSN's future cash flows.

· Interest rate risk

Risk arises from short and long term liabilities with fixed or post fixed interest rates and inflation rates.

Item 14 b) shows the derivatives and hedging strategies to protect exchange and interest rates risks.

14.b) Hedging instruments: Derivative and hedge accounting

CSN uses several instruments for protection of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, as shown in the following topics:

Forward DI contracts

The Company to hedge part or all of its exposure to assets whose interest rates are pre-fixed may obtain DI derivative operations on the stock exchange or the over-the-counter market, linking these assets to market trends. As of December 31, 2016 the Company held in its portfolio forward CDI rate contracts traded at BM&F Bovespa which totaled the notional amount of R$1,641 billion.

The forward DI contract is defined as the accumulative value of the average daily DI rates of one day, calculated between the date of the transaction and the last trading date, being used to hedge and manage the interest rate risk of assets / liabilities in DI. The purchase and sale transactions, originally contracted in rate, will be converted into sale and purchase transactions, respectively, in PU.

The contract settlement is exclusively financial, on the due date and occurs daily until the maturity. The position held by the Company is set at the end of each session based on the difference of the day's settlement price (D0) compared to the previous day price (D-1), and is settled on the following day (D+1), according to the rules of BM&F.

For as much as the Company maintains contracts traded on the BM&F Bovespa, it is required by the clearing house a guarantee margin to cover those commitments in these contracts, which is only a percentage of the contract´s total amount. CSN maintains securities linked to this guarantee margin, consisting mainly of government bonds, which will be redeemed after the end position. The amounts of these investments are described in Note 6.

Dollar x Euro swap

The subsidiary Lusosider has derivative transactions to protect its dollar exposure versus euro.

· Hedge accounting – cash flow

Beginning November 1, 2014, the Company formally designated cash flow hedging relationships to protect highly probable future cash flows against US dollar fluctuations.

In order to better reflect the accounting impacts of this foreign exchange hedging strategy on its profit, CSN designated part of its US dollar-denominated liabilities as a hedging instrument of its future exports. As a result, foreign exchange differences arising on translating the designated liabilities will be temporarily recognized in shareholders’ equity and allocated to profit or loss when such exports are carried out, which will allow recognizing the US dollar impact on liabilities and exports concurrently. Note that adopting hedge accounting does not entail contracting any financial instrument. As of December 31, 2016 the Company designated for hedge accounting US$1,5 billion in exports to be carried out between October, 2017 and October, 2022.

To support these designated amounts, the Company prepared formal documentation indicating how hedging is aligned with the goal and strategy of CSN’s Risk Management Policy by identifying the hedging instruments used, the hedging purpose, the nature of the hedged risk, and showing the expected high effectiveness of the designated relationships. The designated debt instruments total an amount equivalent to the portion of future exports. Thus, the exchange differences on translating the instrument and the hedged item are similar. According to the Company’s accounting policy, continuous assessments of the prospective and retrospective effectiveness must be carried out by comparing the designated amounts with the expected amounts, approved in Management’s budgets, and the actual export amounts.

Through hedge accounting, the exchange gains and losses of the debt instruments do not immediately affect the Company’s profit or loss except to the extent that exports are carried out.

The table below shows a summary of the hedging relationships as of December 31, 2016:

(*) The effect on the result was recorded in other operating expenses.

(1) During the designation on August 2015, we reviewed the future export projections and identified that the amount of US$ 9 million designated previously were not highly probable due to Platt’s quotation reduction. Therefore, the hedge relationship was discontinued from August 2015. The exchange rate of the effective period remains recorded in Stockholders' Equity until the time of debt settlement.

In the hedging relationships described above, the amounts of the debt instruments were fully designated for equivalent iron ore export portions.

The movements in the hedge accounting amounts recognized in shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2016 are as follows:

	12/31/2015	Movement	Realization	12/31/2016
Cash flow hedge accounting	1,520,089	(1,005,968)	(77,444)	436,677

Fair value of cash flow hedge, net of taxes	1,520,089	(1,005,968)	(77,444)	436,677

As of December 31, 2016, the hedging relationships established by the Company were effective, according to the prospective tests conducted. Thus, no reversal for hedge accounting ineffectiveness was recognized.

CSN has a natural foreign exchange exposure in Euros substantially arising from a loan made by a foreign subsidiary with functional currency in Reais, for the acquisition of investments abroad whose functional currency is Euro. Such exposure arises from converting the balance sheets of these subsidiaries for consolidation in CSN, and the exchange rate of the loans affected the income statement in the financial result item and the exchange variation of the net assets of the foreign operation directly affected the equity in other comprehensive income.

As from September 1^st, 2015 CSN began to adopt hedge of net investment to eliminate exposure and cover future fluctuations of the Euro on such loans. Non-derivative financial liabilities have been designated represented by loan agreements with financial institutions in the amount of € 120 million. The carrying amounts on December 31, 2016 are:

14.d) Liquidity risk

It is the risk that the Company may not have sufficient net funds to honor its financial commitments as a result of mismatching of terms or volumes between scheduled receipts and payments.

To manage cash liquidity in domestic and foreign currency, assumptions of future disbursements and receipts are established and daily monitored by the treasury area. The payment schedules for the long-term portions of borrowings, financing and debentures are shown in note 13.

The following table shows the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including accrued interest.

					Consolidated
At December 31, 2016	Less than one year	From one to two years	From two to five years	Over five years	Total

IV - Fair values of assets and liabilities as compared to their carrying amounts

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in current and non-current assets and liabilities, and any gains and losses are recognized as finance income or finance costs, respectively.

The amounts are recognized in the financial statements at their carrying amounts, which are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. The fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts, except the amounts below.

The estimated fair values for certain consolidated long-term borrowings and financing were calculated at prevailing market rates, taking into consideration the nature, terms and risks similar to those of the recorded contracts, as below:

		12/31/2016		12/31/2015
	Carrying amount	Fair value	Carrying amount	Fair value

· Credit risks

The exposure to credit risks of financial institutions complies with the parameters established by financial policy. The Company has as practice the detailed analysis of the patrimonial and financial situation of its clients, the establishment of a credit limit and permanent monitoring of its debit balance.

With regard to financial investments, the Company only made investments in institutions with low credit risk rated by rating agencies. Since part of the funds is invested in repurchase agreements that are backed by Brazilian Government Bonds, there is also exposure to the credit risk of the brazilian State.

· Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure in order to safeguard its ability to continue to offer shareholder returns and benefits to other stakeholders, as well as maintaining an ideal capital structure to reduce this cost.

The Company has foreign subsidiaries in its corporate structure, for which profits are taxed at income tax in the countries where they are domiciled by lower rates than those prevailing in Brazil. From 2012 up to 2016 such foreign subsidiaries generated profits amounting to R$ 1,743,368. If for some reason tax authorities understand that these profits are subject to additional taxation in Brazil in respect of income tax and social contribution, which if due, would total R$ 580,332.

The Company, based on its legal counsel’s opinion, assessed the likelihood of loss in a potential claiming by tax authorities which resulted in a possible risk of loss and, therefore, no provision was recognized in the financial statements.

16.c) Impairment test - Deferred taxes

Annually, CSN performs a technical study to demonstrate if the generation of future taxable profits support the realization of tax credits.

This study is prepared at Entity level, in accordance with the Brazilian tax legislation, and is performed considering substantially the Company’s projections (98% of the consolidated amount) since the other group companies do not have material credits for purposes of this study. The parent company engages in the following businesses:

• Flat Steel Brazil;

• Long Steel Brazil;

• Cement;

The deferred tax assets on tax losses and temporary differences refers mainly to the following:

Nature	Description
Tax losses	In recent periods, the Company started to incur in tax losses at the parent company level, mostly because of high financial expenses, as substantially all our loans and financings are on this level.
Exchange difference expenses	Since 2012 the Company opted by the taxation on a cash basis. As the Parent Company have operated without taxable profit (at the parent company level), it would not make sense to use this deductibility year by year (accrual basis). As a result of the cash basis tax treatment, taxes are only due and expenses are only deductible at the time of debt settlement.
Losses on Usiminas shares	The losses on Usiminas shares are recognized on an accrual basis, but the taxable event will occur only at the time of divestment, expected to occur in the period projected to compensate the deferred taxes.
Other provisions	Various accounting provisions are recognized on an accrual basis, but their taxation occurs only at the time of its realization, such as provisions for contingencies, impairment losses, environmental liabilities, etc.

The study it is prepared based on the Company business plan of long-term in period reasonably estimated by management and considered several scenarios which vary according to different macroeconomic and operating assumptions.

The model for projection of taxable profit considers two main indicators:

· Pre-Tax Profit, reflecting our projected EBITDA plus depreciation, other income and expenses and financial income (expenses); and

· Taxable Profit, which is our pre-tax profit plus (minus) expenses and income items that are taxable at a time different from the time obtained on an accrual basis (temporary differences).

Taxable profit is obtained considering adjustments to pre-tax profits for the following main items:

· Foreign Exchange differences: are expected to be offset against future profits based on the original in liquidation debts owed to third parties and rescheduling of intercompany debts (to match the periods of greater profitability);

· Losses on Usiminas: the model assumed using the tax assets at the time of sale of the preferred shares (and realization of losses), exclusively;

· Other provisions: in view of the unpredictability of the occurrence of losses for which we have recorded provisions, we assumed an even 10% utilization per year; and

· Tax loss: utilization is limited under Brazilian law to 30% of the taxable income in a given year. Under Brazilian law income tax losses do not expire and may be used to offset future taxable income.

In addition, a sensitivity analysis of tax credits utilization considering a change in macroeconomic assumptions, operational performance and liquidity events took place.

On the other hand, as a negative factor, CSN has experienced income tax losses in most of the last five years resulting from the deterioration of the Brazilian political and macroeconomic environment, as well as due to the growth of financial leverage, which has unbalanced the relationship between operating and financial results at the parent company level.

In summary, the main positive and negative evidences we considered in making our projections were:

i. Positive aspects: Operating profit, non-expiration on tax losses benefit and extinguishment of the financial expenses arising from the elimination pre-existing relationship between Namisa and the Parent Company and dividends to be received from CSN Mineração.

ii. Negative aspects: history of tax losses, substantial generation of cash used for payment of debts and increase in iron ore costs since, from the business combination, the Parent Company started purchasing iron ore at market price from CSN Mineração and, pursuant to the Brazilian legislation, the utilization of the tax loss is limited to 30% of the taxable profit in the year.

The existence of tax losses generated in the last years is a material negative evidence for being objectively verifiable, and, consequently, more weight is given to this evidence than to others which may have subjectivity features, according to the interpretation of technical pronouncement IAS 12 / CPC 32.

The projections of future taxable profits for 2015 that supported the recording of deferred tax credits attributed an important weight to the sale of certain non-core assets whose technical reflection during 2016 indicated that the corresponding sales would not be subject to inclusion in these projections since they would be out of Management’s control. This new understanding reduced the future taxable base for the period estimated in these projections.

Therefore, one considers that there are not sufficiently strong evidences that support the recording of the tax credits, limiting their recognition to 30% of the deferred tax liabilities.

Additionally, this provision includes tax liabilities resulting from lawsuits filed by the Company, subject to SELIC (Central Bank’s policy rate).

Tax lawsuits

The main tax lawsuits assessed by the outside legal counsel as probable losses which CSN or its subsidiaries are parties are as follows: (i) Municipal tax assessments (ISS) incident in lease contracts; (ii) ICMS Assessment Notice for the alleged nonpayment of this tax on product imports; (iii) Tax Forfeiture to collect ICMS reported but not paid; (iv) collection of income tax and social contribution for the offset of nonexistent tax credits.

Labor lawsuits

As of December 31, 2016, the Group is a defendant in 7,953 labor lawsuits, for which a provision has been recorded in the amount of R$485,422 (R$478,611 as of December 31, 2015). Most of the claims relate to subsidiary and/or joint liability, salary equalization, health hazard premiums and hazardous duty premiums, overtime pay, difference in the 40% fine for the severance pay fund (FGTS) related to period prior to retirement and as a result of federal government economic plans, health care plan, indemnity claims resulting from alleged occupational diseases or on-the-job accidents, breaks between working hours, and differences in profit sharing from 1997 to 1999 and from 2001 to 2003.

During the year ended December 31, 2016 there were addition or write-off movements in labor lawsuits, due to court orders issued to terminate lawsuits and the constant revision of the Company’s accounting estimates related to the provision for contingencies that take into consideration the different nature of the claims made, as required by the Company’s accounting policies.

Civil lawsuits

Among the civil lawsuits in which the Company is a defendant are claims for compensation. Generally, these lawsuits result from on-the-job accidents, occupational diseases and contractual litigation related to the industrial activities of the Group, real estate actions, healthcare plan, and reimbursement of costs incurred in labor courts. For lawsuits involving civil matters, a provision has been recognized in the amount of R$137,857 as of December 31, 2016 (R$128,451 as of December 31, 2015)

Environmental lawsuits

The environmental administrative/judicial proceedings filed against the Company include mainly administrative proceedings for alleged environmental irregularities and the regularization of environmental permits; at the judicial level, the Company is a party to actions collecting the fines imposed for such alleged environmental irregularities and public civil actions claiming regularization coupled with compensation, in most cases claiming environmental recovery. In general, these proceedings arise from alleged damages to the environment related to the Company’s industrial activities. For lawsuits involving environmental matters, a provision has been recognized in the amount of R$7,716 as of December 31, 2016 (R$17,646 as of December 31, 2015)

In July 2012 the Company received a legal notice in the lawsuit filed by the State Attorney's Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro, related to Volta Grande IV district in the city of Volta Redonda-RJ, claiming, among others, the removal of two industrial waste cells and 750 (seven hundred and fifty) homes. This lawsuit was initially classified as probable loss risk, however, due to the fact that injunctions were dismissed at the lower and higher courts, in particular, the removal of 750 (seven hundred and fifty) families, as well as because there is still no judicial expert investigation that measures the risks and, consequently, the scope of remediation, the classification of the degree of risk became possible, considering the current phase of the lawsuit.

As a result of the lawsuit mentioned in the paragraph above, after August 2012 the Company received legal notices related to some lawsuits filed by one of the dwellers of the Volta Grande IV district, who claims the payment of compensation for property damages and pain and suffering, whose amounts are illiquid at the moment, and this lawsuit is classified as possible loss risk.

On the same matter (Bairro Volta Grande IV), in August 2013 the Company received a subpoena about the lawsuits filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office (Federal Courts), which has the same claim of the lawsuit filed by the State Public Prosecution Office, described above.

Currently, the conflict of jurisdiction between the two actions, between the State and Federal Courts, is discussed to prosecute and adjudicate the causes.

The assessments made by the legal counsel define these administrative and judicial proceedings as entailing risk of possible loss and, therefore, no provision was recorded in conformity with Management’s judgment and accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

· Environmental lawsuits

The environmental processes present high complexity for estimating the amount at risk, should be taken into consideration, among various aspects, procedural development, the extent of damage and the projection of repairing costs.

There are other environmental processes for which it is not yet possible to assess the risk and contingency value due to the aforementioned complexity estimation, the peculiarities of the matters involving them and also their procedural steps.

19 PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The carrying amount of the provision for environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligation (ARO) are as follows:

		Consolidated		Parent Company
	12/31/2016	12/31/2015	12/31/2016	12/31/2015
Environmental liabilities	273,475	262,290	265,772	259,115
Asset retirement obligations	73,589	66,641
	347,064	328,931	265,772	259,115

19.a) Environmental liabilities

As of December 31, 2016, there is a provision recognized for expenditures relating to environmental investigation and recovery services for potentially contaminated areas surrounding establishments in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina. Estimated expenditures will be reviewed periodically and the amounts already recognized will be adjusted whenever necessary. These are Management’s best estimates based on the environmental remediation studies and projects. This provision is recognized as other operating expenses.

The provision is measured at the present value of the expenditures required to settle the obligation, using a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation. The increase in the obligation due to passage of time is recognized as other operating expenses.

The discount rate used to calculate the provision to present value through December 31, 2016 was 9.2% in real terms. The liability recognized is periodically updated based on the general market price index (IGP-M) for the period.

Some contingent environmental liabilities are monitored by environmental department were not recorded in provisions due to its characteristics, they do not meet the recognition criteria present in CPC 25.

19.b) Asset retirement

Asset retirement obligations refer to estimated costs for decommissioning, retirement or restoration of areas upon the termination of activities related to mining resources. The initial measurement is recognized as a liability discounted to present value and subsequently through increase in expenses over time. The asset retirement cost equivalent to the initial liability is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the asset, being depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

In 2015, the Company completed a new certification of iron mineral reserves in the Casa de Pedra and Engenho mines. This certification, prepared by a specialized company, has certified reserves of 3,021 million tons of iron ore, which represents an increase of 85% compared to the amounts certified in the last audit on April 2007.

27 SEGMENT INFORMATION

According to the Group´s structure, the businesses are distributed and managed in five operating segments as follows:

· Steel

The Steel Segment consolidates all the operations related to the production, distribution and sale of flat steel, long steel, metallic containers and galvanized steel, with operations in Brazil, United States, Portugal and Germany. The Segment supplies the following markets: construction, steel containers for the Brazilian chemical and food industries, home appliances, automobile and OEM (motors and compressors). The Company’s steel units produce hot and cold rolled steel, galvanized and pre-painted steel of great durability. They also produce tinplate, a raw material used to produce metallic containers.

Overseas, Lusosider, which is based in Portugal, also produces metal sheets, as well as galvanized steel. CSN LLC in the U.S.A. meets local market needs by supplying cold rolled and galvanized steel. In January 2012, CSN acquired Stahlwerk Thüringen (SWT), a manufacturer of long steel located in Unterwellenborn, Germany. SWT is specialized in the production of shapes used for construction and has an installed production capacity of 1.1 million metric tons of steel/year.

In January 2014 the production of long steel products started with a capacity of 500,000 metric tons per year, which will consolidate the company as a source of complete construction solutions, complementing its portfolio of products with high value added in the steel chain.

· Mining

This segment encompasses the activities of iron ore and tin mining.

The high quality iron ore operations are located in the Iron Quadrilateral in MG, the Casa de Pedra mine in Congonhas, MG, as well as CSN Mineração S.A., which has its own mines and sells third party iron ore.

At the end of 2015, CSN and the Asian Consortium formalized a shareholders' agreement for the combination of assets linked to iron ore operations and the related logistics structure, forming a new company that has focused in mining of the Group activities from December 2015. In this context, the new company, called CSN Mineração S.A., holds the TECAR arraignment, the Casa de Pedra mine and all the shares of Namisa, which was incorporated on December 31, 2015.

Moreover, CSN controls a Estanho de Rondônia S.A. company mining units and tin casting.

· Logistics

i. Railroad

CSN has equity interests in three railroad companies: MRS Logística, which manages the former Southeast Network of Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A. (RFFSA), Transnordestina Logística S.A. and FTL - Ferrovia Transnordestina Logística S.A., which operate the former Northeast Network of the RFFSA in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Alagoas.

a) MRS

The railroad transportation services provided by MRS are fundamental to the supply of raw materials and the shipment of final products. The total amount of iron ore, coal and coke consumed by the Presidente Vargas Mill as well as part of the steel produced by CSN for the domestic market and for export are carried by MRS.

The Southeast Brazilian railroad system, encompassing 1,674 kilometers of tracks, serves the tri-state industrial area of São Paulo-Rio de Janeiro-Minas Gerais, linking the mines located in Minas Gerais to the ports located in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and the steel mills of CSN, Companhia Siderúrgica Paulista, or Cosipa, and Gerdau Açominas. Besides serving other customers, the railroad system carries iron ore from the Company’s mines in Casa de Pedra, Minas Gerais, and coke and coal from the Itaguaí Port, in Rio de Janeiro, to Volta Redonda, and carries CSN’s export products to the ports of Itaguaí and Rio de Janeiro. Its volumes of cargo carried account for approximately 28% of the total volume carried by the Southeast railroad system.

Version: 1

b) TLSA and FTL

TLSA and FTL hold the concession of the former RFFSA’s Northeast Network. The Northeast Network totals 4,238 km, divided into two sections: i) Network I, which comprises the São Luiz–Mucuripe, Arrojado–Recife, Itabaiana–Cabedelo, Paula Cavalcante–Macau–Recife, and Propriá–Jorge Lins (Network I) sections, whose concession goes until 2027, held by FTL; and ii) Network II, which comprises the Missão Velha–Salgueiro, Salgueiro–Trindade, Trindade– Eliseu Martins, Salgueiro–Porto de Suape, and Missão Velha–Porto de Pecém sections, whose concession goes until 2057 or until the return of the investment adjusted by 6.75% of the sections, held by TLSA.

The Network links up with the main ports in the region, offering an important competitive advantage by means of opportunities for combined transportation solutions and logistics projects tailored to customer needs.

II. Port Logistics

The Port Logistics Segment consolidates the operation of the terminal built during the post-privatization period of the ports, Sepetiba Tecon. The Sepetiba terminal features complete infrastructure to meet all the needs of exporters, importers and ship owners. Its installed capacity exceeds that of most other Brazilian terminals. It has excellent depths of 14.5 meters in the mooring berths and a huge storage area, as well as the most modern and appropriate equipment, systems and intermodal connections.

The Company’s constant investment in projects in the terminals consolidates the Itaguaí Port Complex as one of the most modern in Brazil, at present with capacity for handling 440 thousand containers and 30 million metric tons per year of bulk cargo.

· Energy

CSN is one of the largest industrial consumers of electric power in Brazil. As energy is fundamental in its production process, the Company invests in assets for generation of electric power to guarantee its self-sufficiency. These assets are as follows: Itá hydroelectric power plant, in the State of Santa Catarina, with rated capacity of 1,450 MW, where CSN has a share of 29.5%; Igarapava hydroelectric power plant, Minas Gerais, with rated capacity of 210 MW, in which CSN holds 17.9% of the capital; and a thermoelectric co-generation Central unit with rated capacity of 238 MW, which has been operating at the UPV since 1999. For fuel the Central Unit uses the residual gases produced by the steel mill itself. Through these three power generation assets, CSN obtains total rated capacity of 430 MW.

· Cement

The cement division consolidates the cement production, distribution and sale operations, which use the slag produced by the Volta Redonda plant’s blast furnaces. In 2011, the clinker used in cement production was acquired from third parties; however, at the end that year, with the completion of the first stage of the Arcos Clinker plant, MG, this plant already supplied the milling needs of cement production plant, in Volta Redonda/ RJ.

In the second half of 2016, the Company started the operation of a new clinker kiln in Arcos, where the Company already operates a clinker kiln using its limestone of a company-owned mine and two cement mills.

The information presented to Management regarding the performance of each business segment is generally derived directly from the accounting records, combined with some intercompany allocations.

· Sales by geographic area

Sales by geographic area are determined based on the customers’ location. On a consolidated basis, domestic sales are represented by revenues from customers located in Brazil and export sales are represented by revenues from customers located abroad.

· Profit per segment

Beginning 2013, the Company no longer proportionately consolidates joint ventures MRS and CBSI. For segment information preparation and presentation purposes, Management decided to maintain the proportionate consolidation of the joint ventures, as historically presented. For consolidated profit reconciliation purposes, the amounts of these companies were eliminated in the column “Corporate expenses/elimination”.

From the 2015, after the combination of mining assets (Casa de Pedra, Namisa and Tecar), the consolidated results shall consider all of this new company.

· Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is the measurement based on which the chief operating decision maker assesses the segment performance and the capacity to generate recurring operating cash, consisting of profit for the year less net finance income (costs), income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization, equity in results of affiliated companies, results of discontinued operations and other operating income (expenses), plus the proportionate EBITDA of joint ventures.

Even though it is an indicator used in segment performance measurement, EBITDA is not a measurement recognized by accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS, it does not have a standard definition, and may not be comparable with measurements using similar names provided by other entities.

As required by IFRS 8, the table below shows the reconciliation of the measurement used by the chief operating decision maker with the results determined using the accounting practices:

		Consolidated

Proportionate EBITDA of joint ventures	502,345	499,475
*Adjusted EBITDA ()**	4,074,940	3,251,419

(*) The Company discloses its adjusted EBITDA net of its share of investments and other operating income (expenses) because it understands that these should not be included in the calculation of recurring operating cash generation.

28 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The pension plans granted by the Company cover substantially all employees. The plans are administered by Caixa Beneficente dos Empregados da CSN (‘CBS”), a private non-profit pension fund established in July 1960 which has as members the employees (and former employees) of the Company and some subsidiaries who joined the fund through an agreement, and the employees of CBS itself. The Executive Officers of CBS is formed by a CEO and two other executive officers, all appointed by CSN, which is the main sponsor of CBS. The Decision-Making Board is the higher decision-making and guideline-setting body of CBS, presided over by the president of the pension fund and made up of ten members, six chosen by CSN, and four elected by the fund’s participants.

Until December 1995, CBS Previdência administered two defined benefit plans based on years of service, salary and Social Security benefits. On December 27, 1995 the then Private Pension Secretariat (“SPC”) approved the implementation of a new benefit plan, effective beginning that date, called Mixed Supplementary Benefit Plan (‘Mixed Plan”), structured in the form of a variable contribution plan. Employees hired after that date can only join the new Mixed Plan. In addition, all active employees who were participants of the former defined benefit plans had the opportunity to switch to the new Mixed Plan.

Version: 1

As of December 31, 2016 CBS had 34,051 participants (33,065 as of December 31, 2015), of whom 19,442 were active contributors (18,430 as of December 31, 2015), 13,783 were retired employees (13,965 as of December 31, 2015), and 826 were related beneficiaries (670 as of December 31, 2015). Out of the total participants as of December 31, 2016, 11,751 belonged to the defined benefit plan, 13,735 to the mixed plan, 1,285 to the CBSPrev Namisa plan, and 7,280 to the CBSPrev plan.

The plan assets of CBS are primarily invested in repurchase agreements (backed by federal government securities), federal government securities indexed to inflation, shares, loans and real estate. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 CBS held 20,143,031 common shares of CSN. The total plan assets of the entity amounted to R$5.0 billion as of December 31, 2015 (R$4.5 billion as of December 31, 2015). The administrators of the CBS funds seek to match plan assets with benefit obligations payable on a long-term basis. Pension funds in Brazil are subject to certain restrictions regarding their capacity for investment in foreign assets and, therefore, these funds invest mainly in Brazilian securities.

Plan Assets are all available assets and the benefit plans’ investments, not including the amounts of debts to sponsors.

For the defined benefit plans, called “35% of the average salary” and “average salary supplementation plan”, the Company holds a financial guarantee with CBS Previdência, the entity that administers said plans, to ensure their financial and actuarial balance, in the event of any future actuarial loss or actuarial gain.

As provided for in the prevailing law that governs the pension fund market, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, CSN did not have to pay the installments because the defined benefit plans posted actuarial gains for the period.

28.a) Description of the pension plans

Plan covering 35% of the average salary

This plan began on February 1, 1966 and is a defined benefit plan aimed at paying pensions (for length of service, special situations, disability or old age) on a lifetime basis, equivalent to 35% of the adjusted average of the participant’s salary for the last 12 months. The plan also guarantees sick pay to participants on Official Social Security leaves of absence and further ensures payments of savings fund, funeral allowance and pecuniary aid. This plan was discontinued on October 31, 1977 when the new supplementary plan based on average salary took effect.

Average salary supplementation plan

This plan began on November 1, 1977 and is a defined benefit plan aimed at complementing the difference between the adjusted average of the participant’s salary for the last 12 months and the Official Social Security benefit for retirement, also on a lifetime basis. As in the 35% plan, there is coverage for the benefits of sick pay, death and pension. This plan was discontinued on December 26, 1995 with the creation of the mixed supplementary benefit plan.

Mixed supplementary benefit plan

This plan began on December 27, 1995 and is a variable contribution plan. Besides the scheduled retirement benefit, it also covers the payment of risk benefits (pension paid while the participant is still working, disability compensation and sick/accident pay). Under this plan, the retirement benefit is calculated based on the amount accumulated by the monthly contributions of the participants and sponsors, as well as on each participant’s option for the manner in which they receive them, which can be lifetime (with or without continuity of pension for death) or through a percentage applied to the balance of the benefit-generating fund (loss for indefinite period). After retirement is granted, the plan takes on the characteristics of a defined benefit plan if the participant has chosen to receive his benefit in the form of monthly income for life. This plan was discontinued on September 16, 2013 when the CBS Prev plan became effective.

Version: 1

The new CBS Prev Plan, which is a defined contribution plan, started on September 16, 2013. Under this plan, the retirement benefit is determined based on the accumulated amount by monthly contributions of participants and sponsors. To receive the benefit, each participant can opt for: (a) receiving part in cash (up to 25%) and the remaining balance through a monthly income through a percentage applied to the benefit-generating fund, not being applicable to death pension benefits, or (b) receive only a monthly income through a percentage applied to the benefit-generating fund.

With the creation of the CBS Prev Plan, the mixed supplementary benefit plan was discontinued for the entry of new participants as from September 16, 2013.

CBSPREV Namisa Plan

It is a Defined Contribution plan with benefits of risks during the activity (projection of the balances in case of disability or death and sickness / accident allowanced). It has been in operation since January 6, 2012, when it was created exclusively for the employees of Nacional Minérios S.A. After the corporate reorganization, which took place in 2016, other Sponsors joined this Plan, among them CSN Mineração S.A.

Under this plan, all the benefits offered are calculated based on the accumulated amount from the monthly contributions of participants and sponsors, and are paid through a percentage applied to the balance of the benefit generating fund. The CBSPREV Namisa Plan is open for new entrants, but a request for analysis to close the plan is underway at Previc.

28.b) Investment policy

The investment policy establishes the principles and guidelines that will govern the investments of funds entrusted to the entity, in order to foster the security, liquidity and profitability required to ensure equilibrium between the plan’s assets and liabilities based on an ALM (Asset Liability Management) study that takes into consideration the benefits of participants and beneficiaries for each plan.

The investment plan is reviewed annually and approved by the Decision-Making Board considering a five-year horizon, as established by resolution CGPC 7 of December 4, 2003. The investment limits and criteria established in the policy are based on Resolution 3,792/09 published by the National Monetary Council (“CMN”).

28.c) Employee benefits

The actuarial calculations are updated at the end of each annual reporting period by outside actuaries and presented in the financial statements pursuant to CPC33(R1)/IAS19 - Employee Benefits.

30.c) Projects and other commitments

· Transnordestina project

The Transnordestina project which corresponds to rail network II of the Northeast Railway System, includes building 1,753 km of new, next-generation, wide-gauge tracks. The project posts an evolution of 52% progress which was expected to completion for 2017 (completion period currently under review and discussion with the responsible agencies). The Company expects that the investments will permit Transnordestina Logística S.A. to transport of several products, such as iron ore, limestone, soy, cotton, sugarcane, fertilizers, oil, and fuel. The concessionaire of the Transnordestina project holds the concession through no longer than 2057, and can be terminated before this date if the minimum return agreed with the Government is reached. Transnordestina has already obtained the required environmental permits, purchased part of the equipment, contracted some of the services, and in certain regions the project is at an advanced implementation stage.

The sources of financing for the project are: (i) financing granted by Banco do Nordeste/ FNE and the BNDES, (ii) debentures issued by FDNE, (iii) Permanent Track Use contracts, and (iv) interest in the capital of CSN and public shareholders. The approved construction investment is R$7,542,000 and the balance of disbursable funds will be adjusted using the IPCA as from April 2012. Should additional funds be required, they will be provided by CSN and/or third parties under Permanent Track Use contracts.

The budget to conclude the project is under review, currently it is being analyzed by the competent agencies (shareholders), and it is expected that the reviewed budget will be as follows: Missão Velha-Salgueiro: R$0.4 billion, Salgueiro-Trindade: R$0.7 billion, Trindade-Eliseu Martins: R$2.4 billion, Missão Velha-Porto de Pecém: R$3 billion, Salgueiro-Porto de Suape: R$4.7 billion, amounting R$ 11.2 billion.

The Company guarantees 100% of TLSA’s financing granted by Banco do Nordeste/FNE and the BNDES, and 50.97% of the debentures issued by FDNE (includes the corporate guarantee of 48.47%, a collateral letter of 1.25% issued to BNB and the corporate guarantee of 1.25% pledged to BNB). Under the FDNE charter, approved by Federal Decree 6,952/2009, and the Investment Agreement entered into with the public shareholders/ financiers, up to 50% of the debentures maybe converted into TLSA shares.

The Court of Auditors of the Union - TCU through a protective order issued in May 2016, regarding the case TC 012.179/2016, forbade new transfers of public resources to TLSA from Valec Engenharia, Construções e Ferrovias S.A., Fundo de Investimento do Nordeste – FINOR, Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Nordeste – FNE, Fundo de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste – FDNE, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES and BNDES Participações S.A.– BNDESPar. After filing an appeal against the protective order and providing the necessary explanations, in June 2016 the order issued by TCU was withdrawn unanimously by the members of this court, with the continuity of investments planned having been restored.

By means of another protective order issued in January 2017, relating to the case TC 012.179/2016, the Court of Auditors of the Union forbade new transfers of public resources to TLSA by Valec Engenharia, Construções e Ferrovias S.A., Fundo de Investimento do Nordeste – FINOR, Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Nordeste – FNE, Fundo de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste – FDNE, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES and BNDES Participações S.A.– BNDESPar. The Company has provided the required clarifications to the TCU and has acted firmly in order that the decision can be repealed soon and the flow of investments planned can be restored.

There is an administrative procedure with the ANTT (National Land Transportation Agency) which evaluates the regular compliance with the obligations of the Concession Agreement corresponding to System II by Concessionaire TLSA. ANTT’s technical area, in a unilateral opinion, understood that non-compliance with the contractual obligations by the Concessionaire is evidenced. The technical area’s opinion is under evaluation and, if the irregularity is proven, ANTT may apply the applicable penalties, among them, forfeiture. The procedure is in fact finding phase and until the moment there is not final decision on the merit.

In relation to the rail network I, there is an administrative procedure before the National Agency for Land Transportation (“ANTT”) that analyzes the regular fulfillment of the obligations of the Concession Agreement by the Concessionaire FTL. In view of a unilateral analysis, ANTT informed that FTL would have failed to comply with the TAC (Conduct Adjustment Agreement) signed in 2013 as a result of the non-compliance with the production target for 2013. ANTT decided to file an administrative proceeding to investigate the non-compliance with the concession agreement and, if the irregularity is proved, it can apply the related penalties, among them the forfeiture. The Concessionaire has not appealed against such decision, and the proceeding is at the finding-of-facts stage and, so far, there is no final decision on the merit.

31 INSURANCE

Aiming to properly mitigate risk and in view of the nature of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries have taken out several different types of insurance policies. Such policies are contracted in line with the CSN Risk Management policy and are similar to the insurance taken out by other companies operating in the same lines of business as CSN and its subsidiaries. The risks covered under such policies include the following: Domestic Transportation, International Transportation, Life and Casualty, Health Coverage, Fleet Vehicles, D&O (Civil Liability Insurance for Directors and Officers), General Civil Liability, Engineering Risks, naming Risks, Export Credit, warranty and Port Operator’s Civil Liability.

In 2016, after negotiation with insurers and reinsurers in Brazil and abroad, an insurance policy was issued for the contracting of a policy of Operational Risk of Property Damages and Loss of Profits, with effect from October 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017. Under the insurance policy, the LMI (Maximum Limit of Indemnity) is US$600 million and covers the following units and subsidiaries of the Company: Presidente Vargas steelworks, CSN Mineração, and CSN Mining. CSN takes responsibility for a range of retention of US$375 million in excess of the deductibles for property damages and loss of profits.

In view of their nature, the risk assumptions adopted are not part of the scope of an audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, were not audited by our independent auditors.

34. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

· Possible Proceedings

· Significant progress in Case 19515.723039/2012-79

In February 2017, the Company was notified of the judgment of the Amendment of Judgment filed due the CARF’s decision on case 19515.723039 / 2012-79, in which the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil challenges the capital gain on the alleged sale of 40% of NAMISA (currently CSN Mineração S.A.). The CARF, in short, agreed with the infringement notice. The Company, however, is taking of the lawfulness of the operation and, therefore, is evaluating the appropriate legal and procedural measures to reverse the decision. It is important to emphasize, finally, that this decision does not alter the assessment of loss on the case, which remains as possible, see note 18.

· Significant progress in Case No. 19515.723053/2012-72

The Superior Board of Tax Appeals of CARF ruled on 03/14/2017 a special appeal by the National Treasury against a previous decision favorable to Namisa, (currently CSN Mineração S.A.) filed in case No. 19515.723053 / 2012-72, in which the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil challenges the deductibility of goodwill amortization expenses arising from the operation carried out with the Asian Consortium in 2008. The CARF, in summary, agreed with the infringement notice. The Company, however, has absolute conviction of the lawfulness of the operation and, therefore, is taking legal measures. It is important to emphasize, finally, that this decision does not alter the assessment of loss of the case, which remains as possible, see note 18.

· Independent investigation – Construction of the Long Steel Plant

Considering the information from a Company’s executive published in the press, based on testimonials to the Court, the Audit Committee decided to contract a specialized forensic service to conduct external independent investigation of the contractual relationship related to the construction of CSN’s Long Steel Plant contract in which there would have been alleged undue payments, as bonus, as a form of reimbursement for payments made to political parties, and to analyze the extent of the business relationships between the contracting parties. The conclusion of the investigation is that nothing from the testimonials referred to above was confirmed, and there are no contingencies deriving from the issues investigated. Consequently, the Company understands that there is no basis to justify the recording of any provision for losses or the disclosure of contingency.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (“Company”), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2016, and the statement of profit and loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional as at December 31, 2016, and its individual and consolidated financial performance and its individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”), and we have fulfilled with other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

Restatement of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015

On November 14, 2016, we reissued the auditor's report, without modifications, on the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements, which are being restated again. As described in note 2.a.b) to the financial statements, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been adjusted and are being restated to: (a) reflect new accounting and fair value measurement adjustments upon the application of technical pronouncement CPC 15 (R1) - Business Combination and international standard IFRS 3 - Business Combination, issued by the IASB, concerning the business combination conducted by subsidiary Congonhas Minérios S.A.; and (b) reflect the review of recoverability analysis and adjustments to deferred income tax balances. Our opinion remains unmodified.

Continuity as a going concern of the joint venture Transnordestina Logística S.A.

We draw attention to note 10.d) to the financial statements, which describes the completion stage of the new railroad network of the joint venture Transnordestina Logística S.A. (“TLSA”), currently under construction, the completion period of which was initially expected for January 2017 and is currently being reviewed and discussed with the relevant governmental agencies. The completion of the project works and consequent startup of operations depend on the continuing contribution of funds by its shareholders and third parties. Those events or conditions, along with other matters described in said note, indicate that a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt on TLSA's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters (“KAM”) are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverable amount of goodwill and investment in joint venture

As disclosed in note 10.a) to the financial statements, the Company has recorded an investment balance, including gains on loss of control, in joint venture TLSA, in the total amount of R$3,747 million. The impairment test of this asset was considered a KAM as it involves a high degree of estimate and judgment by Management in defining the assumptions adopted to determine the recoverable amount and sensitivity and subjectivity of the significant assumptions, which involve projections on market demand, operating margins and discount rate that can materially change the expected realization of those assets, as well as the need to recognize impairment losses on those assets. This matter was considered a significant audit risk and, therefore, significantly involved our attention and our judgment.

Page 135

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (a) assessing the design, implementation and effectiveness of the relevant internal controls determined by Management as to the impairment test; (b) reviewing the analysis prepared by Management, supported by internal fair value specialists, to check the reasonableness of the model used in the mathematical recalculation of cash flows and discounted dividends and measurement of the discount rate; (c) assessing the factors and significant business assumptions that were used to determine the recoverable amount; (d) assessing the main estimates prepared by Management in comparison with available market estimates, when applicable, and recalculating, together with internal specialists, the recoverable amount under an independent corroborative methodology; (e) inquiring the Company’s Management and TLSA’s executives and inspecting the available evidence about negotiations concerning the release of funds by controlling shareholders to resume the construction and release of funds expected from federal government-related agencies and entities; and (f) assessing the appropriateness of disclosures prepared by Management in the financial statements.

Realization of deferred income tax and social contribution assets

As stated in note 16.b) to the financial statements, the Company (parent) recorded deferred income tax and social contribution assets as at December 31, 2016, in the amount of R$252 million, recognized as deduction from the balance of deferred income tax and social contribution liabilities. The realization of those assets is supported by future taxable income projections, which involved the exercise of considerable judgment by the Company, based on assumptions reflecting the aspects inherent in its economic and operating environment, among other factors. Accordingly, considering the significance of amounts involved by the parent company and considerable judgment exercised by Management in determining the relevant realization assessment, we considered such matter a significant audit risk, which therefore significantly involved our attention and our judgment.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (a) assessing the design, implementation and effectiveness of the relevant internal controls determined by Management with respect to future taxable income projections made by the parent company; (b) assessing and challenging the business assumptions and methodology adopted by the Company to prepare the future taxable income projections; and (c) assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures made with respect to deferred taxes.

Provision for risks arising on lawsuits and administrative proceedings

As disclosed in note 18 to the financial statements, the Company has recognized a provision for risks amounting to R$627 million - Parent (R$813 million - Consolidated) to cover probable losses on lawsuits and administrative proceedings of tax, labor and civil nature. <0}

Supported by its in-house and outside legal counsel, the Company exercises considerable judgment in determining the amount of provisions to be recognized and to disclose unaccrued lawsuits assessed as possible loss. Assessing certain lawsuits and administrative proceedings represented a significant audit aspect in view of the significance of the involved amounts for the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole and the significant judgment exercised by Management to assess the likelihood of loss and corresponding disclosures required.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (a) assessing the design, implementation and effectiveness of the relevant internal controls determined by Management to assess whether the provision for risks relating to lawsuits and administrative proceedings is sufficient; (b) obtaining confirmation letters from the outside legal counsel that handle such lawsuits, confirming the relevant amounts and assessing the risks of loss; (c) holding discussions with the Company’s in-house legal counsel; and (d) obtaining technical reports and legal opinions issued by other outside attorneys independent of such lawsuits, which supported the likelihood of loss. Based on this set of information, we assessed together with our tax specialists the merits of the lawsuits and appropriateness of the conclusion on the classification and measurement of the risk of loss determined by the Company and the amounts recorded and/or disclosed in the note to the financial statements.

Page 136

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

We also considered the appropriateness of disclosures, as stated in note 18 to the financial statements.

Risks arising on the independent investigation related to the Long Steel Plant construction

As described in note 34 to the financial statements, the Company became aware that one of its executives was cited in the course of testimonies given in connection with the federal public authorities' investigations into the contractual arrangement relating to the construction of CSN’s Long Steel Plant, under which undue payments were allegedly made, in the form of bonus, to reimburse payments made to political parties. In response to such matter, the Company assessed the issues raised by whistle-blowers in their allegations by conducting an independent investigation under the Audit Committee’s supervision so as to identify pieces of evidence, indications or proof of the allegations made.

We considered this matter a key audit matter due to the limitations intrinsic to the audit procedures applied to the independent investigation, which has its inherent complexities, further requiring the auditor to exercise a high degree of judgment about the sufficiency of the investigation scope, the forensic investigation procedures and techniques used, as well as the possible financial and disclosure impacts on the financial statements. <0}

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, (a) understanding the scope, extent and methodology underlying the work performed by the independent investigation professionals, as well as the results obtained; (b) monitoring and assessing the actions and scope defined by the Audit Committee to conduct and oversee the investigation conducted by independent experts; (c) involving our forensic specialists; (d) assessing the independence and competence of the investigation firm engaged to perform such work; (e) discussing the conclusions reached from the investigation work with the independent experts and the Audit Committee, including the conclusion on the lack of need for adjustments to the financial statements; and (f) considering the disclosure of such matter in the referred note to the financial statements.

Continuity as a going concern

As disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has borrowings and financing (consolidated) as at December 31, 2016, in the amount of R$30.5 billion, of which R$28.3 billion have long-term maturity dates. In preparing the financial statements assuming its continuity as a going concern, the Company considered the achievement of its business plan, represented by cash flow projections for the coming year, which are based on certain operating and financial goals planned by Management, supplemented by actions aimed at reducing debts and refinancing contracted debts, as well as other financial deleverage-related actions. Accordingly, in view of the significance of amounts, the complexity and considerable judgment exercised by Management in determining its business plan for the coming year and defining the operating and financial goals to be achieved, we considered such matter a KAM.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (a) assessing the design, implementation and effectiveness of the relevant internal controls determined by Management in connection with its business plan, reflected in the cash flow projections for the coming year; (b) assessing and challenging the business assumptions and methodology adopted by the Company to prepare the cash flow projections, based on external data and market conditions; (c) inquiring the Company’s Management and its executives and inspecting the available evidence related to the financial deleverage plan and any available alternatives for cash management; and (d) assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures related to the business plan and operating and financial goals in the Company’s financial statements.

Other Matters

Statements of value added

Page 137

(CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FROM THE ORIGINAL PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN PORTUGUESE)

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

The individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management and disclosed as supplemental information for purposes of the IFRSs, were subject to audit procedures performed together with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. In forming our opinion, we assess whether these individual and consolidated statements of value added are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set out in technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, these statements of value added were appropriately prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in such technical pronouncement and are consistent in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Other Information Accompanying the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements and the Independent Auditor’s Report

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report.

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

DFP –– Annual Financial Statements – December 31, 2016 – CIA SIDERURGICA NACIONAL

Version: 1

· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

· Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

· Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
